The kid pouted again, his brother Zigu wrote so well in his heart, how could this sister be unreliable and a little stupid, she could appear in this back garden alone, who else could it be? Naturally, he is the little master of the family. But in the end, he stood up to Zeng Zigu, so he replied patiently: "I am the little son of the house, my name is Ouyang Bohe, and I came here to fold some plum blossoms for my mother." ”

Banniang raised the plum blossom in her hand and said with a smile: "Then you don't have to go, we have already picked up a good fold, why don't you go with us to find your mother?" ”

Ouyang Bohe nodded.

The three of them went to Mrs. Ouyang's courtyard, and when they saw their son coming, Mrs. Ouyang hurriedly pulled him forward, and said angrily: "When you come out on this cold day, don't you wear more?" ”

He also asked him to salute Mrs. Chao: "This is the aunt of the Chao family, one of the two is the sister of the Chao family, and the other is the sister of your brother Zigu, and you should call your sister quickly." ”

This child was still arrogant in front of him, and he didn't put Chao Wenrou and Banniang in his eyes, but at this moment, he was well-behaved, and called sweetly: "Aunt Chao is good, Sister Chao is good." ”

When he called Banniang, his voice was sweet, because he was carrying Mrs. Ouyang, but he glared at Banniang fiercely.

Where did Banniang mind, she beckoned to him with a smile: "Didn't you say that you wanted to fold flowers for your aunt?" Why don't we put the flowers together and see who looks good? ”

"Okay."

Ouyang Bohe paced steady steps, took the plum branch in Banniang's hand, and ordered the maid to take out a few flowers in the vase first, and then change it to water. It's neat and orderly, but because he's so small, it's funny to watch.

From time to time, it was noon, Mrs. Ouyang left Mrs. Chao's mother and daughter and Ba Niang to eat, Mrs. Chao's wish was fulfilled, and she wanted to say goodbye and go back, but Ba Niang just came to visit, and disturbed this half a day, so she also had to go back. Mrs. Chao and Chao Wenrou asked Banniang's residence again, and invited her to go to the house to play in her spare time, so she said goodbye.

Banniang was about to follow out of the house, but was left by Mrs. Ouyang and waited for the house, before she smiled at Banniang and said, "Your aunt Chao came back for the marriage of your second brother and Miss Chao." ”

This Banniang didn't expect it, but the second brother really should get married, and seeing Mrs. Ouyang's happy appearance, it would not be a bad thing, so she smiled and said: "But the aunt of the Chao family is willing to let our family marry Sister Chao?" ”

said this, obviously knowing that the Chao family wanted to marry their daughter soon, but said that people were willing to let her family marry, Mrs. Ouyang secretly praised this girl in her heart for being able to speak, and also smiled: "The old lady of the Chao family is not in good health, and the Chao family is afraid that it will ...... It delayed the marriage of your second brother and Miss Chao's family, so I came to talk to me today, I will keep you down, just to ask you, you just came from home, and you also know the situation at home, if you do the marriage between your second brother and Miss Chao family after the New Year, can it be done? ”

Banniang said with a smile: "Our family originally had this meaning, and my father also said that he would write to his uncle and aunt of the Chao family to discuss the marriage date of the second brother and the sister of the Chao family after the New Year." Now the Chao family also has this meaning, but it is just right. In the late summer and early autumn of this year, the marriages of the fourth and fifth brothers in the family and the third uncle's Zijing brother were also completed, and only the second brother was left. ”

Zeng Zigu's marriage will be done again, and there will only be Zijian and Xiao Jiu left, and Xiao Jiu's marriage will have to wait for a few years. In this way, parents no longer have to worry about their children's marriages, and when they think of this, they suddenly remember that their brothers have nothing to worry about, and she is afraid that the family has now received a letter and is worried.

Mrs. Ouyang listened to Banniang's words, and said: "Since this is the case, when your uncle comes back in the evening, I will discuss it with him, and after the New Year, I will send a letter to your family." But in my opinion, it is better to hold the wedding in the capital, so as to save some time. ”

That being said, it is obvious that the old lady of the Chao family will probably not last long, so Banniang said: "That's just right, after all, the brothers are going to come to the capital next year, and it's okay to advance the time, but my father and mother are not there, so I will trouble Uncle Ouyang and Aunt Ouyang more." As for the wedding room, the new house I bought is very good, and I will not wronged my second sister-in-law. It's just that I'm young, I don't know much about these things, and I don't know the rules of Beijing, so I have to trouble my aunt to help me prepare more when I'm free. ”

Mrs. Ouyang listened and said with a smile: "You are a capable child, you are really likeable." After the New Year, I will go to your place to have a look, and if you have time, I will invite your sister Chao to go around, and choose the house she likes. ”

This Banniang will naturally not object, with the name of the second brother, if she wins the Jinshi in the future, she probably won't be released, if she stays in the capital, this house will be under the name of the second brother at that time, and the second sister-in-law is the future mistress of the house, so she will naturally live wherever she likes.

After saying a few more words, Mrs. Ouyang gave Banniang a pair of gold-inlaid jade bracelets as a greeting gift, and then someone sent her out of the house.

After Banniang went back, thinking that after New Year's Day, the Chao family was busy entertaining relatives and friends in Beijing, and there might not be time, so after two days, she prepared a New Year's gift and sent it to the Chao family, and asked Chao Wenrou to come to the house to play for a day.

Chao Wenrou responded and brought a lot of things over. Yuan still had the mind to see what she lacked here, thinking that she was a girl's family, living in Beijing, and no one to take care of her, she was her future sister-in-law, so she naturally cared a little more. In this way, in front of my in-laws, I can also get some recognition. is a husband, for her heart, he can treat her a little better. Besides, this sister-in-law spoke and acted, so that she could beat what she liked in her heart.

But I didn't want to come and take a look, there was nothing missing in her house, although the layout was simple, but everywhere was full of atmosphere. The Chao family is the home of the Qingliu literati, and Chao Wenrou looked at the layout of Banniang, which is very in line with her own aesthetics, and she likes it.

Banniang took Chao Wenrou into the compound and turned around the two courtyards, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard the meaning of the aunt of the Ouyang family, I felt that my second brother was getting older, and the brothers under my family had also become a family, so I wanted my sister to marry my second brother earlier, and because I was not sure that the second brother would stay in Beijing in the future, I wanted to do the marriage of the second brother and my sister in the capital, so as to save the mountains and roads to run back and forth, but delayed the time, I suggested, it is better to set the marriage room of my brother and sister in this courtyard, After all, this courtyard will also be given to the second brother in the future. Sister look at it, do you like it? If you don't like it, my sister said where she wants to live, and I'll see where there is a suitable house in the next year, and then buy another set. ”

When Chao Wenrou heard this, she secretly said in her heart, not to mention this location, in terms of size alone, it is also two or three times the size of her yard, and listening to the meaning of Banniang's words, you can buy it again if you are not satisfied. You know, just this one, I'm afraid there will be no less than tens of thousands.

After going back yesterday, my mother also said that the Zeng family is now not what it used to be, and it is very rich, she has not put it in her heart, looking at the tone of Banniang today, it is not fake. Although she doesn't care about the poverty of the Zeng family, she is of course happy if she can live a better life.
