Chapter 623: Speculation
The genius was bright, and people in the courtyard got up one after another, and the starling under the corridor heard the movement and called mischievously: "Xiaohong, eat." Little Red, eat. ”
The girl's laughter and footsteps were heard in the distance, and a girl stopped under the birdcage and scolded angrily: "Eat, eat, eat, open your eyes and know to eat!" ”
"Xiaohong, eat, Xiaohong, eat." The starling paused for a moment and shouted again: "Beautiful, pretty." ”
The other maids laughed when they heard this, "Xiaohong, you can feed it quickly!" They all say you're beautiful. ”
Xiaohong replied angrily: "A stupid bird is crying, you should also take it seriously." ”
The maids giggled, lifted the curtain and went into the house to go to their own business, the maid called Xiaohong fed the starling, flicked the birdcage, the birdcage shook and swayed, the starling bird was standing on the branch in the cage to drink water, was so shaken, the water could not be drunk, and the anger flew around in the cage.
Xiaohong got out of the chair with a smile and walked away.
The grandmother in the house brought the tea with a smile, and Mrs. Ding got up with a smile, "This bird is a little interesting." ”
"The old lady should like it, and when she returns to Beijing, we will also let the steward find a place to raise."
"Okay!" Old Madam Ding smiled and bowed her head.
Ding Xiaolou's family affairs were decided, and Mrs. Ding finally let go of her heart, especially the third lady was the mother-in-law watching her son-in-law this time, the more she watched it, the more interesting it became, and she was very satisfied with this son-in-law, which also made the old lady breathe a sigh of relief.
Ding Xiaolou's older temperament becomes, the more calm he becomes, completely different from her mother and Ding Xiaoming, the old man has a bad marriage, and he has taken her with him to teach her in the past few years. Although the one-handed embroidery work is not top-notch, it can also be handled.
"Old lady, how come this Young Master Liu is in his early twenties and hasn't married a wife yet?" Mama Fang asked with some worry and waited for the old lady to change her clothes.
The old lady smiled and put on a light brown armor, "When Fourth Young Master Liu was fifteen years old, Mrs. Liu showed him his daughter-in-law, just like our thirteen girls." Bad luck. is a step slower, and before the matchmaker comes to the door, the girl is already engaged. Later, Lord Liu's mother passed away, and Lord Liu kept filial piety for three years, and he was a grandchild, although he didn't have to keep it for three years. But it's not easy to say kiss. ”
When he was filial, his father recovered. Ren Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, the fourth young master came to Taichang Temple at the beginning of this year to serve as Fenglilang, his father Liu Di Sangyuan was familiar with Ding's third uncle, and Liu Shiming was appointed after Fenglilang. On official business, he often interacts with Uncle Ding, and it will only come into the eyes of Uncle Ding, Liu Shaoqing mentioned this family business. He thought about it for a day and agreed.
"The brothers and sisters above the four young masters have all become biological sons, and the thirteen girls have married them. You don't have to be in charge, just take care of your own small family, I see that Mrs. Liu and the three young grandmothers are all kind people, if this family business is successful, the thirteen girls will definitely be better than her third sister in the future. ”
Although Mama Fang still has some doubts, seeing that the old master is so happy, it is not good to pour cold water on her at this time, so she has to think that after she goes back, she will slowly talk to the old lady!
After finishing the makeup, Ding Wenfu came, "Mother! The marriage of the thirteen girls has been settled, so it's time for our family's Ah Yuan's marriage next, right? ”
"You monkey." They are now living in Lord He's mansion, and this dead girl is just shouting so much.
"Oops! Mrs. He is a good friend with you, and she has watched her daughter grow up, how many catties your daughter has, her old man knows very well. Ding Wenfu waved his hand disappreciatively.
Old Madam Ding shook her head.
Ding Xiaolou's marriage had several twists and turns, so the old lady didn't want to see each other in Beijing, so she didn't want to be taken by those who love to chew the root of the tongue, just when Mrs. Liu went to visit the daughter who gave birth and returned, Liu Shaoqing ordered Liu Shiming to come to Tongzhou to pick up people, and said to Uncle Ding that they would arrange to meet in Tongzhou.
It happened that Mrs. Ding's best friend Mrs. He lived in Tongzhou, and the old lady brought her daughter, daughter-in-law and granddaughter to visit her friends, and only after she came did she know that Mrs. He and Liu Shaoqing were aunts and nephews, and the two sides met at He's house.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and the third lady and mother and daughter also came over, "Since the marriage is decided, it is not necessary to disturb people too much, I will go and talk to my old sister later, and we will go back." ”
"Yes."
Mrs. He kept repeatedly, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I just thought about getting together, and you're going back?" Old Madam He pursed her lips and complained, vaguely showing the demeanor of her youth.
Old Madam Ding laughed, "Listen to what you said, I can come, can't you come to see me?" When these two children get married, you still have to sit at the main table, you are a big matchmaker! ”
The ladies of the He family also joined in the fun, and finally made Mrs. He laugh, "Okay! Don't delay it too long! I'm waiting to drink the wine from both of you. ”
"Definitely, definitely." Mrs. Liu also smiled and promised, smiled at Ding Xiaolou who was standing next to Mrs. Ding, and saw her shyly and timidly snuggling beside her grandmother, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
Coming out of Hefu, Mrs. Ding leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes to recuperate, Ding Wenfu sat on the side and fanned her, and suddenly the convoy stopped, and Mama Fang asked the coachman, "How to park?" ”
"When I met someone from the Du family, I want to go out of Beijing."
"Who?" Ding Wenfu asked.
The mother-in-law who followed the car said, "The slave and maid will ask." ”
"Go ahead!"
After a while, the mother-in-law came back and said, "It's the second young master of the Du family who wants to go south, and it is said that the third young master Du is missing halfway." ”
"What's going on?" Old Madam Ding opened her eyes and asked.
Du Yunxun's voice sounded outside the car, "Grandmother An, aunt An." "I was supposed to call my aunt and grandmother and cousin, but he followed Fan Anyang to shout, and Mrs. Ding didn't correct him.
"You get in the car."
Du Yunxun had to get in the car and tell the story.
Old Madam Ding frowned and asked worriedly, "How did your grandfather arrange it?" Du Yunxun carefully told Mrs. Ding about his grandfather and father's arrangements, and said: "Yan Shoufu knows about this matter, and has ordered the guards near the canal and parents and officials at all levels to help find it. ”
Yan Shoufu knows about this, and it is natural that there will be arrangements, after all, he also has to guard against it, this is not a single incident, last year's natural disasters led to poor harvests in various places, and the people had a hard time, if the wind and rain can be smooth this year, the people's days can slowly calm down.
If Du Yunfang's disappearance is not a single incident, then it is necessary to put an end to it as soon as possible.
Old Madam Ding obviously understood this, and reminded Du Yunxun: "Your second uncle and your eldest brother are both parents and officials near the canal, so you should inform them of this as soon as possible." ”
Before Du Yunxun got out of the car, he also asked Mrs. Tuoding and Ding Wenfu to have time to see Fan Anyang, "I'm afraid she will be cranky." ”
If she hadn't counted Mrs. Du's dowry, maybe it wouldn't have aroused Du Yunlei's heartbeat, and a few words would have made people succeed, and Du Yunfang wouldn't want to leave the capital, if he didn't leave Beijing, naturally this incident would not have happened.
Mrs. Ding nodded in response, and Ding Wenfu also said, "Don't worry, I'll let Ah Yuan accompany her, with my Ah Yuan here, make sure she doesn't have time to think." ”
Du Yunxun's face was a little dark, and after thanking him again, he got out of the car and left.
After a brief rendezvous, the two teams separated again.
Wang Jinyuan didn't expect her mother to come back so soon, and when she heard that her mother had returned to the Xishan Courtyard, she was drinking soup and immediately choked.
Fan Anyang hurriedly reached out to help her pat her back, Mo Xiang was busy pouring tea and handing over the handkerchief, and after a while, she returned to normal.
"My mother is back? How can it be so fast? She asked the grandmother sent by her mother angrily.
"Madame said, let you stay with your cousin and grandmother for a few more days, so that you can be with your cousin."
Yes? Didn't you even tell her to go home? You know, when her mother was about to go out, she told her to take good care of the house and not run around, but she couldn't stay back, so she came to Fan Anyang to play, but she didn't expect to be caught on the spot, her mother didn't care, and asked her to stay with Ah Zhao.
That's weird, isn't it?
"After Madam and Mrs. Ding came out of He Mansion, they met the second young master of the Du family."
Fan Anyang understood in seconds that the eldest aunt was asked by Du Yunxun to let Wang Jinyuan live with her.
"Go back and thank my aunt on my behalf, and please rest assured that I will definitely greet my cousin in the garden."
Mama responded with a smile, took the reward given by Fan Anyang, and went back to her life satisfied.
Only then did Wang Jinyuan react, "What a coincidence! On my way south, my cousin would meet my grandmother and my mother. ”
"I don't know if they found the third brother?" Fan Anyang couldn't help but chatter.
"Don't worry! Since the little guy next to him was just knocked unconscious and thrown on the side of the road, it can be seen that those people didn't want to hurt people's lives, eighty percent of them looked stupid and stupid, and they wore rich clothes, so they would get into trouble, it's okay, they know that if they catch a hot potato, they won't dare to kill him, but they may have to suffer for a few days. ”
Fan Anyang couldn't help but laugh at her when he heard what she said, "Look at you, you are an official and a master, listen to what your father said?" ”
"Hehe, my father always told me and my brother that when you go out, don't look left and right in a daze, so that people can know at a glance that they have never seen the world.
Mo Xiang was also interested when he heard this, and urged Wang Jinyuan to continue, "My father still said it!" When you go out, you must remember that your wealth is not exposed, and the purse you carry with you only has broken silver, and the silver ticket and silver must be stored closely. ”
Yan Xiang nodded, "Yes, yes, a big brother next door to my family, went to the city to be a small servant, his young master loves to show off, I heard him say that his young master went to the restaurant to eat, it only cost one or two or five dollars, and the purse he carried on his body had enough silver to pay the bill, and the young master of his family wanted to pay a hundred taels of silver tickets to the store and let them find it." ”
"And then?"
"Later! As soon as he got out of the restaurant, he was robbed, and the young master was beaten up, but after he went back, the old man thought that he was not effective in protecting the master, so he drove him away, and he still owed him three months' wages! ”
Wang Jinyuan patted Yanxiang and reassured: "This is good, at least a small life has been saved, not bad!" ”
Fan Anyang sat on the side and listened to their lively talk, but he was thinking in his heart, Du Yunfang didn't forget to go out and show his wealth outside, so he was robbed and disappeared, right? (To be continued)
