159 Mid-Autumn Festival
Jin Niang resolutely disagreed with Qing'er marrying Mingzhu. Mingzhu's girl was fine earlier, delicate and graceful, white and clean, and looked gentle and sweet.
But two years after Jinniang's marriage, it coincided with Lin's father's birthday, and her uncle stayed at home to congratulate Lin's father on his birthday, and Jinniang saw Mingzhu again. At that time, she was also thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was taught by her aunt to be a housekeeper. Because it was a seed that came out of his belly, his aunt also asked his uncle to teach him the way of Mingzhu business.
My uncle agreed with this and taught him with all his heart, but he couldn't bear to have an uncle who was dragging his feet. My aunt is calculating, spicy and tricky, and she can't hide it from people when she thinks carefully, but she is also smart and self-righteous.
Mingzhu was a little like an aunt at that time, and that temperament made Jinniang frown a lot at that time. I remember that at that time, she still thought in her heart that it would be fine if Mingzhu married low, but if she married high, she would suffer from the same temper as her aunt and uncle.
Could it be that the pearl will become her brother-in-law in the end?
Fortunately, without waiting for Qing'er to speak, Father Lin directly refused. And the excuse is very simple and rude, saying that when she came back from Kyoto, Jinniang specially reminded her not to say goodbye to Qing'er too quickly. As soon as she came there, she had a good woman on her side, and she could come to see each other after Qing'er came out. Second, there is a good academy in Kyoto, and Jin Niang also expects her younger brother to go to the capital to study in the future, and the sister and brother will take care of each other.
Jinniang: Did she say that?
It seems that I haven't said it, but it seems to have been said. I couldn't remember clearly, so Jinniang tried to dig out useful information from her memory, and finally found out that she did say that she had asked Qing'er not to marry for the time being.
But that sentence is much more subtle and euphemistic, roughly saying that people go up, the level of contact is high, relative, there is a lot of room for choice, and the girls who will see each other in the future will be better.
Jin Niang's thoughts on the marriage of Qing'er and Xu Chong are actually the same, after all, both of them have a promising future, and there is no need to set up a family affair early. They are all half-grown sons with no merit or name now, even if they tell them that the conditions for pro-woman will not be very good, so they have to wait.
This memory surged out of her mind, and Jin Niang's face showed a look of sudden realization. Father is right, she does have other arrangements for Qing'er's marriage. But this so-called "arrangement" does not mean that it is necessary to be a matchmaker for Qing'er or anything. But her father over-interpreted her words, and then used this as an excuse to refuse her aunt's proposal, well, there is nothing wrong with this.
Later, Qing'er said in the letter that it was not easy to send something to the capital, so when she sent someone over, she also asked Xu's father and Xu's mother to see if they had anything to bring. Xu's father said no, but Xu's mother bought two pieces, that is, the ill-fitting clothes, shoes and socks that Jinniang saw earlier.
After reading the letter, Jin Niang carefully put away the letter, and then distributed various items to everyone.
Whether it was the clothes that Xu's mother made for Pianpian or the clothes that her aunt prepared for her, they were all sent to Pianpian. Whether it fits together or not, whether it is in line with popular fashion or not, it is always the intention of the two elders. It's okay to leave things unworn, but these kind tips of the elders.
Later, he sent the clothes for Xiao Yu'er, Brother Rong, and Changle over.
After a while, several people came over, first chattering about who gave the things, and then expressing their opinions on the quality of the things.
Changle and Pianpian are not children anymore, and they know that there are some things they can't say, so they can only show the ill-fitting clothes bought by Xu's mother in front of Jinniang...... Jin Niang, what can Jin Niang do? can only say good words to reconcile the relationship, "It's all the hearts of your mother and your grandmother, this heart is precious, you don't want to spoil it," so just press this shirt to the bottom of the box or offer it.
Changle and Pian Pian understood what Jin Niang meant, and responded with a smile and a smile.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a lantern festival in the city, and it happened that Xu Chong and Chang'an Changping were both at home, so Pian Pian clamored to let the third brother and two nephews lead her to the city to watch the lantern festival.
As soon as Pian Pian made a sound, Changle and Xiao Yu'er couldn't sit still, and the two little girls also clamored to go together.
Xu Chong's patience and love for several little girls in the family have been greatly improved, although when he heard Pianpian's proposal, he rolled his eyes and looked impatient, but he still asked Jinniang's opinion, and after dinner, he still took his sister and a few nephews and nieces out of the house together.
A few half-sized girls left, and the house suddenly became clean.
It happened that Brother Rong was also asleep, so Xu Erlang asked Jin Niang sideways, "Do you want to go out and walk left?" ”
Jin Niang: "...... It's not good, Brother Rong is still at home. ”
"The three big and small maids around him add up to dozens, such people, if you can't even look at a little guy who is less than half a year old, you should consider whether to dismiss them."
The nurse carefully hugged Brother Rong, just stepped out of the threshold, and her face was shocked when she heard the words. She immediately turned around, as if she wanted to kneel down and plead or promise something, but she was holding Brother Rong in her hand, and Brother Rong was asleep. She didn't kneel well, and she didn't make a noise to wake up the baby bump, so she opened and closed her mouth several times, looking terrified.
Seeing this worried look, Jin Niang waved her hand to let the nurse hold the child and leave, and she patted Xu Erlang, "The nurse and maid around Brother Rong are all good, don't say something that scares people." ”
Xu Erlang took the opportunity to hold her little hand in the palm of his hand, "In this case, what else are you worried about?" And leave Brother Rong in their care, no matter how bad it is, there is still Master Qian and Gui Niangzi, and nothing can happen. ”
Jin Niang was a little moved, and Xu Erlang continued to persuade when she saw this, "Besides, you haven't been out of the house since the late stage of pregnancy, so don't you really panic at home?" ”
"How is that possible. I'm going crazy, I feel like I'm getting mold all over me. ”
Xu Erlang chuckled, "Then don't go and change your clothes quickly." ”
Both of them changed their outgoing clothes.
It's a little cool at night, but the temperature is just right for Xu Erlang, and he doesn't need to add clothes or wear thick clothes. It is Jin Niang, deliberately changed into a rose red woven gold twig pattern gown, because today's festival, it is rare to celebrate, so she added a white jade inlaid red coral beads double knot wishful hairpin on her head, added a red gold inlaid ruby pomegranate flower earrings on the small and delicate earlobes, and added a jade bracelet on both wrists.
She doesn't have many jewelry, but she can't count these four pieces, but each piece is delicate and valuable, and wearing it on her body not only plays the role of the finishing touch, but also reflects her hibiscus face, which is more and more beautiful and moving.
Xu Erlang cleaned up a moment before her, and at the moment he was sitting on a chair drinking tea in an ivory white gongbi landscape robe and waiting patiently for her. When he saw her dressed up, Xu Erlang's eyes were a little deeper, he looked at the beauty approaching, and suddenly a feeling of unhappiness surged in his heart, and he suddenly didn't want to go out.
When Jin Niang pulled him up, Xu Erlang didn't move after pulling him twice, and Jin Niang was surprised, "What are you doing?" Aren't you going now? "It's not early, they have been making a lot of trouble for dinner today, and now she has packed up and changed her clothes, and it has taken a long time, and it will take a while to wait until the lantern festival is held on Suzaku Street, so even if she gets to the street, she won't be able to play for long before she comes back. He didn't move, didn't he want to go?
Xu Erlang...... He really didn't want to go. couldn't open this mouth, and I didn't want Jinniang to be disappointed, so I finally reluctantly walked out of the door.
But as soon as he got off the steps, Xu Erlang paused and instructed Qingsui, who was following Jin Niang, "Go and get a cloak for Madame." ”
"I don't need to, I'm wearing a gown, it's not cold at all."
"You're cold."
"I'm not cold."
"You'll be cold in a moment."
Qingsui took the cloak and handed it over, Xu Erlang took it in person and held it in his hand. After getting out of the carriage, he immediately put it on Jinniang.
Jin Niang pursed her lips and smiled secretly, resolutely refusing to admit that she saw Xu Erlang's vinegar face in the carriage, and the pride welled up in her heart.
She forgot the advantages of this man's vinegar nature, and the advantage of clinker saw that she ignored herself, so she couldn't wait to jump out and brush her sense of existence.
After getting out of the carriage, Jinniang was held by Xu Erlang, and the two walked slowly on the crowded street, followed by Qinghe Qingsui and Qu He and others. As for Tonghe, follow Xu Chong to protect the safety of several little masters.
The Mid-Autumn Festival lantern festival is very lively, not only do vendors make lanterns to sell in the world, but even the shops in the surrounding shops also make lanterns to hang in front of the doors of the shops to join in the excitement.
In order to attract more people, many shops also put up a gimmick of guessing lantern riddles to win gold and silver, which attracted many shy students.
Jin Niang and Xu Erlang walked for less than a moment before they saw the figure of Chang'an Changping. The two young men were crowded in the crowd of guessing lantern riddles to win the jackpot, shouting and shouting along with the crowd. And there are Su Xuan and Su Zheng next to them, so it can be seen that they are playing with acquaintances. As for Xu Chong and Pianpian, they didn't see each other, but they were obviously separated from each other.
Jin Niang and Xu Erlang didn't bother the interest of the two children, walked over in a low-key manner, and then wandered aimlessly.
During this period, Jin Niang fell in love with a marquee made of nanmu, and Xu Erlang personally stepped forward to buy it in order to please the beauty. His words and deeds are like a beautiful son who has entered the WTO, and his appearance and demeanor are heart-wrenching.
At this time, many women around were already blushing and heartbeat looking at Xu Erlang in a trance, even a few who combed their lady's hair turned their heads sideways in embarrassment, or lowered their heads, obviously embarrassed by the appearance of this jade-faced Langjun.
Seeing this, Jin Niang hurriedly pinched Xu Erlang twice with her hand, and glared at him twice with her big eyes, warning him to keep a low profile.
Originally, his face was high-profile enough, but he was still deliberately exuding charm, did he think that her rival was not enough?
Thinking so, Jin Niang glared at the past again.
Xu Erlang: The person who wanted to be confused didn't get confused, but instead caused a few angry eyes, and he was also very wronged.
Later, Jin Niang bought a small fan of light Luo fluttering fireflies, as well as two chic, beautifully made gilt hollow incense balls. This kind of incense ball is filled with spices, and then the things are hung in the corner of the upturned eaves of the bed, which can be used to smoke the house. It's good to hang it in the wardrobe to smoke clothes, in short, it's very easy to use and it's very practical.
After that, Jin Niang bought a lot of things bits and pieces along the way, but they were all small items. It's not expensive, it's just a delicate novelty. But just like that, it cost a lot of money along the way.
She was still a little distressed, but in a moment, she thought that the cost of this road was not as valuable as the robe on Xu Erlang's body, so she should have thrown the idea of saving money out of the clouds.
After taking a few more steps forward, the two finally saw Xu Chong. And in front of Xu Chong, there were Pianpian, Changle and Xiaoyuer.
A couple of little girls are making candy men. The little fish is ready to be ready, she is holding it in her hand and looking at it carefully, occasionally sticking out her tongue, as if she wants to lick it, but she is also worried that it will not look good if she licks the corner of the candy man, so the little girl tries to endure the desire to eat the sugar man into her stomach. The expression of struggle and longing continued on her face, and people couldn't laugh or cry.
Xu Chong's two friends Xuanhe and Wang Sunping made an appointment with Xu Chong to get together today, but Xu Chong didn't expect to come by himself, and there were a few little followers behind him. Fortunately, the two boys ran into their friends after a while and walked away, but there were still three delicate and beautiful little girls left, so they couldn't just send them away...... The key hi they are also reluctant to drive people away.
Xuanhe and Wang Sunping are also the age of young Mu Ai, and when they saw Pianpian blushing a little this time, they fell in love with each other. Therefore, seeing Pian Pian take care of her two younger sisters, the two of them couldn't wait to help by the side, and even in order to please the beauty, the two of them were very good to Changle and Xiaoyuer along the way.
Now seeing Xiao Yu'er drooling at a sugar man, Xuanhe and Wang Sunping hurriedly instructed the boss, "Make two more sugar people, one for butterflies, and the other for butterflies, want, what do you want for Xiao Yu'er?" ”
The little fish reflexively replied, "I want the little fish." ”
Xuanhe: "Okay, let's have another little fish." ”
Pian Pian reacted that this person was going to buy candy for Xiao Yu'er, and she was suddenly unhappy. With a delicate little face, he said, "Second Brother Xuan, don't buy candy for Xiaoyu'er, she is small, and her teeth will be bad after eating sugar." Sister-in-law set the amount of sugar that Xiaoyuer eats every day at home, and she ate a lot just now, if she still eats, her sister-in-law will punish her when she goes home. ”
Xuanhe was suddenly embarrassed, scratching his head and laughing, "Then don't buy it for her, those two sugar people will give it to you, can you give it to you?" ”
Pianpin: "I don't want it either, I'm still changing my teeth, and now there are still two teeth that haven't come out, I don't want to show up with a broken tooth when the time comes, it's so ugly." ”
"Well, then don't. Don't do it, boss, don't do it. ”
Jin Niang: "......" Jin Niang was originally worried about Pianpian's early love, but at this time, she was already laughing and paralyzed in Xu Erlang's arms.
I'm still changing my teeth, oh my god, she's ridiculous.
Xu Erlang was also smiling, but he just laughed, and his expression was very light, only a little more smile in his phoenix eyes. If it weren't for someone close to him, he wouldn't have noticed that he was smiling.
Jin Niang and Xu Erlang bit their ears, "Look at Xuanhe's expression like being struck by lightning, it's not too funny." Hahaha, what should I do, I have a little sympathy for him now. This kid has a very good eye, and he has taken a fancy to our family, but unfortunately Pian Pian is not enlightened, and his unrequited love can't go far. ”
