Mrs. Du has always been worried about not being able to win the palm beads to be raised by her side back then, and at the same time, she and her third daughter-in-law are not very good at it.

Mrs. Du took Zhangzhu's hand and said sincerely: "Zhu'er, I missed it once back then, and I can't make a mistake again." I will keep you by my side for two years, and I will definitely raise you well, and I will also give you an explanation to your parents. ”

Two years? Two years is still a long time for Zhangzhu, she has her own plans, but at this moment, she doesn't know how to explain to Mrs. Du that she is not willing to stay in Shoufeng until she gets married.

Along the way, the grandparents and grandchildren talked, and it didn't take long to reach the ground.

The Yu family's palm beads are the first time to come, and the fourth grandmother of the Yu family is good friends with Grandma Meng, so the fourth grandmother of the Yu family came to the weeping flower gate to greet her. When Grandma Yu Si saw Mrs. Du, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Why did the old lady come in person, our old lady also said that you will definitely not show up today." ”

Mrs. Du replied with a smile: "I am bored at home all day long, and I should also come out and walk around." In addition, the weather is quite cool today, and it is the birthday of your old lady, so I should come to congratulate the old lady. ”

Grandma Yu Si caught a glimpse of Fu Zhangzhu beside Mrs. Du, but her eyes lit up, her eyes showed a little amazement, and she hurriedly said: "This sister has never seen it, she looks really good." ”

Seeing that someone praised her granddaughter, Mrs. Du, she was more and more happy, and she happily introduced her to Grandma Yu: "This is my granddaughter." ”

Grandma Yu Si was a little surprised, saying that she was the granddaughter of the Du family, but she had never seen it, so she couldn't help but look at it twice, and the palm beads were not timid, so she let Grandma Yu Si look at it.

Later, Grandma Yu Si smiled more and more: "Your Du family is really a beauty, and this sister looks really one in a hundred today." ”

The old lady became more and more happy in her heart, and Grandma Yu Si led the way, and the servants and maids surrounded the Du family and entered the weeping flower gate. It didn't take long to hear a melodious sound of silk and bamboo, a singer chanting, the voice was extraordinarily delicate, and the pipa sound was also very pleasant.

Zhangzhu followed everyone into a delicate garden, but saw that the flowers and trees were sparse, and the group was verdant, and along the cobblestone road to a pavilion, where a stage was set up and singing. The white-haired old woman sitting in the first place is today's birthday star, and there is no one to accompany her, the old birthday star looks at the play on the stage with a happy face.

When the old birthday star saw Mrs. Du, he recognized her at a glance, and the two greeted each other, and Zhangzhu and Grandma Meng saluted the old birthday star. The old birthday stared at them with a pair of eyes, and after looking at them for a long time, he asked the eldest daughter-in-law in front of him: "Who is the little girl on the side, why don't you know each other?" ”

When Mrs. Du heard this, she pushed the palm bead forward and introduced enthusiastically: "This is the daughter of our family Wenhui, and the old lady looks like my grandson like Wenhui." ”

Old Madam Yu looked at a pair of dizzy eyes for a long time and said, "No wonder I feel familiar, but I can't remember who it is." ”

At the beginning, Mrs. Yu's five sons fell in love with Zhangzhu's biological mother and wanted to ask to marry, and Mrs. Yu was also very satisfied with this family affair, but at that time, Du Biao disliked Yu Lao Wu and couldn't read, he loved to sing the wind and the moon, and he had no ability to stand up, and he was reluctant to marry his only daughter to the Yu family. Later, when they married into the Fu family, the Du family was not satisfied with Zhangzhu's father, but they had no choice but to fall in love with their daughter, and the couple loved their daughter very much, so they had to respond to this family business.

The Du and Yu families did not get married, and they did not have a grudge because of this, and the two families still have dealings. That Yu Lao Wu later married a young lady from the prefect's family, and it is said that he has become a ticket friend, and he once worshipped an old student of an opera troupe to learn opera, and was beaten severely by Mrs. Yu after she found out.

Old Madam Du sat down next to Old Madam Yu, letting Zhangzhu accompany her, and Yun Ying, Yun Lan sisters and Grandma Meng were together.

When she was still Xie Ruoyi, she had a bold temperament and liked to be more lively, but after experiencing family changes and death, her temperament changed greatly, and she preferred to stay alone many times, and she didn't like such a lively scene. I can't listen to a single word of those lively and auspicious dramas. She wasn't interested in the conversations of the people around her.

Mrs. Yu San over there saw that Zhangzhu was sitting quietly next to Mrs. Du, although she looked very well-behaved, her face showed a sense of loneliness. Mrs. Yu San secretly pulled the sleeve of Zhangzhu, and Zhangzhu turned her head to look, but saw a strange woman's face.

The woman looked like she was in her thirties, white and fat, and she wore a ruby hairpin in her bun very dazzlingly. Zhangzhu was slightly surprised, she didn't know this person.

Mrs. Yu San smiled and said to the palm beads: "Your mother looked similar to you when she was young, and I recognized you as soon as you showed your face." It's just that when you were young, your mother was gone, do you remember her? ”

Zhangzhu shook her head at first, and then nodded, and Mrs. Yu San couldn't help but sigh when she saw it: "It's a pity, your mother seems to have just turned twenty years old when she left." After the fifth child of our family learned the news, it is said that he secretly cried at home, if he really married into our family, maybe he would not have suffered this catastrophe. ”

Zhangzhu said lightly: "Since ancient times, there has been a definite number of blessings and misfortunes. ”

Mrs. Yu San smiled: "This is also true. Miss Fu is sixteen or seventeen years old this year, right? ”

Zhangzhu replied truthfully: "I passed my sixteenth birthday in March. ”

Mrs. Yu San then smiled and said, "It's really good to be a flower-like age. It's still comfortable to be a girl at home, and you don't have to worry about anything. ”

But Zhangzhu is not comfortable at all.

After watching the play for a long time, I saw a lot of fresh faces, how to greet and salute under the guidance of Mrs. Du, it seems to be cumbersome, but the palm beads are good.

At lunchtime, Zhangzhu was still by my grandmother's side, diligently helping Bucai, and from time to time reminding her in her ear that eating too many things was not good for her health. Mrs. Du was happy throughout the whole process, and did not show impatience.

After dinner, she was still watching the play, and Mrs. Du was afraid that Zhangzhu would stay by her side for too long and detain her, so she said to her: "You better go and play with Sister Yunying, it's enough to accompany me all morning." ”

After taking the palm beads away, Mrs. Du smiled and said to Mrs. Yu: "Young people still have to be with young people, it's not interesting to follow us old women." ”

When Mrs. Yu heard it, she asked directly: "Old Mrs. Du, did this Fu girl in your family say kiss?" ”

When Mrs. Du heard this, she did not hesitate in her heart, and replied in front of everyone: "Not yet, this is not the right one." ”

"Sixteen years old haven't said kiss yet? The old lady still plans to keep her? ”

Mrs. Du said: "After all, she doesn't have parents, so it is naturally more difficult to kiss." "Naturally, she is not good at saying it to her face, and Zhangzhu is now a widow.
