Crybaby Transmigrated into a Little Husband Chapter 38

Chapter 38: 贈酒

[Giving Wine as Present]

---

Sitting in her room, looking at the fresh flowers that change every day, Tang Shiman thought of Ji Ling again, and the thought that she might marry Mr Li in the near future made her heart feel bad.

 

“Miss, Mr Li has sent an invitation.” Seeing that the young lady did not seem to be in a good mood, the maid waited very carefully and quickly retreated after handing over the invitation to the young lady, not daring to look more at her.

 

Regarding her maid’s behaviour, Tang Shiman, who was already unconcerned at this time, did not pursue the matter further, but just took the envelope in the maid’s hand, opened it and looked at the content inside, and after thinking for a while, she still said to the maid beside her, “Help me to freshen up and dress up, I’ll be going out later on.”

 

“Yes.” Hearing Tang Shiman’s command, all of them hurriedly brought the sets of dresses they wore when they went out, as well as the newly made clothes for Tang Shiman to choose from.

 

Looking at her own clothes, she always felt that they were still not enough, but thinking of the content of the invitation, she did not pick any more. So she reached out and pointed to the white dress, and said gently, “Then that one, ba, it looks very suitable.”

 

By the time Tang Shiman had changed her clothes and was ready to arrive at the banquet venue, it was just a little earlier than the appointed time. When Tang Shiman’s carriage arrived, a waiter came and welcomed the guests.

 

“May I ask if you are also here to participate in the Poetry Festival?” The waiter looked at the young lady with her outstanding appearance, his face full of pleasing smiles.

 

Tang Shiman gave him a slight smile, then said politely, “Yes, please guide me up.”

 

“Yes.” Seeing that this young lady was so courteous and not as rude as others, he became even more enthusiastic.

 

Looking at the restaurant in front of her, Tang Shiman stepped in.

 

The young masters and young ladies here have their own circles, and this poetry party was also organised for the purpose of making friends, and those with a little bit of prestige would be invited. This time, they also chartered the third floor as the venue for their poetry meeting. Even for the young ladies, if they know a few lines of poetry, calligraphy and painting, it will also make people more desirable, and have the title of a talented girl.

 

As soon as Tang Shiman stepped up, she was noticed, but it was Li Xiao who came the fastest. Looking at the woman in front of them, and even though they are trying their best to restrain themselves, they still can’t hide it from the eyes of those who feel the stare. This time his parents agreed to go to discuss the wedding, according to reason they should not meet, but friends invited them, coupled with his own selfishness, Li Xiao also sent the invitation into Tang Shiman’s hands. “Miss Tang.”

 

“Mr Li.” Tang Shiman looked at Li Xiao and smiled softly, directly flashing to the eyes of many people on the side. In particular, some of the young masters were actually very interested in Tang Shiman, but they could see that the two were ambiguous with each other. “Sorry, is it because I came too late.”

 

“No matter, come just in time.” Talking to Tang Shiman, Li Xiao subconsciously softened his voice, and then listening to the coughing sound that kept coming from behind, he could not help but feel a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly guided Tang Shiman into the room.

 

He said that he had booked the third floor. The third floor is actually an open hall, and there is a pen and ink in the middle of the room, and there are some gentlemen and ladies standing around, some writing, some commenting, and it looks very lively, but now Tang Shiman is walking with Li Xiao, and some people’s attention is attracted to it unconsciously.

 

There is even a frivolous gentleman, looking at Tang Shiman’s dressing, mouth coaxing: “Since our Miss Tang is late, later let Miss Tang start, okay.”

 

Obviously on time, but being said by Gongzi like that, Tang Shiman did not open her mouth to refute, just slightly mischievous, said: “Then Shiman refuse would be impolite, just Shiman in the first row, only hope that Zhang Gongzi in the second row.”

 

“No problem.” Seeing Tang Shiman say it, that Mr Zhang agreed, and the atmosphere around them became lively because of the two people’s jokes.

 

While laughing with the crowd, as if sensing something, Tang Shiman lifted her head to look at the fourth floor, only to see Ji Ling, who had appeared there at some point, standing there, looking in their direction, and seemed to be looking in her direction. Thinking of this, Tang Shiman blushed, and then saw Ji Ling turn around and enter the room.

 

Looking at Ji Ling’s back, Tang Shiman subconsciously felt a little lost. Li Xiao, who had been standing beside her, realised this and asked with concern, “Miss Tang, what’s wrong?”

 

“Nothing. It’s just that I seem to have met someone I know, and now it looks like I’ve made a mistake.” Tang Shiman smiled softly towards him.

 

“Let’s go over there ba, Brother Zhang has already shouted a few times.” Hearing Tang Shiman’s words, Li Xiao didn’t doubt it and agreed to go over with her. However, when they turned around, Tang Shiman still took a glance upstairs.

 

The fact is that they are not as good as the authentic poetry clubs, but in fact they are just a social club for people who have read a little bit of books. Although it is not as powerful as authentic readers, there is no lack of people with literary talent. In this basically are some of each other know each other, and even family history quite, Tang Shiman can be mixed into is also spent a great deal of effort, only to get the recognition of the people.

 

In Tang Shiman turned her head, the back of the people also quickly followed saying it out, just the atmosphere here just when they arrived, only to see a few small two each holding a tray, on top of a few bottles of wine, knowledgeable people will know that this is the restaurant’s most expensive one of the wine, gorgeous intoxicated. The taste is very good, but not drunk. These are for these people who like to socialise, the most favourite order of wine.

 

Just looking at the wine served by the waiter, as one of the organisers, Li Xiao felt very strange and directly asked, “Excuse me, are these the wrong wines? We did not order.”

 

To this very courteous gentleman in front of him, the attitude of the waiter was also very good, bowed to him, and then said: “This is what our boss heard about that Miss Tang and his friends are here to have fun, specially let us send over, to show that his little bit of intention.”

 

“May I ask who your boss is?” Hearing the words of the waiter, Li Xiao’s first reaction was what the waiter meant by Miss Tang of course was Tang Shiman, just not sure.

 

Hearing Li Xiao’s words, the waiter looked very proud, straightened his chest and said, “Our boss is the youngest master of the Ji family, Mr Ji.” After saying that, he politely retired.

 

Hearing his words, the people who had been silently paying attention to this matter suddenly looked at Tang Shiman with a different expression, even the ladies who used to be at odds with Tang Shiman looked at Tang Shiman differently when they heard his words. Originally vaguely heard rumours, there are still some people secretly guessing that their relationship with Ji Ling is not good, but now it seems that it is not the same as what they thought.

 

Not caring about the speculations of the people around her, after the waiter said those words, Tang Shiman’s heart beat violently. She knew that she still had a place in Ji Ling’s heart. Looking at the priceless wine and the gazes around her looking at her, Tang Shiman felt more and more relieved.

 

“Shiman, you’re familiar with Ji Gongzi?” A woman who was usually at odds with Tang Shiman privately looked at Tang Shiman and came forward to ask softly, looking like a sisterly love.

 

Tang Shiman looked at her and said very modestly, “No, it’s just that Mr.Ji takes better care of us.” In an instant, she felt that the gazes around her were swirling around her body, and she felt a little more envious than before.

 

The woman looked at Tang Shiman as she surveyed the things that had been delivered to her, with a bit of acidity in her tone, “Shiman, it seems that you’re being modest, when Mr Ji makes a move, it’s something so expensive.”

 

Hearing the two people talking, Zhang Gongzi seems to be a little impatient. He does not like these flowery intestines words, looking at them loudly said: “This time it is thanks to Miss Tang’s blessing, we can drink a lot. Next time,you guys have to let her order ah.”

 

“Miss Tang does not need to give in, you guys better worry about yourself ba.” I don’t know where the voice came from, but it caused a lot of laughter.

 

For the next few hours, it seemed that because of this incident, Tang Shiman had become the most talked about woman here. In her spare time, looking at the people around her, Tang Shiman felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. If a gift from Ji Ling can make herself the centre of attention among the crowd, then if she becomes Mrs. Ji, these people will envy her even more.

 

Completely unaware what his own sweetheart is thinking about, sitting not far away from her  Li Xiao eyes from time to time to look at his admired woman, after thinking about this incident, may be the possibility of him marrying Tang Shiman home will become big, what their parents worried about, those things will not happen.

 

Returning to the study, Feng Ling stood at the side, unable to understand what his young master was going to do, but just thought of his own identity and did not open his mouth to ask. It was only when he saw that the accounts were being sorted out and a new treasurer selected that he remembered what he had found out. So he hurriedly walked to Ji Ling’s front and respectfully said, “Young master, what you said last time, my subordinate seems to have found out a little bit about it.”

 

Hearing Feng Ling’s words, Ji Ling let go of the accounts in his hands and just looked at him, waiting for his next words.

 

Seeing his own young master staring solemnly at him, Feng Ling straightened his back and looked at him and said, “The old master of the Tang House passed away in the fifth year after the current Lady Tang entered the house, that is, two years ago, but according to the memories of the subordinates I found, the old master’s health had always been very good, but I don’t know why his health began to deteriorate after Madam Tang’s passing away. Another point is that before he passed away, Master Tang instructed his subordinates to listen to Madam Tang and work for her. After this Madame Tang took charge of the Tang Mansion, many of the old men were replaced, even the housekeeper was no exception.”

 

After hearing Feng Ling’s words, Ji Ling’s complexion was still pale, and he did not seem to have any reaction. Soon after, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Feng Ling and ordered, “Go and find out if any of the people who served beside that Old Master Tang are still alive.”

 

Hearing Ji Ling’s command, Feng Ling quickly responded. Ji Ling then started to check his books, and soon after, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Feng Ling and said, “If Miss Tang wants to come to the residence to pay her a visit, then let her come, just don’t let the madam know about it.”

 

After Ji Ling’s words, Feng Ling’s heart was shocked, just looking at the young master who could not see any expression, then he would not have the courage to ask what he wanted to ask.

 

The room was quiet, only the sound of Ji Ling reading the account book seemed to remain.
