Chapter 305: Cousins in the Four-Room One
This autumn day was crisp, Mo Xiang waited for Fan Anyang to get up, Yan Yue whispered to Mo Xiang, what clothes are the girls going to wear? Mo Xiang pointed to the clothes hanging on the screen and said: "I am wearing a moon-white collared middle coat, a coat of lotus color placket, and a skirt with a folded branch treasure flower jacket."
Yanyue nodded and went to find matching jewelry and shoes, waiting for Mo Xiang to wait for Fan Anyang to wear good clothes, when she sat in front of the mirror, she had found embroidered shoes in the lotus color, and there were several wooden boxes in front of the mirror, and the wooden boxes contained matching jewelry, all of which were hostas and silver hairpins.
Mo Xiang nodded secretly when she saw it, "But today is a day of reunion, and it's not good to be too plain, the girl will see if you bring the lady over this time the Yingluo collar and the Fulu jade pendant?"
Fan Anyang asked her to take it out and try it on, and a little beauty with picturesque eyebrows and eyes was reflected in the mirror, with a small peony-headed hosta on her hairpin, and several silver-inlaid pearl hairpins next to it.
After the women looked at it carefully, they took cloaks, hand stoves and other things and went out with Fan Anyang.
The Fan Amber brothers rode horses, and Mrs. Fan took her daughter to the Ding Mansion in a car, and on the way Mrs. Fan whispered to her daughter about the fourth uncle of the little brother.
"Your little uncle passed on to your uncle, but it's still your little uncle."
"Hmm." Fan Anyang nodded, she understands this, she has heard her brother say it.
"Your brother-in-law and sister-in-law have three sons and three daughters under their knees, Xiu Ming is the longest, just married a wife a few years ago, married to the niece of your sister-in-law's sister-in-law, Xiuyi is the second, this year is sixteen, the order is Tanglin Gu, originally at the end of the year to get married, Xiu Hong is fourteen this year, the eldest daughter is the same as you, she is already married, and the second daughter is the eighth girl Xiao'an was also out of the cabinet last year, and the eleventh girl Xiaole. A few days ago, I got engaged, and the wedding date has not yet been decided. ”
Fan Anyang snuggled in his mother's arms and asked, "I thought that the second uncle and the third uncle had the most brothers and sisters, but it turned out that it wasn't!"
Mrs. Fan stroked the broken hair in her daughter's ear, "Your fourth uncle's mother is straightforward and cheerful. It's not a little angry with your third aunt. Speaking of the days before she got married, Mrs. Fan couldn't help but sigh, time is like water and fleeting without a trace.
Fan Anyang listened to her talking, suddenly stopped sighing, couldn't help but be vigilant, and asked about Grandma Liu's door.
"You're a filial son so much?"
Fan Anyang said in his heart, I don't want to care! I'm just afraid that you will drill the horns again, and you have nothing to do to divert your attention! Fan Anyang smiled sweetly, "People are just curious!" The sister-in-law of the Du family, who is the master, has never come to our house to walk around. She is the nurse of Sister-in-law Du, and now she is out of nationality and is no longer on an errand in the Du family, so she will come to us! If the outside world knows about this, they don't know what gossip will come out. ”
Before Guangling, it was rumored that Grandma Liu was carrying her master. Strict deduction of the master's little uncle, later Du Fu let her get rid of the nationality and glory, but the market said that the Du family is kind, such a slave did not kill and sold directly, it is considered to be soft-hearted, the Du family in addition to letting the culprit get out of the nationality and raise it, I heard that he also gave a sum of money!
However, there are also humanitarians, and the Du family is soft-hearted. It's not a good thing, it will connive at other people to do the same, in short, the evaluation is polar, but it also adds to the conversation of Guangling City.
Mrs. Fan glared at her daughter, "You let the two Ruifang sisters find out these gossip in the market all day long." It's not good to spread it, it will affect your reputation. ”
Fan Anyang was slightly stunned, boudoir reputation?" I didn't let them go around, I just let them walk around the house and listen to what the mothers-in-law and grandmothers were talking about. Besides, if you really don't know anything, if you're as stupid as Sister-in-law Du, you can believe whatever people say, okay?"
Mrs. Fan smiled: "Yes, but not too much."
Fan Anyang agreed, and arrived at Ding Mansion with a smile.
Ding Mansion was beaming, and the people who came and went were all smiling on their faces, the third master was going to Beijing to report on his work, and it was something that everyone had known for a long time that he passed through Guangling, but the fourth master's family also had to go to Beijing to report on his work, and there was no news in advance, but it was a big surprise.
As soon as Mrs. Fan arrived, the second lady hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Mrs. sister-in-law has arrived, Mrs. Auntie, they are already inside!" Then he lowered his voice and said to Mrs. Fan: "Sister, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Fan waved her hand to let the Fan Anbo brothers and sisters go in first, and bit her ears with the second lady.
"Isn't it this house's business?" The second lady was embarrassed and said, this house is the private residence of the second master, it was originally bought a little bigger, the old lady took the nephews of the third room to live in, and she can still live there, the third master came, and the long-term entourage and staff were placed in the outer courtyard for a few days, and they could still cope with it, but who knows, the fourth master also came back with his family?
After a night of temporary squeezing, I finally coped with it, as long as I held on until they went to Beijing, it would be fine, but last night I heard that Sifang planned to advance Ding Xiuyi's marriage date, and after marrying, the young couple followed their in-laws to Beijing together.
Marrying a wife is a big deal, the fourth room has been out of the succession, it is not good to marry a wife in the second room house, you have to go back to your hometown Tangling, the fourth master plans to go to Beijing with the third master, and the matter of marrying a wife will be handed over to the wife and daughter-in-law to take care of.
"Mother originally said that it is rare for the family to reunite, and it is better to be affectionate if you squeeze it, but who knows, your fourteenth niece and nephew are not happy."
Mrs. Fan asked, "That's the fourth sister-in-law, are they temporarily staying at my house?"
"Of course, they have a lot of family! I'll be right, your house has few owners, there must be a vacant room, so I asked you. When the second lady heard her ask, she knew that it was no problem, so she laughed a few words.
"That's good, our family is a small temple that can't afford a big Buddha, and the fourth sister-in-law and I have the same temperament." Although Mrs. Fan didn't say who the Buddha was, how could the second lady not hear it?
"That's it." The second lady breathed a sigh of relief, "I originally wanted to ask my aunt's wife, but you also know that there are elders in her house." ”
Mrs. Fan patted her sister-in-law's hand, "Understood." The sister-in-law talked and walked away, and when they arrived at the old lady, everyone had already seen the ceremony, and as soon as Mrs. Fan came in and greeted the two brothers, the juniors got up again to greet her.
Ding Xiaoqing complained to the maid in a low voice, scared the two maids' scalps numb, like rain hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, the breeze grabbed her, and the other hand picked up the tea bowl next to her, and presented it to Ding Xiaoqing with both hands, "Fangcai's breakfast is a little salty, the girl is thirsty, right?"
Ding Xiaoyan was sitting next to her, and she had already heard Ding Xiaoqing's complaints. Yesterday, the third and fourth uncles came back with their families, and it was rare to see the family reunited, and the grandmother was happy, but Ding Xiaoqing was crying beside her. I usually don't see her missing her deceased sister-in-law and deceased sisters, and she cries for them in a happy scene.
The scene cooled down for a while, the grandmother's face sank, everyone was silent, and the dinner had to end hastily.
The sixth sister of the fourth room is married, this time only the eighth sister and the eleventh sister came, last night her mother arranged for the two of them to live with her and the thirteenth sister, but in the end there were too many people to wait, so they could only temporarily settle people to Ding Xiaoqing, Ding Xiaoqing actually made a fuss on the spot. In the end, the only way to put people in the grandmother's house was to be placed.
Early in the morning, she listened to her mother and grandmother discussing, to place the fourth room in the aunt's house, and to add trouble to her mother for nothing, at this time even a maid can secretly dislike her mother for some reason? Hum! Ding Xiaoyan turned her face away and whispered to Ding Xiaozhen.
Ding Xiaoxiang hugged the child and watched his sisters ignore Ding Xiaoqing. didn't bother with her, turned around and chatted with Ding Xiaolou, after laughing for a while, because the fourth room was going to live in Fan's house, the fourth lady took her daughter-in-law and daughter to retire first, and Mrs. Fan explained that Dongqing would go home first and talk to Manager Fan. So that people can tidy up the house.
Ding Xiao'an, the eighth girl in the fourth room, and Ding Xiaole, the eleventh girl, live in the courtyard of Ding Xiaoyan and Ding Xiaolou respectively, they want to leave, and the two sisters, as the masters, naturally want to go back to help, and the two of them pull Wang Jinyun and Fan Anyang to go together, and Ding Xiaoxiang and Ding Xiaozhen naturally follow back. The boys went down to the outer study at Ding Xiaolun's beckoning.
So Ding Xiaoqing, who stayed alone, was very eye-catching, she didn't want to leave, but no one greeted her, she has been the master of the stars and moons since she was a child, and she almost thought of returning to her hometown. will be left behind, the old lady is annoyed that she doesn't pay attention to her, pulls the two daughters to talk, the third lady sits on the wall and watches, the second lady has to smile bitterly and coax her to let her go back to the room.
Several girls smiled and went back to Ding Xiaoyan's yard together, Ding Xiaole was a little uneasy and wanted to go back, Ding Xiaoxiang comforted her, "Clean up and tidy up your own maids will do it, if they can't do it well, there are also the housekeepers and daughters-in-law in your yard!" If you are the master to help them finish everything, the fourth aunt will think that they are incompetent, and they can't even do this little thing well, and they may directly replace them! ”
Ding Xiaoan nodded beside him, "That's it, that's it, what the fourth sister said is, I told her a long time ago, but she always doesn't worry about anything, hey!" What's not to worry about! It's to help pack up the cages, so she has to keep an eye on herself. ”
The two sisters in the fourth room look like the fourth lady, they all have round faces and round eyes, and their smiles are very sweet and friendly, but they are only delicate, compared to being proud, they have a good appearance, and Ding Xiaoqing, who is arrogant, seems to be very easy to get along with, she sat on the side and looked at Ding Xiaoxiang's godsister, while absent-mindedly wandering.
Ding Xiao'an is only a few days younger than Ding Xiaoyan, but Ding Xiao'an looks calmer than Ding Xiaoyan, maybe because she also has a sister with a soft personality, Ding Xiaole is not unaware of things, but she is not worried about the maids to put her things together.
Ding Xiaoxiang is used to being a sister, and when she sees something wrong with her sisters, she can't help but say something, Ding Xiao'an finally has a helper, and the fourth sister speaks more slippery than her, so she sings straight to the point, Wang Jinyun looked at it, and couldn't help but turn his head to Ding Xiaolou and said: "This picture is so familiar, I don't know where I've seen it?"
The corners of Ding Xiaolou's mouth twitched slightly, and Ding Xiaoyan leaned over and laughed quietly, "Doesn't it look like the godson of Sanniang that we watched last time?"
"Like?" Wang Jinyun didn't think it was like it, but he couldn't say that he had seen a similar scene there.
Fan Anyang looked at Ding Xiaoxiang, and then at Ding Xiaolou, remembering that Ding Xiaolou was punished for colliding with her and her grandmother before, and the third lady kept complaining, if Ding Xiaoxiang hadn't detained Ding Xiaolou that day, she wouldn't have been allowed to do such nonsense.
Later, when everyone chatted together, they said that Ding Xiaoxiang has always been a good sister and brought her sisters very well. Fan Anyang held her cheeks and looked at Ding Xiaoxiang Yin Yin persuaded her, Ding Xiao'an Xu was at home before, and she was so angry by her sister's disobedience that she choked enough, and added oil and vinegar to the side from time to time, she looked at Ding Xiaole carefully, and saw that she had not been persuaded, but between her eyebrows, she was more determined in her opinion, that is, she wanted to go back and watch the maids sort out the cages.
"Cousin Le wants to go back, so let her go back and have a look!" Fan Anyang interrupted, but Ding Xiaoxiang shook his head, and was about to speak, Fan Anyang said again: "Cousin Le should know best what kind of people are waiting around her, maybe they are different from the fourth cousin's maids, they just need the master to take a look and encourage them to be more attentive?"
Ding Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, and saw that her sisters were reasonable, so she responded a little sneeringly, but she was still a little unhappy on her face, Ding Xiaole saw her release, so she happily ran out of the house, Fan Anyang smiled and held Ding Xiaoxiang's hand and said: "The maid in Cousin Le's house is clumsy, not as smart and dexterous as the maid next to the fourth cousin, so she has to go back and watch."
Ding Xiaoan was surprised: "How does my sister know that the maids in my sister's house are all clumsy?"
