Chapter 47: Biluochun
Fourth Master Xu thought that Xu Qirong was only less than seven years old, so he didn't suspect anything, and accompanied Xu Qirong to talk for a while, and then left Fenghua Courtyard.
After leaving Fenghua Courtyard, Fourth Master Xu did not go next door to see Xu Qijin by the way, but turned around and walked towards Shui Yuexuan.
Walking outside Shui Yuexuan, he met a mother-in-law with a wooden basin, and asked casually, "Is the eldest master here?" ”
The mother-in-law didn't expect the fourth master to talk to her, so she was so excited that she almost dropped the wooden basin in her hand to the ground, and made a salute, before she hurriedly said: "The old slave is just a mother-in-law who does rough work, how do you know that the old man is not there, is the fourth master waiting for the old slave to find the big girl inside to ask or go in directly?" ”
Fourth Master Xu was stunned and didn't speak.
The woman waited for a while before carefully repeating the last sentence.
Master Xu Si came back to his senses: "Oh! Then he turned and walked away.
That mother-in-law is stunned, what does the fourth master mean? In the end, you can't find the big man! I didn't dare to chase after the fourth master and ask, so I thought about it, and went to do my work with a wooden basin with a tangled face.
Sure enough, from this day on, Xu Qirong will no longer send anything to the Buddhist hall. Fourth Master Xu listened to the news from Uncle Gao, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qirong was not annoyed, she felt in her heart that it was probably Master Xu's fatherly love these days that made her a little carried away, so she approached the Buddha Hall so recklessly. As a result, not only did it not gain the trust of Princess Pingtai, but it aroused the vigilance of Master Xu Si.
There is no way, the matter of the county lord of Jiaren has to start from the county lord of Jiaren. Xu Qirong felt that Emperor Chen Qiandi had been in good health in recent years, although he was a usurper of the dynasty, he had a good reputation among the people, and her father was only a scholarly figure in his twenties now, and he should not think of rebelling. Therefore, the most urgent thing in front of him is the matter of the county lord of Jiaren and Zhou Wei.
Therefore, in the past few days, Xu Qirong ran to the eldest princess's mansion at every opportunity to chat with the county lord of Jiaren. That eagerness made Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Qiao sigh that Xu Qirong has grown up and is sensible, and reminded Xu Qirong more than once that he remembered to say more good things about his sisters in front of the county lord of Jiaren.
Although Xu Qirong was impatient, he had no choice but to nod and agree.
First, the weather is hot, and Xu Qirong's running back and forth is really too hard; Second, Xu Qirong had something in his heart, and within a few days, Xu Qirong's round face with a little baby fat became a melon seed face. Xu Qijin was so worried when he saw it.
began to persuade: "If you can really talk to the county lord of Jiaren, it is better for the two of you to communicate!" Let the maid next to you send the letter, or let Gao Bo deliver it, and the two of you don't have anything important to talk about, even if you are looked at, it doesn't matter. ”
Xu Qijin paused and added: "Look at how thin you are now, you are not round at all, you are ugly to death!" Xu Qijin couldn't help it, and used Xu Qirong's previous aesthetics to persuade her, completely forgetting that he wanted to euphemistically tell her that the fat man was not good-looking.
Xu Qirong was stunned, when did roundness become an aesthetic standard? However, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and she herself feels that it is not a way to go on like this, so she thought about it and said: "There seems to be a maid around the county lord of Jiaren who knows kung fu, I will tell the county lord to let the maid run once a day, directly deliver the letter to me, and then take the letter I wrote to the county lord from my hand." No matter how great the ability of others is, they can't do it. ”
Xu Qijin saw that Xu Qirong listened to the persuasion and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's exactly how it is!" ”
So, Xu Qirong began to communicate with the county lord of Jiaren at least once a day. Fortunately, the county lord of Jiaren does not seem to have any different views on Zhou Wei, and in the letters exchanged every day, there is not a single word about Zhou Wei at all.
Xu Qirong was very puzzled, Zhou Wei is now a scholar and he can't make the county lord of Jiaren impress him, and later Zhou Wei became a monk, how did he persuade Jiaren to elope with him willingly?
As soon as she thought of Zhou Wei, Xu Qirong hated the root of her teeth, thinking in her heart that as long as he dared to get close to Jiaren again, she wouldn't believe that she couldn't find a chance to make someone beat him and throw him out of Xijing City!
Regardless of his conspiracy and life and death, in the face of this kind of brainless violence, she doesn't believe that it can continue!
Xu Qijin saw that his sister began to wander again, and left silently. As soon as Xu Qijin left, Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun came to Fenghua Courtyard with a smile.
Since breaking off her relationship with Qiu Yuanyuan, the relationship between Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun has suddenly improved. In addition, the county lord of Jiaren sometimes asks Xu Qirong to bring some small things back to Xu Qiyun, and Xu Qiyun will also give a share to Xu Qiyao in order to please Mrs. Guo, and the "sisterhood" between the two is getting stronger and stronger.
Xu Qirong didn't expect the two of them to come to her Fenghua Courtyard and let the maid pour tea with a smiling face.
Xu Qiyun pursed her lips with a look of disgust: "Fifth sister, what is there to drink in tea, this kind of weather, it should be with ice plum soup, if there is no Fenghua Courtyard, you let the maid go to my yard to get it." And so much! ”
Xu Qirong smiled: "This is Dongting Biluochun, also known as scaring people." Drink its taste, the head is light, fragrant, and elegant; Second, it is green, fragrant and mellow; Three drinks are clear, fragrant, and sweet. A wonderful world that can be encountered but not sought. Bitterness can pour down, dispel dryness and dampness, and reduce fire; Sweet can tonify and soothe; Cool can clear heat and relieve the fire table. It is best for drinking in this weather. ”
Xu Qiyun waved his hand: "Biluochun I know, but in the end, it is hot tea, let alone ice plum soup, even a bowl of herbal tea, it is better than it." ”
Xu Qiyao smiled, picked up the turquoise ice crack tea bowl with his hand, and gently opened the tea lid, only to see that the soup was green and clear, and the bottom of the leaves was tender and bright, and he couldn't help but say: "This tea is really good, or the fifth sister has a lot of good things here, and even the Lu'an melon slices in the ancestral house are not as good as this!" ”
The corners of Xu Qirong's mouth twitched, isn't it just to invite you to drink tea, one is disdainful, the other is to turn around and say that she has good tea and doesn't know if she can still be good at Lin'antang!
Xu Qirong pretended not to hear what Xu Qiyao meant, and said with a smile: "This tea was brought back by my sister from Yuwang's Mansion, and there are only one or two in total, and my sister doesn't like to drink it, so she gave it to me." The ancestors love Lu'an melon slices, although this Biluochun is good, but it is really pitiful, how can I take it to the ancestors to offer treasure! Seeing the two sisters coming, didn't you hurry up and soak it! ”
In fact, this Biluochun was brought back from Yangzhou City, the second uncle got a large bag of tea, and Cousin He heard that it was good tea, so he stole more than half of it with brown paper while the second uncle was not paying attention, and quietly put it in Xu Qirong's luggage back to the capital. A few days ago, I cleaned up the warehouse and found that there was still such a bag of tea.
Xu Qirong divided six parts, one was secretly placed outside the Buddhist hall, one was sent to Fenghe Courtyard, one was sent to Pingqiu Courtyard, one was sent to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and one was sent to Yuwang's Mansion.
It's not that she is reluctant to send it to Lin'antang, but in fact, these days, the things she brought back from Yangzhou don't know how much they have been looted by Mrs. Guo! A little thing, Xu Qirong didn't care, but after counting the warehouse a few days ago, he realized how ruthless Mrs. Guo and the people on Shui Yuexuan's side were!
She's angry, where will she give them tea!
I heard that this tea is good, and it was obtained from Yuwang's Mansion, Xu Qiyun hurriedly picked it up, and then said seriously: "I'm just thirsty, and you have nothing else here, so I have to reluctantly drink this Biluochun." ”
Xu Qirong was too lazy to fight with them, and when he heard this, he nodded straightly: "Next time the third sister comes, I will ask them to prepare ice plum soup." Then he asked, "Did the two sisters come to me today for something?" "You can't come here for the tea!
Xu Qiyun looked at Xu Qiyao, Xu Qiyao drank half a cup of tea slowly, and then said: "In two days, the General's Mansion will hold a poetry meeting, and the little ladies in the cardamom years of the whole capital are invited to participate, and my second sister and third sister have received posts." ”
"My sister didn't mention it to me." Xu Qirong said subconsciously, and then said in surprise: "The General's Mansion holds a poetry meeting? Whose idea was this? What a novelty! "What kind of military general's family would have this kind of crepe party!
Xu Qirong asked, Xu Qiyun was okay, Xu Qiyao blushed suddenly, and immediately realized, Yang Jingcheng of the General's Mansion should be fifteen years old this year, and the general's family pays attention to consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, and will not get married as early as other sons of the family. Now I am starting to see the school-age women in the whole capital, and after three or four years, it will not be too early to get married.
Like Xu Qiyun and Xu Qijin, who are only eight or nine years old, they are still very early from Ji Lu, and they are obviously asked to go to be a foil.
Xu Qirong remembered that the county lord of Jiaren had never met Yang Jingcheng, but she had seen General Yang Xiao several times from afar after marrying Yun Lan. The county lord of Jiaren was still young when she married Yang Jingcheng, and after a set of procedures for marrying in the church, she began to sleep soundly as soon as she entered the cave room. Yang Jingcheng naturally couldn't do anything to this little wife, and the next day, seeing that Jiaren didn't wake up, he didn't bother her, left a letter, and took the army on the road.
Later, Jiaren eloped with the monk, and General Yang Xiao was at the border pass, but he couldn't rush back when he learned the news, so he had to send several letters back to Yang's mansion every day, while persuading Jiaren to change his mind, and persuading the Yang family to forgive Jiaren. It can be seen that it is a love and righteousness.
But Jiaren has never been waiting to see a simple-minded and reckless man with developed limbs, and he is bent on being with the monk, and finally Jiaren is married, and General Yang Xiao returns to the dynasty victoriously, he should be complacent, but he has become the laughing stock of the whole capital.
Xu Qirong remembered that you, General Yang Xiao, looked at it from a distance, and it didn't look like a reckless appearance of the five big and three coarse, and he also thought in his heart that if Jiaren had known Yang Jingcheng's character, maybe he wouldn't have done such a thing. Even if it's just for the reason of "I don't want to hurt a good person"!
Emperor Chen Qian's marriage, Xu Qirong couldn't do anything, but what if Yang Jingcheng was allowed to walk into Jiaren's sight in advance?
