Wei Wan looked at it with joy, but Mrs. Zhuang asked Zhang's mother to ask; "Where does Wan Niang live? The people and things brought by Wan Niang have been arranged and taken care of? ”

Zhang's mother said with a smile: "Wan Niang lives in the east room, and the west room is two rooms, one room is arranged for the big girls to live, and the other room is a warehouse." The two little guys have already been sent to see Mr. Lin and asked Mr. Lin to help arrange things. ”

Mrs. Zhuang nodded slightly, and said: "Let Lin An keep some snacks, and deliberately mention those two little guys, sooner or later they will marry into her husband's family with Huanniang, if they can't take charge alone, Wanniang will have a hard time." Bring the three girls to me. ”

Pan Zi and Tao Hongben were packing up and arranging things in the house, and when they saw Mrs. Zhuang and Weihuan coming, they were under the porch early, and when they heard that Mrs. Zhuang wanted to see them, they didn't wait for Mother Zhang to call, so Pan Zi brought someone over, and knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Zhuang when she walked in front of Mrs. Zhuang.

Mrs. Zhuang then called, "Get up, and raise your heads." ”

The three looked up. Mrs. Zhuang saw that among the three girls, the eldest was sixteen or seventeen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her body was thicker than that of ordinary women, and she looked a kind of blatant beauty. The other was fourteen or five years old, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and an ordinary appearance. The youngest looked only seven or eight years old, with snowy skin and peach cheeks, apricot eyes and curved eyebrows, although he was small, he also saw that he would be a beauty when he grew up.

Mrs. Zhuang frowned slightly: "Except for this little one who can't do things, there are only two people available." Where's that? Transfer the big girl Cui Xi and the second girl Bi Huan in my house. Pick four more mothers-in-law and a few rough girls who are responsible for cleaning. Let the mother-in-law and the girls live in the wing. ”

Zhang's mother responded with a smile.

Mrs. Zhuang waved his hand to let Pan Zi and the others retreat, beckoned Wei Huan, and said with a smile: "Is this residence still satisfied?" ”

Wei Wan ran over to hug Mrs. Zhuang with a smile, and said with a smile: "There is nothing more to my daughter's heart!" Mother, you are so good. ”

Although Mrs. Zhuang has three daughters under her knees, they are all concubines, and they are more than respectful when they see her, and they are not affectionate enough, even Han Xiao, but they are just more affectionate in words, where is it like Weihuan to hug and hug her so affectionately, without any estrangement?

At that moment, his heart was full of joy, and he deliberately laughed and scolded: "How old are they!" It's so undignified! ”

Weiwan naturally hugged Zhuangfu's arm and said coquettishly: "In front of her mother, her daughter will always be a child, who will show her solemnity!" ”

Mrs. Zhuang smiled and clapped her hands.

While the two of them were talking, the girl in Mrs. Zhuang's house came over and said, "Madam, Hou Ye and Shizi are back, and they have already arrived at the second gate, and I think they are about to arrive at Dicui Hall." ”

Mrs. Zhuang smiled and took Weihuan's hand and said, "Go, go and meet your father and brother." ”

Weiwan helped Mrs. Zhuang, and the two of them did not sit down, surrounded by the girls and mothers-in-law, and walked back to Mrs. Zhuang's residence, Dicuitang, on the tree-lined road.

As soon as I entered the courtyard of Dicui Hall, I heard the sound of boots stomping on the ground in the house, sonorous and steady. In an instant, two men, one tall and one short, stood on the verandah.

The two men were in their forties, with thick eyebrows and long eyes, straight nose and red lips, black hair under their chins, and square faces that looked dignified. He wears a crimson veil on his head, a dark blue arrow coat, a wide leather belt around his waist, and a cloud swallower's boots on his pointed head. It looks majestic.

The other was a boy, only about ten years old, but he was already about to catch up with the height of an adult man, wearing a butterfly and arrow coat with big red narrow sleeves and hundred flowers, a black belt inlaid with jade at the waist, a white jade and gold crown with colorful butterflies and flowers on his head, and small leather boots of the moire beast on his feet; That face, that figure, looked like the adult man next to him when he was a child, very beautiful and majestic.

As soon as the boy saw his mother, he cried out, "Mother! The child shot a lot of pheasants this time, let them clean up, and wait for us to make flower chickens to eat! When he saw Wei Wan in a blink of an eye, he was immediately stunned and speechless.

The man looked at his wife and Weiwan, put his hands behind his back, and smiled slightly.

Wei Wan looked at Evian, who just looked at the man and smiled proudly.

Wei Wan had already guessed that the man was her uncle, waiting for Zhuang Wei. The boy doesn't have to think about it, he must be the son of the world.

She took a few steps forward, and on the verandah, Zhuang Wei's front knelt upright, and said softly: "Weihuan has seen her father and kowtowed to her father." "Seriously kowtow three heads.

Zhuang Duan smiled, accepted the courtesy of Wei Huan, and when she finished knocking, he bent down to help her up, and said with a smile: "My daughter has suffered some bumps along the way, right?" ”

"It is a sin for a father and mother to think about their daughters." Wei Wan said, looked at the boy again, and said with a smile: "Is this the younger brother?" ”

Zhuang Duanzheng looked at her in a daze, and when he saw her ask, he said recklessly: "Don't call me Duan'er." My name is Zhuang Duan. Don't call me brother, you're not my sister. ”

The smile on Evianji's face disappeared and she said sternly. "Duan'er!"

Even Zhuang Wei sank his face and said, "Duan'er, apologize to my sister quickly." ”

"I don't!" Zhuang Duan's neck was stalked, and his face was full of disbelief, "I won't admit that she is my sister!" ”

As he spoke, he didn't care about everyone, and strode to the back hall.

"This living Hades!" Evian Ji's hands trembled with anger, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that Zhuang Wei didn't mean to catch up with her son and punish him severely, so she sent out her anger at him: "It's all what you're used to!" ”

Zhuang Wei didn't speak yet, but Wan hurriedly said: "Mother, don't be angry, I think Brother Duan must be recognized, and it will be fine after a while." ”

Evian Ji said angrily: "This evil obstacle! Wan Niang, you don't know anything. This child has had a strange temper since he was a child, stubborn and disobedient, does not like to read, and likes to dance with knives and guns! You have to hunt at every turn, and this is not the hunting back! If it weren't for the waiting master, I would have discounted his leg a long time ago! ”

"Madame, don't be angry." Zhuang Duan said in a low voice, "Wan Niang, Duan'er is not unwelcome to you, he heard that you arrived home last night, and he specially caught a rabbit for you overnight, set a yellow bird, and said that he wanted to give it to his sister to play...... Who knows what kind of magic will arise at this hour! ”

"Father doesn't have to worry, and Lou'er won't be angry." Wei Wan smiled with a big face, but her heart was uneasy, Houfu's only son, sister-in-law, and the son of the world, did not welcome her, this is not a happy beginning.

When Evian Ji heard this, she was even more angry, and chased after the inner hall unrelentingly, and she didn't know what the two of them said, so she heard Zhuang Duan roaring: "I just don't want her to be a sister!" ”

Weihuan and Zhuang Wei pretended not to hear, Zhuang Wei asked some about what Weiwan saw on the road, and Weihuan also answered quietly. After a while, I saw Evianji walking out in a huff, still carrying a duster with peacock feathers in her hand.

Wei Wan hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Evian Ji let out a long sigh and said, "Just stay away from him in the future." This obstacle will soon move out. ”

I heard a bang in the inner room, and I don't know what I was pushed down and fell to the ground, and then Zhuang Duan yelled: "I don't want to move out to live!" I'm going to live where I am! ”

was so angry that Evian Ji was going to fight again, but Zhuang Wei hurriedly persuaded Zhuang Wei to hug his wife tightly and coaxed: "Madam...... Yun'er, don't be angry......"

That Zhuang Duan has ignored Wei Wan since then. But he is not embarrassed by malice. They met every day in Mrs. Zhuang's house, but Wei Wan occasionally found him secretly watching her, and when she went to see him, he hurriedly removed his eyes, put on a small face, and pretended to be nothing. A few days later, Zhuang Duan asked the girl to send a bird cage with a yellow bird and a rabbit cage with a snow-white jade rabbit.

The cage is particularly delicately woven, the bird cage is made of thin bamboo into a butterfly shape, but the rabbit cage is a mountain shape, all painted with white lacquer, clean and beautiful.

Rui Ying, who came to the door, saw it, and said sourly: "This is a cage made by Brother Duan'er himself." We have always loved something, asked him if he wanted it, and he said with a straight face, 'Am I making cages?', and he sent us away with one sentence! What trick did Wan Niang use to coax him to make such a big birdcage for you? ”

It was actually hand-made by Zhuang Duan. It seems to be an apology to her in disguise.

When she saw Zhuang Duan again at Mrs. Zhuang's place, Wei Wan thanked him with a smile.

Zhuang Duan's neck twisted, and he didn't look at Wei Huan, as if he was angry with someone: "Long-winded...... It's just a broken cage ......."

Mrs. Zhuang heard this, and said angrily: "I'll make you a rude little evil!" Did you talk to your sister like that......"

Weiwan hurriedly helped Mrs. Zhuang, looked at a post she held in her hand, and said, "Mother, where did this post come from?" ”

Mrs. Zhuang was really diverted, handed the sticker in her hand to Wei Huan, and said, "It's an invitation from the Qingping Palace." Every year on the Daughter's Day of the Qingping Palace, a flower party is held, and young daughters and ladies in the capital are invited to participate. To put it bluntly, it is a conference that provides an occasion for unmarried girls and sons to look at each other. Wei Wan is also sixteen, and this time she must choose a good husband with her heart. ”

Mother Zhang said with a smile: "In previous years, the flower party was the two beautiful flowers of the Wanhua County Lord and the Zhaohua County Lord of the Qingping Palace, and the princess couldn't close her mouth with a smile. This year, I see that Madame can't stop smiling. As he spoke, he looked at Wei Wan with a smile.

Wei Wan was blushing when she looked at her. accosted Mrs. Zhuang tea and avoided the eyes of Zhang's mother and Mrs. Zhuang.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door, and it turned out to be Zhuang Duan's angry out.

Mrs. Zhuang remembered Zhuang Duan's unsteady demeanor again, and scolded: "...... Let his father beat him up with a good stick......"

For the upcoming flower party, Wei Wan is curious and uneasy.

She had never been to such a grand party, and it must have been very lively and beautiful. I wonder if I'll see Dongfang Yi there...... I will definitely see it, that is, it is the flower party held by the Qingping Palace, and the Dingguo family intends to hire the lord of Wanhua as his wife, on such an occasion, how can there be no reason not to come?

Thinking about it this way, Wei Wan hoped that the day of the flower meeting would come soon, so that she could see Dongfang Yi. I'm afraid that day will come soon, and when the time comes, I will hear the news that Dongfang Yi and Princess Wanhua are engaged......

Pan Zi saw that she was uneasy, so she teased her to see the new dress sent by Mrs. Zhuang: "Lady, look at this skirt, it is embroidered with pearls." ”

It was a pomegranate skirt, with a bright red skirt and delicate flowers embroidered with gold and silver thread, and the edges and stamens of the petals were embroidered with pearls, which was beautiful and luxurious. Mrs. Zhuang specially asked people to rush to the flower party for her to participate in the flower party.

How beautiful and luxurious it is? She is not really the concubine of the Houfu, but I am afraid that in the eyes of those big families, how can she not know how to come...... The Guogong Mansion wouldn't want such a girl to be a daughter-in-law, right...... How good would it be if Dongfang Yi wasn't the son of a big family......

Pan Zi saw that Weiwan looked depressed, thinking that she didn't like this dress, so she picked up another concubine-colored shirt: "This one is good...... I heard that because of the clothes, Rui Ying lost her temper. ”

Wei Wan was surprised: "Why do you lose your temper? ”

Pan Zi said: "I heard that it was because she wanted this pearl pomegranate dress, and Mrs. said that her skin color was not worthy of this skirt, so she made a snow blue ...... When she got back to the house, she lost her temper and threw all her newly made clothes on the floor......"

Weiwan interrupted her and said solemnly: "I am not the daughter of Houfu, I came, it is equivalent to robbing Rui Niang's status, I can't live with her, you act and talk outside, you must let them in the house, what clothes and jewelry have to wait for the people in Rui Niang's house to pick, you go and pick again, you know?" ”

Pan Zidao: "...... Got it. That pomegranate skirt ......"

"Mother already knows about this skirt, so forget it." After Wei Wan finished speaking, she saw that Pan Zi was very aggrieved, and suddenly remembered that she was not a person who played right and wrong, what happened today?

Looking at the worry hidden in Pan Zi's eyes, Weihuan suddenly understood that she was telling herself that she had Mrs. Zhuang's love and reassured her.

How obvious are your worries? Even Pan Zi was worried about her...... Wei Wan was embarrassed, so she stepped forward with a smile and discussed with Pan Zi what to wear on the day of the flower party.
