When the four girls arrived at Lujingzhai, Yunshan Mist Cover Balabala said a lot, and praised Yulan including her small courtyard from the inside out, and finally turned to the topic: "Seventh sister, I came to you today because I want to ask you for something!" ”

After this period of contact, Yulan has generally known the women in the Yang Mansion, the fourth sister is kind on the surface, but in fact, her temperament is a little gloomy, so Yulan has always held a respectful attitude, and the relationship with Yufei is far better than that of Yuqing.

Hearing this, Yulan couldn't help but smile and said, "Between our sisters, what else do you want or not?" What's the matter, sister, but it's okay for you to say! ”

Yu Fei raised her eyes and looked at the room serving Mother Qian and Xiaoyu Xiaoyue, how clever Xiaoyu was, she immediately understood what Yu Fei meant, quietly pulled Xiaoyue's sleeve, and gave Mother Qian a look, and the three of them quietly retreated. He closed the door again.

Yufei took a sip of tea, raised his head and looked at Yulan and said, "Seventh sister, I shouldn't have told you about this matter, but I really had no way to ask for help, so I had to find you......"

Yulan gently flicked the tea leaves in the bowl with the lid of the bowl, and listened to Yufei silently.

Yu Fei smiled bitterly and said, "...... My sister and I will be sixteen years old soon, but there is not even a shadow of the current marriage...... I think it's because my wife has a lot of things, and I forgot about ......it for a while" Yufei's face was extremely bitter: "I put this face out of my way today, and I'm not afraid that my sister will laugh at me...... This should not have been said by me, but I am a miserable life, my aunt is not a problem, the eldest lady can't speak, I am a black eye in this house, no one can count on it, think about it, only my sister is kind, I have the cheekiness to beg my sister......"

Yulan's heart is like a mirror. The life expectancy of ancient people was much shorter than that of modern people, and the age of marriage was much earlier. However, according to Da Chu etiquette, marriage pays attention to the order of parents, and the girl's family has absolutely no room for interference.

It can be seen that the four girls are really sick and rushed to the doctor.

Yulan said with an embarrassed face: "Fourth sister, it's not that I don't want to take care of this matter, but my sister's marriage should be decided by my mother, and even my father can't interfere too much, how can we be juniors casually?" ”

Yufei hurriedly said: "I don't want you to go and tell your wife, now your old lady is becoming more and more powerful, as long as you are willing to open your mouth to say a few words for me, I think the old lady will not care!" ”

"This ......" Yulan showed a deep expression, "It's not appropriate for me to say this kind of thing in front of an old lady of a girl's family......"

Yufei stood up from the chair suddenly, knelt down in front of Yulan with a puff, and said with tears like rain: "Good sister, even if my sister begs you this time, look at our sister's love, you have to help my sister no matter what, I will never forget my sister for the rest of my life!" ”

"Sister, what are you doing!" Yulan hurriedly took two steps to pull Yufei up: "I'll give it a try, I don't dare to give you a guarantee if it works!" In fact, Yulan didn't have a cold heart to that extent, but she just agreed casually, which made Yufei feel that this favor didn't take much effort for her, and Yufei probably didn't know how to be grateful. After such a contrived effort, whether it is successful or not, Yufei will always have to accept her affection.

If she begged her as a ninth girl, Yulan would never play so much with her, but the more this fourth sister came into contact, the more gloomy it became, Yulan had to make a fuss, otherwise she would find herself as soon as she saw that she was a bun in the future, and she would not help her when she arrived?

Yulan pulled Yufei and sat down again. The two sisters talked for a while, and Yufei said a car of thanks, and then left Lu Jingzhai.

Sending Yufei away, Yulan thought about it for a long time, relying on the dignity of the old lady in front of her, saying a few words would not hinder anything. After all, it's a sister, so help her if you can. It's really hard to see how she's living.

Thinking about it this way, and seeing the old lady again, Yulan tried to guide the topic in this direction. "Grandmother, you taste this orange, it's so sweet, the second sister asked someone to send it. I heard the orange mother-in-law say, this is Ding Shilang, a Guangdong protégé of filial piety to the teacher, Ding Shilang gave the second brother-in-law a basket, and the second sister called someone to honor your old man. Yulan peeled an orange and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady took it and said with a smile: "The second girl has always been filial, it's rare that she still remembers my old wife, who always sends things here every once in a while!" ”

Yulan said: "The second sister is filial, and the second brother-in-law is not bad!" If you want me to say, the second aunt really picked a good family for the second sister, the second brother-in-law is young and promising, and he has a good character, which is really rare among people. ”

The old lady nodded again and again, Ding Zhao had a reputation in less than twenty, and he was also self-motivated, and the woman was also more self-controlled, and the old lady was more satisfied with him the more she looked at him.

"The second sister is so good to marry, it's the turn of the fourth sister next......" Yulan smiled: "I just don't know what kind of in-law Mrs. Lu Dao can find for the fourth sister." ”

The old lady glanced at Yulan meaningfully, and Yulan immediately lowered her head weakly. has been in contact with the old lady for so long, and her temperament has long been almost touched. In front of a smart person like her, she only needs to stop talking at the right time.

When Su's mother sent Yulan away and returned to the small Buddha hall, the old lady was still flipping through a Buddhist scripture in front of the Guanyin statue. Su's mother helped the old lady to sit on the rosewood chair next to her. The old lady rubbed her temples and said, "This girl is really trying to take care of everything!" ”

Su's mother said: "The seventh girl is also kind! ”

The old lady snorted and said: "I know that the eldest daughter-in-law is careful about it, the marriage of the four girls was originally her business, and I don't want to worry about it, but now it seems that she has indeed gone too far, and I am afraid that it will not work if I don't remind her of two sentences." Recently, a series of things have happened, and she is becoming more and more unkind to the eldest wife.

Su's mother nodded in agreement.

On the second day, the eldest lady brought a group of children to say goodbye, and the women chatted a few words of homely things, and the old lady suddenly asked Yufei: "The fourth girl is also 15 years old this year, right?" ”

"My granddaughter will be 16 in a few months." Yufei replied respectfully.

The old lady nodded and said slowly: "The fourth girl is not too young, and the marriage should be opened." ”

The eldest lady hurriedly said, "Mother said yes." The daughter-in-law has been busy with Brother Zong'er and Brother Ye'er's entry into the country to study, and she has not had time to do this, but her mother is worried. ”

The old lady glanced at her lightly: "Look at you are really busy these days, thousands of things inside and outside the house are all on your shoulders, if you are really busy, I will ask the second daughter-in-law to help you, she is a sister-in-law, and it is reasonable to give her niece Zhang Luo's family business!" ”

The second lady immediately smiled and said: "If the old lady can trust me, I will definitely help the fourth girl find a suitable family, and marry in a beautiful way!" ”

The eldest lady's face changed immediately. She is Yufei's mother-in-law, if she can't even be the master of the marriage of the big housemaid, then what face does she, the housewife, have, and how to raise her head in the future. So he immediately retorted: "Second aunt, where did you come from, for the second girl's marriage, you are already busy enough, you can rest." The fourth girl is our big house, and her marriage has her own big house. Mother, do you say? ”

The old lady said, "Then it's up to you to do it for the time being!" The meaning of the words is that once the eldest wife is not satisfied, she will immediately change the general and replace the second wife.

The eldest lady's face couldn't help but be very ugly.

Everyone left the Songhe Hall and dispersed. Yulan was about to go back to Lujingzhai when she saw Yufei leading the girl over, and said in a low voice: "Seventh sister, thank you!" ”

Yulan smiled and said, "I didn't do anything!" Sister, you are so ready to get married, your good life is still ahead! ”

Yufei held her hand, "Your kindness to my sister, my sister will never forget!" ”

was beaten by the old lady, and the eldest lady finally put Yufei's marriage on the agenda. The eldest lady has never been very kind to a few concubines, and Yufei's character is not very good, so she wants to find a mother-in-law to marry her casually, which is also a matter of concern. It's just that no matter how you say it, Yufei is also the granddaughter of the first assistant of the dynasty, if she marries too low, won't she lose the face of Mrs. Yang.

The eldest lady took the trouble to find that it was really not so easy to find a suitable person to marry Yufei. It's really a response to that sentence, high is not low, not low.

The eldest lady had to ask someone to make clothes and jewelry for Yufei, and took Yufei to participate in various noble ladies in the capital to hold parties every once in a while, this kind of social entertainment has a long history, on the one hand, the officials deepened the relationship bond through the women of the house, and the main thing was to choose the future other half for the school-age children in the family.

Another situation on the blind date conference.

After all, it is her own mother, and the eldest lady did not forget to take Yuxin out to see the world. In this way, it was a little inappropriate to skip the seventh girl Yulan, and then I had to take the three sisters out of the river together.

Yulan shuttles through various banquets with a smiling face every day, and her face stiffens with a smile. Anyway, it's not her who is the main person on the blind date, and she is also relaxed. With her social skills, she met some noble girls and made a few friends.

It's summer, the hot time of the year. The marriage of the four girls still has no eyebrows, and the old lady urged it several times, but this kind of thing is in a hurry. There are only a few families in the capital and the Xiangfu, who has a son, whose son looks like, in fact, most of the mothers of the high-ranking families have a spectrum, and the status of the Xiangfu is about the same, and it is impossible for a son-in-law to marry Yufei, who is not a good wife. The eldest lady can only make up her mind with the concubine of the sixth department of the Prince's Mansion.

Yufei went to Lu Jingzhai every once in a while to complain, not that she and Yulan were close to that extent, just because the popularity of the fourth girl was really not very good, and she really had no one to talk to except Yulan.

It's June 13, and the fifth master's birthday has arrived.
