In the afternoon, Jiang Ning replied: "...... The ancestors started in business, and the family background is solid, and now the old lady Zhao is in charge, who is very sleek, and is good friends with most large families in Jiyang County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThree years ago, after 30 years of hard work in reading poetry and books, the second master Zhao finally won a lift, and the Zhao family became a big family in Jiyang County. According to the vegetable seller who delivered vegetables to the Zhao family, Master Zhao was shrewd and capable, helping to take care of the family's industry, while Second Master Zhao was romantic, lingering in Flower Street and Willow Lane all day long, but because the Zhao family had such a scholar for several generations, Old Lady Zhao turned a blind eye and went with him......"

When she heard this, she sighed: "With this virtue, it's no wonder that after reading books for decades, I won a lift!" ”

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

In this context, the status of scholars is extremely high, and it can almost be said that it is a good thing for the ancestors to burn high incense, and it is not surprising that the Zhao family willingly offered the second master Zhao.

Li Wan smiled slightly: "You go on." ”

Jiang Ning continued: "Second Master Zhao is like this, and his son is not a good bird......

One sentence amused Chu Fang again, and she giggled: "Where did you hear this?" She didn't believe that his elm head could come up with the word "good bird."

"It was the greengrocer who said it." Jiang Ning said seriously, as if she didn't understand why she was laughing.

At this time, even Li Guan and Xun Fang couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Ning was unhappy, and frowned: "Miss Li, do you still want to listen to your subordinates?" ”

Li Wan hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "You say, you say." You two, don't laugh! The latter sentence is said to Chu Fang and Xun Fang.

Chu Fang and Xun Fang hurriedly held back their laughter and made a look of listening attentively.

Jiang Ning's face softened slightly, and said: "Second Master Zhao's son is Dumiao, ranking fifth in the family, and people outside call him Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu and his father are simply printed out of the same mold, one father and son spend all day drinking, and the other raises a little boy in Goolan Courtyard, so that Zhao Wu's mother is forced to become a resentful woman, and when she meets people, she will count down and say, "My family's dead old man who has been cut by a thousand knives" ......"

There was a sharp gap between his serious face and this kind of vulgar words, which inexplicably made people laugh, and Li Wan and the three couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jiang Ning's face turned completely black, stared at the three women who were smiling and trembling in front of him, turned his head and left.

"Oh, is Escort Jiang angry?" Li Guan said with a smile.

Chu Fang covered her sore stomach and said, "It's okay, wait a while for the slave to coax him, he is actually very easy to coax!" ”

"Okay, I'll see him later, I'll talk about it later, and there are things to trouble him to do later."

"The slave knows, don't worry."

The three of them laughed for a while before stopping, Xun Fang went to fetch water to serve Li Guan's face, and Chu Fang ran out to coax people.

After a while, she returned, smiling and making a "done" gesture to them.

Xun Fang asked Li Guan: "Miss, do you really plan to buy the Zhao family's house?" Their family is not short of money, and it is an ancestral home, so they are definitely not willing to sell it. ”

"Not necessarily. Judging from the news that Jiang Huwei heard, the Zhao family is just a golden jade outward, and they can raise people like Second Master Zhao and Zhao Wu, do you think they really care about things like the ancestral house? It's not a scholarly family that has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are only a few ancestral tablets, saying that it is an ancestral house, it is estimated that it is also bluffing, and it can't be true. Li Guan pondered, "Merchants are profitable, as long as the price is high enough, they will definitely sell." ”

Zhu Fang and Xun Fang couldn't help but nod.

Li Wan showed a sly smile: "The Zhou family must be watching our movements, Zhu Fang, you go and talk to Jiang Guard, let him leak the news, so that the Zhou family can know in time that we are inquiring about the affairs of the house." ”

She replied "yes" with a full sense of anger.

In the evening, Bai Weiwei came with her good sister Liu Hanlu.

Li Guan sent Xunfang to invite Shi Yue over, and he took Xunfang to entertain them in the hall.

When Shi Yue came over, Bai Weiwei was talking about the experience of going to Tianning Temple to make incense: "...... We sat at the front and listened to the master of Tianning Temple chanting and praying for blessings, and I also got two pieces of talisman paper drawn by the master himself, and lit two longevity lamps for my grandfather and grandmother in the treasure hall...... Hanlu knew the young lady of the county order, Miss Zhou and her mother also went to Tianning Temple, and we followed them to have these benefits, otherwise at most we could only see the excitement outside the prayer meeting, and put two incense sticks on the side hall......"

Seeing Shi Yue coming in, Li Wan hurriedly interrupted her: "That's thanks to Miss Liu." Then he beckoned, "Xiao Yue is here, come and sit down." ”

Bai Weiwei stopped talking and greeted Shi Yue with Liu Hanlu.

However, after everyone sat down again, she pulled the topic back again: "Hanlu knows a lot of people, and the ladies from those big families like to associate with her." Saying that, he glanced at Liu Hanlu with honor.

Liu Hanlu smiled modestly: "Those young ladies just read a few books I have read and can talk to them to relieve their boredom, so they just associate with me, and they don't like it." ”

"That also means that you read well!" Bai Weiwei said, "You are not the only girl who can read and hyphenate in Jiyang City, you can get the favor of those young ladies, you have the ability." Xiaoguan, do you think this is the reason? ”

Li Wan is now accustomed to Bai Weiwei's praise of Liu Hanlu, and nodded without changing his face: "What you said makes sense." ”

Bai Weiwei asked Liu Hanlu: "Hanlu, didn't you say that Miss Zhou was going to hold a banquet and a poetry meeting at home in two days, and she also gave you a post?" Why don't you talk to Miss Zhou, and invite Xiaoguan to go with you. Xiaoguan must be bored to stay alone in the post station. ”

As for Shi Yue, forget it, he is a boy, and it is not good to go to such an occasion.

Liu Hanlu was stunned when she heard this, and hesitated: "This ......"

Li Guancai didn't want to play with a group of little girls who were "worried about the new words", and said with a smile: "I don't know Miss Zhou and I, people invite their friends to go to the house to be lively, how good it is for everyone to chat and drink tea affectionately, isn't it embarrassing for me to be an outsider!" Don't embarrass Miss Liu! ”

Bai Weiwei had to say something, she hurriedly blocked her words: "Look at you, I know that I am very bored in the post station, you don't come to accompany me yourself, but push me to others, do you have such a friend?" ”

She said so, and Bai Weiwei had no choice but to compensate her: "It's me who is not good, I will come to see you often." ”

Li Guan nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Hanlu also showed a relieved smile.

Li Wan didn't want to continue to talk about this, so he asked Shi Yue: "We've been in Jiyang for several days, don't you feel bored when you hide in the house all day and don't come out?" (To be continued.) )
