I was full of wine and food, and I listened to a few plays, and the ladies and relatives of various families said goodbye one after another.

Mrs. Xu was so happy that she was deliberately flattered that she invited the Ling family to sit next door. Grandma Chen Si also took advantage of the east wind to open her mouth to invite, and was gouged out by the eldest grandmother Bi and the second grandmother Ying.

Seeing off the guests, Lian Chengxian and others gathered in the back hall to drink tea and talk, and described the reception of male guests in front of him and Lian's family in detail, unexpectedly, everyone praised Su Jinhong, the only son left by the lord of Dan, for being gentle and courteous, and extremely amiable, but the son of the auxiliary general's mansion on the opposite side and Ruan Shaoqing's brother were either arrogant or wooden.

Ling Makeup asked with doubts in her heart.

Lian Chengxian said: "It's also our luck, the county lord has passed away for twenty-seven months, and the princess of Yuyang loves her grandson, for fear of delaying his career and family affairs, as soon as Qingming passes, he will be ordered to be filial, and now he is just going out to walk around, otherwise he will not come to our house." ”

Three years and twenty-seven months of filial piety are all courteous, Ling Xiang nodded, planning to find a way to go to Su Mansion for a formal visit the next day.

The nephew and uncle have two more things to do with the pharmacy and the pawnshop.

Cheng Run got his cousin's promise to be the shopkeeper in the pharmacy, so he naturally worked hard and hurriedly said: "I grew up in Jinling when I was a child, and I am familiar with the territory, so let me do the business of finding a face, I will look at a few suitable places, and then invite my uncle and cousin to come over, you can also worry about it." ”

Ling Xiang said: "The big cousin is worried about the door face, but the gentleman who opens a pharmacy and the purchase channel of medicinal materials are the most important, the pawnshop, there is no good court, and it can't be opened, let's inquire about people first." ”

"What my nephew's daughter said is very true, especially this pawnshop, there are many good things in Beijing, if the court's eyes are not good, and if you don't recognize the wrong color, you will get into trouble. Lian Chengxian nodded yes, "Shicai and the son of the Su family, in the end it was the county lord who raised him, his dress and demeanor are different from ordinary people, I heard that he is very well-connected, and his attitude is amiable. ”

Ling Makeup couldn't help but be surprised, when he was in Hangzhou, those eunuch families still looked down on the merchants, Su Gongzi was the son of the county lord, as his uncle said, it was not for another reason, and he couldn't think of what it was for a while, but he said: "It's for my father's business, and I also want to move around, my cousin is still young, and I'm afraid that many things are uncertain, and I want to change and go with him tomorrow, so I can act at the opportunity." ”

Lian couldn't help frowning: "You are a woman's family, and I talked to my neighbors about waiting for the word boudoir, why do you always have to show up?"

Ling Chunniang and the others nodded one after another, quite agreeing with Lian's words.

Ling Jiao smiled slightly, and said coquettishly: "That's what my mother said, my daughter has no intention of going back to Jiao, the daughter of a businessman, it's not that she shows up to be in charge, she has experienced it before, how can she live comfortably in her mother's house if she makes rules in her mother-in-law's house, doesn't my mother dislike me for wasting food at home, so I have to send my daughter out?"

Lian Shi was speechless by her bastard words for a while, and blamed her daughter for not hiding it, but she didn't have a way to take her, because she smiled at everyone: "Look! ”

In addition to showing pain for his nephew's daughter, he still felt a little regretful, Ling Makeup's idea was only a lot more than that of her brother-in-law Ling Dongcheng, and she had her own style, and now she had enough capital in hand, if she was a boy, his nephew and uncle would work together, and he would be very confident that he would play a piece of the world in the capital.

For ordinary women, lifelong events are naturally the most important, but for Ling Makeup, even the appearance is not accurate, he has never brushed his niece's intentions, but he also has some concerns: "Su Gongzi, if you are a boy, it is naturally the most suitable to come and go, I will make friends, the age difference is a little, look at his meaning, it is impossible to play together, Tao'er is still a little tender...... It's just that you are outstanding, even if you are modified, you can probably see it, and it is not appropriate to spread it. ”

Lian Tao wanted to take his sister along, but couldn't help answering: "Su Gongzi's knowledge of the world is not ordinary, sister might as well not modify, I went to visit Gongzi, my sister visited Mrs., and it is not difficult to talk to me." ”

For a large family, it is not reasonable for a woman to deliberately show up to meet a man after all, but the Ling family is in a hurry to rescue Ling Dongcheng, and Lian Chengxian said it first, Lian is a person who has no idea, so he has to hesitate and nod.

Ling Yingying smiled, and Zhang quipped: "The eldest girl is enough! ”

"I want to be at ease in my mother's house for the rest of my life, but my aunt doesn't think I'm okay?"

Zhang's "Hey" shouted: "I really want to bend to death, the girl is a serious master, the three of us are guests, the girl doesn't think we are always looking for a place, I have to recite the Buddha a few more times a day." ”

Lian said: "The family is big, I am happy that you all live together, if you don't have your help, I don't know what to do, don't say something unpleasant, I don't have to call my aunt and grandmother laugh." ”

Cheng Ai saw that his parents didn't mention his own affairs, and he was anxious, and when Lian's had this, he hurriedly said carefully: "That's right, now that my uncle is not at home, my aunt needs someone to help me here, if there is a place for my niece, just order it." ”

Ling Chunniang glanced at her daughter, and said in her heart that this girl is rarely tactful to speak today, and their husband and wife had already agreed to ask the Lian family to agree to take Cheng Ai to live, so she said: "I'm not afraid of younger sibling jokes, my daughter can't do anything, and she hasn't talked about family affairs until now, although there are one or two who come to the door, she can't have a flat head and a whole face, we are middle-aged women, and we are not willing to wronged her for a lifetime, if you let her study more with the eldest girl in the house, how much bookish is it, it's good for her, if you want to help you, it's a joke." ”

Lian beckoned Cheng Ai to come over and hold her hand: "What did my aunt say!" I have this meaning in my heart, the family is big, not to mention that my niece can live, even if your whole family lives, it also means reunion and excitement, where is it so lively?"

Ling Xiang listened, her head buzzed, and she felt that her mother was a little under-thinking.

No matter how the Cheng family says it, they are just cousins, and they have never gotten along before, it is easy to see each other, it is difficult to get along, it is easy to ask people to stay, and if there are pimples in the future, it will be difficult to ask people to leave. Other people can't see it, at least the eldest cousin Xue is not a good person......

Just thinking about it, Ling Chunniang had already said: "I thank my brother and sister for their kindness, but if my family lives in the house, you will not ask us to come out with food and clothing, it is really unreasonable, I can't let go of this old face, my grandson and Ze'er have their own livelihoods, my uncle and Ah Mei have planned the future for Run'er, except for Ai'er, I can't trouble you too much." If my younger siblings are free, I can move around a lot, and I will thank you in advance for such an idea at home. ”

After saying that, she gave a salute, and Lian hurriedly pulled her up.

Ling Xiang stepped forward intentionally or unintentionally to persuade her mother, and agreed to her aunt's request: "In the future, my aunt will have to sit more freely." It is equivalent to blocking the mouths of Xue and others, and the matter is settled.

After Ling Chunniang and the others said goodbye, Cheng Ai lived in the Wisteria Pavilion that had entertained their family before. Wisteria Xuan is not only quiet, but also quite spacious, Zhang's had to find a tooth wife, and added a few maids to Cheng Ai and watched the garden's mother-in-law, Lian's also rewarded her with the golden wisp of serving around her to be a big girl, Zhang's had already regarded the Ling family as his own, and couldn't help complaining a few words behind his back.
