Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 58 The Jiang Family Club (1)

Jiang Shan, Lin Ke, Mrs. Xu's niece and Mrs. Xu's youngest daughter, Xu Jie, were sitting in Luoyuxuan. Lin Ke was sitting closest to the door. While talking, she looked towards the door and saw Li Tian coming from afar. Jumped up hurriedly and said: "Sister Tian is here, you sit down, I will pick her up." Before she finished speaking, the person jumped out of the door, Jiang Shan stretched out her hand to hold Xu Jie up and smiled and said, "Let's welcome her too. It looks like Yaoyao is the latest to arrive today."

Xu Jie came out behind Jiang Shan, Lin Ke had already greeted Li Tian and Li Yunshang, bowed his knees to greet Li Yunshang, pulled Li Tian with a smile and said, "I've got a good job, let's meet in the back garden later. I help transcribe poems, Sister Shan doesn’t know how to write those poems, can Third Sister write poems?” Lin Ke’s smile was as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate, Li Yunshang and her have met several times, which is considered extremely I'm familiar with it, I quickly shook my head and said with a smile: "I don't know how to do it either, do you still want to compose poetry?"

"It's not a must. If you get a good sentence, write it out for everyone to comment on. If you don't come up with it, don't write it." Li Tian smiled and comforted, and pulled Li Yunshang to introduce it to Jiang Shan and Xu Lin Ke pulled Li Yunshang and said with a smile: "From what you say, you must be someone who can write poems. I must write a few poems in a while. The second aunt said that the young lady who came today, except for me and Sister Tian Anyone who receives an errand like this has to write a few poems!"

Li Yunshang's face changed slightly with fright, and she hurriedly looked at Li Tian. Jiang Shan raised her hand and knocked on Lin Ke's forehead to blame: "You're talking nonsense again. When did the second aunt say that? I only heard her tell you and me Take good care of all the little ladies, just play and eat!" Lin Ke hid behind Li Tian with a smile, pushed Li Yunshang and said, "Don't listen to her, I just want to make poetry, I said that!" Li Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief, Li Tian ignored Lin Ke's playfulness, and pulled Li Yunshang to introduce: "This is my third sister, her boudoir name is Yunshang, Yun Zhishang, this is the seventh lady of the Jiang family, her boudoir name is Shan This is the sixth lady of Xu Xueshi's mansion, her boudoir name is Jie, she is only 14 years old, a few months younger than A Ke."

Li Yunshang greeted the two of them, Jiang Shan pulled Li Yunshang affectionately, and they entered Luoyuxuan together, took their seats, Li Tian pointed at Xu Jie and smiled, "Liu Niangzi also loves the piano, she plays it very well. "Xu Jie was gentle and introverted, looked at Li Yunshang and said politely with a little shyness: "You can't play well, sister Tian is flattering you."

Lin Ke clapped his hands and said, "Ah Jie is modest. You can play the piano so well, but you can't be called good? Sister Yunshang's piano is also very good. Sister Yunshang is Mr. Shui's disciple."

"Mr. Shui? Is water worship?" Xu Jie's eyes lit up, she looked at Li Yunshang and said in surprise, Li Yunshang nodded, and said embarrassedly: "I am not a disciple, but I am learning fingering from Mr. Shui. Mr. Shui said that I am not stylish enough. I can't play some tunes."

"Mr. Shui said that to me before." Xu Jie hurriedly said as if she had found a bosom friend: "At that time, my mother wanted to ask Mr. Shui to teach me, and Mr. Shui also said the same thing. Mr. Shui also said that I could not learn from her." Appropriate, if you want to learn, you should also learn from Liu Gongfeng."

"Mr. Shui also told me that, and he also said that Liu Gongfeng's piano fingering is exquisite, and the tune is exquisite and small, which is most suitable for me." The more Li Yunshang and Xu Jie talked, the more speculative they became, and they simply sat together and studied fingering seriously. Here comes the sheet music.

Li Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yunshang and Xu Jie have similar temperaments and the same hobbies. With Xu Jie's company, Li Yunshang will not be embarrassed and uncomfortable at today's flower show. Being able to make friends with Xu Jie is a person who can move around frequently of.

It was getting late and there were more and more guests. There were no unmarried ladies in Jiang Shangshu's house. Jiang Shan and Lin Ke took on the responsibility of entertaining the ladies from various families. They could no longer sit and talk in Luoyuxuan. Luo Yuxuan waited until Yu Yaofang, and entered the back garden with Xu Jie and Li Yunshang.

Today’s Huahui Wenhui in Xu’s Mansion is ingenious. Men and women look at each other across the lake. They can see but can’t see clearly. When a topic rhymes, both sides are the same. If there are good poems and words, they will be passed back and forth from the lake. , or kabuki holding clouds, banqin and Xiao, etc., singing the good words and sentences written by the talented men and women on the boat in the lake.

Jiang Shangshu's wife, Mrs. Yuan, was secretly relieved when she saw that everything was in order. This year's flower fair mainly focuses on reading poetry and reciting poems. Most of the people invited by the lake are noble and knowledgeable people from the court, middle and high school, and young men from various families. Most of the female family members are young ladies from various families. The women in this dynasty are just like the men, and they are judged by their talents. Because the Jiang family has such a unique literary society, and most of them are young ladies who came here just to make a name for themselves. There were not many elderly wives and old wives, so Madam Yuan let the daughter-in-laws busy, and she sat with Princess Jiang Jun, Jiang Hong's mother Cui, Xu Sihai's mother Gao, Xu Xueshi's wife Huang, and others. talking.

"... Is Aunt Yaoyao better? I've been busy with the flower fair. I haven't visited her since she moved out of the city." Mrs. Yuan looked at Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Huang and said, Mrs. Huang responded with a smile Said: "Bodhisattva bless you, it's much better. Yesterday, Taiyi Hu sent a pulse case. Our master saw it and said it's much better."

"Just now I asked Yaoyao, and said that her aunt had eaten half a bowl of porridge early today, and she even helped her choose clothes. Since she moved outside the city, she has really seen each other better day by day." After saying a word, Mrs. Cui clasped her hands together and recited a Buddhist saying: "For a kind person like Mrs. Xu, Bodhisattva bless her, and she will be cured of this disease."

"I'll see you when you move out of the city." Mrs. Yuan sighed with something in her words: "The Qingjiang Hou's mansion is also..." Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Yuan sighed again. Mrs. Cui remembered the flower fair and held back. He couldn't help laughing and asked: "Speaking of the Qingjiang Marquis Mansion, what happened to the wife from the previous son?"

"This matter." Princess Jiang glanced at Mrs. Gao who was frowning and Mrs. Huang who was already angry, sighed, lowered her voice slightly, and explained to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Cui: "Aunt Yaoyao's The illness, I am afraid it was caused by the above. Yu Shengshi favored a concubine from a lowly background, and spoiled him to no end, because this had countless right and wrong. Yu Shengshi actually surpassed Chen Yaoyao's illness. Ma'am, let this little concubine be the host of the middle school, and she actually called her "wife" inside and out. At the flower party the other day, that woman actually told me, "Our wife is waiting for the princess." Listen, she actually told me It's a matter of peers."

"You're fine." Mrs. Cui said with a smile and helplessness: "The woman told me 'our wife is waiting for my wife', listen to me, I'm confused by this tongue."

Mrs. Yuan turned to look at Mrs. Huang with a strange expression, "This is about pampering my concubine and destroying my wife. This matter...it is your girl from the Xu family."

"Hey!" Mrs. Huang glanced at Mrs. Gao, and sighed heavily: "I understand what Ma'am said, we girls from the Xu family absolutely have no reason to be bullied like this, but these words... well, we are not outsiders , I don’t hide it from you, I’ve talked to our master about this many times, and you all know that our master is only a direct sister, it really hurts, no matter what, as long as our girl says something, our master will definitely be There is no one who does not nod."

Princess Jiang hurriedly nodded in agreement, she knew best about this matter, Jiang Hong was able to worship under Xu Xueshi, it was Madam Xu who said something.

"But our girl... is just too virtuous! No matter what happened to the Yu family, I never heard her say a single word. In the first month, Aunt Hong made trouble, but Yaoyao was so angry that she told me, I'm nervous I hurried over, who knew that our girl didn't say 'no' at all, and stopped me to just praise her, and there is no bad thing in Qingjianghou's house." Mrs. Huang sighed heavily annoyed He took a deep breath, spread his hands and said angrily: "She is so virtuous, what can I do if I am annoyed?"

Mrs. Cui looked at Mrs. Gao in surprise, and Mrs. Gao nodded helplessly. Mrs. Yuan and Concubine Jiang had frequented Mrs. Xu and knew her very well. They knew that Mrs. Huang was telling the truth. There was nothing to say, after a long while, Mrs. Yuan sighed inexplicably, Princess Jiang frowned and said: "She is also a fool, she should think for Yaoyao, not for herself."

"That's not it." Mrs. Huang said angrily and pitifully: "Fortunately, Yaoyao has a clear temper and a clear personality, so she doesn't really follow her."

"Yaoyao is rare." Princess Jiang praised with a smile.

"I think these girls are all good." Mrs. Cui pointed to Lin Ke, Li Tian and others who were sitting or standing joking not far away and said with a smile, "Sister Shan praises me every day about how Sister Tian is?" Okay, how good is Yaoyao, how good is A Ke, how good is A Jie, and how good is this capital."

"Tian Tian is getting calmer and more stable." Madam Gao looked at Li Tian from a distance and praised, "No, Sister Tian is really kind." Madam Huang also praised with emotion, pointing to stand with Xu Jie. In one place, head to head, Li Yunshang asked with a very affectionate attitude: "Which little lady is talking with Ajie? I don't see it."

Concubine Jiangjun hurriedly turned her head to look at the second daughter-in-law Xu who was standing next to her, and Second Grandma Xu replied with a smile: "It's the third lady from Duke Yong, who came with Sister Tian."

"From Duke Yong's mansion?" Mrs. Yuan was astonished and surprised. Concubine Jiangjun hesitated a little, and explained with a smile: "Sister Tian is a safe and sensible person. If she brought it, this third lady must also be a Safe man."

"That's true." Mrs. Huang agreed, looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "I haven't seen anyone in Duke Yong's mansion for many years. I heard that Mrs. Yong is a girl from the Yang family in southern Sichuan. She has a good reputation, let's have a look at her?"

Everyone nodded, Second Grandma Xu went over to greet Li Yunshang in person, Princess Jiangjun looked at Mrs. Huang and joked: "I'm going to be picky about what you said, isn't Sister Tian from Yongguo Gong's mansion?"

"It's true to say that Sister Tian is a direct descendant of Duke Yong's mansion, but I, like Mrs. Huang, think that Duke Yong's mansion is Duke Yong's mansion, and Sister Tian is Sister Tian. Madam Yuan took the words and said with a smile, Madam Huang hurriedly laughed and said: "That's right!" Princess Jiangjun was about to joke again, when Grandma Xu had already led Li Yunshang and Xu Jie over.

Seeing Xu Jie holding Li Yunshang's hand, Princess Jiang winked at Second Grandma Xu, indicating that she does not need to introduce her. She looked at Xu Jie and smiled and said, "Ah Jie has made new friends, so why don't you introduce us?"

Xu Jie smiled shyly, pulled Li Yunshang and said in a soft voice: "This is the third lady of Yongguo Duke's Mansion, her boudoir name is Yunshang, Yun Zhishang, she also loves the piano." Xu Jie paused, and took Li Yunshang first. She pulled to Madam Yuan and introduced, "This is Madam Yuan, the second aunt of Sister Shan, and the second aunt of Sister Ke."

Madam Yuan burst out laughing, pointed at Xu Jie and Madam Huang and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've heard someone introduce me like this. Take a look, the children look at us, we are all elders of so and so." Saying this, she waved to Li Yunshang and said: "Come here and let me have a look." Li Yunshang stepped forward slightly nervously and bent her knees again. Madam Yuan stretched out her hand to lift her up and said with a smile, "You don't need to be so polite, how old are you?"

"Seventeen." Li Yunshang hurriedly replied, "Has the in-laws agreed?"

"Not yet." Li Yunshang's face flushed with embarrassment, and although her voice was low, she could still be heard clearly. Princess Jiangjun smiled and said, "Look at you, if you come up and ask people if they are looking for a husband's family, you are not afraid to say that I'm scared away, come here and have a look, I'm A Ke's aunt." Princess Jiang introduced herself following Xu Jie's routine, Madam Yuan let go of Li Yunshang, Li Yunshang had been famous for Princess Jiang for a long time, Qu After kneeling and saluting, I was so nervous that I didn't know what to say.
