Chapter 4 [Catching Insects]
Let's say that Mei Yin drank wine and just returned home, she was invited by the maid next to Aunt Sun.
In the room, Aunt Sun wrung the hot handkerchief, wiped Mei Yin's face, and said softly: "Master, the old lady of Mengfu came over today, it seems that she is protecting Sister Yun's media." Mei Yin closed her eyes and said "um", and Aunt Sun continued: "I heard about Bao's Xiping Bo Mansion. This is a good family, I don't know if my wife will ...... her."
Before she finished speaking, Mei Yin opened her eyes and frowned, "She's not that kind of person." ”
Aunt Sun's face was full of worry, and she wanted to say something more, but Mei Yin sank her face first, and she had to hold back her words.
Today, I heard that Mrs. Meng came to protect Sister Yun's media, and Aunt Sun was happy, but when she thought of many housewives secretly deliberately making bad marriages, she couldn't help but be worried again, so she first talked about it here in Mei Yin, who knew that it was not interesting!
Aunt Sun was remorseful, and someone from outside came to spread the word that Mrs. had two important matters to ask the master to discuss.
Mei Yin was frightened, and hurriedly packed up and went to Qiao's room.
I saw Qiao sitting upright in the room, and glanced at him coldly, Mei Yin had no choice but to make amends.
Qiao's anger disappeared, and he told Mei Yun's marriage, and said: "I think Sister Yun'er's marriage is good, master, what do you think?" ”
Mei Yin nodded: "Xiping Bofu is also considered to have a heart, please ask Mrs. Meng to protect the media, although it is a second-room concubine, and Sister Yun is also a match, so you should go down." ”
After saying that, Qiao Shi took a sip of tea slowly, and deliberately colded him again.
Mei Yin hurriedly made another move, and Fu Xiao said in a low voice: "Madam, what else is going on?" ”
Thinking of that incident, Qiao sighed heavily and said, "Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law told me today that she wants to reconcile with Brother Xiang." ”
"And leave? How's that going to work? Hearing this, Mei Yin shook his head again and again, "This is absolutely unacceptable." Now that the second son of the Dong family has just won the Jinshi, we will have to move around more in the future, if we leave, this beam will be concluded. ”
"Master, then you have to restrain Brother Xiang'er, he is too much of a bastard!"
As soon as Mei Yin was drunk, she yelled to fight.
"What did you hit him for?" Qiao Shi stopped, "It's not messy enough?" ”
Mei Yin was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Then how to discipline?" What a loving mother and a loser! ”
……
In the early morning of the next day, when Mei Ru came to greet Qiao's family, Mei Yin was still in the room.
Mei Yin is now in her thirties, and this person is dressed in a moon-white embroidered bamboo pattern gown, with hosta hairpins, and the whole person is very elegant. Speaking of which, Mei Yin and Qiao's are both first-class Peugeot characters, Mei Xiang is also good-looking, only Mei Rusheng is mediocre in the family, and only a pair of peach blossom eyes inherited Mei Yin.
In the last life, although Mei Yin lived to copy his family, since Qiao's death, his whole person has been wrong. At first, when Qiao's funeral was buried, he cried a handful of snot and tears, and several people couldn't stand it, and later, he never set foot in those aunts' rooms again, and only drank wine every day. At that time, Mei Ru married Fu Zheng and only came back occasionally, Mei Yin also pointed to the things in the house, saying that this is what your mother used, and that is what your mother likes......
Now recalling these, and seeing that her father and mother are there, Mei Ru is satisfied.
Seeing Mei Ru, Mei Yin smiled with a pair of peach blossom eyes, beckoned: "Follow by, Dad has something good for you." ”
"What's good?" Mei Ru trotted over.
"Hey, slow down, slow down!" Qiao Shi shouted next to him, "Follow the rules, pay attention to the rules!" ”
Mei Ru stuck out her tongue and smiled at Mei Yin.
I saw Mei Yin take out a jade from her sleeve and hand it to her daughter as if offering a treasure. The front of this jade is carved with a garden, the hanging flower door is full of flowers, and there is only one butterfly carved on the back. If it is placed in the sun, the butterfly will just rest on the branch of a flower. Mei Ru kept watching it, and she liked it very much.
I heard Qiao's ask, "How much money did you spend?" ”
"It's not worth a few bucks, so I bought it back if I thought I liked it." Mei Yin explained, and then looked at her daughter's happy smiling face. Suddenly, he said "Huh" and said to Qiao's: "How do I feel...... What's different today? ”
"Daddy, what's wrong with me?" Mei Ru looked unconvinced.
Qiao Shi glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's not the same, there are fewer hairpins, and the whole person is ......" But Qiao Shi didn't know what to say later, and he always felt that it was different.
Mei Ru asked Jingqin to comb a simple snail bun today, and only a hairpin was inserted between the temples, and a glossy pearl was embedded at the top, which was indeed a bit less. Touching her hair uncomfortably, she squirmed and asked, "Daddy, isn't my daughter looking like this?" ”
"Beautiful!"
Mei Yin couldn't help but answer, but he looked left and right, and said: "It's just that this appearance is too plain, and it doesn't look like it's followed." ”
"Just follow the like, you care so much!" Qiao Shi said with disgust.
Mei Yin laughed, dusted her sleeves, and then got up. He had to go to the Yamen to answer the mao, and at this time he said to Qiao's family: "Sister Yun'er's marriage is decided quickly, and also, persuade Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law well, don't think about it anymore." ”
"Yes." Qiao nodded.
Mei Ru listened to the clouds and fog, and her heart was itchy, so she pestered Qiao's and asked, "What is the sister-in-law's mind?" ”
This time, let her try her best to figure it out, Qiao Shi pinched her face and didn't say anything.
Mei Ru was discouraged, holding her cheeks, and looked sullen.
The mother and son quarreled for a while, and Mei Yun came to say goodbye.
Mei Yun is six out of ten this year, wearing a lavender embroidered bamboo leaf plum blossom collared long jacket, and a shallower long skirt underneath, the whole person is faint, a pair of apricot eyes are hanging low, and the lilac earrings on both sides are gently shaken, and the lining looks very quiet.
Dong's body is still not good today, Qiao's didn't let her come, and only led the two girls to Chunxi Hall to greet the ancestors.
When the group arrived, the people in the second room were already there, surrounding Du Shi and Lerong.
Seeing them coming, Du Shi lowered his face, his eyes poked at Mei Ru, and frowned heavily: "I heard...... There are no rules for following yesterday? ”
Mei Ru knew that she was disciplining Aunt Zhao, so she took a few steps forward and behaved well: "Ancestor, follow by step to know your mistakes." ”
"Hmph, what's the use of knowing the wrong light?" Du Shi poked her head and hated her: "You have such a temper, you don't have a long memory at all!" ”
Mei Ru bowed her head in response, Du Shi's gaze swept around her, fell on her hair, and couldn't help but wonder: "It's different today." ”
Another different?
Mei Ru's face flushed, and she secretly wondered, she just inserted a few hairpins, how could she make it look like something big had happened?
Knowing that his daughter didn't want to be trained, Qiao Shi opened his mouth and said, "Ancestor, in two days, I want to take Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law to Lianxiang Temple." ”
Lianxiang Temple?
When Mei Ru heard this, she looked at Qiao's with a blank eye, and she couldn't wait to write the words "I want to go too" in her head.
The old ancestor didn't object, but when he saw Mei Ru's appearance, he was unhappy again, "Do you want to go too?" She asked.
was caught red-handed, Mei Ru shrunk her neck, and responded obediently: "If you go back to your ancestors, your granddaughter wants to go." ”
Du Shi was displeased: "A girl's family goes out all day long, and her heart is going to play wild!" Learn more from your second sister, and share it at home. ”
Mei Ru flattened her mouth, and was thinking about what to say, but Mei Qian had already whispered softly: "Ancestor, the master has not been in the mansion for the past few days, and I am also in a panic, and I want to go out for a walk." ”
When she said this, Du Shi's face immediately changed: "Okay, a few sisters will go together, and they will be lively in one place." ”
That's the difference!
Mei Ru couldn't help but be angry again, and when she raised her head, she happened to smile at Mei Qian. This person's eyes were full of tenderness and kindness, and she was very understanding, which made her more and more vexatious.
Mei Ru's heart was astringent, and she uncomfortably avoided the man's smile.
After talking for a while, Du Shi sent the four of them over, just to discuss Sister Yun's marriage.
Coming out of Chunxi Hall, Mei Yun and Mei Qian walked in front, and the other two lagged behind. Mei Ru and Mei Ping are together, they must be fighting, and they are already fighting again.
Mei Ping said: "Third sister, I see that you are really different today. ”
Mei Ru said: "Fourth sister, I look at you every day. As he spoke, his eyes looked down and fell on top of her head.
Sister Ping is most afraid that people will say that she is short, and at this time, she kicked forward angrily, and Mei Yun fell down, waiting for Mei Ru to be together.
Because of Qiao's consideration, Mei Ru usually doesn't move around much with this eldest sister. Sister Yun is also quiet, she doesn't fight or grab, but she didn't expect that in the end, she was the most comfortable one among the four girls in Meifu. Now looking at the big sister, Mei Ru is really envious.
"Eldest sister," she lowered her voice and whispered to Mei Yun, "I heard my father and mother talk about you in the morning, and it's going to be decided." ”
Mei Yun's face flushed, and the roots of her ears followed like fire. She hummed, "Not yet." ”
Knowing that she was shy, Mei Ru didn't say much, just smiled faintly and went over to Dong's again.
She is now thinking about her brother and sister-in-law, and she wants to go over and have a look when she has time, for fear that if she doesn't pay attention, she will ......
When Mei Ru entered the house, Dong was still lying on the bed, her hair was scattered, her eyes were blue, and she looked haggard. He Sui waited beside him with medicine. I saw that the bowl was full of black medicine, and after a spoonful of entry, Dong's brows furrowed deeply.
Heart disease still needs heart medicine, where do you need to drink these?
Mei Ru sat down and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, my mother said that she would take us to Lianxiang Temple in a few days!" ”
Dong's face was vain, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and said absentmindedly: "What are you going to do in the temple?" ”
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, do you?" Mei Ru deliberately led her, "That Lianxiang Temple has a unique place in the capital, that is, vegetarian steamed buns, with shiitake mushrooms and diced beans and wild vegetables and lotus leaves planted in the temple, which are very fragrant." ”
Hearing her say this, Dong finally smiled: "Just that vegetarian bun?" I taste average, so I'll follow your taste! ”
Tilting his head and looking at Mei Ru fixedly, Dong said again: "Follow, you are not much different today." ”
"What's the difference?" Mei Ru deliberately teased her.
Stroking her hair, Dong said, "It's too light." In my opinion, that's what we follow. After a pause, Dong said again: "When you dress up like this, you look like Sister Qian'er." Sister Qian'er is delicate, and she will be pressed when she has more jewelry; You can follow your cool temperament, it turned out to be like that, which made people happy from the bottom of their hearts, but now they are dressed like this, which makes people feel cold at the bottom of their hearts, as if they have suffered a lot of grievances. ”
might as well be said so transparently by the Dong family, Mei Ru was stunned, and then her heart was sour.
She leaned on Dong and said, "Good sister-in-law, then you can get better, and when you get better, teach you how to dress up." ”
……
In a blink of an eye, the day of going to Lianxiang Temple, because the eldest wife, the second wife, the eldest grandmother and the three girls were all going, the house naturally had to spend a lot of time.
- As a concubine, Mei Yun rarely walks around the house, and now that she is discussing family affairs, she will not go.
Being able to leave the house, Mei Ru was naturally excited, but it was not easy to show too much, and after passing through the sparsely populated place, she quietly lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out.
In the distance, there happened to be a few fast horses, because it was too fast, she only vaguely saw a corner of the back, the clothes were strong, sassy into the wind, very neat.
She tilted her head to see more clearly, so she heard Qiao's cough, Mei Ru lowered the curtain and sat there obediently, but that heart had already flown to the vegetarian buns!
