Chapter Twenty-Seven: Beauty Scheme
"The three of us haven't been home for a long time, so why don't we go and visit our aunt, and we won't lose our courtesy." After a while, Zou Zheng spoke. The other two glanced at each other, nodded approvingly, and then turned and walked towards the gate of Magnolia Garden.
In the Magnolia Garden, several maids and maids were sent to the wasteland in the southeast corner to pull weeds, and there was not even a gatekeeper. Even so, those subordinates had nothing to say, and the doctor kept saying that it was cleaned up, but as soon as the lady came in, she found some faults, what weeds, rocks, pruning, interior furnishings, none of which were done.
Several maids and wives are all people from the Wei family, and they know that this garden is indeed not very carefully tied, and they think that Miss Table is a small place and don't care and don't understand these, who knows that people can see the clues at a glance, Miss Table is displeased, how dare people slack off, Shulan, who was punished with a cane a few days ago, is a living example, not to mention that they are not the most important people around the eldest lady.
The three brothers entered the Magnolia Garden one after the other, and the whole courtyard was quiet, and the silver bell-like laughter just now disappeared.
Just as a few people were hesitating, a little maid hurriedly walked over.
"Hua Lian has seen the three sons, are the three sons here to meet my wife?"
Zou Zheng bowed slightly, "Exactly, the troublesome girl leads the way." ”
"Childe, please come with me."
The three of them followed Hua Lian to the main hall, and Zou stood up from his chair with a smile on his eyes.
"Kid Zou Zheng."
"Kid Zou Shibo"
"Boy Zou Chuan"
"I've seen my aunt." The three of them bowed together, and Zou stepped forward with a smile and helped him, "Hehe, a few sons and brothers are really talented, when I saw you a few years ago, you were all hairy boys, but now you have grown up, sit down." The sixth woman served tea to a few people, and slowly retreated to the Zou family.
Several people sat down, and the corner of their eyes swept to other places from time to time, as if they were looking for something, but Zou didn't pay attention and still looked them up and down.
"Zheng'er heard that you have made new achievements, and my aunt congratulates you, you are really young and promising."
"My aunt has won the award, but some small merits are not enough to worry about."
"Zheng'er is too modest, I think how heroic your grandfather was on the battlefield back then, and now Zheng'er has the appearance of your grandfather when he was young."
"How dare Zheng'er compare with his grandfather." Zou Zheng smiled slightly and lowered his head modestly.
"I heard that Bo'er will have a good score in the exam, and he is about to take the palace exam?" Zou turned his head to look at Zou Shibo again.
"Yes, auntie."
"Bo'er is really promising, I will definitely be able to go high school in this year's palace exam, and my aunt is waiting to celebrate you."
"Aunt Xie's words." Zou Shibo also smiled shyly.
"Although Chuan'er is young, I heard that she is also very smart, and she will have a bright future in the future."
"My aunt has won the prize." Zou Chuan smiled frankly, this time he came purely to see the excitement of the two brothers, and to see who his aunt would like more.
Zou Zheng glanced at Zou and said in a gentle voice: "Can my aunt adapt to everything when she comes to the Guogong Mansion this time?" Whatever is lacking, let it be commanded. ”
Zou nodded, "It's not easy for us to come to bother, your mother has settled us well, and we are very content." ”
"Why should my aunt be polite, what bothers is not bothered, it is a family, why bother to talk about two families." Zou Zheng said again.
A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, but they didn't see the legendary cousin appear, but the shadow of the girl in white that they had just seen on the arched bridge lingered in their hearts for a long time.
Finally, Zou Chuan couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, why don't you see my cousin and cousin, it's the first time I come to the capital, if they want to go out to play, we can lead the way." ”
Zou Shibo gave Zou Chuan an appreciative look, and Zou Chuan understood.
"Your cousin Jiang Hai lives in the Jiang Mansion, as for your cousin, she was still outside just now, Xu is busy cleaning up the courtyard, don't worry about them, they each have their own things, how dare you bother a few virtuous nephews, you are also very busy." Zou said and took a sip of tea.
Zou Chuan wanted to say something more but was glared at by Zou Shibo, and the three brothers didn't stay for long, got up and left, and Zou personally sent them to the door.
A few people are still reluctant to turn around, just about to step out of the yard, suddenly a beautiful shadow appeared from a corner in the distance, the brothers looked over together, but saw a girl dressed in white, fresh and refined, standing in the sun and the little girl named Hua Lian just now had a laugh.
Zou followed their gaze when he saw Jiang Yu, so he shouted helplessly: "Yu'er, come here." ”
Jiang Yu turned his head and saw his mother standing with a group of people, so he walked over slowly, still maintaining the smile on his face just now, this smile seemed to have the ability to be contagious, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously when others saw it.
The girl approached, and the brothers finally saw her face clearly, and suddenly felt that they had been deceived by a huge lie, who said that she was extremely ugly?
This is simply the most beautiful fairy in the world, the black hair is like a waterfall, the skin is as crystal clear and tender as snow, the eyes are burning, the lips are ruddy, and the smile is even more fascinating.
Seeing that the three strange men beside her mother were looking at her intently, Jiang Yu smiled shyly, her big eyes blinked, and her thick eyelashes half-covered the shyness, and the hearts of several people who watched it were pounding.
"Mother, who are these?"
Zou didn't know why he looked at his daughter today, I didn't see her so good at dressing up a few days ago, what's wrong with this one, I came back to my senses when I heard Jiang Yu speak.
"Oh, Yu'er, these are your cousins, this is your eldest cousin Zou Zheng, this is the second cousin Zou Shibo, and the third cousin Zou Chuan."
"Yu'er has seen three cousins." Jiang Yu bent down slightly, and several people hurriedly waved their hands.
"Cousin Yu'er, why be polite, please get up quickly." Zou Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, looking at Jiang Yu's eyes covered with a layer of friendship.
Jiang Yu stopped speaking and retreated to the side, obviously the eyes of several people were shaking with her, and Zou frowned: "Then my aunt will be sent here, a few of you will go slowly." ”
"Okay, aunt and cousin stay." Zou Zheng was the first to react and take the lead to walk out, and Zou Shibo and Zou Chuan couldn't help but turn back.
Jiang Yu snorted coldly in his heart: "Hmph, beauty tricks, I didn't use it less in the previous life, but I didn't have to go out myself, today is really cheap for you, but soon some people will be unbearable." ”
Zou looked at Jiang Yu with a puzzled expression, "Yu'er, why is this?" ”
"Didn't my mother want me to marry into the Guogong Mansion?" Jiang Yu asked rhetorically. Zou was a little flustered, "Yes, it was true at first, but your grandmother's matter dispelled this thought, Yu'er, you can't stay here." Zou said solemnly.
Jiang Yu smiled silently.
