Chapter 21 The Comer is a Guest
Shaohua raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw Yan Sui walking in with a smile, dressed up in a colorful silk dress that made her extremely charming. His hair was loosely curled in a bun, a ruby inlaid gold silk Huasheng was inserted obliquely between his temples, and he wore a huge Dongzhu collar around his neck. I heard Cui's mother say that although Yan Sui and Qichen's father ranked second, they were not top figures. But after reading books and gaining fame, although he is an epiphysis, he is enough to raise his eyebrows in the family.
And Yan Sui's mother died of illness during her husband's scientific examination, and the elderly and poor children in the clan would affect the examination, so they were sent to the sect for foster care. Yan Sui is smart and well-behaved, and he is quite popular with the patriarch, and Yichen loves to read, so that the elders of the clan can see the hope of the future of the Liu family. In contrast, his father only got an epiphytic when he was young, and Yichen was already born before he reached the weak crown, which undoubtedly made them all excited.
According to the development of this situation, maybe the Liu family can also be like the Li family, and come out with a champion to explore flowers and the like.
Of course, they didn't expect that the Li family had been studying scientific research several generations before them. Before Li Gelao, there were already two generations of talents, and one generation of sons, only then did they have excellent genes. At this time, the Liu family wanted to ride a horse and chase after it, and drive alongside the Li family, I am afraid that it will have to wait for Yichen's grandchildren to complete it at the earliest. But the so-called marriage is not only a marriage, such as taking care of each other in business, such as mutual support in officialdom.
The Liu family couldn't wait to send the Yichen brothers and sisters, hoping to take the first step.
"I didn't have energy in the daytime, and I didn't sleep well last night?" Yan Sui's voice was sweet and tactful, and she looked squeamish and pitiful. Even though the Liu family is not close to these nephews and nieces, it also makes Yan Sui happy, and she should be treated as if she is a daughter.
"Sister Yansui, it's really funny to look at the fifth sister, lying on the table, like a big worm."
Shaohua was about to get up and say a few words to Yan Sui, but he heard another harsh voice behind Yan Sui, and Yan Sui also covered his mouth and sneered.
She frowned slightly, and saw that the first lotus and young people behind her looked like they were about to move, and hurriedly coughed in a low voice to stop their impulse. With his eyes closed, he could hear who the owner of this voice was, and Shaohua knew in his heart that this person's ability to pick bones in eggs had always been strong.
So, he turned over and changed to dry with his hands, and the whole person was half-leaning on the table, looking at them lazily: "Morning." β
Yan Sui's smile remained unchanged, but her tone was a little resentful: "Fifth sister is so welcoming guests?" β
Shaohua stretched and said with a smile: "Qi Niang and Sister Yan Sui both said that I was like a worm, so I naturally had to greet me in the way of a worm." Qi Niang has ever seen a worm as big as me, who can talk, and who will walk in front of you and be so close to you? Shaohua got up and walked towards Jinhua, approaching step by step, her eyes straightened, she grinned lightly, and deliberately whispered in her ear.
Jinhua listened to her detailed description, couldn't help but shiver, took a few steps back, and hid behind Yan Sui.
"Okay, fifth sister, don't make trouble, look at you scared the seventh sister." Yan Sui leaned away to avoid Jinhua's closeness.
Shaohua shrugged his shoulders, "I thought Qi Niang had seen it." "She was never polite to rude people, and as soon as she entered the door, she teased her first." Sister Yan Sui, why do you have time to come here today. Shao Huajing walked to the room and sat on the soft couch.
Yan Sui didn't invite her when she saw her, knowing that she was annoyed with Fang Cai Jinhua's joke, so she didn't tear it up, walked in by herself, found a chair, and sat down beside her. "It's said that it's adjacent, but it's the first time I've come back to my fifth sister's yard. The open space in front of this house is really open and refreshing. β
Originally, not far from the house, two bushes of red-leaved heather were planted, because the Ling family didn't like heather flowers, so they took advantage of the fact that the Liu family cleaned up the yard for Yan Sui and also gave it a whole up. On one side, a few plants were replaced, and a pavilion was originally going to be built on the other side, but for fear of colliding, I simply built a pergola and planted a few climbing vines. Not long after the roots of the tree landed, the leaves had not yet been thinned, and looking deserted, the Ling family had to bring a few more pots of five-colored begonias to decorate the faΓ§ade.
The Ling family was afraid that the youngest daughter would not be used to living at home, so everything depended on her yard in Pu'an Ling's house. But I don't know what flowers and plants Shaohua planted outside, she doesn't care at all, anyway, as long as the bed is big and soft enough, she is not afraid of bare outside.
"Oh." Shaohua was lazily reluctant to talk, which made Yan Sui's face a little uncomfortable.
After all, the person who came was a guest, and he was still an in-law with a foreign surname, so Chu He hurriedly replied for the master. "Yan Niangzi came just in time, this morning, Xiyuan sent a basket of persimmons to our lady, saying that they were freshly picked. My lady said that persimmons moisten the lungs and want to keep them for my sisters and sisters to share. I was about to go out and send it to Yan Niangzi and Qi Niangzi, you guys came, and I asked the little maid to cut it and send it. When Shaohua heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, Chu He's ability to open his eyes and say nonsense is really good. Yan Sui, who looked embarrassed, listened to the words, her expression was much soothed, and she nodded at her.
Chu He greeted him with a smile, so that Yan Sui had to go down the steps, and took advantage of the blessing to salute and secretly pulled the corner of Shaohua's skirt.
At this time, the little maid came up with tea, and the girls picked up the teacup and took a sip, which was regarded as turning the page of what had just happened.
"Fifth sister, just now we went to the courtyard of the third sister, but no one was there, but we left all the books and chapters. I just said that I was a guest with my mother, huh? Fifth sister, why didn't the third sister bring you with you. Jinhua picked a topic, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Shaohua wanted to smash the cup.
This girl is itching if she doesn't pick a thorn in her for a day, in a word, it's good, but she makes people uncomfortable.
Shaohua put down the teacup slowly and methodically, and said quietly: "I'm not the maid of the third sister, why does she have to bring me with me." Could it be that the third sister took Qi Niang with her when she went out before? β
Hearing Shaohua's tone, Jin Hua was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing again, but he was provoked by Shaohua, and his little face turned red.
Yan Sui didn't even look at Jinhua, "The third sister is really, how can such a big thing hide us so much, do you treat me as an outsider." Shaohua paused when he heard this, quietly glanced at Yan Sui, and heard her tone slightly sour: "In fact, a delicate lady like the third sister, which Langjun would not like it." It's just that I haven't heard that the third sister is married before I came, why is it decided in such a hurry? β
Shaohua was silent for a moment, thinking about not being surrounded by Yan Sui, "Sister Yan Sui is really well-informed. She also just found out that Yan Sui actually asked the teacher to ask for guilt.
Yan Sui was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Didn't we just come back from the third sister's courtyard?" The third sister is really, if she really finds her wishful husband, then she has to say it to make everyone happy and happy. β
Yan Sui knew in his heart that the Li family today didn't care about the marriage, or rather, it wasn't as good as the Liu family. Forget about those who stay in the family, Langjun and Niang in Beijing, which is not a wishful candidate in the eyes of rich and noble families. If they want to give up their good in-laws, but marry the Liu family, who has no foundation in Beijing, even if it is the meaning of the clan, the parents are a little reluctant.
Therefore, when the patriarch of the Li clan heard that the Liu family was going to send Yichen to Li Ge's old mansion to study, he just said that Li Ge Lao was now in a high position, and he should be consulted about his in-laws before making a decision. Yichen is now in his good years, and he should focus on reading, and don't be delayed by other things.
To put it bluntly, wait for Yichen to be famous. Otherwise, with Li Gelao's status, it is really difficult for him to give his granddaughter to someone who has no merit. The Liu family can only promise to be, but they scolded Patriarch Li thousands of times in their hearts, who doesn't know that Li Ge is always Patriarch Li's brother.
In a word from the elder brother, can the younger brother still say no?
However, having said that, before Yichen entered Beijing, the patriarch told him that he must go all out and earn a reputation to come back, and he couldn't let the Li family look down on him. And the instructions to Yan Sui are to build a good relationship with the Li family and try to integrate into the small circle of the Li family.
"What Sister Yan Sui said is, but I'm afraid that the third sister herself doesn't know. Parents and elders are in charge of major marriage matters, which little lady will be embarrassed to ask. Shaohua spread out his smile and played Tai Chi with Yan Sui.
"But the day I first came, I heard that the fifth sister wanted to be the master of her husband." Since the big ones don't have a chance, the small ones can't escape. "The fifth sister has an intention in her heart?" Yan Sui's eyes turned to Shaohua more and more cordial and gentle, and Shaohua had goosebumps all over his body. "If there is, it is better to say it, so that my sister can take the palm of your hand. If you want me to say, a person like the fifth sister who can read and be good at music can also have an informed and interesting Langjun. My brother used to say that a woman who is knowledgeable and good at learning must be the most sincere woman in the world. β
Jin Hua was stunned for a moment, looked up at Yan Sui, and then at Shaohua.
"Huh, huh?" Shaohua smiled reluctantly, Yan Sui is ready to take the initiative to promote his brother this time?
"That's nature, fifth sister, I'll be your own person, tell me about it." Yan Sui flashed gossipy eyes.
Say what? Do you want her to say that she has a sweetheart and is not interesting to your brother? It is estimated that if she says this, Yan Sui will immediately turn her face with her, knowing that the Liu and Li families will get married, and Wanhua has already gone to find relatives, if Shaohua also puts her together, she will have the urge to pack her luggage and go home.
"Having said that, there have been a lot of ladies in the house recently, I wonder if Bohm is taking care of Sister Yansui." Shaohua turned the spearhead back faintly, "Sister Yan Sui has a candidate in her heart?" β
"How did it get to me?" Yan Sui's face turned red, and her voice slowed down.
"Sister Yansui is older than me, and she is already in time, so naturally my sister comes first." Shaohua said as a matter of course, "Sister Yan Sui thinks what kind of Lang Jun is the best in her heart, but she can't find the best, at least there must be a comparison." β
"I don't have any wishful thinking." Yan Sui's eyes flickered, and he was so fooled by Shaohua that his words stammered a little, "It's best to be the four gentlemen in Beijing." β
Shaohua thought for a moment, and then said: "Four gentlemen, the eldest brother has already married, and the prince is punctual and filial. Shaohua automatically skipped the possibility of Yan Kaizhi and exclaimed: "Could it be that Sister Yan Sui has taken a fancy to the second brother?" β
"W-what." When Yan Sui was said like this, her heart jumped, and she hurriedly waved her hand. glanced around, and deliberately asked, "Why don't you see the pipa given by Mr., I still want to ask my fifth sister to play another song." β
has successfully changed the topic, Shaohua didn't care about Yan Sui's panic just now, and said with a smile: "Mr. asked me to learn a new tune, I haven't practiced it yet." β
"That's fine with yesterday's tune." Yan Sui was afraid that Shaohua would have another problem, so he said in a panic.
Shaohua shook his head: "I was reprimanded by the third sister yesterday, saying that it shouldn't be learned by everyone's mother, and it's better to play less." β
Jinhua, who had been unable to speak, lowered his head, his eyes swept around, and his eyes fell to the embroidered basket by the window. A little curious, standing up, Yan Sui thought she was leaving, and also felt that it was boring to sit for a long time: "Okay, there is no ear blessing today, so let's listen to it when the fifth sister learns the new tune." β
Unexpectedly, Jinhua walked straight to the window, Youhan exclaimed in a low voice, too late to stop, only to see Jinhua pick up the half-embroidered mandarin duck playing in the water, and asked Shaohua: "The fifth sister is really fast, and half of the homework was done yesterday morning." Jinhua paused, glanced at Youhan next to her, saw her eyes flickering, and nodded clearly. Sister Wu, don't worry, I won't tell my husband. β
Shaohua didn't have Youhan, and they would help her do her homework secretly, but Jinhua's attitude made her feel displeased.
walked over, pulled the handkerchief in Jinhua's hand, and said lightly: "You know that my craftsmanship is not good, so let them embroider a finished product for me first." It's not too early, I have to go to Xiyuan to see if A-Niang has come back, do you want to go over together? β
Jinhua was bored with himself: "I'm going to accompany my aunt." β
Hearing Jinhua say this, Yan Sui couldn't agree: "I also have to go back, and I said that I would accompany Aunt Sixth to dinner this morning." β
"Then I won't keep you." Shaohua lightly ordered the eviction, and the two girls felt bored, so they had to say goodbye to her.
After Youhan walked to the door and watched them leave, he turned around and came back, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw that Shaohua was paralyzed on the soft couch.
"Wu Niangzi, no matter how Yan Niangzi is, she is still a guest in the end, how can you drive her away like this." Before Youhan's words were finished, he heard Shaohua put down the embroidery rules heavily. She was startled by the sound, held her heart in her hand, and watched Shaohua come over expressionlessly, and couldn't help but bow her head, not daring to make a mistake.
"You and Chu He were both sent by A-Niang, and I should regard you as the closest people." Chu He had just come back from outside, and when he heard Shaohua's words, he was also stunned, not knowing what she meant.
Shaohua looked at Youhan for a long time, and saw that she was almost about to bury her head in her stomach, and looked at Chuhe again.
After a while, he exhaled faintly: "You all remember to me, if you are not in your position, you will not seek politics, and you will not have to be by my side." If A-Niang knew that you had two hearts, she wouldn't be able to keep you. β
"Yes." After the two of them glanced at each other, they both responded cautiously.
