Chapter 43 The finches are startled, and the geese in the courtyard are scattered.
Wei Yan said: "My father blamed Xu Lang wrongly, I took the initiative to invite me, it wasn't Xu Lang who lured me out......"
"Shut up!" Wei Dongkang casually took out a bamboo slip from the bookshelf and threw it at Wei Yan without a head or face......
Xu Yuqin hurriedly rushed forward to block it, and the bamboo slip hit him on the chin, imprinting a blood mark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wei Yan exclaimed in surprise, took out the handkerchief, and wanted to wipe it for him......
Wei Dongkang stepped forward, grabbed Wei Yan's arm, and said angrily: "What kind of system!" You get out! β
Wei Yan looked at Xu Yuqin and refused to leave.
Xu Yuqin smiled and said, "Sister Yan, you go out first, I'm fine, you just have to rest assured." Let me talk to my father-in-law about it......"
"Who's your father-in-law!" Wei Dongkang said angrily, "It's in vain that you read the books of sages and sages so frivolously!" I regret that I have promised you my daughter! β
He pointed at Wei Yan and scolded: "Tell you to get out, still not leaving?" β
Wei Yan glanced at Xu Yuqin worriedly, and saw that he was secretly winking at him, so he turned back one step at a time.
The heavy rain gradually weakened, and the water droplets dripped under the corridor, and the roaring sound in the study gradually weakened, and later, even the four joys guarding the door could not hear the voices inside.
Wei Dongkang returned to the backyard, was furious, threw a booklet and a bunch of keys in front of Cui's family, and said, "Open the treasury and prepare a dowry for Yan Niang according to this list!" β
Cui Shi was surprised: "The wedding date is two years later, why are you so eager? β
Wei Dongkang snorted: "Settle these things earlier, so as not to panic in the future." You brought out a few clever people early to accompany Yan Niang to get married. β
Cui Shi hurriedly responded, thought about it, and asked Wei Jiang about his marriage: "...... said that he was the brother-in-law of Da Sima, I don't know when I will see him? β¦β¦β
Wei Dongkang said: "I have an idea about this, don't worry about it." You work harder, put Jiang Niang's dowry together. According to the precedent of marrying a daughter in the clan, five thousand taels of silver tickets are pressed into the box, two shops, two granges, and the location is not too good, and you can ......look at the rest."
Cui said: "Yes, the concubine will definitely be arranged." β
At this time, Ziyuan walked in with a basin of hot water, and when she saw Wei Dongkang at first glance, the smile on her face became very reluctant, and she pulled over the other big girl who was standing on the side, Hongxing, and stuffed the basin in her hand into her hand, and whispered: "I'll go and see if the water at the little lady's end is ready to ......",
Looking at the back of Aster quickly fleeing, Cui Shi frowned. This girl looks thoughtful, and for some reason, Wei Dongkang refused to accept it.
Wei Yan has been stuffy in the room for five or six days. Wei Dongkang gave a death order again, whether it was Wu Wenqian to invite him, or anyone who invited him to post a post, he was not allowed to go out.
A few days later, she said that she was unwell, and asked Cui Shi to find Dr. Qin for her to take the pulse, only to say that the pulse was soft and heavy, weak and slippery, but it was a lack of qi and blood, a disease of excessive worry, and she needed to recuperate.
Doctor Qin prescribed a pair of medicine to nourish the blood and calm the nerves, Ruyue handed over the hot tea, and said with a smile: "It is said that Doctor Qin is from Yangzhou?" It seems that I have been in the capital for many years, is there anyone else in the family? Doesn't Dr. Qin miss home? β
Doctor Qin said: "My wife and children have followed me to the capital, and there is no one else in the family, and it has been fifteen years in a blink ......of an eye."
Ruyue sighed: "It is said that Yangzhou has good scenery, Slender West Lake, Daming Temple, famous all over the world, I have been fascinated for a long time, I just hate not to have a chance to take a look." I'm afraid that Dr. Qin occasionally thinks of his homeland, and he is also very emotional, right? β
The pen in Dr. Qin's hand paused for a moment, raised his head, and sighed: "My hometown is only in a dream, and now my relatives are in Beijing, and I have long forgotten the past." Girl, the prescription of the young lady has been written, please take the medicine according to the prescription, and the villain will retire. β
Ruyue sent Doctor Qin away, turned around and walked back to the room, Wei Yan stood in front of the window, turned his head, Ruyue said: "Doctor Qin is just an ordinary doctor, why does Miss want me to try him?" β
Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "Ordinary doctor? My father was going to forbid me to go out, and he was able to diagnose me as sick and needed to recuperate. If it weren't for Xu Lang writing a letter saying that he sent someone to Yangzhou and heard that Aunt Qin's family had a brother who had escaped due to a diagnosis error that had killed someone, I wouldn't have thought of him! β
"But why does Miss want to check that Aunt Qin again?" Ruyue is puzzled, Miss has been very strange recently, Miss has always loved quiet, and she doesn't like to go out to meet people, but these days she frequently goes out to meet with Xu Gongzi, and she was punished by the master for this matter. Miss not only let herself keep an eye on the movements of Lian'er beside Aunt Cai, but also asked Ding Xiang to often go to chat with Xiaocui beside Aunt Qin, and now she is testing Doctor Qin...... What the hell is Miss trying to do?
"She's from Yangzhou......" Wei Yan muttered and looked out the window, "My little uncle went to Yangzhou and disappeared for no reason." My father has been to Yangzhou several times, and he has the most contact with the Qin Mansion, and I can't help but doubt it......"
She turned her head and instructed Ruyue: "It's not easy for me to get out of the house now, it's all up to you and Jinmo outside the garden to deliver the news for the two of us, you are careful in everything, don't let people find out." When did you and Jinmo set to send the message? β
"Today is a double day, and Jinmo will not come. We set a time for the day to deliver the message from the vine-covered wall in the back garden. β
"Okay, then we'll have to wait for tomorrow......"
When Xu Yuqin received the news brought back by Jinmo, it was already dark, and he immediately opened the incense note, and when he saw only the first two words, he showed a gentle smile.
"Xu Lang ......"
When she called him like this, the delicate and soft voice, the shy and playful expression, were still in front of her.
"Xu Lang saw the words like meeting, and the concubine prayed for Lang Jun to have everything smooth and healthy......"
He clutched the letter and was silent for a long time.
Jin Mo couldn't help but complain: "Childe, is Miss Wei going to ask you to do something troublesome again?" Recently, you have mobilized people to find out the news, and it seems that you have alarmed the prince, and the prince of the world called the villain over last time and asked what you are doing......"
Xu Yuqin raised his face and said unhappily: "Miss Wei is also something you can arrange?" β
Jinmo said with a hippie smile: "Naturally not, how dare the little one arrange the little one for the hostess, the second grandmother in the future?" It's just that these days, you not only have to be busy with the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, but also have to run around to inquire about the things that Miss Wei explained. β
Hearing him call Wei Yan the "second grandmother", Xu Yuqin couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are loyal!" β
"If she doesn't come to me for something, but asks for others, then I'm too useless. Jinmo, you are used to being casual in front of me, in front of her, you can't do this. Xu Yuqin's words were extremely gentle, but his eyes were sharp, which made Jinmo shudder, and hurriedly responded.
Jin Mo said: "Don't disturb the second master to read the letter, the little one is waiting outside, and the second master will call me if there is something." As he spoke, he opened the door, and a boy in white in the courtyard saluted him and said, "Brother Jinmo, the prince invites the second master to go to the East Chamber." β
Xu Yuqin came to the study in the east wing, and the boy in white opened the door for him, bypassed a rui beast carved from pineapple wood, and walked through three or four rows of bookcases, only to see a man sitting on the kang with a dignified face.
Xu Yuqin called "big brother".
Xu Yuzhao, the prince of Jingyang, pointed to the black lacquered chair at his head, "You sit." β
Xu Yuqin sat down and asked, "Is there something wrong with the eldest brother looking for the younger brother?" β
Xu Yuzhao raised his hand and said, "You taste it, what is new this year is the kind of tea you like to drink." β
Xu Yuqin picked up the steaming teacup on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Is it Junshan Silver Needle?" The gold-inlaid jade dust heart goes, and the Sichuan Dongting has a good month...... The tea is clear and high, the taste is mellow and sweet, and it is indeed the love of the younger brother. β
"If love is too much, it is inevitable that it will be biased." Xu Yuzhao held the lid in his hand and said quietly, "You have a calm temperament, among the brothers in the family, you read the most, you have always been filial and kind, grandfather, father and I have no worries about you." β
"The eldest brother wants to say something, but please speak up, and the younger brother listens to him." Xu Yuqin knew that he wanted to admonish, put down the teacup in his hand, and stood up.
"You went out to study, you saw a lot, and you returned with honors. After returning to the capital, he went to the examination and obtained the Jinshi background, and was promoted to the editor of the Hanlin Academy. You have always been diligent and hardworking, not arrogant or impatient, nothing can stump you, why...... Why ...... Can't pass the women's level? Xu Yuzhao was heartbroken, and he couldn't think about the words for a while.
Xu Yuqin said with a straight face: "The eldest brother wants to talk about the younger brother and Miss Wei?" β
Xu Yuzhao sighed and said, "I heard my grandfather say, you asked for the wedding date to be advanced?" You're not one of those anxious people, I can't figure out why you did such a stupid thing! β
"Big brother!" Xu Yuqin lowered his head in shame, "The younger brother knows that the eldest brother is right." It's the younger brother who is wrong. The younger brother has nothing to say. β
"Yuqin! It's not that the eldest brother wants to embarrass you, that day you have already recognized Wei as your fiancΓ©e in front of the saint, a big mistake has been made, there is nothing to do, grandfather can't see you deceive the king and die, so he can only admit it hard! Xu Yuzhao's voice carried a hint of heaviness, "In the past, you were dedicated to learning, and you didn't want you to be like me, carrying that heavy and unbearable burden on your shoulders, so you never let you know about the affairs of your family!" Now, for that Wei woman, you are out of ground and out of reason, my brother, I can't watch you go wrong and not pull you along! β
"The marriage with the Wei family is just a pretext to save your life! Wei won't marry in, and you definitely can't marry her! β
Xu Yuqin exclaimed: "Big brother, what are you talking about?" The younger brother and Miss Wei are in love, and they have made a marriage contract in front of the saint, and this family matter has been approved by my grandfather, but why are you, why don't you allow me to marry her? β
"Idiot, idiot!" Xu Yuzhao said bitterly, "Anyway, sooner or later, it will make you sad, the long pain is better than the short pain, rather than you really can't let her tell you the truth at that time, it is better to tell you now, so as not to let you continue to sink into the mud and bury yourself, our entire Guogong Mansion!" β
