Although Mama Liang is Lin's personal maidservant and only listens to Lin's instructions to do things, but now Lin is sick and lying on the couch.

The Liang family happened to be in the house, and she was the second wife of the Gu family, so she didn't want to do things according to her instructions, so she could only do things according to her instructions at the moment.

Not long after Mama Liang sent Dr. Qin out, Feng Lao'an came to the hall and entered the inner room where the Lin family was with only a little maid.

When Gu Yutang and the Liang family saw Feng Lao'an coming, they hurriedly stood up and saluted before they dared to sit down.

The Liang family first helped Feng Lao'an to sit on the kang where the Lin family was sitting, and then said with a smile: "Why did the second uncle come over?" It turned out that I was still thinking of asking people to invite my second uncle, but I didn't think that the second uncle would come over by herself. ”

Feng Lao'an ordered Zijuan to hand the bird's nest to the little maid who was waiting in the room, "This is the bird's nest that Liulang found for me outside a few years ago, it is the best to use to replenish my body." I thought that your mother was sick and that her body must be weak, so I asked the little maid to open the storeroom and take some out. ”

Feng Lao'an was talking, got off the kang and sat in front of Lin's couch, seeing that her pale face was already covered with beads of sweat, and she didn't know what to shout in her mouth, she sighed and said, "Your mother has always been a strong person, don't force her." Since she is sick, just let her stay for a while! After your mother recovers, I will send her back to Chengjiang with you. ”

As soon as Feng Lao'an's words fell, he got up and was about to leave the hall, but Gu Yutang hurriedly got up and stopped her, "Grandmother Feng, you can accompany your grandmother here!" Grandmother loves to talk to you the most, and if she wakes up, you can talk to her. ”

Feng Lao'an saw Gu Yutang's somewhat chubby little face, and it was soft and glutinous when he said it, and it was cute. agreed to Gu Yutang, did not continue to walk out of the door, but returned to the house and sat in front of Lin's couch.

Autumn Rain Courtyard, Cai's courtyard.

Because the old lady of the Chengxian Ling family was going to have a big birthday, and the family was busy, the Tan family disliked the noisy family, so the card table was not placed in the family, but in the courtyard of the Cai family.

Tan invited three ladies, sitting opposite Cai's is Tan's, today wore a light pink embroidered cherry blossom Hangzhou silk jacket, combed a simple bun, the hairpin rings on the hair are dazzling, there are blue butterflies inlaid with pearl hairpins and plain silver tassel pendant hairpins, and the ears also wear jade earrings that are very full of water, these hand accessories are matched together, but they do not make people feel messy, but they also feel just right.

Tan touched a card and played it without thinking, "I heard that the old lady Lin in the Gu family's room also lives in your mansion, she is past the ancient age, and her spirit is better than that of the old lady in her sixties, and everyone says that she is an old immortal." My old lady heard that Mrs. Lin lived in your house, and she kept clamoring to come and visit, but my old lady was worried about the fatigue of the journey, so he didn't dare to let her come. ”

Cai Shi placed his cards and said with a smile: "Where are there so many immortals?" My eldest aunt is not a person in charge, and my sister-in-law and sister-in-law are in charge of her at home, but she is at ease, so her spirit is so good. ”

"Is that so? My old lady has just passed her sixtieth birthday, and others say that she is like a seventy-year-old, and she is in charge of that in the house all day long, and every day she gives my sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law rules and makes them kneel in the ancestral hall, my mother-in-law feels sorry for the two of them, and my old lady says a few words, which is good, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go to kneel in the ancestral hall together. ”

At this time, the person who spoke was a subordinate of Pengpucheng County Order, the third aunt and grandmother of the Dian Shi Zuo family, Su Shi, wearing a light blue flower gown and a hairpin.

"Whose old lady isn't like this? When my mother-in-law was young, she suffered a lot from my old lady, and now that my old lady has been gone for so many years, my mother-in-law has learned from my old lady to rectify our daughters-in-law. Fortunately, the Sun family Saburo I married is the youngest in the family, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law love Saburo very much, so they didn't say anything about me. ”

The woman sitting on the right side of Cai's family is the third girl of Wu Youyi's family of Chengjiang prefect, married to the third son of the wealthy merchant Sun family, and is the youngest lady among the four.

"Xiaoqing is the most blessed among us, not only married to the Sun family, but also pregnant. Now the people of the Sun family treat you like a baby, I want to invite you out to play the leaf card, your mother-in-law does not agree, if I didn't say the Gu family in Wutong Lane, I'm afraid your mother-in-law is still unwilling. Tan looked at Wu on the left and smiled.

"Sister Tan is weird and can make fun of people, if you want to say that you are blessed, who can compare to Sister Tan family? Now the second girl in your family is not only pregnant, but I heard a few days ago that she has given birth to a son, and she is still a son, which can make everyone up and down your left family happy. Wu first turned his head to Tan Dao, and then turned his head to Su Dao opposite.

The second girl of the Cheng family is married to the nephew of the Su family, because of the separation of the house, the second girl of the Cheng family is married to the left family room, and the Su family is married to the third room of the Zuo family, and the Su family can be regarded as the elder of the second girl of the Cheng family.

"Where am I blessed? It's just that you sisters boasted, if I am a blessed person, why can't my eldest girl get married so far, my old lady and my lord have been so anxious for a few days and nights that they haven't closed their eyes for a few days and nights, so they want to talk about this family affair between my eldest girl and the Zheng family. Tan said, sighing a few times.

"Didn't I hear that you went to the Zheng family and talked to Mrs. Zheng? Why, she didn't agree?" Cai touched a card, looked at his card, raised his head and asked Tan.

"The eldest lady of the Zheng family dislikes that the eldest girl of my family is an ominous person, and she killed her own mother as soon as she was born. If it weren't for the fact that my lord personally went to the Zheng family and talked to the Zheng master for a night, the Zheng family would have promised to let the two children go to the City God Temple to see each other during the temple fair on the 15th. Tan only cared about talking to himself, but he didn't notice that he was about to win.

If someone else plays another seven, she will win.

"I see that your eldest girl is fine except for not liking to talk. Where could it be an unknown person?" Su Shi, who was sitting on the right side of Tan, suddenly spoke.

"Your eldest girl is still your sister's own child, I used to always say that you were mean to her, but now that you are getting married, this dowry must be prepared well, you must not be sloppy, the Zheng family is a rich man! If you bring less dowry, it will inevitably make people look down on you and start a family. Wu on the left drank a cup of tea, and finally said what he had hidden in his heart for many years.

As soon as Wu's words came out, everyone looked at each other for a long time, and Tan didn't know how to answer.

"What Xiaoqing said is that if the dowry brought by the eldest girl is less, it will inevitably be looked down upon by the Zheng family, if the silver you have on hand is not enough, I still have some. I also grew up watching the eldest girl in your family, and I should also make up a share of this dowry money for her. In the end, it was Cai who came out to break the silence in front of him.

"How does this work? Although the eldest girl is not my own, but my sister gave birth, even if I don't be her mother, I should be her aunt, this dowry money, I have prepared it for her. Five thousand taels of silver, even if it is put in the capital, it can be regarded as a daughter of a high-ranking official and nobleman. Tan said, with a faint smile on his face, but the smile didn't know if it came from the heart?

"It's best if you think like that! It's just that those of us who are aunts still have to give our niece some dowry after all, so that she can add to the bottom of the box, so that she will not be despised by her in-laws. At this time, the person who spoke was Wu, who was not only a close friend of the biological mother of the eldest girl, but also a friend of the little Tan family.
