reborn child bride

Chapter 43 Peach Blossom ([-])

And Wei Ying went to the other garden of Mr. Shi's house, received his warm hospitality, and introduced him to the people present, with a very admirable tone.He was really optimistic about Wei Ying, and even tried to get someone to copy his college and township test papers and send them to Beijing to show his father.Every subject will have someone worth citing.Make friends with them at this time, and support them when necessary. These people will be the help of the Shi family in the future.Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion, he invited people to the Bieyuan by himself.Speaking out is nothing more than making friends with literature.

Wei Ying naturally understood all of this.However, he still has a bit of a scholarly spirit, and it is impossible for some people to see the official son as a flattery.The person he chose to associate with was Mr. Shi, and it was also because he was talented and learned, and he was the number one scholar in the previous subject.Moreover, Mr. Shi has a good official reputation, and he is not a corrupt official.

After the poetry meeting that day, he was walking in the back garden of Shijia Bieyuan, and saw a courtyard with winding paths. He wanted to go in and have a look, but was politely dissuaded by the servants of Shijia.He knew that there must be a female relative inside, so he withdrew.

After returning home, Shen Ji asked with a smile: "Master, is your poetry club just a joint poem?"

"Well, almost, today is Qushui Liushang."

"Oh." This Shen Ji understands, a group of people sit by a river, fill their wine glasses with wine, follow the river flow, stop in front of anyone, who will compose a poem according to the topic drawn up today, if they can't do it Just have to drain that big glass of wine before continuing.

"The young master is very popular today?" Wei Ying has a quick mind and writes poems very quickly. Shen Ji had seen this Shen Ji before when he lived in Pei's house and watched him compete with Mr. Pei and other senior brothers in poetry.

Wei Ying smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'm not ashamed." There was a little pride in the smile.

Shen Ji smiled slyly, "Then is there any lady who listened to your poem and secretly wished to meet you in the backyard?"

Wei Ying glared at her, took off his coat, and put on another old one, "What nonsense, is the real Miss Qianjin so self-respecting? You think it's the same as the book you bought."

"Oh."

Shen Ji hung up the coat for him, then went out and brought in the hangover soup.The real Miss Qianjin just doesn't respect herself, so what is it like her who shows up in public for her livelihood?
Wei Ying was very happy today, he was appreciated by Mr. Shi, and met some capable people through him. If he passed the test, he could quickly enter that circle.As for what Xiaoji said, Miss Qianjin secretly agreed after reading his poems, uh, it's not impossible.Isn't there a female family member in the backyard of the Shijia Bieyuan today?

On the evening of the second day, someone came to ask Wei Ying to go swimming in the lake again, seeing that he changed his clothes and went with the visitor, Shen Ji became more and more depressed.

"Sister Ji!" Someone called her from behind, and Shen Ji turned around, "Brother A Biao, it's you. Uncle De went out with the young master, and Aunt De was still looking at the stall and will come back later. You have eaten Is it?"

"I've eaten. Today, the host is serving wine at Yipinxiang to invite the bodyguard who came back this time."

No wonder it smelled of alcohol.

Seeing Shen Ji wrinkling his little nose and sniffing, A Biao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not drunk. There will be a lantern festival tonight, don't you want to go see it?"

Shen Ji hesitated and said, "I'm alone..."

Mrs. Hu Si went to the stall to help after finishing the housework, so Shen Ji was the only one at home and went out to play alone. She was not familiar with her, so she would be troublesome if something happened.

A Biao had just received a red seal of 20 taels of silver, and he took it to his mother to save it for later marriage.Unexpectedly, the arrival was unlucky, and the parents were not there.Seeing Shen Ji sitting alone, he couldn't help but feel a little ready to move, "I'll take you there, I can find it."

Shen Ji scratched his head, a little moved, and Wei Ying also went to see the Lantern Festival.

"Okay, wait for me to change clothes." She took off her apron and went in to change into the new clothes she just made, took it to the door and went out with A Biao.Anyway, she's not a rich lady, so let's just show her face in public.

Passing by a small stall, A Biao bought a gauze hat and handed it to Shen Ji, "Sister Ji, it's better to wear it, there are many people."

Shen Ji was reasonable after thinking about it, "Okay, thank you." He asked how much he spent.

"Every time I come here, you cook delicious food for me. Can I take your money? Didn't you tell me not to treat myself as an outsider? Then don't be polite to me. Besides, don't you call me brother?" .”

The lights of the Lantern Festival are very beautiful, and A Biao even went to buy lotus lanterns for Shen Ji.She wished that modern parents would be safe, Aunt Wei would be safe, that Ying Wei would be able to go to high school in one fell swoop, and that her business would be prosperous, and she solemnly pushed the lotus lantern out like the people next to her.While watching the lamp drifting farther and farther, laughing at myself that the three penny lotus lamp actually made four wishes, and I don't know if it can afford it.

The lotus lantern quickly merged into a sea of ​​lights, and I couldn't find it anymore.

"Look, Miss Ji, the painting boat." A Biao pointed to a gorgeous painting boat slowly approaching in the middle of the river.It looks like it is a painting boat of a rich family, because there are no young women in showy clothes on board, only servants in uniform rowing clothes.But there is no lantern with the surname on it, so I don't know whose family it is.

"It's so beautiful!" Shen Ji praised sincerely.This is not comparable to the imitations in ancient costume films or modern entertainment venues.The captain was about two to three feet long, with a gorgeous and generous shape, and the crimson veil was drooping, and the sound of playing the piano could be heard faintly from inside.This appearance is very dazzling and mysterious.It should be a peerless beauty with a light veil coming out later.

In fact, there is not only this one painting boat in the river, but when this one comes out, the others are all pale.Otherwise, A Biao wouldn't point it out to Shen Ji.

Then there are scholars who are self-confident of both talent and appearance shouting to the painting boat, it is a beautiful thing to combine poems and music in such a dark night.Then someone took a small boat to present their own poems and essays, and soon heard the sound of the qin from the boat, and several girls sang the poems and essays just delivered to the sound of the qin, which was very well timed and suitable for the scene.It seems that the people on board have quite deep musical attainments.At that moment, someone sent poems up again, and the ship was blocked because of this, so it simply anchored on the spot and played one after another.Many students by the river looked at the lights, but no one stumped the people in the boat.

Shen Ji suddenly smiled maliciously, "Brother A Biao, you said that the people on the boat will not be men, you see they all look like they have been injected with chicken blood."

A Biao chuckled, "This is the boat that Miss Qianjin is riding on. How can there be a man on it. If there is a father and brother, then they should have come forward to stop it."

"oh, I see."

Suddenly someone said: "Miss, the poems we are waiting for are difficult for you, but there is a personal song that you will definitely not be able to play."

Shen Ji squinted his eyes to look, and recognized that the person shouting was one of the people who came to see Wei Ying in the afternoon, a literary friend he met recently, and a student who came to rush for the exam.Looking at it this way, we can see Wei Ying standing in the crowd.His attention was also on the boat, and he didn't notice Shen Ji and the two of them.
