What could Jiayin say? Of course, she obediently agreed, and was successfully kept by her grandmother's side.
Jiaren and the others rode in the carriage, and seeing their younger sister standing expectantly in front of the door, they couldn't help but laugh.
Actually, when she can go out freely on weekdays, my younger sister spends most of her time lazing around at home, and she won't move an inch unless her grandma urges her.
Now that she's really been allowed to stay home and be lazy, she's started to feel restless and want to go out again.
Li Ge'er said, "Big brother, let's go to the market this afternoon. If we find any interesting little trinkets, let's buy some for our little sister."
“Great! My sister said the other day that she ran out of gold-flecked trinkets, so I’ll buy her some.” Jiaren agreed, but the carriage stopped just as he was about to speak.
It turned out that Mr. Jiang and Gu Li were standing by the roadside, so Jiaren opened the window and bowed.
"Mr. Jiang, are you heading into the city?" Jiaren asked.
“No,” Mr. Jiang waved his hand and said, “I’m short of some supplies and I was planning to have Gu Li make a trip for me. Where are you going?”
Jiaren replied, "Mr. Momei in the city is holding a poetry gathering, and we plan to go and join in the fun."
Mr. Jiang said enviously, "Mr. Mo Mei's poetry gathering only happens once a year, it must be very lively."
"It's a pity I have an exam at school today, otherwise I would have gone with you to broaden my horizons."
After saying that, he pulled Guli over and said, "Although Guli is my page, he is quite well-read. If it is convenient for you, could you take him to broaden his horizons?"
“When he comes back at night, he can tell me something new and interesting.”
Gu Li is now fifteen or sixteen years old. He usually goes out and helps the princess manage her business. When he has free time, he still eats and lives at the school.
Although Mr. Tong and Mr. Jiang were nominally master and servant, they were often more like elder brother and younger brother.
Therefore, Jiaren and others were willing to give Mr. Chiang face.
“Great! We’ve just finished the poetry gathering and we’re going to the shopping street. If you need anything, Gu Li can just buy it for you then.”
After Jiaren finished speaking, he asked Zheng Qi, who was sitting at the back of the car, to open the door.
Gu Li bowed respectfully and then got into the car.
The carriage continued rolling forward.
Gu Li, who was usually quiet and reserved, surprisingly spoke up this time, asking, "Your Highness knows about the poetry gathering, and you probably want to go and watch it, right?"
The Jiaren brothers all nodded, and Cat Brother even said with great amusement, "Just now, my sister's eyes were practically glued to the carriage, and she followed us."
After chatting idly for a while, the group entered the city and arrived at an elegant villa in the south of the city.
The plaque above the gate reads three characters: Ink Plum Courtyard.
This is Mr. Mo Mei's quiet residence. The name of the courtyard and the elegant name of Mr. Mo Mei are actually due to the plum garden in the courtyard.
There are also more than a dozen black plum trees in the plum garden, which are very rare and precious.
As soon as Jiaren and his brothers got off the bus, they ran into Lu Zong and Jia Xu. Since they knew each other, they naturally exchanged pleasantries.
After they entered the courtyard chatting and laughing, a servant came forward to lead them to the plum garden.
There were many guests today. Apart from seven or eight highly respected gentlemen in the pavilion, the rest of the guests had seats set up outside the pavilion.
It was getting cold, so the pavilion was surrounded by brocade, leaving only one side open to face the guests.
Of course, behind the tables and chairs outside the pavilion, there were also screens and charcoal braziers for heating.
Even so, it still can't be considered warm.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of hot tea, and servants were always there to refill it.
Guo Wenhao, Zhimin, and Xiujie arrived a quarter of an hour early. Seeing Jiaren and the others arrive, they quickly went forward.
This guy is called "senior brother," that guy is called "elder brother," it's quite lively.
They were all fine young men, each with a tall and upright figure and outstanding appearance, naturally attracting attention.
Especially the three Li brothers.
Jiaren wore a sky-blue brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a dark blue cloak, which made him appear even more gentle and refined.
Li Ge'er was dressed in moon white, with a silver crown binding her hair, a dark blue embroidered cloud-patterned belt, and a camel-colored cloak, also embroidered with cloud patterns to match the belt.
He was also the most handsome among his brothers, with fair skin, dark eyebrows and bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. When he talked and laughed, it was as if all the flowers and guests in the garden paled in comparison.
Even the most handsome young man couldn't be more charming.
Cat Brother was dressed in royal blue, with a red gold belt, a ruyi sash, a jade pendant, and a dark red brocade cloak.
He was naturally cheerful and outgoing, always with a smile on his face, and appeared very energetic.
The other two, Lu Zong and Jia Xu, were also well-dressed and possessed an extraordinary air about them.
Zhimin and Xiujie came from a prestigious family and had been pampered since childhood, so they naturally exuded an air of nobility.
Only Guo Wenhao, who was not tall and rather thin, had a somewhat aloof look in his eyes.
Moreover, since he had no parents or elders to take care of him at home, his clothes and shoes were all very conventional, and he didn't even wear a cloak out in this kind of weather.
Jiaren felt sorry for Guo Wenhao, who was all alone and helpless. Since they were fellow disciples, he felt he should take care of him, so he took off his cloak and draped it over Guo Wenhao's shoulders.
Guo Wenhao quickly declined, "Senior brother, I'm not cold."
"You should wear it. You're already weak, be careful not to catch a cold." Jiaren nodded to Zheng Qi, and Zheng Qi ran out.
Jiaren then said to Guo Wenhao, "We brought a spare in the carriage, and we'll get it soon."
Li Ge'er also laughed and said, "When we went out, my sister insisted on taking two more cloaks. We thought it was too much trouble, but we didn't expect them to come in handy now."
Guo Wenhao tugged at his cloak, somewhat apologetically, "I left in a hurry and forgot to put on an extra cloak."
His servant also shrank back. The master can forget, but if he, as a servant, also forgets, he is incompetent.
Jiaren often visited the Guo family, and upon hearing this, he advised, "Even if you don't like being served by maids, you should still find a matron."
"When it comes to managing clothing, food, housing, and transportation, women are more thorough."
Guo Wenhao smiled but remained silent. His servant, however, seemed to have seized the opportunity and boldly interjected, "Young Master Li, could you please persuade our young master? I've said so too, but he just won't listen."
"The young master said that after he marries the young mistress, all the old women and maids will take advantage of their seniority and bully her!"
These words not only made Jiaren laugh and cry, but also made Li Ge, Lu Zong and others laugh.
Guo Wenhao's face turned bright red. He glared at the servant and quickly explained, "I was just joking with him."
"I'd overheard someone mention it a few times before, so I just said it offhand!"
"Haha, Wenhao, I didn't realize you were already so doting on your wife before you even married her!"
Cat Brother was the only one in the group younger than Guo Wenhao. He put his arm around Guo Wenhao's shoulder and made faces at him, making Guo Wenhao blush even more.
The crowd burst into laughter, and when bystanders looked over, they didn't seem to care.
Inside the pavilion, several elderly gentlemen stroked their beards and asked Mr. Momei a question.
"Old Mei, whose kids are those? They're really good!"
Mr. Mo Mei snorted. These old friends were all familiar with each other, so he didn't want to hold it against them for calling him an old man.
After peeking into the garden, he said, "It should be the three sons of the Li family of Suijintan, two sons of the Liu family, one son of the Jia family, plus the heir of the Prince of Zhennan, and the thinnest one is the only remaining grandson of the Guo family of Taihua Academy."
An old man, hearing him recount the names with such familiarity, asked in surprise, "You actually know all these younger people?"
Mr. Mo Mei coughed twice, looking slightly embarrassed and guilty.
Actually, he had another purpose in holding this poetry gathering today...
Served at midnight~~~~
