ββββ this is the dividing line of gratitudeββββ
The sun is shining, the spring breeze is warm, and the grass is changing to new green. The flowers of spring bloom delicately.
Ruolan ran to pick two flowers and showed them to Xiao Zhihong, and Xiao Zhihong grabbed the petals in his hand and pulled the petals on them.
Ruofei laughed when she saw it, Ruolan saw that her flowers were messy by her younger brother, and she was laughed at by the fifth sister, so she ran over and slapped Ruofei, and the two of them chased one after the other and ran together.
A few maids looked at the two of them who were fighting, and they couldn't help laughing, Ruohong also smiled at the beautiful scenery, Xiao Zhihong clapped his little hands and laughed happily, laughed a few times, looked at the two sisters who were playing, and then continued to giggle.
Looking back, Ruohong saw Qu Jin'er walking behind, and when she saw her looking at the blooming four o'clock spring, she said, "Jin'er, go play." β
Qu Jin'er came back to her senses and saw that Ruohong was talking to her, seeing Ruohong nodding, she happily pulled a maid beside her and ran to the flower garden over there to ravage those newly blooming little flowers.
After returning to Jinling, Ruoxue asked people to inquire about Qu Jin'er's family, and for a few months, she did not inquire about the family surnamed Qu in several nearby counties who had lost their children.
On the third day of arriving in Jinling, Ruoxue asked Mi Pearl to lead the servants of the government to the tea shed, arrested the couple in the tea shed, and found a bag of drugs there.
The couple didn't expect Mi Pearl to come back to them, and they didn't expect to bring people from the government with them, and at first the two refused to admit that their house was a black shop, and when the drug was found, they bowed their heads and confessed.
The government quickly sentenced the couple to exile.
After Qu Jin'er arrived at Mei's house, she followed Mi Pearl most of the time, eating and sleeping with her, and after a long time, Qu Jin'er let go, and became familiar with the people in the yard.
Ruohong watched Xiao Zhihong play in the garden for a while, and asked Ruolan Ruofei to go back together.
A few people talked and laughed when they arrived at Jihui Hall, and saw the Yang family coming out of the door of Jihui Hall outside the door, and hurriedly curtsied.
When Yang saw Ruohong and the others, he smiled kindly and asked them where they had gone to play, and reached out and pinched Xiao Zhihong's face.
Xiao Zhihong wanted to sleep a little, but his little face was attacked by an unfamiliar person, and he was about to cry when he opened his mouth, Ruohong hurriedly picked him out of the stroller and coaxed him softly.
Ruolan said, "Let's go to the back garden to see the flowers, there are a lot of flowers, and we also saw a small butterfly. β
"Are they all open?"
"Mmmm, I've opened a lot!"
"I'll take a look when I have time."
Yang looked at Ruofei and said, "You've also played this time, so go back with me, your sister is still waiting for you to embroider together." β
"Yes." Ruofei reluctantly responded.
Yang said to Ruolan again: "You don't go home, your aunt doesn't know how to find someone to teach you some rules, you know how to play all day long, grow up, how to get married!" β
He looked at Ruohong again and said, "Come in, see that your brothers are about to fall asleep." β
If Hongxin hadn't said that if you weren't standing here, I would have gone in a long time ago," the second aunt walked slowly, and went into the courtyard as she spoke.
Ruolan looked up at Yang and said, "I've learned the rules. After saying that, he turned around and ran.
Ruolan's maid Xiao Tao, seeing that her master was gone, also ran away after a little blessing to Yang.
Yang snorted coldly, and walked straight forward without looking at Ruofei.
Ruofei exhaled and followed a few steps behind.
Ruohong entered the yard, and Zhihong's nurse greeted her, took Xiao Zhihong and carried him into the inner room to sleep.
"What is the second aunt doing?"
Ruohong walked into Tian's house and saw her sitting on the kang sewing a piece of Zhihong's clothes, so she walked over and took it from her hand, and then sewed it up.
"Where's your brother?"
"I fell asleep, and the nurse carried me back to the house."
Tian Shi said softly "oh" before answering Ruohong's question just now, "Your second aunt came to prepare a dowry for Zhiyuan." β
The maid brought tea and pastries, put them on the table next to her, and went out quietly.
Ruohong looked up at Tian and said, "Is the eldest brother going to be engaged?" I've never heard anyone talk about it! After speaking, he lowered his head and began to do the work in his hand.
"Last year, I booked the second lady of Professor He's family, and your second aunt said that she talked to her in-laws a few days ago, and set a day on the 26th of next month, and she came to ask our family how much dowry was given to others." Tian watched his daughter do needlework seriously, so he talked to her about family things.
The Yang family wants to pay a dowry from the public account, so that they can save a sum of money in the second room, even if it is not all from the public account, it is good to pay half of it!
In line with the principle of saving money, the Yang family didn't want to give too much dowry to the He family, nor did they want to make face for their future daughter-in-law. The He family is a scholarly family, one head higher than their family, marrying a young lady from such a family enters the door, and the Yang family is afraid that he will not be able to surrender.
Ruohong looked up at Tian and said, "This is just the second aunt's idea, right?" Second Uncle definitely won't be like this, right? β
"No matter who thinks about it, since your second aunt said it, let's talk to your sister, and see what your sister says." Tian said.
Ruohong said: "The second uncle's family marries a daughter-in-law, and it is not our family that marries a daughter-in-law, why do you want to tell my sister?" This year, the eldest brother got married, and our family got silver, but the second brother didn't give it when he got married, and the third brother and the fourth brother! What will you say then? β
Tian laughed, raised his hand and touched his red face, "My daughter has grown up, and she will think about it for the family!" I'll start teaching you stewardship tomorrow, right? β
Ruohong was stunned for a moment, isn't it! Tian's thinking jumped too fast, isn't this talking about the eldest brother's marriage! Why do you want to let her learn to be a housekeeper.
What does it mean to be a steward director? Doesn't that mean that she wants to get married? "I'm still young, don't learn any housekeeping director, you go teach my sister." She said, turning to the other side, sewing the small clothes in Tian's hand with her back to Tian.
"What did A-Niang and my sister say?"
Ruoxue came in and saw that Tian and Ruohong were both sitting on the kang, so she smiled and walked over to see what Ruohong was doing.
Tian said with a smile: "I said that your sister should also learn to be a housekeeper, but she didn't want to." β
Ruoxue smiled knowingly and sat down at the table, "My sister is still young!" Don't learn. She said.
"Sister is so nice!"
Ziyun came in and made Ruoxue a bowl of Mao Feng, put it in her hand, turned around and waited outside, leaving space for the mother and daughter.
Tian told Ruoxue the meaning of Yang's coming, "What do you think?" Or let your second uncle pay the dowry himself. She said.
Ruoxue thought for a while and said: "If the second uncle marries his daughter-in-law and doesn't give a dowry, how ugly the future sister-in-law's face should be!" didn't even give a dowry, so why did she get married? β
Ruohong said, "I think so too. If someone wants to marry me and doesn't even give me a dowry, I'm stupid to marry him! β
Tian patted Ruohong lightly, "Don't talk nonsense!" He looked at Ruoxue again and said, "Then what's the matter with your second aunt?" β
"Auntie, don't worry about it, I'll just talk to the second uncle." Ruoxue said.
"Then your second aunt will annoy you again."
Ruoxue said with a smile: "I've been annoyed for a long time, and it's not bad this time." β
Ruohong saw Ruoxue's relaxed and casual smile, her heart moved, and asked, "Sister has other ideas, right?" Can you talk about it? β
She knew that Ruoxue liked to keep things in her heart and bear the pressure alone, and she just asked, not necessarily to get an answer.
