Not to mention the careful thoughts of Cui Jiu's daughter-in-law, Cui 13 came out of the kitchen and ran into the lobby brother Cui Da.

Aunt Cui's grandmother's father, the old lady of the Cui family, is still there, and the brothers have not been separated, and when it comes to the grandchildren, they are called Da Lang and Erlang according to the size of their births...... When Da Lang and Erlang were born, the Cui family was just able to eat enough, and they had never read, and when the Cui family's life gradually lived, the land deed was to be pledged, and the guarantee was to press the handprint, only to find that the word "Lang" was really difficult to write, so they simply called Cui Da and Cui Er.

From the brothers, when Cui Thirteen was able to enlighten in a private school twenty miles away from the village, the daimyo was called Thirteen.

Seeing Cui Da, Cui Shisan was very surprised.

Since Cui Da helped Dou Zhao manage the Grange, the whole family has moved to live in the Grange, not to come back during the New Year's holidays. The day of this year's winter inventory has long passed, and there are still more than ten days left in the new year...... He couldn't help but say, "Big brother, why are you free to come back today?" ”

Cui Da smiled and said, "Isn't this going to the fourth little sister and the ceremony?" I'll come back to discuss with our grandfather, let's see what we can send from Zhuangzi? He raised a two-foot-long herring in Yangzhong, and instructed Cui Shisan, "Go to the kitchen, steam it and serve wine to our grandfather." You also come and drink two glasses with you. ”

Dou Zhao has a total of twelve granges, all of which belong to Cui Daguan. She and the head of the grange heard that the stewards of her shop were thinking about giving her a gift, and they couldn't sit still for a while, and they came to Cui Da one after another: "I am also on an errand under the four little sisters, it makes no sense that the stewards of those shops don't give gifts?" ”

Cui Da felt that it made sense, but he had never had any opinions in this regard, so Cui's daughter-in-law gave him advice: "Go back and ask the old man, and Cui Shisan is also at home." He hurried back and had the words to let Cui Shi ** drink.

Cui Shisan didn't know that the idea hit him again, but he just thought that before returning to Zhending, he was dragged by Fan Wenshu to visit all the antique shops in Kyoto, and he felt that his feet seemed to start to hurt faintly again, and he couldn't help muttering: "Why are you talking about this everywhere you go?" ”

Cui Da didn't hear clearly, and thought that he didn't want to instruct himself, so he slapped his head with a bluff: "What? After living in Kyoto for two years, you came with your tail cocked? Big brother can't even move? Don't go yet! ”

"No, no!" The crops put their hands on the strength at any time, Cui Shisan was beaten to a grin, and hurriedly took over the herring, "I'll go, I'll go." ”

Cui Da looked at Cui Shisan's back and showed a silly smile, and turned around and went to the main house where the old lady Cui lived.

Old lady Cui smoked a copper pipe with a white marble mouth, and only said after a while: "What do those Zhuang heads say?" ”

"Say anything!" Cui Da said helplessly, "Some said that the silver building was exchanged for twenty taels of silver to make a sub-face, and some said that it was better to buy some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some said that it was better to give each of them, just go together......"

Mrs. Cui doesn't have to go to the ground in the past few years, usually the villagers walk around to send two feet of green cloth and red cloth or something, where is there any good idea, thought about it and said: "Or, go ask your aunt?" ”

Cui Da touched his head: "I went and asked." The aunt said that there is no need to be so troublesome, it is enough to send two pairs of shoes and socks. ”

Old lady Cui didn't fold either.

Just when Cui 13 came in.

Old lady Cui hurriedly pulled Cui Shisan Kang to sit and asked him: "Tell me, what do people in Beijing give when they encounter this kind of thing?" ”

Cui Shisan smiled: "No wonder there are no small families in Beijing?" ”

"That's right." Old lady Cui smiled.

Cui Shisan said to Cui Daodao: "I think it's better for the eldest brother to let those Zhuang heads give their own ...... You can't stand in the way of others, can you? ”

Cui Da nodded: "That's the reason." Looking at Cui Shisan's gaze, he became more and more attentive.

Cui Shisan coughed embarrassedly, and then said, "What the eldest aunt said also makes sense." Our family might as well make a few pairs of shoes and socks and give away two rare things. ”

"What's the rarity?" Old lady Cui and Cui Da stared at Cui Shisan with blazing eyes.

Cui Shisan went back to the room and brought a brocade box over: "This is what I picked up from Ji's shop, called Kaleidoscope ......" and then took it out and showed it to them.

Old lady Cui's eyes suddenly straightened, and she asked, "How much silver does this cost?" ”

"Thirty taels." Cui 13 Dao.

Fan Wenshu bought a lotus jade jade jade wash in an antique shop in Kyoto, and spent thirty taels of silver, and he also prepared this gift for Dou Zhao.

Old lady Cui shuddered: "It's so expensive!" But he grabbed the thing in his hand and didn't let go, and couldn't wait to shout, "Cui Si, his daughter-in-law." "Summoned the mother.

"You can receive and deliver this thing." Old lady Cui stuffed the brocade box to Tu Niang, "This is a gift from our family to the fourth sister, you can take a few of your sisters-in-law and younger siblings to help the fourth sister make two sets of clothes, and ask your mother for the silver." When the time comes, you and your sister-in-law will take Lao Jiu's daughter-in-law to the city to greet the fourth sister. ”

Cui Jiu's father-in-law had been a doorman in the county government for several years, and Cui Jiu's daughter-in-law was a knowledgeable person in the Cui family, so Mrs. Cui asked her to follow to congratulate Dou Zhao.

Cui Da and Cui Shisan never dreamed that the old lady of the Cui family would stop Hu halfway, and they were dumbfounded, and it took a while to come back to their senses, but unfortunately the thing had been neatly packed up by the mother.

"Grandpa......" Cui Shisan wanted to cry without tears.

Old lady Cui said in the ground: "Isn't it just thirty taels of silver?" You'll have to ask your grandma for it. You young lads, just run to the state capital tomorrow. Then he waved his hand and instructed Toniang: "Hurry up and set the meal!" It is time for those who have gone down to earth to return. ”

What else could Cui Da and Cui 13 say, hastily picked up a few mouthfuls of rice, rushed to the state capital overnight, and finally bought a pair of glass bowls and a palm-sized tortoiseshell incense burner before Ji's shop closed for the New Year, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Cui Da and Cui 13 drove a carriage and took Cui's daughter-in-law, Tuo Niang and Cui Jiu's daughter-in-law to the county seat.

On the way, they saw several well-made horse-drawn carriages with black paint and flat tops.

Cui Jiu's daughter-in-law had lived in the city for a few years, and said curiously: "Why are there so many carriages today?" ”

Not everyone can afford to sit in this kind of carriage.

Cui's daughter-in-law and Tuo Niang also squeezed around the car window and looked out.

"Oh!" Tu Niang saw a familiar face and said with a smile, "That's the carriage of Governor Lu's house, presumably Mrs. Lu came to participate in the ceremony of the fourth little sister." ”

"The fourth sister-in-law even knows the people of the prefect's family!" Cui Jiu's daughter-in-law did not hide her envy and said, "Mrs. Lu must have come to help the fourth little sister hairpin!" ”

"I'm just the coachman I met Master Lu when I came to greet Sister Sixiao last time." Tu Niang hurriedly explained, and said, "The fourth little sister and Lu may not arrange Mrs. Lu's hairpin!" ”

"Who will not be arranged by Mrs. Lu?" In Cui Jiu's daughter-in-law's eyes widened.

In her heart, it was already a great honor to let Mrs. Lu help the hairpin.

"There are many wives in the Dou family." Tu Niang just felt that Mrs. Lu was not qualified to help Dou Zhao's hairpin, and she said vaguely, "Who knows which lady will be arranged to help the hairpin." ”

While speaking, the carriage had arrived at the side gate of the Dou family, and Tuo Niang and Cui Jiu's daughter-in-law heard Cui Da, who had never spoken much, suddenly scolded and said, "...... This Tian Fugui actually got a pair of golden chickens to make a congratulatory gift to the fourth little sister! ”

Several people couldn't help but look over together, and saw a big fat man carrying two gilded birdcages on the left and right, each with a colorful rooster in the birdcage, and under the attention of everyone, he stepped into the side door of the Dou family with a proud face.

"It's really a golden chicken!" Cui's daughter-in-law exclaimed.

The people next to him were also buzzing: "...... Who is this man? I actually sent a pair of golden chickens! ”

"It seems to be the wealth of the Zhuangtou Tian on the East Head Grange!"

"Where did he get it? What a way! ”

Cui Da laughed and said to Cui Shisan: "Now the fat man of Xia Tian is famous!" ”

Cui Shisan also laughed: "I can't see it, this fat man is quite good at doing things." "Thinking about whether to take this person to the shop in Kyoto, his business is getting better and better, and he has to find a competent helper.

The thought flashed, and there was a sound of a bone-chilling carriage behind him, and the person who drove the carriage shouted loudly and arrogantly: "Let go, the carriage of the Marquis of Jining, the one in front, let go!" ”

The sound was like a boulder thrown into the river, and there was an uproar in front of the side door.

"It's the fourth little sister-in-law's family who is here!"

"It's worthy of the Hou Mansion, look at that horse, it's really majestic!"

"There are three wagons in total!"

Everyone was talking about it on the one hand, and they were busy making way for the people of the Wei family.

Over there, the Dou family got the letter and opened the door.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate.

The family in Tsing Yi carried the brocade box and moved it in one by one.

"I don't know what it was given?" The person at the side door stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to look that way, "That's a lot!" ”

"Of course!" The person next to him answered, "I don't want to think about what kind of person it is!" Hou Mansion! Our four little sisters will be Mrs. Hou's people in the future! ”

"That's, that's!"

The exclamation here was not over, and someone on the other side shouted: "Look, look, another carriage is coming." ”

The eyes of the crowd were drawn to it.

Dou Zhao, who was in the courtyard, walked out of the main room happily, and hugged the sixth aunt Ji who had just walked into the weeping flower door.

"Sixth Aunt!" The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy that she couldn't hide, "Why are you here?" Why didn't you say a word before? ”

Ji Shi looked at Dou Zhao, who had grown taller again, and hugged Dou Zhao's shoulders with a doting face: "If I had said it earlier, would you be so happy?" ”

Dou Zhao grinned.

The maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law next to them also laughed.

The fifteen-year-old birthday has not yet arrived, and the Dou family is already filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Ji Shi turned sideways and introduced a girl behind him to Dou Zhao: "This is my niece, her name is Ling Ze, three years older than you, I specially brought her to introduce you to know each other." ”

Dou Zhao suddenly heard a lightning strike.

Ji Lingze is the cousin of the Ji family who eloped with Dou Dezhao.

She couldn't help blinking, and only then did she see the slim girl in front of her clearly.

The green silk of the ink is only a hairpin inlaid with southern pearls, the skin is warm as jade, the face is beautiful as a peak, and there is a kind of elegant temperament like the rain of the empty mountain, which is unforgettable.

"Cousin Ji!" Dou Zhao bent his knees to salute Ji Lingze, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.

At this time, Ji Ling was not married, but he was engaged to the sixth son of the Han family in Huzhou.
