Zhou Zhenwei ate a bowl of porridge, half a piece of candied date yellow cake, and talked to the old lady for a while, before standing up and leaving.

Seeing that he was gone, the eldest lady looked at the old lady and smiled: "Can the old lady hear clearly?" Zhenwei asked me to propose! ”

The old lady was a little confused: "Which girl is it?" I've never heard of you both! ”

"Do you need to mention it?" The eldest lady said firmly: "Old lady, have you forgotten jì?" Naturally, it's that girl! ”

"Miss Fang?" The old lady thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it, I don't know if it's a square girl or a round girl!" ”

"Ancestor, Zhulan will help you remember, it is the Miss Fang who accompanied the fourth master of Shangyuan Festival to see the lights." Zhulan was waiting for her to rinse and couldn't help but interject to remind.

"It's me who is confused!" Only then did the old lady recall and said with a smile: "It seems that she is also a learned daughter!" ”

"She is the daughter of Fang Changhui, a bachelor in Hanlin Academy, her name is Yumu, she looks thoughtful, has a modest temperament, and is also very knowledgeable." The eldest lady was very satisfied: "I have been with her for a while, and I like it very much." ”

"What do you like, it's always true that Zhenwei likes it."

The old lady was a little disapproving, and when the eldest lady heard it in her ears, she pursed her lips more and more, and pretended to complain: "I know that the old lady loves this grandson the most in her heart, and I have never seen the old lady worry so hard when I was looking for a daughter-in-law." ”

For a while, the maids and women in the room all giggled.

The eldest lady continued: "The old lady doesn't know, but I've been paying attention, after the two of them watched the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival, I looked at Zhenwei for a long time, and there was a piece of white jade with the size of a bird's egg hanging on his waist, the color of the silk was good, and the knot was exquisite, and people liked it in their hearts, I asked Miss Fang privately, and she admitted it with a shy face!" Yesterday I went to Zhenwei's room, helped to pick up the lining, and saw a piece of the girl's home red silk handkerchief, neatly folded like a treasure, hidden under the pillow, you see, it's all like this, don't you like it, what's it called? ”

After a pause, she approached the old lady, lowered her voice and said: "I am also a little selfish, thinking of finding a nephew and daughter-in-law who is easy to get along with and has some knowledge, and in the future, there will be someone to help in and out of this house, and it will be easier to fall!" ”

The old lady poked her forehead and squinted with a smile: "You are also a calculating!" It's just that Zhenwei has never mentioned it to me? I guess I feel awkward in my heart, and I'm embarrassed to say it. Hurry up and get ready, find the best coal in the city, and go with her! ”

"Do you need to mention this old lady?" The eldest lady was a little proud: "I have already made an appointment with Aunt Li, the most popular matchmaker in the city, and I have also asked someone to prepare the grass post and the fine post, so I only need to prepare another load of aged Huadiao wine, and send it over with flowers and silk red and gorgeous." That girl, I know that she also has a heart for Zhenwei, and the return gifts are ready, just waiting for us to propose marriage and accept her family's things, and this matter is almost done! ”

"You're a good one. This is not a small matter, I will rest assured that I will hand it over to you, and there will be many places to use the money next, and I will spend it from my room, don't be afraid of making money, I will always give him a beautiful daughter-in-law to come in! The old lady sighed: "It's also worthy of his father and mother under the nine springs!" ”

Speaking of the sentimental area here, I couldn't stop crying, and the eldest lady gently persuaded her, and after a while, the daughters-in-law of each room came in one after another to say goodbye, so she didn't mention it

Qingming is coming, the smoke and rain are light, and the willows are yellow and wet.

Yuqiao can't float for half a day, she is a serious character, and now she is deeply in love, so she naturally has to describe the portrait of that person carefully, as small as the eyebrows, eyelashes, knuckles and toes, you have to concentrate and look at it, and the paint should also be bright and positive.

On this day, the portrait has been completed**, Bixiu and Caifu gathered in front of the bookcase to take a closer look, and after a while, Caifu couldn't help but say: "Miss, you hang this painting on the wall, and Lord Zhou will come out of the silk at night!" ”

When Yuqiao heard this, her face suddenly turned red, and she was about to twist her mouth. Bixiu hurriedly smiled and said: "The slave maid has served in front of the former queen's mother, that is also a wonderful hand Danqing, she is good at freehand, the pen is full of ink, the charm is ethereal, look at the young lady's painting should be good at the brush, in order to paint into the wood three points, lifelike, really like alive!" ”

Yuqiao pursed her lips and smiled, stared at Caifu, and pointed at Bixiu and said: "Learn from her well, how can you say a good word of praise, your sister Bixiu is in a good mood, and you will make people anxious if you say a word?" ”

"Caifu is young, when she is innocent, it would be nice to be older!" Bixiu was kind enough to help her solve the siege.

"I'm not young, I'll be in time for next year!" Tsefu puffed out her cheeks and argued.

Bixiu was choked by her, and sighed: "What a master who can't understand people's words and doesn't know the hearts of good people!" ”

Yu Qiao looked at them laughing, and then looked at the face of the person in the painting, with a good wind, through the window screen and blue, and finally couldn't help but smile and float his lips, only to feel that the years are quiet, the present world is stable, what else to ask for!

Cai Fu came to her at this time, salivated his face, smacked his lips and said: "Miss, the fried frozen fish head sent by Lord Zhou last time was very delicious, and it has been a few days, if Miss wants to, can the slave go and buy some?" ”

"I don't want to, it's you who want to panic!" Yuqiao was about to tease her, and Lu'er, who was guarding the door outside, lifted the curtain in a panic at this time to reveal half of her head, and shouted in her mouth, "The master is here!" ”

The three men in the room were suddenly a little scrambling, and Caifu was already frightened and could not be counted on; Yu Qiao picked up the painting, the paint on it had not yet dried, and it was not easy to fold, she was a little weak and panicked; Bixiu was calm, looked around, thought about it, took the painting directly from Yuqiao's hand, stepped on the rose chair, took down Dong Sibai's landscape map on the wall, hung the picture first, and then hung the landscape map on the outer layer, but I couldn't see any clues.

Before he could catch his breath, Lu'er had already opened the curtain, and Mrs. Chu stepped in slowly.

He frowned and looked at the three people standing stiffly in front of him, one girl was stupid, the other girl was silent, although his daughter was calm, but no matter how she looked at it, it was weird. He didn't poke it either, he glanced at the bookcase at random, and there were pens of various sizes spread out, the tip of the pen was damp, and it was evident that he had not used it for a long time, and the bowl was full of all kinds of paints, a little messy, and he had just painted no matter how he looked at it.

He casually asked, "What about the paintings?" ”

"What a painting!" The three of them spoke in unison, but they were neat.

The atmosphere was a little condensed, and the father's eyes were sharp and difficult to resist. After a while, Yuqiao sighed, looked at Caifu and Bixiu, and ordered with a smile: "Caifu, aren't you going to buy fried frozen fish heads?" Why don't you go soon? Bixiu, you go to the fulcrum and put Yu Caifu with silver. Lu'er is guarding outside, and I talk to my father alone! ”
