Chapter 16: Congratulations, Master

What can Aunt Mei say? Nature is accommodating. I just don't know why Tan Ruyi asked her to stay, and I can't help but worry.

Zhou said: "Since Xue Qing also feels good, it will be decided like this, and when the master returns home, I will talk to him." ”

Tan Ruyi's wish was fulfilled, and he jumped up with a "whoosh", hugged Zhou tightly, and his eyes lit up: "Mother! I knew you loved me the most! ”

Zhou's self-righteousness, not used to being so close to his daughter in front of people, patted Tan Ruyi's back a little uncomfortably, and said to Aunt Mei: "Such an adult, it's not qualitative, like a monkey." ”

Aunt Mei said with a smile: "The third miss is very steady every day, not as good as our fifth miss, she is like a greedy monkey all the time." ”

Tan Youyou was playing with the little parrot raised by the Zhou family, and when he heard this, he said, "Why did the monkey provoke you?" Always compare our sisters to monkeys. ”

Tan Ruyi rushed towards her and hugged her tightly: "Fifth sister, blame me for dragging you down." ”

Tan Youyou smiled: "The third sister is so polite today, but it's just a joke, what is not a drag." ”

Tan Ruyi leaned her chin on her shoulder and whispered, "Yoyo, among the sisters in our family, I like you the most." ”

"I also like the third sister the most." Tan Youyou hugged Tan Ruyi back and chattered with her: "Are the broken crispy buns delicious?" Wait until the crab is cooked, let's make crab roe buns and eat~"

Mrs. Zhang smiled: "Mrs. and aunt, you see how good these sisters are." ”

Zhou also smiled: "Sister, can it be bad?" ”

Aunt Mei smiled faintly and lowered her eyes to hide her thoughts.

Prince Fu was really concerned about this marriage, and sent a reply the day after receiving the message, and even set the way, time, and place for the two parties to meet.

The person who came was Mrs. Bamber, the eldest sister-in-law of Princess Fu.

Mrs. Qi married in before the Qi family was developed, and she came from an ordinary background, and she never lost her original simplicity after becoming rich and noble, and she got along with the Zhou family every day.

She first apologized for the previous poetry event, and then praised the children and family style of the Tan family, and saw that Zhou's face was good-looking, so she said: "I heard that Master Lonely will hold a banquet and give a lecture in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple on the eighth day of the first month of next month, why don't we go and listen to it together?" ”

Master Shan Ran is a famous monk of the dynasty, three years ago he traveled to Autumn City, because he likes the local cool climate and simple folk customs, so he stayed in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Because of poor health, it is rare to hold a feast and give lectures, so it is a grand event.

For such a grand event, it is not abrupt for two families to travel together.

Zhou nodded in response: "In this case, there is Mrs. Lao's arrangement." ”

"As it should be." Mrs. Qi said goodbye with a smile, and the Zhou family sent her outside the door, and when she came back, she saw Aunt Qian and Aunt Cui guarding the door of the main courtyard.

Aunt Qian is an indomitable character, the kind that does not grow a wise man after eating a trench, and after saluting, she went straight to the point: "Mrs., I heard that I am going to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to listen to Master Shanran's lectures?" Can we go together? The concubine wanted to ask for a signature for the fourth lady. ”

Aunt Cui smiled shyly: "Miss Six was sick before, and the concubine made a wish for her in front of the Buddha, and it is time to repay the wish." ”

Zhou glanced at the two of them indifferently, and said lightly: "Go." ”

Aunt Qian and Aunt Cui were so happy that they thanked each other and went back to the room to prepare.

Zhou asked Mrs. Zhang: "Why don't you see Aunt Mei?" ”

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "When she got up early from the peach branch, my aunt was infected with the wind and cold, so she was not very comfortable. Because the distinguished guest came to the door, the old slave didn't have time to tell his wife. ”

"Sick?" Zhou smirked: "She's really careful." ”

Mrs. Zhang exaggeratedly covered her mouth and whispered: "Madam, is Aunt Mei afraid of ......?"

Zhou said calmly: "She's afraid that I will calculate her sweetheart, so I'll go and see her." ”

Left across the courtyard.

Aunt Mei leaned on the head of the bed and closed her eyes to recuperate, Tan Youyou sat aside and told jokes, she imitated the tones and expressions of different characters, chattering, and one person just made up the effect of a table of people, so it was not lively.

Zhou Shi looked outside, and couldn't help but say: "I really obeyed your mother and daughter, one closed his eyes and recuperated and didn't say a word for half a day, and the other talked to himself, and he didn't stop breathing for half a day, and he could hold on for so long." ”

Tan Youyou hurriedly stopped the performance, got up and saluted, still smiling, heartless: "Hello to my wife, why are you here?" ”

Zhou pressed Aunt Mei, who was about to get up and salute, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "Come and see you, do you need to ask for a doctor?" ”

Aunt Mei said: "But I feel cold occasionally, so I don't need to invite you." If necessary, the concubine will ask for a wife. ”

"Xue Qing, you and I don't need this word." Zhou said calmly: "Just now I made an appointment with Mrs. Qi of Banbo Mansion on the eighth day of the next lunar month, and the two families went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to listen to Master Shanran's lecture. Aunt Qian and Aunt Cui both want to go, you are here, whatever you want. ”

She said calmly, but Aunt Mei was a little embarrassed: "It's still early." ”

"I want you to know what to expect." Zhou left another cup of tea, and talked to Aunt Mei for a while, until she came to report that Tan Tongzhi had returned home, and she left.

After closing the courtyard door, Tan Youyou asked Aunt Mei: "Auntie, is this a heart disease?" Afraid that I will be calculated by my wife and third sister? My wife is here to tell us that this is not going to happen? ”

Aunt Mei glanced at her: "I'm worried that you only care about eating, and you will help count the money when you are sold." Doesn't it look stupid now? ”

Tan Youyou smiled: "I was born and raised by you, how can I be so stupid?" ”

"Not necessarily." Aunt Mei stopped talking and continued to close her eyes to recuperate, she was really sick.

When the lamp was in charge, Tan Youyou helped Aunt Mei wash up and clean up, and was about to arrange for her to sleep, when the scumbag father came.

Tan Tongzhi was full of spring breeze, his steps were brisk, and he coaxed Tan Youyou first: "Good daughter has worked hard, you go play for a while, I will take care of your aunt." ”

Tan Youyou said in her heart, my aunt may not be happy to let you serve, but when she saw Aunt Mei nodding at her, she had to say a few warm words and obediently went back to the room.

Tan Tongzhi turned the lamp on a little brighter, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and showed it to Aunt Mei like a treasure: "Xueqing, what do you think this is?" ”

But it is a pair of ruby-inlaid plum blossom earrings, which just fit Aunt Mei's surname, the thing is not big, it is rare to have fine workmanship, unassuming but exquisite, which is very in line with Aunt Mei's identity.

Aunt Mei thanked her, stared at Tan Tong and knew: "Is the master happy?" ”

Tan Tongzhi put the earrings on her with his own hands, and his eyes smiled like a crescent moon: "The one who knows me best, Xue Qingye!" Today, the prince of Fuwang went to me and told me that as long as this family affair can be completed, he can help me become the prefect of Qiucheng and let Lao Liang's dog get out! ”

The light was reflected in Aunt Mei's eyes, flickering and flickering, and it took a long time before she said, "Congratulations, master." ”
