On the second day, Hongzhu went to the stall early to help, and when she went home, she happened to bump into the matchmaker in Erchun Lane. That matchmaker is rich and well-dressed, and she is born like a matchmaker. Hongzhu was curious, and glanced at her face a few times, wanting to see if there were any red lips and two circles of red rouge on her miserable white cheeks, but she was disappointed, and Mrs. Zhang's makeup was normal.

The eldest aunt Jiang smiled and was welcoming the matchmaker in the back door, and she also saw the red beads.

Hongzhu called her: "Uncle." ”

Jiang glanced at it lightly, and after a while, he nodded slightly, and said softly as if he remembered something: "You Sister Biyun will make clothes for you, you can go and see what you like, and you can help." ”

Hongzhu understood as soon as she heard it, I am afraid that Zhu Guida knew about her quarrel with Mrs. Zhu yesterday. In this family, in the end, it is still Zhu Guida, a big man, who wants to be faced, and since this matter has come out, it is not good for Jiang to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Jiang's mother's house is from the east side of the city, and it is a few roads away from the old Deng Tou, which is half a neighbor. Most of the friendship between the Zhu family and the Deng family also came from the Jiang family. The ancestors of the Jiang family have been officials, although they are only petty officials of the five or six grades, but because of this, they also pay attention to cultivating and reading heirlooms, and raising their children to be motivated. Like the Zhu family, they are just small merchants in the south of the city, and the two are even more incompatible.

But in the end, no one in the Jiang family has made a name for themselves for decades, and the children and grandchildren have thinned the land, and the family business has slowly declined. When Jiang was a daughter, in addition to having a better reputation, she actually endured bitterness and tears for several years, and her face looked a few years older.

At that time, Mrs. Zhu was very angry because of Cheng Guitang's study, but she was taken away by the Cheng family, so she gritted her teeth and made up her mind to find a daughter-in-law who knew books and etiquette, so that future generations could study. Later, I asked someone to inquire, and I found Jiang's house. At first, the old man of the Jiang family was very reluctant, but he was begged by his wife and daughter for a few days before he was willing. Mrs. Zhu has an old saying that is very true, no matter how high the young lady is, she has to live. No matter how helpless Jiang is, he has to marry into a businessman.

Because of Jiang's background, she has some rules in her daily behavior, not that she is virtuous and generous, but that she must at least have a reason to block her actions. For example, the reason for withdrawing from relatives is probably the reason for the incompatibility of the eight characters.

As for Jiang's saying that Zhu Biyun made clothes for her...... Hongzhu also guessed some of the details, and immediately smiled, and asked her: "Thank you so much, uncle, I don't know what kind of good material it is?"

Jiang's face stiffened when he heard this, but he still replied lightly: "You will know when you see it." Go ahead. ”

Hongzhu is clear, and the left is just to turn out a few pieces of Zhu Biyun's old clothes for her to make them smaller. Not to mention, Jiang has always done an excellent job of superficial kung fu. She was sullen for a moment, she didn't show anything on her face, she only agreed, smiled at Mrs. Zhang, and then went in before her.

After walking two steps, I heard Mrs. Zhang smile and said: "I have never seen a big sister so kind, just look at the situation of your children in this Cheng family, your Zhu family is a good family." ”

Jiang said: "Sister Zhang, don't praise me." It's not been a long time, what is it for the girl's family to make a few fashionable clothes? Look, I'm blushing. Come in, the hall has tea ready for you. ”

The matchmaker smiled: "...... Sister, you are blessed in this family, all the girls are beautiful, and I am the most happy to drink your tea here......"

Hongzhu said it secretly, she turned into the Biyun room, and then she couldn't hear a few words clearly.

Zhu Biyun fidgeted beside the bed with a half-worn cotton coat, his face was stunned, and he tilted his head, as if he was listening to something to the north. And ten-year-old Zhu Zilan took a stool and sat under the window, her ears almost next to the half-opened window.

Hongzhu couldn't see the situation inside from the window, and when she came in and saw the two of them, she was stunned for a while before asking: "What's the matter, one or two of them seem to have lost their souls, what kind of stupidity are they committing." ”

Zhu Biyun didn't speak, but Zhu Zilan glanced at her when she heard it, and said lukewarmly: "You are stupid, you made grandma angry for a few clothes, do you still want to be faced?"

To use Hongzhu's words, the most important surname in this Zhu family is this Zhu Zilan, who is a little Zhu family, and her mouth is thin and scathing. Since Hongzhu lived in Zhu's house, I haven't heard her meekly call sister.

In the end, Hongzhu was also used to being squeezed by her, and without looking at her, she replied: "You don't have a face, you don't have a face to throw away your three boxes of clothes." Sister Biyun, you heard it, Zhu Zilan said that she can't look at a few clothes or something, I don't think you have to bother to change it for me, just give me the two pieces that Zilan made newly. ”

Zhu Zilan is now ten years old, and Hongzhu is twelve, Zhu Zilan is tall, and Hongzhu is a little slender, so Hongzhu really wants to wear Zhu Zilan's clothes It is really suitable, and it is less than an inch long.

Zhu Zilan said angrily: "You have a good idea! Are you still worried about my clothes? It can be seen that grandma didn't scold you wrong, you are a greedy ghost." Cheng Hongzhu, even if your clothes are tattered, you will never give them to you!"

"Who is rare. Hongzhu looked up and smiled mockingly at her, ignoring her at all, but seeing that Zhu Biyun had not given a response on the side, she reached out to push her, "Sister Biyun, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Biyun came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing." As he spoke, he picked up the scissors and was about to cut them to the hem of the cotton coat.

Hongzhu was startled when she saw it, Biyun's scissors went down, don't talk about her, even Sanbao should be too short to wear, Hongzhu had to quickly reach out and stop it, "Sister Biyun, this is wrong, the scissors will be broken." ”

Zhu Zilan snorted angrily: "It's time to cut it so that you can't wear it." ”

Zhu Biyun saw that she was really going to cut it wrong, smiled apologetically at Hongzhu, and turned around and reprimanded Zilan: "What are you talking about, is it possible that you are happy if your clothes are cut? ”

Zhu Zilan was unhappy, "Sister, why are you still helping her talk." ”

Hongzhu waved her hand, "Don't make trouble, if you're idle, go and help my mother make porridge." ”

Zhu Zilan was even more angry, glared at Hongzhu, and said to her sister: "Sister, I'm still eavesdropping on you!"

Zhu Biyun immediately blushed when she heard this, grabbed the clothes tighter, and didn't drive Zilan away. Zhu Zilan deliberately smiled happily at Hongzhu, beaming proudly.

Hongzhu reached out and took the cotton clothes in Zhu Biyun's hand, stretched out her thumb and index finger to compare the sewing from the shoulders to the hem of the clothes, and compared the length that suited her, so she pinched the hem of the clothes, squeezed the cotton wool from the bottom to the top, and said while making it: "What are you eavesdropping, the aunt and the aunt must have entered the room to talk, and they can't hear until they are under the south window." ”

Zhu Zilan glanced at her in surprise, "Do you know who is coming?"

"Of course I do. Hongzhu replied without raising her head, but she didn't think that Zhu Biyun next to her suddenly grabbed her clothes again, Hongzhu couldn't do it when she pulled her, so she had to raise her eyes and say, "Sister Biyun, if you are in a hurry, go straight to ask the eldest uncle, it is a matter of your life, where you are shy, you can hide." ”

Zhu Biyun was stunned and was speechless for a long time.

The two daughters of Uncle Hongzhu's family, Zhu Biyun is like Jiang, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, delicate and pleasant, while Zhu Zilan has white skin and a tender face, bright and pretty, and looks very good. In terms of temperament, Zhu Zilan is like Mrs. Zhu, but this Zhu Biyun is a wooden and quiet person, and she is not as good as Zilan.

Hongzhu secretly speculated about the reason, and could only think from the roots of the Jiang family. Back then, the Jiang family gave birth to the eldest son Bo Xiu, and the eldest grandson, Mrs. Zhu, was rare, so she immediately hugged her to raise her. When Zhu Biyun was born, Zhu Yanmei, the sister-in-law of the Zhu family, had not yet married, and Mrs. Zhu didn't care much about her granddaughter, so this Zhu Biyun was raised in front of the Jiang family. When Zhu Yanmei got married, Mrs. Zhu felt that there was less people in front of her, so she hugged Zhu Zilan to raise her.

Thinking about it like this, Jiang's treatment of Zhu Biyun is very different. Jiang's background was like that but he married a merchant, and it was difficult to calm down, so he devoted himself to teaching his daughter to be quiet and docile. She took care of the shop by herself, and felt that she was a little vulgar and turbid, even if the shop in front of her was busy, Jiang would not let her daughter go forward. On weekdays, she only let Zhu Biyun do housework, and when she was free, she wrote and embroidered, and let her read two lines of poetry two years earlier.

Zhu Biyun, who was raised like this, is the best in terms of the gentleness and purity of the girl's family, but sometimes it is a little too much. However, Hongzhu in this family still likes Zhu Biyun very much, and she is such an honest person who has never shown any dislike in front of her, and sometimes she can help them do some work, she is really a good girl.

However, at this time, Zhu Biyun's fiancé was seriously ill, and her father wanted to give her a divorce, but she didn't say a word here, and Hongzhu admired her a little too much. To marry, or not to marry, my own mother, that is, what is wrong, what can I do.

Xu is Hongzhu is not an ancient person after all, so he can't understand.
