738, Flower Dynasty
Probably because he saw that Xu Shu cared about this matter, Young Master Zheng Qi informed Xu Shu of the progress of the matter every once in a while, and learned that although the old lady was not very satisfied with the family that Master Zheng San fancied, and looked down on the other party's family background, but because of Zheng Wanli's age, he really couldn't afford to delay, and the other party was young and was lifted, if he won the Jinshi exam in the spring next year, the future future would be limitless, so he nodded and agreed.
can be instigated by Young Master Zheng Qi to come to the Zheng family to propose marriage to Zheng Wanli, knowing that Zheng Wanli has withdrawn from the Yue family, and not to mention Zheng Wanli's age, the family must be inferior to the Zheng family, most of them are asking for the Zheng family, hoping to use the Zheng family's power, the old lady's dissatisfaction is expected, but due to the reality, the old lady can only compromise, after all, the candidate that his father likes has nothing to do with the old lady, so he turned a blind eye to the past.
Since the old lady nodded and agreed, Master Zheng San immediately started the engagement, but because Zheng Wanfeng's wedding date was approaching, the two families agreed to wait for Zheng Wanfeng to marry before hiring, because he was not officially hired, Master Zheng San did not inform Mrs. Zheng San of this matter, which shows the indifference of the relationship between Master Zheng San and Mrs. Zheng San.
Zheng Wanli didn't know that Master Zheng San had already given her a crush on someone, and while studying diligently, she tried her best to please Mama Zeng, and never flinched from the idea of marrying into a wealthy family.
On the other hand, Mrs. Zheng San is also actively approaching the Fu family, and last year I heard from Mrs. Zheng Si that Mrs. Gui did it from the middle and the fourth room that she had dealings with the Fu family, so they were in contact with the Gui family before the New Year, and the two families also agreed to wait until the Flower Dynasty Festival to go to the suburbs together to enjoy the red.
The first month has passed, the weather is gradually warming, the earth dragon that has burned for a winter has finally stopped, and the heavy big air has begun to change into a light cloak, but Xu Shu is still afraid of the cold, hiding in the house all day long, holding the stove and refusing to go out, even the flower festival has to shrink in the house, refusing to go out, Mrs. Zheng finally coaxed people out.
"It's been a winter at home, it's time to come out to breathe, the trees in the forest are sprouting, the flowers in the garden are about to bloom, go out to see the heart will feel happy, this winter, you are listless, you can't go out on the Yuan Festival, finally the weather is warmer, you go out for a walk!"
It's just that Xu Shu refuses to go far, let alone follow everyone to go out to enjoy the flowers, "I haven't been to the temple for a long time to make incense, so I will go to Hanxi Temple to make incense, and by the way, I can also see the master, I haven't seen the master and her old man for a long time!" ”
Thinking that Xu Shu hadn't been to Hanxi Temple since the beginning of winter, Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, "It's okay, by the way, help me add some sesame oil money to the temple!" "It's good to be able to go out for a walk, besides, Xu Shu doesn't like to be lively, so she followed a group of warblers and Yanyan to go out and flutter butterflies, but I was afraid that she would rather stay at home, especially there are a few purposeful Zheng Wanli here, but Mrs. Zheng heard that Mrs. Zheng San also asked Mrs. Gui to come with her today.
"Good!" Xu Shu agreed.
Mrs. Zheng Si suddenly sighed again, "You haven't been to see your master for so long, and you haven't even copied the scriptures, I don't know if your master will blame you!" ”
Xu Shu chuckled, "Mother is too worried!" The reason why Master asked me to copy the scriptures was because I didn't want my eyes to see and let my heart go down the road that I shouldn't go, but now that my eyes can see, it doesn't matter if I copy the scriptures or not, and I took advantage of the winter when I had nothing to do, and made a lot of Buddha incense to honor Master! ”
If Xu Shu pretended to be well-behaved in front of Mrs. Zheng Si and pretended to be stupid in front of Zhou Jin, but Xu Shu never concealed the evil in her heart in front of Mrs. Miaofan, from the time she worshiped under Mrs. Miaofan, Mrs. Miaofan saw through her heart, so Mrs. Miaofan asked Xu Shu to copy the scriptures so that Xu Shu could get peace of mind.
"That's good!" Mrs. Zheng nodded.
On the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, Mrs. Zheng Si watched Yuzhu do some of Xu Shu's belongings, and personally watched Xu Shu take Yuzhu into the carriage and leave, and then turned her head to arrange for today's flower Dynasty Festival.
"I've been busy for a month, a new year, and I've finally finished what I should be busy, and I'm going to come out today to have a good time!" Mrs. Zheng takes care of the affairs of the Zheng family all the year round, and only extremely important banquets will be attended by Mrs. Zheng, and ordinary banquets are taken care of by the other three ladies.
"It's really hard for my sister-in-law to take care of the daily life of the family! It's a pity that my body is not angry, and I can't share my sister-in-law's worries! Mrs. Zheng San was slightly apologetic.
Mrs. Zheng smiled, looking at Mrs. Zheng Si coming to them after sending Xu Shu away, she couldn't help laughing, "Sister Yi was raised in the temple, and the other girls in the family are different, the other girls in the family don't like the deserted temple, and only Sister Yi can calm down, and she has to go to the temple every once in a while, and she is closer to the Buddha than to her parents and relatives, she didn't go out with her sisters last time on the Yuan Festival, and today she would rather go to the temple than go out together!" ”
Mrs. Zheng Si watched the carriage go out, and glanced at Dr. Zheng lightly before replying, "It was my fault that let her live in the temple for so many years, and now I just want to compensate her more, she has developed a dislike of excitement in the temple, and she went with her!" Besides, the scenery in the temple is also good, and there are still few people, so it is also a good place to go! ”
"The fourth brother and sister really love Sister Yi'er!" Mrs. Zheng San said with a smile, "It's just that today is the Flower Dynasty Festival, and on such an important day, it's a pity that the fourth brother and sister don't take Sister Yi to have fun!" ”
Although Mrs. Zheng San didn't want Xu Shu to go too, because today Mrs. Gui said that the Fu family would also go, if Xu Shu went, the relationship between Sifang and the Fu family would be closer, and the Fu family would naturally tend to talk to Sifang, so wouldn't Zheng Wanli have no chance? But after knowing that Xu Shu was not going today, Mrs. Zheng San couldn't help but get carried away.
Mrs. Zheng Si didn't like Mrs. Zheng San's tone of being cheap and obedient, in the past, the two maintained a good relationship on the surface, that was because there was no conflict of interest between the two, and now that they have a relationship of interest, they immediately showed hostility, so Mrs. Zheng Si was not so polite when she spoke.
"Xiao Jiu is still young, don't be in such a hurry!"
Mrs. Zheng Si lifted the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, Mrs. Zheng San's face turned red, obviously Mrs. Zheng Si was secretly mocking Zheng Wanli for being old, so Mrs. Zheng San hurriedly led Zheng Wanli out in a hurry, hoping to have an opportunity at the Flower Dynasty Festival.
