Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 105

When I went back at night, Su Jingsen was very embarrassed to talk about the matter in the theater, and the fourth prince laughed immediately: "I was negligent, and I should have sent someone to tell you about the matter in the capital."

As he said that, he called a servant to come in, and introduced to Su Jingsen: "This is the little six in my house. He likes to inquire about some delicious and interesting things on weekdays. Let him take you around tomorrow. What's the matter?" If you want to buy what you want, you can just tell me later. Besides, I don’t know if Brother Zhiping and Brother Zhi’an are free these two days.”

Su Zhiping hurriedly got up and saluted: "What's the matter with the Fourth Highness, just ask, my second brother and I are fine."

"Well, it's not that I have something to do, it's just that spring is approaching, and there are many students and bachelors in the capital. You don't know much about it when you first come to the capital. There are restaurants like Zhuangyuan Building and teahouses like Baihe Tower in the capital. There are quite a few students there discussing articles and the like, if you have nothing to do, you can go to those places for a stroll. It just so happens that Cao Degui is familiar with the capital, so it would be good for you to let him bring some insight.”

Now that the Su family is already on their side, the fourth prince will not be stingy about these verbal matters.

"If someone posts a post for you in the past few days, you should ask Cao Degui first, or you can just ask me directly." The fourth prince said with a smile, and Su Zhiping quickly responded: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance. We are new arrivals. There are indeed many places in the capital that I don’t understand, and it’s just a matter of letting Steward Cao give some pointers.”

Before, they deliberately ignored Steward Cao, but now that the fourth prince reminded him, Su Zhiping immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly expressed his attitude.The fourth prince waved his hands and smiled: "I didn't ask him to guide you. You are the master and he is the servant. Naturally, he listened to you. I was just worrying about it for nothing. He can be regarded as an official position in the capital." I know, that’s why he told you all about it.”

Su Zhiping smiled a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness condescends to point out, we are flattered, thank you for your care, if it weren't for His Highness, we would be blind in the capital, I'm afraid we don't even know if we offended anyone, Your Highness is so kind, Both Zhiping and Zhian are in my heart."

Su Zhi'an also hurriedly confessed his feelings, the fourth prince nodded, and said: "Today I will have guests at my house, you can prepare later and meet with me, it will only be good for you."

Su Zhiping and Su Zhian quickly agreed, and as soon as the fourth prince left, the two hurried into the room to change clothes. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they couldn't show anything in the fourth prince's residence right now.

Su Qinghe and Su Zhangshi had nothing to do, so they simply continued to invite a few nuns to teach them etiquette.Mrs. Su Zhang was thinking that if her two sons became officials in the future, she would definitely have to go with her sons. Don't embarrass her sons by not knowing anything by then.

As for Su Qinghe, it is right to learn more about etiquette anyway.

Su Zhiping and Su Zhian didn't come back until midnight, Su Qinghe and the others couldn't wait, so they simply went to sleep.Waking up early the next morning, Su Qinghe went to the place where Su Zhiping lived, and saw Lichun guarding the door.

"Brother hasn't gotten up yet?" Su Qinghe asked in a low voice, Lichun was dozing off, she was shocked when she heard the words, saw that it was Su Qinghe, and hurriedly bowed: "Girl, the young master came back late yesterday and drank some wine, You haven't woken up yet."

Su Qinghe nodded, seeing that Liqiu was also guarding the door of Su Zhian's room, so she didn't ask any more questions.Turning back to the living room, I saw Mrs. Su holding a teacup and listening to someone talking with a smile on her face.

That person is quite familiar, it is the little six son who was introduced by the fourth prince who is very familiar with the capital.

"You think this Lanxi Garden is really that famous?" Mrs. Su Zhang asked with a smile, and the little six nodded repeatedly: "This is not a small lie, this Lanxi Garden is well-known in the capital, especially Zhang Shinian. Young Master, his singing of Dan is really amazing. He is good at Hua Dan, but he is also good at singing Dao Ma Dan, especially Mu Guiying, who is really vivid."

Su Jingsen asked from the side: "Then is there a place for Mr. Zhang today?"

"Mr. Zhang only comes out every five or ten days. It just so happens that tomorrow will be August [-]th. If Mrs. Madam wants to see Mr. Zhang's scene, it's a good time for someone to book a seat right now." Xiao Liuzi Said with a grin.

Mrs. Su Zhang likes to go to the theater very much. Su Jingsen immediately said: "That's okay, Tiancai, you will go to inquire about the Lanxiyuan Opera Garden in a while, and then book a small private room. Later, my wife and I will go to the theater together."

Tian Cai responded, and Su Qinghe asked with great interest: "Is there anything else interesting in the capital? We're going to play today."

Little Six thought about it, and counted on his fingers: "There is a racecourse, there are horse races every day, you can place a bet. There is also Cuju, which is near the racecourse, and there is a garden party, but this is a post bought in advance. It will be held on the first day of the lunar month, so it may be too late now, but if the girl wants to go, Xiao Liu will go and find out."

"Garden party? Who are these people attending? Why do you still have to buy posts?" Su Qinghe was a little surprised, and the little six hurriedly said: "This garden party is held by the daughters of boudoirs in the capital, and there is a big garden on Dehua Street , it belonged to the Eleventh Prince’s family, and the Eleventh Prince rented out the garden. Whoever’s daughter wanted to hold a banquet, she would rent this garden. Over time, it became a rule. Every first day of the month, there will be Anyone who wants to participate in the garden party, the daughters of boudoirs in the capital, just need to buy a post."

"In August, the daughter of Prime Minister Li's Mansion was the host, and this September, it is said that Mrs. Feng's daughter is the host." The little six spoke in detail, and Su Qinghe nodded: "If you don't want to go, you can still go. Anything else fun?"

"There is also an embroidery competition held once a year in Jinxiufang, which will be held on September [-]th." Su Qinghe twitched the corners of her mouth and just waved her hands. Suddenly, she thought of the embroidery workshop she and Su Qinglan opened, and nodded immediately: "Tell me carefully." .”

"Yes, this Jinxiu Workshop is the largest embroidery workshop in the capital. It also sells fabrics and ready-made clothes. Their materials are all transported from the south of the Yangtze River, and they are very exquisite. Every July, no matter who they are, they can participate in this embroidery workshop. For the embroidery competition, all you need to do is take your favorite embroidery and hand it in to Jinxiu Workshop. It’s just that you can’t take back this embroidery after you hand it in. Wait until September [-]th, and the competition will start, and the embroidered clothes in the palace will be invited. The retired palace maids in the workshop only judge a hundred pictures every day, and the list will be announced at the end of September, and if someone's lady wins the first place, there will be rewards."

The little six sons were chattering, while Su Zhang laughed at Su Qinghe: "Just your two hands, don't show them to your eyes, how many girls are rich in this capital."

"Mom, I know my own level, and I definitely won't show it to shame. I just thought, Fourth Sister's embroidery work is good, if I can get a ranking, even if I don't get No.1 in the end, I can still do it." Bring fame to our embroidery workshop."

Su Qinghe said with a smile, and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve: "Mother, look, how is Fourth Sister's level?"

Mrs. Su Zhang looked at it and nodded with a smile: "It must be stronger than you, but, as the little six said, this embroidery competition started in July, and now it's the end of August, and it might end soon." Woolen cloth."

Su Qinghe nodded with a smile: "I've found out. Next year, let Fourth Sister carefully prepare a pair of embroidery and send it over earlier." When it comes to careful preparation, Su Qinghe also realized that Jinxiufang really deserves to be the number one embroidery in the capital. square.

This embroidery competition not only made a name for itself, but also gathered a lot of embroidery for free.When the ranking comes out, this first-class embroidery will definitely be able to sell for a good price.With both fame and fortune, it is no wonder that he can secure the top spot in the capital.

Little Six was excited, probably seeing that Su Qinghe wanted to go out to play, and he was talking about things suitable for girls to have fun. He even mentioned which company's rouge and gouache would reduce the price, and which company's silk flower noodles were the most beautiful.

Su Qinghe was a little disinterested when she heard it. First of all, what is this poem about? She doesn't know how to write poems, and it would be embarrassing to go there.This garden and the like are all the daughters of everyone. She is a commoner, and she will be run out if she goes there.

As for Su Jingsen, she made up her mind early on that she would go to a carriage shop to order a big carriage, one that could sleep and was very comfortable.My own carriage was too backward, and it was uncomfortable to sit on.

After listening for a long time, Mrs. Su Zhang decided to buy some face silk flowers and give them to her sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces and nieces.

Su Qinghe decided to go to the bookstore in the capital city. These books have always been precious. There should be many different books in the capital city and Taiyuan County.

In the end, Su Jingsen took Tiancai and Xiaoliuzi out together.Su Zhang went out with Tian Fu Tian Shou and two servants from the palace.Su Qinghe took Yun Nuan and Ming Xin out together.

The coachman belonged to the palace, Su Qinghe only said that he was going to the largest bookstore, the coachman knew it himself, and drove the carriage straight to the bookstore.

Su Qinghe led the people in, and began to pick out books to read slowly.Just as he was watching attentively, he suddenly heard someone beside him saying: "Sister Xiao He?"

"Brother Yang Zi? Why are you here?" Su Qinghe looked up, saw it was Yang Zi, and hurriedly greeted him: "Do you want to buy books too?"

"Well, there are two books missing." Yang Zi stood beside Su Qinghe with a smile, and reached out to flip through the book in her hand: "Another agricultural book? You like to read this, I still remember when you were young, so When I was a little older, I would hold on to Qimin’s important skills all day long, and if there was something I didn’t know, I would come and ask me.”

Su Qinghe took a step back calmly: "Brother Yang Zi said it, I also remember it. At that time, Brother Yang Zi was just like my own brother. My elder brother and second brother were not at home, so only Brother Yang Zi took care of me."

"Zhi'an and I are brothers and sisters, so you should." Yang Zi said with a smile, reaching out and pulling out a book from the other side: "I have been to this bookstore before, and when I saw this book, I thought of you I'm sure you'll like it, see."

Su Qinghe reached out to take it, and flipped through it while thanking him: "Thank you, brother Yang Zi, for remembering it, but I bought this book when I was in the county before, and I haven't finished it yet, so I only read it here. By the way, brother Yang Zi is What book do you want to buy?"

"Buy some policy theory and poetry collections." Yang Zi picked up a few books from the side, and looked at Su Qinghe sideways: "Is Xiaohe going to do something later? I see that Xiaohe likes to listen to books, and I just know there is a restaurant There are also storytellers, why don't we go and listen for a while?"

Su Qinghe stole a few glances at Yang Zi, so enthusiastic, something is not quite right.Could it be that yesterday he heard about the development of his own family, and then wanted to come up and make a good relationship first?It's not that she doesn't think of people as good, but she has to think so.

After all, they haven't seen each other for several years, and they don't even have any contact with each other. There must be other meanings for suddenly approaching each other at this moment.Moreover, yesterday he heard that he was restrained by his mother and sister-in-law, so he couldn't come out to inquire about the whereabouts of the Su family.

Su Qinghe wouldn't believe these words at all, and he wasn't a marionette, he was already in his teens, in this ancient times, the one who was earlier should be a father, yet let his mother and sister-in-law control him?Such a person can still be admitted as a scholar?
Coupled with the matter of Mr. Shen as a lesson for the future, when Su Qinghe meets someone now, he always has to think about the bad side first.
