Mr. Xu nodded reassuringly and said, "That's good. However, with Si Niang's temperament, I'm afraid she won't be peaceful in the capital. If we can get engaged during this period, we should make it early, or we might as well stay at home." [No pop-up novel website]"
He also agreed to marry Xu Qian to the Zhang family.
Mr. Xu always puts profit first, and expanding the Xu family's business is his primary consideration.
Whether it was his tolerance to the Zhang family over the years, or the marriage between Xu Guyu and Xu Gucheng, or even the marriage of their concubines and children, they were all choices he made based on the development of the Xu family.
After a few words, the two went to the study room to talk in depth about what happened after Xu Gucheng arrived in Bianjing.
Mr. Xu had already made a list of which houses Xu Gucheng should visit after arriving in Bianjing. As for which houses he should give what gifts, he also had some presets.
Although Xu Gucheng had his own plans in mind, he still calmly listened to Mrs. Xu's instructions.
Xu Nuo only found out that Lu's hand was cured when he came back from school in the evening. He went to Yingcheng Courtyard without having time to drink water, and heard the distant and long music of the piano in the distance.
It's really good!
Ji Xuan’s medical skills are truly amazing!
"Mom!" Xu Nuo waited until the song ended before entering the room.
Lu smiled lightly, beckoned Xunuo to sit next to her, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to learn this piece of music?"
"The child just wants to listen, not play by himself." Xunuo snuggled against Lu, smelling the fragrance of her body, with a satisfied look on his face.
"You kid, why are you getting lazy?" Lu grabbed Xu Nuo's hand and put it on the strings.
Xunuo held Lu's hand and looked at it carefully. He found that her hand was as white and smooth as before, and the shallow marks that could be seen yesterday were gone.
Ji Xuan is really amazing. He healed all the scars on his hands in just two days, and now he can play the piano without any problems. Although I think so. But she still couldn't help but say: "Mom, your hands are good, don't overwork yourself."
"I just wanted to test how well my hand had healed. Unexpectedly, I felt nothing while playing the piano, so I didn't stop. I finished playing the song." Lu's peach blossom eyes were full of smiles, bright and clear. Bright, the poisonous needle prick on her on the Qiqiao Festival did not have any impact on her. In the past few days, she was much calmer than Xu Nuo and Xu Gucheng, taking medicine and applying ointment on time.
As for Aunt Du, she only sent a message that I don't owe you or Siniang.
A few days later, Uncle Du came to visit in person and gave a large gift to the Xu family with an extremely humble attitude. It was completely invisible that he was the richest man in Suzhou. He wanted to meet Aunt Du, but Xu Gucheng declined her invitation and left angrily.
After Zhang Xian got Zhang's consent, he returned to Hangzhou without stopping and told his family about the matter. The Zhang family was naturally happy.
Firstly, Xu Qian is already good enough, and secondly, Xu Gucheng is about to be promoted to a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and has a bright future. Being married to the Xu family at this time will be very beneficial to the future development of the Zhang family.
There was no hesitation. The Zhang family hired a matchmaker to come to the Xu family to propose marriage. When the matchmaker came, they happened to run into Uncle Du who came out angrily. Uncle Du asked. He almost fainted from anger.
It's hard to find a woman in the whole of Suzhou who can compare with his niece in terms of talent, knowledge, and looks. Maybe the Xu family didn't have the foresight to let the Zhang family's matchmaker in!
Uncle Du wanted to talk to Xu Gucheng for argument, but he couldn't find anyone, so he had to go back to Du's house to discuss the matter with his father.
Xu Gucheng's departure date is scheduled for July 23, and Xu Pingqi will go to Beijing with him. In his words, the man is not afraid of the heat, and the journey can be regarded as a test. As for Ji Xuan. Decided to go to Yingtian Academy to study, and set off together with Lu Shixuo.
Xu Pingqi is leaving. A group of teenagers from the Ding family academy made a fuss about having a banquet at the Xu family.
Although Xu Pingqi never revealed a word, Lu often walked around with Mrs. Ding Er. After learning about it, they naturally arranged a banquet and set it at Unity Time on July 20th. Xu Pingqi was asked to write a post and send it to his classmate's home.
Xu Pingqi is usually calm and seldom talkative, but he is quite popular in Ding Family Academy. A dozen young men came to him that day.
The banquet was held in the hall of the outer courtyard. The chrysanthemums were blooming all around. A group of teenagers were sitting on the mats in the court, reciting poems, or talking about some of the hottest topics at the moment. It was very lively.
"Xu Erlang, if you leave right now, you won't even be able to attend the Chrysanthemum Fair!"
"He is less than ten years old, so he can't go to Suzhou if he stays!"
"Hey, I forgot that I am four years older than him, but I think we are the same age."
"The 15th Lang is here. Why are you here so late? I will punish you by composing a poem."
Ye Qingchen came later and brought a set of tea sets to Xu Pingqi. A young man with quick hands opened the box. Everyone gathered around to take a look and found that all the tea sets were very exquisite.
A group of people asked Ye Qingchen to order tea.
Ye Qingchen rarely ordered tea outside, but today he had to see Xu Pingqi off, so he didn't refuse. He rolled up his sleeves and took out the tea set from the box himself.
"It's rare for Ye Shishi to order tea. You have to use good water and good tea! Xu Erlang, go find some dew or spring water, and then find some Mingqian tea." Several teenagers were very happy and pushed Xu Pingqi to let him find something. .
Xu Pingqi doesn't like ordering tea very much, so there are no good tea balls in the house, let alone spring water and dew.
But he couldn't spoil everyone's interest, so he thought of his promise and headed towards the inner courtyard.
When Xu Gucheng arrived at Mingjin Pavilion, Xu Nuo was having a great time eating watermelon. Although there were no water stains on his face, his hands were very messy and full of watermelon water.
"Erlang, aren't you having a banquet with your classmates? Why are you here?" Xu Nuo awkwardly put down the melon peel that she had chewed to the bottom, hiding her dirty hands behind her back, and asked like a lady.
Xu Pingqi pretended not to see it and asked: "I remember my grandfather gave some tea to Sixth Sister during the Qingming Festival. I wonder if there is anything left?"
"Yes, Chuntang, bring me the tea basket that my grandfather gave me." Xu Nuo found a handkerchief from behind and wiped his hands casually. He didn't ask Xu Pingqi what he wanted the tea ball for, and gave it to him directly.
Xu Pingqi took it, thanked him, and said shyly, but without losing his usual composure: "I wonder if Sixth Sister has spring water or dew?"
Xu Nuo was a little curious and asked, "Would you like some tea?" She remembered that Xu Pingqi was not interested in the tea ceremony.
"Ye Shishiro is going to order tea. I'm here to find some tea balls and water for tea." Xu Pingqi said.
Xu Nuo became interested as soon as he heard it. Ye Qingchen was the heir to the tea ceremony cultivated by the Ye family. He heard that the tea ceremony was on par with some great scholars. He rarely orders tea outside on weekdays, but today he ordered tea at Xu's house, which is really rare.
Xu Nuo ordered Qi Qi to bring some water and give it to Xu Pingqi, the boy waiting outside.
…
Not long after Xu Pingqi left, Xu Nuo escaped from Chuntang's surveillance and slipped out, went to the front yard where the banquet was being held, and hid behind a tree.
Her steps were light and her breathing was shallow, so no one noticed her standing there.
From a distance, I saw Ye Qingchen wearing a black shirt and sitting in front of the tea table. His every move showed elegance, and his expression and tea ordering actions were integrated.
Time seems to stand still for the aroma of tea in his hand. This is the essence of tea ordering, elegance and comfort, without fighting against the world. (To be continued)
