"How can you be separated from your family?" Cui Wanqing unconsciously paid more attention to this similar situation because of Brother Li's life experience.

asked with some sighs: "Mrs. Dai, you also said yesterday that your three daughters-in-law were personally selected by you, and they are a young lady from a scholarly family, and they are also a good family in Jiangyuan County." ”

"I can't help but be a little curious, a young lady like us in a high-gate compound, can't go out when she is idle, even if she goes out, it must be a nurse, mother, maid, there are so many people waiting, how can they be separated?"

"It's a little too unreasonable, it's really unbelievable."

According to Cui Wanqing's daily life, all the young ladies are the same, and when they go out, they are often followed by maids, mothers, housekeepers, and little maids.

People with higher status will also bring a nursing home that is strong and healthy and can do some kung fu to protect them.

For example, Meng Yuele, there are two thirteen or fourteen children around her, both of whom are masters of small martial arts, as long as their young lady goes out, these two will definitely follow them.

Seeing such a battle, those crutches, those who shoot flowers, can't hide, how can they stupidly bump up?

In the current situation, these indiscriminate things not only bumped into each other, but they actually succeeded, so the subordinates of this family, are they all dead?

When Mrs. Dai heard her words, she shook her hand on the fan for a moment, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Oh, my Miss Nine, you are really a young lady in charge, can you be like you two?" ”

"You know, in a small county like ours. There are also many families with slightly better backgrounds, who either start a small business and start a family, or they have become famous and have made some profits through fame. ”

"The family can afford to buy slaves, but there are not too many, and it is not strange that every brother and girl has only one person by his side."

"And my third daughter-in-law is also a family with a story at home. I can't talk about her family. It can only be attributed to the four words in the family road. ”

Her father was a smart and ambitious man, and he was selected as a young man, but unfortunately when he took the government exam, he was dragged down by the fraud case that year. Therefore, you will not be allowed to take the test again for the rest of your life. ”

"Fortunately, his knowledge is good. Wrote a good hand again. On our side, he is also a well-known celebrity, and he has brought out a few capable disciples. The originally bleak family scene has gradually improved. ”

"And when her sister was lost, she was only four or five years old, and their family had just seen a better look, and it was not at all like now."

"Therefore, there is only one mother-in-law around the sisters, and two little maids are waiting, and when it is busy, my daughter-in-law has to help the brothers make shoes and socks."

"Mrs. Cheng should still remember this incident, right? That year's Lantern Festival, several big families in our county, the lantern fighting was hot, people from ten miles and eight townships rushed to see the Lantern Festival, that person was very many, and the four main streets were all squeezed through. ”

"No, it's easy to have an accident when there are too many people, their carriage was scattered by the flow of people, the child's carriage was later found in the North Forest, the old servant who drove the car was killed, and the little girl and her personal little maid were all gone."

"At that time, the Xu family and his wife were going crazy, they scattered a lot of silver, looking everywhere, but unfortunately, once they were abducted, they must have been taken far away, where can you still find them?"

"After all these years, this child has no news, he really can't see anyone alive, he can't see his body dead, and over time, it has become a big heart disease in their family."

"Alas, tomorrow we will go to Caiping Mountain, and my three daughters-in-law will also go with us, when the time comes, you two will see her, but don't mention this, that child's heart disease is not lighter than her mother's."

Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang were embarrassed when they heard it, and they both felt sorry for Dai San's grandmother's lost sister.

is obviously a good young lady, but she was abducted by a kidnapper, and ended up as a slave and a maid, she was served by others, but she became someone who served others, how can she be pitiful?

Because the family background of Grandma Dai's mother's family is much better than the family background that Cui Wanqing envisioned in her heart for Brother Li's family, she really didn't want to ask.

Cui Wanqing was just thinking about it, and when she went back, she would bring a few portraits of Brother Li, and she might as well let Mrs. Dai take a look at it tomorrow.

While playing, leave two more for the famous Mingyue Nunnery, Mrs. Dai said that the incense of the Yuenunnery is vigorous, presumably there will be no less female dependents who come and go, maybe there will be an unexpected joy?

They gossiped about it, and the things that should be packed were all sorted out, and Aunt Huang first sent someone to send it back with the car, and then entered the private room with Fang's mother and Xu's mother.

Although there is still a while before the time for lunch, Mrs. Dai said that the guests she has set up are the best restaurants in the county, and the private room is on the third floor, with a wide view.

In good weather like today, you can see the Lianyun River in the distance, and it is actually very good to enjoy the vista wherever you go.

Not to mention, Mrs. Dai's introduction is not exaggerated at all, this restaurant called Guest Lai, relying on the drum tower of the county seat, the terrain is prosperous, on the third floor, the inland river, the market, and the shops are all at a glance.

They are sitting in a private room today, the geographical location is excellent, facing the wharf outside the county, looking into the distance, not only can you see the wide Lianyun River, the merchant ships and passenger ships on the wharf are also in full view.

Accustomed to seeing the high-rise buildings in the capital, and then looking at the water and sky in front of him, it was really like being in the most beautiful landscape painting, Cui Wanqing felt that she hadn't appreciated enough, and the people who were waiting in the house were already asking Mrs. Dai if she was going to serve food.

Because Jiangyuan County is close to the mountains and water, there are not only wild honey steamed bear paws, mountain pepper stir-fried muntjac meat such as mountain delicacies, but also braised herring, soft-shelled turtle soup, pepper and salt small river shrimp such as river fresh.

Although the dishes are not as exquisite as those in Jingli Juewei Yayuan, this local home-cooked food tastes unique in it.

Cao Tang applauded this sumptuous lunch, and packed a portion of fried muntjac meat and small river shrimp before leaving. said that it was to take home to Jade, and a few of them stayed at home to taste it.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Dai took the sisters to the Zhenming Tea House to listen to the story, which will be booked in the private room on the second floor, the layout is different from the capital, no walls and no doors, all carved partitions are separated.

At the hollow moon door, it is either blocked by an eight-open embroidered silk screen, or it is decorated with a beaded curtain on the outside, and a plain gauze curtain is lined inside.

Faintly looking out. You can see the storyteller on the high platform on the first floor.

Needless to say. This is also the boundary where the rich and noble families in the county come to have fun, and they only sat down here, and the tea and snacks were only half served, and someone outside came to ask to see them.

One of the people who came was Mrs. Fang's personal maid. One is the housekeeper mother of Grandma Guo. Mrs. Dai's private room. It's the largest room on the second floor, so I'm just going to invite both of them.

According to the words discussed with Cui Wanqing, he only said that he was the daughter of Master Dai's friend in the capital. Come to Jiangnan to play, and visit the uncle and aunt of the late Jiaoshi by the way.

Because Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang are dressed up expensive and vulgar, their conversation is elegant and atmospheric, and their temperament is even more elegant and dignified, they easily won the favor of the Fang and Guo families.

At that time, Mrs. Dai was warmly invited to take these two lovely nieces to their home as guests.

Later, I heard Mrs. Dai say that she was going to Caiping Mountain tomorrow, and she would come back to visit again, Mrs. Fang and Guo Shao's grandmother discussed, and simply agreed that everyone would go to Caipingshan Garden together, and it would not be too late to get together again.

Cao Tang's personality is already outgoing, and it is the first time he has gone far away, and everything he sees in front of him feels rare.

She was impatient to talk to her elders, and after a while, she played with the seventh miss of the Fang family and the eleventh miss of the Guo family.

The three of them asked the maid to move the chair to the window, and while watching the boats on the Lianyun River, they talked happily, and it seemed that the three of them got along quite well.

Cui Wanqing saw that it was rare for her to meet a little friend of the same age and who fell in love with each other in a foreign country, and she couldn't bear to sweep Cao Tang's interest, and originally wanted to go home early so that she could take care of her outfits, but she postponed it a lot.

Let Cao Tang have as much fun as possible, her little cousin's temperament completely follows her Laozi, and she is very bold and generous.

Although Cui Wanqing saw that there were two little girls, she asked Fang's mother to give the two young ladies a meeting gift, but later Cao Tang and the two children had a good time.

On a whim, he gave Fang Danhua his white jade flying crane pressure skirt and Guo Wenxin the pearl coral bracelet on his wrist.

Cui Wanqing was talking with Mrs. Dai and them on the side, but secretly, she was paying attention to Cao Tang's movements on their side.

Seeing her cousin, she gave away such valuable jewelry, but she didn't have any complaints, after all, no matter how valuable these two pieces of jewelry are, they are just dead things, and their nobility is limited.

It was the return gift from the two little girls to Cao Tang that made her can't help but look at it twice.

Fang Danhua is twelve years old this year, older than Cao Tang, and is a young lady from the Fang family.

is a child who can see the good luck, she looked at the pressure skirt given to her by Cao Tang, the color and carving are all excellent, even compared to the jade double swallow worn by her mother, it is not bad.

Where do you dare to take it lightly?

After thinking about it in her heart, she took off the red gold and ruby peony flower collar she was wearing around her neck and brought it to Cao Tang herself.

This is Fang Danhua's grandmother's birthday gift just given to her this year, the ruby in the heart of the peony flower, which is the size of a pigeon's egg, is the most valuable of all her jewelry.

Although it is not as good as the white jade Feihe pressure skirt that Cao Tang gave her, at least it is the most decent piece of jewelry that Fang Danhua can give out right now.

Cao Tang already had a pearl white jade longevity lock on his neck, so he simply took off the longevity lock at this moment and handed it to tourmaline to hold.

He looked down at the Yingluo collar and asked with a smile, "Atan look, this ring is very suitable for the clothes I am wearing today." ”

Fang Danhua saw that she liked it, and she didn't dislike it, so she put down the heart hanging in the air, this is her beloved thing, if she is not welcomed by others, then she will die of sadness.

She stretched out her hand and grabbed Cao Tang's hand, looking up and down with a smile, "Ah Tang, your complexion is fair, and you look much better than me, Ah Xin, do you say?" ”

Guo Wenxin, who was named by Fang Danhua, happened to be the same age as Cao Tang, and as soon as she received the pearl coral bracelet given to her by Cao Tang just now, she showed a look of surprise.

Directly wear it on your wrist and stroke it to admire, probably because you like it too much, and the time for this appreciation will inevitably be a little longer.

Fang Danhua's call made her come back to her senses, seeing that Fang Danhua, a young lady from a merchant family, gave such a pompous and luxurious collar to Cao Tang, the smile on her lips froze slightly.

Instinctively, I didn't want to be compared, so I raised my hand and longed for my head, but when I got to my ear, I hesitated, and finally this hand was stiffly folded back, and the pair of white jade beaded lotus earrings on my ears were taken off and sent to Cao Tang.

Cui Wanqing couldn't help but sneer lightly in her heart, this Miss Guo is a young lady from an official family, how can she be willing to lose to Fang Danhua, a young lady from a merchant family?

So she originally wanted to give the hairpin on her head, the white jade beaded lotus flower with green treasure tassel hairpin to Cao Tang.

But this hairpin is very exquisitely made, the white jade is the lotus, the green treasure tassel is carved into the shape of a lotus seed, and the pearls inlaid on the lotus flower are like dewdrops, which complement each other very well.

It was obvious that it was the owner's beloved thing, so after such a hesitation, Guo Wenxin replaced the hairpin with an earring.

To say that this earring can also be seen, the pearls inlaid on it are also the size of lotus seeds, and the lotus flower in the middle is an emerald, and it is quite elegant to look at.

But the problem is that the pearl coral bracelet that Cao Tang gave her has a total of eleven pearls, eleven coral beads, and eleven tourmaline beads the size of rice grains between the pearls and the coral.

The number of beads is according to Cao Tang's age, and it secretly coincides with thirty-three, which is an auspicious number in Buddhism.

Cao Tang has loved pearls the most since she was a child, so she has the most pearl jewelry, none of which are ordinary, almost all of them are the East Pearls collected by Master Cao San on the side of the East China Sea.

All of them are evenly sized, the size of a little thumb belly, in comparison, Miss Guo's return gift is really a bit bad.

The kid saw Cao Tang smiling and looked at it in the palm of his hand, nodded and said it was good-looking, and then handed it to the tourmaline behind him and took it.

The rest of the conversation was not brought up again, she looked as usual, and happily talked to the two of them, and the conversation had shifted from jewelry to the dock in the distance.

To say that Cao Tang's face was not a little displeased, but it was because of her attitude that Cao Tang's contempt for this gift became more and more apparent.

Guo Wenxin's heart immediately regretted it, he really shouldn't have been distressed for a while just now, so he replaced the hairpin with an earring and sent it out, now that the matter has come to this, he wants to exchange it for a gift, but he is more and more disadvantaged.

She looked at Fang Danhua talking and talking to Cao Tang about their Fang family's merchant ships, and then looked at the intimacy of the two holding hands, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. (To be continued......)
