Everyone else was praising Xiaocao, but only Mrs. Yiji Houtai talked to her to resolve her embarrassment.

Xiao Nuan received the kindness of the old man, bent his knees and smiled, "The craftsmen of the cotton mill have figured out a very absorbent cotton cloth this year, and sent some to the palace, the queen mother and the queen mother both said okay, send it to you tomorrow to try?" ”

The absorbent cotton cloth that Xiao Nuan said is a modern towel. She carried the detailed appearance of the towel, and really made this batch of craftsmen come out, Xiao Nuan was very surprised.

Mrs. Li, who has been paying attention to them, also said, "A few days ago, Xi Ran went to Jixian County on an errand and brought back a few, which are indeed easy to use and look good." ”

Mrs. Yiji Hou said with a grin, "You people who are particular about it all say yes, then it's not bad." The old body also brought a few pieces, and if it was useful, he would send some to the nephews and nephews in the camp. ”

Mrs. Yiji Houtai was born in Jiangmen, and her nephews and grandchildren are also Jiangmen Huzi, who were beaten in the camp when they were teenagers, and sweat-absorbing and comfortable clothes and hand towels are more useful to them.

The topic was opened, and everyone began to chat.

Mrs. Li called Xiaocao over, "Isn't it fun to go with your sister to Yongning Street to scatter flowers today?" ”

"Well, Xiaocao is very happy, and the third sister who followed to scatter flowers was also very happy when she saw the county mother." Xiaocao replied.

Listening to Xiaocao's words that reversed black and white, Concubine Jing almost jumped up, but after thinking about it carefully, what Xiaocao said was right. When Xiaomian saw her mother, didn't she cry with joy!

Concubine Su also asked the Qin family, "You have known the champion of this branch for a long time?" ”

Concubine Su took her daughter-in-law Princess Jian to see the excitement, and saw the scene where Lu Linping took the lead in smiling at Xiaocao, and heard Xiaocao's words through the maid's mouth.

She didn't ask Xiao Nuan, who went to Yongning Street, but asked Qin's family, just to see if the little girl was lying.

She didn't know that Xiao Nuan had already asked the maid to pass the word, and the Qin family had been waiting for someone to ask about it, "Lu Zhuangyuan's father is now the magistrate of Ji County, and when he entered Beijing after the year, Xiaocao told Mrs. Lu that if Lu Dagongzi won the champion, he would sprinkle many flowers for her. His two sons are very promising, and Mrs. Lu is very good at teaching children. ”

"Oh? He also has a son in the family, how old is he? "Mrs. Qingguo, who has two granddaughters to be married, immediately became interested.

Qin replied, "Second Prince Lu is ten years old this year, he reads well, and he is very sensible. ”

Ten years old, too young......

Duchess Qingguo lost interest, so she asked the Qin family with a smile, "What are your plans for Xiaocao in the future?" ”

The granddaughter is not successful, and she also has the grandson.

The people who were talking to each other immediately raised their ears and listened.

Qin Shi smiled, "She's still young, don't worry, I'll talk about it later." ”

Mrs. Yiji asked Xiaocao teasingly, "Tell me yourself, what kind of husband do you want to marry in the future?" ”

Qin's family was a little nervous, but Xiao Nuan was still smiling, she was very relieved to her sister, and she heard her sister reply crisply, "Mrs. Tai, Xiaocao doesn't marry, Xiaocao wants to recruit a son-in-law." ”

Aha? Everyone was stunned, and even the little girls who were talking and laughing in one place looked back and looked at this little girl with wide eyes.

Mrs. Yiji Houtai laughed, "Okay, ambitious!" The old body thought the same way back then! What kind of son-in-law are you looking for, the old body will help you pay attention. ”

Xiaocao saw that her mother and sister didn't say anything, so she said with her own mind, "Xiaocao wants to find someone who has a good heart, can farm and manage the shop, and is good to the family, and my mother, sister, and rhubarb also think it's good." ”

How did it get to the dog, and everyone laughed.

Mrs. Li said with a smile, "The first few things are easy to say, I am afraid it is not easy to teach your mother, your sister, and rhubarb to be satisfied." ”

Concubine Su asked again, "You little girl is really interesting, where did you hear this?" ”

Qin Shi answered, "This is what I said casually, and she remembered it." ”

Hearing that it was the Qin family who said, everyone paid attention, and the old lady Yiji Hou was even more interested, "Do you really want to recruit a son-in-law for her?" ”

Qin explained, "Wait until she is over fifteen years old, and then see how it is more suitable." ”

Everyone is more steady, at least in the past seven years, they will not worry about being taken first.

Old Madam Li saw that the matter of Yongning Street had been explained, and Xiao Nuan and Xiaocao also showed their faces in front of everyone, so she no longer let them talk with these old things who had more eyes than a sieve.

"You two went to play with your sister Qiuyang, and today another cousin came to recognize him. Isn't Xiaocao going to paint, I'll let Brother Housheng take you around later, you're young, and you can go to the front yard. ”

Li Qiuyang, the second girl of the Li family, immediately came over and led the Xiaonuan sisters to Zhou Qionghua and let them know each other.

Zhou Qionghua was indeed born very beautiful, but Xiao Nuan's family looks at beauties based on Hua Concubine, so such a beauty on the upper side is not enough.

Judging from the attitude of the Li family towards these two sisters, Zhou Qionghua knew that they got along very well with the Li family, and they were a little more cordial in their conversation.

Xiao Nuan looked at her immature little face and felt that Zuo Xiang might not necessarily look down on her like this.

After the lively banquet, the older concubines and ladies rested, and the younger ladies and girls gathered in groups of three or five, or went to go out, or ate tea and chatted.

Li Housheng took Xiaocao to the front yard to play, Xiao Nuan didn't want to listen to the Li family sisters whispering to a few girls in the palace and the Hou Mansion, and was about to go to her mother's side, but saw that her mother was invited by Mrs. Li's mother-in-law.

She tilted her little head slightly, Mrs. Li called her mother over at this time, what should she do?

In the back house, Mrs. Li, who had already removed her head full of golden hairpins and jade pendants, was already sitting on the long couch, and when she saw the Qin family coming in, she patted the seat next to her and said, "Come and sit." ”

After Qin Xie sat down, he sat next to the old lady, and seeing her tired face, he said, "You sleep for a while, we are close, and we can talk whenever we want." ”

Old Madam Li sighed, "I can't sleep, I'll talk to you for a few words." ”

Seeing that Old Madam Li, who had always been strong, was worried like this, the Qin family listened honestly.

Old Madam Li was also very satisfied with the Qin family's this. Qin's heart is not much, but he is sensible and considerate, he doesn't have to think about talking to her, he feels comfortable with her by his side, and he doesn't have to worry about being calculated by her all the time.

The son's shrewd nature is not like a human being, so he should find such a person to live in order to cage his heart.

"Zhou Qionghua, you just saw her, what do you think of her?"

Old Madam Li called herself to come, just to hear the truth, Qin said truthfully, "Good appearance, refreshing temperament, the housekeeper will be a good hand in the future, but ...... Too shrewd. ”

Old Madam Li sighed again, "This child is similar to his mother when she was young. The old body looked at her, and couldn't help but think of his daughter-in-law who had been dead for many years, and he didn't feel a good feeling in his heart. ”

Yes? Qin's eyes widened, he didn't know why he answered, wondering if she had said bad things about Mrs. Li? Mama Li said that she didn't talk about the length of people, but she talked about Mrs. Li, how is this good.

Old Madam Li patted her nervously clasped hand and said, "When Housheng's mother went, Housheng was ten years old, Qiuyang was nine years old, and Qiutong was seven years old. The old man wanted to find another person for Xi Ran, but he refused to nod for the sake of the children. After so many years, the children are all older, and he still lives alone, and there is not even a person in the house to talk to. ”

"I don't know what he feels like when he sees Qionghua now, I'm afraid it's not comfortable......" Mrs. Li fell asleep as she muttered.

The Qin clan quietly retreated outside the door and let the maids go in and wait.

She lowered her head and walked out, and before she left the yard, she met Li Xiran.
