Chapter 86 The Cousin Meets the Prime Minister (2)
Ruoxi has a good impression of this cousin, and it can be seen that he is a good-tempered person.She ordered Qingyu to serve tea, glanced at the envelope and knew it was from Lue, and she was not in a hurry to open it to read.

"Just when I entered the yard, I heard the sound of a piano. It was my cousin playing it. I don't know what it is, but my cousin continued to play it, and I enjoyed it." He caught a glimpse of a piano on the table and said with a smile.

"This piano is already in the house, and I don't know who it belongs to?" Ruoxi asked while plucking the strings, "One of the strings on it is loose, it seems that no one has played it for a long time. I have nothing to do when I'm free." Things are going to relieve boredom, but my cousin can hear it as a joke."

Chen Huanchen hurriedly replied after hearing the words: "This yard was originally lived by the elder sister, and she was vacant after she got married. My mother asked her to learn to play the piano, calligraphy and painting, but she was born with five-tone insufficiency, so this piano was put on the shelf. So I also I once heard my second sister play it, not to mention her, but everyone who listened to it thought it was a kind of torture. If you say that the eldest sister is stupid, but she is good at calligraphy and painting, it shows that learning the piano requires talent."

Seeing that the teacup on the table was empty, he ordered Qingyu to make a pot of tea.After hearing this, Qingyu walked to the door, summoned the little girl to make tea, and then came back.

"This girl is so lazy. Master Ming ordered you to make tea, but you will push it to others." These days, he often came to this yard to greet the old lady. Knowing that Qingyu was Ruoxi's personal girl, he followed her Just kidding.

After hearing this, Qingyu said: "The servant girl is the maidservant of the girl. I obeyed Master Biao's orders and went down to make tea. How can I do it without anyone around the girl?"

"You girl still talk back to your cousin, you're really spoiled by me!" How could Ruoxi fail to understand what was on that girl's mind?She was afraid that if she and Liu Huanchen were in the room together, she would cause some gossip and ruin her reputation.Although they are cousins, the morals of this world pay attention to the closeness of each other.Are they not afraid of giving birth to stupid sons?How foolish!

But fortunately, this second cousin is a bit naive, he always looks at Ruoxi with clear eyes, otherwise Ruoxi wouldn't take care of him.

"Cousin, don't scold her, it's a pity that you are the only master in her heart." He smiled and said good things for Qingyu, but Qingyu curled her lips ungratefully.

"My cousin said that my grandmother received the letter from home, so I'd better go and have a look. We have to go back after some time. As for playing the piano, let's talk about it later. I heard that my cousin will follow us back to take the big exam, and when you win the toad palace I will let you listen enough!" Ruoxi smiled and stood up.

He scratched the back of his head and smiled and replied: "I have to study hard because of what my cousin said!" After he got up and went back, he really had to take out the book and read it meticulously.

Ruoxi smiled noncommittally, took Qingyu to the old lady's room, and saw the old lady was reading the letter.

"Jiu girl, come here quickly, your seventh sister is married to someone." The old lady was smiling, probably very satisfied with Ruoting's marriage.

Ruoxi has already guessed the other party's identity, it must be the son of the cabinet attendant.Sure enough, the old lady put down the letter and said with a smile: "You have met her mother-in-law, she is the Mrs. Wang I met in the Liu Mansion last time. She fell in love with Qiyatou at a glance, and sent someone to talk to her before we came. Unexpectedly, their family is really impatient, so they decided the date according to the horoscope. We will go back in two days, just in time for the seventh girl's wedding!" After that, she was asked to go back to pack her things and prepare to go back.

When the old man heard that they were going back, he naturally tried to persuade them to stay, but the Han family had no choice but to go back if they wanted to marry a girl.In addition, seeing that the big exam was approaching, Liu Huanchen had to follow them to the capital for the exam, so he had better leave early to avoid delays.

The old man called his son to him and repeatedly told him that the capital is full of high-ranking officials, so they must not act recklessly and cause trouble for the old aunt's family.If I can be lucky enough to go to high school, I will stay at my aunt's house and beg my uncle to be a Beijing official in the imperial court.As for money, let him not worry, the family is prepared.

It turned out that the Liu Mansion could barely be regarded as a first-class family in the local area, but if it was placed in the capital, it would become a low-class family.So they have been trying to become a Beijing official for generations. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to be officials.Don't care how many ranks it is, at least seeing first-rank officials is better than staying in the south and having connections.

Counting from the elder master's generation, none of them could get into the capital.Liu Huanchen is the only one among his grandchildren who likes to study. Last year, he won the top three in the provincial examination. The hopes of the whole government are placed on him.

But even if this is a high school, if you want to be an official in the capital, you still need someone to support and help you operate.This time the old lady came back to worship the ancestors, and the eldest lady served her like a little daughter-in-law. It cannot but be said that there was an element of flattery in it.

After everything was ready, the old lady waited for others and set out on the road.With one more person, the girl, wife, and luggage all have a lot more, so Han Xuan is naturally very happy to see someone as a company.He also rolled over from the big exam, and he shared his experience along the way, which benefited Liu Huanchen a lot.

On this day, seeing the bad weather, the experienced boatman stopped at the pier for fear of strong waves at sea.The old lady ate fish and shrimp on the boat for several days and felt very tired.Han Xuan took the boy ashore to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits, and left Huanchen to take care of them on the boat.

Unexpectedly, before he came back, the black clouds in the sky surged up, and the heavy rain fell without warning.Fortunately, Ruoxi and the others are on a big boat, so they don't need to worry about being in the harbor.The old lady couldn't help being glad that she had listened to the boatman's words, otherwise it would be dangerous to encounter such heavy rain while driving in the sea.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, almost like half of it was poured from the sky.Suddenly there was a gust of wind again, and the boatmen who were familiar with water skills did not dare to stand on the side of the boat, for fear of being blown into the sea by the wind.

The iron chains that tied the big boat rattled, and the boatman hurriedly took his men to brave the wind and rain to add another iron chain.The boatman was a red-faced man in his fifties, and he had encountered some storms at sea, but none of them were as big as this one.It's a good thing they didn't go on the road, otherwise the crew of this boat would have confessed.

"Look, there are people in the sea!" Ruoxi was talking with the old lady in the cabin, when she heard the boatman outside shouting.

It was pouring rain outside, and there were five or six boats docked in the harbor, and a few people stood on the side of the boat in coir raincoats to watch the fun.From a distance, I saw a few black spots on the sea that were ups and downs. Someone must have fallen into the water.If it was in the past, someone would have jumped down to save people.But right now it is raining and windy, even a master of water mallard would not dare to take the risk.

Ruoxi and the old lady didn't know what was going on outside, they were wondering when Huanchen came in covered in water.

"It should be that a boat sank and a few people fell into the sea." He wiped the water off his face and replied, "But in this situation, no one dares to go into the water to save people. I'm afraid those people will have to confess."

"Amitabha, God has the virtue of loving life, how can he refuse to save him?" The old lady was always merciful, and she couldn't help frowning after hearing these words.
