Chapter 924: Chongyang (2)
Qin Tongju just arrived in Liaodong Mansion this year to take office, and brought his wife, two sons, and a daughter and other family members with him. Today, the Shen Mansion invited guests, Qin Tongju and his wife were invited, and Mrs. Qin also brought her eldest daughter Qin Ruojuan to the banquet.
Lian Man'er had a relationship with Mrs. Qin and Qin Ruojuan, and it was still at the banquet where the Lian family invited guests. Because the Qin family had just arrived, the two families had not interacted before. It was Qin Tong who handed over the post to the house in Songshu Hutong and sent a congratulatory gift, congratulating Wulang on being admitted to Juren and Xiaoqi on being admitted to Xiucai. Only then did Lian Man'er's family learn that this Qin Tongju and Mr. Lu were old friends, and it was precisely for this reason that they handed over posts and congratulatory gifts.
Since it is Mr. Lu's old friend, Lian Man'er's family naturally refuses to slack off, not to mention, if it is about official positions, the general judgment of Liupin is higher than that of Lian Shouxin's official rank, and it is also a real position appointed by the imperial court and holding real power. Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi personally went to visit this Qin Tongju, and gave the Double Ninth Festival gift, and of course invited Qin Tongju's family to come to Songshu Hutong for a banquet.
The two families got to know each other, but on the day Mrs. Qin came to the banquet, she left early because of some things, so she didn't have a good talk with Zhang and Lian Man'er.
Anyway, even if you look at Mr. Lu's face, Qin Tongju's family will definitely make friends. Therefore, after hearing Mrs. Qin say something like that at the banquet today, Lian Man'er took the opportunity to invite Mrs. Qin to her house again.
After talking to Mrs. Qin, Lian Man'er smiled at Qin Ruojuan. Qin Ruojuan immediately smiled in return, and spoke to Lian Man'er first. The two girls began to talk in a low voice.
Although Qin Tong's family is new to the family, Lian Man'er has already learned something about the Qin family's situation from Shen Yi and Shen Shi. Qin Ruojuan is the eldest daughter of Qin Tongju. He is seventeen years old this year, and he has not yet decided on a marriage.
Regarding Wulang's marriage, Lian Man'er is not much less concerned than Zhang's. Therefore, I heard about this situation from Shen Yi and Shen Shi at the beginning. Lian Man'er paid attention. Regardless of anything else, just look at age, family background, and being the eldest daughter, which is still more suitable for Goro. Lian Man'er secretly. Qin Ruojuan was regarded as one of the candidates to be investigated.
Lian Man'er looked at Qin Ruojuan while talking to her. Qin Ruojuan's long face is like a full moon, apricot eyes, willow eyebrows, and her skin is quite fair, which can be regarded as a standard beauty billet in this era. Just look closely, there are a few freckles on the cheeks. In the young girl's house, these freckles did not affect her beauty, but made her a little more youthful and lovely.
Lian Man'er and Qin Ruojuan spoke, and the two of them spoke official dialect. Qin Ruojuan's voice was very good. It's soft. The ancestral home of the Qin family is Hejian Province. However, I couldn't hear Qin Ruojuan's speech with any Hejian Mansion accent.
"Listen to Sister Ruojuan. It's the accent of the capital, I don't know how many years I've lived in the capital? Lian Man'er asked Qin Ruojuan with a smile.
“…… I lived there for three years as a child. Qin Ruojuan said, it turned out that she had followed her parents since she was a child. Qin Tongju served as an official in the capital for several years when she was a child, and later let go of several foreign appointments. Therefore, Qin Ruojuan spoke an authentic official dialect with a slight Beijing accent.
The officials and eunuchs in the city socialize, and they generally speak official dialect, but some have a slight accent unique to Liaodong Mansion. Listening carefully to the wives, grandmothers, and girls during this banquet, even Man'er can hear which people are from Liaodong Mansion and which ones are from other places in Liaodong Mansion. Of course, there are also some people from other places who have been here for a long time, and they gradually speak with the local accent of Liaodong Mansion.
"That's right! Sister Ruojuan must have seen a lot of different things, which is really enviable. Lian Man'er said, "When will you invite my sister to my house, talk to me well, and let me open my eyes." ”
Qin Ruojuan smiled and said a few words modestly, and then agreed to go to see Lian Man'er, and invited Lian Man'er to sit at her house when she was free, and Lian Man'er naturally agreed.
"Listening to Sister Ruojuan, she must have read a lot of books, right?" The more the two of them talked, the more speculative they became, and Lian Man'er asked again.
Qin Ruojuan nodded.
"In our clan, it is naturally important for boys to study, and girls also need to study a few times." Qin Ruojuan told Lian Man'er that she had been reading with Mrs. Qin since she was a child, and later went to the women's school in the clan.
Lian Man'er asked carefully, and found that Qin Ruojuan's reading was very bad.
"What books did Sister Man'er read?" Qin Ruojuan asked Lian Man'er.
"I don't dare to compare with my sister." Lian Man'er smiled and said, "My brother and younger brother followed Mr. Lu to study, and I followed the borrowing light, and I also read a few books casually." …… I'll have to ask my sister for advice in the future. ”
"Don't dare, Mr. Lu is famous all over the world, and Sister Man'er can be taught by Mr. Lu, which is naturally extraordinary." Qin Ruojuan told Lian Man'er again, "...... My father and Mr. Lu are Jinshi in the same department, and the person I respect the most is Mr. Lu. ”
While the two were talking, Grandma Shen San had already ordered someone to put the table on the table, and the outstanding singers on the stage outside had also appeared on the stage. Lian Man'er and Qin Ruojuan stopped.
The banquet is over, and someone offers tea and fruit, and the big guy is still sitting and watching the play. Some of them went out from the pavilion in groups and went to the flower garden next to them to look at the flowers. Lian Man'er said to Zhang, and Qin Ruojuan, Shen Yi, and Shen Shi also came out of the Xuanzhong and slowly walked to the chrysanthemum garden to see the chrysanthemums.
They are all young girls, and after seeing the flowers, they don't want to go back to sit in the Xuanzhong, because there are Shen Yi and Shen Shi from the master's family, so they simply follow the road in the garden and play slowly all the way.
Suddenly I came to a moon door, and I heard footsteps coming from the other side of the door, getting closer and closer, mixed with the voice of a man.
Lian Man'er stopped in the middle of a few people. A pair of eyes glanced quickly to the side of the door. Listen to the voice, it's a few people. Those few people, naturally, haven't walked to the door yet. It's just that the voice that spoke made Lian Man'er's heart beat half a beat faster.
Among several people, there is clearly Shen Liu, and in addition, there is Goro.
Thinking that the banquet over there was also withdrawn, Shen Liu also left the table with people to visit the garden.
Lian Man'er heard the sound of people talking and stopped, as did several other girls, and everyone looked at Shen Yi and Shen Shi. Shen Yi and Shen Yi were also busy looking left and right, trying to find a place to avoid for the time being. As it happens, there's nothing to avoid nearby. Shen Yi and Shen Shi exchanged a look, and were about to send the girl who followed him, when he saw that two little girls had walked out of the moon gate quickly.
“…… Sure enough, it was Miss Nine and Miss Ten. The two little girls were busy as they spoke, saluting Shen Yi, Shen Shi, Lian Man'er and others, "...... The sixth master and a few guests are going to the hall from here, and ask a few girls to wait. ”
After the little girl finished speaking, she saluted again, and then quickly retreated. At this time, I heard the footsteps on the other side of the moon gate also stopped, and the sound of talking also stopped. After a while, a few girls flew over and blocked the two screens in front of Lian Man'er and a few others.
A little girl went over to report, and then, I heard Shen Liu say hello, and then footsteps sounded, it was Shen Liu and others who walked over from the moon gate and passed in front of the screen.
Together with Shen Yi and Shen Shi, even Man'er and several girls stood behind the screen. Shen Yi and Shen Shi greeted Shen Liu through the screen, and bowed their knees. Even the Man'er were blessed to the side of the screen.
"No courtesy." Shen Liu's footsteps paused slightly, and a cold voice sounded on the other side of the screen, and then he walked away into the distance.
Even so, even Man'er still held his breath, looking to the other side, not daring to look in the direction of the screen. The few people brought by Shen Liu over there also knew that there were female dependents here, but they were silent.
Suddenly, I heard a coquettish call, followed by the thud of the screen falling to the ground. Lian Man'er didn't know what was going on, and when she heard a thud, she felt her waist be bumped, and she stumbled and fell to the screen.
Although I still don't know what happened, there is one thing that Lian Man'er understands. She was afraid that she was going to fall on the screen now, and besides, Shen Liu and the others hadn't gone far, and her first reaction when she heard the voice was bound to turn her head to look. …… In that case, she would be embarrassed in front of Shen Liu and the others.
Knowing this in his heart, Lian Man'er tried his best to stop his feet when he was busy, and his body reacted naturally, and his hands grabbed to both sides. In a panic, the left hand seemed to grasp something, but it was thrown away, and the right hand was tightly grasped by the other hand.
With the strength of this hand, and relying on the dexterity of his body, Lian Man'er finally stood firm after staggering two steps with another person.
At this time, Lian Man'er didn't bother to look at Shen Liu and the others on the side of the screen, but looked to the left. The girls were all disgraced, and they were all reaching out to her. Lian Man'er looked to the right again, grabbed her hand, and the person who helped her was Qin Ruojuan.
"Thank you Sister Ruojuan," Lian Man'er smiled in horror, holding Qin Ruojuan's hand with both hands, "Just now I heard a flutter, which startled me, I don't know what's going on, and I don't know which sister is more scared than me, bumped into me, and almost dragged my sister." ”
"Where did my sister say?" Qin Ruojuan also smiled, "Just now we were standing together holding hands, and I also heard a flutter over there, I don't know what's wrong." ”
As they said this, they both raised their eyes and looked in the direction of the screen. I saw the screen fall to the ground, and not far away, Shen Liu and five people were turning their heads to look.
Lian Man'er's gaze paused slightly on Shen Liu's face, and then immediately turned away, quickly sweeping over the faces of several other people, and his heart was immediately at ease.
Wulang, Xiaoqi, Shen Qian, as well as Mr. Chu and Zhang Qianhu.
They are all familiar to themselves, but even so, Lian Man'er and Qin Ruojuan took two steps back and lowered their heads slightly. Several other girls also moved, and even out of the corner of Man'er's eyes, they saw a pretty figure standing in front of everyone.
