Chapter 36
No matter how hard Geng Xingshuang thought about it, he couldn't think of such a reason, and seeing Zeng's serious face, it was obvious that this matter was true.

"Yang Qingmo is not in Ningdu." Geng Xingshuang was speechless.

"It's because he's not in Ningdu." Zeng said with a helpless expression, "He Yuzhu's father was the county magistrate in Nai County. She went to her father's place last year and stayed there for more than half a year. She didn't return to Ningdu until last month. The county is very close to Pingcheng, and that's where she met Uncle Liu, and then... she fell in love with him immediately, and asked his father to help find out, and later found out that it was our sixth master. Originally, Mr. He was worried about the identity of Uncle Six, I don't want to fulfill my daughter's wish, but after learning about the identity of my sixth uncle, I don't have such worries."

"Then she... no, how are they going to deal with me?"

Geng Xingshuang didn't even bother to ask the He family if they knew about Yang Qingmo's engagement, this was simply a lice on the bald man's head - it was obvious.

"I don't know exactly how. I only know that my aunt is doing her best to facilitate this matter. My uncle seems to agree with it. Grandmother didn't agree at first, but now I think her attitude has relaxed."

Geng Xingshuang still didn't understand, "This matter has to go through uncle and aunt, right?"

After all, only Yang Qingmo's own parents can decide on his marriage, and it's not that there are no parents, only grandma and uncles and aunts can decide.

Speaking of Yang Qingmo's uncle, Geng Xingshuang seems to be able to explain Yang Fu's strange attitude towards her now.

Her concession to herself today can be said to be sympathetic.

Geng Xingshuang was a little dumbfounded, the marriage hadn't been divorced yet, and everyone in the Yang family seemed to know that it was almost the same.

If he didn't make it in the end, he didn't know whether He Yuzhu and the Yang family would lose face, or he would lose face.

No, I am ashamed, and I have done nothing wrong.

Geng Xingshuang immediately corrected his mentality, looked at Zeng with a worried face and said: "Sister Zeng, don't worry, I know about this, I will go home in a while, and I won't come to the mansion again during this time, go to other people When the family is a guest, I will also ask if it has anything to do with the He family and the Yang family, don't worry, I will be careful."

The most important thing is that after returning home, she wrote a letter to question Yang Qingmo. This matter was caused by him, and he can only handle it. If he can't handle it well, she will ask her elder brother to help her find a new marriage.

She doesn't have any requirements for her family background. After all, I don't know how long the plaque in the uncle's mansion can last. It seems that her father and elder brother don't have the potential to be an official. Fortunately, I can do a little bit of work, and my parents and sisters are easy to get along with, so these are not far from it.

It's not that she has to marry into the Yang family. Although Yang Qingmo's appearance is very suitable for her, she is sure that he is not her only choice until now.

Perhaps because of this mentality, Geng Xingshuang was more calm and relaxed than Zeng.

"I don't know when the letter will be delivered to Suzhou Heping City. Do I have to ask the second master to find two guards to ride on horseback to deliver it again, so as to ensure that the in-laws and uncle can receive the news in time." Zeng thought worriedly .

After going to see Xiao Xinran who was still sleeping, Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen and Jiang Xuefu bid farewell to Zeng.

After lunch, the guests who came to enjoy the flowers gradually left, and some of them did not leave, such as the four sisters of the Geng family, He Yuzhu, Huai Xin and others, as well as those who came with their father and brother at home, and they also waited to join their father and brother in the outer courtyard. leave.

But at this time, there were already a lot fewer customers.

Most of the guests left together, and the girl from the Yang family, who was the host, sent them to the Chuihua Gate.

Knowing that Geng Xingshuang and the others were leaving, Yang Fu came out to see them off.

"Grandmother hasn't gotten up for lunch break yet, so she told me that she doesn't need to say goodbye."

Yang Fu said, as for Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang has explained this way, so they naturally also explained that they don't need to let the younger generation make a special trip.

Because Geng Xingbing and Geng Xingyu were still with Yang Zhen, Geng Xingshuang didn't wait for them, but asked Yang Fu to tell them to leave first.

She was in a hurry to go back and write a letter to Yang Qingmo. As for the red blessing before it arrived, she would go to the escort agency or the post station and send it there. Once she is angry, it is difficult to calm down because of the importance and anger of this matter. Perhaps only "Yunshan Ji III" can make her change her mind.

The calculations in Geng Xingshuang's heart were crackling, and he was thinking about what kind of words he should use to make Yang Liuye understand her firm intentions.

Just arrived at the Chuihua Gate, the carriage that Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen was riding in had been driven over by Ma San.

Because Young Master Jiang was not ready to leave yet, Geng Xingshuang decided to send Jiang Xuefu back to Jiang's house. Young Master Jiang was happy to see what happened. The purpose of bringing his sister out was to let her make more friends, instead of spending the whole day with her. Bored at home playing with those swords and halberds.

Just as Jiang Xuefu got into the carriage of the uncle's mansion and Geng Xingshuang was about to get into the carriage, a maid in a dark green bijia and a bean paste-colored long skirt walked quickly towards this side from the hanging flower door.

"Third Miss, Fifth Miss!"

Seeing Yang Fu and Yang Ru, the maid quickened her pace and immediately called out.

"Qiaojuan, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Yang Ru asked.

Yang Fu frowned slightly, but did not speak.

"Third girl, fifth girl, uncle, second master, third master, fourth master, fifth master, they are holding a poetry and painting competition with all the guests in the outer courtyard, and they will write poems or paintings on the topic of today's flower appreciation feast, everyone The master and the third master knew about it, and they also set up first, second and third prizes, three for poetry, and three for painting.

Then some guests said that the real good and famous flowers are all in the back garden, so it’s not interesting for people from the outer courtyard to compete. You can let the girls inside join in, and invite a few respected adults to be judges. After the competition, the girls’ poems and paintings It will also return to its original owner.

After hearing this, the Eldest Master felt that it made sense, so he asked the servants to come in and tell the girls about this, Third Miss, Fifth Miss, do you want to inform now..."

This Qiaojuan's words were straightforward and quick, and she clearly explained the cause and effect of this temporary poetry and painting competition.

"But the guests have almost left." Yang Ru frowned and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, if you said it earlier, someone would definitely stay and participate."

"That's not necessarily the case, after all, it's with a male guest from the outer courtyard..."

"Third Miss, Grandma's father is also here today, and he also invited Mr. Li Jijiu. If the ladies know that Mr. Jijiu of the Imperial College is the judge, they will definitely be willing."

Qiaojuan interrupted Yang Fu abruptly.

Yang Fu's face froze, and she looked at Geng Xingshuang who was about to get in the car, but was listening to Geng Xingshuang who hadn't got in the car because of Qiaojuan's sudden arrival.

"Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister, are you willing to participate? By the way, Qiaojuan, father and third uncle have said what the prize is."

Yang Fu first asked Geng Xingshuang and the other two, before they could answer, she immediately turned to ask Qiaojuan, feeling a little impatient.

"Whether it is a poem or a painting, the first name is an inscription by Mr. Li Jijiu, No.2 is a Sheng Chunluo, and No.3 is 66 taels of silver."

Qiaojuan seemed a little annoyed that she had forgotten such an important link, Yang Fu answered immediately when she asked, with a little complacency.

Obviously, in her opinion, this prize is considered good and cannot be better.

Geng Xingshuang also felt that the best could not be better, no matter the first, second or third place, the prizes were very attractive to her.

Li Jijiu, whose name is Li Chi, was Tanhua in Changning for 21 years, and his calligraphy and painting are the best in the world. In the tenth year of Shengning, when he was an official to Sipin Guozijian Jijiu, he was in the heart of the emperor.

If there is a piece of his calligraphy as a collection, how many scholars can knock on the door, let alone how much money it can sell.

Geng Xingshuang couldn't figure out why he came to Yang's house to participate in such a flower viewing banquet, and to be a judge of such a temporary competition, and he didn't hesitate to use an inscription as a prize. It was really puzzling.

According to Geng Xingshuang's usual way of doing things, at this time, she must join in the fun. She wants to win the prize and also wants to know what the real purpose of this competition is. She doesn't believe that this competition is just a simple competition. Contest.

But today...

Geng Xingshuang looked at Yang Fu with contradictory eyes in anticipation, shook his head and refused, "It's a pity, I have something to do today, so I won't participate in this poetry and painting competition. Besides, I don't know anything about this poem. Painting... Although I can paint, I can't take part in it." But I dare not say how good the painting is, and I dare not make a fool of myself in front of Master Jijiu of the Imperial College."

 ps: Geng Xingshuang: Hurry up, I don't know what pits are waiting ahead!

  Geng Xingchen: Sister Six is ​​right!

  Geng Xingbing: I won't leave!
  Geng Xingyu: I want to leave, but I can't!

  Geng Xingshui: It turned out that my mother didn't let me go to the banquet, but she saved me from troubles and entanglements. I misunderstood my mother.
