Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Ying Lian was drinking tea with her head bowed, when she heard this, she blushed with embarrassment.

Li Wan was both surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a marriage of thousands of miles. I never imagined that Fuling and Sister Yinglian would be married again."

Danju Xiuzhu and the others also congratulated Yinglian, and all laughed and said: "It's a coincidence that we came this time, just in time to ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Suyun also laughed and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhou is a scholar, and Miss Yinglian will definitely be Fengguanxiapei in the future, and she will be the imperial wife in the future."

Seeing them talking to each other, the more they talked, the more lively, Yinglian's face flushed with embarrassment, and she held her face with both hands.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Stop teasing her, you'll be too ashamed to look up."

Li Wan also knew that Yinglian was thin-skinned, so he changed the topic and asked about the situation of the two mothers in the past few years.

It turned out that Zhou Gong's family lived next to Yinglian's family. Because Zhou Gong made a living by making medicinal materials, he spent more than half of the year outside. Only his old wife Sun and his son Zhou Gong were at home.

As the saying goes, 'A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor'. The two families often communicate with each other and get along very well. Mrs. Sun has a straightforward temperament, while Mrs. Feng is originally a gentle temperament, and after going through hardships, she has become more and more kind to others. After all, she was once the mistress of everyone, and she has her own rules in dealing with others. , so the two get along very well.

Yinglian was originally born well, knowledgeable about books and etiquette, gentle disposition, Mrs. Sun loves her character very much, and later probed into Mrs. Feng's tone, knowing that Yinglian never promised her, she had the intention of marrying her in her heart, but Zhou Gong had been traveling all the time, and it was not for Mrs. Sun to make decisions on her own. It wasn't until her husband came back this time that the husband and wife had a good discussion, so they specially invited the coal man to come to propose marriage.

Because Yinglian had been kidnapped and sold, the Feng family was also worried about their daughter's marriage. The Zhou family was wealthy and didn't mind that Yinglian was kidnapped and sold into slavery. They have been together for the past few years, and both of them know each other well. Eighteenth, her name is Zhou Xiu, and she is very handsome. Although she is a few years older than Yinglian, she is a man of duty and can read and write.

Moreover, the two families are neighbors, even if Yinglian leaves the court in the future, it will be the same as when she was in her mother's house. Yinglian has also met Zhou Xiu several times, and she is willing in her heart, so she settled on this marriage.

Only then did Li Wan understand why Dr. Zhou Gong worked so hard to diagnose and treat Jia Lan, and even took out the elixir that had been treasured for many years. It turned out that it was because of Yinglian. Letting Fuling go out to marry herself, she would not have anything to do with Zhou Gong's family; if she hadn't helped Yinglian get out of her family later, Yinglian

It will not be neighbors with the Zhou family.

It was the good fortune that Lan'er forged at the beginning, and this time Lan'er was blessed by him and turned into peace.

Li Wan was grateful and thanked Yinglian solemnly: "If my sister hadn't invited Mr. Zhou this time, Lan'er still doesn't know what would have happened."

Yinglian hurriedly said: "Grandma, please don't say that. Back then, grandma reunited our mother and daughter, helped me get out of citizenship, and sent our family back to my hometown. This is a great kindness. It is all because of grandma's compassion. It is only today that I should repay grandma."

Daiyu laughed and said, "If you keep thanking me like this, it will be dark in a while."

Li Wan and Ying Lian looked at each other when they heard the words, they couldn't help laughing, and the maids and women serving in the room couldn't help laughing either.

After talking and joking for a while, a girl came back and said that the table noodles have been cleaned up, please go to have lunch.

After lunch, the three of them went to Li Wan's courtyard to chat.

Li Wan ordered the maids to cook exquisite new tea and put delicate tea fruits on display. Daiyu also ordered Zijuan to bring poetry collections by Li Qinglian, Du Gongbu and others to Yinglian. I'll give it to you, so you don't have to run back and forth to get cold."

Yinglian was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked her with her collection of poems.

Daiyu told her again who wrote the best poems, who wrote the best words, how to write poems and so on.

Li Wan was listening, and couldn't help thinking that the master-student relationship between the two could not be avoided. Even after Yinglian left Jia's mansion, it still happened that Yinglian studied poetry with Daiyu.

Seeing that Yinglian was listening to Daiyu's poems wholeheartedly, her heart moved, she went to the outside and beckoned Xiuzhu over, and whispered: "Go and arrange the thank you gift for Miss Yinglian, make sure it is thicker by three points, Ling Luo Choose some bright and unique silk and jewelry, and add a copy of the Four Treasures of the Study and a new book."

After hearing this, Xiuzhu understood, took Suyun to the ear room and opened the cage, guessing what Li Wan meant, and picked out a pink satin with landscape pattern and dark flowers, a big red satin with butterfly and flower pattern, and a fragrant-colored satin. There is a gold satin woven with the pattern of happy encounters in the ground eight groups, a piece of silver and red dark flower embroidery Sihe Ruyi Shu brocade, a piece of emerald green rich and noble Changchun palace silk, and a piece of orange red peony palace satin.

Then I took a set of golden silk inlaid with rubies, a pair of gold bracelets with twin dragons playing with pearls, four gold and jade rings, a pair of red gold silk dotted emerald head flowers, and then picked out a new book, A box of Hui ink, a clear clay inkstone, twenty-knife rice paper, and a set of enamel Zihaohu brushes are all first-class things.

The two packed up properly, and Xiu Zhu copied the gift list, handed it to Li Wan for review, and said: "Everyone

Cooked according to grandma's orders. "

Li Wan looked it over, nodded, and said: "You go and ask some women to load the things into the car, and the gift list will be handed over to Miss Yinglian when she goes to her home."

Embroidered bamboo knows it, so I don't mention it when I go to cook.

Yinglian and Daiyu talked about poetry for a while, then said goodbye and went back.

Daiyu played chess with Li Wan once, and wentssip again, then went back to her room to rest.

The days of winter were short, so Li Wan didn't take a nap, but took the maids to prepare gifts for other families.

Every house has its own rules for giving gifts, but they are antique decorations, silk and satin, snacks, etc. Li Wan looked at the gift list once, called Xiuzhu over, and asked, "How much material do we have left?"

Xiuzhu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "This time we came here in a hurry, we didn't bring much, I remember that there were one piece of each kind of satin gauze used in the military, and there were fifteen pieces in total. Official use There are also fifteen horses, a total of thirty horses, and thirty or so rulers of various colors as a gift."

After hearing this, Li Wan asked, "Is this gift enough?"

After Xiuzhu heard the words, he made some calculations in his heart and said: "I sent ten horses to my aunt yesterday, and there were originally twenty horses left, but Miss Lin also returned the gift afterwards. How much less, but today I gave Miss Yinglian six horses, and now there are about twenty more horses, anyway, if we give it away, the other family will return gifts, and it will be enough to count."

Before Li Wan could speak, Danju was taking Wutong and other little girls out of the box to search for a few decorations on the gift list. After hearing this, she said: "Where is enough, there are Mr. Gu's house, Jiang Zhifu's house, and Mr. Shen's house." , and Dr. Zhou’s family did not deliver it.”

Suyun also nodded and said: "It's almost the end of the year, and we have to give New Year's gifts again, and the winter clothes of grandma and brother have to be cut, and the clothes of the people below need to buy more thick satin and For cotton cloth, thirty or forty bolts are not enough.”

Li Wan was silent after hearing this, and today she asked Yinglian specifically about the temperament and preferences of the lady of the Zhou family, and she heard that she has a brisk temper and loves bright colors, so she had a rough idea of ​​what she brought to Jiangnan this time Silk and satin were originally intended to be used as gifts when exchanging favors, but these materials are either for public use or official use, which is too eye-catching.

Zhou's family is a common people's family, according to Mrs. Zhou's disposition, the gifts she gives should be both decent and practical. As long as the fabric is the only thing that needs to be carefully considered, most of the materials in her hands are not suitable for Mrs. Zhou.

Danju thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "I have an idea, the old grandma called Yangzhou that

At the same time, I made several new patterns of dyeing methods. Didn’t I honor my grandma at the beginning of the year? I saw that the patterns we wove were very bright and colorful, and they were no worse than those used by officials. At that time, grandma was helping The second grandma was busy with visiting relatives in the house, so she didn't look at it carefully, so she asked me to put it away. "

Li Wan also thought about it after hearing this, and handed it over to Danju to put it away, and only told the steward that in the future, all the silk on the village would be woven into silk and satin, which would be sold in the shop. When something happened to Jalan, he forgot about it.

Xiuzhu smiled and said: "Since that's the case, why don't you ask the steward of the village over there to send some bolts of satin, it's decent and easy."

Li Wan shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It will take several days to go here and back to Yangzhou, how can there be time?"

Everyone lost their minds for a while, Suyun originally wanted to ask Daiyu to ask for it, but thinking of her grandmother's temper, she swallowed the words again.

Wu Tong looked at everyone thinking hard, and couldn't help saying: "There are a lot of satin in the silk shop outside, why don't you go there and have a look."

Xiuzhu laughed immediately after hearing this, and said: "You are also confused, grandma's materials are all high-quality, either for government use or for official use, it doesn't matter if we use the things in the silk and satin shop, how can we take them away?" gift."

Danju and the others couldn't stop laughing.

Hearing this, Li Wan's heart was moved, and he suddenly remembered some things that Baochai had said before, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case, ordinary silk and satin shops can't afford materials for high-end and official use. However, some shops may not.”

There are several weaving bureaus in the south of the Yangtze River, and they produce countless materials every year. They just pick up some good ones, and sell the rest under the name of flaws, as private income.

This is not a secret thing, the emperor also knows, but he just turned a blind eye.

After listening to Li Wan explain the reason, Xiuzhu said: "According to grandma, such good materials are not available in ordinary shops. Where can we find them?"

Li Wan said with a smile, "What's the difficulty? I'll ask Sister Lin to ask the two wives and you'll know." After that, she called Dan Ju over and said, "You clean it up tomorrow morning and bring a few taels with you." For silver, ask some women to go to the silk shop with you, and buy some good materials if you have any."

Danju's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she agreed with a busy smile.

Xiuzhu Suyun and others have been locked in the back house all year round and rarely go out. Now that Danju can go out, they are very envious for a while.

Seeing this, Li Wan smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's important to do business now. I heard that Hanshan Temple in Suzhou

, Panxiang Temple and other temples have excellent views. I will take you to visit after a few days. "

Anyway, now that Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang are not here, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so there is no need to stick to some rules.

Xiuzhu and the others were very happy when they heard the words, and just about to speak, a little girl suddenly called back: "Mama Dong has something to go back to grandma."
