Chapter 3 Greeting
Six years ago, Zhou Dahai bought the current house and moved to Fucheng with the old lady and the old lady. After two years www.biquge.info I bought a smaller house next to it, separated it from the middle, and made a two- and three-room mansion. The second and third rooms need the big tree to enjoy the shade, and the big house also needs people to help take care of the business, so the Zhou family has always been very harmonious.
Three years ago, Mrs. Zhou died. The fallen leaves returned to the roots, and the old lady asked to return to the ancestral grave in Shantun. Zhou Dahai took the two brothers to help the coffin back to the mountain. Zhou Dahai rebuilt the ancestral tomb with money and took care of it with the help of others.
It's just that in Layue, the old lady has to go back to sweep the tomb and worship her ancestors. The three Zhou Dahai brothers will accompany the old lady back, but this year Kyoto will send a messenger to Xuzhou for a routine inspection. It's just that this year, it's unusual that there will be people from the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau in the Qincha's team to buy cloth for the army. If you catch the line of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, even if you can't be a supplier to the army, the people of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau will raise their hands slightly, and it will be a lot of income.
The Zhou family started with a cloth business, and now it is a big family in the weaving and dyeing industry in Xuzhou City. This time, I also worked hard to prepare for the Qin mission. So the three brothers who returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors did not go back this time, but only arranged for the eldest young master Zhou Wentao and the second young master Zhou Wenyang in the second room to accompany the old lady back with the second girl Zhou Yuxue in the third room, Zhou Yiyun and the third young master Zhou Wenjin in the third room.
Originally, the old lady wanted to go back with Lan Xin, but Liu disagreed, and in the end, she didn't know how to persuade the old lady to dispel this idea.
"Hey!" Thinking of this, Lan Xin couldn't help but sigh, I don't know if it was from the age of four or five, my mother didn't let herself go out, and she didn't allow herself to contact the people in the village. After coming to the state capital, the situation is better, although she can go out and make some friends, but she is still very strict with her. Lan Xin always couldn't understand why her mother was so lenient with the third sister, third brother and fourth brother, but she was strict with herself.
I remember when she was a child, she and her sister sneaked out to buy sugar gourds. The younger sister held the sugar gourd to show off to her mother, and the mother hugged the third brother, touched her head with a smile, and praised her sister for being sensible. When he saw the sugar gourd in her hand, his face changed, and he tore off the sugar gourd in her hand and slammed it to the ground. and warned her that if she went out secretly again, she would never go back.
At that time, she was completely frightened, forgot to cry, and even forgot to react. Looking at the back of her mother holding her third brother and leading her sister away, she just watched blankly and stood stupidly. Snowflakes fell in the sky, and snowflakes fell on her hair, clothes・・・・・・
Daddy came back and carried her into the house in the snow. That night, she had a fever, and in a daze, she heard her father's voice reprimanding her mother, who retorted at first, and then stopped talking. Since then, although her mother is still strict with her and still doesn't let her go out, things like that day have never happened again.
The first time she went out, Aunt Yuzhi took her out, and I don't know what method Aunt Yuzhi used, and no one found out that they went out. That day, she felt that the sky was very blue and the clouds were very white. When Aunt Yuzhi saw her so happy, she felt sad for a while, and she couldn't bear to take her away. After adjusting his mood, he talked to her about the conditions, if he still wants to go out in the future, he must be obedient and keep this secret.
Lan Xin's chick nodded like a peck of rice, and stretched out her delicate fingers to pull the hook on her・・・・・・
"Girl. Lu Mei's shout interrupted Lan Xin's contemplation, "Ziyi is here." ”
There are three big maids in Lan Xin's house, Qinghe, Ziyi and Lumei. Lumei is the oldest, one year older than Lan Xin, and is seventeen years old today. After Lan Xin settled down, the Liu family didn't know who to listen to, and the big families had to prepare a room, so the Liu family bought the green plum family and sent the green plum to Lan Xin's yard. Qinghe and Ziyi are the same year, both are fifteen years old, Qinghe was rescued by Aunt Yuzhi from the side of the road, and she was also brought up by her aunt, although Ziyi was not brought up by her aunt, but she was also trained by her aunt.
"Why are you up, are you feeling better?" Lan Xin asked with a frown when he saw Ziyi coming in. Ziyi has been infected with wind and cold in the past few days, so Lan Xin didn't ask her to serve and let her rest.
Ziyi bowed to Lan Xin, and replied with a smile: "Thank you girl for your concern, the slave has been lying for so long, and it has been much better." The old lady returned home, and the slave was worried that Sister Lumei would not be able to keep busy, so she came over to help. ”
"I knew that the purple-clothed sister was facing me. Lumei quipped with a smile. put the handkerchief that wiped Lan Xin's face in the basin, and walked to the wardrobe to choose clothes for her.
Although the Zhou family is not a noble family, they have lived in Xuzhou Mansion in recent years, and they have gradually moved closer to large families, and there are more rules in the house. The little girl came to inform the old lady that she had returned home, that is, to inform everyone to go out in advance to greet her. When you go out to greet you, you can't go out so casually.
After getting dressed, Lan Xin sat down in front of the dresser. Ziyi picked out some balm, gently opened Lan Xin's movements, and lit lipstick. Lan Xin's lip color is good, so you don't need to put on too much lipstick. Then he picked up the grate and made Lan Xin's hair. Lan Xin's hair was smooth and smooth, especially easy to manage, Ziyi picked up half of her hair, skillfully tied a double bun on the top of her head, and took out two identical beaded flowers and inserted them on both sides. He also used a grate to straighten the rest of the hair.
"The girl is so pretty. Ziyi looked up and saw the person in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh. I saw that the skin of the person in the mirror was better than snow, his expression was leisurely, his beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and the tassels on the bead flowers swayed gently, setting off the whole person more delicately moving.
Lan Xin was amused by her appearance, pursed her lips and quipped: "Our purple clothes are boasting about their good craftsmanship!"
"Girl, you're here to make fun of the slave again. Purple Yi shook Lan Xin's sleeves nonchalantly.
Lumei also covered her mouth and smiled on the side, but her eyes were full of envy. She had not been with the girl for long, and the girl had treated her well, but she always felt that something was missing.
Although Ziyi was talking and laughing, the movements in his hands did not stop. She quietly put away the red coral string that Lumei took out, and took out the inconspicuous pearl string and put it on Lan Xin's hand. The string of coral was given to the girl by Mrs. Fang, and it was favored by the third girl at that time, but this was Mrs. Fang's heart, so it was not easy to give it to her. asked the third girl to pick out other jewelry, but the third girl was not polite, and took away several valuable jewelry from the girl. Even then, I was angry with the girl for several days.
Lan Xin watched Ziyi put away the coral string, but she didn't speak, and let her put the pearl string on her hand. She knew that Ziyi was careful, and she must have remembered the unpleasantness between her and Evian last time.
But all this is different when I see Lumei's eyes, and there is an indescribable feeling in my heart. Seeing Lan Xin coming over, he quickly restrained his emotions and adjusted the expression on his face. Put the hooded cloak in his hand on Lan Xin and fasten the belt.
Everything was cleaned up, and Lan Xin led Ziyi and Lumei to the gate of the mansion.
