Chapter 13: Sisters
Yu Mingzhi touched his ears, and sure enough, one was missing, and the maids hurriedly looked around. Qi's mother's eyes were bright, and she was the first to find the earrings by the pestle, secretly clenched them in her palm, and continued to pretend to look for something.
Yu Mingzhi urged two sentences on the side, and the maids thought that the lady was waiting for the young lady in the flower hall, and they were in a hurry, and the two maids were only looking for things, and they bumped into each other, and both fell to the ground, covering their heads and screaming.
It happened that Chun Xing was sorting out her jewelry, holding a pair of small jade bead earrings in her hand to put away.
Yu Mingzhi pointed at it, "Forget it, let's change it." She frantically changed it, and then ordered the maids to follow.
Chun Tao and Chun Xing glanced at each other, and had to bury their heads in keeping up.
The group walked through the verandah to the flower hall, and Yao and Guo Baoyun had already arrived.
"Baozhi is like a flower and jade, so beautiful." Yao smiled lovingly, and adjusted the position of the hairpin for Yu Mingzhi, "Your aunt, aunt, aunt, and sisters will come in a while." Bao Zhi doesn't have to be afraid, they all met and knew each other when they were children. ”
Yu Mingzhi nodded, but his expression was nervous and timid.
Yao's little can't be comforted by two more words.
Such a tiny and useless Miss Guo family failed to appear according to their plan. Guo Baoyun glared at Chun Tao, who was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head again.
Chunli whispered a few words in her ear, Guo Baoyun snorted coldly, this time let Guo Baozhi happen to dodge, next time it will not be so easy. must make her make a fool of herself in front of all her sisters, so that everyone thinks that Guo Baozhi is not qualified to marry Qin Sheren!
Not long after, the relatives of the Guo family came to the flower hall one after another, and Yu Mingzhi followed the Yao family to reacquaint themselves one by one.
The elders and sisters gave gifts and cared for a few words. Yao's sister Qu Yaoshi took Yu Mingzhi's hand, rubbed it for a long time, and said with emotion: "I saw it once when I was a child, and I became such a big girl when I saw it again." I'm sorry for you, just come back, eh? This hand ......"
She took Yu Mingzhi's hand and showed it to the others.
The ointment given by Qin Ji has a really good effect, but now it still leaves some faint scars, and for those pampered rich ladies and ladies, it is really hideous and terrifying to look at.
A few cousins covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, gasped, and looked at Yu Mingzhi with a somewhat complicated expression.
Among the elders, only Qu Yao's father-in-law Qu Wei is a member of the Ministry of Works, and his brother Qu Yan is a servant of the palace and belongs to the Imperial History Terrace. Approaching the Qu Yao clan, it is possible to get to know the relatives of the officials of the Yushitai...... Yu Mingzhi's face was indifferent, "With the love of the Qin She, it's almost well." It's all in the past, and it's not worth mentioning. ”
"How so?" Qu Yao patted her hand, frowned and said hatefully, "Do you remember the person who abducted you back then?" Who have you suffered all these years? With the Guo family's fame and power, how can they be easily let go......"
"Huh." A sneer interrupted her.
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out that it was Guo Long, Guo Chang's sister who had been silent and had not given gifts to Yu Mingzhi.
She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, as if today's party had nothing to do with her, "Yao Xiu'an, what you are asking, is the drunkard not in the bar?" ”
Qu Yao smiled: "Sister Ah Long, you said such things again." ”
Guo Chang's younger sister Guo Zengshi laughed along, "It's a good day for Baozhi to go home, Sister Ah Long don't scare her." ”
Guo Long raised the corners of his mouth and turned his head to drink tea, unimpressed.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qu Yao turned his head and continued to care about Yu Mingzhi.
Yu Mingzhi said: "All the Qin Sheren have cleaned up, and my aunt doesn't need to worry." ”
Guo Long interjected again: "The people of Qin She really care about our Baozhi, so let's not worry about it." What we can think of, can't the people of Qin She think of? ”
Qu Yao and Guo Zeng glanced at each other, and said, "That's right, Qin She's kind-hearted people don't mind that our Baozhi has suffered outside." ”
Yao's sister-in-law answered: "It's hard to buy a lover, Baozhi is blessed." But don't forget your sister Baoyun, who looks delicate and moving, has read books, and is a female celebrity, but I expect you to lead a good marriage. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone followed suit, most of them like her who secretly belittled the eldest lady of the Guo family by praising Guo Baoyun.
Yu Mingzhi sighed silently, this group of people were all found by the Yao family to find faults. The person Qin Ji wants to marry will only be her, so there is no need to argue with these people about anything, and she has lost her identity. Guo Long, who seems to be difficult to speak, has an unclear attitude, and may be able to get close, but Guo Long's husband's family is also in business, and it may be a lot of twists and turns to know people in officialdom.
But no matter how twists and turns, try not to rely on Qin Ji, and do your best on the way to avenge your father.
A few elders, you say a word to me, Guo Baoyun's face is flushed, lying on her mother's lap and coquettish.
Yu Mingzhi misses his mother and sister, if the family is still there, it will be such a scene of mother's love and filial piety now, right? She couldn't help sighing, and the whole flower hall was silent, and everyone looked at it together.
She said: "Thank you aunt, aunt and aunt for your care and advice, Bao Zhi will remember it in her heart and will definitely not forget it." Baozhi must be a good wife and mother, obey her husband, take good care of her husband, and not embarrass the Guo family. ”
Yao said: "Baozhi is well-behaved. In fact, when I heard these words in the ears of everyone, I wondered what I thought about - did they say a lot of things in vain just now? In the end, Guo Baozhi didn't want to take the initiative to help her sister find a good husband?
This Guo Baozhi seems to be silent and afraid, but he is clear in his heart, and he wants to shirk the matter in a few words, and he just can't make mistakes for them.
But no matter how you look at it, it is more appropriate for Guo Baoyun to marry Qin Sheren.
Qu Yao and Yao are sisters of the same father and mother, she doesn't understand her sister's thoughts, seeing that Yu Mingzhi has turned the topic into a dead end, she provoked other things, she took her daughter Qu Wenjing's hand, and said ostentatiously: "Recently, my family Wen Jing and Wen Ying have studied hard, and they are often praised by Mr. ”
"Oh?" Yao looked at his niece, "What books are you reading?" ”
Qu Wenjing raised her head, looking quiet and well-behaved without losing her atmosphere, "In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, there are also "Female Commandments" and "Female Rules". ”
Yao smiled and blamed his daughter: "Look, Baoyun, you learn more from your two cousins," she turned to Qu Yao's and said: "This child, a girl's family actually likes to watch "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Liutao" on weekdays, saying that she admires a female general of the previous dynasty very much, and she insisted on begging her father to invite a female martial artist to teach her kung fu with fists and feet, so that she can raise troops on the battlefield and defend her family and the country in the future." ”
Everyone laughed kindly, and Guo Zeng said: "There is nothing wrong with this, our Guo family has been in business for several generations, and we have not been an official." Maybe Baoyun can glorify her ancestors and add glory to her brother and sister-in-law. ”
Yao sighed: "How dangerous is that? ”
Guo Baoyun took her mother's hand and shook it a few times, and said coquettishly: "If you have to suffer hard, you can become a master." ”
"That's a good point." Qu Yao took the lead in applauding, "A girl with such insight, if she marries into an official eunuch's family, she will definitely be able to be a virtuous helper and help her husband's family rise to the top." ”
