Cao's mother persuaded Xu's for most of the day, until Xiangqin came in again and said that the eldest young master had returned, so she finally stopped, and had the same surprise as Xu's: "You'll be back now?" And the old man is back too? ”

Xiangqin nodded: "Yes, the old man took the eldest young master to greet the old lady." ”

Xu Shi hurriedly got up: "Then I ......" said two words and paused, originally every time Shu Zheming came back, although the lunch was used in Ronghua Garden, but the whole family was going to gather there, but just now the old lady said that they had a few mothers and daughters, and lunch was directly used in their own yard, so there was no need to go to Ronghua Garden.

Xu's heart was full of excitement and excitement, and it was like encountering a small spark of water, and it was extinguished with a snort, and he waved his hand weakly: "Go and explain to the big kitchen, I will make lunch with the second girl and the third girl as soon as possible, and I will leave Cao's mother to eat today, so that the big kitchen will also prepare more of Cao's mother's favorite food." ”

Xiangqin responded, and Cao's mother reached out and patted Xu's hand: "According to what I said, don't worry, Zheming is a sensible child, and when he has lunch, he will definitely come over to greet you, you just have to wait." The matter of taking a concubine, you must not mention it to Zheming, Zheming's status in the hearts of the old lady and the old man cannot be shaken in the slightest. ”

"I understand what the nurse said, isn't it just to bow down and be small, waiting for the old lady to dissipate? It's not like I haven't done it before, I used to be able to let the old lady let go of that thing, and I will definitely be able to do it this time. Xu sneered: "Let that dead girl jump for two days, there will always be a day when she jumps too high and falls." ”

Cao's mother nodded with satisfaction, and muttered with Xu's again. After lunch, Shu Zheming really came to say goodbye, and the old lady also knew Xu's thoughts very well - Xu's son was such a son, and he would definitely not allow his son to be contaminated with anything that was not good for his reputation. Therefore, Shu Zheming can't interfere in this kind of thing like Lao Tzu's concubine, and the old lady will not worry about what the Xu family will do with Shu Zheming.

After seeing Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu, the Xu family could only fight alone, but if they wanted to come to the Cao family, who was like a human spirit, they would be able to settle down for two days.

Early the next morning, the old lady took Man Yao to Wang's house. Doctor Song's medical skills are still very good, and after a few days of hard work, Shu Manyao can't even see the slightest trace on his face.

Mrs. Wang took a few girls to greet the old lady at the second gate, and when she entered the inner courtyard, Mrs. Wang pulled Man Yao and said a few words, leaving Mrs. Wang and the old lady to talk alone.

Wang Shumin led Shu Manyao to play outside, and when she entered the flower hall, she pointed to the rest of the little girls and introduced: "This is my eldest sister, this is my third sister, this is my fourth sister, my fifth sister, and my sixth sister." ”

Not only have concubines, but also girls with two and three bedrooms. Compared with the Shu family, the population of the Wang family is much more complicated, and the population is also very prosperous. Of course, compared with the Shu family, there are a lot more things in secret. However, in the end, it is a big family, and in front of outsiders, the girls of the Wang family are still very united.

"Speaking of which, I've heard the second sister mention you, the second sister rarely praised people in the past, and I was full of praise when I mentioned you, I didn't believe it at first, but now that I see you, I think my second sister is not exaggerating at all, Miss Shu is really elegant and gentle, I don't know what Miss Shu does at home on weekdays? It's not fun for us to sit around, so let's come up with an idea. ”

Miss Wang took the lead in laughing, she was still young at the age of six, and pouted: "I don't want to write poems or anything, anyway, I can't win the second sister, so it's not a shame, why don't we play Jiugongge?" I just got a new one a while ago, and it's interesting. ”

The fifth girl smiled and touched the sixth girl's double bun: "Jiugongge is your favorite, I'm the most impatient one, why don't we make tea, I just learned a tea art two days ago, it's very good-looking, I'll show it to you?" ”

The third girl sighed: "Don't be ashamed, where are the guests who haven't spoken yet, you decide for yourself?" Besides, this game has to be played by everyone who likes it. One by one, you just pick what you like and say, it's too lazy to the guests, according to me, let's play the drum and pass the flowers, whoever the flowers fall into, who has to give everyone ......."

The third girl tilted her head and thought, Wang Shumin said on the side: "Why don't you tell everyone a joke?" It's all amused, it's a win, it's okay...... Well, you can just want to feel free about what you have on a person, and if you don't laugh at all of them, you have to lose, and you have to leave one thing on your body. ”

The accessories and jewelry on the little girls are all in a pile, and no one will care about winning or losing a few at will, especially a wealthy family like the Wang family. So, Wang Shumin's proposal was fully approved, and the eldest girl immediately asked people to find flower drums and silk flowers, ready to start drumming and passing flowers.

It's just that as soon as the maid knocked on the drumstick, another maid came in, this Shu Manyao had seen it, and it was the big maid next to Mrs. Wang.

"Sister Ruyi, but what does my mother have to say?" Wang Shumin hurriedly got up and asked, smiling ruyi and saluting everyone: "The guests are here, and the lady invites the girls to come over to meet." ”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Shu Manyao: "Madame said that Miss Shu is not an outsider, and she will also go to meet with the girls." ”

"Who's here? Where did it come from? The eldest girl asked curiously, Ruyi led the way in front and said with a smile: "It's from the capital, it's Madame's cousin." ”

"What's your name?" The third girl was also curious, but the eldest girl's face turned red quietly, the second girl Wang Shumin's face was calm, and she only slowed down, Shu Manyao saw this, and quickly slowed down: "Sister Wang, I want to see a foreign man......"

Wang Shumin squinted and pinched her palm: "How old are you, didn't you see my eldest sister also pass?" Besides, with the presence of the elders, it's fine. Just ......"

I didn't know what to say, Wang Shumin hesitated for a long time, and sighed again: "Since my cousin hasn't been to Jiangnan for more than ten years, I don't know what I'm going to do this time." You wait a while, just follow me, if the big sister says anything, don't interject, just listen. ”

In a word, just take your ears and do it, see less, talk less and move less.

Shu Manyao nodded hurriedly and thanked Wang Shumin for her guidance.

When I entered the room, I saw Mrs. Shu sitting at the top, Mrs. Wang sitting on the other side, and Mrs. Wang at the bottom was a strange young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a thin figure, a tall body, a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a star, sword eyebrows into the sideburns, and light lips.

"Shuya, Shumin, come over and see your cousin." Mrs. Wang beckoned, and smiled at the young man: "These few, these two are your cousins, Shu Shan and Shuqing are in the second room, Shuqin and Shuwen are in the third room, and they can be regarded as your cousins." This Miss Shu is a girl from the prefect's family, and she came to be a guest today, just in time. ”

After introducing himself, he introduced to Shu Manyao and the others: "This is your cousin, surnamed Yang." He looked at Shu Manyao and said with a smile: "Manyao and Shumin are sisters, so it's good to call them cousins." ”

Shu Manyao smiled and nodded, saluted the young man, called out to his cousin, and then sat aside and did not speak. Mrs. Wang smiled and asked, "Jianbai, why didn't you bring a letter before you came?" I'll send someone to pick you up, how long can you stay in Jiangnan this time? Why don't you celebrate the New Year in Jiangnan? ”

Yang Jianbai was upright, and he didn't look at the girl here, but said in a deep voice: "Auntie forgive me, Jianbai was just passing by Jiangnan this time, thinking that when his mother was alive, he was very worried about his aunt, so he came to say hello to his aunt." Jianbai didn't have much time, and he was going to go out of the city in a while, so his aunt didn't have to bother arranging for Jianbai. ”

Shu Manyao's face changed suddenly, his surname is Yang, his name is Jianbai, Yang Jianbai, isn't this name the person who his father told him in his previous life? But wasn't that man eight feet tall, with a waist like a water tank, a beard on his face, eyes like brass bells, and a rude speech like thunder? There are also murderous people such as Ma Ru Mao, drinking blood, being vicious, vicious, and unreasonable, these legends are not right with the man in front of them, right?

Or is it just the same name? Thinking of this possibility, Shu Manyao instantly calmed down, Daqian shijie, bustling, it is inevitable that there are a few people with the same name, probably, this person is not the one he knows.

After thinking about it, Shu Manyao calmed down again, but she thought she was doing a good job, but she didn't know that Yang Jianbai felt the most keen, and she noticed the change in the expression on Shu Manyao's face early on, and she was also a little puzzled in her heart, what she just said, what was wrong? Or, is it not doing the right thing?

Mrs. Wang was taken aback: "Why do you have to leave today?" What are you going to do? Can't you even delay a day? As he spoke, he began to wipe his tears: "When your mother is here, our sisters are the best, but ...... Since you are her only son, I have to take good care of you for her, what are you going to do? Why did you go out of Beijing at the end of the year? ”

As he spoke, his face changed: "But the Yang family ......"

Yang Jianbai shook his head quickly, and Mrs. Shu also heard it, and it was almost time to talk about other people's family secrets, so it was not suitable to listen, so she hurriedly offered to leave.

Mrs. Wang was a little hesitant, and after a while, the little girls she fancied should come over, and she couldn't let both sides run in vain. Just as he was hesitating, he saw Wang Shumin stand up: "Mother, grandmother just said that she wants to get together with the old lady, why don't you come and lead the way for the old lady?" I happened to go with my sister of the Shu family to see what I wrote last time. ”

got the hint, Mrs. Wang hurriedly gave Ruyi a look, and asked Ruyi to go to Mrs. Wang to report the news first, and then responded to Wang Shumin's words, and asked Wang Shumin to lead a group of sisters and sisters to play outside.

There were no outsiders in the room, so Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" But the Yang family can't tolerate you? ”
