Xia Xiaomei looked inside the house, but she pulled Han Qi out,

"Good sister, I'm stuffy at home, it's rare to meet a sister who can speak, let's go out to eat tea and chat!"

Xia Xiaomei has a bold temperament, her speech and demeanor are generous, and her kung fu is really powerful when she meets people, and she is a person with a dull temperament like Han Qi, and it is inevitable to talk a lot when sitting with her, and the two of them chatting for an hour are quite unstoppable.

Han Qi saw that it was not early, and he really couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and said goodbye, and called the shopkeeper to come over to pay the bill, but he was told that Xia Xiaomei had already paid it, Xia Xiaomei smiled,

"This time, my sister came to the door, so naturally I asked for it, and next time I went to disturb my sister, I asked my sister to break the bill!"

Han Qi also smiled,

"It's so good, if Sister Xia is willing to come, I will sweep the couch to greet her!"

The two talked and laughed out of the tea house, and then broke up and went home.

When Han Xiu asked why he came back so late when he returned home, Han Qi smiled and said,

"But by chance, I met a sister surnamed Xia, who is a very good person!"

Han Xiu smiled when she heard this,

"It's rare for you to make friends with your temperament!"

The third child is shy and introverted, although she always purses her lips and smiles when she gets along with others, giving people a very kind feeling, but in fact, she is a somewhat indifferent person inside, and she is easy to make friends with others, so she can make friends, Han Xiu is a little surprised.

Han Qi smiled slightly,

"The ancients said at first sight, and it is also a kind of fate to think about it, and seeing that Sister Xia today really responded to this statement!"

The two sisters talked for a while, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Because Han Huiniang got married tomorrow, the Han Xiu sisters all took leave from their husbands, but they didn't have to rush early on the second day, but Han Qi had become a habit to read early, and she still got up before dawn to read, and waited until everyone got up to freshen up together, and after breakfast, she went to Han Mingde's house in a hurry.

At this time, the marriage is to worship the church at dusk, invite someone to see the auspicious time, and there will be a sedan chair to pick up at the end of the time, but Han Shifeng's family is a mother's family, and they need to pass the time, feast at their mother's house at noon, and then wait for the groom to pick up people.

Because there was Han Shi's family at the other end, he first sent a carriage to send people over, and then turned around and picked up Han Shifeng's family, and when he got the land, the courtyard was already very lively!

Han Mingde, like Han Shifeng, came to the capital from Tongzhou to be an official, so most of the relatives and friends of the Han family came from afar, and his wife Liu's maiden family was not in Beijing, but fortunately, Han Mingde made a lot of friends, mostly colleagues, friends, neighbors, etc., all of them were invited to this small courtyard to be crowded, and a banquet was also set up in the alley.

The four sisters of Han Xiu took two girls behind them, and were led to Han Huiniang's boudoir in the backyard, there were already many women in the boudoir who came to congratulate her, because of the large number of people, the small boudoir was very crowded, Han Xiu went in to congratulate her, Han Huiniang was too busy today but had no time to entertain them, so she had to call Han Zhenniang over, Han Zhenniang was also so busy that she saw sweat on her forehead, and when she saw Han Xiu, she smiled and said,

"The family is too small, the hall can allow the elders to sit, let's go to the courtyard!"

The backyard of Han Mingde's house is also small, and a few tables are placed for relatives at home, Han Zhenniang led the four sisters to find a place to sit down, took a handkerchief and wiped sweat again and again, and asked Han Jun if her makeup was spent, Han Jun hurriedly straightened the hair ornament on her head, Han Zhenniang smiled at Han Xiu,

"Sister embroidery must not be as busy as us, there are many sisters in the family, there are people to help, our brothers in this family are not married, only me and my mother in this backyard to entertain!"

Han Jun said with a smile,

"Aren't we your sisters, if you want help, just say it, what are you doing with us!"

Han Zhenniang laughed,

"Sister Jun still knows my mind!"

Han Jun immediately got up when he heard this,

"Even so, there is no need to be verbose, what do you have to tell you!"

Han Xiu also got up, but instructed Han Qi,

"Third sister, you send the fifth sister to your mother and come back to find us!"

Han Qi nodded and took Han Man's hand and went to the hall, this backyard is full of women, and the hall is full of older women, Wang is sitting there talking to acquaintances, and when he saw Han Qi coming, he smiled and asked,

"Where did your two sisters go?"

Han Qi replied with a smile,

"The eldest sister and the second sister are going to help, let me send the fifth sister over first and then go over!"

Wang nodded and asked Han Man to come over and sit down beside him,

"This is the great joy of your big sister Hui, your sisters should help, put the fifth child here with me, you can go by yourself!"

There was also a mother-in-law behind Wang, looking at Han Man, he was naturally not afraid that this person would be lost, Han Qi settled down and Han Man went over to find the two sisters, only halfway through, someone suddenly pulled her on the side,

"Sister of the Han family!"

Han Qi turned her head and saw a smiling face, the two small dimples were very delicate, they were actually Xia Xiaomei!

"Sister Xia, you ...... You're here too? ”

Xia Xiaomei smiled,

"The bride's father is my father's friend, so naturally he wants to come to eat and drink, and you ...... too"

Before he finished speaking, he immediately came back to his senses, this bride's surname is Han, and Han Qi is also surnamed Han, so she must be a relative, Han Qi smiled,

"Sister Hui is my cousin, and we are all from the Tongzhou Han clan!"

"Oh, I see!"

Xia Xiaomei asked her again,

"Where are you going?"

Han Qi responded,

"Let's look for my sisters in the back and see if there is anything I can help!"

Xia Xiaomei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly pulled her,

"I'll go too! Let me go with you! ”

Han Qi hesitated a little, and glanced at the place where Xia Xiaomei was originally sitting, but there was an elderly woman, looking at them with kind eyebrows, looking at them with a smile, Xia Xiaomei hurriedly pulled her forward,

"Mother, this is the sister of the Han family I mentioned earlier, don't look at her young age, but now she is studying in Chengsheng Academy!"

Han Qi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and called aunt, the Qin family had already heard her daughter talk about what was ahead, and immediately beckoned Han Qi to look in front of her, and said with a smile,

"The elder sister of the Han family came to the house before, but the aunt was not at home, if the second child of our family was rude, please don't be surprised!"

Hearing this, Han Qi hurriedly said,

"This matter is the fault of the little girl, and Brother Domeng is not to blame!"

Hearing this, the Qin family nodded and looked at her with a smile, there were dimples on the left and right cheeks that were exactly the same as those of her daughter, although she smiled kindly, only looking up and down made Han Qi a little shy, and at this moment Xia Xiaomei pulled her and said,

"Mother, I'll go to the back with the Han sister-in-law, and I'll look for you later!"

Anyway, he didn't care whether the Qin family should or not, so he pulled Han Qi and ran away!

When the two of them squeezed into the crowd, they stuck out their tongues at Han Qi and said,

"I've wanted to run away for a long time, that seat is full of ladies who like to be matchmakers, and they look at people like knives, as if they want to scrape off a layer of skin......"

As he spoke, he shook her hand and shook it a few times,

"Thank you sister for coming over to save me!"

Xia Xiaomei will be fourteen years old next month, and it's time to get married!

In Beijing, when the daughter's family reaches the age of marriage, she will be led around by her mother or eldest sister-in-law, one to show that there is a daughter to marry, and the other is to look at each other.

It seems that those princes and generals have a peach blossom banquet on the third day of March every year, a dragon lunch banquet on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, or a variety of scenic banquets held by the queen in the palace, etc., are to see each other through the banquet, like the daughters of these small officials and officials, naturally there is no so banquet to go, but there are also a lot of red and white ceremonies in the capital, and a lot of relatives can be called, with the daughter of the right age to come out, naturally someone will come forward to talk, relatives and friends are so pulled, the marriage is done!

Xia Xiaomei was also taken out to meet people by her mother Qin this time, she was the most impatient to be watched up and down as an object, sitting there and being asked about it, just when she was about to hold it back, she happened to see Han Qi, and immediately grabbed it like a life-saving straw.

Han Qi just laughed when he heard this,

"My daughter's family is going to get married when she is old, and my aunt is also for your good!"

Xia Xiaomei waved her hand in annoyance,

"I don't want to get married, what's so good about getting married!"

Han Qi just pursed her lips and smiled, and Xia Xiaomei pulled her head forward,

"Don't just laugh, look where your two sisters are, and what they look like? I've never seen it! ”

Han Qi took Xia Xiaomei to the back kitchen, and sure enough, she saw Han Xiu and Han Jun, who were counting the dishes, chopsticks, plates, etc., and wanted to distribute them to the next person and put them on the table.

Han Qi brought someone to introduce Xia Xiaomei to the two, Xia Xiaomei is a self-acquaintance, and when she came up, she was the eldest sister and the second sister, Han Xiu and Han Jun were also generous girls, the four of them quickly got acquainted, Xia Xiaomei looked left and right and couldn't help sighing,

"Your family is good, there are many sisters, I am the only one in our family, and I want to whisper to someone on weekdays and go out!"

Zhuan'er suddenly rolled his eyes and leaned over to ask Han Qi,

"Are your sisters engaged?"

Han Qi said with a smile,

"My eldest sister is engaged, and she will get married next year!"

Xia Xiaomei asked her again,

"Are you engaged?"

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the figure squatting in front of the academy to nibble on buns, blushing and shaking his head,

"Nope!"

Xia Xiaomei Daxi took her hand and said,

"I have two elder brothers in my family, the eldest brother already has a relationship, and the second brother has not yet decided to marry, otherwise you will marry into our family, so that I will have a companion in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, Han Qi's face turned even redder, and before he could speak, Han Jun on the side shouted,

"Wow! I'm still an honest person, but I didn't expect to beat my sister's idea! ”

Xia Xiaomei turned back to her and smiled,

"I like all your sisters, if Sister Qi refuses to marry, I will be just as happy as the second sister marry!"
