It is possible that his mother, Mei, was poisoned to death, and this inference made Jiang Li's mood extremely heavy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A sleepless night. Thinking that this matter might also involve people in his own family, for fear of alarming the murderer, he couldn't search everywhere with great fanfare, Jiang Li had no choice but to let Xiaoxiang secretly go up and down the mansion, and the focus was still on the study up and down the mansion.
After making such a fuss, Jiang Li was in a bad mood, and he didn't care about any rules and regulations, and he didn't tell his grandmother in advance this morning, and he didn't know the grandmother, so he asked the little girl to go straight to the stable to ask for a carriage and horses, and took the pothos to the silk shop to discuss with the shopkeeper Ge.
Stopping in front of the silk shop in the dozen or so wide-door frontage rooms, the green pothos helped Jiang Li to get out of the car.
There is no wind and no rain, there is still a trace of clouds in the sky, and in two days it will be the most lively festival of the year in the Yuan RB Dynasty. People in all kinds of clothes come and go on the street, bustling and rubbing shoulders, purchasing goods under the festival, a busy and noisy scene.
The silk shop was full of people, and a room full of guys were busy. Jiang Li and the two did not alarm the guys, and the green pothos led them into the inner hall through the back door.
There were also two luxurious carriages parked at the back door.
There are also guests in the inner hall today, the maid and servant woman surrounded a middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties and sat in the hall.
Seeing Jiang Li come in, several people in the room stopped talking, turned their heads in unison, and more than a dozen eyes staggered back and forth.
Jiang Li did not dodge, his eyes hurriedly swept over these faces, the middle-aged woman was in her forties, she had a big disc face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, her yellowish skin was shining, she was wearing a new pear flower skirt with a blue background, her upper body was wearing a colorful brocade armor, her fingers were wearing gold rings, and her wrists were a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water color, the whole person looked graceful and luxurious, and her eyes looked at Jiang Li's eyes with the depth of old sophistication and a trace of imperceptible surprise;
The two offspring on the right are about 20 years old, not only of similar age, but also have a similar temperament and demeanor, and they all use wooden hairpins to tie their hair in a bun. One was dressed in a lake-blue scholar's robe with the same pattern, looking amiable; One was wearing a light gray Ruiyun robe with pine blue inlaid clouds, with a dull face.
The group looked at Jiang Li's eyes glowing, as if they were dazzled by the gem in their eyes.
Jiang Li is dressed in a plum red Yuntao skirt, the moon white embroidered fox fur is more than a nail, a black moon bun is pulled on his head at will, a golden phoenix hairpin, plain face to the sky, more and more pink and clear, a face like a flower reflecting water, like jade fragrance. I saw that her money was like the wind supporting the willows, and her bright eyes were cold and glamorous.
The pothos was dressed in a green dress, holding Jiang Li's feather yarn in her hand, and lowered her head, like a shallow shadow and followed Jiang Li in.
"Nine girls?" Shopkeeper Ge got up, and his words were full of surprise, "Why did you come out at this time?" If you have something to tell someone to come and spread a word, why did you come in person! ”
"Jiang Li?!" The voices of two people in the room rang out at the same time, a man and a woman. The young blue-robed junior got up from his seat with a smile of relief on his face. The other sat motionless, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Li's master and servant, and lowered his eyes again.
Jiang Li was stunned, a man and a woman in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them for a while.
"Nine girls, come and come, it's better to meet by chance, I don't want to meet here today. This is your mother's good friend Mrs. Fan, the two families used to communicate often when you were young, and you must not have seen each other for a few years! Shopkeeper Ge looked at the stunned Jiang Li and played a round, and enthusiastically introduced them one by one: "These are the two sons of the Fan family, you should know each other!" ”
"Ha, Sicheng and Jiang Li are very close to each other, and they are reluctant to part every time they meet, that is a small affection, why haven't you known each other for a few years?" The middle-aged woman got up and said that she was born after pulling the blue coat, "This is Sicheng, do you still have an impression?" ”
Jiang Li suddenly realized that this was his mother's former friend, Meng Qiongyu, the wife of Fan Hanlin's family. Last time, the Xu family and Jiang An mentioned it, and it was this one who proposed marriage to the Jiang family. Jiang Lifu stepped forward to salute.
Meng Shi said to the man in the Songqing robe: "This is the boss Yan Cheng,"
Seeing that Fan Yancheng was motionless, Meng Shi frowned and bowed: "There should be a courtesy when you go out, and you won't say hello when you see someone!" ”
Hearing this, the man raised his head and glanced at Jiang Li, pulled out a sneer, and said hello.
Fan Sicheng was afraid that Jiang Li would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly played a round: "My eldest brother's temperament has always been like this, don't mind Sister Jiang Li." ”
Meng Shi sighed, barely concealed his helplessness, and continued to pull Jiang Li to reminisce: "No wonder, it's really the eighteen changes of women, and the same is true for men, seven or eight years have passed, if they meet elsewhere, how can they recognize who is who!" Mrs. Fan Meng covered her mouth with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were full of sincere joy.
Meng Shi mentioned the sad words of Jiang Li's mother's death and wiped away tears.
He walked over again and pulled Jiang Li's hand, smacking his lips, "What a pair of green and jade hands, at first glance, they are as dexterous as Mei Niang's hands," he said and looked carefully from head to foot, "What a flower and moon appearance, really more outstanding than Mei Niang when she was young・・・・・・"
Jiang Li smiled lightly, and was a little uncomfortable being praised by Mrs. Fan.
In her previous life, she had a personality like a child, she had always dressed neutrally, and she had never heard anyone say a beautiful word to herself, but over time she felt relaxed and natural. Even if she got this good skin after being reborn, she never regarded herself as a beautiful girl. Today, Meng Shi praised himself critically, and in front of so many people, if she changed someone else, she Jiang Li would be really annoyed.
Meng Shi regarded this anger as shyness, and became more and more affectionate. With a smile, he pulled Jiang Li to sit beside him, and said to the blue-robed Housheng who was still standing stupidly with his head to the side: "This is Brother Sicheng who ran all over the garden on your back when you were a child!" How? Now that I'm older, it's even more obvious! Look, there's nothing to say. ”
At this time, the three guys brought up the clothes ordered by the Fan family, and they turned out to be dozens of oily green silk robes, dozens of hats, and monk shoes and velvet socks.
Shopkeeper Ge took a robe and looked at it with his own hands, and then asked the guy to present it to Mrs. Fan Meng, Meng Shi saw it, and chattered to Shopkeeper Ge: "Our family came to Beijing in a hurry, and the tailors in the house couldn't make so many clothes for a while, so I am really grateful to you to put down the business next to you and make so many monk clothes for me!" ”
Shopkeeper Ge smiled humbly: "Mrs. Fan and my young lady are old friends, and now she is the wife of a second-grade court official, so it is really brilliant to be able to come to the shop." ”
The two of them were talking about the scene, and Fan Sicheng came over and said to Jiang Li: "How is my sister so good these years?" ”
"It's fine." Jiang Lihui.
"Sister Jiang Li, do you remember what we said in the Hanxiang Garden back then? I've always remembered it! Fan Sicheng's eyes were shining, his eyes were burning, and he could see that Jiang Li had goosebumps on his body.
