Xiao Nuan and Xiaocao had just returned to the main courtyard of the fourth village, and the rhubarb, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed over, and Xiaocao hugged Rhubarb's neck and rubbed it.

Looking at the two little guys who missed them for a long time, Xiao Nuan had a smile on her face and asked, "My mother hasn't come back yet?" ”

Tian Guinong, the steward who commanded the chief workers to plough the fields, replied, "Lijiazhuang has not yet held a banquet, and I have to listen to the play after the banquet, and I am afraid that it will be a late morning when my wife comes back." ”

They are separated from Lijiazhuang by a wall, and the stewards and servants on both sides are very familiar, and it is most convenient to inquire about the news.

Xiaocao raised her little head, "Sister, let's go find my mother, she is too cowardly." ”

Tian Guinong hurriedly replied, "Madame sent a letter back, and asked the two girls to rest in the Zhuangzi after they came back, she was fine over there." ”

My mother said it was good, but it wasn't good but I didn't want them to worry. Xiao Nuan guessed that it might be that her mother heard about what happened on Yongning Street, so she sent a message back to tell them not to go over, lest the two of them become the most high-profile figures at the banquet.

Although Xiao Nuan was worried that her mother would not be able to cope with it alone, she still held back. She can't always be by her mother and sister's side, they have to learn to face the disturbances of the outside world alone, and the sooner they start training, the better, "Since my mother said so, let's wait at home." ”

"Okay." Xiaocao obediently complied and continued to play with rhubarb's paws.

Rhubarb lay on the ground, at her mercy. The two little guys grew up together, and the relationship was very good, and the grass sometimes couldn't grasp the strength well and hurt the rhubarb, it snorted twice at most, and never got angry.

Xiao Nuan saw the hairy appearance of the rhubarb, and the palms of her hands began to itch, so she simply picked up the brush and brushed the rhubarb. While brushing the bristles, Xiao Nuan asked Green Butterfly, "Can you hear who has gone to Lijiazhuang today?" ”

Green Butterfly had already inquired, "Except for Princess Su and Mrs. Ning, who are not in good health, the officials above the third grade in Beijing and the female dependents of the royal families have basically arrived. The second prince and the princess congratulated the old lady on the birthday of the saint and the queen, and the queen mother sent An Shun, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, to send congratulatory gifts. ”

"The old lady of Ninghou Mansion also went, and there was also the daughter of the late Mrs. Li's mother's family, the Zhou family in Jiangnan, and the Zhou family brought a daughter who was not yet married. Listening to the wire report, the Zhou family set their sights on Zuo Xiang and wanted to ask the old lady of Ninghou Mansion to protect the media. ”

Green Butterfly's report has news from the third master's side, as well as Ayaluo's way. Such hidden and unknown news should be from the third master's side.

Zuo Xiang is 47 years old this year, and his wife has been dead for more than seven years. Li Xiran's wife is the daughter of the Zhou family of the Jiangnan Wang clan, and the marriage of the two families is considered a strong alliance, and now the Zhou family has sent their daughter to Beijing to fill the house for Zuo Yuan?

Xiao Nuan felt that something was wrong, "How is this girl from the Zhou family?"

Green Butterfly said again, "I heard that she is the daughter of the Zhou family's main house, Mrs. Li's niece, her appearance and temperament are very good, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is seventeen years old this year." ”

Mrs. Lee's daughter is destined for Zuo Xiang? Xiao Nuan flicked her fingers and said with a smile, "The Zhou family is in the picture, I'm afraid there is someone else." Let's just watch the show, this has nothing to do with us. ”

In Lijiazhuang, Mrs. Fang of Ninghou Mansion was introducing Zhou's daughter-in-law, Qionghua, to Mrs. Jingguo, "My old sister-in-law is reluctant to enter Beijing, but in order for the child to have a good home, let her mother bring her over to you to see." ”

The old lady of Ninghou Mansion is also from the Zhou family in Jiangnan, and the old sister-in-law in her mouth is Zhou Qionghua's grandmother and Mrs. Li's mother.

Unlike the Queen Mother, Mrs. Li has no interest in protecting the media. But the other party is the daughter-in-law's mother's family, even if she doesn't look at the face of her daughter-in-law, but the face of several children in the family, Mrs. Li will not make the Zhou family who came from afar ugly.

She smiled and said, "Good boy, raise your head and show the old body, you were not even seven years old when I last saw you." ”

"Yes." Zhou Qionghua, who knelt down in the hall, responded generously. When she slowly raised her head, she saw that her skin was as white as snow, under her double eyelids was a pair of the most popular apricot eyes, a delicate little nose, ruddy and full lips, and a long black and beautiful hair.

Because of being stared at by these many people, Zhou Qionghua's face blushed slightly, and her snow-white skin was beautiful if she was dyed in the morning glow.

Mrs. Li complimented, "Good, very good." What does Lan'er think? ”

This voice stunned everyone in the room.

Who is Lan'er?

The Qin family, who was sitting next to Mrs. Yiji Houtai, saw Mrs. Li looking over, and realized that this voice Lan'er was actually calling her?

Although I didn't know why Old Madam Li asked herself, the Qin family still stood up and praised truthfully, "Miss Zhou looks like a fairy, and if you look at it carefully, her appearance is very similar to that of the third girl, Qiuyang. ”

The two granddaughters behind Mrs. Li are also in a large number of cousins who have not been seen for many years.

Everyone's eyes looked around between Zhou Qionghua and Li Qiutong a few times, and found that they were really a little similar. However, the temperament of the two is not the same, Zhou Qionghua is more stable, and Li Qiutong is a little happier. Mrs. Ning Houtai smiled, "Qiu Tong and Qionghua are cousins, and they have looked very similar since childhood. ”

"......" Qin didn't know how to answer, seeing her standing stupidly, Mrs. Yiji Houtai directly reached out and pulled her back to the chair, and stuffed a few small cherries into her hands, "It's okay, let's continue eating." ”

The Qin family was very envious of the calmness of the old lady Yijihou, so he really honestly ate cherries with her and watched.

With so many people, it is rare for the Qin family not to have stage fright, and it is even better to be able to talk to Yiji Houjia, who she has talked to a few times. Old Madam Li nodded towards the Qin family, and then looked at Zhou Qionghua's gaze a little deep.

It is not so much that Zhou Qionghua is very similar to Qiu Tong, but that she is very similar to Qiu Tong's mother. From temperament to appearance, it's all the same.

The Zhou family sent such a daughter to Beijing, did they really come for their son? Old Madam Li will not do what they wanted.

"Qin Anren is right, this child and Qiu Tong are like twin sisters, and the old body likes it very much. Her sister-in-law, you can take the children to live in the Zhuangzi, and let the three children get close for a few more days. ”

Hearing the old lady say that Qionghua and her granddaughter are like twin sisters, this is unintentionally asking Qionghua to fill in the house for Master Li. Zhou Qionghua's mother-in-law, Cai, was overjoyed and knelt beside her daughter to thank the old lady.

The two girls of the Li family stepped forward to convince their aunt and Zhou Qionghua, and the four of them were happy to see each other.

The Cai family was overjoyed, but Mrs. Ninghou's face was not very good-looking.

The old lady Li, who saw these in her eyes, still smiled gently, and chatted with the Cai family for a few more words, and then listened to the mother-in-law outside the door come in to send joy, "King Yi and King Sheng have come to pay tribute to the old lady." ”

King Sheng, who rarely appears on such occasions, also came? Old Madam Li was pleasantly surprised, "Invite them in." ”

Hearing that the two princes had arrived, all the ladies in the house looked at the door together, especially the girls and young daughters-in-law who came with them, and their eyes were particularly warm.

They had long heard that King Sheng was a first-class good appearance in the capital, and they must see it today, Zhou Qionghua sat with the two cousins, and looked at it shyly and curiously.

When the two tall princes entered the hall to congratulate Mrs. Li on her birthday, everyone's eyes were nailed to King Sheng, and they were even more jealous of Chen Xiaonuan's good luck.

This is really a god-like character like a rumor, how can he just look at a good-for-nothing peasant girl.

Seeing so many people staring at his son-in-law, the Qin family was very nervous.
