Chapter Thirty-Seven: Joyful Meeting
Li Qingfeng arrived three days later, he was eighteen years old, with a long figure like a bamboo, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like peach blossoms, and beautiful like the crystal dew on the flower branches in the morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luo Shao still saw Li Qingfeng a few years ago, Li died of illness, Li Qingfeng went to Jiangxi with his father and brother to mourn, and Luo Shao was at the saddest time, and he was sad to see his wife's mother's family, and he didn't pay attention to this nephew at all, but in his memory, several nephews of the Li family looked good.
I didn't think that I hadn't seen him for a few years, Li Qingfeng had become like a pearl, and Luo Shao had a little more affection for this nephew.
Li Qingfeng came out of Yangzhou, and in the cart of things he brought, except for a box of white fan noodles and a few boxes of Longjing, the others were for Luo Jinyan.
"My mother must have let her bring it, and my father said that he didn't know whether he liked it or not, and it was better to give her the silver and let her buy whatever she wanted. My mother said don't guard the capital, but there are some things that I can't buy in the capital, just like our kraft candy and pickles in Yangzhou, even if they are sold in the capital, the taste is different from Yangzhou's. ”
It's like he made a special trip to deliver kraft candy and pickles.
But when the things on the car were moved down one by one, the maids and daughters of the Luo family were all speechless.
Just the set of twelve red lacquered rosewood inner tube carved makeup boxes inlaid with luodian inlaid with jadeite, mica and luminous snails is worth a lot, such a thing, not to mention a dowry, is for family heirlooms.
Luo Shao only glanced at it, and guessed that this was used by the Li family as a dowry, he was a little displeased, frowned slightly, and listened to Li Qingfeng say: " Within three generations of our family, only my aunt has a daughter, to my mother, and only four of our brothers, this set of makeup boxes has two sets, my mother saw it, I like it, I gave it to my sister-in-law, this set of flowers bloomed rich and noble let me bring it to the pity, the mother said to let her take it out and use it, and there is no need to keep it as a dowry, so as not to get the appearance of the time to dislike her. ”
He said it humorously and casually, not only explaining the origin of this set of makeup boxes, but also telling Luo Shao that the Li family did not mean to make a dowry for him on behalf of Xixi, which was just an object for Xixi, not a dowry.
Luo Shao couldn't help nodding, a little more comfortable, pondering Li Qingfeng's words, and felt that something was wrong.
But he didn't think much about it, Li Qingfeng also brought two rabbits, both of which were the size of a palm, and it was said that they were not big, so he didn't like it, so he ran over to show Luo Shao the cage with the rabbit.
Li Qingfeng said with a smile: "These two rabbits were brought by the fourth brother to me, but it is really difficult for me, along the way, my little brother took care of them more than I took care of them." ”
The words made everyone laugh, and an eight- or nine-year-old boy came over and told Luo Jinyan's maid how to raise rabbits.
Luo Shao set up a banquet in the flower hall to wash Li Qingfeng's dust, and invited Jiao Wei and Chen Zhen to accompany him.
Jiao Wei is a master of money and grain, who is good at general affairs, and has a very happy conversation with Li Qingfeng; although Chen Zhen is like an idle cloud and a wild crane, Li Qingfeng has traveled to the south and north in recent years, and has seen a lot, and when he talks about the customs and places of interest and historical sites in various places, Chen Zhen also has a good impression of him.
Since the return of Luo's father and daughter, it is rare for Zhuangzi to be so lively, Luo Jinyan is eight years old, although there are no outsiders, but she still eats at the small table through the screen.
Through the yellow rosewood screen, she heard Luo Shao's laughter from time to time, and the laughter was hearty and vibrant.
Daddy must be very lonely usually, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy to have a guest, he used to have a lot of trivial things when he was in office, and he was busy with nothing, but now he is free, except for occasionally talking to Master Jiao and Manager Lin about the housework, that is, playing a few games of chess with his daughter.
Daddy should have had someone around him who knew cold and hot, and could add fragrance to his red sleeves, but she was a daughter, so she couldn't go to everyone to find a matchmaker to say goodbye to her father.
Last time, there was a Ding Cui Lake, but she was as timid as a mouse, such a woman, not to mention going through the ups and downs with her father, she couldn't fix the maid and wife in Zhuangzi, and then she might have to be led by her sister and brother-in-law, of course she wouldn't be her father's beloved.
After dinner, everyone left the flower hall one after another, on the night of July, there were mosquitoes buzzing in the ears in the yard, Chang Gui's daughter-in-law walked while using a fan to bombard mosquitoes for Luo Jinyan, Li Qingfeng, who was saying goodbye to Luo Shao, hurriedly said a word to Luo Shao, and quickly chased after him, untied a small purse from his waist and handed it to Chang Gui's daughter-in-law.
"This is a mosquito repellent herb, no peculiar smell, but very effective, it is the recipe I got when I was in Fujian, you give it a pity to tie it to the body, tomorrow I will have people copy the recipe over." ”
Chang Gui's daughter-in-law hurriedly took it and tied it to Luo Jinyan's clothes, Luo Jinyan thanked her cousin with a smile, Li Qingfeng touched her head, and her smile was as bright as evening incense: "You're welcome to my brother, go back to sleep early." ”
Seeing Luo Jinyan walked into the night surrounded by the maid and the mother-in-law, Li Qingfeng took the little maid to the guest room for the time being.
The moonlight sprinkled on the stone steps, and Luo Shao looked at the scene just now, thoughtful.
Two sets of makeup boxes, full of Chijiao for the eldest daughter-in-law who has married into the door, and the rich for the young niece, look just right and complement each other, but Luo Shao always feels weird.
Li Qingfeng, the nephew, really amazed him, he did the things of a businessman, but he was not a little vulgar in his body, and he was born with a good appearance, and he was a character who could only be raised by the water and soil of Yangzhou in the spring breeze.
It's a pity that he has no fame, and he is much older than Xixi, if he is five or six years younger, even if he is a showman, it is a natural pair, let Xixi marry into his uncle's family, what is he not worried about, is not better than staying at home to recruit a son-in-law.
"Alas!" Luo Shao sighed deeply, God doesn't follow his wishes, where is he going to find one for Xixi, like the Li family, and with Li Qingfeng's appearance, he is more knowledgeable than Li Qingfeng, younger than Li Qingfeng, and will he pity the son-in-law he likes?
By the way, the Li family has four sons, Li Qingfeng also has two younger brothers, the youngest one is twelve years old this year, it is said to be a reading seed, last year Li Yi also repaired books to him, asked him if he had a way, and wanted to send his youngest son to the capital to study.
Luo Shao remembered the pair of rabbits, Li Qingfeng said that this pair of rabbits was given by his fourth brother to pity.
Could it be that the Li family sent this set of makeup boxes, and they also wanted Xi Xi to be his family's little daughter-in-law?
The more Luo Shao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and the next day he called Li Qingfeng over and asked about Li Qingyue, the Shilang of the Li family, and learned that Li Yi originally wanted Li Qingyue to go to the capital to study, but Li Qingyue was going to go down next year, so it was a great delay in his studies, so he let him stay in Yangzhou.
It sounds like Li Qingyue's fate seems to be quite certain, if he can get a reputation next year, then he is only thirteen years old, thirteen-year-old Xiucai, Luo Shao is in a happy mood.
Asked Li Qingyue again what he looked like, Li Qingfeng didn't know why, so he had to say: "Our four brothers look alike, although the fourth brother is young, he has already come to my ears, and in a few years, he should be taller than me." ”
Luo Shao was even more satisfied, so much so that a few days later, Luo Jinyan wanted to follow Li Qingfeng to the capital to play, and he also agreed, and he wanted to go out for the first time in half a year: "Daddy will go with you, your second cousin is busy talking about business, and Daddy will take you around." ”
Three days later, Luo Shao took Luo Jinyan, accompanied by Li Qingfeng, and left Changping for the capital.
