Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 715 Letters

Liu Xi went out to catch up with Liu Shen, dragged him to a remote place, and said in a low voice, "Now that you know that Mr. Liu Juntang is ill, it is inappropriate for Shen'er to go empty-handed. Aunt happened to bring two packets of warming medicinal herbs. Let's go and visit Young Master Liu."

   Liu Shen was in a fit of anger and refused to raise his hand. Knowing his temper, Liu Xi handed over the medicinal herbs to the servant beside him, coaxing him, "Shen'er is the eldest grandson of Yijiang Hou's mansion, and is the most knowledgeable and reasonable in our mansion. I'm happy, but in front of Mr. Liu, he will definitely be gentle and courteous. Come on, auntie will give you some of your favorite simmered taro to talk about Zen, and I'll wait for you to eat it."

   After being pushed by his little aunt, he took a few steps forward, before Liu Shen put away his reluctant expression, took what he thought was the most decent step, and walked towards the inner courtyard of Fenghua Building with his sleeves thrown. The boy with the gift immediately followed, and without waiting for Liu Shen's instructions, he pulled the passing shopkeeper and asked, "Where does Liu Juntang live?"

The shop clerk who almost let go of the tray in his hand was annoyed, but looking at Liu Shen's clothes, he knew that this young master was something he couldn't offend, so he politely replied, "Liu Gongzi lives in Tianzi No. Go to the end, there is a sign on the courtyard gate."

  The little servant led the way in front of his head. After finding Tianzi No. 1 courtyard, he raised his hand and slammed the closed courtyard door. The servant of the Liu family who guarded the courtyard door slowly opened the courtyard door a crack and looked out.

   The young servant said loudly, "This is the residence of Liu Juntang Liu Gongzi? Please go in and let me know, and say that Liu Shen son of Yijiang Houfu is here to visit."

   The servant hurriedly opened the door, bowed his hands and bowed to see you, and then apologized, "Young Master is really sorry, my young master is sick in bed and can't get up, so he can't see guests."

   When the young servant saw Liu Shen frowning, he immediately said loudly, "You **** is so unruly! My young master comes to visit, no matter whether Liu Gongzi sees or not, you should go in and tell me, don't hurry up!"

   The servants of the Liu family had no choice but to cup their hands and said, "Yes, the villain will go now, please wait a moment."

   "It's really from a small place, and I don't understand the rules at all!" The boy pushed open the courtyard door, bent down and raised his hand, "Master, please come in."

   Liu Shen, with his hands behind his back, saw that a maid was cooking medicine under the west wing of the hospital.

  Yi Jianghou Mansion? Isn't that the mansion that has grudges with his mentor? Liu Juntang, who was reading, raised his eyes and commanded calmly, "No."

"Yes." The servant exited, closed the door gently, and walked quickly to the courtyard door to bow and salute, "Please forgive me, my young master fell asleep with medicine, but the villain waited for a few calls and failed to wake up. When the young master wakes up, the villain will tell the young master about your visit."

   "Since Young Master Liu is ill, it is inconvenient for me to enter the door to disturb me. I will come to see you another day." Liu Shen nodded politely and turned to leave.

   Young Master didn't say to put down the gift, the servant turned around and went after Liu Shen with the medicine bag. The servants of the Liu family kept bowing and waited for the master and servants of the Liu family to disappear before returning to the courtyard and closing the door.

   Liu Shen returned to the private room in the front yard and simply said, "Liu Juntang is too ill to get up, so I didn't go in to disturb him."

   Liu Xi quickly asked, "Then can you give the medicinal materials to Young Master Liu?"

   Liu Shen shook his head, "I didn't pay attention, the medicinal materials were always carried in fifty-nine."

   Liu Xi was so anxious that he wanted to stamp his feet, and turned his eyes to signal Mrs. Sheng to go out and have a look. Just as Mrs. Sheng was about to go out, she saw Ju Fang, the steward-in-law beside the eldest lady, bringing in the medicine bag. Jufang handed the beautifully packaged medicine bag to Mrs. Sheng and smiled, "Wu Jiu said that this box belonged to the fourth girl, and asked the maid to bring it in for the girl."

   Seeing that Liu Xi's face was very ugly, Liu Ruyan was happy and said with a smile, "Since they are sick, we can't disturb them. Let's have dinner."

   Liu Xi, who had something in his heart, had no appetite to eat. After a few bites, he put down his chopsticks, got up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going out for a walk."

  Liu Ruyan instructed, "This is an inn, there are many people, Jufang, you accompany the fourth girl."

   "Yes." Ju Fang responded and stood beside Liu Xi. Liu Xi gritted his teeth secretly and took Madam Sheng and Ju Fang out of the elegant room.

  Liu Lan, who was biting his chopsticks, asked strangely, "Mother, did she come to Liu Juntang?"

  Liu Ruyan lowered her face, "I don't know the rules, what should you call her?"

   Liu Lan reluctantly said, "Mother, is my aunt running towards Liu Juntang?"

  Liu Ruyan lowered her eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense, she went out to get talisman water."

  Liu Lan pouted, "Mother, my daughter is full and wants to go out for a walk."

   "Go." Liu Ruyan understood what her daughter was going to do and didn't stop her. After her daughter went out, she motioned her maid to guard outside the door, and then she gave her son a piece of fried golden taro, and said gently, "Shen Er, mother knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances now, and mother also feels distressed..."

   "I'm not wronged!" Liu Shen's hoarse voice in the period of voice change contained strong resistance.

Liu Ruyan didn't care about his son's attitude, and continued, "The way your father is now, we mother and three can't count on him. Mother has discussed with your grandfather, and she will send you out of Beijing in two years. Go to your grandfather and learn to do things with him."

   Liu Shen's thoughts moved, and his tone softened, "What are you doing with your grandfather?"

"Mother's stupid child." Liu Ruyan gently advised, "Life is not only about being an official, you can follow your grandfather to read, as long as you write good lyrics and songs, and write good articles, you can still write books. Stand up and stand out. At that time, others will only mention your knowledge and talent, not who you are. You are already smart, as long as you work hard, you will be famous and famous before the age of 30. return."

  Liu Shen's eyes lit up, "Mother, I'll go this year."

  Liu Ruyan shook her head gently, "Also..."

   "When will we wait there? My son has no place in the Imperial Household Prison! Staying in Kang'an would be a waste of time..." Seeing his mother's face darken, Liu Shen's voice became lower and lower.

   When Liu Lan ran outside the courtyard, she found that Liu Xi was looking for something in the small garden of Fenghua Building with her head lowered, so she stepped forward and asked, "What is the fourth aunt looking for?"

  Liu Xi raised his eyes pretending to be calm, "I didn't find anything, I just looked at the grass buds that burrowed out of the ground and was very happy."

   lies! When I am blind? There's no joy in your face! Liu Lan rolled her eyes and used her embroidered shoes to smash the grass that just emerged from the ground. I'll show you!

   After looking around for a while, Liu Xi followed her sister-in-law into the carriage back to the house in disappointment and panic.

   After returning to the room and closing the door, Jufang handed the letter hidden in her sleeve to Liu Ruyan and whispered, "Madam, this is the letter from the fourth girl hidden in the gift box."

  Liu Ruyan snorted softly, raised her slender fingers stained with cardamom, shook the letter and read it again, her eyes fell on the signature of the word "Xi" at the end of the letter, and sarcastically said, "It's really... shameless."

  Jufang said happily, "With this letter, the next thing will be easier."
