Chapter 366: Spring Affair (Part II)
Xu Lingyi talked to Eleven Niang about Xu Siyu's Tong Try: "...... I have already registered, and the exam will start on February 20. I will instruct Steward Zhao to accompany him to the exam, you don't have to worry about food, pen and ink, you just send him when the time comes. ”
Eleven Niang responded, or made a "step by step" purse and gave it to Xu Siyu.
Xu Siyu respectfully thanked Shi Niang when he came to greet him. On the day of the exam, I hung up that purse and went to the exam room.
After passing the test, he felt very good. I went to Shaohua Courtyard and talked to the second lady for a long time, and when the second lady came to greet Mrs. Tai, she also said: "It shouldn't be a big problem!" ”
Aunt Qin was overjoyed when she heard this, and wanted to make two clothes or food for Xu Siyu, but she didn't have time - she finally finished making shoes and socks for Brother Jie's request according to Shi Niang's request, and Shi Niang asked her to make summer shirts for Xu Si Jie.
Cui'er thought about Xu Siyu's bitter smile when he went to bring food to Xu Siyu.
"Sister Cui'er, you tell your aunt to tell her not to send me any more things in the future, and don't care about me anymore. With this kung fu, it is better to serve Mrs. well and serve Lord Hou well. I'll read well. So she doesn't have to worry about me. ”
But in this case, how dare she say it to Aunt Qin, who regards the second young master as the root of her life.
Seeing that Aunt Qin was worried, she couldn't help but persuade: "Qin Niang, the second young master studied hard at home every day a few days ago, and at this time, the exam is over, and it is early spring, why don't you go out and have a good time." You can let the second young master rest in peace! So as not to always be worried about when you will send something! ”
"You're right!" Aunt Qin hurriedly said, "It's time to let him rest." He's been working so hard these days. ”
Cui'er couldn't help but sigh, seeing Aunt Qin's hesitation, afraid that she would give her some embarrassing things again, she hurriedly smiled and said, "There are not many silver frost charcoal to burn the iron, I'll go get some." By the way, let's see if the second young master is at home! ”
"Go, go." Aunt Qin smiled with relief when she heard this, "If you go out, ask where you went?" When will you be back? What have you been doing these days? ”
Cui'er smiled and said yes and went to the outer courtyard.
Xu Siyu didn't go out, but went to the second lady, and Wen Zhu was packing up his things.
Cui'er was taken aback.
“…… The second young master said, no matter whether the test is good or not, as soon as the results of the children's test come out, we will go back to Le'an. Wen Zhu smiled and invited Cui'er into the house to drink tea, "The second young master and Yu Gongzi made an appointment to go to the Dafu Temple in Le'an on the eighth day of the fourth month to offer incense." If you don't leave in early March, you won't be able to catch up. ”
Cui'er was speechless for a while, lowered her head and drank tea, her eyes swept over Qin Xiang who was silently collecting the cage, but found that what she put into the cage was a beautiful blue Songjiang Sansuo cloth straight jacket.
"W-what is this......" she stood up abruptly, pointing to the straight hand and shuddering.
"This is the clothes that the second young master wore when he was in Le'an." Xiangxiang raised her head, looking a little sullen.
Cui'er looked at Wen Zhu: "You, how can you wear this kind of clothes for the second young master?" There was a few questions in his tone.
"Why can't you wear it!" Wen Zhu's big clear eyes looked at Cui'er calmly, "The second young master said, if others can wear it, he will wear it." ”
"The second young master is still young, how can you let it go. You must know that Madame sent you to the Second Young Master to serve the Second Young Master......"
"Sister Cui'er!" Wen Zhu interrupted Cui'er, "We're fine in Le'an. Mr. Jiang only said that the second young master was an old man, and the second young master never had a trace of arrogance in front of people. I wore the same clothes as my classmates, ate the same meals, and cleaned the school and toilet when it was my turn to be on duty, and I never complained. In addition, he studied hard, treated people modestly and politely, and learned that from the old man who guarded the door to Mr. Jiang, there was no one who didn't like it. The second young master lived a very happy life there. Sister Cui'er shouldn't say anything in front of her aunt, so as not to make some waves. ”
Cui'er was silent.
Even if she told Aunt Qin, what else could Aunt Qin do except cry twice secretly?
But when he thought that the second young master was actually wearing Songjiang Sansuo cloth, his heart was not a good taste, and the corners of his eyes became wet.
"Sister Cui'er." Wen Zhu shook Cui'er's hand, "The second young master said, if you have to endure hardship, you will become a master." The second young master has such ambition, and we people should be happy for him. Don't talk nonsense, let the second young master be in a dilemma. When the prince heard this, he would be unhappy. As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Cui'er didn't understand anything, and nodded: "I know." I won't say anything! ”
Wen Zhu smiled and made Cui'er a cup of tea again.
Cui'er thought about it, but couldn't help but ask, "Does the second lady know?" ”
"Yes." Wen Zhu didn't hide it from Cui'er, "The day after the second young master came back, the second lady came to see the second young master. knows that the second young master eats and lives the same as his classmates, and praises the second young master for his ambition! ”
Cui'er had nothing to say, sat for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.
Wen Zhu looked at her back and shook his head gently.
Qin Xiang was worried and said, "Sister Wenzhu is worried that Sister Cui'er will tell her aunt about this?" ”
"Sister Cui'er is a smart person." Wen Zhu shook his head gently, "She won't tell her aunt." I'm just thinking about ......" She paused slightly, and turned her face to see Taoliu and Lianjiao both looking at her with wide eyes, all looking immature, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm just thinking, it's good that I followed the second young master to Le'an, otherwise, I don't know how big the world is, there are many interesting people and many interesting things." ”
Qin Xiang hugged her with a smile, hugged her, and pushed her: "My sister went to Le'an alone, and she didn't take us with her, and she still said some cool things here." ”
Wenzhu just laughed.
But the words that Mr. Jiang said to the second young master when they first arrived in Le'an echoed in their minds: "...... It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance. When you can read it, that's when you understand why your father sent you to me to study. ”
She didn't know what this poem had to do with the second young master being sent to study at the Academy, she only knew that now there was a prince in the house, and the second young master was in a difficult situation later, and she was sad for the second young master. But when she came back from An Le this time, she somewhat understood Mr. Jiang's words - even though the Yongping Marquis Mansion is so good, they can meet their identities, and they are cautious and trembling when they meet everyone, but it is better to be in Anle, although it is coarse tea and light rice, they can speak loudly and laugh loudly......
Thinking of this, Wen Zhu pursed his lips and laughed.
They're about to go back to peace!
And at this moment, the main room is quiet, only the sound of the wheels of the east floor clock ticking.
Eleven Niang sat on the big kang near the window, and when she looked up, she saw Xu Sijie standing under the eaves.
He wore a straight shirt with a red pamptail leaf pattern, and looked at him lovingly, and his daughter-in-law of Nanyong surrounded him with a few little maids. He held a small flute in his hand, blushed from time to time and brought it to his mouth and blew it a few times, then looked down in disappointment for a long time, picked it up and blew it again, and then showed an even more disappointed expression.
The corners of Eleven Niang's mouth curled slightly.
Xu Sizhen was learning to play the horizontal flute with Mr. Zhao, Xu Sizhen looked at the bright eyes, and when Xu Sizhen was practicing, he leaned his elbow and listened quietly. When Mr. Zhao saw it, he made a small transverse flute and gave it to Xu Sijie, and told him to blow a small rhythm. Xu Sijie was like getting the most fun toy in the world, and he learned it in style. It's just that he is young, and he can occasionally whine and blow a sound, and more often than not, he can't blow a sound when his face is red. He was frustrated. But he didn't give up, he came back after school every day, and then stood under the eaves to practice playing the flute like Xu Si.
Nanyong's daughter-in-law didn't dare to quarrel with Xu Sijie, so she stood there every day to accompany her.
Seeing that a big smile bloomed on his face again, Shi Niang knew that he blew another sound, lowered her head with a smile, and pricked the thin embroidery needle next to the previous needle. The embroidery needle slipped down the thin silk yarn......
The silence was shattered by the sound of small footsteps.
A small akane figure burst in from the outside.
"Mother, Mother, you listen, you listen!"
Xu Sijie stood in front of the kang and put the horizontal flute to his mouth while panting.
"Woo woo ......" the flute made two dull sounds.
"Oops!" Eleven Niang hurriedly put down the embroidery needle, leaned over and kissed Xu Sijie's cheek, "We can blow twice for our brother!" ”
Xu Sijie's face flushed with excitement, and he picked up the transverse flute and blew it twice: "I can keep blowing, I can keep blowing." ”
Eleven Niang hugged Xu Sijie onto the kang, and Nanyong's daughter-in-law who rushed over hurriedly helped Xu Sijie take off her shoes, and Eleven Niang had already held Xu Sijie in her arms: "We are really good at commanding my brother!" ”
Xu Sijie nodded again and again, struggled to stand up, his small body straightened, and blew twice.
Eleven Niang clapped her hands.
Xu Sijie laughed proudly.
Eleven Niang smiled and touched his head. Xu Lingyi is back.
Amber walked in softly.
Eleven Niang touched Xu Sijie's head with a smile and asked her, "What's the matter?" ”
"The steward of the outer courtyard went back and forth, saying that the seat of Chunxi Building had been booked." She said with a smile, "I said that I would send it to Sixiang Hutong on time on the afternoon of March 17." ”
Wu Niang now lives in Sixiang Hutong. The housewarming banquet that was originally scheduled to be held was canceled due to the death of the eldest wife, but the congratulatory gifts of Siniang, Qiniang, Eleventh Niang and others were still sent over. Wu Niang sent someone to bring a four-color gift box to thank her, and said that after the first anniversary of filial piety, please go and sit down.
Eleven Niang remembered Xu Si's message: "...... It's time to release the list tomorrow! ”
"Tomorrow the list will be released." Amber smiled, "I'll go back to the office tomorrow morning and wait for the news." ”
Eleven Niang nodded with a smile, persuaded Xu Sijie to release the flute, and led him to Mrs. Tai's for dinner.
Amber went to the outer courtyard early the next morning. At the beginning, he hurriedly walked in: "Madam, the second young master is in high school!" ”
Eleven Niang was handling housework in the main hall of the front yard, and the housekeepers and mothers next to her exchanged glances with each other when they heard the words, and none of them said congratulations.
She couldn't help but laugh when she looked at it, and instructed Li's mother, who was in charge of the kitchen, "Add vegetables today." Then he said to Amber, "Go to the treasury and get some silver coins and give a reward!" ”
The mothers in charge rushed forward one by one to congratulate Eleven Niang.
