[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Hearing Yang Yi's sudden question, Brother Ai was overjoyed, but his face suddenly became flat: "No."

"Ah?" Yang Yi was stunned for a moment. He had thought about this question for a long time to trap Brother Ai. If ordinary people asked him this way, as long as he didn't openly tear his face, he would say yes. Why Brother Ai? Say no?

Looking at Yang Yi who was stupefied, Brother Ai's face was still serious: "What advice, brother Yang?"

"Uh, that, that..." Yang Yi chatted for a while before asking, "Why aren't we friends anymore?"

Brother Ai nodded: "Yes, I don't know why we are not friends anymore."

"Ah?" Yang Yi was shocked again: "Didn't you say that we are not friends?"

Brother Ai looked at him puzzled: "You were the one who first doubted whether we were friends. If someone doubted yourself, would you still be friends with that person?"

"No." Yang Yi replied affirmatively, and only after she finished the answer did she realize that she had made a mistake: "Oh, I didn't mean that just now, I just wanted to confirm with you, not doubting whether you are good enough friends."

Brother Ai was about to burst out laughing, but his face was still as calm as water: "Well, I see. Brother Yang, please take a seat first, and my younger brother will accompany my father to receive guests."

"I'm also a guest of your house." Yang Yi grabbed Brother Ai directly: "Let's open the skylight to talk brightly. Mr. Lin has already said that the greenhouse is for you. This time, I will share two pots of peonies."

Brother Ai looked at Yang Yi with the eyes you teased me: "You saw it too, I spent several months of thinking to get out these four pots. Just now, my husband said that I want to put those two pots of Yao Huang sent him to his house. I was busy once, and I must let my mother see what I was busy with, right? Besides, if it wasn’t for my mother, I wouldn’t urge Wei Zi, but I actually like Er Qiao myself.”

Yang Yi already turned pale in a hurry: "You really don't want me to be your brother, do you? Well, I know you for nothing." As she spoke, her eye circles turned red.

Brother Ai finally realized his conscience and felt that he was a bit bullying the child, so he said to him: "Although there are no peony, how many pots will I have for you with a smile?"

Yang Yi was not moved: "Although that thing is rare now, it is not as good as peony."

Seeing that he was about to cry, Brother Ai had no choice but to ask: "You are in such a hurry to spend, there must be a reason. If you are not in a hurry, I will ask someone to rush you again."

Hearing his words finally loosen, Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "In less than ten days, it will be the governor's family Shi Jiang's birthday. If it is someone else, he loves peonies the most. If I give him a pot at this time, I will give him a pot at this time. He Shou is the first among the people."

Governor's house?Brother Ai thought about it, and then asked: "I also met with my father when the second master came to the house last time, and he is the most kind. As long as he has his heart, he will not give you anything..."

"What do you know?" Yang Yi interrupted Brother Ai's words: "Shi Jiang is the eldest son of the second master Shi, and also the grandson who grew up with the governor's wife. To the moon."

"Every year, his birthday is more lively than the governor's birthday. It is said that it is a child's birthday, and the contacts are all relatives, but those salt merchants and guilds, what relatives and stories can they have with the governor's family?" ? It’s just for Shi Jiang’s name, for the sake of Governor Shi’s reputation and benefits.”

"At our age, it was just to show our hearts, but how many officials' sons in the province are going to congratulate him on his birthday. If the things you give don't catch his eyes, he will ignore you."

This is the first time Brother Ai has heard of it, so he waved his hand to tell Yang Yi to whisper: "Slow down, if your brother hears it, he will say you again. Come and spend the full moon with my brother, why bother to make him unhappy."

Yang Yi immediately reintroduced Brother Ai as a confidant, and whispered: "Now he has learned more and more Taoism, and he is more in charge of me than my father." Then he said: "Will you share it with me? How much do you say?" a word."

Brother Ai looked at him in embarrassment: "These pots are really not worth it, it's not about the money - the husband gave me the green house that day, it also means that I am unstable, it is better to let me run around outside I looked at the flowers for him. Is it for me to use peanuts? After finally getting these pots, it is natural for my teacher and my mother to appreciate them first, otherwise it will be difficult to take back the flower house and come back later. "

Seeing that Yang Yi was about to get anxious again, he hurriedly comforted him and said, "Isn't there still a few more days? I'll let them see if there is still time. If there is, you can just move, but just reward them with a few hard-working money. It's done, You can match the basin yourself, how can they know what is good in their eyes?"

Yang Yi excitedly patted Brother Ai on the shoulder: "In the future, you will be my real brother."

Brother Ai looked behind him and said with a faint smile: "Don't dare, dare not be."

Yang Yi also said boldly: "Why don't you dare? You are saving me from danger, and the three heroes of Taoyuan are nothing more than that. I hate that my brother is too old-fashioned, otherwise we can follow suit. Let me tell you, you brother, don't teach me badly. If we leave him, it will be the same for the three of us to become sworn brothers.”

Talking excitedly, he dragged Brother Ai to see Mudan again, but he didn't want to turn around and see Yang Bao behind him. He stood there for a long time, and his expression was not happy.

Except for the filth among the Yang family's own brothers, the other guests felt that it was unique and fresh, and there were also wives with good flowers. They asked if there were any other flowers in the flower house, and thought that they could go shopping for some flowers when they held banquets in their own home in the future. Pots to garnish.

When the guests cleared up and there were only three members of the family left in the room, Brother Ai told Yang Yi about the governor's grandson's birthday in a few days and asked his parents to refer to it.

After Shen Ren heard this, he pondered for a while and said: "In the past, I was alone in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone knew that there was no one in the back house, so there was some negligence in etiquette and it was easy to evade. Now that your mother and son are here, and there is the same thing as last time, it is hard not to go. "

Fang followed suit and nodded: "Indeed, it's just a child's gift, it's not too light or too heavy."

Shen Ren smiled: "What is too light or too important? It's just giving the name of the child's birthday. Naturally, the heavier the gift, the better. Fortunately, I don't expect to be promoted, it's just a normal relationship."

Mrs. Fang nodded after hearing this, and wondered again: "If the second master goes, it will make people feel too flattering, but I can't leave now." Brother Xun is too young, and the provincial capital is no better than Yangzhou, so he can't go there on the same day and come back on the same day.

Brother Ai smiled and said: "Anyway, Yang Yi is going too, why don't I go with him. It just happens to be our relationship."

It was just right for him to go, but looking at his small body, Fang still couldn't bear it: "How can you let me feel at ease when you go out alone at a young age."

Brother Ai said boldly: "People say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. This is a good time to practice. What's more, the Yang family will definitely not let Yang Yi go alone, Yang Bao is bigger."

Shen Ren listened and nodded: "Alright, just go and ask your husband what they gave away in previous years. If they give it back this year, we will just be the same as his family."

This is considered to be a decision, Brother Ai asked Lin Ruhai first, and knew that his family was just the usual four gifts in the past, so the Shen family also prepared for the same.It's better for Brother Ai to say that it is Shi Jiang who loves flowers, so let him spend them.

Before leaving, Yang Yi asked someone to go to the greenhouse to pick up the peonies that had been stimulated, and directly rewarded the gardener with 300 taels of silver. Brother Ai was considered to have won his first pot of gold.He took out 30 taels to reward the people in the flower house, and Brother Ai brought back a pot of tea plums himself-he only went to pay the ceremony, not to compete with Yang Yi for the limelight.

Sure enough, the brothers of the Yang family came out together. Hearing that Brother Ai was going to accompany them, Yang Yi was already in high spirits, discussing where to swim in the lake and what snacks to eat when he went to the provincial capital. It sounds like he is very interested in the provincial capital Very familiar.

Boarding the boat one day earlier, the three of them watched the mountains and rivers all the way, and Yang Yi showed off how many poems he had recited.Brother Ai's melody has not been memorized for more than half a year. Although he is not a spiritual person in poetry, he has already started to take time to read poems by himself. Hearing Yang Yi's memorization, he will raise his head from time to time and let him continue. back.

Such a journey was not lonely, and someone came to pick me up when I disembarked.Seeing Brother Ai's suspicious expression, Yang Bao smiled and said: "In order for my father to have a place to stay when he went to the province to do business, he also built a small house. But it is not as spacious as the home, and I have wronged brother Shen Yue."

It seems that the magistrate has more things to worry about than the magistrate.Brother Ai was clear in his heart, with a grateful face on his face: "I thought it would be better to have my own house if I wanted to live in a hotel, so why should I be wronged. Brother Bao, you are more polite."

Yang Yi was impatient with their politeness, so she took Brother Ai to go with him in the car: "Go back and wash up, you can still go to the Confucius Temple in the afternoon, just be polite here, let people see the Western view?"

Yang Bao had nothing to do with his younger brother, so he got into the car.

The house is really not big, it can only be entered twice, but it is a typical Jiangnan style, with rockery piled up in the small yard, and three or five red fish are raised in the small pond below, swallowing the duckweed on the water surface.Brother Ai stepped on the green bricks, thinking vulgarly that this house close to the Governor's Mansion might be expensive.

After eating something hastily at noon, Yang Yi called to go out, even Zhongjue refused to rest.Yang Bao wanted to go to the governor's mansion first to deliver the greeting card and letter, so he had to tell the people guarding the house to follow along, and told the people who brought him to be careful, and if there was anything to do, just go to the governor's mansion to find him.

After giving detailed instructions, Yang Yi and Brother Ai finally escaped.Because the residence was close to the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor's Mansion was not far from the Confucius Temple, Yang Yi didn't want to listen to Yang Bao's nagging, so she didn't even have a car ready, so she took Ai Geer and went out.On the way, Yang Yi complained to Brother Ai again: "I knew he was two years older than me, but I didn't know he was my father."

Brother Ai only chuckled, but he felt that Yang Bao treated Yang Yi with the utmost benevolence, if Brother Xun was so cruel in the future, he would let Brother Xun know what it means to be an elder brother like a father.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone shouted in front of him: "Where did you come from, don't you have eyes when you walk? You can afford to bump into your mother and damage the uncle's things? This is going to be given to the governor's mansion, Young Master Sun!" s things!"
