Ordinary clear day

Chapter 55 Tea Room
Although Shu Ning was embarrassed by this idea, she really couldn't remember who the wife or concubine of the fifth son in history was. Thinking about her own family, although her father's official position is not high, the family is the so-called "famous family" "Big family", it is not impossible for the girl in the family to become the prince Fujin, and thinking about it carefully, the elders in the Earl's Mansion may have this kind of intention in allowing Wanning to associate with the prince.

Recalling the already blurred memory, the fifth elder brother did not seem to have any outstanding performance in Jiulong Seizing the Inheritance, and his later fate is not clear, but she still remembers that apart from Thirteen and the youngest elder brothers, among Yongzheng's brothers, there are still Few end well.She won't make trouble for herself.

And for Shu Ning, the history of this world is very different from what she knew before traveling. Even if she was supposed to marry the fifth elder brother, there will be no serious consequences if she doesn't marry in the future, and history will itself. Adjustment, after decades or 100 years to return to the original track.

So she put the matter behind her.

At night when there was no one else in the main room, Shu Ning quietly told her mother about meeting the fourth elder brother during the day, and also talked about the delivery channel agreed with the fourth elder brother, Tong's attention was indeed attracted to this matter.

Seeing her mother babbling about what kind of material is the coolest for summer clothes, what style is the least eye-catching and the most comfortable, Shuning had a headache, she quickly pressed her mother, and said to her solemnly: "Er Niang, although we have a way now Send something to the fourth elder brother secretly, but it's better not to let people know about it. Er Niang, don't show your traces and make people suspicious."

Although Tong accepted it, she was still a little puzzled: "Why do you have to be so sneaky? Although the prince is not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers, but your uncle has contacts with the fourth elder brother, right? I am also from the Tong family, so just do it openly .Besides, isn't Wanning of the big house still befriending the fourth elder brother?"

It is because of her that I have to sneak around!If she found out, she still didn't know what she would do. If she used her family as an excuse to stir up the fight between the prince and the courtiers, wouldn't it hurt her family?

Shu Ning said seriously: "Emiang, the rules are the rules, my uncle is a serious relative, and we are separated by a layer, and you have married into this family. Although we are sending things in private now, it is only Emiang's favor to the fourth elder brother." I care about it, but if people outside know it, it’s hard to say how they will see it. If it is misinterpreted, not only will Ama be affected, but also the fourth elder brother will be blamed, right? And Sister Wanning’s relationship with the prince can be regarded as a little girl by others. Only children who share similar interests will play together, but Er Niang is an adult, so it's different."

She turned around and took the Four Treasures of the Study, put them on the table, and said to her mother: "Therefore, when you send something to the Pumpkin Alley for the first time, you can attach a letter, blaming my child for not knowing the severity, so he did it so recklessly." Make this kind of agreement. Then say again, please pretend not to know that there are relatives in our family, and just pretend that the things you send every time are filial to the prince. No matter what happens to our family, don't intervene , everything must be for your own safety. Finally, if someone else shows kindness to him like we did, you must make sure that the other party is not malicious before letting go of your guard. If you can ask him to treat Sister Wanning again It would be best to keep this a secret.”

Tong's eyes looked deeply at her daughter, and sighed: "Sometimes Erniang really doubts, how did you develop such a powerful look? Although everyone praises your sister Wanning for being smart, according to her From Mother's point of view, our Shuning is the one who hides the most, isn't it?"

Shu Ning smiled embarrassingly: "Why did Er Niang say that? As long as it is for the good of the family, my daughter will do anything. But when there is nothing to do, the daughter is Er Niang's little padded jacket." She rubbed against her mother and acted coquettishly , which made Tong couldn't help laughing.

And so it was settled.Mrs. Tong quietly called Ermo for help, and made two good-quality and ordinary summer boy's clothes, and left room at the hem, so that the wearer could keep them longer after they grew taller. Then he quietly told Changfu to take the letter, clothes and two boxes of Rendan from Tongrentang Pharmacy, and send them to Pumpkin Alley avoiding people.After more than an hour, Changfu turned back and said that the family had accepted it.

Mrs. Tong only told Zhang Bao about this in private, and didn't even let him know about her son.Later, when I had free time, in the name of making clothes for my son, I made two pieces of clothes of different sizes, but one of them was to be given away. one hand.Pumpkin Hutong never replied to the letter, and Tong's side is also doing it secretly.

Wanning's doubts about Shuning only lasted for two days, when she saw that Shuning always played the wrong song "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" "created" by one of Mr. Cai's "protégé students" in class, and It's not that after 01:30, it completely disappeared.Afterwards, she would still invite Shuning to go out to play together, and after Shuning measured the progress of her studies, she would agree to her once in three or four times, and took care to avoid occasions where she would meet certain people, and only talked with her own family. The sisters are out.

One day, Wanning took Shuning and Fangning out, but she didn't call Yuanning.When Fang Ning asked why she didn't see her fourth sister, Wan Ning said with regret: "It's not that I didn't call her, but she went back to her mother's house with her second aunt early this morning. I just wanted to invite the sisters to have a drink." Tea, now that she is missing, I also feel very sorry."

Fang Ning didn't say anything, but Shu Ning secretly slandered: Eldest sister, your play is real!

Today's destination is a teahouse that Wanning and Fangning often go to, the one that Shuning passed by but didn't enter when they went out with them last time.Wanning enthusiastically introduced the shop to her cousin: "It's completely different from other tea rooms. It's very quiet. Once you enter, you will feel elegant. The tea is also delicious. What's more rare is that the owner of the shop is really knowledgeable. There are many dignitaries or literati who like to sit there and feel the fragrance of books. And that teahouse is very special, that is, the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the shop are changed every month, and those calligraphy and paintings are all masterpieces of customers .Anyone whose work is posted feels it is a great honor.”

This idea is good, it can satisfy the vanity of customers.Shu Ning looked at Wan Ning's expression, and her heart moved: "Could it be the second sister's idea?" Wan Ning said awkwardly: "No, although I also thought about it, but someone suggested it earlier than me."

It turned out to be the case.

Soon Wanning became happy again: "However, when we went last time, Boss Fan mentioned that today there will be new calligraphy and paintings with the theme of 'flowers', and one of my poems is among them."

Huh huh? ? ?Really?Shu Ning thought suspiciously: "Can you really compose poems? You can't copy them again, right?" But think about it, who else can copy? Wanning is indeed a bit of a real talent, maybe She really did it herself.

Fanning was very quiet all the way, but she could see that she was very happy to go to the tea room.On the way, when Wanning was attracted by the goods on the roadside stalls, Fangning strongly persuaded her to give up. It is rare to see her so courageous.

The tea room was indeed very nice, with a very elegant environment. It was still early in the morning and there were no guests yet. The boss Fan entertained them and his group warmly, and even took them to the private room inside to sit.

Boss Fan has a son who is fourteen or fifteen years old. He is very handsome, with a bookish face, but he does not look thin. If so, my elder brother might be a little inferior.

The young man's name was Fan Jinchun, and according to Wanning, he had already passed the examination as a scholar, but he was still young, and planned to take the Juren examination in two years.It's normal for Wanning to know them very well, but Shuning was surprised that even Fangning knew so much about the two father and son.

Fan Jinchun demonstrated the tea ceremony to them, the movements were beautiful, and he explained some allusions and poems related to tea while demonstrating, and the conversation was quite extraordinary.Shuning listened with gusto, thinking: No wonder Wanning likes to come, so there is such a handsome young man with both beauty and wisdom.

After only talking for a while, Wanning said: "I didn't pay attention when I entered the door just now. New calligraphy and paintings have been hung outside, right? Third sister, why don't you go and have a look with me?" Shuning felt a little disappointed, and she wanted to continue Listen, but she is also very interested in Wanning's poems, so she followed her out.

Seeing Wanning's masterpiece hanging on the wall, Shuning was embarrassed again.It was a song "Ode to the White Begonia": "Treasure Fangzi and close the door in the daytime, hand in hand to irrigate the moss pot. The rouge washes out the autumn shadows, and the ice and snow attract the dew to build the soul. When you are light, you know that the flowers are more beautiful, and you can't get jade if you worry too much." There is no trace. If you want to repay Baidi, you should clean up, but you will be in a daze without saying a word." (Shuning: Didn't you even let "Dream of Red Mansions" go?)
She couldn't help admiring this eldest sister, she could even remember the poems in "Dream of Red Mansions" so clearly, this is also a manifestation of talent, right?
It's just that when she saw Wanning's smug look, she couldn't admire it: what's so smug about you, it's not really your own doing.

Wanning didn't know what Shuning was thinking at this time, so she turned around and asked her, "What does the third sister think of this poem? It was copied by Fan Jinchun himself, isn't it good?" Shuning pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Yes, The 'poetry' is really well written, and the second sister is really 'remarkable'."

Wanning didn't hear anything, just smiled and said: "Last autumn, someone sent a pot of white crabapple to our family. The flowers are really beautiful. I also wrote this because of a momentary feeling."

Shu Ning said: "Although it is said to be singing flowers, according to my sister, it is more like singing people, like a white begonia fairy."

"Isn't it just a fairy?" Boss Fan walked over with a smile, with two cups of tea on the tray in his hand, "Although Miss Wan has such a lively personality, she is worthy of being a lady who can write such poems." Woolen cloth."

Shu Ning laughed with him: Sister Wan, why didn't you choose to pick and choose, but chose to copy such a "dignified and steady" poem?If it doesn't match your personality, people will suspect it.

Wan Ning smiled awkwardly, and quickly started talking about other calligraphy and paintings: "Hey, this poem is well written. It was written by this person. I've seen it before, and it looks a little ugly.... Huh? This one... 'Pretty doesn't compete for spring, but announces the arrival of spring. When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she laughs in the bushes'...Who wrote this?" She suddenly turned her head and asked Boss Fan, with a shocked expression on her face.

Boss Fan was frightened by her and was speechless for a moment.Shu Ning understood why she was shocked, so she replied: "Isn't there a signature on it? Chen Shancai, it's Mr. Chen Liangben's poem. It's very famous. Haven't you heard of it, sister?"

"Chen Liangben?" Wanning stared at Shuning, "Is that the one I saw in the teahouse last time? That high-ranking official who married many wives?"

Shuning nodded, very interested to know how Wanning would react.
