Chapter 38: Playmates

Qiu Muyun really didn't want to have anything to do with the Sun family anymore, so he had to hope that He Kai would have the opportunity to change his errand in the future.

But the officials who donated money are incomparable with those who were born in the imperial examination, and it is even more difficult to be promoted or transferred......

The more Qiu Muyun thought about it, the more angry he became.

Last time in Xiangbaozhai, I thought I had ridiculed Yin Pingru, but I didn't expect things to become like this now!

In the end, I remembered He Kai's appearance when he heard that Yin Pingru was married, and he was a little relieved.

Seeing Qiu Muyun leave the hall after greeting everyone a few words, Lu Yizhong also took back his thoughts just now and concentrated on eating wine with everyone.

Although everyone at the table is not too familiar, between pushing the cup and changing the lamp*, this meal is also talked and laughed.

After the banquet was over, Lu Yizhong helped Chen Zan, who was already a little drunk, to come out of the He Mansion and get into his own carriage.

On the way back to see him off, Chen Zan actually talked to him about Qiu Muyun.

"Have you heard? The ** milk of the He family just now, the former husband is the cousin and nephew of our Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Sun......"

Lu Yizhong was a little embarrassed, and didn't answer his words, thinking that Chen Zan actually talked about Qiu Muyun's past in front of him, and it seemed that his news was not very well-informed......

sent Chen Zan home first, and Lu Yizhong then returned to Jinglin Hutong.

Early the next morning, he hurriedly rushed to Tongzhou and invited Jiang Shenzhi and them back to Lufu.

It turned out that in addition to Jiang Shenzhi's four-year-old son Jiang Ling, he also had a slightly younger daughter Jiang Yunpei.

Thinking that I didn't explain it clearly to Lu Yiduo last time, I would be told by my eldest brother that it was unreliable to do things when I went back......

Lu Yiduo didn't care about this, and entertained Jiang Shenzhi very respectfully, and the two talked behind closed doors in the study for more than an hour before arranging for Jiang Shenyi and his party to live in the south courtyard of the east courtyard.

Lu Qingrong heard that Mr. Jiang had arrived, and driven by curiosity, he took Luzhu and ran to the South Courtyard with a familiar car.

Jiang Shenzhi was packing up the boxes of books he brought at this time, thinking that he wouldn't be able to stay here for a few days, so he just picked out a few commonly used books and took them out.

Seeing Lu Qingrong walk in, he heard the maid outside the house shouting "Fourth Miss", and realized that she was the young lady of the Lu Mansion.

Lu Qingrong called "Mr. Jiang" very politely.

Jiang Shenzhi nodded and stood there looking at her with a smile on his face.

The Jiang Shenzhi in front of him was not the same as Lu Qingrong imagined.

Wearing a dark blue plain collar and a boxwood hairpin in his hair, Jiang Shenzhi actually looked like a tiger with a bear waist and a burly figure.

Jiang Shenzhi saw that Lu Qingrong was still so young, and he had never been very good at coaxing children, so he called Jiang Ling and Jiang Yunpei, who were playing in the yard, and wanted them to play with Lu Qingrong.

Following Jiang Shenzhi's line of sight, Lu Qingrong saw two little people lying on their stomachs under the verandah on the east side of the courtyard.

Jiang Ling should be the slightly taller boy, about four years old, wearing an azure silk satin robe, Lu Qingrong could only see his side, at this moment he was staring intently at something under his eyes, motionless, ignoring Jiang Shenzhi's shout just now.

Jiang Yunpei, who was opposite him, quickly raised his head and ran towards Lu Qingrong.

Jiang Yunpei, who was dressed in a water-pink dress, looked like she was about three years old, slightly older than Lu Qianyu and Lu Manyu, and gave people a completely different feeling from them.

I saw her running in front of Lu Qingrong, smiling at her, stretching out her little hand to pull her, and walking back to the east corridor with her.

Walking closer, Lu Qingrong realized that Jiang Ling had been staring at a Go board, and there was an endgame there at the moment.

Lu Qingrong was immediately very impressed in his heart.

Everyone says that Jiang Shenzhi is the top talent, and it seems that his children are also very good, and two children of three or four years old actually played Go.

Lu Qingrong didn't know anything about Go, so he looked at the two of them with more and more admiration.

Jiang Yunpei knew at a glance that Lu Qingrong had misunderstood, and hurriedly pointed out to her a copy of "Ancient Spectrum Endgame" next to Jiang Ling, obviously wanting to say, "I'm not so profound."

Lu Qingrong suddenly realized, it turned out that he was competing with the endgame on the ancient spectrum, and it seemed that he had underestimated others just now......

Lying next to him with Jiang Yunpei and watching for a while, Lu Qingrong really couldn't see why.

Jiang Yunpei also noticed that Lu Qingrong was staring at the chessboard and frowning, so he took the initiative to pull her to play elsewhere.

Lu Qingrong followed Jiang Yunpei to the house where she lived, and didn't forget to glance back at Jiang Ling, only to see that he had never raised his eyes to look at her from beginning to end, and he always looked like no one was around.

Jiang Yunpei was very enthusiastic, and as soon as he entered the house, he took out all the little treasures he had collected and showed them to Lu Qingrong.

"This is a rattle with jade beads hanging down."

"This is a magpie kite that my dad helped me make."

"This is a tumbler."

……

Lu Qingrong was not very interested in these, but he was attracted by the stack of illustrated calligraphy and paintings on the table.

Each piece of paper is a small story, on the right is a vigorous and handsome fly-headed Xiaokai, on the left is a painting, although they are all very popular allusions such as "Kong Rong makes pears" and "carving a boat for a sword", but the pictures are vivid, only a single ink color, but each story is vividly jumped on the paper.

"Did Mr. Jiang draw it?" Lu Qingrong tilted his little head and asked curiously.

"The words next to it were written by my father, and the painting was drawn by my brother!" Jiang Yunpei replied proudly.

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little stronger in his admiration for Jiang Ling.

Today's Lu Qingrong is very happy in her heart, just because she finally found Jiang Yunpei as a playmate.

On weekdays, several of Lu Yiduo's children live in the main courtyard, and they can only occasionally meet when they go with Yin Pingru to greet Mrs. Lu in the morning.

And Lu Fangyu is much older than her, and she doesn't seem to like to be close to her very much; Lu Qianyu was more often involved with Lu Manyu......

Jiang Yunpei is different, although he is not very old, he is extremely modest and steady, and he is lively.

In the past few days, Lu Qingrong ran to the South Courtyard whenever he was free, and practiced writing and painting with Jiang Yunpei.

She also brought the dried begonia flowers she had collected a few days ago, and the two of them found some cotton cloth and silk, and with great effort sewed two sachets, and stuffed the dried petals into them.

Although the sachet was a little crooked and did not have any fragrance, both of them wore it with great joy.

And Jiang Ling was still only immersed in his own world for a few days, sometimes pondering chess games, sometimes drawing with a pen, and never paid attention to Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong didn't care at all, and always had fun with Jiang Yunpei.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Lu Yiduo was about to leave Beijing.
