Chapter 174: Qingming 1 (Little Lord's Vinegar)
"Yo, we will be sisters too." Xie Yuanniang smiled and squeezed her eyes with Drunken Dong.
Ling Mei didn't feel blushing either.
The atmosphere in Qingshan Courtyard was cheerful, and Xie Wenhui heard Yanxin's report, "That is to say, the pen and ink used in the house over the years have been taken from my grandfather's shop." ”
Yanxin nodded, "The slave maid saw that Mother Liu brought someone back, and went to the lady's courtyard again, and then Mother Liu went out in person, and the slave maid went to the porter to inquire, and the porter happened to talk to someone for a few words." ”
Xie Wenhui looked at the pen and ink sent by Liu's mother just now, "Let people put things away." ”
My grandmother's family loves Xie Yuanniang, Xie Fu can use things in the shop for nothing, it must be my grandfather's family who deliberately favors Xie Yuanniang, and my mother explained to her yesterday, maybe she was afraid that the truth would be spread, and then let her grandfather know.
As long as she thought of using Xie Yuanniang's benefits like a thief, Xie Wenhui felt panicked.
Baozhi and Yanxin couldn't guess the girl's thoughts, and Baozhi put away the rice paper after listening.
Xie Wenhui bit her lip, "And then?" What's going on with Mother? ”
"Madame's side didn't have long before someone wrote a letter and sent it away, and I heard that it was sent to Jiangning County."
Xie Wenhui couldn't guess, she knew that her mother rarely wrote letters to her grandfather's family, and she usually had few contacts, so she didn't understand why she suddenly wrote to her grandfather's family.
She thought about it a lot, but she didn't connect it with the matter of the pen and ink shop.
It has entered April, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the palace test is in the second half of the year, after getting Ren Xianhong's promise, Xie Yuanniang has been staying in the house very peacefully these days, and there are not many people she comes and goes on weekdays, except for the newly met Wang Boyan little fat man, no one is looking for her.
There are two days of Qingming Festival, after paying tribute to the ancestors, each family will also set up a meal in the field, the Yaren will also call that day the 'Tuyi outside the door', that day in the suburbs of the activities of a lot of 'Keju', 'one day kite' and swing competition.
Qingming does not wear willows, and he will become a pig and dog in the next life.
The day before the Qingming Festival, the mother-in-law in the house had already picked willow branches and inserted them on the door, which meant that the ghosts would not enter the house.
There are a lot of activities in the suburbs of Qingming, and the women in the boudoir can also go out to play openly and honestly, even without wearing a gauze cover, without taking into account the fact that men and women play together, which is a very festive day.
Xie Yuanniang was also looking forward to it, she didn't participate in it, because after calculating Gu Tingzhi, she married into the Gu Mansion before Chunqiu, and Gu Tingzhi didn't participate in Chunqiu and went out of home to go to the border.
There is no entanglement with Gu Tingzhi in this life, and Xie Yuanniang finally no longer has to bear the reputation of hurting Gu Tingzhi and refusing to participate in the Spring Festival.
The matter with Ren Xianhong was determined again, Xie Yuanniang also wanted to go to the suburbs to relax on Qingming Day, so she wrote a letter to Wang Boyan's little fat man a day in advance, and after making an appointment to go out together with Qingming, she pulled the girl in the yard to make kites together.
Xie Wenhui is not as relaxed as Xie Yuanniang, when she heard that Xie Yuanniang still had the mind to make kites, her face became more and more ugly, Su Fu was still staring, she still had the mind to play.
Xie Wenhui was annoyed that he wanted to solve the trouble of the big backer behind Su Fu not staring at Xie Fu, but he couldn't think of anything, and now he just hoped that Gu Yuan's side would rehabilitate General Liu as soon as possible, so that Su Fu would accept Xie Fu and snatch the credit, and the matter was concluded, and everything was calm.
On the day of Qingming, there were a lot of people in the suburbs, and after Xie Yuanniang got off the carriage, Kong told her on the side, "Don't cause trouble." ”
I still wanted to say a few more words, but the ladies of the families who had made an appointment over there had already arrived, the Kong family took Xie Wenhui away, and Xie Yuanniang made an appointment with the daughter of the Wang Yushi family alone, and the Kong family also knew.
Xie Yuanniang counted the time, and the time to make an appointment with Wang Boyan was still early, so she took Ling Mei to the stall selling things first, there were many gadgets of all kinds, not expensive but for please.
Xie Yuanniang bought two sugar people, and finally saw that there were chicks for sale, and bought two for Ling Mei to carry, Keju was not here, far away from the open space, surrounded by colorful flags, Xie Yuanniang didn't like that, to think of finding a vacant place to fly a kite first, she made an appointment with Wang Boyan to let her find a kite with a dragonfly, and she could find someone.
Before I could find a vacant space, I saw a group of sons of the family coming on horseback from a distance, flying dust all the way, causing everyone in the surrounding area to avoid it.
Xie Yuanniang took Ling Mei down the path and stepped into the grass, the group of people rode over, but the person who took the lead turned around alone, rode to Xie Yuanniang not far in front of him and strangled the reins.
Xie Yuanniang saw the person who came and saluted, "Little lord." ”
There were a lot of people on the road, and Jiang Cai rode fast, but he still recognized Xie Yuanniang in the crowd at a glance, with a delicate yellow figure, like a gust of wind that could be blown away.
Jiang Cai saw her perfunctory, and then thought of the confession of Xie Yuanniang and Ren Xianhong, his chest was stuffy, he rode a horse and spared Xie Yuanniang's master and servant twice before stopping, looking straight at Xie Yuanniang and not speaking.
This man is sick.
Xie Yuanniang was too lazy to take care of him, and she didn't know what illness he was guilty of, so she asked Lingmei to go forward.
Jiang Cai clamped the horse between his legs and followed, "Xie Er, let's bow today, you come and see, the master will let you see what a little white face is today." ”
As he spoke, he felt that this was wrong, so he changed his words, "Let you see if those little white faces are useless." ”
"Back to the little lord, I made an appointment." If he didn't know that arguing with him would only make him entangled, Xie Yuanniang really wanted to stop and ask him a few words, 'Why did he bow down and she had to go to see it'?
Jiang Cai was not happy that she refused, and as soon as her eyes turned, she had a calculation, and she didn't ask again, and rode away.
As soon as the others left, Ling Meicai whispered, "Girl, the little lord seems to be unhappy today." ”
"How can he be happy if he doesn't bully people." Xie Yuanniang replied casually.
Ling Mei thought about it, this is indeed the reason, and the place where there is a little lord is really not peaceful.
The master and servant finally stopped in a place with few tourists, and there were several women standing together, watching the girls around them fly kites.
The master and servant picked a place, and Ling Mei put down the things in her hand, and then turned on the kite, Xie Yuanniang leaned over, "You can hold it in place for a while, and I'll release it." ”
Ling Mei Yingxia, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the girl flying a kite, anyway, her girl was different from other girls in the boudoir.
The kite is a little big, and then it is paved after opening, and the line has to be released, and the master and servant look around while making it, so that Mei Yan secretly pointed not far away.
"Girl, it's Miss Ren."
Hearing that it was Ren Zhenzhen, Xie Yuanniang looked over and saw that Ren Zhenzhen, who was dressed in a pink dress, was particularly conspicuous among several women, not good-looking, but her timid and timid style of bowing her head, which made it impossible for people not to notice.
