Chapter 159: Leisure
Sir, do you see this? ”
There are too many people in the Xing family who have sent the post these days, and Mrs. Xing's Ma has a headache, but although the Xing family is a family of military generals, it is also in line with the principle of being kind to others.
It's just that the Li family's worship post is really unclear to the Ma family, I don't know which Li family it is, and what is the relationship with my own family, there is really no way, I have to block the Xing Commander who has just returned from the yamen in the study.
Commander Xing is not a commander now, he has been promoted to the left squire of the military department, it is when the spring breeze is proud, his eldest son has also been promoted and has become the commander of the firearms battalion, this Xing family is the so-called glory, which is really enviable.
Xing Shilang's name is Xing Hu, he was originally a big boss, but now there has been no war at the border in recent years, he led the Royal Forest Army, stayed in the capital for a long time, and also learned the vassal elegance, and made a study for himself.
Xing Hu saw Ma Shi quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Madam is here." ”
As he spoke, he took the post and glanced at it, and laughed: "It's her, madam, I'll reply to the post, and you hurry up and send it to someone." ”
Ma Shi was taken aback, and was a little puzzled: "The old man who sent the greetings from others didn't accept it, why is he special to this Li family?" ”
Xing Hu laughed: "Madame, do you remember what I said about the incident in Sanxian Mountain?" ”
"Why don't you remember?" Speaking of the Sanxian Mountain incident, Ma gritted his teeth angrily: "The Lu family is too arrogant, and one day they will be made to look good." ”
Xing Hu Lama sat down: "At that time, I thought that I was afraid that I would have to confess, and I thought that I had not loved my wife enough, and the second child of our family did not marry a wife and have children, and I really regretted that when I was desperate, there was a person who fell from the sky ......"
"Then he beat the thief away in a few strokes, and captured the leader of the thief, saving the master's life." Ma's ears were callousing when he heard this, and he also smiled and added a few words at this time.
Xing Hu hurriedly nodded: "Yes, that's the case, the one who saved our group was the eldest lady of the Li family, and her sister-in-law is now the virtuous concubine, Mrs. said, the life-saving benefactor sent a prayer post, how can we not see it." ”
Ma Shi thought that this was indeed the case, so he smiled and said: "I should see it, I will ask someone to reply to the post, and invite people to come to the door tomorrow, speaking of which, it is very appropriate for us to visit the Li family, but the master is taking a shelf, waiting for someone to come to the door." ”
"Where do I have to take the shelf?" Xing Hu sighed: "When I returned to Beijing, I was afraid that the official family would look at me unpleasantly and want to belittle me, so I started to be a turtle with a shrunken head, no, the official family saw that I was honest, so I promoted my official and promoted the boss of our family......"
Ma understood in his heart, and said a few more words, Xing Hu wrote a reply, and Ma immediately sent someone to Li's house.
Speaking of which, Li Luan'er almost forgot to visit Xing's house, in the past few days, she has heard a lot of rumors, only saying that the official family values Xing Hu and promoted him to the left attendant of the military department, and then she thought of the visit to Xing's house mentioned to Yu Xi, so she personally wrote a post and sent it to Xing's mansion on Ansheng Street, she originally thought that this post was sent, Xing Hu didn't know if he would see her.
Where did I expect that the front foot only sent the post, and the Xing family came to the back foot, and took the reply from the Xing family, Li Luan'er laughed after a few glances, this Xing Hu is really a kind person, so long time has passed, and I haven't forgotten her, but I am worried about the love of the same hardship, and treat her Li family differently.
asked someone to reward the people of the Xing family, and made an appointment to go to Xing's mansion tomorrow, and Li Luan'er began to look for gifts to bring to the door.
Xing Hu is a big old man, although he is also literate, but he is not very familiar with poetry and books, too elegant things are not suitable for him, but it is a coincidence that the Gu family pawnshop only received a dead knife, Li Luaner saw that the love was not successful and bought it back, just gave it to Xing Hu, in addition, this Xing Hu is said to be a strict wife, and what he is most afraid of in his life is his wife Ma, Li Luaner plans to send Ma some ingenious things.
After rummaging through the cabinets, Li Luan'er found a thin and soft material woven by ice silk, and planned to give it to Ma's.
Sending such materials as Ma's is really because Li Luan'er asked people to inquire, saying that Ma's is a very heat-resistant person, and every summer will be tempered because he can't stand the heat, and the ice silk material is the most breathable and light, and it is a good material for making summer clothes, which is very suitable for Ma's.
Thinking that the Xing family also has two sons, the eldest Xing De is a rare good material for military generals like Xing Hu, and the second Xing Zhi loves to read and paint, Li Luan'er found a sword and a famous inkstone to put away, waiting to give it to the Xing family as a gift.
She had just cleaned up when she heard a hearty laugh outside the door: "Sister Li, what are you doing, you don't speak, I'm coming in." ”
As soon as she heard this voice, it was Gu Xin's, Li Luan'er also smiled, she liked Gu Xin's temperament, although there were some hardships, and now she has withdrawn from her family, but this girl did not feel sorry for herself at all, but became stronger and more cheerful, and fell in love with Li Luan'er, and when she came more, the two became best friends.
"If you want to go in, you can go in, and what do you do." Li Luan'er replied with a smile, and saw that the bamboo curtain was lifted, Gu Xin came in wearing a pink thin shirt, and she sat down on the chair with a fan in her hand: "It's really hot this day, Sister Li, what about your family's good tea, pour some and eat it with me." ”
Li Luan'er smiled and poured Gu Xin a cup of herbal tea and handed it over: "I know that you are still coming over when it is hot, didn't your mother detain you to learn needlework at home, why did you have to come here today." ”
Gu Xin smiled and drank a cup of tea before breathing a sigh of relief: "Don't mention it, my needlework is almost stuffy, so it's easy to look forward to an excuse to come over, and Sister Li can drive me away." ”
Speaking of this, Gu Xin put down the fan: "No, our family firm just sent some fruits from the south and some foreign goods, so I took the errand and said that I would send some to my sister, so my mother released me." ”
"What fruit?" Li Luan'er asked with a smile.
Gu Xin heard the spirit, and his hands quickly gestured: "There is such a big one, with a hard shell outside, and I don't know how to open it, my brother let people drill an eye, it is full of sweet juice, take ice to chill, it tastes good to drink, and there is such a big stinky thing with pimples, I said that it stinks far away on the road, but my brother said that it is chilled all the way, where it will stink, I don't know what it is, and the foreign goods, there is a big grandfather clock inside, and it will be reported every hour, but it's fun......"
Gu Xin smiled and introduced, Li Luan'er nodded when she heard it: "I recognize it, the shell is a coconut, the stinky one you said is a durian, and the one next to it is fine, I love this durian very much, if your family is unhappy to eat it, bring it to me." ”
After thinking for a while, Li Luan'er smiled again: "It just so happens that we also have ice at home, so I will take the ice and eat it slowly." ”
"Amitabha, if my sister loves to hurry up and tell my mother, tell her to give it to you, I can't stand it." When Gu Xin heard this, he was happy to worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures.
Li Luan'er nodded her head with a smile: "You ghost elf, your family business has spent an unknown amount of effort to transport the fruits of the southern country to the north, these are all good things that are hard to find, but it just so happens that you are so annoying, if I were Mrs. Gu, I would also cry." ”
As she spoke, Li Luan'er asked Rui Zhu to bring a coconut over, and Gu Xin blinked and looked: "Sister Li, you should get a drill to drill an eye, otherwise you won't be able to eat." ”
Li Luan'er shook her head with a smile: "No need. ”
As she spoke, she took her finger and pointed at the hard shell of the coconut, and soon, a finger-thick hole appeared, Li Luan'er took a white porcelain coarse-mouthed kettle, poured the juice in the coconut into the kettle, covered the lid again, and then put the kettle into the ice basin and calmed it, and brought a plate of ice skin dim sum to Gu Xin: "This is the dim sum that my brother made, I taste excellent, you eat." ”
"Brother Li made it, I want to taste it." Gu Xin smiled and picked up a piece and ate it slowly.
Li Luan'er sat down beside her and asked, "Have all the affairs of the Jun family been done?" ”
Gu Xin nodded: "I have already withdrawn the marriage, and the Jun family is happy to withdraw from the family, as if our family is stubborn against his family, speaking of which, if it weren't for my father and me to marry the Jun family early, how could I have grown so old and not engaged, when my father was alive, he could send a lot of good things to the Jun family. ”
"Don't bother with people like that." Li Luan'er waved her hand: "What are your plans in the future?" ”
"What else can I plan?" Gu Xin smiled self-deprecatingly: "My mother and I have thought about it, saying that it is now engagement, so I will find some big businessmen with me, and find the motivated children to get married, if I wait any longer, I will wait for my brother to be promoted in the examination, and when the time comes, I will find that poor and promising son to ask me to marry, my mother said that she would rather pay more dowry than let me be wronged." ”
Li Luan'er listened thoughtfully: "Your mother's meaning is good, but I think it's still a little inappropriate." ”
Gu Xin blinked and looked at Li Luan'er: "My mother also said that she wanted to ask what you mean, isn't this still a good idea." ”
Li Luan'er chuckled: "Although your family is a businessman, but in the end it has been inherited for so many years, to say a word of pride, the rules and etiquette of the family are not worse than those families, you have grown up in such a family since you were a child, if you go to a poor family, how can you endure it, that is, if the poor son is successful, how do you know that you will not lose you for higher power, you just look at our wife." ”
After saying this, Gu Xin's little face turned white: "I didn't expect this, but I thanked Sister Li for reminding me, and I will discuss it with my mother when I go back." ”
"Deserved." Li Luan'er nodded: "You are not too young, you know many things, this is a major event in your life, don't stop talking because you are shy, according to my meaning, for the sake of the future, you should let your mother and your brother know what you think." ”R1152
