When Nan Qingxi changed her clothes in her sister's western room and came out, her sister was sitting on the Luohan bed, talking to the two people sitting on the pestle in front of the bed.
When Chen's mother saw Nan Qingxi coming out, she hurriedly came over and whispered something to her.
Nan Qingxi only knew one of these two people, and that was Qiu He.
After listening to Chen's mother's words, she knew that the other person was actually Yu, the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper of Purentang.
When Chen's mother went to call Qiu He, she happened to bring Qiu He's nephew who had just been born to visit her.
At this time, the baby was being held in the arms of Guo's mother in Nan Ruoxi's room.
Nan Qingxi thought to herself, her sister treated Qiu He and Yu so well that she actually set up a pestle for them in front of Luohan's bed, as if she regarded them as old and decent grandmothers!
It's probably all for yourself.
Nan Qingxi hurriedly rushed to Guo's mother's side with a smile, teased the child, and said: "The jade on this child's body, the girl is very good to wear!" β
Yu Shi got busy and bowed and said: "It's really a joke for the girl, this jade was originally brought by the little woman from her mother's house for dowry, and the little woman has always worn it, and this boy likes it, so he gave it to him." β
Nan Qingxi said apologetically: "Ah! It turned out to be a boy, and I was clumsy. It's just that...... It's just not right! β
Qiu He and Yu were both puzzled.
Nan Ruoxi on the Luohan bed understood what her sister meant, she smiled and said: "We saw it today, it is inevitable to say a few words to remind the eldest sister-in-law, this jade is the main yin, it is okay for a woman to wear it, this man will inevitably wear it on his body, it will inevitably be ......."
Nan Ruoxi suddenly clapped her hands and smiled: "Sister, Mother Wang in your room is a skilled craftsman, you took this jade and asked her to use red gold to inlay jade and make gold inlaid jade, which means good." β
Nan Qingxi smiled and said: "Sister's idea is wonderful, I see that my sister-in-law is a kind person, I like this child even more, I must send a Chengxiang to the two of you, this red gold will come out of my room!" β
As she spoke, she went and picked the jade from the child's neck.
Qiu He is a little maid, and now her relatives are treated well by the two young ladies, and she is even more honored.
She and Yu hurriedly got up and thanked her, and said bluntly, "How can you make the girl break the bank!" β
Nan Qingxi took the jade and said, "Two of you will sit here with my sister for a while, and I will come when I go." β
Nan Ruoxi waved at her and scolded with a smile: "You're still worried that your sister won't be able to take care of them, so don't hurry up and start doing it, don't delay your sister-in-law's time!" β
Qiu He and Yu thanked them again, and they were all happy, "Where is the fifth girl, don't dare!" Can't! β
Mother Chen sent Nan Qingxi out and whispered: "The fifth girl sent someone to Madame's place, and the person just sent someone to report it, saying that she met Aunt Li on the way, and she was going to Madame's place, please go to Madame's place quickly!" β
Nan Qingxi walked through an east-west hall to her mother's backyard and entered through the back door.
I saw that the fifth brother Nan Xunche was waiting for his mother Mrs. Zhong who was sitting on the kang to drink tea, and the seventh brother Nan Xunwei was sitting on a chair next to the kang and drinking tea, it seemed that her two brothers were eating at her mother's place today.
Aunt Li stood on the ground at some distance from the kang, and she didn't dare to take a breath.
Nan Qingxi greeted her mother first.
Mrs. Zhong didn't speak, but just pointed to the chair next to the chair where Nan Xunwei was sitting, and motioned for Nan Qingxi to take a seat.
Nan Qingxi sat down, and Fang sat down.
Mrs. Zhong took the tea served by Nan Xunche, took a sip, and handed it back to Nan Xunche before she looked up and talked to Aunt Li.
"You came just in time, I listened to the play in the afternoon, and told them that it is inevitable that they will be bored if they don't understand, and you will understand when you listen to it. It's just that today's drama is really bad, and after listening to half of it, people can't listen to it. Pei'er, you said to listen to Aunt Li, so that she can leave an impression, and the next time you listen to the beginning of this kind of play, you don't have to listen to it. β
Some of the latter words she said were for her eldest girl, Pei'er.
Aunt Li smiled and said, "Yes." β
Pei'er got Mrs. Zhong's order and hurriedly said, "It's not a special story, it's just a clichΓ©." The drama says that there is a princess, she has always been lively, one day she sneaked out of the palace, went to the downtown to play, just play, Mrs. looked at those who sang the opera like this, and she couldn't see it, who knew that they sang the princess to be a thief and steal worthless things, Mrs. couldn't bear to be angry, so she stopped. β
Mrs. Zhong slowly continued: "The text of this play is good, but the further it goes, the more loopholes it becomes. The daughter of a small family still knows how to hide her face on the street, and she will not do the trick of stealing chickens and dogs, not to mention the princess's daughter's body, she knows how to cover her face when she goes to the street, not to mention that there are more than 100 people waiting, at least not less than the people who are waiting for the ladies at home, even if she wants to mess around, where can she be tolerated, and how can she be able to get into the eyes of rare treasures and treasures to her, and how can worthless things get into the eyes, such a contradictory drama, made up nonsense, who can take it seriously! β
Aunt Li sweated a little on her forehead, but she was unwilling.
She knew what Mrs. Zhong meant by this, but she didn't know where Mrs. Zhong got the news in advance.
Aunt Li reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "Although such a drama is nonsense, it is not unfounded. β
Mrs. Zhong nodded with a smile, and said: "I'm afraid that you will listen to such a play, so you believe it to be true, these vulgar things, you remember what to do, you are also an official lady, and you have heard such a thing happen when you were in the boudoir!" β
Aunt Li lowered her chin slightly, paused, and said: "Madame said that she laughed, although my family is not as good as the original Madame's maiden family, but it is also a scholar's family, not to mention that such a thing happened, even if I have never heard of it." β
Pei'er looked at Mrs. Zhong and said, "Madam, where does the princess in the drama still look like a princess, even a squire family can't compare, let alone a scholarly family." β
Aunt Li's face was very embarrassed.
Madame Zhong straightened her sleeves and said, "Then she is not a princess, how could she do such an unruly thing with her background in a princely family." If there is a broken mouth in our family, chewing the root of the tongue of any sister behind his back, I will not spare him. β
Pei'er hurriedly said: "Our young ladies are all 'knowing how to advance and retreat and abiding by the rules', if someone really talks nonsense and ruins the reputation of the young ladies, he will be severely punished." β
Their master and servant sang and harmonized, and Aunt Li was scared to the core.
Mrs. Zhong paused and waved at Aunt Li, "I'm tired, you can go back first!" β
Aunt Li's face suddenly darkened when she heard this.
This is not possible! She can't come here for nothing!
It was easy to grab the handle of Mrs. Zhong's youngest daughter, and let her give up and dream so easily!
Aunt Li knelt down with a "poof" and kowtowed repeatedly.
Mrs. Zhong asked without changing her face, "What are you doing?" β
Aunt Li raised her head, hid her face and sobbed, and cried and said: "The concubine is guilty, the concubine is guilty, the concubine heard something that should not be heard, and she shouldn't have said it, but she was really afraid that Miss Nine would go astray because of this, and it would be difficult to sleep and eat. The concubine heard that our Miss Nine stole a lot of medicine from Purentang, and the concubine didn't believe it, but the person said it well and drew a portrait of Miss Nine, so the concubine had to believe it. β
She said as she pulled out the portrait rolled up in her sleeve.
