On the second day of junior high school, also known as the day of welcoming the son-in-law, Cheng Rui accompanied the eldest lady and led several children back to the eldest lady's mother's house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 When the info person arrived at the Qu Mansion, the old lady of the Qu family had already sent someone to wait in front of the door. As soon as she got out of the carriage, a mother-in-law stepped forward and saluted with a smile, and said: "The old lady has been waiting for a long time, and she has sent a slave to wait at the door, saying that she will let her into the house as soon as she sees the eldest aunt and grandmother coming." ”
The eldest lady smiled when she heard this, and said to Cheng Rui: "Mother must be in a hurry." ”
Cheng Rui smiled, and asked the mother-in-law again: "Is the old lady here?" ”
The mother-in-law replied, "The old lady is in the front yard." ”
Cheng Rui said: "Then you go to see your mother-in-law first, and I'll go and say hello to your father-in-law." ”
The eldest lady nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will take Zixue and them to my mother first." Zihang, they will go with you to see your father first. ”
The two agreed and went their separate ways.
The eldest lady was obviously quite familiar with her mother's family, and she didn't need her mother-in-law to guide the way, so she led a few children all the way to the old lady Qu's courtyard.
After passing the Hanging Flower Gate, and then passing through the long verandah, Zi Mo lowered his head all the way and followed behind the people, and it was not difficult to see that Qu Mansion was still quite prosperous when he looked at the scenery along the way. Pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and painted bamboos, rockeries and stubborn stones, everything. I met people all the way, and they all bowed down to the eldest lady one by one, and the eldest lady waved her hand, and crossed over without looking.
When I arrived at Mrs. Qu's courtyard, before I entered the door, someone came out of the house and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandma has come back and seen Grandma." And he said, "The old lady is in the house, so go in quickly." ”
Qu Shi smiled and picked up the person: "Mama Yu has been in good health recently?" ”
"Okay, it's all good, Aunt Lao and Grandma are worried, the slave and maid are in good health." The person named Mama Yu was waiting in front of Mrs. Qu, "The old lady has been talking early in the morning, aunt and grandmother go in quickly." With that, he naturally turned around and raised the curtain of the door.
The eldest lady took the opportunity to enter the house, and there were already several people sitting in the house. When she saw Mrs. Qu, the eldest lady's face was warm, and when she saw the woman beside Mrs. Qu, the eldest lady's face paused, her brows twitched, and in a very short second, she called Zi Mo to see it.
Zi Mo couldn't help but wonder, it is said that all the people sitting here today are the eldest lady's family, who would dislike the eldest lady?
"Erniang has lost weight." The first sentence of the old lady Qu was that Mrs. Dao was too thin.
The eldest lady's eyes were red, and the woman next to her who was about to step forward immediately answered: "What did my mother say, the eldest sister has wide shoulders and round arms, how can she be thin when she is fat?" After speaking, he peeled a longan and put it in his mouth.
The eldest lady paused, lifted half of her foot and stopped on the ground.
Zi Mo lowered his head and pursed his lips to hold back a laugh.
"Sanniang." Old Lady Qu frowned and looked at her little daughter beside her warningly.
Xiao Qu said "um", continued to eat her little longan, and didn't listen to it much, and at the end, he said to Mama Yu: "Mama, I'm thirsty, change me a cup of hot tea." Think about it and add, "I want Tieguanyin." ”
Mama Yu nodded in response, and Old Lady Qu looked at her and frowned.
"When did you come back?" The eldest lady was full of joy, and when she saw her only sister, most of it disappeared. Now you're welcome, I found a seat to sit on, and a few children stood aside quite awkwardly, or Mrs. Qu greeted and said a few words, and pulled Cheng Zixue and Cheng Ziyun's hands with concern.
Zi Mo was so happy that no one noticed, sitting in the corner and looking at Xiao Qu.
"I came much earlier than you, sister." Mama Yu brought a cup of Tieguanyin again and came in to Xiao Qu's, who replied to the eldest lady casually while drinking tea, "I came over before I even ate breakfast, just to come back to accompany my mother to eat." ”
The eldest lady continued to twitch the corners of her eyes: "What about my brother-in-law?" Why didn't I come with you? ”
"Talk to your father in front of me. What about brother-in-law? Why didn't you come with your sister? Xiao Qu tilted his head and stared at the eldest lady with interest.
"Your brother-in-law is also talking to your father in front." The eldest lady gritted her teeth.
"Oh." Xiao Qu dragged his voice, quite regretful, and remembered something, and said eagerly, "What about Brother Hang?" Are you here? ”
"Also in front." The big lady clenched her back molars.
"Then Brother Hang will come to my mother to say hello later, right? Yaoyao is here today. Xiao Qu Shi looked left and right, lowered his voice and thought in pieces, "Really, where have people gone?" He added, "They cousins haven't seen each other for a long time, so they should get together." Especially Brother Hang, it's rare to be at home, so you have to ask him to guide Yaoyao well. ”
The eldest lady resisted the urge to roll her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Yaoyao is a girl, what can he guide." ”
"Look, my sister said that." Xiao Qu said, "I only have one child, Yaoyao, although I am a girl, but I can only count on her, so naturally it is harmless to learn more." ”
"Who's talking about me?" A voice came from the doorway.
As soon as Zi Mo looked up, he saw a little girl walking in with a big grin, looking quite like Xiao Qu's, only slightly younger, wearing a big red brocade robe, and a string of purple coral beads hanging around her neck, which was quite gorgeous.
"Yaoyao, I've seen your aunt soon." Xiao Qu saw someone coming and hurriedly beckoned to her.
"Hello aunt." Mo Yaoyao screamed sweetly.
"Hmm." The eldest lady saw that Mo Yaoyao's expression softened a lot, but it was only for a moment, and the next second she was stunned by Mo Yaoyao's words.
"Auntie's red envelope." Mo Yaoyao stretched out her hand and spread it in front of the eldest lady.
Is there such a blatant request for red envelopes?
Zi Mo sneered vigorously, hanging his head and shaking his shoulders.
It's really worthy of being a mother and daughter, how to come directly!
The eldest lady's face turned from white to red, and then from red to black, and slowly took off a jade bracelet from her hand, and said word by word: "I went out in a hurry, and I didn't prepare another red envelope, so take this bracelet as a New Year's gift from my aunt." ”
"The same thing, the same thing, we don't pick this one." Xiao Qu said, "Your aunt will accept what she gives, don't be too polite." ”
"Thank you, auntie." Mo Yaoyao took the bracelet, thanked her, and looked at it in front of the eldest lady for a long time, not very likely, and threw it to Xiao Qu Shi again, "Mother, you can help me keep it." ”
Xiao Qu nodded: "Then the mother will take it for you." As he spoke, he put a set on his wrist and put it down.
The eldest lady almost didn't give a white eye directly.
Old Lady Qu sighed, she really didn't have a way to do this two sisters.
The big ladies here are talking with Mrs. Qu, and over there Cheng Rui and Cheng Zihang and the others have already met with Mrs. Qu.
The group came to Mrs. Qu to greet her, and as soon as they entered the door, they were baptized by the eyes of many people.
Old Mrs. Qu didn't say a word, and Xiao Qu shouted to Cheng Zihang: "Brother Hang, come over to my aunt and ask my aunt to take a look." ”
The eldest lady swept over with a sweep of her eyes and stared at Xiao Qu with warning.
Xiao Qu didn't see it directly, he pulled Mo Yaoyao with one hand, and was about to pull Cheng Zihang with the other, Cheng Zihang avoided it without a trace, saluted, and called: "Auntie." ”
Xiao Qu looked at him and smiled with satisfaction: "It's hard to study in the academy, right?" Go home and get some rest. Come to your aunt's house to play if you have nothing to do, your cousin is bored at home alone, and it just so happens that you come back and play with the two of you, and you have a companion. ”
Mo Yaoyao stared at this cousin curiously from the side.
Cheng Zihang half-lowered his eyes and said politely: "Men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven." ”
"Oh, you're your own relatives, don't pay attention to those." Xiao Qu didn't care.
"Brother Hang, come to my grandmother and ask my grandmother to take a look." Seeing that her eldest daughter's eyes were hidden in anger, Mrs. Qu hurriedly rescued Cheng Zihang.
Cheng Zihang hugged his fists at Xiao Qu and walked towards Old Lady Qu.
"Thin." Old Lady Qu looked at him and said, "It's hard to study outside alone, right?" ”
"It's not hard." Cheng Zihang replied.
"Your child has been independent and sensible since he was a child, and he never worries about others. Your father and your mother taught you well. Mrs. Qu sighed, thinking of a few unconscious people in the family for a while, and felt more and more that Cheng Zihang was excellent, and it was no wonder that Xiao Qu, who had always had a tricky eye, was satisfied with Cheng Zihang.
Cheng Zihang suddenly became the moon of the stars, surrounded by the crowd, talking about long and short, and asking for warmth.
The rest of the sisters were temporarily left out of the encirclement.
Cheng Ziyun ran to Zi Mo and sat down, leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Big brother is really getting bigger and more popular." I was jealous before, but now it's too late to be grateful. With him here, no one pulls me to say this and that nagging anymore. ”
Zi Mo sneered.
Throughout the day, Zi Mo was like a transparent person and did not attract any attention at all.
After eating with the large army in Qu Mansion, the group left the house and went home.
However, Xiao Qu pulled Cheng Zihang to make an appointment to take Mo Yaoyao to the Lantern Festival on the day of the Lantern Festival.
The eldest lady couldn't refuse, so she had to agree according to her emotions.
