Although it is autumn on this day, it is still in the dog days. As the saying goes, after autumn, the heat dies, the summer heat does not fade, but it is the time when the heat wave is high, on the West Lake, it seems to be steaming up a layer of water vapor, but fortunately, the water is not as good as the land, when the wind blows into the boat, it is still relatively cool, and the boats open the windows, pull up the veil, and slowly swim on the lake.

The people who can receive invitations to the party today are basically people with family backgrounds, and even if there are relatively poor people, they are usually well-traveled literati. When on the shore, I saw people greeting each other, the time was still early, the weather was hot in the afternoon, and there were not many people who came at this time, but after a while, the boats were on the lake one after another, and the scale of the gathering could be seen.

At this time, although it is not suitable for swimming in the lake in the middle of the summer afternoon, it is enough to see the prosperity of Hangzhou as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, occasionally you can see two boats approaching each other, and the people on the boat are all in the same circle of people, and they know each other, and there are a lot.

The weather is a little hot, and it is not yet suitable to dock and disembark, and the people who arrive early would rather float on the lake for a while, and occasionally see people they know, 1 small boat will go to the big boat, because many people are coming together, although the big party has not been opened, 1 small party has been carried out on the painting boat, or two or three rich people, or three or five scholars, talking and laughing, pointing out the country. There are also ships of the Wude Army stationed in the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and some soldiers have been transported to Xiaoyingzhou to clear the field and station, waiting for the arrival of the Hangzhou prefect and others.

Because some merchants and poets brought their families, the women in the Qinglou could not be invited blatantly. However, except for the Chen family, which was originally such a business, there were two huākui on the huā fang, and the rest wanted to go to the island to participate, and there was a way to settle down. Some talented scholars did not bring companions, and if they had good friends, they also invited confidantes in the Qinglou to accompany them as sī people, but these people had to form their own circles, and it was quite difficult to mix with those who brought their families.

The ladies of these people's families may also like to listen to the stories of talented and beautiful women on weekdays, but once they see it with their own eyes, they will naturally be displeased and spontaneously resist ridicule. The distinction between the two sides is also one of the interesting things on this kind of occasion, and it is always difficult to integrate the romantic and warm family affairs.

When Lou's big boat came, the weather was already a little cooler. At this time, the people on the boat were mainly Lou Jinlin, Lou Shuwan, and Lou Shuheng, and his eldest son Lou Shuwang was not in Hangzhou at this time. Originally, Lou Shuwan's husband Song Zhiqian also followed all the way, and a few friends greeted him, and Lou Jinlin said: "Shu Wan and Zhiqian went over to get together with friends." "At home, Lou Lin seems to be gentle when he speaks, but when the two of them are mentioned, Lou Shuwan's name is always in front and Song Zhiqian's name is in the back, and the status of the son-in-law is already low, so no one thinks it is strange.

Song Zhiqian was originally a little afraid of this father-in-law, but when he heard this, it was like an amnesty, but Lou Shuwan rubbed his forehead: "It's too hot at noon, I'm a little sleepy, let's go over." Song Zhiqian hesitated for a while, and finally was told to change the boat and go over to walk with a few friends.

In addition to the three most important members of the Lou family, there are also several members of the Lou family who are following at this time, mainly because Lou Jinlin has always cultivated to be the right-hand man of his children, and this time he also brought them out to recognize people and see the world.

Fang was on the shore, and Lou Lin said hello to a local wealthy businessman, at this time the boat left the shore, and after a while, someone called loudly and came by boat. The Lou family has hands and eyes in Hangzhou, although it is not as first-class as the Qian family, but the accumulation of several generations is only a line of difference, which should not be underestimated

So there were a lot of people who came to visit, and some scholars came to say hello to Lou Shuheng.

Among the several children of the Lou family, although Lou Shuheng seems to be a lazy huāhuā son, he is also very good at poetry and literature, and he was also known as a prodigy in Hangzhou when he was a child. He had a good talent, but he didn't work hard later, but he also had some achievements, and he was the child of the Lou family, and he was deeply loved by his father.

As an adult, he is more interested in women than poetry, with the family's money and power, even if he doesn't talk about poetry and blatant deception, picking up girls is also simple, and later his father has an opinion, he occasionally manages the business, smart people do things, and there are capable people in the family to assist, it is also smooth sailing. Since then, in the eyes of everyone, he has become a celebrity who is indifferent, does not write poems and lyrics, and is also considered a great talent, and he is also very good at business, so he is naturally a symbol of the omnipotence of the capable. , The accumulation of this kind of reputation is relatively orthodox, compared to Ning Yi's reputation in Jiangning, he can also write poems and calculate people, but he is relatively low-key, and with the identity of his son-in-law, it makes people subconsciously feel a little bitter. If Lou Shuheng is the growth history of the pride of the sky, Ning Yi's reputation is a bit like the history of struggle at the grassroots level.

There were some people sitting in the boat, eating cold drinks, and after a while, some people talked about the Su family, mainly because they heard that the Su family and the Lou family still had some relationship.

"I just saw it over there, it seems to be the Su family's small painting boat passing over from the lake, I took a look, there are not many people moving on it, and the people on the boat seem to have fallen asleep on their stomachs, Ha Lu Ha ,........." "In this kind of weather, the lake is indeed a good place to take a nap, and those Su family members will really enjoy it."

"The two sons of the Su family saw it......,......... To say that these two are also talents,

It's just that I don't know why the Su family actually let a woman take power, can Brother Lou know about this matter? The person who spoke was also a cloth merchant surnamed Luo in Hangzhou, and asked curiously, but Lou Jinlin smiled: "The daughter of the old man in the past, she came to visit me once, just to say that she is familiar, but it is the little girl Shu Wan who has more contact with her." Lao Luo, if you are curious, you might as well ask Shu Wan, I don't know very well. Lou Shuwan, who said that she was sleepy before, was originally standing behind her father as a huā bottle, but when the audience talked about it, she also smiled slightly, and she poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged man surnamed Na Luo in the past: "The Su family was originally in Jiangning, and I didn't inquire too much about the things over there, but my Tan'er sister is a really capable person, and my sister can't compare to her...... Well, does Uncle Luo Shi know Luo Tian? The man nodded: "Naturally, he knows that his cotton is of the highest quality in Suzhou and Hangzhou, why did his niece ask about this?" ”

"There is already a business on the side of Luo Tian and Tan'er, Uncle Luo Shi should have heard about it, right?" The businessman surnamed Luo thought for a while: "In the past two days, I did hear that there was a small business, but there were not many contacts.

To be honest, Na Luo Tian is notoriously stubborn, although it is only a small dealing, but when he thinks about it at this time, he doesn't know how Miss Na Su persuaded the other party. Isn't the niece of the world knowing? Lou Shuwan smiled. The Su family did not cause much discussion in Hangzhou, and when everyone chatted at this time, it was just a conversation after dinner, but Lou Shuwan was both beautiful and had a sweet smile, at this time, everyone had been aroused by her curiosity, and they couldn't help but wait for her next, Lou Shuwan turned around beautifully with the teapot: "I really know the inside story." That Luo Tian is stubborn in business, but there is an extremely favored wife by his side, his wife was the daughter of the official eunuch family, and later had a relationship with Luo Tian, and had a relationship, Luo Tian wanted to marry her, but it took a lot of effort. It's just that in the past few years, his wife has become more and more depressed, sick, and sometimes can't eat, she has a heart disease, but she can't cure it after inviting many doctors, and my Tan'er sister is in a relationship with Luo Tian through her. ”

"Oh?" The merchant surnamed Luo frowned. Among the people present, another person was surprised and said: "I also have the same thing about Luo Tian's wife that Miss Lou said, to be honest, many people want to have some relationship with the Luo family, and they have also thought of this, and they have asked the doctor to hand over a lot of prescriptions, but it has never worked." What kind of method did Miss Su use, could it be that she cured Mrs. Luo? ”

"My Tan'er sister sent something to me." Lou Shuwan turned around and smiled, stretching out a finger, "I can't be very familiar with this thing, but Uncle Luo Shi must be very familiar, Uncle Luo Shi, do you want to guess?" ”

The merchant thought for a long time and said with a smile: "Don't sell your niece, I can't guess this." Lou Shuwan lowered her eyes, and a glimmer of memory and contemplation flashed in her eyes: "She sent it, a box of silkworms... Well, that's it. The woman nodded and walked towards her father, everyone was stunned for a moment, and for a while they didn't quite understand what they were talking about, silkworm? Golden Silkworm or Silver Silkworm? After a few moments, a discussion began. Lou Lin was also frowning at this time, wanting to speak, Lou Shuheng thought for a while, but he spoke first: "1 little sister, don't buy Guanzi, what a box of silkworms, what's going on?" Lou Shuwan raised her eyebrows at this time, looked at her brother, and her voice became clear: "I'm also strange, I only heard the Luo family and Tan'er talk about some business in the past two days." Later, I asked carefully, and what Sister Tan'er sent over was just a box of silkworms, but there were only a few of them, and they were packed in a wooden box, covered with gauze, and the box was just visible, but the silkworms inside were very cute. Mrs. Na Luo was originally a young lady, and she had never been exposed to these things, and when she saw the silkworm gnawing on mulberry leaves, she felt pity. Later, Tan'er's sister told her that there was a mulberry tree on the street outside Luo's house, and Mrs. Na Luo now went out every day to pick mulberry leaves to feed the silkworms, and she was happy to eat, and she was willing to go out of the yard. Luo Tian originally wanted to transplant a mulberry tree into his wife's yard, but Tan'er's sister stopped her, so she also made a business. That's it. She said it crisply this time, and Lou Shuheng and the others were stunned for a long time after hearing it. Lou Lin was also stunned for a while, and then said in a low voice: "If this is the case, you Tan'er girl, it's really not simple" Lou Shuwan nodded, in fact, she just said it was suspenseful, and at this time, it was crisp and simple, as if there was a bit of honor, but at this time, the thoughts in her heart were not above this, but in some things that were kept in her heart. ,

She remembered that Su Tan'erfu had only come to Hangzhou not long ago, and she had set up a yard and started to visit one family after another. Luo Tian collected some information and asked her about the other party, and Lou Shuwan said about Mrs. Luo at that time. Luo Tian's love is relatively weird, and it is difficult to have a relationship with him, so there are not many competitors, this is the reason why Su Tan'er is interested in this, but Lou Shuwan also understands that Mrs. Luo's side is basically incomprehensible, and she doesn't know much about Luo Tian, so she just mentions it in passing.

I remember that at that time, it was Su Tan'er's strange husband Ning Yi, who was passing by the living room, accompanied by for a while, drank a few sips of tea, listened to her, and asked, "Miss the daughter of the official family?" Then he said casually: "Then send the box silkworm." ，… At that time, she and Su Tan'er were also puzzled, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

She still remembered the understatement when the man said that, at that time, Ning Liheng really couldn't see that he was powerful, he even liked martial arts, and he didn't know what he did at that time, and he left after drinking tea. She didn't take this matter to heart from beginning to end, until two days ago, when she suddenly heard that Su Tan'er and Luo Tian had a business, she inquired for a while, and then until today, she was thinking about that sentence.

The man waved his hand: "Then send the silkworm box......" "Send the silkworm box......"

God, they really sent a box of silkworms......

While we were discussing, on the side of the ship, someone was talking, and Qian Xiwen Qian's painting boat leaned over to this side...@.
