Chapter 615: Chapter 309 Bloodline_3

He had said that he was accompanying his sister to visit Old Lady Liang today, but in reality, he simply wanted to steal a few more glances at Huang Jinyu from the Liang Family. Also, he didn’t want to listen to the constant nagging of the Great-Grandmother. Why should a young master like himself be bossed around by women? It truly undermines his own dignity and boosts the ambitions of women!

After they had finished the cake, Huang Jinyu had someone bring out the small grass-woven baskets and boxes he had bought for the young ladies. Sure enough, the girls were delighted and couldn’t put them down, all except for Qian Yixiu.

The group then chatted and laughed for a while, watched a monkey performance, and seeing that the old lady was getting tired, they took their leave.

Upon leaving the main house, Liang Jinzhao suggested going to his family’s training ground with the House of Animals to play. Since Monkey Brother had played with Liang Jinzhao many times since it was young, and with him watching, Monkey Brother wouldn’t cause any trouble, so Qian Yixiu nodded in agreement.

Liang Jinzhao whispered to her, "The ponds near Shangling Village on my family’s property have been dug out, could you sell me some good Golden Lotus seeds?"

The Golden Lotus was rather odd. Each generation was lighter than the one before, increasingly resembling ordinary lotus flowers. For instance, a first-generation Golden Lotus seed was from a seed directly from the Cave Sky Pool, flowering and producing seeds, which in turn were second-generation Golden Lotus seeds. Flowers from these seeds were lighter than those from the first-generation, and the scent of the seeds they produced was also not as fragrant. Seeds from the second-generation were called third-generation Golden Lotus seeds, and the flowers produced from those were even lighter than the second-generation flowers. And so on. By the sixth generation, they were indistinguishable from ordinary lotus flowers. This was the experience she had gathered after a few years of cultivating Golden Lotuses.

Qian Yixiu saw that Liang Jinyu had unspokenly led the others aside, as if she and Liang Jinzhao were sharing a secret. Although indeed this matter pertained to her family’s trade secrets and she didn’t want the others to overhear, it was not what they thought it was. Seeing the ambiguous expressions on their faces made Qian Yixiu quite annoyed. Uncle Liang was really annoying, he definitely did it on purpose.

Qian Yixiu could only nod in confusion and went over to pull Liang Jinyu by the hand.

Liang Jinyu led the young ladies to the backyard with a smile, this time including Liang Jinjing, the concubine-born daughter of the third household. The girls played lutes and flutes in the room, a very refined activity.

In her past life, Qian Yixiu worked at the labor union, and there were some musical instruments in her office, like violins, erhus, and guitars. She would tinker with them when she had nothing to do and learned to play the guitar and the erhu. The guitar was easy, and she played it quite passably. The erhu was difficult; although she didn’t play it well, she could still play a few tunes.

In this era, there was also an instrument similar to the erhu, but it was not called an erhu; it was called a huqin, which had been introduced from the Hu People. Only performers played this instrument, daughters from wealthy families would never learn the huqin. Therefore, Qian Yixiu couldn’t possibly admit that she could play the huqin.

She thus became an audience member, applauding for them.

Fu Minglan commented, "Mr. Pan plays the flute so well, why doesn’t Sister Qian learn from him?"

Qian Yixiu replied with a smile, "I’m very busy, managing the house, drawing, writing, where could I find the time to learn to play the flute?" However, she thought to herself that once she was proficient enough in painting, she would have Old Master Pan teach her the flute.

As they talked about Prince Consort Pan’s flute playing, the young ladies began to recount some of his anecdotes. Like the time some women were eager to meet Prince Consort Pan but couldn’t, so they came up with an idea. They would play the flute on the route he was sure to pass and deliberately play it incorrectly. When Prince Consort Pan heard this, he would stop his carriage and correct them...

Qian Yixiu listened with great interest, realizing that her handsome maternal grandfather had so many stories.

In the afternoon, the young ladies heard that the House of Animals was having a lot of fun in the training ground, and the noise had even reached the inner courtyard, so they wanted to go see. A maid went ahead to the training ground to speak to the men and asked them to clear away the onlookers.

Afterwards, the young ladies went to the Liang Family’s training ground. Only the male masters of the Liang Family, Huang Jinyu, Young Master Fu, the long-unseen Song Huaijin, as well as several serving guards remained there.

In the center of the training ground, Monkey Brother, Monkey Sister, Shan Dian, and a few large wolf dogs were present. Commander Liang and his son Jinzhao were also there, with two guards playing gongs and drums nearby. As soon as the drums sounded, the animals followed the directions of the Liang father and son, jumping or fighting over a brightly colored ball.

The father and son duo were as engrossed in the games as the animals, with the onlookers shouting their approval loudly.

Needless to say, the most impressive were Monkey Brother and Monkey Sister, followed by Shan Dian.

They stayed for dinner at the Liang Family and didn’t leave for home until evening.

In the carriage, Monkey Brother took out a purse from his bag and handed it to Qian Yixiu. Qian Yixiu opened it and saw a rosewood carved comb with lotus flower patterns, along with a letter.

Qian Yixiu asked Monkey Brother, "Did Liang Jinzhao ask you to give this to me?"

Monkey Brother nodded and continued playing with a small copper monkey. Looking at Monkey Sister and Shan Dian, she noticed that both of them were wearing new silver collars, carved with floral patterns, about two fingers wide.

Qian Yixiu poked them in annoyance and said, "So easily bought over by such small kindnesses and favors."
