Chapter 19 Death is life, and life is death.
“…… I didn't expect you to come in the morning, and you came again in the evening, and you came so early, your sisters have been exempted from morning and dusk for the past few months, and you won't have to run back and forth in the future......" Before Mrs. Zhu finished speaking, a girl reported through the curtain, "Miss Biao is here." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Mrs. Zhu's expression became a little more serious, and she shouted: "What nonsense, isn't Miss Biao sitting in my room!" ”
Xiao Tao's family quietly lifted the curtain and went out, and softly reprimanded a few little girls outside.
"Since I came to my aunt's house, I have never officially asked my aunt to say goodbye, I feel ashamed, restless, I just came, I am afraid that it will be too late, and it will be too late to remedy." Nan Qingxi got up and saluted Mrs. Zhu.
Mrs. Zhu smiled and grabbed her: "You girl." ”
Xiao Tao's family walked in with a smile and replied, "It's Sister Wen and Sister Fei who are here, and I want to say hello to my wife." ”
Mrs. Zhu's face turned slightly pale, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said slowly: "Please come in!" ”
Xiao Tao's family responded on the one hand, and brought two people in on the other.
As soon as the two of them came in, they ran left and right to sit on the edge of Mrs. Zhu's couch, pulled Mrs. Zhu's sleeve, and shouted coquettishly, "Auntie-"
Mrs. Zhu's face changed, and she raised her eyelids a little impatiently to look at Xiao Tao's family, Xiao Tao's family was a little stunned, and hurriedly said: "Two girls, the guests are here, why are you coquettish in front of your aunt." ”
"Meet your sister of the Nan family," Mrs. Zhu's smile was very amiable, and she looked at Nan Qingxi again and said, "These are the two sisters of your Aunt Qin's family. ”
Nan Qingxi hurriedly got up again and came to greet the two sisters of the Qin family, and the two sisters of the Qin family hurriedly stood up and got to know each other.
Nan Qing Xi only knew that it was Aunt Qin's eldest girl, Qin Wen, who was wearing a high bun with three or four golden hairpins, a concubine-colored cloud goose pattern makeup jacket, and a jade-colored skirt. Wearing a high bun full of beaded flowers, a red dress with brocade makeup and embroidered jackets, and a goose-yellow threaded skirt is Aunt Qin's little girl Qin Fei.
The four of them chatted for a while.
Nan Qingxi sat for a while, then got up and retreated, and Mrs. Zhu was busy leaving her to eat.
Nan Qingxi said with a smile: "My aunt cherishes me, it's not that I don't know, it's just that the condition of the **** before I greet my aunt in the future has improved, and after that, I will no longer use dinner." If I had received food from my aunt today, it would not have had much impact on me, but if my illness worsened, my uncle would have lost my aunt's kindness and hurt the friendship between my uncle and my aunt. ”
Mrs. Zhu nodded and said, "That's it, you go back and have a good rest, in the future, just rest assured that living is the same as at home, you don't need to be restrained, you remember that you are not in good health and don't have to come to say hello to me, I asked the mother-in-law to clean up a bright house, the house you live in now is too simple, you can move over." ”
Xiao Tao's family saw the opportunity to hand over a colorful gold box to Mrs. Zhu, and Mrs. Zhu gave it to Nan Qingxi with a smile, "You have been here for a long time, and my aunt has nothing valuable to give you. ”
Nan Qingxi smiled and thanked her and said goodbye, Mrs. Zhu instructed Xiao Tao's family to lead the way for her, but she asked the girls and mothers-in-law to prepare dinner.
Nan Qingxi listened to Xiao Tao's family's courteous introduction of various houses along the way, and she just smiled and nodded, "Miss Nan, this is the Xuemanlou where several young ladies from our long house who have not left the pavilion live. ”
While supporting Nan Qingxi, Hongjian asked with interest: "I wonder how many young ladies in the family of my uncle's wife have not yet left the cabinet?" ”
At this time, Xiao Tao's family had already led everyone into a sandwich road, Nan Qingxi only felt that his spirit was not good, and he didn't pay attention to the surrounding houses, so he followed into the west gate to the hall, and then entered the main gate.
Although Xiao Tao's footsteps were fast, his mouth did not stop, "There are only two young ladies in each of the long room and the third room in our house, and two young ladies from Aunt Qin's family are here, and there are six young ladies who have not yet left the cabinet." ”
After Xiao Tao's family finished speaking, they stopped, waited for Nan Qingxi and others to come forward, and after holding her other arm and passing through the verandah inside, Xiao Tao's family said with a smile on their faces: "This is the yard that our wife has newly cleaned up for the girl." ”
Nan Qingxi looked at the bluestone plaque of "Lotus Fragrance Building" embedded in the south wall, surrounded by lotus reliefs, and before she had time to take a closer look, a maid and a woman would come out, and the red note helped her in.
Xiao Taojia smiled politely, "Girl, let's rest, I'm going to go back to my wife and serve my wife for dinner." ”
Nan Qingxi smiled and exchanged a few words with her, and sent her out with a red note.
When the red note came back, Aunt Qin's eldest girl, Qin Wen, was complaining about something with Nan Qingxi. It turned out that Qin Wen had been to Zhending a few years ago and asked Mrs. Zhong to stay in the mansion as a guest for a long time, and she was very familiar with the Nan sisters. When I saw Nan Qingxi in Mrs. Zhu's house, I learned that she was also a guest at her uncle's house, and when she returned, she also retired, and hurriedly came over to gossip with her.
“…… It's a big shelf, let my sister send someone to send her, is she also worthy, is she going to talk to her sister about her status in this family or seniority, and she doesn't weigh how many pounds and taels she has, and she pouts what kind of Rausch her aunt sent, it can be worth a few dollars, she can make a profit from it......"
The red note ran to her, looked at her in surprise, and interrupted her, "Miss Cousin, beware of the ears on the wall?" ”
Nan Qingxi seemed to have recovered some of her spirits, sat on the chair and knocked on the melon seeds, and said with a smile: "Let her go, Cousin Wen has been holding back for so long, she has to vent for a while, it's me here, she can have a good time, you say that she is a disproportionate, and if she doesn't stare at the left and right, she will never have a seizure." ”
Qin Wen's maid was worried, and she was also a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhu, "Speaking of which, this Xie family doesn't know if it's really shabby or wants to give us and Miss Nan a dismissal, and the tea that Miss Fang Cai drank in her uncle's house was not drunk by the rough mother-in-law in the kitchen of our house." ”
Nan Qingxi just pursed her lips and smiled, "The guest is as good as the host, the guest is as good as the host!" ”
The red note stuck out his tongue at Nan Qingxi, and put away the colorful gold-painted box given to Nan Qingxi by Mrs. Zhu who had just fallen on the table by Qin Wen, Qin Wen hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully, and was relieved to see that the thing was not damaged.
When Nan Qingxi saw it, she laughed out loud, pointed at Qin Wen and said to Wu'er: "Look, you girls are so well-behaved when they get angry!" ”
The red note couldn't help but smile, and said jokingly: "The girl is the cousin, I'm afraid that nothing in our house will be intact in the future." ”
Nan Qingxi just smiled and didn't speak.
When Qin Wen saw the red note passing by by her again, she scolded with a smile, "The red note is a jealous person, your girl is indulged in me, if you want to cry, don't cry in front of me!" ”
After Qin Wen finished speaking, she smiled and twisted the cheeks of the red note, and the red note said: "That cousin girl has to worry, I may cry at your bedside all night tonight." ”
Qin Wen hurriedly said to forgive, "Good red note, you can spare me this time." Then he took the pestle and found the needlework, and several people sat around the couch and began to do needlework.
I don't know when, the laughter of the four masters and servants interrupted the shouts of the girls outside, "The eighth girl is here!" ”
