Chapter 142: Pick it up
The brothers and sisters of the Xu family did not stay too long in the Chengenhou Mansion, and after lunch, they just drank a few sips of tea and chatted about family life, and the eldest lady of the Xu family sent someone to pick them up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xu Rong looked shocked: "Why are you going back so soon? We told my aunt and grandmother that we will play in this house for half a day today, and we will not go home until dinner!"
Xu Lan snorted and laughed: "The second brother is the most playful, since you are reluctant to leave, why don't you stay and play until the evening and then go back, how about me and my eldest brother and sister go back first?"
Xu Rong's eyes lit up: "Good idea! Just do it! This time my aunt and grandmother have some good things here, but no one will rob me anymore." ā
Xu Lan glanced at him.
The mother-in-law who came to pick up the Xu family said with a smile: "Brother and sister, don't mess around, let Mrs. know that you are talking nonsense here with Mrs. Gu, and you will definitely be angry." She turned to Xu, "Our lady asked the little one to apologize to his aunt, it is really a last resort, my uncle's family is about to come to our house, and my brothers and sisters will always go to see my uncle and aunt." ā
Xu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Under the big festival, why did my uncle come to the house today? When I was in Shichahai before, I didn't hear the children mention it. ā
The mother-in-law smiled: "It was in the morning that the brothers and sisters went out, and the uncle sent someone to send a letter, so the brothers and sisters didn't know." ā
Xu Shi said lightly: "In this case, then let them go back, and wait carefully on the way." In fact, your wife is too troubled, and the next time there is such a thing, send someone to tell me, will I not send someone to prepare the car, and send the child back? ā
The mother-in-law smiled and didn't dare to say a word. Xu didn't bother to say much to her, and after instructing Xu Zheng and the others, he asked Yao and Qin Jian to send their brother and sister out.
As soon as the guests left, the atmosphere in Kurong Hall seemed to be a little unpleasant. Xu didn't know if he was sleepy, and soon helped the girl back to Songfeng Hall, Yao's, Min and others had to clean up the aftermath, the juniors went back to their rooms to rest, and Qin Hanzhen and others in the third room also returned to Qingfeng Hall on their own.
Brother Zi'er dozed off early, and Niu Shi hurriedly asked the nurse to carry him back to the room to sleep. She and Qin Baicai sat down in the main house, and Qin Ping replied to his parents: "In the morning, when I was in Shichahai, the emperor specially summoned his son to talk and told him to do something. While it was still early today, the son went to do the work first, and if everything went well, he would come back in the evening to have dinner with his father and mother. ā
Niu was surprised: "What did the emperor tell you to do?Why didn't I hear you mention it before?" Qin Ping smiled and did not answer.
Qin Bai knew the rules, so he said: "Since the emperor has ordered it, you can go, remember to work hard, be cautious in everything, and don't live up to the emperor's trust." ā
Qin Ping agreed, went back to the house to change his clothes, and went out with two entourages. He now has manpower under him, and he has people to do errands, messengers, escorts, etc., which is much more convenient than before.
As soon as Qin Ping left, Qin Bai said to the Niu family: "Brother Ping is now in front of the emperor, and he has a lot of time to do things for the emperor, so we don't need to ask more." If he can say something, we don't ask, he will tell us. But if you encounter something that you can't say, it's useless for you to ask, and if you ask too much, it's easy to cause trouble for your son. ā
Niu Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I won't ask anymore in the future, Fang Cai actually didn't have the intention to inquire about anything, just a casual remark." ā
Qin Bai naturally knew that his wife was just asking casually, and his son was going out to do things, and it was common for him to ask as a parent. But Qin Ping's identity is different now, and his family's behavior will naturally become different. Niu will inevitably have to adapt to many new rules in the future.
After Qin Ping's matter was finished, Niu talked about the four brothers and sisters of the Xu family with a smile: "Look at it, they all look good, no matter the boys or girls, they are all smart, they are generous and kind in their words and actions, and they are reasonable." Although the Xu family's family style is a bit like that, it is still good to teach children. ā
Qin Bai smiled faintly: "Mother also thought that his tutor was good back then. "But there are many things in the world that cannot be predicted.
Qin Hanzhen interjected and asked, "Just now the Xu family sent someone to pick up their four brothers and sisters, looking at the eldest uncle and grandmother, it seems that they are a little unhappy, why?"
Qin Bai smiled: "Your uncle and grandmother met the four children in Shichahai, and only sent someone back to Xu's house to say a word, and then took them home directly as guests." This was a common thing in the past, and I heard that several children of the Xu family used to come to this mansion often. Most of the so-called visits from my uncle's family are absent. If Xu Zheng's brothers and sisters were all polite, if they had known that their uncle was going to come to the door, they would not have followed your uncle and grandmother to our house, and they promised to play for most of the day. Mrs. Xu also somehow was in a hurry to call a few children back, and she was a little embarrassed by your uncle and grandmother, and she would naturally be unhappy. But this is a matter between their aunts and sisters-in-law, and it has nothing to do with us, so you don't have to pay attention to it. ā
Niu pouted and said: "Reasoning, the eldest lady of the Xu family is really not very good-tempered, our family held a banquet that day, and she also ignored me when she saw me, as if she was noble and disdained to talk to people." If I were a former country wife, I would only look down on me if she and the shrew in the second room were all the way, and she hated the poor and loved the rich. But now I'm also Mrs. Yongjiahou, and she still has to look down on people, and I really don't know what kind of person can get into her dog's eyes!"
Qin Bai smiled dumbly, and comforted her softly: "Mrs. Xu has always had a dustless temper, and there are almost all the female dependents in the capital, and few of them can get into her eyes, and there is no shortage of discussions in private, and everyone knows it in their hearts." Why do you want to be like her? Isn't Second Lady Xu very close to you? Everyone has different temperaments, and if you have a good relationship, you can have more contact with her, and if you can't get along, as long as you have exhausted the number of courtesies on your face, there is no need to pay more attention to it. We are all old, and with our current status, we don't need to curry favor with anyone, so why should we wronged ourselves?"
Niu Shi suddenly smiled: "I am relieved to have your words." Actually, I'm really not used to dealing with so many ladies and wives. I also know that they are stammering around me, for the sake of our family's current title, and for the emperor's favor and trust in you. But if you listen to it once or twice, you will be happy, and if you listen to it all the time, your ears will be calloused. It's not true, what is it doing to listen to? It's even more unnecessary to look at people's faces. ā
Qin Bai nodded: "That's exactly what you said." ā
Niu's mood became very good, and he looked at his granddaughter a few times again: "Sister Sang'er looks good in this dress, but this dress is the first time to go back to the upper body, right?" The color is good, refreshing and refreshing, and it is comfortable to look at in summer." ā
Qin Hanzhen looked down at his clothes, and asked with some hesitation: "Am I going to collide with the two sisters of the Xu family today?
She remembered that in modern society, most of the clothes are industrialized and mass-produced, and it is quite embarrassing to collide with someone in public, not to mention that in this era, girls from their family backgrounds wear private and professionally customized clothes, and the possibility of hitting the shirt is even smaller, and it will be more embarrassing to meet it? I remember that in some novels, when encountering this kind of thing, it seems that the person with a more noble status will easily lose his temper and hate another person......
Qin Bai smiled: "The clothes of you and the two girls of the Xu family are just a little similar, the colors are similar, and it's nothing." Nowadays, such a color of clothes is fashionable in the capital, if you go out to a banquet, I am afraid that eight out of ten girls are wearing green and green clothes, and it is common to bump into them, so you don't have to care. ā
Niu nodded: "That's right, at the banquet before, there were twenty or thirty people wearing all kinds of blue, green and blue clothes, and I almost recognized the wrong person! Speaking of this, she scolded her husband again, "It's all your fault, when Mizhi's family was about to go out to the capital, you asked someone to make new clothes for our mother and son, and when they arrived in Datong, they could barely wear them, and the mother-in-law said that they must make new clothes, otherwise they won't be able to see people after entering Beijing." When we entered Beijing, Changfang said that our newly made clothes could not be seen, and we had to make a few new clothes in the house. I went to the banquet before and went to see the dragon boat race today, I wore new clothes made in this house, and there were seven or eight of the same materials as me, and the two nephews and daughters-in-law of the long house also discussed in private that they would make new clothes when they got home, so as not to always be heavy with others. Why do you think the customs in this capital are so strange? We haven't finished five months this year, but we've made dozens of new clothes, and it's too expensive, right?!"
Qin Bai smiled dryly, how did he know what styles of clothes the ladies in the capital wore from time to time? The clothes he made in Mizhi could still be worn now, whether they were worn at home or when they went out, no one said anything was wrong?
Qin Han really looked funny. My grandfather was a middle-aged and elderly man, and as long as he was not fashionable, the clothes he wore could not change for ten years, and it would not be a big problem. But a high-ranking lady like my grandmother always has to pay attention to fashion. Mizhi is far away in the northwest, and the local fashionable clothing styles can barely make do with Datong, but they are completely insufficient when they arrive in the capital, so the mothers-in-law sent out by the Chengenhou Mansion insist on making new clothes for the Sanfang family. But they left the capital, it was already a matter of last autumn and winter, and when they returned to the capital at the turn of spring and summer this year, the fashion must have changed again, so after the third room entered the house, they had to make new clothes. The trend is like this, if you have to pay attention to it, you can only keep spending money. But if you're just wearing a classic, there's no need to be so particular.
Qin Hanzhen smiled and said to the Niu family: "When our family moves to a new house, we will make our own decisions about making new clothes in the future, and grandmother can save some money." In fact, there are not many times when our family goes out as a guest, clothes or something, as long as it is not rude and does not make people laugh, it is fine, and it is a waste to do too much. ā
Niu Shi thought so: "But isn't it? But the long house is in charge, I don't have much to say. ā
Speaking of moving to a new house, Niu asked again: "There has been no movement next door, not to say to move, not to say not to move, what does it mean?"
