Section 36 Zonghengkan
In a blink of an eye, I saw the old lady, the eldest lady, Ling Shang and Ai Ning enter the door with a smile.
Xinliu and the other three hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and she was already supported by the eldest lady as soon as she bowed slightly, "You are so blessed, you can still have children at this age, you have to pay attention, it is only right to worry less about and recuperate more......"
Xinliu nodded yes, and the old lady smiled and said, "I wanted to come to see you a few days ago, but the weather is not good, and people are lazy...... Today, when I see that the sun is so good and lukewarm, I will call your sister-in-law and brother and daughter-in-law to come and have fun together, and besides, we haven't been together for a long time! ”
"The third aunt looks so good" It was Ling Shang who said this, it turned out that he had stopped Xu Shen's detoxification decoction, and he had recovered well for more than three months, and now he was already taking recuperation medicine, so he was looking forward to hugging a little young master as soon as possible.
The maids and servants were busy setting up their seats, and finally settled a few people to sit down.
The old lady smiled and said, "Shuxia, quickly take out the things and show them to Xinliu"
The two little girls who came up were a pair of twins, both with the same small round faces, one red and one blue, each wearing bright clothes, one was called Hongyun holding a few thin quilts and pillows, and the other was called Lan Xin holding a red satin brocade box.
"This is a quilt and pillow made of cloud silk cotton, which is light, soft and breathable, as if it is covered with clouds! There are two sets here, one large and one small, the big one you use, and the small one will be left to our eleventh young master of Guo Mansion! ”
After speaking, he beckoned the little girl to come up, opened the brocade box, but it was a very exquisite Hetian jade hanging chain flat pot, the chain and the spout of the body were connected as a whole, it was a whole piece of seed carved with sprinkled gold skin, the chain was a live ring, and it was hung on a mahogany shelf, the length was just right, the carcass of the pot was light and thin, exquisite, and the texture on the fingers could almost be seen.
Xinliu hurriedly thanked him, but the old lady only said that she didn't need to thank her.
"This jade pot should be put away first, it can be seen that the old lady is partial to the little daughter-in-law!" The eldest lady said angrily. The old lady smiled: "Don't be jealous first, when Ai Ning is pregnant with a child in the future, I have a better one!" ”
The eldest lady smiled: "Our things are not as good as the old lady's, no matter how bad it is, we have to see it."
"There are three pearls here, although they are not big, they are rare to be round, and they are all the same purple, it is good to keep a necklace and inlaid crown, these ten boxes of blood swallows are also brought by the Nanyang merchant ships, remember to call the girl to stew and drink every day, don't put it away, put it and forget it, it will inevitably waste my heart and your eldest brother's heart!" Shinyanagi hurriedly thanked him.
"Third aunt, Ling Shang and I don't have any good things here to honor you, only this double-sided Su embroidery screen can be handled!" Ai Ning smiled, and the two little servants carefully carried an embroidered screen on a mahogany shelf and placed it lightly on the table.
"This side is the golden rooster Chaoyang, this side is the peony double butterfly, see which side is vivid and clear, are embroidered on such a thin silk, this is real kung fu! Auntie put it in the hall, and it's fun to watch it every day, isn't it......"
Everyone came forward to take a closer look, Ling Han looked the most carefully, her female celebrity was the best among the sisters, but after reading this, I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
At this time, Wu's mother came and said: "Old lady, wife, grandma, you must stay here at noon today to eat, I have all prepared, the old lady's favorite three-steamed chicken, the freshly slaughtered chicks, today's soup also put the finger-thin tender bamboo shoots that have just been picked, the old sauce roasted mandarin fish and thousands of buns that the big lady likes, and the pigeon breast stewed cabbage heart that the grandmother likes, the beef stuffed dumplings, as for Uncle Shang's light mouth, he gave you a special mix of mung bean sprouts and carrot shreds, and the black glutinous rice vinegar specially made by Master Lingqi, Not to mention how refreshing it is! There are also fried wolfberry heads and fish ball soup that Miss Linghan likes! ”
The old lady said: "Listening to her, I'm so hungry that I'm drooling!" When I arrived in your house, I will eat you, and I can't drive you away! I've eaten well, I'll be back tomorrow! Everyone laughed......
After the meal, the ladies drank fragrant tea and began to chatter.
The eldest lady asked Xinliu: "I see that you don't eat much today, but you are very happy?" ”
"It's getting lighter, and it was only so powerful half a month ago that I can't eat anything," Shinyanagi said
"But, I see you've lost weight......"
"Grandma, my little brother hasn't been born yet, and I've already chosen a name for him," Ling Tong said next to Ai Ning.
"Oh? What's that called? If you get up well, it's up to you, but if it's not good, you have to change! ”
"It's called Lingdong, and the nickname is called Dong'er"
Everyone touched it for a while, and they all felt that although it was simple, it was indeed a good name.
"Well, I think it's okay, next time you go and tell grandpa, he agrees to write it into the family tree......"
"Speaking of which, these children in your Dongfu are all good! A few days ago, I heard Tan Tu say that Ling Fang went to the Zongheng Pavilion where Lao Shangshu was there to participate in the ......" The old lady looked at Linzi.
Linzi reminded her in a low voice: "The art of war eloquence!" ”
"The Art of War Eloquence! A room full of young people debated for five or six hours, and in the end, it was we who won the first place! Everybody says he's not! Lao Shangshu loves something like that, so he made an exception to accept the order to enter the museum, and in the future, we will order the party to be a majestic general! ”
Xinliu smiled: "Don't say that, this is just the beginning of learning, say it and make people laugh!" ”
This old Shangshu is talking about Shen Jiutang, who was originally a secretary of the Ministry of War, who made great contributions to the imperial court, he has an upright and selfless temperament, and loves to bring the younger generations to his descendants, and opened a special study of the art of war in the capital, called the Zongheng Pavilion, so that Fang loves the art of war, and actually participated in the eloquent meeting held at the beginning of this month and became famous in one fell swoop.
"Ling Fang is not small now, I originally said to find him a good daughter-in-law, but who knew that he just refused, saying that he had to make something to start a family! Grandma turned around and helped me talk about him, he has a strong temperament! ”
"Well, there's no need to rush, it's natural when the time comes," the old lady said.
"My sister-in-law's candidate is ready-made!" Ling Tong said
"Huh? Who is it? Shinyanagi couldn't help but wonder.
"It's the second princess in the palace, Sister Jiying!"
The old lady laughed: "But nonsense! Is it up to you as a child to decide the princess's marriage? Don't talk about it......"
"Look at the Lingfang, and then look at the Lingzi of Naxi Mansion, but it's ...... Alas"
The eldest lady frowned and said, "I went to the second brother's place last night, just in time for Ling Zi to come down from the main hall with his face covered and bluff me!" From the back to the shoulders, such a long cut! ”
Seeing that everyone was shocked, she hurriedly said: "There is also such a long one on her face, but it is whipped by a whip!" ”
Ling Tong and Ling Han all covered their mouths and widened their eyes.
"As soon as I asked the second brother, I found out that Zhou Luyuan in the house of Ling Zi and the second brother and sister, is the third young master of the Zhou family, who is spoiled like something, and he started to work for a girl with a bit of grace, and Ling Zi injured Lu Yuan, this Lu Yuan was dissatisfied and sued the second brother directly, and the second brother was naturally furious, so he whipped him a few times, and when I went, the righteous liver hurt!"
I persuaded him a few words and hurried away, I have to be angry if this happens! Isn't that a hundred times better than that! ”
The elders were chattering, but Ling Tong looked at Ling Han, she sat sneering and didn't interject, Ling Tong gave her a tangerine, she took it, the sisters looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt that their minds were the same.
