Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

As the setting sun shines, the clouds in the sky are red, the blue bricks and black tiles cover half of the afterglow, and the shadows of houses, courtyard walls, flowers, plants and trees are stretched longer and longer.

From the flowers, trees and grass on both sides of the verandah came the "creaking" cry of the weaving lady, and the cicada, which was the loudest during the day, was compared to this sound.

"How are you going to do it?"

"Since he is my younger brother, I will naturally not be ambiguous. I plan to ask the official matchmaker to be a matchmaker for him. I will personally draft posts for him, agree on ceremonies, and choose auspicious days. I will take care of these carefully, and I will not lose Zhang the face of home."

Liu did not reply to his proposal, but said: "She is still waiting in the hall, if you have anything to say to her, go ahead and talk to her."

Zhang Yan opened his mouth, and could only say: "Okay, mother, please go back to the house and rest."

Zhang Yan turned and left, Liu looked at his back for a long time, and then asked the maidservant beside him who had been serving for many years: "Back then, I asked you to give Brother Lu a soft bag, did you hand it to her?"

The maid met her questioning gaze and hurriedly said: "When the maid went to look for Mr. Erlang, Mr. Erlang had already left the mansion, so Mr. Lang said that he would hand it over to Mr. Erlang himself."

Liu frowned: "Why didn't you tell me then?"

"My servant, my servant thinks..." The maid recalled that Zhang Yan threatened her not to tell Mrs. Liu, and she panicked for a while.

Mrs. Liu shook her head: "Time has passed, so it's useless to talk about it, that's all!"

Letting Zhang He and Zhang Yan reminisce about the old days, she was naturally not happy.However, getting along with him is more comfortable than getting along with Liu's. First, they are of the same generation, and second, she doesn't think that her background will make Zhang Yan feel uncomfortable. Embarrassment, a big reason is because of his identity.

She has always looked at the identities of Zhang Tingyu, Liu Shi, Liu Shi, and Zhang He from the perspective of a modern person.After all, from her point of view, she couldn't accept the existence of a concubine, and when she became this "concubine", she naturally cared about her own position when getting along with Liu Shi.

This kind of feeling didn't feel much to her when she was far away from the circle of the Zhang family, but when she got close to the Liu family, this kind of thought came out to cause trouble.

"Are you going to marry a wife?" Zhang Yan looked at Zhang He indifferently.

"Hmm." Zhang He was not at all surprised that he had one face in front of Liu Shi and another face in front of himself.

"Is this the attitude you should have towards your brother's brother?" Zhang Yan asked.

Zhang He sighed secretly, she was extremely tired of such a situation, and felt that she was going to take off a layer of skin even to deal with it.Besides, Yanxiu's identity shows a sense of superiority, even if he argues with it, the "reason" will not be on his side.

"If elder brother doesn't welcome me, just say yes, and I'll leave now."

Zhang Yan sneered: "Mother told you to stay. Once she leaves, you will leave too. Does she want to blame me?"

Zhang Yan spoke coldly, but Zhang He discovered one of his advantages - filial piety.

At least he is willing to act as a brother and sister in front of Liu Shi without his brothers and sisters competing for interests, which shows that he will take into account Liu Shi's thoughts and is also filial.

Seeing this, Zhang He no longer fought with him, but spoke a few words to him calmly.

On the contrary, Zhang Yan found that Zhang He was becoming more and more invulnerable, no matter how cold and ruthless he was, he would not be able to hurt her in the slightest.It wasn't until his wife Xiaoliu sent someone to ask if he wanted to have dinner together that he said: "Second brother is here, I will accompany him to eat."

Xiao Liu is the daughter of Liu's cousin, and Zhang Yan's family background can be regarded as the same family.However, Zhang He had seen her before, and she was on the short side. Compared with Liu's calmness and introversion, she liked luxurious attire, and her words and deeds were more exaggerated.

Zhang He was surprised and said: "Brother, you don't have to be so wronged to accompany me to eat."

"You don't need to distinguish seniority or inferiority, but I can't. Letting you dine alone is not the way of hospitality."

Zhang He shook his head, unable to figure out why Zhang Yan wanted to "wrong" himself so much.She would rather he not wronged herself, otherwise he would not like her, and if she did not enjoy the meal, she would not enjoy it either.

The servants brought five dishes, including steamed lamb, haggis, sea bass, soup with a variety of flavors, and fried lotus root, as well as a pot of Yangzhou Gaoyou wine, Zhang Yan’s favorite drink.

"It's too extravagant for two people to eat five dishes." Zhang He thought.

Zhang Yan poured a glass of wine on his own, and then glanced at Zhang He: "Second brother is not good at drinking, so I won't share this wine with you."

"Brother, drink it yourself." Zhang He didn't care.

Zhang Yan ate a mouthful of food and then drank a mouthful of wine, but what he ate most was steamed lamb and haggis. Although mutton is the most delicious to eat in winter, it can be paired with fine wine at this time, making him say: "Exciting. "

During the dinner, Zhang Yan offered to arrange the marriage for her, but Zhang He only thought that he was drunk, and replied, "Don't worry about it, brother, I can handle it myself."

After dinner, Zhang He returned to the house where she used to live.Although she lived there before, it was also the original Zhang He, and now she has no memory at all.

The house faces east and west, and the layout of the house is the same as the room in Zhang's house in Qinghe Village, but the furnishings inside are very simple, without the four treasures of the study, and only a few calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall.Among them are famous calligraphy copies of Liu Gongquan's calligraphy, and "Qingluan Xiaosi Tu" by Li Cheng and Li Xianxi, but Zhang He can't tell whether it is authentic.

According to the servant who showed her the way, these calligraphy and paintings were all bought by Zhang He. Zhang Yan originally wanted to throw them away, but later thought it would be better to keep a few calligraphy and paintings in the guest room for the guests to enjoy, so he kept them.

Zhang He was lying on the bed with no sense of belonging in her heart. She just wanted to propose marriage to Xia Jiniang earlier and return to Qinghe Village earlier.

Thinking of Xia Jiniang agreeing to her proposed marriage, her heartbeat started to speed up, and her blood started to boil.Thinking about marrying Xia Jiniang, she would be able to call her by her boudoir name and nickname in a fair manner, and she wouldn't worry that they would cause unnecessary criticism when they were alone, and she could justifiably hold her hand!

The beautiful imagination made Zhang He roll over in his arms on the hard pillow.Suddenly, she sat up from the bed, feeling a little worried: What if the matchmaker Huang Yu invited arrives at Xia's house first?

The palm of her hand suddenly touched the sachet tied around her waist, and she was a little relieved. Since Xia Jiniang also knew about Huang Yu's behavior, she should find a way to refuse this marriage as a smart person.

The next day, the Liu family sent the insider who was in charge of household chores to the official media office to invite an official matchmaker.Even though Zhang Tingyu has passed away, and he has no descendants of officials in his lineage, the Zhang family is a family of high-ranking officials, and there is also Zhang Tingxuan who is an official in Beijing. The official matchmaker dare not neglect at all. coming.

Hearing that Zhang He was going to be a matchmaker, the official matchmaker immediately recommended several girls from first-class households, but when Zhang He mentioned that they were from third-class households, she looked at Mrs. Liu with a little surprise, and wondered if it was Liu's family. Is Shi really so cruel to let Zhang He marry a family so far apart?

However, since the Liu family also agreed, she naturally would not refuse. After asking about Xia Jiniang's family background, she took money from the Zhang family and the draft post drafted by the Liu family. Zhang He, it is her business to implement this marriage.

When she came to Xia's house, Xia's house was preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival.The last time Xia Da went to the city, he bought a lot of things for the Dragon Boat Festival, including mugwort, pu leaves, five-color paper money, and herbs that Xia Luoguan and Xia Luoyu went to the mountains to pick.

Except for the laborers who have to go to the fields to work, the rest of the people are involved in the ranks of pharmaceuticals to eliminate poisonous insects or make zongzi.Xia Su Niang, who was rarely allowed to rest for two days, is preparing to participate in the "Fighting Herbs" competition.

The so-called "Doubaicao" is to tie the collected flowers and plants into knots. After the two sides exchange each other, whoever breaks the flowers and plants first loses, and replaces the other person until the different types of flowers and plants collected by oneself are used up.In fact, whoever collects the most types of flowers and plants has the possibility of winning.

Xia Su Niang originally wanted Xia Jiniang to accompany her, but Xia Jiniang had to weave herb ropes and couldn't spare time, so she took Xia Ya and Xia in to collect flowers and plants.

Old man Xia was also sitting at the door and tied the tiger's head with grass. This work is very delicate, and the younger generation has never learned it, so he has to do it himself.Just as he was pulling the grass, he saw a figure from far and near, wearing a veiled hat and a purple suit.

"Is this the Xia family?" The official matchmaker asked, taking off his hat.

"This is the Xia family, but there are many Xia families in the village, which one are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for the Xia's family that has Xia Ji Niang's wife." The official matchmaker said with a smile.

Old man Xia put down the tiger head in his hand, and said: "That is the Xia family here, I don't know..."

"I am a media officer from Fuzhou, my surname is Zhu."

Old man Xia was surprised, thinking that Xia Hui was really not joking, he found a matchmaker so quickly to propose marriage, and he even invited an official matchmaker!With a slight movement in his heart, he quickly got up and invited him into the house.

Xia Jiniang also heard the movement, her heart beat a lot faster, and she thought: "She really has someone here!"

"Hey, those are matchmakers. They can't be hired by non-rich families!" Second Aunt Xia said in surprise.

"I didn't expect the Huang family to be so capable that they could hire an official matchmaker!" Aunt Xia also said.

Old Man Xia walked to the door and ordered: "Let Ah Tao come back, and serve tea soon!"

At this time, another woman wearing a crown, a scarlet dress, and a cool umbrella around her waist appeared at the gate of the courtyard. She asked Xia Jiniang, "My lady, is this the home of old man Xia Shou?" ?”

Old man Xia turned around when he heard the movement, he thought to himself who knew his name and came here?

Xia Jiniang nodded: "This is Xia's family, I wonder why my aunt is looking for Ah Weng?"

The woman was overjoyed immediately: "The lady is Ji Niang, right? I'm here to propose marriage to you!"

Old Man Xia's eyebrows trembled: Why did two matchmakers come to propose marriage?

The official matchmaker sitting in the room frowned: Could it be that the Zhang family invited someone else to be a matchmaker?

Xia Jiniang understood what was going on, she guessed that the official matchmaker should be invited by Zhang He, but the matchmaker in front of her was invited by the Huang family, after all Zhang He didn't know the name of Old Man Xia, only as Only Xia Hui, Xia's younger sister, knew this.

The author has something to say: I feel that the friends are very smart. In fact, as long as you are careful, you can find that Liu Shi used "she" when calling Lv Geer and "he" when addressing Zhang Tingguan, and you will understand.

The reason why sometimes "she" and sometimes "he" appears is not a typo, but a small detail.
