Chapter 316 Teahouse Encounter

Now that the donation has been decided, Lu Qiqi and Li Yong naturally agreed to Banniang's suggestion.

At noon, the three of them chatted for a while, Li Yong was approached by the steward of the grange to ask about things, Banniang was leaving, Lu Qiqi went to see her off, and Banniang talked about Cai Junmo wanting to give her to Su Zizhan.

Lu Qiqi heard this, looked at Banniang and laughed. He said regretfully: "Su Zizhan is a talent, and his nature is extremely innocent, but he is really not a good candidate to be a husband, and it is good to be a friend." ”

Banniang also thinks so.

Because he heard that Su Zizhan came to the capital, Lu Qiqi also wanted to meet this once-in-a-millennium genius, and said to Banniang: "If Uncle Cai invites the Su family and his son, you can also give me a letter, and I will take the opportunity to visit it when I go back." ”

Regarding Lu Qiqi's desire to see the living version of historical celebrities, Banniang and Lu Qiqi are also in the same way, and they understand it very well, and said with a smile: "Cheng, let's sign his name again when we go back, and keep the heirloom in the future, maybe when we can sell it for a lot of money." ”

"Girl, can we not open our mouths and shut up all about money?" Lu Qiqi was a little helpless.

Banniang smiled: "Brother Seventeen, you have never been poor, how do you know how important money is in the hearts of people who have lived in my hard life." ”

Lu Qiqi pursed his lips, but he didn't bother to pay attention to her, he was embarrassed for a while before he opened his mouth, but what he said surprised Banniang: "Actually, if you really talk about it, the Su family and your family will really be in-laws in the future." ”

That, Su Zizhan is definitely not the wife of the Zeng family, this person's name covers the ages, so even if he marries a wife in addition to the original wife Wang Fu, although Banniang doesn't know who the stepfamily is, she also knows that it is definitely not the daughter of the Zeng family.

"It's not possible that Su Ziyou married which of my sisters, right?" But this age is not right, right? It is true that it is not a problem for the ancients to marry a wife, but Su Ziyou is indeed much older than the younger ten and eleven. "Could it be that our daughter married into their family's stepfamily?"

"Imagination is poor," Lu Qiqi expressed contempt, "History, although the Su family brothers belong to the old hall, and the struggle between the old and new parties is fierce, it is said that they belong to two factions with your future prime minister's brother, and your second brother is friendly with the Su family brothers, not to mention, the future prime minister, but the relationship with the Su family brothers has always been good, when the new party came to power to fight back against the old party, your prime minister's brother, still took a lot of care of the Su family brothers." Later, his son also took Su Ziyou's daughter. There is no doubt that the two families are indeed in-laws, but," Seeing that Banniang showed an expression of wanting to talk to him again, Lu Qiqi hurriedly stopped talking and confessed, "After all, history has changed, and I don't know what the future really is." ”

Banniang knew that this guy was familiar with history books, and her curiosity was out of curiosity, and every time she wanted to put words from Lu Seventeen's mouth about the fate of her family's famous brothers in literary history and Qingshi, but what this guy could say and what he couldn't say was that he didn't let go. ”

Lu Qiqi didn't talk nonsense with her, because he had to stay in the grange for a day, he sent her out of the village, and then turned back.

When Banniang entered the city with May, it was already dark.

Because she is dressed in men's clothes, she does not wear a hat, and there is only an ebony hairpin on her head with a bun, plus she inherits the characteristics of the Zeng family's tall people in height, she is extremely tall, and she looks like a beautiful young man. And dressed in plain clothes, it looks very warm. The two walked slowly all the way down the street, Banniang thought that the family was probably late for dinner, so she took May and went to the Beishanzi Tea House, planning to go home after eating. In May, I wanted to go to the Zhouqiao Night Market, where there were a lot of snacks, and it was rare to go out, she had already heard of the fame of the Zhouqiao Night Market, but unfortunately it had not passed.

Banniang thought that the Beishanzi Tea House was not far from her shop, and after eating, she went to the shop to take a look, and told May, and promised to ask her to go to the night market when she was free, and May was happy.

When the two arrived at the teahouse, they didn't go to the private room, sat in the lobby downstairs, called the shopkeeper to come, ordered a few refreshments and a few side dishes, and were eating, when they heard a few Confucian shirts dressed not far away talking.

Banniang saw that they spoke well, and couldn't help but glance at it, and saw one of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young men dressed as Confucians, high-spirited, with a long face, although he was not very handsome, but between his eyebrows and eyes, the brilliance flowed, so that people could find him in a group of people with just one glance.

Next to this scorching young man sat a man who was a year or two younger than him, slightly fatter than him, but just as tall, but with an extremely heavy expression on his face.

I heard a Confucian scholar who was about the same age on the side laughed: "Brother Zizhan, to meet you today is really the fate of our brothers, they all say that Kyoto is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, but it seems that Brother Zizhan is so talented, but it is the only brother to see in his life, Mr. Zeng Zigu is talented, but the brother feels that if he only collects papers, Brother Zizhan is more admired by his brothers than Mr. Zigu." It is Brother Ziyou, Wen Cai Huazhang also makes me admire, I am fortunate to get acquainted today, and I came out to play in vain today. I will wait for the two brothers to come to my house another day, so that the brothers in my family can get acquainted with the two. ”

Because of hearing them mention their most beloved second brother, Banniang couldn't help but pay more attention.

Listening to Su Zizhan and Su Ziyou, the two brothers hurriedly humbled themselves: "Brother Tai praised it falsely, and my brother also admires Mr. Zigu's moral articles very much, how can it be comparable to Mr. Zigu." ”

Although the words were modest, the expression on Su Zizhan's face was not modest.

In fact, the second brother's interest has never been in poetry, but in the article, to put it bluntly, Su Dacai is a young man who is now full of ambitions, but the second brother is an aspiring scholar. It's like one of these two is a romantic girl with a young age of eighteen, while the other is a housewife who is a courteous housewife. Although the two are the same eight families, they are actually not the same thing.

During the banquet, Su Ziyou said very little and seemed very calm, but Su Zizhan had a lotus tongue, and his mouth was full of chapters, occasionally reciting one or two sentences, and he was full of applause.

Banniang and May ate, and when they saw that it was dark, they called Xiao Er to come, paid the silver, thought about it, and threw another piece of silver to the shop, pointing to Su Zizhan's table and saying, "Their account, the master also paid." ”

It's not that she has a lot of money, or she has no place to burn, but to meet this two brothers who will shine in Shilin in the future, Banniang feels very dogleg that this money should be used to pay for the manuscript fee for reading humanities poetry for free that year. On the other hand, the Su family brothers later praised their second brother for "Confucianism is far from chasing Ji, and the words are closer to Han Jingxi".

Therefore, the action of throwing silver is very chic, and the words are very bold and heroic. Although the officials at that table could not be considered scholars from poor families, they were obviously not children of wealthy families in the city, and they actually didn't consume much things, and when they got such a large piece of silver ingots, Xiao Er's face was full of joy, and he said: "Yes, the little one is the guest at that table, thank you for this master." ”

Although I wondered in my heart, I don't know why this little boy had to pay for the guest officials at that table, but he has been a shop guy for many years, and he has not seen what kind of strange thing he has never seen at the foot of this Tianzi? If the money owner doesn't say it, he doesn't have to ask more. After all, my own business has made money, and I can still get some rewards from this extra money, isn't it beautiful?

Politely sent Banniang and May out of the store, and then came back, Su Zizhan was also full of food and drink at this table, and planned to find another place for pastime, so he had to pay, and the shopkeeper smiled and said: "The master who sat next to a few sons just now has already given you a few pieces of silver." ”

Su Zizhan was being praised at that time, where would he pay attention to who was sitting next to him? Originally, his family's family in this group of people was quite good, although it was someone else who invited him here, but he was really happy today, so he planned to invite this meal, which was his own, but he didn't think about the money but was paid.

"Do you know who it is?"

"This, back to this son's words, I don't know, that master has been to the shop once or twice, and he just looks a little familiar."

The shopkeeper replied respectfully.

"But the plain boy who sat next to us just now?" Su Ziyou on the side asked.

Because he didn't participate much in the conversation of the people at his table, he couldn't help but look around a few more times, and saw that the little boy seemed to be paying attention to the people on his side, plus the little boy was good-looking, with a quiet temperament, looking indifferent and quiet, and a pair of eyes looked clear and compelling, which made people look sideways, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times. I just don't know when he's gone.

"Exactly."

The literati admired each other, and it was not a big deal to do good deeds without leaving a name in obscurity, and they couldn't ask anything when they saw the shopkeeper's mouth, these Confucian scholars were only the heroic sons who didn't know history, admiring the talents of themselves and others, and they went out with friends.

Banniang waited for two more days, Cai's house sent someone to deliver the letter, and Banniang had lunch the next day, so she went to Cai's house as promised.

Because of the health of the Chao family's mother-in-law and missing her daughter, Zhu urged Chao Wenrou to go back to her parents' house to visit her mother-in-law, and Banniang called her to use the carriage, and she was too lazy to send someone to rent a car, so she simply wore men's clothes, and did not take a maid, and went to Cai's mansion alone.

When Lord Cai first saw her, she was wearing men's clothes, and she often went out for walking, and both families knew that it was common for her to wear men's clothes, so she would not be called Mrs. Cai's training.

But the Master of Caifu has never seen her in men's clothes, although the porter knows her, he was stunned when he first saw her, and he looked at Banniang funny. After registering, I was politely invited in.

And because of her dress, the mother-in-law who was responsible for leading her was a little embarrassed, and I didn't know whether to lead her to the front yard study, or to the backyard.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this godlady also came often, so she simply led people directly to the back garden.

When I saw Banniang's dress, Nuan Niang was very envious, Mrs. Cai didn't mind, the three of them talked for a while around the pots of flowers, Banniang came after eating, but she was not in a hurry to go back to the hospital, Mrs. Cai let people have refreshments in the pavilion, at this time the sun was just right in the late autumn afternoon, and the three of them happened to enjoy the scenery while gossiping.

The lord called Banniang here today for two things, one is to discuss the donation for the court, and the other is to invite the Su family father and son to be guests at night, which also means to let Banniang look at each other. Mrs. Cai knew it in her heart, and she originally thought that when the time came, she would put Banniang behind the screen and take a sneak peek at the Su family brothers, so she could simply ask her to go out to accompany the master to receive the Su family's father and son. Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai was going to say a few words to her, so she swallowed the words back.
