The three sisters sat on the stone bench and gossiped without a word, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the small pond was also glowing with pale golden streamers, the beautiful little face of the jade face was bathed in the sunset, the pink makeup was as cute as jade, she smiled coquettishly, "Second sister, what did you see today?" What's new to your jewelry? ”

Yutan saw that she finally asked after a long time, and couldn't help but smile slightly, when they were children, the bracelets and hairpins in Yutan's hands didn't know how much to give to Yurong, and they were all made of silver in the public, Yurong lost his ability in a few days, and ran to her to wipe his tears, saying that he was afraid that his mother would blame him, so Yutan gave her his own.

Yutan is used to being loose in her hands, she doesn't take these jewelry seriously, she doesn't know how much she has given back and forth, and Qi can only sigh helplessly when she knows it.

Yutan just played with the big red flower in the bowl in his hand, and said with a smile, "The jewelry is just that, you also know my temper, I have always been unconcerned about those, I can't remember how many, but there are almost all of them, there are also begonia flower styles, there are plum blossom styles, there are magnolia flower patterns, headdresses, hairpins, earrings, bracelets are all set in a jewelry box, I can't remember how many of them, all put there." ”

Yurong's mouth was bitter, and her lips couldn't help but tremble slightly, "So, second sister, you have a big box for jewelry alone, and the little maid next to you takes care of it?" ”

Yutan looked at her distressed and said, "I just can't take care of it." Yutan stood up and smiled, "I should go back when it's late, you two play slowly." ”

"Second sister, don't, people still have something to ask the second sister." Yurong smiled coquettishly, "I'd better go to my sister's room and sit for a while, it's weirdly hot outside, and there is no place to sit, and the mosquitoes will come out after a while." ”

Yutan smiled and held her down, "Now I can't let the two of you in the house anymore, there are a room full of things, even I don't know where those things are placed, what if I accidentally lose something." After saying that, he walked away.

Yurong was so angry that her face changed, "Fourth sister, tell me about her frivolous appearance, isn't it just marrying a stammering son, what's so proud, none of us still want her to have that idea!" ”

Yufang didn't say anything, just smiled, and remembered a few small pieces of jewelry she lost when she was a child, which scared her into crying at the time, and then the second sister secretly helped her make up for it, and since then Yufang has been hearted, if she doesn't have these jewelry, she can't go to see her grandmother.

Both of them followed their aunts to live in the back row of small courtyards, and they heard each other, compared to the Yutan sisters who lived in the front yard and a separate courtyard, they didn't know how much they were closer, they were all concubines, and there were more topics, the two walked back hand in hand, Yurong asked tentatively, "The second sister said you just now?" ”

Yufang couldn't adapt to it, so she smiled embarrassedly, and Yurong smiled and said to her, "If you want me to say that you are really stupid, she said that you just listen?" She didn't want to think about it, in a few days she was married, and said what are you doing, you worked hard to manage the accounts, and in the end they refused to say that you were a good son, I had already seen it, so I simply pretended to be sick and refused to do rough work for them. ”

"Yufang, what I said is for your good, you go back and think about it, what can you do when you cry, hurry up and make up your mind is serious, I tell you, Jinyun Hou just died Mrs. is waiting for the renewal, what a good opportunity this is, marry Mrs. Hou, or I will go to my grandmother to tell you."

Yufang's face changed and she swore, "Even if I die, I won't marry that bad old man." ”

Yurong stood there and said with a smile, "You see that you still have a temper, and you can't stand your grandmother's willingness, what can you do." After saying that, he turned around and left first.

Yufang curled up and hid under the shade of the flowers, until the sky darkened, and then returned to the small courtyard where she and her aunt lived. ”

Yufang's smile was more ugly than crying, and her aunt hugged her, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The two of them hid in the house, and Yufang said in a low voice, "Auntie, the second sister said she would help me." ”

Her aunt hugged her daughter and trembled gently, "Thank God, God is still willing to take care of us, you have accompanied Brother Shen to school for a few years, and you can be regarded as literate, and the second lady is still willing to help you, you will have to help your wife more and more in the future." ”

……

When Yutan went back, Qi's main room was lively, Brother Jin ran around naughty, Yuqin teased her little sister, the maids in the house over there were busy setting the meal, Yutan, Yuqin took Brother Jin to sit there and eat first, Miss Eight looked straight to the dining table, Yutan let people hold a small bowl of gruel, and slowly fed her a few bites.

After a long time, Marquis Li finally came back tiredly, and said, "Yutan stays, and you all go down." ”

After a while, the main room was quiet, and Qi asked tentatively, "Master Hou should also eat." ”

Hou Ye nodded, Qi Shi hurriedly stood up and ordered, Yutan also helped to arrange the dishes and chopsticks, and after a while, the color was ready, Qi personally poured wine and cloth dishes, and served everything properly, Li Hou Ye was really hungry, and he didn't care about the rules of eating or not saying anything, "Yutan, you will talk about today's things in detail." ”

Yutan spoke clearly, and Hou Ye Li listened to it and groaned for a long time, his thick eyebrows were almost twisted into a pimple, "It's not easy to do now." ”

Qi Shi hurriedly asked, "But is it for Brother Shen'er's marriage?" Master Hou is not that I can't see Brother Shen'er, it's really that girl is inappropriate. ”

Li Mingwei smiled bitterly, "Now this family business can only be done first, no matter how reluctant it is, the old prince of Yanci wants to find a way to have a relationship with our family, he first fell in love with the third son of the Fang family, and it is also because Ying Guogong guards the border all the year round, and has military power in his hands, who told me that I also have those military power in Xishan, the old prince naturally refuses to let go." ”

Li Mingwei looked at Yutan, "I agreed to this family affair because the eldest prince doesn't care about anything, our family can still have a relationship with the Fang family, your mother is also willing, even I didn't expect the Fang family to attach importance to the eldest son, this is an unexpected joy, your father-in-law Fang Kui is not soft and hard, it is extremely difficult to approach, you have to deal with it carefully when you get to their house." ”

Qi's face was sad, Yutan looked at his mother and said with a smile, "Mother, what are you worried about, their family is willing to give those dowry gifts, it is also because they value our family in their hearts, what are you worried about now in the future." Yutan thought about it and said, "I also beg my father to think about Brother Shen again, that little girl is rude and willful, how can Brother Shen live in the future." ”

Li Houye smiled, "This is not worrying, she can marry into the door?" Brother Shen'er's kid is ghostly, don't worry about coaxing a little girl, besides, she is still the granddaughter of Wei Guogong, the daughter of General Zhenguo, although there is also a relationship with the palace of Yanci County, we are also close to Wei Guogong, the old prince is the master, Wei Guogong may not be reluctant in his heart, our family should come down first, Brother Shen is still young, and I don't know how the situation has changed in a few years. ”
