A pill of cool moon hanging willow tops.

Xu Ling, Xu Lan and his son chose the lotus pavilion next to the pine wall to sit.

The little girl lit a mutton fat lamp, and sent a jar of autumn dew white, and a few plates of pickled and fresh lo-mei, that is, quickly retreated.

Xu Lan picked up the jar and poured it into her father's cup, and then herself, the smell of wine was overflowing, and a dog smelled the fragrance and knew it, lying on the edge of the table and sticking out her tongue to wait for the reward.

He raised his neck to take a sip of wine, silently watched the moonlight stain the courtyard as white as a silver sea, and asked in a dumb voice for a while: "The cousin who surrendered, the looted Feng Shunyu, and the old Shen Ge married a wife, and my father didn't want to talk to me about many things?" ”

Xu Ling chewed the smoked intestines, heard this, turned his face away, and glared at him: "If you don't ask, how can I say?" If you had told me your thoughts earlier, why did you fall to Si today, your father boasted that his poetry and book strategy was not as good as Shen Er, but he did not lose his temperament and broad mind, otherwise how could your mother abandon the Confucian scholar and follow me as a general. ”

"My mother didn't go with you, you snatched it from the sedan chair." Xu Lan tugged at the corners of his mouth, he heard this matter so that his ears were calloused, and he secretly asked his mother, who was a handful of tears and a handful of snot to restore the truth, and snorted coldly, I regret it now!

It is because his father is in his heart that he is forcibly robbed, and he lacks wisdom to make a barbarian existence, and as he gets older, Xu Lan would rather chat with his mother and relatives than mention more words to his father.

"Your mother is a beautiful girl, if you are unwilling, you will die early, can you still do a good job until now, and give birth to you bunnies?" Xu Ling seemed to see through Xu Lan's thoughts, and drank the wine down: "She is a boiled duck with a hard mouth!" “

Xu Lan smiled very lightly, although his father was rough but not rough, he was taught.

Xu Ling poured himself a glass of wine, threw the leftover chicken bones away, and watched the dog get up and chase away.

The cool breeze has a letter, the wind and the moon are boundless, he is rare to be so calm, and he is heart-to-heart with Wu'er: "I shouldn't send you to the Guozijian, the general's temperament grinds out of the sour smell, you remember, no matter whether it is a battlefield or whatever, you must kill decisively, vigorously and resolutely, if you have a little bit of softness, this home is someone else." “

Xu Lan's face suddenly flashed with a look of loneliness and loss, and he didn't want to say this anymore, he asked, "What is the origin of cousin Tian Jiang?" What are my father and Shen Ge Lao conspiring against? Please also speak bluntly and listen to your son. “

Xu Ling sighed.

...............................

Tian Jiang had already washed and slept peacefully, and it was difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply sat in his arms, took a book casually, and looked at it under the lamp.

I suddenly heard someone outside the window giving a, disturbing the quiet.

She curiously stepped on her shoes, lifted the curtain and went out of the room, stood under the porch and listened attentively, and the maid Cuimei also came over in her clothes and said with a smile: "It's the fifth master who is blowing the flute." ”

Listen to the sound of the flute leisurely, the sound around the beams, slowly raise the song from the lips, fingertips turn a thousand times, say what the autumn moon of the Pinghu Lake, and like the old dream of the old garden, the old dream was suddenly broken by the birds in the forest, but it turned out to be the plum blossom three lanes.

Tian Jiang asked Cuimei to fetch her guqin.

After a long time, the piano case embroidery stool was cleaned up, Tian Jiang sat down, looked at the stove of sandalwood and green smoke, fingers lightly pulled the strings, a deep sound trembled like a dragon's groan, and the sound of the flute was slightly light and low and as usual.

The two of them sang together with the flute, and the Dongmei went through the wind and frost sword, and the unyielding meaning was still vivid.

Tian Jiang sang casually: "The cowardly single clothes are gradually becoming westerly strong, the hibiscus is fragrant, the sycamore is shadowing, the flowers and trees are frightened, broken, and go to the road." The lights are sandalwood, the east wind is thin, where is the, the plum blossoms are three lanes, and the road is full of red and sends, Jun, cherish. ”

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, Tian Jiang waited for half a pillar of incense, the rhyme did not sound again, she yawned, and it was late at night, so she was helped up by Cuimei, and went back to the room to rest without mentioning it.

............................

Time flies like lightning, and within a few days, the Shen Mansion sent financial gifts, but when he saw the Tsing Yi man who came with him, he picked up the financial gifts one after another from outside the door to the main hall, and it was not finished after most of the day.

This Liang Guogong Mansion is also a big family in the capital, who in the mansion has not seen the world, and at this time, especially those young daughters-in-law in the back house, they are talking about each other, and they are amazed, envious and jealous, and there are all kinds of tastes.

Mrs. Xu handed the list of financial gifts to Tian Jiang and looked at it, with a smile on her face, and quipped: "The Shen family is full of sincerity, the old lady and Second Master Shen can love you so much, and I can rest assured that you will marry." ”

Tian Jiang has seen ten lines at a glance, in addition to a load of 100 catties of bridgets, eight-style seafood, three livestock and big fish, sheep hop tea and fruit boxes..... and other kinds of customary financial gifts. He also included 3,000 taels of dowry, plus five taels of jade and silver jewelry, all kinds of silk and satin cloth, and ten taels ........of clothes for the four seasons.

The more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, the second master was rich and rich, and she didn't need to show off like this.

Cuimei usually opens her mouth and closes her mouth about the customs of the capital, Tian Jiang knows that this financial gift is too much, and her dowry cannot be less...... But she only has a hundred taels of silver on her body, and Mrs. Xu readily agreed to buy a dowry for her, but she didn't want to spend more money on other people's money, after all, it was not a relative.

Mrs. Xu looked at her frowning and embarrassed, so she smiled and said: "Miss Tian is not anxious, I can't hide it, Second Master Shen gave me ten thousand taels of silver and a few land deeds, press the dowry for you, and then count the share I prepared, you just wait for the scenery to marry." ”

Tian Jiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, Second Master Shen was really thoughtful and thoughtful.

Hanging her neck and glancing at the dense words on the list of financial gifts, she suddenly felt that she was really going to get married.

In addition, the Shen Mansion is even more lively.

Mrs. Chen, who is familiar with the British public family every day, Mrs. Li Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Mrs. Yu Shi Gaoda, who are familiar with each other every day, come to the door every few corners to help.

Gathered together to look at the newly sent phoenix crown Xia Wei, but when they saw the red eyes, the dragon and phoenix peony embroidered with gold and silver threads were as smart as alive, and they all sighed, only the most famous tailor shop in the capital, and there was no such superb embroidery.

Old Madam Shen shook her head and said, "This phoenix crown is not from the hand of a tailor's shop, it was made by a retired palace maid for seven days and seven nights. ”

"That palace maid is called Wanniang? Isn't she blind? Mrs. Gao asked in surprise.

Speaking of this Wan Niang is also a strange woman, she was a palace maid in the palace, with a delicate heart, very good at sewing and embroidering the art of needlework, even if it is a square veil, are a hundred times more delicate than others embroidery, to the end of her service in the palace, the concubines who served her did not allow her to leave the palace, if she had to beg to go, she needed to self-destruct her eyes before leaving, she didn't say a word, picked up the silver needle in her hand and poked her blind, and now in a small town ten miles away from Beijing, she lived with her brother's family.

"Shen Er personally went to find her." Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "Although she is blind, her hands are not broken, and the embroidery art is kept in mind, and now she only occasionally makes one or two pieces, and such a phoenix crown is only done this time, and she will not move in the future." ”
