306 Learning
couldn't bear Jin Niang's coquettishness, Xu Erlang took the lead in opening Mohe's letter.
Mohe's letter first said two sentences about the health of Xu's father and mother in Beijing, Mr. Xia and Mr. Chu have been doing well recently, and there is nothing wrong with Young Master Changping and Young Master Qing'er and Miss Pianpian in Chang'an. After mentioning all of this, Mo He briefly said the story of Pianpian and Li Hehui's marriage.
In fact, Mohe really knows a lot more than outsiders, because he knows that Master Li likes the girl, and he will definitely plan the family affairs with the Xu Mansion. Therefore, Mohe sent someone to the Zhuangjun Wangfu in advance to keep an eye on the movement over there.
It's not bad, and soon there will be a receipt, that is, Li Hehui and the host of Daming Temple in the capital have obviously more contact.
What kind of relationship is the relationship between the two, and what kind of reason are they familiar with, and why the host of the Dayuan Temple was persuaded by Li Hehui, these Mohe don't know. But what he knew was that Li Hehui didn't know who hinted at the old lady, and the old lady had the idea of marrying her grandson.
This thought is not based on nothing, and if you calculate it carefully, the princess of the old county has long had this thought. In order to prevent outsiders from gossiping, there has been no action.
But the fact that the grandson is too bumpy, saying that one good girl after another is either ruthless with each other, or the girl's family only regards him as an elder brother, and there is also a girl who is interested in someone and doesn't want to live with him; No matter how bad it is, he is worried that his situation will implicate them, and after marrying into the palace, he will not be liked by the princess of the county, and his life will be sad.
The girl who can be favored by the princess of the old county has no bad family background and appearance. People can also choose their husbands arbitrarily, but there is no need to marry to the Zhuangjun Mansion to be wronged.
As a result, the princess of the old county took a fancy to her, and people were unstable. If the princess of the old county doesn't like it, then don't mention it.
Therefore, Li Hehui's family affairs are really very difficult.
The princess of the old county is reasonable, and feels that although there are some problems in the attitude of the girl, the bigger problem should be in the child's life, so as soon as she is "mentioned", the desire to go to the temple to ask is even stronger.
According to Li Hehui's original plan, let the princess of Laojun ask about his fate, and came to the conclusion that his "Hongluan Star moves this year, and the destined person is in the northwest" is one of them, and the other is to let Pian Pian and Xu Mu go to worship Buddha on this day, and the two parties will be recommended by the host. There is a host threading the needle in the middle, I am afraid that the princess of the old county will be because this is the Bodhisattva's intention to guide something, and the rest of the matter will be logical.
But it was such a coincidence that the two parties had not yet met at the temple, but on the path leading to the temple.
In order to show her sincerity, the princess of the old county simply took a few maids and women to walk up. Pian Pian and Mother Xu are younger than the old man, and they can walk much faster, so even if the princess of the old county set off many times earlier than them, they gradually caught up.
It was also a coincidence that the princess of the old county was so frightened that she almost broke her foot when she saw a snake, and she happened to walk behind the side, and saw it in time to help her.
Not only that, Pian Pian has seen a lot of things in Changle, and she can also use some medical skills. So when the old princess couldn't walk in pain, she drove the ducks to the shelves to show off her skills.
The result can be imagined, the princess of the old county likes this girl's temperament and appearance, and she is grateful for being rescued, and her perception of Pianpian is getting better and better. The two talked a lot when they were massage, and the more they talked, the more they surrendered, and the princess of the old county almost directly accepted Pianpian as a goddaughter.
Pian Pian had never seen the princess of Laojun herself, but she only knew that Li Hehui asked her to come to the temple to worship the Buddha, and thought that he was going to have a private meeting with her here. She didn't think about this rich old lady at all about the identity of Li Hehui's grandmother, so she was very comfortable getting along. Everywhere you are free and behave appropriately, isn't it even more endearing.
It wasn't until people on both sides introduced each other that Pian Pian knew that this was Li Hehui's grandmother, and at that time she didn't understand what Li Hehui's plan was, she was a mallet.
But it's come this far, and you can't go back again. So he could only grit his teeth and pretend to be natural and continue to laugh with the old lady.
However, Pian Pian was a little embarrassed in her heart, so when she arrived at the temple, she used the excuse of accompanying her mother to incense and separated from the princess of the old county.
She actually had some premonitions at that time, and felt that this family affair was eighty percent done. As a result, a few days later, when someone really came to visit her, Xu's mother was overjoyed, and immediately called her over to ask if she agreed. She was so ashamed that she only left a sentence of "marriage matters, parents are in charge", and went back to the house in embarrassment.
…… That's how it happened. Although there were some surprises, the overall development was still in line with Li Hehui's plan, and the final result was quite proud, but it made people's hearts fall to the ground.
After reading the letter, Xu Erlang scolded Li Hehui in his heart.
This man doesn't know how many days he's been pondering this in his heart. The plan was good, and the implementation went smoothly. But his calculations of his mother and sister made him feel uncomfortable.
Xu Erlang was unhappy in his heart, and his face brought out a few points, Jin Niang sat beside him, and read the letter as well, she also knew what this man was thinking about at the moment.
But no matter what you think about, it's too late, it's a foregone conclusion, and it's so boring to dwell on these trivial things at this moment.
But you can't say this, otherwise Xu Erlang will have to sulk for two days.
Jin Niang followed Xu Erlang's wishes and said, "This Li Hehui looks like a human being, with a gentlemanly attitude, who knows that there are so many ghost tricks in his stomach." This person, if you really can't just look at the appearance, otherwise I'm afraid that I will be sold and I won't know the amount of money. ”
Xu Erlang glanced at her, and Jin Niang smiled at him flatteringly, "Okay, don't be angry." Either way, as long as the result is good. Li Hehui and Pianpian can also be regarded as lovers and eventually married. You are an elder brother, is it possible that you are not happy with your sister to marry a wishful husband. Okay, don't sulk anymore, if you really feel uncomfortable, it's a big deal to make two more stumbling blocks for Li Hehui in the marriage period, so that he can't marry a beauty so quickly. It can be regarded as revenge for his calculating mother and Pianpin, do you think this will be successful? ”
Xu Erlang snorted lightly and didn't say anything.
Jin Niang understood what he meant, and this matter was settled. But when you get married, heh, let's talk about it then.
Later, Xu Erlang opened Li Hehui's letter again, and it seemed that Jin Niang felt that if Li Hehui was a clever person, she was afraid that she would apologize to Xu Erlang in the letter, saying that she had offended her aunt, and everything was a last resort. She was too lazy to look at it, so she told the maid to see if the little masters were all busy, and they were ready to eat when they were done.
……
The days are so busy and busy, it seems that it is only a blink of an eye, and it has entered July.
In July, Jinniang received a letter from Changping, Chang'an, in which the two boys said that they would come to Hezhou again this year. See if your aunt needs something or not, if there is something you want to eat and use, write to them and tell them, they ...... If you use it, buy it directly. If it is eaten, then you can only ask a cook to send it to Hezhou.
When Jin Niang saw this letter, she was very happy for a long time.
When Xiao Yu'er, Brother Rong and Changle came over for lunch at noon, she said to the three of them, "Hurry up, if you have anything you want, write it down and inform your two brothers." Your brothers are all rich people, and they can't spend enough money, since they have the heart to be good money boys, then let's be good people and help them spend the gold and silver mountains. ”
Several people were in high spirits when they heard this.
Even Changle said happily, "That's good, I have a lot of medicinal materials I want that I haven't bought yet, so I just asked my brothers to bring me a little." "She doesn't have any psychological burden on Brother Pit. It's like my aunt said, my brothers are rich. They have their uncle's share in their hands, and the seven-story property of the family in the early days has been well taken care of by loyal servants in recent years, and the annual income is very rich. Except for a part of the silver, which was retained as working capital, the rest was reinvested, buying houses and land, and opening new shops. Money begets money, and profits roll, so the two elder brothers now have a very wide hand.
It's not too much to cheat them on a few dollars and let them buy something.
Xiao Yu'er thought for a while and said, "Hezhou is remote, the fashionable styles of clothes here are all passed from the capital, I'm afraid they are all outdated styles in the capital." I thought, since my brothers are not short of money, they might as well bring me some fashionable clothes and jewelry. I'm also a little girl, and I have to dress up, otherwise I will always be inferior when I compare with others, and I can't get over this face. ”
When Jin Niang and Changle heard this, they both ordered some small fish. What is this girl talking about?
Brother Rong also smiled and said, "I want a few good inkstones." I heard that the best inkstone is only available in the capital, so let the brothers bring two by the way when they come. That thing is small in size and doesn't take up space, so if my brothers want to buy me more, I don't have a problem. ”
Everyone in the room laughed, and Changle was also very happy, so she said, "You can't just ask for things for the three of us, and there are three and four and five." They are small, but they are almost able to speak. In this way, I made the decision for them, and asked the brothers to make a gold and ruby collar for each of them, which was a gift for the first birthday of the triplets. He added, "Anyway, it's not a few months before the triplets turn one, so I'm not sure they'll be there at that time." When people are not there, etiquette must not be missing. Not only can it be indispensable, but the etiquette must also be heavy. A gold and ruby collar is a good one, I think that's okay, what do you think? ”
Xiao Yu'er and Brother Rong nodded deeply, "We think it's okay." ”
Jin Niang held her stomach and smiled, and her stomach hurt.
Of these, she just started to say a word, but as a result, they not only took what she said seriously, but also calculated things even more. Seeing that Chang'an Changping came to Hezhou, he didn't clean up these little ones who had no conscience.
At the end of the year, I didn't want to give my brothers anything, and I racked my brains to deprive my brothers of their money. Whose younger siblings are like this, they are all thrown out, otherwise it will hurt your eyes if you see too much.
When Jin Niang was speechless, the three sisters and brothers over there were already ready to write a letter after lunch.
It was at this moment that they thought about what they wanted for Jinniang. Let her brothers give her a sable cloak. Jin Niang's body has almost recovered so far, but it is too cold in Hezhou in winter, and she is a chill, so she can not go out in winter. She also has a lot of cloaks, and she wears cloaks to protect herself from the cold when she goes out. But can your own be the same as the filial piety of the children? So I had to ask my brothers to send me a sable cloak.
By the way, let's get a cloak for my uncle, too. One purple and one black match well, and it looks extravagant, uncles and aunts must look good in them.
The letter here was quickly written and sent out.
Then whether it was Jin Niang or Changle, they didn't care about it.
The yard of Changping in Chang'an has always been cleaned up, and people don't say that they will clean it every day, but they will always pick it up every three or five times. Nowadays, whether it is sprinkling or arranging things, there are people who are worried.
However, in order to show their concern for their brothers, Changle and Xiao Yu'er would also go to their yard to have a look in addition to studying, or pick a vase to put over, cut a lotus flower to add color to the house, or pick a new freehand painting to hang on, so that the study room has more literati atmosphere.
Not only Changle and Xiaoyuer, but even Jin Niang specially told her subordinates to move out the beds used by several people last year to dry and re-sew.
She also asked a few boys to polish a silver gun as a greeting gift, for fear that the surprise of those boys would be sent to the sky.
The house was busy, and everyone arranged things in the yard when they saw the stitches. As for the rest of the time, there are still their respective schoolwork to complete.
Of course, Jin Niang has no schoolwork, but she has to go out to socialize. Sometimes I will take Xiaoyuer when I go out, sometimes I will take Changle, and if I can't do it, I will take Brother Rong.
As for who to bring each time, it depends on who is free among the three sisters and brothers.
Yes, the trip of the three of Changle is very busy. It was very, very difficult to take the time to accompany Jinniang to other people's banquets.
Xiao Yu'er is a year older, and she is more serious in her homework. Whether it is calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, chess and dance, or literature and history homework, or others, the little girl is interested in learning, and she spends several times more energy and patience than before to learn by heart.
Changle has now been allowed by Dr. Li to diagnose the patient's pulse. But she is young, and many patients are not convinced by her medical skills, and they are also worried that she still has omissions, so Dr. Li will revisit the patients she has treated. Whether it is in the pulse or in the medicine, give Changle some guidance.
Changle was completely immersed in it, and he was very absorbed in learning. Because of this, the lights in her and Xiaoyu'er's yard are often lit until late at night.
After hearing the maids talk about this, Jin Niang felt that it was inappropriate, so she specially called the two of them over and said the benefits of going to bed early and getting up early, and the two of them got rid of the problem.
But I went to bed early at night, and I got up early with it. Sometimes the bangzi of the fifth watch sounded, and Changle got up to recite the medical book.
She and Xiaoyuer share a yard, and no matter how small the movement is, the candlelight can't cover it. Xiao Yu'er woke up because of this, and felt that it was a sin to sleep again, so she followed the study.
Changle and Xiao Yu'er lead by example, and Brother Rong can't sleep even if he wants to. As a result, the sisters and brothers went to bed early and got up early every day, and gradually formed a pattern.
But Jinniang still feels bad.
