Chapter 101: The Beauty Is Coming
Zhenninghou's Mansion and Gu's house are only separated by two streets, that is, a few cars entered Zhenninghou's Mansion, Gu Xiao got out of the car in the gate, and was followed by the little guy next to Zhenninghou, and went to the study.
The car of Mrs. Li and the others continued to walk inside and stopped in the second gate.
Shiqin and Lan Chu helped Gu Yunshan and Li Xiaonuan get out of the car, Gu Yunhuan turned his head and looked around, Mrs. Zhou had already gotten out of the car, and was holding hands with a middle-aged ****, looking at each other with tears in her eyes, Gu Yunhuan hurriedly rushed over, pulling the middle-aged **** and shouting excitedly:
"Uncle Yun Huan misses you to death"
The middle-aged **** was pulled back and forth by Gu Yunhuan, and his tears were also shaken back, and he hurriedly turned around to help Gu Yunhuan, looked up and down and praised:
"Alas, we Yunhuan have grown into big girls, but we are getting better and better."
"My aunt hasn't aged at all in the past few years, but she's getting younger and younger."
Gu Yun was tired of the middle-aged ****, and said happily, and the middle-aged **** laughed loudly.
Li Xiaonuan looked left and right, and together with Zhu Ye, helped Mrs. Li get out of the car, and stood later, Mrs. Li looked at Gu Yunhuan and the middle-aged **** lying coquettishly, her eyes were full of smiles, she turned her head slightly, and Li Xiaonuan whispered:
"That's Mrs. Zhenninghou, the two young daughters-in-law in the back, the one wearing the royal blue jacket is the eldest young grandmother, the other is the second young grandmother, the one wearing the indigo jacket next to her is the **** milk, the one wearing the silver blue jacket is the third grandmother, and the others are either girls or concubines."
Li Xiaonuan listened intently to Mrs. Li's introduction, nodded slowly, and her eyes moved to recognize people.
Mrs. Zhenning Hou took Gu Yunhuan by the hand, took two steps forward, looked at Mrs. Li with a smile, and bowed respectfully.
"The old lady has worked hard all the way, the day the old lady entered Beijing, I was going to visit the old lady, I heard that you were a little tired on the road, so I didn't dare to go over to disturb you, and I have to say goodbye to the old lady until now."
The eldest young grandmother and the second young grandmother, who followed closely behind Mrs. Zhenninghou, were also busy following the respectful bending of their knees, and the **** grandmother and the third grandmother bent their knees slightly, and straightened up with a smile, staring straight at Li Xiaonuan with their eyes, looking up and down presumptuously.
Old Madam Li hurriedly took half a step forward, helped Mrs. Zhenninghou up, and said with a smile:
"Madame is polite, I am old, although I walked slowly along the way, I couldn't stand it, otherwise, I would have come to visit you and Master Hou on the day I entered Beijing."
The two said a few kind words modestly, and Mrs. Zhenninghou turned her head, looked at Li Xiaonuan with surprise in her eyes and asked:
"This is Miss Table?"
"It's her, Xiao Nuan, hurry up and give Mrs. Zhu a salute."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly lifted her skirt slightly, and was about to kneel down, but Mrs. Zhu hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile:
"The ground is dirty, and if you want to kowtow, you have to wait until you enter the house."
Li Xiaonuan smiled shyly, half-lowered his eyes, and bent his knees to make a blessing salute.
Mrs. Zhu held Li Xiaonuan's shoulder, looked up and down a few times with amazement, and then said with emotion:
"Just listening to the play, how good-looking that girl looks, I always think, it's all made up in the play to deceive people, how can this person look like that? Everything is just right, and now I know that there is really such a good-looking girl, and I can't take my eyes off it."
Li Xiaonuan laughed out loud when Mrs. Zhu said it, and Mrs. Zhu only felt that her eyes were as gorgeous as a hundred flowers blooming, and she was a little distracted for a while, and sighed softly:
"No wonder they all say that the beauty is alluring"
Gu Yunhuan pouted, stepped forward and pushed Mrs. Zhu,
"My aunt was eccentric and only praised me for being good-looking, but she praised Xiao Nuan so much"
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Li laughed, Mrs. Zhu laughed again when she said it, patted Gu Yunhuan's shoulder lovingly, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, it's all my aunt's, let's go into the house, and my aunt will drink tea later, moisten her throat, and praise you for a hundred and eighty sentences."
Gu Yunhuan nodded heavily, and said with a smile on his face:
"My aunt's words count, so I'll help my aunt go in quickly."
Everyone laughed, Gu Yunhuan helped Mrs. Zhu, Li Xiaonuan held Mrs. Li, the two gave in and went to the main courtyard together, the eldest young grandmother hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Zhou, and the second young grandmother followed with a smile on her face.
The grandmother and the third grandmother pouted, and then with a smile on their faces, they also followed.
The group entered the main room and sat down on the left and right, Gu Yunhuan's light group bent his knees, even if he had officially met the salute, he was pulled by Mrs. Zhu to sit beside him.
The little girl put a half-old brocade mat on the ground, Li Xiaonuan knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, Mrs. Zhu hurriedly ordered Li Xiaonuan to get up, glanced at the tray held by the girl, and said with a smile:
"This thing is really not worthy of Miss Biao, go, bring the big nanmu box on my dressing table."
Li Xiaonuan was stunned, and looked at Mrs. Li with some uneasiness, Mrs. Li looked at her with a smile, lowered her eyes slightly, and signaled that she was okay.
After a while, the girl came in with a big Nanmu box, Mrs. Zhu opened the box, took out a mutton fat hosta with a large peony flower head with abnormal warmth from it, beckoned Li Xiaonuan to go over, compared it on Li Xiaonuan's head, and said with a smile:
"That's it"
Li Xiaonuan excused himself with some uneasiness:
"This is too precious, Xiao Nuan doesn't dare to accept it"
"No matter how valuable it is, it's just an object, what is it worth? Hold it, I don't have anything better here, don't dislike it. ”
Mrs. Zhu said with a cheerful smile, Li Xiaonuan no longer shirked, took it with both hands, bent her knees and thanked Mrs. Zhu, the little girl had already moved the mat to the **** milk, Li Xiaonuan handed the hairpin to Lan Chu, walked to the mat, knelt down and kowtowed to the **** milk.
She squinted her eyes at Mrs. Zhu hatefully, got up to help Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile on her face:
"Such a fairy-looking girl, who doesn't love it when she sees it? But I'm a poor man, that is, I like nothing, and I can't take out anything valuable."
As he spoke, he took a mottled lapis lazuli bracelet from his hand, stuffed it into Li Xiaonuan's hand, and continued with a smile:
"That's it, Miss Cousin, don't dislike it."
Li Xiaonuan respectfully held the bracelet with both hands, smiled softly and bent his knees to thank him, handed it to Lan Chu, and kowtowed to the third grandmother, and the third grandmother took a gold bracelet from her hand and gave it to Li Xiaonuan.
Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhu talked at length about homely things, and when it was time to eat, the eldest and youngest grandmothers commanded the girl to set up a table in the flower hall, and after the meal, the **** grandmother and the third grandmother made an excuse and quit, Mrs. Zhu waved her hand casually, and sent the two out without raising her eyelids.
Li Xiaonuan sat quietly next to him, listening intently to the three of them talking about the old things of the Zhenning Hou Mansion, the Gu family, and the capital, Gu Yunhuan couldn't sit still, stretched out his hand and pulled Mrs. Lazhu, and said with a smile:
"Uncle, Xiao Nuan and I will go to the back garden to have a look, okay?"
Mrs. Zhu stroked her forehead and laughed,
"Look at it, I'm careless again, didn't I patronize and talk, but forgot that you and Xiao Nuan asked you to listen to us here to talk about these things about Chen sesame and rotten grain, but I can't suffocate you to death, I asked your second sister-in-law to accompany you to the garden for a walk."
The second young grandmother agreed with a smile, Mrs. Zhu thought about it, pulled Gu Yunhuan and explained in a low voice:
"If you run into those girls in the second and third rooms, don't talk to them."
Gu Yunhuan smiled and nodded in agreement,
"Don't worry, aunt, I'm too lazy to pay attention to them."
Mrs. Zhu nodded with satisfaction, called the two old mothers-in-law to follow, and ordered the second young grandmother to accompany the two out.
The three of them walked around the garden for a while, a little tired, the second young grandmother accompanied the two to their own yard to rest, Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan teased the second young grandmother's son who had just turned one year old and played for more than an hour, before getting up and going back to the main courtyard.
At the beginning of Shen, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Zhu, and Mrs. Zhu led the two young grandmothers and the second young grandmother to send Mrs. Li and others to the second gate to take the car.
In the courtyard north of the Hou Mansion, a young man in green clothes and blue hats rushed into the courtyard, turned into the wing room in the front yard, and whispered in a panting voice:
"Came out, came out"
Zhou Jianning, the second eldest son and third young master of the Hou Mansion of Zhenning, was half-lying on the couch, biting the dried meat in his mouth, his legs resting on the couch, looking at the album with a sway, listening to the report, he sat up all of a sudden, and the little servant hurriedly knelt on the ground to put on his shoes, Zhou Jianning pouted and asked:
"Is it really that pretty?"
"Back to my grandfather, the little one listened to what the cuihong girl next to my grandmother said, saying that the lady was stunned, and what else did she say about the country and the city, cuihong said, it is a hundred times better than the beauty in the master's book, a thousand times"
"Nonsense, a thousand times better than the beauties in the master's book? Isn't that a fairy going down to earth? ”
Zhou Jianning stretched out his hand and patted the little guy's head and scolded, the little guy dodged, and said with a grin:
"If you go and take a look, you just won't know it, it's just not that good-looking, it's not a beauty anyway, besides, can't you still look at the second lady of the Gu family."
"That's right, I haven't seen you for several years, the little beauty should grow into a big beauty and leave quickly"
Zhou Jianning got up, jumped up, reached out and grabbed a folding fan, took the little guy, and ran to the second gate of the front yard with a smoke.
The two of them walked along the verandah, and after arriving at the hugging house not far from the second gate, they were familiar with the narrow staircase that the people walked behind, and arrived in the attic above the hugging building, pushed open the attic window, and looked into the second gate.
On the road leading to the main courtyard, Mrs. Zhu accompanied Mrs. Li and her party, walking while talking, and slowly walked over.
Zhou Jianning's eyes widened, looking at Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan, who were following behind, talking to the eldest young grandmother and the second young grandmother, and saliva flowed out.
"That little one, little one, is that beauty? The little beauty is not a hundredfold, a thousand, it is ten thousand, ten thousand"
The following words are not included in the charge:
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. In other words, in our Chinese festivals, Xiaoxian's favorite is the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Lantern Festival, one is a family together, happy to eat, look at the moon, family affection is priceless; One is that there are thousands of flowers everywhere, when the mood of young boys and girls is the most budding, the hazy love is not love, the most beautiful
It's a pity that our little warm and comfortable days will be gone for a while
