Lan Xin stared at the backs of Mother Du and Xiao Cui, who followed behind, and couldn't help but wonder. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info why did the Fang family do this?

Although merchants will not be discriminated against in the Dazong Dynasty, many large families like the Zhou family who have no background will not take it seriously. Although the old man of the Fang family has been in office for many years, his position in the court is still irreplaceable. Even the prefect of Xuzhou had to be respectful when he saw him, but what did the Zhou family rely on to get into his eyes?

It is not accurate to say that the Zhou family has fallen into the eyes of Old Man Fang and can interact with the Fang family. Because the elders of the Fang family and the Zhou family have never come and gone, every time the Fang family comes, they come directly to her courtyard, and they never go to see Mrs. Zhou and the Liu family. And the Fang family's posts are all under Fang Jing, inviting her to the house to play, and it has nothing to do with other people.

Fang Jing, as an official lady from the capital, although she is a concubine, she has her pride. I don't look down on the ladies in Xuzhou City. If you have to say that you only fall in love with Lan Xin, it is pure. With Lan's sharpness, how could she not see the disdain in her eyes and the impatience on her face? It was only in front of Old Madam Fang that she would be a little restrained.

Then it is obvious that every post should be the meaning of the old lady. However, why did Old Madam Fang exalt herself?

Qinghe walked in and cleaned up the tea set with her hands and feet, and after cleaning up, Lan Xin asked her with a smile: "What did you talk about with Xiaocui?" Qinghe and Ziyi have very different personalities, Ziyi is careful and calm, Lan Xin asked her to be in charge and hand over the things in the house and yard to her, and sure enough, Ziyi did things in an orderly manner. And Qinghe was a little rough, so Lan Xin handed over the matter of running errands outside and inquiring about news. Don't look at her arrogant, but when she gets things done, she is also the way to go.

"Xiaocui is a second-class maid in the courtyard of the five girls, and she came to Xuzhou with the five girls this time. Qinghe said with a smile, "The slave maid listens to Xiaocui, the girls in the big families in the capital will have one or even two housekeepers around them, four first-class maids, and eight second-class maids······"

"Is this what Xiao Cui said to you?" Lan Xin interrupted her and asked with a frown.

"Oh, no, it's not. Qinghe shook his head and said, "It was the slave who was curious, so she asked casually." After speaking, he cautiously looked at Lan Xin's face.

"Well, what else did you talk about?" Lan Xin said, nodding.

Qinghe carefully observed Lan Xin's expression, and seeing that she was not angry, she continued: "She told the slave maid about some interesting places in the capital. also talked about the five girls in their family. ”

Lan Xin couldn't help but listen more carefully, only to hear Qinghe say: "Xiaocui said that although the fifth girl is spoiled by everyone, but people are not arrogant, usually they like to play with some flowers and plants, and they will also go to the garden to flutter butterflies in the summer, she likes kittens and dogs very much, but Mrs. Fang does not allow her to raise them in the house, nor does she allow her to fiddle with those cats and dogs." The five girls couldn't, so they could only look at the cats and dogs that others were pregnant with. The five girls' female popularity is not very good, but the aura of the five girls is used in weaving, and the five girls' ties are particularly popular in the capital. ”

"And so it was. The corners of Lan Xin's mouth curled slightly, and she couldn't help laughing. When she saw the bracelet, she knew that the seemingly simple bracelet was not bought casually from outside. The corner of her eyes swept to Du's mother's complicated eyes, and the strange expression on Xiaocui's face affirmed her thoughts even more. It's just that I don't understand Old Madam Fang's intentions.

Now that she heard Qinghe's words, coupled with Mother Du's mention of her double-sided embroidery and the mention of the capital, Lan Xin would really be a mallet if she hadn't understood Old Madam Fang's intentions. She shook her head helplessly, and ordered Ziyi to go and bring out the pale blue silk in the box. Since the five girls have sent a hand-woven bracelet, let's embroider a purse as a return gift.

*******

Yu Xue looked at the crumbs of a few eight-treasure cakes on the plate, and then looked at the few eight-treasure sugars on another plate, and her heart ached. In order to buy these two kinds of snacks, she sent the little maid at home to line up early in the morning, and it cost her ten taels of silver. As a result, it all went into Zhou Yiyun's stomach, and Zhou Yiyun, a fool, didn't even say a word.

Yuxue glanced at Zhou Yiyun, who was "squeaking" and chewing the eight-treasure candy, and looked at the sugar juice flowing down the corner of her mouth, feeling nauseous. She lowered her head, took a big sip of tea, suppressed all the emotions in her heart, and said with a smile: "Third sister, let's take a sip of tea, I've eaten so many pieces of sugar in a row, don't be shy." As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Evian took Yuxue's tea, took a few sips, raised his hand to wipe it, and wiped the sugar juice and tea from the corner of his mouth. He smiled and said, "These eight-treasure cakes and eight-treasure candy are really delicious, I have never enjoyed eating them today." My mother usually only buys me a few yuan, and she has never bought so much like my second sister. Hiccup, hiccup!" he said, burping a few times.

Yuxue frowned, and the disgust in her eyes flashed. said with a smile: "The third sister is really childish, she eats so fast, as if her sister wants to rob you." ”

"How could it be? If the second sister wants to eat it, she will buy one for herself, how can she rob it from me?" Zhou Yiyun couldn't hold back in the end, took another piece of eight-treasure candy and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely.

Yuxue was choked by Evian's words, and drank several sips of tea in a row to suppress the anger in her heart. I snorted coldly in my heart: What a hopeless idiot! However, there is no way, who let this idiot have a powerful sister? Everyone said that the big sister was very kind and easy to talk to. Phew, that didn't provoke her bottom line, if she stepped on her bottom line, she would turn her face faster than turning a book. Her bottom line happens to be her younger siblings.

In order to achieve her goal, Yuxue suppressed all the emotions in her heart, and after putting down the teacup, a sincere smile appeared on her face again: "Aunt is all for your good." I've heard that people in big families pay special attention to health. They are particular about what they eat and how much they eat. ”

"None of the ones you said. The last time I went to the wedding banquet with my mother, those people ate happily, so the food was ····· Tsk, it's not enough to catch up with the circle!" Evian retorted with a wave of his hand.

"That's natural, their family is not even half of our family, what kind of big family?" Yu Xue said disdainfully, her tone changed, and then she said: "I'm talking about a real big family. It's like... It's like the Rong family. ”

"What the Rong family looks like, the eldest sister didn't say it. Evian shook his head.

"Yes, the eldest sister never talks about the Rong family, and I don't know what the Rong family is like?"

"Whether the Rong family is good or not is the eldest sister's business, what do you care about him?"

"It's because it's related to the eldest sister that we should know if it's okay?" Yuxue said seriously, "We should go to the Rong family to see if their family is really as good as rumored." Tomorrow's plum blossom feast is an opportunity. ”
