Chapter 128: A Happy Event
After the second day of February, there was a rain, and the spring flowers and bones climbed all over the wall, and the return of the capital was lively.
"On the eighth day of February, I returned home to marry my daughter, and on February eighteen, the old lady's niece Yue's went out again, and there were two happy events this month, congratulations." The neighbors who came to help each other said pleasant things.
The old lady was in good spirits on happy occasions, so she simply took care of these two happy events herself. Wu was afraid that she would be tired, so he had to rush ahead of everything to do it.
"Master, madam, someone from Nanyang's old house is here, and he is dismounting at the door at this time." The little guy who guarded the door came to report in a hurry, looking like he was facing a great enemy, and the fourth lady on the Nanyang side had come to the door to quarrel with his wife a few years ago, but he was vividly in the purpose.
"Oh, hurry up and welcome in, the carriage is pulled to the front yard, and the people brought are also arranged to rest in the people's room. Let the housekeeper do it! Wu commanded, and went to the main gate with Master Gui.
At the main entrance, the two brothers and sisters Gui Zhongqing and Diancui were there early, and they were saluting with several aunts and cousins.
"Second sister-in-law, Yunqing, why are you all here, please come in, please come in." Wu hurriedly greeted him.
This time, the Lian family and the Wang family came, as well as the juniors Gui Yi Nan, Gui Yi Xuan, Gui Chu Yu, and Gui Chu Chu also came.
"My own happy event, I have to come to help earlier, your second brother can't leave temporarily, the fourth brother and Yilan have also rushed back, and they will arrive in the capital on the seventh day of the first month." The second lady Lian smiled.
The two big families came into the house with a hula, because most of them were female dependents, and the third master greeted him for a while, and then avoided it.
After everyone saw the old lady, Yi Nan and Yi Xuan were taken to the West Courtyard by Gui Zhongqing. Wu took the two concubines to the upper room for tea, and Grandma Lu led the maids and daughters-in-law to arrange a place for the ladies and ladies in their hometown.
"Wow! This is the home of the fourth sister, it's really big, bigger than the two in our family! Dian Cui took the two cousins around the courtyard, and Gui Chu Chu chattered non-stop.
Gui Chuyu looked at this familiar mansion, and was speechless for a while.
Diancui stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and said that the second sister of the house must be more familiar than me, thinking that I had been lost when I was a maid here, and I saw something that I shouldn't see......
"Shouldn't you see?" Gui Chu Yu's melancholy was immediately attracted to her.
Sure enough, girls can't help but be curious about gossip anywhere.
Diancui leaned close to her ear and whispered twice, and her face immediately turned red and her mouth opened wide in disbelief.
"Really?"
Diancui nodded, and refused to say more.
Gui Chu Yu was curious and ashamed, wanting to know but couldn't ask.
Diancui looked at her and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You bad embryo! Just know you're the worst! Gui Chuyu stepped forward to scratch her angrily.
"Oh, two sisters, what kind of secret are you talking about, tell me about it." Gui Chu Chu shouted.
Only then did Gui Chuyu remember that she was still on the side, and immediately blushed and said, "Don't say it, you don't listen to it!" ”
Since the children from their hometown came, the more lively chickens and dogs in this house jumped up, in order to prevent them from going out to cause trouble, the Wu family had to let some cui accompany the two cousins, and by the way, they also monitored the boys in the west courtyard.
Gui Yi Nan and Gui Yi Xuan are lively, but they will not cause big troubles, but her unconscious second son Gui Zhongqing will make some headaches from time to time. In the past, with Heng'er and the son of the Bai family, they were not honest when they were together, but now there are two younger boys, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will be even more upside down!
Diancui couldn't help the Wu family with things, but fortunately, the Lian family and the Wang family were both capable of such a horse. A person who keeps a record of the list of relatives and friends who give gifts to the neighbors, who has given what gifts, and who has a closer relationship to stay to help, and those who stay to help must be specially thanked; The other is in charge of making wedding cards, which is complicated and complicated, and there must be a booklet of relatives and friends who have been in contact with in the past, and it is necessary to distinguish which ones have noble status, which ones are closer and farther, and which ones live in the capital and those who are out of town...... According to the wording of these wedding cards, the timing of the wedding cards and who will deliver the wedding cards are particular......
And the Wu family is even more busy with their feet on the ground, and the dowry list for the two newlyweds is held in the hands of the old lady, this Wu family doesn't have to bother and doesn't want to bother. All she had to take care of was all the preparations she had made for those two days, and she summoned all the villains, and commanded them one by one:
"All the subordinates in the house, no matter which courtyard you are from, the first class or the third class, are all divided into seven batches, one wave of single tubes to guide the guests on the day, one to pour tea, one to sprinkle and sweep; The kitchen is on fire in the kitchens of several yards, the two courtyards are in charge of the daily tea and rice of their relatives, and the two courtyards are in charge of the banquet of the day together with the chef of the restaurant invited from outside, and the purchase of fish, meat and vegetables is also done by the kitchen of each courtyard, and the price of the purchase is recorded in the book; As for the cups, saucers, tea utensils, wine and rice utensils, there is a wave of single tubes, where there is a need, they will be sent to where, and they will be recovered in time when they are used up, and whether there is any loss when they go back, these must be recorded. In addition, there was a group to entertain the guests of the new aunt that day, and a group to wait in the courtyard of the bride; The last group of nursing homes is to take turns to be on duty at night in each courtyard every day, taking care of the portal! ”
"Everyone must be steady, don't panic, and don't be lazy and slippery, by Grandma Lu and Aunt Xing, everyone is good at doing things, these two happy events have passed smoothly, and everyone will be rewarded!"
"Yes! Madam! "Everyone is nervous to take the order, this is just marrying a daughter, if the two young masters marry wives, it should be even more lively.
Compared with the busy and lively scene in the house, the courtyard of Diancui is much quieter.
"Fourth sister, let's go out and have fun!" Gui Chuchu really can't read the book, she has been stuffy in the room for a long time, and she really doesn't understand why the fourth sister can spend a phoenix hairpin to draw a noon without moving.
Diancui ignored her, and only raised his head after the last stroke: "This will not be able to stay for half a day?" I've been shopping to several shops in the capital these days, but it's not enough. ”
"It's no longer interesting to visit those shops, and it's better than reading a book in your room. Fourth sister, good sister! Let's go out, second sister, you come and beg the fourth sister too! ”
"Heh, it's you who want to go out, what do you have to do with me, ask you to beg yourself, don't get involved with me." Gui Chuyu has been attracted by a few words here in Diancui these days.
"Second sister, do you like my book?" Diancui smiled: "These are all from the teacher, take them when you have nothing to do, but they are good things to kill boredom." ”
"Oh?" Gui Chu Yu couldn't put down the notebook and said, "I didn't expect this old gentleman to read such idle books?" ”
Old gentleman? Gui Diancui couldn't help but laugh, and one of the teachers wanted to be the white-bearded old man, so he immediately teased: "Yes, this old gentleman not only likes to read books, but also often fights and dances with those scholars, and is full of spirit." ”
"What old gentleman?" When Gui Chuchu heard this, he became interested: "Do you also live in the West Courtyard?" I heard that there is a hundred-year-old plane tree in the west courtyard, which grows very mighty, let's go and take a look. ”
Diancui looked at her really stuffy, and thought that the teacher had a new word book this morning, and when she took her, she just went to get it, so she smiled and said: "Then go and see, but you must not run around, the West Courtyard is a place full of books and quiet, in addition to my brother and my teacher, there are two other sons, seeing that they are about to try, it is the time to study hard, don't rush/bump to disturb others." ”
"Okay, good, it's really more verbose than the master, let's just go and take a look," Gui Chuchu said with a smile, snatching the book from Gui Chuyu's hand, and said, "Second sister, don't be bored, come with us!" ”
Gui Chuyu was looking at Xing, and was disturbed by her, so he was angry, and chased her to grab the book, but he didn't grab the book, but followed him all the way to the west courtyard.
"This, this is what you said about the West Courtyard full of books and quietness, Fourth Sister?" Gui Chuchu stood under the plane tree, laughing only down.
Dian Cui and Gui Chu Yu were also dumbfounded.
It's really "quiet" here......
"Come on, Yi Nan, you have this idea? It's clearly like a girl. Gui Zhongqing is shouting.
Gui Yinan was provoked by this cousin, and he was even more competitive, and pounced like a little leopard, but unfortunately, he was thrown to the ground by Gui Zhongqing again.
The two cousins were wrestling on one side, and on the other side of the pavilion was a thin boy who was fiddling with this piano, and the sound of the piano was not wonderful, but it could be called good. Diancui took a look, but it was Yin Chang Yin Gongzi, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and looked at Xin'er beside him, but saw that her face was as usual, and even pointed to the person who played the piano and whispered to Xizi with disdain, I didn't want to say anything good, right......
On this side of the pavilion are two sons dancing swords, facing Diancui and their Bai Ye, I saw him dressed in white, his eyebrows are picturesque, and a pair of peach blossom eyes seem to be smiling rather than smiling.
Bai Ye heard this, but at first glance, she was a naughty little girl with a round face, round eyes, and a round body, although the girl was small, she didn't open her face, but a smile made the spring flowers lose color, and a veteran of flowers like Bai Ye also reddened her ears slightly.
The figure with his back to Dian Cui also turned around at this time.
Ink hair flying, handsome eyes and eyebrows, wearing the simplest green clothes, can not hide his full spirit, with a fierce air in his eyes, as if he is standing on a high cliff overlooking the world's gods, and as if looking down on the unruly prodigal son of the world.
Gui Chuyu only felt that his heart was beating like a drum, and he almost wanted to suffocate, and he couldn't take his eyes off the person.
But seeing his such madness, such an uninhibited look, when he looked at this side, he didn't know why for some reason in an instant, the whole person became gentle as spring and warm as jade, and even the corners of his eyes were relaxed and bent down, turning into a wide and harmless but somewhat ordinary young man, and there was even a trace of embarrassment to cover up, as if an elder who had done a playful thing was so helpless to be seen by his own child, where was there such a terrifying and attractive momentum as Fang Cai.
Gui Chu Yu thought that he had seen it wrong, and he didn't know why he had such a strange feeling.
Until he heard the fourth sister beside him, the super man who was as sweet as a lark called:
"Teacher!"
