The pine and cypress hall that was originally deserted has been really lively these days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know who spread the news that Xiangyue is going to get married, but there are those who come to inquire about Xin'er, watch the excitement, and there are also those who are really good with Xiangyue and come to visit her, there are always three or four a day. Xiangyue put on a cold face, with the strength of a broken jar, and no one likes to ignore it. It's only bitter like smoke, whether it's a girl or a housekeeper, they all have to be treated with good tea and water, but they are not afraid of offending them, but behind them, there are great gods.

For these uninvited "guests", Xiangyue is naturally annoying, but it is not a bad thing for Brother Ying. Originally, she was not familiar with these people in the backyard, but in this way, many people recognized their faces as familiar, and besides, when they came, they did not blindly inquire about the news, but also brought out some news when they were talking with Ruyan. Brother Ying was waiting beside him, although he couldn't speak, he pricked up his ears and heard a lot of things. For example, this incident of Xiangyue, Brother Ying originally thought that she was the only one who wanted to leave the house, but from the mouth of Huang's mother in the big kitchen, Brother Ying knew that there were several girls who were going to be released this time, except for two who were very old, and they would be delayed if they didn't marry, and the rest were the ones who spoke in front of the master, who were particularly powerful and especially protective of the master. Brother Ying secretly pondered, it seems that Xiangyue is the latter kind. Originally, Aunt Zhang was silent on weekdays, Xiangyun was also a pressur, Chunxiao was An Rongtang's, Fengxi couldn't speak, so calculated, among these big girls in Longxiangyuan, Xiangyue was a top picker, and she helped Aunt Zhang everywhere, lest the master suffer, from the perspective of the eldest lady, of course such a girl could not stay. It's a pity that Xiangyue herself can't understand it, and blindly thinks that someone sees her as unsatisfactory and deliberately makes it bad, but she doesn't know that it is the eldest lady who offends.

Of course, Brother Ying won't say these words to Xiangyue, but thinking that since she arrived in Longxiangyuan, Xiangyue has taken good care of herself, watching her frown every day, and she is also a little worried, but there is no good way for a while.

In a blink of an eye, it was August 14, and Shi Yuan was sent to school this morning, but Shi Yuan pouted and was reluctant to go out. Ruyan knew that he was going to take the exam today, and he felt uncomfortable, so he had to coax him with kind words, "Little ancestor, I will get out of school this afternoon, and I am patient for a long time, starting from tomorrow, with you to play, hurry up and go out, the little ones outside the second gate should wait for a while." ”

Shi Yuan pouted, "Every year on August 14th, there is an exam, and Mr. Zhang, who is 'mean and married', just doesn't want us to have a good holiday." ”

Brother Ying prepared paper, ink, pen and inkstone for him on the side, and asked curiously, "Why do you say that this Mr. Zhang is 'mean and has a family', and his family is very poor?" ”

Ruyan next to him laughed, "Speaking of this Mr. Zhang, he is also a person with a story." ”

Shi Yuan carried his schoolbag in one hand, said, "Wait for me to come back for dinner at noon", raised his feet and left. Ruyan didn't know what to think of, so she hurriedly went out and instructed.

Brother Ying was still standing there studying the four words "mean family", and he turned around and came back like smoke, and Brother Ying was still tilting his head in a daze.

"Just walked a madman, and there's another fool here. Ming'er has a holiday, don't you help your sister Xiangyue work, you should be scolded again in a while. I don't know if your sister Xiangyue is in a bad mood these days. ”

Brother Ying smiled and said, "Sister Xiangyue went to my aunt and grandmother early in the morning, saying that she asked her to lead the little girls to visit the door." Good sister, tell me about Mr. Zhang, why have I never heard of the word 'mean family', from that allusion? ”

Ruyan laughed at her, "How many books have you read again?" Know a few allusions? I also heard what Young Master Yuan said about this Mr. Zhang. Said that this Mr. Zhang, is a virtuous two-year list of talents, very knowledgeable, but also a talent, is a little stubborn, the official does not know to flatter the boss, win over the subordinates, outspoken, offended people, let people participate in a book, now the emperor's will to cut the post for the people, we will cherish the talent, pay a lot of money to the Luyuan Academy, to these high-ranking officials and nobles of the children of Mr. This Mr. Zhang, there is a particularly powerful lady in the family, who is very stingy in dealing with things, always suspecting that others take advantage of her, and when the next person eats more, he will be beaten and scolded, once Mr. Zhang said that his wife is not favorable, she said: 'When the family must be mean to start a family! When Mr. Zhang heard it, he was furious, slapped the table and asked, 'What's next?' Later, I don't know who reported it, and the general also took the decision and gave the lady a leave of absence. I didn't know that the poor guy in the school gave Mr. Zhang a nickname, called 'mean family'. ”

Brother Ying smiled and said, "This lady is really knowledgeable, she is stingy, and she can still quote scriptures, I don't know what the next sentence of 'mean family' is." ”

"I also heard what Young Master Yuan said, saying what 'no reason to enjoy for a long time', I don't know what it means."

Brother Ying tilted his head and thought, "It shouldn't be long-term." ”

"Those who read books, they all quote scriptures when they speak, who knows what it means."

The two of them were chatting, and a little girl from Songbaitang suddenly ran in, "Sister, do you hear a big story?" ”

Ruyan frowned, "If you have something to say, what are you running, relying on the fact that Young Master Yuan is not at home, and he doesn't even have a steady momentum, what is the big accident?" ”

The little girl was scolded, stood at the door with her head bowed and didn't dare to go forward, while gasping for breath, while studying how to say, "Just now, Sister Xiangyue sent me to Luyupu to lead the young master's pen and ink money this month, I got there to see, the eldest young grandmother was not there, Qinglian, Qingliu, Qingyun, Qingyue The four sisters were not there, I didn't come back from the left, and I didn't come back from the right, and when I was in a hurry, the little girl Lian'er suddenly ran back, and I didn't know what to say to Mother Wang in their house, and Mother Wang left in a panic, The little girls in the yard are also mysterious......"

Ruyan interrupted her impatiently, "What the hell are you going to say?" ”

The little girl swallowed and spit, as if she didn't know where to start, so she simply skipped the process and said directly, "An Rongtang's Chunxian was tied up by the eldest lady and wanted to be killed." ”

"What?" Ruyan stood up suddenly, "Because of what?" ”

The little girl tilted her head and thought, "Later, I secretly inquired with the girls in Luyupu, saying that she stole something from the eldest lady's house, and said that it was because she was disobedient, and Qiu Zhen was stubborn, quarreled, and fought, and said that there was nothing to say, and they said that a young grandmother must not be idle today, so let me go to get the silver another day." ”

Ruyan looked at Brother Ying blankly, and Brother Ying also looked at her.

"Sister Ruyan, then I'll go to get the silver again tomorrow, or go to Luyupu and wait?" The little girl was still standing at the door, looking at the two of them stupidly.

"Good sister, there is no hurry to get the silver, it's not too late to get it after the festival, you can go and rest." Brother Ying took it upon himself to send the little girl, turned around and asked Ruyan, "What's going on?" ”

Ruyan came back to her senses, "Brother Ying, you go to Longxiang Garden, see if Chunxiao is there, talk to her, and see if she knows." ”

Brother Ying bit his fingers, "Sister Xiangyue doesn't want to marry some cousin of that Chun Qian, if something really happens to her today, can the eldest lady still let Xiangyue marry her?" ”

"It's hard to say, this little girl is too small to speak, you can't speak clearly, you go and inquire about the news. Slow down, don't worry, if Chunxiao doesn't know, you can come back, think about what to say, don't worry. ”

"Hey, got it." Brother Ying hurriedly packed up and got up and went to the direction of Longxiang Garden.

When I arrived at Longxiang Garden, I didn't expect that there were only a few little girls and rough mothers-in-law left, and Xiangyun and they all followed their aunts and grandmothers to Anrong Hall. Brother Ying turned around, but he didn't find anyone who could speak, he was spinning around like a fly without a head, and he was so happy that he came in from outside. As soon as she saw Brother Ying, she didn't have a good face, "Yo, isn't this Brother Ying's girl?" ”

When Brother Ying saw that she was coming back from outside, he couldn't care about her attitude, so he hurriedly rushed forward and asked, "Sister Fengxi, did you come back from An Rongtang?" ”

Feng Xi glared at her, "What's the matter, while Ming'er is going to have a holiday, do you want to go to the eldest lady to play tricks and sell fast, hmph, there are more smart people in front of the eldest lady, it's your turn there, and you can stop waiting." As he spoke, he ignored Yingge, squirmed, and went into the house alone.

An old woman who swept the floor came up and whispered to Brother Ying, "Tomorrow's August Festival, my aunt gave her a day off, and asked her to go back to her parents to say goodbye, but I didn't expect to come back in half a day, if you want to inquire about the news, and ask others." ”

When Brother Ying heard it, it turned out that he came back from outside the house, so he didn't know anything, so let's wait for Xiangyue and them to come back.
