Chapter 6: The Congregation I
In the past few days, the Shen Mansion has been busy for a while, and the servants and servants in the front yard have come in and out, buying the things needed for the church meeting.
And Shen Huo followed Shen Wu, and Shen Xiang studied at Qingnan Academy in Yong'an City, which was the first academy in Yong'an City.
Mr. Guo in the courtyard was the chief examiner of Chunfu and had a lot of knowledge, and the students who came out of Qingnan Academy included Shen Pingcheng, the second master of the Shen family, Yang Wei, and Zhou Mao, the eldest master of the Zhou family.
The three of them were classmates and friends.
This time, the church run by the Shen family will naturally post it to the two of them.
They were both born in the eleventh year of Longping, Yang Wei is now the Tongzhi of Jiaozhou, and Zhou Mao is already the prefect of Xuzhou.
Jiangbei region has a total of Kyushu, one hundred and one cities, and Yong'an City belongs to Xuzhou.
Just after noon, Yang knew that the old lady had not yet gone to bed, so she went to Fuhua Courtyard with a red paper slip in her hand.
She said to the green clothes behind her: "You go and tell Mama Li, she can't find anything, Qinguan to Jiangbei, the road is long, and there are bandits and bandits on the way." ”
Green Yi nodded knowingly, and a pair of upturned fox eyes curved: "It's still the eldest lady who is powerful, and the second lady also passed the word, saying that she came back this time for the second young master Qi." The second lady in her mouth refers to the second lady of Qi who married the Qi family.
Second Young Master Qi... Yang nodded thoughtfully, and the green clothes opened a curtain for her in front of her.
"The eldest lady is here." Mama Gui smiled and said respectfully, but she only gave Yang a half-salute.
Yang didn't mind, and asked directly, "What about the old lady?" ”
"Fangcao is waiting for the old lady to clean her hands, you sit in the flower hall first, flowing purple, you can't come to serve." Mama Gui shouted Liuzi, and she bypassed the magnolia gilded screen and went to the ear room.
As soon as she entered, the old lady asked in a muffled voice, "Pingyuan's daughter-in-law is here?" ”
Mama Gui smiled diligently, took the white silk silk cloth in Fangcao's hand, and gently wiped it for the old lady: "The slave maid saw that the eldest lady was holding a piece of red paper in her hand, and it was estimated that it was a list posted by the church. ”
"When Heicheng got married, she didn't know that I was a mother, she left Sister Lan and ran back, what did she wrong, just let her do it, she didn't know anyone in Yong'an City, and she didn't make jokes!" After so many years, Mrs. Shen still can't get over the hurdle of Shen Pingcheng's marriage.
When Mama Gui saw that the old lady was angry, she stopped talking: "It's the slave maid who didn't think about it." ”
Old Madam Shen glanced at her and let Mama Gui help her out of the ear room.
"Mother." When Yang saw Old Madam Shen coming out, she hurriedly got up, shouted respectfully, and stepped forward to help Old Madame.
Helping the old lady to sit on the plum blossom lacquer Arhat bed, she said: "My daughter-in-law has written a few books these days, and I am afraid that there are inappropriate ones, so I came over and asked my mother to come and get ideas." ”
She handed over the red paper and showed it to Old Madam Shen.
"Except for the Qi Mansion, the Yang Mansion, the Zhou Mansion, and the Wanhu Mansion, Lord Liu is invited?" The old lady examined it, and Fang asked.
Shen Pingyuan is a place of thousands of households in Xuzhou, and inviting Lord Liu of Wanhu Mansion naturally has the intention of getting closer.
When Yang heard this, he understood the meaning, and hurriedly said: "This busy, the daughter-in-law almost forgot, and the daughter-in-law will write it down." ”
Old Madam Shen added a few more mansions, and Fang said: "First of all, you take out the gift list of the previous few times and pair it, which adult invited the Shen family to the church before, and then add it." ”
In Dayuan, this is a kind of etiquette, if someone invites you, but you don't invite someone back, this is rude, and it will also hurt the harmony of the two families.
Before the Yang family left, the old lady instructed again: "If you get it, you will go to Jinlin Courtyard, let the daughter-in-law of Heisei take a look, and when the time comes, let her remember these big families in Yong'an City." ”
After that, Yang's feet did not stop, and after coming out of Fuhua Courtyard, he went directly to Jinlin Courtyard.
In the empty Jinlin courtyard, only two green bamboos were planted in the corner of the west wall.
Mama Fang was standing under the porch and distributing the maids and women who had newly added to the courtyard, and she saw someone entering the courtyard at the end of her eyes.
After seeing the person coming, she took small steps to greet her, "Big lady." ”
Yang's gaze swept over the maids, "Who added this?" ”
"Back to the eldest lady, it was the fourth lady who was afraid that there would be a shortage of people in the yard, so she added some maids and wives for the ladies and girls to call." Mama Fang's heart skipped a beat and replied respectfully.
Yang's face changed slightly, and he changed his words: "Second lady, you haven't stopped yet." ”
Mama Fang nodded and personally opened the curtain for the Yang family.
Zhao didn't want the Yang family to come at this time, she quickly straightened the corners of her clothes, came out of the east room, combed the hair of the fallen horse bun, pinned a delicate gilded cloud hairpin, she looked at the Yang family, and said, "Sister-in-law, why is this kung fu coming." Angelica Angelica, go make a pot of lotus tea. She said again: "Sister-in-law, lotus tea is one that the people of White Horse City love to drink, you can also taste it." ”
"I've been in Jiangbei for a long time, I'm afraid I can't get used to it." The corners of Yang's mouth curled: "I'm coming here to tell you about the meeting, this is the guest who will come that day, you remember it first, and when the time comes, I will give you a face." ”
At the mention of the church, the original embarrassment on Zhao's face also faded by half, and she looked at it seriously: "That's troublesome sister-in-law." ”
Shen Rong, who was staying in the backyard house, heard Dongmei tell her the news that the Yang family was coming, she asked Dongmei to pick out a lilac-colored flower gown for her, and a white thread skirt, she asked, "What did Cuilian say this time." ”
The day before yesterday, Dongmei came back from the front yard and said that Cuilian was working in the guest room in the front yard, and she would also help on the day of the church.
"She said to listen to the girl." Dongmei whispered.
Shen Rong nodded and walked out of the house.
Yang is now in the front yard, and when she finishes talking to her mother, she will definitely come to see her sister, so before that, she has to go over first.
Shen Lan's house is separated from her house by a few rooms, and it is only a few steps away.
"Third girl, it's really unfortunate, the second girl has already rested, you can come back later." Mama Li stopped in front of the door, and when the eldest lady came over, she would definitely have to say intimate words to the second girl, she couldn't let the third girl enter the house first.
"It's okay, I'll just wait in the outer room." Shen Rong looked at Mama Li seriously, her eyes straight.
Mama Li was only looked at for a while, and she was a little panicked in her heart, and she laughed: "Where is this, otherwise, the third girl will go back to the house to rest first, and when the second girl wakes up, the slave and maid will send someone over to call the third girl, and the third girl will come over again, and it will not be too late." ”
Shen Rong shook his head: "I'm going to go in and wait!" There was a bit of coldness in her words.
"But... This ......" Before Mama Li finished speaking, she was pushed away by Shen Rong, only to hear the immature voice say: "I'm going to see my sister, what are you stopping me from!" ”
