Chapter 39: Tillian as a matchmaker
That night, Tillian stayed in the Rongguo Mansion for a night, and went out with Xie Hengxu early the next morning, Xie Hengxu went straight out of the city to Gyeonggi Daying, and Tillian returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The carriage drove into the downtown area, listening to the shouting and noise on the street, Tillian stretched out her plain hand and lifted the corner of the window, and the simple and lively life was imprinted in her eyes, and she couldn't help but smile.
The moment his eyes were withdrawn, his hand paused, looked through the car window again, and saw a long and thin figure in Tsing Yi, the familiar side face was not Song Shengyue, who was it?
The moon's eyes narrowed slightly, and Tilian did not call the driver to stop, but quietly watched him come out of the famous Goolan street in the capital, and then lowered his eyelids and sat upright.
The carriage drove all the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when Di Lian got out of the car, she saw Liu Junchen waiting under the corridor of the open court, and when she saw her back, she stepped forward.
Before he could speak, Di Lian said indifferently, "Song Shengyue has made progress in his studies recently?" ”
When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back at once, Liu Junchen blinked when he heard the words, and looked puzzled, "Well, my subordinates have been busy recently, and I haven't taught Song Gongzi for a few days." ”
Seeing Di Lian's eyebrows lowered and slowly pacing, with a rare cold expression, Liu Junchen couldn't help but be suspicious a few times, followed her step by step, and said hesitantly, "Girl, but what happened?" ”
Turning the corner of the corridor, Di Lian said lightly, "Send someone to keep an eye on him to see where the reason for him to enter and leave the Goolan Courtyard is." ”
Liu Junchen was shocked, lowered his head in response, and then hurriedly brought up what he was about to say again, diverting Di Lian's thoughts, "In the past two days, my subordinates have followed Uncle Liang around all the Yun family shops in the capital, and Yun Hou sent someone to send the account books of these shops for a year to come over this morning, and his subordinates sent those account books to the girl's house. ”
Tillian nodded slightly, Yun Shili trusted her wholeheartedly, and this was done so that she could understand the various businesses under the Yun family's firm as soon as possible.
The two returned to the pine garden one after the other, and when they arrived at the west chamber, there was a little maid under the porch who cleverly opened the curtain, and the two entered the house one after another.
When Tillian looked up, she saw a child in a blue and white jacket sitting on the couch facing the door, white and beautiful, even with a ponytail, which made people mistake it for a female doll.
The child was sitting quietly, with an open book on his little knee, and only raised his head when he heard someone come in, and then his little face was pink and he stood up with a cramped expression, and hung his head and called.
"Chang An has seen the girl."
Her eyebrows moved slightly, the expression on Tilian's face softened, and she looked sideways at Liu Junchen with a shallow smile, but saw Liu Junchen's embarrassed and restrained face, and quickly explained to her gaze.
"My subordinates have been busy until late at night before they can return to the house, and they are worried that he will be alone, so they brought him into the house today, and they were originally sent to study with the little prince of Julin, but I don't know why."
Su Ri is the most eloquent person who talks about business, but this time he is talking upside down and stammering.
The moon eyes smiled, Di Lian stepped forward, stopped in front of Liu Chang'an, looked at him carefully with her eyes down, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen him for a year, Chang'an, you have grown a lot taller." ”
This child is Liu Junchen's only son, the weak child who had no mother in the swaddling clothes, after he could walk in the past, Liu Junchen had brought it out, most of the time it was brought to the house to play with Jiang Yi's eldest son Jiang Linglin, Jiang Linglin is the only grandchild in the prime minister's mansion today, because he is a concubine who can't teach with Jiang Ge in the 'Xuanbo Hall' in the house, so he also takes classes in the only private school in the capital.
Since Liu Junchen sent him to a private school in the south of the city early last year, Di Lian has never seen this child again.
This child is different from Xie Changzhen, although he is precocious and wise, he has a weak temperament, and he is shy and not good at speaking, but Tillian has always preferred this kind of well-behaved child like a white rabbit, Jiang Ge was like this when he first learned to speak, but later everyone in the house spoiled him, so he raised the young master's temperament.
Leaning over his shoulder, Tillian whispered, "Don't be formal, sit down, I'll see what I'm reading." ”
It seems that there is something about Tillian that is loved by children, at least these juniors around her love to be close to her.
Liu Changan sat back on the short couch obediently, held the book on his knee with both hands and handed it to Di Lian, a pair of clear and round apricot eyes were really lovely.
Tilian smiled gently, took the book and flipped through it, and said in a low judo, "Oh, where have you learned from "Hundred Family Names" now?" ”
Yingfen's small mouth pursed slightly, and Liu Changan replied softly, "Daddy has taught him, and he also taught Brother Lin'er in 'Liuzhai' Chang'an." ”
Children are a little comparative, especially Liu Junchen was a lecture on the seven products of the Hanlin Academy before, and Jiang Yi is now a lecture on the seven products of the Hanlin Academy, both of them are scholars, and the education of children should be made more breakthroughs, and it is understandable that Liu Changan and Jiang Linglin are compared.
Di Lian smiled lightly, and saw that the curtain was lifted, and Qinghu brought in with a plate of dim sum, and saw that Di Lian and Liu Junchen were there, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then stepped forward to put the dim sum on the small table next to the short couch, and smiled gently.
"Miss and Mr. Liu are back, just now someone came to Baifu, the young grandmother took Lin Xiaogongzi back to Baifu, so she sent someone to send Chang An over, the slave thought that Mr. Liu would come over, so she didn't send Chang An back."
Jiang Yi's wife, Bai, is the second aunt of Di Lian, although she is a concubine, she is indeed the only girl in the second room of the Bai family.
pinched a piece of dim sum and handed it to the well-behaved Liu Chang'an, who was silent and silent, Tilian smiled and nodded, "Auntie did the right thing, I haven't seen Chang'an for a long time, and I just want to see him." ”
Liu Junchen sighed lightly and bowed to Qinghuo, "I'm causing trouble to Aunt Qinghuo again." ”
Chang An didn't come to Songyuan many times, but every time it was Qingwei who came to take care of him, Liu Junchen was really ashamed.
Qingwei hurriedly waved his hand, "Sir, don't be polite, Chang An is very well-behaved and obedient, don't bother." ”
Tilian nodded beside her, "Yes, my aunt has even brought me up, wouldn't it be much easier to take Chang'an, so don't be polite to my aunt." ”
After she said this, Liu Junchen and Qinghuan glanced at each other, and they were a little embarrassed, Qinghuan hurriedly hung his head and retreated, leaving Liu Junchen standing in place and uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Tilian's eyes bent, "Chang An is also sensible now, so Mr. didn't think about continuing the strings and finding a caring person to take care of him?" After all, my husband often had to run for my business, and he snubbed this child, and Tillian was really uneasy. ”
The meaning of her words was clear, Liu Junchen was silent for a while, and said slowly for a moment, "Miss Lao bothered, but Qingwei is the person close to the girl, Junchen didn't dare to think about it, and insulted Aunt Qinghui." ”
With a slight smile, Tillian looked down at the well-behaved silent child who was eating plum blossom cake in small gulps around her, and sighed lightly, "Aunt takes Tillian with one hand, in Tillian's heart she is like a second mother, the most beautiful age of the woman is spent on me, the second half of her life has been my heart, I hope to find a good person for her to accompany her and not be alone in her old age, but also afraid that she will not live well if she leaves my sight, I have been thinking about it all these years, but I have not been able to find a satisfactory candidate." ”
Liu Junchen lowered his eyebrows and was silent, Di Lian raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a gentle smile, "Mr. has been doing things for me for some years, I trust Mr. in his conduct and conduct, of course, this matter still needs to be happy with each other, Di Lian will not be such an unreasonable person, Mr. can think about this matter slowly, whether it is successful or not depends on your fate with Aunt Qinghuo." If it doesn't work, it's okay, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet, and I don't want my husband and aunt to have a bad time. ”
With a shallow sigh, Liu Junchen raised his head and looked at Di Lian, and said in a low and gentle voice, "My subordinates have thanked the girl for her kindness, and this matter must be carefully considered, and then I will return to the girl." ”
Tillian smiled and nodded, "Okay." Yan looked at the child next to him and whispered, "Chang An, you sit here and read, if you are bored, go to the ear room next to you to find Aunt Qinghuo and ask her to take you to play, okay?" ”
Liu Changan raised his head, looked at her with big eyes and a clear eye, obedient jaws, and replied softly, "Chang'an knows." ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Tilian got up, and went to the desk in the arch with Liu Junchen to discuss the stack of account books on the table.
It wasn't until Qinghui came in to take charge of the lamp, and the two of them realized that it was already evening, and it was dark early in winter, and the candles in the house were lit before it became clear, and Tilian closed the account book and said, "I will come here today, and the rest will be discussed when Mr. comes over another day." ”
Liu Junchen bowed his head and bowed slightly, "The girl will have dinner after a while, and her subordinates will leave." ”
Tilian nodded in response, got up and walked to the outer hall, and saw a small gray mink fur bag bulging on the short couch.
Seeing this, Qinghu smiled and said, "The slave maid entered the house a few times, and when I saw him sleepy, I couldn't bear to wake him up. ”
Xu is movement woke him up, Chang An rubbed his eyes and sat up with a puzzled expression, muttering, "Girl, daddy." ”
Liu Junchen sighed and shook his head, leaned over and hugged him to the edge of the couch and sat down, squatted down and said softly and helplessly while putting on his shoes, "Didn't you say it, if you are bored from reading, you will go out to find Aunt Qingwei to play?" ”
Liu Changan sat obediently, pursed his lips and whispered when he heard the words, "Changan doesn't know when he fell asleep." ”
Seeing this, Tilian smiled and turned around and instructed Aunt Qinghu, "Aunt sent someone to inform Guisi to prepare a car and send Mr. and Chang An home." ”
Although Liu Junchen's house is in the back street of Xiangfu, it is better to be careful in such a cold day, Chang An is weak.
The green fence answered and turned to go.
Tilian bent down to pick up the gray and white mink fur on the couch, wrapped it around Chang An, and said in a low judo, "It's cold outside, Chang An is weak, don't shirk sir." ”
Liu Junchen pursed his lips when he heard this, and while holding Chang An's hand to stay, he said respectfully, "That subordinate will go beyond the rules, and I will send this mink back tomorrow." ”
Tilian shook her head helplessly, "It's just a fur, why should Mr. be so careful, it's all a gift from me to Chang An, so decided, if Mr. refuses again, it will be a raw matter." ”
Liu Junchen is now her left arm and right arm, his monthly salary is not less than twenty taels, and a mink fur can still be bought, such a prevarication is just an obstacle to the rules of the master and servant, Di Lian said this, he is naturally not stubborn.
After coming back in the middle of the morning, Liu Junchen took Chang An away, Chang An went to the bottom of the corridor, and bowed to Di Lian politely to thank him, "Thank you girl, thank you Aunt Qinghuo." ”
Seeing him so polite and cute, Tillian couldn't help but smile brightly, and said softly, "No thanks, go ahead." ”
Liu Junchen took him away at this time.
Turning back to the house, Tillian suddenly asked, "What does my aunt think of Mr. Liu?" ”
I didn't think she would ask such a question, Qingwei was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
But seeing that Tilian seemed to mention it casually, as if she forgot it in a blink of an eye, she urged her to prepare quickly, and to go to the main house to eat.
