211 Departure from Beijing
Afterwards, Jin Niang asked Pian Pian why she came up with a name so quickly, and Pian Pian was quite complacent, and said that when she saw Qiu Yu for the first time, she felt that she looked a little similar to the sycamore next to her. She has sycamores here, so shouldn't the next one be called Qiuyu? Wutong autumn rain, listening to it is very meaningful, it seems that she, the owner of the name, is very literate.
Jin Niang: ......
The pair of sisters were picked away by Changle. The two followed the surname of the deceased master, and they were called Wen Qing and Wen Hua, Changle felt that this name had passed, so he didn't change it for the two.
The pair of youngest, non-kung fu girls gave Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er wanted to follow the example of the little aunt and change the names of the two, so they were called Little Bug and Little Bird, which matched her name very well.
But this name is too stumbling, not only was it opposed by Jinniang, but also provoked ridicule from Pianpian and Changle. Xiao Yu'er was depressed, and finally had to resign herself to letting Jin Niang name the two little girls, so she simply followed the current solar terms and called the sting and the spring equinox.
Whether it is the autumn rain, or the Wenqing Wenhua, or even the stun and the spring equinox, they were all sent by Jin Niang to learn martial arts with their master. So Master Qi's place was visibly lively.
And with a little friend who learns, there is also a comparison object, not to mention that Pian Pian has added a little more effort to study, and is unwilling to fall behind, even Changle and Xiaoyuer are much more serious and hardworking than before.
Jin Niang secretly praised herself and felt that this was really good. It not only cultivates their master-servant relationship, but also stimulates the children's fighting spirit, which kills two birds with one stone.
……
Suqian and Mrs. Su turned around in mid-February, and Jin Niang and Xu Erlang got the news in advance, and went to the city gate with Li Hehui to meet them.
This made Suqian very happy, and he shouted that these two friends were not in vain.
Jin Niang secretly rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this, if she didn't come to pick them up, this friendship would be made of plastic? Tsk, it's really for nothing to raise children for them.
Speaking of children, Mrs. Su is thinking badly. Her slightly tired and thin cheeks were flushed with worry and longing, and she took Jinniang's hand to thank her a lot, and then asked her how the two children were doing.
In fact, she knew the situation of Su Xuan and Su Zheng, after all, the two children would write a letter to her every few days. And in order to reassure their husband and wife, Jin Niang will also write a letter of peace every once in a while, and explain the two of them recently.
In this way, Su Qian and Mrs. Su knew what their two sons were doing.
But before I saw them in person, I still couldn't let go of it, and I was always worried.
Jin Niang saw that Mrs. Su hadn't stretched her brows so far, so she laughed at her, "Since you miss your son so much, then earlier I said to inform the two of you about your return and let them pick you up, but you still refused." ”
Mrs. Su glared at Jin Niang in a daze, "Isn't this worried that it will disturb their minds and make them unable to concentrate on their studies." ”
When Jin Niang heard this, she sighed in her heart, being a parent is all about the same mind, and she wants her child to be able to do everything smoothly, and there is nothing uncomfortable. If it were possible, they would not even like to arrange everything from now on until they die of old age.
Su Qian and Mrs. Su were sent back to Su's house, and a time was set to pick up the wind and wash the dust for them, and Jin Niang returned to Xu's house. As for Xu Erlang and Li Hehui, they still have to go to the Yamen. I also asked for leave to greet Suqian before, and I have to go back now.
Several people parted ways, and Jin Niang waved at Xu Erlang and got into the carriage.
The car was driven by Tonghe, and I originally went directly to my home in a carriage, but I didn't hear Jinniang say coldly, "Go to Suzaku Street and go around, I'll buy some things." ”
Tonghe answered, and pulled the reins to make the horse turn in a different direction and go to Suzaku Street.
In the carriage, Qinghe handed a cup of warm tea to Jinniang, and asked her curiously, "What does Madame want to buy?" ”
Jin Niang didn't know what to buy, but it was difficult for her to make a trip, so she went back like this, and she always felt that she had wasted this stolen good spring. Thinking about it, she hadn't walked on the street for so long, so she just thought about it, and wanted to go around. As for buying things...... Buy what you see.
As soon as Jin Niang said this, Qinghe and Qingsui pursed their lips and laughed. The two girls have been serving by Jinniang's side for a long time, and they are bold, and they dare to tease Jinniang at this moment, "I think Madame is very depressed at home, and I want to take advantage of the fact that the master doesn't know to let off the wind outside." ”
Jin Niang's eyes were full of smiles, but she pretended to be angry on her face, "What, I can't go out for a walk?" I'm not a prisoner of the Xu family, and I have to stay in the house all day and can't move, can't I even have this freedom to go out? ”
The two girls naturally laughed and denied, and at the same time laughed and teased Jinniang happy.
The carriage stopped on Suzaku Street, and Jin Niang landed in front of a shop called Zhu Cuige.
Xu Erlang likes to buy her jewelry, and most of the jewelry he chooses, whether it is a hairpin ring, bracelet, hairpin, or bracelet step drop earrings, is produced by this shop. Not to mention, Jin Niang still likes the style of jewelry here, so it is difficult to come out this time, and I also came to see if there are any new goods.
Zhu Cui Pavilion is the premier jewelry shop in Beijing, with a large audience and many customers.
As soon as Jin Niang entered the door, she saw that there were at least more than ten people crowded inside, and she was a little discouraged.
But they all walked to the front, and then exited, wasn't it a trip for nothing, so Jin Niang continued to walk in.
When I got closer, I found that although there were many people here, there were only three people who looked like masters, and the rest were all maids and women who came out.
And one of the three master-like people said that the mother and daughter were not mother and daughter, because the age difference between the two did not seem to be that big. But if they are not mother and daughter, they are about seventeen or eight years old, and they call another person "Ah Niang".
This scene is quite strange, but thinking of the other two possibilities, Jin Niang is not surprised. Is it possible that you can't allow other people's aunts to maintain it well, looking young? Is it possible that people are not allowed to be stepmothers?
Thinking of this, Jin Niang's gaze did not linger on these two people, but looked at the other person.
It was a slender woman with a slightly tall figure. She stood with her back to Jin Niang, Jin Niang couldn't see her appearance clearly, but just looking at her grace, she inexplicably felt that this woman should be a beautiful woman. And when she looked at her back carefully, it was still a little familiar.
The woman sensitively noticed the look behind her, and Shure turned her head. The two looked at each other, and a look of surprise flashed in each other's eyes.
"Mrs. Xu."
"Miss Seven."
The woman in front of her with a beautiful face, outstanding posture, and proper appearance is not the seventh lady of Taifu Mansion.
Jin Niang couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw people, "I didn't expect to see acquaintances on a trip, but I didn't come out in vain." ”
Miss Seven also pinched the handkerchief, pursed her lips and smiled, "I am also ecstatic to see Mrs. Xu again before leaving Beijing." ”
Jin Niang was surprised, but this was obviously not the place to speak, so she didn't ask anything.
Miss Seven seemed to have the heart to chat with her more, so she asked the girl in the lobby who was in charge of entertaining the guests to lead them to the second floor.
There were many small boxes on the second floor of Zhucui Pavilion, and when Jin Niang and Miss Seven walked through them, they could still hear some people talking in some of the boxes. From time to time, you can still hear some voices introducing jewelry, and it is not difficult to imagine that this is a place dedicated to the ladies of the powerful families.
"It's a good place." Jin Niang looked around and admired, "Whether it's talking or resting, I just want to try to wear jewelry, and I don't have to worry about not having a mirror." "No, in this small box, there are several mirrors. In addition to a small desk mirror on the table, there are two small mirrors in hand, and there is a mirror the size of a dressing mirror against the wall at the door.
Jin Niang sighed again in her heart, this service is really thoughtful, no wonder Zhu Cuige has made such a big reputation in the capital, just because of the thoughtfulness of this service, who will get rich if people don't get rich?
Jin Niang was so impressed, Miss Seven smiled and said, "I often come here, in addition to their good jewelry, the service is indeed thoughtful, and it is one of the most famous in the capital." In addition, the unique Lu'an melon slices in their shop also have a unique flavor, and Mrs. Xu can have a drink and taste it later. ”
Jin Niang said, "If you can get Miss Seven's recommendation, it must be bad, then I will definitely have two more drinks later." ”
Miss Seven laughed again when she heard this.
The two sat down on the seats, and the little maid graciously brought tea. Not to mention, when this tea is near, Jin Niang smells a different fragrance. Take a sip, the entrance is slightly bitter, but then there is a clear sweetness, which is really different from the Lu'an melon slices at home.
But it's really delicious.
Jin Niang praised a few words, and Miss Seven laughed again when she heard this. After that, I talked to Jin Niang about the production of these Lu'an melon slices. She was also bored by herself, and she felt that she was still two points worse than the melon slices here, so, "It must be that I missed it, or there are still some things that need to be paid attention to when making Lu'an melon slices here, but I didn't expect it." ”
Jin Niang didn't expect that this seventh lady would still have such leisure and elegance, and she still had time to imitate making tea by herself. She won't have this kind of thinking for a hundred years. Because she's lazy, and because she's a layman.
Tea, as long as she can eat it, she really can't eat it good or bad, and she can't tell the truth.
So, let's not mention these elegant things.
Miss Seven seemed to see her embarrassment, and then she didn't talk to Jinniang about tea making, but talked about the new jewelry launched by Zhu Cuige this month.
Speaking of the new jewelry, I can't help but talk about the fact that Miss Seven said that she was going to leave Beijing when she was in the hall before.
Jin Niang had heard that Miss Seven was leaving Beijing earlier, and there was no movement for a long time, and she thought that Miss Seven couldn't bear to be kept by her family and continued to stay here. Clinker, this is really going to leave Beijing.
Miss Seven nodded, "I'm going to my aunt's house in the northwest and stay with my aunt for a while." Of course, this is not the main purpose, the main thing is that since she walked out of the house again, there have been rumors everywhere in the capital about her blind date looking for a husband.
When she is old, she really should look at each other. But those people's flattering faces made her always feel diaphragm in her eyes, and she couldn't pick out the good ones for a while, so she simply left for a while and came back when her heat cooled.
This is what Miss Seven thinks in her heart, just talk to her family, but it's not good to mention it to Jinniang more.
But Jin Niang is also a delicate mind, how can she not think about it if Miss Seven wants to leave Beijing? After thinking about it a lot, and thinking about her current situation, Jin Niang felt that it was not a bad thing for Miss Seven to leave this place of right and wrong temporarily.
When her affairs are completely cold, it is good for her to come back and say goodbye.
It's just that if you wait another two years, Miss Seven will be older, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to say goodbye at that time, right?
But isn't there an old saying, isn't it too late to order a good meal? So just wait, maybe Miss Seven's wishful son-in-law is waiting behind.
She has such an outstanding character and such a good appearance, she should be matched with a husband who is in love.
Thinking about it this way, it is a good thing for Miss Seven to leave Beijing. The melancholy in Jin Niang's heart also dissipated, and she happily toasted Miss Seven with a cup of tea, wishing her a smooth journey and her wishes come true.
Miss Seven smiled, "Where did your wishes come true, Mrs. Xu really likes to joke." ”
With that said, the smile in her eyes was even stronger.
After that, Miss Seven and Jin Niang said a few more words, and the two of them each selected a few pieces of jewelry, and gave each other a piece of jewelry as a farewell gift and dispersed with each other.
This scattering finger may not be seen for three or five years, so Jin Niang looked at the back of Miss Seven leaving and felt a little emotional.
It's rare for this little girl to be able to talk to her, but it's a pity that the two of them are a little different in identity, so it's not good to move around much. And now, I can't move around even if I want to.
Thinking of Miss Seven's long trip, Jin Niang thought uncontrollably, I don't know what happened to Xu Erlang about their departure from Beijing.
Speaking of Xu Erlang's release, she is still looking forward to it. It's just that the official positions outside are also a radish and a pit, but it's not easy to fill in.
That's it, think about doing so much, good things are grinding, she waits slowly.
It's a few days in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Yingtian Academy was on holiday, and several people from Chang'an came back from the academy.
Su Xuan and Su Zheng were going to follow the two of them into the carriage of Xufu, but before they could act, they heard someone calling them.
As soon as the two boys turned around, they saw Mrs. Su who had come to pick them up in person, and they jumped three feet high happily.
When Chang'an came back, he told Jin Niang about this, Changping shook his head and sighed, and also said that Su Xuan usually pretended to be very stable, but the eager appearance just now was like a monkey. As for the conquest...... Don't mention it.
Jin Niang nodded his finger, and Changping closed his mouth with a grin.
Chang'an also smiled when she saw this, "Aunt Su invited us to be guests at Sujia tomorrow, saying that they had come back for a few days, and the family was going to hold a small banquet, so she specially invited our whole family to come over, and I want to thank us for entertaining Suxuan and Suzheng these days." Auntie, did Aunt Su send us an invitation? ”
"Yes, that's not, it's on the table." Jin Niang smiled, "Your aunt invited the juggling team, the storytelling team, and specially set a first-class banquet from Wangxian Tower for bloodletting, so I am ready to treat you." ”
