On an April afternoon, spring is shining.

After lunch, Zhen Xuan sat on the couch in the east room.

Sister Xi pouted and slept soundly next to her.

Afraid of making a noise to Sister Xi, the maids in the house didn't speak, and quietly accompanied Zhen Xuan to be a female celebrity.

Huai Xiang, who was guarding the door, saw that the Yun family had brought someone in from outside, so she hurriedly opened the curtain and poked inside, and called softly: "Sister Bangqin." ”

The room was quiet, although Huaixiang's voice was soft, and she heard it, she got up and went out to take a look, and came in lightly, and whispered to Zhen Xuan: "Grandma, the third grandmother is here." ”

When Zhen Xuan heard this, he turned his head to look out the window, and when he met the four eyes of the Yun family, the Yun family grinned.

Zhen Xuan smiled back, and told the nurse to take Sister Xi back to sleep in the west room, and then sat and waited for the Yun family to come in.

Yun is still newly married, wearing a red cardigan, she looks round, and the red lining is more and more pleasing. Yun saluted Zhen Xuan: "Second sister-in-law." ”

Zhen Xuan invited her to sit down, and saw the maid behind her holding two pieces of cloth in her hands, and couldn't help but take a second look.

Yun Shi grinned, pointed to the pearl exquisite eight treasure hairpin on his head and said: "The meeting gift that the second sister-in-law gave me a few days ago is really beautiful, I like it very much, I don't have anything else to do as a gift, just these two horses, if they can get into the eyes of the second sister-in-law, please accept it." ”

After Yun finished speaking, the maid behind him picked up the material and presented it to Zhen Xuan.

A rouge-colored silk and a lake-colored brocade, both the color and weaving skills are superior, and people like it at a glance.

Zhen Xuan stretched out her hand and rubbed the corner of the cloth, and it felt very good.

Look at the jacket material on Yun's body again. It is also a fine silk. Only then did Zhen Xuan remember that she had heard Yang mention it to her. The Yun family has made a fortune over the years by relying on the fabric business.

I don't know what way to go, the materials of the Yun family's shop are very good in both blanks and dyeing, unlike other cloth merchants, the Yun family is not biased at all, whether it is silk or silk or tulle, or even ordinary cotton fabric, they are all first-class goods.

The Yun family, who wanted to make a fortune with cloth, gave their daughter's dowry, and the most important thing was these good materials.

The Yun family sent it sincerely, if Zhen Xuan didn't accept it, it would hurt the concubine's harmony. She let Bang Qin take it, and thanked Yun Shi with a smile: "Three brothers and sisters, which woman is not impressed by these two horses?" I accepted it, this lake-colored brocade, the third sister likes this color, and asked me to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. ”

Yun Shi laughed: "Since the third sister likes the lake, the second sister-in-law can just send it." ”

Zhen Xuan instructed the piano: "Let someone send it to the third sister." ”

The piano responded, handed over the brocade to the painter, and asked her to deliver it herself.

Yun took a sip of tea, his dark eyes rolling. After carefully looking at the east room, he said with a smile: "The second sister-in-law's house is really full of good things. Is that a Western clock? It's the first time I've seen something like this. With that, she put down the teacup and got up and stood in front of the Western clock, looked at it carefully with wide eyes, and praised, "It's really interesting." ”

After reading the Western clock, I went to see the stubborn stone on the Bogu shelf, and said strangely: "This stone is interesting, it looks like a Buddha's hand." ”

Zhen Xuan didn't answer, and her gaze followed Yun's.

She thought of that Miss He, and she didn't know if the Yun clan would also have the idea of moving back after praising these things.

Yun Shi looked around, came back and sat down, stretched out her hand to taste a piece of pastry, her eyes lit up, and said, "The dim sum here is really delicious, second sister-in-law." ”

Zhen Xuan looked at her with a light smile, and asked tentatively: "I looked around just now, but what do you like?" Just talk to your second sister-in-law. ”

Yun Shi was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Bo Gujia again, and then shook his head: "Second sister-in-law, I like it very much, what is interesting is interesting, I just told the truth, I didn't want to ask you for something." ”

Zhen Xuan was surprised, but also a little clear.

On the day of her confession, she regarded the Yun family as a casual person, and the casual Yun family should not play those tricks, she just had a sentence to say.

Yun took another piece of pastry: "The second sister-in-law really wants to give it to me, just a snack, I'll take it back for the third master to taste." As for the good stuff, I'd like to see it next time. ”

Zhen Xuan agreed.

Yun asked about Sister Xi, knowing that Sister Xi was sleeping, she was a little disappointed: "I still want to hug her, I only glanced at it last time, and it was a little soft." ”

The two of them talked for a while, and when they came back from outside, they said: "The third lady likes the material very much, and she came over knowing that the third grandmother is here." ”

Xia Huqing stepped into the house lightly, first greeted the two sisters-in-law, thanked the material, and sat down on the side.

The three of them are of the same age, and they can't close the conversation when they open it, and they keep laughing.

Mother Chen heard the laughter when she came in, the joy was infectious, she came to report the good news again, and the smile on her face became bigger and bigger: "Tell the second grandmother the good news, the young master of the Zhou family cousin is in the second class of the fifteenth in high school, this time I want to return to my hometown." ”

"Where's the news?" Zhen Xuan asked.

"It's from Pei's house, it's true."

Seeing Zhen Xuan's eyebrows, Yun asked, "Second sister-in-law, who is the young master of the family this week?" ”

"It's my mother's aunt's nephew, who is engaged to my sixth sister, and will get married next month." Zhen Xuan explained.

Yun Shi blinked, clapped his hands and smiled: "So good? Isn't your sixth sister Mrs. Jinshi? It's really enviable. ”

Zhen Xuan propped her chin and laughed at Yun's family: "What do you envy, I'm not afraid that the third uncle will be unhappy." ”

"Why be upset?" Yun didn't understand, "I am naturally envious of others who are doing well, but envy is envy, and I am not jealous of others." Everyone has his own way, and I don't blush. Speaking of this, the Yun family turned his head to look at Xia Huqing and said, "I also envy the third sister, marrying the Marquis Mansion in Beijing, where can ordinary people climb it." I have a sister-in-law who is a grandmother of Houfu, and she is also very good. ”

Xia Huqing was a little embarrassed and shy when she was told about marriage, but when she heard Yun Shi say it at the end, she couldn't help laughing.

Zhen Xuan also smiled, Yun's temperament is pleasing among sisters and concubines, she yearns for beautiful things, but she doesn't look down on what others have, and she can find joy for herself, and it doesn't take any effort or effort to talk to her.

It's just that such a straightforward personality has to suffer a lot of grievances when facing critical elders.

In Pingcui Garden, others will not be embarrassed by the Yun family, after all, Aunt Zhou's identity is limited, at most she will say a few bad words, but on Mrs. He's side, because of Aunt Yun and Xia Suqing, she will not give the Yun family a good face.

Xia Huqing also thought so, she tentatively asked: "Is the third sister-in-law still used to entering the door these days?" ”

Yun Shi pouted when he heard this, his fingers stirred the handkerchief in his hand, and his face blushed slightly: "Everything else is fine, but I can't get up in the morning." ”

Can't get up?

Zhen Xuan looked at Xia Huqing, Xia Huqing was also puzzled, only to hear Yun Shi say again: "When I was at my mother's house, I got up at the hour and went to ask my mother for peace at five o'clock, but after I got married, I had to get up so early every day, and the third master woke up at two o'clock, and let me sleep until five o'clock at most, otherwise I wouldn't have time to freshen up and go to my grandmother's house." ”

Seeing Yun Shi wrenching his fingers while talking, Zhen Xuan and Xia Huqing couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at the Yun family, Zhen Xuan thought of the rumors on the day of the confession, she thought that the newlywed was too tired for the Yun family to get up, who knew that it was a habit brought from her mother's family, and she had to get up half an hour earlier than before, no wonder the Yun family couldn't adapt to it for a while.

"This can't save you, we all got up after a while." Xia Huqing said with a smile.

Zhen Xuan saw Yun's bitter face, and suddenly wanted to tease her: "There is a way, when your daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, you can sleep later." ”

I thought that the Yun family would blush, but who knew that she nodded solemnly, which made Xia Huqing laugh.

After gossiping for an afternoon, seeing that the time was almost up, Yun and Xia Huqing went back separately.

Zhen Xuan took out the half-beaten strings, and just after playing for a while, the piano came in from outside.

Bang Qin looked like she had something to say, and her heart was bright, so she turned around and went to the middle room to collect it.

Seeing that the piano was so cautious, Zhen Xuan put down the things in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Bang Qin walked to Zhen Xuan's side, leaned over and whispered, "It's Sui Yu next to the third grandmother." ”

"Which one?" Not long after the Yun clan entered the door, the people beside her, Zhen Xuan, couldn't tell the difference, "Is it the one who held the fabric just now?" ”

"It's her." Bang Qin nodded, and continued, "She knew that her grandmother's maiden family was surnamed Pei, and there was only one big family surnamed Pei in Yongzhou, so she asked the slave maid if she knew Ruan's mother, who was a nurse in Pei's family. ”

Nguyen's mother?

Zhen Xuan had some doubts when she first heard this title, but it was only for a moment, and she quickly remembered it.

In the past, Zhen Xun's nurse was surnamed Ruan, and that year she took Zhen Xun and Zhen Heng to play, but I don't know why she suddenly disappeared, causing Zhen Heng to break her head, and Zhen Xun became lame.

Zhou turned Pei's house inside and out, and finally found Ruan's mother who hanged herself in the Qinghe Hall, which had not yet been repaired.

Why Ruan's mother left and why she committed suicide, no one can understand, and in the end, it all comes down to the anger of the deceased old lady Bao.

Zhen Xuan didn't dare to assert anything, but remembered that Mother Lu said that Ruan's mother had a pair of children raised in a relative's house, and she shouldn't kill herself for the sake of the children, but so many years have passed, and no one has ever investigated the truth that could not be found at that time.

Zhen Xuan had even forgotten about Ruan's mother, and now, the maid beside the Yun family actually asked about her.

"How did you answer her?" Zhen Xuan asked Wan Qin.

Bang Qin lowered her hand and whispered: "I don't know where she came from, I don't dare to tell her about Ruan's mother directly, the slave only told her that she knows that there is Ruan's mother, but she is not in the same room with us, and she is not familiar with her." ”

"Suiyu, she ......" Zhen Xuan hesitated to speak, "How old?" ”

"Fourteen or fifteen years old."

Zhen Xuan frowned: "I vaguely remember that Mother Lu said that Mother Ruan's daughter was six years old and her son was four years old, which was exactly one year old from her younger brother, so that daughter would be fourteen years old this year." ”

Could it be that this Suiyu is Ruan's mother's daughter? (To be continued......)
