Chapter 736: Sisters
The wind passing through the hall in the water pavilion was light, and the autumn water was exceptionally high and clear, gently blowing the clothes of several ladies. Murong Ling sat opposite the Liu family, and saw her expression very clearly.
Murong Ling instructed the little girl to put on new tea, and smiled with concern: "Madame, what do you have to say?" With our current friendship, can't we still open our mouths? ”
Liu smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer, so he had to take a bite of osmanthus cake to hide the embarrassment on his face.
Lu Shi's temperament was faster, and he took over the topic with a smile: "With Sister Liu's usual clever tongue, when it is her turn, she will become a stuffy gourd." This is the third girl mentioned just now, and Sister Liu is in a hurry. ”
Liu's face turned red when he said this, and he flew a knife eye at Lu, and said fiercely: "You know everything, Mrs. Chen is not an outsider, what should I say or not." The so-called family of women asked for hundreds of families, and today they were rejected by Mrs., and I will not lose to you. ”
Turning to Murong Ling, he smiled and said, "If you really mentioned the third girl, I'm in a hurry." It was for the sake of my unfortunate son, to the point where Mrs. saw the joke. ”
It turned out that Jing'an Hou Shizi had a very high vision on weekdays, and the ladies of the idlers couldn't get into his eyes. Although he is a hot young man in Beijing, he pulls his face when he mentions marriage, and he looks like he rejects people thousands of miles away.
It was also in time for the Hongluan Star to move, and at the palace banquet the day before yesterday, he saw Murong Wei and another woman standing down the porch and talking from a distance. He stepped forward to greet Murong Wei, and the girl gently avoided it.
Although it is far away, the clear and smoky Na has long been on the heartstrings of Jing'an and waiting for the son. It was like a heart lake that had never been stirred, and at that moment it began to sway deeply for this Yiren.
The graceful singing voice of the servants during the banquet, as well as the melodious music outside the hall, all lost their color, and at that moment, the flowers in the garden seemed to bloom for only one person, lingering in the heart of Jing'an Hou Shizi.
Jing'an Hou Shizi inquired slightly, and knew that the woman in the clear lake was the daughter of Chen Ge's old mansion, he respected Chen Rujun's person, and the good feeling in his heart was added, and he begged his mother when he came back.
The son finally opened up, and the Liu family had joys and sorrows. The Chen family is now hot, and with Xia Yuzhi's pearl and jade in front of him, the Liu family is afraid that his son will not be able to enter the eyes of the Chen family.
couldn't bear his son's repeated begging, this time through the invitation to Murong Ling, Liu was thinking about how to speak, until Murong Ling himself mentioned Chen Yinghua's marriage.
Liu simply revealed the meaning clearly, and said with a smile: "We are our own family and don't talk about two families, and I don't dare to learn from Wang Po to sell melons and praise her own children." According to my meaning, if the two children look at each other, if the third girl does not dislike it, I will ask the official media to come to the door, will Mrs. take a look? ”
Jing'an Houfu is a noble family and has an excellent reputation in Beijing. The person who came and went with the Liu family was also a person who was virtuous and elegant. Although it was just a temptation today, Murong Ling thought about it seriously, and he really liked it a little.
Chen Yinghua's temperament is jumpy, and she is a little similar to Liu's heartiness. If you get the appreciation of your mother-in-law, you will definitely not suffer if you marry into Jing'an. What's more, Jing'an Houfu is also located on Qinglong Street, if this marriage can be completed, the two sisters live on the same street and take care of each other.
Thinking of this, Murong Ling nodded and promised: "Mrs. Meng will not give up, so I will ask the two children to meet first." ”
Chen Zhihua was picking up the walnuts that Qiaozhen peeled in a small plate, and when he heard his mother say this, he smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence, I heard Yuzhi say that he is going to set up a family banquet in a few days, and invite a few close friends to sit at home." I've seen the list of his banquet guests, and Jing'an Hou Shizi is also on it. ”
With a slight turn of the sheared pupils, Chen Zhihua smiled: "I am inconvenient to move around, I am always bored, and I want to take Yinghua to live for two days for recreation in a few days, and I also ask my mother to promise." ”
It is clear that a pair of young people will be arranged to see each other, and Murong Ling and Chen Zhihua will accept it like this, and the matter will be half done. Liu Shi smiled with a smile on his face, and swallowed the half-cool osmanthus cake with satisfaction, only to feel that his mouth was full of fragrance.
She raised the teacup to Murong Ling: "As elders, we naturally expect the next generation to achieve a good marriage, I will first toast my wife with tea instead of wine, and sincerely hope to make this marriage with my wife."
The autumn breeze is cool, the osmanthus flowers fall all over the ground, and a few pieces gently float into the water pavilion with the breeze, stained with the sideburns of several ladies, bringing a refreshing fragrance. The surface of the lake was also wrinkled by the breeze, and wave after wave of ripples slowly swayed, rippling with ten thousand points.
Everyone used snacks and watched the boat lady waiting at the pier, and the excitement of the tour became more and more great. Mrs. Liu accompanied Chen Zhihua back to the room, and Murong Ling personally took the small wharf to pick up Liu and Lu to board the ship, and the three ladies entered the cabin, tasted osmanthus tea all the way, and sailed to the depths of the rice fragrance adjacent to the soil and mountains.
In the evening, Xia Yuzhi accompanied Chen Rujun back to the house, and Murong Ling held a night banquet in the flower hall.
Xia Yuzhi observed his words and looks, and guessed a few points. He smiled lightly: "We are also a small friendship, Changxuan's character and family background are naturally one in a thousand, and now that he is serving under Lord Wei of the Criminal Department, he can also be independent." He is extremely happy and revengeful, and he is the most person who can't rub sand in his eyes. ”
wanted to mention the old affairs of the royal temple and Wen Wu and the prince of Zhongshun Bofu in the past, and was afraid that Chen Zhihua would chew the root of his tongue with disgust, Xia Yuzhi grinned and said: "He is even more of a smart person, he can't stand the calculations of others, we are together, and we have a very good temper." ”
Murong Ling listened to Xia Yu's words of admiration, and even had the affection for playing with him, his mind became a little more active, and seeing that Chen Yinghua was a little uncomfortable, he smiled and revealed the topic.
Chen Zhihua stayed at her mother's house at night, looked at Murong Ling and gave herself a look, and naturally understood.
The little girl came to the cross verandah in front of the cross-courtyard with a lamp, Chen Zhihua shook her sister's hand with a smile: "Our sisters haven't seen each other for a few days, and I want to talk to my sister about something. ”
During the banquet, the prince was frequently mentioned, Chen Yinghua was more than enough to understand the situation, she was shy, but she couldn't bear to brush off her sister's kindness, and instead took Chen Zhihua's arm and helped her to the old boudoir in Dongnuan Pavilion.
Chen Zhihua ordered someone to make a pot of tangerine peel and green mandarins, and then cut a plate of moon cakes filled with five kernels, and even Qiaozhen sent it out, only the two sisters sat on the rocking chair under the old locust tree in the courtyard and talked heart-to-heart.
The moon is close to mid-autumn, the sky is like practice, the shadow of the pavilion in the distance is faint and faint, and the flower garden on the side is moaning and cutting, as if there is the melodious sound of crickets.
Chen Zhihua gently grabbed her sister's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder. 21010
