said that Zhang Hui and Zhang Shumei came to Chen's upper room. When Chen saw the two of them coming, he was full of smiles, pulled Shu Mei to sit beside him, and replied in the same chapter: "I took your sister Lin to have dinner today." Thou hast gone out to the table, so that I shall not ask thee. As he spoke, his face sank.

Zhang Hui hurriedly saluted and confessed, "If the second wife has anything to say, just ask." ”

Chen looked at him twice, shook his head and said, "That's it." In the end, your sister Lin didn't really sin against you, and you honestly admitted your mistakes, so that's it. It's just that you can't be so reckless in the future. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hui couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shumei, Seeing her nodding slightly, he bowed deeply to Chen's and said sincerely: "My nephew has learned a lesson." The second wife only looked at me, and she will definitely not do it again in the future. ”

Chen turned angry and rejoiced, shouted out again, pulled to his side, and said with a smile: "It is said that young people are full of affection, and their minds are only tied to one person, so they can't see the side with their eyes, and they will inevitably be stupid when they say and act." This is also a common thing. Who doesn't come from this age? Just make a fuss, and if you talk about it, it's fine, and you won't have to worry about this in the future. You know, just like cooking and making snacks, with a hint of vinegar, it is also fragrant, appetizing, refreshing and greasy, if you pour down a bowl, an urn or even a jar, you will never be able to eat again. ”

Zhang Hui was red-faced when he was said, and only said in a low voice: "Where is there such a thing?" I was a little sour, but I came back to my senses for a while. ”

Chen twisted his face and scolded with a smile: "The bastard boy is still stubborn! This is not honest, look at me and stab you in front of Uncle Lin's eyes! I don't know how to clean up and cover up when I get into trouble, I really have a shrewd and capable face in vain." ”

Zhang Hui listened to Zhang Shumei first, and then heard Chen mention it himself, knowing in his heart that it must be this uncle and grandmother who used means in time to suppress the rumors of the two mansions. For a while, he was shocked and grateful, and said, "It's that I'm ignorant." Thank you for your help. Please also ask the second wife to teach her grandson more. ”

Chen squinted his eyes and glared at him, and said: "It is said that the Qi family governs the country, this idea is the matter in the inner house, what can you learn as a man? ”

I didn't want Zhang Hui to be a little unhappy when he heard this, so he stood there and nodded happily. Chen couldn't help laughing, scolded with hatred on his lips, "stinky boy who is not angry", raised his voice and said: "Just what are you doing in front of me?

Chen Shi was stunned for a moment when he saw him walking crisply, and couldn't help laughing, choking without befriending, and coughing again and again. Next to him, Zhang Shumei was busy patting Chen's back and giving her tea. Chen Shi gasped, shook his head and smiled: "What a stupid boy." Even Lin Yatou ran out without asking anywhere now, and she had to turn a few more times in a while. ”

Shu Mei smiled: "Don't say anything else, just returning to my brother's heart to Sister Lin makes people happy when they look at it." ”

Chen nodded and said, "Otherwise, the elders will not be at ease." He patted his hand and said with a smile: "Don't look at them with joy and envy." Your son-in-law is also a good one, and his heart for you will not be worse than your brother's heart for Lin Yatou. ”

Shu's brow blushed, he lowered his head hurriedly, and said with a smile: "The second wife is teasing me again." I've already practiced it, and I'm no longer afraid to listen to these words that hurt me. ”

Chen laughed and said, "Good, good, good! This is the girl who came out of my Zhang's house! These are all auspicious words of congratulations and blessings, and they should have been generous! Young girls should be afraid of being ashamed and ashamed, and they will twist and pinch in front of their families, and that is all other people's exquisiteness. Our family just needs to be stable and steady, and live a good and smooth life, which is the first important thing!"

Shu Mei hurriedly said: "The granddaughter must keep in mind the teachings of the second wife. He pursed his lips and smiled: "Speaking of which, I don't envy Sister Lin much now, but I really envy the two younger sisters of the Chen family and the Jia family - the sixth brother and the eighth brother are just learning character, needless to say, just look at the second wife, you will know how comfortable and smooth it will be in the future." ”

Chen was full of joy when he was said, and said with a smile: "I carefully selected and picked, and it was easy to choose the one you liked, and when they all married the family, it was naturally the same as them." Looking at Shu Mei, he couldn't help but think of the situation in the Hou Mansion of Enping, and smiled, but then he showed his face again, took Shu Mei's hand and smiled: "Good boy, don't worry." It was the old lady who asked the eldest master and the fourth master to weigh and consider it repeatedly, and let your eldest uncle and mother inspect it before choosing this son-in-law. The Cai family is also a family with a name, surname, status and dignity, not to mention what kind of Xuan Xuan was a hundred years ago. His family also knows that the military general's atmosphere is too heavy, and the military achievements are not a long-term reason, so you must be born in a big family like this, but the daughter who has been immersed in books since childhood and knows how to study and progress will be a daughter-in-law and a housewife to his family. You only keep this in mind, don't forget the root of the daughter of the Zhang family, this day will definitely be good, and you will definitely live according to your heart. ”

When Zhang Shumei heard this, his heart was shocked: Regarding the beginning of the marriage between the Cai and Zhang families, Zhang Wang and the Hong family have mentioned it to her to some extent, and Wu Taijun has also instructed her. It's just that no one has ever been as straightforward and sincere as Chen's words today. She was originally a smart person in Bingxue, and since Chen said it clearly, how could she not understand the deep meaning of her marriage to the Enping Marquis Mansion? Even the essence of her own responsibilities after marriage was well understood. As soon as his thoughts were clear, his heart suddenly gave birth to infinite confidence and ambition. So he looked at Chen and said in a low voice, "Thank you, uncle and grandmother." Shu Mei will definitely live up to the glory of the Zhang family. ”

Chen nodded with a smile and said softly: "Glory and the like, our family doesn't care much about it. Children are happy and smooth, so that they can be passed down from generation to generation. You grew up watching us, but if you're good, we'll be fine. After thinking about it, he said: "When your Yan brothers and brothers are officially decided, the Chen family and the Jia family are not distant relatives to you, they are really close relatives." In the future, when you are in Beijing, there will be two more families walking around, and you will be more or less lively and not lonely. Another is that if you have any inconvenience at home, or inquire, or send a message, there are two more ways to communicate whether there are or not. We are also in the south, and there are two more mouths, noses, ears and eyes to take care of them. ”

Zhang Shu's eyebrows were stunned, he didn't expect Chen to have this plan, and his face couldn't help but show surprise. When Chen saw her description, he smiled and said, "What? There is no harm in thinking about everything." What's more, the Zhang and Cai families have different family styles, if you want to say that you are completely at ease, this is what you are saying. Now that's what I'm saying, you have to pay attention, you know that there is such a thing. ”

When Shu Mei heard this, she was very moved, so she threw herself into Chen's arms and said, "Uncle and grandmother are so kind, Shu Mei is really grateful." ”

Chen stroked her head and said, "My son, you are also the granddaughter of my in-laws, how can I not love you? Not to mention that you are married to Beijing, and it is not a distant place that you can't get started, just look at the affection of a few relatives, and by the way, you should also prepare one or two for you." Not to mention that the old lady in the family has repeatedly told you, and your grandmother has asked you twice and three times...... Oh, it's my mother, that's it. ”

Shu Mei choked up and said: "Although I don't have a mother to raise me, I am fortunate to have your fate, and there is never a shortage of love to take care of you." ”

Chen nodded, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Good girl doesn't cry." It's always the fate of our mothers. He also asked the maid to come in and pour tea and eat with Shu Mei.

Shu Mei smiled and thanked him, and then accompanied Chen to have some snacks, and then heard a report from outside that Mrs. Jingchang and the second wife of the Hou Mansion came over together. Shu Mei hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I'm looking for four aunts and seven aunts to come over." ”

Chen smiled: "I sent the maid to call them to come." You go to your fifth sister-in-law's house to talk and joke, and the sisters are all here. Look at your second sister for me. ”

Zhang Shumei smiled when he heard this, and then retreated. Together with Chen's maid Xingzhi, they first went to Yin's courtyard to spread the word, and then Zhang Dou and his wife Wang's courtyard. met with the Wang family and told the people from the Jingchang Marquis Mansion. The Wang family had already received the rumor, and had already changed their clothes to wait for each other, and when they heard the rumor, they hurriedly smiled and said that they knew: "The eldest girl is here to meet your sisters? He called the maid to send Shu Mei over, and he went to Chen's upper room with Xingzhi.

Here, Zhang Shumei slowly walked to Zhang Chai and Gan's residence. It is behind the main courtyard of Zhangdou Wang, it is to separate the last half of the house in the main courtyard here, and open up to the small garden next to it, although the place is not big, there is a house and a courtyard and a view, and it can be regarded as a world of its own when the door is closed - just because Zhang Chai is the eldest son of Zhang Dou, and the marriage with the Gan family is only a little more than a year, and the two are still newly married. Zhang Dou Wang's family loved his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and he did not make any grievances, so he had a limited space in the courtyard of the mansion in Beijing, and he still separated his husband and wife from a separate courtyard. Zhang Chai Gan also knew the kindness of his elders, and because he had no children, he changed a flower window on the east side of the courtyard wall of the small garden into a small door, and opened up the three rooms by the garden into one, and cleaned up the brothers and sisters of the same generation as a place to play and rest. Here Zhang Shumei walked to the gate of the garden, and heard that Gan's, Shu Yi, Shu Hui, Shu Ying, and Lin Daiyu were all there, and Zhang Hui and Zhang Feng brothers were also there.

So the maid opened the curtain and went in, and Shu Mei felt that the heating in the house was melting, and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms came to her face. Shu Mei stretched his eyes and looked, and saw an azure plum bottle on the table in the room, in which a large branch of wax plum blossom was inserted, and many small branches branched out on the main branch, which poked out in all directions with wanton swagger, and each small branch was densely turned, as if it was full of gold. Shu Mei smiled: "Really handsome plum blossoms, you can all play." ”

Here, Gan hurriedly walked up and said with a smile: "The eldest sister is here." "Hand in hand to the table. The sisters also gathered around to say hello. Gan Shi told Shu Mei: "It's your two brothers, I think my newly cleaned house is only warm and not fragrant, and the brothers don't let the daffodils be put aside, so I went to the big garden at the back to pick such a big branch just now." ”

Shu Mei smiled: "The smell of narcissus is strong, and if you want to leave it in the house and smoke it overnight, people will not be comfortable smelling it." Lamei might as well be. Looking at it again, I couldn't help but smile again: "Such a big branch, the flowers are dense, and there are many half-opened ones, but they can be fragrant for a long time." ”

Gan smiled, "I said the same too." This flower, I'm afraid it can be fragrant for the New Year. So I just asked his two brothers if they were lazy and labor-saving, so they deliberately picked such a big and dense branch, and actually moved half a tree into the house. ”

At this time, Zhang Hui and Zhang Gong also came over to salute. Hearing this, Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law and sister Mingjian, where can you be lazy and save effort? Our little seventh master said that since it is for the smoked house, it is not better than the usual landscaping into the painting, and it is necessary to take the song as the beauty, the beauty of the sparseness, and the beauty of the sparseness, and we must choose the straight, positive, and dense plum branches. The result is really like my sister-in-law's words, it is not a branch, it is half a tree at all. He instructed me to carry it all the way. Fortunately, my sister-in-law and sisters like it, and so does Sister Lin. ”

When everyone heard the last sentence, they couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Hui and Lin Daiyu were even more red, and when they looked at each other again, they all felt that their faces were hot. Zhang Hui hurriedly pushed Zhang Hui's shoulder and said with a smile: "You are slippery." I bothered to choose, isn't it because you also want Sister Lin to like it?"

This sentence immediately reminded everyone. Who was present didn't know the reason for Zhang Huiyan's words, and looked at Zhang Gong one after another, and saw that even his neck and eartips were so red that they were dripping blood, and they laughed again.

Zhang Feng couldn't stand it, turned around and left. Zhang Hui hurriedly caught it and said with a smile: "What are you ashamed of? Sister-in-law and sisters are all working hard for you, which one are you running away?" dragged Zhang Hui back, escorted him to the window, and ordered to sit with his back to everyone. Then he turned to Gan, the sisters, and Daiyu and said, "Let's just talk about ours." There wasn't a single person sitting here. ”

The crowd burst into laughter. But seeing that although Zhang Bureaucrat's face was red and there was smoke on the top of his head, he really sat still honestly, and he guessed his thoughts, and while he was amusing in his stomach, he was really willing to help. According to what Zhang Hui said, he sat Lin Daiyu around, admired the flowers, and made tea, and slowly brought out the various things of the Jia family while talking.

Daiyu had already learned from Lin Ruhaikou that Zhang Kui Yin's intention to inquire about Yingchun, and thought that since they had been cousins who had been together for many years and grew up together, most of them would become close to each other in the future, how could they be dissatisfied and happy? Shu Yi, Shu Hui, and Shu Ying have only visited the Jia family with their grandmothers and elders, and they have seen Yingchun as a person, so they are naturally willing to help their brothers. So the sisters talked and laughed, and some chapters came in a few words from time to time, and after a while, they drew a gentle, gentle, and gentle image for the chapters. Zhang Gong was happy to hear this, and unconsciously turned from turning his back to facing everyone, not knowing that the corners of his mouth had already pulled up. It was Gan Shi who deliberately walked past him by pouring tea for the girls, and kicked his toes, and then Zhang Gong suddenly woke up, pretended to sit down again, just lowered his head, and laughed stupidly.

Seeing this, Gan shook his head amusedly, and laughed in a low voice because he was next to Zhang Shumei: "Look at these two of them, they are usually smarter, and when they encounter their own major events, one is more stupid than the other." Lao Qi was confused yesterday, and now he has such a momentum, he can't wait to give his head to Sister Lin. This will be like this again. ”

Shu Mei smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't be busy laughing at your brother." That is, the fifth brother is two years older, and he is old in everything, so he didn't let him get the handle. ”

When Gan Shi heard this, he panicked and begged for mercy, and pretended to hate and said: "I know that you protect your brother the most, but in one sentence, you will come to scare me!" shook his hand again, took two steps to the side, and then whispered: "Don't laugh at me, I am also restless." At this time, if you can listen to the Jia family girl more, you will be more stable in your heart. ”

When Shu Mei heard this, she was a little suspicious, but she smiled and pulled Gan's and said, "I have been in the house for a long time, and my sister-in-law has accompanied me to take two steps outside. "When I got out of the house, I didn't really go far, but I stood under the eaves of the porch, and I could see the low slope of the small garden covered with a thin layer of snow, and the slope was sparse and bright like a flower tree with a white soft hat. Shu Mei instructed the maids to stand away, and Fang smiled and said: "Sister-in-law also helps the brothers to worry, in the end, she deserves to be our good sister-in-law." ”

Gan stood next to Shu Mei, pinched her palm, and said, "I said it's true." Although she is a sister-in-law, she is the same year as you, and she usually treats you as a sister in her heart. I'm not panicking, don't you know? ”

Shu Mei smiled and said: "The two relatives at once, wasn't it the same with the eldest brother and the brother Hui before?

Gan said: "The eldest brother is the eldest sister-in-law, and it is one room apart." Back to my brother, Sister Lin is still young, I just think of me as my own sister. But now the sixth and eighth brothers, although they are raised by the fourth grandmother, are all in the same room. I was originally the youngest at home, and I was also the youngest here, and my wife and grandmother were so spoiled that I almost forgot the rules. At this time, there are two people who are younger than me, and they are both from big families, and they are better than me in everything, why don't you tell me not to panic?"

Shu Mei saw her talking, her face was really sad, and she couldn't help but snort: "My good sister-in-law, do you really want to be the youngest for the rest of your life? After these two years, you are blessed, do you want more?"

Gan Shi glared at Shu and said, "I'll tell you the truth from my heart, and you still laugh at me!"

Shu Mei hurriedly smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry. I'm telling you, my sister-in-law's sentence has been broken. The fifth brother was raised by the seventh aunt in the end. The sister-in-law flattered in front of the seventh aunt. In the future, the sixth sister-in-law and the eighth brother and sister entered the door, and they were all in front of the fourth aunt. ”

Gan bit his lip and said, "But the second wife is coming...... In the past year or so, although the second wife has not been bad at all to me, and our grandmother and fourth grandmother have also given enough face, but I also know that I have a few pounds and a few taels, and the word 'passable' is the sky. Now compared to the evaluation, I am neither a junior of my mother's family, nor a granddaughter of my old friend, nor can I compare to my eldest sister-in-law, who has a happy letter two months after entering the door......"

Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Shu Mei and said, "You can be careful about what you say-which of the wives and grandmothers in the family blames you for saying you? I haven't even heard of urging you." Speaking of which, she is also a girl to be married, no matter how calm and generous she is, she can't help blushing. His eyes flickered from side to side, and he took another sip of Gan's and said, "You are a sister-in-law, what do you think about all the time? What else do the seventh aunt and fifth brother do to you? You don't feel happy for yourself." There is this kind of work to ponder, but it is not enough for the seventh aunt and the fourth aunt to talk more and sell well, and the second wife is more wandering and diligent and coquettish, which is serious. You said it, you are the youngest in the family, don't you take advantage of the current gap and wait for the new daughter-in-law to enter the door one by two, you are still afraid of being ashamed of others?"

Gan Shi blushed by her, and snorted: "As soon as the wives and grandmothers make jokes, my face burns, what can I do?"

Shu Mei was helpless: "Your sentence is really 'asking for blindness'." Where would I know this. In the end, he patted Gan's hand and said with relief: "You are determined." I just heard from Sister Lin that the second girl of the Jia family is a very gentle and gentle girl, and she has never competed with others. On the Chen family's side, although she is a big Xiao Jie, she has a lively and refreshing temperament, but in the end, she is the daughter of the Marquis of Jingchang, and the rules on the face are not wrong. She is young, the order is also small, and she is on the fourth aunt's side, if you don't take the risk to compete with her, she can still come and be rude to you?—— it can be seen that it is all a matter of worrying in vain, and there is no need to think about it. ”

Gan Shi listened, let out a long breath, and said: "With your words, my heart is really relieved. Next to Shu Mei, the two walked slowly a few steps, and Gan suddenly sighed again: "I can understand it." Because you have such a temperament and knowledge, the old lady and the old man were given to the Cai family, and it is not possible to change someone. When you get over there, everything will be fine. ”

Shu Mei squeezed her hand and said in a low voice: "I'm the same as you, but if you listen to one more sentence, your heart will be at ease and relaxed." You've got a few points everywhere, and if you add that point, you'll be almost ten years old. ”

Gan understood and laughed. The two then returned to the house. I heard Shu Yi ask with a smile: "Fifth sister-in-law, eldest sister, what are you going to do when you go out alone and talk quietly? ”

Shu Mei raised his eyebrows and smiled: "We are talking about the sixth, seventh, and eighth brothers in the family now, and they are the belovers of the second xiao jie, I don't know what the seventh uncle and seventh aunt will say." ”

Shu Yi jumped up when she said a word, and when she rushed up, she covered her mouth, while shouting distractedly: "Sister Lin, tell me how the second girl learned Go!"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter. Even Zhang Gong didn't care about pretending, so he turned around and smiled: "The second sister is also older now." After my grandmother finished cooking me and my sixth brother, I will worry about you next. ”

Shu Yi glared at him and said, "The second girl of the Jia family and I have already made an appointment as chess friends. What else do you have to say?"

Zhang Jian hurriedly said: "No, no, no, yes, yes, I also asked the second sister to say a lot of kind words for me." Hachi will give you a salute first. Talking about the real neat clothes, I went to Shu Yi to make a formal salute.

Shu Yi couldn't hide it, so he could only stomp his feet and scolded with a smile: "The people you are engaged to are so thick-skinned." ”

Zhang Hui next to him was not happy, and hurriedly interjected: "Second sister, you scold the eighth child, what are you doing with other people?"

Shu Yi turned his head to glare at him, and suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't mention a single Lin character, but you jumped fast." Your knees don't hurt, do you?"

Zhang Hui couldn't answer, Lin Daiyu was already smiling, and said, "Second sister, now I am also unconvinced." You first ask the fifth sister-in-law what the eldest sister has to say. This private talk was originally meant to avoid thin-skinned people. After saying it face to face, it can be seen that there is no such scruples. The second sister has always been smart, why can't she even understand this truth?"

The words made everyone laugh, and Qi Zan Daiyu was reasonable. Shu Yi didn't think that these people would unite and besiege in groups, no matter how smart and quick they were, they couldn't resist it. Seeing that he was about to be anxious, fortunately, the maid outside spread the word, saying that the second wife, Chen, had sent guests from the Jingchang Marquis Mansion and summoned everyone to come over to talk and have dinner together. Everyone smiled at each other, collected their troops, and went to Chen's side together.
