Chapter 31: Returning Home on Vacation
After a day and a night in the carriage, several people finally returned home two days before the Dragon Boat Festival, and the four dragged their tired bodies to the main courtyard to meet their grandfather and grandmother
Although his grandfather's eyes were full of joy, he still taught with a straight face: "The Shang family will rely on your brothers to support you in the future, and you will have a good rest in the next few days, but you must not waste your studies, if I find that you are rampant, you have learned to be a gentleman, what kind of horses to feed eagles, beautiful servants, red sleeves add fragrance, don't blame my family law for serving!" Old Man Shang picked up the teacup and prepared to moisten his throat before continuing the lesson
"Okay, you see that the children are tired, go back and rest quickly" Old Madam Shang loved their grandson the most, and hurriedly interrupted
Several people rarely regained their spirits and said in unison: "Yes", and after they left, they vaguely heard the dissatisfied voice of Old Man Shang: "I'm talking, you..."
After going out, she and her younger brothers walked separately, and Shang Mingchang and a few people lived in the West Courtyard, so they didn't go the same way as her
When she returned to the East Courtyard, she hadn't yet saluted her parents, she was surrounded by Wei and her sisters and sisters, who had always cared about whether she ate well and slept well, she patiently replied that everything was fine, and Wei was still choked with red eyes: "Big brother, you have suffered"
"Mother, the life of the academy is really not bitter at all" She knew that her mother was sentimental, and she felt most sorry for the child, so she couldn't let everyone ask like this anymore, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, what were you and your sisters talking about just now?" ”
Shang Ruodai's cheeks were slightly red and tugged at the corners of Wei's clothes, Wei stopped her tears, and said with a little excitement: "Your uncle and aunt and cousin will come over the day after tomorrow, you know your cousin Wei Zhongyi."
"Hmm" she nodded, her mother only has one eldest brother, this Wei Zhongyi is the eldest son of the eldest uncle, is it because they came here at this time to have something to do with the second sister's relatives?
"Your uncle recently took office as the county magistrate of Pingzhou County, last time I took a few sisters back to congratulate, I met your cousin" Wei sighed three times "tsk, your cousin is even more amazing, not only talented, now only eighteen years old in the examination to lift people, the future is even more promising, I am afraid that it is possible to be a jinshi!" ”
She frowned slightly, her uncle was older than her father this year, why did he suddenly become the county magistrate of Pingzhou County? Not to mention that my uncle doesn't even have a reputation, I'm afraid it's a little boring...
"Uncle, why did they suddenly come to our house this time?" She asked casually, and sure enough, when the second sister heard this, her expression was a little unnatural, her head was slightly lowered, and her ears were slightly red
Wei's face was happy: "Naturally, I came to propose marriage!" Your cousin is a decent person, and he is only eighteen years old, and now he studies hard at home every day, preparing for the spring boudoir in two years. ”
Shang Mingyang smiled a little helplessly, although it has reached the step of proposing, it is generally agreed that there will be no accidents between the two families, but the second sister has never been married, and her mother can't wait to promote her good son-in-law, but this cousin is still good, at least he has passed the exam, even if he can't pass the Jinshi exam, he can also be a parent official, seeing that Wei is still dreaming of her Jinshi son-in-law, she naturally won't say something that disappoints her fun
But Shang Ruolan didn't have this eyesight, she had long been dissatisfied with her mother's lack of attention to her in the past few days, and muttered a little unconvinced: "If the Jinshi can be so good in the exam, there will be no rich and noble family who will go to catch a son-in-law under the list, whose daughter in the capital is not pampered!" ”
Although this is a bit straightforward, it is true, Shang Mingyang silently agreed in his heart
Sure enough, Wei immediately stretched his face: "You are also pampered, why don't you see your sister half sensible?" ”
Shang Ruolan was about to reply, but Shang Mingyang pulled down her sleeve and hurriedly interjected and asked, "Which cousin has the idea of kissing our family?" ”
"The words of the parents, your uncle just agrees, and Sister Dai, your aunt has grown up since she was a child, and her character and appearance are naturally nothing, what is there to disagree with" Wei said a little proudly, turned his head and looked at his second daughter with a smile, dignified and demure, really slim...
Shang Ruodai was a little uncomfortable by Wei's fiery gaze, and shouted shyly: "Mother! ”
After hearing this, Shang Mingyang also felt that this was a good family business, his cousin was so promising, and everyone was his own person, it was better than seeing someone who had never seen it anywhere.
When she returned to the room, everything was intact, but it was still clean and tidy, it looked carefully cleaned, and her body was slimy, she asked Mama Li to send someone to fetch a bucket of water, and then sent someone out to start washing herself, and when her hair was dry, she poured into the mattress without eating
