Chapter 287
Looking at the old lady's expression, I thought she would agree without hesitation, but the corner of Shen Yujun's grinning mouth was forcibly split apart by the sentence "No!" Brother has lost his eyesight, he is indeed Shen Er, he lives up to his name. "Grandmother, please, I'm going with Gu Er, he is good at horseback riding and archery, grandson will bring a team of guards to ensure that nothing will happen, grandma~grandmother~?"
"Gu Er? Is he the second boy of Hou's family in Ningyuan? This boy's reputation in Beijing is not very good, his personality is quite stubborn, and he often hangs around in the Chuguan restaurant. Your father entrusted you to me to take care of you. Don't follow him If I fail in my studies, what am I going to do with my old bones to explain to your father." The old lady said and shook her head.
"Grandmother, Gu Tingye is a very nice person. He is loyal and righteous, and he has a heart to serve the country. I don't know how those rumors that slander him come from?" Shen Yujun excused Gu Tingye.
Although Xu Nian did not participate in the 'tug of war' between the two, he had to admit that he, the second brother, really had the ability to see the essence through the phenomenon. Maybe it was because of his pure mind, and it was more straightforward to see the problem.
This guy was holding one arm of the old lady and kept shaking it, and the old lady was shaking with his strength. She was so entangled by him that she couldn't help it, "It's okay to go, but after you come back, just obediently go to Sheng's mansion to attend classes." I am an old friend of Mrs. Sheng, and I have already made an agreement with her. The Sheng family has invited the Daru Zhuang pedant to teach his children. The pedant Zhuang is a person of great wisdom, and ordinary people cannot invite him He, I hope that you, a piece of rotten wood, can also be carved into a useful piece by him."
The old lady rubbed Shen Yujun's head with a loving face.
Shen Yujun got a headache as soon as he heard the book, and this guy immediately turned against him, saying that he could not go hunting tomorrow, but the old lady put him to death with one sentence, "Yaoer is going too, so you can take care of your sister if you go."
Shen Yujun left dejectedly. Before leaving, she still gave Xu Nian an angry look. This sister must have come to collect debts.Thinking of the letter his father gave him, if he didn't take good care of his sister, he would face the tragic situation of father and brother mixed doubles, "Ah! Why am I so miserable!"
Hearing Gu Er's grief and indignation outside, Xu Nian and the old lady smiled immorally. She took the old lady's hand, "Grandmother, granddaughter, are you going too? Yao'er doesn't need a scientific examination, please invite someone at home." Teacher is good, Yaoer wants to be with you all the time."
The old lady patted Xu Nian's head lovingly, and talked about the past, "Before I left the cabinet, the old lady of the Sheng family and I exchanged handkerchiefs. I was the youngest daughter of the Zhongyong Hou family, and she was the eldest daughter of the Yongyi Hou family. The Hou Mansion has always been distinguished and powerful. When she was young, the old lady Sheng dared to love and hate, and was unrestrained. She was also a well-known figure in the capital. Empress Jing'an, who is now the Holy Majesty's own mother, is also a close friend who talks about everything."
"A few days ago, I went to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense. I met her in the temple. She was accompanied by a girl who was two years older than you. She looked very similar to her back then. You don't have a good handkerchief by your side. Go and have a look, go out to play more, don't be bored at home all day, enjoy life well before you leave the court, when you get married in the future, there will be many things, you should not have this comfortable mood."
"Grandmother, Yao'er doesn't want to get married? She has to stay with grandma all the time." Xu Nian lowered her head shyly.
This is the case in this era. There are so many restrictions on women. When talking about marriage, women should be like people in the 60s talking about sex. They should be shy and avoid.If not, people should doubt your upbringing.How can the women of the official family be like the women in the brothel and Chuguan, without shame, without courtesy, justice and shame.
The old lady smiled teasingly and said: "My Yao'er is shy! It seems that she is going to grow up to be a big girl."
After my grandmother took the two of them to visit Shengfu once, it was decided to go to Shengfu to study.
The carriage was burning with high-quality silver charcoal, without smoke and dust, and a small and exquisite heater was stuffed in Tingxue's hand. Xu Nian had been practicing martial arts, and there was some spiritual energy in this world, "Nine Breath Jue" It will run automatically, she is not afraid of the cold at all, even in these nine cold days, she is not afraid at all even if she is only wearing summer clothes.
But there is a kind of coldness, your grandmother thinks you are cold.So, Xu Nian went out in warm clothes and a white fox fur cloak.
"Why did it stop suddenly?"
"Servant, go down and have a look." After listening to Xue, she was about to go out to check.
Hearing the words, he rushed to say: "Young master met the eldest son of Duke Qi's family. Young master Qi also went to study in Sheng's mansion. He just happened to meet and chatted for a while."
"Young master of Duke Qi's family?" Xu Nian murmured softly, "Is that him?"
"It's Mr. Qi Heng, Mr. Qi. He is really the ideal husband-in-law for the girls in Beijing. He has a prominent family background, is motivated, looks elegant and handsome, has a gentle and polite personality, and cleans himself. He is the only heir of the Duke of Qi. Qi Guogong, there are only a handful of men like him in Bianjing." Ting Xue counted Qi Heng's advantages in Xu Nian's ear, with an air of selling Amway.
"Are you yearning for spring, girl? When I go back today, I will ask Nanny Xiao to find you a good family and marry you off." Xu Nian deliberately threatened Tingxue.Ting Xue has a simple temper, but always puts Xu Nian's affairs first, and is loyal to her.
"Don't miss me, I'm just asking for you! The second son said that the husband should be raised from a baby, and he told us to keep our eyes bright. I think the second son is right. This son-in-law is better than the girl." Three years older, family background, appearance, personality, all aspects are excellent." Ting Xue sold Shen Yujun without hesitation.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Ting Xue immediately shut up, her martial arts are not weak, and Father Shen specially picked her for Xu Nian.
"Little sister, we're here, let's get down first." Shen Yujun's voice came from outside the car, serious, Xu Nian was really not used to it.
Shen Yujun lifted the curtain for Xu Nian, supported her arm, and Xu Nian stepped off the carriage.
The girl is slender, wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, which makes her skin fairer and more translucent, and her lips are pink and tender; she wears a light pink exquisite ball headband, which shakes slightly as she walks, sending out finely shattered hair. The sound of ding-dong made her look a little cute; when she raised her eyes to look at people, there was an indescribable twinkle in her clean and clear peach eyes. These things mixed together formed her own unique beauty. The temperament is unforgettable.
When Qi Heng looked at Xu Nian, she also looked at Qi Heng.
At the age of eleven or twelve, he has already begun to look like a young man, with a tall and straight figure, dressed in a light blue robe and a cloak of the same color, which makes his face more like a crown jade, black hair tied on the top, and a hairpin. A black jade moon hairpin, under the long and slightly curly eyelashes, a pair of clear eyes like morning dew, a straight nose, and an impeccably perfect outline.Really answered that sentence, the young master is modest and gentle as jade.
"Sister Shen."
"Young Master Qi."
The two greeted each other, and at the end, Qi Heng said with blushing cheeks, "I'm calling Yuan Ruo, and if sister Shen doesn't mind, you can call me Brother Yuan Ruo."
Xu Nian bowed slightly to her, "Brother Yuan Ruo."
It turned out that the person I met that day was really you.Fate is really wonderful.
"Don't you remember me? Four years ago, in Zhenyuanhou's Mansion, peach-flavored Ryukyu candy." They walked towards the school together, and just as Xu Nian finished speaking, Qi Heng suddenly decided not to leave.
"So it was you, the little girl."
"Hey, what are you two talking about? Why can't I understand a word." Shen Yujun looked at this and then at that, with a dazed expression on his face.
The two just looked at each other and smiled without saying much.
It turned out that on the day Shen's mother passed away, she secretly wanted to go to the front hall, but she fell hard on the road, her hair bun fell apart, her hand was broken, and there were bursts of severe pain in her knees, and she couldn't get up for a while. At this moment, a clean hand stretched out in front of her, "Are you all right? I'll help you up."
Xu Nian supported his hand and stood up, looking extremely embarrassed.
Qi Heng took out a light blue handkerchief from his pocket, carefully wrapped Xu Nian's injured palm, wiped her tears, took out a Ryukyu candy from his purse, and handed it to her mouth, " Eat it, it’s sweet, and you won’t feel sad after eating it. This is peach-flavored Ryukyu candy, which is not sold anywhere else. This is specially made by my chef, and my mother only allowed me to eat two in three days.”
"Brother Yuan Ruo, what charades are you and my little sister playing?" Shen Yujun scratched his ears and cheeks itchingly.
Qi Heng just looked at him, slightly lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say much.
"Second brother, don't mess around, we're at school." Xu Nian grabbed Shen Yujun who was rubbing against Qi Heng's side.
The courtyard here has a quiet environment, facing south from the north, with white walls and black tiles, bluestone pavement, a large strange stone decoration on the right hand against the wall, moss growing on the corner, and patchwork green bamboos all around. A spacious and elegant house, written in Ming Xin Zhai.The pillars of the porch are all in the color of logs, with only a simple layer of tung oil painted on them, but they look a bit rustic.
On the east side, there is a book table at the head, and when you go down two steps, there are two rows of book cases neatly placed in the hall below, one for men and women, and the left and right sides are far apart. A thick blanket is spread under each book case .The upper part is the place where Zhuang's pedants give lectures. The layout is elegant. There are two potted pine trees on the back against the wall. A portrait of Confucius is hung on the wall, and the bookshelf is placed on the south wall.
Even though it was winter, Ming Xin Zhai did not hang thick curtains around it for the sake of lighting, but only lit enough charcoal basins in the corners, approached, and faintly heard a few women's laughter from inside the room.
The three of Xu Nian brought them in, and the room was suddenly quiet.
Everyone has met a few days ago. Although they are not very familiar with each other, they greet each other politely. Zhuang Xuexue has not yet come.
"Sister Yuyao, can you sit with me?" Sheng Molan, the fourth daughter of the Sheng family, spoke coquettishly and timidly, looking weak and helpless.Maybe it was because he was still young and couldn't hide his emotions better. Those eyes were full of flattery and calculation, and he was not restless at all.Although Sheng Molan was a concubine, her little mother, Lin Sushuang, was very favored. According to her age, she sat first in the north.
Lin Sushuang is Sheng Hong's most favored concubine. She has a son and a daughter. The daughter is Sheng Molan and the son is Sheng Changfeng.Lin Sushuang is delicate and charming, with a weak and innocent appearance. She is used to tears and words to disguise herself, but she is vicious and scheming. Sheng Molan deserves to be her daughter. The mother and daughter have exactly the same temperament and personality.
Sheng Hong is the lord of the Sheng family. He has just been transferred to the capital in the past two years, serving as a fifth-rank middle servant doctor.
Sheng Changfeng, the third son of the Sheng family, is of average appearance, but has a cowardly and cowardly personality.
Since she was going to study at the Sheng family, she would naturally investigate the basic situation of the Sheng family, so as not to get into any unnecessary family disputes.
After all, Xu Nian is a guest, so how come he stole the limelight from the host's family? Besides, Sheng Molan invited her to sit in her seat so ostentatiously, it was not just for Qi Heng and Shen Yujun to see, but also to show off Her generosity.She looked at the two with surprise and longing in her eyes, especially Qi Heng.
Using herself as a raft, why is Xu Nian not used to her stink?He said simply: "Okay! Thank you, Fourth Miss."
