Lan Xiang and his wife, as soon as they entered the house, they first went to Fushoutang to visit Mrs. Lan, and then they arrived at the three-room Wuyuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mrs. Lan was considerate of the reunion of the people in the three rooms and one room after a long absence, so she deliberately said that she did not want to disturb their family reunion, so she did not leave Lan Xiang and his wife to have dinner in Fushoutang, and let the three rooms arrange their own arrangements.

Therefore, the third wife also acted cheaply, so she decided to entertain the new aunt in Luwuyuan. As soon as I returned to the house yesterday, the third wife first put the small kitchen out, everything was ready, this morning Aunt Qiu took the flowers, went to the housekeeper in charge of purchasing, handed over the order, paid, when Lan Xiang and his wife came, the fresh ingredients and melons were just delivered to the small kitchen.

The third lady told Aunt Qiu to prepare a menu, and after she looked at it, she made two slight changes, and the small kitchen was busy.

The third lady called Aunt Qiu to the upper room, and after a few words, Hua'er came to report in person that the table had been prepared. The third wife asked people to build tables and chairs in the flower hall, and erected a screen in the middle. The third master and the fourth master accompanied the new aunt at the table outside, and the female dependents sat in the screen.

It stands to reason that they are all a family, and it is not necessary to sit together. But when the third wife saw that Wu Kun was very shy, she was afraid that she would not be able to let go of them together; Second, Lanxi's aunt is now older after all, and she should say that she is the eldest girl of her mother-in-law's family, and she has to avoid it; Third, even the third wife herself can't say it, that is, in her heart, not everyone can get along with her family like Geng Xiwu.

Fortunately, Lan Xiang was afraid that he also knew that the third wife took into account Wu Kun's temperament, and he was very sorry for such an arrangement, and he was more and more grateful to the third wife for not saying anything.

Eat silently, sleep silently. A meal, the guests and the host are happy.

At the end of the meal, the third master drank two more glasses because he was happy, and the wine was up, so he became more and more interested, and took his son-in-law and son to the outer study, saying that he wanted to appreciate the painting and comment. The third wife couldn't stop it, so she could only let it.

Lan Xiang took the opportunity to propose to go to Lan Xi's room to sit down.

Lan Xiang is now a married aunt, and when she returns home, she is a coquette, and the third wife naturally nodded without saying a word. When the two sisters arrived at the Pearl Jade Pavilion, they took off their outer clothes by their respective big maids, and then went inside. The Pearl Jade Pavilion has been roughly regularized, but it has not been inhabited for a long time, and there is still a trace of mildew, Qin's mother is bringing a few girls to pick some plum blossoms and come back to insert the bottle.

When Lan Xiang saw it, he looked at the melons and fruits placed on the table again, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Fifth sister really doesn't like incense, just right, those bergamot I brought today taste good, and they are very fresh and smelly in the house, but they are very suitable for my sister." ”

Lan Xi naturally accepted her affection, after all, this bergamot is also a rare thing in the capital, and the Wu family is said to have been sent by a protégé of Wu Shangshushu, but I am afraid that there are not many, Lan Xiang can even out a few, and bring all of them to her, that is thinking about her, and it also shows that Lan Xiang is still good in Shangshu Mansion, and Lan Xi is naturally happy.

The sisters took off their shoes and climbed onto the kang. There was a needlework basket on the kang table, in which there were scissors and various colored silk threads, as well as some unfinished needles and threads, so Lan Xiang picked them up and looked at them.

Lan Xi gave Qin's mother a look, Qin's mother understood, and found an excuse to send the girls out, and after a while, brought tea and pastries, and then withdrew, took only half of the shoes, sat on the edge of the blue yarn cupboard with an embroidered pier, and guarded the door in person.

Lan Xi poured a cup of hot tea herself, and white smoke rose up, hitting her half-drooping eyelashes, filling her with a wet mist. Lan Xi glanced at the tumbling tea leaves in the white porcelain tea bowl of Dingyao, pushed the tea bowl towards Lan Xiang, and then asked in a low voice, "Third sister has something to say to me?" ”

"The embroidery work of the fifth sister is still as bright as before, the pattern is chic, the color is bold, the stitches are fine, and it is even more first-class, but, I don't know if this movement is slow but it is still the same as before?" Lan Xiang put down the needle and thread in his hand, looked at Lan Xidao with a smile, and there was no intimate ridicule in his words, when Lan Xi first learned needlework with Yan's mother, he worked hard, at first he practiced a stitch flush, and every day ten index fingers were poked all over the eye of the needle, but since he learned it, he occasionally did needlework, but the action was very slow, many times, he couldn't make a purse in a month, Lan Xiang was used to being good friends with her, but he made fun of her because of this, fortunately, Lan Xiang knew how to measure, and Lan Xi was never stingy, The sisters have never been angry about this, let alone turned their faces.

It's the same this time, Lan Xi just smiled indifferently after hearing this, "Third sister doesn't know, do you work slowly?" Before the third sister got married, I helped my sister embroider the skirt, does my brother-in-law still like it? ”

Lan Xiang's face turned red, and he glanced at Lan Xi with disgust, "You narrow ghost, I can't mean you." That's it, that's it, I just don't think about how to live if you are still so abrasive when you embroider the dowry. ”

Lan Xi's half-drooping eyes were dark, and he thought to himself, he finally mentioned a stubble, so he raised his head, stared at Lan Xiang calmly, and said, "Third sister, there is no need to hide and entangle between you and my sisters, if you have anything to say, you can say it bluntly." ”

Lan Xiang was silent, and after a while, he sighed and said, "I didn't want to say it, but after thinking about it, I have to tell you about it." Soon after I arrived in Beijing, my uncle's family came to put on my makeup, and when I got married, my uncle and cousin came to drink the wedding wine. ”

The uncle and cousin in Lan Xiang's mouth naturally have nothing to do with Aunt Qiu, and the relatives of the concubines are not relatives, so Lan Xi naturally understands. However, after all, the third sister is the eldest daughter of her father, her aunt came to add makeup to her, and her uncle and cousin gave her a marriage, which is all taken for granted, why do you want to say it? Lan Xi couldn't hide his doubts and looked at Lan Xiang.

"On the day of the wedding, there were many people, and there was a person named Changtai next to my cousin, and somehow I found Lamei next to me, asked about you, and gave a congratulatory gift, saying that it was my cousin's own heart. I didn't care about it at the time, and when I was free after three days of returning to the door and putting away these things, I opened the box that my cousin had sent that day. ”

Hearing Lan Xiang say this, Lan Xi could already roughly guess what Lan Xiang was going to say, and sighed helplessly at the moment, how could she feel that her cousin was stable before? My cousin is not a bad person, but he hasn't gotten rid of his immaturity and is not thoughtful enough!

Sure enough, Lan Xiang paused for a moment, and then continued, "There is a set of red gold inlaid beaded heads made of Baoyin Building in the box, and there is also a letter, but it is written 'Cousin Xi personally opened'. (To be continued.) )
