Here, while Hu Shi was writing, he was crying, writing and tearing it off, rewriting, and writing a letter for a long time. The Bai family came back from outside, but the Hu family was unaware, and the Bai family didn't bother her. came out quietly and beckoned to Qingshuang: "Qingshuang, you go and prepare an incense case, some application things, I will drink Sister Hu for a while." ”

Qingshuang hurriedly responded, and asked again: "Where is the incense case?" ”

Bai Shi pondered and said, "Now the flowers in the garden are withering, and they are not good-looking, and it is not suitable to be placed in the main hall?" ”

Qingshuang said: "I have a place, so let's put it in the West Cross Courtyard." There was originally given to Feiguang Yinhong and their apprentices, but now it is empty, and there is a garden in the courtyard, and the plum blossoms are blooming just right. ”

Bai said: "It's okay, the plum blossom is noble, it is just right for me and Sister Hu to tie the relationship, so be it." ”

Qingshuang was busy preparing. Here Bai Shi entered the house, and Hu Shi had just finished writing, and was waiting for Mo to dry. Seeing Bai Shi coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister, I have already written the letter, and the ink will dry in a while, please help me put it away and send it out." ”

Bai smiled and said, "What's the trouble, my sister is too polite, it's all a gesture." Sister, I want to marry Jin Lan with my sister, the maid has gone to the garden under the plum tree to set up an incense case, let's go over in a while, okay? ”

Hu didn't expect what Bai said to be true, and he was moved to tears: "My sister helped me like this, I really don't know how to say it." ”

Bai said: "Sister, don't talk about this, I think my sister is also a cool person, we have to discuss what to do in the future?" ”

Hu Shi listened, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said, "Since my sister treats me like this, I will not postpone it anymore." Actually, since I gave birth to Mingzhu, I have long been dead when I saw Xu Zhijie treat our mother and daughter like this. It's just that I'm worried that I can't support my daughter alone, and now my sister wants to help me. I want to reconcile with Xu Zhijie, and I want my sister to get my dowry back. ”

Bai Shi frowned when he heard this: "It is said that Xu Zhijie is so ruthless, it is good to leave, but if he leaves, what if he refuses to give us Mingzhu, Mingzhu is the child of the Xu family, and he is born on the family tree." Also, if Heli has no reason to suppress him, he can not pay the dowry. ”

Hu Shi was also worried when he heard it, "Then what should I do, if there is no pearl, what is the meaning of my life." ”

Bai said: "Sister, we are both mothers, and I naturally understand my sister's love for her daughter. Don't worry about it now, I'll discuss it with my lord in the evening, slowly Tuzhi, anyway, my sister won't wait for a day or two. ”

Hu Shi listened and nodded. At this time, the maid reported that the incense case was set, and Bai was busy taking Hu's hand to worship.

Here, Chen Wenhui's boudoir is very lively. Xu Mingzhu was originally an optimist, and she had a lot of fun in Chen Wenhui's boudoir at this time.

Chen Wenhui went to the glass workshop several times before because she wanted the glass workshop to make a thermometer for her, so she had the idea to make a few sets of checkers to play. This checkers was loved by his parents and two older brothers. Now the Chen family can play checkers.

Chen Wenhui took out the checkers, taught Xu Mingzhu the rules, and played with Xu Mingzhu a few times. At the beginning, Xu Mingzhu didn't know too much, and he lost every time, but Xu Mingzhu was born smart, and he was a person who did not admit defeat, so he pondered it carefully, and then the better he went, Chen Wenhui gradually became no opponent.

Chen Wenhui lost a few handfuls and began to beg for mercy, but Xu Mingzhu did not let go. Chen Wenhui called her a chess maniac, and in desperation, she asked the maid Green Sprout to play with Xu Mingzhu. In fact, Lu Ya is a master of checkers, and Chen Wenhui is not an opponent when he usually plays chess.

Xu Mingzhu and Lu Ya have won and lost each other a few times, and both of them are young, with a jumpy temperament, and shouting and screaming under chess. Chen Wenhui couldn't laugh anymore on the side: "My house really suffered today, and it was ruined by Sister Mingzhu." ”

Xu Mingzhu kept jumping with his hands, and turned around and said, "Okay, don't pretend to be serious, you're younger than me, where is the usual fun." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I originally thought I was a fun-loving person, but I was really willing to bow down when I met you." Hey, I remember, maybe someone has a fight with you. ”

Xu Mingzhu said: "What is a fight? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "It's just on par with you." ”

Xu Mingzhu said: "Who? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "It's Wang Yaozhen of the Wang family, a big grain merchant in Ancheng, do you know it?" ”

Xu Mingzhu was energized when he heard it, and he didn't care about checkers: "I don't know, my father let me go out to the official's house, and those merchants never took me to the banquet, but my aunt's two sisters went." How old is Yaozhen this year, older than me or younger than me? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Sister Yaozhen is eleven years old this year, one year older than you, but her stature is not high. It's about the same as you. ”

Xu Mingzhu immediately said: "Do you think everyone is like you, you are only six years old and you grow so tall, if Sister Yaozhen is as tall as me, she will be considered tall." When I went out before, those ladies praised me for being taller, but I couldn't do it better than you, and the girls in the north were taller than the girls in the south. Forget it, why are you talking about this, when will you let me and Sister Yaozhen get to know each other? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "It's really an urgent child." Don't worry, it's fifteen in two days, and everyone is idle after fifteen, so I'll invite you and Sister Yaozhen to tea in the next post. There is also Wan Qiaozhen, the daughter of Wanjia Yinlou, and Lan Caiyu and Lan Yingyu, the big silk merchant Lan family, these are all things we are used to playing together. ”

Xu Mingzhu said: "Are these all your temperament? What do I want to know? ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said: "That's not it, Sister Qiaozhen is eleven years old this year, she loves to talk and laugh, and she is cute and cute." Sister Lan Caiyu is thirteen years older, older, steady, very big sister's demeanor, and thoughtful. Sister Yingyu is eleven years old this year, and she is also a fun-loving person. ”

Xu Mingzhu was fascinated when she heard this, these people were all the same age as her. Chen Wenhui remembered something and said, "Aren't you the best with Sister Shuyu?" Sister Lan and Sister Shuyu are cousins. ”

Xu Mingzhu was even happier when he heard it: "That's a good feeling, you hurry up and get off the post, we will invite Shuyu to come then." In fact, I rarely go out, I only have two friends, and one is Huang Yuyan's sister of Huangliang Taoist, who is nine years old this year, and is the most gentle and lovely. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, I'll invite you then, I don't know Huang Yuyan, and I haven't seen her at the banquet these times." ”

Xu Mingzhu said: "I heard that Lord Huang is a person who doesn't like to be lively, and his family doesn't have a banquet a year, so there are few people who come out and walk around." Sister Yu Yan and I met at a lady's party, and we both went to her house to play. She also knew that it was not easy for me to be at home, so she never went to my house, but often posted to invite me to her house to play. ”

Chen Wenhui also became a friend when she heard it. said: "I really want to know Sister Yu Yan now, but I haven't played with her, so why should I take the liberty to post to her?" ”

Xu Mingzhu said: "Yes, I have an idea, you give her a post, note the names of the two of us, and she will definitely come." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and nodded.

At this time, the little maid Cui Qiao said that the two ladies had set up an incense case in the west courtyard to worship. When Chen Wenhui and Xu Mingzhu heard this, they hurriedly put on their coats and cloaks with the help of the maid, and also came to the West Courtyard to watch the ceremony.

Hu and Xu Mingzhu stayed in Chen's house for a day, and only after dinner did they reluctantly say goodbye.

In the evening, when only the Chen family and his wife were left, Chen Yuanheng said to the Bai family: "Congratulations to Madame, you have a righteous sister." ”

Bai smiled and said, "Rejoice and rejoice." By the way, did the lord tell Xu Zhijie about this today? ”

Chen Yuanheng immediately laughed: "I want to laugh when I think of Xu Zhijie." I was serious, and I told him in front of many subordinate officials that Mrs. and his wife were married to Jin Lan, and his eyes widened, but he did not speak because of the eyes of everyone. I also said that Madame was very fond of his daughter-in-law and wanted to be considered a righteous daughter. He couldn't hold back for a moment, but his colleagues came to congratulate us. I generously accepted, and said that my wife would find an auspicious day for the zodiac and invite everyone to a banquet in Qinghe Building to celebrate my happy daughter. His face changed several times in an instant before he squeezed out a smile. It's wonderful. ”

Bai said disdainfully: "Hmph, I knew that this kind of person would be like this." Now hit him in the face, see how he is. What a scum. I remember in a trance, why did the master say that his official reputation was not good? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "He is like this, he is desperate for his boss, he doesn't have a good face for his subordinates, and he loves money like his life." When I didn't come before, he was still in charge of litigation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was careless of people's lives. But after I came, he relented. Besides, the last time he helped a merchant to oppress a scholar, but the scholar was close to the prefect and hated the prefect, so he was ostracized. ”

Bai Shi was very surprised: "Why is he so disregarding the future, can this thing be done?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "I heard that his family is an ordinary peasant family, and his mother is also a mean peasant woman. So I can't stand in the circle of ladies. He was later selected and was appreciated by Lord Hu Zhili, who not only helped him find an official, but also married his beloved daughter. Knowing that his family was not good, he gave a large amount of dowry. But later Hu Zhili was demoted, he immediately drew a line with the Yue family, and brought the outer room to the house, imprisoned the lady in the main room, and let the aunt come out to walk around in the circle of the lady, which made everyone disdain him very much. ”

Bai Shi heard this and said: "This person is like this, he can't say that something is going to happen in the future." Sister Hu told me today that she wanted to reconcile. I want to have a pearl and a dowry. ”

I hurriedly sent it last night, and it was wrong, but I found out this morning, so I quickly corrected it. Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for collections.
