Chapter 211: Zhou Siyan
Xu Qingyan inquired quietly: "I have just arrived in the capital not long ago, but I have never heard of the name of the county lord of Siyan. ”
The county lord of Xinrou said with admiration on his face: "Sister Siyan is amazing, she is a famous talented woman in the capital, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even the emperor praises her." ”
Before Xu Qingyan appeared, Sister Siyan was an example set for her by her mother since she was a child.
After listening to this, Xu Qingyan was a little puzzled: "The county lord of Siyan suffers from heart disease, where does he have so much mental strength and energy to learn these things, and he is still proficient in everything." ”
The county lord of Xinrou said with a smile: "Sister Siyan has been very smart since she was a child, and what others spend several times time and energy to understand, she only needs to read it a few times to understand." ”
Oh, it turned out to be talented.
While Xu Qingyan was pondering, the county lord of Xinrou continued.
"Although Sister Siyan has heart disease, she has cultivated herself since she was a child, and her temperament is no better, and she rarely gets angry, so heart disease rarely attacks."
"It's just that not long ago, Uncle Jin Wang died for no reason, and Sister Siyan was sad, so she had frequent heart attacks."
When Xu Qingyan heard this, she had already confirmed that Zhou Siyan was the daughter of the King of Jin.
"That Siyan County Lord, how is it now?"
"Recuperating in the house, at this time in previous years, we would all come to Momoyama to enjoy the scenery, but this year..."
After that, he sighed again.
At this time, Lingxian, Zelan and Xinrou County Lord's Yahuan Ayu appeared in her sight together.
The county lord of Xinrou immediately put aside the matter of Fang Cai, and asked downward: "Ayu, why are you here now, the county lord has been waiting here for a long time." ”
Ayu smiled and said, "I know that Miss will win, and I am making a bet with the Yahuan of the county lord of Le'an." ”
After that, he said to Lingxian and Zelan: "The two sisters have said, if the county lord of Le'an loses, give me two taels of silver, bring it quickly." ”
Lingxian and Zelan smiled and said, "Sister Ayu hasn't asked yet, how do you know that it was your county lord who won." ”
Ayu was full of confidence in Xinrou, so she replied: "Then you don't need to ask, my young lady is the most powerful, and the county lord of Le'an is definitely not an opponent." ”
Zelan was not convinced, "My young lady is amazing, it must be my young lady who won." ”
Ayu was about to speak, but he heard the county lord of Xinrou say in the back: "Ayu, this time the county lord lost, how much money did you gamble, quickly compensate them." ”
Ayu turned her head with a slightly surprised expression: "Miss, you really lost!" ”
The tone was full of disbelief.
Seeing that the county lord of Xinrou nodded, Ayu had a bitter face, and took out two taels of broken silver from his purse with a reluctant face, and handed them to Lingxian and Zelan.
Lingxian and Zelan quickly took it, for fear that Ayu would be reluctant to take it back.
Seeing this, Xu Qingyan smiled and said: "You gambled with me, and now that you win, shouldn't you share some of the money with me?" ”
When Lingxian and Zelan heard this, they immediately stuffed the silver into their purses, and said, "Miss is so rich, don't worry about the small money of the slaves." ”
The self-proclaimed slave maids were taught to them by Mother Lin, and when they were in the Xu family before, the two had never called themselves like this.
When they were in Ranyuan, Mother Lin secretly taught them a lot, saying that there is a difference between master and servant, if they are so unruly and distant, if they walk outside in the future, they will lose the face of the master.
I told them a lot about etiquette and self-professes, so that the two girls also learned to be less disciplined.
Xu Qingyan knew all these things, and she didn't stop them, and Mother Lin was also kind.
If she stays in the capital for a long time, she will definitely have some intersection with these wealthy families.
They learn some distance etiquette, and there are good ones, and they will not be looked down upon in the future.
"Okay, stingy girl, hurry up and hide your little vault, it's almost time to eat lunch, we still have to go to Taojingyuan."
At this time, the county lord of Xinrou said on the side, "Taojing Courtyard is in the third room on the west side of Taolin, not far from the Taoran Courtyard where I live, and the county lord of Le'an can go to my place to sit if he is free." ”
"And I invited a few young ladies of the family to gather at the Taoxin Pavilion tomorrow, if you are interested, you can also come and join in the fun."
Xu Qingyan replied with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow when I am free." ”
Since the place where they lived was in the same direction, the two went together again, and on the way they met several peasant women carrying sedan chairs down the mountain.
Those peasant women were smiling all over their faces at the moment, thinking that they would have a good harvest.
They carry the nobles up the mountain, but there is no fixed price, and the amount of money they earn depends entirely on the mood of those ladies.
If you are in a good mood, you will be rewarded, and if you are in a bad mood, you will be rewarded.
Xu Qingyan saw them walking past her with a smile on their faces, and she could faintly hear them saying that they wanted to bring something for the child when they went home.
I can't help but smile, this mother's heart is also a simple happiness.
Seeing her smiling, the county lord of Xinrou was curious: "What are you laughing at?" ”
Xu Qingyan came back to her senses and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I just saw those women and thought of my relatives at home." ”
The Xu family was also very poor before, but as long as conditions permitted, Xu Guanghua and the Hu family never lost their sister and brother.
Seeing her with a look of longing on her face, the county lord of Xinrou couldn't help but be a little curious about what the county lord's family was like.
I heard that she was born in a peasant family, but if she is really a peasant family, how can she raise a person like her.
Not only can he make a nutrient solution that makes the saint look sideways, but he also has medical skills.
In her impression, the peasant gate is like those women who carry sedan chairs, making money by selling coolies.
The county lord of Xinrou couldn't figure out what kind of farmer could cultivate a person like Xu Qingyan.
While she was thinking, Taojing Courtyard had arrived, and Xu Qingyan waved goodbye to the county lord of Xinrou.
There were already servants waiting for them in front of the courtyard gate, and when they saw Xu Qingyan coming, they hurriedly opened the door and invited her in.
Bypassing the shadow wall, you will enter the courtyard, and at this time, the two maids in the courtyard are sweeping the floor, and many servants are shuttling back and forth with things in their hands.
Smoke was rising from the kitchen not far away.
The maid led their master and servant into the three courtyards,
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard door, the door of the opposite room was open, and Li Wan was sitting with a few girls talking about something.
"Madam, the county lord is here."
When Li Wan heard this, she turned her head and looked over, and saw Xu Qingyan standing outside the door, so she quickly got up and said, "Why did the county lord come so late, is he tired of walking, and said let you sit in a sedan chair, why suffer this sin." ”
Xu Qingyan shook her head, "The young lady misunderstood, I'm not tired, but I was addicted to the beautiful scenery for a while and couldn't help myself, so I delayed the time." ”
At this time, the five girls sitting at the table stood up at the same time and saluted Xu Qingyan in unison: "I have seen the county lord of Le'an. ”
Xu Qingyan waved her hand and motioned for them to get up.
"Who are these girls?"
Li Wan introduced several girls to Xu Qingyan again, all of whom were the ladies in the second and third rooms of the Huguo Mansion.
After saying hello, Xu Qingyan took Lingxian and Zelan back to the place where Li Wan arranged for her.
After lunch, Li Wan sent someone to say that she wanted to take a lunch break, saying that if Xu Qingyan wanted to enjoy the scenery, she could go to play first.
Xu Qingyan naturally didn't want to sleep at this time, so she beckoned Lingxian and Zelan to take bamboo baskets and clay pots and leave Taojing Courtyard.
Five meters away from Taojing Courtyard, there is the peach forest, at this time, the peach forest flashes from time to time with various color clothes, and the color of the clothes should be young girls playing in the forest.
Come to think of it, those old ladies have a habit of resting since they came, and only the little girls can't sit still, so they will come out to play with the rings at this time.
In the peach forest, the peach blossoms on the trees are beginning to bloom, and the grass under the trees is miserable.
The green grass was now covered with pink petals.
The breeze blows.....
The pink petals came in a flutter, and they fell for a while.
Fairy and Zelan ran excitedly under the flower tree, reaching out from time to time to catch the petals that were about to fall.
Xu Qingyan smiled slightly when she saw this, and also stretched out her hand to catch a red petal that was about to fall.
Looking at the red in her palm, Xu Qingyan didn't have any sentimental thoughts of cherishing flowers.
At this moment, her mind is full of how to make these peach blossoms into something that beautifies her skin.
She asked Lingxian and Zelan to bring bamboo baskets just to pick some petals and go back so that they could make peach blossom dew and peach blossom balm. 2k reading web
