Chapter 475: Sisters
Ah Fu Aman is older, and he understands the reason why his mother is doing this in the blink of an eye, Brother Yun can't think so much, and he can't think so deeply, but he subconsciously likes the feeling of family hugging together, intimate and harmonious, so he laughs the purest, and the most unfaked, grinning with a big mouth, his eyes narrowed into a line, and the laughter of the family is mixed together, floating out of the room, and has been floating all over the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
Wrapped and hugged together, the parents worked together to hold up a safe and warm world for their children.
Brother Yun didn't hesitate at all this time, nodded with joy on his face, broke down from Qiu Chen's arms, pounced on Afu Aman with his little short legs, hugged his brother and sister and kissed him next to him, Qiu Chen guided him to bring his brother and sister over, the four of them were intimate, and called Qin Zheng over, Qin Zheng was in the outermost layer, followed by Qiu Chen, followed by Afu Aman, and in the middle was Brother Yun......
Qiu Chen struck while the iron was hot, hugged Brother Yun towards Afu Aman, and said: "Brother and sister are so good to Brother Yun, love Brother Yun so much, is it okay for Yun'er and her mother to kiss their brother and sister together?" ”
Brother Yun nodded again and again, and turned back to Ah Fu Aman and grinned.
Qiu Chen's eyes widened slightly, and he was very surprised: "Brother helps Yun'er, sister still hugs Yun'er?" ”
Little things have gradually grown up, and their language skills have also been strengthened, for example, older brothers and sisters have been able to call out continuously, but the pronunciation of the two words will be a little unclear. The pot is the elder brother, and the garga is the elder sister......
Brother Yun thought about it, shook his head, and nodded again: "One ...... Rise! Pot pot ...... Help ......, add ...... Embrace! ”
"Brother Yun picks melons, plants flowers, and chooses vegetables?" Qiu Chen translated for Brother Yun'er, and when he saw the little thing bending his eyes and nodding his head again and again, he smiled again, "You pick melons, plant flowers, and choose vegetables, what about your brothers and sisters?" Aren't you with Yun'er? ”
Brother Yun blinked his eyes and said crisply: "Melon, flower...... Cuisine! ”
Qiu Chen nodded Brother Yun'er's nose with a smile, and said with a smile: "What is Yun'er doing at home?" ”
Qiu Chen took a step forward and reached out to take the little thing in his arms, and the little thing immediately hugged Qiu Chen's neck like an octopus and slammed it tightly into Qiu Chen's arms. Qiu Chen sat on the edge of the kang with a smile, twisted his head to greet Afu Aman, kissed the little faces of the two people, and was immediately hugged by Brother Yun, and kissed him several times.
When I got home, the children followed Qin Zheng and didn't come back in the back garden, after Qiu Chen asked, he was slightly surprised and directly ordered someone to prepare hot water, took a comfortable bath, washed his hair, changed into dry clothes and pants, and came out while wiping his hair. Qin Zheng had already turned back with Brother Afu and Amanyun, and as soon as he saw Qiu Chen, no one could snatch Brother Yun, and he pounced on him with two fleshy little paws, not caring if he would fall off the kang......
Qiu Chen shook her head with a smile, and then picked up a few words of comfort and comfort, and then beckoned the girls and mothers-in-law to come in and wait for the Li family to wash and change clothes, and then she said goodbye and came out of the Liang Guogong Mansion and took the car all the way back to the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
Li Shi turned his eyes to look at Qiu Chen, patted her arm with a sigh, nodded and said, "It's still thoughtful!" ”
Qiu Chen hurriedly responded: "Madame has a lot of experience and knowledge, or Madame, you are optimistic, I will help you inquire from the side...... I got acquainted with those few people today, and I just thought that no matter how optimistic the lady was, it would be easy for her to inquire about a letter. Their little girls are all born and raised in Beijing, and they are all familiar with each other, and they want to find out something, and it is much cheaper to inquire with them than to send someone to inquire from outside, and the letter is much more reliable! ”
Li interrupted her persuasion with a wave of his hand, and vetoed without any room: "What you said is wrong, she is thirteen years old at the age of three, and she still doesn't know the severity, she doesn't know how to look at her eyes, and it will be difficult to change it in the future." Well, as you said, in people like us, only we pick people and no one picks us. Forget about this, you can worry more about me in the future, and let's consider it together and give your sixth brother a good one! ”
She looked at Li's face, and hesitated to persuade: "Actually, this is not a big problem, but the second elder of the Song family is just this granddaughter, who has been spoiled a little, and is used to being a little unattractive...... In the future, it will be good to marry your wife and take her by your side to teach carefully for a few years! ”
As he spoke, he picked up a few words from Song Xi'er and Xu Qinghua. There was no need for her to say more, Li Shi had already frowned, and Qiu Chen accepted it when he saw it, so he stopped talking.
Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused, walked to the door of the house and looked out of the window, then cautiously turned back, sat down next to Li, and said in a low voice: "Although Miss Song can't be said to be stupid, she speaks straight and doesn't bend......"
Qiu Chen took Mrs. Li's arm, went all the way into Hanlian Garden, entered the main room where Mrs. Li lived, waved his hand, and asked the girl's mother-in-law to temporarily retreat outside to wait, only she sat on the couch with Li, Qiu Chen said in a low voice: "Mrs. Song said that her family's Nizi is a solid-eyed and stupid girl...... If I didn't know this, I would only think that Mrs. Song's self-humility, but I talked to that Miss Song family, and I can be regarded as understanding her temperament to some extent......"
The place where the two people stood happened to be outside the courtyard gate of Hanlian Garden, the sun was westerly, and it was not as warm as when the noon sun hung high in the sky.
Stunned for a moment, she could only shake her head helplessly, but her eyes were fixed on Qiu Chen's face, waiting for her to continue, and even her footsteps stopped.
When Li heard Qiu Chen's affirmation, he couldn't help but feel a little happy, but he didn't expect Qiu Chen to change the conversation and ask her about Old Madam Song's words. At that time, she only cared about annoying Qiu Chen and acted on her own, and she didn't even say hello to her, where did she listen to what Mrs. Song said.
Qiu Chen nodded with a smile and said honestly: "This girl from the Song family is a good one!" Did you hear what Old Madam Song said just now? ”
Li Shi almost burst out laughing, glared at Qiu Chen with a smile, and urged: "Don't boast yet, you hurry up and tell me, you see something." ”
Qiu Chen's face was serious, and he said solemnly: "Who laughed at it?" I'm still humbly saying this. If you tell the truth, the sixth brother has excellent character and learning, excellent appearance, and a beautiful son in Zhilan Yushu and Yushu, only those ladies are not worthy of us! ”
This sentence really reached Li's heart, and finally stretched his face and said with a smile: "How can you boast so much, and you are not afraid of people hearing jokes!" ”
Saying that, Qiu Chen smiled and said: "I am not an outsider, I am not humble anymore, the sixth brother is full of poetry and books, and his conduct is good, and the door of our Guogong Mansion is not bad, it is not my mouth, only we choose, no one else picks us." ”
Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused and looked at Li's face sideways, seeing that although her expression was still a little faint, she no longer had the angry look of Fang Cai, so he continued: "Madame said that just now, since I met it, I naturally want to be able to talk, so I can understand Miss Song's temperament......"
Qiu Chen instructed the car to follow the car of the Guogong Mansion, detour to the Liang Guogong Mansion, and entered the gate together, just in the second gate, Qiu Chen got out of the car and came over and then Mrs. Li got out of the car, and while sending Mrs. Li inside, he whispered to Mrs. Li: "I and Princess Fu are old acquaintances in Anyang, and when we met today, I sat under the stage and talked for a while, but I didn't expect that group of girls to also happen to come over." The daughter of the Duke of Zhao and the secretary of the military department all talked to Princess Fu, and these two happened to sit next to me......"
The three families are not in the same direction, and when they walk out of the two alleys, they go their separate ways.
Li sat at the bottom of his hand, suppressing the stunned in his heart, and laughing in agreement. After Qiu Chen had laughed with a few people, and when Mrs. Song and the Ning family got up to say goodbye, she said goodbye with Qiu Chen, found her own car in the second gate, and greeted each other to say goodbye, and then they each boarded the car and left the Changle Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Smiled again and again and agreed, over there, Mrs. Song and Princess Changle pointed at Mrs. Ning and muttered something, and the two of them laughed at the same time.
Qiu Chen's smile was gentle and supple, but he secretly admired in his heart, this Mrs. Ning seemed to be speaking truthfully, but she didn't leak...... Thinking about Wang Jingshu's calm and mature again, it is really a family education inheritance!
Mrs. Song covered her mouth and smiled in a very good mood, but she just didn't nod her head in agreement. Ning sighed, turned around and grabbed Qiu Chen's hand, patted her hand and said, "Even if you are sisters with Jingshu, I will treat you as your own child, don't wait for me to send someone after the next post, you bring the child to your own home." ”
Ning Shi turned his eyes and looked at Mrs. Song with a smile, and said funny: "I was just thinking about this little bit carefully, and you saw through it at a glance...... You old merciful, let me go back! ”
Mrs. Song smiled beside her and said, "You are quick to start, you can't turn people back at this time!" ”
Qiu Chen restrained his expression and bowed respectfully. Mrs. Ning Shi of the Criminal Department looked at her with a slight smile and finished the blessing ceremony, then raised her hand with a smile and said: "That's it, you are also a sincere child, I will be quiet under my knees now, and in the future, you will also come to the family often...... It's also a lonely place for me! ”
In the midst of a lively crowd, Mrs. Song patted Qiu Chen's hand, held her and said that she was slightly sent to the right hand, and sent her to Mrs. Ning of the Criminal Department.
Some people didn't understand this, but the eldest princess of Changle and a few old ladies showed knowing smiles. They laughed, and the others, whether they understood it or not, also echoed it with a smile and flattery and congratulations.
Qiu Chen bent his knees and said with a smile: "You always treat me as your own...... I'm relieved! ”
Bachelor Song is one of the three bachelors of the cabinet, and he is the respect of the public, how many years, but few people dare to say so bluntly that Mrs. Song is 'over'. Everyone was stunned, but Old Madam Song laughed heartily, held Qiu Chen's hand and said with a smile: "Well, you kid really understands, I didn't expect that Xi'er's stupid girl has a really good eye, and she found herself a good sister!" ”
Qiu Chen smiled and hugged the old lady and said with a smile: "I just look at Sister Xi'er's good temperament, Sister Xi'er is rare pure and kind, but she is thoughtful and proper in her words and deeds...... Although your words are humble, old lady, they are also a bit excessive! ”
Before she could squat down, Old Madam Song had already reached out to hold her, looked her up and down with a smile on her face, and said, "Well, it's a good boy!" I was distressed that the girl left her by her side, but she was unforgiving in her age, she couldn't take care of many things, and her parents were not around, so she was used to this girl not looking...... Well, this time, I'm relieved to have your sister looking at her all the time! ”
With a soft smile, Qiu Chen walked to Old Madam Song and bowed first.
Mrs. Ning of the Criminal Department's Shangshu Wang Yi is thin and tall, with a long face, upright facial features, wearing a purple chrysanthemum pattern woven gold satin gown, a black horse-faced dry skirt embroidered with a treasure vase, combing a high bun, and wearing a pearl and jade is rich and generous, but the smile on her face does not seem to be profound, and looking at Qiu Chen's gaze is faintly scrutinizing.
Old Madam Song was wearing an autumn-colored silk gown, an indigo horse-faced skirt, a round bun, and her hair was almost white, but her skin was fair-skinned and her face was kind, and she looked at Qiu Chen with a slight smile.
The eldest princess pushed Qiu Chen to the ladies sitting next to her, and everyone looked at them with a smile. The Li family had pointed out Song Xi'er's grandmother, Mrs. Song, before, and at this moment, Song Xi'er and Wang Jingshu both stood in front of their parents, and they were not afraid of admitting their mistakes.
The eldest princess looked at them, smiled and took Qiu Chen's hand, and said with a smile: "You have two younger sisters on this trip today, but you have made a lot of money." Go, don't go and see the ceremony again! ”
At the end of the day, Qiu Chen followed everyone to say goodbye to the eldest princess and Chang Jiayi. Since she said that she was her sister, Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er have never left with her, and now they said goodbye, and the three of them were with Princess Fu and a few little girls, but they still walked together.
"Hehe, this is about the same, Madame can't break her promise, otherwise, I will find the door!" Tang Lanzhi said with a smile, Wang Jingshu, Song Xi'er, and Xu Qinghua, who had already figured out what was going on, although they didn't know what they were thinking, they all smiled and congratulated.
Qiu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to pat her, and said with a happy face: "Since Princess Fu has opened her mouth, I can't help it if I want to save money...... However, in the first month, everyone did not have time to come out, seeing that the weather is getting warmer day by day, and the weather is warmer in February, the lake should also be civilized, and when the time comes, a forsythia and a few magnolia purple magnolia trees planted in my back garden should also be opened, and when the time comes, I will post to invite you. ”
There was a high distance between Tang Lanzhi and Qiu Chen, and although she had been talking to Xu Qinghua and the girl of the Sui family, she could hear the things here roughly clearly. When Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er got up to greet Qiu Chen, Tang Lanzhi turned her face to look over, but waited until Qiu Chen gave the gift, Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er re-seated, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, madam, you have such two good sisters in such a short time...... This matter can't be so particular, Madame has such a good sister, you have to set up a banquet for us, and celebrate and celebrate! ”
Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er took it generously and thanked them happily, and then sat down again.
Qiu Chen's face was full of joy, and he took out a pair of mutton fat white jade carved from the sleeve pocket in his hand, and handed them to Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er one by one: "I didn't prepare it, although this gadget is a new worker, the jade quality can still be passable, and the two younger sisters can take it to play." Sister's meeting gift, I'll make up for it later! ”
As he spoke, he pulled Song Xi'er to get up with a smile, and bent his knees on the spot to greet Qiu Chen again, which can be regarded as recognizing Qiu Chen's sister!
Wang Jingshu was so calm, when she heard Qiu Chen say this, she couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, and was slightly stunned for a moment, then she regained her calm, patted Song Xi'er's hand, and said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't dislike the two of us, that's really a blessing for the two of us." ”
Song Xi'er's eyes widened suddenly, and she stared at Qiu Chen in disbelief, and then hurriedly turned back to look at Wang Jingshu.
Qiu Chen laughed, looked at Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er and said with a smile: "I only have two brothers, no sisters, if you are willing, I would like to have a sister like you who is good-looking and intelligent, and sensible!" ”
What's more, she has read the Di Bao for several years in a row, and she knows a lot about Wang Yi and Song Bachelor, the secretary of the Criminal Department, these two are real royalists, and they have not participated in the current battle for succession, such a family is the most stable, and she has handed over to them, so she doesn't have to worry about any conflicts between each other's family political views.
These two, with a good family background, good character, and personality look at the front of them, one is calm and the other is lively, which is not bad...... With such two girls, the circle of friends in the capital will be wider in the future. Moreover, getting along with the little girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet is far more comfortable and pleasant than playing with those ladies and wives.
Wang Jingshu has fair skin and excellent appearance, although she is not a country and a city, she can be regarded as a beautiful woman. In particular, her gentle and demure bearing, graceful and elegant manners have added a lot to her appearance, and she has fine white skin that can be broken by blowing...... makes Qiu Chen inevitably think of Jia Lian's evaluation of Xue Baochai in "Dream of Red Mansions", 'Don't dare to speak loudly, I'm afraid that the heat will melt away'. Even this kind of empathy is similar, the difference is that Wang Jingshu has a good life, her parents are alive, and her brothers and sisters who love her and spoil her. Unlike Xue Baochai, who is very rich in the family but his father died early, and his brother is a muddy person who does not distinguish between four or six, not only can he not protect their mother and daughter, but he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, bullies men and women, and causes someone's life for a little girl, so she has to go to Beijing to avoid trouble with her aunt Mrs. Wang.
Qiu Chen looked at Song Xi'er when he heard this, the latter was still smiling, leaned up and grabbed Wang Jingshu's arm, and said, "Well, I don't know why, it's obviously the first time I've seen the county lord, but I think the county lord is very amiable and approachable...... Well, I think the county lord is a lot like a big sister......"
Wang Jingshu looked at Song Xi'er, shook her head with a smile and turned back to Qiu Chen: "This girl looks rough, but she actually understands it best in her heart. She didn't care about the county lord, this is to conclude that the county lord is gentle and generous, and she will not be blamed! ”
Song Xi'er nodded her head with a smile on her face, her eyes crooked with a smile, and said, "Well, Xi'er knows, thank you for the county lord's teaching!" ”
Smiling and shaking his head, seeing that Song Xi'er immediately turned cloudy and sunny, and her little face became bright again, Qiu Chen smiled and said: "Actually, Xi'er understands in her heart, these are all private words, it doesn't hurt to talk to people close to you, it's better to pay attention to people when you get to people!" ”
Although Song Xi'er speaks more bluntly and has a somewhat self-oriented temperament, in general, she is more coquettish, not to the point of being rude and domineering, so she is not disgusted, Qiu Chen is more familiar, but he thinks that the little girl is easy to socialize and a little cute.
Song Xi'er was used to growing up, and she didn't care if Gu Qingningsheng was angry at this time, she only turned back to her little face, looked at Qiu Chen, and asked pitifully: "County Lord, you won't blame me, right?" ”
Song Xi'er spoke openly, Gu Qingning's face was a little unbearable, but it was not good to really make noise in front of so many people, and said a little angrily: "I won't tell you!" Then he turned back in a huff and looked at the stage intently.
As she spoke, seeing that Gu Qingning was about to speak again, she intercepted it directly and said, "Sister Jingshu and Sister Qiudi are both familiar with each other, and they have been used to playing together since childhood, and they are not outsiders...... The county lord won't blame you for such a trivial matter, but you like to pick thorns the most. ”
Song Xi'er glared at her disapprovingly, and said, "What's this, say it or not, who can't get married?" ”
Gu Qingning, who was next to her, had not been able to interject, but at this time she was stunned, and said with a smile: "You are really, you are really not ashamed to say 'marrying' so loudly!" ”
Song Xi'er pouted and said disapprovingly: "One term is three years, and two terms are six years...... Six years later, not to mention you, I'm married, who knows where it will be, and I don't know if I'm in the capital! ”
Wang Jingshu raised her eyes to look at Qiu Chen, smiled slightly, and turned to Song Xi'er: "What the county lord said is right, in the future, the eldest brother-in-law will be promoted and transferred, and he will come back." Maybe it's just one or two ......."
"There's always a chance in the future." Qiu Chen smiled and was relieved.
Qiu Chen laughed a little when he saw it, at this age, he was from a good background, and he had been clothed and fed since he was a child, but he hadn't really experienced all kinds of pain in life, and things like this kind of sisterly separation were enough for them to sigh and be sad.
As she spoke, Song Xi'er's bright little face also brought out some sighs and thoughts.
Song Xi'er also interjected and said with a smile: "Well, the eldest sister has the best temper and loves us the most...... I used to love the old and tired of my big sister...... Alas, it's a pity, the eldest sister left the cabinet two years ago, and followed the eldest brother-in-law to a foreign post, this time, I don't know how many years I will see again......"
Wang Jingshu's smile deepened slightly, and she nodded: "Yes, my brothers and sisters love me very much and care for me!" It turned out that when my sister was not out of the cabinet, I was tired of being with her. ”
Qiu Chen was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang is really blessed, she has five children. …… You are so blessed to have an older brother and a younger sister. ”
Wang Jingshu smiled and bowed her head and said: "I have many brothers and sisters, three brothers, one sister and two younger sisters. The brothers and sisters are all of the same mother, and the younger sisters are all concubines! ”
Qiu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Listen to this, how many brothers do you have in your family?" ”
Wang Jingshu smiled, looked back at Qiu Chen and said, "Don't blame the county lord, our sisters have been playing together since childhood, and we are used to talking without hindrance." ”
Song Xi'er smiled, there was no haze on her bright little face, and she nodded again and again: "Well, well, I know, it's just a matter of talking." Besides, Sister Jingshu also agreed to embroider a purse for me. ”
After Song Xi'er finished speaking, Wang Jingshu glanced back at her and said with a smile: "You don't know, my fan cover is made of my eldest brother's fan, he just waits, where can I give it to you?" ”
Qiu Chen couldn't help but be surprised when he watched from the side, this girl from the Wang family was really calm enough, and her bearing was ...... is indeed dignified and demure enough, but it inevitably loses some of the agility that should be present at this age. I just don't know if she can have more expressions after getting acquainted with it.
Song Xi'er said in a chattering voice, Wang Jingshu's face was calm, and she listened with a faint smile, and she was not shy and shy......
Qiu Chen smiled and nodded, and was about to speak, when Song Xi'er came over from the other side, bent her knees happily towards Qiu Chen, and sat behind Wang Jingshu while sneering: "Sister Jingshu's painting is excellent, and the female red is also excellent, but it is too fine, very slow, I have seen her embroider a fan cover, such a big thing, she has embroidered for more than a month." However, the embroidered things are so good, I have begged her several times but have not been able to get it! ”
Wang Jingshu lowered her eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Madame is really different, I can see from one sentence that I like to paint." It's just that I like it, but it's not okay for female red, and the embroidery on these clothes is also made by girls. ”
As he spoke, Qiu Chen's eyes fell on the tiny entwined flowers on Wang Jingshu's placket, although the pattern is more traditional, but the embroidery is very fine, and the color matching is also elegant, without the festive colors of flowers and greens that are generally respected in this era.
Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Miss Wang can notice this, she must be a good girl who likes to draw and is popular!" ”
Wang Jingshu looked at the magnolia flowers on Qiu Chen's jacket, smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
Not to mention, just like the pattern drawn and then embroidered with the embroidery of the exquisite embroiderer, whether it is a flower or a bird, even a leaf is fresh and agile as if it is alive, it is really good-looking tight!
It is also right to say that Mrs. is not picky, Mrs. does not pursue the richness and gorgeousness of the clothes, but only the light and elegant colors and comfortable clothes can be. But the style and size of the clothes, embroidery, any bit bad, the lady will not agree. It's not that Mrs. will punish harshly, she just stares at the patterns embroidered by the embroidery girls, until the other party understands that she is used to Madame's requirements, and she doesn't care. In addition, the embroidery patterns used by the lady and the lord and the young lady are not usually used, they are all painted over and over again by the lady looking for a painter, and now the two painters who specialize in painting in the house are gradually becoming famous, and it is said that they are both known for their delicate and vivid brushstrokes. The others didn't know, but they understood it best, and it was all practiced in the process of the lady's request for revisions over and over again......
Yuegui, who was standing not far behind Qiu Chen and waiting, glanced at Chengying, and hurriedly lowered her eyes to hide the smile in her eyes.
Glancing at his dress, Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Wang Jingshu and said with a slight smile: "Where do I know how to draw, but what embroidery girls embroider I wear!" I'm not picky! ”
Since she had the conditions, although the clothes and jewelry on her body are not necessarily luxurious or gorgeous, they are always fine and chic. Even if it is a cloud pattern on the shoes, she is embroidered with the best embroiderer, if you don't pay attention to it, you may not notice anything, but as long as you pay attention to it, you can see that all the embroiderers on Qiu Chen's body are extremely hard-working, and they also have extremely high requirements for the craftsmanship of the embroiderer.
Qiu Chen doesn't pay attention to luxury, but he pays attention to exquisiteness, and like all women, he likes beautiful things.
