Chapter 13 A peerless uncle with brilliant writing
"Zhe'er, Yan'er, come on, come here, I haven't seen you for a long time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoYour uncle still talks about you a lot. Wang looked at Chu Ziyan, made a straight face, nodded her head, and said, "You are a little conscienceless, Zhe'er is fine, he is studying in other places." But you live in the capital, and you won't be able to walk for long.
However, in addition to the Chinese New Year, when will you take the initiative to come and take a walk. Every time your uncle receives a letter from your mother, he is weak and says that he has not taken good care of you. But you ...... too."
"Mother, cousin knows that she is wrong, isn't this coming with your cousin?" Gu Yuanmiao immediately said: "Cousin and Cousin Yan are here here, you can't keep talking at the door." ”
"Yes, auntie, Yan'er was not in good health before, so she didn't come over, for fear that you would be sick. No, as soon as Yan'er is well, she will come over immediately. ”
"Okay, let's go in now. It just so happened that your uncle greeted the guests and introduced you to Zhe'er. ”
After Chu Ziyan entered, she separated from her eldest brother and cousin and walked to the second courtyard.
"Auntie, why do you want to go upstairs?"
Wang smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you go up." ”
The number of times Chu Ziyan came to Taifu's Mansion in her previous life, she could count it with one hand, and every time she came, she obediently sat there to eat and drink tea, ready to go home. I've never been to the backyard, but this time I came here and found that it was really exquisite.
Walk up the narrow staircase and go up to the attic, where a table has been prepared. Aunt Wang pushed open a small window, beckoned to Chu Ziyan, and said, "Come here." ”
"Oh. ”
When I walked to the window, I found that I had no idea what the phrase "climb high and look far" was. The building was not built very high, but Chu Ziyan was still a little worried when she looked below, what would happen if she fell. She couldn't help shrinking back, but she looked to the side again, and there was a Qionghua tree, and the tree was full of Qionghua.
Isn't this a flower that is supposed to grow in the south, how can it be here. And its flowering period is April and May, why does it bloom so well at this time.
"This is what your uncle found to plant," Wang patted her on the shoulder again, motioning to look down to the right.
"It's not ......"
Wang nodded and said, "Your uncle is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, so naturally he knows many young and promising students. Today, I invited a few talented students to call you over. Let Zhe'er know more people, these may be his officials in the same dynasty in the future.
It's good to get to know each other before. As for you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Chu Ziyan said: "Auntie, Yan'er doesn't want to be an official, you don't need to know each other." ”
"Don't be confused, how old are you, you haven't promised anyone yet. You are not your cousin Yuanmiao, and you will enter the palace in the future. Wang said, and deliberately glanced at Yuan Miao, and then said: "You are twelve now, but you will be thirteen in two or three months, and it is time to settle down." ”
"But my reputation ......"
"If my sister-in-law had been by your side, she wouldn't have made you like this. Wang said: "Your temperament is not spicy at all, and you are cool, if you marry into a wealthy family in the future, you will definitely suffer." So, this time I will take you over to take a look.
These are some poor people, but they have good character. You pick one of them and let your uncle and brother observe more. If there is no problem, it is easy to find someone to propose. In the future, he will rely on your mother's family to get up, as long as your uncle and your father are still there, he will definitely not dare to bully you.
Your life is just getting better. ”
"Auntie, I ......"
"Don't worry, there is this tree in the way, and it's not easy for the people below to see it. But you can see them clearly. Wang whispered two more words in Chu Ziyan's ear.
Chu Ziyan said with some embarrassment: "Uncle, I'm still young. ”
"It's not small, you can take a look at it more, so you don't have to be deceived. ”
After Wang had finished speaking, he walked to the side of the banquet, ordered the table to be moved to the window, and then said, "You go down and keep watch, and don't let anyone else come up." ”
"Yes. ”
Hongyu also followed a kind of girl, leaving only the Wang family, Gu Yuanmiao and Chu Ziyan.
"Come, you sit here. Wang pointed to a stool next to him and said, "Yan'er, take a good look." If you feel the right fit, you can dress up as a boy and talk to them. ”
Even if Chu Ziyan had pretended to be a man on the street before, she couldn't let others know. However, this aunt, what's the matter, let her go directly.
"Only by knowing more can you know whether that person is suitable for you or not. Before I married your uncle, I talked to him three times before I was sure that he was the right person for me. Later, when my dad asked, I nodded. Otherwise, I won't say yes. ”
Gu Yuanmiao, who was next to her, blushed a little and said, "Mother, why don't you teach your sister to learn well." ”
"Why don't you learn this well, as long as you keep the rules and eat and drink with men, what's wrong. Dafeng also has no clear law, saying that women can't eat and drink with men. ”
"This ......"
"You, I don't expect you to be like me. Wang said, wiped away his tears, and said, "If it weren't for the time when I gave birth to you, I would have hemorrhaged and lay in bed for a few years." I'm not going to let you keep it with someone else. ”
"Mother, why are you talking about this again, my grandmother died a few years ago. Besides, she is also very careful in raising her daughter, and she has never been short of anything. ”
"Yes, aunt, my cousin is now a celebrity in the capital. I'm like this, in this life, I'm afraid it's beyond my reach. ”
Wang's tears were also collected quickly, and he immediately looked at Chu Ziyan and said, "I just hope that you can all find a good husband and live a good life." ”
"Got it. ”
After Chu Ziyan finished speaking, she looked out the window, and she saw an acquaintance, no, two acquaintances.
"Why did they come?" Chu Ziyan said unconsciously.
Wang sat beside her, heard it, saw it, and said, "That's Pingyuan Marquis Su Buqing and his son Su Zhiyuan. Both of them were guests invited by your uncle. ”
Chu Ziyan asked in a low voice, "Why did my uncle invite them?"
"You don't know yet, because the previous scholars of the Ministry of Rites and the academicians of the Hanlin Academy were suddenly killed, so although Su Buqing is not in power, he has become a popular candidate for the imperial examination. ”
Chu Ziyan understood in seconds, and she also knew a lot about this father-in-law in her previous life. He is brilliant in writing and very good at painting. The emperor invited him into the palace to paint a portrait. It's just that he has no intention of officialdom, otherwise, with his ingenuity, the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion would not be the miserable scene it was back then. (To be continued.) )
