Wang Tao replied: "The second uncle has expired this year and wants to return to Beijing to take the exam, and my grandfather said that he will come to Beijing this year to meet old friends and spend the New Year by the way, leaving the second brother and third brother to take care of the family in Jiangning." ”

"Great!" Hearing the news, Qingdai was really happy, "Second uncle, I've never seen it before!" ”

Looking at Qing Dai's smiling face, Wang Tao smiled lightly, "The second uncle's xìng son is more easy-going than my father, and you are well-behaved and sensible, he likes it when he sees you." ”

"Hey," Qingdai glanced at Wang Tao, "What books did you borrow from the Chengguo Mansion?" "It's a collection of newspapers from the Chaozhong Mansion and a collection of wonderful theories written by the ministers collected by Brother Yu"

Wang Tao saw that Qingdai was not interested, and said: "There are many kinds of books in Brother Yu's study, and there are many miscellaneous books and chivalrous travelogues, which Brother Yu has collected everywhere in the past four or five years, and there are many unique treasures.

I know you like to read those, and I'll borrow two for you the next time I get a chance to go. ”

"No wonder he was so familiar with those books in the bookstore that time, and later gave me that one and only one, which caused me to lose two of the best inkstones."

Qing Dai muttered to herself, Wang Tao didn't know why, "What is the lonely book?" ”

Qingdai smiled and shook her head, "Little cousin, you don't have to worry about me. Where can I read the books in the world, if I want to borrow books, I have to owe favors to others, and I don't want to owe them favors. ”

Wang Tao listened, "Okay, it's up to you!" ”

On July 16, the emperor went on tour, and Shangguan Hong and Wang Yang also left. Within a few days, Qingdai received a post from Tingjia inviting her to be a guest at the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion. Qing Dai didn't want to go, but was thinking about finding a reason to refuse, but Qi Zhen went to Shangguan Mansion halfway, and begged her to go with her. Qingdai couldn't bear Qi Zhen's begging, so she went with her. After meeting Tingjia, I learned that her father-in-law and Hua Shaoyan had accompanied the holy driver on a patrol, and her grandmother and mother-in-law accompanied the Queen Mother to the Nanshan Palace. Hearing that Hua Shaoyan had left, Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief.

Tingjia smiled and quipped: "How did you hear that my third uncle was gone, you seemed to be relieved?" Last time, I saw that Qi Zhen was afraid of him, how about not seeing you? ”

Qing Dai pouted and said, "What's relieved?" You read it wrong! Qi Zhen was not convinced, "He is not one nose and two eyes, I am afraid that he will do something!" Tingjia looked at Qi Zhen, "Since you are not afraid of him, how do you look at him?" Your family is not busy giving you Zhang Luo's marriage, and I really haven't found a suitable one, how about making do with me? Qi Zhen waved his hand, "Don't don't, in Qingdai's words, your third uncle looks good, but it's not my dish!" Last time in the Qin family, didn't your mother-in-law fall in love with the third girl of the Qin family and the tenth girl of the Qin family? "Don't mention it." Tingjia shook his head, and said helplessly, "Speaking of this, my mother-in-law is angry. In the end, she fell in love with the girl of the Qin family, but she just probed through Mrs. Chen's daughter-in-law, and was blocked back by Mrs. Qin. ”

"Since this can't be done, then I'm not afraid to tell the truth, Qin Zi is not a simple person, when I come to your house with your second brother and sister, tsk, you can bear it." Qi Zhen rolled her eyes and patted Qingdai on the shoulder, "Tingjia, let me give you an idea, you see that our Qingdai is good, and she is smart, compared to Qin Zi, except for being a little worse than her." If you want to choose a concubine, you should choose Qingdai like "...

"What do you say! You're strict with your ** heart! I'm only a few years old, and it's not time to find my in-laws! Qingdai pushed Qi Zhen.

Tingjia looked at the two of them, hid his face and chuckled, "Who said it wasn't." Qing Dai, if only you were a few years older! "I'm mad at you again!" Qing Dai glanced at the two of them and snorted softly.

Tingjia waved his hand at Qi Zhen, and the two stopped laughing. Qing Dai asked Tingjia at this time, "Isn't there still Miss Zhang Shi?" "My mother-in-law suspects that her family is too soft, so she didn't make up her mind, saying that she would wait for her father-in-law to come out on the tour with her......

Qingdai didn't want to mention Hua Shaoyan anymore, so she picked the conversation and talked elsewhere, Tingjia and Qi Zhen were attracted by her, and chatted according to her words, but did not discuss Hua Shaoyan's marriage again.

In mid-October, the weather was cold, and the emperor returned to Beijing after three months on tour. The women in Shangguan's mansion waited for three months, and finally sent Shangguan Hongpan home. Shangguan Hongfeng came home in a hurry, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, he brought a box of things with him when he left, and came back with three boxes.

"These two boxes were rewarded by the emperor for my meritorious work in controlling the water this time."

Xiao Feng and Liu are both full of joy, and Fu Fu is "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master." "The old lady is also pleased" Don't stand here, hurry back to the hospital, and come to Rongxi Hall for dinner later, and congratulate Feng Zhihe. After eating, Shangguan Hong said something about what he had seen and heard when he went on patrol, and glanced at Aunt Liu and Qinglian who were sitting on the side, "This time I went out to visit Dali Temple, Shaoqing Master Pan told me that he was a son and nephew and his parents died early, and he took pity on his talent and learning, and he has been living in his home to study. In the spring of this year, he won the Jinshi, and next year he will be sent to Tongqu County to make a county order. Because I haven't considered marriage after years of studying, I have two in my twenties this year. Master Pan wants to find a suitable family for him, and then go to work after marriage.

"Does the master mean that he wants to marry Master Pan?" Xiao Feng glanced at Shangguan Hong, and snorted coldly in his heart, he was still thinking about Liu Slut and her daughter when he went out.

Shangguan Hong said: "There are many people on the road, I asked casually, and I didn't make up with Master Pan, the child wanted to come back and ask his mother." ”

After hearing this, the old lady said, "Listening to you say this, it's a good family affair." Although the son of the Pan family is talented and learned, he has to find someone to inquire about his temperament. ”

The mother and son had a conversation, and it was finalized, and they only waited for the Pan family's son's love before making an agreement.

From beginning to end, Xiao Feng wanted to interject but was stopped by Shangguan Hong, so he had to shut up. Liu has been listening patiently, but he is very satisfied with this Pan Gongzi. Qinglian looked at Liu's expression and knew that she had a good impression of this Pan Gongzi, but her heart was up and down, although she promised Aunt Liu about Mrs. Ma's nephew last time, and she was no longer picky casually, but she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, in November, Shangguan Hong's news was almost inquired about, and the old lady talked to Master Pan, who was also enthusiastic, and specially invited Shangguan Hong to the house, and happened to meet the nephew of the Pan family.

After Shangguan Hong came back, he was quite satisfied with the son of the Pan family when he described the words with the old lady.

The two families verbally finalized the matter, because the time was in a hurry, so they discussed waiting for the New Year to ask the matchmaker to ask for the gift of Najib.

At the end of the month, Wang Han's family arrived in the capital. The old lady, Shangguan Hong, and Qingbi made a special trip to Hehuā Hutong to meet the old lady Wang, the old lady, and the Wang Han brothers.

Shangguan Hong, the old lady Wang, and the Wang Han brothers talked about the old lady and Qing Dai, and were led to the old lady Wang's house by Zeng.

The maid at the door reported that Qingdai was coming, and Mrs. Wang got down from the hot kang, "Dai, hurry, let my grandmother take a look." ”

"Grandmother" Qingdai threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Wang, "Qingdai misses her grandmother so much." The young lady standing behind the old lady glanced at the green dai in the old lady's arms, and said with a smile: "I said that my mother is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and she is looking forward to someone, it turns out that Zhong Lingyu is so small."

Fairy. ”

Xuan's response said: "Brother and sister are right. I haven't seen each other for three years, and the more we grow our indigo, the more like a little fairy. ”

Qing Dai was embarrassed by these two people, withdrew from Wang Lao Fùren's arms, and looked at the young fù who had just spoken, who was dressed in purple sè tuan huā orange, about thirty-four or five years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a hearty and amiable smile, which made people feel close.

"Come, this is your second aunt." Qing Dai stepped forward to give Wang Zhang's wife Fang Shi a salute, Fang Shi took Qing Dai's hand and looked it up and down, and nodded to herself, "Dai girl is born well, did you say that no one else?" If not, it will be worthy of our home defense, brother. "Go, you have a good mouth to break down and see a girl, and you will tell your son immediately." Xuan's pulled out Qingdai from Fang's hand, "The girl is thin-skinned, why do you say these things with a nose?" Besides, there is a first come, a first come, a first come. When Dai Yatou was five years old, I said that if she wants to be our family's daughter-in-law, she should first tell our brother Tao. ”

These two concubines talked and laughed, which made Qing Dai blush, how could these two aunts joke about these things like the eldest aunt.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smiled and pointed to the two disputed daughters-in-law, "Go, go, it's okay for the two of you to joke, don't be in front of the children, see that our little Qingdai is blushing." "Fang's is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and turned his head to support the old lady Shangguan" "Old lady, you see our generation, Jing Niang married early, Wan Niang was young, and she was almost raised by her two elder brothers. My sister-in-law and I don't have a daughter, and the junior has a daughter, but my sister-in-law and I have been thinking about it. Old lady, you have a lot of granddaughters, if you marry Dai Yatou to our Wang family, we will treat it as a daughter. ”

When the old lady Shangguan heard this, she laughed loudly: "It seems that our Qingdai is still a fragrant bait. Qingdai, in two years, how about your grandmother marry you to the Wang family? Do you choose a fourth cousin or a fifth cousin? "Grandmother, why are you making fun of your granddaughter?" Qing Dai's cheeks were crimson, and she pouted dissatisfied, "If you say it again, I'm annoyed!" Everyone looked at the puffed up Qing Dai and laughed, and Mrs. Wang glared at the two daughters-in-law, so she just pulled Qing Dai to her side to comfort her, and gossiped with Mrs. Shangguan for a while.

Wang Tao came over with Wang Ruan.

After Qing Dai saw the ceremony, Wang Ruan smiled and said: "I heard that the fourth brother said that my aunt's sister was born very well, and it is better to meet if I see her today." ”

Wang Ruan is one year younger than Wang Tao, born with wide eyebrows and broad eyes, very similar to the Fang family, and laughs in a cute manner.

Qing Dai Wan'er: "The fifth cousin is really good at talking. ”

Wang Tao pulled Qingdai's sleeve next to him, and whispered: "I have a new piece of Tianhuangshi, didn't you say you wanted to carve a sī chapter last time, come with me to see it later." ”

Wang Ruan shouted on the side: "You two have something good to see, but don't forget me." ”

"And me!" Xiao Fanghua also coaxed.

"Good! The fifth cousin and Fanghua all went together. 、，

"This ......"

Before Wang Tao could speak, Qing Dai had already turned around and said to the two old ladies. Wang Tao pouted helplessly, called Wang Ruan and Qing Dai, and asked the maid to go to his yard with Fanghua in her arms. Concave.!.
