Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Li Wan said, "Call her in."

Not long after, Dong Cheng's family came in, greeted Li Wan first, and Fang replied: "Doctor Wang and Doctor Sun called me back to grandma, saying that my brother is safe and well, and the two of them are idle here for nothing. Grandma spends so much money on food and drink, I feel really ashamed, anyway, it’s still early, so we’re planning to return to Beijing tomorrow, we don’t dare to make decisions, so we’re here to ask grandma for instructions.”

It turned out that everyone rested for two days. The two doctors, Wang and Sun, saw that Jia Lan was fine, and they were useless here. They were wasting time. After thinking about it, it would be better to go back to Beijing as soon as possible, so that they could reunite with their families for the New Year.

Li Wan was startled when he heard this, and said: "The two doctors traveled with us day and night, why did you rush back after only two days of rest? It's too hard, why don't you rest for a few more days?"

Dong Cheng's family laughed and said: "Why didn't I say that, but the two doctors said that it is already the middle of November, and it is almost the end of the year. If you rest for a few more days, you will not be able to go back for the New Year."

Hearing this, Li Wan knew that the two were eager to go back to reunite with their families, and it was hard to keep them. After thinking about it, he said to Dong Cheng's family: "Since the two doctors want to go back to Beijing, I can't force them to stay. You can send someone to make arrangements later. Just ship."

Dong Cheng's family agreed, and Li Wan turned around and told Dan Ju, "Go and weigh 40 taels of silver, and then bring it to Dong Cheng's family and take it to the two doctors."

Dan Ju agreed, and went back to her room as she said, and took two letters of silver and handed them over to Dong Cheng's family.

Dong Cheng's family took the money and put it away, saying: "Grandma, what else can I tell you?"

Li Wan thought for a while and said: "It's nothing. You just thank the two doctors for me, and you said that you have troubled them to run this trip, and they are really tired. The few taels of money are just a gift of thanks. Please the two doctors." Don't be disgusted, take it back home and buy two winter clothes for the children at the end of the year."

Dong Cheng's family agreed, and just wanted to go out. Li Wan suddenly remembered something, stopped her, and said: "There is one thing that I almost forgot. Lan'er told me yesterday that she is going to end next year, and I don't know how soon she will be able to go back." , I will write a letter in a while, and you take it back to the old lady and the wife."

Dong Cheng's family was taken aback when they heard the words, and made calculations in their hearts. Jia Lan will only be ten years old next year, so he couldn't help but say, "My brother is not ten years old yet? Is this the end?"

Although she doesn't know much about these things, she also knows that some people may not be able to be admitted as a scholar even if they have a gray beard.

Li Wan listened and said with a smile: "What's the matter? In ancient times, there were twelve phases of Ganluo, and ten years old is not too young. This kid is determined to go, and I can't stop him. I have to let him go, anyway. Don’t expect him to come back as a scholar, it’s good to go to experience one or two.”

In fact, according to Li Wan's intention, he didn't want Jia Lan to end so early. He originally planned to wait a few years before asking him to try again, but Jia Lan had other ideas. Although those people didn't dare to gossip in front of Mrs. Wang and Jiamu because of the behavior of exalting the high and stepping down the low, but there was a lot of discussion behind their backs, saying that the lives of their mother and son were hard, one Kefu and the other Kefu. The person who was born on Ghost Festival is even more unknown, and it is a fate that will involve the six relatives.

Because of these words, Jia Lan held his breath all the time, thinking that he would come back from the exam earlier, and fight for his mother and grandmother.

Shen Yi didn't object to this, he didn't like being an official, it was just because he was lazy by nature and didn't like the bondage of officialdom, Jia Lan was different from him, most of the time he would go on an official career in the future, so it's okay to get out of the field earlier to practice.

What's more, although Jia Lan is young, there are still candidates who are younger than him. It is not uncommon for eight or nine-year-old students. He has made great progress in the academy in the past two years, and he has seen a lot in the two years since he came out. The people’s lives are full of life, and with his teacher’s teachings, teachers Gu Yan and Lin Ruhai often point out that it’s not what it used to be, at least it’s no problem to pass the test as a child student. , Anyway, I am young, I have the right to experience, and it is good to accumulate some experience.

After Lin Ruhai found out, he also agreed very much. It has always been stipulated in scientific examinations that students must go back to their hometown to take the exam. Suzhou is very close to Jinling's hometown, so it is convenient to travel. Taking advantage of the past few years in the south of the Yangtze River, he passed the scholar examination earlier, and then he will enter the Imperial College as a tribute student, and he will be in the future. You can take the imperial examination directly in Beijing.

Even if Li Wan objected again, after hearing what Jia Lan said, he could only agree.

Xiuzhu Suyun and the others were ironing their clothes, and they all laughed when they heard this, "Grandma's words are too modest, our brother was born smart and clever, even Mr. Shen and Mrs. Lin praised him, This time there must be a scholar coming back."

The members of Dong Cheng's family also hurriedly laughed and said: "Miss, what you said is not bad. Who doesn't know that although our uncle Xiaolan is young, his knowledge is first-class, let alone a scholar, he will be named on the gold list in the future, when he was the number one scholar in high school. What's more, Grandma is just waiting to wear the Phoenix Coronet Xiapei."

Li Wan laughed and said, "Then I will lend you a good word."

After joking for a while, Li Wan finished writing the letter, sealed it and handed it to Dong Cheng

The family, after thinking about it, said: "I want to take care of it here, and I will go back after Lan'er finishes the exam. I will have the county exam in February next year, then the government exam in April, and the hospital exam in August. It will take a year to say the least here.

I have Danju Xiuzhu and the others serving on my side, as well as a few ladies in charge from Liu Youfu's family and Li Yi's family, and a dozen servants who were transferred from Cuiwei Villa earlier. Sister Lin sent a lot of girls and women over. , It’s quite annoying, since the two doctors are going back, why don’t you go and ask our family if the people who came here would like to go back together. "

The members of Dong Cheng's family were startled when they heard this, and hesitantly said: "Grandma wants to stay and take care of my brother, so the servant has nothing to say, it's just the old lady and the wife..."

Hearing this, Li Wan glanced at her, knowing that she was worried that she would not be able to pay the job back, so she smiled slightly: "Don't worry about this, I have already clarified this matter in the letter, the old lady and the wife will definitely not blame you."

Dong Cheng's family blushed when they heard this, and said with a sneer, "I'm the one who got confused, grandma, don't take offense."

Dan Ju glanced at her, and said with a smile: "It's getting late now, sister-in-law Dong, hurry up and ask those mothers and sister-in-laws, if you want to go back, you have to hurry to pack your luggage, otherwise tomorrow will be too late."

Dong Cheng's family recovered after hearing the words, and hurriedly agreed to go out.

The family and daughters-in-law of the Jia family who came with them were quite moved when they heard that they could go back. Before they came, they thought they would be able to go back after the next year, but they would have to stay for a year.

It is a rare event for a noble concubine to visit relatives after the new year. I don't know how many good errands there are, and I don't know how much money will be saved by staying here with Li Wan. Besides, everyone's family is in Beijing. Now that Li Wan has spoken, everyone discusses it. Dao would like to go back.

Dong Cheng's family thought about it and decided to go back together, so everyone rushed to pack their luggage and ship, and set off for Beijing early the next morning.

As soon as everyone in the Rong Mansion left, Li Wan felt a lot more relaxed. Although the members of Dong Cheng's family were loyal and capable, they belonged to Mrs. Wang, and she always had to be cautious when she was by her side. I am much more at ease.

After everyone in this room finished their breakfast, Li Wan said to Dan Ju: "I asked you to inquire about the silk shop yesterday, how is it going? Do you understand?"

Danju smiled and said: "I have made it clear. Zijuan said that there are more than a dozen silk and satin shops on Jinxiu Street in the east, and one of them is Wuji Zhenbao Pavilion, which not only sells good silk and satin, but also sells all kinds of jewelry. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the jewelry patterns are very delicate, I think

We came out in a hurry this time, and grandma didn't bring much jewelry. Do you want to order a few? "

Li Wan listened, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It's almost the end of the new year, so it's time to make a few things, and I have to make some of the things Lan'er wears."

She didn't bring much head jewelry this time, but other gold and silver were quite soft, and she also brought a box of various gemstones and pearls.

For the occasional need.

While talking, he suddenly heard a message from a girl outside: "Miss Lin is here."

Li Wan hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly."

The little girl opened the curtain, and saw Daiyu come in with a smile, pointing to the boxes held in the hands of the girls and said with a smile: "I just sent a few large bags of Poria cocos cream and high-quality bird's nest, a lot of red oranges, yellow oranges I asked the maids to pack up some dried fruit, and my sister-in-law also tasted it."

Li Wan knew Daiyu's temperament, so he was not too polite, thanked her with a smile and ordered Suyun to accept it.

Daiyu was really happy.

Li Wan saw that she was wearing a silver-red embroidered chrysanthemum-trimmed long jacket with a scarlet dress underneath, and a red gold lace hairpin in the middle of her hair. Duobao is dotted with emerald flowers, and the hair is dotted with delicate plum blossoms and piles of gauze. She is very delicately dressed, and she can't help laughing: "Sister, is this going out?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "Today, Mrs. Gu hosted a banquet to appreciate the plum blossoms. My godmother asked me to go to the banquet with her."

Li Wan laughed and said, "Now the plum blossoms are in full bloom. It's rare that the weather is good today. It's time to go out for a stroll."

The godmother Daiyu mentioned was Yan Hui. Daiyu returned to Gusu two years ago, and Yan Hui took her two sons and daughters with her husband to take up the post. The two families often visit each other.

Yan Hui loved Daiyu's character very much. Before that, it was only because Lin Ruhai served as the censor of the salt inspection and was in charge of the salt administration. As the seventh prince and the Yue family, the Jiang family had to avoid suspicion, so they did not have close friends. Now that Lin Ruhai has resigned from his post, the seventh prince has ascended the throne again. Naturally no problem.

Daiyu is also a good friend of her daughter Yingxue's boudoir, Yan Hui saw her mother died young and there was no female elder to teach her at home, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her, so she took extra care of her.

Daiyu was originally on good terms with Jiang Yingxue, and was taken care of by Yan Hui many times, she was grateful, and later recognized Yan Hui as her adoptive mother.

The Lin family is not prosperous, and Lin Ruhai is also happy that her daughter will have a relative to help her in the future, so she is happy to hear about it.

Therefore, in the spring of last year, the two families set up wine, sang operas, and entertained guests. Daiyu also became the young lady of the Jiang family, and the two families became more and more intimate.

Yan Hui treated this goddaughter very well, not only taught her to be a housekeeper, but also often took her out to socialize,

Knowing the daughters of the wives of various families, and often taking Daiyu to live there for a short stay, the food and clothing are very meticulous, just like their own daughters.

Li Wan was also happy for Daiyu, now Sister Lin is lively and lovely, no longer the melancholy and sickly appearance in the book.

After hearing this, Daiyu smiled and said: "I just heard my sister-in-law asking Sister Danju to make jewelry outside. According to me, sister-in-law might as well go out for a walk. That Wuji Zhenbao Pavilion is an old shop that has been around for decades. Yes, it is a very quiet place. It was originally designed for the female relatives. The shopkeeper and the assistants are all women. The shopkeeper, Mrs. Lin, is an excellent embroiderer. , you can also relieve boredom by the way, and only greet the female relatives, there are no outside men, there is no hindrance."

She has known Li Wan for a long time, and they have a close relationship. She vaguely sensed that this elder sister-in-law is not as docile and chaste as she used to look like in the past. , had to live such a dreary life.

Li Wan was very moved when he heard this, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "How far is that shop?"

Previously, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at Jia's mansion, and she had to be cautious in her words and deeds. It was a bit depressing. Now that everyone in Jia's family has gone back, all those who stay with her are her confidantes, so there is no need to worry that someone will report to the king in the future. Madam is gossip, as long as everything is not out of line, why worry so much.

Zijuan Xueyan and the others also laughed and said, "Jinxiu Street is only two streets away from our house, but it's enough time for a cup of tea."

Daiyu also said with a smile: "There are not only silk and satin shops over there, but also many interesting places. There is a Wuxiangzhai that makes dim sum. It makes exquisite plum blossom crisps, but it only sells one hundred copies a day. It's too late." I can’t even buy it, if I didn’t go out to dinner with my godmother today, I would go with my sister-in-law.”

Li Wan ordered Danju Xiuzhu to pack up, and said with a smile: "If my sister likes to eat, I'll bring some back later."

Daiyu was very happy, and said: "Then you will miss my sister-in-law."

After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Daiyu took the maids out to the banquet.

Not long after, a woman replied that the car and sedan chair were ready, and Danju and the others had also taken care of it. They brought 200 taels of silver and packed a box of jewels according to Li Wan's instructions.

Li Wan went back to his room to freshen up, changed his clothes, and took light chrysanthemum, embroidered bamboo, little girl Wutong, and some women, and went out in a car together.
