Chapter 80

Brother and sister met Lian Ding in the front hall and humbled each other into the flower hall.

After the exchange of greetings, Ruan Qingyan sent his retinue and put it into the main topic: "I have asked Ruan Bo, the housekeeper, to find out the dowry list of my aunt. I don't know which one belongs to the old lady?"

Lian Ding hurriedly said, "I've got the list of my aunt." Speaking of this, I saw the autumn waves. "Those people recommended by cousin Qiu are very powerful. I took the box with me. Grandfather has seen it. He said that the boxes from thousands of miles away have not even hit the mark. If he knew it, he would not hire those escort agencies when he went back home. "

Ruan Qingyan coughed: "when I was in the south, I was invited by someone to know. That day, when I heard my cousin's words, I would mention them easily. "

"So brother Ruan said it?" Lian Ding suddenly said, "I wonder how cousin Qiu knows such an organization?"

Ruan Qingyan glared his eyes and bowed down as a cute cousin. He turned the topic aside and said, "since the dowry list is here and Qiu Mengmin has recovered, it's time for us to agree on a day to come."

Lian Ding nodded: "before I came, my grandfather said that brother Ruan was a new scholar. If brother Ruan took the lead, the effect would be better than my grandfather."

"How can I get away from this Ruan Qingyan smiled, "but now, there is no one of the same generation in Xihe palace with Lian laomanzi. It's not enough to let Mr. Lian come to the door in person In my opinion, if you and I record a copy of the list, I will visit you quietly first. If Qiu Mengmin is smart, he doesn't have to work with his elders. If he is not smart, how about asking them to come forward and tell him about their interests? "

Lian Ding said, "what brother Ruan said is right."

Next, we discussed the time to find Qiu Mengmin - Ruan Qingyan wanted to support Penglai moon, so he decided to go after saihuakui.

Lian Ding didn't have any opinions on this date, but also said a message: "my uncle made up for the magistrate of Kuai city the day before yesterday, and my father also made up for Dalisi Zhi I dare not disturb the Jiang family any more. I'm planning to set up another house. In this way, I'm just going to take care of the new house, so that I can settle my mind and the theory of the West River King. "

"The big table and the second table fill in the gaps?" "Autumn drag LAN is surprised to ask," this is a happy event, how to say now? I should have gone to congratulate you. "

"In the early days, my uncle was actually a magistrate." Lian Ding was a little sad. "His father also worked in Dali temple, but when his great grandfather died and Fu Ling returned to his hometown, he never recovered Now I'm lucky to be pitied by the empress's mother, who asked the official department to ask about it and make up for the original grade. "

The most promising thing for the generations of Lian family is Lian Taifei's father, Lian laoshangshu. When Lian laoshangshu was around, his descendants, though not very good at reading books, were all mixed up in the official arena by his activities. When he died, the Lian family was quickly beaten back to its original shape. For example, because there was no support in the court, Ding Youding had no official position and could only be a squire. To be honest, it was very true Universal.

Therefore, four of the Lian's family members came here at one breath, not all for the sake of showing their heads for autumn, but also to take advantage of this opportunity to recover.

Now they have to say whether they want to succeed or not, and they also have a relationship with the Jiang family, just like the Japanese Zhongtian, which can be said to be overjoyed.

Ruan Qingyan congratulated Qiulan. Ruan Qingyan asked, "I don't know if this new house can be found? When I just came to Beijing, I didn't expect to have an heir, but I also found a house for a period of time. I know something about the hollow house in Beijing. Maybe I can help you. "

Lian Ding said with a smile, "thanks for your concern, brother Ruan. The Jiang family sent a steward to help us. It's my father's idea, but it's already my eyes."

Ruan Qingyan nodded and said generously that if you have something you can help, don't be polite - Lian Ding asked for help in his spare time. After all, in addition to the fact that Lian laoshangshu is a Jinshi, the most other people in the Lian family are all people. They need the guidance of Ruan Qingyan.

Ruan Qingyan, who wanted to borrow him to cover his cousin's blind date, naturally agreed.

It's almost the end of the story. Ruan Qingyan looks at the copper leak in the corner of the house and is going to leave a message for dinner. As a result, Lian Ding ponders for a while and says to Qiu Huanlan, "it's said that cousin Qiu has opened a boudoir school there. Is it Mr. Shao, the most famous female teacher in Beijing?"

"Brother Lian also knows that?" said Qiu? Is Mr. Shao so famous? "

"We haven't been in Beijing for more than ten years, but we still listen to others." Lian Ding explained, "it's said that Mr. Shao taught his disciples a lot. All the young ladies under her door are elegant and gentle, and they are praised by others."

Well, I shouldn't have broken the signboard of this lady Right?

There was no reason for qiutiailan to feel guilty for a while. Just about to speak, he listened to Lian Ding's embarrassed question: "this time my aunt went to Beijing for medical treatment, and also brought her daughter Don't know if cousin Qiu will let her into your boudoir school? "

Autumn drag LAN surprised, Ruan Qing Yan is first to say: "this is afraid to be inappropriate."

"I menglang......" Lian Ding is young, and there is no city. If he is refused face to face, he will be very helpless.

Just ashamed to make amends, Ruan Qingyan said: "please don't get me wrong, brother Lian. I have a reason to say that: Mr. Shao may be a good man indeed. However, boudoir learning is located in Xihe palace. Not to mention that Qiu Mengmin and his wife have always been unkind to their cousins, but that after the contest of Huakui, we will go to talk with Qiu Mengmin about returning the dowry My cousin is Qiu's family. It's impossible to live in the palace. I'm afraid if my cousin goes, she will be severely punished! "My cousin lives in the palace alone. I have broken my heart for her! You also want to put a cousin in the past - no matter what the purpose of your family is, what happens to your cousin in the palace, eight out of ten of my cousin will be dragged into the water! How can this be!

Lian Ding didn't know his mind and said: "in fact, my grandfather was worried about cousin Qiu. He thought that although cousin Wang was one year younger than cousin Qiu, my uncle had gone early and had a calm mind. If he studied with cousin Qiu, he would be able to take care of her."

Ruan Qingyan is even less fond of hearing this: your 12-year-old cousin is calm and steady? Can I calm down my cousin and talk in the court when she is 13 years old?! Don't you think my cousin can do without your cousin?!

"But it's not up to my cousin to decide whether she can get into boudoir school. I have to ask Princess Yang for advice." Ruan Qingyan said lightly, "this When are you going to say that? "

Not to be answered by Lian Ding, Ruan Qingyan has already said to himself, "if I go to talk with Princess Yang now, I don't think Princess Yang will object. But I'm afraid that my cousin's face will not look very good when I come to the door after saihuakui. If I wait for Qiu Mengmin to show my cards and then let my cousin read, even if your family can open the door, Princess Yang may not agree, right

Lian Ding was stunned, and realized that Ruan Qingyan was suspecting the sincerity of the Lian family to ask for the dowry for Qiu Huanan. He was embarrassed and said: "it's not what brother Ruan thought..."

"Please give me some advice!" Ruan Qingyan turns his face like turning over a book. All of a sudden, he even says that he has been alienated.

"Autumn drag LAN to this meeting just insert words:" cousin! If my uncle doesn't love me, why let cousin Lian come to the door today? You are too outspoken! "

She handed a step, and Lian Ding took it with a wry smile: "it's not what brother Ruan thought - well, I'll tell you straight. Although it's not pleasant to say, we really don't want to harm cousin Qiu."

He opened his mouth and said, "I heard that Mr. Shao taught many famous ladies, even Princess Chunfu was his disciple Want cousin Wang Just know more people. "

To put it bluntly, I want to go to backyard diplomacy.

In fact, Lian Ding had guessed the aim of Lian's family as early as she opened her mouth, but she was reluctant. Lian Ding vowed to say how calm the cousin Wang was Where can a 12-year-old girl settle down? Even if she is really calm, now there is a 14-year-old Sheng Shishui and 15-year-old autumn pearl in boudoir school.

Even if we don't add people in the future, these two are fuel-efficient lamps?

Originally, qiutiailan was very busy. He had to be distracted to take care of Wang qingshallow. He thought it would be troublesome.

In the end, it's his cousin, Qiu Huanan, who hasn't thought of a suitable refusal. Ruan Qingyan has said: "since brother Lian has said that, I also ask you a simple question: dare to ask this Miss Wang, who can be valued at home?"

"Of course." Lian Ding was stunned. "There are not many children in our family, especially few women. No matter her mother, my little aunt, or cousin Wang, she is regarded as a pearl in the eyes of the Lian family. "

Ruan Qingyan put on a kind expression: "then your family chooses Mr. Shao as the teacher for Miss Wang, of course, she loves her daughter very much. But I don't think it's proper I have also heard from the female disciples who Mr. Shao once taught: today's cousin is the princess, not to mention the honorable Princess Chunfu, but also the granddaughter and the eldest daughter of Qiao Chengbo, the wine sacrifice of the Imperial College and the daughter of the Secretary, and the former famous ceramic family. "

The more he said that Lian Ding's face was more ugly, but just when Lian Ding was about to attack, Ruan Qingyan just said, "I don't mean to belittle Miss Wang, but there are many people in the world who are red and white. If Miss Wang's father doesn't show his official position, he rashly puts her in the group of expensive girls. Even if her cousin has the intention to maintain her, I'm afraid she can't take full care of her. At that time, I'm afraid miss Wang, who is used to being a pearl in your family, may not be able to bear it! "

They are all Princess Party, you a small jasper mix in, can have a good life?!

"Wang Biao Mei is calm, but the expensive girls are not necessarily so." Autumn drag LAN to connect willingly, "don't tell cousin Lian, two days ago, three young ladies of Yang's family came to the palace, in front of me, they said something bad to my father, my mother and my concubine - I was angry but I had a fight with them, and it turned around and it turned out to be my fault!"

Little frown, "later I heard that the three Miss Yang wanted to join Mr. Shao."

Lian Ding's face changed after hearing these words: "it's a good saying, but we didn't consider it Alas, I'm also ashamed. Since my great grandfather, there has been no Jinshi in the Lian family, and my grandfather has grown old. I'm afraid... "

Here he shook his head and didn't go on, but Ruan Qingyan and Qiu xuilan were smart in their minds. They knew that it must be Lian Chen who was afraid of his old age. When he died one day, his nephew and son were forced to resign to guard filial piety and were beaten back to the ranks of the country gentry.

"But it's not impossible." Ruan Qingyan thought to himself that he could still use the Lian family. Although the Lian Ding was easy to make fun of, but Lian Chen and others were old, they didn't have to complain. So he said, "in my opinion, now there are two ways to use it together: one is that uncle and your father have official positions now, so they have no time to continue their scientific research. However, Lian Xiandi is young. If she studies hard, she will not be difficult for her younger sister to pay more attention to her elder brother. Second, since she is in Beijing to seek medical treatment, she can make Miss Wang serve in front of her bed. If the name of pure filial piety comes out You don't need to bow your head in front of your daughter. What do you think of Lian Xiandi? "This cheap boy is not even a scholar. Miss Wang wants to rely on him. I'm afraid she has all the children!

If we follow the path of filial piety Since they are all dutiful daughters, how can they not always keep their parents and have time to go to boudoir school?

So I can't disturb my cousin!

Ruan Qingyan narrowed his eyes and thought, "but I have worked hard to give them an idea, which is also the most righteous. If they want to cram that Miss Wang into their cousin's boudoir school, that's to admit that Miss Wang is not so valued. In this case, in case something happens, don't think that cousin Wang didn't take care of it - it was the Lian family who didn't care about their niece first! "
