You Shi was dragging his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing in the room to discuss what kind of tricks to use for the curtain of the hanging bed, and when he heard Jia Zhen ask like this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't this the house over there that picked up Miss Lin into Beijing." I think that the girls in the two mansions are also getting older, and the old lady has so many grandchildren by her side, it is inevitable that she will not have enough energy, and she will not be able to take care of the whole situation. In this case, it is better to take our four girls back to live. Everyone should take care of each other. ”

When Jia Zhen heard this, she frowned disapprerovingly, and said casually: "I see that little sister Xichun is very good in front of the old lady." There are both elders and girls of the same generation who play and learn, but they are more comfortable than at home. ”

You Shi shook his head and said with a smile: "The common people also have a saying, saying that the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels. No matter how good it is, it is not your home after all. If the old man felt that the fourth sister was well raised in Nafu, he would only let her study with the sisters. I still come back to sleep at night. When the time comes, she wants to invite the sisters to come over for tea and flowers, but there is also a place, isn't it? She is the girl in our house. Naturally, the degree of food and clothing cannot be the same as that of the girl in Nafu. Otherwise, what will happen to our house? ”

When Jia Zhen heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You are too careful." Who would think that way from an outsider? Well, after all, it's your inner woman's business, and you can do it yourself. ”

After that, he asked Jia Zhen with a smile: "When will you start eating, I'm hungry?" ”

When You Shi heard this, he laughed and joked: "I haven't seen anyone who is hungry when he enters the door." Could it be that your old man is reluctant to spend money when he is eating flowers and wine and holding a small drama outside, so people don't even give you a full bite of food? ”

Jia Zhen listened to You Shi's ridicule, and was a little unable to get off the stage. He glanced at his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing in a daze, and said boringly: "In front of your daughter-in-law, what do you say you have to do with this?" ”

You Shi heard this, but smiled silently. He turned around and instructed the silver plate standing beside him: "Go and ask the kitchen man to pass the meal, and say that your master is hungry." ”

The silver disc agreed for a while. You Shi thought for a while, and then instructed the silver bottle: "That fried quail last night did a good job. You go to the kitchen and give me an order, and you say to make another one. Paired with a jar of good Huiquan wine, the lord wants to eat. ”

When Jia Zhen heard this, she said, "Then ask the kitchen to simmer a ham stewed elbow." In the past two days, I have always felt that my spleen and stomach are not in harmony, and I want to eat something rotten and easy to restrain myself. ”

As he spoke, You Shi had already pulled Qin Keqing and continued to discuss what kind of tricks were hung on the curtains in the house. Jia Zhen felt bored for a moment when she heard this, waved her hand and walked out of the room, and turned around to her aunt's house.

Early the next morning, You Shi first went to the Rong Mansion to greet the old lady and the two wives. Because he mentioned that he wanted to pick up the three girls and go back to the house to play for a day. The two ladies of Jia Mu and Xing Wang naturally would not disagree. Instead, he smiled and said to You Shi, "I'm tired of you."

You Shi got Jia's mother's consent, and gossiped again, and everyone dispersed with each other. You Shi came out of Jia's mother's upper room, and visited Li Kun's mother and son and Sister Feng by the way, and talked for a while, Sister Feng had to ask You Shi about how You Sanjie was doing recently, and asked her why she didn't come to the house these days. But I feel that the maid in the house has something to do with it.

When You Shi heard this, he smiled and said, "This is how much you have to do." My sister is either busy with this or that during the day. I can't be idle at all. If she doesn't come these days, it must be that the flowers in the flower garden are blooming after spring, and she has to take a look, and she knows it, so she can plan to buy and sell the mirror flowers. You know that too. Nowadays, the rouge gouache in the mirror flower edge is the most famous in our Chang'an City. How many ladies and even the ladies in the palace love something. The third sister is also worried about these things, for fear that it will not be good if she neglects it for a while. ”

Sister Feng said with a smile: "The third sister has always been a person who does big things. I know all of this. It's just that I haven't seen her for a few days, and I really miss her in my heart, so I just asked in vain. But when it comes to the third sister, I think of the second girl in your family...... Does she have someone now? ”

When You Shi heard this, he guessed a little in his heart, shook his head and smiled: "I haven't said anyone yet." We're all relatives of the family, so I don't have to hide it from you. You also know a thing or two about her. I just retired a few years ago—"

Before You finished speaking, Sister Feng hurriedly smiled again: "Those who are out of tune like that, if they retreat, they will retreat." It's not me as an outsider gossiping, this family business should have retired a long time ago. With the appearance and character of the second sister, it is not bad to marry into the palace. I met such a master who wants a family background and no family background, and who wants a character but no character and does not grow up. I don't respect and want to go down, and I want to take the girl who is tired of our family, and I don't want to see if he is worthy of marrying such a fairy-like daughter? ”

Sister Feng sneered, and took You Shi's hand and said, "I have a family to tell the second sister now." This person, regardless of family background, or appearance and conduct, is one in a million. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a character with all four corners. If this family business is completed, you will have to thank me as a matchmaker. ”

You Shi was very moved when he heard this, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "What is that family, you say I will listen to it?" ”

Sister Feng smiled and said: "The prince of Beijing in the four different surnames is watery, he is seventeen years old this year, his appearance and character, family background and talent, don't I need to bother to talk about it?" Who in the city of Chang'an does not know. Such a character with all four corners is worthy of the second girl of your family? ”

"Oh, it's him!" You Shi listened to Sister Feng'er's words, and was overjoyed, and immediately took Sister Feng'er's hand and asked with a smile: "If it is really him, then there is nothing wrong with it." If you can really say this family business, I want you to thank you as much as I want. ”

Sister Feng smiled proudly: "This matter was first mentioned by the princess of Beijing to my aunt. I just said that I had seen your second sister a few times when I was in Chen Yuan. I don't think she has a good look and character, and it is rare to have a temperament and Shun'an at any time, which is very in line with the old lady's wishes. The old lady wanted to go directly to You's house to propose. It's just that I'm afraid that it won't be beautiful if it's abrupt. So I asked my aunt to go to Chen's house to find out first. Because when Princess Beijing went to visit Wang's house yesterday, it happened that I also went to visit my uncle and aunt. After listening to such an ear, I originally planned that if you don't come today, I will also pass. It just so happens that you are here again, so it can be seen that this is a coincidence. ”

After that, he asked You again why he remembered to come to this mansion today.

You Shi came back to his senses, and he had to mention to Sister Feng that he wanted to take Xichun back to live. Sister Feng pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry. If you can trust me, listen to me. You also know that the old lady likes to be lively the most, so she keeps the girls around. The fourth girl was even hugged when she was a baby. The old lady has been raised for so many years, and now you are going to take her back coldly, and the old lady will inevitably feel uncomfortable when she hears it. Let's wait and see. ”

You Shi smiled when he heard this: "I think so too. Originally, I thought that the girls were all older, and it would be inconvenient to crowd them all together. What's more, there is a Lin girl here now. It became more and more compact. ”

As soon as the two of them laughed, Mrs. Wang sent a little girl to pass the word, and when Sister Feng saw this, she had to get up and say goodbye to You's.

You Shi smiled and came out of Sister Feng's room and turned to the fourth girl's room.

At that time, the four girls were painting in the study, and they heard the maid say that her sister-in-law was here. Stand up and salute. You Shi smiled and pulled the fourth girl to sit beside her, and said with a smile in her mouth: "...... I cleaned up the house and study for you, but I don't know what you like, so I'll ask you what you mean. Come with me today. See what else to add? ”

The fourth girl is one year younger than Miss Lin, and Yuxue is cute. Hearing what You Shi said, Deng Shi tilted his head suspiciously and asked, "Why do you want me to go back, if I go back, what should Sister Yingchun do with Sister Tanchun?" ”

You Shi smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to go back." It's just a house for you. You are the eldest girl from our Ning Mansion, and now you live in this mansion, just to have the rules of the elders' upbringing. When your sister is older, and your brother Baoyu is older, it will be inconvenient for everyone to live with each other, and then you will go back to live. But if you want to come back and read and have fun with the sisters during the day, that's up to you. ”

Xichun nodded ignorantly. I talked to You for a while, and was taken by You to find Spring and Lin Daiyu. At that time, Baoyu was also playing nine consecutive rings with Lin Daiyu in the room. I heard that You Shi wanted to take a few girls to Ningfu to play, so he had to go noisily. Seeing this, Mother Jia also persuaded You to bring Baoyu over.

You Shi couldn't, so he had to wait for Baoyu to change his clothes. My sister-in-law and sister took a car, and Baoyu followed in a sedan chair.

Over there, Qin Keqing had already instructed the little girl to prepare food and drinks, and only coaxed the girls to play. Seeing that Baoyu was also coming over, You Shi pointed at Baoyu and smiled at Qin Ke: "That's your Uncle Bao, although you are a nephew and daughter-in-law, how many years older than him." Just play with him for a while. ”

Qin had no choice but to laugh.

This You took advantage of the girls to play, took Xichun to her small courtyard, looked at the boudoir and study, and asked Xichun what ornaments he liked, so he could add them slowly.

Xichun grew up in the Rong Mansion since he was a child, and his food and clothing are the same as the two sisters, where have I ever seen such treatment. I can't help but be happy. Hearing You Shi's question, he nodded again and again and smiled: "This is already very good." There's nothing wrong with that. ”

He grabbed You Shi's hand again and asked, "When I come back, can I invite Sister Yingchun and Sister Lin to come and live?" ”

You Shi smiled when he heard this: "That's nature. You are the daughter of our Ning Mansion. Don't say that you invite your own sister's family to play, when you go out with me to meet more people and make close friends from other families, you can also post to invite them to come over to play. ”
