At the end of September, the marriage of Huan Lingshan and Zhou Chong was completely engaged.

The two families of Huan and Zhou performed the gift of Najib, the eight characters matched, and the Zhou family officially issued a letter of appointment, and the wedding date was set for October of the following year.

In this way, Huan Du, as the elder brother, will marry Xiao Lingjiang before this.

Outside the window, the autumn wind blows, and the fallen leaves fall.

The curtain is half rolled, the golden sunset obliquely enters the house, falls on the batik screen of the sheep tree on the yellow ground, and on the high table on one side, two bottles of wild chrysanthemums in full bloom are placed oppositely, elegant and quiet.

On the opposite mat, Zheng Suishang was wearing a green lake-colored skirt, with a simple fallen horse bun on his head, at this moment, his head was slightly lowered, and he was holding a scroll of yellow calendar for the coming year in his hand, choosing a good day and auspicious day.

"Madam, someone from the Li family is here. ”

After listening to Xin Yi's report, Zheng Sui raised his head, a moment of confusion flashed in his eyes, and for a moment, he frowned slightly, did not speak immediately, looked at Xin Yi's gaze, and motioned for her to continue with an inquiry.

The Li family sent two servants to report the funeral, saying that on the nineteenth of this month, Mrs. Li had died of illness. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Sui's face changed greatly, and he asked in a lost voice: "What the hell is going on?" It has been ten years since Li Xue was sent back to the Li family, and there has been no contact with her for all these years, so that she almost forgot that there was such a person.

It's just that if she remembers correctly, Li Xue is younger than her, only in her early thirties.

Xin Yi hurriedly replied: "I heard that in the past two years, Mrs. Li's health has been bad, and since the beginning of autumn this year, she has experienced two cold winds, and she can't afford to be sick, so she suddenly went like this." ”

"Did you send someone to tell Lang Jun?" asked Zheng Sui.

"Nope. I heard Xin Yi explain: "Early this morning, after the Minister of State and Qilang came to find Lang Jun, they never left the study, so they came to report to Mrs. first." The Qilang in her mouth refers to Zheng Ji, who has been serving as the national agricultural commander of Luling County for all these years, and is in charge of all tax revenues in the county.

Zheng Sui pondered for a while, "Reward their family with fifty taels of gold, and choose an auspicious place for burial." ”

"Wow. Xin Yi responded and asked again: "Lang Jun's side, do you want to say anything?"

"It's time to let me know. Zheng Sui glanced at Xin Yi lightly and advised, "Don't be smart, I won't deal with a dead man." ”

When Xin Yi heard this, his face flushed slightly with shame, and he responded, "It's the maid who is narrow-minded." ”

Zheng Sui knew that Xin Yi was thinking about her, so he didn't say anything to blame.

At night, two servants from the Li family went to the outer courtyard to see Huan Yu.

Long before seeing the two servants, Huan Yu had learned all the news from Qi Wukou, and the whole person looked extremely calm, until one of the lean male servants handed over a roll of white silk, on which was painted a picture of a snowy night, Huan Yu only glanced at it, the corners of his eyebrows pulled slightly, and turned his head to stare at the servant standing on the side, "You are Qilang?"

With a determined tone.

There was a plop, and the thin manservant knelt down excitedly, his eyes shining, "Yes, I'm Xiao Qi." "He is the seventh lang of the Li family, Li Xue's brother, back then, when Huan Yu recommended him to study in Guozijian, he had met him.

"You get up. Huan Yu looked at Li Qilang, who was dressed as a servant and looked a little old-fashioned, and said lightly, retracting his gaze, the young scholar of more than ten years ago had clear eyes and did not touch dust.

In a blink of an eye, he became a shrewd middle-aged man, with a messy beard and a body full of vicissitudes.

"General,......" Li Qilang saw Huan Yu looking at the silk painting, as if he hadn't heard it, and immediately swallowed the words in his mouth.

The room was very quiet, and there was an old servant who came with Li Qilang standing in the hall, Qi Wu was waiting outside the door, and the candle flame as thick as an arm was a few days high, dancing with the wind blowing outside the door, and the flames jumped.

Occasionally, there is a horn sound.

It seems that a long time has passed, and it seems that only a moment has passed, and the fine sand in the hourglass has not increased.

Suddenly, Huan Yu asked, "This is what she painted?"

"Yes, it was painted by Ah Mei. ”

Li Qilang hurriedly replied, and was worried that Huan Yu would not believe it, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and said it all, "After Ah Mei returned to Li's house, she was determined to learn to paint, and the family spent a lot of money to hire a female gentleman for her. ”

"Ah Mei also said during her illness that she had only made one painting in ten years, but today she has succeeded, and the painting can finally be seen, so I must send this silk painting to the general. ”

Huan Yu was convinced of Li Qilang's words, and there was not even a trace of surprise.

She's so smart, she always knows what to do, what she can do, and always just right.

A "Snowy Night Picture" depicts the scene of their first meeting: there is a wind and snow every night, there is no place to return, the lights are bright at night, and the wine and meat are fragrant.

Although Huan Yu doesn't know how to paint, he has seen a lot around Zheng Sui, and he can also see one or two, at least, this "Snowy Night Picture" is very rich in layout and scenery, but in the end, the mind and pen power are not enough, it seems thin and has no sense of thickness.

Danqing famous families are all from the family.

On the way of calligraphy and painting, family learning, talent, teachers, and diligence are all indispensable.

Even if she is given another ten years, it will be difficult for her to catch up with Zheng Sui's pen practice when she was ten years old.

In an uproar, Huan Yu put together the silk paintings in his hand, placed them on a few sides, and asked Li Qilang, "What are her last words?"

"Ah Mei sighed before she died: Shiro looked like a general when he was young, and he didn't know what he was like now, but he hated that he didn't have a chance to see him in this life. ”

"That's it?"

Seeing Huan Yu's questioning words, as if he didn't believe it, Li Qilang was silent, tied his hands, and replied stubbornly: "Just this sentence." ”

"Okay, I'll take the silk paintings, you go down and rest for the night, and leave Luling tomorrow morning. ”

Hearing this, Li Qilang was shocked, raised his head slightly, and quickly glanced at Huan Yu, who was kneeling on the couch, with a gloomy expression

, I couldn't see the slightest emotion, and suddenly, a heart couldn't stop sinking.

This is different from what my sister originally said.

It doesn't even match what their family had guessed.

It shouldn't be like this.

My sister has been smart since she was a child and rarely makes mistakes.

If he returned to Xuzhou alone like this, even if he brought the fifty taels of gold rewarded by Mrs. Zheng, it would be difficult to fill the desire of the fifth brother, not to mention, everyone had other expectations.

Since the death of the eldest brother, the Li family has not been separated because of the presence of a younger sister, and the family has a hope.

Now that his sister is gone, the connection with the Huan family is equivalent to being broken, Shilang Huan Du was raised in the Zheng family, and he has never been to the Li family for a day, how much affection can he expect him to have for the Li family?

Could it be that the hope of the Li family is destined to fail.

The eldest brother changed from a layman who did not enter the class to a seven-grade official, and the Li family was promoted from a small landlord to a rich man.

Many things have changed.
