Ma sat down and smiled at the child in his mother-in-law's arms, "This is the daughter of your eldest brother Qingjia, who will be one year old in half a month, called Hui'er." Then she stretched out her hand, "Come, Hui'er, come down, come to Grandmother." ”

Children's hair is short and not too long. Therefore, Hui'er only had a sky-high pigtail tied on the top of her head. Her little face is white and pure, and you can know by looking at her eyebrows and eyes that she is also a beautiful girl when she grows up, and she must be no different. When she heard her grandmother's call, her little hand stretched out to her grandmother, but her eyes were staring at Qingshu.

The mother-in-law, Yinggu, did not send Hui'er into Ma's arms, but bent down and put Hui'er on the ground.

Hui'er landed on her feet, looked up at Aunt Ying, then tilted her head to look at Qingshu curiously, and finally looked at her grandmother, calling her grandmother softly and vaguely, stepping away from her little feet, her body swayed, she walked over like a penguin, and grabbed Ma's skirt with her little hands.

Qing Shu originally planned to be indifferent, wanting to make Ma retreat. But seeing a seemingly cute child, she couldn't help it, her eyes stared at the little guy, and unconsciously, a smile appeared on her face. Kids! It's an angel when she's cute, and it's definitely a devil when you're crying. Although everyone knows this truth, some people just can't stand the cuteness of children.

Ma Shi stared at his granddaughter lovingly, saw her granddaughter's eyes glued to Qingshu, and said softly, "Hui'er, this is my aunt, come, call my aunt." ”

When Hui'er heard this, she immediately stopped staring at Qingshu and stretched out her hand to ask her grandmother to hug her.

Ma didn't force Hui'er to call her aunt, hugged Hui'er at her feet to her knees, and said to Qingshu with a smile, "She still recognizes life and doesn't dare to call anyone." When you get acquainted, you will know how naughty this little girl is. ”

Qing Shu smiled politely, "Children are all recognized." "But I was thinking: This girl doesn't want to know you.

A child is a child, who will sit quietly and still. Hui'er was moving around on her grandmother's lap and was not sitting honestly. Yinggu hurriedly hugged Hui'er back from the side.

Qing Shu instructed the little fish who was waiting on the side to take an apple, peel it, cut it into small pieces, and then bring it over. Then he made a gesture to Ma, "Please drink tea." "Skip the title.

Ma picked up the tea bowl, elegantly used the lid of the tea bowl to remove the tea leaves floating on the water, took a sip of tea, and gently put it back on the table, basically without making any sound. Then, she looked at Qing Shu apologetically, "Li'er is spoiled by her aunt, she is willful and ignorant, and she must have caused you a lot of trouble in the past few days." ”

Out of politeness, Qing Shu smiled lightly and gave Ma a soft nail, "Where." ”

Ma knew that this topic would not work. She sighed softly, "Alas! A good flesh and blood affection will make your uncle toss away. Earlier, my aunt followed your uncle to Beijing and took refuge with your father. Your father and mother don't think we are shabby, and they will take care of us with all their might, so that we can gain a firm foothold in the capital and eat and drink without worry. Those days were the most comfortable days my aunt had lived for most of her life. Your father is a good brother, your mother is a good concubine and a good sister, we got along well at that time, and your mother taught your aunt many rules in Beijing. ”

Qing Shu didn't interject, and looked like he was listening very seriously.

Seeing that Qing Shu did not show disgust, Ma Shi was slightly relieved, "Although your father and your uncle are brothers, they are completely two kinds of people. Your father values love and righteousness, and he rises step by step, but he never abandons your mother, nor does he dislike poor relatives, and he has nothing to say about us. But your uncle," she choked up when she said this, but quickly adjusted her feelings, "borrowed your father's light, tasted the sweetness of wealth, forgot that it was a mud leg, and learned from the rich master to get a concubine back." She waved her hand in shame, "My aunt is confused, she is telling you this, she is really old and confused." ”

She turned her face, pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, calmed down her mood, and then faced Qingshu. "The iniquity of your uncle...... Not only did he deceive your mother and daughter, but he also did it to his own children. Let's not talk about how he ruined your big brother Qingjia, just talk about the matter in front of him, he actually wanted to send your cousin Li to give people joy for the dowry of five hundred taels of silver and a shop that doesn't know whether it's true or not. What's more, he also plans to occupy the family business that you have accumulated with great difficulty. On the eighth day of the second lunar month, he will tie you up, and then as your cousin's dowry maid, he will send you together to give people joy. ”

Qing Shu felt ridiculous, "How is he going to occupy our sister and brother's family business?" I'll see. ”

Ma Shi hurriedly said, "Qingshu, don't be careless. Although my aunt didn't know the detailed plan, she had drunk your uncle and pieced together a rough idea from your uncle's drunken words. Listening to that meaning, it seems that the one who needs Chongxi will send someone over to help take away your family business. The other party is very sure, as if there is a certain amount of power in Dexian County. ”

Strictly speaking, Qingshu basically hasn't had any dealings with Ma, and he doesn't know how Ma is, but he just heard from the ancient housekeeper that Ma has scheming, but he is not a bad person. Therefore, she was skeptical of Ma's words, and she could only act until accurate information arrived. She asked, "I heard that the family that wants to be happy is surnamed Wu?" ”

Wu said, "That's what your uncle said when he was drunk, there is a sick son in the Wu family in Dexian County, and his identity seems to be the eldest grandson. When I arrived here, my aunt also paid attention to inquiring, but I couldn't find out who your uncle's surname Wu was referring to and who the sick eldest grandson was. There are many people surnamed Wu in Dexian County, and they inquired about two sick and weak sons. One is the eldest son of the second room in the big family, and he is not the eldest grandson; The other is the eldest grandson of the family, but he only got married at the end of the year. This identity is not right. My aunt has been wondering about herself recently, is it because your uncle was drunk and didn't tell his surname, and the aunt who hurt him misheard the other party's surname. For this reason, my aunt was worried. ”

At this time, Xiaoyu brought in the sliced apple. Qingshu asked her to bring the apple to Hui'er.

Hui'er kept moving around in Aunt Ying's arms, and when she saw the cut apple on the plate, she stretched out her little finger and touched it, grabbed a piece with one hand, and put it in her mouth.

Qing Shu glanced at Hui'er with her mouth open and biting an apple, and turned her gaze, "You heard it right, it's indeed surnamed Wu." And, you checked, it's just a little bit of a deviation. The eldest son of the second room in the big family, named Wu Tianze, because the second room is in charge, people who don't know will mistakenly think that Wu Tianze is the eldest grandson, but they ignore the real eldest grandson of the long house. ”

Ma's face became ugly, "That's not, isn't that the son of the enemy who killed your mother?" "When they were in Beijing, they really didn't know what was going on here. Now that I have lived in Kangxi Town for more than half a month, how the Wu Mansion and the Ancient Mansion have made a feud, you can know without special inquiry.

Qing Shu smiled faintly, "Yes! ”

Ma Shi smiled miserably, "It's not a thing, Gu Yunfu, you are really not a thing, it's not a thing!" It's just that you didn't know when you agreed to get married, and now that you have lived here for more than half a month, how can you not know the grudge between the ancient mansion and the Wu mansion, you still have to marry your daughter in the past, and you have to calculate your niece, you are not a human being, you are not a human ......"

Seeing that she didn't look like she was fake at all, Qing Shu chose to be silent.

Ma sat in a daze, as if he had lost his soul. It seems that this is a big blow.

Qingshu was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and make trouble for himself, so he didn't look at Ma Shi at this time, but stared at Hui'er's appearance of gnawing apples, and didn't say a word. Hui'er's teeth haven't grown yet, how can she eat like an adult, she gnawed on a small piece of apple for a while before she finished eating.

Yinggu looked at Ma from time to time with a worried face, and she had to be distracted to wipe her saliva for Hui'er who was gnawing on the apple, and she had to prevent Hui'er from swallowing a large piece of apple, so she had no time at all.

After a long time, Ma seemed to have made a decision, and with red eyes and shaking hands, he took out a folded letter cover from his sleeve pocket. Even if she made a decision, she still hesitated and struggled in the end. She closed her eyes in pain, and when she opened them again, her eyes alternated with a look of determination. Finally, she shook her hand and put the letter cover on the table and pushed it towards Qing Shu.

Ying Gu seemed to realize something, and shouted urgently, "Madam! ”

Ma waved his hand and did not allow Yinggu to speak. She couldn't squeeze out a gentle smile on her face, she looked at Qing Shu seriously, "At the beginning, I was like a sister with you, and I got along well, very well." One day, when you and Li'er were holding hands and playing, your aunt sighed, 'I don't know who your sisters will fly into in the future?' Will the two be thousands of miles apart, and it will be rare to see each other in a lifetime? Your mother smiled and said, "It's rare that cousins have such a close relationship, and when they grow up, they naturally can't be separated, they can't marry far away, and they can't marry thousands of miles apart, so it's best to marry together in the mansion of a high-ranking official in Beijing, so that they can see each other from time to time." Moreover, when they are close, they can help each other. ’”

Hearing this, Qing Shu's eyes were fixed on the letter on the table, but his heart was in his throat. She had a very bad premonition. It will be like this, it is completely her dead mother who is too little and white, and she is really Tai Chi, except for giving birth to their sister and brother, she has not done a useful thing for their sister and brother. You see, even if she is dead, she still has some kind of thing left for her to deal with. She silently recited anxiously in her heart: Mother, you must not promise anything excellent to Ma's, otherwise, your daughter will hate you to death.

"My aunt joked, 'If they don't separate, they should marry their sisters into the same mansion.'" When you enter the same door, it is more convenient to meet, you can meet at any time, and you don't have to stick to etiquette, and you have to ask for the consent of your husband and family when you go out. Your mother heard, 'Yes, that's a good idea.' ’”

Qingshu's heart sank. Entering the same door, hum, what is the same entry door in ancient times, that is, sisters marrying a husband. Hum! Her mother is really superb. Sisters serve a husband together, and they come up with what they think!
