Chapter 156: The Meng Family
Ah Hong, who had been standing in the corner with low eyebrows and listening to the whole book, stood up at this moment and put a gray squirrel skin cloak on Xiusun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In order to see the little magpie's brother, Xiusun deliberately made an excuse to go back to the Pink Mirror Dock the night before, and after the matter was dealt with, it was time to go to the Huanshi Mountain House to accompany the old lady for breakfast.
Just listening to the little magpie training her brother, she didn't have time to think about the whole thing, and now she happened to think about it while walking in the verandah.
The little magpie and Ah Hong followed Xiusun side by side, following Xiusun's fast and slow steps.
Xiusun was completely lost in thought.
Recently, Ruan's absence, Xiusun has to help take care of housework and outer courtyard chores, so she has no time to go to the boudoir, but Xiuguan and Xiuzhi still go.
The maids around Xiuzhi were all picked by the Ruan family, and she herself was unlikely to mess around, and the maids around Xiuguan were newly replaced by the old lady.
Xiusun wondered, if there was a private gift or something, there must be a messenger.
Stop and go all the way, enter the Huanshi Mountain House, Xiuguan and Xiuzhi have arrived, Xiusun smiled and greeted the two sisters, and deliberately glanced at Xiuguan, usually at this time, Xiuguan will definitely welcome her, and said to her affectionately, "Sister is late again?" ”
Now he is sitting in his seat with great dignity and elegance, and the teacup in his hand has not moved, which is very abnormal.
Xiusun couldn't help but look carefully, she was still wearing the blue clothes she always liked, but today's jacket is bean green, the neckline is embroidered with gold thread and entwined lotus patterns, the black hair is combed into a fallen horse bun, there is a jasper hair comb pinned between the hair, and the jasper hairpin is inserted obliquely, and a few small red gold hollow hosta flower nails are added to the hair, and the pearl bracelet rewarded by the old lady is wrapped around the wrist, and the waist is tied with a bud yellow Hangzhou silk pleated skirt.
Xiusun couldn't help but secretly appreciate in her heart, if she hadn't known what kind of person her sister was, I'm afraid she would have been confused by her appearance.
Xiuzhi beside her is dressed in an ordinary way, with a narrow-sleeved jacket in the color of Concubine Yang, with a pear blossom white threaded skirt, elegant and quiet, two red gold lilac nails in her hair, a bead hairpin pressed on the sideburns, and a pearl bracelet wrapped around her wrist, but the small buckle of the interface is a red gold sunflower petal.
As soon as she looked here, the old lady came out with the help of Shen's mother, and when she saw that the three sisters were coming, she ordered them to hurry to breakfast.
After breakfast, I went to the inner room to see the sleeping Xiu Peng, and Xiu Sun followed the old lady and sisters out of the door.
Xiupeng is already going to turn over, the old lady is worried that a nurse can't take care of her, so she added another person to wait for him, the little brother looks like a tiger, and the eyebrows and eyes are quite like the eighth master, the more the old lady looks at it, the more she likes it.
The Meng family and the Buddha Hand Lake Courtyard were not far away, and the carriage arrived quickly.
Xiusun got out of the car first, and then helped her grandmother, and the two sisters got out of the other car, and Mrs. Meng came out to greet her in person, and warmly welcomed the old lady in.
Mrs. Meng is taller than ordinary women, with a disc face, big eyes, no smile or talk, she looks very kind, and when she saw Xiusun, she immediately had a lot of praise, saying that Xiusun was beautiful again.
Xiusun glanced at the sisters with a humble heart, next to these two sisters, she was like a maid, okay, Mrs. Meng, what about your taste? It's like this year after year, and there's really no progress.
And when I caught a glimpse of Xiuguan, it was a little strange, Xiuguan's gaze today was not at all vicious as usual, but very reserved and ...... Joy?
Xiusun was frightened by her own experience, could she really have a private relationship with the son of the Meng family?
Xiuzhi is as usual, with low eyebrows and smooth eyes, like clay sculpture and wood carving.
Xiusun retracted her gaze, and concentrated on walking, and the mutton fat jade on her waist did not move at all, Mrs. Meng accidentally found out and was surprised, this Chu family's seventh lady is not even ten years old, right?
The group entered the courtyard where Mrs. Meng lived, Master Meng and Master Meng went out, and the second young master, the third young master and the four young ladies of the Meng family were all there.
The two families are world friends, and the children have known each other since childhood, so they have not deliberately avoided them.
The old lady gave Mrs. Meng a New Year's greeting, and asked Xiusun to give a few New Year's greetings to Mrs. Meng.
Then the people on both sides greeted each other, and Mrs. Meng enthusiastically introduced them one by one, the second young master of her family is a concubine, everyone knows this, she is fifteen years old this year, she has no martial arts, and she has no talent for reading, and now she is familiar with the housekeeper with the bookkeeper.
Xiusun secretly thought, Mrs. Meng is very powerful, this concubine is for her, I am afraid that she will not be able to get much property in the future.
She heard that Mrs. Meng's maiden family was also in the army, and her status was higher than that of the Meng family.
Xiusun couldn't help but glance at the second young master of the Meng family again, he and the third young master of the Meng family were not there last year, Xiusun didn't come out with the old lady the year before last, and now it is the first time to see the young master of the Meng family.
Xiusun didn't rush to a conclusion, and quietly looked at the third young master of the Meng family, that is, the suspect who had a private relationship with Miss Chu family.
I didn't want to just raise my eyes, and I bumped into the gaze of the third young master of the Meng family, it turned out that when she looked at this, he was also looking at her.
What impressed Xiusun the most was the big eyes of the third young master of the Meng family, watery and very clear, at first glance it reminded people of Ke Xuan's appearance, so innocent and beautiful.
Xiusun chuckled in her heart and quickly avoided her gaze.
The eyes of the third young master of the Meng family didn't stay on Xiusun for long, and then moved to Xiusun's two sisters next to him.
As usual, there is nothing wrong with greetings.
Xiusun listened attentively and did not interject, at this time, observation is more important.
But I listened to the two grandmothers sitting at the top talk about the age of their children and grandchildren.
Mrs. Meng said, "Your Xiusun is almost ten years old, but it's a pity that my family is fifteen." ”
She looked at the old lady and said regretfully.
The old lady smiled and took a sip of tea, but only smiled and did not answer.
Mrs. Meng didn't force it, she brought it with a smile, and chatted with the old lady about the snow that had been falling for the past two days, but it didn't fall much.
This is still in the year, it is not good to stay in someone else's house for a long time, the old lady took her granddaughters to do a little and then went home.
Mrs. Meng didn't force her to stay, and when the old lady and her party left, she sighed faintly.
Mrs. Meng returned to Mrs. Meng's courtyard after sending off the guests, and asked softly when she saw this, "Mother, what does this Chu family mean?" ”
Old Madam Meng sighed again, "The Shen family didn't take a fancy to our family. ”
"What?" Mrs. Meng was not very happy, after all, no one wanted to be disliked.
Mrs. Meng nodded, "I thought that the third son of our family could marry her Xiusun, and there will always be someone to help her in the future." ”
Mrs. Meng thought of the way Xiusun had just walked, and she also felt a little regretful in her heart. (To be continued.) )
