Chapter 159: Marriage
"Auntie, I was walking around the city with Yi'er just now, and I occasionally ate this snack very well. As soon as www.biquge.info I inquired about it, I found out that this was a famous orange cake in Huzhou, and I thought that my aunt also liked to eat pastries on weekdays, so I brought some back. Fu Xiuyun smiled and presented a paper bag.
The third lady smiled, "You kid has a heart, and you still think about your aunt when you go out." While speaking, the girl who replaced Mei Xiang next to the third wife, called Huan'er, had already taken the paper bag with a very eye-catching look, and went down to serve it on a plate. The snow-white and crystalline pastries are set against the porcelain plate with red apricots painted on a white background, which is more and more transparent and jade-like, exquisite and lovely. The third lady gracefully picked up a piece, put it to her lips, and bit it gently, a sweet rose orange fragrance spread in her mouth, "It's really soft and glutinous and sweet, but it's sweet but not greasy, it should be from the old Zhang Ji on Chaoyang Street, right?" Brother Yun is very knowledgeable, this old Zhang Ji, but he is an expert in making this orange cake in Huzhou City. ”
"So my aunt knows? It seems to be a regular meal on weekdays? Fu Xiuyun raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Auntie, I love this sweet, and your cousins love to eat it too, so it's inevitable that you often buy it back to eat." The third lady smiled, "Especially this orange cake, we also have pastries in our house, but it is not as good as the old Zhang Ji to buy, I am afraid that there is some secret recipe, so I tried a few times and was not as good as others, and then I simply did not do it, I wanted to eat it and buy it, and I was already a frequent visitor to Lao Zhang Ji, so I could guess the taste as soon as I ate it." ”
"The girl's family likes to eat sweet, and my sister Yi also likes it very much, but now she is so happy, she shouts that Jiangnan is delicious. I think it's a lot to her taste. But I see, this Jiangnan pastry does have a unique feature, not to mention this exquisiteness, the taste is also good, otherwise my brother Yun didn't have a bite of sweetness in the past, and I still like to eat this pastry recently. Mrs. Fu said on the side, and deliberately handed Fu Xiuyun a somewhat meaningful look, the latter's eyes flashed slightly, but he still smiled slightly.
"Really? I just remembered that Brother Yun didn't like sweets since he was a child, right? After so many years in the blink of an eye, my aunt almost forgot about it. The third lady said suddenly.
"I like it now." Mrs. Fu also laughed, "By the way, didn't you say that those girls all love this sweet?" You see, did they give them a share of it, or did they call them here to eat? ”
"Let's send them to the room, it's always a cousin's heart. It's just that now, Sister Xiang is busy embroidering wedding dresses, the two little ones are in the school, and Aqing is not in the house, so it's better to send them cheaply. ”
"What? Isn't Sister Xi in the house? Mrs. Fu was very surprised, and even Fu Xiuyun quietly raised her eyebrows.
"Yes! Her father gave her a gentleman, it was Mr. Lu, Brother Yun should know, right? Earlier, Mr. Lu came to report to the person, saying that Mr. was sick, he had no wife and no children, no one to take care of, but he was also a close friend of my lord, Mr. Aqing's brothers and sisters, so he was usually regarded as an elder in the family, so A-Qing had rushed over to take care of him at this time, and he would stay there for a few days. ”
Mrs. Fu twisted her eyebrows slightly, looked at the third wife, but saw that her expression was relaxed, there was nothing unusual, she groaned for a long time, and finally spoke, "Qingyang Lan is really a family of filial piety...... It's just, sister, Sister Xi is a girl after all, wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to take care of that gentleman? ”
The third wife is not as good as before, how can she not hear the meaning of Mrs. Fu's words, and immediately felt that the orange cake in her mouth was not so delicious, and threw the pastry back on the plate, the third wife pulled the corners of her mouth, but her smile was no longer as sincere as before, "Sister-in-law, I have been very strict with the rules of my family since I was a child, you know, the mother Qin next to her is specially invited from the palace to raise the grandmother." As for taking care of Mr. Lu, it's not what Ah Qing means, it's what my lord and I mean, not only Ah Qing, but Brother Hao and Brother Xun will also go over later, and there are two brothers following, so I'm no longer afraid of those gossips, right? ”
This was not very polite, Mrs. Fu couldn't help but sneer, fortunately, she is a sister-in-law, she still knows something, the most protective short, she said that her top heart does not understand the rules, no wonder she is in a hurry with her. It's just that, in the final analysis, she is also kind enough to remind her, after all, a girl's reputation is the most important. Mrs. Fu couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart, and wanted to get up and leave, after all, she didn't want to stay and be bored. However, when he raised his eyes, he just met his son's dejected face, and he frowned fiercely at the moment, but he didn't get up, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and after a while, he calmed down and said, "Sister Xi'er's rules are good." It's just that I see that my brother-in-law and sister attach great importance to Sister Xi, I remember that Sister Xi'er's birthday was shortly after the Dragon Boat Festival, right? In this way, it won't be long before she will be a fourteen-year-old girl! I don't know, do you have any thoughts about her marriage? ”
The third wife's temper has always come and gone quickly, and she is her sister-in-law, and she is also kind-hearted, and she couldn't help but lose her anger when she heard Mrs. Fu's first sentence. Now when she asked her about the question that she had been worried about, she couldn't help but vomit bitter water, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, when you talk about this, you're about to die of worry." You say, this girl's family is married, it is the most important thing in her life. You have to pick people, but also pick the family background, one is to have a clean family background, the child is promising, you have to think about finding a simpler family, and the back is worry-free and clean, but it's just that I am a mother, but my lord has a clear attitude, this Aqing's son-in-law, he has the final say. You say, the girl I worked so hard to raise, I can't intervene to find a son-in-law? And, as my sister-in-law said, looking at this, my family is fourteen years old, and my lord hasn't said anything yet, how can I not be in a hurry? What's the use of being in a hurry? ”
Mrs. Fu was shocked, but she didn't think that this Lanxi's marriage was still closed like this, and she glanced at Fu Xiuyun at the moment, gave him a look, and then hurriedly said, "Yes!" No matter how anxious you are, you can't rush this matter. I think, this brother-in-law values Sister Xi too much, and wants to find her a perfect one, right? You don't need to worry, I see that the third girl in your family is also married late, and Sister Xi is a concubine, so she won't say anything if she stays long. Moreover, seeing that my brother-in-law, the prefect, has been in the fifth year and returned to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work, I don't know what to say. Perhaps, he has to come to a conclusion before he can consider Sister Xi'er's marriage, right? When the time comes, Sister Xi's marriage can also be taken to a higher level. ”
Mrs. Fu's words are reasonable, and when the third lady heard it, she thought about it again, it seemed to be the same thing? At that moment, most of the boredom in my heart was gone, and I shook Mrs. Fu's hand with a smile and said gratefully, "It's still my sister-in-law who thinks clearly." ”
Mrs. Fu also laughed, but that smile was two points more far-fetched than that of the third wife. (To be continued.) )
