Chapter 389
Fortunately, leisurely now has cultivated enough kungfu to Nourish Qi. No matter what others say, she just returns to the past with a faint smile and occasionally a few words of modesty.
After another round of tea, everyone left one after another. Leisurely has already asked people to prepare a return gift for everyone. She asked the servant girl to give it to everyone one by one according to the sign. She said with a smile, "I'm not prepared well today. Please forgive me for the neglect. Everyone is busy next year, so I won't go to everyone's house to make a mess. I have some new ideas. Please take care of the housework. After a year's wait, I'll hold a banquet for you. "
Leisurely gifts are not very precious. They are all fresh vegetables from our greenhouse and all kinds of fruits well preserved in the cellar. In such a cold winter, they are most rare. Whether it's for their own banquets or for gifts from relatives, it's something they're very good at. When they saw it, they all felt it was ironed and left after thanking each other.
After Jiang Gongren left the Shen family, he did not go back to his own home first, but went straight back to his mother's home. Her mother, Jiang Anren, did not expect that her daughter would come at this time. She quickly got up and asked, "it's almost dark now. How can this meeting come?"
Jiang said with a smile, "there's a good thing. Where's my younger brother?"
"Where else can the child go? I don't like to go out. I'm reading in the library. " If you put it in an ordinary home, parents would like their son to work harder. However, when I came to Jiang Anren, I saw my son studying hard and self disciplined. I wish he could be more relaxed.
Listen to the younger brother in the study, Jiang said, "I first go to see the younger brother, and then come and talk to my mother." It's no use. I went straight to my study.
When Jiang went in, his younger brother Jiang Qian was reading a book and was fascinated. He didn't realize it until Jiang came up to him. Jiang Qian saw that the second elder sister came, so he quickly got up and said with a smile, "why did the second elder sister come suddenly? Please sit down
Jiang shook his head and asked, "it's been some days since I went back to Beijing. I saw you studying hard at home in zhenri. In this festival, I often see this literary club and that poetry club outside. Why don't you go out? It's not necessarily a bad thing to go out and walk occasionally and exchange views with classmates. "
After listening to his sister's advice, Jiang Qian answered with a smile, but he was a little disappointed. He has not been studying in the capital for a long time, and there is no intersection with the scholars here. Although some of the former students of Ethnology came to visit, Jiang Qian was very reluctant to deal with them. So I prefer to study hard at home.
Seeing that my younger brother looked a little lonely, Jiang said with a smile, "Why are you frowning? Look what good things I have brought you. You must be very happy when you see them." Finish saying, then leisurely gave of card took out from sleeve.
That post is exquisitely made. It looks like it is used by the female dependents. Although Jiang Qian had some doubts in his heart, he looked at the second elder sister's cheerful appearance and reached for her. When he opened it, he could not help but stand up and asked excitedly, "this is a salutation for Lin Zhuangyuan?"
Jiang responded with pride, "that's nature." Jiang Qian turned around the room excitedly for several times. After he calmed down a little, he asked, "how could my sister have such a post. Who's Shen's family? "
Jiang's not angry white younger brother a look, "I told you several times, don't blindly dead reading.". Didn't I tell you last time? Your brother-in-law's wife, Shen Tongling, is Lin Zhuangyuan's elder sister. I'm going to Shen's house to give you a new year's gift today. Speaking of you, Mrs. Shen is very sympathetic when she hears about our sister and brother's past experience. I also heard that you had to go to Jiangnan to study when you were young. I thought it was not easy for you, so I gave you this post. "
Jiang Qian said happily, "Mrs. Shen is really good!"
Although there was some suspicion in his heart, Jiang didn't want to talk to his younger brother. Instead, he nodded and said, "of course, Mrs. Shen has always been kind-hearted. Mrs. Shen also said that this post only gives you an opportunity. If your knowledge can be appreciated by the number one scholar, he will recommend you to Jinghe Academy. If it's true, then you don't have to go to Jiangnan thousands of miles away. " Hearing the speech, Jiang Qian suddenly calmed down. "Lin Zhuangyuan is the youngest Zhuangyuan in the Dakang Dynasty. He is amazing and gorgeous. I'm not good enough. Can he see me? And the Jinghe academy, which has been famous in Beijing for a long time, naturally I admire it. It's just that people with outstanding qualifications are the children of powerful families. Can I really go to study? "
Different from his brother's uncertainty, Jiang thought of leisurely words, but he had some confidence in his heart. Seeing his younger brother's frustration, Jiang almost said it, but he changed it. "I didn't even try. How could I be so dejected. How do you know that Lin Zhuangyuan doesn't like you? In other words, even if Lin Zhuangyuan is not satisfied with your knowledge, it is a lifelong benefit for you to have the honor to visit Zhuangyuan Lang once and listen to others' teaching. It's a success. It's a pleasure for everyone. No, it doesn't hurt, does it? "
Hearing his elder sister's advice, Jiang qianfang said with a smile, "it's still the second elder sister, but my younger brother has made a mistake." Then he got up and saluted respectfully, "thank you for your help." Although Jiang's words are understated, Jiang Qian is a person who has passed the childhood test. The twists and turns of these interpersonal relationships can guess two points. For no reason, no matter how kind Mrs. Shen was, she would not be so enthusiastic about other people's affairs. Sister, I don't know how much effort it took!
Seeing that his younger brother was so sensible at a young age, Jiang's heart was a little relieved. Now she is looking forward to her brother's early success. As long as her younger brother can win the exam, she will give him official status even if she gives up her private property! Those who have trampled their family under their feet will always regret and feel uneasy in the future.
After seeing them off, leisurely just went back to the inner courtyard and put on his home clothes. I saw a post sent by the servant. It was actually sent by the second room, saying that she was invited to have tea in Qingya teahouse tomorrow.
How could the second aunt invite herself out for tea at such a busy time? Leisurely in the mind some don't understand, then to come to send the son-in-law of card to ask "tomorrow still have who go?"
The woman respectfully replied, "if you go back to grandma Zeda, there is no one else, just our wife and the big girl. Our wife said, "I haven't seen Miss Xi for a long time. If it's cheap, I'd like to ask the eldest grandmother to take the girl with me, so that I can talk."
Leisurely more puzzled, if you ask others to pour it all right, their own people need to run to the teahouse to drink tea? So she asked, "how did the second aunt remember to come out for tea? But what's so extraordinary about this teahouse? "
The old lady chuckled, "is there anything extraordinary? I don't know. I just heard that there seems to be a gathering of literati in the teahouse tomorrow. The second master of our family is also going. My wife wants to take us to cheer for him. "
After hearing this, yo Ruan has already understood that literati get together. I'm afraid it's a pretext to cheer up. I'm afraid the second aunt is going to the son-in-law of the prime minister! When it comes to the Spring Festival, Shen Xiang will be nineteen, right? It's a bit late if we don't get engaged again.
So leisurely then said with a smile, "well, I know. You go back and tell the second aunt that tomorrow I'll take sister Xi with me. "
In the evening, after Shen Ze came back, leisurely said Shen Xiang's marriage first. Then he said with a smile, "I've done all the things you told me. I don't know what's in your mind. Baba's going to woo his family?"
