Chapter 42: The Old Man
Meng Yuxuan told Shangguan Xi her thoughts, and Shangguan Xi did not object to the plan to go to the city. And Meng Yuxuan wanted to discuss this matter with him. After all, business has nothing to do with children, that's what she should worry about. As long as Shangguan Xi has no objection to following her to the city, the rest is easy to say.
Meng Yuxuan made up her mind, so she put on her hat and went to the city. She now goes to the city every ten days, just to play a song in the teahouse. Now the reputation of the leisurely layman is very loud, and the performance every ten days has caused students from other cities to rush to come, so every ten days is the most lively day in the city. Because of her, this ordinary little town has prospered a lot.
"Did you hear that? The eldest lady of the Tang family has a very beautiful wedding dress, and when she married to the Yang family in the wedding dress, the eldest son of the Yang family stared straight at her. Originally, the eldest son of the Yang family was not satisfied with this marriage, and felt that the eldest lady of the Tang family was ordinary in appearance and was not worthy of him. But as soon as the eldest lady of the Tang family got out of the sedan chair, his attitude changed suddenly. ”
In the bustling streets, the people talked about the funniest things they had heard. When Meng Yuxuan passed by their side, she heard the words 'Tang family' and 'wedding dress', so she slowed down.
The wedding dress had been handed over a few days earlier, and she had been in the country all day, unaware that such an interesting thing had happened.
"The eldest lady of the Tang family is married, and the dowry can be called ten miles of red makeup. Did you see it yesterday? The back ten rings are sprinkled with happy money, from the street to the end of the street. If it weren't for the guards protecting him all the way, I don't know if the sedan chair would be able to enter the Yang family! ”
"Now the unmarried girls in the whole city are running to the Yang family! They wanted to find out where the wedding dress came from and which master embroiderer made it. ”
"I heard that there is a pair of luan birds on the wedding dress, which looks like they are alive from a distance, and they are very beautiful. It's a pity that the eldest lady of the Tang family was in the sedan chair yesterday, and we, the rural women, couldn't see it. ”
"What's this? With the temperament of those eldest ladies, how could such beautiful clothes be enjoyed exclusively by the eldest lady of the Tang family? In a few days, it will be revealed who the embroidery master is. There will definitely be more works coming out then. Even if we poor people can't afford it, it's always okay to look at it from afar, right? ”
"That's right."
Meng Yuxuan pressed back the crooked hat, quietly approached the backyard of the teahouse, and entered the teahouse from the backyard as usual.
"Madame is here." When Fang saw Meng Yuxuan, he greeted him warmly.
"Aunt Fang." Meng Yuxuan put down her hat and smiled faintly.
Fang Shi was stunned, and surprise flashed in his eyes. She blushed and smiled, "Madame is getting more and more beautiful." The little woman can't take her eyes off it! ”
"My aunt loves to joke." Meng Yuxuan smiled. "Is Old Zhou still busy?"
"Not really. Recently, business has been getting better and better, and the old man is still considering whether to buy the old house nearby and expand the teahouse. Fang Shi pulled Meng Yuxuan into the wing.
"I have something to tell my aunt today." Meng Yuxuan said: "Old Zhou is busy with him, don't bother him, I told my aunt the same." ”
"Done. You say! Fang Shi poured a cup of tea and said with a smile: "This is this year's new tea, how do you taste it." If you think it's okay, take a couple back and try it. ”
"No need. Sell your aunt's tea to those who are elegant and elegant! I love to drink some homemade flower tea. Meng Yuxuan smiled.
"But do you think your aunt is stingy? It's really too rare for this tea, and it's only five taels in total. Fang Shi hurriedly explained.
"My aunt misunderstood. Yuxuan really can't get used to drinking those strong teas, and only loves flower tea. Meng Yuxuan thought, how can those ordinary tea leaves be compared with the flower tea in the space?
"That's done. Auntie is afraid that you will misunderstand. Fang said: "By the way, you said something to tell me just now. What's up? ”
"I came to tell my aunt that I won't be sending pastries for the past few days." Meng Yuxuan smiled.
Fang's expression changed slightly, he stood up suddenly, and said with a nervous expression, "Why is this?" ”
"Auntie, don't get excited, sit down and talk." Meng Yuxuan hurriedly grabbed her and patiently explained that she planned to come to the city to open a store.
Fang Shi heard her explain the reason, and then he was relieved. She was afraid that Meng Yuxuan would find a new buyer, and she was reluctant to sell the pastries to them again. It's just that they can't provide pastries for a few days, and their business here will be affected. Nowadays, many scholars who come to the teahouse will bring back a bag of pastries to their families. There are not enough pastries to sell every day.
The Fang clan was still thinking about whether they could ask Meng Yuxuan to make more and send it over. I never thought that she would open a store in the city, and now it will be delayed for a long time.
Although I am reluctant to affect my business, I can't help it. However, when her shop is opened, it will be much more convenient to find her to order pastries in the future.
"Is there a place where my aunt can help?" Fang Shi took her hand and said, "If you need anything, just ask." We are a family, don't be polite. ”
"Auntie rest assured. If there's anything I need, I'm not going to be polite. Meng Yuxuan said: "Since you're here, let's play a song today!" ”
"That's a good idea. You don't know how much they expect your sound. Some people came from far away, and they were simply crazy. Fang sighed.
Meng Yuxuan sat in front of the piano, her fingers plucking the strings.
The beautiful sound of the piano is like a breeze, spreading to the front hall not far away, to the streets in the distance, and even to further places.
During this time, she practiced that set of plum blossom exercises, and her mood was different from before. In the past, she hid the hatred of her past life and the hatred of this life in her heart, but now she feels that the sky is so blue, and the voice of the bird is so light and brittle, that even the small village that does not want to see her is as beautiful as a fairyland.
In the front yard, the students stopped discussing. They looked in the direction where the sound of the piano was coming from, and one by one they became intoxicated.
What Fang said was no exaggeration. Isn't this infatuated man about to go crazy? They all fell at the feet of a man called Leisurely Layman.
"Old Zhou, but the layman is here?" Among the many white-clothed scholars, a handsome man stood in front of a couplet, his eyes looking in the direction where the sound of the piano came from.
Next to the white-clothed scholar stood a woman wearing a hat. There was a girl ring behind the woman, and the girl ring kept looking at the men around her vigilantly.
She couldn't help but think, I really don't know what Miss thinks. is a beautiful lady, and she actually stays with a group of poor scholars. If it spreads, who will dare to ask her for marriage in the future?
"Today is not the day we agreed to be. But it's really her voice. Maybe it's the excitement! Zhou Lao touched his beard and said.
"Old Zhou, the little woman has admired this layman for a long time, can you introduce us to it?" The woman, that is, Tang Qiushui said.
"This ...... I'm afraid it won't work. At the beginning, we agreed that she would only come to me to play the piano, and she would come and go whenever she wanted. I was not allowed to bring anyone to her without her permission. So, I'm afraid it's not going to work. Zhou Lao shook his head and said to the others: "You take your time, the old man will go to entertain the leisurely layman." ”
Tang Qiushui watched Zhou Lao leave, his brows furrowed slightly. She cautiously glanced at Li Ye next to her and said, "Ziling, don't you want to see that leisurely layman?" Why not? Zhou Lao has always valued your talent, and if you bring it up, he will definitely agree. ”
"Even if Elder Zhou would agree, it would be difficult for a strong man. I could see that he did not shirk it, and that he could not take us to the layman. In that case, why bother? Li Ye smiled and said, "Aren't you going to see your clan sister?" Let's go now! ”
"That's right! Ziling, you're still in a hurry! You have been studying outside for so long and have not been home for a few years, and the people at home are afraid that they miss you very much. Tang Qiushui said thoughtfully.
"It's alright! But it's really in a hurry. You go to see your clan sister, we will leave for the capital tomorrow. Li Ye's mind conjured up the figure of a pretty girl.
When he left the house to study, the girl shyly gave him a handkerchief embroidered for a month. She didn't say anything, but he knew what she wanted.
It's a pity that I can't see her when I go back this time. She is not a little girl now, but the daughter of a rich and noble family. She no longer has to be wronged, no longer has to endure the difficulties of the master's family, and no longer has to worry about being sold. She has a father and a mother, and a maid to serve. Perhaps, she has forgotten about him!
At her age, she should be able to say kiss. With such beauty, there are many people who ask for marriage! Will she say yes?
"Ziling! What are you thinking? Tang Qiushui couldn't stand the scrutiny of those scholars. If it weren't for Li Ye's liking, she would never have come to this kind of place.
"Huh? It's nothing. Li Ye said: "That leisurely layman has finished playing?" ”
"It's been a while. What were you thinking just now, but you didn't even pay attention to your favorite leisurely layman. Tang Qiushui quipped.
"I just think that there may not be these small towns in the capital to live comfortably. I suddenly wanted to stay, I didn't want to go anywhere. Li Ye sighed tiredly.
"What nonsense? Let's go! Tang Qiushui pulled up Li Ye's sleeves. But as soon as she touched him, he shook off her hand.
Tang Qiushui was stunned. Everyone around her looked at her, and she felt embarrassed.
Fang Fei frowned, and pulled Tang Qiushui out quickly. After leaving the teahouse, Fang Fei said, "Miss, let's go find the eldest lady!" ”
"Hmm. You go and prepare a gift. Tang Qiushui said softly: "Let's visit as Ziling!" So that the eldest sister would not have guessed that I was coming. I'm going to scare her. ”
Li Ye smiled. She touched Tang Qiushui's head. Facing Tang Qiushui's affectionate eyes, he smiled and regained his expressionless face again.
"With the Tang family's love for you, I'm afraid that you have already notified the Tang family here before you get here. Do you think you can scare them? Li Ye said lightly.
"Huh? Do my father, mother, grandfather and grandmother all know that I am here? That can't be done, I have to hurry up and visit the clan sister. Tang Qiushui said, pulling Li Ye in the direction of the Tang family.
