Chapter Seventy-Three: Mutual Treasure
The second lady of the county official pinched her handkerchief and said with a smile: "No, when my lord talks to those students, he doesn't always encourage them to study hard, but also often advises them to study in a relaxed way so that they can last a long time." ”
Where does the background board Yang understand this, Mrs. Guo asked, she had to smile and nod her head in agreement.
Mrs. Zhou shook her head: "There are classmates in the academy who often gather and play, and what book club have you recently joined, where will you really keep your head buried in hard study." ”
The second lady nodded, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked Mrs. Zhou: "If you want to say that your family is going to be crowned on Tuesday, some people are as old as him, how old is the baby, I used to concentrate on taking the Xiucai exam, but now that Xiucai has also been admitted, why don't you set a family affair for him?" ”
Here, Zhong Xiaohe keenly found that Guo Zixian's back was a little stiff at this time, and she was a little absent-minded when she spoke, afraid that she was using two things.
Mrs. Zhou smiled faintly again, but her answer was quite serious,
"Don't worry, I've already hugged my grandson, but I'm not in a hurry to marry him. His eldest brother is okay as a scribe now, but he can't go up to study for the imperial examination, and the third child is still young, so he can only watch the second child. Always work hard, it's okay to get married later, but I'm afraid of changing my temperament if I'm early. ”
When she said this, Mrs. Guo's smile stiffened slightly.
The county official's concubine didn't know what to say, and she was not easy to be a middleman, so she might have to make a fuss.
After a haha, he changed the topic and said, "Oh, what are we doing, our hands are already itchy, let's go touch a few handfuls and have a good time." ”
Mrs. Guo restrained her mood, hid a smile, and said busily: "Exactly." stood up and said to Guo Zixian: "Zixian, lead your sisters to play in the garden." ”
Miss Zixian didn't react for a while, she was still stunned by Mrs. Zhou's words just now.
Mrs. Guo's face was a little bad, and a maid next to her whispered to remind Guo Zixian, which made her react, she was busy, and her face was pretending to be calm.
Zhong Xiaohe felt in his heart, the purpose of his family coming here was already a point in his heart, green leaves, it's okay, I can bear it.
Obviously, the Guo family wants to get married, but this meeting is really a bit embarrassing, and the two families want to get married and mutter together? I have to make a mahjong game, this Mrs. Guo is really wonderful.
This week, Mrs. also replied without leaking, naturally, I am afraid that I don't know how many times I have said this reason before.
She didn't believe that Mrs. Zhou wouldn't be able to hear what the Guo family meant, she was afraid that Guo Zixian's enthusiasm and closeness had already been understood, but she just deliberately didn't understand.
Mrs. Guo led the ladies to the side, Guo Zixian led Zhong Xiaohe and Zhou Mingyu to the garden, and Zhong Xiaohe was the last.
Looking back, she found that Yang was at the end of her line, trying to minimize her presence.
Zhong Xiaohe was a little worried, don't hurt the pond fish.
Chiyu Yang seemed to feel something, and he was looking back at her, and the two of them made eye contact with each other, cherishing each other.
Ji Xiang followed Zhong Xiaohe's back, half-bowing his head, not daring to look around unscrupulously, his heart was timid and excited.
Looking at the official's wife up close, dressed exquisitely and magnificently, I felt that I was going to be blind, and then I looked at my own woman, who was more than gentle and kind, and there was no majesty, and there was a feeling of shrinking.
The dress and momentum of the Guo family's maids are not much better than that of the young lady, and the actions are orderly, only comparing themselves and their own young lady, they are all mud on the ground.
Ji Xiang secretly thought: There are still many things to learn and improve for his master and servant.
At this time, Guo Zixian was immersed in her own bad thoughts, and she didn't say a few words to the two of them, but Zhong Xiaohe, who was muddy on the ground, had the leisure to look at her house.
The Guo family's house is bigger than his own, and the depth is the same, only his house is made into three entrances, the last one is the back cover room, and the old Zhong family is a vegetable garden. Da is big to open an extra garden horizontally, walking in the alley outside, looking at the courtyard wall of Zhou Guo's two families is twice as long as their own, it turns out to be a place with one more garden.
No wonder, Lao Zhong can buy this place, and the co-authorship is high or low. The dislike of the rich and powerful is sandwiched in the middle, and the area is small, especially if you have no money to buy, which is a bit expensive.
In this garden, there are a few miscellaneous flowers. To tell the truth, the style is still relatively rough, not more delicate and exquisite than the southern garden, and in the north, the garden, in fact, is vigorous in those months, most of the time is dry and yellow. At this time, it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is getting cooler, and there is a gloomy atmosphere in the garden.
Just like Guo Zixian's mood at this time.
She instructed the girl beside her: "Tell the two sisters to come out to meet the guests, don't stay in the room all day." Then he smiled at the two of them: "Sister Mingyu, Miss Xiaohe, let's sit in the pavilion, there is a cool breeze here, and let the girls make some hot tea." ”
After speaking, he led the two into a pavilion inside.
Zhong Xiaohe felt that someone was poking his hand, and when he saw it, it turned out to be the yellow-haired girl Zhou Mingyu.
"Huh?"
"Zhong Xiaohe, is it?"
Zhong Xiaohe was stunned, yes, how many of these people have to ignore our mother, and they didn't officially introduce the next two juniors.
"Yes, your name is Zhou Mingyu?"
The little girl nodded, "How old are you?" ”
"Twelve, what about you?"
"I'm eleven."
This little girl has been looking at Zhong Xiaohe since she came in, but the elders are not in front of her, so she finally can't help it.
Zhou Mingyu had a tangled look on his face, as if he wanted to speak but it was difficult to speak.
Zhong Xiaohe ignored it directly, he likes to say it or not, and he is not used to this.
Sure enough, this girl saw that Zhong Xiaohe didn't take the initiative to ask, so she had to take the initiative to open her mouth, with a curious face, "I heard that you didn't understand anything before, and your mother called you back, really?" ”
"Well, it should be." It turns out that this thing is normal, who heard about it, and saw the main owner and was curious to ask.
Zhou Mingyu's eyes widened and exclaimed, "It's true, where did you know before the soul was called back?" ”
"I don't know."
"Didn't you understand anything when you just came back?"
"Hmm."
"How much do you use per meal?" Do you like to eat fatty meat? ”
Zhong Xiaohe glanced at Zhou Mingyu's bright and sparkling eyes, and her heart instantly became unhappy, and her face was also very ugly, why did this stinky girl not speak so much.
This question is asked, and the answer is not more, nor is it less, no matter how she answers, she will use it as a topic. Whether you eat fat or not is none of your business.
I also want to ask you, you have yellow hair, are you being mistreated by your family, and you drink it every day.
That Zhou Mingyu saw Zhong Xiaohe staring at him, his eyes were a little unfriendly, so he had to change the topic,
"Have you ever read a book?"
Zhong Xiaohe waited for a while before he replied slowly, "Hmm." ”
"Learn what?"
"A thousand words."
Zhou Mingyu laughed,
"Do you know what Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang means?"
"I don't know."
"Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang comes from the Book of Changes, do you know the Book of Changes?"
"I don't know." Anyway, it's up to you, I'm just going to talk to death.
Hey, Zhou Mingyu sighed, "You can't be considered a book, I Ching ......."
Zhong Xiaohe was a little stunned: ...... I really didn't expect it, it's so good to be a teacher.
After a while, the little demon fairy was still enthusiastically answering (showing off), and Zhong Xiaohe felt that his head was about to dizzy.
Guo Zixian watched from the sidelines, occasionally smiling, seemingly listening and participating. But his eyes are fluttering and he can't hide people, and he doesn't know what he's thinking in his head, so he probably wishes that Mingyu was having fun this week.
