Chapter 259: Recognition of People

As he spoke, Qiu Chen followed behind a group of ladies and ladies, and finally moved to the Linshui Heating Pavilion. This warm pavilion faces the water, the two-storey wooden building, the eaves and arches, magnificent, there is a plaque hanging under the eaves on the second floor, and the three words "Furong Pu" are written on it.

Qiu Chen is not bad at academic science, but after more than ten years of exam-taking education, she has also memorized a lot of ancient poems, and Zhou Bangyan's poem "Su Sha Mu" in the Northern Song Dynasty is homesick, the words are elegant and catchy, and she still knows the Tao. The title of this lakeside pavilion is 'Furong Pu', with a pot of blue lotus, but it is also very appropriate and elegant, but I don't know, this plaque is the title of the Yun Governor's Mansion or the title of the two Yun young masters!

When Qiu Chen saw this plaque, the ladies and ladies in front of him naturally noticed that a beautiful woman with a red embroidered cloak and dress raised her chin slightly and praised: "Xiao Ji Qingzhou, dream of entering Furong Pu...... The title here is 'Seremban', and it's really elegantly tight. This pen is clear and flowing, and it is really good! ”

The ladies and ladies next to them didn't care whether they understood it or not, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they naturally echoed and admired when they heard this.

Seeing that this group of people were standing at the door of the house and had to grind for a long time, Qiu Chen was really impatient, and was about to go around and enter the house directly, but he heard a sweet and crisp voice behind him: "It's the Yang family's sister in front?" ”

This voice sounded familiar, and it was asking 'Sister of the Yang Family', Qiu Chen couldn't help but look back, but saw a bright woman wearing a big red Dorodo cloak and a wide skirt with pomegranate red embroidered plum blossoms walking over quickly, it was actually the second young grandmother of the Guo family, the Jin family.

In such a completely unfamiliar situation, it is especially joyful to see someone you know, even if you are not familiar with it.

A smile bloomed on Qiu Chen's face, and he turned around and smiled in response: "It turned out to be the second young grandmother!" ”

looked behind the Jin family, but only saw the accompanying girl-in-law, and did not see the Guo family's eldest and youngest grandmother, Shi Shi, let alone the Guo family's wife Ning.

"Sister Begonia, do you want me to call Yang Shuren?" Jin said with joy and disgust, and had already walked quickly to Qiu Chen, and without waiting for Qiu Chen to answer, he smiled again, "If I don't think I'm too big, I hope that Sister Begonia will call me a second cousin!" ”

Having said that, if Qiu Chen didn't agree, he would inevitably be suspected of being despised by the seal.

Naturally smiling, Qiu Chen bent his knees and shouted, "My sister has seen my second cousin!" ”

The Jin family became more and more happy, bent his knees and returned the salute, stretched out his hand to hold Qiu Chen, and said with a smile: "You are not familiar with the lady over there, go, the second sister-in-law will lead you to recognize people!" ”

The ladies and ladies standing in front of the door of Furong Pu had already noticed Qiu Chen who was following them, but none of them knew each other, and they guessed in their hearts, but no one stepped forward to say hello. At this moment, Qiu Chen's identity made the second grandmother of the Guo family, Jin, say a word, and the expressions on the faces of those ladies and ladies who had just pretended to be deaf and dumb changed one after another, some were surprised, some were disdainful, some were probing, and some were picky...... All sorts of things.

Qiu Chen didn't care about such a complicated gaze ceremony, and just let the Jin family walk to the crowd with her and introduce her one by one: "This is the eldest lady of the Li family...... This is the eldest grandmother and third lady of the Shi family...... This is the eldest lady of the business, a famous talented woman in our Anyang Mansion, and her poetry and songs are all fine! ”

Jin pointed to the woman in red who had just tasted 'Furong Pu' and introduced.

Qiu Chen greeted them one by one with Jin's introduction, and according to the other party's attitude, he either bent his knees, or bowed his jaw, or smiled slightly...... When it came to the eldest lady of the business, Qiu Chen couldn't help but pay a little more attention. I just met the merchant's gentleman yesterday, and today I met the talented lady of the merchant, this family is really ...... It's all so eye-catching!

There is another reason for Qiu Chen's more attention, it is said that the eldest lady of the merchant once discussed marriage with Liao Wenqing, and the two families of Shang and Liao were very satisfied with this marriage, and the eldest lady of Shang is said to be very fond of Liao Wenqing, and even blocked Liao Wenqing in a restaurant for Liao Wenqing to question because Liao Wenqing did not agree to the family matter...... is also a hearty woman who dares to love and hate.

At the same time that Qiu Chen looked at Miss Shang, the other party was also looking at her, still with a slightly raised chin, a long neck, a beautiful goose egg face, delicate facial features and slightly raised phoenix eyes, all of which made this Miss Shang beautiful with obvious pride, a bit like a swan and a red-crowned crane as arrogant and elegant birds.

"Are you the lady of the Lin family in Anping County?" Miss Shang asked with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qiu Chen's eyes, but his face remained unchanged and he smiled and said, "My husband's family is indeed surnamed Lin!" ”

"Oh, it's really the lady of the Lin family...... I have long heard that you can single-handedly support the livelihood of the whole family, and can also argue medicine and medicine, I admired it, and then I heard that you actually entered Qinghe and Pi counties to treat epidemics for those people, and countless people lived, so I admired and admired you even more...... I don't know what kind of person Lu Dao has to be so sparse and atmospheric, and his spirit is not inferior to that of a man with eyebrows...... When I see it today, I really can't think of it...... You are so young and so weak...... Ay...... Look at me, I won't say anything when I see you...... Lin family lady, can I call you sister? ”

Miss Shang's arrogance just now was fleeting, and she instantly turned into a little girl who was three points innocent, three points refreshing, three points delicate, and said a lot of things...... This kind of look, somehow, reminded Qiu Chen of the way the little girl was talking and talking, and involuntarily, the smile on the corner of her mouth softened, and she nodded and said, "Then I'll call the eldest lady sister!" ”

"Sister Yang!" Miss Shang happily bent her knees to salute, took two steps forward, reached out to hold Qiu Chen's other arm, and said with a smile, "I'm with Sister Yang today!" ”

This kind of arrogance and brutality are removed, and only the closeness of the lively and agile little girl is left to make people refuse. Qiu Chen smiled, and had no choice but to be pulled by her, and entered Furong Pool with the Jin family.

Furong Pu is much bigger than Qiu Chen imagined, but it does not make people feel empty, when the door has a large freehand lotus screen, and there is a delicate and beautiful blue gauze cabinet next to it, so that the lobby on the first floor also becomes like the scenery in the garden, twists and turns, layer upon layer, fascinating.

Today's tables and chairs are scattered according to these partitions and screens, and in the inconspicuous corner of the house, a blooming camellia, or a late-blooming chrysanthemum, and a bonsai with a strange shape of the stump...... The finishing touch will be warm as spring, elegantly arranged warm pavilion suddenly vivid, delicate and elegant.

Qiu Chen walked all the way, looking at these arrangements, he couldn't help but nod his head secretly in admiration, and it could be seen that the person in charge of arranging this place must also be smart!

When the three of them entered the door, they saw that more than a dozen people had already arrived in the hall, sitting or standing and talking.

Seeing Qiu Chen and the three of them enter the door, a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old young woman greeted her with a smile, and Jin introduced in Qiu Chen's ear in a low voice: "This is Yun Da Young Grandma Su Wan'er." The lady in the autumn scented gown in the hall was the prefect's wife...... Hehe, look at me, now I shouldn't be called Mrs. Prefect, it should be Mrs. Bu Political Envoy! ”

Qiu Chen smiled slightly, and Grandma Yun's Su had already greeted her: "How did the second grandmother and Miss Shang come together?" Who is this? ”

Without waiting for the Jin family to speak, Miss Shang hurriedly said: "Grandma Su, let me introduce you, this is the sister of the Yang family who has just been awarded the title of Sanpin Lady in Anping County!" ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Yang Shuren, what a faux pas!" Grandma Yun said bent her knees.

Qiu Chen also bowed his knees back, and said with a smile: "The young grandmother is polite." ”

With the owner of the genuine brand, there should have been nothing to do with the Jin family and Miss Shang, but Miss Shang didn't seem to know anything at all, and said to Grandma Yun with a smile: "Sister Yang is the first to come back, I will take Sister Yang to recognize someone!" ”

Grandma Yun said with a smile: "With Miss Shang doing it for me, I just happened to take the opportunity to steal back lazy!" ”

Miss Shang smiled and pulled Qiu Chen and walked straight away, Qiu Chen only had time to nod slightly to apologize to the Yun family's grandmother and the Jin family, and was dragged involuntarily towards the people in the hall.

Naturally, I saw Mrs. Yun first, and Mrs. Yun greeted gently. Miss Shang separated two people, and pulled Qiu Chen straight to a middle-aged woman in her fifties with rich clothes, and said with a smile: "Aunt Gao, you see that I finally met the Lin family lady in Anping County, and she asked me to call her sister!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Chen inexplicably felt that something was not right, kept a smile on his face, and took advantage of the time of saluting to break his hand out of Miss Shang's arms, and stood with a smile and a smile.

In this Anyang Mansion, except for Yun Yizhou's wife, who has been promoted to the third grade, she can barely call Mrs., and no one else can call Mrs. Madame, and she can't follow Miss Shang's aunt, and she doesn't know the identity of this person, and it should be enough to call Mrs.

Qiu Chen was thinking about it, and Miss Shang had already snuggled up to Gao's side, and said with a smile: "Sister, I haven't introduced you yet, Aunt Gao is the head of the Liao family." Oh, it's the Liao family who opened the Rejuvenation Hall! ”

Slightly stunned, Qiu Chen was suddenly stunned.

The eldest lady of the merchant first talked to her about what sister she called, and then led her to Gao's face, showing such a very close and intimate appearance to Gao's...... Is this to announce to her that she is the third daughter-in-law of the Liao family, so that she will retreat in the face of difficulties?

Qiu Chen smiled slightly, and there was no other emotion after that accident, and he bent his knees lightly and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Gao!" ”

How to say, she is also a three-grade lady awarded by the imperial court, in the face of Gao's family, bending her knees to salute is just for Liao Wenqing's face, if Gao's is so subjected, it will be a serious unreasonable move.

In such a situation, Qiu Chen didn't expect to get an affectionate response from the Gao family, as long as the other party was in the way of her status as a third-grade lady, it was enough not to embarrass her. She had never expected a person who was extremely disgusted with her to make a big change as soon as she met.

Sure enough, Gao's face was very ugly, but he still didn't dare to sit and accept this salute - just now Yun Yizhou's wife got up and returned the half salute to Qiu Chen.

Standing up, Gao Shi pisted his head, reluctantly returned the salute, and sat back without looking at Qiu Chen or making a sound. Qiu Chen didn't stay here any longer, and was about to leave, when the Jin family and the Yun family's eldest and young grandmother Su came up at the same time, Su smiled and let the Jin family say: "Yang Shuren is the first time to enter our mansion, I must want to see the panoramic view of this garden, just so let's accompany Yang Shuren upstairs to have a look!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward with a smile and led Qiu Chen to the back of the blue yarn cupboard, and after leaving a few steps, he said to Qiu Chen and Jin with a low smile: "There is no one upstairs, let's go up and sit and have a cup of tea to hide for a while!" ”

Jin also smiled and whispered: "I know that you are ready, I walked here from the gate and my legs were already sore, just sit down and have a cup of tea!" ”

Along the stairs to the second floor, there is a huge double-sided embroidered lotus pond scenery in front of you, the blue lotus red lotus, kingfisher dragonfly, lifelike, as if suddenly approaching the grand scene of the summer lotus pond.

Bypassing this large screen, the huge hall did not add any partitions, it was bright and wide, and it was seen from the open floor-to-ceiling windows at a glance that it was a lake like blue, and the depression that had just accumulated in the chest also dissipated at once.

"In the summer, if you look at the lake from the window here, it must be beautiful!" Qiu Chen smiled and admired.

Jin said quickly: "Sister Begonia only knows that the lotus flowers are beautiful, but she doesn't know the Tao, and the autumn scenery of Furong Pool is also a must." On the shore of the lake in autumn, there are rare chrysanthemums in full bloom, there are lion hydrangeas, there are red agate, there are ten zhang hanging curtains, and there are willow moons in the West Lake...... Tut-tut, that's called a blossoming flower, it's really beautiful! ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth. In my mind, I remembered the chrysanthemums she and Liao Wenqing admired in the Liao Family Courtyard in Anping County last autumn......

She's been so busy all these days that she can't remember how long it's been since she's seen him...... One month? Two months?

Originally, the Gao family didn't want to see her, but after today's incident, maybe they disgusted her to the core. In the future, it is difficult to say whether she can continue to cooperate with the Liao family in business...... Alas!

The three of them laughed, Chen took the cloak that Qiu Chen took off, and Yue Gui took the wet handkerchief brought by the little girl and stepped forward, waiting for Qiu Chen to clean his hands. Jin was also waited by the little girl, went to the cloak and cleaned her hands.

Su Shi commanded his mother-in-law to carry the low couch to the window, and the three of them sat around the couch. The two large smokers under the window breathed warm steam, which made it impossible to feel the slightest chill even if the windows were wide open.

Eating refreshments, talking and laughing, chatting and gossiping, it was a rare time to relax.

The little girl came up to report and said that she was ready to serve the table.

Su Shi stretched out his hands and sighed, got up and put on his shoes. Qiu Chen and Jin also put on their shoes and tidied up their dresses, and wanted to follow downstairs together.

When he came downstairs again, Qiu Chen didn't even look at the Gao family and Miss Shang in the crowd, and was led by the Jin family to sit at the table between Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Wu, the wife of the new prefect Tang Governor. There was Mrs. Yun here, and the Su family naturally didn't have a place to sit down, but the Jin family accompanied the last seat and sat at a table with Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen's eyes turned, and he also understood the arrangement of this time, the table they sat at was the home of the eunuchs, and no matter how rich the Liao family and merchants were, they were all merchants, so they naturally couldn't make up for it.

Mrs. Wu is a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old woman, with a white face, facial features are not too good, but her temperament is extremely graceful, she sat next to Qiu Chen, and whispered gently: "I have long heard my lord mention Yang Shuren's righteous deeds, and even my lord always sighs that the lady's courage does not lose his eyebrows, this time I see it, it is such an elegant individual." ”

Qiu Chen chuckled and said, "Lord Tang sighed, it's just because I, a woman, can come out to do things...... It's just a 'grandeur' among women! ”

Mrs. Wu almost couldn't help laughing, endured the smile on her face, patted Qiu Chen's hand and said, "Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, it's not the kind of twisting and sticking." Another day, I'll write a post to you, and you also go to our house to talk, the big girl in my family has been thinking about seeing you, but unfortunately the wind blew before and I had a cough and can't go out today, I go back and say I see you, I don't know how to be annoyed! ”

Qiu Chen smiled and said seriously: "Don't worry, Mrs. Wu, I will definitely come to the door another day, so that the eldest lady can take a closer look." ”

"Well, well......" Mrs. Wu laughed again and again, and said in a low voice, "Did you bring a pair of children this time?" If you also enter the city, you will also bring them when you come, my two leather monkeys come from Beijing, shouting every day that there is no playmate, let them know each other a little, and they will often come and go in the future, and there is a naughty companion to play together! ”

Qiu Chen was very happy to say this, and when he said it, Fu'er Man'er also had some playmates in Liujiaao, and when he entered Anyang City, his eyes were black...... If you can get to know the children of the Tang Prefect's Mansion and play together, you can also let the children get in touch with everyone's children, not to mention having a playmate, it will also be good for the future!

The smile on his face deepened twice, and Qiu Chen smiled: "What Mrs. Wu said is very true, my two have nowhere to play when they enter the city, and they can't wilt every day." Since my wife said so, I'm not welcome, I'll go back and pay a visit! ”

Although there was a little unpleasantness before the meal, but in general, Qiu Chen's trip to Yunfu was pleasant, and the harvest was not small, he met the wife of the Yun family, the eldest and youngest grandmother, and also met the wife of the Tang prefect, Wu, the new Tongzhi Wu Yunqiao's family has not yet been picked up in his hometown, and he has not seen it today, but according to Wu Yunqiao's relationship, Qiu Chen does not have to worry too much about the relationship with the wife of the Wu family.

Surprisingly, the attitude of the official eunuchs towards her was generally tolerant and close, but the family members of those wealthy businessmen either faintly disdained her, or were too affectionate, so that she could not have a trace of intimacy and friendship.

After the luncheon, since it was an orchid appreciation, it was natural to bring a few pots of rare orchids. Qiu Chen didn't have much research on flowers and plants, but she had seen more modern heterogeneous orchids and gorgeous tropical orchids, and the few rare orchids brought by the Yun family seemed to her to be elegant and fragrant, and they were just good. As for how good it is, she really doesn't see it, and she can't understand it.

Miss Shang came back to the limelight, and quoted a few ancient poems in a row, which attracted a lot of echoing and applauding.

Mrs. Wu laughed in a low voice: "Lord Yun's family has really raised these orchids well......

Qiu Chen echoed with a smile: "What Mrs. said is that it is excellent!" ”

As they spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled, and chatted about their children's interesting stories.

An orchid appreciation party was dispersed before the end, Mrs. Wu had already become familiar with Qiu Chen, and the two of them and the Jin family resigned from Mrs. Yun and the eldest young grandmother, all the way out of the back garden, their carriage had been led to the second gate, the three of them said goodbye to each other, boarded their own carriage, and slowly drove out of the gate of the Yun family.

Chen said with a smile on his face: "Mrs. was always worried before, but there is nothing wrong with it today......

Qiu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, this scene today, if it weren't for the fact that he had just obtained a prestigious grade, he might not be able to do anything. also chatted with Wu, the wife of the Tang prefect, and it was quite a deed...... It's just that Qiu Chen always felt a little puzzled, and the Wu family's identity was obviously good for himself...... She never thought that she had any domineering spirit, and as soon as she appeared, she worshiped the difficult work of the blockbuster, which was not something she could do. So what is Mrs. Wu's actions for today?

Lin Xu had a good time in the front yard, looking at Qiu Chen's tired face, he couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, what troubles have you encountered?" ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyes, smiled, shook his head and said, "How can there be anything to worry about...... You know the sister-in-law, I don't like to join in this kind of excitement...... Okay, nothing went wrong, just go home and rest for a while, you don't have to worry! ”

It's a pity that the heavens didn't fulfill people's wishes, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu returned home, washed and changed into homely clothes, and before she could take a good rest, they reported from outside, and Liao Sangongzi came to visit.

Qiu Chen frowned slightly, took a cloak and wrapped himself, and took Chunxiang all the way to the front yard.

Lin Xu had already greeted Liao Wenqing into the small flower hall and took a seat, and Yuliang also brought hot tea up.

Qiu Chen stepped in, and when he saw Liao Wenqing sitting in the guest seat, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and blurted out, "What's wrong with you?" How do you lose weight like this? ”

Liao Wenqing subconsciously raised his hand and touched his cheek, got up with a wry smile, greeted Qiu Chen in, and sat down separately, Liao Wenqing said: "The second sister-in-law's little nephew had chickenpox and almost ...... in Linshui Town Well, fortunately, I brought Wu Langzhong over and infused the child with medicine, otherwise...... Alas. My mother felt sorry for her child, and she was frightened and anxious...... It's not, it's hard to get better before turning back. Because my little nephew was born with chickenpox, I never came...... Unexpectedly, my mother actually met you when she came back and went out for the first time. ”

Qiu Chen listened silently with a smile, and when he heard Liao Wenqing talk about his mother, he smiled slightly: "I didn't look very good when I saw Lingtang today, I thought it was because of the tiring journey back and not resting...... I can't believe so much has happened! ”

Lin Xu got up and said to Qiu Chen: "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the backyard to see Afu Aman!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded, and Lin Xu turned to Liao Wenqing.

As soon as Lin Xu went out, Liao Wenqing moved to Qiu Chen's nearest seat, and explained eagerly: "Don't worry, I definitely have nothing to do with the eldest lady of the merchant......

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes and took two sips of tea, and finally raised his head slowly, looked at Liao Wenqing and said lightly, "Why are you so worried?" Miss Shang didn't do anything out of the ordinary today! ”

Liao Wenqing's expression froze, and he looked at Qiu Chen's expression suspiciously...... It's a pity that Qiu Chen can't see how her eyes look when he lowers his eyes...... After a while, he was not sure: "Nothing really happened?" ”
