It seems that since Chu Chen left the capital, life has become lackluster. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ruosu's thirteenth birthday ushered in the first autumn breeze.

The leaves in the garden have already begun to fall.

She is not yet in time, and she is a cousin who lives in Qiao's house, so naturally she will not make a big deal on her birthday.

Mrs. Qiao instructed Mama Rong to set up a banquet in Moyaju, and as soon as the daughters of the Qiao family arrived, several sons were also called by the old lady to make up the number.

"Sister Su has lost her mother since she was a child, and Bai Qishan has never renewed the strings, so I don't care about her anymore, I should be really a poor person." Old Mrs. Qiao said, asked Qin Xiang to go to her private library to get an enamel flower hairpin and a plum blossom hairpin, and said: "Sister Su is only concerned about the livelihood of the medicine hall all day long, and I haven't seen her wear decent jewelry." ”

"It's not, our cousin's appearance is like this, if you dress up, you will be the first in the capital." Mama Rong straightened out the old lady Liqiao's waterweed-patterned gown, and said with a smile: "The old slave heard that before the third young master participated in the Autumn Festival, he also sent a sub-word to the cousin girl, these two people were still moving around a few days ago, but recently they have been deserted. ”

The autumn list is about to be released, Qiao Wei is far from unexpected, he will definitely be able to go to high school, and then he will become the fragrant bun of all big families, and his delicate granddaughter has no meaning in that aspect at all.

"I'm confused, am I mistaken?" Old Mrs. Qiao remembered Ruosu's aggressive method used against Qiao Weiyuan, thinking that she was interested in him, but now it seems that King Xiang may not be intentional, and the goddess may not be affectionate!

"The old ancestor can rest assured, the third young master is a person who hides everything in his heart, don't look at him treating everyone coldly, the old slave has never seen who the third young master has sent calligraphy and paintings." Mama Rong was relieved again: "As long as the third young master nods, presumably the second lady will not say anything." ”

With Tao's current status in the Qiao family, even if she wanted to control Qiao Weiyuan, she didn't have that strength.

"We'll talk about that in a few days." Mrs. Qiao looked at the Buddha statue on the long table, and had her own plan in her heart, she put down the Buddha beads and walked into the flower hall with a cane of sandalwood nanmu.

It wasn't until Mrs. Qiao was seated that the table began.

Qiao Weimeng, as the eldest son in the family, took the lead in raising a glass, and first said to Mrs. Qiao: "Grandson, this cup respects grandmother, I hope that grandmother is healthy and blessed like the East China Sea." ”

Among the heirs of the Qiao family, Mrs. Qiao was the most relieved to Qiao Weimeng, nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "This is your cousin's birthday, and they are all their own people, so there is no need to be formal." ”

Chu's face was not good, and the old lady asked Mama Rong to inform her to come over to celebrate Ruosu's birthday, which was simply a betrayal of her identity as a housewife.

On the other hand, the Tao family is also very hostile to Ruosu, since Qiao Ruowan was sent back to the Wen Mansion by Wen Tianyou, there has been no news back, and I don't know what Wen Tianyou has in mind.

Qiao Weimeng's eyes were six-way, and he knew everything about why his mother was jealous, and he took out a delicate brocade box from his sleeve: "Cousin, I heard that you are good at copying in the study, this is the seal button that my mother specially asked me to buy from the bazaar, I look at the carving chapter is the most suitable for women, and it should be a birthday gift for you." ”

As he spoke, Qiao Weimeng opened the brocade box, and inside was a gluttonous white jade seal button, shiny and small, looking like it could be held in one hand.

Chu Shi suddenly, the corners of her eyes covered with fine lines were completely stretched, she frowned and glanced at Qiao Weimeng, and Qiao Weimeng said respectfully to Chu: "It's the mother who has a heart, if it weren't for the mother's reminder, the son wouldn't be able to remember his cousin's birthday." ”

Ruosu took the look between the two of them into his eyes, and his pink lips swayed into a smile.

No wonder my grandmother trusts Qiao Weimeng the most! He's really good at being a man!

She stood up, took the brocade box with her own hands, bowed to Chu's and said: "Thank you aunt for remembering Ruosu's birthday, this seal button is in excellent condition, Ruosu really likes it, aunt has good eyesight, and must be a jade expert." ”

Everyone has vanity, especially Chu's self-proclaimed status is higher than others, after listening to Ruosu's 'compliment', the corners of her mouth raised unnaturally, and she squinted and said: "... It's good that Sister Su likes it, where do I have that good memory, and it was also reminded by my ancestors. Even her voice was softer than usual.

Qiao Weimeng's slender hand took a piece of crispy duck and put it in his mouth, he didn't like to drink, and the cup was drunk in one go, although it was faceless, but it was also very spicy.

Wei Mingxiang has become a little silent since she was frightened by Wen Tianyou last time, and she is even more cautious in dealing with people, in order to please Mrs. Qiao, she has already prepared Ruosu's birthday gift.

"Sister Su, the courtesy is light, don't dislike your sister's courtesy is too light." Wei Mingxiang asked the personal maid behind her to hand over a small wooden box engraved with a begonia pattern.

Ruo Su didn't reach out to take it in person this time, Qiao Wei Meng's gift was under the sign of the Chu family, she had to accept it with both hands, and Wei Mingxiang was different.

"Thank you sister, my sister can have this heart, Ruosu is already very happy, what do you dislike to talk about." If he didn't say anything, Qiao Yun took the small wooden box with a good sense of rules.

Several sisters of the Qiao family also gave small gifts one after another, except for Qiao Ruojiao and Qiao Ruoxi, who invested in the capital, Qiao Ruoyun was almost perfunctory.

Qiao Weixun is unique: "Cousin, this cricket is really interesting, cousin, I can't bear to cut my love and give it to you." He really brought a porcelain vase, and the crickets in it suddenly screamed.

In the capital, fighting crickets is a kind of knowledge, and the crickets who have been defeated repeatedly can be worth a hundred taels of silver.

Crickets can only lose once in their lives, but those who lose once have no use value, because they will never have any courage to fight when facing their opponents.

It's a very sad creature.

If you lose once, you will lose for a lifetime.

Qiao Weiyuan suddenly sneered, he had just drunk a glass of sake, and when the corners of his lips were slightly raised, he was uninhibited and arrogant: "Heh--- second brother, although you lost twenty taels of silver last time as a cricket, you can't say that you will give it away, ---it's a small life!" "When he said the word 'little life', his teeth were bitten very clearly, as if he was emphasizing something.

Qiao Weixun used the name of gift-giving, but in fact, he was dealing with 'waste', which made Mrs. Qiao very displeased: "Ridiculous, do you think that Sister Su is the same as you, all day long-only to fight eagles?!" The list will be released in a few days, if you don't win again, you will follow your seventh uncle to do business, and Hugh will stay in the house to eat white grain! ”

The seventh uncle mentioned by Mrs. Qiao is the concubine of Mrs. Qiao, since the old lady died, he went out to do business, and he has his property in Baoding and Yongqing.

Hearing this, Qiao Weixun swallowed his saliva and took the cricket back.

Chu is even more anxious, Shinong is a businessman, no matter how incompetent the second son is, he can't go into business: "Wei Xun, don't you confess your mistake to your grandmother!" Sister Su now lives in Qiao's house, she is the girl of Qiao's family, and today is her birthday, what are you messing around! ”

If you want Mrs. Qiao to 'take back her life', you have to do what she likes, there is no doubt that Bai Ruosu is her weakness.

Chu had to put on a kind posture at the moment, and gave Ruosu a few crab dumplings one after another: "The eldest aunt feels more and more that Sister Su has grown a lot taller, but she is too weak, and the ancestor is looking at our sister.... If only these two girls could be even. ”

Qiao Ruojiao felt that she was too wronged, she only cared about eating, and she didn't offend anyone, how could she be involved again.

She paused for a moment before she realized that Chu was saying that she was too plump.

Old Mrs. Qiao finally eased her mood, seeing this plump, slender two girls, she also liked it very much, she smiled and said: "What the eldest daughter-in-law said is reasonable, it is really good to be even." ”

Seeing that Old Lady Qiao no longer mentioned Qiao Weixun's business, Chu's heart was slightly relieved.

Tao on the side saw that Chu also had the intention of moving closer to Ruosu, and he couldn't wait to return to her Jade Pavilion immediately. Not to mention a congratulatory gift, she didn't even bother to say a word. At the same time, Qiao Weiyuan did not express the intention of giving gifts.

Mrs. Qiao became more and more dissatisfied with her, and with Qiao Ruowan's matter, she began to think: The main room of the second room should also be replaced.

At this time, the mother-in-law stepped forward and handed over the name post and said: "Ancestor, the young owner of the Wang family asked to see him, saying that he was here to give a birthday gift to his cousin." ”

If Su Su heard this, the vegetarian stewed three fresh pills on the chopsticks fell inadvertently.

Wang Chonglin is here?

How did he know about his birth?

Could it be Aunt Wang? She was hiding herself, so what did she mean by letting her nephew come over!

Everyone raised their heads, their eyes swept around Ruosu's face, both scrutinizing and guessing, even the old lady Qiao frowned slightly, it is really not a good thing for a daughter's family to 'attract bees' like this!

But Wang Chonglin is a member of the Wang family, several shops of the Qiao family and the Wang family still have silver dealings, the two families can't talk about personal relations, but they can't be unfamiliar, Aunt Liu is a noble concubine who is carried into the door, not to mention her belly---

Old Madam Qiao thought about it for a while, and then asked Mama Rong and a few first-class maids to go to the front yard and bring Wang Chonglin in.

Qiao Weiyuan's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, he was the best-looking man Ruosu had ever seen in his two lives, even Chu Chen was too masculine, but Qiao Weiyuan was like a humble scholar, and his gestures were both gentle and elegant.

But his eyes always make people unexpectedly stir the spirit.

Ruosu's gaze collided with him, and she noticed his tall physique, the obvious Adam's apple, and the cyan stubble that still came out.

Brother Yuan has grown up!

She looked away, ignoring the speculation.

"Cousin, your face is big enough, cousin, on my birthday last year, I got a topaz paperweight from my eldest brother." Qiao Weixun sighed, and when he sighed that his fate was not good, he did not forget to secretly count Chu's mother.

The birthday of the second son, since only the eldest son remembers!

Chu's hateful teeth itched, but when it was really Mrs. Qiao's face, she could only swallow it in her stomach, there were so many restless concubines waiting for her to clean up in the big room, and there was a Tao family in the second room to maneuver, where would she spare the effort to take care of a second son who was not angry!

Qiao Weimeng put the chopsticks in his hand, made a clear sound, and said to Qiao Weixun: "Second brother, the prince of the Wang family will be here immediately, everyone who comes is a guest, you go with me to greet you." ”

The eldest young master's bearing has always made the maids of Deqiao's Mansion sprout in spring, especially a few slightly better looking people in Chu's room, and I don't know when they will be able to enter the eyes of the eldest young master.

Wei Mingxiang also admires Qiao Weimeng very much, but he is already unmarried, and she is unwilling to --- concubine!

After a while, Wang Chonglin led a few more good-looking maids into the Hanging Flower Gate, these are the hard-working women he bought from dance studios and painting boats in various places, fat and thin, each with its own merits.

Qiao Weimeng personally stepped forward and arched his hand: "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for many days, but you are more free." ”

Qiao Weixun, who was forced to come on the other side, muttered: "Beauties hug each other, can you not be free and easy!" ”

"Second brother!" Qiao Weimeng shouted, and when his eyes fell on the beauties, he slammed down: "This is..."

Wang Chonglin also bowed his hand, and then said: "Brother Qiao, if you don't know, I heard that Cousin Su likes to raise flowers and vegetables the most, this is the old flower farmer I brought from Jinling, and it is also a congratulatory gift I want to give to my cousin today." ”

Qiao Weimeng smiled and shook his head, he had never heard that the birthday gift was 'for mother-in-law'.

However, the young proprietor of the Wang family is not an ordinary person, Qiao Weimeng has heard about this person many times in the mouths of colleagues in the DPRK and China, and he said: "It's still Brother Wang's ingenuity." ”

Wang Chonglin smiled elegantly, and the group soon arrived at Moyaju.

He wore a dark blue plain brocade forging robe, his facial features were charming, and when he walked into the flower hall with a straight figure, Qiao Ruojiao looked up and saw his heroic posture when he was walking, and was stunned by the rose halogen, she pulled Ruosu and asked in a low voice: "He is Aunt Liu's nephew?" It's really... Yushu is in the wind! ”

Qiao Ruojiao doesn't like to go to school, she has no ink in her belly, and the words 'Yushu Linfeng' are already her highest evaluation of men.

Wei Mingxiang also raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Chonglin, and said in her heart: No matter how good it is? In the end, there is no fame!

"Cousin!" Ruosu stood up and said to Wang Chonglin Yingying, but when she saw Wu Niang's face, she couldn't help but say again with joy in her heart: "Cousin can come, Ruosu is happy!" ”

Wang Chonglin knew that the little girl was smart, and some things were not explained, but Ruosu also understood.

He bowed deeply to Old Lady Qiao: "The younger generation has asked the ancestor to say goodbye." ”

The old lady asked him to get up: "Wang Gongzi get up quickly, your aunt has been unwell recently, and she can't come out to see you, you are here with my old woman, but don't be polite." After that, let Mama Rong put the bowl back on.

Wang Chonglin said to Ruo Su at this time: "Cousin, the 'flower farmer' you asked me to find last time has been found, and she will follow you in the future." ”

Wu Niang lowered her head and walked behind Ruosu, after more than ten years, she had already gray hair, but how could her face ---- Ruosu grabbed her hand, and smiled at Wang Chonglin with a calm face: "Thank you, cousin." ”

But some people still remember Wu Niang, and they remember it very clearly.

Tao's lips gradually turned white, and even trembled, wasn't the burn on Wu Niang's face that she used to burn with iron tongs that year! In order to destroy it completely, she branded half of Wu Niang's face!

Old Mrs. Qiao also felt that this old woman was very familiar, but she didn't recognize it because she couldn't see half of her face clearly.

Qiao Weiyuan's eyes were once strange and changeable, this person has never had a confidant, nor has he ever spoken to anyone, no one knows what he really wants and what he wants to do.

"This congratulatory gift from Prince Wang..... It's really unique! He said half-smiling and half-smiling, and when he spoke, his eyes fell on Ruosu's face, and he drank a glass of wine to himself, and then said to Tao: "Mother, your face is not very good, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Qiao Weiyuan's words made the Tao family almost want to flee from Mo Yaju.

"It's okay to --- it, it's just that --- miss your eldest sister." Dow's smile was rather ugly.

As soon as Mrs. Qiao thought of Qiao Ruowan's ugly things, such a granddaughter didn't mention it, so she diverted the topic: "The son of the Wang family is not young, and he is handsome, I don't know if I can say kiss?" Old Mrs. Qiao glanced at Qiao Ruojiao intentionally or unintentionally.

It is really difficult for a person like Qiao Ruojiao to marry into an official family.

Wang Chonglin put his fist to his lips and said with a humble attitude: "I haven't considered it yet." ”

Old Lady Qiao glanced at several beautiful maids behind him, and quickly dispelled the idea of choosing a son-in-law for Qiao Ruojiao. (To be continued.) )
