Chapter 50: Asking for Medicine
Yan Shuyu's poetry collection, in Yan Qingge's life, is just a small drift, she has more things to care about.
The release day is coming soon. Yan Qingge is most concerned about how many places Le Yi has taken the exam, not how many people in the capital publicize that Yan Shuyu is a female champion.
Under the fame, it is actually difficult to live up, and it will only bring disaster to people. Unfortunately, some people will never understand this.
Early in the morning, Yan Qingge asked Ruyi to go to the outer courtyard and called two smart and strong guys, each of whom gave one or two silver, and told them to go out early in the morning to see the list. It must be known that more than 3,000 people participated in this examination, but only 200 were admitted.
The sun had just risen, and Ruyi rushed in happily and said loudly: "Miss! Lady is overjoyed! Uncle won the third place! ”
When Yan Qingge heard this, he stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Reward!" ”
She had already prepared a reward of silver money, packed it in small lotus, and waited for the light to dissipate, but she was afraid that she would not be able to send it. Although Le Yi did not get the first place, the third place is already remarkable.
Qingxing Yuan was full of joy, everyone got a red envelope of ten taels of silver, and the two little guys who were in charge of going to see the list even got a double red envelope.
These two little guys begged for a reward from Ruyi's hands, and they couldn't see their teeth when they smiled, and some people were jealous of them, and the two said: "Wait, my uncle is very happy, I can't say that the master wants to reward it, and some of it is your share." But someone poured a bucket of cold water on his head: "The eldest lady knows it, and the master must have received the good news." Now there is no movement, and I am daydreaming. ”
Sure enough, Yan Songnian didn't let go of his mouth and rewarded people, but only sent a few people to Le Yi to congratulate him, and he was scolded by many people behind his back.
When the results came out, Le Yi's entertainment increased suddenly, although there was a palace exam half a month later, but the people who were admitted suddenly relaxed.
Those who can come to this point have real talent and real learning in their stomachs, and they will not regress because they don't read books for more than ten days, nor will they be handpicked because they have read a few more pages of books in these ten days.
Yan Qingge knew that Le Yi didn't have time now, so he didn't go every day, but just stayed in Qingxing Garden to embroider the tent honestly.
Unexpectedly, she didn't look for trouble, and came to her for something.
In the afternoon of this day, Yan Qingge took advantage of the sun to sit under the porch and bask for a while. The autumn sun is crystal golden, warm and light, and at this time, there is a sound of scolding at the door.
"Let me in. You little girl who doesn't know what to do, carefully I told Brother Nian and stripped you of your skin. The old lady's howl was still clear in her ears from a long distance.
Yan Qingge frowned, knowing that it was Mrs. Hu who came.
Last time she came to beg for a snake moult, Yan Qingge didn't give it to her, and sent ten taels of silver to gag her, but she didn't expect her to come to the door with her face.
Yan Qingge showed an angry and funny expression, and instructed Ruyi: "Call Mrs. Hu over and make trouble in front of my door, she is really bold." ”
Mrs. Hu waited for Ruyi to come to invite, so she stopped a little, straightened her clothes, glanced at Xunshuang with contempt, and walked into Qingxingyuan proudly, commenting without a word along the way: "This courtyard is actually a better place for Brother Nian'er to live, look at this rockery and lake, the eldest lady is really a golden body!" It's cheaper for you cheap bones, I have never lived in such a good place in my life, my wife. ”
She doesn't speak well, and no one wants to pay attention to her. After seeing Yan Qingge, she couldn't even salute, and said in a daze: "Miss, did you find the snake last time?" ”
Yan Qingge was displeased, and he didn't invite her to sit, nor did he call for tea, and said, "The snake has been lost, and I can't find it." ”
"You didn't look for it, did you? It seems that in the eyes of the eldest lady, the lives of our ordinary people's children are not all fate. Hu Pozi sneered and gave Yan Qingge a face.
Yan Qingge's face was pale, and he said: "Granny Hu, I respect you as my father and mother, give you a little face, you don't want to toast and eat and drink." ”
Mrs. Hu crossed her waist and said: "Yo, let me ask the honorable eldest lady, I have left you for nearly a month, old woman, and asked you to find a snake to molt, and you sent it away without saying a word, who ignored it." Do you want me to take you to see Brother Nian and ask him to give us a review? ”
Yan Qingge looked at this Hu Pozi with a young brother, a fox and a tiger, shameless, and anti-customer-oriented posture, tired and annoying, she had never seen such a person with a big face. She didn't bother to explain to this kind of person, waved her hand, and said, "Send off." ”
Hu Pozi was pushed out by the two healthy women, and shouted angrily: "I'll tell Brother Nian to let him see how you treat me." ”
After a while, the maid in Yan Songnian's yard came to invite and said, "The master called the eldest lady over, saying that he had something to say." ”
Yan Qingge stood up and cleaned up, and slowly walked to Qingxing Yuan.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Aunt Hai, Yan Shuyu, Hu Pozi, and Yan Songnian all there. Yan Shuyu even sat on a footstool and stretched out her hand to beat Hu Pozi's legs.
Yan Shuyu has always scratched Yan Songnian's itch and stammered with Hu Pozi, but didn't she stammered Yan Songnian. Mrs. Hu was enjoying it, and when she saw Yan Qingge, her eyes widened, and she snorted, and said to Yan Songnian beside her: "Brother Nian, your eldest lady has to be disciplined." Say it, who believes that it was taught by the Yan family. You didn't see the face she had on me just now, but for the sake of a snakeskin, she had someone fork me out. My Granny Hu has lived for such a long time, and it is the first time that I have had this kind of experience. ”
Yan Songnian hurriedly said: "Mother Hu is angry, I will apologize to you from her." Then he turned to Yan Qingge and said, "Quickly make amends to your mother-in-law Hu, but a piece of snake shedding, what if you give her away, why is she so petty." ”
Yan Qingge took out a ginger handkerchief and wiped it on his eyes: "Father, Qingge really doesn't have a snake moult." Last time, Granny Hu came to ask for it, but I didn't find it for a long time, thinking that I forgot to find Zhuangzi, and Tete sent her ten taels of silver. ”
"Hmph, what is ten taels of silver?" Granny Hu glared at her: "I bought all the ten taels of silver for my daughter-in-law to drink, and it was useless to drink it. ”
Yan Qingge was annoyed, but under the effect of the ginger handkerchief, he continued to twitch and match: "Granny Hu, I really don't have a snake moult, why do you have to force me like this." ”
Aunt Hai suddenly showed a smile on her face and said, "Whether there is a snake molting or not, it is not something that can be said by touching the skin of two mouths." This snake skin is related to a human life, it is better to go to Qingxingyuan to search for it, if you find it, you can save a human life. If you can't find it, you can confirm the innocence of the eldest lady. What do you think, sir? ”
Yan Qingge didn't expect Aunt Hai to come up with such a vicious plan, so she immediately stood up angrily, looked at Aunt Hai coldly, and said, "Auntie is really a good idea!" ”
Aunt Hai wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled slightly: "It's easy to say, it's all in those years in southern Xinjiang, and I have seen a lot of old men and wise judgments, and I can just learn a little bit of skin." ”
Yan Songnian was overjoyed and cast a loving look at Aunt Hai.
Yan Qingge stood up and said steadily with tears: "You are using strong words. If you say so, the snake is gone, who knows if it was lost, or which one in the family picked it up, Aunt Hai now lives in Mingxinzhai, and her father lives in Hanyouju, you have to search it. ”
Aunt Hai laughed loosely: "I'm afraid that no one will help me search for it." Now she has to move the furniture in and out several times every few days to prevent the two poisonous snakes, which is not a threat to her.
Yan Songnian was a little hesitant, being searched by others, it was really an extremely humiliating act, even if it was for Hu Pozi, he was not happy.
was at a stalemate, and suddenly a small servant outside came to report: "Uncle is here." ”
Yan Songnian was stunned for a moment and said, "Please come in." ”
Where did Aunt Hai dare to see Le Yi, so she quickly took Yan Shuyu away. When Mrs. Hu heard that it was the deceased Le's brother who came, she also collected some money and left.
Yan Qingge was happy, Le Yi came just right, otherwise I am afraid she would have a big battle with Yan Songnian and them today.
Le Yi was immediately invited in, and when he saw that Yan Qingge was also in Hanyouju, he said with a smile: "It's good that you are here, and it will save me some time." ”
Yan Songnian looked at his high-spirited brother-in-law sourly, and said, "What's the matter with Brother Le?" ”
"Come and send an invitation. Tomorrow, September 19, there will be a chrysanthemum appreciation party in Dongshan on the outskirts of Beijing, and good people in Beijing will participate. Brother Yan doesn't know if he received the invitation, but there must be, but I did it too much. ”
"I received it three days ago." Yan Songnian heard him talk about this, and a few smiles appeared on his face: "My family Shuyu has recently become famous in poetry, and someone sent me an invitation and asked me to bring her to participate." ”
Le Yi showed an indifferent smile: "I also read "Seeing the Lotus Collection", but it is not refreshing. Since Brother Yan already has an invitation, I'll give Qingge this one. After speaking, he handed the invitation card in the envelope to Yan Qingge.
Yan Qingge thanked Le Yi, took it out casually and took a look, and saw that it was a gilded post, so he couldn't put it down.
Yan Songnian's face darkened, he didn't expect that Le Yi sent a gilded post, the one he received was just an ordinary post, he went in with different invitations, and the treatment he received was also different, in order to show off Yan Shuyu, he made a mistake for a while.
However, when Le Yi is gone, he can ask for this famous post from Yan Qingge, presumably her children don't understand that.
Yan Shuyu took the name card and said to Le Yi with a smile: "Hey, this bronzing name card can only be used by one person." Uncle, this is too valuable, so you might as well give this name to your father. After she finished speaking, her eyes rolled, and she shook her head and said: "No, no, no, my father still wants to take my sister-in-law there, with the gilded name, my sister-in-law can't go, those who are waiting to see her compose poems, won't they be disappointed." I'll use it alone. Then put it away close to your body and keep it precious.
Yan Songnian's face became extremely ugly.
