Afterwards, Qing Dai learned from her little cousin that her grandfather Wang Chongju had been an official all his life, and when he was an official, he was dedicated to government affairs. He has two sons and two daughters under his knees, his son and Qingdai's mother Wang Wanniang are all wives of the old lady Mi family, and the other daughter has already married far away to Yunnan, the eldest son Wang Gan was promoted to the prefect of Jiangning, and the second son Wang Zhang is now a county magistrate in a small county in Yunzhou, and his family members have followed. The old man didn't like to be disturbed by officialdom in Beijing, so when he heard that Wang Gan was going to Jiangning to take office, he followed his eldest son to settle in Jiangnan. Not long after arriving in Jiangning, he somehow fell in love with antique jade again, so the collection of goods at home is increasing day by day, as long as he gets it himself, he is stored in the Biyunchi study for playing at any time.

In order not to discourage the enthusiasm of the elderly, Qing Dai tactfully instructed the little cousin to go to the antique shop to verify the craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty Zhuzi, and the results of the verification can be imagined, and then the little cousin once spoke, and the matter was passed to the aunt. Wang Gan sent someone to arrest the stall owner, but the person had long since disappeared. But a few days later, the girl who cleaned the study went wrong, and the old lady's newly purchased Yueyao melon Ling note died gloriously.

In order to avoid the distress of his father, Wang Gan specially ordered one from the antique store at a high price and sent it to the house. Looking at the Bogu shelf that occupies half of the wall, the old lady consulted professionals for a long time with the enthusiasm of "living to learn from the old". After coming out, the old lady went into the flower garden to remove half a day's grass and water for a day, and on the third day, early in the morning, he asked people to reward half of the ornaments in the study to the people in the house, and from then on concentrate on his gardening business.

Qingdai lived in the house for four or five days, in addition to Wang Tao, she also met Wang Gan's two twin sons, fourteen-year-old Wang Qian and Wang Mo, which made her excited for a long time, staring at the two for a long time, only to see Wang Qian, Wang Mo's faces were flushed, which made Wang Tao's face black for a long time. Wang Qian and Wang Mo are from Wang Gan's concubine Liu, who had a postpartum stroke after giving birth, and went not long after, since Liu's death, Wang Gan has no concubines. Wang Qian and Wang Mo were brought up by the Xuan family, so they were very close to Wang Yang and Wang Tao.

The main masters who should have seen it have all been seen, but the legendary eldest cousin has not been able to see him yet because he is studying in the academy.

Halfway through May, the weather in Jiangning is getting hotter and hotter. The two old ladies were afraid of the cold, and there was no ice in the house, but Qingdai was so hot that she couldn't sleep, so Mrs. Wang let Qingdai move to Xiaoyue, which was near Biyun Pond, and called Gao's two daughters to accompany Qingdai.

The ancestral home of the Wang family is Nancy, which is 100 miles away from Jiangning. Wang Chongju stayed in Beijing as an official in his early years, and the second Wang Chongxing passed away early, leaving a son who is still in Nancy's hometown. And Wang Chongyu, the third master of the Wang family, is a concubine, and after the family split up in the early years, he moved his family to Jiangning, and started a business to buy and sell tea, and the business was good. The eldest son, Wang Yu, married the daughter of the Gao family, a large silk weaver in Suzhou, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, the younger daughter is named Yuye, and she is also Qingdai's current cohabiting playmate. As for the other one, it is the eldest daughter of Wang Yuai's concubine named Jin Zhi.

Although Qingdai prefers to live in a big yard by herself, her grandmother and grandmother are not at ease, so it doesn't matter if you live in two more people. It's just that after these two "golden branches and jade leaves" moved in, they were too conscientious, and every day in addition to asking for peace, they came to Qingdai's house to sit for a while, so that Qingdai almost didn't even have some private space, which made her really depressed.

"Sister Dai, this flower is really well done, it's the first time I've seen such fine workmanship, like the real thing." Jin Zhi carefully touched the fiery red gauze silk rose in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't say that he liked and envied, "I originally thought that the yarn silk flowers from Yunni Fang in the city were already of the highest grade, but when I saw my sister today, I really can't compare." ”

Yuye was lying on the table, her eyes kept staring at the three yarn silk flowers left in the box, picking up this one for a while, picking up that one for a while and taking a look, biting her lip and looking entangled, as if this flower was now presented in front of her for her to choose.

The four silk flowers in this box were brought by Jiu Niangniang for Qingdai to play with from nowhere, and it was said that the ladies in the palace had recently worn them. Qing Dai saw that it was exquisitely done, so she accepted it. The silk hairpin is not like gold and silver jewelry, and it does not have a long lifespan, but she does not treat this so-called latest fashion thing in the palace as a treasure, and puts it on the table casually, so she will let the golden branches and jade leaves see it.

The goose yellow Yingchun and the light green jasmine are very fond of the two green daisies, and the remaining fiery red roses and purple pink azaleas are too bright in color to be her favorite, and besides, her own eldest sister likes to wear red the most, she can only thank Busen. Now that I like to see the golden branches and jade leaves, it is not indispensable to be a favor.

Qing Dai was about to speak, and Yu Ye, who didn't get a satisfactory result in the end, pointed to the box and said to Qing Dai with a smile: "My sister knows a lot of people, and there are a lot of good things." This silk flower looks at you casually, and I haven't seen you wear it, I don't think it's a rare thing, and it's better to give it to my sister for two days. ”

Jin Zhi was older and knew how to be tactful, and begged around the corner. But Yuye looks so arrogant, and gave her to wear it for two days? Isn't that just for her? Qing Dai couldn't help frowning, when she was so small? This kid is really spoiled by the Gao family.

The crescent moon standing behind Qing Dai puffed out her cheeks, rolled her eyes, lowered her head and whispered in Qing Dai's ear: "Girl, look at them like that, they obviously want to be greedy for the silk flowers sent by Young Master Yan." The slave maid told you a long time ago that these two are here, and the good things must be put away first. ”

Qing Dai was dumbfounded and smiled secretly, this is a method.

Seeing that Qingdai didn't pick up the stubble, Yuye thought that she was unwilling, so she looked down at the silk flowers in the box twice, remembering that Miao Shi Niang was wearing silk flowers some time ago.

"Sister, do you have a word? Everyone praises my sister for her generosity, and she is reluctant to take out this idea? ”

Jin Zhi probably knew Yuye's thoughts, but when he saw that she was brute force, he was afraid of upsetting Qingdai, so he hurriedly put down the rose, stretched out his hand and pulled her shirt from the table. Yuye pulled back the placket that Jin Zhi was holding in his hand, glared at Jin Zhi, turned his head and looked at Qing Dai, waiting for her to reply.

I don't like Jin Zhi and Jade Leaf Qingdai, but I don't hate it, but I look very clever and know how to please in front of my elders. In the past few days, the leftists, who are accustomed to seeing them, only feel that the children who grew up in merchant families will have accidents and greed for profit. No matter how good things are, they are all other people's, Yuye has passed the age of ignorance and ignorance, and she should have understood this truth a long time ago, but she has an aggressive posture that she has to ask you to give today, which really makes Qingdai a little unhappy.

Qing Dai picked up the rose flower and turned it around twice in her little hand, looked up and down, raised her eyes and looked at the golden branch twice, nodded to herself, and said slowly: "Sister Jin Zhi's complexion is white, and this red rose is just right." I'm small, I can't suppress this color, so I'll give this flower to my sister to wear. ”

The red rose was handed to Jin Zhi, Jin Zhi couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, he thought that he was embarrassed to ask for it because of Yuye's trouble, but he didn't expect Sister Dai to offer to give it to herself. She was embarrassed to accept it in front of Yuye, waved her hand at the moment, and pushed the flower back, "How embarrassing is this?" ”

"Hey, you're welcome, sister." Qing Dai stuffed the flower into the golden branch's hand, "This flower is a new kind of palace system, and it was rewarded by Mrs. Zhongyihou, the old man in Beijing, and said that it was for the princess and the ladies to wear." I heard my grandmother say that those nobles in the palace are all golden branches and jade leaves. Sister calls the golden branch, isn't this flower also suitable for my sister? ”

"Then my sister is disrespectful. Thank you sister. Jin Zhi happily took the red rose handed by Qing Dai, and wanted to insert it easily, but felt rude, so he hurriedly put down his hand and smiled awkwardly.

Qing Dai glanced at Yuye, saw that her eyes were hot, and was about to speak, so she said again: "Crescent moon, you come and help Sister Jin Zhi plug in and let me take a look." ”

The crescent moon walked up to the golden branch and held the silk flower for a long time before inserting the rose flower into the temples behind the golden branch's right ear.

The stamens of the red rose are made of gold wire, and when the light shines, the fiery red petals are like sprinkling gold, which makes the wild red rose a little more rich and elegant, which makes people shine.

Qingdai clapped her little hands, "It's better than the beauties in the painting." Although this is an exaggeration, it is not too much to put it in Jin Zhi, Jin Zhi's mother is a Qing official who was given to Wang Yu by others, and she has some small names in the Jiangning generation, and she raised a concubine after giving birth to Jin Zhi. Jin Zhi inherited his mother's beauty, with a small face of melon seeds, the corners of his lips raised to make people mistakenly think that he was smiling lightly, a pair of red phoenix eyes are always filled with a puddle of water, with a coquettish feeling of wanting to talk and rest, and it is also the favorite of those men who like drizzle and delicate flowers. Jin Zhi is still young, and if he grows a few years older, he is afraid that it will be more painful.

"Sister Yuye, do you think it's good-looking?"

Yuye looked at the rose on the golden branch and nodded, "It's very good-looking." Anyone can hear the sourness in those words.

The golden branch was embarrassed and wanted to take it off, but Qingdai stopped her, "Don't, don't, just wear it." Let's go and show my grandmother. As he spoke, he was about to pull the golden branch and go out.

Jin Zhi glanced at his sister-in-law, and saw that Yuye's face was very bad, so he hurriedly dragged Qingdai to prevent her from going out, "At this time, the old lady and they are going to take a nap, let's not bother." ”

"Won't you?" Qing Dai blinked and thought, "I just sent someone to ask, Mrs. Qi is here, and my grandmother and grandmother are drinking tea in the hall." ”

Yuye finally couldn't help it, pulled Qing Dai's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Sister Dai, you have promised the eldest sister, what about me?" "Yuye has been watching for a long time, and the golden branch has already gotten one, so why should I divide one myself? But Qingdai didn't say a word, just praised Jin Zhi for being good-looking, and said that it was fake not to be jealous. But after a while, she also found that Qing Dai deliberately ignored her, every time she looked at it, Qing Dai staggered her gaze, and she wanted to interject, but she was also stopped by her words. Reflecting on it at the moment, I am afraid that I have provoked Qingdai to dislike.

Qing Dai didn't respond, her little hand pulled on the three flowers, her eyes looked at the eyes of Yuye, her eyes would be more focused every time she crossed the green jasmine, and she seemed to like this one the most. If it weren't for the trouble just now, if Yuye really begged her, she would also give her Green Jasmine, but it's a pity that this child is used to being used to by the family, and she wants to take everything by herself. Qing Dai lifted the pink cuckoo, shook it in front of her eyes, and said: "My sister has a lot of light-colored shirts, it's too plain, it's better to wear this one, mention the color." ”

"I think that green jasmine goes well with it." Yuye picked up the jasmine and deliberately lowered her voice and muttered.

"Ah, my sister used to like this ...... What can I do? The sixth sister of the Qi family loves Jasmine the most, and the last time I went to her house as a guest, I promised to bring one to her next time. Qing Dai pouted, her face tangled, "Otherwise, when I get back, I'll bring a letter to Brother Jiu and ask him to find another one for my sister...... It's just that these flowers are custom-made, so I don't know if I can find ......."

The Qi family is a well-known scholarly family in Jiangning, and they are also a gentry and celebrity. There has been a prime minister and two scholars in the clan, and their influence among officials in Beijing should not be underestimated. The ancestors of the Wang family were businessmen, but they wanted to improve the status of the family, so they encouraged their children and grandchildren to study and improve. After the first generation, several literati were poured out and some minor officials were made, but in the end, only Wang Gan's father's generation became Beijing officials. Most of the rest rely on their ancestors to leave their land to survive, and there are not many people like Wang San who abandon literature and engage in business. It's just that although Master Wang San has a lot of money, his social status cannot be compared with the Qi family, let alone climb to the sixth girl of the Qi family.

Hearing that it was going to be left to Miss Qi Liu, Yuye rested her thoughts, even if she was cheeky and coming, she would be scolded by her mother, and the cuckoo was better than nothing.

Yuye woke up and saw Qing Dai holding a hairpin and putting it in the box, and her movements were very slow, as if she was afraid that the delicate flower would bump into it. She hurriedly took the azalea, and said to Qingdai with a smile: "This azalea color is rare, and ordinary weaving and dyeing workshops can't dye such yarn, so I want this one." ”

Qing Dai saw that she was pinching the flowers tightly, and waved her hand in disapproval: "Sister, don't be reluctant, Qing Dai can think about ideas again, and it's good to always satisfy my sister." ”

"How can it? I just like this one, but I just saw that the color was similar to the shirt on my body, so I said it casually. Yuye waved her hand, for fear that Qing Dai would take back the silk flower, "Thank you Sister Dai!" ”

"Sister is too polite." Qing Dai smiled so hard that her teeth couldn't see her eyes, "Crescent moon, clean it up, bring the watermelon that has been in town." ”

The two sisters sat down for a moment, then got up and took their leave.

As soon as he went out, Jin Zhi looked at Yuye who was playing with the silk flower in his hand and asked, "My sister wants this flower today, but it's for Miao Shi Niang." ”

Yuye paused in his hand and beckoned the maid to take the flower away, "Yes!" Miao Shi Niang was poor and showy, not to say that his brother had won the favor of the nobles in Beijing in the past two days, and he had received a lot of rewards, so he deliberately used it to show off. Catch up with Ming'er, and I'll let her see what really good things are. ”

"Why should my sister be a member of the Miao family." Jin Zhi said a little angrily, "I almost offended Sister Dai for your momentary anger, let my mother know, and I will punish you!" ”

"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, who will know?" Yuye didn't care, and glanced at the maid who followed behind him, "Which one dares to have a long mouth and a lot of tongues, and take the board carefully!" ”

Jin Zhi lost his temper with his sister-in-law for the first time, "Although Miao Shi Niang has the surname of the old lady, she is just a distant relative who can't be beaten by eight poles, and she is from a businessman's background, how can she compare with Sister Dai?" You don't remember what your mother told us when she left? Thousands of instructions let us make Sister Dai happy. ”

"How old is she, what do you know? She didn't offer to give it just now. ”

"You know what!" Jin Zhi didn't have time to think about it at the time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Qingdai was not simple, and it was obviously rude to not be seen by Yuye, but he couldn't see it at all, and he still praised himself to press Yuye, where is this still like an ordinary five-year-old child? "The old lady asked our sisters to come into the house to accompany Sister Qingdai, which is to promote us. To please Qingdai, naturally is to please the old lady. You haven't seen Qingdai for a few days, and you have already made friends with the girls of the Qi family. Do you want to deal with people like Miao Siniang all the time, and you don't want to make more friends with the girls of the official family? ”

Yuye was stunned, and she was unwilling to teach her sister the sister who she despised the most, but today she was really reckless, biting her lip and saying, "It's a big deal, I'll give her some things as a return gift another day." ”

Jin Zhi thought about it, and it could only be like this, "Qingdai still has to live here for a while, you must not be so reckless as today." ”

"Alright, long-winded!" Yuye took two steps forward, shook off the golden branch, and returned to the West Chamber alone.

Jin Zhi looked at the back of Yuye, a sneering smile pulled out of the corner of his mouth, and he put on a shelf when he came out, I don't know how thick the sky is, just this temper, the day of your guilt is still ahead!

Yuye is not in a hurry, because the Gao family helps her plan. But I can't help but plan for the future, I was originally a concubine, and my aunt's background is not very good, because being favored in front of my father has long been taboo of the Gao family. In two years, she is going to talk about marriage, she doesn't want to have the same fate as a few aunts, in case the Gao family is unhappy, maybe she will end up being sent to those old men who are officials and businessmen. She doesn't want to be a concubine for others, even if she finds a poor scholar or a petty official to be a grandmother, it is better than being a little girl for others. Therefore, you must please Qingdai, so that the old lady can ask the old lady to stand up for her in the future in case of all difficulties.

"In a few days, I want to take her out for a walk, and maybe she will forget about it as soon as she is happy......" Jin Zhi thought all the way to his house.
