Chapter 137 Double Ninth Festival

After a few days, it will be the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival.

Zuo Junya made an appointment with Luo Tiandu a few days ago, and today they will go to Dongping Mountain to climb up and admire the chrysanthemums.Mrs. Fang also lived in Shangjing for half a year, so she got acquainted with the lives of these nobles in Beijing. Knowing that on the day of Chongyang, everyone would go to climb high with relatives and friends to avoid disasters, so they made preparations early. Each sent one, and bought two jugs of chrysanthemum wine.

Originally, Fang wanted the whole family to go with him, but Gu Bo was old and didn't like to make troubles, so he waved his hand, saying that he would just keep his old bones at home and guard the house, and let them play by themselves.

Gu Bo is now in his fifties and almost 50 years old. In this era when the average life expectancy of the elderly is generally not long, he is indeed considered an old man.

Because they want to go with people from the Zuo Mansion, it is difficult to bring many people. Fortunately, there is no one in the Luo family now, except for a family of four, that is, Gu Bo and Cheng Qing brothers.Luo Tian thinks that Cheng Qing is a very good person, if it is not because of his disability, she would like to marry Luo Mingdu to him.It doesn't matter if she is poor, anyway, if she makes money anyway, after a few years, save two thousand gold, and buy hundreds of acres of fertile land, you will be a small landlord.It's just that she has this idea, and Luo Baisu and Fang's will definitely not agree, and Luo Ming doesn't seem to have any thoughts, so he has to give up. If so, Luo Tian likes to bring Cheng Qing with him when he does everything. Reliable, and secondly, there is no one else in the family who can help her.

Cheng Sheng drove the car to the appointed place, but Zuo Junya never arrived.It seems that Zuo's family has a lot of things to do, so they have to delay for a while.Luo Tian was not in a hurry, he saw that there was a shop selling chrysanthemum cakes next door, got out of the carriage, bought five yuan, and shared it with each person, which was considered a good time.

Zuofu's carriage also arrived fifteen minutes later.

Zuo Junya opened the car curtain from a long distance, and greeted Luo Tiandu: "Xiaodu, here, here!"

Luo Tiandu leaned out half of his body, and said to Zuo Junya, "Why did you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Zuo Junya is also straightforward, and she was not annoyed when she heard Luo Tiandu's complaints, and explained with a smile: "There is a temporary visitor at home, and it has been delayed for a while. My mother will stay at home today to entertain guests. Let's get out."

Although only the Jian family and Zuo Junya sisters came to the Zuo Mansion, there were quite a few including the maids and wives. There were three carriages in total, and there were several long-term followers on horseback behind them.

Zuo Junya wanted to invite Sister Luo Tiandu to sit by her side.Zuofu's carriage is naturally more refined and luxurious than Luo's, but Luo Tian felt more comfortable riding in his own simple carriage, so he refused.

Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Zuo Junya lifted the curtain and said to Luo Tiandu, "I brought the cards over here, you guys come and play together."

Luo Tiandu was speechless for a moment, he could only sigh, the charm of the Celestial Hero Killer was too great, and he once again harmed a young girl.

Fang's wholeheartedly hoped that Luo Tian could learn some etiquette from the two young ladies of the Zuo family, and she was happy for them to get closer, so she said, "Can't you bear the bumps? The Zuo family's carriage is naturally better, you go there It’s more comfortable over there, and I can sit alone and rest for a while.”

Luo Tiandu and Luo Ming got out of the carriage and went to Zuo Junya's side.

Although the Zuo family’s carriage doesn’t look obvious from the outside, it is very delicate and spacious inside. Jian’s Zuo Junyu and Zuo Junya’s sisters are not too crowded, and they are also scented. There is a strong fragrance in the carriage. .

As soon as Luo Tiandu got into the car, he felt his nose was oxygenated, and couldn't help but sneezed.The scent is too strong.

Zuo Junya had set up the small table a long time ago, and when she saw her coming in, she hurriedly said, "Come on, come on, it will take more than an hour to reach Dongping Mountain, and we can still kill two rounds."

I don't know since when these noble ladies didn't call playing cards, but called killing two rounds.Now the buzzwords in Beijing are no longer the routine compliments on each other’s clothing as before, but replaced by a very friendly and friendly question: Today, did you kill?

Luo Tian was a little surprised that such a small hero killing could cause such a situation, but she was very happy to see it.She thought about it, anyway, the hero killing card should still be popular in Shanghai for a year or so, and when these ladies get tired of this game, there will be puzzle and very interesting games such as checkers and poker.When the time comes, she doesn't think about making a lot of money, as long as she can meet the daily expenses and save two pension funds for Luo Baisu and his wife.

When we arrived at Dongping Mountain, horse-drawn carriages were not allowed on the mountain. The coachman drove the carriage to a yard at the foot of the mountain, and a maidservant came over, first helped Jian Shi get off the carriage, and then helped Zuo Junyu and Zuo Junya in the same way.

When it was Luo Tiandu's turn, a stronger woman wanted to come over to hug her, Luo Tiandu said, "No, I'll come down by myself." After speaking, he picked up the hem of his skirt and jumped down.

Seeing that Zuo Junya laughed straight, and said to the woman: "Mother Cheng, you always say that I'm frizzy and not chaste enough, let's see, there is someone who is even less chaste than me."

Granny Cheng straightened her face, regardless of whether Luo Tian is not a child of the Zuo family, and said to her: "Little lady should be elegant and chaste, and she must be attended by someone when she goes in and out, so that she is precious. Such rash behavior in the future There must be no more. Also, a young lady must walk dignifiedly, bowing her head and raising her brows is the way of a lady, if she looks at people like this, she is not a daughter of a good family."

Luo Tiandu was very depressed.She just hopped in the carriage once, and was accused of not being chaste enough. She felt that it was necessary to complain: "I have to be supported when I go in and out. Is it not healthy?"

This is her sincere words, she is really not used to the people here, not to mention that her family doesn't have a maid now, if she does, if she wants her to walk two steps like others, she will have to press most of her body on someone who is bigger than herself On the skinny and young maid, she really couldn't do it just to show that fragile posture.She has received more than [-] years of education, and she has always been taught to stride forward with her head held high, always with her head down, is there money to pick up on the ground, gold or silver?
Hearing her muttering, Zuo Junya held back a smile, and finally couldn't help it anymore, threw herself into Jane's arms, and cried "Ouch": "Listen, mother-in-law, don't ever nag that I'm not gentle enough So elegant."

Granny Cheng was so angry that she fell on her back, and looked at Luo Tian with embarrassment. If Luo Tian was a girl from the Zuo family, she would have to be carried back to learn etiquette.

"Tsk, I don't know where the wild girl came from, she is so unruly." There was a mocking voice from the side, and a beautifully dressed young lady stood a few steps away, staring at Luo Tian and mockingly.

Luo Tian turned his head, took a look, and felt that the person who spoke looked familiar, and took a closer look, ho, isn't it the Yun Niang that he met the other day when he was eating Jiuniang Yuanzi?It seems that the lesson Master Wei taught her didn't make her calm down, and she still looked down on others like this.

Luo Tian was too lazy to pay attention to her, he turned around and said to Zuo Junya as if he didn't hear her, "Is this how we go up the mountain?"

Zuo Junya looked a little annoyed. She liked Luo Tiandu very much. Although Luo Tiandu was a bit vulgar, she was very funny and not twitchy, which suited her taste very well. Seeing her being ridiculed, she was about to After replying a few words, Jian Shi gave her a hand and warned in a low voice: "What kind of people care about her?"

She knows that Mr. Zuo attaches great importance to family style, and absolutely does not allow his family members to bully others. First, the family style is strict, and second, he also cherishes feathers to save trouble. Those people in Yushitai, what do you do all day long Not doing anything, just staring at people like them with a pen, hoping that there is something wrong in their family, so that they can make use of it.

Seeing Luo Tian ignoring her, Yunniang felt that she had lost her face. She rushed forward and wanted to say something, but was stopped by another well-dressed little lady beside her: "That's from the family of Mr. Zuo, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. You two little ladies, if you offend them, be careful not to get any good results."

Luo Tian could hear these words clearly to persuade Yunniang to calm down, but when he heard it, he felt so awkward?The meaning inside and outside the words seems to be accusing Mr. Zuo of taking advantage of his position and power to allow his family members to bully the weak.

Luo Tian turned his head around and saw Mrs. Yun, surrounded by several young ladies, still led by Mrs. Jin, the one who spoke just now was dressed in red and had a delicate appearance, but looking at his side, But it was faintly filled with hatred.

Jian Shi frowned, feeling a little unhappy, but Chang Shi was not here today, she led her two sisters-in-law by herself, and didn't want to cause any trouble, so she said: "Let's go, we have to go to the temple today Incense."

Zuo Junya's face was a little unhappy, and she told Luo Tiandu, "That's the third wife of Master Qiao's family in the Imperial Academy."

Luo Tian immediately understood.Luo Baihan prevented the eldest son and grandson of the Qiao family from taking scientific examinations. The Qiao family naturally hated their family to the core. The Zuo family's intrusion at the beginning was regarded as favoring the Luo family, so they were also hated by the Qiao family. It's just that Mr. Zuo has always been an upright official, and the Qiao family had nothing to do with him, so they had to grit their teeth and swallow it.But this does not prevent the juniors of the two families from pinching each other when they meet.

After Luo Tiandu and the others left, Yunniang asked Mrs. Qiao San: "Who are those two country girls? Why are Master Zuo's family members willing to get close to them?"

Mrs. Qiao San lowered her eyes and said calmly: "That is the family of Mr. Zhuo Lang Luo Baisuluo, not some country girl."

Yun Niang frowned: "Zhu Zhuo Lang? Luo Baisu?"

Although the Youluo Hua clan is a famous family in Daqing, this Yunniang's family is just a branch of the Hua family that is not very favored. With the help of money, he donated the errand of Bo, the head of Honglu Temple. He entered Beijing not more than a few months earlier than Luo Baisu. He didn't know about the lawsuit between Luo Baihan and Qiao's family a few years ago, so Mrs. Qiao San She didn't have any impression of Luo Baisu's name.

She didn't know, but others knew it, so a little lady said a little bit unfairly: "Brother Qiao was forced by the Luo family to be unable to do scientific research for the rest of his life."
