Chapter 2 Anchovy

Hearing this, Hongshuan's eyes rolled and said, "I'll continue to stare here tomorrow." As soon as the man comes out, I will go and call you. As for the appearance of that person, I saw that the clairtelescope used by the uncle was gilded, thicker than the one in your hand, and it could be put away. Why don't you send someone to talk to the big shopkeeper in Beijing, and ask him to bring a letter to the uncle, and bring you another clairvoyant mirror like the one in the uncle's hand? ”

Wang Xi couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

The uncle of the red silk is Wang Xi's half-brother Wang Chen.

The eldest brother is seventeen years older than her. Before she was born, her eldest brother had already started to follow her father in business, and he was shrewd and capable, and he was the recognized heir to the family. Although her mother is more than ten years younger than her father, she was favored after marrying her father, and later gave birth to a son, neither her father nor her mother wanted to shake her eldest brother's inheritance, so their brother and sister relationship was very good. And because she was only two years older than the eldest brother's eldest son, the eldest brother treated her almost like a daughter, and sometimes doted on her more than her father. She didn't dare to ask her father for anything, but she dared to ask her eldest brother.

Wang Xi instructed Hongxi: "You go and talk to Wang Xi and let him meet the big shopkeeper." ”

Wang Xi is her nursing brother.

This time when I came to the capital, in addition to the personal maid and Wang Xi, her nurse Wang Mama and the two little maids also followed into the house.

Bai Guo naturally couldn't let the red silk come so nonsense, she persuaded Wang Xi in a gentle tone: "We came to the capital from Shuzhong and walked for almost two months, and when the uncle got the letter, he sent us the things, and most of the year has passed." Maybe the eldest lady is ready to go home. Instead of asking the big shopkeeper to bring a letter to the uncle, it is better to let the big shopkeeper help keep an eye on it and see if you can buy a clairvoyant mirror in the capital that is the same as the uncle's hand. ”

Wang Xi felt that what Bai Guo said made sense, and praised her for being careful, and asked her to send a message to Wang Xi.

Bai Guo smiled and responded "yes", but when she went out, she dragged the red silk out, grabbed her ear and whispered: "Miss, child's heart, you also coax!" Do you know where this is? But if there is a little bit of the eldest lady in the house, I will pick your skin! ”

When she came, the eldest lady handed over several of their maids to Bai Guoguan, and if they were disobedient, Bai Guo really had the right to dispose of them.

Hongsu shrunk her shoulders, didn't dare to resist, and only dared to beg for mercy in a whisper: "Sister Baiguo, didn't I watch the eldest lady unhappy these days and want to coax her to be happy?" ”

"Even if that's the case, you can't instigate the eldest lady to peep at other people's sword dances! Dare to climb and pull the uncle, I think you are dying! Bai Guo said.

What's more, the sword dancer was still a young man.

Although Hongsilk is a person who specializes in having fun with the eldest lady, it is too nonsense. If you don't teach her a lesson, you don't know what trouble will happen in the future.

Thinking of this, she twisted her red silk ears heavily: "Next door is the mansion of the eldest princess of Baoqing!" Since that man appeared in the inner courtyard of the eldest princess of Baoqing, he was definitely not an idle person. Didn't the house's discipline grandmother tell you before you came to the capital? Princess Bao Changcheng is the only sister of the emperor today, and she is married to Chen Yu, the former military governor of the Five Military Governor's Mansion and the Duke of Zhenguo, even if the Marquis of Yongcheng meets him, he must be respectful and respectful, and give three points, you dare to let the eldest lady peek into their backyard! Are you blinded by lard! I don't think it's good to take care of your nature, you don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is! ”

Red silk was in pain, knowing that if he didn't answer well, he might not be able to pass the test, so he covered his ears and argued: "It's the eldest lady who said, we should come to the mountains and rivers to see what the capital looks like and go back, I'm just ......."

Ginkgo was taken aback.

The Wang family is rich, the eldest lord is the speaker of the Wang family, the eldest lady is the only daughter of the eldest lord, and the people in Shu feel that the eldest lady is the golden man inlaid with hundreds of treasures, and I don't know how many people want to fight the eldest lady's idea. The eldest lady was dazzled and exhausted by those endless courting methods, so she thought that there was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the capital, and the powerful were like cow hair, and the eldest lady's background was not obvious here, maybe she could find a good family, so she simply asked the old lady of the Hou Mansion to help and draw a red line for the eldest lady.

The eldest lord didn't think so, thinking that the Wang family couldn't protect a young lady?

The eldest lady was so angry that she mentioned the fifth aunt: "If you don't help her out with the three thousand taels of gold, I'm afraid she won't be able to reconcile with the fifth aunt smoothly, right?" ”

The eldest lord also argued: "That's because my second uncle is too stingy, and he has too little dowry for my fifth aunt and grandmother!" ”

The eldest lady trembled with anger: "If it weren't for your words, wouldn't those people with ulterior motives stare at our girl?" ”

The eldest lord didn't dare to say any more, so he had to agree to let the eldest lady come to the capital.

Bai Guo thought that they would stay in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion until the young lady came out of the pavilion. What I didn't expect was that the eldest lady, who usually helps the eldest lady to scold the eldest master, is on the eldest master's side this time.

She felt that her top priority was to talk to the eldest lady about this matter and find out what the eldest lady thought as soon as possible.

Bai Guo absentmindedly let go of the red silk: "I believe you for the time being, if you commit it again, you will not be spared!" ”

Red Silk escaped death and plucked Bai Guo's shoulder.

Bai Guo couldn't cry or laugh, and told her: "Since I have received this errand, I have to do it well, and I will help the eldest lady to watch the movement next door, don't displease the eldest lady." ”

Red silk repeats promises.

Bai Guo let her go to the backyard to play with Wang Xi, and went to Wang Xi to talk to her.

It's just that she just walked out of the hanging flower gate of the garden, but she met Mama Wang and Mrs. Hou, the most powerful Mama Pan.

Both of them were smiling, followed by a little maid holding a copper basin.

That Mama Pan greeted her even more from a distance: "Isn't this the Baiguo girl next to Miss Biao?" I haven't seen it for a few days, but it's getting more and more beautiful! ”

Bai Guo was confused.

This Mama Pan had not been so enthusiastic about them before.

She didn't show it on her face, smiled and greeted Mama Pan, and while greeting her, "Why do you have time to come here today", she quickly glanced at Mama Wang.

Mama Wang smiled and winked at her, signaling that she didn't have to worry.

And Mama Pan had already taken Bai Guo's hand and said, "Isn't it the season to eat anchovies?" Someone sent two anchovies, our wife thought that Miss Cousin came from Shuzhong, and she must not be very accustomed to eating here, so she specially asked me to bring it over to add a dish to Miss Table, and see how Miss Cousin wanted to eat, so I stared at the kitchen and sent it over. ”

This is to compensate their eldest lady, isn't it?

The mother-in-law on the stove of the Hou Mansion was still high after being rewarded, and the food sent to their eldest lady was still not careful, so they simply asked the big shopkeeper of the Beijing branch to help buy two mothers-in-law who were good at cooking Sichuan cuisine to serve in the house.

Mrs. Hou heard the wind and felt embarrassed?

Bai Guo pondered in his heart, but said politely: "Let Mrs. Hou bother." When you see Mrs. Hou, I have to thank our eldest lady for you. Mrs. Hou takes a lot of care of our young lady, and our young lady takes it to heart, but I have to accompany Mrs. Hou in the past two days, and I don't have time to make a special trip to thank Mrs. Hou, and please don't blame Mrs. Hou! ”

Several ladies in charge of the Hou Mansion are still very good to their eldest lady, especially Mrs. Tai and the eldest aunt and grandmother who are far away in Jinling, one of them cares and takes care of them everywhere as if they are their own granddaughters, and they also took them to the temple to pray for God and worship Buddha, bless the eldest lady with safety and smoothness, and send a lot of things all the way over. It's just that among the subordinates of the Hou Mansion, there are always people who are high and low, and have no eyes.

However, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. This is also a common problem of the Zhongding family, and it is not too important.

Bai Guo and Mama Pan exchanged a few more words, and then they dispersed.

*

The pear blossoms in the backyard of Qingxue Garden are like the first snow pressing the branches, and they are white.

Wang Xi wore a narrow sleeved jacket with ten kinds of brocade dark patterns woven in bean green, and kicked the shuttlecock under the pear tree with red silk.

The golden morning light leaked through the shadows of the trees, and reflected on her red face, which was a little brighter than that spring day.

Mama Pan, who followed Mama Wang to brush flowers through the branches, looked stunned for a long time before coming back to her senses.

She remembered that when she first met Wang Xi, Wang Xi was wearing a gorgeous Shu embroidered skirt and a black mink shawl, and was surrounded by a group of maids and women who walked in front of her.

In the middle of the golden jewel fell a ruby, the size of a goose egg, heavy but pearlescent, making people unable to take their eyes off.

Mama Pan couldn't even see her face clearly.

I didn't expect Wang Xi, who had taken off her gorgeous clothes, to be so beautiful, like a delicate flower.

Looking at it like this, it is really four or five points similar to the aunt and grandmother in their house!

Mama Pan smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to salute her.

Wang Xi twisted around and kicked the shuttlecock to the side of the red silk, but he stood still under the pear tree, stretched out his hand to the little maid holding hot water and a handkerchief next to him, and smiled and nodded at Mama Pan.

The little girl next to her lowered her eyebrows and gave Wang Xi a hot handkerchief with both hands.

Wang Xi took the handkerchief, wiped his hands, and then asked Mama Pan: "Why are you here?" What's the point of looking for me? ”

This style is not like a young lady but like a young master.

Mama Pan's heart was inexplicably slightly tense, and her expression was unconsciously a little solemn, and she said it again with a smile.

Wang Xi didn't think much about it.

When she was very young, her father told her that she would be able to drop ten times.

You only need to use your brain when you are at the same level.

Different levels, just look at whose strength is greater.

And Mama Pan and her are obviously not on the same level.

Whatever Mama Pan said literally, she listened to.

She threw the handkerchief to the little maid beside her, and beckoned the little maid with the copper basin over.

The two anchovies raised in the copper basin are no more than half a foot long, and the scales are bright and shiny, and they are very energetic.

Wang Xi stretched out his tender white fingers and stirred them in the water.

The two fish shook their heads and tails, almost jumping out of the copper basin.

Wang Xi pursed her lips and smiled, took the little maid's hot handkerchief and wiped her hands again, and then smiled and asked Mama Pan to thank Mrs. Hou for her, and said, "It's not necessary to stare at it and send it over." The mother-in-law on the stove in my house is okay to cook, so let them be busy. ”

Is this disgusting for the craftsmanship of the mother-in-law on the stove in their house? Or do you feel neglected?

Mama Pan's face was hot, and she explained for a long time: "It's all my negligence, Mrs. Hou just found out, and she has already gone to discuss with Mrs. Tai what to do." ”

The mother-in-law on the stove was Mrs. Tai's companion, otherwise she wouldn't dare to be so bold.
