The old lady thought about it and nodded. She thought that her daughter-in-law was pregnant recently, and she was afraid that Aunt Zhao and Xiuguan would be together and what would happen to her, the child that Ruan was pregnant with for the first time that year fell a little strangely, she faintly suspected that it was related to Aunt Zhao, but that year because of Aunt Wang's affair and Ruan's disagreement, she was not good at interfering in her daughter-in-law's house again, so she had to wait for Ruan's own hair, and she didn't think that Ruan's action was not at all, so it was over until now.

Now that I think about it, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Seeing that the old lady agreed, Xiusun raised a flattering little face to flatter the old lady, "Grandmother is wise!" ”

After rolling again, he walked around behind his grandmother and continued to squeeze her shoulder.

The old lady was amused by her.

Xiusun was thinking about another thing in her heart, the musk incident and Aunt Qin's matter this time were obviously related to Aunt Zhao, and it was not clear how much Xiuguan was involved in this. Moreover, Mrs. and Chen's mother almost turned the house upside down, but they didn't find any traces of Aunt Zhao's private contact with the outside world in the recent period.

For so long, there are only people left who come to visit, and the Foshou Lake Villa rarely interacts with outsiders, counting up, these people include Zhong Taiyi's family, Ru Niangzi's family, Meng Yuan's family, Jinghe Shitai of Baiyi Nunnery, and the wife and grandmother of Jiangpu's old house.

And Ru Niangzi and Imperial Doctor Zhong only got along after the musk incident, so the only ones left are Meng Yuan's house, Baiyi'an and Jiangpu's old mansion.

Intuitively, Xiusun's mind fell on the old mansion in Jiangpu.

She thought, if she took a close look at the Foshou Lake Courtyard and put Xiuguan in the old house in Jiangpu, would she be able to find some clues about the connection between Xiuguan and the old house in Jiangpu?

The last time Aunt Qin blocked the way into the house, Xiusun was already suspicious.

Aunt Zhao has been grounded for many days, and she has no chance to contact outsiders at all, nor has she had the opportunity to discuss with Xiuguan, why did Xiuguan come forward to cooperate on their way back?

It seems that the only explanation is in the old mansion in Jiangpu, I don't know who the old lady plans to send to Xiuguan to be the housekeeper's mother, it is best to let Ruan meet this mother in advance and ask a few words.

――

On September 29 of the year of Bingshen, it is advisable to marry and make an alliance, and avoid opening the market.

The simple atmosphere of the old Jiangpu mansion is now full of lights, reflecting the red sun in the east, the high-pitched suona sounded the music of a hundred birds and the phoenix from time to time hitting the eardrums, the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder, the eyes, ears, mouth and nose are stained with joy, people are naturally excited, Xiusun a few little sisters jumped up hand in hand and jumped up the last step on the golden word, revealing a good omen.

Jinling wedding custom is to pass the door in the afternoon, Xiurui is to marry far away, to cooperate with the time of boarding, so I discussed with relatives and friends, so I got married early, stayed for a light meal at noon, and then formally held a banquet in the evening, which is also in line with Jinling customs.

"One comb to the end, two combs to the white hair and eyebrows, three combs to the children and grandchildren, four combs to the four silver shoots are all marked." Mrs. Meng entered the old house in Jiangpu as soon as she was bright, and when Xiusun and the others ran to the embroidery building, they heard Mrs. Meng's clear voice, she combed her hair while reading the auspicious smooth mouth, and Xiu Rui, who was sitting in front of the mirror, had crimson cheeks.

Xiuyun quipped, "My sister doesn't need to apply rouge." ”

Xiu Rui was so angry that she picked up a silk flower from the dressing table and threw it at Xiuyun, "This little girl, when you hear an idiom, you use it indiscriminately." ”

Xiuyun straightened her waist and flashed quickly, dodged the silk flower, and smiled to compensate her sister, "I was wrong sister, today is my sister's big day, I should wish my sister and brother-in-law a hundred years of happiness, and give birth to a noble son early." ”

"Oh, you owe yaw, come here, see if I don't tear your mouth." Xiu Rui was anxious, patted the mirror and pointed at her, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were dyed with joy, and she didn't look very angry.

Chu Pei smiled and leaned in to make peace, "Okay, okay, you sit still so that Mrs. Meng can save some effort." Your sister is also for your good, bless you, and I, as an elder, also wish you to be united forever, and the piano will be harmonious. ”

Xiurui was so ashamed that she couldn't speak this time.

Seeing her like this, Xiusun no longer called her ashamed, only asked Xiurui's maid if she had brought snacks and ginseng slices, and pulled Xiuqian to find a chair that was pleasing to the eye and sat down, eating melon seeds.

Xiu Rui looked at her gratefully, the night before, Xiu Sun sent her a box of flavored cool oil, which is a new product from Ruan's wedding shop, Xiu Rui is going to marry to Fujian, all the way by boat and car, it is uncomfortable, the smell of cool oil is inevitably a little pungent, this flavored is smeared like a balm, just right.

She is often in a trance when she faces Xiusun, she is so much younger than herself next year, but when she talks, she is like her peers, she understands her thoughts very well, and she can be just right when persuading.

Indeed, for Xiusun, Xiu Rui is her peer, and she is more interested in ordinary interactions, but she often forgets the age of her own body.

When Mrs. Meng helped Xiurui put on the married phoenix crown and xia veil properly, the wife of the family accompanied her to the outer courtyard to sweep the sedan chair, and the maid behind her followed behind with a broom, Gao Xiang and a mirror in turn. The sisters saluted Mrs. Meng, and Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "The groom will come in a while, you can talk more with your sister." ”

As soon as the adults left, the sisters quieted down, and they all sat around Xiurui, accompanying Xiurui to reflect this short-term joy and apprehension, Xiurui suddenly talked more, and told Xiusun Xiuyun Xiuqian to study hard and learn the rules well, and after a while, she told the sisters to visit the ladies of the next long house.

Xiurui came out of the pavilion today, and the eldest lady and the eldest lady of the long house were both widowed, so they didn't come to see her off, and the third and fifth ladies hadn't taken off their clothes and didn't come.

Later, Xiurui remembered something again, and talked for a long time, and the sisters gradually began to feel a little sad.

The fate of this daughter's family is like duckweed, alas, it always has to be fluttering, Xiusun felt that this happy day remembered this intention and was a little sorry for Xiurui who was going to marry, so she took a big bite of the radish cake in her hand, and swallowed her bad feelings with this cake.

Xiusun was eating fragrantly, and the day before, in order to entertain the new aunt from Fujian, the family specially invited the Fujian chef to make it.

Caught off guard, Xiuqian beside her opened her oily little hand, grabbed her equally oily little hand and ran out.

"Miss! Miss! Miss! The little magpie waiting on the porch outside saw the three Xiusun sisters rushing out in a row, and quickly followed behind, and Xiuyun and Xiuqian's nurse saw it, so they had to hurry up.

"Where are you going?" Xiusun was dragged by Xiuqian and couldn't stop, so she had to run forward together, Xiuyun ran in front, half a dozen small short legs made a series of loud noises on the wooden stairs.

They had barely taken a few steps downstairs when there was an even louder noise on the stairs.

Xiuyun giggled and said, "Didn't you hear the artillery battle outside, of course I went to see what the new brother-in-law looked like." (To be continued.) )
