Chapter 27: Boiling Horses with Green Plums (6)
When autumn was getting stronger, Zhu's mother suddenly received a post from the mighty general Bai Jia. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On weekdays, the Zhu family and the Bai family have no intersection. Zhu's father is also a civil official, and there is not much intersection with the military attaché, and when he suddenly received this post, Zhu's father and Zhu's mother were both a little apprehensive.
But if you talk about it, this mighty general can be regarded as Zhu's father's boss, so he has to go to this banquet!
On that day, Mother Zhu took Zhu Yao to the banquet together. After arriving at the Bai family, I found that this banquet was not just for their family, but almost all the unmarried daughters in the capital were present. Now, Mother Zhu understands!
The son of the Bai family also inquired before she came, and he was more than twenty years old. Earlier, because he was marching outside with his father, he delayed his life's events. When we won the battle some time ago, the capital was still very lively. Presumably, the Bai family was also in a hurry, so they posted widely and cast a net to catch fish.
Zhu Yao followed behind Zhu's mother, following in the same direction. There are many people who attend such banquets, and that's it. In addition, Zhu's father's official position is not high, and not many people notice her, so Zhu Yao should go through the motions. Anyway, she identified Zhou Yao in her heart!
Later, the old lady of the Bai family spoke and asked the little girls to play in the garden. Zhu Yao didn't have that thought, she still sat with Zhu's mother, just waiting for the hour to go home.
Suddenly, a girl came in the door and said, "Old lady, the eldest young master is back, and this son is coming this way." Zhu Yao raised her eyes and secretly looked at the old lady, her eyes rolled a few times, and she didn't want to meet this young master of the Bai family. Then he got up and said with a little embarrassment: "Old lady, the little girl is a little uncomfortable, can you ask this sister to take me for a convenience?"
Old Lady Bai didn't come to see Zhu Yao, but when she said this, she immediately called a girl next to her and took Zhu Yao out.
In the garden, a group of little girls are playing a game of drumming and passing flowers. Zhu Yao walked over from another path, just enough to see the scene in the garden clearly.
The young master of the Bai family happened to enter the garden at this time. Seeing a group of little girls appear in their garden, they didn't pause, and entered the back room without squinting.
Zhu Yao looked at the girls who were stupid in place, and she was happy with a poof!
"No one has ever told you, will you be punished for laughing at others behind your back?" The voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Yao's ears. Zhu Yao was startled, and turned his head to see that the person who had just entered the inner room was standing behind him at this time!
Zhu Yao was really frightened now! She looked in the direction of the room, and then at the person in front of her, she couldn't figure out how this person did it! Could it be that he could penetrate the wall? Zhu Yao secretly guessed in her heart.
"Why didn't you speak? Didn't you watch the play just now and was very happy?" Seeing that Zhu Yao didn't speak, the young master of the Bai family spoke out again.
"Bai Gongzi only knows that I am laughing at others behind my back, but I don't know how can you be a gentleman doing this peeping behind your back?" Zhu Yao rolled his eyes and retorted.
"Oh, it's still a clever little girl, and I'm dumb. The young master of the Bai family raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"You are dumb, your whole family is dumb!" Because of Zhou Yao's relationship, Zhu Yao's most taboo on weekdays is that others say this, and now that the young master of the Bai family has committed her taboo, she doesn't care about anything else, and she immediately blew up, and she fought back regardless of it. After saying that, he snorted heavily and turned back to the house.
Mother Zhu saw that Zhu Yao had gone out for a while and didn't come back, and she had long been worried about whether she had a conflict with others, so she was saying goodbye to the old lady and preparing to come out to find Zhu Yao and go home. The two mothers and daughters met each other, and Mother Zhu took Zhu Yao to turn around and say goodbye to the old lady and left Baifu in a hurry.
On the way back, Zhu Yao was told by Zhu's mother. It wasn't until she entered her own alley that Zhu's mother stopped.
Zhu Yao sighed secretly, and at the same time secretly decided in her heart: You must hurry up and chase Zhou Yao into your hands!
In the evening, Zhou Yao saw the letter handed to him by Zhu Yao's entrustment. In the letter, Zhu Yao told Zhou Yao everything that happened today, and at the end of the letter, Zhu Yao complained that he never wanted to participate in such a banquet again! The look in Zhou Yao's eyes darkened, maybe he should take action! But as soon as he thought of his own situation, Zhou Yao's expression dimmed, Zhu Yao is such a good girl, is the Zhu family willing to marry her to themselves?
At the end of December, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, the smell of the New Year on the street was already very strong! Zhu's mother was busy preparing the New Year's festival for some of Zhu's father's colleagues that day, when she suddenly heard someone report that the head of the Meng family had come!
Zhu's mother was stunned for a moment, the Meng family? Their family has never had any contact with the Meng family, how could the housewife of his family come to her house? But there is always no reason for the guests to rush out when they come to the door, although Zhu's mother was puzzled, she still changed her dress and welcomed the Meng family's housewife to the hall politely.
"Why don't you see your girl?" After chatting for a few words, the Meng family's housewife suddenly asked.
Mother Zhu sighed in her heart, and immediately understood that the mother of the Meng family was afraid that she was going to tell her son-in-law that she was coming!
"The girl has a wild temperament, and she was spoiled by her father, so she probably ran out on the street. Mother Zhu coped.
The mother of the Meng family covered her lips and smiled: "It should be like this, you should be more lively when you don't go out, and you won't have such an opportunity when you go out in the future! My mother sent me a letter some time ago, asking me to come to you to settle the matter, saying that such a good girl should not be turned back and be preempted by other families!"
After all, Zhu's mother has not been in Beijing for a long time, and these twists and turns of kinship in the capital are still unclear. It's just that as soon as the mother of the Meng family said some time ago, she knew that it was the Bai family!
"Thank you for the old lady's love, but my girl is still young and wild, and her father and I hope to keep her at home for two more years and teach her well. ”
Hearing Mother Zhu say this, the mother of the Meng family understood. But when his nephew finally met someone he liked, he naturally wouldn't give up just because Mother Zhu said such a few words. So she followed Zhu's mother's words and said: "Parents all think like this, but when their children are older, marriage is a natural thing." I used to comfort my mother in the same way, but my mother blindly felt that it was not easy to meet such a good girl. But since you intend to keep her for a few more years, then I'm not going to say anything else today, and we're going to move around and move around more in the future. If you are new to the capital, if there is anything inconvenient, you can come to me. ”
Mother Zhu naturally thanked her again, and the two women chatted for a while before the mother of the Meng family left.
