Chapter 36 Seventh Brother-in-law Pingfu
"Miss Hui's words are our family's erlang." The little maid entered the pavilion and replied with a smile. Between the words, I can hear a little bit of pride.
Seventh brother-in-law Wang Pingfu? When Banniang heard this, she couldn't imagine that the seventh brother-in-law was still talented. Looking at the demeanor of this maid when she replied, it seemed that she was deeply proud of Wang Erlang.
In fact, Banniang didn't know much about the literati of the Great Song Dynasty. The literati of the Great Song Dynasty reread books only on the one hand, and the calligraphy and painting of the chess and piano are probably good at everything, in fact, not to mention others, their second brother can play the piano well, but it is a pity that he works hard to make a living, and Zeng Zigu is not keen on these side learning, so she has not heard Zeng Zigu touch the piano.
Wang Pingfu Liuniang has seen it, it is not strange, seeing Banniang looking curious, because the little maid is born, he smiled and said to the little maid: "What is your name?" ”
The little maid also knew that the two sisters were generations of in-laws in the house, so her attitude was naturally respectful, and she replied with a smile: "If you return to Miss Liu, the slave maid is called Xin Yi, Miss Don't get me wrong, it's not my aunt's aunt, it's Xin Yi of Xin Yihua, and the name of the slave maid is still given by Erlang." Because when the slave maid was just bought, it was when the Xinyi flowers bloomed, and they were assigned to Erlang to serve, so Erlang gave the slave maid such a name. ”
Liu Niang smiled: "This is a nice name, and it is also worthy of your crisp and watery girl." Then bother you to make a trip, if your Erlang is fine, invite him here, and say that the two ladies of the Zeng family are here. ”
Xin Yi has been in the house for three or four years, and naturally knows that these two young ladies used to be their cousins, and now they are Erlang's aunts and sisters. If you know that the two young ladies have invited each other, you must be happy. ”
When Xin Yi went, Liu Niang smiled and said to Banniang: "Haven't you always been curious about what kind of good son Qi Niang is going to marry in the future?" I'll let you see you today. ”
"W-that's not good, is it?" Banniang was stunned, she couldn't imagine that the sixth sister had such a temperament. Listening to the wind is raining.
Liu Niang said angrily: "Look at you like that, what's not good?" He's my brother-in-law, and he's your brother-in-law, so it's okay to see him? Besides, our two families were originally relatives, you don't often come and go in Nanfeng, I am in Linchuan, I see each other from time to time, and I often play together when I was a child. It's just that I used to be his cousin, but now I'm an aunt, and I'm sorry to see him again. ”
When Liu Niang said this, Ban Niang laughed.
This family business is really ......
Just like Mrs. Wang saw her grandmother just now, her grandmother was Mrs. Wang's maternal grandmother, and now she can only vaguely call "Mrs. Wang". Fortunately, it is common, if it is only seen by chance, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
From time to time, I saw Xin Yi followed by a jade tree in the wind, wearing a moon-white round-necked robe, and a young man holding a blue flute. The sixth sister and Banniang got up to greet each other, and Wang Pingfu stepped forward to clasp his hands and saluted: "Pingfu has seen Liuniang and Eighth Sister. ”
The two of them turned sideways, and Liuniang said: "It's all a family, there's no need to be so polite, Erlang should sit down and talk." ”
Because he had never seen Banniang before, Wang Pingfu glanced at Banniang, and when he saw that Banniang was also looking at him, he showed his good-looking teeth and smiled at Banniang: "This is the little Ba Niang, right?" No wonder Liuniang you often chatter, it's really like Liuniang you said, looking cute and pitiful. ”
What is this called? Banniang said secretly, you still have to call me a cousin, just say that I am cute and pitiful?
Although he thought so in his heart, he blessed Wang Pingfu: "Seventh brother-in-law, you were playing the flute just now?" I sound weird and good. ”
The seventh brother-in-law's call was particularly tactful, Wang Pingfu was a little embarrassed to be called, his face was slightly red, and he coughed before he said: "If the eighth sister likes it, this flute will be given to you." ”
Banniang shook her head: "Brother-in-law, don't send me, you just sent me, I can't play a good tune, things should be in the hands of useful people." ”
Liuniang is funny, her brother-in-law is quite smooth. So he only drank tea and listened to the two of them talking.
Wang Pingfu was born in everyone, and he is a man, how can he be a twisted person? Zeng Liuniang is the most generous and neat person, this little eighth sister looks also ice and snow cute, when she looks at people with a pair of eyes, she can speak as if she is alive, so she thinks that her daughter-in-law who has not yet met is probably not bad, and her heart is very sweet for a while, and she smiled when she heard this: "It's nothing if you can't play, it's very simple to play the flute, it's not difficult to learn, I'll teach you." ”
Wang Pingfu is seventeen years old, and although Baniang is twelve years old, because she was seriously ill before, she looks very thin and weak, and her appearance is younger than her actual age, so Wang Pingfu only treats her as a girl.
Banniang doesn't have any concept of male and female defense, Liuniang is here again, and when she looks at her small body, she is very calm: "That's great." As he spoke, he playfully added, "When I went back to Nanfeng, I blew it to the Seventh Sister, and said that it was taught by the Seventh Brother-in-law." Thinking about it, the seventh sister must be happy. ”
The seventeen-year-old boy is the age when the love is first opened, and he listened to Banniang's joke for a while, and made a big red face, but it is not good to say that he wants to teach Banniang, so the original fall and generosity are a little more cramped. Liuniang has been playing with him since she was a child, and she usually only gets along as friends, and after listening to Banniang's words, she saw that Wang Pingfu was shy, and laughed out loud. The little eighth sister of the heart is a girl, and she is really a little ghost.
Wang Pingfu saw Liuniang laughing at her, Banniang was the first time she saw her, so she couldn't say anything, so she glared at Liuniang, and called Xin Yi, who was guarding outside: "Xinyi, go and bring the piccolo in my study and give it to Miss Ba." ”
Xin Yi had to be ordered, and was interrupted by this, and the atmosphere returned to the original relaxation, Banniang was busy asking for advice humbly, Wang Pingfu was also patiently taught, and slowly, Banniang was able to blow a few decent tones.
This time, time passed quickly, and from time to time it was noon, and Xiao Wu sent maids to invite them to eat in the front yard. On the way, Liu Niang remembered to ask Wang Pingfu: "Why didn't you go to the state school today, but at home?" ”
Wang Pingfu said with a smile: "A few days ago, I occasionally felt a cold, so I took leave to recuperate at home. ”
After lunch, Huang was too old, Mrs. Wu personally helped her to sleep for a while, and Xiao Wu was busy with family affairs, so he said to Wang Pingfu: "Erlang, Liuniang and Baniang will entertain you for a while." If you go to the garden, I'll ask the maids to prepare tea for you. ”
Wang Pingfu thought for a while and asked Liuniang and Banniang: "Why don't you go to the street together?" I just want to buy some paper and pencils, and I'm afraid that different people will buy them, it's not agreeable, the eighth sister hasn't visited Linchuan City yet, right? It just so happens that I'm the east, how about inviting you and Liuniang to go shopping together? ”
This proposal is very good, Banniang just wanted to go to the street to see, and heard Wu Sanniang say that her Tai Ruixiang also has a branch in Linchuan, so she wanted to take this opportunity to go around, and it is also good to look at the jewelry she designed, how is it sold here.
When Xiao Wu saw that the three of them decided to wander the streets, he called his mother-in-law, set up the carriage, and sent two little maids to follow them and send them to the street.
Wang Pingfu asked Ba Niang and Liu Niang all the way to gossip, and asked Ba Niang if she was used to it along the way, whether there was any seasickness, Ba Niang talked about meeting Chai Nineteen on the road, Wang Pingfu listened, and said: "Will you meet him?" ”
Seeing him say this, Banniang Qi said: "My fourth brother and fifth brother don't know this person very well, and the seventh brother-in-law is familiar with him?" ”
