Chapter 193: Visitors from the Clear Garden (2)
Shen Wenyu didn't expect Ziqing's home to be so luxurious and comfortable, and was amazed, and said: "No wonder my mother and sister-in-law went back to praise my aunt and father for finding a rich son-in-law, but I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be so generous." In our group, the best one is married. I don't know how Xiuying and Xiushui are doing? ”
Ziqing listened and said, "We are not arrogant, but we are slightly stronger than ordinary people." The real big family, when we went in, we knew that we were nothing compared to them. If you stay, why don't I find someone to pick up Xiuying and Xiushui tomorrow, I haven't seen them for several years, and I really miss them. ”
"Well, I haven't seen them in a few years, and I miss them a little bit. It doesn't hurt if I stay an extra day. ”
Everyone sat down for a while, Xiaoqing Xiaolan neatly served tea, Ziqing took out the small headdress she bought at the temple fair in the capital, and asked each of them to pick one, everyone talked about it, and then dispersed. Ziqing was a little tired after walking for a long time, so she was lazy and passed, leaving only He to live here and accompany her for a while, He agreed very happily, Ziqing instructed Xiaoqing to make another meal and sent it in, but before it was eaten, the men of the Shen family all came in again, Ziqing asked Lin An to accompany her, fortunately, they only visited the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and saw the so-called Persian carpet at the door of the inner courtyard, and did not enter Ziqing's bedroom.
Shen Jianren's family and Shen Jianshan and Shen Jianshui stayed together, Ziqing knew that Shen Jianren was often not by He's side, but he was afraid that He would miss his son very much, after eating, resting for a while, he asked Xiaoqing Xiaolan to help them over, talked with everyone, played a few rounds of mahjong, and simply stayed at Zeng's house and didn't say anything all night.
Early the next morning, after asking Xiuying and Xiushui's residences, Ziqing instructed Lin An to take a trip. Then he asked Xia Yu, Qiu Yu, and Ziping to come over, Ziqing brought everyone to Qingyuan, and instructed Lin An to pick up the Li family of Wang Tieshan's family to come over to prepare the meal.
Xiushui and the others arrived at almost twelve o'clock, and before they entered the door, they heard Xiushui's loud voice shouting: "Qingqing." I heard that you miss me, and you don't tell me when you get married, it's too boring, but you have a conscience and know to pick me up. I heard that your family is so big and beautiful, let me see what good things are in your family? By the way, see if there's anything beautiful for me to take away? ”
When she saw Ziqing standing at the door of the main room to greet her, she let out a "wow". said: "Qingqing has really become more arrogant, and she is wearing such beautiful clothes, I don't know what material is made of?" ”
"What is this, some of Ziqing's beautiful clothes are, and some are better and more beautiful than this. I haven't seen her get married, tsk, it's a few dozen taels of silver. Qiu Yu said.
"I don't care, you're going to give me a dress today. I've never worn anything so good, so I have to wear it back to show off. Xiushui said.
Because they are both women who grew up together, Xiuying and Xiushui visited the house. After eating, Ziqing entertained them in the hall of the inner courtyard, and everyone sat on the carpet and talked about all kinds of interesting things in the past, especially when Qiu Yu mentioned the incident of singing in the middle of the night and stealing the neighbor's oranges, several people couldn't help laughing when they thought about it.
"It's better when I was a child, I don't have to care about anything, I only know how to play crazy every day, and now I have to worry about everything by myself. I'm annoyed all day long. Xiushui picked up a piece of cake and said while eating.
"Eldest sister, that's good. Since I was a child, I had to worry about my family's livelihood, raising chickens, growing vegetables, and taking care of my younger siblings. Ziqing said.
Xiushui listened to a slap and said, "It's not big or small, what a big sister." I'm my aunt, okay? ”
Xiaoqing was frightened and hurriedly said: "This aunt, you talk to talk, you can't move your hands and feet." Our grandmother's health is a little bad, but we can't bump it, and if there is a mistake, our grandfather will not have to dismantle me. ”
"What? I didn't do much either, I look at Ling now, it's really different to be Mrs. Kuo, I have become a porcelain man, I will break it when I knock it, I look at my husband, even so, I let him always hold Ling in the palm of his hand. Where is he? Why don't you come out to greet your cousin when she comes? Xiushui asked.
"I went far away, I didn't know that my cousin was coming, so I had to wronged you, so I relied on you to take care of it more, and he will personally make up for you in the future." Ziqing couldn't help laughing after speaking, and everyone laughed.
"I remember when we asked Ziqing, what kind of person did we want to marry, we all said that Ziqing didn't say anything, and then I was in a hurry, Ziqing only said for a long time, the person who wants to marry can only marry one, but now looking at the appearance of the family, so rich, he can only marry one?" Suyoung asked.
"I haven't seen Ziqing's husband, it's good for her, it's really in my hand for fear of falling, I'm afraid of melting in my mouth, Ziqing has a typhoid fever, more than half a month, my niece and son-in-law are holding Ziqing for more than half a month and haven't left the house, they haven't seen that, even my second sister-in-law admires it. What about marrying a little wife, as soon as Ziqing coughed, he panicked and didn't know what to do? As for Ziqing's usual food and clothing, which people don't pay careful attention to it, as soon as they got married, there were two personal maids waiting, and there were two little maids, who were always there. Look at the good life of others, they are also women, why is it so bad? Qiu Yu said.
"That's a must, what's wrong with us? It's all an advantage to say it, people are so beautiful don't need me to say, the key is to be so capable, and literate, settle accounts faster than anyone else, Zifu is a jinshi, Zilu and Zishou are all talented, this is a real scholarly family, can marry him a rootless foreigner, be content with him, he dares to bully us Qingqing, and it depends on whether our family agrees or not? So, we are also bitter, God has eyes. Xiushui said.
"Ziqing is bitter first and then sweet, you are sweet first and then bitter, I have never been sweet." Ziping rarely spoke, and suddenly said this.
The Xiuying sisters and Wen Yu didn't know Ziping's current situation, but from the perspective of dress and mental outlook, they also knew that Ziping's life was not satisfactory.
"Why don't we sing again, this time the garden is big, you can sing hard, it can't affect others, today there are more people, I still want to listen to the song that night." Ziqing said that the memories of girlhood are always full of warmth and nostalgia.
Xiuying Xiushui immediately responded when she heard this, and said: "Okay, okay, since that night, there has never been such a presumptuous moment, but it's a pity that I still think about it from time to time, saying that there will never be such happy singing and laughing again." ”
"What's this, you can sing as much as you want today, it's easy to have all the people today, why don't we also have a competition to see who has the best singing voice, the loudest, and who can sing the most?" Ziqing said.
"Okay, stay for a while, let's have a singing solitaire competition, whoever can't take it will be eliminated, but if you want to drill the table, the last rest, it's better to have some color." Qiu Yu said.
"Okay, I have no opinion, compare and compare, we have taken out our purses, who is the first, who picks first, who takes a fancy to whom, in the future, when I see this purse, I should think of today, how about it? It's just, who will be the referee? Xiushui asked.
"This is easy to do, let my two girls listen outside the door, and see if it is the first person to sing the best." Ziqing said.
"No, it's better for me to be the referee, I'm so old, why do you mess with this?" Xia Yu said.
"You're only a few years older than us, why are you talking about this, let's hurry up and untie the purse, I fell in love with Ziqing, but it's much more delicate than mine, and Sister Qiuyu's is not bad." Xiushui said with a smile.
"It's just that everyone plays, and there is only one missing, how inappropriate? I'll start by saying that whoever wants not to play, I won't follow. Xiuying said.
"Then how many of us haven't lifted Ziqing's roof?" Wenyu said.
A few people untied the purse and put it on the low table, Ziqing grabbed a few lots, in order, at this time, Qiu Yu suddenly said: "I'm going to die, I'm a big-bellied woman, where can I have the luck to sing, I can't compare, hum is about the same." ”
"I can't sing either, but I can't sing." Ziping said.
"Then our grandmother can't sing either." Xiaolan said.
Everyone looked at Ziqing, Ziqing smiled, and everyone said: "Okay, I don't say it yet, I don't think it's right with Ling's maid, where can it really be broken after knocking, it turns out that it's because of this, it's no wonder." ”
"Then let's not have a louder voice than anyone, let's sing solitaire." Ziqing said with a smile.
Xiushui was the first to sing, Ziqing listened to this kind of local tune, like a tea-picking opera, with a long aftertaste and very charming, everyone let go for a while, Ziqing was actually the first to be eliminated, followed by Xia Yu, Ziping, and the last to stay in the nature is Qiuyu, she has loved singing since she was a child, and her voice is good. The sound of singing mixed with laughter floated in the courtyard of the Clear Garden, and it never dispersed for a long time.
"What did you say just now, you have to drill the table if you lose, Ziqing, I'm sorry, hehe, I really want to see how Ling crawls under the table? You said, what will happen if your husband wants to know? Xiushui smiled so cunningly.
"Don't, are you really going to force me, a pregnant woman, to do such a difficult action? Why don't I invite you all to dinner? Ziqing pretended to be pitiful.
"What's this? The table of Ling's house is so high, you haven't shown your arms yet, you climb slowly, we are not in a hurry, just slowly appreciate. Xiuying smiled.
In the midst of the stalemate, the Shen family, the Xiao family, and the He family came in and said, "I heard the commotion from afar, because this garden is big, otherwise, people would really think that a group of crazy people live in it." ”
"It's not a bunch of crazy people, I'm really happy today, but it's a pity that time flies so fast, we should disperse." Xiuying said.
"It's cheap, Ziqing, it's the first thing you owe." Xiushui pointed at Ziqing and smiled.
Shen hurriedly asked what he owed, and several people covered their mouths and snickered. (To be continued)
