Chapter Eighty-Four: The Qian Mansion Celebrates Birthday Couples
Three days ago, she was still in Tong County.
Qu Qingyan smiled indifferently, because she didn't have that concern for Qu Zhaoyun, she didn't bother to care about this calculation that she didn't know who it came from.
I thought it would be a great headache for me, but I didn't expect Qu Qingyan to have no objection to this family matter, Qu Qingwen suddenly retracted his previous cautious heart, where is this fourth brother as difficult as Liu said.
Marriage has always been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers, and as peers, where can they meddle. Even if Qu Qingyan is needed to support the third room independently, there is no reason to meddle in the affairs of his sister's relatives.
Qu Qingwen was extremely satisfied with Qu Qingyan's reaction, and no longer mentioned Qu Zhaoyun's bad thoughts, and the three brothers talked about the end of the autumn season.
"Fourth brother, you wrote to say that you encountered some tricky things in Jinan, what are the tricky things? But solved? ”
The smile on Qu Qingyan's face froze instantly, how could that Zong Zirong speak so hard for her to speak, could it be that she wanted to tell them that her 'beauty' was coveted by others again?
"It's just a small thing, it's my grandfather who will be wrong."
"Well, I didn't expect that the fourth brother would be lucky enough to live in Lord Yu's house," Qu Qingwen didn't care about that little thing, and only said with envy: "Lord Yu was famous as Zhenjing Master when he was in Guozijian, and his reputation was even louder than that of Brother Yi'an, but it's a pity that he got the second place in the foreign test, otherwise he would be the first person in the three yuan of this dynasty." ”
After Yu Youtai entered the Hanlin Academy in high school, he has always been famous, and he also participated in the compilation of books, but later he retired for some reason, and went down to Shandong to be a little-known school official.
But all scholars, especially those who have not yet entered the officialdom, will always worship those who are extremely talented and learned, and Qu Qingwen is no exception.
Qu Qingyan is actually a little curious about this Lord Yu, but unlike Qu Qingwen's sighs and regrets, she thinks that Yu Youtai is fortunate that he can't win the third yuan.
In fact, there was a great talent in the three yuan of Lianzhong, but because of the position problem, the unlucky guy was cut down by Taizu and punished the nine clans.
How can Taizu's eyes be recorded in history? So from the beginning of the dynasty to the present, so many departments have passed, and no one has won this honor.
But in the eyes of others, the honor of infinite scenery is not auspicious in Qu Qingyan's eyes.
"Master Yu is indeed outstanding in learning, I don't know if he will return to the capital after his term expires next year."
If she can be on the gold list in high school next year, and she can enter the Hanlin Academy, she can be regarded as his colleague at that time, and if she wants to repay the love she was taken care of in Jinan before, she will always have a chance to get one or two points.
"This depends on what Master Yu thinks, if he wants to go back, there will be a way."
Yu Youtai has a deep relationship with the Gu family, and there have always been rumors in the capital that this Enke champion has never started a family until now, so he wants to rely on the previous family affair to continue to curry favor with Gu Enyang, the head of the household department, and pave the way for his future Qingyun Road.
When you are a backer of the court, is it not easy to return to Beijing?
Qu Qingwen has not gained much in the past few months by the side of Guozijian, and he has listened to a basket of these gossip.
Qu Qingyan just asked casually, shook his head and stopped mentioning Yu Youtai.
"It's getting late, and I should go back."
Qu Qingwen and Qu Qingxi didn't keep her anymore, Qu Qingxi watched Qu Qingyan's figure disappear outside the courtyard, and then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Big brother, is it appropriate for you and me to hide the truth from the fourth brother like this?" ”
"It doesn't matter whether you hide it or not, don't you see the attitude of the fourth brother just now?"
This younger brother, the only one who can rely on Qu Zhaoyun, has no care for her, so what does it matter why the sun falls into the water.
In a few days, she will leave for Shandong again, and she will return to the capital after a few days of delay in completing the paperwork, Qu Zhaoyun is already married, and her life is ripe, what can she do.
Could it be true that he wanted to send Qu Zhaoyun to the Yang Mansion to be a concubine for Yang Jianxian?
How can their brothers hold their heads up in front of Yang Jianxian in the future.
Qu Qingxi rarely agreed with Qu Qingwen's words, sighed slightly, and also arched his hand and left.
When Qu Qingyan returned to the courtyard, she saw that Mama Rong's face was speechless and stopped, and she raised her hand expressionlessly: "Mama Wang, you are waiting in the room today, and Mama Rong is guarding outside." ”
Mama Rong froze instantly, and wanted to rush forward to say something, but Mama Wang grabbed her.
"You don't want to think about your son and daughter-in-law on the spot in the house, why can't you make sense today."
Mama Wang whispered in her ear, and then hurriedly followed Qu Qingyan's steps, and went into the room to fetch water and wait for her to freshen up.
Qu Qingwen grew up beside Qu Wenhai since he was a child, and Changfang is the eldest grandson of his grandson, and the young man has a smooth journey, so his background and experience are enough to make him proud that he doesn't need to lie to anyone.
So just now in the side hall, when he kept rubbing the tea bowl while talking, and his eyes were floating uncontrollably, she knew that this brother was not telling the truth.
Qu Zhaoyun's marriage must have a secret in it that she doesn't know, but three days ago, the man came to the door and even ordered the dowry, and there is no way to change this family matter.
Since Qu Wenhai and the Liu family want her to be blind, then she will show them once as they wish.
Originally, when Qu Zhaoyun insisted on entering Beijing, she envisioned it for her again, and asked the Liu family to help her find a junior in the family of a five-grade official to marry, although she was born and her father was deceased, but with Qu Wenhai and her brother, she could live comfortably at her mother-in-law's house.
Outcome...... Thinking of all the things after Qu Zhaoyun, she didn't bother to let herself be kind enough to stick to the other party's cold ass.
Mama Wang cautiously peeked at Qu Qingyan, and saw that she had been expressionless from the moment she entered the door, but she was cold when she took the cloth towel to wipe her face, and the heart that originally wanted to help Mama Rong and Qu Zhaoyun talk about Xiang fell back in an instant.
Qu Qingyan swept her away, extremely satisfied with her knowledge.
At the end of the autumn season, there was no list, knowing that she would definitely be on the high school list this time, but she subconsciously still worried, she couldn't watch it anymore, she was too lazy to appreciate Mama Wang's desire to say and stopped, waved her hand and drove people out, turned off the lights and fell asleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, she hesitated whether to go to the backyard to see the Qin family, and a villain from Qu Wenhai's side came to pass her to Beiwangzhai.
On a rare day off, Qu Wenhai didn't rest in the mansion, but wanted to take a few of their brothers to the Qian Mansion, the mansion of the second-class master, she hadn't been there yet, and where could she refuse, so she hurriedly changed into a new robe and went to the plum garden to find Qu Qingwen and go to the past.
"Why did Grandfather suddenly think of taking us to visit the Qian Mansion?"
"Fourth brother, have you forgotten? Oh, it's the eldest brother who forgot that you went to Shandong at the end of May, and today is Lord Qian's birthday banquet and is just in time for Xiumu, so my grandfather has already decided to take you and my brothers to visit Qian Mansion today. ”
Qu Qingwen's words made Qu Qingyan laugh self-deprecatingly, and subconsciously felt that he was making a big fuss, but it was just a family affair of an unfavored granddaughter, where was it worth Qu Wenhai's great effort to use money as a shield.
The birthday banquet of several pavilion elders has always been a major event in the capital, and all the six Shangshu are in real power, no matter which one can not afford to offend, and they caught up with a long queue at the gate of Xiu Muqian's mansion early in the morning, Qu Wenhai and a few juniors waited in the carriage for half an hour, and then they barely rubbed the front of the house.
"Master Qu."
As soon as the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion saw Qu Wenhai's figure, he hurriedly greeted him, Qu Wenhai and Qian Shuben walked very closely, and this Qian Mansion also ran extremely diligently, and several housekeepers of the Qian Mansion were very familiar with him.
As the mansion of the second grade of the dynasty, the regulation is one level higher than that of the Qu Mansion, and a huge longevity character is pasted in the middle of the hall of five rooms and nine frames, and the red lantern with the longevity pattern hangs all over the eaves, which is solemn.
Qian Shuben would not stand in the hall to greet guests, and the main person in charge of receiving in the hall was his two sons, Qian Hongxin, the second son of the Zhengwupin Hubu Lang, and the concubine Zhengqian Hongbo, the sixth son of Dali Temple.
As for his eldest son, Qian Honghui, he was placed in Wuchang Mansion as the prefect.
The Qian family is different from the Qu family, Qian Shuben's sons are very talented in their studies, and they all passed the Jinshi examination before the age of 30, and Qian Shuben paved the way ahead, and the official career is smooth.
Qu Wenhai took Qu Qingwen and a few people into the door to say hello to Qian Hongxin, Qian Hongxin has not yet reached the age of confusion and is very well maintained, at first glance, it is only like the age of early thirties, a few points more handsome than Qu Qingyan's blessed father before he died.
"Master Qu." Seeing Qu Wenhai coming with someone, Qian Hongxin hurriedly greeted him.
"Lord Qian is in the study?"
"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhou, and Master Gu have all arrived, and my father is entertaining guests in the study."
Qu Wenhaiyuan still wanted to go to the study to find Qian Shuben, although the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew that he was standing with Qian Shuben, but the distance between them was close, and he still wanted others to see it more clearly.
But now that there are a few Shangshu adults in the study, it is simply boring for him to come over again.
Another person visited, Qian Hongxin said sorry and staggered out again: "Lord Yang." ”
There are many Yang lords in this court, and there may be only one person who makes Qian Hongxin so respectful, and the Qu family turned around and saw Yang Zhongjie standing not far away with Yang Jianxian and the juniors of the Yang family.
Qu Qingyan's gaze turned around on the other party and then retracted it, she could feel that the appearance of the Yang family made Qu Wenhai and Qu Qingwen around her a little uncomfortable.
"I didn't expect Master Qu to come so early." Yang Zhongjie greeted Qian Hongxin, and then staggered and went straight to the Qu family.
Qu Wenhai only smiled and said, "It's just that I just arrived, and I thought it was only the time for tea earlier than Lord Yang." ”
"If there is another half-moon and autumn, the list should be released, I don't know how the juniors in the Qu family's family are doing?" Yang Zhongjie's gaze fell on Qu Qingyan as soon as he turned his gaze.
This guy really doesn't know if it's too good luck or too bad, it's obviously a dangerous situation several times, but in the end, she can always turn the danger into a disaster, so why did he bother to offend Qu Wenhai plainly.
Qu Qinghong must have missed the Zhongju this time, and because of his kneeling in the study the day before, the article written by Qu Qingyan when he left the field was not handed over to Qu Wenhai, and then Yang Zhongjie asked that Qu Wenhai didn't know whether he should be modest.
"Qingyan kid is still a little younger, this time he just won't stay until the next time, he will only be nineteen, don't be in a hurry."
He will go to Qu Qingyan's age to bite very hard, what about Yang Zhongjie's grandson, who is famous in Beijing, is not yet twenty years old and has not yet appeared on the list.
The two of them glanced at me, and several juniors were a little uncomfortable, and several of them tacitly withdrew from the main hall and found a secluded place to sit under the tree.
"Qing Yan did well in the test this time?"
Since he just met Qu Qingyan in the main hall, he has not looked at Yang Jianxian with his eyes, this cognition makes Yang Jianxian's heart extremely uncomfortable, he is very sad during this time, every time he thinks of the events of Qixi Festival, he always hates that day when he falls into the water with him, the person is Qu Qingyan.
If it were her, if she took the opportunity to let people know that she was a woman, a woman with first-class appearance and talent, how good it would be.
has the experience of falling into the water, even if his grandfather doesn't want him, he can try his best to make him do this family business.
Once this thought took root, it was like a weed that grew wildly after the rain, instantly filling his whole heart with overflow, and there was no longer a trace of side thoughts.
He looked at Qu Qingyan, and he couldn't tell what the expectation in his eyes was.
Qu Qingyan didn't like his gaze very much, it seemed that since the two of them broke the window paper in Wangxian Tower that day, this person's gaze has become more and more unscrupulous.
"Brother Tuo Yi'an's blessing, Qingyan consciously took the exam very well, and there is a chance that he will be in high school."
Knowing that such a statement sounded too arrogant, but the gaze was too dazzling, Qu Qingyan couldn't help but feel a sense of annoyance in his heart.
"High school? Oh, high school. Her voice was a little colder than usual, the fire in Yang Jianxian's eyes was extinguished, and she hung her head and said nothing.
Qu Qingwen only felt that there was something strange between the two of them, his eyes wandered over the two of them, and he suddenly thought of Qu Zhaoyun's matter.
Could it be that Qu Qingyan already knows the truth and complains a little about Yang Jianxian?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very great, but no one mentioned the events of that day at the moment, and after that day, the two families had been tacitly understanding that nothing had happened, and now in front of outsiders in the Qian Mansion, what did he say?
Qu Qingwen's heart was rare and a little bored, and it was rare for a few people to sit under the tree without saying anything.
"Yi'an? So you're here. ”
A voice came from a distance, and Qu Qingyan looked up and saw that Jiang Jinchang was not far away.
He was followed by a burly and sturdy man, with a pair of eyes on his bronze face that looked particularly sharp, and her heart suddenly sank, and she could follow Jiang Jinchang's side and the momentum was so sharp, I am afraid that it is the eldest son of Yongning Hou, Jiang Jinfeng, the son of Yongning Hou.
"I've seen the Hou Shizi of Yongning."
As if to help her affirm the thoughts in her heart, Qu Qingwen and Yang Jianxian got up together and arched their hands at Jiang Jinfeng, Qu Qingyan's figure was half hidden behind Qu Qingwen, and he was also busy getting up and saluting.
Jiang Jinfeng didn't seem to like this kind of birthday banquet, and the aura of his whole body was so cold that it was difficult to get close.
