After the lecture that day, Mo Huaijin said goodbye without saying goodbye.

Shen Mingyan spends her time watching flowers and teasing cats in the yard every day.

That little thing was very wild, and when he saw Shen Mingyan pulling his legs, he ran away.

Shen Mingyan also spread out her steps and chased after her all over the yard.

"Stop! stop!"

"Three girls, it's climbed the wall!"

"Three girls, it's in the tree!"

"On the rockery!"

"Hurry! It's around the corner!"

Shen Mingyan wiped the sweat on her face and stomped her feet: "This cat, I don't want it!"

Qin Qingyu sighed helplessly: "You!"

"Mother, are you finally willing to come out?" Shen Ming's blushing little face was full of flattery.

Qin Qingyu pretended to be annoyed and said, "If you don't come out again, you can tear up our house." ”

"Okay!" Shen Ming stepped forward and grabbed her mother: "Sister-in-law quietly accompanies her mother!"

Qin Qingyu led her daughter to the solid wood arch bridge on the small pond in the courtyard. At this moment, it is the time when the new lotus comes out of the water, and the turquoise leaves are curled and just emerging from the water, young and fresh. The small pond meanders all the way out of the wall.

Mother and daughter stood still on the bridge. Look down at the new blue leaves, and look up at the white walls and tiles. Under the bright sun, the houses are more and more peaceful and beautiful.

Although the small courtyard where Shen Ming lives is in the city, it is a quiet place in the middle of the noise, surrounded by deep-walled compounds, and the people who live there are either rich or noble, and they are also very quiet on weekdays.

Qin Qingyu let her daughter snuggle up on her shoulder and smiled: "Mr. said that you are okay, my mother still doesn't believe it, looking at your situation in the past few days, it is indeed very good!"

"Mother" Shen Mingyan felt that her mother didn't seem to have heard of those sad things, and she was as warm as ever. If you want to ask, you can't ask, for fear that your mother will be unhappy, so she asked, "Mother, haven't your father come these days?"

"Your dad has his own business to do. Like you, the gentleman is gone and gets wild. ”

Shen Mingyan remembered that her father did not come back much, and most of the time was spent with her mother.

"Mother, I want my father to teach me to do business, and then help hire a martial artist! "You must have the ability to make money, and you must also have the ability to defend yourself! If you can do light work, you can easily escape from the fire if you can fly the eaves and walk the wall.

Qin Qingyu frowned and pulled her daughter away from her shoulders, staring at her daughter's eyes tightly with a pair of bright pupils: "What do you do to study business well? That is what the girl who has not left the pavilion does? Even if your eldest mother helps your father, it is also in the name of your father and eldest brother." Not to mention learning martial arts, my mother is reluctant to let you dance with guns and sticks!"

Facing her mother's gaze, Shen Mingyan also frowned: "It's okay if you don't learn to do business, then at least learn a craft, stir-fry tea, embroidery, or something to support yourself, kung fu must be learned." ”

"Sister-in-law!" Qin Qingyu grabbed her daughter's hand: "Are you still immersed in that terrible dream? Mr. said you came out!"

"Mother, this is a rainy day! Aren't you worried that I'm wild? Then you have to find something to do!"

Seeing her daughter say this, Qin Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a relieved smile: "The concubine has really grown up! When your father comes, your mother will consult with him. ”

At this moment, the mansion in the east of the city is full of people coming and going, busy and orderly.

In the hall, the fragrance of tea is rising, and the sound of the piano is melodious.

Shen Xianling and Lu Xiuying sat face to face around the mahogany table.

Shen Mingyu, who was wearing a red dress on the side, stood behind her mother and interjected from time to time.

Shen Mingyan is Tsing Yi with plain hair stirring the strings. Shen Mingyan silently watched her eldest sister play the piano with a look of admiration.

"Master, can you see if you have been invited?" Lu Xiuying put a stack of invitations full of names in front of Shen Xianling.

Lu Xiuying wore the most exquisite makeup, wearing a red long skirt, and the long skirt was woven with thin gold silk to weave thin flowers, luxurious and dignified.

"Okay!" Shen Xianling smiled and took the name post, and looked through them one by one. After reading it, his brows frowned slightly: "Are these too few?"

Lu Xiuying hurriedly said: "The people with heads and faces in the Western Capital are all included, and even a few prime ministers' mansions are included."

Shen Xianling smiled warmly: "Madame is natural and thoughtful, but those relatives and nobles may not be welcome." ”

Shen Mingyu pressed her mother's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Daddy, you have a royal order!"

"That's why Daddy can't leave out any young talent. This matter is related to the national system, although Wu Yue is small, he can't let the prince of Da Zhou look down on it. Otherwise, my father would have lost Jun's grace, and I would have lost the meaning of Hu Erye's recommendation. This time, Hu Erye also contributed his courtyard in the west of the city as the venue for the tea tasting conference. ”

Shen Mingyu's eyes lit up and she smiled: "Yu'er has an idea, I don't know if it will work." ”

Shen Xianling looked at her daughter and smiled gently: "Tell me!"

"Mother's post is still posted, daddy, you can set up a bureau. Shen Mingyu said this, paused and said: "As for how to say it, Yu'er hasn't thought about it yet." To put it simply, at the entrance of the tea tasting meeting, put some tea. Those who do not have a name can enter as long as they can taste the provenance of the tea variety. Your connections and the connections of the second master, there will be many people who understand tea and love tea. Besides, now is the peak season for tea picking, and the tea is doubled, so setting up a situation can lead to real tea lovers. In this way, not only the Western Capital, but also the entire Wu Yue's talents will not be left behind. At that point, you can select the available talents. ”

"Okay!" Shen Xianling slapped the table and smiled: "Yu'er's idea is very good!"

Lu Xiuying saw her husband Jun Dayue and hurriedly smiled: "If the master thinks it is good, the concubine will send someone to send the name card out." ”

"Okay!" Shen Xianling lowered his head and picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.

Lu Xiuying patted Shen Mingyu's hand: "You take the name card to your eldest brother and ask him to send it to you." ”

"Okay!" Due to excitement, Shen Mingyu's whole face turned red.

After Shen Mingyu left, Lu Xiuying said to Shen Mingyan, who was stroking the qin: "Yan'er, you take your sister out, my mother has something to discuss with your father." ”

"Yes!" Shen Mingyan pressed the strings.

Seeing the eldest daughter leading the younger daughter out, Shen Xianling looked at Lu Xiuying and said with a smile: "What is the important matter, you have to send them away." ”

Lu Xiuying moved closer to her husband: "Naturally, they shouldn't listen to it." ”

Shen Xianling didn't speak, only looked at his wife with a smile.

Lu Xiuying sighed slightly: "You are busy with your career, do you know that Yan'er is already in time, and Yu'er is also thirteen." Si Yao is younger than Yan'er, and she is married to Tao'er. Are you going to keep our daughters as old girls?"

"Oops!" Shen Xianling patted his head: "It's still thoughtful to be a mother, my father is really derelict in his duties." I always feel that the child is still young. Madame, don't worry, when you're done with this while, you will definitely help their sisters find a good family!"

"Isn't this a great opportunity, isn't this a great opportunity?" Not to mention the young talents, so many relatives and nobles should not be missed.

"This" Shen Xianling hesitated for a while: "I'm afraid it's not suitable." ”

"Don't worry, sir, you only need to take their sisters with you when the time comes. Besides, it is now prevalent for women to wear men's clothes, so it will not be decent to let the sisters follow you in men's clothes. Yan girl is steady, and the girl is much better than those little girls of yours. ”

"This" Shen Xianling looked at the longing in his wife's eyes, and wanted to say something, but stopped: "Let me think about it again." ”
