Chapter 45: New Clothes
The next day, it was overcast and foggy.
Xu Qinghe, wearing a lilac-colored wide-sleeved dress, took Xu Yao to the Li Mansion.
The maid of the Li Mansion led the way in front.
Xu Qing and the master and servant followed. Although Xu Yao was carrying a large gift box in his hand, he still looked around along the way, his eyes were full of excitement, "Miss, Young Master Li's family has added a lot of strange flowers, and many flowers A-Yao can't be named......
Xu Qinghe walked forward along the stone road without squinting, and made fun of the words, "In this gray sky, it's hard for you to be able to separate new flowers and old grass!" ”
Xu Yao smiled and was stunned, "With Ah Yao's eyes, I can naturally see it clearly." Envious of the flowers and plants along the way, thinking of the faint little garden in Xu's mansion, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Miss, why don't you also buy some exotic flowers and flowers to raise at home?" ”
Xu Qinghe replied casually, "Okay! You go buy it, I'll come and see. ”
Xu Yao pouted suddenly, and the young lady was also stingy! "Where does Ah Yao have the money to buy these famous flowers......
"I would like to dig a pond in the yard, plant lotus flowers, and raise some fish." Xu Qinghe said with a smile, "Strange flowers can only be watched, and the lotus flowers are gone, as well as lotus pods and lotus roots, how affordable." And if you want to eat fish one day, you can still catch it and burn it......"
Xu Yao thought about the picture described by the young lady, and then looked at the scorching flowers on the side of the road, and felt that she still liked strange flowers and flowers a little more.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. Li lived. Su Jingshu got the news and came out to greet Xu Qinghe in person.
The two sisters held hands and entered the house, and immediately a little maid came up to serve tea.
Xu Qinghe motioned for Xu Yao to put the gift box on the round table, opened it with his own hands, and took out the gifts inside.
Su Jingshu curiously leaned over to take a look, and when she saw the contents of the box clearly, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Cousin, why did you give me clothes again?"
Xu Qinghe picked up a lotus-colored dress and unfolded it to show his cousin, smiling, "This time is different!" This is the new clothes in my shop, what does my cousin think? ”
When the long skirt was fully unfolded, Su Jingshu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but touch the fabric and the embroidery on the skirt, and asked in surprise: "Is such a beautiful dress really from my cousin's shop?" ”
Xu Qinghe kept smiling at the corners of his lips, "Of course, I will still trick you." As soon as it was made, I brought it to you. ”
Su Jingshu smiled, "So I accepted it, in order to live up to my cousin's wishes, I went out to participate in the banquet in the future, and I wore the clothes in Xu's shop." ”
"That's a good idea! The Li family has a big business, and my cousin has a lot of entertainment on weekdays, so I don't have to worry about not being able to sell my clothes when I go out for a walk in my dress! Xu Qinghe said with a smile.
He took out two sets of men's indigo round-necked robes and said, "These two sets are for my brother-in-law, and they are made of high-quality clothing." ”
Su Jingshu praised again, and then instructed the maid to put away all the clothes, and then pulled Xu Qinghe to the couch to sit and talk.
"Cousin, do you know that the county magistrate has been promoted?" Su Jingshu took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
Xu Qinghe shook his head, "I haven't heard any news for the time being. This is what your brother-in-law told you? ”
"Hmm. The husband said that Lord Shen will soon be the assassin of Meizhou, and he will move out of the county government in a few days and move to the new assassin's mansion! Su Jingshu thought that this was exciting news, but she didn't expect her cousin to be indifferent and not surprised.
Xu Qinghe secretly took a look at the current official position and the corresponding jurisdiction, and asked puzzledly: "The biggest official in Meizhou City has always been the county order, why is there a thorn in history now?" Or is Lord Shen going to work elsewhere? ”
Su Jingshu didn't expect this, thought about her husband's words, and replied: "It seems that it is because of the Jiedu that the adults are in the rectification of the political region, and many states and counties have made one place, all of which are under the jurisdiction of several assassins. Because Lord Shen is the eldest son of the Jiedu envoy, he has been promoted to three grades in a row, and he is in charge of many large and small prefectures and counties south of Jiannan Road......"
Xu Qinghe suddenly saw that the imperial court was in decline, and the local government gradually became more and more modest, so that he dominated one side, and such a reform of the county system was also within his power.
"Such a drastic rectification is probably another storm. However, according to the current situation, it is better to make a big change than the previous festival to make people drunk and dreamy all day long, and not want to make progress. ”
Su Jingshu nodded in agreement with what her cousin said, "Maybe if you move or change it, you will be able to play a game of chess." The Tibetans were ambitious to go south, but the imperial court did not do anything, so they could only work hard to save themselves. ”
Xu Qinghe listened to his cousin's remarks in amazement and approving, "Shibei three days, you should be impressed!" I didn't expect my cousin to have such a profound insight into current affairs now. Within three months of getting married, my cousin's knowledge has soared, and my brother-in-law has really contributed a lot! ”
Su Jingshu blushed and said angrily, "Cousin, is this praising me?" Or is it to my detriment? ”
"Naturally, I praise you!" Xu Qinghe replied with a smile.
Su Jingshu looked at her cousin with a smile like a flower, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Does my cousin know where the New Thorn Mansion is?" ”
Xu Qinghe shook his head to show that he didn't know, and when he saw his cousin with a gossip smile on his face, he teased: "Could it be next door to my house?" ”
Su Jingshu looked at her cousin with a smile and nodded gently, "Cousin guessed it right and was amazing!" ”
Xu Qinghe was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that there had been frequent commotion in the Liu family's old mansion recently, could it be that the new assassin's mansion was really settled next door to the Xu mansion?
Now the county magistrate is really looking up and looking down!
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse......
"Looking at my cousin's expression, isn't it because I don't want to be a neighbor with Lord Shen?" Su Jingshu asked.
Xu Qinghe hurriedly shook his head and explained, "How come?" It's just that the news came too suddenly, and I was a little panicked......"
Su Jingshu chuckled and comforted: "Cousin, don't be afraid. There is a Meizhou thorn history living next door, so you no longer have to worry about the young people going over the wall to steal. Maybe the land in Xu's house will also quadruple, and the cousin will make a lot of money! ”
Xu Qinghe was made to cry and laugh by his cousin's remarks, "Could it be that I am going to sell the Xu family's house to earn those tens of thousands of taels of silver?" ”
"Didn't my cousin say that he wanted to do business in Xingyuan Mansion? When the time comes, you can sell the old house! Su Jingshu said with a smile.
That's it, what comes is safe.
However, after thinking that he would have to live next to the biggest official in Meizhou, Xu Qinghe's heart went up and down.
She picked up the emerald tea cup on the desk, poured a sip of herbal tea, and said resolutely: "Okay! I will work hard for a few more years, and with the help of Lord Shen's east wind, I will sell the house as soon as possible and move to Xingyuan Mansion, and earn tens of thousands of taels of it! ”
Su Jingshu was taken aback by her cousin's resolute move, for fear that the tea cup would not be safe in the next second, so she hurriedly brought it over and asked the maid to bring it down, and ordered: "The tea is cold, go and bring a hot cup of it." ”
smiled at Xu Qinghe and Rourou again: "Cousin, what are you doing?" I said nonsense casually, it is difficult to sell the house. ”
