On the Double Ninth Festival, the Xu family went on a trip to Lingyan Mountain. [No pop-up novel website]
The weather has not been as hot as the past two months recently. The women have changed into autumn clothes and no longer wear shirts. However, they still hold the round fans in their hands. They can fan themselves on the mountain at noon and also provide shade.
Mrs. Zhang was in a good mood, and even brought the cook and kitchen utensils from her house with her when she went out to cook crabs on the mountain.
This decision made a bunch of juniors very happy, vying to say good things in front of Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang was even more happy after hearing this, and gave some unique food to her grandchildren before going out.
The family went out in a lively manner. The women and children rode in a carriage, and brothers Xu Guyu and Xu Gulei rode with them.
Ever since the carriage went up the mountain, there had been a gap in the curtain of Xu Nuo's carriage. The scenery on the mountain is beautiful. Although you can't be rude and open the car curtain rashly, it doesn't hurt to open it a crack when there is no one on the road. Seeing that Lu didn't stop her, Xu Nuo took a look at the scenery along the way.
The group stopped near a pavilion halfway up the mountain.
The Xu family got up early, and no one else came to the pavilion yet.
There is a stream near the pavilion. Xu Gulei and his wife set up mats and tables beside the stream and sat on them to eat snacks and drink tea. Mrs. Zhang and her three daughters-in-law sat in the pavilion and ate melon. As a result, Mrs. Xu and Xu Guyu were talking near the carriage.
Xu Nuo is now trapped in a small space in the inner courtyard. He has not seen mountains and rivers for a long time. Looking at the crystal clear stream, he is in a particularly good mood. From time to time, he puts his hand in to fiddle with the pebbles at the bottom of the stream.
Xu Gulei is the king of children. He can make several juniors giggle when he talks about anything. Even Xu Nuo, who has a high laugh point, is also made to laugh non-stop. As for Xu Wuniang, who has a low laugh point, her laughter starts from the moment she sits down. Never stopped. He almost burst out laughing.
Xu Gulei was very satisfied with his battle situation. After eating and drinking, he said: "Liu Niang, I heard that you are good at playing the piano, and you have been studying with the second sister-in-law for so long. It is better to play a piece of music in a beautiful tea place today."
Xu Nuo was in a good mood and agreed kindly, waiting for the maid to bring the piano over. She then played a piece she had just learned recently. Casual and elegant, yet joyful.
After playing the song, applause came from behind.
Xu Nuo turned around and looked. It was Mrs. Ye.
Next to her stood several young men and ladies. The young ladies had blushes on their faces and beads of sweat on their foreheads. They had obviously climbed up the mountain.
"Master. Why didn't you take the carriage?" Xu Nuo and several other ladies from the Xu family stood up to salute Mrs. Ye, and then asked aloud.
A light smile appeared on Lady Ye's face. Said: "The weather is great today, but these children couldn't sit still in the car when they reached the foot of the mountain. I took them up the mountain with my attention." Although the Ye family has a strict family tradition, they pay more attention to following their own circumstances. Climbing mountains together is nothing unusual.
Xu Nuo didn't think about anything else but why the Ye family's carriage moved slower than people.
Mrs. Ye seemed to know what Xu Nuo was thinking, and she said casually: "I met people from the Wang family when I got off the car at the foot of the mountain. The reason why the carriage has not come is because I must be talking to the Wang family."
The Wang family is also a tea merchant and has connections with the Ye family. It's normal to have a conversation when you meet someone.
The Wang family had lost the opportunity to let the Xu family's tea become tribute tea a few months ago, and Wang Ying's kidnapping of Xu Pingqi and Xu Erlang was still fresh in the Xu family's memory.
Everyone in the Xu family was startled after hearing Madam Ye's words. It's not that enemies don't get together! But facing the Wang family, the Xu family has nothing to blame, and it is the Wang family that cannot hold their heads high.
Xu Guyu was the most anxious among all the people. Wang Ying's matter was luckily hidden last time, but what if the Wang family's words were dirty and they said something they shouldn't have said?
What's more, Wang Qiniang has now been disowned. If she comes to find him, will he recognize her daughter or not?
Of course not!
The Wang family should not have come up to the mountain!
With a plan in mind, he whispered something in the boy's ear, and the boy immediately ran down the mountain.
Xunuo naturally noticed Xu Guyu's immediately downcast face and the boy running down the mountain, but he calmly nodded to Mrs. Ye in response, thinking that what she said could be a warning to the Xu family.
"Liu Niang would like to climb the mountain with me. Although there is no stream on the top of the mountain, the scenery is even better." Madam Ye rarely invites people to do anything, and she promised that she has always wanted to climb the mountain. After hearing this, her eyes immediately lit up and she looked into the pavilion. , and saw Lu's promising look.
She saluted towards the pavilion and said to Mrs. Ye, "Okay."
When Xu Erlang saw it, he ran to the pavilion and asked Ding that the Wang family was coming up soon and he didn't want to stay here. The pain from the wasp stings in his eyes was still fresh in his memory.
Seeing the anxious look on her concubine's face, Mrs. Ding naturally agreed and ordered two young men to follow her.
So Xu Nuo and Xu Erlang followed the Ye family to the top of the mountain.
The Ye family is one of the most famous families in Zhejiang Province. It is a large family and has many heirs. There are nearly ten young men and women who are about ten years old who are climbing the mountain today. Their demeanor and behavior are very similar, and they have the unique elegance of the Ye family.
Xu Nuo and Ye Niangzi were at the back. She was in better health than her peers and had no problem running up the mountain. But when she heard Ye Niangzi's breathing slowly getting heavier, she knew she was a little tired, so she stayed with her from behind.
After walking for a while, he asked, "Master, would you like to go to Bianjing with me?"
Mrs. Ye has been teaching tea ceremony in the Xu family for many years. Now the second wife and her family have moved to Beijing. Xu Erniang, Xu Sanniang and Xu Qian are all waiting to get married. So in the future, Xu Wuniang will be the only one left to learn tea ceremony in the teahouse.
Xu Nuo felt from the bottom of his heart that Mrs. Ye was overqualified to stay in the Xu family. Only when she went to Bianjing would she be given the platform she deserved. Otherwise, she would not have asked such a question.
The Ye family also has several families in Bianjing. Madam Ye's younger brother is now working in Bianjing. If she goes there, she won't be alone.
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye shook her head: "The climate in the north is dry and not as good as Suzhou."
The implication is that I will not go to Bianjing.
Madam Ye refused politely, promised not to ask further questions, and found another topic to ask: "Then what are your plans in the future?"
"I visited a house a few days ago. I am satisfied with his character and appearance. He will come over at the end of this month." Mrs. Ye replied calmly.
There was thunder in Xu Nuo's ears. Madam Ye has been single for so many years, and now she is getting married?
Women in the Ye family who have learned the essence of tea ceremony cannot marry outside, and can only marry their husbands. In the early years, many people valued Madam Ye's talent and beauty and were willing to marry into the Ye family, but Madam Ye rejected them. I wonder what kind of person she is now, and she actually married into the Ye family. caught her eyes.
Xu Nuo was so curious that she suppressed her curiosity several times. She took a deep breath and asked, "I don't know when we met and which family we are from?" Mrs. Ye is so talented and talented. The temperament and vision are definitely not low, and the person you are willing to marry must be good enough, but it hurts that a good person will not marry! (To be continued)
