Chapter Forty-Seven: Plum Blossom Wood Listens to Poetry
Winter moon thirty, Xiaohan.
"Girl, it's snowing. The willow pushed open the window lattice, and the sky and the mountains, the trees and the ground outside the door were the same color, and they were so white and clear.
When the cold wind blew, Yang Liu shivered, wrapped his clothes tightly, and hurriedly closed the window and went to the wardbox to get the rabbit fur and white fox cloak, and waited for Tang Yue to put it on.
Tang looked at the half-old and non-new pigmented cotton pipa sleeve jacket and apricot yellow skirt on Yang Liu's body, and said, "I remember that the housekeeper at home just gave me winter clothes this year, why don't you put them on? ”
Yang Liu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just that the clothes are so good, I don't want to wear them!" By the way, girl, the second young master has arrived." ”
"Wear it, there will be better ones in the future. Tang Yue smiled, at the end of the year, Tang Hu was busy checking the accounts everywhere, a few days ago she looked at the account book, this year's harvest was good, relying on thin porcelain and pastel porcelain and restaurants to earn a lot of silver, not only filled in the public treasury of Fuzhong, she and her two brothers also piled up a lot of silver.
These days, it will get better and better.
"Brother has arrived, then let's move quickly, don't let my brother wait for a long time. ”
"Yes. Yang Liu replied, and his subordinates combed Tang Yue's hair into a hanging bun a few times, and put a plain hair crown on the hairpin, Tang Yue thought to himself, there is still a year.
Time flies.
Tang Yue curled the ends of his hair, his expression uncertain.
King Rui is dead, the Wang family has been removed, and my mother can be at ease under Jiuquan.
"Yang Liu, let's do a ritual in Bailu Temple in the next year, and Daddy should come back at that time. Tang Yue said suddenly.
"After the year?" Yang Liu packed up the curtain and sachet and came over with a stove, the girl said that it should be the Lantern Festival, "I should also pray for my wife." ”
"Hmm" Tang Yue got up and went out with Yang Liu, and the wind chime and Bai Li were already waiting outside the door.
"Ah Yue. Bai Li raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to hug Tang Yue, stretched out his hand to probe her hand warmth, it was a little cold, and his brows frowned, "Why is it so cold?
"I haven't seen snow for a long time, so I grabbed a snowball under the porch, and I was anxious to see you, and the hand stove was still there in the willows. Tang Yue replied gently, with a thousand kinds of love in her eyes, and she was unparalleled.
Bai Li raised his eyebrows, knowing that this was just a pretext, this girl was stubborn, she always felt sorry for her mother, and there was a smell of sandalwood on her body, so she recited the scriptures.
"Let's go. He took the stove handed by Yang Liu and let Tang Yue hug it, and beckoned Yuan Qing, who was leading the horse, to leave the temple, and there were two other carriages on the pipeline, hanging the wind lantern of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and the imprint of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion was embedded.
"Little sister. Tang Hu had been waiting outside the carriage, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly greeted him, stood strongly between Bai Li and Tang Yue, and took Tang Yue into the carriage, without even giving Bai Li a look. For this person who is about to snatch away his sister who has not been raised for many years, hehe, Tang Gongzi said who are you? Are they very familiar?
Tang Yue couldn't cry or laugh, but it was very important to comfort his brother, so he gave Bai Li a playful look from afar, and followed Tang Hu to the first carriage.
Bai Li was helpless, this second uncle ......
"Let's go. "Greeted Yuan Qing and entered the carriage of the Ping Palace.
Yang Liu and Wind Chime smiled at each other and got into the second carriage.
The stove that burned early made the whole carriage warm, Tang Yue took off his cloak and chatted with his second brother, letting the carriage sway and go leisurely, without urging. Anyway, today is a small banquet, only she, Dongyang, Cang Geng, Lu Wenjun, Sister Lin, Tang Hu and Bai Li are incidental, Bai Li does not agree to Tang Yue to go out alone, Tang Hu happens to be free and also comes.
"Xiao Yue'er, the emperor may have to shuffle the cards next year. ”
"It has been some time since His Majesty ascended the throne, and there is only one royal brother left, King He, and the overall situation has been decided, and the remaining Hou Mansion Ministers rely on the merits of their ancestors and His Majesty's affection card to do things, and it is strange that His Majesty does not clean them up. Tang Yue was noncommittal, "This year, Your Majesty opened Enke, and the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongning, the Marquis of Yongning, the Mansion of the British Duke, began to recruit scholars, and this Enke co-authored it was the same as them." Tang Yue pouted with disgust, the appearance was so ugly, the emperor couldn't bear to clean them up?
"The emperor wants to clean them up and wants to start with the official treasury first. Tang Hu hugged the soft pillow and gloated, "Do you think we should fight?"
Tang Yue frowned, "What about the circulation rights of the official bank?"
"Wan Jia is already the richest man in the Jiangnan area, and if he has more money, he is afraid that His Majesty will not be able to sleep well and only go through the motions. ”
"Wouldn't it be too eye-catching?"
Tang Hu touched his chin and looked unfathomable, "Discuss with a few families, how about it?"
"Jiang Yanshan?" Tang Yue realized, the Jiang family is inconspicuous, and it is a good choice to have porcelain technology.
"Almost, this matter will be on the agenda after the year. ”
"I'm afraid that our family's cash is not enough, and there are still Sun family money houses in the capital, Lu family wine shops, and Cao family horse houses......
"Contact a few more, or let's go to my uncle. Tang Hu's eyes lit up with a strange light.
"Uncle?" Tang Yue nodded, the Cui family was a good choice, anyway, they didn't know what they were trying to do with her, so it was better to ask for some interest first, and if there were contacts, this would be a long time.
"Childe, it's here. The carriage stopped, and the coachman said that it was already outside the Bailu Temple.
Qingsong Qingmo was already waiting, and when he saw his carriage coming, he immediately greeted him, carrying two food boxes.
"Girl, the Li Ji walnut cake that has just come out of the pot, Miss Mu and Miss Lin and Miss Lu have all arrived. Qing Song replied.
"Then let's go first. Tang Yue beckoned everyone to hurry to the backyard Meilin, Dongyang walked behind, saying that he wanted to prepare a banquet, and let her only prepare dim sum and tea fruit to come first.
There is a plum blossom dock near Meilin in the backyard of Bailu Temple, which was built by the abbot of Bailu Temple, and if it weren't for Bai Li saying this, Tang Yue really didn't know what they were going to think of this good show.
"You're here. Lu Wenjun quipped, his eyes wandered on Tang Yue and Bai Li, it was called a shining one, because almost all of them were their own family members here, and they didn't shy away from it so much, not to mention that the two men who were left here could take care of what happened.
Lin Xian also covered her mouth and smiled, compared to before, there was more meat on her face, not to mention that she was plump, and her body, which fell down when the wind blew, did not need someone to pull the corners of her clothes.
"I see that King Ping hasn't passed the second uncle's level yet!" Lin Xian squeezed her eyebrows at Tang Yue, and pulled Tang Yue over, the closest thing to Meilin in this plum blossom dock is a Tingxue Pavilion, surrounded by thick cotton curtains to block the wind, and burned charcoal basins, Lin Xian brought the venison from Zhuangzi to burn the venison to eat.
"As long as the eldest brother and father-in-law agree, won't it?" Cang Geng and Lin Xian are good, Tang Yue is not there for the two of them to be companions, not to mention the housekeeper matters, Cang Geng has a place to ask Lin Xian for advice, just because Lin Xian is good at Cang Geng's good cooking skills, the two have to chat, and the relationship is naturally close after chatting.
Bai Li couldn't mess with these Jiaojiao, and Tang Hu didn't dare to provoke him, so he happened to see that Bai Li was not pleasing to the eye and pulled someone to drink next to him, but fortunately, he hooked up in this pavilion, which was enough for a few people to toss.
"Come, come, give the twenty-year-old daughter we brought to their two brothers. Lu Wenjun was happy to watch the play and beckoned the maid to send wine over, and Lin Xian was not far behind and greeted Ruyi: "How can you taste good wine without a good cup?" Ruyi, bring our set of ten large sets of cups with boxwood roots! Let these two brothers fight together!"
"Then thank you cousin!" Tang Hu is extremely proud, he is guarding filial piety, he can't drink wine, this wine can't enter Bai Li's stomach? This is a business without capital! Greet Qingsong, "Qingsong, go, bring the plum snow under the buried flower root tree we brought!" Young master, I will replace wine with tea, and I will honor King Ping!"
Bai Li raised his eyebrows and knew that he couldn't escape this catastrophe, but how to exchange this catastrophe for the greatest benefit had to be calculated by himself, because he didn't refuse, he looked at Tang Yue directly, and Tang Yue was so ashamed that he hid beside Cang Geng, a few people laughed and joked, Tang Hu hated it even more in his heart, if he didn't clean up this prodigal son today, he would not be Tang Hu!
deliberately picked the largest cup among the ten sets of boxwood root cups, and handed it to Bai Li with a good look of the two brothers, "Come, King Ping, I respect you!"
Bai Li didn't answer, "Brother Tang's plum snow tea hasn't been brewed well, and the younger brother doesn't dare to drink it first!" smiled and played with the cups, and exclaimed, "This cup is wonderful, but the pattern of Lin Tanhua's painting?" I remember that he is the best character, and this character has the charm of his pen. "This cup is a set of ten, according to the size of the order, the big one is about a palm, the small one is three points smaller than the cup in the hand, carved and carved wonders, a color of landscape figures and cursive prints.
Lin Xian covered her mouth and smiled, Lu Wenjun laughed and explained, "It is said that King Ping's eyes are sharp, this is wrong, this painting is the person painted by Sister Lin, the landscape described by Cang Geng, the words I wrote!"
Bai Li was surprised, Tang Hu smiled from ear to ear, he loved to see Bai Li's ugly appearance the most!
Qingmo picked up the firewood and came back, divided the small piles well, lit the fire and let a few girls cut the venison and roast it to play.
"It's a wonderful place. Someone outside the pavilion shouted to people: "Come on, there is a pavilion here, there is snow and plum blossoms! It is suitable for painting! I don't know which family it is!"
"There are a few plums in the corner, Ling Han opened it alone, it's really good!
"Ziqing, what you said is wrong, where is it to open alone? This is a tree full of red plums competing for beauty!"
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows at Bai Li, Bai Li nodded, how could Wan Chuan be here?
"Eh, Zicheng, then you come! It just so happens that I can't continue to write these two sentences!" said Ziqing.
"Why do you bother to talk about him? I know that he is not good at poetry. ”
"Ye Gongzi?" Cang Geng has a good memory, and the two of them often come to her to make food, but they also remember.
"If you want this, I promise you to be. Ye Shen said indifferently, and glanced at the purple-clothed man who looked down on Shang Jia who deliberately squeezed Wan Zicheng, "I know that it is not snow, only dark incense." ”
Lu Wenjun sighed twice: "It seems that the scholars outside are fighting openly and secretly, and they are also fighting fiercely." The subordinates casually picked the tea into the water, and there was a smell of tea.
Cang Geng's subordinates made a move, continued to roll the venison in their hands, and then smeared the honey and said, "They are all people who sell their reputations, but they can't be the same as fish competing for food?" ”
Tang Yue and Lin Xian looked at each other with a look of worry.
Cang Geng is like this, how do you see the next play?
These two sentences are well connected, and Jiusi is really talented. ”
Ouyang Jinyu!
It's over!
Tang Yue sighed in his heart, looked at Lin Xian, and sure enough, he saw the venison inserted with a bamboo skewer in Cang Geng's hand snap and fall into the fire.
There was only half of an irregular bamboo skewer left in Cang Geng's hand......
There was a cluster of fire under his eyes, crackling and burning fiercely.
