Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 53 Riding a Horse
Tang Bingxuan sat on the soft step in Pingyu's inner room, took a sip of water, and whispered: "What do you mean when you and your mother come back at this time?"

Pingyu was a little amused when Tang Bingxuan suddenly asked her cautiously, and said calmly: "You are only a month older than me, and the marriage has already been decided. My mother was also anxious about my marriage, so she left my father to accompany me in Huzhou. I’m going back to Beijing.”

Tang Bingxuan had received a letter from Ping Yu about coming back, but she didn't expect that the little girl back then had reached the age of getting engaged, and thought she had to come back to solve some difficult problems.

"That's right. Once you decide on your marriage, your uncle and aunt will probably let you stay in Kyoto and wait for your marriage." Tang Bingxuan nodded with agreement.

It is very good for Ping Yu to marry in Kyoto. Even after they get married, it will be cheaper for them to meet in Kyoto.

Tang Bingxuan smiled and pushed Pingyu with her shoulder, "Auntie has someone to choose. Do you want me to help you choose?"

Pingyu, who had a carefree temperament and didn't stick to trivial details, actually had a shy expression when she heard Tang Bingxuan's words.

Bingxuan, who was lying on Tang's side, whispered in Tang's ear: "My mother is still discussing with my aunt and has not decided on a candidate, but she has asked me what I want and will choose a suitable husband for me."

Tang Bingxuan has the most say on the marriageable young men in Kyoto. After all, in the past few months, her family has collected information about many young talents for her.

"Then let Auntie and the others choose first. When the time comes and you need my help, you can tell me. I will definitely not refuse the big things in my little sister's future."

Ping Yu rolled her eyes at Tang Bingxuan and said matter-of-factly: "This is how important things in life should be for little sisters."

Tang Bingxuan was speechless as she listened to Ping Yu's bold words and stroked her forehead, which seemed to be sweating.

Pingyu's appearance is more similar to that of her mother Guo, with a round face, fair skin, and big, watery eyes. She looks smaller than her peers; the natural contradiction of a handsome and delicate girl makes people not understand her. She was ignored because she looked young.

Ping Yu looked at Tang Bingxuan's speechless expression and felt amused, "How is your future husband? I was worried about you when I received the news of your engagement."

Xuan'er has a lazy temperament and doesn't like to worry about other things, but she is unexpectedly bound by the marriage contract to marry a dandy. If she can't control her husband after getting married, she will not be blamed by her parents-in-law.

Later, I received a letter from Xuan'er mentioning the marriage contract between the Tang and Jiang families, and briefly mentioned Jiang Shunian's character. She knew that although the other party was a dandy, he was a good person, not a libertine who was ungrateful, and Ping Yu was just a little bit Peace of mind.

Tang Bingxuan felt sweet and shy when Pingyu mentioned Jiang Shunian, but she said nonchalantly: "I don't care about anything else. He is handsome and elegant. He is a gentleman like no other in the world."

Most of the men Tang Bingxuan saw on weekdays were family members, and they were all good-looking, but in terms of elegance, it was Jiang Shunian who was the most refined, combining the good looks of Mr. Jiang and his wife Qiao.

"Although most people in the world judge people by their appearance, you are not new to the world. Are you really that handsome?" Ping Yu didn't believe it.

In her limited life, most of the dandies she had seen were fat or ugly, except of course Mr. Tang San.

Tang Bingxuan didn't care about her friend's distrust, "You'll know when you meet her someday."

Pingyu was immediately very curious, "How about we make an appointment to go horse riding in the countryside in a few days and let me meet my handsome future brother-in-law?"

Pingyu has been keen on horseback riding since she was a child. When the eldest princess found out about it, she gave her a maroon pony. Pingyu couldn't put it down. She fed and washed the horse herself and named the pony "Zhuifeng". . "How about we make an appointment in a teahouse or a private room in a restaurant?"

If she just wanted to meet someone, why bother riding a horse in the scorching sun? Tang Bingxuan could no longer complain about Pingyu's hobby that had been going on for several years.

I remember when Pingyu was in Kyoto, no matter how much Tang Bingxuan wanted to stay at home and sleep or read a storybook on the couch, she finally had to give in and accompany her good sisters to race with her because of Miss Pingyu's tough tactics.

In fact, Ping Yu was not unreasonable. She thought that her sisters would be too lazy and inactive on weekdays, so she thought of taking her friends out to go horse racing and walk to stretch their muscles. Both Mrs. Shao and Mrs. Liu were happy to see this. Its success.

Seeing that Tang Bingxuan was still bargaining, Pingyu decided directly, "We have agreed that we will call my second brother, and you call your eldest brother and Jiang Shunian together. We will have a picnic and race horses in the suburbs. It will be better than in a teahouse, I’m much more comfortable in a restaurant.”

"Okay, prepare everything in advance so that we don't have enough to eat by then."

Tang Bingxuan had been dealing with Pingyu for nearly ten years. She understood Pingyu's temperament and stopped forcing her. The matter of horse racing in the countryside was settled like this.

...

Yun Lang made an appointment with Jiang Shunian for a drink at Zuixianju today. Jiang Shunian arrived early, so he simply waited for Yunlang in the private room on the second floor.

Hearing a knock on the door, he thought it was Yun Lang who had arrived. He thought that this boy had finally learned the etiquette of knocking first when entering a door, so he teased: "When did you become so polite? Why don't you come in quickly?"

After saying this, the door of the room was pushed open by someone outside, and it was not Yun Lang who walked in, but Miss Xiang Lian.

"Mr. Jiang, my little girl Xianglian is polite."

Jiang Shunian did not expect that Miss Xianglian, the top star of Zuixianju, would come in and asked in confusion: "Is there something wrong with Miss Xianglian?"

Xianglian looked at Jiang Shunian affectionately with her eyes, and softly explained her purpose of coming, "Mr. Jiang, although the little girl is singing in this Zuixianju, she is a performer and not a prostitute. She just has to do this because of her livelihood. Industry!"

Miss Xianglian had tears in her eyes when she said this, and she couldn't help but said: "The little girl has been in love with Third Master Jiang since the day she met him. I beg Third Master to take pity on Xianglian. Xianglian is willing to be a slave or a maid." Accompany and serve Third Master."

Xianglian has been performing and singing in Zuixianju for three years since she was 13 years old. Seeing that she has reached the age of marriage in her th year, she doesn't want to waste any more time in Zuixianju, so she can only put down her body and ask for it. , hoping that Jiang Shunian could redeem himself and take her into the Yongning Hou Mansion.

During the three years of singing in Zuixianju, Xianglian also met many children of high-ranking officials. The circle of Master Tang San and his entourage was Xianglian's favorite.

These gentlemen from well-known families are not like other dandy boys who bully others with their power, and can be regarded as gentlemen in this Zuixianju.

Until she met Jiang Shunian a year ago, Xianglian, who had thought that this was the end of her life, suddenly fell in love and couldn't help herself, and a feeling of friendship emerged uncontrollably. Xianglian had been reserved and hoped that Mr. Jiang would take the initiative to redeem her life, but she didn't expect that Mr. Jiang had already been granted marriage by imperial edict before she even mentioned it.

Karen felt a little regretful. Although he came from a low background, he couldn't let go of his body to express his feelings to Mr. Jiang. His flirtatious glances for many days seemed to be thrown to a blind man. Mr. Jiang didn't know whether he didn't understand or understood and was indifferent.
