Chapter 53: Summer
Date: 212-12-3
In the evening, Li Danruo didn't wait for Jiang Yanming to go back to Jiang Yanming, Jiang Yanming had dinner in the study, and went directly to the West Cross Courtyard. \[\]
Before dawn the next day, Jiang Yanming knocked on the door and entered the house, leaned into the inner room, and saw that Li Danruo was still wrapped in a quilt and had not yet risen, so he came in lightly, sat on the bed, squeezed Li Danruo's side and said with a smile: "Let me go inside, let me sleep for a while." Li Danruo was bored and simply sat up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed and said, "It's time for me to get up, you can sleep by yourself." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Jiang Yanming to answer, and went straight to the back clean room to wash.
When Li Danruo washed up and changed his clothes and came in, Jiang Yanming had already cleaned up, changed into a silver and blue robe, sat on the couch refreshed, and saw Li Danruo come in, and said with a smile: "You sent someone yesterday to tell me something important, what's the matter?" Li Danruo didn't bother to raise his eyelids, sat sideways on the couch, picked up the porridge and took a sip slowly, "It's okay." ”
Jiang Yanming looked at her, and he was not in a hurry to go out after eating, and talked to Li Danruo's side, talking about some fresh jokes outside: "...... By the way, I heard that this year's birthday is more lively than which year, and the stage has been set up outside Wansheng Gate, let me take you to see the excitement? ”
"What's so nice." Li Danruo dialed the abacus, looked at the mid-year account book in his hand, and replied without raising his head, Jiang Yanming sat down next to Li Danruo, Li Danruo was tired of messing with the abacus, turned his head to look at Jiang Yanming and said, "It's such a hot day!" Jiang Yanming was embarrassed to stand or sit, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times, seeing that there was no maid in the house, his face was a little better, he sat down a little farther away, looked at Li Danruo and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?" I haven't been in it for more than a month, and you see, I don't go very often. ”
Li Danruo raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, at this moment, she just didn't want to see him, no matter how difficult it was to think of many things, when it really came to her head, she knew how difficult it was.
"I still have a bunch of things, don't spend it in this house, it's the right thing to go to the study outside, or don't go to Huiwen." Li Danruo lowered his head and said, Jiang Yanming hesitated for a moment and smiled: "Okay, you're busy, I don't have anything to do today, you wait for me to come back for dinner at noon, what do you want to eat and play?" I bought it for you? ”
"You can eat in the study at noon, I will let someone send it to you, today at noon I invited the nine sisters to come over to talk, and said that they would stay for lunch, you are not cheap." Li Danruo rearranged the abacus beads, lowered his head and said, Jiang Yanming opened the fan box and took a folding fan and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll come back early in the evening to accompany you, look at this account slowly, don't be tired." ”
"Well," Li Danruo flipped through the account book with one hand, dialed the abacus beads with the other, and concentrated on calculating the accounts, Jiang Yanming looked at it for a while and smiled: "Then I'll go." Li Danruo said 'um' again, and Jiang Yanming turned around and went out.
The days of Jiang's Mansion are not much different from those of Li's Mansion, Li Danruo's life is stable and calm, June is low, Li Lingbo still set the eldest prince's side concubine Yue's maiden cousin Yue Qiye, Mrs. Ning was annoyed, coupled with the hot weather, she fell ill and fell into bed, Li Danruo Jiang Yanming accompanied by Jiang Yanming went back to visit every other day, picking good words to persuade Mrs. Ning to relieve Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning sighed loudly, as if she was discouraged, she didn't mention it, she was only willing to say some old stories from previous years, but she said a lot with Yang's family, Li Dan was faintly frightened, They all say seventy-three, eighty-four......
In the middle of July, Di Tuiguan Jingfu Tuiguan has been in office for ten years, and finally the prince is strongly recommended, promoted to Jingdong East Road to mention the prison envoy, and he took office with high spirits, Di Tuiguan took office, but only brought two concubines, Li Yuju was because the child was young, both of them were weak, and stayed in the capital to recuperate, Li Danruo was worried about the illness of Mrs. Ning, I heard that Li Yuju did not accompany him, stayed for a while, and it was not a bad thing to think about it, the child is now less than a year old, not to mention the long-distance fatigue, to Jingdong East Road, after all, it is different from the water and soil in the capital, besides, Li Yuju didn't have to look at her husband, nor did she have to compete for favor, she didn't have to go with her, in fact, it didn't matter, she wanted to open it, and sent Shen Mama over to take a look, and when she came back, she heard that it was okay, so she put it aside for the time being.
Fortunately, Mrs. Ning's health is getting better, Li Danruo is in a relaxed mood, and she discussed with Mrs. Cheng about Lu Xinglin's next post to congratulate her mother on her birthday: "...... Speaking of which, Lu Sanniang married the Wei family in the south of the Yangtze River, and still had some friendship with our Jiang family in the previous dynasty, but later the Jiang family declined, and the two families stopped moving, and now the Wei family is a lot quieter. ”
"No, the Wei family's capital is not up or down, but in the south of the Yangtze River, the Wei family can be regarded as a county." Li Danruo smiled and continued, Mrs. Cheng nodded again and again: "The Wei family's poetry and book family, with a profound heritage, if you talk about Jiangnan, it is true that the Wei family wants to say that it is the second, and no one dares to take the lead, over the years, there have been many people in Jiangnan, who have become high-ranking officials, and the three princes have also been killed, but in the end, they have lost their heritage, most of them are still from the Wei family, Lu Sanniang's family can marry into the Wei family, it is also a blessing, the child is lively and refreshing, and his heart is also good, and he is also a blessing, the eldest wife of the Wei family, I heard that she is also gentle and easy to get along with. ”
"Well, I heard that the third lady and the fourth master of the Wei family are also very compatible." Li Danruo smiled, Mrs. Cheng seemed to think of something, looked at Li Danruo and smiled: "I remembered, you see, can you bring your sister with you?" Even if you are a companion, this eldest wife of the Wei family will be a birthday, and there must be a lot of old friends in the next life, and if you can make friends with the Wei family, the foundation of the family will not be bad, and you may be able to meet a good marriage. ”
Li Danruo nodded hurriedly and smiled: "What's wrong with this?" Who should I take with my wife? ”
"It's up to you, you can take whoever is suitable, you have a good relationship with the third lady of the Lu family, and you know which one she can like when you bring it over, so she has to look at it well."
"A few sisters are so good, which one to bring over, the three ladies have to like it, the fifth sister is old, just take the fifth sister there, what did the wife say?"
"Done! Let someone tell her, you take care of it more, the fifth sister is sensible. Mrs. Cheng agreed with a smile, and Li Danruo accompanied her for a while to talk about the old words of the Jiang family and the Wei family before returning home.
Mrs. Cheng sent someone over to tell the Liang family and Jiang Yanxia, but the Liang family didn't pay much attention to this, she was worried about Jiang Yancheng's family affairs and next year's imperial examination.
Jiang Yanxia was not happy, and asked Li Danruo in the evening if he was empty, Tete came over to thank him, and asked some Wei family taboos, and then went back to prepare.
Jiang Yanxia wanted to follow Li Danruo to the birthday banquet of the eldest wife of the Wei family, which reached the ears of the sixth lady Jiang Yanfen, Jiang Yanfen was stunned for a moment, and understood that this was with the intention of going to the banquet......
Jiang Yan turned back and forth a few times irritably, bringing one is also a belt, isn't it also a belt with two, she is only a month younger than the fifth lady, and she is not too small, she has to think about it, the old lady can't talk there, second wife? Forget it, if she is willing to worry about herself, she doesn't have to fight for this opportunity, Ninth Sister? Forget it, she is a little girl's family, besides, if the second wife knows, even if she is not punished, how much annoyance will she have to add, or go directly to find the fifth sister-in-law? Jiang Yanfen wrung her hands, she was not familiar with the fifth sister-in-law, she brought the fifth lady but not herself...... Or, find a second sister-in-law to talk about it? On weekdays, he is close to his second sister-in-law, and it is appropriate to let the second sister-in-law help talk about this, Jiang Yanfen made up her mind, and did not delay, and hurriedly went to the courtyard of the second grandmother Su.
It just so happened that the second grandfather Jiang Yanshu was not in the courtyard, Jiang Yanfan went all the way into the upper room, signaled Second Grandma Su to retreat from Yahuan, and said it shyly and timidly, Second Grandma Su took a sip of tea and glanced at her for a while before smiling: "You are really!" I still want to hug this thick leg, and I don't want to think about whether I can hold it, the seventh sister and the flute in June, you see, aren't people also a tired silk golden hairpin sent away? The seventh sister is a serious girl, you, forget it. ”
"Isn't the third sister-in-law also a golden hairpin?" Jiang Yanfen laughed and argued, Su Er Grandma threw the tea bowl in her hand on a few places, and 'hummed' and said: "Say that you are a bad heart, you really don't turn your mind, can she be the same as the third grandmother?" How much dowry does the third grandmother enter the door? How much dowry does she have? As soon as the dowry was brought in, it was just for the sake of people's eyes? The seventh sister and Lu gave such a big gift, and they also sent away a golden hairpin? Speaking of which, my dowry is not as good as her, and I am not as inattentive to people as she is, I think you still forget it, I want to take you with you, I have already brought it, and I still need to be so stubborn? Don't rub this faceless, it's not that I won't tell you, I'll tell you, it's useless to say it, you, don't look at the thick legs and hug it, how can people look at you. ”
Jiang Yanfen was embarrassed and embarrassed, tied her hands, and couldn't speak for a long time, Su Er's grandmother shook her with the back of her hand with a sneer: "Okay, okay, everyone wants to marry a good family, but this person, his heart can't be too high, Wei family...... The threshold is high, but it's hard to climb, everyone has their own life, it's good to be safe, speaking of you, a girl's family, this is a lot of eyes, when I'm as old as you, how can I know this? As soon as I hear someone talk about family affairs, I don't dare to listen to it, you ......" Su Er's grandmother giggled: "Let's not see each other, I'm just saying, don't worry about it, there are mothers, mothers-in-law, and aunts in this family, you are so anxious to roar, it's a joke!"
Jiang Yanfen's face turned purple when she said it, and she didn't dare to turn her face, so she reluctantly said a few words with shame and indignation, and hurriedly resigned.
