Chapter Forty-Six: Grandfather's Birthday
In the west corner of the Moon Shadow Xuan, Zhuo Ruoling sat under the south window to play a tie, Zhuo Ruoling twisted his small waist and walked to the window, leaned on the window sill and said: "That Xiao Geng General is really interesting, he was clamoring to withdraw from the marriage a while ago, this is a slap in the face, the fifth sister has only been back for a few days, and he has been running to Zhuo's house all the way." ”
Zhuo Ruozhen knew that she just wanted to stir up trouble, and she liked to look at people uncomfortable, so she didn't even raise her eyelids, and chuckled: "Isn't that good?" If the third sister is envious, ask Tang Gongzi to come often. ”
"You ......" Zhuo Ruoling was dumbfounded, and then said: "I heard that the emperor is going to give them a marriage, as long as the holy decree of marriage is given, this marriage will be nine out of ten, right?" ”
"The third sister said cautiously, the holy decree has not been issued yet, and if you vain the holy will, you will go to prison."
Zhuo Ruoling has never been able to bargain in front of this fourth sister, but she is used to it, she is so quick to speak for a while, she can be disgusted and disgusting, she is also in a good mood, turned around to leave, thought about it and turned back and said: "Fourth sister, why don't you go with me to listen to what they say, I have been talking for a long time, how can I have so much to say." ”
Zhuo Ruozhen put down the rope and said solemnly: "Third sister, eavesdropping on other people's words is not something that everyone should do. If you want to know what they said, wait for the fifth sister to come back and ask her directly. ”
"Hmph, you can pretend." Zhuo Ruoling shook off the silk scarf and left with hatred.
"Fourth girl, don't listen to the third girl's provocation, I just passed by the main courtyard, guess what I heard?"
Zhuo Ruozhen gave her an expressionless look: "Didn't you let you go?" ”
"I went to Chang's mother to get the fabric, and I accidentally heard it." He'er said aggrievedly, and after waiting for a while to see Zhuo Ruozhen's face soften, she leaned over and said carefully: "The fifth girl discussed with General Xiao Geng, if the emperor really gave her a marriage, she will play a "contract adjustment plan" with you, and then let you marry her to the Hou Mansion, what do you say she wants to do?" ”
Zhuo Ruozhen was stunned for a moment, stood up and said, "Nonsense, what did Geng Kan say?" ”
General Xiao Geng also said that she had some bad ideas, none of which were useful, and she was angry and left. What's wrong with the fifth girl, hasn't she always been very nervous about General Xiao Geng, for fear of being robbed? ”
If it was before, Zhuo Ruozhen couldn't figure it out, since he knew that Zhuo Ruoning was careful about Xu Jinchen, all these changes had an answer.
Although it is a good thing that the sensitive and mean fifth sister does not trouble her, if she falls in love with Xu Jinchen, this matter is really serious, and Zhuo Ruozhen can't help but worry about her.
On April 20, Mrs. Zhuo was ordered to hold a birthday banquet, and the Zhuo family prepared for a few months, the house was redecorated, new tables, chairs and benches were purchased, and the whole family changed into new clothes.
Zhuo Ruoning received the arrangement early that she would entertain guests with her sisters on the day of the birthday banquet.
The second brother of the family was at the age of looking at the girl, and the second wife took the opportunity to post to the lady who had a marriageable daughter.
Although the Zhuo family is not a rich and noble family, it is a famous scholarly family in the Dalang Dynasty, and Zhuo Xiao is famous.
After receiving this task, Zhuo Ruoning was looking forward to it and nervous, she used to be bullied in school because she was out of sync with her peers, so she didn't go to school seriously for a few days, and mixed with the experts in the institute all day long, and when she came back to her senses, there were only middle-aged and elderly people left.
She is really eager to make friends with young people to make up for the lack of adolescence, but the tricks of the little girls are difficult to guard, and she is not good at dealing with such complex interpersonal relationships.
On her birthday the day before the banquet, she and her sisters dressed up early in the morning and went to Weixian Hall to kowtow to her grandfather to celebrate his birthday. There were not many guests who came on this day, they were all gifts from various families, and no little girls came.
On the second day, the flowing water banquet sang a big opera, the guests were full of people, and she was bustling with people, and she was stunned when she saw so many people.
Fortunately, there are several sisters in front, and she just needs to be a little tail and listen to the command.
On this day, Zhuo Ruoning wore a garnet red woven gold floral satin square-mouth stand-up collar armor, a white middle coat, a water-red threaded skirt, and a small ingots bun on her head.
Old lady Zhuo sat happily on the chair of the big master in the main hall, and people came to congratulate him on his birthday one after another.
The first ones were all students of the old lady and the eldest master, and they were tired to look at all kinds of compliments and etiquette from Wen Zou Zou.
Not only is the house lively, but there is also a roller shutter pergola in the courtyard, and the Lin family entertains several ladies and daughters to sit outside drinking tea and eating melons and fruits, talking affectionately, while the second wife is busy and responsible for arranging the banquet to eat.
The eldest sister brought all the little girls who were guests to the Moon Shadow Pavilion, and the other sisters beckoned to eat tea and fruits, and the same age had a common topic, and they soon became acquainted.
A little girl noticed the velvet flowers on the heads of the Zhuo sisters and said that they were beautiful and playful, and the third sister taught them how to do it; After a while, they talked about the recent fashionable patterns, and the four sisters spread out thick cardboard under the south window and drew with them; After a while, someone proposed to use foil to make Huadian...... The girls were all the best together, and they were doing all sorts of things and doing interesting things, and no one was deliberately crowding anyone.
Zhuo Ruoning is relatively petite and ignorant because of her long-term illness, and the girls, no matter how big or small, subconsciously treat her as a sister, take care of her everywhere, and make her happy like a little hamster, running around in several rooms, only then do you understand what it is like to make friends.
After a while, the eldest sister brought the little girl over again, and beckoned to Zhuo Ruoning: "Niannian, you come with me." ”
Zhuo Ruoning hurriedly put down the Hua Tian in her hand, ran to her and asked, "Big sister, what do you need me to do?" ”
Zhuo Ruobing stared at her and said with a strange expression: "The third prince of the Chengguo Mansion is here, saying that he has a problem and wants to ask you." ”
Zhuo Ruoning thought for a long time before turning the corner: "Oh, it's Liu Yong, I heard that he is obsessed with arithmetic, so he should ask math questions." ”
The eldest sister straightened the velvet flowers on her head and told her: "There are several sons in the West Cross Courtyard, after all, you have a marriage contract with General Xiao Geng, don't stay too long." ”
Zhuo Ruoning nodded hurriedly, hugged her arm and grinned: "Big sister, I like the guests who came today, they are much more interesting than the county lord and Xi Rong." ”
Zhuo Ruobing scratched the tip of her nose with her fingers lovingly, "If you make a caring little sister, you can send them a post, and you can invite them to play at home next time." ”
The two of them had already arrived at the main courtyard while talking, and the play had already begun, babbling and singing, and the ladies listened to it fascinated.
The eldest sister asked her to go to the West Cross Courtyard by herself, and she also had to greet the guests.
