Yutai Bi

Chapter 114 The Book of Songs
Xia Chu smiled and said: "Tomorrow, when the young lady returns home, she can use the heads given by the Tai Furen and the madam. Young madam, the servant's eyes are straightened when she sees those two sets of heads. The eldest lady doesn't even have such a delicate head. .”

The eldest lady in her mouth refers to little Webster.The wife of the governor is not less expensive.Cen Sanniang was a little surprised: "Why is there no eldest aunt?"

Knowing that she was talking too much, Xia Chu stuck out her tongue and said softly: "Madam will never lack precious jewellery. The servant girl said that she has never seen such exquisite craftsmanship. That set of emerald crowns does not have the craftsmanship of the palace. It can’t be done. It must have been left by the old man before.”

"Looking at the quality, it doesn't look like Mrs. Tai has used it before." Cen Sanniang asked Xia Chu to take it out after thinking about it.

The color of emerald crown and emerald blue is brand new at first glance.Cen Sanniang took out the Diancui hairpin she had received from King Teng from the dressing box and compared it, she became suspicious: "The Duke's mansion still has the financial resources to create such a precious Diancui crown?"

There are few people in the Duke's mansion, even if she doesn't say anything, Xia Chu and the others know it in their hearts.Xia Chu said in a low voice: "There are still three catties of nails on the rotten boat, the Duke's Mansion may not have as thin a family property as we imagined."

At this moment, Du Yansui walked in, glanced at the jewelry on the table, and then at Chu Xia.

Blessed by Xia Chu's sense of humor, he went out.

He smiled and said, "Are you counting the gifts you received?"

Cen Sanniang nodded.

Du Yansui lightly brushed the Diancui crown with his fingers, thinking of the jewelry that his grandmother let him pawn, he felt a little sad.With a smile on his face: "I remember you like Diancui very much."

On the table is a Diancui crown and a branch of Diancui hairpin.Cen Sanniang asked him casually: "I remember you sent this branch of emerald green hairpin to Cen's residence back then."

"Yes, at that time you insisted not to accept it." Du Yansui smiled and changed the subject: "Sanniang, you are very good at dressing up. This haircut with a lotus bun is very beautiful."

"Really? Just as long as you don't lose face." Cen Sanniang looked at him suspiciously, feeling that something was wrong with Du Yansui.

Seeing that his eyes still glanced at the green crown from time to time, Cen Sanniang asked tentatively: "You are thinking that King Teng gave me a little green hairpin, so you are urging grandma to give me the green crown, right?"

Du Yansui looked away uncomfortably, and denied it: "I can't decide what grandma wants to give you. I called a soft sedan chair, and it takes half an hour to go to the ancestral hall, so let's go."

Then go outside.

Cen Sanniang burst out laughing from behind.

Du Yansui turned around angrily, and saw her staring at him with clear eyes, with obvious banter inside.The snow-white skin has a slight blush, which is extremely beautiful.He was a little embarrassed, but also a little surprised, the corners of his lips curled up inadvertently, as if he wanted to deny it but couldn't say anything.

He watched her approaching helplessly, smelling the faint fragrance of powder in his nose, and let her reach out and hug his waist.

"If you keep being nice to me, I won't leave."

The soft voice knocked on his heart, and Du Yansui closed his eyes.

"But you don't like me."

He heard his own voice, helpless and sad.Du Yansui couldn't help but push her away, turned around and said, "I promised you..."

Cen Sanniang glared at him bitterly, she had never seen such an awkward man.

Pass him and go outside.Passing by his side, I was so angry that I raised my foot and stepped on it: "If you don't like you, you can't find a way to make me like you? Stupid!"

Du Yansui looked at her stupidly, as if she didn't understand.

Cen Sanniang burst out laughing, glared at him, raised her head and lifted the curtain to go out.

Du Yan Suipi gritted her teeth and took a deep breath: "It's really hard to step on... I'm pretending to be stupid to let you know how much I like you." As he spoke, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

The worship of the ancestral hall was presided over by the head of the clan, Du Hansong, and several elders of the clan were present.Let Cen Sanniang kneel down and pay homage to the incense, and then write her name in the genealogy, and that's it.

After returning home for dinner, Cen Sanniang summoned Mother Fang to count the gifts received in return.

After Du Yansui took a bath and changed clothes, she still heard the crackling of the abacus in the living room when she came out, so she couldn't help but smile.

He glanced at the hourglass, and said through the door curtain: "Sanniang, go and see Bei's return gift after you finish your work, and see if it's all right."

Ah Qiu stopped planning, and asked Cen Sanniang with his eyes.

"You guys go ahead, calculate it and record it in the account book, I'll look back later." Cen Sanniang stood up, raised the curtain and stood at the door and asked Du Yansui, "Shall we go and see now?"

The return ceremony was prepared by the Du family.Cen Sanniang does not have deep feelings for the Li family and the Cen family.Whether the Du family's preparations are thoughtful, to her, only means whether Du Yansui values ​​herself.The Li family will also know whether the married daughter is doing well by watching the return ceremony.

Since Du Yansui took the initiative to let him take a look in advance, he must not be one of the four treasures of the study for a tael of silver.Is this guy trying to show off?Cen Sanniang decided to give him this chance.

She already planned to stay, and she couldn't let go of any chance to get to know each other better.

"Let's go." Du Yansui came out and led her to the west wing.

Pushing open the door, Du Yansui lit the lamp.

Cen Sanniang entered the room curiously, this was the first time she entered Du Yansui's study.The two rooms in the west wing are connected into one, which looks extraordinarily spacious.

Next to the window is a large desk, and there is a large row of bookshelves against the wall.Calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings hang on the wall, as well as Du Yansui's official uniform and Qianniu knife.She noticed that there was a piece of paper on the desk with words written on it, obviously Du Yansui hadn't written it for a long time.

Cen Sanniang was interested, so she walked over to have a look.

Chinese writing was basically formed almost at the end of the Han Dynasty.The regular script used in the Tang Dynasty was nothing but traditional characters.Cen Sanniang got used to it after reading for a long time, and it was easy to recognize what was written.Although she can't memorize all the ancient poems, she still knows the famous sentences in these poems.

Du Yansui said very casually: "I have read some military books and memorized some experiences."

Cen Sanniang pointed at the paper: "What you wrote is your experience in reading military books?" Coax the ghosts away?Do you think I am illiterate and illiterate?
Du Yansui nodded seriously: "That's right, my experience in reading military secretaries. Sanniang, you can't read? Isn't that right? I remember that when I was in Hongzhou, Baicao asked me to help you find some scriptures to pass the time. "

Cen Sanniang was angry: "You're just talking nonsense. What reading experience, you clearly wrote the Book of Songs."

"Huh, did I remember wrong?" Du Yansui leaned over to look, and suddenly realized, "I've been so busy for the past two days that I got dizzy. What I wrote yesterday is my experience. This is what I wrote today. How is my handwriting?"

Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart... Does he want to read love poems or his words?Cen Sanniang looked up at him, Du Yansui looked serious.It's just that he is so close to her, his eyes are very bright.This trick is really not enough for my sister.Cen Sanniang replied with a smile: "It's much more neat than what I wrote."

"Oh." Du Yansui gritted her teeth secretly.It wasn't obvious enough what he meant?

Cen Sanniang slid away like a fish, pointed at the gifts piled up beside her and said, "Have you prepared so many?"

"Yeah." Seeing her change the subject, Du Yansui was a little upset.Thinking of her proactive hug in the afternoon, he would be really stupid if he didn't strike while the iron was hot.

He walked over slowly: "Grandfather is a jade head and a jar of imperial wine. Grandmother and eldest aunt are two pieces of clothing. The two cousins ​​each have a jade pendant. Li Shangzhi is a sword, a craft from overseas." , He has thought about it for a long time. In addition, I have prepared a jar of royal wine and two pieces of clothing for your second uncle and aunt. I heard that your second cousin loves music, and that Xiangfei bamboo flute is specially used by palace musicians. I like it. The reward servant has prepared a purse of fifty eight cents silver, think about it, is there anything missing?"

"It's really thoughtful." Cen Sanniang praised him, and felt guilty in her heart.Du Yansui was very thoughtful, and he knew how to socialize and give gifts when he was with King Teng. Did he ask himself to confirm, or was it the book of poems he wrote?She made up her mind to pretend to be stupid, and walked out with a smile, "I don't really know much about giving gifts in return. You are more thoughtful than I am, so don't ask me to come and see."

Seemingly unintentional, Du Yansui stepped in front of her, looking at the calligraphy and painting on the wall: "San Niang, I want to know... are you really willing to stay?"

"En." Cen Sanniang nodded.Seeing that he didn't move away, I wanted to laugh, "Is there any other calligraphy you want me to admire?"

"No." Du Yansui's face instantly burned like it was on fire.

"Then I'm going back to my room." Cen Sanniang suppressed a smile, lowered her head and walked around him, opened the door and left.

Du Yansui was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled: "This girl is trying to imitate me, isn't she?"

Back in the main room, Mother Fang saw Cen Sanniang's blushing face, winked at Ah Qiu and Xia Chu, and went up to her: "Young Madam, the account is settled, let Ah Qiu take it back and register it, and I will give it to you tomorrow." Let's take a look."

Glancing at the hourglass, Cen Sanniang nodded: "Okay. When I return home tomorrow, Ah Qiu and Xia Chu will follow me, and it's hard work for Fang's mother to look after the house. After tomorrow, let's take care of things in the yard."

"Yes." The three packed up their things, saluted and left.

There was a certain distance between the main room and the east and west wing rooms, and Cen Sanniang was not used to having maids on duty outside at night, so they prepared tea and other things, and the three of them went back to rest.

Cen Sanniang entered the bedroom, picked up the quilt and pillows from the bed, put them neatly on the Luohan couch, hummed a song and went to clean the room.

She decided to stay, but she didn't decide to let the body who was under 16 have sex with Du Yansui.Thinking of getting married at the age of 15, she felt ashamed.
