Chang'an is good

Chapter 50 Unpretentious and free

"Uncle Chang!"

Ah Dian followed into the General's Mansion, and as soon as he saw Chang Kuo, he rushed over and hugged him, almost hanging on Chang Kuo's body.

He is slightly taller than Chang Kuo, and because he is younger than Chang Kuo, he is in his prime, and at this moment he is like a big bear enveloping him.

"Okay, okay." Chang Kuo smiled and straightened him up, and patted him on the shoulder: "We, Dian, have grown taller again!"

Looking at the middle-aged Ah Dian in front of him, Chang Suining couldn't help sighing——Old Chang's opening remarks did not change with the passage of time, and one sentence can be used forever.

Pian Ah Dian was very useful, and I was very happy when I heard the words: "Uncle Chang, why did you go out for so long this time?"

"It's a war, you have to win before you can come back." Chang Kuo said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw you, this time you have to stay for a few more days!"

"Of course, I'm going to live here for a long time!" Ah Dian responded.

Chang Kuo laughed "haha", but he didn't believe a word in his heart.

This child, Ah Dian, has one thing in common with ordinary children—before going to a relative’s house, he was happy and threatened to stay for a few more days, but when he really went to live, he had to curl his mouth the night before, crying and going home, dying. You can only carry it until the next day.

In Ah Dian's heart, the Xuan Ce Mansion where he lived with His Highness is his real home.

Chang Kuo was ready to send him back the next day, so he ordered Bai Guan to take him to rest in advance.

"Little Ah Li, remember to come and play with me!" Before Ah Dian followed Bai Guanshi and left, he did not forget to say: "In the carriage, we hooked up!"

Chang Suining nodded in response.

"Sui Ning and Ah Dian are so close now?" Chang Kuo was a little surprised.

"He's very nice and sincere." Chang Suining said perfunctorily in one sentence—it's always right to boast about being a good person when you're indecisive.

Hearing this sentence, Chang Kuo sighed with relief in his eyes: "Our Suining has really grown up now."

As he said that, he sat down in the armchair: "Come on, sit down and talk to daddy, did you gain anything from going out today?"

The door of the side hall has been closed, and the servants retreated to guard outside.

"The biggest gain today... should be buying a donkey." Chang Suian scratched the back of his head and said.

Chang Kuo frowned and looked at his son: "Take your sister out, why don't you buy a donkey?"

He looked at his son more like a donkey!

No need for a second head at home!
Chang Suian explained: "Father, it is exactly what Ningning wants to buy."

Chang Kuo's expression froze, and then he smiled and looked at his daughter: "... donkeys are good, they are more docile than horses, just buy them if you buy them, it's just a matter of extra chopsticks in the stables!"

Chang Sui'an didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Father's two faces, and when he was about to say something excitedly, Chang Suining interrupted vigilantly——

"There are still gains." She hastily cut off Chang Suian's words.

She really didn't want to hear any more talk about her two-way redemption with the donkey today.

Both father and son looked at her.

"It's just that it's inconvenient to talk to brother in detail on the way." Chang Suining said, "At the flower fair today, I met Mrs. Pei of the Yao family—"

"Mrs. Yao's family?" Chang Kuo frowned and asked, "Mrs. Yao Yi's wife, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple...the eldest daughter of Pei Min's marriage?"

It's not that he knows the in-law relationship of various officials and eunuchs in Beijing, but because he has been investigating the affairs of Pei's family recently, he naturally knows it by heart, and he knows which one it is when he talks about it.

"Yes." Facing Chang Kuo, Chang Suining spoke quite bluntly: "Although I don't know the reason yet, my intuition tells me that this person is suspicious."

Chang Suian heard a shock - intuition?
Every time he said these two words, Dad wished he could give him a big slap, and then give him a sharp comment-you don't have a brain, you have a fart intuition!
At this moment, he subconsciously looked at his father's reaction.

"Okay." Chang Kuo nodded sternly: "Father, let someone go and check on this Mrs. Yao's family alone!"

Chang Suian didn't have time to feel the bitterness, so he subconsciously said, "Let Jiantong check it?"

The sword boy who stood by was a little hesitant—since he is a female family member, I hope that the gentleman will pay attention to the degree when explaining the specific matters to him this time.

"It's one thing for Jiantong to bring people to investigate." Chang Kuo pondered for a moment, then said: "But there is a better way..."

Seeing a pair of sons and daughters looking towards him, Chang Kuo said, "Write to Yu Zeng."

Chang Suining: "..."

It feels like someone asked, how many steps does it take to steam a steamed bun?
Normal people answer, four steps - knead the noodles first, then adjust the stuffing, put it in a steamer, and turn on the fire.

Reach out and answer, one step - call A Niang!

And if she had to choose, she would of course choose the second option.

She is absolutely incomprehensible for being human and not taking shortcuts.

Therefore, she looked at Chang Kuo approvingly, but hesitated: "The previous list was given by Mr. Yu, and he owed Wei Shilang a favor because of it. Isn't it inappropriate to bother him again and again now?"

After all, as far as she has heard these days, Ah Zeng is really difficult to get along with now, and she has not been able to meet him so far, so it is inevitable that she will feel a little uncertain when taking this shortcut.

Chang Kuo thought for a while: "There's nothing inappropriate, it's just...or indeed it's time to express my gratitude."

"Then what should I send over there?" Chang Suian suggested, "Yu Gong doesn't lack anything, and precious things are not rare. Ning makes a basket of dim sum with his own hands? It’s not the same as others, but it’s also a way to show your heart!”

"This is good." Chang Suining nodded approvingly: "But I completely forgot how to make dim sum."

She never would.

Otherwise, why would she choose "one step in place, just call A Niang"?

"Then I can only think of other ways..." Chang Suian continued to think hard.

"I remember Yu Gong likes to play the piano?" Chang Suining asked suddenly.

"Ah... yes." Chang Kuo thought for a while: "But he seldom plays the piano in front of others, so not many people know about his hobby."

Chang Suining nodded: "It's so good, since it's unknown, ordinary people will not be able to send gifts here, why don't we send this rare piano score over there?"

"Hmm... this method is wonderful!" Chang Kuo smiled openly and stroked his beard: "Very good, then give this as a gift."

Chang Suian also thought it was very good, but it was rare for him to ask out of caution: "Father, do we have a handy piano score in our house?"

Chang Kuo paused as he stroked his beard, frowned and thought about it, but didn't speak.

Chang Suining was silent for a while, and decided to expose and give up the idea of ​​giving gifts: "... Father, please write first."

After everyone unanimously decided, the method of expressing gratitude was finally reflected in the end of the letter by adding three words—thank you.

Unpretentious and free.

……

Fortunately, although the letter was simple and unpretentious, the friendship was strong, but within two days, Yu Zeng replied to the letter.

On the same day, Jiantong also made progress.

　Second watch, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, is it true that if I don’t ask you, I won’t have me in your heart, now the monthly pass is ranked 30th, I want to boldly breathe the air that squeezed into the [-]th(><)
　　(See you tomorrow daytime)
