Chapter 43: The Praiser

Zhou Xiaofu had already returned to his courtyard on the side of the General's Mansion, and there was still a while before lunch, when he saw his aunt's maid Qiumei coming to spread the word, saying that the eldest aunt had invited Fuxiangyuan.

Zhou Xiaofu heard Lan's mother say that the courtyard where the eldest uncle and eldest aunt live is called Fuxiangyuan.

What will you tell yourself to do, although I have doubts in my heart, but I still lead Cuihua with me.

This Fuxiang Garden is indeed worthy of its name, before it reaches the courtyard, it smells a floral fragrance from afar, light and long, close and can not be smelled, this fragrance is sweet but not greasy.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaofu was puzzled, this Qiumei smiled and said: "Miss Cousin, this is the fragrance of osmanthus, the eldest lady has planted a few dwarf osmanthus flowers in this yard, and every August, the general's mansion is fragrant."

Zhou Xiaofu then remembered, no wonder this taste is so familiar.

When he entered the courtyard, he saw that Wang Errong was already waiting for him at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the king

"Big cousin, why aren't you in the house, why are you running outside the yard."

This Wang Errong smiled: "I haven't seen you come for a long time, and when I'm in a hurry, I will come out to greet you."

Zhou Xiaofu smiled happily: "I'm in such a hurry, what's the matter with my aunt looking for me."

Wang Errong smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course there are good things." After speaking, he pulled Zhou Xiaofu and walked into the house.

There are four rooms in the front row, a hall, a bedroom, a small study, and an ear room.

Zhou Xiaofu and the others went directly into the hall, and as soon as they entered, they saw the eldest aunt sitting on the main seat solemnly explaining something to a mother-in-law, and there was a mother-in-law waiting for a report on the side.

Seeing this, Wang Errong changed his hand to the maid and served snacks, and talked and laughed quietly with Zhou Xiaofu on the side.

After a quarter of an hour to see the mother-in-law go out, Wang Errong immediately called Qiumei to make tea again, and he took it over and said, "Mother, have you said that your mouth has been dry for so long?" Drink some tea to moisten your throat".

Seeing that her daughter was so sensible and well-behaved, Ai was very relieved, smiled with satisfaction, and took a sip of tea.

"Sister Fu'er, did you sleep well yesterday?" Ai asked with a kind face.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "Auntie, Fu'er slept well, she was talking to her grandmother this morning, everything was new, and I didn't even want to sleep anymore."

Ai Shi was very satisfied when she heard this, this mother-in-law must have felt that she had arranged it properly, this girl from my aunt's family was very sensible.

Ai Shi smiled more and said, "Sister Fu, this will call you because I have something to tell you."

Zhou Xiaofu straightened up and nodded earnestly to listen.

Seeing this, Ai Shi said, "I have discussed with your eldest uncle, and tomorrow Errong's and Gupta will make you a praiser."

The praisers of this and Gupta are generally friends and sisters of the Gua.

As a praiser, it is to assist Zhengbin in saluting, to put it bluntly, it is to give Zhengbin a hand, but in this dynasty, the fact that the girl can be a praiser shows that her popularity and character have been recognized by the elders, which is also an honor.

Zhou Xiaofu was stunned and asked: "Auntie, Fu'er has never been a praiser, tomorrow is a good day for my eldest cousin, I am so unfamiliar, how can I ......?"

Wang Errong on the side immediately pouted and said: "Sister Fu, no matter what, I want you to be a praiser for me, I can't refuse"

Ai Shi on the side smiled and looked at his daughter with disgust: "Errong, tomorrow is your ceremony, you are a sixteen-year-old girl, after the ceremony, you will learn to be a housekeeper with your mother, and now you are still so coquettish, what can you do in the future?"

Wang Errong said coquettishly: "I don't care, I'm only sixteen tomorrow, and I can still be coquettish today."

Zhou Xiaofu on the side said seriously: "Since the eldest aunt and uncle are willing to make Fu'er the praiser of the eldest cousin, then Fu'er will try her best to not embarrass her uncle and aunt."

This must be what the uncle meant, the original owner's mother died early, the original owner didn't love his mother in Zhoufu's father, no one worried about his own family affairs, and the uncle wanted to take advantage of this time to praise the elders who participated in the ceremony to know him, which was really well-intentioned.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaofu said seriously, Ai Shi and Wang Errong laughed all of a sudden, and Wang Errong laughed: "Sister Fu, it's very simple to be a praiser, you don't have to be so nervous."

Zhou Xiaofu also responded with a smile, and saw the maid come to spread the word that it was the housekeeper of the big kitchen and her mother had something to report.

Seeing that Ai Shi was busy again, Wang Errong took Zhou Xiaofu to his courtyard.

Wang Errong's courtyard is called 'Aoshuang Garden', and this font is a heroic wild grass.

Zhou Xiaofu took a serious look, the door of this courtyard is a small wooden door with two black doors, and the plaque is also black, and the word is also black, but it has a thin white edge, which makes the words on the plaque more three-dimensional.

Seeing Zhou Xiaofu carefully guarding the door, Wang Errong introduced: "Sister Fu, the word on this door was mentioned by my grandfather during my full moon ceremony."

Zhou Xiaofu was stunned, this is early enough, and it shows that the Ai family attaches great importance to Ai and Wang Errong.

In front of this courtyard is the main hall of three rooms, a bedroom, and an ear room.

Wang Errong's room furnishings can be regarded as exquisite, two pairs of big-eared plum bottles, all kinds of ornaments are also numerous, this girl's boudoir is not like the elder's room, there is no formal table and chairs, a round low table is placed in the middle of the hall, and some thick round cushions that can sit cross-legged, the ground is covered with thick fur blankets, and a low couch is placed on the side, a small pear blossom wood machine is placed on the couch, and pillows of various colors are placed on both sides, making the whole room full of youthful atmosphere.

As Wang Errong walked in and nested on the couch together, the maid also immediately brought the tea bowl, Zhou Xiaofu pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows to look at Wang Errong.

Wang Errong immediately explained: "It's always Biluochun, Longjing, I'm annoyed, this is the flower tea given by my little aunt, I heard that it can be beautiful."

Zhou Xiaofu tasted it shallowly, there are roses, chrysanthemums, wolfberries, rock sugar or something, the taste is good, the little girl is afraid that she loves to drink it.

Seeing that there would be no one else, Zhou Xiaofu took out a small pink gold velvet box from the purse around her waist and handed it to Wang Errong.

Wang Errong took it suspiciously, such a delicate box, seeing Zhou Xiaofu nodding, he opened it with a light effort, not like his usual box with jewelry, there was some mechanism on the side of this box, there was a bullet force, as if it was loaded with a small lotus leaf clip.

When I opened it, I saw a pair of small earrings embedded in the box, in fact, Wang Errong had already noticed that his cousin was wearing a pair of extremely shiny earrings on his ears, which were delicate and cute.

It's just that I didn't expect to give myself a pair, and I picked one up and looked at it, it was a five-piece flower with a crystal-like ornament in the middle, and the ear buckles on the back were also very exquisite, and they were also flower-shaped. Wang Errong asked happily, "Sister Fu, is this for me?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu laughed, she just likes Wang Errong's generosity and unpretentiousness, if she likes it, she likes it, and she will say it when she opens her mouth.

So he nodded and said: "Yes, this is a special gift for the eldest cousin, it is a pair of platinum diamond stud earrings, this diamond is a foreign product, known as the hardest thing in foreign countries, generally used to give good friends, relatives and lovers, meaning that feelings are like this diamond, extremely hard." ”

Wang Errong's heart was full of emotion when she heard it, she didn't expect this small gift to have such a meaning in it, and happily put it away and said: "Okay, I wrote down Sister Fu's friendship, and I'll wear it tomorrow, hehe." ”

The two chatted for a while before noon, Wang Errong left Zhou Xiaofu to eat in his yard, Zhou Xiaofu didn't refuse and asked Cuihua to go back to Lan's mother, and stayed to eat.

Wang Errong must have been prepared for a long time, and actually prepared eight hot dishes and four cold dishes, a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup.

Zhou Xiaofu was depressed, there was no rest for this day, and there was still food there, and if she ate like this, I was afraid that the entire general's mansion would know that she could eat.

Under Wang Errong's Yin eyes, Zhou Xiaofu ate three bowls of rice, ate four dishes, and drank three bowls of soup before stopping.

Wang Errong was satisfied and called the maid to rinse her mouth with water or something. Looking at Wang Errong's expression, Zhou Xiaofu was extremely depressed, this eldest cousin was afraid that he already thought that he couldn't eat enough in the Zhou Mansion, and even a few cousins who had breakfast today would probably say it when they went back, and they had such a miscalculation.

After eating, Zhou Xiaofu said goodbye and returned to her yard to rest, and after going back, she sent the maid on duty and began to practice the breathing method.
