Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Thinking of this, Yan Hui hurriedly asked: "Is it Li Shouzhong, Master Li, who sacrificed wine to the Imperial College?"

Mrs. Gu didn't know much about it, so she planned to ask someone to go to the front yard to inquire about it.

Seeing this, Yan Hui hurriedly said: "Auntie doesn't need to send someone to ask. I just asked for nothing. It doesn't matter if it's right."

Gu Zhan was lowering his head to drink tea, when he heard the words, he suddenly raised his head and said, "My aunt's guess is right, it is indeed Li Shouzhong, the Imperial College's sacrificial wine."

Everyone was startled, Mrs. Gu said strangely: "Zhan'er, how do you know? Could it be that you have seen it too?"

Gu Zhan shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before, I just heard a few words from my grandfather yesterday."

Only then did Yan Hui suddenly understand, and then she was a little puzzled, Li's family had never had any contact with her uncle's family, why did she suddenly come to visit at this time?

Seeing her in a daze, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but said, "Could it be that you know Mr. Li?"

Yan Hui came back to her senses, and quickly smiled and said: "Auntie doesn't know, my mother and Mrs. Li's wife are cousin sisters. After all, I have to call Mrs. Li uncle. Besides, Mrs. Li's daughter has always been close to me. We It's very good."

Mrs. Gu has not been back to Beijing for a long time, and she is not very familiar with some families in Beijing, so she smiled and said: "So that's the case, so our two families are also relatives, and this girl from the Li family is on good terms with you. She's also a refreshing girl, so she's out of the court now? Which family are you married to?"

Yan Hui paused for a moment, glanced at Mrs. Gu, and said, "The Jia family in Rongguo Mansion."

Mrs. Gu was startled when she heard the words, remembering the things about the Ningguo Mansion that had been secretly circulated recently, she frowned slowly, and said, "Why is it his house?"

Originally, she had no prejudice against the Jia family, but after returning to Beijing for only one month, she heard a lot of absurd things about the Ningguo Mansion.

Yan Hui smiled awkwardly, and naturally understood why Mrs. Gu was so displeased, and she was not ashamed of Ningguo Mansion's behavior in her heart, but she didn't want Mrs. Gu to misunderstand Li Wan because of this, so she hurriedly argued: "Although Ningguo Mansion's actions are absurd, honorable The Guofu is much better. Although the two families are of the same clan, they have already produced five uniforms, but the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion is still there, and the fourth lady of the Ningguo Mansion is still in her arms, so the two families are closer.

Cousin Li married the eldest son of the second house of the Rongguo Mansion, but it was a pity that the other party passed away young. Now Li's younger sister is chaste at her husband's house, and she only devotes herself to serving Weng Gu and raising the children at home. She is a very proper person. "

Mrs. Gu nodded, but

Negative.

Jiang Yan and Gu Zhan were just drinking tea and gossiping at the side, but when they saw this, they looked at each other and suddenly said, "Grandmother, I'm a little hungry, is there anything to eat?"

Mrs. Gu couldn't care less about the Jia family's affairs when she heard the words, she hurriedly asked someone to bring tea, fruit and snacks to the two brothers, and said: "Lunch will be ready for a while, let's eat some snacks first."

Although Jiang Yan said it was just to divert the topic, he was really hungry. He is fifteen this year, and when he was growing up, he had already digested the little food he ate before going out. Hearing this, he was not polite, and said with a smile: "Thank you, great-aunt."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a jujube cake and ate it. It was very elegant to eat, but the speed was a little faster, and he finished it in two or three bites.

Gu Zhan looked at it and didn't know what to say. This jujube paste cake is often made by the dim sum chef at home. He has eaten it naturally. It's sweet and greasy, Gu Zhan doesn't want to eat it for the second time after eating it once, seeing Jiang Yan eating happily at this time, he doubts if there is something wrong with his taste, otherwise how can he eat such a sweet and greasy thing?

Jiang Yan was eating something sweet, and he still didn't forget to ask Gu Zhan to eat together, pointing to the jujube cake on the plate and said: "This dessert is good, fragrant and delicious, sweet but not greasy, why don't you try it too?"

Gu Zhan glanced at him inexplicably, seeing that his expression was serious, not joking, he couldn't help but silently shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself, cousin."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan didn't force himself. After eating the chicken oil roll, he picked another piece of Butter Roll, which was delicious and sweet.

Mrs. Gu watched happily, but Yan Hui felt a little ashamed, glared at her son, and said angrily: "It's not that I didn't give you food, it's like you haven't eaten in eight lifetimes, and you're not afraid of being laughed at."

Just now he said that this kid was clever, but he didn't expect to return to his original shape in just a moment.

Jiang Yan was a little puzzled, and said with an innocent face: "This is too hungry, and my son can't do anything about it. Besides, my aunt is not someone else's house. Who would laugh at her?"

Yan Hui was almost pissed off by this stinky boy. If you say he is stupid, he reacts quickly when he sees things. He has a good talent in reading and martial arts. If you say he is smart, he has no shape. He is fourteen or fifteen years old. Well, after two years, we can say we're kissing each other, but we're still so out of tune.

Thinking of this, Yan Hui took a look at Gu Zhan, and saw that although he was not very old, he was calmer than her own son, and his demeanor was even more gentle as jade, and then she took a look at her silly son who was eating happily, and secretly Worried, I don't know when it will open in the future

Fortunately, although this kid likes to eat sweets, he doesn't seem to gain weight, and his appearance has followed his father's.

Mrs. Gu liked it very much, and she was afraid that Yan Hui would talk about him again, so she hurriedly said: "Yan'er is growing up, and it is a blessing to be able to eat, so please tell me what he does."

Having said that, he didn't let him eat more, he asked to bring over a plate of hawthorn cake, and said: "If you eat too much, you will easily accumulate food. Eat this first to digest it. It's time to eat later."

Jiang Yan glanced at Yan Hui, saw his mother was looking at him, and was afraid that he would be punished again when he returned home, so he had to agree, and reluctantly pushed away the plates of sweet cakes.

Gu Zhan saw his expression of a strong man breaking his wrist and saying goodbye to life and death, the corners of his mouth curled up, he couldn't help but coughed lightly, and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

While talking, a woman came to say that lunch is ready.

Mrs. Gu knew that Li Shouzhong hadn't left the house yet, so she knew that Gu Yan would not come over, she said to Jiang Yan and Gu Zhan, "Since that's the case, you two don't have to wait for him, just eat with us."

Gu and Zhan agreed, and everyone moved to the East House flower hall.

On the other hand, Li's mother was waiting at home, but she never saw Li Shouzhong coming back. She couldn't help feeling a little worried, and all kinds of thoughts popped up, and she couldn't even eat raw for lunch.

It wasn't until after noon that Li Shouzhong returned to the mansion. Li's mother was so anxious that she quickly waved away the crowd and asked impatiently, "How is it? What did Mr. Gu say?"

Li Shouzhong drank a lot of wine today, so he poured a cup of tea, took a few sips and said, "I haven't mentioned the matter of apprenticeship yet."

Li's mother was full of suspicion when she heard the words, and said: "Then what are you going to do today?"

Li Shouzhong put down the teacup, and said: "There is no one who begs for help as soon as we meet, no matter what, you have to have some friendship to mention it.

But don't worry, although I didn't say it explicitly, I did mention Lan'er briefly, how smart Mr. Gu is, I probably already know it in my heart. "

Li's mother said anxiously: "Then what should we do now? Whether it will be successful or not, we must have a certain letter."

Li Shouzhong said: "Don't worry, I already have a solution. Today I made an agreement with Mr. Gu. Tomorrow, I will invite him to our house as a guest to appreciate calligraphy and paintings. At that time, I will ask Lan Er to come and accompany me. As long as Mr. Gu is willing." Give Lan'er a few pointers, and this matter will have two clues."

Li's mother knew that he had always been successful in his actions, so she was relieved.

Li Shou thought over and over again in the center, only to feel that everything was planned properly, and he never expected that there would be a mistake later, and a joke would almost come out.

But Li Shouzhong is in a very mood today

Well, in the afternoon, at the request of Jia Lan and Li Hou, I took my grandson and grandson to the West Market for a stroll.

It turns out that this West Market is one of the most prosperous places in Kyoto. This street is full of various calligraphy and painting antique shops, flower and bird shops, restaurants and tea houses, etc., and it is extremely lively.

The grandparents and grandchildren wandered around the market with their young servants. Li Hou was better, and occasionally went out with his father, but Jia Lan never went out. He found everything new and interesting to see. They looked after each other carefully, and let the little brothers look around.

Not long after he came to a tea house, he happened to meet a large circle of people in front of him. Li Shouzhong asked someone to ask, it turned out that a little girl was selling her body to bury her father.

Li Hou was very curious, and immediately pulled Jia Lan to watch.

Li Shouzhong saw how chaotic people were here, fearing that the two of them might make mistakes, he hurriedly brought his servants to look after them.

The onlookers saw that the group of them was well dressed, Li Hou and Jia Lan were even more beautifully dressed, followed by a group of young servants, who knew at a glance that they were the sons of a rich family, so they hurriedly stepped aside for fear of offending the nobles. open.

When Li Shouzhong and the others got inside, they realized that the person who sold her body to bury her father was a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in white filial piety, with her hair in a bun, and a white silk flower on her temple.

As the saying goes, a woman should be pretty and filial. Although this little girl is not a stunning beauty, she still has delicate features. At this time, she is dressed in filial piety and her eyes are full of tears, which is quite pitiful.
