Early in the morning of the second day, the ladies of each family drove back to Beijing, and the cars and horses were noisy along the way, Yan Qingge was alone when he came, and when he went back, he was with the Ning family and the Ling family.

Back at home, Yan Qingge went to see Yan Songnian first, and took the golden ruyi with him when he left.

This golden ruyi is among the four prizes, and it is the most eye-catching among everyone, and no one is short of money, but such a large piece of gold is eye-catching. Yan Qingge didn't like it either, so he simply took it over and gave it to Yan Songnian as a gift.

Yan Songnian accepted Jin Ruyi, and heard that it was Yan Qingge who won the prize at the lotus banquet, and specially brought it to honor his father, Le's mouth couldn't close, and he smiled and said to Aunt Liu, who was waiting behind him: "Liu'er, you go to the study, bring the poem made by the second lady, and I will help her change it." Your sister is now famous for her poetry, and you have won the first prize for the lotus banquet, and my Yan family's reputation is just around the corner. ”

Yan Qingge looked at Yan Songnian coldly, Yan Shuyu was really shameless, and she didn't dare to tell her family the reason why she was rushed back by the princess ahead of time, but she spread the matter of writing poetry everywhere, if it weren't for the fear of delaying Ning Minlan's marriage, Yan Qingge would have pierced her painting skin now.

Aunt Liu soon came back with a word, it was the poem that Yan Shuyu sang loudly by the lotus pond, which was written down by Yan Songnian himself.

"Qingge, come and see, I helped her change the four words, Shuyu praised me for being her four-character master, you see if I changed it well." Yan Songnian and Yan Shuyu deserved to be biological father and daughter, and read aloud: "Cherish the spring sometimes, and the summer will urge Hanlian." Ling Bo is fragrant and quiet, and his eyes are full of green shirts. It's not a cold guest, it's full of air. I am willing to go with the blue waves and plant the water in the coming year. I changed the original heat to summer, and changed the high and clean light to the world, and changed it to clean air in the world. Qingge, do you think it's appropriate? ”

"Father changed it so well!" Yan Qingge's eyebrows and eyes were crooked when he smiled, and he praised: "It's a pity that Qingge can't compose poems, otherwise he would have asked his father for guidance." ”

After Yan Song's year, Yan Qingge made up his mind that he would never write poems in the future, and he would never give Yan Songnian a chance to change his poems.

Yan Songnian got a stutter, of course, he leaned back in the chair and said with a smile: "Seeing you two sisters become talents, I am very happy for my father." ”

Yan Qingge coaxed Yan Songnian and said goodbye to him when he went out of the Hanyouju Gate, but he didn't go home, but went straight to Mingxinzhai.

Mingxinzhai is the residence of the female gentleman Chu Danzhu, and it is also the place where she teaches the female students in the house.

After entering the door, Chu Danzhu immediately greeted him, saw Yan Qingge, who he hadn't seen for a few months, and said with a smile: "It's Qingge who is here, you haven't come to class for a long time, but you're not feeling well?" ”

Chu Danzhu is amiable and never embarrassed students, the Yan sisters don't want to come to class, Chu Danzhu doesn't say a word, and he won't complain to Yan Songnian. Anyway, she doesn't have much ink in her stomach, the students learn too fast, and she doesn't have that level of teaching, so she is happy to fool the past, and she will not be less restrained in the Yan Mansion anyway.

Yan Qingge glanced at her arrogantly, and saw that she was wearing new clothes and the jewelry on her head had also changed, which confirmed her guess in her heart, and said coldly: "Mr. Chu, why do you have to pretend. How much money did you collect for the poem you wrote for your sister-in-law? ”

Chu Danzhu's expression was dumbfounded, and he said cautiously: "That poem was written by the second lady herself, she is on Princess Rouhui Zhuangzi, I am at home, so far away, how can I help her compose a poem." ”

"Why do you have to pretend Mr. Chu, you make a poem in advance and let your sister recite it, so that you can be in the limelight at the lotus appreciation party, I already know this matter clearly. It's just that I don't know how much price you charged my sister, if it's appropriate, I can't say that I will use Mr. Chu in the future. ”

After Chu Danzhu heard what she said, his heart was relieved, and he said: "I have been in the Yan family for four years, and I have taught the eldest lady to read and write, and I have long regarded myself as a member of the Yan family. I won't hide it from you, the second lady gave me three hundred taels of silver and asked me to make ten poems for her. ”

"Mr. Chu is really a talented woman, and a poem costs thirty taels. I heard that there are also poor talents writing poems for people by the overpass, and a poem can be bought for only five dollars. Yan Qingge said coldly.

"Eldest Miss, you don't know, the second lady is willing to give me so much silver, mainly to seal her mouth. But you and the second lady are not outsiders, so it's okay to know. I have taught the eldest lady for four years, and my feelings are naturally more intimate than others, and it is also okay to write poems to the eldest lady in vain. Chu Dan Juba stammered.

Yan Qingge sighed and stared at her mockingly: "Mr. Chu also knows that you are close to me, but just for three hundred taels of silver, you are willing to sell the text to others." It can be seen that I am not as good as three hundred taels of silver in your heart. ”

Three hundred taels of silver is enough to buy a good yard in the capital, and then open a small shop, which can not only live in peace, but also work happily, which is really a lot for ordinary civilians.

But Chu Danzhu is different, she is twenty-nine this year, her appearance is not obvious, her family is already dilapidated, she is helpless, she is out of the Yan family, she is afraid that she will be torn and eaten immediately, the more silver she has, the more disaster it will be for her. If you can stay in the Yan family for one more year, it is to earn one more day, and if you can stay for a lifetime, it will be even better.

Yan Qingge's words made a little sweat break out on her anxious head. stammered: "Miss, I'm ...... I knew I was wrong. "I didn't even dare to put the slightest score of the master.

Yan Qingge glanced at her lightly, walked out of Mingxinzhai, and left a frightened Chu Danzhu.

Yan Shuyu was very jealous of Yan Qingge when she said about the lotus appreciation party, and the next few days were surprisingly quiet. Without her looking for trouble, Yan Qingge lived a peaceful life.

Summer days change when you say change. A rainstorm came from the sky, and the lightning danced wildly in the sky, like a silver snake falling to the ground, and the thunder rolled and continued continuously, shaking the waterline flowing down the tiles three times.

The weather was already in the summer, but after pouring this heavy rain, it cooled down again. Ruyi was afraid that Yan Qingge would be frozen sick, so he found Yan Qingge's thin-haired cloak and put on her to keep her warm.

Since the last lotus banquet, Yan Qingge has not seen Yan Xiuyu again. First, he was worried about his foot injury, and second, he wanted to know if the divine doctor named Ouyang Shaoming had come to treat him. She remembered that Yan Xiuyu had said that the two could exchange letters, so she took advantage of the rain and couldn't go out, wrote a letter in front of the bookcase, asked him how he was doing recently, and wrote her doubts into it, hoping that he would reply to solve his doubts.

After writing this letter, Yan Qingge became interested, and wrote one each to Ning Minlan and Ling Xiao in one go. Just sending a letter was not a monotony, she went to the kitchen and ordered someone to make delicate pastries, and today she had just made edible fresh cheese, sprinkled with candied osmanthus, and all kinds of dried fruits, and put them in ice bowls, ready to be sent with food.

The summer rain comes and goes as fast as it comes, and in the afternoon, the sky clears. Yan Qingge sent a few reliable mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law and asked them to call a car to go out and deliver things to each family.

In the evening, the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law came back one after another, with smiles on their faces, and they ran errands to deliver things to lie down, and were rewarded with money, and they all thought it was a good errand.

Ning Minlan and Ling Xiao both returned gifts and letters, only Yan Xiuyu called someone to spread the word, saying that Ouyang Shaoming had seen his illness and felt that Yan Xiuyu's illness was very interesting, and promised to treat him. His foot injury has already been scarred, and it is not in the way, so Yan Qingge does not have to worry about it.

During dinner in the evening, Xunshuang suddenly ran in, took a box, and said with a smile: "This is something sent by Yanwangfu, saying that it is for the eldest lady." The mother-in-law who delivered the things was waiting outside to kowtow to the eldest lady. ”

Yan Qingge saw that it was a delicate bamboo food box, and when he opened it, there were three layers inside.

On the first floor, there is osmanthus sour plum cake, which is made crystal clear, cut into long squares the size of finger strips, and placed in small plates, which is a delicious food in summer.

A small box was placed on the second floor, and transparent chess pieces were placed in it, Yan Qingge put it under his nose and smelled it, it was all sugar, and he knew that it was a sugar chess piece.

The third layer is a small celadon lid cup with entwined peonies, which has the fragrance of honey before opening the lid, and occasionally has a slightly choking good smell, and the red and bright honey water is floating with unknown fruit flesh.

She said to Xunshuang, "Call that woman in." ”

The mother-in-law is a subordinate of the Yanwang Mansion, and she came in and kowtowed: "I have seen the eldest lady of the Yan Mansion, our little prince has ordered, this is food for the eldest lady." The first two layers are common, the third layer is the betel nut of the jujube simmered with nectar at home, it is best to drive away the cold, it has just rained heavily, I am afraid that the eldest lady will be cold, it is best to eat it hot. ”

"Little Lord Yan has a heart, so he said I thank him." Yan Qingge didn't expect Yan Xiuyu to be so careful, he took a purse containing broken silver and gave it to his mother-in-law, and asked Ruyi to accompany her to send her out.

Since this day, every few days, I will send someone to send letters and some small things to each other, you come and go, and the relationship is getting better and better.

Ning Minlan was about to get married in the fall, Yan Qingge decided to do a better embroidery job to add makeup to her, she finished drawing the pattern carefully, and carefully selected silk threads and fabrics.

She wants to embroider a bed tent, and when the newlyweds get married, it is best to send a hundred children's tents. It is difficult to make a hundred children's tents, and it is impossible to complete it in such a short period of time. What's more, based on the time that Ning Minzhi is preparing for marriage at home, I'm afraid that the Baizi account has already been prepared.

Yan Qingge took a trick and prepared to embroider a pomegranate tent decorated with grape patterns, the grape patterns were lined up with a thousand, and there were exactly a hundred pomegranates embroidered, and the decorative beads that fell after embroidery, Yan Qingge was ready to install a hundred small jade gourds. Pomegranates and grapes are metaphors for many seeds, and gourds are more homophonic gourds. In this way, this account can barely be regarded as a very auspicious hundred sub account.

Embroidery is the most laborious, Yan Qingge devoted himself wholeheartedly, and if he didn't pay attention, Yan Shuyu had already coaxed Yan Songnian to agree to her and take the family to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Yan's house to escape the summer.

This summer is not hot, and Yan Qingge can't understand why he wants to escape the heat. She thought about it for a while, and called Ruyi and said, "You go out to inquire, do you bring Aunt Hai with you for the summer vacation." ”
