In the middle of summer, Jin Nian finally looked forward to Su Ziang.

She was instructing the maid to put on a thin screen window, when the cuckoo came in and said, "Sixth Miss, the eldest young master is back, and now he is talking in Ronghua Hall, and a few young ladies are rushing over!" ”

"Really?" Jin Nian was overjoyed and couldn't wait to get out of the wing.

When Jin Nian arrived, he saw Su Ziang sitting at the bottom of the old lady, he had sparse eyebrows and eyes, wearing a cyan bamboo straight jacket, and he was dressed as a humble gentleman.

Compared with before entering Beijing, he has lost a lot of weight, although he has fallen off the list, but he looks depressed and depressed, but more stable.

Su Ziang was talking to the old lady, Jin Nian was not bothered, she stood beside Liu and listened quietly.

Su Ziang said: "After reading the article of the first three people this time, Sun Er felt that there was a lot of gap, and it was reasonable that he failed to be named on the gold list. That Gu Shilang read his article, and also suggested that he would be more sure of the next session, but he was not convinced at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it is because he thinks very highly of himself.

When the old lady heard this, she comforted: "You are young, and there will be more opportunities in the future, and this time it will be an experience." ”

She has always had high hopes for this eldest grandson, but the matter has come to an end, and she can only persuade her with good words, and besides, Su Fu used to be a three-jinshi, so she doesn't believe that her grandson can be so bad!

Su Ziang thought so, "What my grandmother said is that although I didn't go to high school in Beijing this time, I also met many close friends, and I tried my talent again, which can be regarded as a harvest!" ”

I thought that in just three months in the capital, I met a few friends who could talk to each other, and I read and played in my spare time...... Su Ziang's face had an undisguised smile.

Liu, who was on the side, had been paying attention to his son, and seeing that his smile was sincere, it didn't seem to be a fake, so he was secretly relieved, as long as he wasn't depressed, he would take the exam again in three years.

After talking about the imperial examination, the old lady asked the old man in Beijing again, "Have you seen your sister?" How is she, she hasn't seen me write to my old woman for so long, and besides, the Gu family and the Ning family are still in good health? ”

Su Jinxi, the eldest lady of Su Mansion, married Ning Yuanhou's second son last year, but she lived for half a month when she returned to Beijing, and only came to write a letter of peace every three months after returning to Beijing.

And the old lady in the Gu family refers to Gu Yanyi's grandmother, the two often corresponded when they were young, as for Ning Lao'an, it refers to the old lady's eldest sister-in-law.

Su Ziang replied one by one, and then took out a folded envelope from his wide sleeve, "This is a letter from Gu Lao'an to his grandmother." He handed it to the old lady and said, "The two old people also said that the grandmother was free and would definitely go to Beijing to see them." ”

When the old lady heard this, she became a little sad: "I have been away from Beijing for many years, and I don't know if I can go back again!" ”

Back then, because her mother-in-law was seriously ill, the old lady had just entered the cabinet, and she had to leave the capital and return to Yangzhou with the child alone.

The fourth lady Cui's maiden family is also in the capital, and when she heard this, she followed the old lady's words and said: "Why can't it, or else, let's go back to Beijing together for the New Year this year?" It's good for my mother to catch up with my mother! "It's been more than a month since the Skinny Horse incident, and it's clear that Cui Shi has accepted the reality.

The old lady was just sentimental for a while, and after listening to Cui's words, she smiled and said: "There is still more than half a year before the end of the year, and you are thinking about it here!" ”

She opened the letter in her hand as she spoke, and the corners of her mouth smiled unconsciously: "Not to mention that it is so far, Brother Ang has been in the Gu Mansion for two months, and thanks to the care of Scholar Gu, now that he has returned to Yangzhou, he should also invite Brother Gu to come to his house for a meal, and we should also take care of Brother Ang." Speaking of which, since Brother Ang went to the capital, Gu Jiashiro rarely came to the mansion. ”

For the old lady's thoughtfulness, Su Ziang thanked him again.

When Liu Shi heard this, he smiled and said, "What my mother said is that I will order it when I turn around." ”

Su Ziang saw that there was nothing wrong with him, and coupled with the hard work of the past two months, after sitting for a long time at this moment, he began to feel sleepy and yawned continuously.

He had to get up and say goodbye and go back to the outer courtyard to rest.

Seeing this, Jin Nian also followed out of Ronghua Hall, and she caught up with Su Ziang with a "snort", "Big brother, I have a good soothing incense there, do you need some to help you sleep?" ”

She smiled and looked at Su Ziang, only to see that there was a faint dark blue in his eyes, but he was afraid that he would be able to fall asleep as soon as he turned his head, and it was just a topic for her to bring the two closer together.

However, Su Ziang was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't have any impression of this cousin, he only knew that she didn't talk much, so he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to talk to him today, and even send him an incense.

"Thank you, Sixth Sister, I'm not used to using incense." He smiled warmly, thought about it, and said, "I brought some gifts back from the capital, and I will send them to the sixth sister when I go back." ”

When Jin Nian heard this, she cheered in her heart, she was worried about what excuse she should use to send something to Su Ziang, and now that Su Ziang wants to give her a gift, it is natural for her to give him a gift again.

"Thank you, big brother!" She happily thanked Su Ziang, and then ran away quickly and went to Fuhuayuan.

That bright, heartfelt smile made Su Ziang stunned, it was just a small gift, is it worth being so happy?

Su Ziang was puzzled, shook his head with a smile, and went to the outer courtyard.

Jin Nian has been staying in Fuhuayuan.

After dinner, the magpie girl next to the Liu family came over.

She respectfully greeted the Xie family, which explained her intention, "The family banquet is scheduled for tomorrow, and it will be by the water pavilion in Ronghua Hall, and I will bother the third lady and the sixth lady to go over to help." ”

Jin Nian responded happily, and thinking that she might meet Gu Yanyi tomorrow, her heart began to be a little inexplicably upset.

She still couldn't let go after all......
