"Please, little brother, help me deliver this letter to your lady!" Sima Xiangru quietly stuffed a few pennies into a servant of the concierge, and wanted to ask him to help deliver the letter, but the other party was very angry. A disdainful look.
"A few pennies, you are sending a beggar!" The concierge pushed away the few pennies and went back to Cui's house, leaving Sima Xiangru staring at his back angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
He didn't have much money when he came to Chang'an, the money he saved by begging, the expenses of living in Zhuang Ji's house, the expenses of going out with Zhuang Ji occasionally, and the money he spent to get information about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty all added up back and forth. The few pennies left now are due to his saving and saving.
"A dog's eyes look down on people. When I become the master of this house, I will see how I deal with you!" Sima Xiangru gave a mouthful to the door of Cui's house, and then turned back to Zhuang Ji's house with some sadness. It's really hard to do anything.
"Brother Changqing, what's the matter?"
Zhuang Ji was drinking himself in the big courtyard at home today, looking for inspiration for writing a fu, so Sima Xiangru came back holding the piano with an ugly face, and asked with concern.
"No... Oh, brother Zhuang, it's hard to say!" At first Sima Xiangru didn't want to tell the truth about his downfall, but later he saw Zhuang, who was dressed in a not-so-luxury style, but also had one or two slaves in his family. Bogey, but I changed my mind with some thoughts in my heart.
"Brother Changqing, have you encountered any difficulties?" Zhuang Ji saw Sima Xiangru say "It's hard to explain", his face became more sad and worried, and Sima Xiangru sat up straight and asked him, and then I heard Sima Xiangru talking leisurely about his purse being 'stolen' when he went out.
"I came to Chang'an with all my belongings in it, so how can I go back to my hometown in Chengdu!" Sima Xiangru lied and successfully aroused Zhuang Ji's concern. He generously subsidized Sima Xiangru with a few pennies.
"How embarrassing is this!" Sima Xiangru looked ashamed, but Zhuang Ji kept reassuring him, "Brother Changqing lost his travel expenses in Chang'an, and it was also my brother who forced me to keep the money. I will give back the money to Brother Changqing." The travel expenses in Chengdu!"
"Then...thank you, Brother Zhuang. When I return to Chengdu, I will ask my servant to bring you the money for Brother Zhuang!" Sima Xiangru expressed gratitude, but in his heart he felt that the money he only had was a little too little, just looking at Zhuang Ji. It's not a wealthy family, and it's considered a "donation for charity" to give him the extra money. When Sima Xiangru thought about the situation of Zhuang Ji's family, he could only accept it secretly.
For the time being, Sima Xiangru got a huge sum of money. He thought he could use it to let the porter deliver letters for him, but he invested more than half of it. The letters sent by the other party did not reach Cui Lingling.
"My lord, I don't know. I'm a concierge, the lowest servant in the family. It's hard to get in touch with my young lady. If I want to send a letter to my lord, I need to pay for it. The money you give me...is only enough to get it..." With Sima Xiangru's purse and jade pendant straddling his waist, Sima Xiangru knew that the other party disliked the lack of money, so he gave him all the funds in the purse from Zhuang Ji, but only passed the letter to Cui Lingling's maid hand.
"My lord, Sister Hongzhu said, cats and dogs want to deliver letters to our lady. Our lady is very annoyed to see such things, so she withheld the letter!" If you send it, it will be delivered to the card holder.
"Red beads? Is it a kind of maid who likes to wear red rewards to serve Miss Cui?" Sima Xiangru thought about the red beads that Cui Lingling often accompanied when she traveled these days, and she had some calculations in her heart.
"That's right, Sister Hongzhu is the most embarrassing maid in front of our young lady!" The concierge's suggestion made Sima Xiangru think that she was wearing more high-end Hongzhu than ordinary rich family maids, and felt that Cui Lingling would inherit He has a lot of property, otherwise how could there be a maid who dresses more decently than ordinary rich girls, and he has seen Cui Lingling herself a few times when she went out, but she is much richer than the rich girls he met before, even Zhuo Wenjun, who has never loved gold and silver jewelry, can't compare.
"Sister Hongzhu, what do you like?" Sima Xiangru was going to get through the most important Hongzhu around Cui Lingling just like he bought Zhuo Wenjun's maidservant back then.
"Sister Hongzhu, she loves jade very much, and Miss Hongzhu loves jade ornaments the most! Didn't you see that sister Hongzhu loves to wear jade ornaments the most every time she goes out?" The porter looked at Sima Xiangru wearing it on his waist The beautiful jade pendant said this and asked Sima Xiangru to see his jade pendant, but he didn't immediately focus on his ancestral jade pendant.
This jade pendant was given to him by his grandfather when he was born. It is regarded as a family heirloom of his Sima family. Although it is not worth a thousand gold, it is worth a few taels of silver. For him, there is some meaning, and the second is that before the end of his life, this jade pendant can be regarded as his last life-saving talisman.
"My lord, think about it yourself. I can only help you pass the letter to Sister Hongzhu. Sister Hongzhu treats you like ordinary students and detains your letter! You are a talented person. I also watched it, and the son's piano music can make my lady talk about it a few times. The son's literary talent is not known, but the son's appearance..." The porter praised Sima Xiangru a few words to let Sima Xiangru know that he was there. Cui Lingling still has some differences in her heart, so she must marry Cui Lingling.
"You take this jade pendant and give it to Hongzhu!" Sima Xiangru took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the porter, making his biggest investment in marrying Cui Lingling.
In order to buy off the maidservant around Zhuo Wenjun back then, he also took all the money on his body to ask for it. Although Sima Xiangru's heart ached for a piece of jade pendant this time, compared to becoming the male master of the Cui family and sitting on millions of wealth, this is not a big deal. Except for the commemorative significance, the jade pendant is not enough to see at all.
"It's easy to say, my lord, I'll send it for you!" The porter suppressed his disdain for Sima Xiangru, smiled and entered Cui's house with the jade pendant.
***
"Miss Lingling, Sima Xiangru really brought the jade pendant in!" Hong Zhu took Sima Xiangru's jade pendant into the room and told Cui Lingling, who was reading a book, Cui Lingling closed the book and glanced at the jade pendant, and asked Hong Zhu to put it away For Xia Xiyan, after thinking for a while, let Hong Zhu start contacting Sima Xiangru tomorrow.
"This Sima Xiangru has nothing new to show his literary talents except playing the piano every day. Now that he has finally sent his letter in, I have to give some response. After all, there are still many big dramas to sing in the future! "Cui Lingling put down the book in her hand, looked at the compound outside the window and said coldly, Hong Ling nodded her head in agreement, "I heard from the concierge that they cheated Sima Xiangru of a lot of money. I borrowed it, and the jade pendant was also given away, and I can’t afford any money after thinking about it! He didn’t have Wang Ji who helped him so much in Chang’an, so he just gave him hundreds of thousands of pendants!”
"Then Wang Ji, I heard that he is willing to spend all his money. I'm afraid that after Sima Xiangru succeeds in scheming Zhuo Gong, he will share the cup! But I didn't expect that Zhuo Gong would steal the chicken and lose the rice!" Cui Lingling He said these words with a smile, but he thought of something and sat back sadly, sighing in a low voice that Hongzhu couldn't hear clearly.
"Mr. Zhuo is the real wise man, just like... my father!"
"Miss Lingling, you have read all the books in the morning, eat some food now, and rest for a while! You are not in good health, don't work too hard!" Hongzhu didn't hear Cui Lingling's last words clearly, but saw Cui Lingling's thin body, But when he thought of something, he persuaded her to rest with some distress.
Cui Lingling heard Hongzhu's words, but she didn't go to rest, but asked Hongzhu to show her the letter sent by Sima Xiangru.
"I'm afraid Zhuogong is also waiting impatiently, and I have to speed up here, so as to rescue Zhuogong!"
Seeing that Cui Lingling didn't listen, Hong Zhu reluctantly took out Sima Xiangru's letter from her sleeve and handed it to Cui Lingling.
"This Sima Xiangru has a good literary talent. In this letter, he really took great pains to show me his literary talent. If you are a young girl who is not experienced in the world, I am afraid that it will be easy to be attracted by his literary talent. Missy is in love!"
"It's just that Sima Xiangru, with his literary talent, is using it to flatter and trick rich girls. He just wants to do nothing and live the life of a rich man. He is really a literati without roots, no matter how talented he is. , and that disgusting sour gas!"
Cui Lingling only read the letter that Sima Xiangru worked so hard to send in once, and didn't read it again. Instead, she sat aside and let Hong Zhu go down to make arrangements.
"It's time to collect the net properly!" After Hongzhu went down, Cui Lingling looked at her hands and said these words coldly.
***
"Your lady likes my fu?" Sima Xiangru looked at Hong Zhu with some joy, and Hong Zhu nodded. Sima Xiangru smiled again and said to Hong Zhu, "Thank you, Hong Sister Zhu helped me deliver a letter to your lady!"
Hong Zhu blushed because of Sima Xiangru's actions, and then asked in a low voice what letter Sima Xiangru wanted to give to Cui Lingling.
When Sima Xiangru saw that Hong Zhu wanted to take the initiative to deliver a letter for him, he was very happy and immediately wrote a letter, asking Hong Zhu to deliver it sincerely. Hong Zhu took the letter and smiled at Sima Xiangru before turning away and leaving Sima Xiangru was overjoyed at her recent luck.
"It's a transfer! The value of that jade pendant, now with Hongzhu's help, it will be a matter of time before Miss Cui falls in love with me!" Sima Xiangru clapped his hands and said happily, at the same time confidently felt that Cui Lingling loved me. It's easy to fall in love with him and marry him.
Cui Lingling looked at all these things coldly, but she still kept in touch with Sima Xiangru in letters and chatted for a few days, and then let Sima Xiangru enter Cui's house through the back door on a day when she thought it was about the same, and chatted with her face to face. Some 'each other' are interested in lyrics and Fu.
That day Sima Xiangru tried his best to show his charm to Cui Lingling, and Cui Lingling also cooperated to let herself slowly "worship" and "admire" Sima Xiangru.
"Lingling, she is really the most outstanding woman I have ever seen!" Sima Xiangru took a poem written by Cui Lingling on the spot, boasting again and again, making Cui Lingling very 'happy', but at the same time, he did not forget to say to Cui Lingling Find out how she treats him differently than other women.
Cui Lingling left a little 'coyly' because of what he said. Seeing this, Sima Xiangru felt proud, thinking that he was sure to marry the rich woman Cui Lingling, and he walked like a wind.
However, just when Sima Xiangru thought it was the right time to spend his life with Cui Lingling who was getting better with him, he got something from Cui Lingling that made him feel uncomfortable.
"Lingling has to be a widow for five years before remarrying?" Sima Xiangru became a little impatient when he learned from Hongzhu that Cui Lingling couldn't marry him immediately. If he couldn't marry Cui Lingling immediately, how would he use Cui Lingling's property.
"My lady is pitiful. When Mr. Cui died, he left all his property to our lady. The only requirement for my lady is that he can't remarry for five years after his death!" It's hard to say anything.
Hongzhu took Sima Xiangru's situation into consideration calmly, and waited until Sima Xiangru couldn't sit still in a hurry, and then proposed to Sima Xiangru an idea to make Sima Xiangru live a 'good' life.
"A few pennies, you are sending a beggar!" The concierge pushed away the few pennies and went back to Cui's house, leaving Sima Xiangru staring at his back angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
He didn't have much money when he came to Chang'an, the money he saved by begging, the expenses of living in Zhuang Ji's house, the expenses of going out with Zhuang Ji occasionally, and the money he spent to get information about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty all added up back and forth.
