…… Although there were a few small episodes in the apprenticeship, it went smoothly overall.

At the beginning of the snow queen, with the fragrance of plums in the court, Lu He made three kneeling and nine kowtows under the witness of the people invited by Jiangyashuang, and offered a cup of tea, Jiangyashuang took a sip, and the name of master and apprentice was decided.

After officially accepting the apprentice, Jiang Yashuang generously gave the disciple a set of the four treasures of the best study, made him get up, and brought him to the table, and the originally solemn apprenticeship ceremony suddenly turned into a lively banquet.

After the banquet was over, Jiang Yashuang took Lu He into the backyard to meet his wife Qiu Yulan, and called his nephew and son to come over to see him - after this busy time, the master and apprentice returned to the study to talk.

"I'm afraid I'll stay in Beijing for a short time, and you know the war in Northern Xinjiang, if there is no accident, I will go there sooner or later." Jiang Yashuang got straight to the point, "So you have to hurry up while I'm still in the capital, and take care of everyone who should know and move around." After all, when I was in Beijing, and when I wasn't in Beijing, these people's attitudes towards you must be different! ”

Lu He respectfully said yes.

"As for your homework, you don't have to be in a hurry now, with your talent, it will definitely be no problem to get the second grade, as for the first grade, only three people will be selected, but this depends on luck." Jiang Yashuang warned again, "The world is so big, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, maybe you will catch up with the talent of the Eight Buckets that came out of nowhere!" For example, your mother's brother Ruan Chunjun, who was only three years older than you when he entered Hanlin, is amazingly talented even if he has not entered the first class! ”

Although the first class is glorious, when it comes to subsequent achievements, it is not necessarily higher than the second class. Therefore, as a teacher, I do not ask you to be the first in the future, but I hope that you will guard against arrogance and rashness, and lay a solid foundation, so that you can be better than the blue in the future......"

Tsai carefully taught Lu He for a while, and Jiang Yashuang let him go back: "Go back and accompany your uncle for a few days, and then pack up your things and live here, so as not to keep running back and forth and delay time." Plus, if you live here, it's easier to get out and about! Now that you have officially entered my sect as a disciple, your master and sister don't need to shy away from it. ”

After sending Lu He away, he returned to the backyard and asked Qiu Yulan: "Didn't the Yi family talk over there for the past two days?" ”

"Nope." Qiu Yulan snorted, "I wonder if I'm waiting for us to say something first?" ”

"We didn't say anything to them, which obviously didn't mean very positive." Jiang Yashuang groaned, "I guess their plan is just like that!" ”

Qiu Yulan said: "You said this, I was planning to call Lu He to ask about it in two days-now that he has a name, I don't think he will refuse to say it anymore?" Did the girl of the Yi family say something unpleasant? It's really speechless to think about, didn't you say earlier that Brother-in-law Nine took a fancy to him first? Why didn't I tell my daughter well, I didn't have to let this child be wronged in vain! ”

"Little girl!" Jiang Yashuang sneered, he was impatient to deal with the two female juniors, especially his niece, but he was not very happy that his carefully selected disciples were despised to the end, so he said very happily, "Since they don't look down on Lu He, then this matter is over!" Brother-in-law Nine, even if he mentions it again in the future, I won't pay attention to it. ”

"And his marriage?"

"At the feast, you can take a look at it!" Jiang Yashuang didn't have a suitable candidate for a while, and said in a deep voice, "The kind that chooses both talents and appearances, is sensible, and his parents and brothers are also kind." Hengzhi is still young, and it is nothing to drag on for a few years, rather lack than abuse! ”

"Yongfu fell at the beginning of April, and at the end of April, Chunxiao came out of the pavilion, these two weddings alone, I am afraid that all girls in Beijing can see it, and I will pay attention to him when the time comes!" Autumn swaying the head of the head.

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered the question that the Kim family had asked her before, and she was curious, so she asked her husband, "Have you ever given Jing Du and Jing Man silver money?" ”

Jiang Yashuang was stunned: "No, what's wrong?" ”

"On the day of the Lantern Festival, I accompanied the four sisters-in-law into the palace, didn't I fail to meet the fourth aunt and the queen?" "So I came back early." When I arrived in front of the fourth sister-in-law's hospital, I saw the fifth sister-in-law, and the fifth sister-in-law asked me this, saying that she thought that Jingman's recent expenses were not quite right, and she thought that we had given him silver. ”

"How is that possible?" Jiang Yashuang snorted, "Let's not mention that although the two of them will come to ask for advice every few days, but in the end, they are only pointing out for the face of the fourth and fifth brothers, if they are not my serious disciples, I don't restrain them, how can I give them money?" Let's just say that both of them have monthly money, and the family is not overfed and clothed, and at this age, it is not easy to give more money to be wasted, so I don't have to learn badly! ”

"Don't you steal something and sell it?" Qiu Yulan guessed, "The fifth sister-in-law didn't pay much attention to Jing Man before, how could she be in a hurry to ask people everywhere because of his larger expenses this time?" Maybe it's because there's something missing, right? ”

Jiang Yashuang frowned: "It's not been a year since I came to Beijing to unify the Communist Party, and this age is ...... Is it that bold? ”

"It's only half a big man who is not easy to understand!" Qiu Yulan said, "Anyway, the fifth sister-in-law's attention this time makes people feel wrong. But now that they live there, they can't check it out...... Let's hope I'm wrong! Otherwise, we can endure it, I'm afraid the fourteenth sister-in-law will be angry! ”

Jiang Yashuang also felt that it made sense when she heard this, so she thought about it and paid attention to it.

It happened that the next day was the day when Jiang Jingdu and Jiang Jingman came to ask for homework, and he deliberately paid attention to the clothes of his next two nephews, and found that Jiang Jingman, who had always been slightly worse than Jiang Jingdui in the past, was really dressed up very neatly today.

What made him frown was that when he called Jiang Jingman to his side and pointed out the fallacies in his homework, he actually smelled a faint aroma of fat powder on this nephew who had not yet tied his hair!

"Could it be that this kid has been to the fireworks field since he was so old?" Jiang Yashuang was annoyed in her heart, glanced at her nephew and didn't say anything, and when she turned around, she ordered someone to keep an eye on him to see where he went?!

Two days later, someone came to report: "The Thirteen Sun Gongzi ...... in the past two days" began to report Jiang Jingman's whereabouts one by one.

Jiang Yashuang at first reviewed the public. I listened to the text, but it didn't take long for me to put down my pen with a gloomy face and start listening carefully - the dim sum shop, silk shop, and bookstore at the beginning were fine; The home, teahouse, and painting boat of the classmates who followed were already a little wrong all the way; After the painting boat docked, Jiang Jingman went to an antique shop with his classmates, bought a pair of ginger yellow ground peaches from the famous kiln of the previous dynasty, and wrapped two feet of red brocade silk in the shop, and entered the alley next street with a smile.

"And then?"

"The mother who lives in that alley, her daughter has always been famous." The subordinate whispered without raising his head.

Although Jiang Yashuang has a decent style, he has a brother who is an expert in Fengyue, and he is not incomprehensible to some obscure words, so he immediately asked: "So that home is a secret door?" ”

"Exactly!"

Jiang Yashuang's face was ugly, and after a while, he said, "You go down first!" ”

He was not satisfied with Jiang Jingman's qualifications and never had any intention of formally accepting apprentices. But in the end, it's a cousin, you can't watch him run all the way and not learn well - it is said that this kind of thing should be told to Jiang Yawan, let Jiang Yawan discipline Jiang Jingman, not to overstep the line of acting for one, but also although he has pointed out Jiang Jingman many times, because he is busy, there is not much talk between uncle and nephew, and he is not very familiar.

But Jiang Jingman only killed his mother before and lost her children, and she has been rejected by her biological father so far. If you rush to say it, I'm afraid that Jiang Yawan will be angry and will drive him back to Kui County, but this is the end of Jiang Jingman's future.

Although Jiang Jingman was bad at learning, Jiang Yashuang still didn't want him to end up with a life in his hometown.

He thought about it, and then told Qiu Yulan about it: "...... You have to invite your fifth sister-in-law to come and sit down and tell her about it! ”

Qiu Yulan was a little worried that the Jin family would ignore it: "You mentioned that she refused to learn from the clan before, but it wasn't her own child, I'm afraid she won't take it seriously if she hears it!" ”

"It's different." Jiang Yashuang reminded, "At that time, although Zhan'er was gone, Aunt Yue hadn't entered the door yet-now the fifth brother's mind is on Aunt Yue, how long has the fifth sister-in-law been left out in the cold?" Aunt Yue is so favored, even if she has a son, will she give it to her fifth sister-in-law to raise? The fifth sister-in-law's only hope now is Man'er, why can't she care? If she doesn't understand this truth, you tell her, she herself is past the age of childbearing, and she has no grandchildren, what will she do in the future if she doesn't look at Dianman'er?! ”

Qiu Yulan thought about it and said, "Then I'll invite her tomorrow!" ”

As a result, early the next morning, Qiu Yulan didn't have time to find the Jin family, and the Ruan Mansion sent someone to send Qiu Jinglan's handwritten letter and message: "News came from Shazhou, and the Tao is that Mrs. is pregnant!" ”

"How long?" Qiu Yulan was overjoyed when she heard the news, and she couldn't even read the letter first - the year before last, due to the war in Western Xinjiang, Qiu Jinglan and Ou Qinglan's marriage was supposed to be delayed, but Ou Qinglan didn't want to make extraneous branches, so she took the initiative to go west regardless of her face, and rushed to Shazhou to hold a wedding with Qiu Jinglan - the two have been married for two or three years, and there is no good news, but it is worrying, and now that she finally got the letter, Qiu Yulan is happy for her brother and sister-in-law, "How is my sister-in-law's health?" Shazhou is bitterly cold, can you stand it? ”

The person who came smiled and said, "It's been three months, and because of the war, I haven't asked anyone to come over until now." He also said that Ou Qinglan was fine, "Thinking that Princess Chunfu's daughter also gave birth in Shazhou, Mrs. does not plan to return to Beijing for this." ”

Qiu Yulan thought about it, even the delicate Jiang Qizheng could give birth to a daughter in Shazhou, and the mother and daughter were safe, not to mention Ou Qinglan, who was born in northern Xinjiang?

After being happy, he remembered: "Can you tell the Ou family this good news?" ”

"I'm also gone, and Mrs. still has a special letter to Uncle Jing." "But Mrs. Ou didn't say anything." ”

"I'll go tell the old lady over there, or the Ou family will send someone to tell her." There are still two months left in the mourning period of the Jibei Hou Mansion, and the Ruan Mansion has no direct relationship with Mrs. Ou, but Baba's door-to-door report is suspected of flattery, and he can't commit it.

Qiu Yulan asked about the situation in Shazhou again, and learned that the battle was still in a stalemate, there were winners and losers for each other, and no one could take advantage of anyone, I was afraid that it would not end for a while, and seeing that the person who came had nothing else to say, he rewarded him with ten gold and sent him back.

Only then did she have time to find the Jin family, but she pounced: "The young lady took someone out early in the morning, saying that it was boring in the yard, and she went outside to take a turn." ”

The left-behind subordinate said, "I didn't say when I would come back when I left, and I ask the nineteenth young lady to forgive me!" ”

"It's okay, it's not important for me to look for my fifth sister-in-law, I just thought that my fifth sister-in-law had been here for a long time, and because I was busy, I haven't been able to have a good chat with my fifth sister-in-law!" Qiu Yulan smiled and said, "When the fifth sister-in-law comes back, you can tell her that I have been here!" ”

"Yes!"

I didn't meet this time, Qiu Yulan thought that it would be enough to run again tomorrow, so when he returned to his yard, he left this matter aside for the time being, and concentrated on accompanying his nephew, son, and daughter.

didn't know that she didn't have such a chance.

Because in the afternoon of the same day, news came from outside the house, saying that the Jin family took the maid to charter a small boat to visit Mirror Lake, but the boat capsized halfway, and none of the master and servant were saved!
