Chapter 109: The Man Under the Tree

The sisters agreed, Tian Qian'er went back to her yard, Xin'er was already standing in the hall waiting, as soon as she saw the young lady coming back, she stepped forward to greet her, poured tea and waited for the master to sit down, and then said in a low voice, "Miss, I went to the front yard to find the little pillar that followed the master out that day, according to him, the Zhao family lives in Yunjia Village, twenty miles outside the city, and the northeasternmost courtyard in the village is." ”

Tian Qian'er took a sip of tea and nodded, "Yunjia Village is not far away, but there is any other news?" ”

Xin'er thought for a while, and said, "Xiaozhuzi said that the Zhao family is very hospitable, they followed the master to the door that day, and even had a banquet, and the few villagers who accompanied the guests looked simple, well, there is nothing else." ”

"Okay, let's go down, remember to keep this matter secret, and if it leaks out, I'll settle accounts with you."

"Yes, miss."

After dinner in the evening, Tian He took a little maid to his mother's yard to ask for peace, the mother and daughter said a few words of gossip, Tian He lowered his head and twisted the handkerchief for a long time, before saying, "Mother, tomorrow I want to go to the street with my sister and pick two pieces of jewelry that fit my heart." ”

"He'er wants to pick out jewelry, send someone to Jinyulou to say, and Shopkeeper Wu will bring all the good jewelry over, so you don't have to go out of your way." Mrs. Tian thought that her daughter had finally opened her mind and was concerned about getting married, and she also had a smile on her face.

Tian He rarely insisted, and begged in a low voice, "Mother, He'er also wants to go out for a walk, and wait for next year... Well, maybe there won't be such an opportunity. ”

Mrs. Tian is also reluctant to marry her daughter, and although the Liu family is a businessman, they attach great importance to the rules, and their daughter must be bound when she marries, so she will not be as comfortable as in her mother's house, so she will be soft-hearted when she thinks about it, "It's okay to go out for a walk, but you have to take care of your sister, she is a squeamish and playful person, don't let her cause any trouble." ”

"Yes, mother, I will take a good look at my sister." Tian He got the permission of his mother, and there was obviously a hint of joy in his eyes, which made Mrs. Tian, who had not seen her daughter happy for half a year, suddenly became vigilant, at noon the younger daughter said that she wanted to learn dim sum, and in the evening the eldest daughter came to beg to leave the house, is this the younger daughter behind her back?

"The maids around you two sisters are small, why don't you let Leng Xiang accompany you, go early and return early, don't delay too long."

Tian He didn't expect his mother to send a big maid to follow, his face stiffened, he wanted to shirk it, and he was afraid that his mother would be suspicious, so he had to respond, and as soon as he returned to the yard after saying goodbye, he immediately sent the maid to report the news to his sister.

Tian Qian'er was directing the maids to toss a lot of her dresses, wanting to vacate a best Nanmu box and place the two precious brocades, and after hearing what the little maid said, she smiled and said, "Go back and tell my sister, you don't have to worry about her, just leave it to me." ”

The little maid took the words back, although Tian He didn't know what his sister could do, but he didn't think about it anymore, and told the maids to also put out a few sets of dresses, carefully picked out a set of elegant and dignified ones, and was full of expectations for going out tomorrow.

At the end of the next day, the newly-dressed sisters said goodbye to their mother, and got into a carriage and went out of the house.

As soon as she turned out of the street, Xin'er, who was sitting on the wheel, told the coachman, "Go out of the city and go to Yunjia Village." ”

Leng Xiang in the carriage was taking the snack box from the dark compartment of the car wall, and when he heard this, he asked, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, aren't you going to Jinyulou?" How did you get out of town? ”

Tian Qian'er immediately glared and scolded, "When does the master do something, he has to send someone to inform you of a slave first?" ”

Leng Xiang hurriedly knelt down to make amends, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, before going out, the lady told the slave and the maid to take care of the two young ladies, and the slave and maid asked more." ”

Tian Qian'er sneered, "Don't think that if you move out of your mother, I'll be scared." Today, my sister and I are going to Yunjia Village, if you dare to talk in front of your mother after you go back, be careful that I will rectify you. ”

Leng Xiang was so anxious that she pinched her skirt with both hands, last night Mrs. carefully instructed her to take care of the two young ladies, but she didn't expect the ladies to go out of the city instead of going to the silver building! Looking up at the eldest lady who has always been good-natured, I saw that she was reading with her head down, and refused to persuade her, I am afraid that she also had the same mind as the second lady, how is this good?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Tian Qian'er couldn't help but snort heavily, but did not continue to scold, but said something else very abruptly, "I heard that Fusheng under the eldest brother often goes to talk to you, I remember that you are still a fellow countryman, Fusheng looks not young anymore, presumably it is time to get married, one day I have to remind my mother, there are also many maids in the needlework room who have reached their age, and they are all ingenious..."

The more Leng Xiang listened, the more cold her heart became, if she didn't hide it for the two young ladies today, she and Fusheng would be separated, thinking that Fusheng was going to marry another woman, she couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly said, "Second Miss, don't worry, we are going to Jinyulou today." ”

"That's right, get up. In the future, when you get married, I will give you a good dowry. "Slap a sweet date, Tian Qian'er is very familiar with it, thinking that in the future, her mother will have her own eyeliner by her side, and it will be more convenient to act, so she will be more happy.

Tian He sighed when she heard it, and secretly praised her sister for being powerful, and she accepted Leng Xiang in a few words, if it was herself, I am afraid she could only come up with two ways to cry and beg or force each other to death.

The sisters rarely went out once on weekdays, so even if there were only empty fields and bleak mountains and forests outside the car window, the two of them watched with great interest, until the cold wind blowing in made their faces red, and finally lowered the curtains.

Soon the carriage got off the official road, turned onto the mountain road, and bumped all the way into Yunjia Village, and when it reached the last street, Xin'er stopped a villager and asked a few more words, and heard that the corner was the Zhao family, so he was relieved and told the coachman to drive straight over.

The coachman parked the carriage outside the courtyard gate, and Xin'er whispered into the carriage, "Miss, we have arrived." ”

Tian He and Tian Qian'er heard this, so they lifted the curtain together to see, and what they saw was a very ordinary small farm yard, the three grass houses were even a little dilapidated, a few bunches of dried vegetables and peppers were hung on the eaves, and the cotton paper on the window lattice was quite white. There is a low straw hut on the west side, which I don't know what it is for, and the east side seems to be a stove, faintly bubbling out of the white air.

Look at the courtyard again, on the rows of bamboo poles, hanging white cotton gauze, the cold wind blows, flutters up, and when it falls, it reveals the young man standing on one side, Shi Qing's square scarf is tied with black hair, the eyebrows and eyes are handsome, the face is fair, the same stone blue robe covers his thin and straight body, there is no trace of dullness, but it is more elegant, two slender hands, one behind his back, the other half holding the yellowed book, looking up and staring, as if his mind has left this turbid world, wandering outside the nine heavens...

"This Zhao family is really poor, and they haven't even built a side room," Tian Qian'er glanced at the yard twice, feeling a little contemptuous, but she didn't realize that the sister next to her was already stunned. From the moment that figure appeared in her eyes, her heart kept rumbling, rolling and echoing with a sentence, it's him, it's him, this is the man she suddenly looked back at and wanted to meet...

Tian Qian arranged her dress and instructed Xin'er, "Go and report it." ”

Xin'er answered, and ran to the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Fengnian sat bored in the house, and saw that it was rare for the weather to be good outside, so he took a book and walked around the yard, occasionally looking up at the laurel tree, remembering that he and Rui Xue had not long been married, Rui Xue wore her freshly washed long hair, and picked up osmanthus flowers under the tree, her face was so happy, as if she had picked up the best treasure in the world.

After he finishes all the old things, he must build a big yard and plant a garden full of osmanthus, golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, she will plant whatever she likes, and when they have children, she and the children play among the osmanthus trees, and touch the osmanthus flowers that fall to the ground, the scene must be extremely beautiful, thinking like this, his face can't help but smile, satisfied and comfortable...

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhao's house?"

Zhao Fengnian was awakened by a female voice, turned his head to look at the courtyard gate, only to see that a carriage had stopped there at some point, and a little girl in green was standing outside the door with her feet crossed and looking inside.

He couldn't help frowning, took two steps forward, and replied, "This is the Zhao family, I don't know what is the matter with you?" ”

Xin'er hurriedly saluted, "The slave maid greets Mr. Zhao, the slave maid is from the Lingfeng City Tianfu, and the two young ladies of my family came to visit Mrs. Zhao." ”

Miss Tafu? Zhao Fengnian couldn't guess what was going on with Old Man Tian's daughter, but it was not good to keep people out, so he opened the courtyard door, "My lady went to the dock, if the ladies are not in a hurry, they will go into the house to drink tea, and I will send someone to call her back." ”

Xin'er immediately ran back to the car, whispered a report, and then took a stool and helped the Tian sisters get out of the car.

Tian He's face was slightly red, and he greeted Zhao Fengnian first, calling him Mr., very respectful, but Tian Qian'er didn't have the slightest respect, just a hasty salute, causing Tian He to pull her sleeves, and she didn't pay attention to it.

Zhao Fengnian saw the small movements of the two sisters, and quietly led them into the hall to sit down, and then went out to make tea.

Tian Qian'er saw that there was not even a maid in this family, and a touch of disdain was added to her face. Tian He was immersed in his ecstasy, and he didn't have time to persuade her.

Zhao Fengnian came out of the hall, and it happened that Qian Heitan sent tofu back, and Aunt Yun was brought on the carriage, Zhao Fengnian instructed Qian Heitan to go to the dock to pick up Ruixue, and asked Aunt Yun to help greet the two young ladies of the Tian family, after all, he was a man, and it was not good to be in the same room with two boudoir women.

Aunt Yun originally sent some freshly steamed golden cakes to Ruixue, but when she heard that a female guest from the Zhao family was visiting and asked her to help entertain her, she naturally responded with a mouthful, took the teapot with a smile, and cut a few pieces of the golden cake and put it on the plate to make a snack to entertain the guests, and followed Zhao Fengnian into the hall.

Aunt Yun served tea to the sisters of the Tian family, and Zhao Fengnian said, "I have already sent someone to pick up the insider, presumably she will rush back soon, the two young ladies sit down for a while, and if you need anything, you will tell Aunt Yun that there is still something to take care of in the future, so I won't accompany you much." ”
