In the afternoon, Zong Zhengke got up for a nap, washed up, and went to greet his grandfather and Mrs. Ren with a clear heart. The main hall of Helu Tongchun Hall is used to entertain guests, and the east room is the place where the two elders and the younger generations share a family. It was already full of people, and when Qiu Tang welcomed her in, she heard a crisp sound of chirping outside the curtain.

This is the sixth girl, Zong Zhengyue, talking. As soon as Zong Zhengke appeared, several girls ranked below her stood up, and even Zong Zhengyue, who hurriedly stopped her mouth, got up from the arms of the old lady Ren and saluted her.

Zong Zhengke bowed his knees to Mrs. Ren and said respectfully: "Say hello to the old lady." In the morning, the granddaughter went to Qiluo Pavilion to pick out some materials for her grandfather and the old lady to cut summer clothes. ”

The smile on Mrs. Ren's face retracted a little, but she didn't dare to ignore this granddaughter, so she said lightly: "If you have a heart, you don't have to measure the size, just take the ready-made one back." If it's all right, sit down. He pulled Zong Zhengyue to sit beside him and continued the topic, "The princess's honor guard has really entered the city?" ”

Zong Zhengke originally planned to leave as soon as she ordered it, but when the old lady asked about the princess's honor guard, her heart moved and she decided to stay and listen to the excitement. She first saluted Mrs. Ping, who was sitting at the head of a row of chairs on her left, and then met Mrs. Liu San, who was sitting opposite Mrs. Ping. The two wives were very polite and reached out to support her.

After a sisterhood ceremony with Zong Zhengyu, the eldest girl sitting at the head of the second Mrs. Ping, and the second girl Zong Zhengci who was next to Zong Zhengyu, and received the salute from the rest of the girls, Zong Zhengke walked to the empty seat at the end of his left hand. In terms of ranking, she should sit under Zong Zhengci.

The Zongzheng family has been scholarly for generations, and they attach great importance to etiquette and rules. But in normal times, sisters would not be so polite. Old Lady Ren felt that she was disturbed by Zong Zhengke, and her face was a little unhappy for a while.

Mrs. Ping gave Zong Zhengyue, who was stunned for some reason, a little uncomfortable, and said with a reluctant smile: "Thank you for the cat house sent by the third sister, my jade tuan'er likes it very much." Yutuan is naughty. If you break the third sister's love thing, please don't be polite to me, just say it. ”

Early this morning, Zong Zhengyue was washing. The eldest girl came to Fengmo to tell that the third girl had sent someone to send a chic and exquisite boxwood cat house. She didn't understand what was going on, so Feng Mo said tactfully what the future meant. She only knew that the cat she raised had actually entered Qingyi Tower at night. They also brought a few snow-white hairs, which looked a bit like the snow-white kittens she raised.

Old Lady Ren heard Zong Zhengyue say this. I asked for details. Zong Zhengyue didn't think it was a big deal, so he talked about it one by one. Seeing that Zong Zhengke's expression was faint, Mrs. Ren looked indifferent, so she didn't fight anymore.

Although she didn't see all the furnishings in Qingyi Building, Mama Cui had already told her about it. Nothing else, as far as the furnishings in that study are concerned, I'm afraid even the old lady's study is slightly inferior. But those are the dowries of Mrs. Xiao, the mother of the family, and she was tempted at the beginning, and intended to leave a few things for her grandson Brother Dong's future envoys.

As for the several study utensils that she quietly gave to Mrs. Ping Er in Zong Zhenglun's study before. She whispered back again. People didn't pay attention to those good things at all, and only picked better ones. Mrs. Ren complained to Mama Cui more than once, a girl's family, calling such a good study, can she read a champion? !

Of course, these slanderous words, Mrs. Ren would never dare to say it to Zong Zheng. Even if she had sour water in her stomach at this time, she could only praise a few words on the surface for Zong Zhengke's generosity and sensibility, and pity her sister.

Zong Zhengke raised his eyes, and his eyes swept over the insincere face of the old lady Ren. fell on Zong Zhengyue again, and asked lightly: "The sixth sister is also on the street today?" ”

"Went and bought some drawing paper." Zong Zhengyue perfunctorily passed Zong Zhengke's inquiry, sat down and returned to the arms of the old lady, and continued to show his knowledge. "Grandmother, the princess who entered the city is not ordinary, the granddaughter heard that it was the queen mother's daughter-in-law, the eldest princess of Kunshan, and the eldest daughter Princess Taicheng and the youngest daughter Princess Yicheng came together. No wonder the honor guard couldn't see the edge at a glance, it turned out that there were three princesses and phoenixes who were there. ”

Old lady Ren hugged Zong Zhengyue in her arms and said with a smile: "I guess I came to congratulate the eldest princess of Qinghe on her birthday." ”

Zong Zhengke was coquettish and stupid: "Grandmother, good grandmother." People also want to go and see Her Royal Highness the princess. Would you like to take someone with you to pay a birthday greeting to the eldest princess?! ”

Old lady Ren glanced at Zong Zhengke, who lowered her head and lowered her eyes, sighed and said, "No, people only gave three posts." The eldest princess's mansion is too high, and it's great that we can get an invitation, so it's really hard to ask for too much. ”

At lunch, she mentioned to Zong Zheng whether she could get a few more posts so that she could take a few grandchildren to pay homage to the eldest princess. Zong Zheng laughed at her, saying that her old face could cover the sky, and she could bring a few if she wanted. In the end, he warned her not to make any decisions, even if Sister Ke couldn't go, no one else would be able to replace her.

The old lady Ren was so angry, she felt that since Zong Zhengke returned to the house and there was another incident, the old man had become more and more yin and yang. She also knew that this matter was not easy to do, but because she loved her granddaughter, she thought about working hard. This was directly rejected by Zong Zhengjin, she couldn't hold it on her face, and she was so angry that she wanted to leave the table.

But her buttocks had not left the chair, and Zong Zhengjin said slowly that when Duke Yi Guo came to deliver the invitation, he had promised that he could bring his son-in-law with him. The old lady turned her annoyance into joy immediately, and no longer cared about the old man's nose and eyes, and served him diligently and carelessly.

Now that her son can be brought to the birthday banquet together, Mrs. Ren can only grieve her granddaughters. Zong Zhengyue begged for a long time and didn't see his grandmother relent, so he didn't talk much anymore. At this time, Mingxin had already brewed Buddha tea for Zong Zhengke. In the smoke, her face became more calm and indifferent.

Old Lady Ren sighed secretly, remembering what her son had said, a smile appeared on her face, and she said to Zong Zhengke in a harmonious voice: "Three girls, don't just think about your grandfather and me, you yourself have to cut a few new clothes and buy some new jewelry to go to the birthday banquet." ”

The eyes of everyone in the room were focused on Zong Zhengke, and she slowly got up and replied, "Thank you for the old lady's concern, Aunt Xu in her granddaughter's house is leading someone to prepare." Go to Qiluo Pavilion today," she said lightly, looking around at everyone, "I also put some clothes for my uncles, aunts and sisters, if I don't dislike simplicity, I will stay." ”

Mrs. Ping Er and Mrs. Liu San thanked the two families on behalf of the two families, and Mrs. Ping Er also said that the clothes of Qiluo Pavilion were measured by the lady, and they also had to be dipped in light. The five girls also got up to thank Zong Zhengke, and they couldn't help but think a little in their hearts.

Since she is the third girl of the Zongzheng, she must act according to the position of this identity. Putting yourself within the established rules is both a matter of respect for yourself and the best protection for yourself. This is the earnest teaching of the Pudu monk when he said goodbye to the senior brothers.

Zong Zhengke is not short of money, and he never cares about these things outside his body. She took back her mother's relics, honored her elders, and befriended her sisters, but they were all things that the three girls of Zongzheng should do. For her, this kind of boudoir life, which she has not really experienced in her two lives, is also a little interesting-how to live in this life, it is good.

The old lady Ren nodded, and ordered Mama Cui to take out a hundred taels of silver tickets and hand them to Mingxin behind Zong Zhengke, and said with a smile: "You plan to prepare your own birthday gift, although this is your thoughtful and filial kindness, but how can we, as grandfathers and grandmothers, let your little girl pay for her own purse?" You take a silver ticket, and you don't care if you have or how little. ”

Although the Buddhist scriptures that are brought and copied by hand are priceless treasures in the world, pen, ink and paper are all mortal things, and they do not cost much silver. The kang screen was sent by my grandfather, and it cost less than thirty taels of silver to embroider the face and embroidery thread. In this way, do you still have to earn this birthday gift?

Zong Zhengke was quite surprised by the generosity of the old lady Ren, but guessed that it was probably his grandfather who spoke. She didn't shirk it, thanked Mrs. Ren for her blessings, and sat down again. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became harmonious, and the mother-in-law and grandchildren talked and laughed.

Not long ago, Mrs. Ping Er was ordered to hand over the pair of cards and the warehouse key in charge of the feed, and handed over to Mrs. Liu San to temporarily take charge of the house. However, Mrs. Ren pleaded with Zong Zhengjin in every possible way, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a lot of blood to fill the hole, so Zong Zhengjin later relented and asked Mrs. Ping to assist the housekeeper from the side. At this time, the two wives talked to their mother-in-law about family matters.

The girls also had something to talk about. The two girls in the second room got together to talk about books and gossip, and the two sisters in the third room talked about some embroidered handkerchiefs. Zong Zhengyue was young, and she couldn't sit still, so she wore flowers and butterflies in the house, walking here and there. Although Zong Zhengke didn't have anything to say to everyone, he listened to it with great interest - mainly because she was in a really good mood today, although she heard a name she hated.

After sitting for a while, Mingxin reminded in a low voice: "Girl, the time to worship the Buddha is coming. Zong Zhengke got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Ren, the two aunts and the sisters, and the elders didn't stay long, so she went by herself.

Not long after she left, Mrs. Ren was instructing the kitchen to cook a few more dishes and leave a few girls for dinner, when Mama Cui hurried in, and said after the blessing: "Old lady, the eldest princess of Qinghe's mansion sent someone over, and she was anxious to see the third girl." It was still the Lou Gong man from yesterday who couldn't wait to go to Qingyi Tower first. Because the old lady and the two masters were not at home, the little grandfather of the Yiguo family who accompanied Lou Gongren stayed in the outer courtyard, and now he is accompanied by the eldest young master and the second young master. Looking at the appearance of the little grandfather, something urgent should have happened. ”

The old lady and the second monk were puzzled, even if there was an emergency in the eldest princess's mansion, why did she find Zong Zhengke? (To be continued.) )
