Chapter 165: Someone Comes to the Door

Chunying's letter home, and there was a reply within a few days. Lu's mother asked an acquaintance to bring a message in, telling Qiuyu to think of a trip home on September 16 or 17, preferably overnight.

Chunying wasn't sure what her mother meant, but the person who sent the message frowned and revealed a hint of tone: "I heard that someone was going to come to your house as a guest that day!" Shall the girls be allowed to look at each other?"

Chunying's eyes lit up, and she thanked the messenger for sending people away, and then encouraged her sister to ask for leave. It's thirteen today, so you have to say hello first, so as not to delay something.

Qiu Yu was a little squirming at the beginning, but he didn't care about it in his heart, and soon got the holiday, because Linglong was talking to Liuli, and by the way, he asked for Chunying's leave. Chunying knew about it, and she was willing to take a day off and palm her eyes for her sister.

On the morning of returning home, the sisters freshened up, had breakfast, and went to their masters to take their leave. When Chunying came to Huo Yi's room, the second Miss Yijun and the third Miss Xijun happened to be there, although the three of them all seemed to want to have a good conversation, they were always a little cold. Huo Yi seemed to be very restrained, Yijun wanted to bring up a new topic several times, but he didn't do it very well, Xijun would only nod his head, as if he would be beaten up if he said one more word, he cowered, and his eyes were only staring at the teacup on the table.

Chunying came in to report that she was going home, Huo Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I've heard about it, it's a happy event, it's good for you to go home and take a look." I don't have any important business here, so you can spend the night at home and come back tomorrow by 17 to 19 p.m." He called Ju'er again, brought an ebony box with silver trim, and said, "When I was in the Evening Fragrance Pavilion before, the girl next to me had to be taken care of by your sister many times, and when her good days come, I should also send a congratulatory gift. It's just that I have filial piety, so I don't have to collide with the joy of your family, so I can only express my heart in advance, which can be regarded as your sister's makeup."

Chun Ying hurriedly took the box and knelt down to thank you. The atmosphere in the room seemed to be a little more relaxed, and the second young lady Yijun smiled and said, "Qiu Yu is really going to get married? If I laugh with her every day, do I want to give a gift?" Then he asked, "Which family are you marrying?" I heard that it's the brother of Kai's sister-in-law, isn't it? I don't like the shabby appearance of Qi's sister-in-law, how good can her brother be? I don't have to spoil Qiuyu!"

The little maid behind her reminded her in a low voice: "Second Miss, you shouldn't say that, let your wife know, and you will say that you are rude to your relatives." Yijun glanced at her impatiently: "Wordy! If you don't say it, how will my wife know?! You're going to find fault with me all the time, and you're still not my girl?!" The girl reluctantly shrank back, and the jade on the side said, "Miss, don't be angry, Jiaxiang is just worried that you will suffer."

Yijun snorted coldly and pushed the dim sum on the table in front of his sister, "Didn't you praise it for being so delicious?!" Why don't you touch it at all? Isn't this a clear way to tell your cousin that what you just said isn't true?! Don't be afraid to add to people's congestion! If you don't fight for yourself, how can you blame others for neglecting you," the third lady responded in a panic, reached out and took a piece of snack, lowered her head and ate it in small bites.

Huo Yi was a little embarrassed, so he could only bury his head in tea, Yijun sulked for a while, and then he woke up, remembering that he was not in his room now, so he had to put on a smiling face again, and said, "Let my cousin see the joke, these girls of mine are all blind and worrying masters!" In fact, my wife is busy, where can I pay attention to such a trivial matter? A few days ago, she specially summoned a Peugeot girl in the courtyard of the third brother to her side to teach people "The Female Commandment." When I went to greet me yesterday, my wife was watching people copy books, and she said that she had a headache and that she didn't even have time to see me." After that, he smiled at Chun Ying again, "Didn't scare you, did you? Are you Qiuyu's sister-in-law? When did your sister get married? When the date is set, we will say it, and our sisters will be able to give it as it is."

Chun Ying secretly wiped a handful of sweat and said with a smile, "Thank you, Second Miss. If the ladies have no other orders, the slaves and maids will retire first."

Huo Yi gently bowed her head and let her out, and said to Sister Yijun Xijun, "Uncle is not feeling well, I should go and say hello to An." In the former palace, the queen mother rewarded a few bottles of mulberry dew, and heard that it can cure autumn irritability and boredom, and soothe the liver and calm down. I've never been used to eating sweet things like that, so I might as well honor my aunt. If the second sister and the third sister are fine, why don't you accompany me for a while?"

Chun Ying walked out, listening to their words, a thought quickly flashed in her mind: "Why did Miss Biao suddenly care about Mrs.", seeing Qiu Yu waving to her, she put this thought aside and ran over happily.

This time I went home, it was different from the last time, not only did the Hou Mansion arrange for the mother-in-law and the little girl to follow the car, but the old lady also specially rewarded several pieces of good materials and head jewelry, and several big girls also had their own private gifts. As soon as the Chunying and Qiuyu sisters combined, they simply took away the things they were carrying. Chunying even thought that Miss Biao was keeping filial piety, but she was afraid that she would not be able to wear red, green, grease and powder in the next two years, and she, as a maid of others, naturally had to follow suit, so she packed all the red, green, and green clothes, most of the gold and silver jewelry, and brightly colored silk flowers, and brought them all into the carriage.

With the car is a little blind, claiming to be surnamed Wei, the little girl is an acquaintance, and she is the pavilion she met when she returned home from the last Huichunying. Aunt Wei probably heard the rumors, and smiled at Qiu Yu and said, "The big guys have heard about it, congratulations to Miss Qiu Yu!"

Qiu Yu couldn't help but be secretly annoyed in her heart, wondering why her parents were so confused, and they didn't even decide which family to do, so they preached it so that everyone knew, in case there was any change, how would he behave? Although she was shy, her tempered face in the past few days was several times stronger, but she kept a straight face and didn't speak. Chunying ○○○, she came forward and smiled: "Thank you, auntie, please come and drink a glass of water and wine at that time." Aunt Wei covered her mouth and scolded Ting'er again: "What are you doing stupidly?!" Why don't you help carry the baggage!"

The group returned to the courtyard of the Lu family together, and as soon as Lu's mother heard the movement, she ran out with her son in her arms and said happily, "It's back!" I'm afraid you'll be delayed! Quick, come in!" beckoned Aunt Wei to eat tea again, and the latter said that she would go back on an errand, so Mother Lu secretly stuffed a purse over, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for my daughter to go home, and it won't be long before she gets married again. Aunt Wei smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Don't worry, sister, the old lady has already sent a message, telling their sisters to have lunch and then go back, so long, it's not enough for your family to talk?" As soon as Mother Lu recited the Buddha, she thanked her for her kindness, and grabbed a handful of dried chestnuts to Ting'er before sending them away.

Chunying stretched out her hand to take her brother and asked puzzledly, "Mother, what are you doing?" You've never been so polite to them before."

Mother Lu gave her a blank look, "What do you know? Your father is now in charge outside, don't you tie up these ladies and judges in the house, aren't you afraid that they will secretly say bad things about your father?!"

Chun Ying suddenly said, "Mother, my sister and I brought a lot of things back today, including materials and jewelry from the old lady, and things from Miss Biao, saying that they were adding makeup to my sister."

"Got it." Mother Lu was much calmer, unlike before, when she heard that there was a reward, she smiled, she lifted the curtain and entered the daughters' room, and said to the eldest daughter, "Hurry up and re-wash and change into a brighter dress. Later, your Uncle Mu will bring the little brother of the Lu family over for dinner."

Qiu Yu was a little panicked: "What did you say about this ‧‧‧‧‧‧? It's not decided yet, so let people come to the door, okay?" Chun Ying also said, "If the Zhao family knows, won't there be any complaints?"

Mother Lu glanced at her mouth: "Grandma Qi blew through the cowhide, not a word of truth, the Zhao family is not poor, there are a few houses, a few acres of land, but her brother is as thin as a bamboo pole, and he is not long-lived at first glance!" And arrogant, the attitude of the parents at home is not warm, your father went to his house as a guest and did not even have a decent cup of hot tea, only took water to entertain guests, your father was so angry that he wanted to leave, and met a matchmaker at the door waiting to enter the door, saying that he was going to say goodbye to a young lady from the county inheritance. His family is much warmer with that matchmaker! I saw that their family was not really a matchmaker, so they simply rejected Grandma Qi." After that, he smiled and said to Qiu Yu: "Your father has already seen that Lu Renyi, it's very good, and asked the eight characters, which just matches you, you can take a look later, if there is nothing bad, settle the matter today!" I have asked someone to see your eight characters, this year is the best happy event, although a little urgent, but now there are still some days until Chinese New Year's Eve, enough for the two to prepare!"

Qiu Yu was stunned when she heard this, and gradually lowered her head and was silent. When did Chunying know that things had changed like this? Although when I looked at the information of the two families before, my heart was slightly inclined to the Lu family, but I would still focus on Qiu Yu's thoughts, but now, when I was about to speak, I didn't give people time to think about it! She was a little anxious, and hurriedly ran out after her mother, wanting to ask the reason, but heard the voices of many people laughing at the gate of the courtyard, one of which was her father Lu Yougui: "The child is! Brother Mu's family is here! Why don't you come out soon?!"

Mother Lu smiled and went out, and waved Chunying back to the room, Chunying stomped her foot and went back to the room, seeing the blank look on her sister's face, her heart was also a little up.

There were several unfamiliar voices outside the window, and one of them, a middle-aged man, said with a smile: "This is the eldest nephew I am talking about, look, isn't it a talent?" Then there was a somewhat low male voice: "I've seen Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu." Mother Lu responded again and again, and persuaded them, "Sit, sit, I'll pour tea." At the same time, he asked his husband to set the tea table in the courtyard.

Everyone sat down in the courtyard, chatting while drinking tea with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers and the warm autumn sun. Chunying cautiously walked outside the room, stole a sneak peek at the door, then quickly retracted her head and looked again.

In the courtyard, there were five people sitting around the tea table, in addition to their parents, there was also a middle-aged couple, all dressed decently, obviously the woodsteward couple, and a tall man, with a Chinese face, his skin was a little black, but he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked quite stylish. According to the ancients' view of a beautiful man, he may not be handsome (because he is too dark), but from the perspective of Chunying's modern people, he looks like a male iron man!

Chunying blinked, and she had a little change of opinion about this man who was very likely to become her brother-in-law, but unfortunately he didn't get his name well, Lu Renyi ‧‧‧‧‧‧ passerby‧‧‧‧‧‧ which parent would give his son such a tragic name?! Fortunately, he doesn't look like a passerby.

She retracted into the room and pushed Qiu Yu, who was sitting by the kang in a daze: "Sister, that person looks good, do you sneak a peek in the crack of the window?"

Qiu Yu looked at her suspiciously, bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, didn't hold back, secretly lifted a little window crack, glanced out, and quickly shrank back, her face turned red, and she lifted the window crack to look at it again. Who knew this, but Lu Renyi just turned his head, his four eyes met, Qiu Yu quickly lowered the window, his face was as red as a ripe apple, he was ashamed, regretful, and with a hint of joy, he didn't know what expression to appear on his face.

Chun Ying saw it and secretly smiled. It seems that this pair ‧‧‧‧‧‧ have a door?
