Chapter VII
The next morning, Acacia crawled out of the bed, and she chose a plain cardigan skirt with purple embroidered vines, because the weather was hot, and the fabric was very light. She has experienced several funerals in her previous life, but unfortunately no matter what season it is, she is required to dress properly, and other times it is okay, but the summer is really unbearable, but fortunately, she is still a child, even if she wears a thin one, no one will say that it is not dignified.
She asked Mama Zhang to run to the main yard early in the morning, and before she could say that her mother was worried about her body so she didn't go to the big house to help, and now she herself is going to go, and if her mother doesn't go, then she will definitely not find an excuse to compare, Mama Zhang is also an old man from her grandfather's house, and her mother will be soft even if she resists. As for the eldest sister, I'm afraid that as soon as the old lady's time comes, she will pass, but don't expect her to think about her mother and herself.
This time in the past funeral, Acacia only chose Pomegranate to accompany her, Mama Zhang wants to be hospitalized, Furong is a big heart, Kapok's mouth is too broken, and she can't hide some things, so it's better to stare at the yard, waiting for herself to come back and listen to more gossip.
But speaking of which, it's really not good to have a capable big girl in the house, but fortunately, Tangzhi is still with her mother, and there shouldn't be any changes in the near future, just wait for Furong to leave and you can move a place for Tangzhi.
Calmly had breakfast, pinched the time Acacia went to Guan's place, and sure enough, Acacia waited at the door for a while, and Guan reluctantly walked out of it with Mama.
Acacia still gave Guan a lot of face in front of outsiders, and stepped forward and saluted and said to Guan: "It's almost time, mother, let's go quickly, if you let the uncle wait for a long time, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
Guan Shi wanted to complain a few words when he saw his daughter, but when he looked up, he found that his daughter's eyes were as cold as frost when she smiled sweetly, and her heart suddenly burst, and she just wanted to take another look, but Acacia had already walked behind her.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Guan Shi was honest, gritted his teeth and endured the tiredness all the way to the front with Acacia, and the carriage outside was ready.
In fact, the big house and the second room are not far apart, when the courtyard of the Ding'anbo Mansion and the second room was originally a courtyard, and then considering that the son wanted to divide the family, the Ding'anbo at that time divided the house into two houses, the second son inherited the second room and left Beijing with his family, and the big house separated the two families by a wall, and completely divided into two families.
According to Chen Guo's rules, relatives should look dusty when they come to do the funeral, otherwise how can it be called a funeral, so everyone did not walk over, but went around the street, and stopped at the gate of Ding'anbo Mansion in a carriage and waited for the people inside to open the door.
Acacia looked out from the inside, the plaque of Ding'an Bo Mansion was much newer than her memory, and there were two strings of white miserable lanterns hanging in front of the door, and at a glance, she knew that the people inside were doing funerals. Although the people in the second room also changed into plain clothes, but in the end, the family was divided, and the house did not have obvious filial piety decorations like the big house.
The gate creaked open, Acacia entered the gate in a carriage, and Guan sat in the corner with a sad expression, wearing a plain white hairpin on his head as if his husband had just died.
The cars of the daughters of the Meng family are driving directly to the second door, Acacia took the opportunity to gather next to the gap in the curtain to look at the scenery in the Bofu, in the previous life because of the relationship between her grandmother and mother, she was not close to the big house and rarely moved, especially later the second room was a mess, the big house simply drew a clear line with the second room, and almost no contact between relatives, so it was still very strange in the Acacia memory of Ding'an Bofu.
"On this hot day, I asked my aunt to come over in person, and our juniors really felt a little sorry for it."
Acacia helped Guan Shi down from the car, and heard a gentle voice, looking at her face from a distance, even though her memory was vague, she still recognized that the person who spoke at the beginning was the future Mrs. Ding'anbo, her aunt Ho.
Looking at the big carriage at the back, the eldest girl, the third girl and Aunt Mei got off, but the grandmother was still holding it in the carriage, this is to put the score of the elders, and it is also a loss that He is a lady will never worry about such a tasteless old lady.
"Hey...... Tell me why this good person suddenly disappeared. The old lady seemed to feel that the shelf was sufficient, so she put a handkerchief in the corner of her eye and came down with a sad face.
He's expression did not change, and he came up to greet the old lady, and the rest of the people also gathered around and stepped forward to salute.
It's nothing on the surface, but He will still observe it secretly, the old lady in the second room is this virtue, if she is angry with her, she will lose her lady's bearing, it is better to coax everyone on the surface and everyone will not be embarrassed, but the family of the little uncle is really not on the stage, if it is not for Sanqi to do it according to the old rules, she will not want to deal with the second room for the rest of her life.
The younger brother and daughter-in-law who cry all day long, the concubine who seems to be shrewd but is actually a fool, and the eldest daughter who is obviously a concubine who seems to be more childish than the concubine, and the third girl who can't wait to say that the family property is her brother.
Frowning, He was first glad that such a comparison with his own children was much more worry-free, and then saw the elegant little girl with a silver head and a face next to Guan. When the uncle of the second room of the Meng family passed away, this little girl was not born for long, and she was a dough at that time, but now she looks like the only one in the second room family that is quite pleasing to the eye.
But it was only the first time, He didn't say anything, she took the old lady to go inside first, and then called a little girl and said: "The eldest girl in the uncle's house has a dirty dress, you take her to change her clothes." ”
Guan's eyes lowered and he didn't care at all, the old lady glanced at it coldly, and Aunt Mei and Meng Guizhi stood aside and watched the show.
Acacia was still a little happy in her heart, after all, in her last life, she made a lot of effort to make the eldest sister change into plain clothes, but people still didn't appreciate it, so this time she didn't say anything, and the eldest sister really came over wearing that peach powder.
But when she looked at the corners of Meng Ruoyao's secretly hidden mouth, that kind of joy was replaced by surprise and deep thought.
Meng Ruoyu really doesn't know that she can't dress up on this day? They have also invited a female gentleman in their family, although they have been dismissed with the dismissal of the female gentleman in Beijing, but some common sense except for her mother who only knows love and does not pay attention to everything, who can really be stupid?
Now look at Meng Ruoyao's dress, even if it is a pink peach blossom, but in the end, the bottom of the skirt is still plain, which will not make the eldest aunt angry and drive her back, nor can she just go to see the guests, this degree of lovesickness thinks that she is not easy to handle after marrying in her previous life, but the eldest sister, who is only eleven years old, is just right.
It's no wonder that the eldest sister was as angry as her in her last life.
Acacia saw Meng Ruoyi following the girl with satisfaction, Meng Guizhi quickly walked a few steps slower to Acacia's side, and said a few ugly and stimulating words, but it was a pity that Acacia's thoughts were on the eldest sister, Meng Guizhi These are all clichés, she is immune, so she didn't give Meng Guizhi any reaction at all.
Meng Guizhi said that she was thirsty, but she hadn't seen Acacia fight back, she wanted to stare at Acacia but found that people didn't pay attention to herself at all, their eyes were all fugue, and she held her breath in her heart, and she couldn't hurt people in Ding'anbo's Mansion, so she had to throw a few cruel words and quickly catch up with the old lady.
He has always flattered the old lady without a match, and secretly observed the girls in the uncle's house in private, she saw that Acacia was bullied by Meng Guizhi to the point that she didn't say anything, and there was no grievance between her eyebrows.
There are no guests in the flower hall at this time, Ding Anbo's eldest daughter Meng Xintong is fifteen years old this year, according to the memory of Acacia, this cousin who has always been faint will soon be married, and it will be privately married at the beginning of next year.
"The eldest man and the second lang in the family are all in front of the foil, and they will come over to greet the old lady in a while. Sister Xi followed the family to help check the kitchen chores, and came over immediately. He first brought the eldest daughter over to show the old lady, and then hurriedly explained the reason why the others were not there.
The old lady nodded symbolically, she had already given a meeting gift when they met for the first time, how could it be possible to have another blood this time? What's more, the girl is a loser in her heart, no matter how good things are in the future, she is very envious of the two sons in the big house, although she is obedient to her grandson, but that is also because there is no grandson, this is absolutely different in the old lady's heart.
For this reason, the old lady also glared at Guan fiercely when she spoke.
Acacia saw that her mother was about to cry again, so she hurriedly helped her over on the grounds that Guan's health was not good, avoiding others, and before she could cry, she dropped the golden beans, saying that it was good to be sad and filial, and it was hard to hear that she came to cry for the lord's family.
Sure enough, as the eldest aunt said, Meng Chenxi, the youngest girl in the big house, came with the girl when the big guy was talking, Acacia remembered that her age was similar to Meng Guizhi, and Meng Guizhi hated this cousin the most in her previous life, in addition to the same age, Meng Chenxi looked more beautiful than her, her family background was superior to her, and even her background was a concubine, which could be regarded as stabbing Meng Guizhi's lungs, which made Acacia look at the joke for a long time.
Meng Xintong, the eldest daughter of the big house, who is indifferent to everyone, saw her sister coming, her expression finally changed slightly, she pulled her sister to salute with everyone in the second room, Meng Chen regretted that she would not lack politeness because of her age, and when Meng Guizhi, who was sour, compared with others, the two of them immediately met.
In addition to inviting people from the second room to come over because of customs or to help the banquet guests, the eldest uncle has not yet attacked the lord, but there are a lot of people who come and go, but because most of them have condoled before, so the people who come over Sanqi are all close to the big house, such as He's maiden Shun Kangbo Mansion, He's close friend Libu Lang's wife, and Meng Xintong's ladies who have good relationships on weekdays.
As more and more guests appeared, seeing that everyone was busy entertaining guests, Acacia was so happy to shrink aside and look at these unknown female dependents who had known each other, and turned over the future of these women, there were scandals and glory, and they suddenly felt interesting and tight.
"I'm sorry, auntie...... I'm late. ”
Everyone in the hall was silent at first, and then they watched a girl as pure as a white orchid walk in, she was wearing a white skirt with silver thread, wearing a pearl head on her head, and a small white velvet flower pinned to her ears, with a shy face.
Acacia was stunned first and then again, it seems that she hasn't recognized this eldest sister clearly in her previous life, and now this eldest sister is so on the stage, not to mention that it can arouse the curiosity of many girls, even the white dress with new and good materials is also a great benefit.
also blamed myself for not being interesting in my previous life, so that I blocked the eldest sister's financial road.
