Chapter 7 The Playing of the Strings and the Piano is Supplemented by the Er (I) 5
The wind is really blowing bigger and bigger, and it is getting more and more chaotic. Two red fires lit up in the study to drive away the cold from the north.
Qi Su Niang was stunned and listened to the sound of strings and pianos mixed with the wind outside the window, and came back to her senses after a while. She looked down and carefully removed a slightly messy stitch and sighed slowly.
The candle flame on the table swayed straight upward, and the sound of strings and pianos in the backyard came intermittently into the study.
Chen Yan put down the river map in his hand, raised his head from the desk, listened to it for a while, sighed, and hesitated for a while, "Su Niang, let's leave Bi'er and Weng Bai's family affairs alone......
Qi Su Niang shook her head, "It's not for me to stop me at this time, you didn't see Bi'er's face turn white at that time." Weng Bai stood there looking at her, too frightened to speak. This kid is still a little younger, and he doesn't know how to make up his mind for his own affairs......"
Song Qing pointed to him for generations. Inevitably, I'm in a hurry. Besides, one is in Tianjin and the other is in Yangzhou, who knows if they can bump into each other? How do you ask him to make up his mind for himself? I watched, both sides were intentional, although Bi'er is sad now, it will be fine after a while. ”
Qi Su Niang's face was sad, "When I was in the city, I shouldn't have stopped it...... It won't get into this file......"
Chen Yan hurriedly stood up and walked to her side and comforted: "At that time, who can say exactly Weng Bai?" I'm afraid that Song Qing will be unstable, and anyone who thinks about Bi'er will block it. The sound of the strings mixed with the sound of the wind was hoarse, as if there was a whimper, Chen Yan shook his head and said: "After all these years in our house, I didn't know that she could play the strings.
With such a temperament, now playing such a piano sound, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Su Niang, you go and solve it for her. ”
"I'm afraid it's useless......"
Qi Su Niang walked to the left across the courtyard. Fang is going to push the Billmen. He retreated back into the courtyard. She hunched her neck and caged her sleeves. Shivering and shivering seven or eight times in the cold and dark left across the courtyard. finally came up with a way not to let Bier have free thoughts. Two steps and three steps towards her room.
Chen Yan sat in the book and vaguely heard the rough and dry sound of the wind. The tone is not plucked on the ground. I was stunned. He walked outside the courtyard to the left and heard the sound of Bill's crying and laughing from inside. “…… Grandmother...... That's how it should be played......"
Qi Su Niang asked Bier to teach the piano at night. He sent her to do things during the day. She didn't have time to worry about this. Seeing that the New Year is coming. Although it is the customs of Tianjin, it is inevitable that it is different from Yangzhou. She didn't care about any of that. As usual, Gaoyou swept away, cut red, pasted pictures, and burned pots.
There was no movement in the Cao Song Mansion for several days. Although Qi Su Niang is a little strange. But thinking of Weng Bai's filial piety, after Song Qingli saw each other. Bill didn't nod. There's no more to this matter. Song Qing may not be willing to marry a girl. Qi Su Niang thought of this. sighed. Although Weng Bai was from a low background. Worshiped the Song family. Not to mention that Song Qing must donate the official land for him, and the Cao Gang is also inherited by Weng Bai. In his backyard in the future. Inevitably, it is also a land of three wives and four concubines......
Qi Su Niang watched Bi'er work silently. I want to ask her what she wants. But he was afraid of provoking her sadness, and he had to follow his own thoughts. Ignoring this family, it's not her. Although she didn't like Qi Qiang's mansion at the beginning, the concubines served one after another. But in the end, she still plans to come to the Chen family to be a concubine. If she can't live a stable life, she has to make her own decisions.
Qi Su Niang pondered for a while. "I've heard about it in the south." Tianjin Yangliu Qingdi New Year's painting and Jiangning Taohuawu are called double unique. We can't buy New Year's paintings in the south now. Bill, branch. You go out into the streets in a car. Buy a few New Year's pictures of willows and green land. ”
Bill and Zhi'er responded to it, and they packed up and went out.
Qi Su Niang gave Zhi'er a look, "Take my warm car, if there is no suitable one on the street outside, go to Yang Liuqing to have a look, anyway, it is outside the city, not too far from the dock." ”
Zhi'er hurriedly responded, and Bi'er was blessed and led her out of the door. Qi Su Niang sighed and instructed Li'er on the side, "I don't need to prepare your sister Bi'er's lunch and Zhi'er today." ”
Li'er blinked for a while, looked at Qi Su Niang, and whispered, "Grandma...... Sister Bi'er's mind is sometimes bigger than grandma's...... Even if I pass by the dock, I'm afraid I won't go to see Weng Gongzi......"
Qi Su Niang smiled bitterly: "I also understand, but I can't let her be bored like this." If she makes up her mind and gives a word, it won't work, and if it does, I have to plan for her. ”
When it was time for lunch, Chen Yan returned to the back house.
"Su Niang, Weng Bai just came to kowtow to me and begged me to say good things to him." Chen Yan smiled bitterly: "I heard that he stood on the dock for a night that night, and when he went home, he begged Song Qing and said that he would send those two girls who had a room." Song Qing didn't respond for a few days, and now I'm afraid I can't screw him. Otherwise, you persuade Bi'er, it's not easy for Weng Bai to be like this. ”
Qi Su Niang beckoned Li'er to set up the meal, and said helplessly: "She is like a mirror in her heart, I don't have anything to persuade her, just see what she wants."
If I like Weng Bai, I will let her marry her. If you don't like it, a wishful person, our family still needs her to eat alone. ”
Chen Yan nodded, sat down, and talked to Qi Su Niang in a whisper while eating.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Xiao Lian sent a letter in, "Grandma, a letter from Mrs. Li of Tongzhou Daotai." Qi Su Niang was surprised in her heart, "Godmother's letter."
She opened the letter, full of three pages, Qi Su Niang hurriedly read it, and couldn't help laughing, "Godmother is also willing to let Uncle God's house be a son-in-law." Turning his head to look at Xiao Lian, "What about the person who delivered the letter?" Call him in. He is a close confidant in the Li Mansion, and he must not be neglected. ”
Xiao Lian complied and retreated.
Although Chen Yan was a little strange, he also laughed when he read the letter, "It's okay for other families, the Cha family is the same as the Cheng family in Yangzhou, although they are salt merchants, they are also heirlooms of poetry and books." Since there is no son in the long house, and there is only one daughter, it may be a good thing for your goduncle to become a son-in-law. ”
While he was talking, Xiao Lian led a housekeeper in.
Qi Su Niang saw that the letter came from Li Mingming's chief steward Li Ji'an, and knew that Li Mansion must value this matter, so she asked carefully.
": I didn't dare to hide it from my aunt, and our grandmother also asked the slave to explain the matter. Please ask your godaunt and grandmother to plan a thing or two. It turned out that the ancestors of our grandmother's mother's family passed away, and in order to divide the family property in each room, there was a lot of trouble, and all kinds of chaos came out. My uncle is still young, and although our grandmother is helping, she can't resist the many children and grandchildren in each room. Although he didn't want to get these few coins, he didn't have a reason to throw away all the family property left by his ancestors. It just so happened that the Cha family was full of wind, and the long house wanted to recruit a son-in-law. Our grandmother had also heard of this young lady in the past, but she felt that her age and appearance were all matched, and it was a good marriage, so she thought of asking her aunt to visit the house and inquire. ”
Chen smiled slightly, "I'm afraid Mrs. Li is really optimistic, no matter what, she wants her goduncle to get this marriage." ”
Li Ji'an hurriedly kowtowed, "My godaunt and master see Wan, this matter is not steaming buns - steaming breath." Please also ask the godaunt to look at the godaunt and grandmother, and bother a lot. ”
Qi Su Niang knew that the mansion wanted to use Chen Yan's official position to talk to the chafu, but Zhili was different from Yangzhou, Tianjin Wei was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and Chafu was a giant businessman in the north, and the relationship with the nobles in the capital was not shallow.
Qi Su Niang thought of this and turned her head to look at Chen Yan. Chen Yan nodded slightly to Qi Su Niang.
Qi Su Niang smiled and said: "The chief steward will go down to rest, I will write a letter to the godmother asking for peace, I have prepared a gift for the godfather and godmother in the new year, and the chief steward will bring it back." ”
Li Ji'an was overjoyed and hurriedly responded. Qi Su Niang saw that Xiao Lian had led him out, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Chen, is the godmother planning to take advantage of the power of the Cha family not to let people take the family property?" ”
"Probably so." Chen Yan groaned: "Mrs. Li's family is a century-old Wang family in Texas, and there is no shortage of officialdom in each room. The Cha family is a well-known gentleman in Zhili, and there are many intricate relationships in the capital, so the trivial matter of fighting for the family property for his son-in-law is naturally not a problem. He smiled again: "I have seen your mother's brother-in-law Liu Heting, although he was only seven or eight years old at the beginning, he was smart and good-looking, his background and family assets are worthy of Miss Cha's family, and the friendship between the Cha family and the Li family is also deep, you just have to go to the Cha family and say it." ”
Qi Su Niang nodded, and Chen Yan smiled again: "Don't worry, Tongyongdao is an important place in, although Daotai can't manage the military and politics, but there are four banners in the Beijing Eight Banners, and the green camp is stationed in Tongyongdao, and most of the leaders are the emperor's people, but it's hard to say that they are old and old, and there must always be a reassuring person to keep an eye on the movement." The Cha family won't be blind, and they can't see that your godfather's holy family is good. ”
Qi Su Niang thought for a moment and laughed, "When I heard that my godfather was promoted to an official after seeing His Majesty, but I still stayed in office, I felt that most of them had the emperor's blue eyes. ”
The two talked and laughed for a while, and Chen Yan returned to the former council. Qi Su Niang was busy doing embroidery work. It wasn't long before Bill and Zhi'er returned.
Qi Suniang watched Bi'er paste Yang Liuqing's New Year's picture on the wall, and quietly pulled the branch and said, "How is it, did Grandma Bi'er go to the dock?" Weng Bai is not there? ”
Zhi'er also said softly: "I didn't stop at the pier when I went, but when I came back, Gongzi Weng saw that it was the car in the Hezong Mansion, and came to ask grandma for peace. He rode his horse and followed ...... from a distance."
Qi Su Niang smiled bitterly: "I must have seen that it was not me who was sitting in the car." ”
Zhi'er hesitated and said, "Grandma, the slave maid can't see Sister Bi'er's thoughts. ”
Qi Su Niang sighed, "There is more than one way to Yang Liuqing. ”
