Chapter 407: Sister-in-law
It was the playful-looking little girl who spoke.
Cheng Zheng and the others all laughed.
Seeing this, the little girl ran over happily, took Cheng Zheng's hand and called out sweetly, "Sister Zheng", and greeted Cheng Xiao and Cheng Sheng, and then beckoned her companion and beckoned: "Sister Jia, these are the sisters of the Cheng family in Jinling Jiuru Lane!" β
The woman's face turned red as if she could drip blood, and her expression became a little embarrassed.
How could such a generous woman suddenly become shy?
Zhou Shaojin secretly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the woman stepped forward and respectfully bowed her head to the side.
The playful little girl pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Jia is the eldest lady of the Min family in Fujian!" Her brother is the former champion Lang Xiaomin. β
Everyone showed a sudden realization.
Zhou Shaojin frowned.
Isn't the eldest lady of the Min family in Fujian the one who wants to marry Cheng Xu?
What day is it?
If you come out to visit the flower market, you will also meet Cheng Xu's fiancΓ©e!
In her previous life, she had never met the eldest lady of the Min family, but she didn't expect her to meet so quickly in this life.
I hope that everyone will have less contact in the future.
I just don't know how this eldest lady of the Min family is so familiar with Miss Fang?
Cheng Zheng introduced Zhou Shaojin to two young ladies, and then introduced two little girls to her: "This is the sixth lady of the Fang family, the name of the girl is a Xuan character, this is the eldest lady of the Min family......
Fang Xuan said with a smile: "Sister Min's single name has the word 'Jia'. Both of us are grass. β
Cheng Zheng and the others all laughed.
Zhou Shaojin also bent the corners of her mouth, and the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, but fortunately, she looked like a gentle and docile little girl, and Min Jia's attention was on the three Cheng sisters, and the three Cheng sisters also paid attention to Min Jia, and no one noticed.
Cheng Xiao asked Fang Xuan with a smile: "Why did you choose to visit the flower market today?" Didn't your uncle hold you to write? β
That tone is very familiar.
It can be seen that the Yuan family and the Fang family are very close.
Fang Xuan sighed and said, "Sister Xiao is really a pot that can't be opened!" Why would my dad let me out? It was Sister Jia who came from Fujian, and my mother asked me to accompany Sister Jia to go around, and my father opened Chrysostom, and I was able to copy 500 less every day. As she spoke, she walked over and hugged Cheng Zheng politely and listened to Gu Ning and Gu Zhong, and said with a smile: "Sister Zheng, why did you come to the flower market today?" Da Lang, Erlang, we haven't seen you for a few days, have you ever missed me? β
Gu Ning and Gu Zhong both showed cute smiles and called Fang Xuan "Auntie", and Gu Zhong even said, "Why haven't you been to our house for so long?" β
Fang Xuan's face turned red, squeaked for a moment, and said with a smile: "Next time my aunt goes to see you, I will bring you Wosi candy and Muli water!" β
Both smiled and nodded.
Cheng Sheng laughed on the side and whispered to Zhou Shaojin: "It is my second uncle's daughter, ranked sixth among sisters, but in fact she is the only daughter of my second uncle. β
If Fang Xuan said something wrong, let her not take it to heart.
When everyone met in Pingshui, Zhou Shaojin would not make her angry at all.
She smiled at Cheng Sheng.
Cheng Sheng suddenly sighed and said, "Shaojin, you are beautiful." The temper is so good, it has to be changed. lest you marry into someone else's family and be manipulated by your mother-in-law and sister-in-law......"
In the past, Cheng Sheng also said that she should endure everything, she only felt that Cheng Sheng was a lady of the sky, and she didn't have a backache when she stood and talked...... Now that I think about it, her words are very reasonable, and they are also heartfelt.
Zhou Shaojin apologized.
Seeing that everyone was very familiar, Wang Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly entertained everyone to drink tea in the pavilion outside the greenhouse: "...... Ladies and grandmothers can also take a look at my family's flower garden. β
Cheng Zheng smiled and said "good", and others thought she was the first to look at her, so naturally there would be no objections. Only Zhou Shaojin said with a smile: "I want to see their other flowers, a few sisters will go first, and I will come over later." β
Since she met her future brother and daughter-in-law here, presumably the three sisters of the Cheng family are very interested in Min Jia, so instead of sitting there doing nothing, she doesn't take a closer look at what flowers are sold in the Wang family. She came to Fengtai with great hopes, hoping to find a few good pots of flowers to go back.
Uncle Chi said that if possible, he would rush back to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with her.
When it falls, it's very hot.
If you can keep a few trees, it should be cooler.
I don't know if Uncle Chi has stored ice?
Or, persuade Uncle Chi to move to the house over Chaoyangmen?
Since there are several horses over there, it must be extremely spacious.
Zhou Shaojin thought about it in his heart, sent Cheng Zheng and the others away, and walked around the Wang family's greenhouse.
The daughter of the Wang family accompanied her, and from time to time introduced her to the flowers and plants in the conservatory: "...... These are tea plums...... These are plum branches, which have just bloomed and are being pruned...... These are peonies, which are two-color peonies that my grandfather raised at that time, and these pots, which are Junzi orchids, which are not too rare varieties, but they sell very well, and they have to bring one back with us when they come to our house...... This row is all Jianlan, sent from Fujian. When she said this, she paused and said, "Then Miss Fang is here to buy Jianlan." β
Min Jia is from Fujian, and it is easy to understand that Fang Xuan wants to buy Jianlan.
She smiled and nodded, and took a closer look at the Wang family's Junzilan.
The leaves are plump, and the stamens are also budding, and the color can already be seen.
Zhou Shaojin smiled: "It's true that you have to bring a pot back." β
Miss Wang smiled, hesitant.
Zhou Shaojin has never been an eventful person, but he didn't see it, and lowered his head and carefully selected seven or eight pots of Junzi Orchid.
The sister-in-law of the Wang family couldn't hold back in the end, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the sixth lady of the Fang family brought the eldest lady of the Min family!" I also went to see his brother when he was paraded in color, but it was too far away to see it clearly. The eldest lady of the Min family is so beautiful, then Min Zhuangyuan must also be very handsome. "Very interested. It's like those wives and grandmothers who are playing in the pear orchard.
Zhou Shaojin laughed and said, "I haven't seen it either." I don't know. β
Miss Wang's face turned red, and she hurriedly called the servant woman to help move a few pots of Junzi Orchid that Zhou Shaojin liked aside, and then loaded Zhou Shaojin into the carriage.
Zhou Shaojin chose a few more pots of plum blossoms, camellias, and kumquat money, and asked her if she had any flowers and trees such as Xifu begonias.
Miss Wang led her to another conservatory.
Zhou Shaojin was busy for a long time, and finally visited the Wang family's flower garden, and she found that the Wang family's flowers were better than the flower trees. She didn't force herself, just looked at it, and decided to go to other flower farmers' houses next time she came - since she could sell flowers in Fengtai, each family had its own flowers that were well grown.
When she walked back, she met Cheng Zheng.
She was enjoying the flowers with her two sons. While admiring the flowers, he also said, "...... Do you see that pink flower, it's an aster, and the big red flower over there is called helichrysum, do you see the difference between them? β
Gu Ning looked at it seriously, and Gu Zhong said with a smile: "Mother, don't chrysanthemums bloom in September?" How could they be opened at this time? Is it because of the greenhouse? β
"It's not." Cheng Zheng patiently explained, "These two flowers bloom this season. It is a relatively common flower. Only the more expensive flowers will be raised in the greenhouse. As for why they bloom at this time, my mother doesn't know. When we go back, how about you go and ask our florist? β
The two nodded in unison.
Gu Ning said: "Mother, I know." The petals of the aster are all open, and the petals of the helichrysum are always holding the stamen......"
Cheng Xiao touched Gu Ning's head encouragingly.
Zhou Shaojin's heart softened when he looked at it.
The other boys of this age she saw were all chickens flying and dogs jumping over the wall, but the two children of the Gu family were very self-controlled, and Cheng Zheng taught them really well!
It can be seen that the people of Jiuru Lane say that Cheng Zheng is like Mrs. Gu is not a lie!
However, she didn't talk to Miss Min and the others in the pavilion at this time, why did she take the child out to enjoy the flowers?
She walked over with a smile.
The two little ones saluted her.
Cheng Zheng said with a smile: "I heard your sister say that your flowers are also well raised, but you can be regarded as a helper." I'm going to be dumbfounded by these two boys. β
That's what she said, but there was a proud pride in her face.
Zhou Shaojin stepped forward with a smile and enjoyed the flowers with Cheng Zheng's mother and son.
A little maid ran over panting and said, "Grandma, the sixth miss of the Fang family and the eldest miss of the Min family are leaving, saying that they want to resign to you!" β
Cheng Zheng smiled and said to Zhou Shaojin: "Then let's go and send them together!" β
This is basic etiquette, and Zhou Shaojin is naturally as good as a stream.
Fang Xuan seemed to have the best relationship with Cheng Xiao, she tried her best to invite Zhou Shaojin and others to be guests at home, and said to Cheng Xiao: "My sister didn't tell me when she came, if you still postpone it, I will sue my aunt!" β
Cheng Xiao was kind and sent Fang Xuan and Min Jia away.
Cheng Sheng said: "The eldest lady of the Min family seems to be quite good. The eldest aunt's daughter-in-law picked a good one. β
Cheng Xiao, who was still very enthusiastic just now, cooled down and said, "Fang Xuan is not careful, and I don't know if I met it by chance or came prepared...... I'm afraid I'll have to see it. β
She has always been worried about the Min family's proposal that Cheng Xu Zhong should raise talents and discuss relatives.
Cheng Zheng was noncommittal, and said with a faint smile: "It's not too early, we have to go back." β
Cheng Sheng felt the coldness of the Cheng Zheng sisters, and forgot about Zhou Shaojin in confusion.
Zhou Shaojin didn't know what was going on, and shook his head gently.
Wang Niangzi, who had sent Fang Xuan and Min Jia away, ran over and asked them if they had any flowers.
Cheng Sheng chose a few pots of Jianlan, Cheng Xiao chose a few pots of holly trees and the like, but Cheng Zheng chose some common grass flowers such as tobacco, dahlia, and half lotus.
When it was time to load the carriage, Cheng Sheng admired Zhou Shaojin's foresight, and saw that Zhou Shaojin bought a lot of fast-flowering Junzi Orchid in one go, and said with a smile: "Even if you want to give it to your sister, you have bought too much." β
Zhou Shaojin said with a smile: "There are a few pots for you - the first time I came out with a few cousins, I don't know what to buy for us, so I borrowed flowers to offer my birthday, and sent a few pots of Junzi Orchid to you." β
