Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 113 Birthday Celebration
Anqing Mansion finally became quieter. In August, when the golden osmanthus is fragrant, the whole family celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival neatly. They reunited to enjoy the moon, tasted wine and recited poems. Even the Ning family who was the most drunk had a drink or two. Looking at the two sons of Yushu Linfeng under the moon and the daughter of Qiao Xiaoqianxi, they are honored.

Foreign officials were lucky enough to escape the chaotic clean-up in central Beijing, and many vacancies were left, but they reaped benefits.

Jiang Wenyuan is one of them. Due to the lack of people in Beijing, he is in a hurry to take power. He does not need to wait until the beginning of next year to report to Beijing, and he will arrive immediately next month.

Therefore, recently, the family has been busy packing up and dealing with the property and paving. This Mid-Autumn Festival was not celebrated with much fanfare, and gifts were given to the close ones, and the family closed the door to have a feast.

Some time ago, when the transfer order first arrived, everyone in the Anqing area had been socialized. When the time came, the family was about to leave. This time even the eldest brother dropped out of the academy and was going to Beijing to enter the Imperial College.

The imperial decree cannot be violated, and officials who fail to arrive on time will be punished, so the departure date is chosen a few days before Jiang Jiuying's 14th birthday, and Ning's family is quite sorry for not being able to celebrate her daughter's birthday.

Jiang Jiuying doesn't feel much about this, she celebrates her birthday every year, eats, drinks, plays, plays and collects some gifts, neither can travel far and wide, nor can she invite friends for small gatherings.

Although the Pan family never proposed to Jiang Chengfu again, the relationship between the two families was somewhat awkward. As long as Pan Jiaxin was not married for a day, Jiang Jiuying would not ask her to come to Jiang's house as a guest.

Pan Tongzhi was not included in this change of position. He continued to serve as the Tongzhi of Anqing Mansion. After Pan Jiaxin knew that Jiang Jiuying was going to Beijing with her family, she posted a post for her for three days. Separation, is there any chance to meet again in this life.

Without Wang's eager pressure on her to get married, Pan Jiaxin's overall condition has improved significantly, and Jiang Jiuying is sincerely happy for her friend.

One person was not too happy.

Zhao Dongli didn't expect that Jiang's family would leave so quickly, and he would have to be trapped in this place where nothing shit happened for a few months, which made people feel irritable for no reason.

Ever since he sent his elder brother away, he began to come and go frequently in Jiang's mansion, looking for various reasons to eat and drink, send this to that, and until recently, he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and often came to Jiang's mansion more casually than going back to his own home. .

It's just...you can eat with food, Ning Shi and Jiang Jiuying appear less and less frequently, and if the gift giver accepts it, they will return something similar.

From the looks of it, it meant neither sin nor intimacy.Zhao Dongli burst into tears. When had he ever flattered others like this? It was because it was too late for others to flatter him.Master Jiang, do you want to be so upright?

Fei Moyi remained silent as always, crying silently in his heart. Recently, his young master has become more and more uncertain. When he is alone, he sometimes laughs foolishly and sometimes falls down, like a psychopath.

But he didn't know it himself, how could he be reluctant to part with the Jiang family and the young master of the Jiang family, obviously...

What is obsessed by the authorities is clear to the bystanders, so it should be.

Fei Mo is happy to watch the play, and continues to act as a clam shell very unkindly.

In Zhao Dongli's various entanglements, in Jiang Chengxuan's ignorance of what is going on outside the window and only reading sage books, in Jiang Chengfu's longing for life in the capital, in Ning's busyness, in Jiang Jiuying's last reunion time with his friends, The day of parting finally came.

Outside the long pavilion, by the side of the ancient road, a group of people said goodbye to each other, broke willows, and after drinking a glass of water and wine, the team of twenty carriages slowly started.

A new day hangs in the sky, Jiang Jiuying secretly lifted a gap in the curtains, and experienced the first large-scale parting scene in ancient times. There was no feeling of reluctance, and no anxiety about the future. As long as they are together as a family, my heart is at ease. my hometown.

"Erlang, I'll see you off again." Before the sadness of parting on one side dissipated, Zhao Dongli on the other side chased him out on horseback, and followed Jiang Jiuying's carriage.

Uh, Mr. Zhao, the second brother is in the front car, you are looking for the wrong person.

Jiang Chengfu obviously heard the commotion outside, poked his head out of the car window, and waved: "Brother Dongli, I'm here."

Zhao Dongli choked, I know you are there, but I don't actually want to find you.

The parting is approaching, what can I give Jiang Jiuying to make Jiang Jiuying not forget him in these few months?Zhao Dongli has been entangled for an unknown amount of time, and finally dragged it off until the day of parting before finally deciding on the final plan last night.

When he left Beijing, he drove lightly and didn't bring too many valuables. The ones sold in a small place like Anqing were so good that he really couldn't afford them, and ordinary ones didn't catch his eye.

Zhao Dongli has a string of glazed beads that he has worn around since he was a child. There were originally 24 beads, even in size and crystal clear, which is very rare.

Fei Mo dragged the master craftsman of the silver shop out of the bed overnight, stuffed 200 taels of silver notes, and finally let him rush to work overnight, splitting a bead string into two.

The colored glaze was paired with some turquoise and tourmaline beads. One was longer, and Zhao Dongli kept it for himself, and the other was shorter, and he was going to give it to Jiang Jiuying. The reasons were all ready-made, a birthday gift.

At this moment, he was clutching the gift box, feeling a little guilty, what should he do if he couldn't send it out.

Chatting with Jiang Chengfu absent-mindedly, he had walked more than ten miles in a blink of an eye, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to follow him any longer.

"Brother Chengfu, you and I fell in love with each other as soon as we saw each other. We parted this time, and when we meet again in the capital, I will send you here. Have a smooth journey." Zhao Dongli reined in his horse and said goodbye to Jiang Chengfu with fists in his hands.

"Brother Dongli, wait until you come back!" Jiang Chengfu smiled sincerely.

"I heard that it will be Lingmei's birthday soon, and I didn't prepare any presents. I'm sorry, but I'll give this little thing to her to play with." After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Chengfu's reaction, he stuffed the gift box into the carriage. The first time I really walked away without looking back.

Just walking faster, the horse's four hooves flew into the air, causing bursts of smoke and dust, choking Jiang Jiuying to cough, and after a while, there was no one.

When the convoy stopped at noon, Jiang Jiuying received a birthday gift from Zhao Dongli.

After she opened the gift box and saw what was inside, she clicked her tongue twice, Dingguo's mansion is really rich!
Glass products that are nothing in later generations are genuine luxury goods at this time, especially the glazed beads on this bracelet, which are transparent and uniform in color, perfect in each piece, and even more rare treasures, probably worth more than a thousand taels .

Even a friend's little sister can give such an expensive gift on her ordinary 14th birthday. The capital city is really exciting.

What kind of gifts should I return?Counting her private house, she has a lot of various ornaments and jewelry, and there is no shortage of valuable things, but none of them are suitable for giving to men, and there is only less than a thousand taels of cash on hand.

Alas, this wayward little son is really a headache.
