Chapter 108: Sister-in-law
It was March, the weather had warmed up, and the girls had changed into lighter spring shirts, and the flowers were so lively that they got together. The ladies and ladies of each family also began to liven up, and the posts handed to Bai Huanru were like Luoying in the twilight of spring.
Chunting naturally received invitations from several ladies, but she had never been used to such a scene, so she politely declined, and shrunk in her Lingxiang Pavilion every day to hide quietly.
The most important thing is that Changyan is about to pick her up, and the Lingxiang Pavilion has been very busy recently, packing up the items and the deployment of personnel, which is enough for Chunting to be busy.
Changyan didn't stay in Huaiyang at that time, he got up two days after Luo Yu left, he already had an errand on his side, and a detour to Huaiyang had been delayed for some time. Since Chunting wouldn't go back to Xingqing with him immediately, he would go back to recover first, and then come back to pick her up when Chunting was ready.
Originally, the letter said that it would come in early March, but now it is already mid-March, and Changyan has not yet come to Huaiyang, and the boxes and cages in the Lingxiang Pavilion have been taken care of, as long as Changyan comes, Chunting will be able to carry things with him immediately.
Seeing that the girl who grew up next to her was about to leave, Bai Huanru was also a little reluctant, not to mention that now Brother Yan also knows people, Chunting has been in the East Chamber for a while, Brother Yan is happy to be close to her, and when he sees Chunting, he grinned happily, stretching out two white and chubby little hands to want Chunting to hug.
Chunting has never had much children, and when she got along with Meng Ge'er at home in the past, the Zhao family guarded her against being like a thief, for fear that her baby son would make a mistake, and Brother Yan was still the first little doll who was willing to be so close to her.
A little girl who thinks she has grown up and a little doll who can't even speak are glued together all day long, and Bai Huanru, a mother, can't help but say a few words.
When the peach blossoms outside the Lingxiang Pavilion were blooming, Chang Yan finally handed over the letter, saying that he would arrive in Huaiyang in the next two days.
On this day, Chunting put on his clothes early and went to wait in the courtyard. When Bai Huanru saw her, she nodded her forehead and scolded her with a smile, but she was more solemn than before.
After a little maid came to report that someone was about to arrive, Chun Ting looked at Bai Huanru with blank eyes, Bai Huanru was helpless, waved her hand and let her go to Ermen to wait, she was anxious.
Today, with the Spring Court out of the chess language and the Youth League, these days the two of them have run in very well, the Youth League is smarter than the scholar, a little older, and the act is also calm, and the chess language is paired with Ding Mama is also relieved that they go out with the Spring Garden.
Qiyu went to a shady place and wanted to invite Chunting over, but Chunting thought that the place was remote, and if Changyan came, he was afraid that he would not be able to see it. The Youth League answered on the side: "Although it is March now, this day is also sunburning, if the girl stands here and tans a little, then the little marquis of the Luo family will not have to laugh at you!"
Chunting muttered, "No", but still stood over there honestly.
After a while, he heard someone coming, and Chun Ting stood on tiptoe to look, but saw that it was not Chang Yan and Su Hanran who hit the head, but a young woman in her early twenties.
The woman was wearing an apricot-colored gown, a smoke-brown woven gold horse-faced skirt on the bottom, a long daylily colored armor on the outside, a loose bun, and only an ebony hairpin was inserted between the temples, and a round Nanzhu fell on the hairpin.
Chun Ting's eyes lit up, and he greeted him with his skirt, and called out: "Second sister-in-law!"
The person who came was the Qin family, and when the Qin family saw Chunting running towards her, he couldn't help but sigh, "What a big girl, and she is so frizzy!" ”
Chun Ting grabbed Qin's arm and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Second sister-in-law, why are you here?" ”
Qin took a closer look at the Spring Garden, and saw that the clothes and jewelry on the little girl's body were all good, her demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, and her demeanor was full of the little daughter's delicateness, which was no different from the noble girls she had seen since childhood, Qin smiled and said: "You don't know, your second brother is very careless, I just whispered it in his ear hundreds of times, and he can forget it." For such a big matter, it would be better for me to come in person, not to mention, my sister-in-law also misses us five girls. ”
"Then don't sister-in-law take care of the affairs of the family? It will take three months to come and go. Chunting was a little puzzled, now it was her second brother who had a face in front of King Liang, and it could even be said that the Lin family was supported by Changyan, so Changyan's wife Qin should be the housekeeper of course, but is there really no problem with the housewife leaving for so long?
The Qin family obviously didn't want to delve into this issue, and said lightly: "What does it matter, our family is not only your second brother, but naturally there is more than my wife, they are all the daughters-in-law of the Lin family, and whoever takes care of the house is not the same."
Qin said it easily, but Chunting still heard some of them unusual. In the past, when Chunting was still at home, the eldest sister-in-law Zhao and the second sister-in-law Qin were quite uneasy, the Zhao family thought that the Qin family was pretentious, and the Qin family thought that the Zhao family was rude, but the two had to maintain the apparent harmony under the same roof. But listening to what the Qin family said, I am afraid that the contradiction between these two people has not only not been resolved, but has become more and more intense.
Seeing Chunting's frowning look, Qin nodded at her, "You are worried about this, speaking of which, the fourth brother also married a daughter-in-law, your fourth sister-in-law is a ghost, and you will like it when you see it." ”
Sure enough, as soon as the Qin clan said this, Chun Ting's attention shifted suddenly, and he pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Second brother has sent me letters so many times, why haven't I mentioned it at all, I don't know at all." Then he pestered Qin to tell her about this new sister-in-law.
The two said this all the way, and before they could reach the Caiyi Courtyard, they saw Huanqing come out to greet them. Huanqing is now the most face-saving housekeeper around Bai Huanru, and Huanqing came out to greet her, which is very face-saving for the Qin family.
"I really didn't know that Mrs. Lin came in person, and our wife didn't believe it, so she prepared in a hurry, but I was afraid that I would neglect Mrs." After Huan Qing saluted, he led the way in front and spoke to the Qin family very respectfully.
Qin chuckled, "What's the matter, I'm just a rough person, but I'm going to bother Madame for a few days." ”
"Mrs. Lin, don't say that." Huan Qing said, "Our Miss Lin is the most temperamental, that is a person with golden branches and jade leaves, the girl is close to Mrs. Lin, then you are our honored guest." ”
Qin Shi smiled silently, followed Huanqing to Caiyi Courtyard, and greeted Bai Huanru after seeing it.
The two young women chatted together about some things in the inner house, and after saying a few words, the Qin family suddenly said: "I heard that the five girls have decided to have a family affair, and the one in my family is really not smart, and I only know that it is the prince of the Hou Mansion of Qing'an, and I don't know anything else." I heard that this family affair was checked by Mrs., and I was naturally relieved by Mrs.'s vision. Although I am a sister-in-law, I watched this girl grow up, so I inevitably care more, so I want to ask Mrs., what is the character of this little marquis? Our girl is the most honest, she doesn't have so many eyes, she hasn't experienced the things in the courtyard of the deep house, and I don't know how the little marquis fell in love with her. ”
There are some things that the Qin family can't say clearly, Changyan is a big old man and can't think of it, so he can only ask a few words in his words, our sister is stupid, or a maid, this Luo Xiaohou has a noble status, how can he take a fancy to this stupid girl in our family and ask her to be the main room?
Bai Huanru glanced at Chun Ting, who was fiddling with the snacks on the porcelain plate, and said, "Chun Ting is a good girl, I deal with these women in the inner house every day, and I feel much more relaxed when I say a few words to her every day." Sister Lin also knows that the thousands of miles from Sanchuan to Huaiyang are all relied on the little girl herself step by step, and they all say that the friendship of young people is the most precious, so this friendship of sharing hardships and hardships is a priceless treasure in this world. Sharing joys and sorrows, the little girl has suffered so much before she has even reached the end, how can she give some sweetness this day. ”
The words are clear, Chunting's family business is because she has suffered and suffered, and her heart is pure, so that the little marquis of others will fall in love with her, so she has concluded this family business, can someone else do it in Chunting? Whose girl didn't grow up in a honey pot, Bichun Court has suffered so much, Luo Yu is a sign of her hard work.
As he was talking, a maid came in outside to spread the word, Bai Huanru listened to it, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I just said that the Hou Shizi of Qing'an said that Mrs. Lin didn't believe it, seeing is believing, it's better for Mrs. to see it herself, so that Mrs. can feel at ease."
Chun Ting, who was staying on the sidelines, finally reacted, what did this mean? What does it mean to see is believing? Could it be that Luo Yu came to Huaiyang? Why didn't she hear anything at all?
After Bai Huanru finished speaking, he led the Qin family to move to the flower hall, there was a screen in the flower hall, and he could faintly see the figure outside, and Chun Ting just sat down and stared at the slender figure reflected on the screen and couldn't take his eyes off.
It's really Luo Yu here, why didn't he write to her in advance? If she knew that Luo Yu was coming over today, she would definitely dress up well, but Luo Yu didn't see the beautiful dress she was wearing last time on the Shangyuan Festival. Chun Ting looked down at her clothes, will this clothes look a little old-fashioned, she thought that when she saw her brother's, the clothes were prepared casually, who knew that today not only saw the Qin family, Luo Yu also came.
Chun Ting didn't realize that Luo Yu couldn't see what the clothes on her body looked like at all through the screen, and the girl's mind shook and shook, and with a wisp of fragrance swept into the heart of the young man opposite.
