Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Shen Yi only saw a hazy figure behind the screen window, but he couldn't see the real one, so he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, but it looked like it was a female family member, so it was inconvenient for him to take a closer look, so he walked to Jia Lan's side, took another look at the car, and said : "We should go back, what are you doing standing here?"

Seeing this, Jia Lan hurriedly said, "Sir, there is my mother in the car, and I happened to meet her just now."

Only then did Shen Yi realize that Jia Lan's mother was sitting in the car, he couldn't help being startled, said 'I'm sorry', and immediately stepped back a few steps.

Li Wan came back to his senses, and felt that he had overreacted just now. The other party was Lan'er's teacher. Since he had already met, it would be impolite to keep silent. Across the window, he was surrounded by women and girls, saying two things. There is no hindrance to words, thinking of this, Li Wan cleared his throat, said hello through the curtain, and said: "Your son is naughty, I have troubled you these few years, sir."

Shen Yi only heard a clear and soft voice, he was slightly startled, and hurriedly returned the salute, saying: "Don't dare to take it seriously, Madam is too serious."

The two of them exchanged a few words of politeness. After all, men and women are different. Li Wan didn't want to say much, so he turned his head and told Jia Lan, "Remember to ask the boys to add clothes when it's cold, so that you can study with the master, and don't be naughty."

Jia Lan agreed, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mom, I will remember everything."

Li Wan smiled slightly, said goodbye to Shen Yi, and said to the old lady: "It's getting late, let's go back."

The mother-in-law agreed and asked the coachman to drive.

Shen Yi glanced at the car going away, and said to Jia Lan: "Since Lingtang is here, you can go live at home after school."

Jia Lan said with a smile: "Sir, don't you think that students are too noisy around you?"

Shen Yi was getting on his horse, nodded and smiled after hearing this, "It seems that you are very self-aware, you can be quiet for a while when you go home to be a teacher, so that you don't look like an old man at a young age."

This little apprentice is good at everything else, but he is too long-winded. He has nothing else to like in his life, but he likes what is in the cup. In his free time, he likes to drink two glasses by himself. Wine has to be nagged.

Jia Lan also got on the horse, took the reins from the servant, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and said with a smile: "I did it for the sake of my husband. The doctor said that my old injury is not healed, so I shouldn't drink too much. Besides, I have drunk too much." Not only will it damage the liver, but it is also prone to obesity and even hair loss."

Shen Yi's smile froze, he couldn't help but turned around and knocked on Jia Lan's forehead, and said with a smile, "Bastard, are you cursing your husband?"

Jalan hee hee one

Smiling, he said: "Mister is suave and suave, so I don't want to be bald in the future."

The little servants who followed beside him couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said: "Master, what brother said is very reasonable."

Jia Lan said: "This is what Doctor Zhang himself said. If you don't believe me, look at those alcoholics, who is not a big belly, bald and less hairy?"

Hearing that his words became more and more reasonable, Shen Yi was both angry and funny, waved his hands and said: "Come on, I'm afraid of you, you are so talkative at such a young age."

Seeing that the teacher was subdued, Jia Lan smiled and was very proud.

Li Wan and his party walked halfway, when they heard a loud commotion, Li Wan raised the curtain of the sedan chair and saw a group of people in front of a mansion on the opposite side, arguing endlessly. He said to the coachman, "Let's go to Chang'an Avenue, the road over there is quieter."

The coachman agreed, raised his whip and turned into a street on the other right.

Li Wan was about to put down the curtain, when he saw a small courtyard by the side of the road, the house was very exquisite and unique, but it was a little deserted and there was no plaque on the door, it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time, he couldn't help wondering: "Whose courtyard is this?"

In such a good location, the house should not worry about selling.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but in the end it was a car follower from the Lin family who laughed and said: "Grandma doesn't know, this was the house of a local gentry, and his son was elected as an official in the capital in August. When the whole family went to Beijing, they decided to sell the house.

It's just that this house only has two entrances in total, but the asking price is 3000 taels of silver, which ordinary people can't afford, but the wealthy people who can afford it think it's too small and not spacious, so it's inconvenient to keep it vacant. "

Li Wan's heart changed after hearing this, after living in Lin's house for the past few days, she had already planned to buy or rent a courtyard and move out.

After all, it's fine if it's just a short-term residence. However, this time she accompanied Lan'er in the imperial examination. After all the exams are over, it will be at least until June next year. It will take nearly a year, so living in this way is really inconvenient.

If Jia Min was still alive, it would be no problem for Li Wan to live in the Lin family, but now the Lin family does not have a mistress, she is a widow, and the Lin family does not have a mistress, although there is Daiyu, how inconvenient it is.

It would be more appropriate to rent a yard outside and live in a yard outside. There are only their mother and son, and there are no other males. There is no need to worry about avoiding suspicion and other things, and it is more comfortable.

Thinking of the house just now, Li Wan thought it better to just buy it, even if he returns to Beijing next year, he can rent it out, besides, there will be a place to stay if there are changes in Jia's mansion in the future.

It's just that they don't care about Gusu's place of life.

For those who are not familiar, Lin Ruhai needs to help in buying the house.

Thinking of this, Li Wan made up his mind and decided to send someone to inquire about the house first, and then raise the matter with Daiyu after a few days.

Back in the mansion, Li Wan took the maids to arrange the thank you gifts for the Jiang, Gu and Shen families. Dan Ju looked at the gift list with Li Wan, and said, "Grandma sees this, is it appropriate?"

Li Wan looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "This is very appropriate, you ask someone to pack it up, and send it away in a while."

Danju agrees, even if she takes someone down to cook.

In the afternoon, the return gifts from each family also arrived. Yan Hui returned various gauze satin, exquisite antiques, nourishing medicinal materials, the four treasures of the study, various exquisite snacks, food and drinks, etc.

Gu's, Shen's and Feng's also returned with silk, satin, food, drinks and so on.

The gift from Dr. Zhou's family was somewhat unexpected to Li Wan. It was a catty of high-quality bird's nest, a piece of ginseng as thick as a thumb, a roll of fox fur, and a roll of mink fur. I got it when I collected medicines and sold medicines outside; there are also many cured chickens, cured meats, hams, various pickles, dried vegetables, and various homemade tea and fruit snacks. They are all very clean and packed in eight-treasure boxes.

Xiuzhu took Suyun and the others to pack up, saw the huge pile of ham and bacon, couldn't help laughing and said: "This week's lady is also interesting, she gave me so much bacon, when will I have to eat it?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "I like it very much. Mrs. Zhou is really an honest person, and the things she gave are also real."

Looking at the behavior of this lady of the Zhou family, one can tell that she is a straightforward person, and Yinglian will not be too sad in the future.

In the early morning of the next day, it suddenly started snowing. After breakfast in Jiangfu, Yan Hui was chatting with her daughter in the upper room, discussing to bring Daiyu and Li Wan to admire the plum blossoms.

Yan Hui is well aware of Li Wan's suffering, because of her status as a widow and grandmother, she was locked in the back house for many years when she was in Jia's house, and she was not even allowed to go out for a banquet.

She is not such a pedantic person, and she doesn't like those rules and dogmas in her heart. Anyway, now that she has left Jia's house, she should relax a little bit.

Jiang Yingxue smiled and said, "Mom and Auntie haven't seen each other for a long time, so it should be lively."

Yan Hui said with a smile: "At that time, there is no need to set up wine and sing operas in a big way, just ask the kitchen to clean up some exquisite food, and our family will have a lively meal."

In this way, even if outsiders know about it, they won't be able to find anything wrong.

Just as she was talking, she heard a message from a woman saying that the second girl had sent someone to deliver something. Yan Hui was overjoyed when she heard the news, and hurried to please.

Not long after, I saw Daiyu's body

Mother Meng from the side came in, holding a beauty shrugging vase with a branch of red plum blossom in it, invited Ann, and said, "This plum blossom only blooms today. This plum blossom is for our girls to honor their wives. It blooms later than in previous years." some."

Yan Hui ordered the girl to take the plum blossoms, looked at them carefully, nodded and said with a smile: "Although it is late, the flowers are big."

Jiang Yingxue smiled and said, "What are you girls doing at home?"

Mother Meng said: "I was painting at home, and the girl also said: 'The plum blossoms in the garden are all in bloom. Tomorrow is the winter solstice. The wife and the girl are happy. Please come to the house to enjoy the snow and see the plum blossoms.'"

Yan Hui said with a smile: "I was just saying that I would bring my cousin and your girls to enjoy the snow. If that's the case, we'll come tomorrow. Say hello to my cousin and your girls for me."

Mother Meng agreed, before turning around, Yan Hui said, "Wait a minute." Then she called the girl and said, "Go and take the bergamot, winter bamboo shoots, red oranges, etc. in two boxes to the girl."

The girl agreed, packed the box, and gave it to Nanny Meng to take it back.

Here Daiyu is also asking Li Wan to enjoy the snow together for the festival tomorrow, and said with a smile, "Take advantage of the snow to see the plum blossoms, otherwise it will be boring when it's sunny."

Li Wan said with a smile: "It's not busy at all. I'm afraid there will be more snow this winter."

Just as I was talking, I saw Mrs. Meng come in and replied: "Mrs. Jiang asked me to say hello to my cousin and the girl, and said that I can't come early tomorrow, and I will come after the offering."

Daiyu said: "Understood."

When Mrs. Meng went down, Zijuan went to Daiyu and asked what Ming'er was going to do.

Daiyu thought for a while, and said: "I'm not an outsider. Besides wontons, I just need to make a few more edible things. I remember that the farm sent some roe, roe, hare and venison over here this morning. You ask the kitchen to clean it up, tomorrow. Enjoying the snow and grilling it is interesting."

Li Wan said with a smile: "I just want to eat barbecue. My sister mentioned game. I can't wait. I have to wait on an empty stomach tomorrow morning. Zijuan, remember to save a deer leg for me." Everyone laughed when they heard this. stand up.

The next day was the Changzhi Festival, so Daiyu got up early to wash and wash, and worshiped the ancestral hall first.When he came back, he made an offering and saluted before Jia Min's funeral, and had breakfast with Lin Ruhai, and someone replied: "Mrs. Jiang, the young lady is here."

Daiyu hurriedly took people out to meet her. Not long after, Li Wan also came. Because of the heavy snow, they all greeted her in the corridor.

From a distance, Yan Hui saw Daiyu and Li Wan waiting at the door with a group of girls and daughters-in-law. Li Wan was wearing a sapphire blue tweed cloak and a blue wool snow cover; Daiyu was wearing a red feather gauze cloak and a snow cover.

When they arrived, everyone greeted them and said hello.

Yan Hui agreed

After entering the teahouse, everyone untied their cloaks, and saw Li Wan wearing an ivory white peony trousers, a sky blue fox gown after the rain, a dark blue embroidered horse-face skirt around his waist, and a turquoise skirt around the dark clouds. There is an orchid on the temples, and the golden silk pearl lantern earrings on the ears, which complement the skin like creamy fat and look like a flower.

Yan Hui stepped forward and took her hand and said with a smile: "Long time no see, my sister looks better!"

The author has something to say: This is yesterday’s update. It’s been a bit of bad luck for the past two days. The cold has finally recovered. After a few days of moxibustion on the right hand, it’s getting better. I didn’t expect to open the bottle and hurt the middle finger again. The whole skin on the back is lifted...

ps: The next update will be on Sunday night.
