Chapter 156: Flower Dynasty (5)
An hour late, sorry-
The sisters put their minds back to the picture of many sons and many blessings, and carefully discussed the size and pattern, they did not have much time, and they were afraid that they would not be able to catch up if it was too complicated, so they tried to choose a little more joyful and not too time-consuming.
Before dinner, a result was finally discussed, Zhen Qiong was anxious to go back and paint, and the rest continued to discuss the stitches everywhere.
Mrs. Ma was so happy that she asked the kitchen to cook more dishes, left them to eat together, and asked them to go to each room to deliver a message.
It was already five days after Zhenqiong finished drawing the drawings, and she had been in a hurry for a few nights, and her spirit was not very good, so she only said that she didn't dare to delay the work of her sisters.
The extension was done by Zhen Xuan and Zhen Lin, and the two of them were gossiping while expanding.
"The day before, a few magpies suddenly flew in the Qingrong Hall, and they chirped all morning."
Zhen Xuan listened and said curiously: "Who called it outside the house?" ”
Zhen Lin pursed her lips: "Those who call everywhere, stop for a while in the east and stop for a while in the west, so I don't know if the road is accurate." ”
When Mrs. Ma heard it, she raised her voice and said, "Accurate, why is it not allowed." ”
Who dared to say that the old lady said no, the mother-in-law and maid in the house echoed for a while, and it was really like a happy event came to the door.
Jinhong went out to add some tea, and when she came in, she was full of smiles and said, "What the old lady said is accurate." Just came to the door to report, saying that an official media came to the door, or from Beijing. The dress is different from our Yongzhou. ”
Mrs. Ma said "oh", sat on her lap and waited for the news, which was about two quarters of an hour, and Zhou led the official media to come.
The official media from Beijing is complete. said that her surname was Zhang, and she was a well-known official media in Beijing, and many marriages of high-ranking officials and nobles depended on her matchmaker. As soon as he sat down, he amused the old lady in a few words.
Mrs. Zhang was upright, slightly chubby, and looked beaming: "These two young ladies are really ingenious, this is not a picture of many sons and many blessings, the painting is really good, and the embroidery must be beautiful." ”
Mama Dai hurriedly said: "It's our second lady who is going out of the cabinet, and a few young ladies are adding makeup to her." ”
"It's a great joy." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile. "Good things have to come in pairs, and I'm also here to say happy things, saying goodbye to the third lady."
Before Mrs. Ma could say anything, Zhen Ying had already opened the curtain and came in.
When she was resting in the house, she heard that some official media came from Beijing, and after thinking about it repeatedly, she felt that it was inseparable from You's family. I couldn't sit still, so I came in a hurry.
Zhen Ying glanced at Mrs. Zhang and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Ma.
"The three girls are here?" Mrs. Ma beckoned Zhenying to sit down beside her, and said to the matchmaker, "Tell me, are you going to say goodbye to someone's boy." ”
Mrs. Zhang's eyes rolled, Zhen Ying is indeed beautiful, such a look is popular in the capital, and she is from a good family. She squinted and smiled: "It's the nephew of the deputy envoy of the General Administration, and he is sixteen this year, and he has never said kiss." ”
Zhen Ying was uncomfortable when she was looked at by Mrs. Zhang, and her mouth became mean: "You haven't said kiss yet?" Don't you can't say it, right? ”
"Look at what Miss said." Mrs. Zhang was busy smiling, "That one is also clean and well-behaved." How can you not say it? ”
Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan couldn't interject when they spoke, they only whispered together.
"This official media should have been invited by the third aunt, right?"
Zhen Lin secretly glanced at Mrs. Zhang's side: "If it is the third uncle, this thing can't be done." ”
Zhen Xuan also agrees with this, Zhen Ying's dislike for You Shi is not an overnight thing, and she doesn't like anything that is linked to You Shi.
What else did Zhen Ying have to say, but Mrs. Ma patted her hand and told her to calm down for a while, and then said slowly and carefully: "Since you are a good boy, why didn't you say goodbye in Beijing, but let you go all the way to Yongzhou." ”
Mrs. Zhang rubbed her hands and smiled even more: "There are many good people in Beijing, and the third lady used to live in Beijing, and she has an outstanding reputation among the young ladies in Beijing. The Pei family is a big family, the brothers and sisters are harmonious, and the sisters marry and the sisters help add makeup, and many families can't compare. The wife of the deputy envoy also heard that the third lady was talented and good-looking, so she asked me to come from Beijing to show her sincerity. ”
"Even so, then I'll go back and ask my son and daughter-in-law." Mrs. Ma sighed, "The girl is not staying, I want to stay for a few more years, but I am afraid that the girl will be delayed." But I have lived in Yongzhou for a long time, and I don't know what the behavior of the nephew of the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department is, so I still have to inquire. ”
Seeing that there were some eyebrows in this matter, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old lady, if it's not good, how can I be embarrassed to say this matchmaker." Before I came, I went to Pei Zhongshu's house to visit the mother of the third lady, and she had several contacts with the deputy envoy's wife, but the old lady was in charge of everything. ”
"I'll just say she's doing it." Zhen Ying snorted, glared at Mrs. Zhang and said, "You are wrong, that is not my mother, my mother has passed away a long time ago." She really can't make decisions for me, let her worry less about this idleness, and go to rest at the same time. I have the heart to think about these things about me, let her ponder and ponder her own belly, and she didn't move at all and stopped her father from taking a concubine, she also has that face! ”
Zhen Ying's words are all about the house, and Mrs. Zhang is not easy to answer, before she came, she heard that Mrs. and Miss were not compatible in Pei Zhongshu's mansion, but she didn't expect it to be like this. Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Ma for help, and said, "Old lady, this matter ......."
Mrs. Ma didn't show it on her face, but she agreed with Zhen Ying's statement in her heart, she has always loved her youngest son the most, and the daughter-in-law she found for her younger son is also her mother's family, but unfortunately she only got one Zhen Ying's hard work and let go. The new You family does not serve by Mrs. Ma's side in the capital all the year round, she doesn't like it or not, but she is afraid that Zhen Ying will suffer, but when she heard Zhen Ying mention that You Shi has not given birth to a boy and half a girl for so many years, it doesn't matter, and there is no movement at all, which makes her unhappy.
"I've written down this matter, but in the end, it's a big deal to marry a girl, and I can't decide at will." Old Madam Ma waved her hand, "Let me think about it again." ”
This thought about this family affair is estimated to be yellow, Mrs. Zhang muttered in her heart, she came here from the capital all the way, and she has to go back before her ass is hot, which is not worth it.
Mrs. Zhang quietly glanced at Zhen Ying again, and saw that the Qingli face was full of dissatisfaction and rejection, she secretly took a sip, and said secretly: It's just a daughter from the seventh grade of the middle school, and the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department is the official of the fourth grade, if it weren't for the prestige of Lord Pei Shilang and the Pei family, and because Mrs. Zhongshu and the deputy envoy's wife are familiar with each other, people would not take a fancy to her, but as a result, she is not yet conscious, and she is completely dissatisfied with such a high-level marriage.
Mrs. Zhang also forgot that Zhen Ying was stained with the light of Master Pei Shilang Pei, and that one was just the nephew of the deputy envoy of the General Administration.
Mrs. Ma spoke, and it was useless for Mrs. Zhang to say anything more, so she drank up the tea and got up to go out.
Mrs. Ma asked Jinhong to send it all the way, Jinhong knew the old lady's thoughts, and sealed a big seal to Mrs. Zhang, saying: "You have worked hard, this time the old lady still has to consider, there are so many young ladies and masters at home, you should pay attention, if there are good people, you must bring a letter to our old lady." ”
The words are polite words, but the silver is real silver, Mrs. Zhang pinched the heavy envelope, and suddenly had a smile on her face: "Where is the girl saying, the young lady and the master of the Pei family are in Yongzhou, if you want to go to Beijing to say goodbye in the future, I must choose the best family." ”
Zhen Ying saw that Mrs. Zhang was gone, and leaned on Mrs. Ma twice: "Grandmother, if I don't go back to the capital, the people you choose can't do it." ”
"Grandmother knows." Mrs. Ma patted Zhenying's back, her eyes were a little red, "Our three girls are hard, don't worry, grandmother will pick a good one for you." ”
With her two younger sisters in the way, Zhen Ying suppressed some emotions, and when she thought of You Shi's hatefulness, she wished that she would rush to her and fight with her now, so as to dissipate the anger in her heart.
Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan looked at their noses and noses, and the war between Zhen Ying and You had nothing to do with them, and they couldn't intervene, so it was better to hurry up and finish this picture, so that the sisters could start work together.
Zhen Ying's temper passed, she came over to look at it, pointed to the embroidered sermon and said: "It's still the two of you who have the most careful eyes, and you will do this work, I can embroider the small one, and such a big light map will worry me to death." ”
Zhen Lin didn't stop what she was doing, and said, "Third sister help us see if there is any leakage or deformation, I and the seventh sister will hurry up, and we will be able to embroider tomorrow." ”
"Let the ninth sister come over and help take a look." After Zhen Ying finished speaking, she asked the maid to send a message to Zhen Qi, Zhen Wen, Zhen Jue and Zhen Huan, and asked people to fetch the silk thread, "I will separate the line with the fifth sister, the eighth sister, and the tenth sister first." ”
When the sisters came one after another, the previous matter of Mrs. Zhang would not be mentioned again, Liu Yiwan was bored in the house, and Zhenqiong was worried about her temperament, so she also came together.
Zhenqi embroidered the peony for a while was dizzy, and she only felt that the lines were comfortable, and there were a lot more laughs.
was lively, and another mother-in-law hurriedly came in to reply, saying that the second wife of the Liu family had arrived outside the gate.
When Mrs. Ma heard this, she was surprised: "So fast? It seems that he came as soon as he finished writing the letter. ”
Liu Yiwan also raised her head, she had already heard that Mrs. Liu was coming to Yongzhou, and she was worried that she was going to come to Yongzhou at that time, and she was even more anxious.
After waiting for a while, there was a crisp greeting in the yard, the second Mrs. Liu walked steadily, behaved dignified, and when she entered the house to see the old lady, she was about to salute, when she heard a coquettish and timid "second aunt" from the pile of young ladies on the side, she turned her head to see, it was not Liu Yiwan.
Second Mrs. Liu's eyes were red, where could she care about the number of courtesies, three steps and two steps over to hug Liu Yiwan and cry: "My son, my aunt misses you." ”
Liu Yiwan's nose was sour, and she couldn't hold back her tears, thinking about her deceased mother, she cried. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come (qidian.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
