Chapter 909: It's all here
Chapter 909 All that should come
Mrs. Liu returned to the mansion and sighed with her husband, "You didn't see the appearance of your son in front of the third girl of the Jiang family, he was stupid and dumb."
Liu Yunfu, who was looking at the account book, asked without raising his head, "Is it stupider than my husband?"
Looking back on that year, Mrs. Liu smiled, "You father and son are on par. But Miss Jiang San is much more beautiful than I was in those days, and Jiang Liuniang is no one who can take her sister. This time I go to Beijing, what I regret most is that I couldn't. I saw Jiang Xianxian."
Liu Yunfu turned over a page of the account book, and slapped a few beads before saying, "It's not too late to see you again when we come to Kang'an to ask for marriage for Juntang in two years."
Mrs. Liu worried, "Jiang Xianxian will definitely be promoted when he returns from Suzhou. At that time, our Juntang may not be able to win the eyes of others."
Liu Yunfu put down the account book and said with a smile, "We will discuss the matter in two years' time. If this marriage doesn't work out, let's find another home."
"Having said that, I'll be afraid of Juntang him..."
"He's no longer a child, and he has his own way of doing things." Liu Yunfu picked up the book that his wife bought and read it, and asked, "Xishi has released news that a landscape painting of Mr. Lin Yuan will be sold, and the wife is interested. ?"
Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up, "Authentic?"
"Authentic."
"Have!"
Liu Yunfu nodded, "Okay, I ordered someone to take it back for my husband."
Jiang Liu returned to Fuzhong, and Yanping sent the latest news, "Girl, the Shengxing pawnshop in the West City has released news that a painting by Mr. Lin Yuan will be sold at Shenshi today, and the one with the highest price will get it."
Lin Yuan was a famous scholar of the previous dynasty, and he was excellent in both calligraphy and painting. His paintings are very collectible and very suitable to buy back for his sister as a dowry. Jiang Liu instructed, "Let Jiang Ming go over and take a look, and buy it as long as it does not exceed one thousand taels."
Jiang Liu woke up from a nap and was listening to his sister playing the piano with his younger brother in the pavilion when Jiang Bai sent back the news: Mr. Lin Yuan's painting was bought for three thousand taels.
Jiang Liu twitched the corners of his mouth, "Who is so generous?"
Lin Yuan's words are worth more than a thousand taels. Which family is stupid and has a lot of money, and actually paid three thousand taels?
Jiang Bai said in a low voice, "Although the person who bought it has changed his clothes, Xiao Gu seems to be the steward of the Liu family in Sanduo Lane."
Jiang Liu... Well, she took back what she said just now: Liu's family is not stupid, but they have a lot of money.
Jiang Baibao just went out after finishing his work, and ran back and whispered, "There is news from Yongningfang."
Yi Jianghou's house and Liu Xi's house are both in Yongningfang. Jiang Liu asked the fifth sister to be optimistic about the two younger brothers, and got up and went to the study room of Ren's house. Yanping, who was waiting in the study, replied, "An hour ago, the maid of Liu's house went to Xuexia to buy three boxes of moon lin incense in the evening. The old woman next to Liu Xi, surnamed Meng, met with the steward of the Liu family's rice grain shop in Dongshi. Then, the steward sent the clerks from the shop to Shanqianzhuang."
Xuexia evening's Yuelinxiang is a box of 2 taels of silver, which is definitely not something that a maid can afford, it must be used by the master of the Liu family. Madam Meng beside Liu Xi was originally Liu Cheng's person, so it was normal for her to send someone to deliver letters to Liu Cheng. Jiang Liu nodded, "Continue to stare."
When he passed by his sister in the garden pavilion of Jiangfu, Jiang Liu suddenly stopped. The balsam that sister is using now is very similar to Yuelinxiang, Liu Xi asked people to buy Yuelinxiang, could it be...
Jiang Muyan stopped, "Liu'er, it's your turn."
"Okay." Jiang Liu returned to his senses, sitting behind the guzheng, rolling up his sleeves and raising his hands, a soothing rhythm "Xijiang Moon" flowed out, and Yazheng and Yue Jinyi, who were supported by the maid, walked into the garden and listened quietly.
Jiang Liu finished playing the song, Jiang Mujin, Jiang Xiaoshu and Xiaoyueer slapped their hands, Jiang Muyan nodded slightly, got up and went to her sister, "The connection between the flower finger of the right big finger and the **** should be tighter, this way."
Jiang Muyan raised her right hand and showed her sister how to connect the scratching and portamento of "Xijiangyue" more smoothly. As soon as the expert makes a move, he will know if there is any. Yue Jinyi smiled and said, "Sure enough, a famous teacher has produced a master apprentice. Yan'er's piano skills are undoubtedly first-class in Kang'an."
Ya Zheng's fetus turned over. She waited for the child to calm down before saying, "Yan'er and Zheng'er are the best among these children."
Speaking of playing the qin, Yue Jinyi thought of something, "Second aunt heard about the Douyue party by the Fangsheng Lake in West City on the night of June 15th?"
Ya is nodding, "If the day is good, let Dalang take Yan'er and the others to have a look."
Yue Jinyi, who couldn't go out with a big belly, said expectantly, "When Yaner comes back, we will have a new song to listen to."
The capital city of Dazhou is Kang'an, where talents from all over the world gather. At different times of the year, competitions for tea, wine, poetry, and music will be held in the city. It is very lively, and the winner can become famous. When Jiang Muyan learned that her mother allowed them to go to the Dou Le party, she was so overjoyed that her little mouths could not close, she counted the days with her fingers, and picked clothes for herself and her sister.
On the evening of June 15th, Jiang Dalang went out with his three younger sisters and his third and fourth younger brothers. Jiang Saburo and Jiang Shilang are not interested in Dou Le, but are interested in going out to join in the fun. The young Jiang Xiaoshu and Xiao Yueer were coaxed by their elder brother with a few toys, and happily stayed in the mansion waiting for the return of their elder brothers and sisters.
In June, the daytime heat is unbearably hot, and it’s a good time to go out when it’s cool in the evening. Jiang Liu and his two sisters were sitting in the carriage, listening to the sound of cicadas, watching the lively streets, and eating delicious snacks. Don't be too happy.
Today's Dou Le party was held on the bamboo platform built by the Fangsheng Lake. The Jiang family brothers and sisters entered the private room facing the bamboo platform in the teahouse by the lake, and opened the window to watch the lively scene.
Shu Qiu invited Jiang Liu to the screen and whispered, "Girl, Liu Xi is on the same floor as us, Liu Juntang is upstairs, Kang Yueliang, Bai Cheng, Chai Lindi and others are on the fourth floor. And... Qin Chengbi is out of the house."
Those who should have come, and those who shouldn't have come, Jiang Liu clenched his fist and turned his wrist. Shu Qiu immediately said, "The slave maid sent someone back to the manor to get the girl's stick?"
Ginger stay…
"No, let's listen to the song tonight, and don't beat anyone. Send someone to stare at Liu Xi and Qin Chengbi, and Liu Juntang's side...don't pay attention."
Standing by the window on the second floor, watching the Jiang family enter the teahouse, Liu Xi closed the window and quietly stared at the smoke rising from the incense burner on the table.
There was a rapid sound of pipa by the Fangsheng Lake, and the noisy street gradually quieted down. Liu Xi opened the window and stared at the gradually darkening sky and the slowly rising full moon in the east.
The door of the private room was gently pushed open, and Mrs. Meng walked in with a small bag. Unfolding the burden, seeing the azurite dress inside, Liu Xi pursed his lips in disgust, and ordered, "Change clothes for me."
"Yes." Mrs. Meng retreated to guard outside the screen, and the little maid Jiaolan stepped forward to change Liu Xi's clothes, loosened her bun, combed it into a vertical bun, and put two small pink-blue buns together. The silk flowers are inserted between the buns.
This dress just makes Liu Xi, who likes to dress up like a white lotus, dye it a little fresh.
The repertoire and musical instruments were changed a few times, and the musicians downstairs played "Autumn Thoughts on the Dressing Table" with a flute. Everyone was infected by the sad thoughts in Xiao's voice. There was no life, only the breeze blowing the weeping willows.
Qin Chengbi, who rode here on horseback, frowned irritably, while Liu Juntang in the private room on the third floor sat by the window, staring at the moon in the water.
On the second floor, Jiang Muyan whispered to her sister, "I'll come when I go."
