Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 107 Two Places of Persuasion
"I originally wanted to help her elder brother step up step by step, so that she could have a helping hand, who knows." The fourth prince blurted out the rest of the sentence: "There is no one available in the Duke's Mansion of Yongguo. Apart from this, I really can't think of it." What else can you do, how can you tell her that I am good to her? How can I give her the kindness I am full of? You have experience in this, what do you say I should do? What should I give her to be good to her? "

"She's a little lady in the inner house." Halfway through the fifth prince's words, he suddenly remembered the calligraphic scripture and the wooden note that only sells Qianchunfang wine now, and he felt sullen, rolled his eyes slightly and said, "What can I do?" You can give her what she likes. For example, Xiao Taohong wants a red gold pendant with diamonds, so I give it to her. Cuihe wants a jade bracelet, so I buy it. Give it to her, everyone is happy!"

"How can you compare her with those smoldering women!" The fourth prince's face darkened suddenly, extremely unhappy, and the fifth prince laughed and said, "Women are all the same, let alone women, aren't men also like this? If you want to make friends with someone, it’s nothing more than the four words, I really don’t mean anything else, it’s not easy to vote for someone, you have to know what she likes first? This one is quite difficult.”

"Yeah." The fourth prince subconsciously touched his sleeves. She likes to embroider beads on veils. Except for her, he has never seen anyone else embroider beads on veils.

"Speaking of it, it's really not easy for our brothers to please others. Except father and mother, who have our brothers please? It's all others who please us. These four words are easy to say, but not easy to do, otherwise The fourth brother should just ask her to explain, or ask someone to come to the door directly, and let this matter go to Ming Road, she will just say a word." The fifth prince's words were casual and extremely irresponsible, and the fourth prince muffled 'huh' He said, "Then what if she refuses?"

"No? How could it be? Fourth Brother, who is handsome, handsome, talented, distinguished, talented, handsome, rich and powerful, would anyone refuse? Impossible!" The fifth prince spread his hands, I don't believe it, the fourth prince leaned towards him, the fifth prince touched the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "Let me be honest, don't worry, fourth brother, I really don't see what's so good about that fifth lady. She looks good, but she is not so beautiful. The fourth brother said that she looks like the wind blowing through the lotus pond. She looks a little bit stinky from a distance, but I heard that she can't write or write, so what kind of beauty is she without talent? I don’t think any of the big girls who serve fourth brother is worse than her, and fourth brother usually has too strict self-discipline, so when he sees a similar one, he is astonished as a heavenly being.”

The fourth prince looked at the fifth prince with a gloomy face, and the fifth prince spread his hands and said innocently: "I have never talked with the fourth brother, and the fourth brother also knows my temper. I’ll give you the beauties I love, compare yourself, and I’ll pick them out for you, not only for their beauty, but also for their skill in bed, and you have to be a virgin, how about it?”

"You can keep it for yourself, I can't bear it." The fourth prince refused politely.

"It's up to you, if you don't want it, don't. Let me tell you, this beauty is like this. Look at it from a distance. Before you can get it, it's all good. If you really get it, that's all. Just follow When we were young, we wanted to eat that pork belly, and watched eagerly as the guards in front of the palace ate so deliciously that our mouths were watering. Later, when we got a reward, we gulped it down and almost didn’t spit it out. Women, just follow this principle and get started. That's it, that's it, fourth brother really doesn't want to be so caring." The fifth prince said that I am someone from here, don't you believe it.

The fourth prince was too lazy to even look at him. The fifth prince stood up and filled the fourth prince with wine, raised his glass and signaled to him: "Drinking and drinking, the fourth brother should really be more knowledgeable, we two are so dry Drinking is boring, and it's too deserted. There are two new ladies from the Red Chamber, from Yangzhou, biting their tongues and singing official dialects. They have a different flavor. I'll ask them to come over and sing a few tunes for us to listen to. "

"Listen yourself, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." The fourth prince didn't talk to the fifth prince, and he didn't want to stay longer. After drinking the wine in his glass, he stood up and walked out. The fifth prince hurriedly got up and sent him I went downstairs, watched him get on his horse and walked away, took a few steps back, stood in the shadow, looked up at the starry sky, stayed there for a while, and then walked lazily into the backyard with hands behind our backs.

The twelfth lunar month is the busiest time for Li Tian every year, and this year is the same, but after every day, no matter how late it is, before going to bed, Li Tian and Yingluo and the others have to figure out where the aunt's family should be, and look forward to it. With this only family member hurried to Beijing to make decisions for himself.

A few days after the winter solstice, the concierge led a dusty steward into the Qingtong courtyard. Li Tian heard that he was sent by his aunt, so he hurriedly ordered him to come in. The steward entered the room and knelt and kowtowed. Said: "Manager Zhao has worked hard, get up, sit down and talk." Manager Zhao got up, leaned over and sat down on the first chair, put his hands on his knees, and replied respectfully: "Go back to Wu Niangzi, the master and wife sent you The little starry night came here all the way to tell Wu Niangzi that it has snowed heavily in Xuzhou this year, and the snow fell before the master and wife arrived in Xuzhou. Since mid-November, it has snowed heavily It has been snowing for more than ten days in a row, and the snow on the road is several feet deep. It is said that there has not been such a heavy snowfall in decades. Let’s go to Beijing and tell Wu Niangzi, the master and wife are only afraid that they will get the Xuehua road before they can leave.”

Li Tian was stunned for a moment in disappointment, looked at Guanshi Zhao and asked, "Did the official say hello?"

"Go back to Fifth Lady, the master has written a note, and the younger one will be sent to the official department later." Manager Zhao smiled, his expression seemed to be more respectful, and Li Tian said 'huh': "After finishing these two On an errand, should you go back or stay in the capital? What did your uncle and aunt tell you?"

"The master and the wife ordered the younger one to stay in the capital and listen to Fifth Lady's orders."

"Since that's the case, you go to the Ministry of Officials to hand in the paperwork first, and then go back and tidy up the Jiang mansion with Cao Si. When you are free, let Cao Si take you around. You have been working abroad with your uncle and aunt for more than ten years. The people and things in this capital are very unfamiliar, so take advantage of this time to get acquainted with Cao Si first."

Manager Zhao's eyes lit up, he hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "Thank you Fifth Lady."

"Well, go to the official department quickly." Li Tian ordered, Manager Zhao agreed, and bowed his hands respectfully and retreated.

Li Tian sat upright for a while, then sighed in disappointment, leaned on the kang and said gloomily, "It's snowing so heavily, and the first month will come out after the snow melts. Only then can we enter the capital."

"Such a heavy snowfall, is it considered a snow disaster?" Yue Niang suddenly said, Li Tian gave a absent-minded 'hmm', Cao Si's wife thought about it and asked: "With such heavy snow, next year's harvest may be good, do you want to let it go?" People used to collect some food in advance? I'm afraid it will be much cheaper."

"No need." Li Tian thought for a while with serious eyes and said, "We've only managed to succeed in the past two years. Send a letter to the shop on the side of Xuzhou. Don't fall behind when giving porridge and medicine, and don't rush to the front. Just stand You have to stay ahead and go with the crowd." Fourth Cao's wife agreed, and Yue Niang looked at Li Tian and said, "You are too careful."

"Hey, be careful with the ten thousand year boat." Li Tian sighed old-fashionedly.Yue Niang frowned and said, "Didn't that fourth master tell Miss Zhu's family, what else do you have to worry about?"

"On the day of Mrs. Sun's birthday, why did you insist on calling me over? In the inner hall that day, except for those seventy and eighty-year-old, incomparably noble ladies and old ladies, it was just me and Second Lady Zhu. Don't you think it's strange? Send me away again. Going out with the second lady Zhu, the fourth master and the second lady of the Zhu family were in the pavilion by the lake, the fifth master said something, the fourth master thought it was me, listen, how weird you think about this. For a person like the old lady, every word and every thing has a deep meaning, and you have to think carefully!" Li Tian explained.

"No matter how deep she is, what else can she do? The fourth master can't marry two daughters-in-law. She really wants to take you there to be a concubine? Isn't that a dream? Since the old lady is a smart person, she should know that you must not be used as a concubine. Concubine, not to mention the prince, even the emperor!" Yue Niang's words were as straightforward as ever, and Yingluo sighed worriedly: "If we really want to make such a scene, how can Fifth Lady marry?"

"Between February and March next year at most, the marriage of the fourth prince will definitely be finalized. From the engagement to the opening of the mansion, it will take half a year no matter how fast, and the marriage will not be until August or September next year at the earliest. The first month of marriage There is absolutely no reason to take a concubine, so counting, nothing will happen until October next year, as long as we can get married before October next year, this matter will be avoided." Li Tian counted the days little by little, Yue Niang Leaning on the chair and looking at her for a long time, youyou sighed and said, "Sister Tian, ​​it's only been a year since your grandma passed away, and you've aged quite a bit. Don't frown. Wrinkled, don’t think so much, what can you do? It’s really impossible, I’ll take you to the rivers and lakes. Didn’t you say that you can go all the way to the south in a sea boat, and there are people who have land? If it’s impossible, let’s go to sea, and being a pirate is not bad. "

"Aren't you seasick?" Li Tian asked with his hands on his brows, Yue Niang suffocated, and said with a chuckle: "That's because there are too few rides on the boat, just sit more. I'm so good at kung fu, I'm afraid What seasickness? Don't look so sad, I feel uncomfortable watching it."

"Well, okay, I don't have to worry anymore." Li Tian was warmed up by Yue Niang's words, and smiled at Yue Niang submissively.
