Compared with the coziness and leisure in the Qingxue Courtyard, the Rongyue House is nervous and uneasy.

"Madam, don't hurt yourself in anger."

Qian shook his head solemnly, "I miscalculated." Unexpectedly, the general's mansion actually decided to postpone the marriage contract and wait for the five girls to finish the exam before discussing the marriage. I didn't expect the master to be so concerned about this matter. ”

Mama Lin also became depressed, "Fifth Miss is really lucky. ”

Qian's eyebrows tightened, and the speed of his speech became much faster: "I thought that at most, the four girls would marry the five girls, and the four girls were easier to handle than the five girls, and it was a good thing for her to marry them." I didn't expect this second son to be in the hands of the five girls! The old man has to talk about the five girls' homework before going to bed tonight, and he can't stop all day long. ”

Mama Lin had no choice but to persuade: "There is still a distance before the fifth miss exam, and there must be other opportunities among them." Madame, don't mess up! ”

Qian took a deep breath and slowly suppressed his anger: "You must take a good look at Qinqin." If Qinqin disturbed the preparation of Xiaoxiang Academy, the master would be angry. I don't dare bet on ......"

"The old slave understands that the old slave will take care of the little lady seriously."

Qian rubbed his temples and waved his hand for Mama Lin to retreat.

As soon as Mama Lin came out of the house, she saw Li Jiangqin hidden behind the pillar. The sadness on his face dissipated, and the smile was revealed.

"Is the little lady here to find Madame?"

Li Jiangqin leaned behind the pillar and shook his poked head.

"What is the little lady here for?"

Li Jiangqin walked out cautiously, and looked at Rongyueju over Mama Lin. Li Jiangqin beckoned Mama Lin to squat down, and then she attached herself to Mama Lin's ear and said, "What are Mama and A-Niang whispering?" ”

"I didn't say anything whispered. The lady came to ask the old slave if the little lady had been obedient in the past two days. ”

"Mama lied." Li Jiangqin pouted unhappily, "I know that Mama is talking to A-Niang about the fifth sister's family." If my sister can't get married in the exam, then what should I do? ”

Mama Lin was shocked and quickly turned around to look around. Fortunately, there was no one else nearby, and Mama Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little Miss, this kind of thing can't be mentioned again! Saying this kind of thing will make the old lady unhappy, our little lady is the most obedient and obedient. ”

Three days later, Li Jiangwei drove to Pingyang Lane in a car, and Lixin followed as a first-class maid.

Pingyang Lane is not a street where nobles gather, and all the officials who live here are officials with lower grades without titles. At first, when the family heard that she was going to Pingyang Lane, they refused. Later, I heard that it was Miss Wu's bureau that was saved, so she was willing to let her out.

Today's Wu Shilu is wearing a wide-sleeved jujube red and gold peony Luo silk skirt, and Situ Ran is wearing a straight-sleeved blue flower and bird shirt skirt.

Before they entered the owner's house, several girls heard the meow and looked around for the cat's traces.

"Did you see the cat?" Wu Shilu asked.

Situ Ran replied, "No." ”

Li Jiangwei herself also looked around to find the cat, but the cat didn't come, but the owner's house came.

Yang Shiling bowed down to a few noble ladies in a regular manner. was about to say hello, when Wu Shilu asked, "Where is your cat?" ”

Yang Shiling not only didn't feel offended by Wu Shilu's behavior, but on the contrary, he was very happy, and said proudly: "How could my cat go out so aggressively?" If you want to see it, follow me! ”

Yang Shiling and Wu Shilu hit it off, and the two walked directly to the inner courtyard. Situ Ran smiled and beckoned the other sisters to follow.

The courtyard of the Yang family's two entrances is much worse than that of Wu Mansion and Anyuan Bo's Mansion. The decoration of Yang's mansion is simple, and there are not many slaves, so at first glance it is a family that has just arrived in the capital and does not have much foundation.

But he has a cat!

Under the leadership of Yang Shiling, several people finally saw the trace of the cat. It was hot and a few cats nested in the shade of the corner. The most eye-catching is the big orange cat, everyone's eyes moved down, and they saw a few little guys lying next to the big orange cat's round body.

One of the orange kittens left the mother's arms tremblingly, its eyes half-open, and it walked towards Wu Shilu with unsteady steps. After taking two or three steps, he fell down again. It tilted its head, its eyes suddenly widened, and its blue and translucent eyes stared straight at Wu Shilu.

"Meow."

The milky voice screamed, directly poking Wu Shilu's heart. She turned around, and her round brown eyes met Yang Shiling's dull and confused eyes.

"Lord Yang, can I take it home!"

"Yes."

Yang Shiling smiled shyly, "Originally, I also planned to find a home for these little guys, and it would be best if you were willing to adopt." ”

Wu Shilu squatted down and slowly approached the little orange cat. I saw the little orange cat meow, and moved to Wu Shilu's side little by little with not very skillful steps.

"This cat is really spiritual." Li Jiangwei saw it and was very envious, "It's a pity that I don't have cats at home." ”

"Then you can see that I am holding me beautifully."

Situ Ran smiled, "I also have a cat, so I can't get sun."

"But this cat is a little small, why don't you stay and let the big cat take it again?"

Wu Shilu nodded approvingly and said, "Well, it's a little smaller." After saying this, Wu Shilu smiled at Yang Shiling and said, "Is it okay?" ”

"If you want this one, I'll leave it for you. It's hot outside, so let's come with me. ”

Yang Shiling is a man after all, and of course he will not let a few girls into his room. He led everyone to the central hall, beckoned the girls to sit down, and then lifted the teapot himself and poured tea for everyone.

"There is no good tea reception in the cold house, please forgive me."

Yang Shiling sent the tea cups to the girl one by one. The color of the tea soup in this teacup is not strong, Li Jiangwei picked it up and asked, the fragrance is very light, and it tastes only better than white water.

"We're not here to ask for tea." Wu Shilu said with a smile.

After a few people chatted a little, a maid came in with a food box. Yang Shiling smiled and took the food box and opened it, and put the snacks in the food box on the table. Wu Shilu looked at these delicate dim sums, his eyes lit up.

"It's a dim sum from the Takeyin Pavilion!"

Li Jiangwei listened carefully and looked at it carefully, and saw the lotus crisp that she had tasted in the Zhuyin Pavilion before.

"I've long heard that Miss Wu likes the dim sum of the Zhuyin Pavilion, and it seems that this rumor is true."

While they were chatting, Li Jiangwei curiously probed the furnishings in the house. The furnishings of this Yang Mansion are different from others.

Like a case, most families put porcelain on it, but on the case in the middle hall of Yang's mansion is a wooden cat statue. There is no calligraphy screen on the wall, but a wide fabric.

"Lord Yang." Li Jiangwei shouted, "Can I ask what is hanging on this wall?" ”

Following Li Jiangwei's guidance, everyone's eyes fell on the fabric. Yang Shiling looked at it, smiled slightly, and explained: "It was a cloth painting that my mother knitted for me before leaving. ”

Wu Shilu said to Li Jiangwei on the side: "Lord Yang was the last Tanhua, and he only stayed here after serving in Beijing. ”

"Miss Wu knows very well."

This Tanhua is sometimes more rare than the champion, after all, in addition to being talented and capable, Tanhua is also higher than other students in the same period. Wheat-colored complexion with just the right amount of shape. Such a heroic young man captured the hearts of many girls' families at that time.

The most important thing is that he is still young. Who doesn't love a young, handsome and talented teenager?

"Although I was young three years ago, I might as well have heard about Lord Yang's anecdote. But let me ask, why is Lord Yang still undecided? ”

"I think Miss Wu should have heard that my ancestral home is Fuyang."

Fuyang refers to Fuyang County, and this place name is also used in later generations. Li Jiangwei also had online friends in Fuyang County, and she knew some different customs in Fuyang County and other places in chatting with them.

"Fuyang is not like Shangjing, the age of marriage is late, and I have no plans to get married."

"Oh~ I see." Wu Shilu nodded knowingly.

Li Jiangwei looked at the cat on the case curiously and asked, "Why do you have a cat on the case?" ”

"That's it." Yang Shiling turned his head to look at the cat on the case, and said with a smile: "That's our custom in Fuyang. We Fuyang people regard cats as sacred beasts and believe that cats can protect themselves. Speaking of which, Fuyang has the most cats in the whole state. ”

In the previous dynasty, Fuyang was still the country of Fuya, and the country of Fuya was ruled by the Um. It is only a hundred years old to summarize Shenzhou, and many customs are far from those of other counties.

"Actually, my ancestors are also from Fuyang." Situ Ran said with a smile: "My cat ancestor is also from Fuyang, but it has been raised for several generations, and now it is a complete Beijing cat." ”

"The cats in the capital have more or less Fuyang blood." Yang Shiling said: "By the way, has Miss Wu ever had a cat before?" ”

Wu Shilu was stunned and shook his head. Seeing this, Yang Shiling chatted with Wu Shilu about the things that need to be paid attention to when raising cats. After some advice, several people talked about some cultural customs in Fuyang. This small gathering can be regarded as a very happy conversation.
