Chapter 33: Chinese New Year (Part II)
"Oh, I don't know which one to order?" ”
The four sons of the fifth room, among which the second and fourth masters were born to the Zhang family, Zhang's most painful thing on weekdays is the fourth, in order to help him find a daughter-in-law, he has been picking three and four for more than two years, this time he heard that he was going to be engaged, and the old lady was also curious.
"It's a girl in the second room of the Fang family, she is seventeen years old this year, and I heard that she not only looks beautiful, but also has a gentle personality." Zhang said happily, completely ignoring the old lady's face had darkened, "Alas, you don't know how satisfied my fourth child is, I can hear this family business, I can't close my smile from ear to ear, my lord is also very happy, the Fang family is a big family, and they are all for the queen and the third prince in the capital, and they are not allowed to wait for a public servant in the future, my family and the Fang family have formed a family, and the lord's future official promotion will have his own family to help, so he will no longer bother the eldest brother." ”
"That's good, sister-in-law is here, congratulations to the fifth brother and sister first." The old lady replied lightly, pretending to be tired, squinting slightly, too lazy to talk to her again.
The Zhang family pouted secretly, and was not annoyed when he saw the old lady's appearance, but he was very happy in his heart, this Gao family boasted of being born in a family, and had the identity of a sister-in-law, and he didn't put himself in his eyes on weekdays, but now it's okay, he climbed up to the Fang family, and when the three princes became the big treasure, the Fang family was powerful, and you looked good.
Listening to Tao Xuan, it was cold for a while, in the study outside here, Master Liu's face was not good, he looked at the cousin in front of him who he regarded as a brother, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he knew that although his fifth brother was not obvious on the outside, he actually had a lot of complaints about him in his heart, the fifth brother has been immersed in the gentle township over the years, and his ability has not increased much, but his fame and fortune have become heavier, coupled with the instigation of the woman, he is getting farther and farther away from him, but he is getting closer and closer to the Fang family.
The fifth master has always blamed Master Liu for being the honor of a mansion, but he didn't take much care of his brothers, how many years, he is still such a six-grade little sesame official, but he doesn't want to think about it, if there is no Lord Liu, he can't even be this little sesame official, you must know that when he was young, he was also the most unproductive one in the family, otherwise he would not have to rely on Master Liu to make a living.
Although Master Liu was very disappointed in his heart, he still did not forget his responsibility as the eldest brother, and persuaded: "Qingye, do you want to consider the marriage of the fourth child of your family again, after all, it is a major marriage event, and it is related to his life, I want you to ...... back then."
"Alas, eldest brother, don't mention the past, what's wrong with the fourth child's marriage, the Fang family can look down on the fourth, it's a blessing for my family, besides, I have gone to Jincheng, my grandfather and old lady are all in favor, and the two families have also exchanged Geng stickers, so the eldest brother doesn't have to worry about this, I just informed the eldest brother."
Master Liu was speechless, Liu Cheng next to him was young after all, and he was angry when he heard it, and couldn't help but speak: "Fifth uncle, that's not what I said, who in our Liu family doesn't know that the Fang family is our opponent, not to mention grandfather, when my father just gained a foothold in Wucheng, this Fang family came to mix, I don't know how many loops are behind it, and some time ago, I also participated in my father's book in the court, these are not remembered by the fifth uncle?" ”
The fifth old man said nonchalantly: "Big nephew, how can you be so strict as you say, the Fang family is just at odds with your father's political opinions, and the two families are not feuding, why bother to make tensions, hurt the harmony, that Fang Tongju is also an important minister in the court, if it weren't for your father's exclusion, how would he go to the book to participate, besides, the Fang family is quite powerful in the capital, although my Liu family is a big family in the south, I can't offend them." ”
Liu Cheng heard the words of the fifth master who reversed black and white, and was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and he was about to argue again, but was interrupted by Master Liu with a wave of his hand, "Boss, don't say anything more." After speaking, he turned to the fifth master, "Qingye, since you have decided, I will not stop it, but there is one sentence I still have to make clear, my Liu family's big house is inseparable from the Fang family, don't forget your uncle and my father, how did he die back then, although he was not killed by the Fang family, the Fang family can't get out of it, not to mention that the Fang family has done so many things that hurt the heavens and reason." Qingye, if you want to run for your splendid future, I won't stop or stop it, I just hope that you won't regret it one day. ”
Master Liu's words were categorical, although the fifth master was not angry in his heart, but under his years of accumulation, he didn't dare to say anything more.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, because of the differences between the two families, the atmosphere at the banquet was naturally a little delicate, fortunately, there were many children, not sensible, noisy, but not cold.
Although the banquet is a separate table for men and women, it is still in a room, only a screen is separated in the middle, and halfway through the banquet, Liu Qin can't stand the dullness of the banquet, she is not a real child, and she can naturally see the disharmony between the two families, so she asked her mother to go outside to see the small house set off firecrackers, the old lady herself wants to leave, she will not detain Liu Qin, smiled and nodded and let her out.
Liu Qin walked out of the hall and asked Changxing to call Jiang Li, Brother Hai and Brother Chao, and asked Changsheng and Cui Yu to move the fireworks to the open space in front of the hall.
This is the first time Jiang Li has seen Liu Qin dress up as a girl, a red, Yunjin peach jacket embroidered with large peony flowers, exquisite embroidery, under the reflection of the lantern, you can clearly see the petals of the flowers layered, showing a blooming posture, the collar is inlaid with a circle of white fur collar, lining her round little face is jade skin and ice muscles, big eyes are darker and brighter, under a red scattered flower pleated skirt, combed with a double flat bun on the head, the bun is wrapped around the pearl headdress, the whole person looks like a little jade girl walking down on the New Year's painting, So cute that I can't hide her from others.
Jiang Li stared at Liu Qin here and looked at it, but he didn't want anyone's eyes to stick to him, Liu Qin just sent a big smile to Jiang Li, and immediately puffed out her cheeks, because she keenly noticed that her cousin Liu Mei, who was standing behind, was looking at Jiang Li with her eyes, and she was blushing with a shy look.
This made Liu Qin very unhappy, since she decided to train Jiang Li to be a model husband in the future, she subconsciously regarded Jiang Li as her own private property, and now someone actually jumped out and wanted to rob her of her future husband? There is no door, if you annoy the girl and me, and no matter what relatives are not relatives, you will definitely die an ugly death.
Jiang Li walked up to Liu Qin, stretched out his fingers and flicked her bulging cheeks, and said with a smile: "Sister, why are you unhappy?" Who messed with you? ”
Of course, Liu Qin wouldn't tell him what she thought in her heart, let alone talk about Liu Mei, she just smiled, took Jiang Li's hand, and said coquettishly: "Of course it's Brother Ah Li, you came out for so long a day, and you don't play with Qin'er." ”
Jiang Li smiled and touched her little face, at this time Changsheng had lit a few flower cannons, and suddenly the open space was like a fire tree and silver flowers in bloom, very brilliant, and the little dolls all clapped their hands and cheered.
Only Liu Mei, who was hiding behind, bit her lip, her face darkened little by little, and the whole person was hiding in the darkness that the fireworks could not shine into, I don't know what she was thinking, the direction of her eyes, two figures, one tall and one short, stood side by side, holding hands, and the two of them were whispering from time to time, looking so intimate, so dazzling......
