Old Madam Shen introduced the young man who laughed at Dugu Weiwei again, and it was really the eldest cousin Shen Ming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Ming smiled and asked, "What kind of meeting gift does Cousin Wei Wei want?" β
"Can you ask for anything?" Dugu Wei only smiled evilly.
"Uh-----" Shen Ming couldn't help but look at Dugu Weiqing.
Dugu Wei smiled sullenly and turned his head and pretended not to see it. Should! I told you a long time ago, this girl doesn't know what she means badly, but she knowingly commits it.
"Ahem...... Wei Wei, you see, the eldest cousin has just served in the Hanlin Academy...... Ahem...... So ......"
"So the eldest cousin is also a Great Wei official, and he has his own Yulu, so he used his Yulu to prepare a very precious gift for Weiwei, right?" Dugu Wei's only face was moved, "The eldest cousin is really good to Wei Wei, he gave such a precious gift when they met for the first time, how embarrassing it can be to teach people!" β
"Huh? Oh, yes......" Shen Ming touched the things he had prepared, and suddenly felt that he couldn't handle it.
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen smiled and looked at their grandson and deflated. The rest of the room laughed as well.
Dugu Weiqing looked at him with a smile, and said to Dugu Weiwei: "The eldest cousin knows that you love to play polo, so he prepared a good bow pole for you." It is made of hundred-year-old heterogeneous vines that grow in the deep valley of Taihang, which is as hard as iron and tough as bamboo, which is a rare treasure. Does Wei Wei like it or not? β
"Oh? That's great! The eldest cousin had a heart, and knew that Wei Wei was missing a bow, so he prepared in advance. The eldest cousin is so understanding. Dugu Weiwei stroked his palms and said with a smile.
"Uh----- oh, I prepared a bow pole, but it didn't dry just after the paint, and when it was done, the eldest cousin personally sent it to my cousin." Shen Mingstiff said with a smile.
Oh mother, let me slow down, I'm about to die of heartache! There are only about 20 bow poles in Chang'an! I took so many people and wasted so much effort to get it, and it didn't heat up in my hands! Dugu Weiqing, the fox, had to be sent out in a few words.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Dugu Weiqing, Dugu Weiyun smiled lightly: "The eldest cousin loves his younger brothers and sisters, and he is really an example of being a brother." β
Shen Ming had a bitter face: "Hehe! β
Dugu Weiwei smiled so happily, thanked Shen Mingfu again, took a few steps forward and suddenly turned around and asked, "I heard that the eldest cousin tried the second class in the palace the year before last?" β
"Well, I am honored by the saint and ashamed of my brother." Shen Ming replied.
"Oh----- what a rumor......"
"Naturally, it's true, can I still lie to you for my brother?"
"But, how did the eldest cousin get in?" Dugu Weiwei asked seriously with a blink of eyes, and turned around and left quickly.
"Naturally...... Dugu Weiwei is the only one who stops me! You little scoundrel, I promise not to hit you! β
Is there such a bully? The two foxes, one big and one small, pit their own treasures, and take advantage of them and laugh at people for being too stupid.
Mrs. Shen squirted tea with a "poof", his beard shook, and there were a few more lines on his face that was originally sparsely wrinkled.
Old Madam Shen couldn't laugh loudly, only made a dumb sound of "ho-ho" in her throat, and kept dipping the handkerchief with tears from laughter in the corners of her eyes.
Shen Shi couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You bad girl, you are really becoming more and more lawless." β
When she saw the appearance of the old mother, she hurriedly went up to comfort the old lady Shen, while not forgetting to count Dugu Weiwei: "Stop, your grandfather and grandmother are old and can't stand the joy and sorrow, don't be a moth anymore." β
"Sister, don't scold the girl, it's been a long time since my father and mother have laughed so happily, Wei Wei is really a pistachio." The eldest aunt Wang said.
The eldest aunt Wang put her arms around Dugu Weiwei and said with a smile: "Your eldest cousin is a stupid ....." and then introduced her to her eldest cousin Jiang.
Jiang is Shen Ming's wife, the two got married not long ago, they just got pregnant, their health is not good, and their faces are a little pale. After the two sides greeted each other, the eldest aunt Wang asked Shen Ming to send his daughter-in-law down to rest first.
Later, he introduced the twin sons Shen Zhe and Shen Zhi born to the Wang family, as well as the daughters Shen Ying and Shen Ling, who were also the eldest aunts. Shen Xia and Shen Fang, who were born from the third aunt.
Shen Zhe and Shen Zhi are both fourteen or fifteen years old, and compared to Shen Ming's cheerful personality, the two are a little shy.
Shen Ying is sixteen years old, and it is said that she has already decided to marry, and she will marry a woman next year.
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, men and women have married late, men are about twenty, women are sixteen or seventeen years old, and even drag on to twenty, Shen Ying will be seventeen after the New Year, and it is not too late to marry.
Her appearance is seven or eight points similar to Shen's, standing with Shen's, more like a mother and daughter than Dugu Weiwei and Shen's. Elegant and moving, shy and gentle, and looks very easy to get along with.
Shen Ying gave a duck-shaped purse, and the beak, eyes and feathers of the duck were embroidered with various colored silk threads on the surface of the bag, especially the embroidery of the feathers.
The bottom of the purse is decorated with koi knots and beads, which contrast with the duck.
Such a meeting gift, at a glance, you can know that it was thoughtful. Dugu Wei thought that the eldest cousin should have inquired about his preferences and knew that he was a person with a detached personality, so he embroidered such a gift as he liked.
Because of this gift, Dugu Weiwei became close to his eldest cousin all of a sudden.
Shen Shi said angrily: "Ying'er, you have a lot of embroidery work, you are usually very busy, and you also found time to make a purse for her, it is really difficult for you." Her children's family has no longevity, and she doesn't know where she is still going after a few days, so why waste time. β
Shen Ying is about to get married, and she has to embroider her wedding dress, hijab, quilt and other objects, and she has to make shoes and other greeting gifts for her in-laws, which is really busy.
Shen Ying was slightly surprised, "It's just a gadget, where it will take time." I often hear that the little cousin is smart and clever, and the niece likes it tightly. β
Dugu Weiwei smiled like a flower, and when she spoke alone, she was really insincere, she could see it clearly at a glance. Approached and grabbed Shen Ying's arm and said, "The eldest cousin is so good, I also like the eldest cousin." β
Shen Ling and Dugu Weiwei are about the same size, their eyes are flexible and amiable, there are two smiles embedded in their round faces, they are combed in hanging buns, their bodies are slightly fat, and they look childish.
She rubbed over, blinked her eyes and said, "And me, and me, I also like my cousin and eldest sister." β
Wang said to Dugu Weiwei: "Your cousin Ling, two months younger than you, is still like a child. β
Shen Ling pouted, stomped his feet and said, "Mother, you always laugh at people, where do people look like children?" It's clear that they've grown up! β
She sneered in her mouth, peeking at Dugu Weiwei from time to time, as if she was afraid that Dugu Weiwei would think she was naΓ―ve.
When Dugu Weiwei saw such a cousin, he couldn't help but laugh, and stepped forward to take Shen Ling's hand, "Hello cousin Ling." β
Shen Ling's eyes lit up immediately, he grabbed Dugu Weiwei with both hands, and said excitedly: "Cousin, I heard that you made a lot of delicious food in Benzhou?" Tell me what you have and what you're going to do. β
This time it's the turn of the eldest aunt to cover her face, this child's eyes lit up when he heard what he was eating, he is still young, and it is nothing to be fat, what will he do in a few years! It's sad to die.
Dugu Weiwei was amused by her, "I brought some pork ribs today, and let the kitchen make them for my cousin to eat later." β
"Really, that's great!"
Shen Ling couldn't close his mouth happily, completely ignoring the Shen family's unbearable expression.
