"Hehe, yes!" Mother Du smiled and said, "The day before yesterday, our wife and five girls came to Xuzhou to visit our lord and old lady. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info brought some gadgets from the capital. No, the old lady asked her to pack up a few things for the girl to relieve her boredom. ”

Lan Xin knew that the lady in Du's mother's mouth was the wife of Mrs. Fang's son, Fang Mingyuan, the wife of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the fifth girl was Fang Mingyuan and the daughter of the Lu family, and Fang Ning, the granddaughter of Mrs. Fang. The Fang family is thin, so Old Man Fang stipulates that the order of the children and grandchildren in the family is that men and women are mixed, although Fang Ning says that she is the fifth, she is the only daughter of Fang Shilang.

It's just that Lan Xin doesn't understand why Mrs. Fang would take the five girls to visit Old Man Fang and Old Madam Fang at this time, shouldn't the New Year Festival in the capital be busier? Mrs. Fang, as the head of the family, leaves the house at this time, who will preside over the middle feed of the family?

"Xiao Cui!" Just when Lan Xin was heartbroken for others, Du's mother beckoned to the little girl.

The little maid named Xiaocui stepped forward and put the box in her hand on the table beside Lan Xin. After opening, it was pushed to Lan Xin. Lan Xin looked at the box and couldn't help but be amazed, seeing that there were small comb grates, exquisite beaded flowers and small ornaments of different shapes. The most amazing thing is a hand-woven bracelet, the material of the bracelet is not a precious jewelry, but the expensive way to weave the bracelet is novel, and the matching is ingenious, which shows the exquisite mind of the person who weaves the bracelet.

Lan Xin liked it as soon as she saw it, and she held it in her hand and played with it for a while, she couldn't put it down. raised his head, glanced at Du's mother in surprise, and then put it back in the box.

Mother Du looked at Lan Xinmei and smiled, she really liked those things, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but deepen. Looking at the love for that bracelet, Du's mother's eyes were a little complicated.

"Thank you so much, old lady, and thank you mother." Lan Xin closed the box, smiled and thanked her, and when she saw the little maid standing on the side, she said with a smile, "Miss Xiaocui has also worked hard." ”

"The slave doesn't dare to be a girl's compliment." Xiao Cui bowed, her movements were coherent, and she was generous.

Lan Xin's eyes paused slightly, this little girl with eyes acted and spoke very well, she should be from the capital. However, it can also be seen from this that Mrs. Fang is also a strict person who governs the family. Lan Xin looked at Du's mother with a smile, and then said, "The weather is cold and the hospitality is not good, so let Miss Xiaocui go and drink a cup of hot tea." ”

Xiaocui glanced up at Du's mother, saw Du's mother nodding, and curtsied: "Miss Xie to enjoy tea, thank mother, the slave and maid retire." ”

"Miss Xiaocui is polite." Lan Xin said with a smile, glanced at Qinghe, Qinghe understood, saluted and withdrew, while pulling Xiaocui to the side room outside, and stuffed a purse into her hand. Ziyi pulled the green plum and retreated silently to the blue gauze cupboard, where she did not disturb the conversation of the people inside, and could hear the girl's instructions in time.

Mother Du saw everything in her eyes, quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, secretly surprised in her heart: the Zhou family is just a new merchant, but the eldest girl takes care of the house in an orderly manner, and many big families are also unrelenting, no wonder the old lady will look at her differently.

"The old lady is so loving, Lan Xin really doesn't know how to thank her. I don't know when the old lady will be free, Lan Xin went to the house to greet the old lady and thanked her in person. Lan Xin saw Du's mother put down the teacup and chatted with her with a smile.

"The old lady is looking forward to the girl! The forehead wipes and sleeve guards that the girl sent to the old lady last time, the old lady is very rare! Praise the girl's skill. Mother Du said with a smile: "The wedding date of the third girl is set on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and after the third girl gets married, she also asks the girl to go and talk to the old man often." ”

The third girl Fang Jing was married to Song Tao, the eldest young master of Zhizhou in Pinghu County, Xuzhou. Pinghu County is a large county in Xuzhou, and there are four smaller counties under its jurisdiction. In other words, Pinghu Zhizhou is in charge of four counties. The governor was subject to the prefect of Xuzhou, the highest governor in Xuzhou City.

The Song family is a family of poetry and books, and it also has some relationship with the Fang family, I heard that the eldest young master of the Song family is also a talent, and he is a good match for Fang Jing. Fang Jing and Song Tao, the eldest young master of the Song family, have been married for two years, and it is normal to set a wedding date, but I didn't expect it to be set in such a hurry. Today is Laba, and there are not a few days left before the day they get married, can the marriage be fully prepared in such a short time?

"Sister Qin's wedding date has been set? What a happy event! Lan Xin said with a smile, although she had many questions in her heart, but this was not what she should ask.

Mother Du nodded secretly at Lan Xin's calmness, and said with a smile on her face: "Yes, the happy event of the third girl is approaching, and the house is also very busy!" Fortunately, the eldest lady and the fifth girl came back, and the house was much easier. ”

"There is an old lady in the house, and the eldest lady and the second lady are in command, and I believe that no matter how busy you are, you will not go wrong. I once joked that Sister Qin said that the double-sided embroidered screen I embroidered 'Rich Flowers Bloom' was kept for her to add makeup, and I didn't want it to come true so soon, but I just hoped that Sister Qin would not dislike it. Lan Xin said with a smile, carefully looking at Du's mother's expression. Du's mother's eyes lit up when she heard the double-sided embroidered screen. Although it was a flash, it was still captured by Lan Xin.

"The girl is gracious. The girl's embroidery is second to none in this Xuzhou city, not to mention that the girl's double-sided embroidery is not comparable to anyone. I'm afraid, I can't find a few people like the girl in the capital. The girl's mind, how could the third girl not understand? ”

"Mom is too famous, the double-sided embroidery is just my own gourd painting scoop, blindly figured out, there is no teacher, where is the mother's praise?" Lan Xinshu replied with a smile, changed the conversation, and continued, "I need to find someone to finish the screen shelf as soon as possible, so that I can add makeup to Sister Qin as soon as possible." I wonder if there will be a chance to meet the five girls at that time? Finally, he asked tentatively.

Mother Du's face was relieved, and she sighed secretly, thinking that the eldest girl was really transparent. said with a smile: "The eldest lady is worried that after the third girl gets married, the old lady will have no one to talk to her, and she will not be comfortable for a while, so she will leave the fifth girl in Xuzhou to accompany the old lady." The fifth girl is the youngest child of our uncle and eldest lady, who has been spoiled and grown up, and some children have a heart, but they are very easy to get along with. The girl has a quiet temperament, and she will definitely fall in love with the five girls! ”

"I don't dare to think about it, I just hope that the fifth girl doesn't want to dislike me for being clumsy." Lan Xin replied with a smile.

"The girl is too modest." Mother Du said with a smile, "The old slave has been bothering the girl for a long time, it's time to go back." With that, Du's mother stood up and saluted and said goodbye.

"Recently, the house has been busy, so I won't be able to keep my mother. When I'm free, ask my mom to come and sit again. Lan Xin stood up and sent him off.

Hearing the sound of the inner room, Ziyi walked in quickly, handed the cloak to Du's mother, and sent someone to call Xiaocui over. Mother Du cleaned up and said goodbye to Lan Xin again: "Girl, please stay, the old slave retires." ”

"Mommy walks slowly." Lan Xin said with a smile.
