Chapter 86: Ventilation
Xiusun pulled Xiuyun out of the house, and the third wife also went to find clothes.
With a maid in front leading the way, the third lady asked Xiusun in a low voice, "But what's wrong?" ”
Since the clothes are not enough, it is good to go back to the county government to get them, the Jiangpu County government and the Chu family's old house are only one street apart, but if you want to take Xiuyun's old clothes, you have to make people think deeply.
Xiusun nodded first, admitting that there was something wrong with this, and then groaned, she herself is still a child, and the second old lady has great trust in putting Linghui in the courtyard of the old fourth room, and if it weren't for the second old lady's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to go to the incense yesterday, and the third room is full of people, he will definitely not hand over the only daughter of Chen Zhixian to a seven-year-old girl to take care of, although she doesn't need to take care of it personally, and Ren's mother and others, but it sounds inappropriate.
At the latest tonight, Linghui should be taken to the second old lady to take care of her, and she won't be able to hide anything from the second room at that time, so let the third lady know the situation in advance, and it will always be better to grasp the proportions.
The group entered the third wife's house, the maid made tea, and the maid's daughter-in-law opened the box cage and took out Xiuyun's old clothes when she was a child one by one for the third wife.
Xiusun took advantage of the maid's daughter-in-law's efforts to open the box and cage, and whispered to the third wife about the rough lining of Linghui's clothes, and the people who served around her did not wear underwear for the children at all.
The third lady took the teacup with her hand and sighed, "There is still such a thing, this child has no mother, it is really eleven thousand difficulties." ”
Xiuyun was also worried on the side.
Xiusun was worried that the third wife felt that the Chen family did not attach importance to Linghui, so she added, "The old mansion of Chen Ge has deep roots, and it is impossible for Chen Zhixian to come to Pukou to take office There are not enough people to summon, I estimate that he may want to take advantage of these few days to change the servant women he brought." ”
The third lady stared at her and nodded slowly, "It should be like this,"
The third wife has been married into the Chu family for more than ten years, and has lived with her father-in-law and mother-in-law all the year round, so she still knows the second old lady well.
It seems that his father-in-law wants to win over this Lord Chen, and the third wife glanced at Xiusun, who was still as stunned as usual, this Chen Zhixian is related to the sixth old lady in the fourth room.
A wise man speaks to the point.
The third wife is a daughter of Xiuyun, and she always makes a lot of clothes for her, and the child's body grows fast, and Xiuyun grows taller before she has time to put on her body.
The maid's daughter-in-law spread the small clothes that she hadn't had time to wear on the Luohan bed, as well as a few underwear of Songjiang Sansuo cloth, which happened to be needed.
The outer clothes are not easy to find, and most of the elders are willing to see children wear brightly colored clothes, and now Linghui is wearing filial piety, Xiusun had to pick a set of calamus color, a set of sand green, all of which are Hangzhou silk, and the rest are silk or brocade, and the colors are colorful.
The third wife saw Xiusun's face embarrassed, and remembered Fang Cai Xiusun's words, so she said, "Let's take these two pieces and wear them first, and I will order the needle and thread to make a few plain clothes and come out." ”
Xiusun was overjoyed when she heard this, and blessed the third wife, "Thank you, third aunt." ”
Xiusun doesn't want Linghui to be wronged, and she doesn't want Ke Min to be wronged, if she asks the old fourth room to make clothes for Linghui, it will somewhat bypass the meaning of Jiangpu's old house, which is not very good, if you directly ask Jiangpu old house to do it, it will be a little abrupt, and now the third wife takes the initiative to put it forward, it is even better.
"It's all a family, so don't see each other." The third lady took Xiusun and Xiuyun back to the courtyard of the second old lady, and the maid and daughter-in-law behind her were holding the clothes they had just chosen.
The third master took Chen Xu and Xu Jingxing to the third room to say hello, and since they recognized their relatives, they naturally wanted to recognize all the elders.
It seems that the second old lady attaches great importance to this connection, and it is so solemn to recognize a turning parent.
Linghui stayed on the second old lady's Luohan bed, and was dragging the handkerchief in the little maid's hand and called "Auntie".
The second old lady was surprised, and when she saw Xiusun coming in, she asked, "Is this child very close to his aunt on weekdays?" Why don't you see the caregiver serving on the side? ”
Xiusun suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said, "It was the same with me yesterday, and I only said these two words. But there was no speculation about the intimacy between Linghui and her aunt.
The second old lady pondered for a moment, and then stopped asking.
Xiusun took the clothes on the tray, compared them on Linghui's shoulder, and straightened her sleeves to measure her arms, "It fits perfectly, you can wear it directly without modification now." ”
The third wife was also very happy to see it.
When Linghui saw Xiusun, she threw away the handkerchief in her hand and drilled into Xiusun's arms, shouting, "Auntie." ”
The second old lady corrected her, "This is my sister." ”
Linghui smirked and drooled.
The second old lady looked at the day, "Let's use lunch at the second grandmother's place, don't go to school this afternoon, and accompany Linghui to familiarize myself here." "It seems that I want to keep Linghui in my own house.
Xiuyun jumped up happily when she heard this, "Great, grandmother, can I call Xiuqian to come over and play together?" "In this way, Xiuqian doesn't have to go to school.
The second old lady glanced at Xiusun and said, "Okay, call Xiuqian and Xiuzhi over for dinner, you can play together in the afternoon, but you have to watch Linghui carefully, you can't go crazy." ”
Xiuyun immediately responded.
Xiusun suddenly remembered that the second old lady and the third lady had just returned from the temple in the morning, and before they had time to rest, they sent the little magpie back to the courtyard of the fourth room and called Xiuqian and Xiuzhi over.
After lunch, the mother-in-law on the needlework came to measure Linghui's size, Xiusun persuaded the second old lady and the third lady to rest, and the four sisters led a group of maids and mothers-in-law to take Linghui out of the moon cave gate and play in the water pavilion at the gate of the courtyard.
The breeze is quiet, and it is a good place to rest in the afternoon.
Although it is called the Water Pavilion, it is not near the water, and outside the circle of gooseneck chairs around the pillars of the Water Pavilion, there is a wide bluestone platform, which is square, and the simple and smooth ice cracks spread out on the ground, and the railing at the water's edge is only as high as a knee.
Xiuzhi instructed the maids and daughters-in-law to keep an eye on Linghui and only play in the water pavilion, and told Xiusun to pay attention to safety.
After the tea fruit was placed in the water pavilion, Xiuqian and Xiuyun shrank together and whispered, Xiuzhi took a red rope from her purse and came out to tie the rope, Xiusun had nothing to do, and her eyes followed Linghui to do simple and harmonious movements.
The pond is clear and the water is microwaved, and there are a few round green leaves floating on the water surface, which looks like it should be a water lily, but it is not yet the flowering season.
On the edge of the water pavilion, at the corner of the road, there is a big willow tree, the warm spring breeze blows the green silk of the tree, the willow tree stretches its branches obliquely, like an elegant beauty, with her chest in her mouth, her head bowed, and she is ashamed to answer.
The warm sun in the afternoon was too warm, and it was easy to make people feel tired, Xiusun glanced at Linghui who was running happily around the water pavilion, and confirmed that a total of five people followed, including Ah Hong, who was very skilled, and put her mind at ease, and was planning to close her eyes and recuperate.
But he saw a dark figure coming out from behind the willow tree. (To be continued.) )
