Mrs. Zheng is kinder than Mrs. Chen, her face is round, and her black eyebrows hang down because of her perennial smile, revealing blessings. Mrs. Qin entertained her in the second hall, because she brought the young lady of the Zheng family who had not left the cabinet, so Wan Tian was also allowed to go to the second hall to accompany the guests, Mrs. Zheng looked left and right, and wondered: "Aren't there three young ladies in the family?"

Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "The third girl went to the boarding school, and she was only allowed to go home after five days." ”

Mrs. Zheng was surprised: "The girl's family lives alone outside, and Mrs. is relieved?"

Mrs. Qin sighed: "She has her brother's support, and our master personally nodded her head, what can I do if I don't worry? But fortunately, the discipline in that school is very strict, and the classmates are all girls of the same age, so I am a little ironing." ”

The little girl brought by Mrs. Zheng is two years younger than Wan Tian, but she is more lively than Wan Tian, probably because she lives in the countryside, and the Zheng family's family style is not as strict as the Xie family, at this moment, when I heard Mrs. Qin talk about the school, I couldn't help but be quite interested: "Madam, how long does the third sister go to school?"

"She's early," Mrs. Qin made a contemplative look: "When the former Qing Lafayette was still there, she was eager to try to go to the women's school, and our family invited Mr. Yangwen to teach her for a while, and then my lord was ordered to prepare for the Zhenjiang Women's School, and she passed." ”

Miss Zheng sighed, her eyes were rolling, she was very eager to try, Wanlan looked at her and laughed, Miss Zheng didn't look at it, but Mrs. Zheng was embarrassed first, and gently patted the table to remind her: "What do you think, the big sister is laughing at you." ”

Miss Zheng hurried to see Wanlan, and also laughed, and bowed her knees generously: "Let the big sister see and laugh." ”

Wanlan was very interested in her, and asked her with her small words, "What books does Hui Ran usually read?"

Zheng Huiran said coquettishly: "I haven't studied, I have only been in school for one year, and I have to recognize a few words." ”

Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Zheng were still at a loss, and the two sisters were already laughing with their mouths covered. It turned out that this sentence was a sentence in the "Stone Record" written by Mourning Hongxuan during the Qianlong period of the former Qing Dynasty, which was used by her at this moment, one to express humility, and the other to imply her true talent and learning, and nothing was left behind.

Wanlan deliberately said: "Let's go back and take a look at the "Four Books", this is a serious book." ”

Before Zheng Huiran could open her mouth, Mrs. Zheng took over the words: "What the eldest lady said is the right thing, she has never liked to read those serious books, don't say "Four Books", it is like "The Biography of the Daughters", and she will be tired if she can't turn three pages. ”

Zheng Huiran's face flew with red clouds, and he muttered something in his mouth, looking a little embarrassed: "A-Niang knows that it's not arranging me every day." ”

Wan Tian didn't speak for the whole time, as if she was trying her best to avoid arousing Mrs. Zheng's idea, but Mrs. Zheng had been secretly paying attention to her since she entered the door, and seeing that she had not spoken, she couldn't help but have some whispers, and a little apprehensive, suspecting that the girl of the Xie family was arrogant and looked down on the squire.

The young master of the Zheng family didn't meet Wan Tian at all, and could only imagine Miss Xie Er's demeanor by listening to the relay of her mother and sister, but Mrs. Zheng didn't want to comment on someone she didn't know very well, and Zheng Huiran's attention was all on Wan Lan, and she really didn't have much impression of the taciturn Wan Tian.

"I shouldn't be very talkative, it's a world of difference from her eldest sister," Zheng Huiran commented thoughtfully: "I think the fourth brother is quiet enough, and if you marry such a quiet wife, won't you have to be quiet and panic in the future?" ”

Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "She likes Miss Lan so much that she thinks that anyone is inferior to her, and Ah Xingmo listens to her nonsense." ”

Zheng Xingzheng was lying on the recliner looking through a stack of foreign women in pictorials, listening absentmindedly while reading, and at the same time took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead: "Forget it, our family can't climb up to Miss Xie." ”

Mrs. Zheng said: "Yes, I see that the Xie family has a lot of rules, I am afraid that the noble girl will marry and dislike our family's vulgarity." ”

Zheng Xing laughed: "Our family is not so poor and exquisite, and I don't like those who are poor and exquisite, if you marry a sophisticated wife in the house, it will be fatal, and you can't live a good life." ”

Master Zheng didn't care about his son's marriage at all, it was all up to his wife, and their discussion was in full swing, and he had no interest in participating at all, just snoring on the bed and smoking a long cigarette stick, squinting at a stack of account books while smoking.

Mrs. Zheng pushed him: "You say, do you want our family to marry his family?"

Master Zheng smiled and waved his hand again and again: "I don't care...... No matter what, you are all in charge, if you can't be the master today, we will go to their house tomorrow to be a guest. ”

Mrs. Zheng snorted heavily: "I'm worried about your little bit of broken rent." ”

Master Zheng was dissatisfied: "What kind of rent is broken? If our family doesn't have that rent, I see where did your all-over silk come from? After this year, I will go back to rent, I have to think about it first, and then build a big wind valley car." ”

As soon as he talked about these topics, he became energetic, dancing with his hands, Mrs. Zheng didn't bother to listen to a word, and pulled her son to think about it: "Otherwise, I'll ask someone to hand over the post, and ask Mrs. Xie to take the two girls to the teahouse tomorrow to listen to the play." Ah Xing, when the time comes, you will go to the car to pick me up, and take the opportunity to take a look at Miss Xie Er. ”

Zheng Xing said "Hi": "Trouble, it's not just his family that has a girl." ”

Mrs. Zheng straightened her face and said, "It's not like this time I'll let you marry her." ”

Zheng Xing was reluctant, and he couldn't resist his mother, so he responded with a hum.

Mrs. Qin received the post from Mrs. Zheng and knew that this meant that she intended to make further contact. She asked Xie Daozhong about the behavior of the old man of the Zheng family and the little young master, Xie Daozhong frowned for a long time, and didn't say anything to evaluate, but the hesitation showed a ten-out of ten: "Since she handed over the post, then you can go, just take a look at Mrs. Zheng's personality, I am not very satisfied with Zheng Xusheng, he was not like this when he was young." ”

Mrs. Qin pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't let Huaichang go and get in touch with Zheng Ershao, they young people always have something new to say." ”

Xie Daozhong waved his hand: "I don't think Huaichang may be willing to associate with him, he was interested in talking to Zheng Xing at first, but in the end, he didn't even bother to give him a look." ”

Mrs. Qin's eyes rolled: "Don't put down Zheng Xing, I see that their little girl is cute and tight, no matter whether Ah Tian can succeed here, telling that girl to Huaichang is also a good woman." ”

Xie Daozhong glanced at his wife: "Let's concentrate on solving one thing first." ”
