The fourth lady shook her head when she heard this, could it be that her sister-in-law had changed her mind over the years? It's just ...... "I see, fourteen girls are not peaceful." ”

When they came over, they also saw Ding Xiaoqing walking outside, it usually doesn't matter, there are boys from the Fan family and the Wang family outside today.

"It's restless. I heard from the maids that she had sent people to inquire about the old lady's niece's nephew. Ding Xiaoqing lives in the house, but if there is any movement, someone will return to her, Ding Xiaoqing is a girl's family, and she is the niece of the next room, if something happens under her care, not to mention that Mrs. Ding can't spare her, even the old lady can't explain it.

For the second lady, Ding Xiaoqing is a hot potato, it can't be heavy, and it can't be done lightly, it's really troublesome!

The fourth lady smiled bitterly.

"But how long is she going to stay?" The fourth lady asked quietly.

The second lady shook her head, "I didn't say it, and no one dared to ask." The eldest brother should return to Beijing next year to report on his work, but this time he should become a natural disaster, and the emperor also praised and rewarded him, and he may be summoned to enter Beijing this year. ”

The fourth lady thought for a while, and then said, "Perhaps, the old lady will go to Beijing with him?" ”

"Maybe!" As he spoke, he stood under the porch and chatted, but Ding Xiaoxiang sent someone out to invite him, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and entered the house with the people.

Ding Wenfu listened to Fan Anyang's invitation, happily hugged the person into his arms, and said to his sister with a smile: "Look, look, these two sisters are good!" ”

"If my sister feels sorry for her, she should do it! so that their little sisters can be affectionate. Mrs. Fan pulled Wang Jinyun over, "What do you like to eat, tell my aunt, and my aunt will explain and prepare, and I will eat it when I go back in a while." ”

"What's the hurry!" The old lady spoke, she was happy to see that the juniors were good, Fan Anyang was young, and the two sisters in the four rooms were already waiting to be married, so I was afraid that they would not be able to go together. With Wang Jinyun here, he just helped the two sides to make friends, so the four rooms went to the capital, and they also helped many times. "Ah Wan loves to eat. Ah Zhao is afraid that he knows better than all of you, so he has already asked people to go back and prepare, right? Seeing Fan Anyang nodding, the old lady said, "I should ask your fourth uncle and fourth aunt what they like to eat, but don't slack off people." ”

Fan Anyang was taught, and pulled Wang Jinyun to retire, Ding Wenfu shook his head with a smile, "Look at these two girls, happy!" ”

The mother and daughter laughed, but they didn't mention Ding Xiaoqing.

Leave for lunch. After a short rest, Sifang went home with Mrs. Fan, Wang Jinyun accompanied the Ding Xiao'an sisters, and Mrs. Fan took her daughter and shared the car with Mrs. Fan.

"The fourth sister-in-law didn't give early notice when she came back. Otherwise, the second sister-in-law will place you in my house as soon as possible, and you won't have to work any more. ”

"Whew! It's not the disaster in Pingzhou that day, your fourth brother sent someone back to say it earlier, but there are some roads in Pingzhou that are not passable, even we are also making a lot of wrongful roads in vain, your fourth brother said, I'm afraid they are blocked in the middle of the road and haven't come out. will be left behind us. said that, but Mrs. Fan and Fan Anyang both heard that the fourth lady was very angry.

Thinking about it, I came all the way back to my hometown, but I didn't know that I didn't say anything, and finally the family was reunited. I was choked by a junior again.

Being able to be sent back to inform the housekeeper and the servant at home is naturally useful, Mrs. Fan thought about it and followed the words of the fourth lady: "It's such bad luck! Then when they come back, they should be told to go to the temple to put incense on them, and to remove the mildew. ”

The fourth lady listened. The heart is also, this Pingzhou has suffered a natural disaster, they came back all the way, along the way to see a lot of green mountains and green forests bald, there are some broken walls, passing by the family wearing linen and filial piety, want to come back to the front to inform them of the people who want to return, it is really bad luck.

"When they come back, let them go to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, by the way, I didn't ask yesterday, didn't Brother Shu's daughter-in-law say that she was pregnant with a child......"

"It's a girl, it's a blessing, and she went with her mother a few days after she was born."

The fourth lady listened and recited the Buddha, "Big brother, are they all right?" ”

"The eldest brother, sister-in-law and brother gang are all fine, but brother gang and daughter-in-law went before they entered the door, alas!" sighed a few more words, the second sister and the tenth sister, and made an appointment to go to the temple to give them a time. "Go back and talk to the second sister-in-law and eldest sister, let's go together."

"Hmm." Mrs. Fan nodded, her sister-in-law chatted happily, and Fan Anyang dozed off when she heard it, and fell asleep on her mother's lap.

The fourth lady helped take the futon and cover it for her, and the sister-in-law looked at each other and smiled.

When I arrived at Fan's house, Manager Fan had already let people tidy up the guest house, and two small courtyards, the guest house was for the four old husband and wife and the eldest son and his wife to live, one small courtyard was in the front yard, which was for Ding Xiuyi and Ding Xiuhong's brothers, and the other was in the inner courtyard, which was for Ding Xiao'an's sisters.

The fourth lady couldn't help but look at it with surprise, Fan Anyang explained on the side: "Originally, this house was not so big, but my brother saved money and bought the vacant land on both sides of the house to expand. ”

This is to explain to their mother and daughter, why can't they live in Dingfu? The fourth lady smiled and reached out to stroke Fan Anyang's shoulder, "Your brother is so capable, it only took a long time to save this house!" ”

"This place was originally bought by my grandfather to Mr. Fan, saying that it was close to the academy and convenient, and the cousin of the Du family also bought a house near here."

"Cousin of the Du family?" The fourth lady was slightly stunned, and Mrs. Fan hurriedly said: "Mother's nephew, go south to study with Ah Zhao." The fourth lady nodded, and together with Mrs. Fan, watched Ding Xiao'an's sisters settle down, and then took their daughter-in-law to the front yard with Mrs. Fan to see her son's residence.

Fan Anyang took Wang Jinyun back to the room, and as soon as he entered the door, He Zhang's family greeted him, "The girl is back, why are there two more in the house?" ”

It turned out that the descendants of the Wang family had sent Wang Jinyun's newly raised fox over, Zhuxiang was not there, although the other maids had helped take care of the red and red them, but they had not waited for the cubs, and they were all stupid and at a loss there, but fortunately, the red and white did not add to the chaos, and only sat on the couch far away, eating and drinking, and were not affected by the two little cubs at all.

"Send them to the trail and let the little guy take care of them, and then my cousin will send two more maids over to learn how to take care of them."

Wang Jinyun was a little reluctant, but when he heard Fan Anyang say this, he turned his head and wanted to point to the two maids to follow, but Fan Anyang stopped her with a smile, "I want to send someone." I can't send them either! They are waiting for you with you, and you want to learn, let people go back to your house and pick up the rough maids in your yard! ”

"Aren't you asking the bamboo incense next to you to take care of Honghong?"

"That's different, bamboo incense is only made of lightweight. Like helping them bathe and train them are all done by the little guys, you only see Zhuxiang often holding Honghong, and you think that she is all taking care of it alone? Isn't she tired early? ”

Fan Anyang said this, Wang Jinyun asked people to go home, picked two small girls to learn, and called a rough maid to come over and follow the learning.

At dinner, everyone gathered together, Fan Amber also looked for Du Yun who lived nearby, and several boys drank with the fourth master, and the fourth master knew that Du Yunxun and Fan Anyue were both Yan Chi's protégés. Overjoyed, the two of them were pulled to talk during the banquet, it turned out that the fourth master also knew how to paint, and the three of them couldn't stop talking about painting skills. Ding Xiuming's brothers knew their father's temperament and apologized to Fan Amber, Ding Xiuming's brothers were just lifters, but Fan Amber was already a jinshi, and he knew that he was studying in the academy, so he consulted with him.

The fourth lady saw that her husband and sons were chatting happily, and smiled with Mrs. Fan: "It's really rare!" Your brother has been busy with government affairs in the south all these years. Although he is obsessed with painting skills, it is rare to meet someone who can talk to him about painting, the nephew of the Du family is just okay, and your Xiaolu is also a person who knows how to draw! ”

Wang Jinyun was drinking sauerkraut duck soup, and when he heard this, he hurriedly swallowed the soup. said: "The fourth aunt doesn't know, Ah Zhao is also a person who knows how to paint, she first worshiped under Mr. Yan to learn to paint!" ”

"Oh?"

Sister Ding Xiao'an couldn't help but cast a surprised look when she heard this, Fan Anyang was embarrassed and blushed, "Mr. Meng will not give up." to worship at the door. Fan Anyang smirked, the fourth lady saw that she smiled cutely and spoke humbly, so she thought that Yan Chi was accepting her as an apprentice for the sake of Mrs. Fan, so she didn't care, and didn't mention it anymore, if it was normal, Wang Jinyun would definitely say something more, but at this time, she was still worried about whether the family had sent someone, so she didn't say anything, Mrs. Fan is not a person who loves to dazzle her daughter's talent, and Sister Ding Xiao'an didn't care when she saw that this topic had been exposed like this.

However, after the banquet was dismissed, Fan Anyue asked people to come over to take pictures from Fan Anyang, which aroused the curiosity of the fourth lady and others. But they didn't ask, and when they returned to the room, Ding Xiaole asked her mother curiously, "Didn't you say that the cousin of the little aunt's family is a fool?" She also knows how to draw? ”

"Healed sooner! You forgot! When my sister got married before, my grandmother asked someone to add makeup, didn't she just say it? "In the winter of the year when Fan Anyang and Du Yunxun were rescued from captivity, Ding Xiaoping, the sixth girl of Ding, got married, and the old lady asked her confidant to add makeup, and she mentioned this strange thing.

"How can there be such a miraculous thing in the world? If you want me to say it! must have been not stupid in the first place, but they were afraid that they would find trouble again, so they pretended that Cousin Zhao was stupid and sent to Guangling to live. ”

"You don't talk nonsense! said that Ah Zhao's cousin was a fool, but the imperial doctor in the palace! Ding Xiaoan scolded his sister.

"Ouch! Let's guess and play! Ding Xiaole pulled his sister's sleeve and said.

Seeing her little daughter's delicate appearance, the fourth lady couldn't help but smile and rubbed her face, "You! Just love to guess, this Buddha's manifestation, you are not allowed to talk nonsense. "I'm afraid that my daughter won't cover her mouth, in case she offends the Buddha and the gods, it's not good.

immediately solemnly asked his daughters not to talk nonsense, and when he saw that his daughters had obediently complied, he let them settle and took someone back to the guest house by himself.

Walking in the middle of the road, Ding Xiuming's daughter-in-law held her mother-in-law's hand and said softly: "Mother, do you remember the congratulatory gift sent by your grandmother when your daughter-in-law got married?" When Sister Ping came out of the cabinet, the makeup given by the uncle's grandmother? ”

"I don't remember." When the son got married, the old lady sent the embroidery screen, the embroidery is fine, not to mention, the embroidery sample is unprecedented, at that time in office also caused a topic, when the daughter out of the cabinet, in addition to the embroidery screen there are all kinds of purses, in particular, the embroidery sample on the purse is taken from the pattern on the embroidery screen, but the red purse is embroidered with the blooming and the lotus, the pink is embroidered with buds and pedicles, and the orange is the embroidered lotus room Baizi. "People have always asked me about it, and they want to know where it was purchased."

"As soon as the daughter-in-law remembered it, the servant woman who gave the gift said that it was from the embroidery village of the young master of the Fan family."

"Really?" When the fourth lady saw her daughter-in-law's affirmative jaw, she couldn't help but rejoice: "Oops! Then I have to ask your little aunt to take us to the embroidery village, so that we can help Sister An and them pick some good ones as dowries. ”
