Chapter 37: Gift-giving
"Rain over azure glaze?" Xiao Rongyue looked at the eager Du Huo in front of her, and her face was a little hesitant: "Most of it was collected at a high price today, and only one set remains, or I look at it as exquisite and beautiful, and I can ...... it if I keep it."
Before she finished speaking, Du Huo's eyes were already bright, and he quickly interrupted her: "Go and let someone get it with me!" ”
Xiao Rongyue didn't move, just looked at him quietly, her eyes were as cold as ice: "What does Lang Jun want to do with this?" That's from my dowry. ”
Du Huo frowned: "I have a big deal now, and if I want to use these two sets of wine vessels, it is not a very valuable thing, and I will naturally compensate you in the future!" ”
He suddenly remembered that the merchant girl in front of him who didn't seem to be so easy to talk to, but was full of copper smell and only worried about money, was not as knowledgeable as Pei Yuan, and could endure any grievances for him.
"If you have any requirements, just say it, they are all husband and wife, and you don't have to see each other." Du Huo's originally high excitement was somewhat restrained, staring at Xiao Rongyue.
Xiao Rongyue swallowed: "Pei Erniang, she ......"
Du Huo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sure enough, this woman's knowledge is shallow after all, and what she is thinking about is still jealous, so it is better, he smiled slightly, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes.
"You are the wife I am marrying, and the Du family will depend on you in the future, she is just a cousin, and I just see that she has a pitiful background, so I take more care, and I can't compare with you." His tone was low and slow, with a little demagogic gentleness, "If you don't like it, at most I will have less contact with Yuan Niang in the future, as long as you can ......rest assured."
Looking at the handsome face full of pretended affection, and approaching her with a smile that no one could refuse, Xiao Rongyue had goosebumps, if she hadn't pinched her palms hard, she might really have laughed out loud.
She coughed a few times and took a deep breath before she froze: "Is what Lang Jun said true?" It's a pity that the tone is not pleasantly surprised, and the urgency is not yet in place.
However, at this time, Du Huo couldn't see it, I don't know if he was too confident in his charm, he retracted his gaze as if he was winning, and smiled perfunctorily: "Naturally it's true, but you also have to listen to me and plan more for the future." ”
Watching Du Huo stride out and order someone to send the rain-soaked azure glazed wine vessel to his study, Xiao Rongyue bent the corners of her mouth slightly, and a smile bloomed.
She poured herself a cup of tea slowly and methodically, took a sip, and then said to Sanqi: "You know what to teach and who knows, right?" ”
Sanqi replied, but said curiously: "But today the porcelain workshop sent two sets of wine vessels, why ......?"
"Keep that set, keep it for a good life, and it won't be useful in the future."
The singing and dancing in the Chunyang Fang, the huge Qinhuai First Square is closed, and the guests who came and went like clouds in the past are nowhere to be seen, only more than ten couches are placed in the wide lobby, and a pair of maiko wearing tulle covering their faces in the middle of the waist and limbs stretch their water sleeves, stepping on the flower steps and dancing, every step is gentle as water and extremely tempting, and the looming skin is more coveted.
Several young Lang Jun on the couch couldn't take their eyes off it, and even Huang Liulang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Today, these two are a pair of treasures in the Invitation Moon Fang, if I hadn't spent a lot of money, I'm afraid I wouldn't come." ”
Chang Yun heard this at the upper seat, and sneered: "This dance is so-so, and I can't see the appearance, even the ladies in Chang'an Pingkangfang." ”
Huang Liulang was a little embarrassed, he spent a lot of money in order to please Chang Yun, and invited these people to sing and dance, and he didn't want to get such a sentence.
Cheng Mo said with a smile on the side: "Peony and peony are bright, how can they be compared, this is Chu Dance, King Chu Huai loved to bend his waist the dance back then, but Chang'an did not have such softness." ”
Huang Liulang's face suddenly looked much better, and he nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's right." ”
Chang Yun saw that it was Cheng Mo who opened his mouth, so he took a sip of wine: "It's okay if you say it, who doesn't know that you are well-informed, and I can't match you when it comes to these." ”
He approached Cheng Mo again and lowered his voice: "Wulang, I still have something to ask you, when I return to Chang'an, Murong Jing must set up a banquet for us to catch the wind and wash the dust, I want to take Nian Nujiao to teach them to envy and envy, but she ...... It's better for you to give me an idea, she must be reluctant. ”
Cheng Mo glanced at him and smiled, but did not speak.
Chang Yun was so anxious that he couldn't care that he was still at the table, so he was about to get up and go over to talk, but he was interrupted by Du Huo on the next seat: "Huo heard that Erlang came to collect the azure glazed wine vessel after the rain this time, and he happened to have a set in his hand, thinking that instead of leaving the pearl in his hand and covering the dust, it would be better to give Erlang Quan a little heart." ”
Chang Yun couldn't help but glance at Cheng Mo, with a little interest in his eyes, this Xie Yuanlang from Jiangning Mansion was really interesting, he actually heard that they were collecting wine and prepared a set for him.
Chang Yun glanced at a brocade box that Du Huo asked Changbai to send, and smiled evilly: "Du Sanlang really has a heart, but this errand is not mine, it is Goro's, you are afraid that you sent it to the wrong person." ”
The smile on Du Huo's face froze, and he turned his head to look at Cheng Mo in embarrassment, only to see Cheng Mo raise his eyes to look at him, and then glance at the brocade box over there, and then said lightly for a long time: "Thank you." ”
Just like that, there are no superfluous words, and there is no intention of being moved, he has been planning for two days like this?
Du Huo was a little dumbfounded for a while, and only then did he smile when he came back to his senses: "What the two Lang Jun said is just a little careful." ”
Chang Yun glanced at Du Huo contemptuously, people like this in Chang'an have not seen a hundred but also fifty, they are all hollowed out, he is not surprised, but he didn't expect that this Xie Yuanlang, who looks honest and arrogant, will also do this.
Cheng Mo didn't say much, just asked people to put away the brocade box, and then talked to Huang Liulang about the waist bending dance.
Du Huo's enthusiasm seemed to be extinguished by a basin of ice water, and he was wet and dripping all over the ground, his face was much paler, and he sat down sullenly and ate a few glasses of wine.
When the banquet was dispersed, Huang Liulang was already drunk, and patted his chest with Chang Yun with his tongue and said: "Erlang will come to Jiangning Mansion next time, I will find a few people who are good at dancing and singing, and I will teach you not to be disappointed, although this Jiangning Mansion is not as good as Chang'an, but Jiangnan women have a unique flavor......"
Chang Yun was quite sober today, laughed a few times, and pointed to Yingniang behind him: "Although this little song is not very good, it looks okay, and the kung fu of serving people is still almost, and I have to pick a few stronger than her next time." ”
Yingniang wants to cry without tears, a well-known lady who is sought after, and now she has become an improvisation in other people's mouths, and she is also disliked, and her heart is more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis.
Du Huo came forward to say goodbye to Chang Yun and Cheng Mo, and bowed politely: "The two Lang Jun will return to Chang'an tomorrow, Huo is very reluctant, fortunately, he will go to Chang'an to study and live in Chang'an in the future, and he will not have the opportunity to drink with the two of them again in ......the future."
Chang Yun looked at him and laughed dryly: "It's easy to say." ”
No more on that.
Cheng Mo smiled: "Du Sanlang has a bright future, I think there will be a chance in the future." ”
After doing this way, Du Huo didn't even have time to say a few more words, nor did he get a word of intimacy, let alone future contacts, so he was suddenly discouraged and turned his head to call Changbai back.
After he left, Chang Yun saw the brocade box at a glance, and simply asked people to open it: "It is also said that it is the Du family in Jiangning, the Qingliu Wang family for generations, isn't it also like this, and Baba sent a set of azure wine vessels over after the rain, and collected more than 100 sets in Jiangning. ”
The azure glaze ware after the rain is naturally good, but for Chang Yun and them, it is just a rare object, and it is not a valuable thing.
Cheng Mo looked at the wine vessel brought out of the brocade box, and was a little surprised for a while, this was obviously the wine vessel that was recovered in the porcelain workshop of the female proprietor's house yesterday, and the style was afraid that it came out of a porcelain kiln.
But how did Du Ho take it and give it to them?
Puzzled, he took a wine cup and looked at it carefully, and ordered someone to take a pot of wine and pour it into it, to see what was so strange.
But I saw the amber liquor in the smooth and green wine cup swaying, but it was a small Xiao character at the bottom of the glass, looming in the wine, and Chang Yun and Cheng Mo looked stunned.
This is a woman's dowry?!
