The second room of the Shen family in the capital. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My father's term of office in Suzhou this year is about to expire, and at the end of the year, I will report on my work in Beijing, and I guess my father will stay in Beijing this time. And on the eldest brother's side, with the care of the Hou Mansion and his father, it is very possible to obtain an official and a half-position in Beijing. At that time, it is inevitable that the whole family will enter Beijing, and you will have time to find out if there is a suitable house in Beijing. Shen Qian, the second master of the Shen family, pondered for a moment, and said to the second lady what he thought of.

When the second lady Zhang heard this, she smiled happily, "It's best for my father and mother to come to Beijing, and I know what the second master means." Tomorrow I will send someone to inquire if there is a suitable house. ”

Zhang was seriously thinking about this matter in his heart, and his father-in-law was very likely to be promoted when he came to Beijing to report on his work this time. Although his family came to the capital, he had no foundation in the capital, and the people who could come and go were the same as the second master, the Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy, and several families who had friendships.

Seeing that the children are getting older and have reached the age of marriage, there are very few people who can choose from them. If the father-in-law can stay in the capital and the official position will be promoted again, the people who come and go will be different, and the children will have more choices when they discuss their relatives.

Zhang pondered like this, and couldn't be more concerned about this matter.

Second Master Shen Qian looked at the hour: "I am relieved to hand over these things to you." Well, you should rest early. I told Aunt Lan yesterday that I would be in her room tonight. ”

Hearing this, Zhang's heart was sour, he frowned, and then suddenly said, "The eldest girl is not young, I was still discussing with Aunt Lan yesterday when to show the eldest girl to others, I see that Aunt Lan has some scruples, if there is any inconvenience to tell me, the second master can ask Aunt Lan again." But I also want to say that even if you want to go on a blind date, you still have to wait for my father to come to Beijing. ”

"Well, you are the mother of the eldest girl, you just need to know these things. Shen Qian picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, and said casually.

At this time, the sixth girl, Shen Huirong, was sitting at the desk, holding a book in her hand, frightened.

The book in Shen Huirong's hand has the words 'disciple rules' written on the cover. This book is written by Qi Jingyao, a famous talented girl in Beijing, a girl in the mansion of the Marquis of Wu'an.

It is said that Qi Jingyao is the third daughter of Wu Anhou, and she has the talent to remember and recite since she was a child.

When he was five years old, he wrote a poem "Lime Yin", which is still recited in Beijing today. It is highly respected by many people who have read poetry and books, "Thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns as if it is idle." I am not afraid of broken bones, and I want to leave my innocence in the world. ”

Of course, there are many people who don't believe that a five-year-old girl can write such a poem.

However, after that, Liu Jingyao had two more poems circulating, which made most people call her a talented girl, namely "Village House" and "Bamboo and Stone", "The grass grows and the warbler flies in the February sky, and the willows on the embankment are drunk with spring smoke." The children returned early from school and were busy releasing paper kites in the east wind. "Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still tenacious, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. ”

Even some great Confucians praised it. After hearing about this, the current sage read Liu Jingyao's poem and ordered the queen to recruit her into the palace. This truly recognized Liu Jingyao's name as a talented woman in the capital.

This year, Liu Jingyao even wrote the book "Disciple Rules", which was widely circulated in the capital after being collected into a book. Today's saints read it and praise it.

Although Shen Huirong has been in the capital for two years, she is not allowed to go out as a woman, and she has heard similar rumors before. However, at that time, Shen Huirong was busy cultivating, learning rules, and learning various talents, how could she have time to notice this, and she ignored the past.

Now Liu Jingyao's reputation is getting louder and louder, and the more "Disciple Rules" is circulating.

This year, Shen Huirong began to go out as a guest with the second lady Zhang, and made a lot of friends, and some people talked about Liu Jingyao's poems and the books she wrote.

Shen Huirong had a bad premonition in her heart when she heard it at that time, and immediately sent someone to buy the book back after returning home. As she expected, Liu Jingyao was also the one who crossed over.

Not to mention how Shen Huirong was in a trance after discovering the same person in the capital.

The people of Suzhou Shen Mansion are preparing to go to Taohua Mountain.

"Are all the things that the brothers and girls want to use? The two of you should also have a good time, we may not come back to this Suzhou City next year. I don't know if there will be a chance to come back in the future, but today you will take them to play a good game. The old lady looked at the young and beautiful girl in front of her, and said kindly.

"Or the old lady will come with us. The daughter-in-law is also looking forward to being with the old lady. The third lady Liu continued, with a smile on her face.

The eldest lady Su didn't say anything, only lowered her head and raised her eyebrows slightly.

The old lady waved her hand with little interest, "That's it, let's play." My old bones won't go with me. Alright, I won't keep you here, and get ready to go. ”

Today, in addition to Pei Ge'er, who is still young, the two brothers, and the three girls are all going to go. There are four girls in the third room. The brothers and girls each brought a maid, and the Su and Liu families brought a maid and a grandmother.

In this way, there were many people, and the government sent eight carriages, one carriage for Su Shi and Jue Ge'er, and one carriage for An Ran and the three girls in Dafang. Originally, the Su family called the second girl, Shen Yanxing, and her a carriage, but Shen Yanxuan refused and wanted to be with her sisters and take care of her sisters.

Although the Su family is the stepfamily, he did not feel sorry for the second girl, at most he was lukewarm to her, and everything was in accordance with the rules. And Shen Yanxin doesn't have any bad feelings about this stepmother, but after all, she occupies the position of her own mother, although she knows that if she is not, there will be others, but in the end, she can't be affectionate with the Su family.

In addition, two carriages were used for the third room, and four carriages were used for the maid and the others and the things to be carried.

"It's the first time I've been out this big, and I don't know what it's like outside. Listening to the noise outside, the seventh girl Shen Yanwei couldn't help but say that Shen Yanwei, the quietest of the sisters on weekdays, couldn't sit still at this time. I just feel that my heart is full of itching.

Mama Xu looked curious when she saw the seventh girl, who was the most gentle and demure on weekdays, and Brother Yue, the second girl, and the third girl next to her were also excited, "It stands to reason that the girls are not allowed to show their heads, but Mrs. knows that it is not easy for the girls to come out once, so she wants to see it." Allowed the old slave to open the curtain and take a look at the girls. ”

Mama Xu is the grandmother next to the eldest lady Su, and this time she went out with Su. Su was afraid that the maid would not be able to serve, so he sent Mama Xu over to watch a few brothers and girls.

As soon as Mama Xu's voice fell, she couldn't even sit still. An Ran came to ancient times for four years, but he never even came out of the backyard, let alone on the street. I really want to see what this ancient street looked like.

At this time, An Ran was even secretly glad that he was reborn as a boy, otherwise he would not have been tied up in the backyard for the rest of his life.

Mama Xu lifted a small corner of the curtain, and several people immediately leaned their heads over.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, including teahouses, taverns, and pawnshops. The streets are full of cars and horses, and people are weaving.

The open spaces on both sides of the street were filled with vendors buying all kinds of things, and there was a burst of shouting.

The carriage passed in front of a vendor who bought sugar gourds. The vendor held a stick of grass and wood, and the red rock sugar gourds hung on it, which were bright and dripping, and made people eat greatly.

Next to it is a noodle kneader, on which are placed all kinds of noodle figures, there are graceful and graceful fairies, innocent children, delicate and cute rabbits, all of them look lifelike.

There are many snacks on the street, and there is a stall not far away to buy hot and sour bean curd, only to see that the stall is full of people, and the rich fragrance wafts on the street.

"It's really lively on the streets. Especially the person on that side is really good-looking, and the fairy seems to be real. The crisp voice of the third girl, Shen Yanrui, came, and Mama Xu had already lowered the curtain, and several people were still a little unsatisfied.

An Ran was also attracted by the bustling street, "I think the little rabbit is the cutest, what does the second sister say?"

An Ran had a hobby of collecting things in his previous life, and the things he collected were not very precious, but what he liked. In the collection of An Ran in the previous life, there were even a few beautiful candy wrappers, a few stones of different shapes, and a few special leaves.

"The second sister must also like fairies. Shen Yanrui said coquettishly.

"Well, I like both rabbits and fairies. Shen Yanheng said lazily.

"Second sister~~~," several people laughed in the carriage.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Peach Blossom Mountain.
