Early the next morning, Zeng's third wife, An's, invited the official media Mrs. Zhang to go to the Lu Mansion together, and Mrs. Zhang just married a daughter for the Zeng family, so she took over the business of the Zeng family's daughter-in-law, and she was very happy. Because when Liu Niang got married, she got a lot of rewards, and this time she naturally worked hard to make this family affair happen.

And Mrs. Lu saw that early in the morning, not only did An come in person, but also brought the official media, and felt that the Zeng family had given enough face to their own family this time, and naturally warmly received An's, because they had communicated before, and the matter went straight to the point, and they turned over politely to each other, Mrs. Lu wrote Lu Siniang's birthday eight characters, handed it to An's, and waited for the eight characters, and then found a teahouse or garden and other elegant places to look at each other, go through the motions, and then make a ceremony.

After An's went back, he took Zijing's eight characters and landed Siniang's eight characters, and found someone to meet, the road is a good fate, the family is very happy, only the third master is about to take office, it is not good to put it off, and because Fu decided to stay, and after a few days go to Li Jin's Xujiang Academy to study, so An asked Zijian to go with his father first, take care of his father along the way, and asked Aunt Yang to take a little maid to take care of his father and son's diet and daily life, she and Yunxian and Zijing stayed temporarily, and then went to Fuzhou after Zijing's family affairs were decided.

On the one hand, it is the sadness of parting, and on the other hand, it is the happy event of Zijing's marriage, and the Zeng family is a mixture of joy and sorrow. After waiting for two days, I packed up and sent away Zeng San's father and son. And the Zeng and Lu families also set a day to see each other, because they knew each other well before, but they were just going through the motions.

On that day, it was set in the Ruyi Building, the Zeng family was the male protagonist, according to the current customs, four wine glasses were prepared, and two wine glasses were prepared for the Lu family. The two families agreed through the matchmaker on the day of the eighth day of the sixth month to give a small gift, and then waved goodbye and went to their respective homes.

On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, Mrs. Zhang led the people, carrying the dowry list, carrying a large wine jar filled with wine, eight big red flowers tied to the burden, and eight kinds of head jewelry and ornaments, and carried them to the Lu Mansion. From time to time, the return gift of the Lu Mansion was also sent to Zeng's house, but it was two bottles filled with fresh water, three or five live fish, and a pair of golden chopsticks, which were placed in the big jar of wine in front of them.

After deciding on the family matter, Zijing had a smile on his face all day long, and discussed with An's again: "Mother, since the eldest brother stays and wants to enter Xujiang College, why don't I stay here and go to Xujiang College with my eldest brother to study, can I succeed?" If I have the opportunity to study with Mr. Xujiang, I can also make great progress in my studies. Besides, if I go to Beijing for the entrance exam, I will also have to study in the state school, and I will have to go back to Nanfeng for enrollment in one year. Staying now saves you more time running back and forth. ”

An Shi thought about it, staying in Nanfeng, and Zigu also helped to urge their brothers to study, not afraid that they would slack off in their studies, but it was better than going to Fuzhou. After all, the lord over there is busy with official business, and there are not many times when he can really manage their brothers and guide their studies, not to mention that famous teachers are difficult to find, and the style of study in Fuzhou cannot be compared with Jiangxi. And Mr. Xujiang is also the most famous gentleman in the whole Jiangxi, that is, Zigu, who used to worship under his door, and now that he has built a college, why not let his sons study for two years?

"You have this motivated heart, and your mother is also happy, so you will stay, only me and your father are not in front of you, you must not relax on this, you must learn more with your brothers, mother and your father, and wait for your brothers to be able to go to high school in one fell swoop in the future and shine in the court."

He said to Zeng Zigu again: "Erlang, I will hand over both of their brothers to you." Since Zifu and Zijing both stayed, when I went back to Fuzhou, I simply asked Zijian to come back and study with you. ”

Zeng Zigu hurriedly responded.

Yun Xian on the side looked at her brother to stay, but she was very reluctant to follow her father and mother to take office, but if she stayed, she didn't worry that there was no one in front of her mother to fulfill her filial piety. Banniang comforted: "After all, Fuzhou is not far from us." If you and the third aunt want to come back one day, write a letter back, and we will pick you and the third aunt back. Sister Lu and Sister Wu often write to you, even Sister Lu Si and Sister Wu San, I will also ask them to write to you often, and you will not be idle for you, maybe you will see our letters in the future, and you will think that we have written too much, and you are annoyed. ”

In this way, the Zeng family took care of An's and Yunxian's outfits, and because Jing didn't follow, they sent Xu Shisan to send the mother and daughter and the two little maids to Fuzhou.

Over there, Lu Siniang and Wu Sanniang heard that Yun Xian was leaving, so Wu Sanniang was the east, and the largest private room in the backyard was chartered in Banniang's Sheraton.

Lu Siniang was a little embarrassed because she became Yunxian's sister-in-law, but the two became closer. After the banquet was dispersed, Lu Siniang also deliberately asked Xiao Lu to take a package, and said with a smile: "This is prepared for you a long time ago, it is an eight-piece Luo skirt made according to your size, with primrose-colored smoke Luo yarn, I saw that Banniang has one, it looks very good, just a few days ago, my aunt got some material, because the color was too tender, so I gave it to me, and I was not suitable for this color, so I made one for you, I wanted you to send it to you when you left, it happened to be hot, just to wear." There is also a pattern of butterflies wearing flowers embroidered on it, I think you will like it, but I can't compare with the sixth sister and seventh sister of the Zeng family, if you don't agree, you will be on it. Speaking of this, his face turned red, and he said: "There are also a pair of summer shoes embroidered with ink and gold Ruyi, which are for the third lady, and I hope you will help me give them to the third aunt." ”

Yun Xian quipped: "What else do you call the third lady and the third aunt, just call the mother, and be more affectionate." But at this time, Lu Siniang is her sister-in-law, not to mention that she is joking, even if others are joking, she also has to protect it, so her eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles, but she still has a straight face, nodded and said: "I will definitely send it to you, the fourth sister is not modest, after all, she is much stronger than me, my mother always scolds me for being a female red, I have studied for a few years, and I have not grown at all." ”

The two talked quietly for a while, and Wu Sanniang came over and quipped: "Yo, this has become a sister-in-law, and she is more intimate than us, and if you continue to talk about it, Cang'er and I will be jealous." ”

Yun Xian just laughed, but Lu Siniang blushed, so she stepped forward and twisted Wu Sanniang's mouth: "Tell you to talk about it, I don't believe it, you didn't tell us to talk about it." Thinking about Wu Sanniang's marriage going wrong, I was afraid that she would be too careful, so I hurriedly changed the topic, "Didn't you say that you stayed to talk to Banniang?" Then let's go back first. ”

said goodbye to a few people. When several other young ladies who knew each other heard this, they also took their leave.

Banniang and Yun Xian sent them out together, and each got into the carriage of the Hu family, and then returned to the private room, Yun Xian couldn't wait to open the package and look at the skirt that Lu Siniang made for her.

The light primrose-colored Luo gauze and silky silver, looking from a distance, is like a piece of fresh green in early spring, jumping with a little fluorescent fire. At the skirt, with light pink goose yellow and light purple, through the fine flowers and butterflies, under a closer look, the stitches are fine, like the painting on the mirror, but she is also humble needlework is not as good as Liu Niang and Qi Niang. And this Luo skirt really took a lot of thought, I really don't know how she made it in such a short period of time.

Wu Sanniang said with a smile: "These four girls, but it really opened our eyes, such a beautiful skirt, where is it used to wear, it is really like that painting, it is for people to see, not to mention the virtuous girl, it is the woman who is three colors, wearing this, it is enough to show ten colors." ”

Banniang also pouted deliberately: "Fourth Sister Lu is really eccentric, if you want to say small, I am younger than Sister Xian, I have known her for a long time, I have known her for nearly a year, in the end, I am a sister-in-law, now I know how to please, but I don't want to, I am also a sister-in-law." ”

Wu Sanniang scolded with a smile: "You are embarrassed to say, it is true that you are a sister-in-law, but again, you are still someone's sister-in-law, you look at the sister-in-law of Siniang, you look at yourself, have you ever made such a beautiful dress for Siniang?" ”

Banniang smiled and changed the topic: "Third sister, didn't you say that you have something to discuss with me?" We have a lot of things to do at home these days, and we have been busy for a long time, and I haven't talked to you for a long time. ”

Yun Xian and Cang Er saw that they had something to discuss, so Cang Er said to go to the front hall to have a look, and Yun Xian also avoided it, saying that he was going to the kitchen to ask the master master for cooking skills.

When the two of them went out, Wu Sanniang sat down with Banniang, asked someone to take the food on the table, changed the tea, and then said: "You are busy these days, and I haven't taken anything serious to tell you, but now that you can be idle, and it's almost summer, I thought, our wooden business, should also be prepared urgently." ”
