When he came back from the Qian family, Zeng Rong didn't say anything, and accompanied his family to make zongzi and wormwood green fruits.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the family went to the Guanyin Temple outside the city to watch a dragon boat race, and the festival was lively.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, when Zeng Rong was planning to go to the Qian family in person, the Qian family ordered Uncle Qin to send a post, and booked a private room in Wufu Building near Nanqing Hutong where Zeng Rong and his family lived, and invited Zeng Rong's family and Ouyang Si's family to get together, one is to marry Zeng Rong, and the other is to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Ouyang Si's family.

Zeng Rong took the post to Ouyang Si, the other party's intentions were obvious enough, and then it depended on his sincerity.

Ouyang Si took the post and turned to look for his three elders.

About half an hour later, Zeng Rong and his entourage entered Wufu Building, the Qian family set a large private room, there was a screen partition, Qian Yi took Qian Hong to sit outside, heard the movement, Mrs. Qian came out with Qian Qianying.

may be to cooperate with Ouyang Si's side, Mrs. Qian and Qian Qian deliberately "dressed up" today, the clothes on their bodies are the cheapest and most ordinary yarn materials, Mrs. Qian only has a golden hairpin on her head, and Qian Qian only wears a circle of beige lilacs on her head, and there is a pair of thin gold bracelets on her wrists.

Zeng Rong was stunned for a moment when he saw the mother-daughter dress, then covered his mouth and lowered his head and laughed, and was secretly pinched by the Chen family on the side.

After Zeng Rong introduced the two sides, he took his female dependents into the screen, and Ouyang Si took his grandfather and Zeng Fuxiang to stay outside.

Because Ou Mu and Ouyang Si's grandmother could only speak the local dialect, Zeng Rongde was responsible for passing the word for both sides, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zeng Hua staring at Qian Qian stupidly in a daze, and was about to remind her, only to see Qian Qian touch her face and ask her: "Sister Ahua, there is something dirty on my face?" ”

"No, Ah Hua Zhun is the lilac on your head in the photo, this match is good, it is fresh and fragrant." Zeng Rong took the words for Zeng Hua.

"Really? If Sister Ah Hua likes it, there are a lot of them in my back garden, and I will send someone to bring you some tomorrow. Qian Qian believed it and smiled sweetly.

"This kid is really smiling when he looks at it, not bad." Grandma praised it, although she didn't understand what Qian Qian said, the smile on the girl's face said it all.

Ou Mu obviously fell in love with Qian Qian, good-looking is one thing, love to laugh is also one thing, it is rare that there is no arrogance, a pair of eyes are clear and bright, looking is a simple and simple, without those twists and turns.

Mrs. Qian is also quite satisfied with Ou Mu, she is not afraid of poverty, she is afraid of the kind of greedy people who have no bottom line, and she is also afraid of the kind of troublemakers who are not easy to get along with.

Ou Mu didn't look like she was one of the two, and sure enough, after some conversation, she learned that Ou Mu had been relying on embroidery for a living to pull her eldest son and support her son to study, and Mrs. Qian admired her.

However, she admired Ouyang Si's grandmother even more, after the old man learned that his son-in-law was gone, the orphans and widows had a difficult livelihood and were bullied by the clansmen, so it was rare to be able to resolutely take the mother and son back and give them a place to live despite the gossip.

From the old man's hands, Mrs. Qian could also guess what kind of life the family was living, but in this way, they could still insist on Ouyang Si to study, which was really admirable.

This meal was enjoyed by Zeng Rong, and the only lonely person was Zeng Hua.

On this occasion, Zeng Rong had the intention not to take her to participate, but the Qian family made a post, and Zeng Rong couldn't leave her at home alone, otherwise, Zeng Hua would have to face a bunch of people's inquiries and suspicions, rather than that, it was better to simply bring her.

It's just that Zeng Rong didn't expect that not only did she see Zeng Hua's loneliness, but Ouyang Si also saw it, mainly because he had been feeling that Zeng Hua was wrong for the past two days, as if he was avoiding him, he asked Zeng Hua the reason, and Zeng Hua explained that it was because Zeng Rong was going out of the cabinet and was in a bad mood.

This reason was hidden from Ouyang Si, but because of this, Ouyang Si pitied her even more, and always wanted to relieve her and make her happy.

No, seeing Zeng Hua come out of the restaurant with his head down, and after seeing off the Qian family, Ouyang Si walked over and patted her on the head, "I heard that the sour plum soup in Jumingxuan Teahouse is a must, I'll take you to taste it, just so I'm going to go to the bookstore over there to find a few books." ”

"That's it, that thing is too cold, just finished eating, let's talk about it later." Zeng Rong refused for Zeng Hua.

She was worried that Zeng Hua would collapse for a while, and the secret of the two sisters would not be able to be kept.

"No, the girl's family can't eat anything too cold." Seeing Zeng Rong's refusal, Ou's mother also thought it was not a good thing, and glared at her son.

"It's okay, it's not cold, I like the taste, it's sweet and sour." Zeng Hua became stubborn for some reason, and looked at Zeng Rong with a smile.

Zeng Rong sighed secretly, he wanted to order Ziluo to follow, but Zeng Hua refused, saying that it was inconvenient to take Ziluo with her, she was only nine years old, and outsiders would not say anything.

"Eldest sister, eldest sister, you just let me go with my second brother, when the second brother gets married, he won't hurt me anymore, I can't play with him if I want to." Zeng Hua shook Zeng Rong's arm and leaned on the small shop to be coquettish.

"Go ahead, remember, don't make trouble for your second brother." Zeng Rong hinted.

"What else are you worried about when I take her with you?" Ouyang Si didn't understand Zeng Rong's voice, and said with a big grin.

Zeng Rong looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and didn't move for a long time, and Ou Mu on the side explained with a smile: "Our Ah Si has always envied those families with brothers and sisters, especially if he wants a sister, he really likes Ah Hua, and told me that he finally has a sister who can make him pet and make him hurt, and also said that Ah Hua is very sensible, he can cook at a young age and clean up the house, I thought he could take care of this sister, but it was his sister who took care of him." ”

"But no, our Ahua is really sensible, and he usually helps me do things at home, they all say that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and my two younger sisters have suffered enough compared to the children of other people." Chan said.

Ou Mu and Ouyang Si's grandmother deeply felt the same way, and talked about the people and things in their hometown on this topic.

Zeng Rong didn't answer, she was more concerned about Zeng Hua, and she didn't know if she could control herself.

However, Zeng Rong's worries were soon interrupted by someone from the palace, and the emperor sent Xiao Quanzi to dictate a will, saying that it was a dowry on the eighth day of the fifth month, so that Zeng Rong was ready to prepare for the dowry.

Zeng Rong didn't know what the rules were for receiving the dowry, so he hurriedly sent Ah Chun to the Qian family and asked how they received the dowry back then.
