Chapter 102

In the Yin Yu Hall, Yuan Yunzhong was wearing a fine sermon robe, standing tall and tall under the eaves.

In the yard, a few servants were humming and punching.

Shao Qing stood behind him and said, "Hong Xi is here!"

Yuan Yunzhong didn't speak, and with a "click", the branch protruding obliquely from the eaves of the corridor was broken.

*
In the hall, Song Jiyun was quite surprised to see the shopkeepers and master chefs talking in twos and threes.

According to the etiquette, when Hong Xi came to visit her, he should send someone to send her a post in advance, and agree on the time and place to meet.

It was very disrespectful for him to come here so rashly.

She thought for a while, then asked Zheng Quan in a low voice: "Do you know why he came here?"

Zheng Quan also replied to her in a low voice: "It's about firing porcelain."

Then it shouldn't be.

He didn't ask the boy who sent the samples yesterday to send her a message.

She pondered: "You invite him to sit in the flower hall for a while, I'll finish the business here before I talk about it."

Zheng Quan left the hall lightly.

Song Jiyun saw that everyone had said the same thing, so he said to everyone: "If you have nothing else to do, we will leave. Everyone will go back and prepare for the bidding."

Everyone stopped discussing and said that they would prepare for the bidding, and got up and said goodbye together.

Song Jiyun sent them out to the flower hall.

Hong Xi wore a royal blue slub-pattern hang silk gown, and was accompanied by Zheng Quan, sitting on the grand master's chair in the flower hall drinking tea.

The soft morning light came in, reflecting his face like a crown of jade.

"Master Hong." Song Jiyun greeted him with a smile.

Hong Xi hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand: "Miss Song!"

He bowed to Song Jiyun, then raised his head, his eyes were like stars: "Miss Song, I've taken the liberty to come to the door, and I'm interrupting you. It's just that I have to do it in a hurry. Please don't blame Miss Song."

Such Hong Xi is more handsome than Song Jiyun's impression.

"Master Hong, you're being polite!" She smiled and greeted Hong Xi, and the two sat down as host and guest. Jia Zu drank too much thick wine, and only saw the gourd bottle you sent over this morning."

As he spoke, he opened the brocade box at hand, and said with a smile, "My family ancestor really likes the dogwood picture drawn by Ms. Song. Let me tell you, I will burn fifty gourds of Fu Lu Shou Xi according to the picture you drew. , and burn another fifty offering plates."

He also took a few silver notes and handed them to her: "This is a deposit of 500 taels of silver."

Song Jiyun's expression was somewhat subtle.

Yuan Yunzhong's crow's mouth really made him think, the Hong family is headed by Hong Xi's grandfather.

She was slandering in her heart, but she didn't show it on the face, and she didn't accept the bank note, but said: "It's just the date of delivery..."

Hong Xi said with a smile: "Heshan Academy will come with three gentlemen and a dozen students. The Fu Lu Shou Jui gourd can be kept close to them. For the others, I can discuss with my grandfather and send them later. If I can burn a few, I will send them to you later." Give a few. As for the fifty offering trays, they are going to be stored and used as gifts when there is something else at home."

Only then did Song Jiyun let Zheng Quan accept the bank note, and told him: "You will take it to the accountant of the kiln factory to enter the account later."

Zheng Quan counted the bank notes in front of Hong Xi, and when he saw that the notes matched, he nodded to Song Cuiyun, and then let out a "huh".

Hong Xi laughed and said, "I even brought something for Miss Song."

Song Jiyun was surprised.

The steward behind Hong Xi waved his hand, and seven or eight servants came in one file at a time, holding brocade boxes.

"I know that Ms. Song put a lot of effort into firing porcelain for our family." Hong Xi said apologetically, "Thank you no matter what, please don't refuse, Ms. Song, let me show something to ease my debt."

Song Jiyun didn't expect Hong Xi to do this, she waved her hands again and again, and said, "Master Hong takes care of our family's business, so we should back up generous gifts to visit you and Mrs. Song. How can we make you spend money!"

She remembered Yuan Yunzhong's words, and said: "Our family still has filial piety, so it's not easy to walk around outside. If there is any disrespect, please invite Mr. Hong Haihan."

After finishing speaking, he signaled Zheng Quan to return the brocade box to the Hong family.

Hong Xi smiled and said, "Not all are for Ms. Song, some are for Mrs. Song and the second and third misses of the Song family—I should have visited long ago, but I never had the chance."

He also said in a half-joking and half-serious tone: "Miss Song doesn't want to introduce me to Mrs. Song, does she?"

If it was before Yuan Yunzhong's words, Song Jiyun might have hesitated for a while, but after hearing Yuan Yunzhong's words, she politely refused without thinking too much: "I accept Mr. Hong's wishes for my mother. It's just that my father I just went there, and my mother was hit hard, except for my father's funeral, her old man ignored everything. I had to let Mr. Hong down!"

Hong Xi couldn't hide his surprise, but he quickly restrained his emotions, and said with a smile: "Then I should put the things away, otherwise I will just hide my face and go home."

If Song Jiyun refuses again, it will be unreasonable.

She didn't intend to offend anyone, so she thanked him repeatedly and asked Zheng Quan to accept the things.

Who knew that Hong Xi said again: "I would like to invite Miss Song to Wensi Building to enjoy flowers and drink tea!"

Wensi Building is the largest bookstore in Liang County. The owner's surname is Wen. He is a scholar. Everyone calls him Mr. Wen.

He built a small garden behind the bookstore, divided it into small private rooms, and made it into a teahouse, which was very popular with scholars and gentry.

Song Jiyun's apricot eyes widened.

Since she became Song Jiyun, it was the first time she received such an invitation.

Didn't ancient times pay great attention to "whether men and women give or receive kisses"?

She couldn't help but look at Hong Xi.

Hong Xi didn't hide or dodge, he looked at her steadfastly, his dark eyes were like twinkling stars, revealing seriousness and sincerity that could not be mistaken, as if there was nothing else worthy of his attention in this world except for her answer.

It looks like he wants to confess his love to her!
Song Jiyun thumped in his heart, and was taken aback for a while.

Hong Xi said: "I heard that Mr. Wen from Wensi Building came back from Hangzhou after buying a chrysanthemum. It was very rare. He thought about holding an elegant meeting in a few days. I thought that so many things had happened in the Song family during this time, Everyone must be exhausted, so I want to invite Ms. Song, Mrs. Song and the other two Ms. Song to take a look and relax."

Did she misunderstand?

Song Jiyun was a little uncertain, but since she had no intention of being close friends with the Hong family, she naturally declined politely: "Thank you, Mr. Hong! It will be my father Qiqi's memorial day soon, and your batch of custom porcelain should be arranged as soon as possible. I'm afraid that Mr. Hong will be disappointed."

"I was negligent." Hong Xi repeatedly apologized and said disappointedly, "I heard that the newly appointed parent officer in Liang County will also go there. That's why I thought about asking Miss Song to go with me."

Song Jiyun frowned secretly, but it was undeniable that she was moved by his words.

She hasn't seen the newly appointed parent officer in Liang County yet!
She smiled at Hong Xi, her black and white eyes were bright and bright, she picked up the teacup and wiped the floating leaves with the tea cover, and said: "Thank you Mr. Hong for telling me the news, I will go with Mr. Yuan!"

 Still haven't caught up before 12 o'clock...
