Chapter Ninety-Eight: Distinguished Guest (Ask for Pink!!) )

Song Ke was a little drowsy in the morning, only to feel that every word of Confucianism seemed to be blowing through his ears, and when he saw the stationery cover made by Xianglan, he felt as if he had a sharp knife stabbed in his heart, and then he was angry. Said secretly: "Chen Xianglan, why did you give me such a problem before the autumn season, so that I couldn't be clean for a while!" You are just a girl, why don't you want to be a concubine, you and I are very affectionate, and I am kind to you, you can't bear to leave me? What can you do if I don't let you out and keep you with me? But then he was discouraged, and secretly thought: "Yes, she has good looks and charm, not to mention her intelligence and cleverness, and she will be good at Danqing, how can she be willing to be a concubine for others with such talent and knowledge...... Even if I keep her, what can I do if she doesn't want to, hate each other every day, why don't we see each other again......"

Lin Jinting sat next to him and watched Song Ke glaring angrily for a while, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, and then he was mentally exhausted for a while, and his face was sad, so he kicked Song Ke and said in a low voice: "Yifei, what's wrong with you today?" Usually you are happy in class, both eyes can stare out of the hole, today you look like a frosted eggplant......" said and laughed evilly, "Could it be that it hurts lovesickness?" ”

Song Ke glared at Lin Jinting. At this time, the cloud board sounded, so he cleaned up the books and hastily said, "My body is a little uncomfortable today, and my head hurts, go back and lie down." ”

Lin Jinting hurriedly said: "Then let Doctor Luo go to check your pulse." Then he smiled and said, "If it's lovesickness, it's easy to treat, tell me which girl I'm from, and I'll find a matchmaker to propose to you." ”

Song Ke was not angry and said: "My illness cannot be cured by Luo Shen; This lovesickness can't be cured by your matchmaker. With that, he left.

Lin Jinting just said casually, he didn't believe who Song Ke really fell in love with, and muttered to himself: "I don't think he's sick, he took the wrong medicine today." ”

Song Ke ordered the little servant to lead the horse, and then rode home. But somehow, the ghost rode to the back street of the Song Mansion, came to the bottom of the attic where Xianglan lived, and looked up with his head up. I only saw that the small window in the attic was propped up with a stone lion, and the bamboo curtain of the Xiangfei was hung, swaying gently with the wind, but I didn't know what the people in the window were doing, whether they were painting or dressing, or doing needlework......

The little maid Mo looked at his master's face and thought secretly: "This is Miss Xianglan's home, could it be that the uncle misses the girl?" It's strange that the soul is not giving up every day. Then he said in a low voice: "Uncle, why don't you call the door and let Sister Xianglan come out?" It's been a few days since she's been home, so we're just going to pick her up. ”

Song Ke shook his head, although he wanted to see Xianglan, but he was in a disturbed mood at the moment, what would he say if he saw Xianglan? He sighed and said, "Go back." ”

didn't know that Xianglan was hiding behind the bamboo curtain of the small building, quietly looking at him. I saw that Song Ke was still as elegant as jade, staring at the window. Xianglan's heart was sour, but when she saw Song Ke leaving again, she sighed silently and slowly retreated.

Song Ke turned his horse's head and walked back, and when he saw a tall white-faced scholar walking towards him, he was not at ease. When he was about to reach the back door of the Song Mansion, he glanced back and saw the scholar knocking on the door of the Chen family!

Song Ke immediately reined in his horse.

Xue came out to answer the door, with a smile on his face, he was very familiar with the scholar, the two chattered, the scholar took out a bag of things and handed it to Xue, Xue refused to accept it at first, and finally accepted it after some shirk, and said two words of goodbye before closing the door.

But the scholar refused to leave, and stood downstairs with his hands in his hands and looked up, staring at it for a long time before turning around. was bumping into Song Ke's gaze, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

This scholar is naturally Xia Yun, he got a jar of good tea in the past two days, and sent it to Chen Wanquan, taking the opportunity to see Xianglan, who knew that the Xue family didn't even let him in, and he couldn't help but be depressed. When I turned around, I saw a boy riding on a horse, handsome and graceful, riding on a jujube red horse, followed by a small guy leading a horse, obviously from a rich family.

Xia Yun saw that the boy kept looking at him, his face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, but he saw that the boy suddenly turned the horse's head and left.

Song Ke turned back to the house and went to the door, turned over and dismounted, depressed in his heart, and even more irritable. He knew what he was thinking at a glance from the scholar's eyes, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe, and he wanted to ask Xianglan who the scholar was, how long she had known him, and whether she liked that person, so he wanted to leave him.

As he was hurrying inside, he saw a carriage parked in the courtyard, and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

Menzi originally wanted to pass it on, but when he saw that Song Ke came back, he looked angry, so he didn't dare to step forward, and when he saw him asking, he hurriedly said: "It's the relatives of the Xianguo family who came to be a guest, and the wife said that when you come back, I will go forward to say goodbye to the elders." ”

Song Ke nodded, returned to the room and changed into the clothes of the guests, wiped his face with a towel and prepared to meet the guests, not mentioning it for the time being.

In the house, Aunt Song and Duchess Wei were talking happily, and Aunt Song smiled and said, "We should have visited the house first, but let my sister come to me first." ”

Webster smiled: "It's all about beating around the bush, who will see who is different first?" We also went back to the ancestral house to take a look, I didn't know anyone in Jinling, last time we fell in love at first sight in the Lin family, especially these two girls also played well, so they should move around more. ”

Aunt Song smiled: "This is natural. ”

Wei Shi said: "Eleven or twelve years ago, when we were in the capital, our two families also often walked around, at that time, Master Song was our master's guest, and he also brought the little boy to play at home. It's really a good handwriting. ”

Aunt Song said abruptly: "No, how many years have passed in a flash, the children have grown up in a flash, we are all old, and our master is ......" Tears appeared in her eyes as she spoke, and she felt that the guests could not be presumptuous in their presumptuousness, so she forced a smile and said, "Look at me, what are you doing with these words." A stack of voices instructed the maid to rearrange the melons and fruits and refreshments.

Webster hurriedly said: "You don't have to be so thoughtful, you come here just to talk and reminisce about the old ...... Speaking of children, your brother in the house is also sixteen or seventeen? ”

Aunt Song was overjoyed when she mentioned her son, and said with a smile: "No, I will be seventeen after the New Year, and my lord carved it out in a manuscript, after his father went, he suffered a lot, and took our orphans and widows out to stand on his own, but he was motivated to read, and he was already a talent, and he was going to take the exam in the autumn of this year." It's not that I'm boasting, our eldest brother is good at learning, and every time he goes back to the hospital, he is a first-class exam, if it weren't for the delay of him for family affairs in the first two years, he is afraid that he would have been admitted to the Jinshi like our master. ”

Wei Shi responded with a smile on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart, and said secretly: "But you want to be admitted to the Jinshi when you are only seventeen years old?" It's as easy as buying groceries. Before the age of twenty, she could calculate it with one hand, and her son only had some talents, so he was so big. But he said: "It's still the old sister who is blessed, and if she has such a son, she will have it for the rest of her life." ”

This sentence hit Aunt Song's heart, and she couldn't stop laughing, and saw Zheng Jingxian sitting on the chair under the right, pinching the handkerchief, although she was not soft enough, she was also a beauty, and she was dressed in style, and she praised without a mouth: "Sister, don't talk about me, you are also blessed, look at Sister Xian'er, she is really good-looking, and none of the young ladies I have ever seen can compare with the style of her whole body." Do you have an in-law? ”

Webster sighed: "No, it's also sad." ”

As he was talking, Song Ke walked in and bowed his hand and said, "The junior has seen Madame." ”

It was the first time Wei Shi had seen Song Ke, and saw that he was handsome, like a bright sunrise, wearing a mulberry-dyed straight embellished, wearing a lotus belt, and becoming more and more extraordinary, and said in surprise: "This child, such a character, those brothers in our family have to compare!" Looking left and right, I felt good, and immediately became kind to Song Ke, Yin Yin smiled and said: "You don't need to call me 'madam', it's weird, it's reasonable for you to call me an aunt and a nephew for me." ”

Song Ke clenched his fists and responded. Aunt Song introduced Zheng Jingxian again, Song Ke called her "sister", and Zheng Jingxian got up to return the salute.

After the confession, Webster carefully asked Song Ke what he read, what he did on weekdays, which academy he went to, and who his husband was. Song Ke wanted to go back and think about Xianglan in detail, but he didn't expect Wei Shi to stop him and ask him, and he couldn't refute the face of the distinguished guest, so he had to deal with it politely.

That Aunt Song originally saw that her son was a flower, she lived in the inner house, and she didn't have a chance to boast on weekdays, but now that she saw someone who knew the goods, she was extremely excited, and she should praise Song Ke from the inside to the outside with Wei's words, so that even Song Ke couldn't sit still, her ears turned red, and she gave Song Tanchai a look.

But Song Tanchai didn't seem to see it, but squeezed his eyes with him, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and snickered.

Wei Shi heard that Song Ke was in charge of the shop and the grange at a young age, and his eyes softened two points when he saw him.

After finishing his words for a while, Song Ke said goodbye, and when he went to the courtyard to see the osmanthus flowers in the courtyard blooming, he remembered that Xianglan had said to him with a smile: "When the osmanthus flowers in the courtyard bloom in autumn, pick some to make osmanthus stuff." The osmanthus stuffed on the market is sweet and noisy, I make it more fragrant, and when the time comes, I knead the osmanthus stuffed to make some cakes, I don't know how delicious it is. He stared at the laurel tree for a long time, then he sighed heavily and walked back, to the door of the weeping flower, and suddenly saw a handkerchief flying at his feet, and when he looked up, he saw Zheng Jingxian and a maid who had walked behind him at some point.

Zheng Jingxian used to dress up heroically, but she wore some pale clothes of maize and thousand grass, and her hair was simply combed, and she wore a red gold collar around her neck, so she no longer had jewelry on the side. But today, she wore a peach-colored large inlaid and embroidered peony flower dress, with a fine and dense bun on her head, a small phoenix hairpin with red gold drops, and some fat powder on her face.

Song Ke knew that such female dependents should not meet foreign men in private, and he was stunned, Zheng Jingxian's maid Yue'er had stepped forward to pick up the veil, Zheng Jingxian was generous, smiled at Song Ke, and said: "Brother Yifei is afraid that he won't remember me, you came to my house when you were a child." ”RS
