Chapter 431: Elbowing
The pair of concubines in Cui's long room often go in and out together, and they are filial piety in front of their mother-in-law and the old lady, and their relationship is so good that they mix oil in honey. In the eyes of the Cui family, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion is not like a brother and sister-in-law and a brother-in-law, but they are clearly a pair of sisters with different surnames, and they are close everywhere.
Chen Xinhua ordered someone to take the steamed cake in the hand of Mu Yixian, and then instructed someone to make a pot of flower and fruit tea mixed with milk, and the two of them went to sit on the kang hand in hand.
As the autumn grew, Chen Xinhua had already removed the pillow mat of jade silk in summer and replaced it with a dark green brocade embroidered chrysanthemum. The autumn-colored veil is loosely tied with dark green ribbons, which complement the dust-bearing of the same color.
A few pots of chrysanthemums are placed on a boxwood bent-legged silver flower stand by the window, and the golden, snow-white, lilac and turquoise flowers are as big as a disc.
Although there is an elegant and generous atmosphere everywhere, sticky and slender are used to the magnificence in their room, and then look at the chrysanthemum is not a precious variety, the more and more I feel that the girl in the old mansion looks simple in the main room.
I have always looked down on Chen Xinhua's simplicity and low-key in my heart, and Sticky Yixian only hindered the two aunts' thousands of instructions, Chen Rujun was in the limelight in the court, and if she couldn't be an enemy with Chen Xinhua, Sticky Yixian had to put down her body.
Murong Wei often has letters transferred from Yangzhou County Shoufu to Chen Xinhua, making it clear that she wants to support her cousin. Seeing that the high-spirited county guard lady in the past had to whisper in front of Chen Xinhua and be careful, there was only one forbearance in her heart.
At that moment, Sticky Yixian affectionately held Chen Xinhua's hand, and smiled with her: "My aunt sent fresh lotus root noodles there, thinking that Brother Duan loves to eat this bite, I specially made some to send them, and they are still hot." ”
The lotus root flour cake is beautiful and exquisite, which is very suitable for his son's taste, Chen Xinhua is not polite to Mu Yixian, and after thanking him, he ordered the maid to send a plate to Duange'er to satisfy his hunger.
Only then did he pour a cup of freshly brewed flower and fruit tea for Mu Yixian, Chen Xinhua covered his lips and smiled: "That's what Cao Cao said, Cao Cao will arrive." If my brother and sister don't come, I'm thinking about going to your place in the afternoon. ”
Sticky Yixian was ordered by her aunt to be good friends with Chen Xinhua, even if it was hypocritical, she had to pretend to be ten percent affectionate, and asked with a piece of lotus root flour cake: "Sister-in-law must be on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and if you have any orders, just say it." ”
The heat of the flower and fruit tea curled on Chen Xinhua's plump cheeks, and her eyes rose with real expectation, straightened up and said: "In two days, it will be the joy of Mr. Liu's sixtieth birthday in Lishan Academy, and the disciples under the sect will go back to celebrate his birthday." I haven't seen my second brother and sister-in-law for a long time, and I want to take this opportunity to go back. ”
Sticky Yixian heard the words of Lishan Academy, and her aunt's entrustment flashed frequently in front of her, and her ears were a little erected, refusing to miss a word. Her eyes were vague, but she asked incomprehensibly: "If my sister-in-law wants to be married to Huaizhou, and she knows that her mother-in-law is, why do you need to replace the old master?"
Lishan's discharge from the hospital is now also in the limelight, and the newly mentioned local officials have the qualifications of Lishan Academy, which has always been a big stone in the hearts of the Jiangyin Gang, and Sticky Yixian naturally cares.
I felt that Chen Xinhua's reason was far-fetched, and he was very energetic, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it, and he was good to ask for credit in front of the two uncles.
Chen Xinhua took a silver hollow spoon and dug up a piece of soft and glutinous lotus root flour cake and put it in his mouth, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, so he didn't hurry to take his index finger and nodded a little on his forehead: "When others talk, you are used to paying attention, don't you know the Mr. Liu I just said?"
Sticky Yixian drank Huaguo tea, and made a naughty smile with a pout: "What Mr. Yang, Mr. Liu, is an old master who teaches, how can he be the master of the old daughter of the Labor Pavilion? Sister-in-law, tell the truth, isn't there something important over there in Huaizhou?"
"Xiao Nizi has read too many dramas in the book, and she has to make trouble if she has nothing to do. No matter how well she concealed it, she couldn't hide the flickering look in her eyes, and Chen Xinhua didn't know what she meant.
She was half-truthful, glanced at Sticky Yixian, and gently stroked her arm with a handkerchief: "Mr. Liu is the uncle of my mother's sister-in-law, the champion of the first emperor for three years. After Zhishi closed the door, his father left people in Lishan Academy in the past. Now that he is living a whole life, how can I not be a junior?"
The sticky family is very good, but there are not many people who read, and the sticky Yixian is not as smart as the two aunts, and can remember the courtiers and famous Confucians of the past dynasties in their hearts, where do they know the allusions of the four great cultivators.
The first emperor reopened the imperial examination in three years, and the identity of the champion of the first imperial examination is naturally not trivial, and he has the friendship of in-laws, no wonder Chen Xinhua is willing to take the younger generation to celebrate his birthday as the eldest daughter of the old mansion.
Sticky Yixian's face turned red, and he forcibly concealed himself: "Sister-in-law smiled, and forgot Mrs. Chen's surname for a while." ”
Chen Xinhua didn't hold on to her pigtails, but her face added some redness, and her tone became twisted: "So, I want to ask my younger siblings to help with something, but I asked my younger siblings to cover it up in the house, and only the two of us know." ”
The mind of the sticky and slender is disproportionate to the appearance, and the sky has the posture of sinking fish and falling geese, but it is a straw bag with an embroidered pillow. Her dark eyes rolled around, but she couldn't connect Chen Xinhua's help with Mr. Liu's whole life in any way.
For fear of making jokes again, Sticky Yixian didn't ask anymore, just pretended to eat tea, anxiously waiting for Chen Xinhua to say something again. saw that Chen Xinhua smiled helplessly, held a brocade box, opened the lock with a click, took out a piece of paper from it, and handed it to Sticky Yixian.
Chen Xinhua sighed faintly and pushed the document forward: "If it weren't for the bad timing, I wouldn't have to be cheeky to open my mouth to my younger siblings." ”
According to the document handed over by Chen Xinhua, Sticky Yixian knew that it was a receipt from Huitong Bank, which clearly stated that three hundred and sixty taels of silver, with an interest of two cents per year, would be paid at four o'clock a year.
More and more I felt that my brain was not enough, and I said angrily: "Sister-in-law has something to say, it is a birthday and a document, and things that are not related to each other give me a headache." ”
Chen Xinhua still locked the documents carefully, and then said: "Don't hide it from my sister, a great Confucian like Mr. Liu is hard to find in the world, and even my father has heard his teachings." Now that the old man has a birthday, I must give a generous gift. It's also to blame that I shouldn't be greedy for a little profit from the Huitong Bank, which has made me more and more stretched out now. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xinhua blushed again, his demeanor was very different from his previous demeanor, and his words were vague.
It's just for a few taels of silver, this sticky is so slim that I can hear it clearly, and following Chen Xinhua's words, I carefully sorted out my thoughts, and I roughly understood what she meant.
