Chapter Seventy-Two: Relatives

When Linglong returned to the Mu Mansion, the mansion was hanging red lanterns. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the thick silk of the palace system, delicate and dense, under the round lantern, floating golden ears, heavy in the sun with dazzling golden light, at a glance you know, is involved in the gold wire, how to look at it is full of joy and luxury, commanding everyone to hang the lantern is Luo's mother's son, Yang Zhu.

At that time, Lingyu got married, and there was no such lantern, but this time it was hung. Linglong was a little puzzled by Xiao's generosity.

When he passed by Yang Zhu, Zhao Ying smiled weirdly, and Yang Zhu felt a chill behind him. Looking at the backs of the three masters and servants, he shrunk his shoulders, and couldn't help but shudder, "It's really ****** to be alive in broad daylight" muttered.

In the old lady's room, Liuli was holding the dust to direct the little girls to play the ashes, and when she saw Linglong coming in, she greeted her with a smile, "The third lady is here." ”

"What are you doing here?" Linglong looked at the busy girls in the room and asked Liuli, "Where's Grandmother?" ”

"The old lady went to Meishan Xiaozhu over there, and the third lady didn't know about it, but it was a big happy event, the slave and maid accompanied the third lady to talk outside, and the ashes inside were full of ashes, and the black smoke was miasma, and the ashes on the third lady's head fell." As he spoke, he pulled Linglong to the plane tree in the courtyard of Ciyuan. Under the plane tree, two large smooth stones were placed, and the speckled sunlight through the leaves fell on the stones, with a faint white light, Linglong and Liuli laid handkerchiefs, and sat down next to each other with the sunlight on their backs, "The second lady got married, just in time for the old lady's family to go to Beijing, and she wants to stay for a few days." The joy that can't be concealed between the glass eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing that Linglong looked ignorant, Liuli knew that she didn't understand the reason inside, so she whispered to Linglong.

The old lady's maiden name is Tong, who has lived in Hangzhou for generations, and is also a large family in the local area for generations, and the only daughters they have in this house are the old lady and her sister, the old lady married Mu Shichang's father, and later came to Beijing. And her sister is married to the political secretary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Li Dezheng, Master Li passed away, his eldest son Li Qiankun took the official position, known as Lord Li, and the second son Li Qiangao was in charge of the family's affairs, known as Gao Erye. The Li family can be described as a first-class family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This time they were able to come to participate in the marriage of the Mu family, which was a full face for the Mu family.

Linglong wondered in her heart, Lingyu married to the prince's mansion that day, if it wasn't for the accident halfway, she was ready to be the princess, and the Li family didn't see anyone at that time, but just sent a grandmother, why did Lingrong marry someone like Zhaodehou Mansion this time, they came, "This time came to Beijing?" Linglong asked.

"The old lady of the Li family is here with the uncle, the second master, the ladies and the ladies and brothers." Liuli's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and her face is full of smiles.

Is the whole family here? Linglong muttered in her heart, this battle, it seems that ordinary people are fighting the autumn wind. And people like them are unpredictable.

Is it to tie up with the prince? But it's not going to be overwhelming. The Li family is a first-class family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are so many clansmen, but they have all moved out, and no one can think about it.

Is it a division? Originally, when I was in Qingquan Nunnery, I also heard the master mention that large families and clans are complicated, and there are also people who finally split the clan in order to lose their harmony. However, after all, a few, a century-old family, cares most about face and glory, how can such a thing as dividing the sect be done easily.

"When will it arrive?" Suppressing her thoughts, Linglong asked.

"When the letter was sent, their family had already arrived in Baoding Mansion, and it would be two days after tomorrow. So the old lady took the letter and went to Meishan Xiaozhu in person to let people clean up and arrange. As Liuli was talking, a girl with a double bun trotted all the way to Liuli and Linglong.

"Sister Ruri!" Gasping for breath.

"Why are you in such a hurry that you won't even be able to walk? Your aunt didn't teach you the rules! Liuli said coldly with a stiff face.

The little girl shrunk her shoulders, took half a step back, and saluted respectfully towards Linglong, "Third Miss." ”

Linglong smiled and nodded, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, turned her face to look at Liuli, and looked submissive.

"Sister Liuli, the old lady asked my sister to take a set of teacups with a red conch pattern, a set of small cups of the eight immortals crossing the sea in the pastel official kiln, three white sweet enamel open vases, water ripples, two pairs of crystal glass jars, four strings of diamond flowers, four strings of Nanmu beads, four strings of one hundred and eighty statues of Guanyin, three plum blossom screens, the kind with peach wood edges, pear wood round tables and carved round stools eight to Meishan Xiaozhu." The little girl tried her best to adjust her breathing and said, and after speaking, she stood there with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes pleasing to her eyes, her chest rising and falling, and her shoulders trembling slightly.

Linglong guessed that it was the first time that eight or nine were inseparable from ten, and it was the first time to take on such an errand. is only seven or eight years old, it is difficult for her to say everything, but she is a child with a seven-hearted heart.

"You go and get busy, business matters, I'm going to Madame too." Linglong smiled and got up.

"It's okay, now there are all kinds of things here, and I can't talk well, and when I am busy with the second miss's marriage, the slave maid brings snacks to find the third miss, and I will also take a look at Aunt Yue by the way." Liuli was not polite to Linglong, smiled and said, turned around and took the little girl into the upper room to rummage for things.

Linglong took the purple moon and the shadow out of Ciyuan.

"You go and tell Aunt Yan, don't mess up just because you have relatives." Linglong ordered Ziyue to stop and led the shadow towards Fangyuan.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Xiao Shi instructing Luo's mother, "Let the person who picked up my sister and brother go back quickly," and as he was talking, he stopped abruptly when he saw Linglong come in, and looked at Linglong with a smile.

"Mother." Linglong smiled in her heart and walked towards the Xiao family, "I just heard Liuli say that our family is going to come to relatives." He said with joy on his face.

Luo's mother greeted Linglong with a little perfunctory greeting and turned to leave.

Xiao nodded, unable to hide the joy in his heart, and his attitude towards Linglong also increased with joy from the heart, "No, the old lady personally brought a family to Beijing, which is a great joy." ”

Linglong pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother, this is my makeup for my second sister, and my mother helps me keep it." Linglong said, took the ginseng in Zhaoying's hand, and handed it to Xiao.

Xiao raised his eyebrows and took it with a smile, "You are always thoughtful." ”

Linglong didn't bother to pay attention to the wit in her words, pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "Relatives must have come to invite the troupe, right?" "I look forward to the excitement.

Xiao Shi glanced at Linglong deeply, "Of course I want to invite the troupe, not only to invite, but also to invite the best in Beijing, not only that, but the old lady spoke, saying that she was going to sing for three days." I'm afraid you'll be bored by listening to it then. ”

"Mother, where is it, Linglong loves to be lively." Linglong said with crooked eyebrows.

Xiao boasted that he had a vicious eye, and he couldn't see through whether Linglong was naΓ―ve or scheming. Since Linglong came back, there have been too many things that have happened to her that people can't figure out.

After hesitating for a moment in his heart, Xiao Shi smiled: "When the time comes, there will be a lot of people and miscellaneous things, I'm afraid I can't be busy, you can divide the matters in the kitchen, one is an experience, and the other can be regarded as helping me to share." ”

Linglong's face immediately changed, she looked frightened, and waved her hand again and again, "Mother spare me, in front of my grandmother, I can't shirk it, I should take care of the clothes in the second sister's dowry, and I already regret that my intestines are blue, and I am thinking about how to tell my grandmother and mother, and my mother will divide the matter for me, but it will kill me." Linglong sighed sincerely as she spoke, "Linglong has the heart to help her mother share her worries, but her mother also knows that Linglong grew up in the nunnery, where do you know what rules are square, but she doesn't dare to show up in front of her relatives, and asks her mother to be sympathetic to Linglong." I was about to cry when I said it, and I looked at Xiao Shi with blank eyes.

Fools can see how much grandmother sees the arrival of relatives this time, and Liuli mentioned the weight of relatives again, if he helps take care of the kitchen matters, when the time comes, Xiao Shi will be able to let himself die without a place to be buried, how can he wade into this troubled water. Moreover, now that the shop has changed its business, the matter of winter clothes Linglong also wants to push it out.

Xiao listened warmly and coldly, and couldn't understand whether Linglong was really unwilling to learn or deliberately shirked.

"You always have to get married, and if you can't escape it, you must always learn." Shaw spoke earnestly.

Linglong immediately blushed and lowered her eyes, "Mother, I haven't finished yet." ”

Xiao Shi tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and was about to speak, when he heard someone talking outside the courtyard, "Sister Taohong, why are you here?" Sister Pink is getting more and more beautiful than before. ”

Pink?

Linglong was shocked, could it be that even the Prince's Mansion cared about the relatives of the Mu Mansion this time?

Xiao Shi looked at the peach red who entered the courtyard with a solemn face, his face was full of worry, could it be that something happened to Yu'er? She watched in horror as Pink approached her.

Peach wore a red gold thread dark embroidered shading eight-treasure makeup gown, a rose pink open-sleeved palace dress inside, the cuffs were locked with the new striped edges, the soapy white standing neckline, and two peach blossoms embroidered on the placket, delicate and gorgeous, a pair of Nanzhu earrings glowed with a low-key halo in the sun, showing endless luxury.

Linglong smacked her tongue secretly, and the peach was a girl in front of Lingyu, and this kind of dress was too ostentatious.

Xiao Shi didn't see the peach Yue costume at all, but seeing her happy face, he knew that there was nothing bad about Yu'er, and his excited heart calmed down a little.

Peach came over with a smile and greeted Xiao and Linglong, Linglong could hear the perfunctory tone in Peach and ignored her.

"Peach must have something important to say to her mother, and Linglong won't pester her mother." With that, he saluted Xiao and turned to leave.

Behind him, I heard Xiao's slightly lowered voice, "What's wrong?" She said as she walked into the house, Pink following behind her.

"Mrs. is so happy, Liangdi diagnosed the happy pulse early this morning." Peach didn't lower her voice, or she deliberately raised her voice, and the joyful words spread throughout Fangyuan the moment she lifted her feet into the room. "The prince Teen quasi-slave came to give his wife good news, and said that he wanted to be promoted to the position of Liangdi."
