Chapter 41: The Gate of the Forest
Xie Jingyi returned to the small courtyard, quickly changed into civilian clothes, pushed open the window and took a deep breath, and the whole person became comfortable.
As the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels.
No matter how good Qingshan Village is, it is also a guest in the end. It's a pity that in her last life, until she died, she lived in the guest palace, and there was no home that really belonged to her.
She shook her head, quickly shook off this trace of emotion, moved out all kinds of paints, and still adjusted the color.
Qingping was boiling tea on the side, "The third lady just came back, don't you take a break?" Today, the lord is promoted, and the lady has to hold a family banquet at night, and the kitchen is busy. β
Xie Jingyi smiled, "During this period of time, has Shopkeeper Yao come?" β
Qingping exclaimed, put aside the fan that was fanning the fire, and took off the key on her waist, "Little lady didn't mention it, I forgot it, Shopkeeper Yao came and took a lot of silver tickets." At present, only our family in Hangzhou produces blue cloth, and the Zhai family dyeing cloth workshop has not stopped for the New Year, and there are many goods, and the big ships in the port are one after another, making a lot of money. β
Master Zhai was very happy, so he divided the red first. It is said that the people of the Li family in Jinxiufang have come back from Luoyang, and they have spent a lot of money to invite a flower board master to come back, and they have also started to sell flower cloth. This time, I'm afraid it will be the one with the most points, and I will divide it at the end of next time. β
Xie Jingyi nodded, these were all expected by her.
But her grandfather was more likely to seize the opportunity than she thought. Nothing is always on sale, and the first one eats meat, and the rest can only drink the soup slowly with him.
Qingping said, taking out a small wooden box, "Shopkeeper Yao said that this silver ticket was placed there for him, and he panicked in his heart, for fear that someone would steal it, so he brought it to the house and asked me to hide it." also said that when the third lady comes back, he will reconcile with you. β
"Got it, is there anything else going on?"
"When I was fifteen, the Song Zhizhou Mansion sent someone to post that Mrs. Song invited you to go to see the lights together, but you didn't come back. After fifteen, after the lord came back with the eldest son, the second son of Chai came and said that he guessed the lantern riddle on the fifteenth and hit a lot of lights. There is no little lady in the house, so I sent it to a few ladies to play. β
Xie Jingyi's hand was pale, "Where is the lamp?" β
"The slave was afraid of falling ashes, and put it away. It's a little donkey lamp, and the slave looks like the three ladies' green hair. β
As she spoke, she brought a lantern over.
Xie Jingyi glanced at it with a complicated expression, stretched out his hand, and touched the little donkey's ear.
Is Chai Youchen crazy? The lights of Jiangnan, the lights of Tokyo, the lights of the palace, what lights has she not seen?
Where someone would tie a donkey-shaped lamp, it doesn't look auspicious at all.
I don't know where he got it, and coaxed her father and brother to say that it was won by guessing the lantern riddle.
"What kind of lamp is the eldest sister and the second sister?"
Qingping thought for a while and said, "The eldest lady's is a hibiscus lantern, and the second lady's octagonal palace lantern." β
Xie Jingyi pinched the little donkey's mouth again, this guy is definitely sarcastic that she is ugly, not worthy of flowers, only worthy of donkeys!
Xie Jingyi rolled his eyes, "Hang this lamp on Qingju, it must like it." β
Qingping was startled, her lips moved, such a beautiful lantern was given to a donkey? What kind of light does a donkey want? But what the little lady said, she didn't dare to refute at all.
I don't know if it's wrong, and it wasn't until Xie Baolin came back that Xie Jingyi brought out a satisfactory color.
When he walked to the door of the main courtyard, he smelled a delicious aroma of food, Xie Jingyi walked in quickly, Xie Baolin and Xie Jingze had already drunk a little wine on the upper seat.
Xie Jingxian lowered her head, a little out of the world, not knowing what to think.
"Sannan, come on, there is your favorite wine to eat." When Xie Jingyin saw Xie Jingyi coming, she squeezed her eyebrows and looked at her for a long time, and dragged her to her side.
Xie Jingyi pursed his mouth, "What's the matter?" β
Xie Jingyin lowered his voice, "Daddy wants to say kiss to the eldest sister!" β
What's that?
"Which one?"
Xie Jingyin shook his head, "It's not from Hangzhou." It's from the capital, and he said that he was an old friend of Daddy's past, and he had a son at home who was the same age as his sister, and he used to jokingly mention that he wanted to get married, and he didn't know if he was married now. Daddy just mentioned it, but he hasn't skimmed the eight characters yet. β
Xie Jingyin chuckled, "What's your surname?" β
"The surname Han seems to be ...... But Daddy is just adding a personal choice. Daddy is now a general judge, and there are more people to choose from for the big sister. β
Xie Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly glanced at Xie Baolin, fortunately, her father didn't have the problem of the first emperor drinking too much.
"I haven't heard Daddy mention that there are still old friends in the capital?"
Xie Baolin heard Xie Jingyi's words and looked over, "You two are muttering something on the side." If there is anything, just ask Daddy. β
"Daddy is also an upright scholar, where there are no classmates, no teachers. What is the surname Han, your Uncle Han's surname is Han Mingjiang, and he is a senior brother who joined the company a few years earlier than Daddy. Daddy has been a small county magistrate for so many years, and he is not very embarrassed, and he always feels that he has lost the face of the teacher by contacting old friends more. β
Xie Baolin said, his eyes flashed, "Daddy already knows about the Xu family; and this attack, Chai Ergongzi also told me the truth in it. Daddy is not young, if he doesn't go further this time, he wants to be a county magistrate for the rest of his life and grow old. β
"Instead of embarrassing in front of the teacher, Daddy, I still don't want to lose face in front of the girl. When encountering danger, you have to rely on the girl to protect you, Daddy is ashamed...... I went to the capital this time to write a letter, and I don't know if my senior brother is still thinking about the old feelings. β
"Now that Daddy has also done this general judgment, it can be regarded as a little bit of confidence......"
Xie Baolin was still babbling, and Xie Jingyi's brain was already buzzing.
What kind of fame did she live in her last life, why didn't she know anything?
Xie Baolin and Han Jiang are brothers. Who is Han Jiang's teacher? That's the prince who is about to soar! Therefore, her father turned out to be a protΓ©gΓ© of the prince.
During the period of the first emperor, the prince has always been unwilling, and there are very few protΓ©gΓ©s under his hand who are good at mixing, but that is all in the past, and the second year of Xining has come.
On the mourning hall of Daddy and eldest brother, she didn't remember whether there was Han Jiang or not.
At that time, she was grief-stricken, and she didn't know anyone, even if she came, she only thought that she was looking at the face of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and she didn't know anything about it.
Xie Jingyi thought, closed his eyes, and chuckled.
"Daddy is so nice! I like Daddy. β
Xie Baolin's old face flushed, their family is good at everything, but they speak too bluntly, he thought, picked up chopsticks, and gave Xie Jing a big chicken leg clip, Daddy likes you too!
