Chapter 5 Yincui Pavilion

Chang Luoyun smiled embarrassingly, "If it's just me, I'd be colder. At worst, I'd wear an extra dress. However, Kong Shaoling's lady and Qianjin didn't know where I came back, and they sent word that they wanted to come to the door. Reminiscing about the old days. Daddy, you also know that Mrs. Shaoling and my aunt originally exchanged handkerchiefs, and Miss Linger and I are also very close, so I can't refuse them when they come to the door."

"Of course I can't refuse. Not only can I not refuse, but I have to say hello." Chang Pu's eyes lit up and he interrupted her, "At that time, we will have a spring banquet, and I will send a greeting card to Kong Shaoling, so that he can also come along with me. Come and sit at our house."

Kong Shaoling is Chang Pu's highest peak, since the death of Mrs. Han, Kong Shaoling's family has been alienated from Chang's family a lot.In the past few years, Kong Shaoling has been very dissatisfied with him, especially for this embroidery competition, he has been reprimanded several times.He is suffering from not knowing how to ease the relationship between him and Shaoling, and now his daughter has friendship with his family. Where can I find such a good opportunity?
Chang Pu's face was pleasant, "Yun'er, you just have to agree. I will tell your mother to prepare the food and food when the time comes. You just need to greet Mrs. Shao Ling and Qian Jin."

"Thank you, daddy," Chang Luoyun saluted Chang Pu playfully. Just as he stood up, he seemed to think of something again. Come and sit in my room, but my room is really damp and cold, so I asked Dad to buy some charcoal, so that I can warm the room in advance. Don’t say that our family has no rules and neglects guests.”

"Cold and wet?" Chang Pu raised his eyebrows, "Where do you live?"

"The Linshui residence next to the waterside pavilion? Mrs. Pei personally arranged it." Chang Luoyun's face was full of questions that you don't know, "It was windy last night, and it happened that the windows were not tightly papered, and the cold wind blew all night. If Dad doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."

Chang Pu's face became ugly. He naturally knew that the small courtyard next to the waterside pavilion was usually unoccupied.

"Longevity." Chang Pu called out the door.

A handsome boy in Tsing Yi trotted in and bowed to Chang Pu, "Master!"

"Go and call Mrs. Pei over, and tell her that I have something to look for."

Changsheng agreed to go out.

Chang Pu's eyes fell on Chang Luoyun again.

It was early spring, but she was wearing a light blue quilted muslin jacket, the cuffs of which had been frayed to white edges, and a crescent-white half-new skirt on her lower body, with no decorations on her whole body.

Chang Pu is used to seeing his daughter's house ostentatiously, but he has never seen a girl dressed in such a humble way.If it wasn't for the girl's well-groomed appearance, she wouldn't show timidity in such a suit, and it might be shabby for someone else to wear this suit.

"Daddy, did I say something wrong?" Chang Luoyun saw Chang Pu looking at him with a confused expression.

"Yun'er, you didn't say anything wrong? Daddy just felt that he owed you!"

Chang Luoyun's smile immediately burst out of his eyes, "Daughter can grow up safely, Daddy doesn't owe me anything, Aniang is alive in the sky, and she will also be grateful to Daddy."

Chang Pu's eyes darkened, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

The sound of small footsteps came in, and the two looked at the door together. Mrs. Pei was wearing a purple satin gown and a concubine-colored skirt embroidered with gold thread. Very gorgeous and beautiful.

"Master," Pei's face was full of joy, and he glanced at Chang Luoyun and joked, "Yun'er is here too, you haven't come to say hello today, I thought the girl had overslept too much."

"Miss Pei is really joking," Chang Luoyun bowed his knees generously to meet the salute, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Yesterday when I went to pay my respects to Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei specifically told me that I should come to greet my father today. Thinking about it, as soon as Daddy comes back today, I will come over, how dare I slack off in the slightest."

Pei's breath was stuck in her throat, and she barely choked on it.

"Yan'er, in two days, Mrs. Shaoling will bring her daughter to our house as a guest. I am going to hold a spring banquet. I will invite Shaoling and colleagues who work together. It happens to be very lively." Chang Pu looked at Pei. Shi, "You will arrange everything properly tomorrow, and prepare in advance what needs to be purchased."

"Spring banquet?" Mrs. Pei didn't know what the second Master Chang was up to. The Chang family had never held a spring banquet. What's more, Shao Ling and Chang Pu had always been at loggerheads. ?

"Master, are you sure Kong Shaoling will come to the Spring Banquet?" Pei asked carefully.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Chang Pu's face, "Yun'er is back, and Mrs. Shaoling brought her daughter over to see what's so strange. I happened to invite Shaoling to come over, and he will reward him no matter what."

Pei's eyes glanced over Chang Luoyun complicatedly, and said, "Yun'er is a teenager, how could Mrs. Shaoling come to visit her in person? Could it be to make us happy?"

"Miss Pei, you can rest assured. My aunt and Mrs. Shaoling exchanged handkerchiefs. She said she would come to see me, and she would definitely not lie to me." Chang Luoyun was very sure.

Pei's complexion changed slightly. Seeing that Chang Pu's complexion was not good, he didn't dare to say anything, so he just smiled and said, "This is the best, then I will do as the master said."

"Oh, that's right," Chang Pu said, "Yun'er should live in Yincui Pavilion. Linshui residence is too cold and too remote. It's not suitable for a girl to live in."

Pei Shi was taken aback, and glanced at Chang Luoyun.

Chang Luoyun lowered his head and closed his sleeves, pretending he didn't see it.

"Master," Mrs. Pei turned her head, "Yincui Pavilion has just been painted, am I afraid of getting smoked?"

"Isn't it a year ago to paint? It's been three or four months now, and the smell should have dissipated long ago. It's just right for Yun'er to move there."

"Master, Mrs. Pei is in a hurry, "Didn't you already promise Yao'er Yincui Pavilion? "

"Oh, is it?" Chang Pu was silent, "Then let Yun'er live in Yincui Pavilion first, and after a while, Yao'er will move to Qiyue Pavilion."

There are a total of six courtyards in the inner courtyard of the Chang family. The main courtyard, Jinyutang, and the east and west courtyards are the largest. Since Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Han, Jinyutang and the east courtyard have been empty since no one lived there.

Now the Pei family and Chang Luoyao live in the west courtyard, the only ones left are Yincui Pavilion, Qiyue Pavilion and Linshuiju.Originally, Chang Yunwen, born to the Pei family, lived in Qiyue Pavilion, but moved to the outer courtyard at the end of last year, so five of the six courtyards in this compound were vacant.

Yincui Pavilion is the largest courtyard in the Chang family's inner courtyard besides the Jinyu Hall and the east and west courtyards. Originally, Mrs. Pei wanted to let Chang Luoyao move to Yincui Pavilion when it got warmer, so years ago, she specially invited the best craftsmen in Qingzhou The Yincui Pavilion has been carefully taken care of.

Now that Second Master Chang actually opened his mouth and gave the yard to Chang Luoyun. Although she was furious, she still tried her best to maintain her usual dignified and virtuous image.

"Master, why don't you let Yun'er go to Qiyue Pavilion? Since you have agreed to Yao'er, and now you let Yun'er move, won't it make her sister feel jealous?" Pei asked Chang with a smile on her face. Pu's opinion.

Seeing that he didn't object, he looked at Chang Luoyun with a smile on his face, "Yun'er, you've always been filial and sensible, and you won't embarrass your father just because of this, right?"
