Chapter 296, the Fu family
Ziqing dressed up carefully, inside was a coupling-colored silk thin cotton jacket, a big red hibiscus carp Shu brocade stand-collar slanted placket, the cuffs and hem rolled an embroidered white silk wide edge, green silk sprinkled with flowers, Xiaolan combed a flying bun, Ziqing looked unliked, and said: "It's better to change to a double cloud bun." Ziqing prefers the gentleness and unassuming of the twin clouds.
This is the first time Ziqing has officially visited a big family, and when she was young, she entered the Wen family once, but she was still young at that time, and Ziqing didn't want to perform very well, this time it was different, how could she also go to support the faΓ§ade for Zixi, so that people could not see her village's spirit, so she looked down on Zixi.
Xiaolan changed Ziqing's hairstyle, inserted the step shake of red gold rubies, and dropped three pearls the size of a little thumb, and three red gold and ruby hairpins of the same color were inserted into the bun, Xiaoqing used a target mirror to let Ziqing take a look at it, and said: "Grandma's hairstyle looks more beautiful." β
Ziqing dressed up, Lin Kangping came in and saw him for a while, and said with a smile: "I am used to seeing the appearance of your small family on weekdays, but this style has suddenly changed, and I almost didn't recognize it." It's good-looking, it's not in vain that I put a lot of thought into it, I don't need the good things I found for you all the way, it's gray and moldy. β
Xiaoqing Xiaolan smiled and retreated, Lin Kangping smiled close to Ziqing's ear and smiled: "If I changed to a big red skirt, I thought I would have returned to the cave room." β
Ziqing stretched out her hand and twisted Lin Kangping's waist, "It's too late to rub it any longer." β
"I want to leave, who told you to dress up so beautifully, and you actually went to show others, I naturally didn't accept it."
Ziqing listened to his words and smiled. Standing on tiptoe and twisting Lin Kangping's face, he said with a smile: "It's really going back more and more, let the little three and four listen to this, see which of us can be more coquettish?" β
Lin Kangping stole a piece of incense. said: "What to tell them, I will only tell you." Why don't we go today? β
"Xiaoqing, Xiaolan. (LeavesΒ·~..) Come in and wait for the master to change clothes. Ziqing shouted loudly, and Xiaoqing Xiaolan really walked in.
Lin Kangping was so angry that he didn't dare to delay the business, changed his clothes, and whispered in Ziqing's ear: "Look how I clean you up at night." β
Ziqing took Xiaoqing Xiaolan and hugged Shuyu, whose name was still Zeng Ruixiang's. At that time, Ziqing played mahjong very well, Liu always laughed and said that it was protected by the God of Wealth, Zeng Ruixiang said at the time, the boy's name is Shuyu, Yu is the meaning of treasure. It also means wealth.
Shurui Shuyan will be handed over to Xiaofen Xiaolu, Xiaobai Xiaohuang is still in the stage of learning the rules, but he will also play with the child.
When he arrived in Anzhou, Lin Kangping took Ziqing directly to Fu's house, the black lacquered door looked oily, like a new brush, Xiaolan went up and handed over the post, and after a while, a forty-year-old housekeeper came out and entered the gate. It is the main hall, on both sides are the east and west wings, the verandah, the mother-in-law took Ziqing and walked through the verandah, the little maids next to him all hung their heads, and Lin Kangping stayed in the outer courtyard. Ziqing entered the second door, there was a woman in her thirties, with five or six maids standing on the steps, Ziqing hurriedly handed the child to Xiaolan, and made a salute herself, the woman hurriedly walked down the steps, took Ziqing's hand, and said with a smile: "I have been listening to my two naughty sons talking about Sister Qing, Sister Qing, and I have long wanted to see it, and I heard that you are pregnant, and I am not embarrassed to bother with the post." Today, when I look at it, it is really extraordinary, really dignified and generous, beautiful and charming, and we are even more dirty buns. β
Ziqing raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Fu, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, revealing a refreshing energy, and she also had a little closeness, wearing a peacock green brocade thin skirt, embroidered with large pink lotus, it was not cheap at first glance, and it took some effort.
Mrs. Fu took the book Yu in Xiaolan's hand and said with a smile: "This is the little boy, you are really capable, you gave birth to three sons in one go, tsk, your ears are so big, your forehead is so full, you look like a blessed child, why didn't you bring those two to take a look?" β
"It's too small, it's not naughty, and I can't manage it. (LeavesΒ·~..)" Ziqing said with a smile.
At this time, a little girl dressed as a seven or eight-year-old lady next to her pulled the corner of Mrs. Fu's clothes and said, "Mother, I also want to see my little brother." β
Mrs. Fu bent down to look at the child and said, "Look at me, I'm glad to be patronizing, and I haven't invited the guests into the house yet." β
Entering the hall, the guest and the host sat down, Xiaolan took the child, Mrs. Fu looked at Ziqing carefully, and was a little suspicious in her heart, she knew that Ziqing was born in a farmhouse, and there was a farm at home, and she heard that her son came back to study, the farm was very large, Ziqing's home was called Qingyuan, and it was not small, her son said that it was older than her family, and she still didn't believe it, wasn't it a small landlord? How good can it be?
Originally, Master Fu fell in love with Zixi, she was indeed not very sweet, no matter how promising Zixi was, she couldn't say it now, besides, she was born in a farming family, let her daughter marry into a farming family, Zixi was still studying, wouldn't her daughter want to help her mother-in-law do farm work, how did she accept this? Her daughter couldn't do it either.
Later, Zixi came to the door, she came forward to receive her, she saw Zixi, and she was a little moved, but she was not very satisfied with Zixi's background, or her daughter looked at Zixi in the back hall, and there was a little bit of a match, and then the old lady came up with an idea to let the two little grandsons live in Zeng's house in the name of increasing their knowledge.
Knowing that the fruits and vegetables are indeed planted in the yard of the Zeng family, there are several maids in the family, and they are also matched by each room, Mrs. Fu was a little hesitant, and later listened to her son's words, saying that the women of the Zeng family do not need to go to the field, and the men do not need to do the heavy work, and the fields are all tenant out, only the fruits and vegetables in their own garden need to be watered or something, and later heard about the situation of Ziqing's family, but the children said that Ziqing's food is more exquisite and exquisite than her family, which makes her a little guessy.
Mrs. Fu asked Master Fu to inquire about some things about the Zeng family, and during this period, she did privately inquire about a few families who proposed marriage, but they were not as pleasing to Zixi, which is also the reason why they didn't spit out until now about this marriage, and Ziqing guessed it.
Mrs. Fu looked at Ziqing's dress and style, and some believed the words of a few children, it seems that the Zeng family is not like what they think, just a small landlord, Ziqing brought Mrs. Fu this time The two Su brocade are high-end at first glance, and there is a set of high-grade rouge gouache from Hangzhou, which is in a small blue and white porcelain bottle, and the price is definitely not cheap. There are also two small glass target mirrors, which are from overseas, and there is a green gem inlaid in the back, after all, Mrs. Fu is somewhat knowledgeable, knows the value of things, and secretly wonders in her heart, how can Ziqing, a peasant girl, still have foreign goods? However, after seeing Ziqing's things, Mrs. Fu felt a little bottom in her heart, and Ziqing was afraid that she would come to the door to find out.
Mrs. Fu glanced at the things and said busily: "It's too expensive, the melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables you sent us last time were very good, and there is a pair of old soft-shelled turtles, how did you find them, the child's grandmother saw what she liked, and said that there was no place to buy good things with silver, and this time you gave me these, which really embarrassed me." β
Madame said and laughed, in the countryside, some of them are just things that grow out of the land, where can they enter Madame's eyes? Madame likes it, so I'll send some more next time. β
"How does this work? It's too much trouble. β
Ziqing saw the little girl snuggling next to her, and said with a smile: "This is Ling Qianjin, I don't know how old I am this year?" β
"I'm seven years old. My name is Fu Jianing, and I also have a sister named Fu Jiahe. The little girl's voice was crisp, like a jewel. Her eyebrows and eyes are more delicate than her mother's, and they are rare to have a pair of black eyes, revealing a lot of intelligence.
"Oh, Mrs. Fu has four children, two sons and two daughters, which is really good, I wish I had a daughter. I don't know how old the eldest lady is this year, and I have a younger sister who is fourteen years old this year. β
"It's a coincidence, my eldest daughter is fifteen years old this year, and she went to incense with her grandmother, and she should come back."
"It is said that the child is small, the father and mother are worried, and there are a lot of things to worry about, but when the child is older, the father and mother are also worried, thinking about how to tell the child a good family business? I don't know if the lady of the lady's family has promised to marry someone? β
"No, as you said, there are a lot of people who come to the door to propose marriage, but it is not so easy to find a hearty one." Mrs. Fu said.
As soon as Ziqing heard that the other party said that there were a lot of people who came to the door to propose marriage, after thinking about it, she also said: "The same is true of my family, my little sister's relatives have been decided in advance, and now only my little brother has not said it yet." According to my younger brother's wishes, I have to wait until I can try before marrying. My father and mother are so easy to explain to him, and they can't delay my little sister, right? I also pulled him to persuade and persuade, no, my mother is also looking everywhere, the conditions are too good, and I am afraid that people will not look down on it. As the saying goes, marrying a wife is low, marrying a daughter is high, my mother is worried that the young lady will marry and be wronged, after all, my little brother is still just a child. But the conditions are worse, and my mother is not willing to settle, as far as it seems that my younger brother's future will not be worse than my eldest brother, so my mother is also worried at home. β
"Hey, you must have never been in contact with it, but you don't know that the more children from big families, the more knowledgeable they are, and they have been managed by nurses and nurturing grandmothers since childhood, and they must not be wrong. Not to mention the official lady of a big family, even the children from a family like ours, they also understand things, since the ancient saying is good, marry a chicken with a chicken, although it is vulgar, the reason is easy to understand. When a woman marries a man, isn't she just following the customs, what is there to be wronged about? One of the most common words of my grandfather is, 'Don't bully young people into poverty.'" 'Where is the creation of the young man?' The key is to see if you can pick the right person, do you say this is the reason? β
As soon as Mrs. Fu said this, Ziqing also understood, but unfortunately, I didn't see Miss Fu, which was a little regrettable, but looking at the children of the Fu family, although they were not alluring, at least they were middle-class.
Ziqing said goodbye, Mrs. Fu stayed hard, Ziqing's chest was swollen and painful, it was time to breastfeed the child, where was the embarrassment to stay? Mrs. Fu sent a lot of return gifts, but Ziqing didn't look at it carefully, and just got into the carriage. (This site: Your support is my biggest motivation. )
