Chapter Twenty-Six: Sending Palace Flowers

Jiang Yan has made up her mind, but she still can't help but feel sad for the original Jiang Erya, who was sick and couldn't afford to treat her at home, so she sold her for money to study for her younger brother, and now she doesn't even let go of that little monthly money! I don't care about how my daughter is doing at all! What can you do with 500 wen in Jiafu, you have to order so many vegetarian dishes!

She used to think that only Jiang Fusheng was not a thing, but now she thinks that Jiang Zhao is also a raccoon dog. said that she cared about her daughter, she just didn't dare to resist Jiang Fusheng, her heart was still good, what about the facts? Jiang Erya was sick and sold, and she just looked at it with a reluctant and distressed face, and she didn't take any practical action! You're crying and begging for a while, but you can run fast with the money.

Jiang Yan packed up her mood and returned to Rongqing Hall, just when she ran into Zhou Rui's family coming over with a box, she hurriedly greeted, "Hello Aunt Zhou, what are you busy with?" ”

Zhou Rui's family saw her, "Shuang'er is back, have you seen your mother?" ”

Jiang Yan remembered that she sent Grandma Liu out at that time, and she heard it next to her, so she said, "I've seen it, I sent her away just now." ”

Zhou Ruijia nodded, walked to the backyard, and said vaguely: "Aunt Xue got a few newly made palace flowers, let me send them to the girl." ”

Jiang Yan knew that there were only two left in it now, and when she saw the big box in her hand that she was holding with both hands, didn't she let people know that it was left at a glance? Lin Daiyu is thoughtful, how can she not find out, this week the Rui family is too inattentive to people, and they refuse to change the box and pretend to be one.

She is a confidant next to Mrs. Wang, and she usually greets her everywhere, but she is the most sleek, saying that she forgot for a while, and someone must believe it.

Jiang Yan followed her into the backyard and asked, Miss Lin was at Baoyu's, and Zhou Rui's family went in to deliver flowers, and sure enough, Daiyu sarcastically said a word, and Zhou Rui's family stood there without saying a word. Baoyu hurriedly diverted the conversation and asked about the Xue family.

A few little maids snickered under the eaves, Jiang Yan went over, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Chun Xian smiled and pulled her to sit down, and lowered her voice, "Aunt Zhou sent a few leftover flowers picked by others to our girl, and our girl gave her a faceless, shameless face to speak." Look at who hasn't seen the palace flower! ”

Jiang Yan also smiled, but thought in her heart, sure enough, the little girl thought simply, this kind of slippery slave is thick-skinned! She can continue to laugh when the master smacks her face in the face, expecting her to be ashamed? If she was really afraid of you, she should have been busy explaining and pleading, this silent statement shows that she doesn't take Daiyu seriously, and if she doesn't explain, Daiyu can't help her, she just relies on Daiyu to be a guest outsider, and it's not good to worry about her. Do you try to change to Tanchun?

Zhou Rui's family is accustomed to relying on her master's majesty, and everyone is happy to see her lose face. In the evening, Jiang Yan's little maids in the same room were also talking about this matter, and a newly added little maid asked curiously: "Why do the sisters say Aunt Zhou?" I heard her tell Mama Li that she was just dropping by, but I didn't expect Miss Lin to be so small and annoyed. Maybe she's really just dropping by? ”

Jiang Yan glanced at the innocent little maid, "Your family will send things to your family first, and put the guests behind?" To do things for the above, you should first care about yourself whether you go along the way or not, regardless of what the person who receives the gift thinks? If you don't know how to do things, you don't know where to stay for a long time. Aunt Zhou is a human sperm, how could she make such a small mistake. She made an excuse, but you took it seriously. ”

Liu Er smiled: "Don't talk about her, but the time since she came in is short, she will naturally know in the future." Aunt Zhou's words are sensible and can be believed, but she is in power, and everyone holds her and should be in two sentences. ”

The little maid nodded ignorantly, not knowing if she understood.

On the second day, Sister Feng came to ask Jia's mother for leave, saying that You invited her to go shopping, and Baoyu was going to go, but Sister Feng couldn't help him, so the two took a car to Dongfu.

Jiang Yan didn't ask for leave to go out to play this year, just waiting for this, and asked for leave with Mandarin Duck yesterday. The mandarin duck knew that her mother came to her yesterday, and thought it was something at home, so she didn't ask anything.

When the two got up, Jiang Yan also packed up and went out. The carriages and horses were working over there, but Jiang Yan arrived at Ning Guofu first.

Although the wall of Ning Guofu is high, it is nothing to Jiang Yan now, she found a remote place to climb over the wall and go in. Watching You Shi and the others welcome Sister Baoyu Feng in, the group was lively, and then Sister Feng wiped the cards, Baoyu would Qin Zhong, and finally waited until Jiao Da scolded him, and this task was completed.

There are no rules in Ningguo's Mansion than Rongguo's Mansion, and it is not difficult to avoid those maids, but it is really a little cold, she still shiveres from the cold when she wears an extra one, and she only eats some dry food, the whole person is cold and hungry, and when she sees the end of the task, she immediately runs out.

At this time, it was dark, and the inns outside were already closed, so Jiang Yan simply went to a house outside Xie Jingxing's house.

This place is in Shihu Lane, which Xie Jingxing used to greet friends to play, she had been here before, and the servants inside all knew her, but they were all dressed as men, Jiang Yan spread her hair and put on a man's bun again, put on a cloak, and covered the whole person, so she stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Fortunately, the people inside had not rested yet, and they were all surprised to see Jiang Yan coming at this time. Jiang Yan only said that she was late in the city and couldn't find the inn for a while, so she had to be cheeky to trouble everyone. Although it was a little strange, he was a friend of Childe after all, and they didn't dare to ask more. only ordered the kitchen to serve the food immediately, Jiang Yan thanked them, and let the maid who came to serve go down first, and he hugged the bowl and ate wildly.

It's easy to fill her stomach, Jiang Yan went back to the guest room to wash, she didn't need a maid to serve when she came before, this time the maid helped her bring water and retreated, Jiang Yan finally felt at ease, took off her cloak, washed a little and went to bed.

She rarely slept in the morning, and didn't get up until about 10 a.m. It's pitiful to think about, she got up early at ten o'clock in the modern summer vacation, and now she can be considered lazy.

Fortunately, she had men's clothes in her baggage, otherwise it would have been strange to wear a cloak early in the morning. When she was dressed, the maids were already waiting outside with water, Jiang Yan hurriedly let them in, washing and eating.

When she finished eating, a maid said, "Our son is already waiting outside, please come with me." ”

When he arrived at the hall, Xie Jingxing was standing in front of the hanging paintings in the lobby, Jiang Yan walked over and said with a smile: "What? Haven't you seen enough of your own paintings? ”

Xie Jingxing hurriedly turned around, "You're here." ”

Jiang Yan nodded, walked to the Taishi chair and sat down, "Why are you here?" ”

Xie Jingxing also sat down next to him, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "There is a guest at home, how can I, the host, not know?" ”

Jiang Yan apologized: "I didn't want to disturb you, so I'll go back in the afternoon." ”

"It's okay, anyway, I've been suffocated by my dad recently, so it's good to be able to come out and breathe." Xie Jingxing looked at Jiang Yan Dao bitterly, "I don't know what happened to him recently, if he threw me into the southern camp, he also said that I like to practice martial arts, so I should practice in the Taoist military camp!" I just like to walk the rivers and lakes, okay! Who wants to be like him, living in the barracks every day, and not even going home! ”

Xie Jingxing complained about his father, and he was full of interest thinking about where to take Jiang Yan to play, "I heard that a new restaurant has opened on Zhengyangmen Street, focusing on Suzhou and Hangzhou flavors, I will take you to try it, and there is a shop on the west side of Chongwen Street, there are all kinds of rare things, let's also open our eyes, I haven't had time recently, so I just went together." ”

Jiang Yan knew that he was familiar with these things, and he happened to have something to ask him, "Do you know where palace flowers are sold?" ”

Yesterday, the maids went to see the two flowers of Daiyu, Jiang Yan saw that Lu Aya couldn't put it down, thinking that it was going to be her birthday recently, so she wanted to buy two for her as a gift.

"This thing doesn't sell outside, you want me to help you find it."

Jiang Yan didn't believe it, "Why not?" Mrs. Xue from our house gave more than a dozen flowers to people yesterday. It's not that I don't have any money, it's what I use as a gift, and you just tell me where I can buy it. ”

"The things made in the palace are all for the people in the harem, and they have always been regardless of the cost, how can they be sold out? Business didn't do that. Xie Jingxing explained, he thought about it, "Then Aunt Xue's wife is what you said about the imperial merchant Xue family sending girls to the palace to choose a companion to study, then it makes sense." ”

"How does it make sense, because her family is an imperial merchant and has channels to buy it?"

Xie Jingxing knocked on the coffee table, "It means that her girl has lost the election, this is for the unsuccessful show girl." ”

He didn't say it, Jiang Yan forgot that Baochai entered Beijing for the draft, no wonder Baochai recently said that she was not in good health, she was sick again, and she never came out to meet people. She didn't keep any of yesterday's palace flowers, so it's a rarity, so it's good to keep it. Although Baochai is approachable, she is also ambitious in her bones, and such a thing that proves her defeat was sent away early.

Jiang Yan didn't care about this, just listen to it. Since there are no palace flowers to sell, she retreats and prepares to find a few with good folk craftsmanship.

This Xie Jingxing can't help, he still knows a few jewelry stores, and this kind of velvet silk flower is beyond his range. His grandmother didn't bring that either.

After the two finished speaking, they went to Zhengyangmen Street, the sky and the earth are big, and the meal is the biggest. Jia Fuli is accustomed to heavy oil and salt, and she just tasted the light Huaiyang cuisine to relieve her greasy. After the two finished lunch, Xie Jingxing continued to shop, and Jiang Yan went to pick flowers and made an appointment to meet at five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Unitary time? You're not coming home today? Xie Jingxing asked her, this season, it's almost dark.

"If you don't go back, my sister will come to me if there is something in the future." Forget about the rest.

After buying velvet flowers, having dinner again, picking a place where no one was Jiang Yan changed into women's clothes in the carriage, and went back to Jiafu. Poor Xie Jingxing, a heroic son in fresh clothes and angry horses, has always traveled on horseback, but every time he and Jiang Yan come out, he has to take a car to change her clothes.
