Three hundred and twenty-two: Lantern Festival
The cold wind howled in the pavilion, freezing so cold that both of them wrapped their cloaks tightly, and the stove in their hands trembled as they shivered.
After a while, Su Yao came out first, followed by Mei Yuan, the two did not speak, but they both had smiles on their faces, Mei Zhenglin came out after his father, then Qin Manhuai and Kang Jinglan, Chu Shi, Su Jinyao, the four of them talked and laughed, and the two Yao also saw Chu Shi take off a bracelet from his wrist and stuff it into Kang Jinglan's hand.
"Is this done?" Su Yunyao and Su Moyao looked at each other.
"Jin Yao, this kid is really sensible, I like it tightly!" Chu Shi stroked Su Jinyao's back and said, "Teaching such a well-behaved daughter, the third lady is really excellent, look, this is what everyone looks like, that girl in my family is like a naughty boy all day long, she doesn't listen to upbringing, and it doesn't take a while to let me worry." As soon as he went out, Chu Shi gushed endlessly.
"Mrs. May is really polite!" The smile on Kang Jinglan's face was undisguised, "You also said just now, the daughter of the family is only ten years old, it is the time to play, my family Jin'er didn't let me worry when I was a child, and the girl will naturally be stable when she is older." ”
"That's also Jin Yao, this kid is good, don't be modest!" Chu smiled very sincerely, "Okay, don't send it, I'll go back, I'll come back after a while!" ”
Hearing this, can the two Yao still not understand? If it doesn't work out, there will be a chance to visit again.
After sending the Mei family away, Su Moyao pulled Su Jinyao into Qinzhuxuan, with a good show posture, "Sister Jiu, tell me what's going on today." ”
"Didn't you all see it?" Su Jinyao asked.
As soon as she came out of the flower hall, she saw her two younger sisters eavesdropping in the pavilion.
Su Yunyao was a little weak-hearted: "Isn't this a checkpoint for Sister Jiu, you are so good?" My sister and I have been freezing outside for a long time. ”
"Actually, nothing happened, just let me meet with the Mei family."
"Yo, who did our ninth sister call Dalang?" The two Yao glanced at each other and laughed.
Looking at Su Jinyao, her face was red at this moment.
"Alright, alright! Don't make fun of me! Su Jinyao blushed and said, "My father has decided on my family affairs, and it is the middle of summer this year. ”
"Really? This year, our family can have a happy event again! Su Moyao almost jumped up with excitement.
"The eighth brother is estimated to get married in the spring, and the ninth sister is close behind the eighth brother." Su Yunyao said.
"Don't mention it, I'm... Not ready yet. ”
"There's still half a year for you to prepare, what are you afraid of?" Su Moyao said.
Since ancient times, her daughter's marriage has been subject to the words of her parents, and Su Jinyao can't escape, she originally thought that the person she married must not be her favorite, but when she saw Mei Zhenglin, she thought about marrying him.
"Sister Jiu, what do you think of the Mei family's son?" Su Yunyao is concerned about this matter.
Although it is said that the matter of marrying and marrying a wife must obey the orders of the family, but the daughter's family still wants to marry a person who agrees, otherwise marry someone who does not like it at first sight, how will she live for decades in the future?
Su Yunyao didn't want her sister to endure being tired so much, and spent most of her life in a daze.
"I'll see it's okay." Su Jinyao said embarrassedly, "That Mei Gongzi is a small face, and he can't even say a word when he sees me." ”
"Oh! It turns out that our ninth sister likes to be easy to be shy? In Su Moyao's eyes, there was a kind of wisdom that saw through everything.
"Not really! Such a person will not have too much fancy thoughts, nor will he mess around outside, you look at our eldest brother, when he asked to marry the sister-in-law of the Meng family, he couldn't swear on the spot according to the hatred of the Cao family, it was simply a lotus flower, and the Meng family not only married his daughter, but also lost so much dowry. Sometimes the matter of getting married has nothing to do with the length of time, and many couples have more friction after most of their lives. ”
"Sister Jiu's words are reasonable." Su Yunyao agreed.
But now she remembered what was beside her.
If it is said that there must be a lot of people with powerful mouths, what about Bai Chuheng?
In Su Yunyao's eyes, he has always been a very powerful mouth, and he has a lot of eyes, and there are many ways to do it, as if nothing can be difficult for him.
"If you want to marry a person who is completely suitable, it is not easy to ascend to the sky, if you want to find someone who looks like you, you can't accept it if you can't keep his family in the four walls, and if you want to find a mother-in-law who doesn't make it difficult, maybe your husband often fools around outside and doesn't return at night, if you want to find a powerful person in the family, maybe your mother-in-law will ask you to give birth to a few boys, if this kind of thing is all in line with your heart, it is really impossible."
Su Jinyao is very open to this kind of thing.
"That ninth sister is quite satisfied with this family business?"
"Satisfied, why not?" Su Jinyao said, "I used to envy the fourth sister, I felt that the fourth sister's wife was good-looking, the family is good, and the most important thing is that the fourth sister hurts like a heart, but now I met Mei Gongzi, and suddenly I feel that Mei Gongzi is a better person than the fourth brother-in-law, why are you not satisfied." ”
"If the ninth sister likes it, the second sister didn't marry well at the beginning, but now it's also smooth, the fourth sister has been happy since she went out to the present, the third sister and the seventh sister don't mention it for the time being, cousin Qingyao is married well, and several brothers also have families, our big family is about to be deserted." Su Yunyao said, unexpectedly feeling a little sad.
With the end of the year, more than half of the winter has passed, but there are two snows in the early spring, each snow is not small, the weather finally warmed up for two days, and then it was cold again.
Qin Manhuai said that the spring was very cold, and he instructed each yard to keep the charcoal warm or do a good job.
When the Shangyuan Festival arrived, it was still snowing.
For this festival, the names of various places are different, there are called small New Year's Month, there are called Yuan Xi, there are also called Lantern Festival, for the first festival after the year, the excitement on the street is not as good as the Dragon Boat Festival.
There are all kinds of Lantern Festivals on the street, round and white and fat, and they squint at the soup and eat sweet.
A few Yao and Su Yingchen went out together, went to the street to buy flower head rope to braided hair, and bought Lantern Festival to eat.
A small bowl of hawthorn stuffed Lantern Festival entered her stomach, and Su Wanyao's eyes narrowed, "This hawthorn must have been dried after the autumn, it's really sour!" ”
"Try me, the jujube paste is very sweet." Su Jinyao evened one in her bowl.
The girls and sons of other families on this kind of festival also want to come out for a visit, such as Luo Shu, Sun Liying, Xiao Jingjing and Lin Yueci.
Bai Chuheng also came out with Bai Chusui today, and walked around the street without meeting Su Yunyao, but met Luo Shu by mistake.
"Little grandfather!" Luo Shu beckoned to him, and when she got closer, she smiled and opened her mouth to say, "Little grandfather, he is also alone today?" ”
"What do you mean?" Bai Chuheng pretended not to hear the hint in her words, "My greedy brother went to buy the Lantern Festival, what's the matter, Miss Luo is alone?" ”
Luo Shu pretended to be pitiful and blinked her big eyes, her eyelashes were like a fan, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "I heard that Qiao Lan, the girl of the Qiao family, encountered such a terrible thing last year, I was so panicked, fortunately I met the little grandfather!" ”
This kind of trick of pretending to be pitiful and miserable when you come up, Bai Chuheng can't eat this set.
"Miss Luo didn't come out alone, isn't there still a maid and a family servant? I still have something to do, so I can't talk to Miss Luo for the time being, I'll see you later. ”
"Don't go, little grandpa, I'm afraid!"
Luo Shu was almost crying, but Bai Chuheng didn't mean to stop, walked to the Lantern Festival shop on the side, carried Bai Chuxun's neck, and almost 'ran away'.
"Girl, let's go elsewhere, the little grandfather doesn't let people get close, I'm afraid it will hurt the girl." The maid persuaded bitterly.
"Shut up!" Luo Shu reached out and touched her bun, "If I like it, there is nothing I can't get!" ”
"What are you talking about?" Lin Yueci came from behind her, and she only heard this sentence, so she asked.
"Miss Lin?" Luo Shu suddenly retracted Fang Cai's face, and asked with a smile, "Miss Lin also came out today?" ”
Looking at Luo Shu's appearance, Lin Yueci really disliked it, but she still answered her words, and said arrogantly, "There are a bunch of lanterns at home, but I don't have anything to say about it, so I want to go outside." ”
"The Lantern Festival in the shop over there tastes very good, Miss Lin can you taste it?"
"No need." Lin Yueci covered her nose with a handkerchief, "The things outside are not clean, I never eat outside, I advise you not to eat anything outside, they don't wash their hands when they do Lantern Festival." ”
Seeing that Lin Yueci didn't give herself face like this, although Luo Shu was angry, she couldn't say anything after all.
The Lin family is now in full swing, although Lin Yueci's father Lin Dehui has no great prospects, and his official position is similar to that of Luo Shu's father, but he can't stand the plot of Concubine Lin Xian and Taiwei Lin, and he can't stand the fact that Concubine Lin Xian will give birth to a prince like King Heng.
So even if she lowered her face in public, Luo Shu could only smile and couldn't even say a word.
Looking at Luo Shu, who was silent because she was afraid of herself, Lin Yueci couldn't be happier in her heart, she liked to see others like this.
"What did you just say?"
"I said..."Luo Shu was stunned for a moment.
She can't tell Lin Yueci that she wants to get Bai Chuheng, right?
"I said that there is a Lantern Festival that is doing very well, and the maid persuaded her to eat too much and it is not good to eat, and she is interceding with the maid."
"Can't even hold down a maid?" Lin Yueci looked Luo Shu up and down, "How can you do this?" Our Lin family goes up to Mama down to the kitchen to do chores, which one doesn't obey me? If you are a slave or a maidservant, you will have to be beaten, otherwise you will be a maid and let the family be the master. ”
"Yes, that's what Miss Lin said."
Having said that, where is Luo Shu convinced? I almost couldn't hang on this dough, it was hot, as if someone had been shaved a few times.
