Aunt Chen hurriedly knelt down: "The second grandmother really doesn't dare to accept the little one, the whole family of the little one lives on this, but it was a little more delay to the third grandmother, and it was too late, but I didn't dare to snub the second grandmother!" ”

"Hey, Aunt Chen, you get up, you also know, I speak straight, even the people around me are like this, if you don't listen to the words, I hope you will be more responsible!" Seeing Aunt Chen kneeling, Zhou deliberately pretended to be surprised and pulled Aunt Chen up.

Aunt Chen was pulled up and only nodded respectfully: "Yes, the second grandmother suffers from her temper, and the whole family knows it!" Zhou covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "I often blame myself, if I can not talk like my sister-in-law, at most I won't like my uncle." But this mouth, whatever comes to mind, has offended countless people! ”

Zhou's is so pretentious, Aunt Chen can only be silent, and after Zhou finishes speaking, Aunt Chen comes forward to comb her hair, and it takes more than half an hour to comb Zhou's hairstyle.

Zhou took the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. Aunt Chen's heart was put down, and she took the reward to retire, and when she walked out of Zhou's yard, Aunt Chen sighed lightly, when will the master inherit this business, otherwise it will be really difficult for the next person to do it.

When Aunt Chen left, the maid said softly: "Grandma, Aunt Chen is Uncle Chen's wife, even in front of the master, there is a bit of face, you are like that, you can ......" Zhou only felt that this hairstyle was 120,000 beautiful, and took it in the mirror before saying: "What are you afraid of, that's what you want, you know, I'm a famous straight man who loves to talk, even if my words offend people, it's just unintentional!" ”

If it is really such a thoughtful person, it is not about oneself and does not speak, and some things are difficult to say. Zhou put down the mirror and sighed: "Every time there is a banquet the next day, I can't sleep well!" Afraid that the hair would be messed up, so you should sleep carefully, the maid hurriedly came forward to serve Zhou's rest, and covered Zhou's hair with a hand towel, so as not to mess up her hair when she tossed and turned on the pillow, so she asked: "But the second master hasn't come back yet!" ”

"He doesn't have to go into the room tonight, you let him go to the study to sleep!" Zhou's words made the maid feel hopeful, and then Zhou said slowly: "You know my temper!" This sentence made the maid's hope disappear immediately, and she hurriedly bowed her head, and Zhou yawned, turned over and fell asleep, Ming'er's matter is the most important thing.

Yanran got up early in the morning, Qiulan followed Aunt Chen's instructions yesterday, and used a swipe to swipe up Yanran's sideburns slightly messy, and then reinserted a hosta, and then said with a smile: "If it's true, Aunt Chen said, this hair, I slept all night, and the sideburns were slightly messy and looked better than yesterday's new comb, I thought she was talking nonsense, but when I looked at it today, I knew that Jiang was still old and spicy." ”

Yanran took the snail Dai and gently drew it on her eyebrows, and when she heard Qiulan's words, she smiled and said: "If you are willing, you can go and learn this craft from Aunt Chen, and if you have a craft, you will have a better life in the future!" ”

When Qiulan heard this, she was first very surprised, and then said, "But I still have to serve my grandmother on weekdays!" Yan Ran smiled again: "This, the main thing is to look at the understanding, wait for Aunt Chen to come in and comb my hair later, you can take a look at it on the side, and then ask her when you are free, the combing craft you have learned, isn't it better to serve me?" ”

Qiulan became more and more happy, and saluted Yanran: "Since grandma said this, then I will listen!" Yanran looked at the joy on her face, somehow touched the past, and only smiled faintly.

Although Aunt Zhu arranged this banquet and asked people to invite guests, when the banquet was in full swing, she still couldn't come out, so she could only wait inside to see if there was anything missing. The guests were greeted by the three Qiu family concubines and Rong Yuzhi.

According to Yanran, she doesn't talk much, she is gentle and gentle in everything, and she is often teased by Zhou's as if she looks at the dough, but Zhou's is afraid that she is not like she said, she is a person who can't hide things in her stomach, otherwise, she will never hear a word of important things from her mouth.

Yan Ran felt that Rong Yuzhi was indifferent to everyone in private, as if she couldn't lift her spirits in anything. This made Yan Ran believe more and more that Rong Yuzhi was only afraid of some troubles, but Yan Ran and Rong Yuzhi were slightly better than strangers, so they naturally wouldn't ask each other.

At this time, on the banquet, everyone sat separately, Zhou was talking to a grandmother Yu, laughter was heard from time to time, Qiu and the people next to him had nothing to say, but occasionally asked someone to pour food and wine. Rong Yuzhi is a woman in the boudoir, so she is naturally alone with the girls behind the screen.

Today's banquet is mainly set up for Yan Ran, so Yan Ran sat down as the chairman, the position on the left hand next to her was vacant, and on the right was the young grandmother of the Song family who was in Yangzhou City, and Yanyun Yamen could talk, she was only in her early twenties this year, I heard that my father was still a Hanlin, knowledgeable, and Yan Ran, you asked me to answer, and listened to Yan Ran say some things in the capital. Occasionally, this Grandma Song smiled lightly and said that she had not heard of this.

Today's banquet, the post was also sent to the prefect's yamen and the salt transport yamen, but both of them said that they were not available to come, so they only gave a gift. This is already a great face for the Rong family. As for the position on the left, it is naturally reserved for Zeng Zhixian, the general judge grandmother who promised to come. In addition, the only official family who came today was Mrs. Liu, the county magistrate, who was sitting opposite Yanran.

Seeing Grandma Song and Yanran talking, Mrs. Liu occasionally interjected two sentences, she is from Fujian, although she also learned to speak official after following her husband to take office, but she always had an accent and asked a question, it would take a long time to reflect what she was talking about. But she can't be lazy, Yanran can only smile from time to time.

Zhou talked happily to people, but his eyes looked at Yan Ran, and the smile on his lips deepened, when your old master came, look at how you can still smile. Thinking about it, Zhou said to the people around him: "The materials in Yangzhou City have not been good recently, Grandma Yu, you look at it very differently today!" ”

"This is a new brocade from Suzhou, there are only a few horses in this pattern, I dare to say, in this Yangzhou city, only I have this color." When Grandma Yu saw Zhou's praise, she naturally said proudly. Zhou's oh, Grandma Yu still wants to show off again, and the mother-in-law has already walked in front of Yanran: "Third grandma, Grandma Shi from the Tongju Mansion is here." ”

This is today's guest of honor, Yan Ran hurriedly got up to greet her, and Grandma Song and Mrs. Liu also followed her out. The others didn't move, and the smile on Zhou's lips didn't change, and he could watch the show later.

Yan Ran hurriedly walked out, the footsteps carried the eagerness that Yan Ran herself didn't expect, she hadn't seen her for nearly two years, Yan Ran found that she still missed Zeng Zhixian very much, although she was a master and servant, but in some places, after being with her for a long time, it was not the same as before.

Zeng Zhixian was accompanied by the housekeeper and waited there, seeing Yanran's almost galloping posture, Zeng Zhixian couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, Yanran had already walked in front of her, habitually kneeling, Zeng Zhixian had already stretched out his hand: "Grandma Rongsan, I haven't seen you for a long time, congratulations!" ”

This sentence is almost meaningful, Yan Ran reacted immediately, and took the opportunity to say a blessing to Zeng Zhixian: "Grandma Shi is healthy, look at this, after we separate, you are doing well!" "If you want to talk about food and clothing, after marrying Shi An, Zeng Zhixian is not as good as being in the Hou Mansion, especially after coming to Yangzhou to take office, there are still so many bosses on his head, and many of them are not very good.

Zeng Zhixian's dress today is not as gorgeous as when he was in the boudoir in the past, although the materials are all good, but the embroidery has been much less, and the use of dull threads is more. The jewelry is only the original ones, but the biggest difference from when he was in the Hou Mansion is that Zeng Zhixian's smile on his face is compared to the original, which is called a sincere and happy mood.

"If you want to talk about anything else, I don't dare to compare with Grandma Rongsan." Zeng Zhixian also looked at Yan Ran's face, and saw that she was wearing a newly cut shirt, the ruby on her hair was shining in the sun, and the jade bracelet on her wrist was also moist. Zeng Zhixian was also happy for Yanran, and joked with a smile.

"The eldest lady is laughing at me!" This joke is rare for Zeng Zhixian, Yanran couldn't help but change the old title, Zeng Zhixian smiled again: "What is making fun of you?" Your heart, I understand, I see that you are doing well, and I am relieved. This is a pun, Yanran asked Zeng Zhixian to go inside, and followed Grandma Song and Mrs. Liu, who went out to greet them, looked a little surprised, the relatives married by the Rong family have long been rumored to be the maids of a large family married in the capital.

At that time, he was still talking behind his back, saying what Rong Qi thought, a maid, even if she was born in a big family, she was still a maid after all, and she felt that she liked it, and she could be a concubine, how could she marry three media and six to come back to be the main room, not only did Master Rong not object, but when he returned to Yangzhou, he also put on a banquet for her, indicating that her identity could not be changed. Seeing Yanran at the banquet today, Grandma Song felt that Yanran's behavior was generous, not like a maid, and she wondered if someone had passed it on wrongly, and passed it back as a maid.

When they saw Yanran and Zeng Zhixian talking, the two of them were clearly old acquaintances, and they were even more surprised, seeing the two of them walking inside, Grandma Song opened her mouth and asked: "It turns out that Grandma Shi and Grandma Rong San are old acquaintances!" ”

"Not only am I and Grandma Rong San old acquaintances, but even Rong San Ye and my family are also old acquaintances!" Zeng Zhixian came to the Rong family today to support Yanran, after all, there will not be only one or two people who want to talk about Yanran's identity. Therefore, Zeng Zhixian replied vaguely.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of knowing when Grandma Shi got acquainted?" Everyone has curiosity, even Mrs. Liu, who is afraid to speak because her official language is not too good, can't help but ask.

The author has something to say: I said earlier, Zeng Zhixian is a very important female partner!
