It's late today, sorry. Tomorrow must be on time-

The sixth master and the Zhou family wanted to take Liu Yiwan back to live for a few years, and Zhen Lin told Zhen Xuan.

Zhen Lin looked at the treetops with green buds outside the window, and asked softly, "Seventh sister, do you remember Cousin Liu?" About four or five years ago, my eighth aunt took her to live with her for a while, when I was still young, and I only remember her appearance like a pink carving, and I don't remember anything else. ”

Zhen Xuan chuckled and shook her head, and said, "The fourth sister doesn't remember, let alone me, I really can't remember it clearly." The sixth aunt mentioned this matter because of her own considerations, and I was afraid that I would send away a cousin Su and another cousin Liu. ”

Zhen Lin blinked, understood the meaning of Zhen Xuan's words, pursed her lips, and said, "The young lady brought up by the eighth aunt should not have the same temperament as Cousin Su." I heard some from the third sister, when they were in the capital, they occasionally interacted, and the third sister praised her for being gentle and soft, but I am afraid that there are so many sisters in our Pei family, and no one can compare to Cousin Liu in terms of temperament. ”

"Oh?" Zhen Xuan was also stunned when she heard this, it was really not easy to make Zhen Ying have such an evaluation, and she didn't feel a little looking forward to it, "Then I really want her to come earlier and ask us to learn from that gentleness." ”

Aunt Liu's letter had not yet arrived, but Yu Jun came first, for the sake of nature the hot springs on the mountain villa.

Yu Jun didn't go directly to the Xia family, he went to the Pei family to greet the elders and kowtow in turn, and then went to Zhen Xuan to inquire about the matter again.

After Zhen Xuan finished speaking, he looked up at Yu Jun, and when he saw that he frowned slightly, he asked, "I heard the news." On the contrary, you are more concerned than the steward of the Naxia family, what is the reason for this? ”

Yu Jun smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and said: "If other families want it, my father may not be willing to give it, but the Xia family is different." They are royal merchants. Not only must we not offend, but we must show goodwill. It's just that there must be a way to show goodwill, otherwise the horse's fart will be slapped on the horse's leg, and the relationship will be rounded again. It's hard. ”

"Imperial Merchant?" Zhen Xuan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she couldn't help but think of the face that made her feel extremely familiar again, and she glanced at it in a hurry. What has always been engraved in her heart is the other party's slightly pursed thin lips. After knowing that the Xia family was in business, she also guessed some, but she never thought of it. The Xia family turned out to be the home of the imperial merchants.

"A hundred years of imperial businessmen, after five emperors without falling, I heard that they have made meritorious contributions." Since he was going to talk about things with the Xia family, Yu Jun had heard a lot of these relationships from Master Ji before he came, and seeing that Zhen Xuan was interested, he told everything he knew about the Tao one by one. "I heard that now he is also deeply trusted by the emperor. Father said. The Xia family knows very well the way of being a minister and a businessman, and has not blindly expanded their business with a solid foundation over the years, just doing royal rouge gouache, brocade jewelry and some gadgets, and not touching the slightest bit on the side. It is said that the saints of the Xia family are made by weapons, and as long as they have the heart, they can take it over, but they have never had that kind of mind. That's probably why it's been able to prosper to this day. ”

Zhen Xuan listened silently, sorted out his thoughts, pondered Yu Jun's words, and asked tentatively: "Next to our Zhuangzi is the Xia family's Zhuangzi, have you never dealt with it before?" ”

Yu Jun was a little helpless, but he didn't plan to hide it from Zhen Xuan, and said: "It wasn't from the Xia family at the earliest, it was only after my aunt married into the Pei family that the land was bought for the Xia family." My father later found out, and only said that it was already my aunt's dowry, and he was not good at interfering. I'll say another disrespectful word, my father is still a scholar in his bones, how can he be willing to approach the Xia family as a 'neighbor', there are more people who flatter the Xia family, and the Xia family may not take our overtures to heart. So this time, when my father received your letter, he was also a little surprised, but he just thought that it was a good opportunity, so he asked me to find out first. After all, although the Xia Dong family liked that hot spring, they never opened their mouths to discuss with us. This time, it was also the manager Xie who made his own idea, and the Xia Dong family was afraid that he didn't know what to do. ”

"Cousin, my uncle has my uncle's thoughts, so could it be that the Xia Dong family also has his own thoughts?" When Zhen Xuan said this, he saw Yu Jun looking at him with a little puzzlement, and hurriedly explained, "The Xia family doesn't seem to be doing things at all, not only me, but several brothers and sisters in the family don't know what the Xia family is, until you mention it, I don't know that it is an imperial businessman." They didn't mention the hot springs, was it afraid that we would not be willing to give them, but because of their status, they would have a reputation as bullying? ”

"It's hard to say. After all, after hearing that it was the Xia family, whether it was Yongzhou or Shaozhou, or the nearby towns, they were all busy and had to offer it. Yu Jun shrugged, "It's just that my father doesn't want to be so flattering." ”

Zhen Xuan rolled her eyes, her eyes fell on the embroidered bandage on the side, and she couldn't help but light up, and said, "Cousin, do you remember that my aunt bought a handheld screen in Linglong Pavilion during the Chinese New Year?" It's very delicate and small. I saw that my aunt liked it, and I also embroidered a set, and wanted to ask Linglong Pavilion to make a screen for my aunt to send. I can't go out, so I have to trouble my cousin to run for me. ”

Yu Jun didn't understand why Zhen Xuan lifted the screen at first, and when he remembered that his father had said that Linglong Pavilion was the Xia family's shop, he smiled and said, "It's just an errand, what's so difficult?" You give me the things, and I will go in a while, and when I come back, I will go to the Aroma Pavilion again, and bring some snacks to eat with you, the old lady, and the aunt. ”

Zhen Xuan laughed twice, took out four pieces of water-rippled woven silk embroidery cloth from the small drawer on the bed, wrapped it in a handkerchief, handed it to Yu Jun, and sent him out, saying, "Then we will keep our stomachs and wait to eat, remember to bring some fish fillet porridge, grandmother likes it." ”

Mama Qin happened to pass by and heard it, and hurriedly said: "Head to head, young master remember to ask the cook to cut the ginger finely and less green onions." ”

Yu Jun smiled and nodded to indicate that he knew what he had said, Zhen Xuan laughed for a while, and then went back to the house.

In the evening, Yu Jun came back, and did not forget Mama Qin's instructions, the bowl of fish fillet porridge was fragrant, soft and delicious, and Mrs. Li couldn't help but drink an extra bowl.

After withdrawing from the elders, Yu Jun told Zhen Xuan about what happened when he went to Linglong Pavilion.

It was also a coincidence, when Yu Jun went, Xia Dongjia was in Linglong Pavilion and the shopkeeper was checking accounts.

Yu Jun mentioned that during the Chinese New Year, the Jin family bought a palm screen here, and took out the pattern embroidered by Zhen Xuan. The shopkeeper heard Xiao Er's report, and remembered that the buyer at that time was the wife of the Pei family, and after saying a word to Xia Dong's family, he greeted him.

Yu Jun elaborated on the requirements of the screen, paid the money, and after thinking about it, he didn't take Qiao, so as not to backfire, and said another intention with the shopkeeper.

"The shopkeeper went to tell Xia Dong's family. We also guessed correctly, Steward Xie hadn't mentioned it to the Xia Dongjia yet, but he really liked the hot spring and put forward some ideas. Yu Jun paused when he said this, touched his nose, and said, "I originally thought that the Xia family's generations of imperial businessmen, who could do the business of the owner of the family, must be an old businessman in his sixties, who knows that he is only a few years older than me, it is really unexpected." ”

Zhen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, the question had already rushed out: "Is it slightly taller, a little thin, and a cold face?" ”

"Yes." Yu Jun didn't understand why Zhen Xuan asked, "Have you seen him?" ”

Zhen Xuan squeezed out a smile, if she wanted to make up a reason, she was afraid that the more she said it, the more wrong it would be, so she had to tell the story of meeting a master of the Xia family when she went down the mountain from the Fu family, and only concealed that she felt that the other party was very familiar.

After finishing speaking, he was a little afraid that Yu Jun would ask again, so he started another topic and said, "How long will it take to make that screen?" ”

The shopkeeper said that it would be done in seven or eight days. When I go back, I'll bring it with my mother, don't worry. ”

Zhen Xuan smiled and nodded, and sent Yu Jun back to the pavilion.

Yu Jun also lived in Pei's house this time, if Mrs. Li knew that he came to Yongzhou but went to the inn to stay in the hotel, she was afraid that she would be even more unhappy, so she didn't care about disturbing or not, and came to the door.

Although the Qing'an Hall was empty this time, he was more familiar with the Yunyun Pavilion, and the two places were not far away, so he still wanted the room where he had lived.

Seven or eight days is just a blink of an eye, Yu Jun is the same age as Xia Dongjia, so it is naturally much more convenient to talk about things. The title deed of the hot spring land is still kept by the Ji family, the Xia family and the Ji family each pay for a small garden, the old lady of the Xia family can go up the mountain to recuperate at any time, and the Ji family will not necessarily go once a year and a half, if you want to go up the mountain, you will inform the Xia family in advance.

Yu Jun squinted his eyes and said to Zhen Xuan with a smile: "It sounds like we are at a loss, but we and the Xia family are just taking what we need." ”

Zhen Xuan also laughed and said, "I don't understand business matters, I only remember the screen, won't it be fine tomorrow?" Before I give it to my aunt, I'm going to see it for myself. ”

Yu Jun went back to rest, Zhen Xuan looked up at the moonlight, and only felt that the crescent moon was soft and delicate, and it looked better than the full moon, so he thought about it for a while, sat down on the promenade by the lake, and asked Tao Aya to go back and get a cloak.

Zhen Xuan sat on her knees, looking at the bright moonlight, her heart moved, and she gently sang "Water Tune Song Head".

One word at a time, playful, just to have fun, and when it comes to rising, the voice is also a little louder. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced in the darkness in the distance, and in the hazy moonlight, there seemed to be a figure standing beside him.

Zhen Xuan didn't have time to think about it, and continued to sing her tune, until Tao Aya came over with her cloak, and she asked the black shadow in a loud voice: "But my cousin is eavesdropping?" ”

In the darkness, there was no response, Zhen Xuan pouted, and when he tilted his head, his eyes fell on the white wall on the side, and the clear moonlight printed the ripples of the lake clearly, and the mottled shadows sprinkled down.

Zhen Xuan couldn't help laughing and said, "I was wrong. Momoaya, let's go back. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come (qidian.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
