Chapter 39: A Chance Encounter in Changyin Pavilion
"The so-called self-cultivation is in the ...... of those who are right" In the school, the master shook his head and read the contents of the scriptures, and when he read the place where he arose, he danced with his hands and feet, completely forgetting that many students were sitting down.
The students below are mentally counting when class will end and where they will go to play after class.
"Dangdang-" The bell rang for the end of class.
The students in the school cheered in their hearts, but their faces became more serious, and they carefully flipped through the textbooks in their hands one by one. The master was reading the Xingnong, and when he heard the bell, he sighed regretfully, "Go back and recite what I explained today." ”
The students responded in unison, got up and sent their master away, and one by one they cheered and discussed where to play, this is the private school of the Jiang Mansion, and those who can enter the study are either the disciples of the Jiang family or the in-laws of the Jiang family, most of them are disciples of the scholar clan, even if they do not study, they are enough to rely on the ancestral shade to lead a vacant position to live leisurely.
Lin Xi closed the textbook and sorted out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the Xue family equipped him with servants, but he was still used to doing it himself.
"Brother Lin, will you go to Changyin Pavilion in a while? I heard that everyone Liu is coming to Changyin Pavilion to sing today. A thin boy approached Lin Xi's side with a smile, and the fat scholar behind him also shook the blanket in his hand, and the copper coins in it were clanging, obviously bulging with purses.
Jiang Mansion private school is famous all over the world, I don't know how many people want to drill into it after sharpening their heads, there are disciples of the Jiang family in the school, there are also disciples of the scholar clan of other families, and Lin Xi is the son of a noble family who has a good relationship with the master of Jiang Mansion, and there are also many disciples of the declining Shi clan, and the identity of the students is different, which also leads to the fact that private school is the same as the outside world, and people are divided into three, six, nine and so on. The boy was the son of a wealthy businessman, and his eldest sister was the concubine of a disciple of the Jiang family, and their family spent a lot of money to send the boy to a private school. The boy is a clever person, and after entering the private school, he did not bother those high-ranking disciples, but followed the taciturn Lin Xi with one mind, so that Lin Xi was not annoyed and annoyed, but also gradually got used to his existence.
Lin Xi didn't speak, and after silently packing up his things, he stepped out of the school.
"Brother Lin, the so-called people are not romantic teenagers, we are in the prime of life, how can we bury ourselves in books all day long......" the boy said babblingly.
Lin Xi stopped, and the boy almost bumped into him, "Brother Lin? He looked at Lin Xi puzzled, "Are you willing to go to Changyin Pavilion?" ”
Lin Xi's gaze fell on the wall that was densely covered by tree branches, "Ah-nine? He frowned and shouted, at this time, the people in the school were all dispersed, and only Lin Xi, the boy and the servant were left.
The branches at the head of the wall trembled, and after a while, a beautiful little face poked out from behind the branches, "Ah Xi, I can climb the wall!" The soft and glutinous children's voice has an undisguised pride.
The boy looked at the little jade doll sitting on the wall in a daze, wearing a neat beard suit, wearing a small soft silk hat on his head, the fabric was an ordinary silk shirt, the work was very meticulous, even the cuffs were embroidered with very delicate dark embroidery, the little feet wearing a pair of lambskin boots were still shaking, the small face was only the size of a palm, a pair of big eyes were black and bright, the skin was tender as if pinching out of water, revealing a jade color, beautiful and cute.
Lin Xi saw Jiang Wei sitting on the wall, his face was first black, then white, he took a deep breath, and said in a soothing tone, "Come down quickly." ”
"Oh." Jiang Wei was very cooperative, Lin Xi said, as soon as she stretched out her little hand and grabbed the trunk, she was about to climb down the branch. She stood on the static pile with Shen Yi at the age of three, learned to dance at the age of five, began to practice martial arts at the beginning of this year, and practiced very flexibly, and her two-life wish to climb trees has already been achieved, and now she has evolved to climb the wall with a big tree. Jiang Wei's hobby of climbing trees once made Jiang Rin very puzzled, but seeing that her little niece was unswervingly revolving around the big trees in the courtyard all day long, worried that she would fall and hurt herself if she climbed without permission, she simply taught her how to climb trees safely, of course, all of this was hidden from others.
Lin Xi's face turned even paler when he looked at her actions, "Don't move, I'll come up to pick you up." ”
"Why are you coming to pick me up?" Jiang Wei asked curiously, can you still bring people by climbing the wall?
Lin Xi pursed his lips, stuffed the hem of his clothes that was in the way into the belt, kicked his legs, and stepped on the branch in a few steps.
"Ah Xi is so amazing!" Jiang Wei looked at Lin Xi's flexible skills with envy, if only she could practice Ah Xi's skills.
The boy also looked up to the eldest brother with admiration, and Brother Lin was amazing!
Lin Xi pursed his lips, his anger gradually dissipated with Ah Shi's sweet smile, and he said helplessly: "Ah Jiu, how can you do such a dangerous thing? What if I fall? ”
"I'll do it once, I won't do it in the future, Ah Xi, you're the best, you won't tell Uncle and Yeye, right?" Jiang Wei said to Lin Xi flatteringly.
Lin Xi sighed, took her hand, and let her jump to the branch with her own strength, and after reaching the tree, he put his arm around Jiang Wei with one hand and jumped off the tree easily.
"Big brother, you're so amazing!" The boy has been following Lin Xi for so long, he has never seen Lin Xi show any skills, he shocked himself the first time, he saw Jiang Wei looking at himself curiously, he straightened his clothes, and introduced himself solemnly: "This Xiao Langjun, surnamed Sang, named Xiaohong, ranked third, nicknamed rich and noble." He paused, grimaced at Jiang Wei, and teased her, "I see that you are younger than me, you can call me Third Brother Sang and Brother Fugui." There are more than 20 sisters, cousins, and cousins in Sang San's family, and he can see at a glance that Jiang Wei is a little girl, but he deliberately does not poke it.
Jiang smiled slightly, "Third Brother Sang, my surname is Qi, ranked ninth, you can call me Ah Jiu." ”
"Then I'll call you Ah Jiu." Sang Xiaohong didn't ask Jiang Wei why he didn't say his name, how could the little girl who could be called Lin Xi and Ah Xi casually be an ordinary person, Sang Xiaohong knew in his heart, this surname Qi was probably fake.
Lin Xi saw that Sang Xiaohong and Jiang Wei were chatting like this, and coughed lightly, "Ah Jiu, why are you here?" ”
"I'm here to play with you." Jiang Wei said aggrievedly, "You said last time that you would take me to ride a horse with you, but I waited for you for three months, and you didn't fulfill it." Jiang Wei looked at Lin Xi with an accusatory gaze, and his little appearance was as pitiful as he was. She is seven years old this year, she eats well and exercises enough, but she doesn't know what's going on.
Zhao Heng's ridicule of her fat girl never stopped, but Jiang Wei didn't care, she remembered that she was like this in her previous life, she didn't look like she grew up before she was ten years old, and the photos when she was a child were also soft and fleshy, and she was still held in her arms by her eldest brother and parents like dolls when she was in elementary school. She went to school at the age of five, and when she was ten years old, she was a senior student, just like a junior student. But when she was ten years old, she was like a blowing doll, and she was taller all of a sudden, and she was one meter six or eight tall before she crossed over.
"I'm sorry, I've been delayed by some things, and I haven't been available lately." Lin Xi looked at Jiang Wei's accusatory gaze, his body shook slightly, and guilt appeared in his eyes, but he still put aside his face and said ruthlessly.
Jiang Wei looked at Lin Xi in confusion, she just felt that Ah Xi was a little wrong during this time, as if she had something on her mind, and she didn't even care about the most diligent martial arts practice in her usual life, so she left Ming Wei to come to Lin Xi, she looked up at Lin Xi and smiled, "Ah Xi, I'm joking with you, if you have something, don't play with me." ”
Lin Xi listened to Jiang Wei's words, and felt even more guilty in his heart, "Hmm." He bowed his head and whispered.
Over the years, with Lin Xi's own efforts, Jiang Ke and Jiang Rin have become more and more satisfied with him, and of course, Jiang Rin's requirements for him have become more and more strict. In the past, every time Shen Qin and Jiang Ling jokingly said that they wanted Jiang Wei to marry Lin Xi, they couldn't cause Jiang Rin to be moved in the slightest, but now Jiang Rin at least won't refuse, and will say that he will wait until Ah Shi grows up, knowing that he has begun to consider this candidate, but it is just a consideration. Marrying Ah Zhi as his wife has been Lin Xi's wish since he was a child, but seeing that he has fallen into the eyes of the Jiang family's ancestor and uncle, he is - Lin Xi's fists under his sleeves are clenched tightly.
Ah Xi is really wrong, Jiang frowned slightly, could it be puberty syndrome? But Ah Xi is only eleven years old this year, right? Lin Xi may be a candidate for her future husband, Jiang Wei doesn't know, thinking about marriage at such a young age makes Jiang Wei a little awkward, but when I think about it, people here get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and most people at the age of thirty are grandparents, and it is a pity to die at the age of forty or fifty.
As far as Jiang Wei is concerned, it is better to marry Lin Xi than to marry a stranger or a bunch of cousins in her family. Lin Xi is a little younger, but he grew up with him, and he has been obedient to him since he was a child, and Aunt Xue has always loved herself. It's not enough to say that Jiang Wei is in love with Lin Xi over the years, but she has regarded Lin Xi as her best friend, her friend's psychological condition is not right, of course Jiang Wei cares, but she also came from adolescence, and she also hates others to force her private affairs in the name of concern, Jiang Wei decided to calm him down for a while, if it is not right, she will ask directly.
Sang Xiaohong looked at the actions of these two people, it was clear that Lang was affectionate and his sister was intentional, how could Brother Lin refuse the invitation of the little beauty? Jiang Wei still seems to be childish now, but just by looking at that little face, he knows that he will definitely be a big beauty when he grows up, no! As a good little brother, he must not watch his eldest brother push out a good family affair, Sang Xiaohong's eyes are very sharp, Jiang Wei was shocked when he appeared, but at a glance, he knew that he was a little lady with strict upbringing, and he said to Jiang Wei: "Ah Jiu, do you want to go to Changyin Pavilion with us in a while?" Today, everyone Liu is on stage! All the costs are covered by the third brother! After he finished speaking, the servant behind him shook the big coat he was carrying again, and the copper coin clanged, which was very happy against the thin and fat of the master and servant.
Jiang smiled and bent his phoenix eyes and raised his eyes to look at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi glared at Sang Xiaohong and asked Jiang Wei, "Did you tell your uncle that you were going out to play today?" ”
"That's it, Uncle said as long as you take me out to play." Jiang Wei said obediently, "But you have to bring Bing 5 and Bing 6." "Bingwu and Bingliu are Jiang Rin's two guards assigned to Jiang Wei, and they are also the Jiang family's subordinates.
The Jiang family started with martial arts, Jiang Pu took the Jiang family's 3,000 capable troops to Zhao Fengxiang, most of the family was in charge of the army, but that was limited to the era of war, and now Daqin has been established for nearly a hundred years, and the world is stable, even if the Jiang family has a trilogy, it is just an ordinary person, not equipped with weapons, and it is a joke to want to raise three thousand soldiers, unless the Jiang family wants to rebel, of course, the entire supervision department of Daqin is blind. But the Jiang family still has personal guards, after all, when they go to the battlefield to fight, generals can lead the merits, not by the recruited soldiers, but by these pro-soldiers who have been raised since childhood. The part of the C-shaped department is the personal guard who follows Jiang Lu and the others, and Jiang Wei can let Jiang Rin send the fifth and sixth elite soldiers to protect her, which shows that Jiang Rin attaches great importance to her.
"Let's go, then." Lin Xi couldn't bear to disappoint her after all, and secretly reminded himself in his heart that this was the last time.
Sang Xiaohong is definitely a qualified little brother, when Lin Xi and Jiang Wei went out, someone had already driven a green mule cart and parked at the door, and there was still a young woman in her early twenties wearing silk clothes, with beautiful eyebrows, standing next to the car, "This is my sister-in-law's surname Wu, the third in the family." Sang Xiaohong is a very careful person, since he saw that Jiang Wei is a little girl, even if she is still young, it is impossible for her to take a group of servants to travel with her, and immediately send someone home to call her sister-in-law.
Wu Sanniang smiled generously at Lin Xi and Jiang Wei: "Lin Xiaolang and Qi Xiaolang call me Sanniang." "Nowadays, most of the aristocratic girls are either sitting in the car or wearing a slug on their heads, Wu Sanniang is a businesswoman, but she is not so particular.
Lin Xi bowed slightly at Wu Sanniang and didn't say much.
Jiang Wei smiled at Wu Sanniang, "Three ladies." ”
Wu Sanniang recognized Xiaolang* at a glance and called her over to serve this little girl in men's clothes, and after giving her a cushion, she sat beside her. The maids who followed Lin Xi and Sang Xiaohong each took three mule carts, and the four mule carts went to Lanhu, a lake in Beijing. Along the way, Wu Sanniang from time to time with Jiang Wei to say some interesting things about the small streets and alleys of the capital, Wu Sanniang is a native of Beijing, and her ancestors have stayed in the capital for seven or eight generations. Uncle and Yaye also took her out to play, but they wouldn't tell her about the daily routines, and they didn't know.
Lin Xi didn't speak all the way, it seemed that he was looking at the scenery, but in fact, his eyes never left Jiang Wei, when he saw her smiling, he would also smile, and his gaze on Sang Xiaohong was also a lot kinder.
Sang Xiaohong grinned, the Sang family is a businessman, the ancestors are businessmen, the status is low, and he has been struggling to survive, until Sang Xiaohong's grandfather opened a small shop in the West Market to barely make a living, he Aya is a shrewd person, after taking over the shop from his grandfather, he worked hard to operate, and laid a solid family business, his third sister is beautiful and healthy, he Aya heard that a Lang Jun in Jiang Mansion has been married for fifteen years without children, so he tied up with the master mother of the Jiang family and sent the third sister over, his third sister is honest and obedient, and her stomach is also angry, gave birth to two sons in the third year of entry, and won the favor of Jiang Fu Langjun.
Although the two sons born to his third sister have nothing to do with their Sang family, after all, they came out of his third sister's belly, and the third sister's mother is not a mean person, the main family only missed a sentence from her mouth, and there are fewer people who come to their shops in the West Market to find trouble, and Wuhou has a smile on them on weekdays, and the family business is more prosperous. When the family has money, he wants to change his identity, his eldest brother and second brother are not material for studying, so his sister begged his mother to send him to a private school to study.
Don't look at Sang Xiaohong looking at the flamboyant tongue, studying is really hard, otherwise he wouldn't be lucky enough to be assigned to Lin Xi's class. The students in Lin Xi's class either have good backgrounds or are good academically. He inherited the shrewdness of the Sang family, recognized Lin Xi at a glance, and it took a year before and after the saddle to get Lin Xi to acquiesce to him following him. He didn't know who Jiang Wei was, he just needed to know that this little lady was the treasure that Lin Xi put on the tip of his heart, so he specially called his sister-in-law to come over to serve. Sang Xiaohong has been studying in private schools for many years, and knows that except for a few special little ladies of the family, most of the little ladies are actually not difficult to serve, and they are also very kind to others, and they will not let his sister-in-law be wronged. With Lin Xi's approving gaze, Sang Xiaohong became even more proud, and thought in his heart that he would take the two of them there next. The kind of place that will cause bad habits must not be visited, otherwise the Lin family will not be able to spare him.
Lanhu Jiang Wei has never been here, just as Sang Xiaohong said, the Liu family of Changyin Pavilion sang, gathered countless people who came to admire, and the small vendors were also mixed in, and the group got off the mule cart, Bingwu and Bingliu silently surrounded Jiang Wei and protected Jiang Wei, and Lin Xi also held Jiang Wei's hand. The attendants of the Lin family and the Jiang family gathered around the five people, and the guards of the Sang family opened the way outside, and the group directly boarded the elegant seat of Changyin Pavilion, and after putting on the screen, Sang Xiaohong wiped the sweat on his forehead, "There are so many people today, Ah Jiu, what kind of snacks do you want to eat?" He asked Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei has been fascinated by the girl who kicked the shuttlecock on the first floor, at this time Liu everyone has not yet taken the stage to sing, the three little girls in the Changyin Pavilion performed shuttlecock kicking, the three little girls were dressed in white, but they kicked a pair of bright red small leather boots under their feet, the body was light, and the colorful shuttlecock came and went one after another, but none of them fell, Jiang Wei counted twice before counting the three people kicked a total of twelve shuttlecocks.
And there were bursts of cheers in the building.
"Aunt Jane, do you dare to let your sister add six swallows!" Suddenly, a young man in brocade clothes leaned out of the seat, the young man looked about twelve or thirteen years old, his face was painted white, and the colors of his clothes were no less than ten, although he sat in the seat, he did not drive the screen, stepped on the railing on the second floor, showed his bright red shirt inside, and squinted at a woman about thirty years old standing under the stage.
Aunt Jian laughed crisply: "Han Sanlangjun spoke, I don't dare to disobey, it's just that my three younger sisters have never kicked so many swallows!" ”
The young man in Chinese costume pulled the blanket on the little girl's body and shook it with a very gentlemanly temperament, "It's yours to kick well!" ”
As soon as these people heard the voice in the blanket, they knew that at least they had consistent money, and she said loudly: "Sisters! Lift up the spirit to make Han Saburojun smile! "They worked hard for a year, endured all the hardships, and couldn't make a few dollars.
"Hey!" The three little ladies who kicked the shuttlecock responded with a grin.
Aunt Jian smiled charmingly at everyone, slowly pulled up the skirt, and everyone in the building suddenly sounded a strange scream, Lin Xi frowned, just wanted to cover Jiang Wei's eyes, but found that Aunt Jian was still wearing pants under her skirt, and her feet were the same as her sister A pair of small leather boots, she took out a shuttlecock and threw it, and as soon as she lifted her foot, her toes caught the shuttlecock steadily.
"Good!" The crowd applauded their hands.
Jiang Wei sat in front of the railing, looking at it intently, it was so funny, it turned out that there were so many tricks in the shuttlecock, but why was that Han San a little familiar? Where do you think you've seen it?
Aunt Jane's feet flickered, and a shuttlecock joined the leaping color dance. Aunt Jian was not in a hurry to fill the six shuttlecocks, but waited for the three of them to kick steadily and added one, and gradually the colorful shuttlecocks in mid-air seemed to be woven into a gorgeous heavenly garment, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...... The crowd held their breath while they waited for seventeen, eighteen! The three little girls are full of tricks, and they are dazzling to watch.
"Good!" There were deafening cheers, and copper coins were thrown on the stage like rain.
Jiang Wei's face flushed with excitement, it was the first time she had seen someone who could kick a shuttlecock to such an extent.
Aunt Jian smiled and saluted the young man in brocade, "I am fortunate to live up to Han Saburo's expectations." ”
The brocade-clothed young man snorted, "It's okay!" The little servant beside him went downstairs and handed the blanket to Aunt Jane.
When the maid of the Jiang family saw the little lady turn around, she handed Jiang Wei a purse knowingly, and Jiang Wei said to Bingwu: "You go and ask them if they are willing to come to the house to kick the swallows." Jiang Wei saw such a dazzling fancy shuttlecock for the first time, so she wanted to let them play it for her family, but unfortunately it was inconvenient for her aunt to be in the palace, otherwise she would have liked it.
After the four sisters of the Jian family brought up the atmosphere in the building, they retreated with a smile, and then it was time for everyone Liu to appear, Jian Siniang wiped her sweat with one hand, picked up the blanket sent by Han San with the other, and sneered coquettishly: "Sure enough, if there is more than fifty percent less, I know that this person is a soft product!" ”
Siniang's words made the Jian family sisters all laugh, "It turns out that Han San can't afford to be hard, so it's strange that he hasn't looked for Siniang for more than half a month." "Even if they don't have the usual money, they are satisfied, and now the next bucket of rice is about five yuan, and even after that, there are five hundred yuan.
"Aunt Jane." The running hall of Changyin Pavilion led Bingwu in, the tall and handsome Bingwu made the eyes of the four sisters of the Jian family shine, and the most beautiful Jian Sanniang walked towards Bingwu, "This Lang Jun-"
Bingwu avoided Jian Sanniang and presented a purse, "My lady asked the four ladies if they would like to come to the house to perform." ”
Aunt Jian pinched her purse, it was a ring, and the weight was not too heavy, but with the idea of making money and being angry, she asked with a smile: "I don't know the surname of the lady of the main family?" Where? What kind of juggling do you like to watch? She made a small gesture and handed the purse to Jian Erniang, who had been behind her.
Bingwu said: "If you are willing to come to the house to perform, someone will come to discuss with Mrs. Jian tomorrow." ”
Jian Erniang opened the purse and saw that it was a silver bracelet, and she couldn't help but gasp, even if this silver bracelet is not big, it can be exchanged for several dollars, but it is much more generous than Han San, Han San, they are both performing and selling their bodies, she leaned closer and whispered to Aunt Jian.
Aunt Jian listened to the second sister's words, and smiled more sincerely at Bingwu, "This Langjun, thank you for the reward from your master's family, can you take your son to thank your master's family?" ”
Bingwu pondered for a while, the little lady likes them to kick shuttlecocks so much, she should want to say a few words to them, right? "I'll wait for you outside." After saying that, he turned around and went out.
The four ladies of the Jian family simply freshened up, changed into clean clothes, and went up to the second floor with Bingwu, before they walked to Lin Xi and Jiang Wei's private room, they happened to meet Han San, Han San looked at them, "Where are you going?" Especially when she saw Jian Siniang wearing incense powder, her face was even more gloomy.
"There's a guest who wants to invite us to perform at home." Don't look at Han San's reward, only half of the reward, but for the four sisters of the Jian family, it is also a generous character, it is said that he still has a title in his family, and for the sisters of the Jian family, it is a figure in the clouds, and they dare not offend Han San.
"What a guest!" Han San was even more angry, "I want to see who dares to rob a woman with me!" ”
Bingwu frowned, and Jiang Wei, who was sitting on the screen, took in the scene, she turned her head and asked Lin Xi, "Ah Xi, is this a gentleman disciple who is jealous?" "How could she have this kind of thing happen?
