Chapter 32: Kissing
Zhou Baolu still doesn't know these things, the thirteen-year-old days are the time to be carefree, and there is an extra girl in the yard who can make a good medicinal diet and add medicine bags to the bath water or foot soaking water, which is just a small thing for her.
It was already out of the New Year, and the weather was still cold, but she had already taken off her long jacket and put on a short jacket, with a circle of wind hair on the ingots, lined with the snow-white and pink little face, very decent and noble.
Zhou Baolu is combining incense, this is the practice of the daughter in the boudoir, the spices are combined with different fragrances according to different recipes, and the various seasons are different.
Zhou Baolu divided seven or eight portions, each of which was packed in a small porcelain bottle with gold and red plum and white ground, and sent the maid to a few young ladies who were good friends.
Then he found a black lacquered wooden box with a gilded eight-treasure lotus, filled a box of incense, and put it on the windowsill with a smile.
That's a good friend, too!
I don't know how he's doing.
When she was in a daze, Sakura ran in: "Miss, the old lady from the uncle's mansion is here, and the seventh aunt and Mrs. Seventh have just entered the lady's room at this time." ”
Zhou Baolu is annoying to the old lady, although other people's families have a lot of things, they haven't torn their faces yet, their family has long been famous in the imperial capital, who doesn't know the way? They have always looked down on the Chen family, why did they come to the door every year?
There must be something!
Zhou Baolu was very worried about Chen, got off the kang and put on her shoes, and was about to rush to the main room to support her mother, Sakura said, "Miss will go like this?" Let's change your clothes first. ”
Zhou Baolu said: "What to change, those people are still worthy of me to change clothes?" Let's go quickly, don't let them eat my mother." ”
Sakura burst out laughing, in exchange for Zhou Baolu's eyes, she smiled busily, and followed Zhou Baolu to the upper room.
In the upper room sat Wu'anhou's wife Yang and her biological daughter, the seventh aunt of the Chen family, who married into the long house of Dongwanghou Mansion, and was also a big family.
The Chen family was originally the most polite and face-saving person, even if she knew that Mrs. Yang and her family were not dealing with her own brother, Chen Xihua, the prince of Wu'an, she couldn't help but often persuade Chen Xihua, for the sake of a decent reputation and the face of the family, endure and put her hands away. In the end, you can't write two Chen characters in one stroke, and when you say it outside, it's all the Chen family, and whoever wins and who loses is not a shameful thing.
These, Mrs. Yang knows very well, Chen Xihua and other people don't buy her account, but they are perfunctory on the face, only the Chen family is easy to handle, because there is something to do, she often comes to look for the Chen family, and returns to the meaning of those words, anyway, Chen is the eldest aunt and wife in the family, and the brothers and sisters should have taken care of her more, and if there is something, she also wants her to speak, that is, the parents are in front of them, and naturally they also expect the eldest son and eldest daughter to share their worries.
Of course, if there is something beneficial, it will not be Chen's turn.
Chen was working with Aunt Gu to make needlework for Zhou Jilin, and when he saw his stepmother and sister coming to the door, he welcomed him in and sat down, and instructed the maid: "Send someone back to the princess, my mother's mother and sister are here, if the princess is free, I will accompany her to say goodbye to the princess." ”
Mrs. Yang listened and said: "There is no need to stir up the crowd like this, we are just idle for a while, and we will not sit for long to come and see you, and it will not be good to alarm the princess." ”
Chen was originally a person who didn't have any ideas, and was about to nod, when Aunt Gu, who was standing on the side, smiled at her and said: "The old lady is so easy to come back, so polite, the lady is more and more polite, and her family is naturally casual, but the princess is the most polite, if she only knows that the old lady is here, she hasn't seen it, I'm afraid I won't like it." ”
So saying, he commanded the maid, "Go quickly, what do you do while standing." ”
Chen Qi frowned and said, "Big sister, what's going on here, let's talk, an aunt will also interject, here is a place for you to speak?" If you don't understand the rules, you should slap your mouth, and you shouldn't get out of the way soon! ”
Aunt Gu has a good temper, she doesn't say a word, she just laughs, she doesn't move when she stands in front of the kang, Chen Qi said these words vigorously, and the total was like hitting a ball of cotton, and there was no movement at all.
The Chen family was originally like a bodhisattva, so naturally he didn't speak, Chen Qi really had no choice.
Mrs. Yang gave Chen Qi a look, signaling not to dwell on this matter anymore, and when she turned around and the princess was summoned, it was inconvenient to speak, so Mrs. Yang said, "What about Sister Lu?" Not at home? ”
Chen Qi smiled and said: "It doesn't look like it's here, I want to, I heard that my mother is here with me, why do you have to come to ask for peace, big sister, didn't I say it, Sister Lu is really wild, big sister can't control it?" ”
Chen was a little dazed by such a sudden question, and Mrs. Yang continued: "Alas, Sister Lu is so old, how can I get it like this, I have all these grandchildren, grandchildren, and granddaughters, and Sister Lu is the most worrying, although there are children who are naughty, but in the end, there are many brothers, and the girl's family is so rare, it is really worrying!" ”
Chen really didn't react, Aunt Gu already felt that something was wrong, frowned slightly, and gave the maid at the door a look, the maid withdrew lightly, and went to find Zhou Baolu in a hurry.
Here, Chen Qi immediately said again: "Yes, my mother just loves to worry, my son and daughter are done worrying, and I am thinking about my grandchildren again, when I think of Sister Lu's temperament, I am so anxious that I often can't sleep, I am afraid that this will get bigger and bigger, and the girl's reputation will become worse and worse. ”
Chen had expressed this concern, and Mrs. Yang and Chen Qi both knew that at this time, as soon as they sang and said, they had to say this truth and provoke Chen's worries.
Chen couldn't interject for a while, but she remembered what Zhou Baolu had said to her: Mother, think about it, when Brother An was just born, her grandmother wanted to take Brother An to raise, what did she say, which sentence was not just to look at Brother An, but as a result, Brother An almost died. She kept saying that she had wronged her daughter, but as a result, what is the dowry of the fourth aunt and the seventh aunt compared to you? Mother, you remember, as long as she thinks about being good, she wants people to be bad, and she says that she is wronged, but in fact, they are all good, you just have to listen to it in turn.
Zhou Baolu read this in her ear about twenty times, and after picking up Aunt Gu, she read it ten more times, and these ten times, Aunt Gu also helped on the side: "Miss is right, Miss has read books, and she sees things thoroughly!" ”
The so-called three people become tigers, plus the various benefits of looking back on the aunt, are really tangible, more and more powerful evidence, Chen slowly has a deep impression in his heart, at this time listening to Mrs. Yang and Chen Qi's worries, she unconsciously listened to the opposite: Our Xiaolu is really a good one!
It's just that Chen has never lacked action, and he is slower than people to speak, Mrs. Yang and Chen Qi spoke sentence by sentence, and Chen didn't have time to say it even if he wanted to show his attitude, just listened blankly.
Mrs. Yang said: "Sister Lu is only afraid that it will be difficult to pick her uncle!" ”
Chan thought: It's not difficult to think about it.
Chen Qi said: "You don't have to think about it, it's better to pick a slightly worse one in the family, the mother-in-law is generous, that is, the daughter-in-law has poor rules, and it is not easy to find fault with the daughter-in-law." ”
Chen thought: Well, our Xiaolu has to marry better.
Mrs. Yang said: "Sister Lu's appearance is also ordinary, and if she wants to marry a high-ranking child, I'm afraid that people won't look down on her." ”
Chen: My Lu'er is good-looking.
The topic gradually deepened when the two of them sang and harmonized, and one person was thinking about it blankly.
Zhou Baolu hadn't walked to the door of the upper room yet, and the girl sent by Aunt Gu bumped into Zhou Baolu on the road, and she didn't dare to delay, so she walked all the way and said everything that Mrs. Yang and Chen Qi said.
Zhou Baolu knows the truth, these people have never looked down on their uncles and aunts from beginning to end, and they are even more so, Chen Qi is in front of himself
's own face has said that she is under the fence, Zhou Baolu should not understand, and she doesn't eat and use her, what does it have to do with her?
Zhou Baolu walked to the door, only heard the voices of Mrs. Yang and Chen Qi, and did not have Chen's answer, her heart moved, so she stopped and listened at the door.
Even if her mother is still like that, she can at least find Brother An and ask for a tiger, right?
The house said that there was also a stick of incense, Mrs. Yang and Chen Qi both felt that it was almost time for the fire, exchanged a look with each other, Chen Qi said: "We have been worried about these days, we have taken this matter to heart, my mother no matter where she goes, she asks where there is a suitable person, and always tells me to pay attention, and now I have chosen a good family, the youngest son of our third uncle, fifteen years old this year, looks handsome, and knows that Lu is progressive, several brothers have married daughters-in-law, my third sister-in-law is a generous, and loves the younger son, Naturally, I love my little daughter-in-law, and when Sister Lu gets married, the third sister-in-law has a few concubines to serve, where is Sister Lu still used? Sister Lu is ready to be a young grandmother, and she doesn't have to do anything, wouldn't it be good? And marry my nephew, and I will take care of it in the future, and my aunt will be my aunt, where can I make Sister Lu suffer a little loss? ”
Because the Chen family had few days in the imperial capital, he didn't know much about the portals of each family, so he asked: "Seventh sister, your third uncle's family?" Separated? Your third uncle was raised by your mother-in-law, isn't it? Seventh sister, don't laugh, I'm not in good health, I don't move around much on weekdays, I don't know much. ”
Mrs. Yang said: "Although it was not raised by Mrs. Hou, it was also raised in front of Mrs. Hou since childhood, and it is the same as that raised by Mrs. Hou, and in this way, her third sister-in-law is naturally more and more difficult to find fault with Sister Lu, you know the way, your mother-in-law is from a poor background, so she is naturally better to serve, just like your family, it is naturally not easy to serve the princess, right?" ”
Chen Qi also said: "Our family is also one of the few families in the imperial capital, and the eldest sister wants to know the Tao of Lu, so naturally she will not insult Sister Lu." ”
Chen suddenly shook his hand: "Is it your third uncle?" It's your room, isn't it? The brother-in-law of the seventh aunt? As soon as you say this, I know that I know that this is not possible, I know that your stall is not in the way, the family has not entered, and even the sister-in-law has not found a good messenger, not to mention that your third uncle is still raised by his aunt, and naturally there is no more, such a big family, dozens of people, are counting on the daughter-in-law's dowry to fill, the seventh sister, your dowry is thick, and there is a mother to make up for it, if you can fill it, our family Luer is not successful! And no matter what, this is too low, how can it be worthy of our Lu'er. ”
Chen Qi's face turned blue suddenly, but Chen couldn't see it at all, but he just said again: "Your third uncle is still a concubine, this is a big difference, not to mention that it was raised by your mother-in-law, even if you were raised by your grandmother-in-law, you are still a concubine!" I remember that the seventh brother-in-law was raised by your mother-in-law, and she married the seventh sister when she was a serious son-in-law, and she married the seventh sister, speaking of which, although the seventh sister is our daughter-in-law, but the mother is filling the house, there is always a little worse, seriously compare, the seventh sister is not as good as our family Luer, her father is the princess's own child, and her father and I are also married, how to say that it is also the original match......"
Even Mrs. Yang's face turned blue.
Zhou Baolu stood at the door and didn't come in, almost didn't laugh out loud when she listened.
This honest man is honest, and it really hurts to slap his face.
