Chapter 50: Another Encounter
"Are you telling the truth? What did my mother-in-law say to you? Xie Zhong helped Xu, who had finished washing, to sit on the edge of the bed and sat beside her.
"Well, my mother took Sister Xiu to Hong'en Temple a few days ago to make incense and repay her wish for my sister-in-law's birth. met Mrs. Pingxi Hou with Mrs. Shizi and the second young grandmother, and the two families ate together in the temple. Mrs. Hou has always praised Sister Xiu'er for being well-behaved and obedient, and she also gave Sister Xiu'er the bracelet she is used to carrying. In addition, he also sent the second young grandmother to take the show group to the backyard to see the flowers.
"My mother also thinks it's strange, this Pingxi Hou has never had anything to do with our family. After Sister Xiu'er went out, Mrs. Hou began to talk about how difficult it was for Third Master Yue, and how important it was not to be righteous. He also said that he only had three sons, and only the youngest son could not reassure him, and he only hoped that he would have no regrets when he could see Yue Sanye begging for a good family affair and having another grandson. You said, it's all said to this point, how could my mother still be wrong. ”
"According to this, this must be Mrs. Hou's own thoughts, and she must not know it." Xie Zhong stood up, walked a few steps around the room, and continued,
"After the autumn banquet last year, I thought he had a heart for the girl named Wisteria, so I found an opportunity to ask him, if he really liked to bring it back, it would be good to add fragrance to the red sleeves. I don't want him to laugh out loud and say when I started to do women's things. I just thought that Wisteria's method of teaching Brother Yue was unique, and I thought that a little girl could have that kind of knowledge, which surprised him, so I rewarded it casually. ”
"Although Sister Xiu is a concubine, you also know that she has been raised under my mother's name since she was a child. My mother is also carefully taught, and she will not lose to those daughters in the slightest, if she can really get into the eyes of Yue Sanye, it may not be a good thing. Xu took off his shoes and wanted to lie down.
Xie Zhong hurriedly stepped forward, helped his wife, set up the pillow, and found a comfortable posture for Xu. "Well, that's what I thought too. It's not a way for him to go on like this, he just goes to the temple to preach with the monks every day, or he goes to the calligraphy and painting market to stay for a day, Uncle Yue Shi thought about finding an errand for him, after all, he was a serious Jinshi background, but he refused. Now I don't even have a room girl around, and even I don't know what he's thinking about a day? ”
As he spoke, he took off his shoes and went to bed. Xu Shi gently pushed him and said coquettishly, "You haven't been ...... for a few days Go to the west and let Yanrong serve you. After speaking, he blushed, Yanrong was Xie Zhong's other roommate.
Xie Zhong didn't reflect for a while after hearing Xu say this, and when he saw her mention Yanrong, he realized that what she said didn't mean for a few days. The corners of his mouth lifted lightly, he put down the bed tent casually, turned around and hugged Xu Shi and said, "Find her to do something, just serve the lady as a husband." ”
"Hey~~ Be careful of the child."
"Don't worry, I know what matters."
"Hmm......" Xu was about to say more, but was blocked by Xie Zhong.
I don't know how Grandpa Guo told the Tan family, but within a few days, the Tan family began to take Li Yingzhi and Sister Fang to participate in the banquets in various mansions, and Xie Fang was naturally happy to go out again. Just in time for summer, I cut a lot of new clothes in one go.
After Wisteria was officially promoted to the third class, it was specially responsible for the ironing and storage of Xie Fang's clothes. At this time, he was holding a kettle filled with hot water to iron an eight-piece Hunan skirt for Xie Fang, saying that he was going to Prince Li's mansion tomorrow to attend the princess's birthday banquet. An opportunity like this, let alone wisteria, even Yuan Yue is not qualified to go, so she has to be accompanied by Mother Liu and Jiaohong Jiaoxing.
Wisteria was not at all disappointed that she couldn't go to the palace, on the contrary, she was now happy in her heart. Because the second lady will not be in the house tomorrow, she took leave from Liu's mother and went out of the house to see Yu's mother. Because Zirui was about to give birth, Liu's mother also specially asked Wisteria to take a box of snacks that had just been rewarded in the palace for Zirui to take. The wisteria needlework couldn't be used anymore, and I thought about going to Defeng Lou tomorrow to buy a pair of ready-made small silver bracelets. Wisteria attended a colleague's full moon banquet in her previous life, and saw the silver bracelet worn by the child, with a small bell hanging on it, which was particularly beautiful.
The next day, after watching the Guogong Mansion and his party go out of the mansion in a majestic manner, Wisteria changed into a newly made summer shirt. It was a dark blue silk short, with a white gauze skirt embroidered with small blue petals, and a white belt held the delicate waist in place. Her jet-black hair was tied into two buns, and a silk flower the size of a plum blossom was inserted on one side. Although it is simple, it exudes such a fresh and elegant taste.
It didn't take much effort, and Cai'er also changed into new clothes and entered the garden. After the New Year, Cai'er began to grow taller, and the original baby's fat face began to appear as a girl's emaciation. She originally had big eyes, but now she is not so fat, and she is more and more likeable. Because she came to Graceland a lot, she looked cute and cute, and she was deeply liked by Liu's mother.
The two of them went out of the back corner door, and a bluestone alley appeared in front of them. Separated by a row of neat white-walled and black-tiled houses in the stone alley, these are the residences of the managers who work in the house. After leaving Bluestone Alley, turn left and go onto a street, and there are almost no people walking on the whole street. Because they are the only one on the street where the Chungkook Mansion is located, there are no idle people here.
It wasn't until you got out of this street that you entered the urban area of Tiandu City. Although Wisteria has been here for almost a year, it has also come out a few times, especially after Yu's mother moved to the capital, she will leave the house after saving up for a period of time. But every time, Gu Hai or Gu He came to pick her up and Cai'er, and then Lin Qing came to pick her up. It's just that this time Lin Qing went to Prince Li's Mansion with Xie Yi, and Gu Hai couldn't leave the shop. And Gu He did a good job in the last time he went to inspect various Zhuangzi, and won the appreciation of the housekeeper, and he went to Jiangnan a few days ago, and he was not even by his side when his first daughter was born.
Fortunately, Cai'er is in the big kitchen, and there is always a chance to go out for a walk with her mother on the stove by taking the opportunity to buy. Looking back, the little longevity lock that Qin's daughter-in-law gave birth to her daughter was bought by Cai'er. Therefore, after the two of them walked on the street, Cai'er led the wisteria straight to Defeng Tower.
Defeng Tower is a three-storey high-rise building in the prosperous area of the city, covering a huge area, and hanging a golden plaque. Unlike other silver buildings, they receive customers regardless of the class of customers, but they are divided into three, six, nine and so on according to the floor, and the customers on each level go through different passages, so there is no need to worry about the nobles being bumped.
For Wisteria and Cai'er, it is natural to be a guest in the lobby on the first floor. The two entered the hall, although there were not many people, but the shopkeeper was also very busy. Because she had already prepared what to buy, Cai'er pulled the wisteria and went straight to the counter selling the bracelet.
"Two girls, what do you want to buy?" The second child is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man, extremely clean, with a flattering smile. When he saw the two little girls come in, he put a silver bracelet on it, and the velvet plate of the bracelet was brought out and placed on the countertop.
Wisteria stretched out his head to look, picked it up and looked at this and that, but he was not satisfied. Seeing this, the shopkeeper asked, "Dare to ask this girl, but do you want to wear it yourself or give it away?" ”
"It's her sister who is going to give birth, and she wants to give it to her future little nephew." Cai'er said quickly.
"Coincidentally, our store just made a set of silver bracelets suitable for giving a full moon gift, and I didn't have time to put it out, two of you wait, the little one will go and take a look with the two girls." As he spoke, he opened the curtain and entered the inner room, and after a while, he walked out with two stacks of red velvet trays and put them on the counter.
Wisteria looked over one by one, and suddenly an extremely smooth bracelet engraved with ruyi patterns caught her attention, and Wisteria picked it up and looked closely, and saw that the bracelet was actually hollowed out in the middle, and there were a few small silver beads rolling around with her movements. Wisteria couldn't help but look stunned, this ancient man was really smart.
"This style was designed and made by my master of Defeng Building, and this girl is holding this one! How's it going, are you satisfied? ”
Although there is no imaginary little bell, this chic shape still makes Wisteria like it, and nods vigorously, "Satisfied, satisfied, I want this, how much does it cost?" ”
"This is made of this year's new silver, so it's a little more expensive, and the pair you hold in your hand is ten taels of silver."
"How much? Ten taels? It's so expensive! Cai'er said loudly.
Feeling the gaze from nearby, Wisteria only felt a fever on his face. She tugged at Cai'er's sleeve hard. Cai'er also seemed to feel that she had reflected too much, and said in a low voice: "Wisteria, this is too expensive, I don't even need five taels of silver, but it sells for ten taels." ”
The little second heard Cai'er say this, but he was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "This girl, you can't say that, this kind of workmanship and this method of making our family is not me bragging, you can't find the second one when you go all over the Tiandu City." ”
I believe this, but the price is really a bit expensive, and when I touch the purse in my arms, I really don't take so much silver. Looking at this pair of bracelets, the small silver beads inside were spinning around, Wisteria could only sigh, gently put it back in the tray, and apologized honestly with an embarrassed face,
"I'm sorry, our sisters didn't think it would be so expensive, so we didn't get enough silver, let's buy it again when we have a chance to buy this later, can you introduce other styles?"
Xiao Er was just about to move the tray below when a gentle voice came from behind Wisteria, "Since you like this, just buy it." Xiao Er also said, this is the only one, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it. ”
Wisteria was stunned, how could he meet him here, didn't he look at the appearance of having no money just now but he wanted to take care of the goods. Cai'er next to her had never seen Yue Zhen, she looked at this son with wide eyes, and then looked at the stunned wisteria, and asked uncertainly: "Childe, are you talking to my sister?" ”
