272 Matchmaking
Yan Zike had only returned to Banyuanju when he was close to his son, and a milky glass lamp was lit in the distance, and through the ice flowers on the glass window of the study, he could see that Narcissus was walking around his bookcase near the window. Entering the door and taking off his cloak, he threw it in the chair in the hall casually, the moon cave door on the right hand side led to the study, lifted the lotus seed curtain carved by Tianhe stone and went in, Narcissus staggered from this end of the table with open wings to the other end of the table, and then turned his head and looked at its master with charming eyes.
On the small round table of plum blossoms in the room, there was a plate of red and shiny fried chestnuts with sugar, and I walked over and pinched one, broke the shell into two petals, and inside was a large and fragrant chestnut pulp that was yellow and clear, and put it in my mouth, and there was still a hot breath.
"Has Miss Seven been here?" Yan Zike asked Sizhi, who came in with hot tea.
"Yes, Shu Zheng came over, sat down in Hai Zheng and left, ate a plate of chestnuts, and read the book for a while. Sizhi knew what his master wanted to know, and replied in detail.
"Did Narcissus make trouble?" the master took the teacup, held it in his hand, and warmed his fingers with the heat.
"I read a few pages of the book with Miss Seven, and Miss Seven taught it to speak, but she never learned a word. Shieda laughed.
Yan Zike also smiled, and waved at Narcissus, and Narcissus flapped its wings and flew over and landed on his arm, "What did An An teach it to say?"
"......'Help, I'm a bird!'. "Sizhi Road.
“……”
The swallow walked to the parrot shelf made of plum branches, put the narcissus on it, and paced behind the bookcase in front of the window, sat down to spread the paper and dipped it in ink, and dropped a line of small and thin gold books: The bright moon enters my fast, but what is the matter?
After writing, he folded the paper slightly and handed it to the two branches: "Ming'er will give it to Miss Seven early in the morning." ”
Yan Qi came back from exercising in the morning, and bought a crystal horn on the breakfast stall outside for Young Master Yan Jiu to eat, this crystal horn Yan Qi can eat thirty in one meal, the small size is one of the reasons, and there is nothing to say about deliciousness, using mutton, mutton fat, and sheep's tail to make stuffing, adding green onions, ginger, tangerine peel, salt and sauce, and finally wrapping it with a skin made of soybean flour, with a clear pickle melon side dish, eat a bowl on a winter morning, and the five viscera temples are full of comfortable ironing.
When I went back to the room to freshen up and change clothes, I was putting socks on my feet, when I saw the wind coming in from outside: "Girl, the two branches have sent something, and the person has left." ”
Yan Qi put on socks in one hand and took the things handed by the wind in the other, and saw that it was a bamboo and green paper note and a white plum blossom, first leaned over his nose and smelled it, and let the boiling rain be inserted into the plum bottle of celadon on the kang table, and then opened the note while holding his shoes and went to the study, and came out of it in the middle of the night, still holding the note in his hand, folded it, and gave it to the brewing wind who was still waiting there: "Give this to Banyuanju." ”
Feng Feng: "......, this uncle and nephew can really play, they both live in the same house, and if you have something, you can't use words, and you also write to you literary and artistic young people, we secular philistines really don't understand very much."
Liangzhi according to Yan Zike's instructions before going out this morning, after getting Yan Qi's reply, he immediately went out to Yan Zike's office, Yan Zike returned to the office from the emperor's imperial study, the note was already on his desk, and when he took a look, he saw that two sentences were added under his original two sentences, which were also thin and golden, not as elegant as him, but the knife head swallowtail was clean and neat: the breeze was intentional, blowing the magpie bridge song.
Girl, is this asking him to be a matchmaker? Yan Zike raised her eyebrows and looked at the silver-covered Xifu begonia outside the window.
An An is not nosy, and if she is willing to pay attention to a major event like getting married, it must be related to her two little girlfriends. The girl of the Wu family is not yet mature, and although there are many children of the Wu family, the Wu Changdao couple also hurts her like a palm bead, and it is not the turn of outsiders to worry about it;
Man, since he has been found to be a matchmaker, it must be what he is familiar with, not only he is familiar with him, An An is also familiar with him, and the Lu family girl is also familiar with it, otherwise he can't want to talk about matchmaking so quickly, a man who is familiar to all three people, A man who thinks he is trustworthy, reliable, and worthy of his friends' trust for life, must be a man with a stable career and a clean family, so that her friends don't have to work hard to marry in the past, and can show their advantages and strengths, this person is quite obvious, Qiao Lezi is also.
Yan Zi Ke took his hand and paced slowly in his office. This marriage, he is as optimistic as Yan Qi, although Qiao Datou is not a dragon and phoenix among people, but he is generous and down-to-earth, as a parent official in a city, he also has a parental heart, the Lu family girl has a father and no father, a mother and no mother, married a big head, how much can get some comfort that has been lacking since childhood.
Everything is good, except for one thing - I'm afraid that Qiao Lezi won't agree.
The girl of the Lu family is still young, it seems that she has just passed the age of thirteen, and the age difference between the two is more than ten years, the girl's family doesn't mind, but Qiao Lezi may not be able to do it, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult to do more.
More than thirteen years old, this age is the most youthful and delicate time for girls, in the dynasty, it is not too early to marry at this age, not to mention that even if you don't do anything, you can settle down first, as long as you make a decision, Lao Qiao is the quasi-son-in-law of the Lu family, and support her daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, then it is justifiable, turn around and let Lao Qiao solve a few more big cases, and hang the number in front of the emperor, and when the Lu family girl marries in the past, she will be able to ask for a seal, and then Lu Jingwei will never dare to touch her mother and daughter again.
And Lao Qiao's temperament, the daughter-in-law who is too lively can't cover it for a while, and is deserving of a stable and down-to-earth life, take care of his inner house, let him worry less, originally this Kyoto prefect is the most tiring official, he worries about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people in a city, where is the energy to distract himself from the affairs of his own back house?
Yan Zike thought so, raised his hand and called a small official under his command: "Go to the household department and ask, when will the people from Hedong send the New Year into Beijing leave." ”
The little official hurriedly ran all the way, and it didn't take long to run back: "The eighteenth day of the winter moon is set off." ”
Yan Zike put on his cloak and walked out: "Prepare a horse and go to Taiping Mansion." ”
Qiao Lezi had just tried a case of adultery and murder of a dog man and a woman, and he took a sip of tea after a temporary recess, and then heard the head of the person say that Lord Yan was here, and he began to mumble before he swallowed this mouthful of tea.
"What's the matter?" There was no one left and right, and Qiao Lezi was not polite to the snake spirit disease, and when he saw him enter the door, he asked, meaning that there is something to say that there is nothing to do, and it is okay to be serious, but not to be sick.
"Oh, a colleague of mine, who is in charge of Hedong's income this year, has now gone to Hedong to inspect and inspect in person, and will not leave to escort the New Year's income back to Beijing, because he happened to pass by your hometown, so he came to ask you, do you need to escort your aunt into Beijing together, so that your mother and son can have a reunion in Beijing?" Yan Zike did not sit, wrapped in a cloak and pestle in front of Qiao Lezi.
Qiao Lezi never thought that this goods suddenly came to talk about it, and was a little stunned for a while: "What is it to take my wife into Beijing? The cold road is far away, she may not be willing to come, I will take her to Beijing to live in the first two years, she always said that she is used to living in her hometown, Beijing is not familiar with life, and there is no one who gossips with her to relieve boredom, unlike in her hometown, a group of old sisters get together in a pile all day long, it is good to be lively, if the bones are free, you can also plant a three melons and two dates to raise a few chickens to play......
"While my aunt is not too old, I should invite her old man to come to Beijing to have fun, it is not good to come to Beijing after all the hard work when she is old, live in Beijing for a while, and then send it back when you are tired of it, and then you can talk more with her old sisters, besides, you haven't been home for a few years?" Yan Zike asked.
"Uh...... Since he was transferred to Beijing Middle School, he has not had time to go back......" Qiao Lezi scratched his head and felt ashamed.
"I only rely on sending messages to ask for warmth, and I always report good news and not bad news. How is my aunt's health? Can I worry about my near future? Can my neighbors help take care of me when I see a doctor and take medicine? Can someone help me do the heavy work of repairing the roof and building the courtyard wall, carrying firewood and storing vegetables?" Yan Zike asked.
...... "If you step on the horse, I'm going to cry if you keep talking!" Lao Tzu resigned and went back to his hometown to support his mother!" ”
"Hehe, let's do it, if you can trust me, let me write a letter to Lingtang, and if she wants to come, I will let my colleague go to her home to pick her up, and go to Beijing all the way with the team that dedicates the New Year's income, which is safe and someone to take care of along the way, how about it?"
Qiao Lezi looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to write in the letter?"
"Oh, just say that I am your boss, and at the end of the year I will assess your political performance and virtue, and I can't help but be angry when I see you abandon my old lady at home, because you say that your own old lady is unwilling to go to Beijing, so I sent a letter to confirm that if you are really unfilial, you will be demoted immediately, and go home to raise chickens!"
"......" snake spirit disease, this trick may not really work...... In the past 100 years, their Qiaojia Village has produced such an official as Qiao Lezi, and his family is also in the village because of the scenery, and Daddy Qiao, who has been paralyzed in bed for many years, was so happy that he almost jumped out of bed and walked two steps in the house because of his exam, Qiao Lao Niang and her old sisters always bragged and farted to the stage where no one would obey anyone, and he was his wife's killer weapon: "My son has become a Beijing official, which of you is a son?" immediately held the audience- As soon as I heard that he was going to be masturbated, his mother had to be in a hurry to stimulate his potential and surpass himself, and he would ride a thousand miles and ride directly into Beijing?
Besides, he really misses his mother, in the past few years, he has spent every New Year alone in the yamen, cold, and his heart is really not a taste, he can deceive his mother, and the mother and son spend a New Year together in Beijing, which is also good.
"Okay," Qiao Lezi agreed, "but you can write more leisurely, don't scare my old lady." ”
Yan Zike smiled, revealing the tip of his white teeth.
When I returned to the office, I asked the two branches to imitate Qiao Lezi's handwriting to write a letter to Qiao Lao Niang, the content was very simple: Lao Niang, my son is going to get married, you hurry up to Beijing, you can't do without Gao Tang when you worship the church.
Isn't this better than an excuse to masturbate an official? Qiao Lao Niang is about to go crazy when she wants her son to get married, and she sends a letter here every now and then to force Qiao Lezi to get married, and even to the point of starvation - as long as the gender is female, the male is loved, the facial features are not lacking, and the limbs are sound, if people want to marry, we are willing to marry!
"Then go to Chen Wang on the same city gate building to say, as soon as the team from Hedong entered the city, they immediately picked up Mrs. Qiao to go to the official post house first, and then someone came to inform me. Yan Zike commanded.
After sending the letter, passing the word, and completing the things entrusted by his niece, Yan Zike sat back at the desk and began to deal with the matter at hand, a stack of official documents was sent in, and his desk was piled high, and when Sizhi came in with lunch from the house, he couldn't find where his master was buried by the official documents, and there was only a dizzying mountain of official documents in front of him.
"I've already told my mother," the day before going to Min's house for the banquet, Wu Yue quietly said to Yan Qi, "Wait for Ming'er to go to Min's house, let her mention this matter to Mrs. Lu, as long as Mrs. Lu nods, this matter will not be able to run away!"
People from all walks of life are actively agitating for this matter, but the parties Qiao Lezi and Lu Rong are still in the dark, one thinks that Ming'er's girl is going to Min's house for a banquet, how to avoid another murder, and the other thinks about how Ming'er will spend that day happily with his two little friends An'an Province.
Then it came November 19, the birthday of Lord Min, the head of the household department.
The members of the imperial court are the second grade, and they are relatives of the emperor, and they are still a whole birthday, this birthday banquet can not be made to finish, even the emperor has ordered the palace to perform in the palace to help the fun, who dares not to give the Min family this face? At nine or ten o'clock in the morning, they all came one after another, and the sky was beautiful, and the snow that had been intermittent for the first two days completely stopped last night, and it was sunny early this morning, and the long sky was crystal blue, the silver and white earth, the golden sunshine, and the Qiankun was clear, so that everyone's mood was bright and excited.
When I was dressing in the morning, I found that my girl seemed to have grown up, and pulled it to the door frame to measure it, and sure enough, it was two inches longer than when I had my birthday this year, and I was thinner again, and after wearing the newly bought cotton skirt that was similar to Wu Yue and Lu Lotus, she became more and more slender, and there was a flexible strength beauty that other girls did not have.
"It's time for the girl to dress up," said Cooking Yun as he combed Yan Qi's hair, "I'll be thirteen years old for the New Year." "It's all the age of people who can look at each other.
"Insert a red silk flower on your head, festive and eye-catching. Boiling rain suggested on the side.
Purple clothes with saffron, this aesthetic is no one.
In the end, Yan Qi only hairpinned a few milky yellow plum blossoms tied with fine silk, and a pair of beeswax pendants on her ears.
A large family went out of the door, looked out of the car window, and saw several children in the long room and Mrs. Yan all dressed brightly, as if they were going to go on a blind date.
The mansion of the Min family is more magnificent than the Yan family, after all, it is the second-grade official family of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and there is already a long queue outside the gate at the moment, all of which are congratulatory gifts brought by the guests.
Inside the gate, Min Xuanwei took a few sons and nephews of relatives of the Min family to greet guests there, and when he saw the Yan family led by Yan Zike stepping into the door, his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed - the case of his deceased wife killing was solved by Yan Zike, and his ugly things are known best, although today is his father's birthday, it is also his blind date, and the presence of this person really makes him feel uncomfortable.
Came up to salute and greet, but did not send it in person, only called a cousin to introduce the Yan family to the second gate, Mrs. Yan looked at her husband with a light face, and she didn't pay too much attention to Min Xuanwei, so she had to put on the demeanor of the wife of the official family and follow in without looking away.
Entering the door, the four sides are wide, the snow on the ground is swept away to the residue, the ice under the eaves of the corridor is also clean, a towering ancient pine in the northwest corner is still green and upright, the pine branches are covered with snow, white and green, revealing the owner's family wants to show outsiders a little bit of perseverance and quiet feelings.
However, at this moment, the noisy sound in the courtyard will destroy this feeling, and there are guests everywhere who have just entered the door, everyone greets each other and laughs, and the protagonist of today's banquet, Lord Min, is busy entertaining in the crowd, beckoning the guests to enter the hall, and talking and laughing with all kinds of gods.
The hall is five rooms wide, two rooms on the east and west sides are all opened, becoming two halls, the female guests are in the west hall, and the male guests are in the east hall, but this is also unable to sit down, so the east and west wings are all arranged into the living room, the officials and their families who are slightly lower in the hall only stay in the wing room, and only the officials and family members who are qualified to enter the main hall are above the third grade.
However, the younger generations can't even go to the side room, there are too many people, such as the martial arts, only half of them are enough to dominate the hall, not to mention that there are several official families of the same size as the martial arts in the court, so all the juniors have been taken to the back into the courtyard, the latter can not be in full bloom and the latter is in, the main room and the wing room are all made to wait for the living room, standing in the middle of the courtyard and looking around, the eyes are full of flowers, green, gold and jade belts.
Young Master Yan Jiu's butt was pulled to an unknown place by his fat and thin little brother before he could touch the chair, and Yan Qi's butt was also pulled by Wu Yue to the Wu family's pile as soon as he touched the chair, facing dozens of similar faces of the martial arts, Yan Qi felt that his face blindness had attacked, so he had to say hello in unison: "Are they all here? All right? Where are you?"
"Xiao Qi has lost weight!" The martial artists also greeted her one after another, "It's a pity that you didn't kill Ziyang, but your archery skills are very powerful, we all went to the scene to see it, when will we come to our house and let's learn!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Yan Qi agreed in batches, "Is the fifth brother's feet better?"
A martial artist in front of her said, "What do you see?"
Yan Qi fixed his eyes and looked at it, oh, this is Wu Ting, really, his eyes are dazzled.
"I'm able to move around normally, but I can't do strenuous activities yet. Wu Ting said with a smile.
"Make up for it, eat where to make up for it, and nibble on a few more pig's trotters today. "Yan Qidao.
Wu Ting: "......"
Wu Yue: "Will it be slower and slower the more you make up for it?"
Yan Qi: "How come, according to this, those who eat soft-shelled turtle to replenish their bodies can't lie down and sleep." ”
Wu Yue: "How do you say it?"
Yan Qi: "I can't turn over." ”
Wu Yue: "Hahaha! Will the people who love donkey meat become more and more stubborn the more they eat? Let him go east and he go west?"
Yan Qi: "People who love snake meat have their limbs slowly degenerated. ”
Wu Yue: "If you love to eat wild geese, you will go to the sky with a pat of your arm." ”
Yan Qi: "If you love earthworms, you will become twins with one slash." ”
Wu Yue: "Hahahahahaha, how can anyone love to eat that!"
Yan Qi: "Fifth brother, why did you leave?"
The two second goods were talking about the foaming mouth, and the box suddenly was in a commotion, and the boys ran out of the house, and there were a few girls inside, and the people who didn't know the truth hurriedly chased after them and asked, and after getting the answer, they also ran out, and for a while, the tide rushed to the courtyard where the adults were in front.
"What's the matter?" Wu Yue stared out in surprise, unable to see the reason through the courtyard, and pulled Yan Qi out of the hall door, "Good day, don't have something happening ahead, let's go and see!" 166 Reading Network
