107 Mountain climbing
During the Double Ninth Festival, the Xu family traveled with their family and went to Lingyan Mountain.
Recently, the weather is not as hot as the previous two months, and the ladies have changed into autumn clothes, no longer wearing shirts, but the fans are still in their hands, and they can fan the wind and shade the sun on the mountain at noon.
Zhang was in a good mood, and when he traveled, he specially brought the chef and kitchenware from the house to cook crabs in the mountains to eat.
This decision provoked a group of juniors to be bothered, scrambling to say wishful words in front of Zhang, and Zhang was even happier when he heard it, and gave some chic food to several grandchildren before going out.
The family went out lively, the female dependents and children rode in the carriage, and the brothers Xu Guyu and Xu Gulei accompanied them on horseback.
Since the carriage went up the hill, it was promised that there would always be a gap in the curtain of the carriage. The scenery on the mountain is very beautiful, although you can't rude to open the curtain, but it doesn't hurt to open a crack when there is no one on the road, seeing that Lu Shi didn't stop it, he promised to see the scenery all the way.
The group stopped near a pavilion halfway up the mountain.
The Xu family got up early, and there were no other people here in the pavilion.
There is a stream near the pavilion, Xu Gulei took the little lady of the family to set up a mat and a table by the stream, sat on it to eat snacks and drink tea and soup, Zhang and his three daughters-in-law sat in the pavilion and ate melons and fruits, and Mrs. Xu and Xu Guyu talked near the carriage.
Xu promised that he was now confined to a small piece of the inner courtyard, and he had not seen the mountains and rivers for a long time, and at this moment he was in a particularly good mood looking at the crystal clear stream, and he put his hand in from time to time to play with the stones at the bottom of the stream.
Xu Gulei is a child king, a few juniors who can make anything laugh casually, even the promise of a high laugh point is also made by him to laugh non-stop, as for Xu Wuniang, who has a low laughing point, the laughter has not stopped since he sat down. I almost burst out laughing.
Xu Gulei was very satisfied with his battle situation, and said after eating and drinking: "Liuniang, I heard that you have good piano skills, and you have studied with your second sister-in-law for so long. ”
The promise was in a good mood, and he agreed kindly, waiting for the maid to move the piano over. She played a tune she had just learned. Casual elegance without losing pleasure.
After playing the song, there was applause behind him.
Promise turned his head to look. It turned out to be Ye Niangzi.
There were several young sons and ladies standing beside her, and several young ladies had a flush on their faces and fine sweat on their foreheads, apparently climbing the mountain.
"Master. Why didn't you take the carriage?" Xu Yu and several other ladies of the Xu family got up to salute Ye Niangzi, and then asked out loud.
A shallow smile appeared on Ye Niangzi's face. He said: "The weather is very good today, and these children can't sit still in the car at the foot of the mountain, so I took a note and took them up the mountain." "Although the Ye family has a strict family style, they pay more attention to accompanying their own wishes. It's not uncommon to climb mountains together.
Xu didn't think about anything else, just thinking about why the Ye family's carriage was slower than people.
Ye Niangzi seemed to know what Xu Promise was thinking, and seemed to mention it casually: "When I got on the car at the foot of the mountain, I met someone from the Wang family." The carriage must have been talking to the Wang family when it didn't come. ”
The Wang family is also a tea merchant and has an intersection with the Ye family. It's also normal to come across and say that the conversation is also normal.
A few months ago, the Wang family lost the opportunity to make the Xu family's tea become a tribute tea, and Wang Ying's hijacking of Xu Pingqi and Xu Erlang made the Xu family remember it even more.
The people of the Xu family were all stunned when they heard Ye Niangzi's words, it was not that they did not get together! But in the face of the people of the Wang family, their Xu family had nothing to lose, and it was the Wang family who couldn't raise their heads.
The most worried of all people is Xu Guyu, Wang Ying's matter was hidden last time, but if the Wang family's tongue is not clean, how can it be good to say something that should not be said!
What's more, Wang Qiniang has now been withdrawn, if he comes to him, will he recognize this daughter or not?
Of course not...
The Wang family shouldn't have come up to the mountain!
When he had a plan in his heart, he whispered something in the ear of the little girl, and the little girl immediately ran down the mountain.
Xu Yu naturally noticed Xu Guyu's immediately sinking face and the little guy who ran down the mountain, but he nodded to Ye Niangzi quietly in response, thinking that she could be regarded as a wake-up call for the Xu family when she said such a sentence.
"Liuniang is willing to climb the mountain with me, although there is no stream on the top of the mountain, but the scenery is even worse. Ye Niangzi rarely invited someone to do anything, and promised to always want to climb the mountain, after hearing this, her eyes immediately lit up, and when she looked into the pavilion, she saw Lu's promised gaze.
She saluted towards the pavilion, and then said to Ye Niangzi: "Okay." ”
Xu Erlang also ran to the pavilion to ask the Ding family when he saw it, the people of the Wang family were about to come up, he didn't want to stay here, and he still remembered the pain after his eyes were stung by a wasp.
Ding saw the anxious appearance of the concubine, and naturally promised, and ordered the two servants to follow.
So Xu Promise and Xu Erlang went to the top of the mountain with the people of the Ye family.
The Ye family is a famous family in Liangzhejiang Road, the family is big, and there are many heirs, there are nearly ten Langjun Niang who is about ten years old who climb the mountain today, and the demeanor is very similar, with the unique elegance of the Ye family.
Xu Promise and Ye Niangzi fell behind, she was in better health than her peers, even if she ran up the mountain, there was no problem, but she heard Ye Niangzi's slowly heavier breathing and knew that she was a little tired, so she accompanied her behind.
After walking for a while, he asked, "I don't know if you would like to go to Bianjing with me, master?"
Ye Niangzi has been teaching tea ceremony in the Xu family for many years, and now the second room has moved her family to Beijing, Xu Erniang, Xu Sanniang and Xu Qian are all waiting to be married.
Xu promised to feel that it was overkill for Ye Niangzi to stay in the Xu family like this, and she would only be given the platform she deserved when she went to Bianjing, otherwise she would not have asked such a question.
The Ye family also has several families in Bianjing, and Ye Niangzi's own brother is now working in Bianjing, if she goes, she will not be lonely.
Ye Niangzi shook her head after hearing this: "The climate in the north is dry, not as good as Suzhou." ”
The implication is that he will not go to Bianjing.
Ye Niangzi refused to be euphemistic, promised not to ask again, and found another topic to ask: "Then what are your plans in the future?"
"I saw a family a few days ago, and I was satisfied with my conduct and appearance, and he will come over at the end of this month. Ye Niangzi replied lightly.
Listening to the promise in his ears, but the thunder was rolling, Ye Niangzi has been single for so many years, and now she is about to get married?
In the early years, many people valued Ye Niangzi's talent and were willing to join the Ye family, but they were all rejected by Ye Niangzi, I don't know what kind of person is now, and it has actually entered her eyes.
Xu Promise was very curious in his heart, and he suppressed it a few times without suppressing his curiosity, and asked with a deep breath: "I don't know when I met, which family is it?" Ye Niangzi's good talent and dusty temperament, her vision must not be low, and the person who is willing to marry must be good enough, but the person who is excellent in pain will not be in trouble!
