104 Sending off
Old lady Xu nodded reassuringly, and said: "That's good, but Siniang has such a temperament, I'm afraid it's not a safe place to go to the capital, if you can get married during this time, you will be sure early, and it's good to stay at home." ”
He also agreed to marry Xu Qian to the Zhang family.
Old lady Xu has always put interests first, and expanding the Xu family's business is his primary concern.
Whether it is the forbearance of the Zhang family over the years, or the family affairs between Xu Guyu and Xu Gucheng, or even the marriage of the two concubines and children, it is the choice he made based on the development of the Xu family.
After the two talked a few words, they went to the study and talked deeply about what happened after Xu Gucheng arrived in Bianjing.
After Xu Gucheng arrived in Bianjing, Old Lady Xu had already made a list, and he also had a preset as to which family would give what gifts.
Although Xu Gucheng had his own plans in his heart, he still calmly listened to Old Lady Xu's instructions.
When he came back from school in the evening, he learned that Lu's hand was healed, and he didn't have time to drink saliva and went to Yingcheng Courtyard, and he heard the long sound of the piano from a distance.
That's great!
Ji Xuan's medical skills are indeed amazing!
"Mother!" waited for the song to end, and then promised to enter the house.
Lu Shi smiled lightly, beckoned Xu Yu to sit beside her, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to learn this song?"
"Children want to hear it, they don't want to play it themselves. Xu Promise snuggled up to Lu's body, sniffing the fragrance on her body, and looked satisfied.
"You kid, why are you getting lazy?" Lu grabbed the promised hand and put it on the strings.
Xu Yu held Lu's hand and took it in front of her eyes to look at it carefully, and found that her hand was as white and tender as in the past, and the shallow traces that could still be seen yesterday were gone.
Ji Xuan is really amazing, it only took two days to make all the scars on his hands heal, and now he is no longer able to play the piano. Although I think so. But I still couldn't help but say: "Mother, your hands are good, don't be tired." ”
"I was just thinking about trying to see what kind of process my hand healed to. Unexpectedly, I didn't feel anything when I stroked the piano, so I didn't stop. I'm done with this song. Lu's peach blossom eyes were full of smiles, bright and bright, the incident of being pricked by poisonous needles on the day of the Qiqiao Festival did not have any effect on her, and she was much calmer than Xu Promise and Xu Gucheng these days, taking medicine and applying ointment on time.
As for Aunt Du's side, she only said that I don't owe you or Siniang.
A few days later, Uncle Du came to visit in person and gave a big gift to the Xu family, with an extremely humble attitude. couldn't see that he was the richest man in Suzhou, he wanted to see Aunt Du, but Xu Gucheng politely refused, and then left angrily.
Zhang first got Zhang's willingness to defend and then returned to Hangzhou non-stop, and told his family about it, and the Zhang family was naturally happy.
First, Xu Qian was originally good enough, and secondly, Xu Gucheng was about to be promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry, and his future was immeasurable.
Without any hesitation. The Zhang family found a matchmaker to come to Xu's house to propose marriage, and when the matchmaker came, he happened to meet Uncle Du who came out in anger, and Uncle Du opened his mouth to ask. I almost fainted in anger.
In the whole of Suzhou, it is not possible to find a niece who has learned and compared with his appearance, whether the Xu family has no long eyes or what, he actually let the matchmaker of the Zhang family enter the door!
Uncle Du wanted to find Xu Gucheng to theorize, but he couldn't see anyone for a long time, so he had to go back to Du's house first and discuss the matter with his father.
The day of Xu Gucheng's departure is set for July 23, and Xu Pingqi will go to Beijing with him, in his words, a man is not afraid of the heat, and it can be regarded as a tempering along the way. As for Ji Xuan. decided to go to Yingtian Academy to study, and set off with Lu's promise.
Xu Pingqi is leaving. A group of teenagers from the Ding family's school were clamoring to hold a banquet at the Xu family.
Although Xu Pingqi never revealed a word, the Lu family often walked around with Mrs. Ding. After learning about it, he naturally arranged a banquet, and set it for July 20, and asked Xu Pingqi to write a post and send it to his classmate's home. …
Xu Pingqi is calm and quiet on weekdays, but his popularity in the Ding family school is not bad, and more than a dozen young men came that day.
The banquet was placed in the hall of the outer courtyard, and the chrysanthemums around were blooming, and a group of teenagers sat on the mat, chanting poems or talking about the hottest topics of the moment, which was very lively.
"Xu Erlang, you are leaving, you can't participate in the Chrysanthemum City Meeting!"
"He is not yet ten years old, and he can't go to Suzhou if he stays!"
"Eh, I forgot, I'm four years older than him, but I think I'm the same age. ”
"Fifteen Lang is here, why did you come so late, punish you for composing a lyric. ”
Ye Qingchen came late, he brought a set of tea sets to Xu Pingqi, a quick young man opened the box, everyone gathered around to see, and found that the tea sets were very exquisite.
A group of people asked Ye Qingchen to order tea to drink.
Ye Qingchen rarely orders tea outside, but when he wanted to see Xu Pingqi off today, he didn't shirk it, rolled up his sleeves and personally took out the tea set from the box.
"Ye Shishilang is rare to order tea, you have to use good water and good tea! Xu Erlang, go find some dew or spring water, and then find some tea before Ming. Several teenagers were very happy and pushed Xu Pingqi to ask him to find something.
Xu Pingqi didn't like tea very much, so there were no good tea balls in the house, let alone spring dew.
But he couldn't spoil everyone's interest, so he thought of the promise and went to the inner court.
When Xu Gucheng arrived at the Ming Hibiscus Pavilion, he promised to eat watermelon and was very happy, although there were no water stains on his face, but his hands were very wolfy, full of watermelon water.
"Erlang, aren't you having a banquet with your classmates, why are you here?" Xu Yu embarrassedly put down the melon skin that she had gnawed to the bottom, hid her dirty hands behind her, and asked ladylikely.
Xu Pingqi pretended not to see it and asked, "I remember that my grandfather gave the sixth sister some tea during the Qingming Festival, I wonder if there is any left?"
"Yes, Chuntang, bring me the tea cage that my grandfather gave me. Xu Yu found a handkerchief from behind him and wiped his hands indiscriminately, and didn't ask Xu Pingqi what he wanted the tea group to do, and gave it to him directly.
Xu Pingqi took it, thanked him, and spoke embarrassedly, but he did not lose his usual calmness: "I don't know if the sixth sister has spring water or dew?"
Xu Promise was a little curious and asked, "Do you want tea?" She remembered that Xu Pingqi was not interested in the tea ceremony.
"Ye Shishilang is going to order tea, and I'll find some tea balls and water for tea. Xu Pingqi said.
As soon as he heard the promise, he became interested, Ye Qingchen was the heir of the tea ceremony cultivated by the Ye family, and he heard that the tea ceremony could already be on par with some great Confucians. He rarely orders tea outside on weekdays, but today he actually ordered tea at Xu's house, which is really rare.
Xu Promise instructed July to bring water and hand it to Xu Pingqi's little guy who was waiting outside.
……
Not long after Xu Pingqi left, Xu Yu escaped Chuntang's surveillance and slipped out, and went to the front yard where the banquet was set up and hid behind a tree.
Her steps were light and her breathing was shallow, and no one noticed her standing there.
From a distance, I saw Ye Qingchen wearing a black shirt, sitting in front of the tea table, his every move revealed elegance, and his expression was integrated with the action of ordering tea.
Time seems to have stagnated for the fragrance of tea under his hands, which is the essence of ordering tea, elegant and comfortable, and indisputable with the world. (To be continued)
