Chapter 29 The Imperial Examination

This Mrs. Liu is indeed like Li Jinrui said, can see people and talk about people, see ghosts and talk nonsense, coax people and ghosts are happy, but if only this, can not enter the eyes of Mrs. Ning, from the small family of the Shaofu supervisor and supervisor, married into the Li family who was extremely prosperous at that time as the chief daughter-in-law of the long house, this Mrs. Liu's advantage lies in the fact that she is sleek and does not offend people when she sees what people say, she never makes people annoying, she is sleek and sincere, she can communicate with people, can help and help, and is never stingy, in the capital, no one dares to say that her popularity is better, Li Yujing's promotion has also benefited a lot from this.

For Li Jinrui's family affairs, she really put her heart into it, and carefully selected the most suitable ones to come out, Miao replied, although Mrs. Liu said that she was still talking and laughing, half of it. No' didn't say the word, but in the bottom of his heart he was a little troubled, sending Miao away, Mrs. Liu called her eldest daughter-in-law Dai to come in, and discussed how many more they found, these few are not as good as the first time to mention the people, naturally it is not successful, so back and forth four or five times, Mrs. Liu is annoyed, and it is not good to bother Mrs. Ning and Li Yujing because of this, so she can only mutter and complain to her daughter-in-law Dai in private, and Dai can't think of any good way, so she can only think of a relieved word to persuade and ask around about the right people.

Just entered the middle of March, the provincial test was opened, the dragon gate was closed when the sky was bright, and the Nanqiao tile bet on whether Jiang Wuye wanted to keep the filial piety and abandon the test of the spring of the handicap on the result, Shen Mama ran to the Nanqiao tile early in the morning to take the silver that paid twenty back, Wei Zi took the eighty taels of silver ticket from Shen Mama's hand, and stayed for a long time before laughing and screaming, Yao Huang hurriedly stepped forward and patted her and smiled: "Okay, okay, if you are happy, you will be happy, jump well, don't shout so loudly, let the housekeepers hear it for a while, and teach us again. ”

Wei Ziyuan stared at Yao Huang with a silver ticket and couldn't speak, shook a few times, thought about something at once, turned around and was about to rush out: "Alas, I have to go and kowtow to the girl quickly, it's all thanks to the girl!"

Yao Huang was angry and laughed, and hurriedly pulled her back: "You come back!" The girl came down after a while, and when she returned to the courtyard, she couldn't knock her head on how much, and went to buy a gambling game in the tile, this thing can be called a shout, it's okay, you go to drink a cup of herbal tea and go quietly, pack up your things, and when the girl comes back and kowtow, you hurry back and give the silver ticket to your mother, quickly pay off the debt, stay for another night, talk to your mother, your mother is relieved, this body may be fine. Wei Zi nodded in response, jumping in the yard excitedly.

Li Danruo came back from the main courtyard, as soon as he turned the screen, Wei Zi rushed over with his skirt, and before Li Danruo could react, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, Li Danruo hurriedly smiled: "Fat Hong quickly helped her up, and she got a few taels of silver for nothing, and she was happy to be like this." ”

"The girl knows everything? One pays twenty, which is eighty taels of silver! Eighty taels! It's all thanks to the girl. Wei Zimei smiled and said, Li Danruo pushed her, motioned her to go in, and said with a smile as she walked: "You don't have to thank me for this, it's not a blessing to me, you have to thank you, you have to thank Shen Mama well, it was Shen Mama who got this letter, and she wanted to buy it herself, knowing that you and your mother were short of silver, Tete went to look for you to buy it, so you had to thank Shen Mama for it." ”

"Mama Shen naturally wants to thank you, don't hide it from the girl, not only this one, for most of the past six months, Mama has not helped us less, Mama, I have another thanks, but the girl also wants to thank here, if it weren't for the girl's guidance, Mama and I wouldn't have been able to get this lottery." Wei Zixi smiled.

"One more thing, even if it's not the girl's guidance, you should thank the girl, if it weren't for the uncle's love to give birth to this filial piety, where would you and your grandmother earn this lottery?" Fat red came over from behind and smiled, Li Danruo raised his hand and flicked his fat red forehead and smiled: "You are making fun of me!" Fat Red sighed exaggeratedly, covered his forehead with both hands and smiled: "How dare you!" Is that telling the truth?"

"Anyway, I thanked the girl, what aunt and girl's, there are all there, and I have to beg the girl to let me go back quickly, take this silver ticket to exchange for scattered cash, and buy some good fruits and snacks, accompany my mother to pay off the account from house to house, I have been owed for many years, pay off the account, this big stone in my mother's heart is gone, I can sleep peacefully, I have calculated, these eighty taels, pay off the account, and there are still more than eight taels of silver left!"

"Go, go, don't rush back, finish the matter, stay with your mother for another day and come back." Li Danruo smiled and waved his hand, Wei Zi thanked him, turned his head to look at Fat Hong and said with a smile: "Hurry up and ask me, what do you want to eat, I will bring it back to you when I come back, and I will spend a few taels of silver!"

Fat Hong pointed at Wei Zi, turned her head to look at Dou Lu and said in surprise: "Look at it, even she is generous, on weekdays, it is difficult for her to get a big sum out, and it will cost a few taels of silver to invite us to eat snacks!"

"Dead Nizi, it's not that you don't know that my family is difficult, go and ask, it's too late!" Wei Zi unceremoniously gave Fat Hong a violent chestnut, Dou Lu pulled Fat Hong and smiled: "Let's hurry up and ask, it's rare for her to be generous, you can't cheap her!"

The little girls in the yard were lively, Li Danruo stood and watched with a smile for a while, turned around and entered the house, Yao Huang hurriedly lifted the curtain to let Li Danruo, followed up and made a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Mama Shen still left two taels of silver for me, let me invite the big guy to eat snacks for her." ”

"Well," Li Danruo sat on the kang, took the tea and drank two sips, Yao Huang turned around and took a small bag and said with a smile: "This is what Mama Shen brought over, and it is something that Han Sanniang of Lambgrass Hutong asked her to bring to the girl." Li Danruo hurriedly put down the cup, opened the baggage, and saw two pairs of extremely delicate purses, one pair of gourd-shaped, the other pair of ingot-shaped, embroidered with peonies, stones and other auspicious folded branch flowers.

Li Danruo took one and looked at it carefully, and Yao Huang also took one and exclaimed: "This is Han Sanniang's craftsmanship?" This needlework is not worse than our needlework room, it is very meticulous, this color pattern is on the top, and it can be stronger than a few points, the girl sees, this must be a special trip to the girl to embroider, the girl looks here, how beautiful this string of small pomegranates is, so small, how many strands have to be split into the thread to embroider so delicately. Li Danruo turned to the top of the inner layer of the purse, and sure enough, he saw a very small and clear string of red pomegranates, and the pomegranates at the back bloomed slightly, revealing the crystal seeds inside.

"Well, last time I saw that the third brother used an old fan cover, which is more delicate than this, and when I asked by the way, the third brother blushed." Li Danruo pursed his lips and smiled while carefully checking the purses one by one, Yao Huang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The girl knows that there is no girl in the third master's yard, and it is an old fan cover, the girl still asks?" ”

"It's not good to bring out the old fan cover, the house is up and down with sharp eyes." Li Danruo said vaguely, Yao Huang understood as soon as he heard it: "That's right, this person didn't enter the door, the fan sleeve is used, it doesn't sound good to pass it out, the third master used to go to the Han family in the past, in case something comes out, the bride will not be a good person when she enters the door in the future, no wonder the girl asked me and Wei Zi to make those purses, fan covers and send them over, the things that came out of the sewing room, the needlework is good, it is a little ingenious, the uncle they never use the sewing room to make these things, fortunately, the third master will get married in May." ”

"Well," Li Danruo responded, and pulled his purse with his hand and said in a low voice: "It seems that this third lady Han listens to the words of the third brother very much, and is also very considerate of the third brother. ”

"But no, the purse does such a kung fu, that is, the hand is fast, and one has to be done for more than a day, well, I'm afraid it's more than that, these four purses, you have to do it for seven or eight days." Yao Huang looked back and forth at the purse and responded, Li Danruo exhaled lightly and smiled: "Well, it's good to be willing to spend effort, if you are willing to spend so much effort on everyone in the mansion after entering the door, everyone will be relieved." ”

"Well, what the girl said, these four purses, should they be put away, or should they be used outside?"

"Let's put it outside, and bring one over for my wife to see at night." Li Danruo said with a smile.

Han Bi sat on a simple calf cart, wrapped in a thick indigo cloak, lifted the curtain, and looked at the surging crowd in front of the Gongyuan from a distance, where did he dare to squeeze up, and when he was anxious, his younger brother Cai Ge'er jumped up and ran over and said: "Eldest sister, I can't squeeze up!" Someone over there copied it out, but you have to buy it with money, one or two pieces of silver, it's really a robbery, it's better to grab it directly!"

Han Bi hurriedly lowered his head and picked out a small silver coin from his purse and stuffed it to Brother Cai'er and said, "Go buy one!" Go quickly!" Brother Cai'er's face was full of astonishment, and Han Bi pushed him anxiously and said, "Go quickly!"

"Hey!" Brother Cai staggered, grabbed the silver bill, and hurried over to buy the list text.
