Appointment (Part I)

This excuse is really good, not to mention the relationship between the two families, and it doesn't let people see the clues.

It's just that who to take is still a problem, if you only take Sister Chi alone, it will be too conspicuous, Shen thought about it, and planned to take An Mei.

An Shu is considered to have settled on someone's family, and it is not good to go to such an occasion again, but if you only leave An Shu behind, who will think too much, and you will not be able to go to her to chew the root of your tongue.

He left An Cheng behind, and only took the two concubines to go, firstly, the identity was equal, and there was no need to distinguish the importance of An Chi's face, and secondly, it was also clear to Mrs. Xu that their An family also loved the concubines, and they did not forget them if there was anything.

Shen thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he only said that An Shu and An Cheng were going to school, and it was not good to ask for leave, so it was good to only take An Chi and An Mei, but secretly he went to An Chi with a slight breeze.

Yue'er got the letter, prepared fragrant clothes for An Chi, and disliked the red was not solemn enough, and felt that the yellow was a little frivolous, and felt that the green was too plain, so it took a long time to pick out a pink and purple one, with a set of red gold pearls, which was noble and elegant.

Yue'er Ling'er was busy, but An Chi didn't pay much attention, holding the book, but she had something in her heart, "Yue'er...... Where did the second aunt come to report the return gift? ”

Yue'er is teaching Ling'er how to smoke her clothes to be just right, and when she heard this, she responded casually, "The slave has already asked, no." ”

An Chi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, "You listen carefully." ”

Yue'er realized that it didn't seem right, but because Ling'er was here, it was not easy to ask - although Ling'er was loyal, strict-mouthed, and knew the roots, but after all, she and the girl were not in love from childhood to adulthood, so it was not good to listen to everything together.

instructed Ling'er to go to the kitchen to get some lotus root dumplings and come back, and when she went out, Yue'er spoke, "What's on the girl's mind?" ”

"Not either."

Although An Chi denied it quickly, Yue'er could still see it, and said with a slight smile, "Although the girl doesn't say it, she may not hide it from the slave." ”

"The slave maid can see that after returning from the Hong family, the girl has fallen in love, in fact, according to the slave maid, the Hong family is indeed a good place, and the slave maid also took it in her heart before."

"But now that I look at the Xu family's actions, it is more appropriate than the Hong family, and my relatives and friends are more familiar with our family, so it will not be difficult to come and go often in the future."

"Girl, look, this Xu family talks and does things, and there is no trace of it, which is also taking care of the girl."

"Girl, you might as well take a look at it, this old man of the Xu family values it, and the second wife also took the post, and there is something to be gained after all."

An Chi held the book, couldn't take his eyes off it, and didn't know whether he was listening to it or holding the book in a trance, so he spoke after a while, "I don't have these thoughts, don't talk nonsense." ”

"I have a daughter's family, my knowledge is shallow, my father, my second aunt and my grandmother have their own considerations, if I say something here, or what do I have in mind...... Isn't it hard for them? ”

Yue'er knew that An Chi had always been thoughtful, and she refused to fall into her mouth, "Rest assured, girl, this word will not reach the ears of others again." ”

But An Chi didn't want to say more, so he only put down the book and assigned Yue'er, "Ling'er estimates that she is coming back, you take some rose dew and boil it, and then put it in the well water to cool it, and send one to several girls." ”

Seeing that even Yue'er had gone out, An Chi exhaled lightly, Yue'er was her confidant, and she took a fancy to her mind at a glance.

Actually, it's not a big deal, it's nothing more than ...... The An family revealed some meaning slightly, and the Hong family hurriedly posted a post to invite someone, and the Xu family ...... But it was my father who revealed the style of his words, so there was some movement.

But this can't be said that this Xu family must be inferior to the Hong family, a scholarly family, when it comes to doing things, it is more constrained than the martial family.

An Chi didn't want to let himself think about it anymore, so he saw Yue'er come in and bring a bowl of rose dew lotus root dumplings, stretched out his hand to take it, and ate it silently, but he felt a little sweet and greasy in his mouth, so he put it down in one bite.

The next day, after more than an hour of carriage, the Shen family took An Chi and An Mei to the gate of the Great Compassion Temple, and the mother-in-law of the Xu family had been waiting at the door early, and when she saw the carriage of An Fu, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Second Mrs. An, our wife is already waiting for you inside." ”

He smiled and looked behind Shen, "These two are the girls of the An family, right?" The old slave was polite. ”

Shen Shi only looked at the mother-in-law in front of him, wearing a long shoulder with eggplant purple pinched silver thread, a six-sided horse-faced skirt of lake blue below, a red gold hairpin on the meticulously combed bun, and the jade beads on the earlobes were not big, but they were extremely well polished, green and transparent.

With such spirit and dress, you can see at a glance that he should be a person with a great face in front of his master.

An Chi couldn't speak, so Shen laughed and shouted, "Where is your wife?" It's that we're slow. ”

The woman bowed down and continued to laugh, "Where, it's our lady who came early, thinking about asking someone to sprinkle and prepare first." ”

"After all, Madame's family is not as good as ours, what she brought is a brother, and Madame's family brings all the guests, so you should be careful."

As soon as Shen heard this, he understood what Mrs. Xu meant—this was to bring Xu Sanlang to show them, and to take a closer look at Sister Chi.

smiled and said, "What, Third Brother Xu is also here?" Then it's not very convenient for us. ”

"It's okay, our lady sent my brother to the backyard to see those monuments early, and it will take a while, and my wife and our wife will talk happily."

After this greeting, Shen also arrived at the place where Mrs. Xu stayed, and Mrs. Xu also greeted her when she heard the movement, and looked at Shen and the girl behind her with a smile, "Please come in, I specially brought some good white tea today, with the unique reclining Buddha spring water of this Great Compassion Temple, you can also taste it." ”

When she got to the room, Mrs. Xu was slightly surprised when she saw that the little girl under the hat was not An Cheng, who was born to the Shen family, and then she smiled and revealed, "Sister Chi hasn't seen her for a few days, and she is getting more and more energetic." ”

"Sister Mei is also good-looking, she looks smart, and her wife will take care of her."

"Why didn't Sister Shu and Sister Cheng come? I'm afraid that Mrs. is worried that I will be abrupt and reluctant to bring it? ”

Shen smiled, "The two sisters were always absent from class some time ago because of the eldest sister's affairs, so I thought that I wouldn't take them out today and let them go to school." ”

"I was born in our family, and when I heard that I was out of the house today, I was making a fuss about coming early, and I had no choice but to rely on her."

"It's causing trouble for Mrs. Xu."

Hearing Shen's words that seemed to be complaining, but were actually close, Mrs. Xu quietly looked at An Chi and An Mei again, "This is Mrs. Benevolent." ”

"Shall you taste this tea?"
