Fifty-four, the tea room

Although Shuning was embarrassed by this idea, she really couldn't remember who the wife or little wife of the fifth child in history was, think about her own family, although the father's official position is not high, but the family is the so-called "big family with a surname", it is not impossible for the girl in the family to be a prince Fujin, and if you think about it carefully, these elders in the earl's palace connived at Wanning to associate with the prince, maybe they also have this kind of thought.

Looking back on her vague memory, the fifth elder brother didn't seem to have any outstanding performance in the Kowloon succession, and the fate was not very clear, but she still remembered that except for the thirteenth and the youngest elder brother, few of Yongzheng's brothers had a good end. She won't make trouble for herself.

And for Shuning, the history of this world is very different from what she knew before she crossed over, even if she was supposed to marry the fifth elder brother, not marrying in the future will not cause any serious consequences, history will adjust itself and return to the original track in a few decades or a hundred years.

So, she put the matter behind her.

At night, when there was no one in the main room, Shuning quietly told her mother about the fourth elder brother she had met during the day, and said that she had agreed with the fourth elder brother about the item transmission channel, and Tong's attention was really attracted to this matter.

Seeing her mother babbling about what material is the coolest to make clothes in summer, what style is the most uneye-catching and comfortable, Shuning had a little headache, hurriedly held down her mother, and solemnly said to her: "Eniang, although we have a way to secretly send things to the fourth elder brother now, it is better not to let people know about this matter." Eniang, don't show any traces, make people suspicious. ”

Although Tong accepted it, he was still a little puzzled: "Why are you sneaky like this?" Although the prince is not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers, your maternal uncle and ancestor have dealings with the fourth elder brother, right? I am also a member of the Tong family, so just do it openly. Besides, didn't Wan Ning of the big house still make friends with the fourth elder brother? ”

It's because she's there that she has to be sneaky! was discovered by her, and she didn't know what she would do, if she used her own family as an excuse to get involved in the fight between the prince and the courtiers, wouldn't it affect her own family?

Shuning said: "Eniang, rules are rules, my uncle is a serious relative, and we are separated by one layer, and you have married into this family." Although now we send things in private, it is just Eniang's concern for the fourth elder brother, but let the people outside know, it is difficult to say what they will think, if it is misinterpreted, not only Ama will be affected, but even the fourth elder brother will be blamed, right? And Sister Wanning and the prince are dating, others can be regarded as children with similar interests, so they will play together, but Eniang is an adult, which is different. ”

She turned around and took the four treasures of the study, put them on the table, and said to her mother, "Therefore, you can send something to Pumpkin Alley for the first time, and enclose a letter to reproach me for not knowing the gravity of my child, so that I can make such a promise so recklessly." Then I said, please pretend that the fourth elder brother doesn't know that there is a relative in our family, just if the things sent every time are the filial piety of the prince, no matter what happens to our family, don't interfere, everything must be for your own safety. Finally, if someone else shows favor to him like us, you must make sure that the other person has no ill intentions before letting down your guard. It would be great if he could ask him to keep this matter a secret from Sister Wanning again. ”

Tong's eyes looked at his daughter deeply, and he sighed: "Sometimes E-niang is really suspicious, how did you raise you to look so powerful?" Although everyone praises your sister Wanning for being smart, according to Eniang, our Shuning is the one who is the most hidden, isn't it? ”

Shuning smiled embarrassedly: "Why did E-Niang say that? As long as it is for the good of the family, my daughter will do anything. But when it's okay, the daughter is Eniang's little padded jacket. She rubbed to her mother's side and lied coquettishly, which made Tong can't help laughing.

And so it was settled. Tong quietly called the second sister-in-law to help, made two good texture and ordinary summer clothes for boys, and left room at the hem, so that the wearer could continue to wear it after growing taller, and then quietly instructed Changfu to take the letter and clothes and two boxes of Ren Dan from Tongrentang Pharmacy to avoid being sent to Pumpkin Hutong. After more than an hour, Changfu turned around and replied that the people of that family had accepted it.

Tong only told Zhang Bao about this in private, and didn't even let his son know. Later, when I had free time, in the name of making clothes for my son, I made two pieces of clothes of different sizes, but one of them was to be given away, and I did a little more tricks and feet, so that people would not find out that the two clothes were made by one person. The Pumpkin Hutong side has never replied to the letter, and the Tong family is also secretly engaged in it.

Wan Ning's suspicion of Shu Ning only lasted for two days, and after seeing that Shu Ning always played the song "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" "created" by a certain "proud protΓ©gΓ©" of Mr. Cai in class, and it was not a little wrong, it disappeared completely. After that, she would still invite Shuning to go out to play together, and after Shuning measured the progress of her schoolwork, she would also promise her once out of three or four times, and she was careful to avoid occasions where she would meet certain people, and only went out with her cousins.

One day, Wanning took Shuning and Fangning out of the house, but she didn't call Yuanning. Fang Ning asked why she didn't see the fourth sister, and Wan Ning said with a regretful face: "It's not that I don't call her, it's that she followed the second aunt back to her parents' house early this morning, I temporarily wanted to invite the sisters to tea, and now I feel a pity that she is missing." ”

Fang Ning didn't say anything, but Shu Ning was secretly slandering: Sister, you are doing a real job!

Today's destination is a teahouse that Wan Ning and Fang Ning often go to, the one that Shu Ning passed by when she went out with them last time but didn't go in. Wan Ning enthusiastically introduced the shop to her cousin: "It is completely different from other tea rooms, it is very quiet, as soon as you enter, you feel that you are elegant, the tea is also delicious, and what is even more rare is that the owner is really knowledgeable." There are many dignitaries or literati who like to go there to sit and feel the smell of books. And one of the things that is very special about that teahouse is that it changes the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the store every month, and those calligraphy and paintings are all masterpieces of customers. Anyone whose work is hung up feels that it is a great honor. ”

It's a good idea, and it satisfies the vanity of your guests. Shuning looked at Wanning's expression, and her heart moved: "Could it be that this is the second sister's idea?" Wan Ning said curtly: "No, although I also thought of it, but someone brought it up one step earlier than me." ”

I see.

Soon Wan Ning became happy again: "But when we went last time, Boss Fan once mentioned that today we will change new calligraphy and paintings, with the theme of 'flowers', including one of my poems." ”

Huh??? Are you sure? Shuning thought very skeptically, "Can you really make poems?" It won't be copied again, right? "But think about it, who else can you copy, Wanning is indeed a bit really talented, maybe she really did it herself.

Fang Ning was quiet all the way, but she could tell that she was happy to go to the tea room. Halfway through, when Wanning was attracted by the goods on the roadside stall, Fang Ning strongly persuaded her to give up, and it was rare to see her so courageous.

The tea room is indeed very good, the environment is very elegant, it is still early at this time, there are no guests, the boss Fan is very warm to entertain their group, and specially took them to the private room to sit.

Boss Fan has a fourteen or fifteen-year-old son, who is very handsome, with a bookish face, but he does not look thin, although he is still a teenager, he already has the feeling of "Yushu Linfeng", even Shuning has to admit that in terms of appearance alone, his brother is probably slightly inferior.

The young man's name is Fan Jinchun, and according to Wan Ning, he has been admitted to Xiucai, but he is still young, and he plans to take the examination again in two years. Wan Ning is very familiar with them, which is normal, but she didn't expect that even Fang Ning knew so much about the affairs of these two fathers and sons, which surprised Shu Ning.

Fan Jinchun demonstrated the tea ceremony to them, the movements were very beautiful, and while demonstrating, he also explained some tea-related allusions and poems, and the conversation was quite extraordinary. Shuning listened with relish, and thought: No wonder Wanning likes to come, it turns out that there is such a handsome little guy with beauty and wisdom.

After only talking for a while, Wan Ning said: "I didn't pay attention when I entered the door, there were already new calligraphy and paintings hanging outside, right?" Third sister, how about you accompany me to take a look? Shuning felt a little disappointed, and she wanted to continue listening to it, but she was also very interested in Wanning's poems, so she went out with her.

Looking at Wanning's masterpiece hanging on the wall, Shuning was embarrassed again. It was a song "Song of White Begonia": "Cherish the fangzi and cover the door during the day, and fill the moss pot with the urn." The rouge washes out the shadow of the autumn steps, and the ice and snow attract the soul of the dew. The light pole knows that the flowers are more colorful, and the jade is more sorrowful. If you want to pay for the white emperor, you should be clean, and you will be silent and dim. (Shuning: Didn't you even let go of "Dream of Red Mansions"?) οΌ‰

She couldn't help but admire this eldest sister a little, she even remembered the poems in "Dream of Red Mansions" so clearly, this can be regarded as a manifestation of talent, right?

It's just that when she saw Wanning's smug look, she couldn't admire it: What are you so proud of, and you didn't really do it yourself.

Wan Ning didn't know what Shuning was thinking at this time, and specially turned around and asked her, "What does the third sister think of this poem?" This was copied by Fan Jinchun himself, not bad, right? Shuning pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, the 'poem' is really well written, and the second sister is really 'amazing'." ”

Wan Ning didn't hear anything, just smiled and said: "Someone sent a pot of white begonias to our house last autumn, the flowers are really beautiful, and I also had a feeling for a while, so I wrote this." ”

Shuning said: "Although it is said to be a flower, according to my sister, it is more like a flower, just like a white begonia fairy." ”

"Isn't that the fairy?" Boss Fan walked over with a smile, with two teas on the tray in his hand, "Although Miss Wan is such a lively character, she can write such a poem, she really deserves to be a beautiful girl." ”

Shuning laughed with him: Sister Wan, why don't you pick and choose, but copy such a "dignified and steady" poem? It's too inconsistent with your personality and will be suspected.

Wan Ning smiled, and hurriedly talked about other calligraphy and paintings: "Hey, this poem is well written, it turns out that it was written by this person, I have seen it, and it looks a little ugly." …… Hey? This ...... is not pretty, but only reports spring. When the mountains are full of flowers, she laughs in the bushes'...... Who wrote this? She turned her head abruptly and asked Boss Fan, looking shocked.

Boss Fan was frightened by her and was speechless for a while. Shuning understood why she was shocked, so she replied, "Isn't there a signature on it?" Chen Shancai is a poem by Lord Chen Liangben, which is very famous. Sister hasn't heard of it? ”

"Chen Liangben?" Wan Ning stared at Shu Ning, "The one I saw in the teahouse last time?" The official who has married a lot of wives? ”

Shuning nodded, interested in wanting to know how Wan Ning would react.
