The group returned to the courtyard of the second lady, Zhu Yanmei looked very happy, and talked to Sister Zhou with great interest, and even her voice was two points higher.

They walked in front, with Zhu Biyun and Hongzhu in the middle, but Zhu Zilan fell last.

Hongzhu glanced back at her, and saw that she was carefully holding the broken hair around her ear, and took out a handkerchief and gently dipped it on the tip of her nose, obviously tidying up her makeup.

Hongzhu is also a girl's family, so she naturally knows her thoughts, but after knowing it, she still doesn't understand it, so she can only ignore it.

Because no one paid attention to the front and back, Hongzhu had time to talk to Biyun, and she asked quietly, "Sister Biyun, doesn't the third young master come to see you often?"

Although she said this tactfully, after Zhu Yanmei's words first, she asked what she meant, and it was very straightforward.

Zhu Biyun didn't think that even Hongzhu could ask about the boudoir from a girl's house, and her face was shocked.

"Sister Biyun, I'm not young, I'm close to you, don't be shy about saying some private things, I won't spread it. Hongzhu explained.

Zhu Biyun bowed his head and hesitated for a moment before replying: "I've also been here, but I don't come often, but recently...... Less. ”

Hongzhu sighed again when she heard this: "Sister Biyun, I also told you earlier that even if it is a girl's family, she should be stronger, and she can live a relaxed life, and she will not be bullied." She thought about it, and still said in detail, "For example, I don't think I'm inferior to others, I can't take the imperial examination, but I can read and write, and I understand many truths, and I can still make money to support my family." To put it bluntly, I can rely on others without relying on others. I thought, you came here alone, my aunt can't be relied on, she has to stand up on her own. ”

Zhu Biyun nodded silently when she heard this, and replied softly: "I can too, I feel at ease." ”

Hongzhu remembered that she had heard that there was a happy event in the family, and she even recited the Buddha, for fear that she would live a real green lantern ancient Buddha from now on, so she still persuaded her: "You are now married, and you want to be at ease in your heart, and I don't advise you to fight for it." However, it is too quiet to live a life alone, and if you can have a child, it is better to be a caring girl, which is very appropriate. ”

Hongzhu's words can be regarded as heartfelt words, if she is not as close as her, she will not say it easily. After all, living in a big mansion, without pets and children, life is too lonely.

Zhu Biyun has a weak temperament, but he is not stupid, so he naturally understands the meaning. She actually still has a heart to tie it up, she was a person who had a fiancé at the beginning, and a heart was also placed on that person, but unfortunately God did not fulfill people's wishes, that person left, for the sake of her family, or she was afraid of cowardice and death, she couldn't make up her mind to accompany him after all. In the end, she treacherously came to the Zhao family, she was afraid, guilty and uneasy.

As the days passed, she felt a little more stable, and she was a little glad that she didn't cut herself after all, she was greedy for life and death, greedy for wealth and wealth...... She also loathed herself sometimes, she had long thought that she had become like this now, and she owed it to herself.

Now only Hongzhu makes her strong, and she is not persuaded to be motivated to compete for favor, but only wishes her heart to be pure and comfortable.

Zhu Biyun gratefully held Hongzhu's hand, "Sister Hongzhu, I know that you treat me sincerely, and I will remember your words." ”

Hongzhu shook her hand back, "Sister, the days are still long." Maybe one day, when you can talk here, you can say in front of the second lady that you want to go back to visit your parents, and the family is only half a day's way, and it is not very far. Or you can mention going to another courtyard to live in Zhuangzi, you don't have to trap yourself, the world is big. ”

Zhu Biyun listened to these encouraging words, and her heart was a little weaker, and she smiled back.

When they arrived at the second lady's house, the group was polite.

was blocked by smoke for a while, and Hongzhu secretly said that the rules of the yard of the two ladies are quite big, and it is not easy to climb. But at this time, when I saw the main master, I felt that the second lady was also very kind. She gave Hongzhu and Zilan a meeting gift, took their hands left and right, praised them, and sat down kindly.

Hongzhu didn't know much about the set of rules that this lady had when she saw the little girl, but the second lady had a gentle attitude and spoke to her softly. is such a layman, and her speech and demeanor are inexplicably gentle with Zhenjing, which is very different from the usual style.

As soon as she raised her eyes to look to the side, there was a handsome young man sitting on the left, looking at herself with a smile, who was not Zhao Xiao.

Hongzhu's heart jumped, and the whole person froze. She was used to being casual in front of Zhao Xiao, and she had said all kinds of nonsense, she was a wild girl, and at this time, pretending to be a lady was looked at by him, and she was weak for a while.

As soon as she looked over, Zhao Xiao also hooked her lips, her eyes rolled quickly, and she rolled her eyes.

Isn't that just making fun of her?

Hongzhu turned her face sideways, not letting the second lady see it, and glared at him quickly at the right time.

Zhao Xiao opened the folding fan in his hand with a brush, and blocked half of his face very gracefully, his expression remained unchanged, only the exposed eyes were slightly bent.

Hongzhu knew that he was laughing, and he was afraid that he still grinned loudly.

knew that she was wrong, and she scolded in her heart.

In front of people, Hongzhu was also afraid of showing traces, so he turned his face back, smiled and listened to the elders, and ignored him anymore.

The second lady praised sincerely: "...... It really came out of the scholarly door, and they all looked like shallots. She glanced at Zhu Biyun, "I was a daughter-in-law who was already outstanding, but I didn't think that there were two younger sisters in the family who were better than her." ”

Zhu Yanmei smiled and said: "Madame praised me for my good looks before, but now I can't even look down on Biyun, so wouldn't my old vegetable gang just throw it into the ground." ”

The second lady covered her mouth and smiled, "You just want it, it's a point or two better than Yan'er." ”

Yan'er interjected with a smile very knowingly, "Where do I dare to compare with Mrs. Liang." ”

Zhu Yanmei said: "Come on, Yan'er pours tea and water in front of Mrs. every day, this good face and figure, Mrs. looks at it and is happy in her heart." And I'm just going to be like you little girls. ”

Hongzhu didn't say anything on the side, just smiled shyly at the right time.

Zhu Zilan said: "Madame has won the award, I met Madame, and I knew that there is such an outstanding person in the world, just like the Queen Mother of Heaven." ”

Although this flattery is not very clever, Zhu Zilan is young, delicate and cute, and has a somewhat childish meaning, which still makes the second lady very happy.

"This is the naughty boy demon star in our family, he is not happy to see that the sky does not have something to do and come out to make trouble, he has been to Zhu's house before, and he knows you. Now when I heard that you were coming, I said that I was going to entertain you. The second lady looked at Zhao Xiao, "Ping'an, I haven't come to see the ceremony, this is your aunt in the seventh room, and her two nieces in her mother's family." ”

"Hello aunt," Zhao Xiao came over to give a salute steadily, "Miss Cheng, Miss Zhu is good." ”

Hongzhu looked at him like this, and finally couldn't help laughing, "Zhao Gongzi is good." ”

Zhu Zilan replied softly: "Zhao Gongzi is fine." ”

Zhao Xiao nodded slightly, secretly gave Hongzhu a look, and then turned back to complain to the second lady half-truthfully: "I don't think the brothers are as intimate as me, why does the aunt say this about me?"

The second lady smiled and said, "You are still intimate? ”

Zhao Xiao smiled, "Isn't it just to accompany my aunt more?" I understand, only I am in front of my aunt, and my aunt can only talk about me more. He looked at Hongzhu Zilan, "These two sisters and aunts said okay, I can't be worse when I look at me." Needless to say, it can be seen that it is also very popular with the uncle. ”

"You're just talking nonsense! With your appearance, you still look like a fairy, and you're embarrassed to compare with your sisters. The second lady was angry and funny, "How old are you, you lose face and ask them to laugh at you." ”

Not to mention, Zhao Xiao's handsome appearance is more than enough for them.

Zhao Xiao naturally didn't talk about his appearance, but said: "I know them all, I already understand my temperament, how can you laugh at me." ”

The two people he said in these words, but when he turned around, he only saw one red bead.

Hongzhu ignored him very calmly, and Zhu Zilan on the side took a step forward and said with a smile: "Brother Ping'an is very interesting to talk about, and he is also very knowledgeable, not much better than his brother, I only have a close heart, how can there be any jokes." ”

The second lady in front had already said that she had two younger sisters, and no one would pay attention to her when Zhu Zilan said this, but Hongzhu couldn't help but glance at her again.

But Zhao Xiao replied in a serious tone, detachedly: "Thank you Miss Zhu, I really don't dare to be." ”

Zhu Zilan was stunned for a while, and only squeezed out a smile for a while.

Hongzhu was happy in her heart, and lowered her head to hide her smile.

The second lady has been running a family for many years, and she is calm and old-fashioned, and she gently and skillfully opened the topic. Zhu Yanmei secretly glanced at Zilan, and when she was fine, she turned to talk to the second lady.

Everyone chatted for a while, and someone outside came to tell him, and the second lady said to pass the meal, and Zhao Xiao also resigned.

Hongzhu originally thought that he could stay to eat, but after thinking about it, the three of them were young men and women, and it was just enough to meet and talk in front of the elders, and they would sit at the same table to eat when they saw each other, and I am afraid that it would not work according to the rules of the Zhao family.

Zhu Zilan only showed pity.

During the meal, they were all in order, Zhu Biyun waited for two dishes first, and the second lady asked her to sit down, and praised her daughter-in-law for her thoughtful and filial piety. Because of Jane's future, the daughter-in-law can only refer to Zhu Biyun, which also makes Zhu Biyun lose face.

After lunch, the second lady asked about Zhu Boxiu again. This is Zhu Yanmei's pride, and she immediately told her nephew about her hard study and difficult scientific research, and praised Zhu Boxiu again and again, saying that he is only smart and willing to be motivated, and she looks like he is promising.

Hongzhu felt that Zhu Yanmei's words were too much, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

This Zhao family is the head of the business, Mr. Yishan returned to his hometown early when he got fame, and since then he has never thought about his career, and turned to teaching and educating people. It's a pity that none of Mr. Yishan's children and grandchildren are excellent at reading and can seek advancement in the imperial examination, and there is a lack of reading seeds.

But the old mansion of the Zhao family has the background of a scholarly family, and the second lady is also from an extraordinary background, even if she is a person, I am afraid she will not take it seriously, not to mention that Zhu Boxiu has just passed the county exam now, and he is not even a showman.

The second lady is very generous, listening with a smile, and is very good at taking care of people, and from time to time she can lead others to say a few more words.

Hongzhu is really embarrassed to say more, most of them smile lightly. But Zhu Zilan is very talkative, seeing that the second lady is kind and easy-going, she also gets close to her peers and answers from time to time.

Hongzhu sat with her for a while, turned her head to look at Yan'er, smiled shyly at her, and nodded her chin slightly. This big girl is really powerful, and soon she came to her side and whispered inquiring.

Hongzhu called out to her sister softly, and said that she wanted to change her clothes, and Yan'er asked the little girl to lead her over in time. Not far away, there is a small courtyard for guests to take a break, a bright and dark pattern, and the ear room has already prepared a bucket of water and other things.

Hongzhu solved the need, and didn't think about going back immediately, she unconsciously straightened her appearance in front of the second lady, and her face was almost stiff after an hour, and her bones were hard, just loosening in the small courtyard.

As soon as he came out with his hands clean, he met Zhao Xiao who was standing in the courtyard.

Hongzhu was shocked, and when she looked left and right, the little girl who led her over was gone.

Zhao Xiao said: "Miss Cheng is good. ”

Hongzhu looked at him stunned for a while, and finally rolled her eyes at him very unladylikely, "Come on Zhao Gongzi, if you are a well-behaved son, don't block me outside the thatched house." ”

As soon as the word "thatched house" came out, Zhao Xiao couldn't hold his face, and immediately laughed, pointing at her and unable to speak.

Hongzhu frowned at first, and then was amused by him, "Is it interesting, can you give me some face, I am very demure and dignified today." ”

Zhao Xiao finally got his way, but he no longer had the image of a beautiful son, he smiled and came over and asked, "Hongzhu, why don't we elope?" 166 Reading Network
