A few days later, the carriage of Cangtong Town entered Qingshui Town, and Sanniang came back!

Xia Chenghe and Luo got the news two hours in the morning, mobilized a courtyard of people to take care of the yard, and tidied up the room second only to their couple's bedroom for the young couple.

I also heard that Sheng Zidu brought a lot of servants into Beijing, and he was busy sorting out all the empty rooms in the front yard, discussing with Zhou and Master Fan what to cook, and tossing until the carriage was only three alleys away from Yanghuai Hutong.

At noon, the Sheng family carriage entered Yanghuai Hutong.

Xia Chenghe and Luo sat in the hall, fidgeting with Erniang when they returned to the door.

Xia Chengxiang and the Li couple were no longer surprised, and they didn't pay attention to Xia Chenghe and Luo's muttering, and looked at each other and smiled.

Until Wanbao came loudly, "The third aunt and the third aunt have arrived!" ”

Banniang pulled Eleven Niang out to listen to Hexuan, and saw Sheng Zidu talking to Sanniang, his eyebrows were clear and gentle, and he was gentle and elegant, Sanniang looked at Sheng Zidu with admiration, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

Sheng Zidu's eyes flashed with doting light, and he reached out and shook Sanniang's hand.

Sanniang's face turned red at a speed visible to her eyes.

Eleven Niang even heard Sheng Zidu's low laughter, "You like me so much, huh?" ”

"What did Xianggong say?" Sanniang didn't seem to hear Sheng Zidu's words, she looked up a little blankly, and saw the smile on Sheng Zidu's face, and her big eyes were like a helpless deer.

Sheng Zidu's laughter changed from low to hearty, he reached out to hold Sanniang's hand, and angrily pouted in the direction of Tinghe Xuan, "I said that your sister came to pick you up." ”

Sanniang looked sideways, and when she found Banniang and Eleven Niang, she let out a soft sigh, and her hand broke free from Sheng Zidu's hand like lightning, and Sheng Zidu laughed loudly.

Sanniang glared at Sheng Zidu angrily, and walked up a few steps, "Eight Niang, Eleven Niang, you are here, ......"

Banniang rolled her eyes and purred twice, and looked at Sheng Zidu to look at Sanniang, and after a few times, Sanniang's face became more and more red, "Dad, mother?" ”

Sheng Zidu regained his gentle and elegant appearance as a scholar, and saluted the two, "Eighth sister, eleventh sister." ”

Banniang opened her mouth to say something, but was pulled by Eleven Niang, took her skirt and returned the salute, "Third brother-in-law." ”

Banniang returned the salute with Eleventh Niang's skirt and opened her mouth to call someone, "Third brother-in-law." ”

When Sanniang and Sheng Zi both knelt down to worship Xia Chenghe and Luo, Sheng Zi changed his words, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law." ”

The two sides spoke separately, Xia Chenghe and Xia Chengxiang accompanied them in the living room, and Luo and Li pulled Sanniang to the bedroom.

Banniang and Eleven Niang followed all the way, and they couldn't say a few words to Sanniang, so they were sent to the kitchen by Luo for a reason to watch the dishes.

Banniang muttered, "The second sister came and kicked us out, and the third sister came and kicked us out, I haven't seen the third sister for a long time, and I don't know if the third brother-in-law is good to her......"

Eleven Niang smiled and pulled her to the kitchen.

In the middle, Luo pulled his daughter to look up and down, a set of pomegranate with many sons and many blessings, a summer dress cut with a pomegranate pattern embroidered with red and silver thread, a skirt of the same color, and soft silk shoes embroidered with pomegranates.

When Luo added jewelry for his two daughters in the later period, he saw a lot of valuable things, Sanniang's body, she roughly estimated that she couldn't take it down without a thousand taels of silver!

Look at Sanniang's face again, her cheeks are ruddy, her eyes are tender like water, and her delicate figure has also experienced personnel.

Sanniang couldn't raise her head when she was looked at by Luo, and called softly, "Niang......"

The voice seemed to be coquettish, and Luo smiled and pulled his daughter to sit down, "Is my uncle good to you?" Are your parents-in-law good to you? ...... in his house"

"Good, all good! My father-in-law treats me well, and my father-in-law treats me well. My sister-in-law and uncle are both obedient and sensible children, as lovely as Little Twelve, mother, I'm very ......good" Sanniang knew Luo's worries, no matter how big or small, she told Luo's one by one.

Roche's uneasy heart slowly melted, and he smiled from time to time, "Really? Your sister-in-law also said that she wanted to come and learn embroidery with Little Twelve? Your brother-in-law wants to learn martial arts from Banniang......"

The mother and daughter said something half-loud, and Roche's heart finally fell to the ground.

talked to his daughter about Xia Chengping again.

"Your uncle's errand is decided, go to your Cangtong Town as a county magistrate, if they don't come to the door, you will do your best to meet them, if they ask you for money, help, etc., you let them come to me and your father, you must not go behind your father-in-law and mother-in-law to promise them one or two! You know? ”

Sanniang smiled, "Mother, my husband and I will go back to the door this time and stay at home for a few days; The second is ......" her face flushed and lowered her head, "It was my father-in-law and mother-in-law who agreed to let me go to Beijing with my father-in-law and serve my father-in-law's daily life......"

Luo sighed and went to see the Li family, and the Li family was also a little stunned.

There is no reason for the eldest daughter-in-law to leave the hospital with her father-in-law and leave her father-in-law at home!

Roche was a little anxious, "What about my uncle?" What did my uncle say? ”

"This matter is what the father-in-law went to fight for with his father-in-law and mother-in-law." Sanniang smiled sweetly.

Luo Shi glared at her daughter, Sanniang was a little inexplicable, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

"You listen to your mother, live at home for a few days according to the rules, and then go back to Cangtong Town to serve your in-laws, how can your in-laws be at home, you follow your uncle out......" Luo instructed his daughter.

Sanniang was puzzled, "Mother, my father-in-law and mother-in-law also agreed." ”

Luo grabbed his daughter's hand and sighed, "You forgot what your mother told you when you got married?" ”

Sanniang shook her head, and Luo clapped her daughter's hand, "You just listen to your mother." Uncle is studying and taking the test for fame, you are distracted from the past at this time, and your life in the Sheng family will not be easy in the future......"

When Sanniang listened, she lowered her head and remained silent.

Luo was anxious and wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Li with a gentle look.

Luo thought that his daughter would stay at home for a few more days, so he didn't continue to say anything, and wanted to wait until his daughter had a score in her heart before mentioning it.

Have lunch

Affair.

At lunch, Sanniang was a little absent-minded, Sheng Zi gave her a few dishes, her smile was very far-fetched, Luo looked very helpless, although she felt sorry for her daughter, but the rules could not be abolished, her daughter was going to live in the Sheng family for a lifetime, just to be happy for a while, ruined a lifetime, and it was too late to cry.

Sheng Zi saw it, and he had a plan in his heart.

After lunch, on the pretext of going back to the room to rest, he pulled his wife into the house, closed the door, pressed his wife on the kang, and half-bent down and asked, "What's wrong?" What did your mother-in-law tell you? ”

Sanniang hung her head and shook her head again and again, Sheng Zi sighed lightly, and held Sanniang's face with both hands, "Sanniang, look at me, we are husband and wife, believe me, there is no problem that cannot be solved, huh?" ”

Sanniang raised her eyes, her always dark and bright eyes were full of water waves, reflecting Sheng Zidu's figure, she sobbed and shouted, "Xianggong......"

Sheng Zidu sighed, sat beside his wife, and took his wife into his arms, "What's wrong?" Is your mother-in-law not letting you go to the capital with me? ”

Sanniang immediately got out of Sheng Zidu's arms, a pair of watery eyes stared at him, Sheng Zidu chuckled, slender fingers slid across her face, and smiled lowly, "I want to ask how I know?" ”

Sanniang nodded again and again.

Sheng Zidu pointed to his cheek, "Kiss me, and I'll sue you." ”

Sanniang's face turned red, and her eyes looked left and right in a bit of a panic, "Now, it's daytime!" ”

Sheng Zi was teasing her, how could it be so easy to get rid of, he lay down on the kang with his head in his hands, closed his eyes, "I have a way to let my father-in-law and mother-in-law dispel their worries, and let them send you to Beijing with a smile......"

"Xianggong!" Sanniang's body was half-lying, a pair of soft wattles were falling on his chest, and her eyes were shining at him, "What you said is true?" ”

Sheng Zidu couldn't help the smile in his eyes, put one hand around her, dropped a kiss on top of her head, patted Sanniang's back like a soothing, and complained, "It's a pity that my lady doesn't appreciate it, and I don't want to kiss her, I'm thinking about whether to ......."

"Xianggong ......" Sanniang got up in Sheng Zidu's arms, her eyes dodged for a long time, and she looked cautiously for a long time, and the slightest movement outside was as panicked as a deer.

Thinking of her shyness on the wedding night, she didn't dare to look at herself like this, Sheng Zidu's eyes deepened unconsciously, and a touch of cunning flashed, he half-raised his body, leaned into Sanniang's ear, and whispered, "Otherwise, stay until the evening?" ”

Sanniang's face immediately showed a smile and nodded repeatedly.

Sheng Zi couldn't help laughing, and added, "You take the initiative!" ”

Sanniang's eyes widened and she looked at him without blinking.

Sheng Zidu laughed, lay down again, and hugged his wife into his arms, "I'll tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law about this matter, you can push everything on me!" ”

"But ......," Sanniang was silent for a while, and said, "Mother said, you are the key to studying now, and you don't want me to disturb your study." And also...... The mother said that there was no father-in-law and mother-in-law at home, and the eldest daughter-in-law went out with her father-in-law......"

Sheng Zidu patted his wife's back, rubbed his chin against the top of his wife's soft hair, and said with a smile, "You forgot that your father and mother instigated you to come?" Besides, our Sheng family is a businessman, and we don't have the pedantic ideas of a scholar! What's more, what does it have to do with you whether I study well or not? I'm not a person who thinks about the joy of men and women all day long, and my mother-in-law is worried about it......"

Hearing Sheng Zidu's words so straightforward, Sanniang pouted, patted him gently, and said coquettishly, "You arrange my mother!" ”

Sheng Zidu grabbed her hand and kissed her mouth, and said with a smile, "If I don't let you follow me, I can't see anyone all day long, and that's delaying my homework!" ”

"Xianggong!" Seeing that Sheng Zi was talking more and more out of proportion, Sanniang was a little anxious and wanted to get up, but was imprisoned by Sheng Zidu and took it into his arms, "I've been on the road for so many days in a row, I'm so tired, lady, you sleep with me for a while." ”

Sanniang knew that he was hard, so she sighed, didn't dare to move again, nestled in his arms, but after a while, she fell asleep.

Sheng Zidu got up gently, covered her with a thin quilt, dressed up, and went out.

He went to see Xia Chenghe and Luo, as for what he said, no one knew, but Xia Chenghe and Luo no longer mentioned the words of letting their daughter go back to Cangtong Town.

On the second day, Sheng Zidu met with Zou Pengcheng.

As soon as Zou Pengcheng saw him, he cried with a sad face, "You can count on coming." ”

Sheng Zidu chuckled and pointed to a place for him to sit, "I heard that you have been isolated from the house by your mother-in-law these days...... What's going on? ”

"Young master, the happiness of a young life's life depends on you! You can't die without help! Zou Pengcheng went up to hug Sheng Zidu, and Sheng Zidu stretched out his hand to block him, "Every time you call me young master, it's not a good thing, let's say, what's the matter this time?" ”

Zou Pengcheng rubbed his hands and leaned forward with a smile, "I found a daughter-in-law for my mother, you go and help me talk to my in-laws." ”

Sheng Zi glared at him, and Zou Pengcheng looked at him with a smile.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and Sheng Zi both picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Who?" ”

"The daughter of the in-laws' grandfather's cousin's family, her name is Yao Niang." Speaking of Yao Niang, Zou Pengcheng's face smiled like a chrysanthemum in September.

Sheng Zidu sighed and glanced at him, "You have inquired about the names of other girls, why don't you have the ability to make your mother-in-law nod and agree?" ”

Speaking of this, Zou Pengcheng glared at Sheng Zidu, sat on the chair opposite him, and was very complaining, "How do I know why, I was fine for the first few days, and suddenly I was not allowed to go into the backyard......"

"Are you a girl?" Sheng Zi glanced over.

Zou Pengcheng looked aggrieved, "How dare I?!" ”

Since that day, he sent gadgets to make Yao Niang happy, and after being bumped into by Luo, he has never been able to come in, every time he wants to come in, he is blocked in the outer courtyard, and he can only step on the roof in the middle of the night to peek at the beauty!

Although the sleeping beauty is also beautiful, it is not right to lie in bed and not talk to him

He won't smile at him, he's not happy.

What's more, even if he peeked at him, he had to succeed once, and when he went to see it again, he was either chased by Yan Xia or picked up by Hui Chun, and his cat was so scared that he didn't dare to move in the house all night.

"Young master, for the sake of us growing up together, for the sake of my mother's grandmother, you must help me!"

"How do you want to thank me?" Sheng Zidu opened his mouth lightly and took a sip of tea with an elegant posture.

Zou Pengcheng looked at him defensively, "How do you want me to thank you?" ”

"I haven't thought of it yet, and I'll sue you again when I think of it."

Zou Pengcheng hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, deal!" ”

Sheng Zidu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Zou Pengcheng felt a little regretful, but thinking of the woman's smile under the flower tree, he slapped his palm, no matter what the price is, it is worth it to marry Yao Niang!

Sheng Zidu told Sanniang what Zou Pengcheng meant, and Sanniang was very happy, "Really? If Sister Yao marries him, then Sister Yao and I will be concubines......"

"Kiss and kiss! You've got a companion too, okay? ”

Sanniang nodded again and again, and agreed to persuade Luo to say the match.

Luo Shi immediately shook his head, "No, your uncle and your uncle are both Yao Niang's daughter, if I open my mouth to marry her daughter to your family...... How can I be worthy of your aunt......"

Sanniang smiled, went up and grabbed Luo's arm, "Mother, what do you want?" Although Zou Pengcheng is the brother of my father-in-law, he is not a descendant of our family! ”

Luo was surprised, and Sanniang continued, "Zou Pengcheng's mother and my mother-in-law were good sisters in their childhood, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, and Zou Pengcheng's mother-in-law married a small trader, who was Zou Pengcheng's father. The two gave birth almost at the same time, my mother-in-law was weak and couldn't feed the child, and she didn't worry about the nurse outside, so Zou Pengcheng's mother took the father-in-law to feed ......"

"He's not a subordinate, is he?" Luo was still a little puzzled, "Then why is he called Uncle...... Master? ”

Sanniang smiled, "Mother, didn't people give Xianggong a long face in front of you?" ”

Luo Shi was stunned, and then sighed, "I think he is interested in Yao Niang, I am afraid that something will happen, so I haven't let him enter the yard for several days, this won't be a bad family affair, right?" ”

Sanniang pursed her lips, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "Mother, Uncle Zou asked for Xianggong, I came to ask you to be a matchmaker!" ”

"Okay, that's a good feeling!" Luo also smiled, "Yao Niang, this child is gentle and virtuous, and sensible...... By the way, their family is ...... now."

"Mother wants to ask their family what they do to make a living?"

Roche nodded.

Sanniang smiled, "Uncle Zou and Aunt Zou went to the capital one step ahead of us, it was my father-in-law who wanted to open a branch in the capital, and discussed Uncle Zou, and Uncle Zou also went with him to open a branch, so that my father-in-law could have a help in the capital." ”

"Then they are going to settle down in the capital in the future?" Luo Shi was a little hesitant, "Your eldest aunt may not be willing to marry Yao Niang so far......"

Sanniang hugged Luo's arm and shook it, "Mother, I'm also in the capital, with me as a companion, the eldest aunt will definitely nod!" Besides, the conditions of Uncle Zou's house are many times better than the one that Sister Yao looked for before! The aunt of the Zou family is as good-tempered as her mother-in-law, although Uncle Zou is shrewd and exceptionally good to her family! Sister Yao marries to ensure that she will like them. ”

Luo Shi thought that her daughter would live in the capital in the future, and she didn't know when she would be able to see each other again, her face was a little sad, and she didn't want her daughter to worry, so she smiled and patted her daughter's hand, "Okay, I'll go back to Jiuli Pavilion tomorrow to ask your uncle and aunt what they mean." ”

"Thank you, mother." Sanniang's smile was like a flower, the corners of her eyes were full of joyful smiles, and Luo also smiled, but there was some reluctant pain in her eyes.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, Sanniang went out, and Xia Chenghe came back in a short time.

Luo was sitting on the kang in a daze, Xia Chenghe asked her and sighed faintly, "My daughter is unmarried, and I am worried about getting married; When my daughter gets married, I am sad to leave ......"

sighed, and pulled Xia Chenghe to talk about Zou Pengcheng and Yao Niang, Xia Chenghe was very surprised, "...... them They've only met a few times......"

Roche hated him, "You also saw me......"

Xia Chenghe touched his head and smiled innocently.

On the second day, the couple went back to Jiuli Pavilion early in the morning, and came back in the middle of the afternoon, along with Xia Chengye and Fang's husband and wife.

The two met Zou Pengcheng, and the three of them locked up in the room and talked for half an hour.

When they came out, all three had smiles on their faces.

"Sister-in-law, how is it? Success? Seeing people come out, Luo took Fang Shi to the inner room to talk.

Fang nodded, his face full of smiles, "The child is a good one, your eldest brother and I like it very much, although the marriage is a bit far away, but with Sanniang here, she is not alone!" ”

"So, the uncle and sister-in-law are in response to this family?"

Fang Shi snorted, "I have nothing to say to your eldest brother, Zou Xiaozi said that he had written a letter to chase his father and mother, and asked his father and mother to come to Qingshui to preside over the overall situation." ”

Roche nodded, "Yes, let them see our daughter's ...... too"

Fang Shi smiled, "That's the reason." ”

Luo smiled and said, "If you hurry up, you can do family affairs in the second half of the year, and your sister-in-law will be able to be a grandmother next year......"

The smile on Fang's face became more and more cheerful.

Zou Pengcheng's parents came sooner than expected, and Zou Pengcheng's letter was written when Roche wouldn't let him go into the backyard, and when Zou Pengcheng's parents arrived in Qingshui Town, it was early September.

Sheng Zi couldn't wait, and took Sanniang to the capital first.

On the eighth day of September, the Zou family and his wife officially visited Yanghuai Hutong.

Xia Chengye and Fang, Xia Chenghe and Luo hosted the two couples together.

Yao Niang was ignorant and ignorant by Yan Xia stuffed the tea tray to deliver tea, and was pulled by the Zou family lady to praise it, and also put a white and crystal jade bracelet on Yao Niang's wrist, Yao Niang wanted to refuse, and was read by the Zou family lady with a smile, "The elder gives, I can't resign." ”

Xia Chengye and the Fang family knew that this family affair was done.

Roche said with a smile

Roche smiled and said, "Good boy, your Aunt Zou gave it to you, you are so good." ”

Yao Niang smiled and thanked her, and retreated generously and decently, and was surrounded by Banniang and Eleven Niang into the house, laughing loudly!

Yao Niang still didn't know what was going on, or Xiao Twelve secretly bit her ear and told her, "My second sister and third sister said that they were like this when they kissed......"

Yao Niang's face turned red to the heel of her neck.

She said that her father and mother met guests with the third uncle and the third aunt, and Yan Xia also said that she was not feeling well and asked her to send tea, which turned out to be ......

Thinking of the young man who was as bright as a star in the sky when he saw him, Yao Niang's heart suddenly warmed, and her face suddenly became hotter.

The two exchanged Geng posts, and the family affair was finalized.

The Zou family and his wife took Zou Pengcheng back to Cangtong Town, and the dowry was sent to Qingshui, because the Zou family was going to the capital, when the two families agreed on the marriage date, Xia Chengye and the Fang family specially put forward this point, took care of the Zou family, and set the wedding date in early October.

Although the time is a little tight, the Zou family is not less than the number of courtesies, and they also made up an additional 1,000 taels of dowry to the daughter-in-law who has not passed the door.

Xia Chenghe and Luo quietly gave Yao Niang a house deed to add makeup, it was Sanniang before leaving, the family discussed the purchase of Sanniang, a three-entry house in the capital and the Sheng family's house separated by an alley.

Xia Chengye and his wife were startled, and they were about to retreat to the third room, but they were stopped by the old man of the Xia family, "People's hearts change people's hearts, you should keep their good in mind, and remember to help if you have something in the future!" ”

"But ......" Xia Chengye looked at the deed, even in Qingshui Town, a three-entry mansion costs a thousand taels, this is still from the capital, how much silver does this cost?!

The eldest lady of the Xia family sighed on the side, "The third room is a good one, I know how to compare my heart with my heart, and I know how to be grateful...... You can accept this deed with peace of mind, in the future, what is going on in the third room, you are all diligent, let the two boys be closer to the third room, and wait for the children in the third room to get married, let them treat them like Yao Niang, and give a few looks to support the waist of the mother's family! It is also the fulfillment of your heart. ”

"Mother, how can this be the same? Brother Zhong and Brother Yi were originally brothers of several children, and they should support them, we ...... this deed" Fang shook his head.

The eldest lady of the Xia family took her daughter-in-law's hand and smiled, "You, you are also sincere, you are all good children, you can return it if you want, so as not to have a burden in your heart......"

The title deed was left behind.

Luo Zhi bit it was to add makeup to Yao Niang, who stipulated that makeup can't be added to the house?

She domineeringly took out the dowry list of Erniang and Sanniang and showed it to the couple, and the couple's jaws couldn't close in shock.

Tens of thousands of taels of dowry, jade, gems, silk and silk do not need money to accompany them, this is ......

The couple was shocked, and when they got home, they found that the deed was still firmly in their hands, looking at each other, not knowing how to speak.
