Chapter 22 Decisions
On a winter afternoon, the sun hangs lazily in the sky, and there is no cold wind in the corners and under the walls, and from time to time I see some beggars in clothes squinting their eyes, enjoying the warmth of nature. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the mouth of a small alley in a busy street, a little girl dressed as a maid was talking to a beggar.
"Today, Miss went to the plum banquet in King Zhan's Mansion, and at noon, Mother Rong was taken back to the house by Mother Ding."
"I know, but what they are calculating is Miss's marriage. You take this back to Miss, the two seals cost eighteen taels of silver, and there are two taels left, you can take it and go back.
I'm not here these days, just at the mouth of the old alley not far from the house, and you can find me wherever you have something. ”
Qiu Man nodded, took the things in his brother's hand and went home.
Zhen Zhen stared for a while and then got up, pretending to be in her heart and couldn't sleep well.
Looking at today's situation, in a few days, your own affairs will be settled, as long as your family affairs are decided, you have to find a way to go to your grandfather's house for a few days, and plan the shop that you are going to open in the future.
Tomorrow, I have to draw two paintings first, and try it when I get it to Yun Moxuan, as long as one is worth five thousand taels of silver, then I will have a score in my heart.
Zhen Zhen lay on the couch, thinking about what she had to do in the past few days.
"Is Miss awake?" Mother Rong's voice came from outside.
"Not yet, in the end, it hurts the body, it's not good yet, Miss still needs to take care of it." Qiu Jin's voice was a little low, with a hint of sadness.
Then the voices of several people were far away, probably to the side of the ear room.
Zhen Zhen couldn't sleep either, she got up slowly, the movement spread outside, and Qiu Yan entered the East Pavilion.
"Qiu Man didn't come back." Vera asked, putting on her shoes.
"I'm back, and I've brought things back." After Qiu Yan finished speaking, she walked to the door and called Qiu Man in.
Qiu Man handed a small cloth bag to Zhen Zhen, then told her brother what she had said, and bowed to leave.
Zhen Zhen sat on the edge of the couch and opened the cloth bag, which contained two seals, one large and one small, and two pieces of broken silver.
Looking at the name on the seal, Zhen Zhen's heart began to feel a little uncomfortable again. Alas, I don't want to, if I want to live well in this era, I must forget all the things before, otherwise I will torture myself to death.
In the Xinuan Pavilion of the old lady of the Dingguo Mansion, the Duchess of Dingguo, Xu, sat at the bottom of the old lady, listening to Jingjing giggling about the things at the plum banquet.
Outside, Mama Yao opened the curtain and came in, looked at Miss Jingjing, and stopped talking.
Jingjing hugged the old lady's arm very obediently, "Grandmother, mother, Jingjing wants to go back and write down the poem sent by the fairy sister." ”
Jingjing came out of the warm pavilion, and the old lady motioned for Mama Yao to speak.
"Old lady, ma'am. The third lady of the Marquis of Changning ...... "Mama Yao told the rumors of the third lady outside, and then told the third lady who heard how she quit her relatives and what happened after she retreated.
After hearing this, the old lady's face was covered with a layer of haze, and he looked at Xu Shi and sighed, "The dignified Changning Marquis Mansion can actually do such a despicable thing, it really has to look down on these people?" ”
"Mother, if it weren't for Xiao'er's matter, it is estimated that the third lady would have ......" Xu said and couldn't help but shudder in his heart, the old lady of the Marquis of Changning and the heart of the Xiaobai family were really vicious enough, and they actually treated the children of the former lady like this.
"Hmm." The old lady naturally understood the trick, and felt distressed for the third lady.
"That third lady is really a wonderful person!" The old lady thought of something and laughed.
Mama Yao looked at the old lady with some puzzlement, and then looked at Xu who was also smiling,
"Hehe, Mama doesn't know, right? Today, at the plum banquet, ...... "The old lady told Jingjing about the fairy sister.
"In this way, the third lady is not only not as rumored, but also a very intelligent person who knows how to hide." Mama Yao suddenly felt that the third young lady was as incomprehensible as a fan.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, no matter what, since we think this girl is good, let's settle things quickly.
You will come to the door tomorrow in person and settle the matter as soon as possible, my wife can't wait to marry such a wonderful person into the house. ”
"Mother, is this good" Since ancient times, the door-to-door marriage proposal has been through matchmakers, and what a lot of face it is for the Marquis of Changning to go in person.
"It doesn't matter, since the Marquis of Changning Mansion treats a piece of beautiful jade as a stone, we don't mind making a face for this third lady, and the person in the province will treat this girl slowly.
You go tomorrow, knock those people appropriately, before getting married, I don't want anything wrong with the third lady. ”
Xu felt that the old lady had lifted the Marquis of Changning a little, but he still felt that it was acceptable to make a face for his future daughter-in-law.
"Then the daughter-in-law will go tomorrow, do you want to meet this third lady?" Generally, the man wants to see his daughter-in-law.
"No, Mama Yao, tell me to go down, and listen carefully to the behavior of the third lady in the future.
We have taken a fancy to others, but the little girl doesn't know that she is going to marry the notorious gentleman in the capital. ”
"Mother, how can you hurt your grandson like this." Xu looked at the old lady with some anger and said angrily.
"Hehe, it's all rumors outside. What will this third lady do when she finds out that she is married to a non-person? The old lady was looking forward to it.
"Mother, when you say this, your daughter-in-law is a little worried, what if that person can't think of it?" After all, his son's reputation outside is really a bit ...... And there is a so-called illegitimate child in the house.
"Hmph, it's fate, if the third lady really can't think about it, we can only accept fate.
If the third lady marries for any reason, we will love that child more, and it will not be in vain for someone to jump into the fire pit. ”
"Old lady, how can you say that our mansion is a fire pit?" Mama Yao also disagreed with what the old lady said.
"Alas, we all know what we know, so why bother to deceive ourselves?" The old lady can be said to have taken great pains for her most beloved grandson.
Xu and Mama Yao stopped talking, and the fourth master of his own family was really ......
Jingjing took Doudou and Diandian two girls to prepare for her own yard, and saw the fourth brother Baili Xiao wearing a red shirt from a distance.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother." If you want to say that the closest thing to Baili Xiao in the house is the twin sister who married King Rui, that is his sister who has been raised under the name of the Xu family since childhood.
"Xiao Jingjing, ingots fell from the sky? So happy. "Baili Xiao is funny.
Jingjing has long been accustomed to her brother's teasing, and she is not in a hurry, "Fourth brother, there are no ingots in the sky, but today a fairy sister fell from the sky." ”
After Jingjing finished speaking, she stepped forward and took Baili Xiao's hand, "Fourth brother, you come with Jingjing." ”
Regardless of whether Baili Xiao was willing or not, he went to his yard with it.
When she arrived at Jingjing's small study, Jingjing asked her to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, "Fourth brother, the fairy sister sent two poems to Jingjing, you can help me write them down." ”
Jingjing is one of the few people who knows Baili Xiao's secret, "You are so calculating, you just deceived your brother's calligraphy and painting." ”
Baili Xiao shook his head, but still picked up the pen and prepared to get up.
"Outside the broken bridge, lonely open ownerless......" Jingjing finished reading, Baili Xiao also finished writing, and then read it carefully a few times.
"Wonderful, this is a fairy sister who gave it to you?" When did there become a talented woman in the capital? It's not something that just anyone can write about, so why don't you know?
"Sister Fairy said that this poem is not good, she is a little pessimistic, and she sent one." Jingjing asked Baili Xiao to get ready, and read the second song again.
"The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring. It is already a cliff with a hundred feet of ice, and there are still flowers and branches.
Pretty doesn't compete for spring, only reports spring. When the mountains were full of flowers, she laughed in the bushes. ”
"Wonderful, the mood of this poem is wonderful." Baili Xiao read it several times.
"Xiao Jingjing, this poem will be lent to the fourth brother for a few days temporarily, and the fourth brother will give you a better pair."
This poem must be seen by that old thing.
Of course, Jingjing won't be stingy with her own things, but she still pretended to be unhappy and pouted, "Does the fourth brother count?" ”
"You little girl," Baili Xiao nodded Jingjing's little nose, "and play with the fourth brother." ”
Baili Xiao waited for the words to dry, and took it directly.
Originally, Baili Xiao was not ready to go back to the house at this time, but the old lady strictly ordered Bai Li Xiao to come back.
Baili Xiao handed the calligraphy and painting in his hand to his little servant Qingfeng, and took Qingyue directly to the old lady's courtyard.
"Grandmother, mother. It is best to let the child come back, otherwise the child will not be able to please the beauty, and your second elder will be responsible. ”
Baili Xiao saluted the old lady and the Xu family, and his butt was crooked on the chair.
"What do you look like?" Xu shouted angrily.
The old lady waved his hand, he knew best what his grandson was like, if he could listen to these words, he would have broken this gentleman back a long time ago.
"Xiao'er, you're not too young, your grandmother and mother showed you a family affair, you should stop during this time, don't scare other girls away."
didn't ask Baili Xiao if he was willing, just let him stop for a while.
Baili Xiao stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "Grandmother, what kind of daughter-in-law did you and your mother find for your grandson?" Don't be a lady who can't hold back a fart for a long time. ”
Xu was angry, "With your virtue, if someone marries you, you will steal the fun in the middle of the night, and pick others." ”
"Mother, I don't want to hear what you say, what's wrong with the child, first, he didn't kill people and set fires, and second, he didn't block the road and rob. How can you say that the child is like a heinous villain? ”
After Baili Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the old lady, "No matter, anyway, the daughter-in-law you find for the child must be a beauty, and if you are not a beauty, the child must find a way to return the person." ”
Listen, what are these words!
