The four sons and daughters who followed were all very confused, and when they saw the people sent by Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou coming to say hello to Zhou Fuxiang, they laughed and told Zhou Fuxiang about the great changes in recent days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The person who went back told Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou the same way, but Mrs. Zhou was just happy, but Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but be overjoyed, and pulled the little guy to ask what Tianqiao looked like, where he lived, and asked how old he was, and the little guy replied, Mrs. Zhou heard that it was Grandma Liu's relative, so she asked, "Where is Grandma Liu?" ”

The old lady and the others standing underground all laughed and said: "Mrs. may have forgotten that Grandma Liu is the mother of Wang Gou'er, the tenant of Zhuangzi, who came to your old man's house that year to say goodbye, and you still left her for a meal." ”

Mrs. Zhou suddenly smiled and said, "It was a relative of their family, but I forgot about it." Originally, I looked at their brother Ban'er very well, and his temperament and temperament were all compatible with Yanqing, but it was a pity that he was illiterate, so it was not good for him to study in one place. Now that such a boy with a complete personality and appearance has also come out of their family, it can be seen that their family is also concerned about educating their children. ”

Everyone: "To talk about it, Gou'er and their family have even had a sect with the big officials in the city in the old years, and they are all said to be a great family, and the girls and sons of the He clan can do everything about poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting. ”

Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "In this case, we can't treat him slowly." Then he asked the people around him to call a small guy outside the second gate and said, "Pass my word and ask someone to send some greeting gifts to the Qiao brother next to the uncle." ”

After that, there was a maid Sydney who was busy to prepare, went to the attic at the back, and took out a silver plate for a while, with a piece of silk, opened it for Mrs. Zhou to see, and took a ruler and a pair of gold and silver bills of 'Four Seasons Peace', Mrs. Zhou smiled and said that it was very good, and asked the little maids to serve Uncle Haofu a few words, so she asked Sydney to hand over the things to the little maids and take them out, and rewarded them with a string of money, so she turned around and asked how the comprador girl who accompanied the Guo family.

Guo Quanjia replied with a smile: "This time, I rushed a Qiaozong, and I really bought a suitable one." I have seen a lot of girls before, just because I think that the first powerful orange girl around my wife got married a year ago, which one inside and outside does not need to be taken care of by my wife herself? If you want to find it, you must be looking for someone who is similar to the orange girl, and the girls in front of you are either inferior to the oranges, or the temperament can't catch up with half a point, but this one is born well, and it has been taught a lesson, which is very reasonable. As soon as Qin San'er, who went out to buy that day, came back, I knew that she had to be when I heard his description. ”

Mrs. Zhou couldn't stop laughing with those grandmothers with her handkerchief, and said, "You said it so well, I thought you had seen her, but it turned out to be hearsay." Don't believe Qin San'er, he doesn't have anything serious in his mouth. ”

Guo Quan's family also said while laughing: "Qin San'er is no longer serious, and he can't be sloppy about his wife's affairs." Although I haven't seen it, I heard that the girl was originally the young grandmother of the official family in the city, and when she was proud, she meant the meaning of the young grandmother, and no one was disrespectful in her actions, but later the young grandmother of their family died, and the family was not as good as before, so she was sold. ”

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she frowned and said: "I have to inquire carefully, I heard that many officials in the city have recently committed crimes, and other girls in the house have been sold." No matter how good it is, we can't get into trouble. ”

Guo Quanjia hurriedly said: "What Mrs. said is exact, I also asked Qin San'er so, what he said is true, not those people who came out of the house." I think it's about our family's reputation, and he can't deceive me anymore, and besides, the women who committed the crime have all been bought by big families near Kyoto, so it is impossible for them to come to us. Today, Qin San'er wanted to bring her over to show her wife, she said that it would be Qingming in a few days, so she would have to come over after a sacrifice to the people in the family and the young grandmother who died. I saw that she was sincere, so I took the initiative to agree to her, and allowed her to come back to kowtow to my wife after Qingming. ”

Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "She can do this, she is really a measured child." Anyway, it was her who was the one who was vertical, and ordered to go down, clean up the house where the orange used to live, and leave it to the girl, and all the daily life was according to Sydney, and she still paid eight dollars of silver a month, and then asked the master to measure the size and make a few clothes. ”

The whole Guo family and the grandmothers in charge all agreed, and Fang accompanied Mrs. Zhou to talk for a while, and then came out to work separately.

The little servants there got the reward, and ran out of the gate along the courtyard, and ran around the corner towards the village. Seeing that Zhou Fuxiang said everything Mrs. Zhou commanded, he took out the gold and silver bills and rulers and said: "This is a gift from Mrs. Qiao Ge'er, thinking that the uncle didn't bring a star and a half when he came out, so he let us send it." I also asked us to tell the uncle, or it will be Qingming in a few days, let the uncle's family go to worship the ancestors, if Brother Qiao and Brother Ban'er are not busy, they will also follow the uncle to the house to play for a few days, so that I can see Mrs. and the master. ”

Zhou Fuxiang smiled and took the gifts and put them on the bookcase at hand, and said to the little guy: "Go back and tell Mrs. that everything is fine here, and you will definitely go back when you get to Qingming." As for Brother Qiao and Brother Ban'er, after I have asked, you will talk back. ”

The little guy sighed crisply, Zhou Fuxiang grabbed a copper plate on the table and gave it to him and let him go out. Here I looked at the pile of gifts in a daze, and shook my head for a while, only saying that Tianqiao's temper might not be willing to go home with him.

Thinking that he was smiling, he called Lu'er and asked him to go up the hill to find Tianqiao. Lu'er went like a gust of wind, called Sister Qiao, and smiled without entering the door: "What's the matter, Yanqing called me in such a hurry?" As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and entered the house.

Zhou Fuxiang put his hands behind his back and said to the bookcase: "Mother heard that you came to read to me as a companion, so she sent someone to send me a gift." ”

Sister Qiao stood in place and took a look, and saw that it was a pair of gold and silver bills and a ruler, and there was nothing unusual about it, so she turned around and smiled: "It's troublesome for Mrs. Lao, and I want to thank Mrs. for her love." Although she said so, Zhou Fuxiang relied on her experience of getting along with Sister Qiao for many days, just looking at her expression, she knew that she didn't pay attention to the things she rewarded, and it was not good for her to please her with these, and asked: "I don't know if you and Ban'er will be idle before and after Qingming?" ”

Sister Qiao was stunned unconsciously, and after some calculations in her heart, she was secretly frightened and unconsciously came to Qingming. If it was in previous years, if it was in Jiafu, it must have been prepared to open at this moment, and the mother should also be busy, first sacrificial sweeping, and then going out. The maids will also take her to play on the swing and release the paper kite after the sacrifice. Now, the family is ruined, I'm afraid she is the only one who can worship one or two. Thinking of the sad place, Sister Qiao suddenly felt that her cheeks were wet and slippery, and she knew that she was crying, worried that Zhou Fuxiang saw the question and hurriedly turned her back and wiped it indiscriminately, and said in a hoarse voice: "Qingming may be busy, what is the uncle asking for?" ”

Zhou Fuxiang had already seen the tears falling on her face for no reason and her panicked small movements, just because he was sensitive by nature, he knew that Sister Qiao must have a secret thing in her heart, and it was inconvenient for others to know, so he only smiled and said: "My father and mother are very worried, let me go to the Qingming family to worship my ancestors, and ask someone to bring a message, saying that I have never seen you, and I want me to take you to the house to play for a few days." I didn't say yes right away, I always had to ask you and Ban'er if they were free. ”

Sister Qiao couldn't hold back her sadness, turned around and smiled reluctantly: "It's going against the kindness of the lord and the lady, the Qingming is really not able to pull away, and after the Qingming Festival, I will go to the house to say hello to the lord and the lady." ”

Zhou Fuxiang said busily, seeing that Sister Qiao seemed to be a little depressed, he pulled over a chess book on the table, turned a page at random, and pretended to be puzzled to ask Sister Qiao to help him relax. Sister Qiao was also suffering from depression and discomfort in her heart, so she calmly watched the chess game and solved the mysteries one by one. Half a day later, the two of them sat down against each other for a game of chess, Zhou Fuxiang looked at Sister Qiao's expression again and again, and saw that she was slowly getting accorded, and his heart was slightly relieved.

When the sun was about to set, Ban'er drove the sheep and came over to call Sister Qiao to go home together. On the way, she happily told Sister Qiao that she saw some strange clouds today, and Sister Qiao drooped her head for a long time before nodding inexplicably.

Ban'er was puzzled, took her hand and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you, are you annoyed with the uncle again?" ”

Sister Qiao shook her head with tears, Ban'er was even more uneasy, clenched her hand and asked, "So, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sister Qiao's five fingers clenched lightly in his palm, and she held back her tears and whispered, "I want to go and sweep the grave of my mother and relatives at home." ”

Ban'er was taken aback, and vetoed: "That's not good, have you forgotten how dangerous it is outside, going out now is tantamount to killing yourself, I can't promise you this." ”
