Hearing this, Du Yunluo stood facing her grandfather and grandmother, not in a hurry to speak, but smiled lightly.

Old Mrs. Xia's sharp gaze fell on Du Yunluo's sleeve that was pulled, and Du Yunnuo hurriedly let go of it and hung his head eagerly.

"Grandfather, grandmother," Du Yunluo said with a smile, "Yunluo heard that Mrs. Shi came yesterday?" ”

Seeing that Du Yunluo really mentioned Mrs. Shi, Du Yunnuo's eyes flashed with a trace of joy and pride, she even looked at Du Yunying regardless of concealment, wanting to see some clues in the other party's face, but Du Yunying put on an innocent appearance that she didn't know at all at this moment, like an outsider, which made Du Yunnuo grit her teeth.

Everyone is a fellow traveler, and they are all waiting to watch the play, but this time Du Yunying stayed out of the matter, but it seemed that she Du Yunnuo was not pure-minded.

Thinking like this, Du Yunnuo snorted softly.

Mrs. Xia and Du Gongfu exchanged a look.

Mrs. Shi came to the house yesterday, and no one hid it, after all, it was in the name of visiting the Zhen family.

They are all people with faces and skin, the Du family and the Mu family have never had a deep friendship, how can they casually invite the official media to come to the door to propose marriage? If this marriage does not work out, no matter what the reason, it will not benefit the two families.

Therefore, according to the convention, it is necessary to let the familiar wives and grandmothers probe the tone, if it is agreeable, and then discuss it further, if it is not agreeable, it will be as if this is not mentioned, and each other will not lose face.

When Du Gongfu served as the examiner of Shi Shilang's Chunqiu, after stepping down, Shi Shilang still treated him as a teacher, and Mrs. Shi also came and went more, and Mrs. Shi's maiden family had some connections with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, so she became this middleman.

Asking to marry Du Yunluo, Mrs. Shi only talked to Mrs. Xia and Zhen, and others didn't know about it.

Mrs. Xia looked at Du Yunluo and said in her heart: Didn't Zhen have a letter and let this girl know?

Du Gongfu knew that Du Yunluo's temperament was twisted, and over the years, because of the widow of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, there were some rumors in Beijing that she would marry Mu Jialang if she married a daughter, if Du Yunluo had heard of it, she would have made a scene when she knew Mrs. Shi's intentions.

As an elder, he is not afraid of Du Yunluo's trouble.

The matter of marriage is the words of the matchmaker of his parents, and he, who is a grandfather, nods or shakes his head, where is Du Yunluo's turn to put his beak?

It's just that he was old and didn't like the noisy things, so he said, "Yes, I came to visit your mother." Huaili is a subordinate of Lord Shi, Mrs. Shi heard that your mother was unwell, and she came to visit. ”

Du Yunluo blinked, such avoidance and lightness is indeed Du Gongfu's temperament.

However, she didn't come to Xingshi to ask for guilt today, if it weren't for the girl's family not being too straightforward, she would have spoken up and let her grandfather answer the family matter.

Du Yunluo secretly exhaled and said, "Only Mrs. Shi is here?" What about Sister Ayu? ”

Ayu refers to Shi Qinyu, the pearl of Mrs. Shi's palm, who has a close relationship with Du Yunru.

Du Gongfu and Mrs. Xia quickly exchanged a look, didn't Du Yunluo hear about it?

Du Yunying didn't expect Du Yunluo to play cards according to common sense, and frowned slightly.

Du Yunluo said: "Sister Ayu came back before, saying that she liked the patterns painted by Jinrui, I answered her, and I gave it to her when she came again, but as a result, I kept it and didn't send it out." ”

This is the case.

Mrs. Xia couldn't cry or laugh, beckoned Du Yunluo to her side, nodded her forehead, and said, "You are also a fool, since you have collected it, Ayu girl will not come, you send someone to send it with her, will the Shilang Mansion stop you?" ”

Du Yunluo pursed her lips, she knew what she should do and say at this moment, and put on a grievance and coquettish appearance, this matter was fooled, but on the contrary, she was still an old woman more than an hour ago, and it was really difficult for a strong man to make a daughter's posture at this moment.

Secretly worked hard, and finally had to hang his shoulders and lower his head, so as not to let people see the look on his face, and stabilize his voice, Du Yunluo said: "Grandmother knows me, Ping Suli doesn't like to go out the most, and the maids and women around me don't go outside, where the door of the Shilang's Mansion opens, they don't know where to send things." ”

"Listen to this!" Old Mrs. Xia laughed, "This is the one who is begging for errands with the old woman?" Okay, let's go back and let Mother Xu go to Shilang's Mansion for a trip and send the tricks. ”

"Then thank you, grandmother."

Mrs. Xia replied and asked, "What kind of trick is it?" Take it to me first, and if it's good-looking, let Jinrui draw more. ”

If you want to see the tricks, it's not a matter of a while.

Du Yunnuo originally wanted Du Yunluo to lose her temper in front of the elders, but in the end, she was betrayed again, and she was angry in her heart, and she didn't want to stay in Lianfuyuan, so she got up and retired.

Du Yunying also got up together, and when she went out with the curtain, she turned her head and glanced at Du Yunluo deeply, Du Yunluo was really a little strange today.

In Anhua Courtyard, the patterns are all ready-made, Jinrui got the order, sorted it out, and hurried to the Lotus Garden to present it.

Du Gongfu didn't look at these daughters' things, and sat on the couch by the window to tease the carefully raised thrushes.

Mrs. Xia looked through them one by one, and nodded again and again: "No wonder there are always people in front of me who praise Jinrui's ingenuity, this pattern is really good, this group of peonies, look at it is noble and auspicious, and this one, this circle of lotus ponds is deep, and it is most suitable to embroider on the cuffs." ”

Mrs. Xia praised the maids and daughters-in-law in the house, and said that there was nothing in the sky and the earth, which made the old lady smile.

Jin Rui said modestly: "If the old lady continues to boast, the slaves and maids will not dare to stand here." ”

Mrs. Xia haha: "The painting is exquisite, how is the embroidery?" ”

Jin Rui smiled, and soon piled up again: "The embroidery skills of the slave and maid are really not on the table, so the sword is on the wrong side and pondering the tricks." ”

"It's a pity." Mrs. Xia thought for a while, and then said, "Yunluo, I remember that girl from Jinling, her embroidery skills seem to be quite good?" ”

Du Yunluo responded: "Jin Ling is with her mother." ”

Thinking about it like this, Mrs. Xia remembered.

Jin Ling's mother is a famous embroidery girl in the capital, but there is a son of a medicine jar, in order to have more family, Jin Ling's mother boiled her eyes, and she can no longer embroider things.

Zhen's heart was kind, and let them enter the house to make a living, and Jin Ling followed Du Yunluo.

"Jin Ling is sensible, does his duty, and has an outstanding appearance, and everyone likes it." Old Lady Xia sighed.

Jinrui's head hung down, and she bit her lower lip lightly.

Old Mrs. Xia stopped talking about the maids and asked, "These are all for Ayu girls?" ”

"These are." After Du Yunluo finished speaking, she picked out a few.

And the lotus flower, the water boy.

Mrs. Xia groaned, these are all festive patterns when doing red things, why......

Du Yunluo looked at it for a while, and then said, "Sister Ayu said that it was embroidered and given to the eldest sister." The girl's family is going to be out of the cabinet, and no one can drag it out. Grandmother, I am the youngest among the sisters, and when the sisters are all out of the cabinet, I am alone, and I am so idle. ”

Mrs. Xia slapped Du Yunluo: "You also know that you have to go out of the cabinet?" Then what else is there to talk about alone, Yun Nuo is half a year older than you, how long do you want to stay at home? I'm going to get you out of here! ”

Du Yunluo stuffed the pattern to Xu's mother: "Mother Lao sent it for me." I'll go back first, and if I don't leave, my grandmother will have to chase people out. ”

Old Lady Xia smiled and scolded and watched Du Yunluo go out, and when she couldn't see the figure anymore, the smile on her face disappeared, she turned her head to look at Du Gongfu, and said in a low voice: "Do you say Yunluo, do you know or not?" How do I hear this mean? ”
