Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 546 Bring a letter to Fei Haomiao
On the twenty-fourth day of May at the turn of the spring and summer of the eleventh year of Yongxi, it had begun to slowly become hot and hot, and the catkins of the willow trees in the entire Jiangning City began to fly. Cao Yi has visited all the elders and literary elders in Jiangning City several times.
Even the old Lu family went twice, one was to send Yu Youwei and Jin'er to stay for a few days, and the second was to pick up Yu Youwei and them back. On both trips, Cao Yi had dinner in Lu Lao's mansion. On the second trip, at the banquet, Cao Yi also mentioned to Lu Lao and the two sisters that he was going to take Yu Youwei and Jin'er to Hangzhou, and he would probably live there for more than a month.
Lu Lao didn't say much, a manly man should indeed be ambitious in all directions, although reading thousands of books is commendable, but traveling thousands of miles is even more commendable. However, the two sisters, Mrs. Qin and Ya Niang, were extremely reluctant.
Mrs. Qin and Lu Lao have two or three sons, but they are not around, and now they suddenly recognize Yu Youwei as a righteous daughter, which makes them feel like they are old and have a daughter, especially the daughter after the three sons, which makes them even more precious to Yu Youwei, plus Yu Youwei has lived here for three days on Lu Lao's side, and she has not taken half a step to Lu Mansion in these three days.
All day long, he accompanied Lu Lao and his two mothers, served them, played the piano, sang songs, danced, and would accompany Lu Lao to play chess and discuss poetry; will also accompany the two mothers to order tea or discuss female celebrities and begging handwork. let them really enjoy their daughter's affection.
Originally, Cao Yi came to pick up Yu Youwei, but Mrs. Qin and Yaniang were quite reluctant, and when they heard that they were going to take Jiangning to Hangzhou, they were even more disagreeable, and they also lectured Cao Yi a few words about this.
However, it was all Lu Lao's sentence "My daughter is outward, not to mention that she is marrying a chicken with a chicken and a dog with a dog, and it is also good for others Youwei and Cao Yi to go to Hangzhou to see the beauty of Jiangnan!" After being convinced, Mrs. Qin instantly agreed to Cao Yi's request.
Ya Niang even raised her eyebrows at Cao Yi and Yu Youwei, Yu Youwei Rao was used to seeing all kinds of love words and deeds in Jinfeng Building, and her face was red when she was ridiculed by her father-in-law and the two mothers.
Cao Yi doesn't care, anyway, he is thick-skinned, and in line with the three-part principle of not refuting, not quibbling, and not reasoning, he directly pulled the topic away.
"Youwei, you take advantage of the time you still have today, and talk to your two mothers and relatives about intimate words, Cao Yi, you go to the study with me." Lu Lao finally looked at Yu Youwei and Cao Yi and said.
Cao Yi happily accepted the order and followed him to the study, Lu Lao's study Cao Yi has also come many times, when it was windy or rainy in the past, he would play chess in Lu Lao's study, this time he came in, and found that there were slight changes, before the red sleeves and the inkstone box sent by Cao Yi were replaced, and look at the traces of the two.
Obviously, Lu Lao usually likes it very much and uses it a lot. Cao Yi was thinking about it here, and was awakened by Lu Lao's words.
"Cao Yi, you should pass through Yangzhou when you go to Hangzhou this time, right? I wrote a letter to your senior brother Fei Haomiao, when you passed by the central bank, you sent it to me by the way, this child has not been easy in the past few years, but I am caught in the middle, it is really not easy to say anything, what about your wife, she has a stubborn personality, since she scolded Hao Miao once, Hao Miao, the child himself is guilty, so he does not dare to enter this door again. ”
"Well, it's really not easy for my senior brother these years, I saw him in Yangzhou before he was nearly forty years old, and he was still alone, and sometimes he did feel a sense of loneliness."
"Hey! The Qinglou woman he liked before had died of illness before she got married, and she felt guilty about Qin Shaoqing......"
By the time Cao Yi and Lu Lao walked out of the study, Cao Yi had already stuffed the letter in his arms, and he couldn't see anything unusual from the outside.
When the two of them came out, Yu Youwei and Mrs. He Qin and Ya Niang were discussing something, and the three of them had smiles on their faces.
Mrs. Qin glanced in the direction of Cao Yi and Lu Lao, but Cao Yi's heart suddenly slowed down for some reason, as if her bad side was seen through by Mrs. Qin.
"Have you talked? What did you talk about? Mrs. Qin asked.
"Hehe, it's nothing, I just introduced Cao Yi to a few famous people in the literary world in Hangzhou, and when I asked him to come over, I took the time to visit." Lu Lao said with a normal face, it was not a lie, he did have a root Cao Yi in the room just now who said something about this.
"Oh......" Mrs. Qin nodded, didn't say anything, and there was no doubt in her eyes.
Cao Yi looked at Mrs. Qin's expression and Lu Lao's calm appearance just now, and let out a long breath in his heart, secretly sighing that he was still too tender, and in front of Lu Lao and Mrs. Qin, he was still too nervous just now.
However, just when Cao Yi relaxed, Mrs. Qin suddenly called out his name, lifting his spirit again.
"Master, please command!" Cao Yi clasped his hands and said respectfully.
"You and Youwei set off for Hangzhou, you should pass through Yangzhou, right? If you get off the boat halfway to see Fei Haomiao's kid, just bring me a sentence and ask him to take the time to come here, you will say that his teacher has missed him very much over the years, and let him come over to do his filial piety! If you don't go through and don't see him, then forget it! Mrs. Qin said in a flat tone, as if she was talking about something inconsequential.
Cao Yi looked at Mrs. Qin blankly, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and she couldn't see the slightest angry expression on Mrs. Qin's face, which made her surprised and a little embarrassed, did Mrs. Qin really mean this, or did she deliberately say this because she suspected what Lu Lao had said to herself before......
However, when Mrs. Qin and Cao Yi were talking, Lu Lao had a wry smile on his face and said, "Cao Yi, your master and wife say so, you just do it." ”
Cao Yi hurriedly said yes to Mrs. Qin.
"Master, I have lived with you for more than 30 years, I don't know your mind yet, I was just held by that breath before, so I have always had prejudices and resentments against Fei Haomiao's kid, but after venting it a few days ago, I was also relieved, perhaps, the relationship between him and Shaoqing is a bad fate......
When Cao Yi left the Lu Mansion with Yu Youwei and Jin'er, Cao Yi was still speculating in his heart whether his wife had guessed that Lu Lao had written a letter to Fei Haomiao and asked him to bring it to his senior brother.
"Childe, what are you thinking about?" Yu Youwei asked softly.
"Huh?" Cao Yi was awakened by Yu Youwei's question, and didn't react for a while, and then said: "Oh, that's it, when Lu Lao called me to the study just now, he actually gave me a letter for me to give to my senior brother, but when I came out of the study with Lu Lao later, I was glanced at by Mrs. Qin, and I thought she could see through me completely." ”
"So I'm wondering if Mrs. Qin discovered Elder Lu's behavior at the beginning, so he conveyed this intention of letting Senior Brother Fei Haomiao come to Jiangning at the end." Cao Yi seemed to be asking Yu Youwei in the end, and seemed to be asking himself again.
Yu Youwei covered her mouth and laughed softly when she heard this, Cao Yi looked at her puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" What's so funny about this? ”
"No ......" Yu Youwei still covered her mouth and smiled, even Jin'er was the same, with a strong face, obviously holding back a smile.
"Childe, after you and your father-in-law entered the study, the eldest mother had already told me, saying that the father-in-law must have secretly handed over the letter to Senior Brother Fei in the study and asked you to bring ......it over," Yu Youwei controlled her smile and whispered.
"This ...... Mrs. Qin, how did she know? Cao Yi asked puzzled.
"This ...... At that time, I also asked the eldest mother, but the eldest mother said that he and his father-in-law have been old husbands and wives for more than 40 years, and what the father-in-law was thinking in his heart, you can guess it by looking at his expression and movements, saying that when the father-in-law asked you to accompany him into the study, she guessed it, but the mother told us that in the past few days, he found that he had no longer resented Brother Fei in his heart, and she also felt that this matter should be over. Yu Youwei continued.
Cao Yi nodded and stopped talking, and Yu Youwei was also looking at Cao Yi's face with dementia at this time, but she was thinking in her heart: "I don't know if my son and I will have this tacit understanding in the future......"
When Cao Yi returned to Cao's mansion, he deliberately went to Sikong Ye's courtyard and found that the study inside was lit up.
"Oh, Sister Youyi, are you reminiscing?" When Cao Yi entered the study, he found Sikong Youyi reciting the Analects seriously.
Sikong Youyi put down the books in his hand and showed a sweet smile to Cao Yi, in the past few days, because Yu Youwei has been living in Lu Mansion, so Sikong Youyi has not gone to Zuixian Building to learn dance and singing in the past few days.
After graduating from school in Jiangning Mansion, they came back with their brother, although Cao Yi and they didn't eat lunch and dinner much in Cao's Mansion, but there are still special cooks in Cao's Mansion, after all, there are dozens of maids, waitresses and old mothers in Caofu, these people also want to eat, so naturally they have to be accompanied by a chef.
However, Sikong Ye basically didn't go to Zuixianlou to eat before, so Cao Yi and Red Sleeves arranged for the people of Cao Mansion, if Sikong Ye came back, they would arrange for the cook to prepare dinner for Sikong Yan and Sikong Youyi, the two siblings.
"Huh? Today Cheng Gong talked about the "Analects", and I didn't understand some of the meanings, so I asked my brother to re-explain them to me, and after I understood the meaning, I read them a few more times, and I found that I could slowly understand them. ”
Cao Yi smiled: "Well, okay, keep it up, Youyi, you will succeed sooner or later!" ”
Sikong Youyi nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Cao, I will definitely not disappoint you." ”
