CHAPTER XVIII
Xu is thinking that newcomers should add some new things, the table in the hall of the family has been replaced by a hollow carved cross-legged table of solid mahogany, the table is round, and the four legs are not standing upright, like a colander, and then stretched out. It looks like taking a rope and tying the four legs of the table together, and the carved patterns on it are beautiful, just looking at the patterns, you know that this table must not be cheap. Tang Yiyun has always been willing to spend, Fang Dezheng can't say that Tang Yiyun is extravagant and wasteful, after all, most of the money Tang Yiyun spends is his own dowry and the silver he earns.
At this moment, Liu Yunfang and Fang Wei should have returned to the house after serving tea, Fang Yanqing entered the house, and found that only Tang Yiyun and Fang Dezheng were sitting at the table in the house, and the dishes on the table were very rich. ”
"Yan Qing is here, sit down. Tang Yiyun greeted.
Fang Yanqing nodded, sat aside, and waited quietly for someone to come. After waiting for a long time, I didn't see any movement, and I was late on the second day of the big day, which is rare. Fang Dezheng was obviously a little impatient to wait, and coughed several times. Tang Yiyun heard Fang Dezheng's cough, and beckoned to the girl standing next to her, and the girl hurriedly stepped forward, and heard Tang Yiyun ask, "When you went to call just now, did the young grandmother and young master start to clean up?"
"Back to Mrs., the little one doesn't know, I went to call when I didn't see the young master and the young grandmother, but the young grandmother said in the house that she knew, and she would come right away, and I would come back to answer. ”
When Tang Yiyun heard this girl's words, she frowned and said to the girl behind her, "Winter girl, you go and see if the young master and young grandmother have left." ”
"Yes. "The winter girl blessed her body, and as soon as she walked out, she saw a group of people coming.
The girl standing outside the door hurriedly walked in and said, "Madam, the young grandmother is here." ”
Tang Yiyun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the girl's words, "It's good to come." ”
When the girl heard Tang Yiyun's words, she didn't pause, still lowered her head, and said, "However, it seems that there is only one young grandmother." ”
Fang Dezheng heard the girl's words, frowned and looked at Tang Yiyun, Tang Yiyun did not move his gaze, looked at the girl intently, heard the girl's words, his face was also shocked, and said, "How is this possible? Are you sure you can see clearly?"
"Hmph, how is it impossible, your good son, you still said that you won't come to serve tea, and make up for lunch, I'm afraid you will have slipped out a long time ago. Fang Dezheng said coldly.
Tang Yiyun heard Fang Dezheng's words, his face was also a little ugly, and said, "What is the master humming at me, I don't know about it." ”
"You don't know, you're afraid..." Fang Dezheng saw Liu Yunfang enter the house halfway through his words, so he had to swallow the second half of the sentence unhappily, and took a big sip of the teacup to quench the anger in his chest.
Fang Yanqing was terrified when he listened to it, although Fang Dezheng didn't finish speaking, but this was basically clear, it turned out that they didn't even do such a process as serving tea, but it was a pity that Liu Yunfang learned the rules day by day, and in the end he didn't even serve tea, and it was in vain.
Liu Yunfang was already standing in the room, wearing a blue-green cheongsam, the cheongsam was not embroidered with any large patterns, it looked very elegant, but there were some patterns tattooed on the sleeves, and the only embellishment was very good-looking. Fang Yanqing glanced at it, then got down, and looked at the dishes in front of him, his cousin probably escaped from the cave room before entering the cave room yesterday, and ran to find him Those warblers Yanyan lingered happily, and his sister-in-law should have waited for a long time before he suddenly understood that he would not come.
"Mother, Father, you have been waiting for a long time. Liu Yunfang blessed his body and said, "Min Ran was a little unwell and couldn't come to greet the second elder, so I came alone." ”
If I hadn't heard what my uncle and aunt said before, I would really believe Liu Yunfang's words, although it was lame, but no one would have thought that his brother would dare to run away on his wedding day.
Fang Dezheng and Tang Yiyun were like mirrors in their hearts at the moment, but they didn't expose Liu Yunfang's words, after all, everyone tacitly passed the matter. Speaking out without light on your face is also embarrassing to each other.
Tang Yiyun said with a smile, "It's okay, he probably had a heat stroke from the scorching sun a few days ago, I will ask some antipyretic soup from the kitchen to be sent to your courtyard later, and it will be better to drink it." Sit down, sit down and we'll eat." ”
Liu Yunfang nodded, sat down, Fang Yanqing looked at Liu Yunfang beside him slightly, it was only one night's work, and there was a black shadow in his eyes.
Fang Dezheng took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, and then Tang Yiyun also picked up the chopsticks, and at this time, Fang Yanqing picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes with the chopsticks.
"This is pig's trotter soup, I asked the kitchen to stew it in the morning, and they all said that it is very good for this body, come and try it." Tang Yiyun said, letting the girl next to her scoop up a bowl of soup and hand it to Liu Yunfang.
"Thank you, Mother. Liu Yunfang took the porcelain bowl and said with a smile.
Not long after the meal began, I heard footsteps outside, and then I heard a shout, "Min girl, I just entered the yard and you are going to run into the house?" ”
Hearing the sound of speaking, Liu Yunfang's hand holding vegetables paused, Fang Yanqing secretly glanced at Tang Yiyun, the expression on her face also stiffened, and then pursed her mouth, probably thinking that it was not the right time for him to come back.
"Mother, father, sister Yan," Fang Wei walked into the room, saluted one by one, and then sat next to Liu Yunfang, chuckled, and said unceremoniously, "Yo, you're here too." ”
Liu Yunfang's hand trembled, but she still had a smile on her face, and shouted, "Husband." ”
"It's good to come, let's eat with chopsticks. Tang Yiyun said, reaching out to make a gesture for Fang Wei to sit down quickly.
"Tomorrow, the guard at the gate will order a few more people, don't go out if it's okay, and there is still the account room, and you are not allowed to pay money to the young master. ”
After hearing what Fang Dezheng said, Fang Wei frowned, and asked puzzledly, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
"I should ask you that, where did you go?"
Fang Wei heard Fang Dezheng's angry words, raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yunfang, who was sitting next to him, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and said, "Naturally, she came out of my house, she can testify." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Yunfang.
Suddenly pulled out by Fang Wei and said, Liu Yunfang's face was still a little embarrassed, although she wanted to try her best to whitewash, she still couldn't suppress the stiffness on her face, so she had to follow Fang Wei's words and nodded, "Yes, I can testify." ”
Fang Dezheng heard Liu Yunfang's words, looked at Fang Wei impatiently, and picked up chopsticks again. Seeing that Fang Dezheng didn't mean to continue, Tang Yiyun also picked up his chopsticks, "Eat quickly, the dishes are going to be cold." ”
A farce, Fang Yanqing thought silently in his heart, looking at Liu Yunfang's aggrieved appearance, and then looking at his silent self, he suddenly felt that the food in front of him had become tasteless.
###
"Look at the moon in the sky, and the branches are full of silver cinnamon wind. ”
The beads strung on the bead curtain were gently fluctuated by Ding Sanniang holding the fan, making a sparse clattering sound.
Fang Yanqing took out the red sandalwood on the table, glanced at the shaking bead curtain, and said, "Didn't Sanniang say to rest? ”
"Oh, girl, I'll do it. Seeing Fang Yanqing's movements, Qing Yatou hurriedly took the red sandalwood from Fang Yanqing's hand, walked to the Xiaoboshan stove, opened the lid, and gently pressed the incense ash inside with the small copper handle.
Ding Sanniang sat up with her body propped up, shook her fan, and said lazily, "I was going to sleep, but there are too many birds in your yard, and you have been flapping your wings and calling outside, which actually makes me more energetic." As he spoke, he took a sip of the cold tea he had put aside, hammered his back, and stood up, "A few days ago, I listened to Mrs. Wei talking about the difficulty of falling asleep, but I didn't expect me to feel it immediately." ”
"It's a few days ago. Qing girl's sandalwood had already been lit, Fang Yanqing sniffed the smell, felt a little more relaxed, and said, "You were busy with my second brother's wedding a few days ago, and you went to the Wei Mansion again, you are lacking in skills." ”
"After all, those who can work harder. Ding Sanniang said with a smile, also smelled the smell, and said, "Your soothing incense smells very good, I knew you had this, I should have let you light it, maybe I would have fallen asleep." ”
"Sanniang thinks this smells good?" Dialect Qing Dynasty Qing Dynasty Qing girl beckoned, Qing girl took out the bag in the cabinet, there were probably two small jars in it, Qing girl took out one, and put one back, "I still have one jar left here, it shouldn't be used up this year, next year... If it's still there next year, my aunt will probably send some new ones, so let's take this jar of Sanniang back and use it first. ”
"Just tell me your name, you better keep the things yourself, you don't have a few things, and you send them around, do you really want to be a disciple?"
"Sanniang is really, I am clearly kind-hearted, and I also talked about me. Fang Yanqing pouted and said, his fingers gently touched the bottom of the upside-down teacup, and said, "Today, I saw my sister-in-law and second brother." ”
"Vigoer just came back from outside this morning. Ding Sanniang gently patted Yan Qing's hand picking at the teacup and said, "I guessed it just by looking at your face, and it's not uncommon." ”
"Isn't it uncommon?" Fang Yanqing listened to Ding Sanniang's tone and said in shock, "Isn't this rare? This. ”
"It's rare, of course, but it's not uncommon if it comes to Vigoer. Ding Sanniang raised her eyes and bent her eyes, looking at the Qing girl, who immediately said with fun, "I'll go to the kitchen to break some ice cubes and come back." As he spoke, he went out with the food box in his arms, and when he went out, he also took the door with him.
"You haven't been here for a long time, Vigol grew up here, what kind of temperament he is, the neighbors on the street know it, how can a decent person marry his daughter to such a dissolute person for the sake of his daughter. ”
Fang Yan Qingzhi and his cousin got along for a year, and the next year he went to Beijing to take the exam, plus he didn't have much contact that year, he was either locked up in the book room to read or sneak out to play, he didn't meet him a few times at all, although he knew that he was debauched and stubborn, but the specific relationship did not last long. Now when I heard Ding Sanniang say this, I felt that I had really underestimated my cousin before, so I looked at Ding Sanniang and asked, "Then why did he go to Sister Liu?"
