Chapter 225: Settled
Spring is coming, everything is awakening, and as the green leaves on the treetops and branches are becoming more and more luxuriant, the masters and subordinates of the Xingyuan Marquis Mansion are becoming more and more busy.
The girls in the house have all reached the age of looking at each other, especially the second girl and the third girl have been in the old year, but it is just because of the disappearance of the uncle Zhou Hong that has been affected, and now Zhou Hong is back, and the people are safe and sound, and they have made great contributions to the praise of the palace, even if it is not a house, it is also a good thing for the entire Xingyuan Marquis Mansion, and even the girls have been questioned a lot more.
The eldest grandmother Wen, the second grandmother Ma, and the third grandmother Yuan, except for the fourth-room housewife, Zhang, because there is no daughter of the right age to be married, the other rooms are moving, enjoying flowers, feasting, spring outings, and singing halls...... Today you invite me, tomorrow I invite him, all kinds of invitations fly like snowflakes to the marriage, stacked higher than the old account books that have accumulated for many years.
Yuan went out a few times, his expression was getting worse and worse every time, and people looked more and more tired every time, Zhou Mingshan persuaded and begged, but in the end, she couldn't let Yuan change her mind, she could only put the marriage on hold for the time being, and secretly told Zang Rui to keep an eye on Yuan's body, and tell her as soon as there was anything wrong.
Fortunately, it may be that Dr. Zhang's medical skills are good, and Yuan's recuperation is good, except for sometimes his face is not good, he has been busy for more than half a month.
Zhou Mingshan was very happy, and ordered the steward to send a double gift to the Huichun Hall, thanking Dr. Zhang for his contributions.
Of course, Yuan was also in favor of gift-giving, and not only expressed great approval of Zhou Mingshan's proposal, but also selected a few items from his private room that looked neither luxurious nor practical.
"Doctor Zhang's medical skills don't have to be said, people are also careful, just with Sister Ning'er's current body, I should also personally thank others......"
Sister Ning and Brother Kang were twins at the beginning, and when Yuan was born, she was born prematurely, and when she was born, she looked thin and small, and she was afraid that she would not be able to raise it.
Although Brother Kang died in the end, it is no wonder that Dr. Zhang, Sister Ning is now well conditioned, white and fat, and she can't see the appearance of premature birth at all, and the child who is more than half a year old can already climb fast on the soft cushion, and he is very happy to see familiar people grinning and drooling.
Seeing the gloom in Yuan's eyes, Zhou Mingshan hurriedly changed the topic, "That's it, that's why we have to thank Dr. Zhang, not only Sister Ning is well raised, but even my mother's body is a lot better, and she looks a few years younger! Last time we went out, Li Hanlin's wife also said that my mother and I stood together and looked like sisters! So, I have to beg Dr. Zhang again to see if there is no way to make my mother a few years younger, so it would be better!"
It is human nature to love beauty, and Yuan is of course no exception, the flush on her cheeks became more and more obvious under Zhou Mingshan's gaze, and she slapped her in disguise, "What nonsense, don't you go to Dr. Zhang, how many years younger, you are a goblin!"
Seeing Yuan's embarrassed look, Zhou Mingshan continued to tease her, "Haha, I think my mother is much better looking than a goblin!"
The two of them laughed for a while, and seeing that the Yuan family was no longer depressed, Zhou Mingshan was relieved to go back to the backyard.
Zhou Mingluo's family affairs have also been decided.
In view of her actions before the draft, Zhou Mingshan was a little curious about her thoughts, after all, judging from her performance at that time, she already had a crush, and it was definitely not her cousin, the son of Guangyuan Bofu, what was the reason why she changed her mind so quickly and accepted this family business?
Meng Yuechan, who was still before getting married, solved her confusion.
"Just like me, I never imagined that I would marry him more than half a year ago. Speaking of Peng Qianhu, a red cloud appeared on Meng Yuechan's cheeks, "But the world is like this, you never know what will happen tomorrow!" There was a transparent helplessness and calmness in her tone.
"Sister Luo'er was originally a little cautious, but she is not a person who does not understand the reason, a lot of things have happened in the past six months, to put it mildly, she fell down from the daughter of the high Houfu all of a sudden, although the fall hurts, it is not necessarily no benefit, and many things are downplayed!"
Sure enough, goodbye Zhou Mingluo, she is no longer the temper that blows up at the slightest moment.
"Congratulations, second sister. ”
"Thank you, and I wish you all the best. ”
was a little uncomfortable with Zhou Mingluo, who was quiet like this, and Zhou Mingshan had to find something to say.
"Another day, our sisters will still find a chance to get together again, Sister Meng is also leaving, the eldest sister hasn't seen each other for several years, you are also soon, soon everyone will have to go their separate ways......" was originally a random topic, but thinking of the fate of these sisters in their previous lives, Zhou Mingshan was also a little sad.
Zhou Mingluo glanced at her deeply, his eyes were full of a little confusion, but more of them were still as firm and unyielding as before.
"In the past, I didn't feel like a little fight, but when I think about it later, maybe I will feel that this time is the happies......t time!
Zhou Mingshan was babbling to herself, but Zhou Mingluo turned his head as if he hadn't heard it, and quietly looked at the tall Xifu begonia branches and leaves outside the pavilion.
Just when Zhou Mingshan thought that she would never answer again and got up to leave, a soft "um...... suddenly sounded in her ears.
She paused, pursed her lips, and smiled.
The years are quiet, but that's it.
The day of Zhou Mingluo's marriage was half a month after Meng Yuechan's marriage.
Grandma Wen's has been worried about Uncle Zhou Hong and her son Zhou Mingzhang years ago, and when their grandfather and son came back, they were busy with the New Year's affairs, and after the New Year, they began to handle Meng Yuechan's marriage.
"In the end, it is the foundation of the Uncle's Mansion, although it is not the long house of the Emperor, but the dowry is also very attractive......" After seeing the dowry sent by the Wen family, the Yuan family couldn't help but nag with the personal girl after returning to listen to the idle house, "I heard that this son is the third in the clan, and he is the eldest son of the second room, although his appearance is not very outstanding, but he is very motivated, he has entered school last year, and he will participate in the Autumn Festival this year, and he will be indispensable in the future, even if he doesn't hit it, he will find an errand according to Guangyuan Bofu, and the days are not bad......"
"Alas......" Yuan said but suddenly stopped, sighing gloomily.
Zang Rui knew that she was worried about the marriage of the fourth girl, Zhou Mingshan, and hurriedly comforted her, "Grandma, why is she only thinking about the second girl, the girls in this house, whether it is their appearance or bearing, can they still be as good as our four girls?"
"That's good, that's good, you picked radish and cabbage at that time, how can there be such a brother with all four corners......?"
Zang Rui was afraid that she would think of Zhou Mingshan's reputation again, so she hurriedly spoke, "Look at what grandma said, who can still pick out our four girls, isn't it? I have seen a lot of the world with my grandmother over the years, and the girls have also seen a lot, but I don't think any of them can compare to our girls?" said and deliberately raised his chin proudly, "Isn't it true that grandma herself hasn't seen the girl......'s good?"
"You......" Yuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he was amused by her, stretched out his hand and nodded weakly, "I haven't seen you such a clever person in the past, but it's better than the storyteller's first storyteller, with you in the future, we will save that money, otherwise wouldn't we bury your ability!"
Although Yuan is gentle on weekdays, he rarely jokes with the girls around him. Especially recently, for Zhou Mingshan's marriage, it has not been smooth, and I haven't really been happy for many days.
Thinking of Zhou Mingshan's bright eyes, the curvature of the corners of her mouth couldn't help but get bigger and bigger, of course her daughter is very good, Yuan definitely agrees on this point, even if she is not as good as Zang Rui said, she is also one of the best in Kyoto, she is well-born, capable, filial, and loves her younger siblings......
Zang Rui saw that she was rarely so happy, so she naturally tried her best to show her surprise, and deliberately showed a look of surprise, "That's okay, grandma will have to make up for that money to the maid another day, otherwise the maid won't follow, and Ming'er may be able to save a lot of money with this......"
"Puff...... Yuan Shi finally couldn't help laughing, "Okay, make up, make up...... Look what you can!"
Zang Rui couldn't help it, and the master and servant laughed a lot.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, with the sound of a crystal bead curtain colliding, Zhou Mingshan entered the main room with brisk steps.
"Fu'er is back, come and sit down, are you tired?" The smile on the corner of Yuan's mouth had not been withdrawn, and he began to command one after another, "Zang Rui quickly called someone to the kitchen to see if the almond rose cheese is ready......?"
The fresh roses that have been harvested and dried in the old year are soaked in water, and then mixed into the steamed cheese, and then added some almonds, raisins, etc., which is warm and sweet, and is one of Zhou Mingshan's favorite desserts.
"It's time to do it, the servant will go and get it personally!" Zang Rui bent down and saluted Zhou Mingshan, before pursing his lips and answering with a smile as he went outside.
"I'm not tired," Zhou Mingshan grinned and sat down beside Yuan. Although she was not thirsty, she also knew that this was Yuan's fist and mother's love, her heart was sour and warm, she couldn't help leaning on Yuan's body, wrapping her arms around Yuan's waist, sticking to Yuan's neck, feeling the warmth of kindness, "It's still good to be a mother, remember me!"
Looking at her daughter who hated to get into her arms like a koala, Yuan also felt extremely ironed, her daughter grew up, and she rarely spoiled herself like this, and she didn't want to be so happy that she would mention any rules, but instead hugged Zhou Mingshan, stroked her back, and asked gently, "The Bai family is lively today, is Fu'er having fun?"
Zhou Mingshan's usual friendship with girls is Bai You, except for Jia Xinyi.
Jia Xinyi has already sealed Yi Concubine when she entered the palace, not to mention that Bai You has also reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and now Zhou Mingshan is going to the Bai family to add makeup.
"Well, it's quite lively, and there are quite a lot of people!" Zhou Mingshan didn't raise his head, just nestled in Yuan's arms, and his voice sounded muffled.
"What's wrong, aren't you happy?" Yuan Shi paused as he caressed her back hand, and quickly asked, "Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that there are a lot of people chattering and making a lot of noise!" Afraid that Yuan's would be in a hurry, Zhou Mingshan hurriedly raised his head and muttered deliberately, "It's not that you don't know, Mrs. Bai likes to pull people to ask long and short ......questions as soon as they meet."
"What nonsense?" Yuan stretched out his hand and poked her forehead, "That's the elders who care about you, how can you talk about long and short things behind your back......"
Zhou Mingshan was not depressed because of this, but just casually made a reason, afraid that Yuan's would continue to nag, so he quickly admitted his mistake, hugged Yuan's body and shook it while saying, "Mother, I know, I was wrong, I won't dare next time!"
Yuan Shi was a little dizzy by her, and was stunned and about to say a few more words to her, when he saw that Zhou Mingshan had already run out.
It turned out that Zang Rui came in with a tray, and the two happened to go against each other, and almost collided.
"Four girls beware of hot ......" Zang Rui quickly stopped, raised the tray, and turned her body to the other side by the way.
"Really, such a big person, and like a child!" Seeing her anxious appearance, Yuan couldn't help but be angry and laughed, and wanted to count a few words, but he was reluctant, so he had to mumble a few words secretly and let it go.
Looking at Yuan's expression, Zhou Mingshan knew that he had escaped this time, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took the almond rose cheese and used it with peace of mind.
After that, Zhou Mingshan accompanied Yuan to talk again, and then went back to the backyard.
"The girl is back!" Hongyun saw her and hurriedly greeted her, holding her arm.
"Okay, I'm not an old lady, and I still need you to hold on!" Zhou Mingshan deliberately glared at her, pretending not to see the eagerness in her eyes.
Zhou Mingshan didn't take her when she went out this time, Hongyun was so anxious that her eyes were red, and she begged for a long time before going out, and finally she had no choice but to send them out.
"Girl............" Hongyun saw the ridicule in her eyes, and pouted, "The girl is funny again, and the maid is worried that the girl will not be used at the table, so she specially prepared the girl's favorite food!
"Okay, okay, look at your stinginess," Zhou Mingshan stopped teasing her, "I'll take you next time I go out, there's still a chance!"
Hongyun immediately turned his worries into joy, stared at his big eyes, and said in surprise, "Really, the girl is not allowed to rely on it, she counts when she speaks!"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Mingshan to respond, and ran up the steps with a few steps, shouting, "Green Cloud, Green Cloud, quickly bring the golden bergamot sesame cake prepared for the girl, and what kind of balls......
