He Ningyu put down his coat in surprise, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to probe He Ningxin's forehead, and said, "You didn't hit the customer, right?" - Blue sky and white day, why are you talking nonsense? ”

He Ningxin took two steps back, stretched out her hand to separate He Ningyu's palm, and said with a straight face: "Speak well, what do you look like with your hands and feet-who is talking nonsense?" That's how you talk to your sister? ”

He Ningyu was about to have a seizure, and the incense branch standing on the side suddenly coughed lightly.

He Ningyu had no choice but to hold back the words he was about to blurt out, and changed his words: "It's mine, no, eldest sister, don't blame." After speaking, he curtsied and said, "Eldest sister, I have something to tell you, can you let everyone in this room go out?" ”

He Ningxin didn't want to pay attention to her, but when she remembered the matter of the original Miss He, she felt that she couldn't ignore it, so she said: "If you have something to say, there are no outsiders in this house." ”

He Ningyu saw that he had begged for a long time, He Ningxin didn't let go and drove others out, he was so angry that he grabbed the gaiwan teacup of the old plum frost branch on the kang table on the side and was about to fall to the ground, looking very arrogant.

He Ningxin was angry and funny in her heart, she didn't know what kind of person this original Miss He was, so that this second-room concubine, who was originally dependent on the big house for a living, didn't take her in her eyes like this.

"If I were you, I'd have to think about dropping this cup again. This set of teacups is out of print in the kiln, and it is difficult to change it outside. - You're going to fall, I'll let people take the pieces to your second room and ask for silver," He Ningxin said calmly. She used to be from one of the best scholarly families in the Great Qi Dynasty and had seen a lot of good things. Now this He family, although it is not as prominent as the Pei family, He Ningxin has found that this family eats well, and there are many good things that cannot be seen in the Pei family.

He Ningyu's face turned white, and the teacup he was holding in his hand was about to fall, very entangled.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiangzhi hurriedly stepped forward to take the teacup from He Ningyu's hand, carefully placed it on the kang table on the side, and curtsied to He Ningxin and said, "Big girl, bear with me." Our two girls have a deep sisterly affection for the eldest girl, and they are playing with the eldest girl. As he spoke, he gently pushed He Ningyu.

He Ningyu is only sixteen years old, and of course he Ningxin does not have the good cultivation of the two generations. was mentioned by the incense branch and mentioned, He Ningyu reluctantly followed the salute and said humble, and then returned to the right and said: "Eldest sister, I came today to ask eldest sister for something. ”

He Ningxin looked at her with a smile and did not speak.

He Ningyu resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and finally said what he meant: "Eldest sister, I know that you will follow your eldest aunt to Ningyuanhou's mansion in a few days to attend Mrs. Ningyuanhou's ceremony. - Can you take me with you? ”

He Ningxin glanced at He Ningyu and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this won't work." The Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion is a relative of the emperor, and it is not something that outsiders can enter if they want to. "He Ningyu's father, He Sida, is just a white ding, so it is naturally difficult to make friends with Gaomen.

He Ningyu was still unwilling, so he came to He Ningxin and pulled her sleeve and begged: "Eldest sister, you just say that I am your own sister, can't I take it with me?" ”

He Ningxin gently brushed her hand away, straightened the gown on the front placket, and said with a smile: "I'm not so blessed, I have a sister like you." ”

Fu Feng and Fu Liu were sweating beside them, for fear that He Ningxin would be the same as before, as long as He Ningyu had a request, he would not dare to respond. Now seeing that He Ningxin blocked He Ningyu's unreasonable request with a heavy lift, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Xiangzhi watched from the side, coughed lightly again, and was about to speak.

Fuliu on the side couldn't get used to her for a long time, so he hurriedly said: "Xiangzhi, you have a cough, are you sick?" - Ouch, that's not going to work. Our eldest girl is just a little bit, and she can't stand the slightest wind. If you have a wind chill, won't you give us a big girl? Let's go, let's go to the front yard and send a doctor to take a look. As he spoke, he stepped forward quickly, put up the arm on the left side of the incense branch, and pulled her out of He Ningxin's warm pavilion half-dragged and half-dragged.

Xiangzhi's face turned red, and he struggled to look at He Ningyu and said, "Second girl......"

He Ningyu looked at her slyly and smiled, but did not stop her, but sat on the kang on the side, tilting his head to look at the needlework in the needlework on the kang table.

Fu Liu was very strong, and as he spoke, he had already dragged the incense sticks out of He Ningxin's house.

Seeing that only one of his maids was left in the house, Fufeng hurriedly got up and asked He Ningxin, "Big girl, do you want the slave to make a pot of tea?" ”

He Ningxin also sat back on the circle chair she had just now, and said with a smile: "That's a bit of work." ”

Fufeng pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't dare to be." He immediately lifted the curtain and went out to the outside of the warm pavilion.

There were only two people left in the room, He Ningxin and He Ningyu.

He Ningxin saw that He Ningyu was looking at the needlework in the needlework basket seriously, so she didn't take the initiative to speak, but just looked at the window flowers on the window lattice.

He Ningyu waited for a long time, but she didn't see He Ningxin ask her, so she had to put down the needlework in her hand, looked at He Ningxin, and asked with some hesitation: "Eldest sister, ...... Cousin Nie came yesterday?"

He Ningxin looked at her calmly and did not speak.

"Do you want to see him?" He Ningyu bit his lower lip and asked inquiringly.

He Ningxin said indifferently: "I don't see a foreign man." After a pause, he added, "Don't mention him in front of me in the future." This man has nothing to do with me. No matter what entanglement this Cousin Nie has with the original Miss He, He Ningxin plans to ignore this "Cousin Nie" completely if she doesn't know. - The original Miss He is dead, please burn the paper if you have something.

Unexpectedly, after listening to He Ningxin's words, He Ningyu was not much disgusted, but got up and said with a smile: "In this case, I won't bother the eldest sister." And when he had said this, he took his leave, and went out. was neat and tidy, and did not continue to follow the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, which made He Ningxin a little more confused in her heart.

When Fufeng came in with a tea tray, he only saw He Ningxin alone in the house, and said in surprise: "What about the second girl?" ”

He Ningxin crooked on the circle chair and smiled: "I went out just now, didn't you see it?" ”

Fu Feng shook his head, took a cup of tea from the tea tray, put it on the small high table in front of He Ningxin, and said, "The slave maid went to the small teahouse to make tea just now, but I saw Fu Liu send the incense sticks back to the second girl's yard. ”

He Ningxin picked up the teacup, closed her eyes and sniffed deeply, and said: "Good tea" is the best silver needle Baihao, which is three points better than what she drank in Ningyuanhou's mansion before.

Fu Feng took the iron from the copper grill on the side, ironed his clothes, and said with a smile: "The girl has always been unaccustomed to drinking this silver needle and white hair, but now she is in love." Catch up with Ming'er and wait for the grandfather of the country to come, and the girl should thank her in person. ——This was personally brought by Grandpa Guo from the southwest and given to the lord, lady and girl. ”

He Ningxin held the teacup in front of her chest with both hands, and said in a trance: "Naturally, I want to thank you." ”

The two talked for a while, and when Fuliu came back from the second girl's courtyard, she helped He Ningxin rearrange her makeup, and then went to the main courtyard for dinner.

A few days later, on the day of the ceremony, Mrs. Xu and He Ningxin dressed up, took their own cuiying blue-topped car, and took the maid and wife to Ningyuan's mansion to attend the ceremony of Mrs. Ningyuan's house.

On this day, the guests in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion came one after another, and it was very lively.

For the sake of his own courtesy, Pei Shufen entrusted Mrs. Tai's affection and invited Hu, the main lady of the third room of the Song family's mansion, one of the hereditary three dukes, Huiguo Gong, to be the guest of honor for herself.

The Song family in the Huiguo Mansion has a total of four rooms. The big house and the third room are out of the house, the big house inherits the lord, and the three rooms have actually been separated, but they still live in the Guogong Mansion. Pei Shufen now knows how to be measured, and only invited the lady of the three-room main room to be her guest. Besides, this Hu is also filling the house, one round older than her, twenty-seven years old this year, and she is the same person on the same card.

and the secretary of the ceremony, Pei Shufen invited Ke Yingying, the fourth lady of the Weiyuan Hou Ke family. This nominally fourth lady is actually a concubine, but she was born well-behaved, and she fell into the eyes of her mother, and was raised under her mother's name as a concubine. She is about the same age as Pei Shufen, and the two have met a few times, but they can talk very well. This time, Pei Shufen invited Yousi, and the first thing I thought of was under her name. Ke Yingying had just turned fifteen years old, and her enthusiasm for the ceremony was in the ascendant, and she helped Pei Shufen come up with a lot of ideas.

Pei Shufen is a married person, and should not have had much contact with unmarried girls. It's just that everyone knows that she didn't have a match, and she didn't have a round house with Ning Yuanhou, so most people still treat her as an unmarried daughter.

And the praiser of this ceremony, Pei Shufen invited her third sister Pei Shufang very considerately. The second sister Pei Shulan married Zhao Zhenbang, the eldest son of Shoufu Zhao Zhiqing, a few years ago, and the third sister is now eighteen years old, but she has not even decided on her parents. Pei Shufen married well, so she had a trace of pity for the third sister, and planned to give the third sister more opportunities, maybe someone would take a fancy to her and go to Pei's house to propose marriage.

The day begins in the morning, when guests from all walks of life start visiting. There was a maid and a woman who guarded the second gate and led her to the inner courtyard.

He Ningxin followed Mrs. Xu out of the car, and was led by a few familiar maids and women to the backyard.

Walking in the familiar and unfamiliar hand-copying verandah, He Ningxin found that he didn't miss the days here at all. Now that even her two children don't live in this mansion, the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion has no attraction to her at all.

Come to Ju Cuixuan next to Zhonglan Courtyard, which is far away from Huifang Pavilion, which specializes in white affairs, and is the place where Ningyuan Marquis Mansion does happy events.

He Ningxin looked at the luxurious arrangement in the Marquis Ningyuan's mansion, and shook her head secretly in her heart. How big and detailed the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion is, He Ningxin knows it clearly. Unless in the two years since she died, the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion dug up a gold mine, they would definitely not be able to sustain such a day. - If you can live now, you are probably tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.

When she came to Ju Cuixuan, He Ningxin followed Mrs. Xu to sit at the small round table on the side, although as a lady, it was very inappropriate to look around on this occasion, but she still couldn't help but look around to see if she could have the opportunity to meet her two children. - Before, she could tell herself that she was He Ningxin, no longer Pei Shufan, but when she arrived at the familiar Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, she thought that her child was crazy......

Heaven seemed to hear her heart, and after a while, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Pei family, Shen, held two golden boys and girls in her hands, followed by the third sister Pei Shufang, surrounded by a group of maids and mothers-in-law, and entered Ju Cuixuan.

When Pei Shufan died, Chu Qianyi was three years old, and Chu Qianqian was only one year old. Now two years have passed, Chu Qianyi is five years old, Chu Qianqian is three years old, and they have grown up a lot, which is very different from what Pei Shufan remembers.

……

All the guests soon arrived, and the ceremony officially began.

Everyone was in the hall, watching Ning Yuanhou's house-filling lady Pei Shufen first change into a children's clothes, first add a wooden hairpin, then a golden hairpin, and three times add the mutton fat jade hairpin given by the queen herself, and then went in to pull the peony bun, and changed into a gorgeous robe to come out.

and the formal ceremony.

The lady of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion came up to hold Pei Shufen's hand in person, and praised: "You don't know, my daughter-in-law, although she has just reached the end of her life, but in the past two years, in our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, she has entered the women's way, been filial to her mother-in-law, friendly to her mother-in-law, friendly to her children, in charge of the family director, and presided over the middle feed, without any fault." After saying these words, Mrs. Tai seemed to have tears in the corners of her eyes, and Pei Shufen hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe Mrs. Tai's tears.

Mrs. Tai took her hand and raised her voice to everyone: "The old man has lived a long time before he knows that he can't just pick a daughter-in-law. And although Shu Fen is young and not high-born, she is a daughter-in-law, and she is many times stronger than others-the old body would rather she be my eldest son's original partner" and said to Pei Shufen with a smile: "I have wronged you, I can only fill the house." ”。.。
