After a while, Zhuo Yuan, Zhuo Li and Zhuo Cheng went down, and the second wife arranged dinner and asked people to come over to spread the word.

The Zhuo family is not small, and the three men in the family are officials in the same dynasty, which is unique in the entire Dalang court.

During the meal, the old lady, the two old men and Zhuo Xiao sat at a table, and the four girls sat at a table. Lin and Li served the old man with vegetables, and the old lady sent a message to them to eat by themselves, and then the two went back to the girl's table and sat down.

The Zhuo family has a rule that food is not spoken, and there is only the collision of chopsticks and dishes and the slight sound of chewing when eating.

After eating, the next person put away the tables and chairs, the old lady went to the back room to change clothes and freshen up, the old lady of the two rooms sat in the hall and waited to report the big and small things in the family for the past three months, and the children stood in the courtyard to breathe.

There was a voice of talking in the hall, and Zhuo Li briefly talked about the situation in the palace during this time, and the matter of Yu Pei has come to an end, so that everyone does not have to worry, no matter how big this case is, it has nothing to do with the Zhuo family.

Zhuo Ruobing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this under the corridor.

She is a cautious character, this jade pendant is worn on her body, since her father and sister entered the palace, she has been unable to sleep and eat, in less than a month, the already thin person has lost weight again.

Everyone sighed a few words, and the second wife talked about the arrangements for the old lady's birthday on April 20: "...... The posts have been written, and I will ask someone to take them to the study for a while, and the old lady and the two masters will see if there is anything to add or subtract. ”

Lin said: "It should have been posted last month, the master and Nian Nian entered the palace and never came back, rumors are rife outside, this post is sent out, I don't know if the people who usually come and go will have concerns." ”

Zhuo Li: "The old lady is ordered to celebrate her birthday, and the post is sent as it is, and it is their business whether to come or not." ”

Second wife: "I originally wanted to take the opportunity of the old lady's birthday to invite a few wives with school-age children to get together, but because of this, it is not easy to speak." ”

Aunt Jiang brought the tea out with a tray, and Zhuo Xiao was about to take it, but when she heard this, she was so frightened that her hands trembled, and the tea almost spilled out.

The girls laughed when they saw his reaction.

I only heard the second master say: "Brother Xiao is going to participate in the Autumn Festival in August this year, and he has no time to read well outside in the past few years, so let him prepare for the exam in the remaining months." Didn't you distract him by letting those little girls come to the house? ”

Lin laughed and teased: "With our Xiao Ge'er's talents, there is no need to post, someone will come to the door." When I was in Pujiang, my wife often came to my house to ask, but I didn't dare to say this. ”

Zhuo Xiao's face was slightly red, and he turned his head to see Zhuo Ruoning staring at a pair of big black crystal-like eyes, tilting his head to look at him curiously, and feigning anger: "What is on my face?" What are you looking at? ”

Zhuo Ruoning raised the corners of her mouth in embarrassment and politeness, "Second brother, how old are you this year?" ”

Zhuo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "How old am I and you have forgotten?" ”

Zhuo Ruozhen smiled and helped her out: "The second brother will turn seventeen years old on August 15 this year, don't forget to prepare gifts, and the second brother will come to pick them up in person when the time comes." ”

Zhuo Ruoning nodded, thinking that the people here were really precocious, and the seventeen-year-old boy would talk about marriage. She couldn't help but glance at the eldest sister, who was older than the second brother, and she didn't know why she hadn't married yet.

I only heard the second wife say again: "Sister Li'er, it's time to look at each other......"

Lin: "I don't know much about the situation in Nanjing all the year round, so do my younger siblings know which family has a suitable son?" ”

They whispered this, but it reached the ears of a few people outside.

Zhuo Ruoling's eyes turned on Zhuo Ruoling's face, and seeing her slightly pale face, she sneered and said, "The reputation of the Zhuo family girl is like this, which good boy dares to go up?" ”

Zhuo Ruoning didn't understand the situation at all, and when she heard her say this, she asked ignorantly: "What is our reputation?" ”

Zhuo Ruoling looked like an idiot: "Are you knowingly asking, or are you really stupid?" ”

Zhuo Ruoning: "? ”

Zhuo Ruoling was made lose her temper by her innocent appearance, and was about to teach her a few words, but Zhuo Ruoling stopped her: "Niannian is sick and hasn't recovered yet, so don't stimulate her." ”

Aunt Jiang said while sharing the tea: "The fourth girl has wronged the third girl, she and the fifth girl have already been engaged, no matter how bad the reputation of the Zhuo family girl is, they have nothing to worry about." It's you, so well-behaved and sensible, you are famous, I don't know if the eldest lady will bother to find a good family for you. ”

Before Zhuo Ruozhen could speak, Zhuo Xiao next to her became angry: "Aunt Jiang, is it appropriate to say this in front of several girls?" ”

Aunt Jiang forgot that there was still a second son for a while, and hurriedly bowed her head to admit her mistake.

Zhuo Ruoling whispered: "The crazy thing about thinking about the loss of heart has spread all over the city, and I have written such poems and words, and now others think that our Zhuo family's girls' knowledge is fake." ”

Zhuo Xiao frowned: "It's really fake, it's not been a day or two since you dealt with these ladies and ladies in the capital, didn't they count it in their hearts?" Why don't you know how to maintain it when you hear people slander your sister? ”

Aunt Jiang immediately helped Zhuo Ruoling argue: "Second son, you just came back and don't know, the poems written by the fifth girl have been spread all over the capital, in black and white, how can the third girl maintain it?" ”

Zhuo Ruobing saw that there was a dispute here, and walked over and said cautiously: "Niannian's writing is the best, this time I was deceived, right?" The limerick doesn't look like her work at all. ”

Zhuo Ruozhen glanced up at the eldest sister: "Maybe it's a limerick poem made up casually by Nian Nian and the county lord, but that word really doesn't look like the word of the fifth sister." ”
