Chapter 22 Identification of Relatives
"Miss, it's time to say hello to the old lady. The maid's voice was crisp and tactful.
A hand stretched out in the hibiscus tent, the plain white wrist was decorated with a transparent and clear jasper bracelet, and when he sat up, the green silk was sprinkled on the white middle coat, which was indescribably beautiful and elegant. Drawing on the clogs, there are maids and fish running in.
Zhou Weiyue got up half an hour earlier than usual, and at this time she covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
Zhou Weiyue saw that Qu Shui brought her an emerald green cup, so she said, "I want to see the old lady today, and wear a lively color." ”
"Yes. After changing her clothes and buns, the red and bright silk flowers suppressed the elegant atmosphere on her body, and her body was also a begonia red cardigan, and the lower body was a purple dumpling skirt embroidered with light yellow plum.
Zhou Weiyue's appearance is light and elegant, and this outfit does not suit her temperament, but she is washed with the old lady, and as the old lady gets older, she likes lively colors. Zhou Weiyue watched the movements of the person behind him from the dim bronze mirror, "Use that old hosta." Zhou Weiyue said to the maid, "Don't use this." ”
"Yes. Qu Shui changed the hairpin.
This old jade hairpin is not the old lady's favorite, it is more like it was given to her at random, Zhou Weiyue often asks the maid to play with this hairpin, and over time there is a lubricated pulp, so that this hairpin is not so ugly. Although the shape is not beautiful and old, it is still transparent. Older people are particularly stubborn, and they don't know what fault they will find out from her today, Zhou Weiyue can only try her best to dress up close to the old lady's preferences.
When Qu Shui cleaned himself up, Zhou Weiyue also stood up and was about to set off.
When Zhou Weiyue walked out of the room, the gold blooming in the sky shot into the house through the bed fee, and the furnishings in the room were clearly displayed. The wall is pasted with a guqin, hanging is the calligraphy and painting of Li Shang of the previous dynasty, a few brushstrokes outline the magnificent mountains and rivers, and the wild grass is wanton and chic. The sky above the Duobao Pavilion is empty, only a pot of rockery carved from rugged mountain stone, in front of the screen is a bookcase, there are all kinds of books on the bookshelf next to the bookcase, and there is a rolled picture scroll in the potbelly bottle, the room is simple, if it is not the color of the hibiscus tent, it is more like a man's study.
Zhou Weiyue glanced back at the room, except for the lack of the delicacy of the daughter of the boudoir, this room is all in line with her heart, and it is good to live for a long time. Thinking of this, he smiled and walked on the stone steps in the courtyard, and went to his aunt's courtyard.
"Miss Table. The next person saluted one by one, Zhou was combing his hair, but he led Miss Biao in, and it was Zhou who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, with a slender face like Zhou Weiyue, her long eyebrows were trimmed and bent, her eyes were slightly raised, with slender eyebrows, she felt outrageous, in fact, my aunt is indeed not a gentle character, because my aunt has such a temperament, and she especially likes gentle and soft people. Zhou Weiyue's appearance is also because of her aunt's preferences.
"You're here. Zhou beckoned to Zhou Weiyue, "Choose hair accessories for me." ”
Zhou Weiyue naturally stood behind Zhou, chose a hairpin ring, dipped her head in oil with a grate, swiped her hair, put a butterfly love flower hairpin, and finally matched Dongzhu earrings. Zhou looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, "It's better to have your eyes." "Her niece is nice and caring.
Zhou Weiyue pursed her lips and smiled, "My aunt taught me." ”
"This hairpin on your head is the hairpin that your mother gave you?"
Zhou Weiyue nodded, Zhou took her hand, and there was some pity in her expression, "I have a new set of noodles in the warehouse, let Taohong send it to you later." "The little girl's family is raised by herself, with red lips and white teeth, black hairpins, such a hairpin with no beauty.
After Zhou saw Zhou Weiyue's response, he let the others disperse, "What I told you a few times ago, how did you think about it?" Zhou is Zhao Shaochen's mother, she has always been a smart person, so she guessed her son's thoughts, she thought of the eldest daughter-in-law for her when she went out, and she felt uncomfortable when she thought that the girl who was raised in the ravine was going to marry her carefully raised son. I don't know when I started, I had a plan to make my niece a concubine.
Zhou was a little embarrassed when he first said this to Zhou Weiyue, a good daughter's family became her son's concubine, what is it. After speaking, Zhou Weiyue blushed, and her shy and annoyed look gave her a little confidence, and she felt more and more that it was a good idea.
Zhou Weiyue held her breath, and after a while, her face turned red, a pair of long eyelashes couldn't stop fanning, and finally said in an urn voice, "Auntie." ”
Seeing his niece's shy appearance, Zhou hugged her, "Xiaoyue, I also watched you grow up, but if you have the slightest reluctance, I will immediately stop this thought, and find a good family for you." ”
Zhou Weiyue was immature, and when she heard Zhou say this, she hurriedly raised her head, "Auntie." ”
When Zhou saw Zhou Weiyue's appearance, he knew that she was willing, and reached out and touched her hair, "Shaochen is going to study and become an official, if not, how can I let you be a concubine? ”
Zhou Weiyue's heart is stable, and it is not in vain that she expresses herself in front of her aunt every day, snuggling in her aunt's arms, "With my aunt making decisions for me, my heart is very stable." ”
Zhou picked up the grate from the dresser and stroked Zhou Weiyue's hair, "The old lady is still waiting, let's go over." "Raise your voice and let people in.
Zhou and Zhou Weiyue walked together, both of them were happy in their hearts, and they were relaxed and happy looking at the lush flowers and trees in the yard.
Zhou and Zhou Weiyue arrived at the old lady's house, and the old lady was already waiting in the hall. If Zhou's outfit is magnificent, luxurious and elegant, and the old lady is simple like an old lady in the countryside, with a crimson top, a dark brown skirt on the bottom, and a forehead sewn from navy blue velvet at the center of the eyebrows, embroidered with a swastika pattern.
"Shaoxing, I sent someone to call him, and he will come over in a while. "The old lady's favorite is a pair of grandchildren of the Zhao family, the eldest son Zhao Shaochen is studying in Lizheng Academy, the old lady does not let him disturb his study, this Shaoxing is young, but he invited Mr. to teach him to read at home, the old lady wants to come, and naturally he will take a vacation.
"Wait for Shaoxing to come, let's eat together. ”
Zhou Weiyue knew that the old lady didn't like her, so she restrained her skirt and sat quietly on the Taishi's chair, and the old lady Zhao looked at the hairpin on Zhou Weiyue's sideburns, which was not as elegant as before, and it was almost plain, and it was rare to speak, "You look much better when you dress like this." Little girls should dress more lively at a young age. ”
Zhou Weiyue raised her face, "It's the old lady's good vision." ”
While he was talking, Zhao Shaoxing came over and heard the conversation in the house, "Sister, what kind of vision is good?" Zhao Shaoxing's favorite in the house is his cousin, who is good-looking, soft-spoken, and even more gentle to him.
"Say your cousin is dressed well. Old Madam Zhao said.
Zhao Shaoxing's mouth opened slightly, and just as he wanted to say something, he saw his cousin winking at him, and he stopped talking. The old lady didn't see Zhou Weiyue's expression, but Zhou could see it clearly, since he was a little son, only Xiao Yue could control this little demon star.
The old lady beckoned to her young grandson, her grandson was originally the most lively and naughty, since the accident, it has been a lot quieter, but it makes her feel distressed, fortunately she found a famous doctor and healed Zhao Shaoxing's legs, Zhao Shaoxing's temperament has slowly become lively, but in the end it is not as good as before.
"Grandmother. Zhao Shaoxing also knew that the old lady liked him, so he was tired of her.
"Good grandson, do you want to be a grandmother?"
"Yes. Zhao Shaoxing's voice was loud.
Old Madam Zhao's face stretched around, like an old chrysanthemum blooming, "Grandmother brought a lot of fresh fruits from the countryside to give you a taste, it rained a few days ago, does your leg hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. Zhao Shaoxing thought of the way he cried to death in the spring, and he was a little embarrassed.
When it was just cured, when it was rainy in spring, Zhao Shaoxing once cried and said that her leg hurt, and Mrs. Zhao kept remembering that it rained a few days ago, and she happened to miss her good grandson again, so she rushed over.
"It really doesn't hurt?" said Old Madam Zhao, as if asking Zhao Shaoxing, but her eyes fell on Zhou's body.
Zhou said: "It still hurts a little when it rains in spring, but it is much better in summer. ”
Old Madam Zhao spoke, "This won't work, send him to that village to ask the divine doctor to take a look." It's not good if it has roots. ”
As soon as Mrs. Zhao's words came out, there was silence in the room, and Zhou Weiyue's hand unconsciously held the hem of her skirt, if it wasn't for this sudden marriage contract, where would she be committed to being a concubine?
Zhou Shi said slowly, "When the old man came back, he also said that the first three years will be like this, as long as you soak it regularly with medicine, you will slowly get better in three years." Although she knew that the marriage had been decided, she didn't want to go to the miracle doctor, because of her son's injury, she took the marriage of her eldest son, and her heart was like a knife when she thought of it.
Old Madam Zhao's brows furrowed, although she also knew about this matter, but as long as she thought of her youngest son's sin, she wanted people to go to the divine doctor.
Zhao Shaoxing opened his mouth and said: "Grandmother, no need, I went to the divine doctor to get a needle, I don't like it." ”
The last time Mrs. Zhao wanted to be sent to the hospital, just like now, she felt that it was not necessary, so she just said it in passing, and when she saw that the people around her disagreed, she said, "Let's eat." ”
After eating, as soon as the people were evacuated, a maid said, "Madam, there are people looking for you outside." ”
"Who is it?" Zhou heard the old lady speak before he could speak, and when he waited for the old lady to say who was visiting, he left, and then heard the maid say: "It's the master and servant, the girl in the middle, holding a piece of jade pendant in her hand." ”
