An An stretched to get up, getting dressed while playing.

"Where's my sister?"

The personal maid Caidie smiled and said, "The big girl is reading a book in the house." Girl, the big girl has already freshened up, just waiting for you to have breakfast together! ”

The eldest girl gets up every day at dawn to finish her exercises, and then reads books and practices calligraphy, and she has never stopped all these years. On the other hand, my master has to urge me to get up every day, and it is useless to persuade him. Sometimes Caidie is worried, and the gap between the two sisters will get bigger and bigger. It's a pity that her own girl didn't listen to her.

The two went to the main courtyard after breakfast. Qingshu heard the sound of talking in the house outside, and knew that the Cui family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had arrived.

When he entered the house, Qingshu saw Cui Xueying leaning on the head of the bed. I saw that she was wearing an autumn-colored dress, with a dark red forehead on her head, and her complexion was very good.

Luo Shi looked at Qing Shu, who was wearing a Su embroidered Yuehua brocade dress, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, Qingshu, you have become beautiful again." ”

Qingshu smiled faintly: "Madame praised it." ”

Luo Shi looked at her cold attitude and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

She handed the child in her arms to Qingshu with a very gentle expression: "Qingshu, come, hug your brother." ”

An Anxin was very disdainful, and she didn't know about this and thought that their sisters were very close to her.

Cui's heart tightened.

Qingshu shook his head and said, "I haven't hugged the child, but I don't dare to hug it." ”

Cui Shi hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, give me your brother Yuan!" ”

After Luo put the child back to Cui's side, he said with a smile: "Qingshu, your mother gave birth to Brother Yuan this time with her life." Although the mother and child are fortunate to be safe, the body is too worn out and it takes a while to recover. As the eldest daughter in the family, you should help your parents share their worries. ”

An An's face was a little unsightly, which meant that he wanted them to move back in.

Moving back to live not only depends on Cui's face, but is likely to be restrained by her. It's a good idea, but it depends on whether they agree or not.

Qing Shu still had an impeccable smile on his face: "Madame said very much, Mrs. has worked hard to give birth to an heir for our Lin family. I'll talk to my dad about it later. ”

Cui's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he just wanted to open his mouth when he saw Luo's glaring. When it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Luo said: "Good boy, I know that you could not be more filial. Brother Yuan has a sister like you, which is a great blessing for him. ”

As he was talking, the maid outside said, "Madam, the eldest girl is back." ”

Du Shiya entered the door and saw Qingshu, and after greeting her, she went to look at Brother Yuan: "Ah, mother, why is my brother fat again?" No matter how fat you get, you're going to become a little pig. ”

After speaking, Du Shiya took out a red gold longevity lock from her sleeve and put it on Yuan Ge'er's neck.

Qingshu also gave the prepared gift, which was a jade buckle, and An An gave a pair of silver bracelets.

Cui Shi saw that the material of the jade buckle was ordinary, and his face was a little unpleasant: "Brother Yuan'er is your own brother, and you gave such a thing as a full moon gift?" ”

Qingshu said: "This is the peace buckle that I went to Huangqi Temple to ask for two days ago, and I hope that the Bodhisattva will bless Brother Yuan'er with peace and health for a lifetime." ”

An An couldn't bear it anymore this time, and said, "Madam, then what do you want me to give, a gold collar and a gold bracelet?" Then my father has to be willing to give me money. ”

Cui's face turned dark.

Qingshu smiled and said, "Mrs., take care of your body, I will go outside with An An to greet guests." ”

Lin Chengyu is Chinese New Year's Eve four years old today, and he is a veritable middle-aged child. Therefore, this full moon banquet not only invited classmates and friends, but also invited a lot of colleagues to come.

Seeing that the two were gone, Du Shiya hurriedly put down her brother and said, "Mother, aunt, cousin, I also went out to greet guests." ”

Walking out of the house, Du Shiya took An An's hand and said, "My mother has that temperament, don't worry about her." ”

An An broke free of her hand and snorted coldly: "If I want to deal with her, I will die of anger sooner." ”

Qingshu said: "An An, it's okay to make trouble at home on weekdays, but there are many guests today, you can't be rude." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I know."

Luo Shi also found an excuse to pay the Huang family, and then said: "Qingshu is fourteen years old this year, An An is also eleven years old, even if you don't care what outsiders say, for the sake of your brother-in-law and brother Yuan, you have to let their sisters move back." ”

Cui didn't want the two sisters to move back in. If they want to come back to live, not only will they not have a good life for her, but they are also likely to bring their brother with them.

Seeing her like this, Luo Shi lowered his voice and said: "The seventh prince and the eighth prince have reached the age of marriage, and the second prince and the fifth prince still have a place for a side concubine. I've heard rumors that the emperor may order a draft. ”

Cui's face was shocked, but soon she said: "Her girl is going to climb the high branches, won't I have to live by watching her face in the future." ”

She would never do this kind of thing.

Luo had already guessed that she was reacting in this way, and she was ready to say: "She is now working in Wenhuatang and earning a lot of money, so she doesn't have to rely on you." But if you marry the prince and be locked up in the inner house every day in the future, you will not be able to rely on your mother's family if you have something in the future. ”

Outside, Lin Qingshu can be like a fish in water, thanks to the Wu family and the Feng family. But if they marry the prince and are trapped in the back house, how can the Wu family still meddle. That Lin Qingshu is equivalent to being clipped, and he can't fly anymore, and only Lin Chengyu can rely on in the future.

Cui's heart was a little moved, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

"I know you don't like her, but if she is assigned to marry in the future, then she will only be able to stay at home for two years at most." ”

"Xue Ying, brother-in-law's situation, if there is no one to help him, it will be difficult to go further. But if Qingshu marries the prince, it may not be, with this relationship, the brother-in-law will definitely be able to rise to the top. My brother-in-law is good, and my brother will be fine in the future. ”

The latter sentence touched Cui Xueying, and she said, "I'll discuss it with the master later." ”

Luo Shi hummed and said, "This matter should be sooner rather than later. ”

Lin Chengyu sent more than 20 invitations this time, and more than half of the guests came, and the servants who didn't come also gave gifts.

The male guests were entertained by Lin Chengyu himself, and the female guests were received by Qingshu and An An.

By noon, after sending all the guests away, An An returned to the house and collapsed on the bed: "It's all gone, I'm really tired." ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "Then you take a nap, and when you wake up, we will go back to Plum Blossom Lane." ”

"I'm not sleepy right now." After finishing speaking, he got up and sat next to Qingshu, An An said: "Sister, you said that Mrs. Wu's face is really big, and her son is just a showman who is praised by him as if he is descending from the sky." ”

The Mrs. Wu An said was the wife of Wu Langzhong, the Qing envoy of the Ministry of Industry, and a former colleague of Lin Chengyu.

Qingshu didn't care, and said, "She said her, just don't put it in your ears." ”
