Jiang Lizhu was alone, and was shouting to a little maid and asked, "Have you seen Miss Biao?" ”

"The slave didn't see Miss Cousin." The little maid hurriedly said, "I'll help grandma find it." ”

Dou Zhao smiled when he heard this: "What's wrong?" Sister Yan is gone? ”

Jiang Lizhu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I'm hiding somewhere." Then he stopped the little maid, "Go and go about your business!" He turned his head to Dou Zhao and said, "I'll go to Bishuixuan to have a look, maybe I'll go back to Bishuixuan." ”

There have been a few guests at home, Jiang Yan's fearful temperament Dou Zhao can see it somewhat, she smiled and said: "Then there is Cousin Lao Twelve - there are too many guests today, and I don't have time to care about her." ”

"Cousin-in-law don't worry." Jiang Lizhu smiled, "Sister Yan will leave it to me." ”

She bent her knees towards Dou Zhao and went to Bishui Xuan.

Bishui Xuan was quiet, only two little maids who had just kept their heads were sitting in the room doing needlework and chatting.

"Isn't Miss Cousin here?" Jiang Lizhu said in confusion.

The two little maids stood up after losing their needles and threads, and said in unison: "Miss Biao is served by Sister Yinghong to eat and drink." ”

Hey! So where did she go?

Jiang Lizhu secretly searched all the way along the path by the lake.

Seeing that he was about to reach the Hanging Flower Gate, he saw several maids standing under the pomegranate tree in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, and a man and a woman were standing there talking.

She looked at it, and the man was wearing a lilac-colored Hangzhou silk robe, tied with a dark silk silk, and hung a jade pendant of sheep fetal jade. The woman is dressed in a pink makeup gown, with black sideburns and lotus seeds, and the big pearl emerald flowers are shiny and shiny, lining a face that is as delicate as magnolia flowers. Isn't it Chen Jia and Jiang Yan or who?

Jiang Lizhu's heart jumped a few times inexplicably.

Seeing that Chen Jia said a few words, Jiang Yan covered his mouth and laughed.

The eyebrows and eyes bloom like flowers, very delicate and cute.

She couldn't help but hurry forward.

Jiang Yan, who saw Jiang Lizhu, greeted Jiang Lizhu with a smile: "Cousin! Then he explained. I heard that Master Chen came to eat and drink, so I came over to thank him and ask about Li Liang by the way. ”

At this time, Chen Jia had heard the movement and turned around. He smiled and arched his hand towards Jiang Lizhu, and called "Grandma Wu" without being arrogant or humble.

Jiang Lizhu was very confused in her heart. Hastily and Chen Jia nodded, took Jiang Yan's hand, and said angrily, "Why did you come here?" My cousin is looking for you! ”

Jiang Yan's eyebrows immediately collapsed when she heard this, and she said to Chen Jia: "This matter will trouble you!" ”

Chen Jia's tone was respectful: "You're welcome." If there is news, I will ask Tao's second daughter-in-law to tell Miss Yinghong. ”

Jiang Yan nodded, held hands with Jiang Lizhu, and went to the inner courtyard surrounded by Yinghong and others.

Jiang Lizhu said: "What did you entrust Master Chen with?" ”

"Didn't I ask Master Chen to help me send some silver to Li Liang last time?" Jiang Yan said, "I just want to ask how Li Liang is now." Who knew that Lord Chen was sent by someone to send him, and when the person replied to the letter, Lord Chen forgot to ask about Li Liang. And I will let him meet the man. Just help me ask Li Liang about his current situation. ”

Is it necessary to make such trouble?

Jiang Lizhu was silent.

Jiang Yan wants to go back to Bishuixuan. Jiang Lizhu took a lot of effort to move Jiang Yan and went to Dou Zhao with him.

The ladies who came were all listening to the play in the flower hall, and only Dou Zhao and Mrs. Changxing were talking side by side in the banquet room of the main room.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Mrs. Changxing Hou glanced at Jiang Yan with an interested smile. Stopped the topic.

Jiang Lizhu quietly stepped forward with Jiang Yan to salute the two.

Dou Zhao asked Jiang Yan softly: "Where did you go just now?" Outside is "The Story of Huansha", and the one who plays the role is Zeng Chusheng's apprentice. The singing is not bad, you are bored at home every day to do needlework, and occasionally you should come out and walk around. ”

Jiang Yan responded "yes", but the words were picked up by Jiang Lizhu: "When I found her in Bishuixuan, she was doing needlework as my cousin said!" If I hadn't dragged her out, I'm afraid we'd still be looking for her. After speaking, she said to Jiang Yan again, "I'll just say, if my cousin-in-law knows that you are needleworking in Bishui Xuan, she will definitely let you come out to listen to the play." I'm right! ”

This is?

Jiang Yan was surprised.

If you say "yes", isn't that a lie to your sister-in-law? If you say "no", doesn't it mean that the twelfth sister is lying?

She hesitated and didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Changxinghou next to her smiled and said: "Little girl's family, you should come out more to breathe, don't go out all day, no matter how flexible you are, you will become stupid." Miss Cousin, let's go to the play! At this time, he should be singing "Separation", this is Zeng Chusheng's forte, and his apprentice should not be too bad. ”

It looked like the two of them were sent away.

Jiang Lizhu thought of the scene when she entered the house just now, and guessed that Mrs. Changxinghou had something to say to Dou Zhao alone, but was interrupted by herself and Jiang Yan.

She smiled and said "yes", and pulled Jiang Yan out of the banquet room.

Dou Zhao shook his head at Mrs. Changxinghou and said, "You have also seen that our child, who is still like a child, is Zai Jiao, and you will be the eldest brother of your mother's family as a clan wife, I'm afraid she won't be able to afford it!" ”

"Why is there a 'mass media' saying!" Mrs. Changxinghou smiled disapprerovingly, "The eldest brother of my family, it's not me who boasts, he is well-known for his ability in Shili and Eight Townships, and there is nothing he can't afford to do outside the family." But this capable person also has the shortcomings of a capable person, that is, he has a strong temperament. When my brother and daughter-in-law were alive, they quarreled with my eldest brother a lot over this, and once even got so angry that my eldest brother took me back and persuaded my brother and daughter-in-law. So my eldest brother continued this time, and he made it clear that the woman is a girl's family or a new Jiao, and she doesn't choose whether she has a dowry or not, as long as she is docile and polite. I just saw that your young lady has a good temperament and came up with this thought. Besides, my eldest brother is more than ten years older than your cousin, and your cousin is a beautiful flower, if this thing is done, the old man and the young wife, he will not serve the soup in one hand and the foot washing water in the other. Do you dare to lose your temper? You just wait and see, and when the time comes, my eldest brother will obey in front of Miss Cousin, and dare not say a word out loud. ”

Dou Zhao said with a smile: "Please ask Mrs. to allow me to discuss this matter with our family's grandfather." ”

"Of course." Mrs. Changxing nodded with a smile, and went to the flower hall with Dou Zhao to watch the play.

Everyone listened to the drama and listened to the mystery. Only a few people noticed that Mrs. Changxinghou and Dou Zhao were coming and going, and Dou Zhao saw Jiang Yan and Jiang Lizhu sitting at the end of the corridor and being served by the maid and the maid eating tea with melon seeds, so he couldn't help but smile slightly and listen carefully to the play.

Not for a while. The banquet was set.

The housekeeper's grandmother came to invite everyone to the feast.

Everyone smiled and entered the flower hall, divided the main and secondary and sat down.

The hot and cold dishes were served like water.

Feng Shi, the third wife of Jingguo Mansion, found an opportunity to ask Dou Zhao in a low voice: "Mrs. Changxing Hou wants to marry Miss Guishang for her mother's brother?" ”

Dou Zhao's heart moved, and he nodded slightly.

Feng reminded her: "Mrs. Changxinghou's eldest brother is a shrewd and capable person, and his family is also very wealthy, but he is too capable, and now he wants to donate an official, Changxinghou thinks he has a lot of things, and he is mostly blocked these days." I want to find a way out. You are careful to lose your wife and break your soldiers. ”

Let's not say that Mrs. Changxinghou's eldest brother is twenty years older than Jiang Yan. In the future, Changxinghou will fold this article in Dou Qijun's hands. Dou Zhao would never agree to let Jiang Yan marry him no matter what.

She smiled and nodded at Feng in gratitude.

Feng was silent.

After the luncheon, everyone moved to the porch to continue listening to the play.

Jiang Lizhu quietly moved over. asked Dou Zhao in a low voice: "Cousin-in-law, does Mrs. Changxinghou want to be a matchmaker for Sister Yan?" ”

Dou Zhao saw that she was very concerned. Laughing and quipping her, "What? Do you have a good candidate? ”

Jiang Lizhu smiled wryly, did not speak, in the burst of cheers, she lightly returned to her and Jiang Yan's position, and whispered to Jiang Yan: "The first marriage is up to the father, and the second marriage is up to yourself." Have you ever wondered what kind of person you want to marry? ”

Jiang Yan's expression darkened, and he said in a voice after a while: "A woman like me is immoral and unchaste, who would want it?" They want to marry me, but they just want to get on my brother's big tree. Do I get my brother and sister-in-law into less trouble? Isn't it bad to stay at home honestly like this and not cause trouble for them? Why get married! ”

If Jiang Lizhu hadn't been engrossed in it, and even guessed, in the high-pitched singing, I am afraid that she would not be able to hear a word clearly.

She asked Jiang Yan in a low voice: "If you find someone like Master Chen, you won't marry?" ”

Jiang Yan was stunned, and then laughed clearly: "You see that I often trouble Master Chen, right?" Master Chen is different, he has seen it all when I am most down, and it is the most unsatisfactory, and it is nothing more than that. I don't need to pretend to be in front of him. ”

Jiang Lizhu bowed his head.

Jiang Yan also wanted to explain to her the relationship between himself and Chen Jia, but Jiang Lizhu's eyes were about to turn to the stage.

She grabbed Jiang Yan's arm and smiled: "Look, the next thing is to sing "Meet". ”

Jiang Yan had no choice but to swallow his words.

But when she thought of Jiang Lizhu's words, she couldn't help but panic, feeling that she would never be able to meet Chen Jia again in the future, if her brother and sister-in-law thought the same, Chen Jia would be finished.

She grew up in the market since she was a child, and she knew that a person with no background wanted to mix with Chen Jia, and she didn't know how much it cost to pay, and she didn't want to ruin Chen Jia's future because of herself.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh abruptly.

And after Dou Zhao told Song Mo about Mrs. Changxinghou's courtship, Song Mo waved his hand again and again and said "no" and said "too old".

His reaction was expected by Dou Zhao.

She used this as an excuse to push Mrs. Changxinghou's proposal.

Mrs. Changxinghou was so angry that her chest was tight, and she said to the maid next to her in private: "Does she think that lady of their family is a golden person?" The woman of the Jiao is still picking and picking, be careful that you can't marry in the future! I felt that my brother had an idea, so I called my brother and reprimanded him fiercely.

His younger brother was very aggrieved and said, "Sister, you have been in the inner house for too long, and you are not well informed about things outside. This woman is Song Yantang's younger sister, he is now hot in front of the emperor, and there is no store in the village. If you don't believe me, write to my brother-in-law and see what he says! ”

Mrs. Changxinghou was suspicious and wrote a letter to her husband.

Changxinghou replied and scolded Mrs. Changxinghou, saying that she had long hair and short knowledge, and such a good opportunity was not to be seized, so you should not propose to Mrs. Dou by yourself, you should ask Concubine Shi to propose to Yunyun.

That's all for later.

On the second day of Brother Yuan'er's 100-day ceremony, Jiang Lizhu took the initiative to visit Dou Zhao at the British Mansion.

Sisters and brothers, send you today's update.
