Chapter 120
Early in the second morning, the ladies of the Yu family, led by Yu Min, gathered in Yu Mei's small courtyard.
Yesterday was Yu Mei's son, and everyone's attention in the Yu Mansion was also on Mrs. Jiang and the six princesses, and the old lady also let go yesterday, so that the ladies of the Yu family remembered to congratulate Yu Mei, so Yu Min personally went to invite the sisters early in the morning, and Zhang Luo went to Yu Mei to play with the sisters.
If this kind of thing was to be put in the past, it must be Yu Xiao who took the lead. But she was reprimanded yesterday, and she didn't have a face in front of the sixth princess, so Yu Xiao didn't talk much about congratulating Yu Mei. If it weren't for the old lady who beat her yesterday, she would have been lazy today.
And Yu Min is Yu Mei's sister, and she has a lot of housekeepers, so she has been very experienced, so this matter is naturally in charge
Yu Min held Mu Qingling and walked in front, Yu Yu and Yu Zi were young, and they didn't understand the intrigue in the family, the two of them ran in front hand in hand, Yu Min kept an eye on the two little ones, afraid that they would run fast and wrestle, and said to Mu Qingling, "Now in this house, in addition to my father, mother, and old lady, I am afraid that only these two small ones are really pure because Sister Mei has a good mother-in-law, and she is happy." ”
Mu Qingling glanced at Yu Min and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, aren't you happy or I'm not happy" Yu Min sighed, as if he wanted to turn his head to look at Yu Xiao who fell behind, turned his head halfway and endured it stiffly, "Don't talk back to me about the scene, you obviously know who I'm talking about." ”
"She just didn't think about it for a while." Although Mu Qingling felt in her heart that Yu Xiao had been taught badly by her mother, she now had to whitewash the peace, "You have always known her, and everything must be strong." First, the second aunt ate the melon, and then she was told by her grandmother that she let her go of that child, how could she not be careful. It will be fine after a while. ”
"You're right." Yu Min nodded, "When I didn't care about these things before, I only felt that she relied on her second aunt to be the housekeeper, and Pingli was too flamboyant in front of her sisters, and she refused to eat at all." But when I really followed my sister and mother to take charge of the house, I realized how much knowledge and how heavy the work was. Now looking at her and the second aunt, I actually faintly have a little sympathy, I am afraid that I will be careless, make a mistake, and end up like the second aunt. ”
Mu Qingling said in her heart that ordinary people can't do something like Xu's, and it is a bit difficult to have an ending with her. comforted, "You, you just think too much." I just don't want you to go out of the house and don't know anything about housework, so I let you think about so much and some don't come out. Yu Min smiled embarrassedly and said, "Don't laugh at me, you know, I've always been such a forward-looking person, and I don't have to think a little more when I encounter something." ”
Everyone talked and laughed and went to Yu Mei's courtyard, where Yu Mei was embroidering a dowry. Hearing the laughter of the sisters outside the house, they hurriedly put down the needle and thread and greeted them, standing at the door and looking at Yu Min, they smiled and said, "Early in the morning, why did you come over?" I was saying that being locked up in a room is boring, but you guys are here just in time."
Yu Yu is the youngest, Yu Mei and Yu Min are very eldest sisters, usually very fond of her, the little girl didn't wait for a few sisters to speak, she ran into Yu Mei's house first, looked at the red silk in the room and shouted, "Wow, Sister Mei, what is this embroidering, look good."
"Little girl, it's rare, it's weird, Sister Mei, this is embroidering a dowry for herself, what do you see, is it a red hijab, or a new wedding dress" Yu Min heard Yu Yu's voice and said loudly deliberately.
Yu Yu ran out in a hurry again, rushed to Yu Min, pulled Yu Min's sleeve, and said excitedly, "Yu Er can't see what it is, but it's a big red satin, embroidered with a hundred flowers, and gold and silver threads."
Yu Mei blushed by Yu Min's two or three ridiculous words, glanced at Yu Min with a smile, and just wanted to beckon everyone to go into the house, who knew that she heard Yu Xiao, who was walking at the end, say coldly, "Running around in a panic, there are no rules, there is no lack of food and less clothes in Pingli, why do you shout and scream when you see something now, I don't know, I think that our second room has not even seen this little bit of the world, and we don't stand up."
Yu Yan is the concubine of the second room, and she has always been afraid of her sister-in-law. Now because Yu Mei was too happy about the happy event, she didn't care about being in front of Yu Xiao. Now being reprimanded by Yu Xiao like this, Yu Yan's little face, which was still red just now, turned white in an instant, took a step back timidly, and stood up with his hands behind his back.
Yu Mei frowned slightly, and Yu Min's face was not very good. I'm here to congratulate Yu Mei today, Yu Yu is an ignorant child, and it's not a big deal that she lost some of her demeanor because she was happy for her sister. Even Yu Mei didn't speak, Yu Xiao came up and scolded Yu Mei, in the end, it was still the face of Yu Mei, the master.
"What's the matter, I'm too happy, how can I care about so much between my own sisters" Mu Qingling stepped forward and blocked in front of Yu Yu, letting her avoid Yu Xiao's knife-like eyes, "Zi'er, didn't you always clamo to see the dowry embroidered by Sister Mei herself when you came, take advantage of Sister Mei's current outside to greet us and not hide the good things, you and Er'er will go in for us first to feast your eyes."
Mu Qingling glanced at Yu Zi, and Yu Zi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yu Zi into the house. Yu Mei followed and said, "Okay, let those two little ones go to play, let's drink tea and talk in this yard."
Yu Mei turned around and instructed Qing Yao, who was standing on the side, "Go and prepare some fruit and snacks, don't be too greasy early in the morning." Qing Yao answered yes and turned down to prepare.
Yu Min also lived in this small courtyard, and without waiting for Yu Mei to say hello, he pulled Mu Qingling to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and smiled at Yu Mei, "Let those two little ones go in, but leave a few of us outside, it can be seen that there are really good things inside, and I am reluctant to let us see it."
"Eh, how can you say that?" Mu Qingling pulled Yu Min, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and deliberately pretended to whisper, but her actual voice was not covered at all, "See through it or not, we know it, what are you shouting for, Sister Mei should be embarrassed"
"Sin and sin, I am ignorant. Sister, don't be like me," Yu Min looked suddenly realized, turned her head and pulled Yu Mei's sleeve and said. Yu Mei was crying and laughing by the two of them, "You two have enough room and you haven't locked the door, you have to see yourself go in and see, as if someone is blocking you." ”
"Gee, I'm going to go in and have a look. The Jiang family is a well-known family in Beijing, I don't know how many good things have been sent" Yu Min made a gesture to get up and go into the house, Yu Mei couldn't help laughing, picked up the fruit that the maid Qingzhi had just sent and threw Yu Min, "Go and go, don't pretend to be a wealth fan and eat a fruit and gag your mouth, this family of sisters, you talk the most"
The three of them were talking and laughing, and Yu Xiao sat alone on the side, looking at them coldly, and didn't interject, just kept a straight face, like someone owed her.
A few people were talking, Yu Mei's grandmother Yan Mama led the big girl Fang Ting in the third room to walk in, the two of them greeted a few young ladies, Fang Ting stepped forward and smiled at Yu Mei, "The third lady knows that Miss Zi is going to come over to congratulate Miss Mei today, and originally wanted to give the congratulatory gift to Miss Zi to bring it, but Mrs. was worried that Miss Zi was small and couldn't say it clearly, so she deliberately asked the maid to come over." ”
Fantine lifted the brocade cloth that covered the tray in her hand, revealing the delicate object underneath.
People like Yu Fu don't have any gold and silver treasures, and ordinary objects can't arouse the interest of big ladies like Yu Mei at all. But the things that Fantine sent were not ordinary gold and silver jewelry, and there were several strange-looking delicate boxes on the tray, as well as fans, handkerchiefs, and the like. At first glance, it is not the style of the Central Plains, but it looks like a foreign color.
"Yo, this mother-of-pearl carved incense powder box is a little exquisite." Mu Qingling also looked interesting, and reached out to take out a small white carved box from the tray, as Mu Qingling said, the material is mother-of-pearl, and the surface of the box shows colorful light in the sun. "This doesn't look like something we have here, it must be the Fanbang goods that the third aunt found" Mu Qingling looked at it and handed the box to Yu Mei.
Fang Ting smiled, "Miss Qingling's eyes are poisonous, you can see it at this glance." These are all fresh items that the Liu family's caravan has just brought back from Nanyang, and I heard that the noble ladies and ladies over there in Nanyang use them. Mrs. looked interesting, thinking about our young lady, what is not the best to eat and wear in the usual life, and it is also vulgar to send these here, it is better to send some fresh gadgets to Miss, Miss Bo has fun. ”
Yu Mei took the mother-of-pearl box that was less than half a palm's size to enjoy the game, and said to Fang Ting with a smile: "Go back and thank the third aunt for me, and it is thanks to the third aunt that she has a way to find these novelties." ”
"Eh, it's okay. A box of incense powder is also in my hands. If you want me to say, you'll be a viscountess in no time. What kind of rare thing do you want, don't have this box, or give it to me" Yu Min reached out and took the incense powder box, deliberately squeezed her eyebrows and said to Yu Mei, Yu Mei was angry and funny, and said, "I'll give it to you if you change someone else, it's you, you won't give it back to you, I'll pay it back quickly."
Yu Min hid with the box, and Yu Mei chased after him to grab it. The two of them made a fuss around the stone table, Mu Qingling and Fang Ting watched the two of them make trouble with a smile, and greeted them twice from time to time to tell them to be careful.
Everyone was happy, and it seemed that Yu Xiao was becoming more and more unsociable. Yu Xiao stared at the tray in Fang Ting's hand, when the Xu family was still in charge, what were the new things and rare objects, which time was not sent to her first, but now it is really a change of time
Also, Yu Min kept saying what a viscountess viscountess, this is simply digging her heart Yu Mei was what was there before Yu Mei Jingyong Mansion had her place Now that she has gained power, the whole mansion rushed to look at her Yu Xiao sat alone on the side, the more he thought about it, the more he was stunned, and his eyes were red with anger. I can't stay here anymore.
finally got to the end, and Yu Xiao went back to his yard without saying a word. When he entered the house, Yu Xiao subconsciously wanted to throw something and hit someone, but as soon as his hand was raised, he couldn't fall. Her mother is no longer the wife of the house, and she has just been reprimanded by the old lady, if the old lady knows that she is losing her temper in the house, it will be less and less good for her.
Yu Xiao reluctantly put down the teapot in his hand, turned to the embroidery and cried. Yu Mei, Yu Min, and Mu Qingling, there is always one, I will trample all of you under my feet
At the same time, the city gate on the east side of the capital changed to a crowded scene, and the city gate was surrounded by soldiers with spears and armor, and a general dressed as a military general was standing in front of the team, looking in the direction of the official road from time to time.
A short time later, the sound of Gunma galloping was heard. A puff of dust was seen rising from afar on the official road. When the sound of the horse's hooves was near, it became clear who it was.
The leader was a young man, dressed in ochre-colored brocade, wearing a golden crown, with a fair face and flying sword eyebrows. Born very handsome. He was followed by a group of Xuanyi guards, each carrying a long knife at their waists, and their faces were cold and slightly murderous.
These people rode to the city gate, and the leading military general hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying "The last general welcomes the third prince back to Beijing" The content of the chapter is being restored, please visit it later.
