Inside the brocade box are two white jade butterflies. White jade is warm and moist and mutton fat. The whole body is flawless, and it is the best mutton fat jade. The two butterflies are even more lifelike, and they seem to be able to flapp their wings and fly out of the box at any time.

Xun Qingran was in the Hou Mansion at the time, and when he saw that there was a butterfly in the box, he quickly closed the box. She also glanced at Xun Shuzhi's box at that time, and inside was a golden phoenix hairpin. On this occasion, Grandma Fang should give the three girls exactly the same gift, even if it can't be exactly the same, but the value should be comparable. But these two sheep fat jade butterflies are not much more valuable than phoenix hairpins, and they are butterflies.

Xun Qingran couldn't help but think of the girl who handed her the brocade box, such a strange movement ....... But Fang Da didn't reveal anything on her face, and she didn't pay special attention to her. …… However, as a lady who has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for so many years, the eldest son, the youngest daughter and son are all concubines, and it is not surprising that this big milk can be happy and angry. It's just that......

Xun Qingran rubbed his eyebrows, closed the box, and handed it to the bellflower.

"The box was sealed and pressed at the bottom of the cabinet. Don't let anyone see it. If someone asks you again, it will be the same as the second sister's, it is Feng Hai. ”

Kikyo agreed to put away the box.

The malt was brought in from a plate of watermelon cut from the outside. She followed Xun Qingran out for the first time today, and she was still very excited when she came back.

"Girl, how can you say that a child born by a mother has such a big difference in personality. The eldest son of the Hou Ye family is only twelve years old, but he is more old-fashioned than the Hou Ye. Brother Guan is chubby, cute and honest, and if the servant wants to hug him, he is willing, so cute. The most interesting thing is that Sister Bao'er ......" Mai said and giggled, "Sister Bao is really good at playing tricks on people, the eldest girl and the fourth girl have suffered losses today." ”

Xun Qingran also thought it was funny. Sister Bao is indeed like a little pepper, but she is elf and eccentric, but she is also a little precocious and sad.

"The maid thinks Sister Bao is good, our girl and the second girl went for the first time, and they didn't speak, she knew that our girl and the second girl were good people, so she didn't come to tease."

Xun Qingran smiled secretly, Sister Bao'er's criteria for distinguishing good people from bad people are very simple. The reason why she and Xun Shuzhi were not mistreated by Sister Bao was simply that the two of them did not peek at Fang Xin, and they did not deliberately try to please Sister Bao later, which in Sister Bao'er's eyes, she thought that the two of them had no intention.

Xun Qing ran a tooth of watermelon, so he asked the bellflower: "Didn't you say that Aunt Zheng is coming, why hasn't it arrived these days?" ”

"Aunt Zheng left later than us, and the road from Jiangnan to the capital is also far. Besides, Aunt Zheng only took two girls, so she shouldn't be in a hurry. …… Second Master Lang hired a carriage and horse that day, saying that he was going to greet him. At that time, he said that he would come back on an approximate day, and the maid estimated that it would be a few days before he returned. ”

Xun Qingran sighed and looked out the window for a while.

Xun Qingran and Xun Shuzhi entered Si'an Courtyard, and as soon as they entered Fang's house, they saw Xun Da Milk present. The two of them first greeted Fang's family, and then gave a salute to Grandma Xun, who hurriedly got up from her seat, supported Xun Qingran with one hand, and pulled her to sit beside her with a smile.

Xun Qingran was secretly taken aback by Xun Da's enthusiasm, and wondered what her idea was. Sure enough, Grandma Xun said something homely, so she smiled and said to Xun Qing: "I see that the third sister has been a little reduced in the past two days." Isn't the girls serving badly? It's also, the third sister has been serving Hongxuan since she was a child, she is not around, the third sister is naturally not used to it, isn't it, the third sister? ”

Grandma Xun said this, but she didn't wait for Xun Qingran to reply, and laughed at the other party's family: "Mrs., Hongxuan is the eldest girl of the third sister." Seeing that the third sister has also reached the age of leaving the cabinet, the marriage should always grow up together since childhood. Talent and beauty. I listened to the third sister often chanting red silk in the past two days. I, who is a sister-in-law, have the cheekiness to say a word for the third sister, let's let Hongxuan serve the third sister, and the daughter-in-law will honor the two other wives. After all, Hongxuan is the eldest girl of the third sister, everyone knows this, if she doesn't go out with the marriage in the future, but goes somewhere else, it is a trivial thing for her to be ridiculed, if there is a villain who says that our family does not understand the rules, then even the master and the uncle will be blamed. Madam, do you think that's the case? ”

Fang's family didn't say anything for a long time, only squinting at Xun Da Milk and Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran coughed slightly, "Thank you sister-in-law for thinking about me, but sister-in-law made a mistake." Hongxuan was the girl in front of his wife, but in order to feel sorry for me, sometimes let Hongxuan take care of her. ”

Xun Dama was stunned, she didn't expect that in her eyes, Xun Qingran, who was obedient and silent, would refute her. Fang Shi smiled.

"The third girl is right, it's a good thing for you to think about your sister-in-law, big, but you should also figure things out first."

"My sister-in-law also said that I would arrange someone to pick it for me, but I waited for several days, and I didn't see my sister-in-law send anyone. I thought my sister-in-law had forgotten, but she was deliberately thinking about giving me the red silk. Xun Qingran said with a smile.

Xun Da Grandma grinned, "Where did I forget, but I want to carefully pick a good one for the third sister." ”

"The third girl is short of manpower, you can't be lazy as a sister-in-law, if you can't pick out someone, call someone to come and let your third sister choose one."

Grandma Fang had no choice but to agree.

Xun Qingran saw that the Fang family still had to discuss housework with Xun Dama. He came out of Fang's house with Xun Shuzhi and turned around and went to the west. Xun Shufang was sitting on the big kang by the window and talking to Xun Shulan, talking about what she had seen and heard in the Hou Mansion, with a look of envy.

“…… Sister Bao has four big girls, six little girls, and more than a dozen mothers-in-law. The dress and action pomp are the style that the daughter of a wealthy family should have......"

Fang's side explained a few things to Grandma Xun, and also sent Grandma Xun down, and then lay on the couch and beckoned the little girl to go over and beat her legs.

Mama Jin came in from outside, sent the little girl, and knelt on the couch to beat Fang's legs. Fang Shi closed his eyes, perhaps sensing that something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes and saw Mama Jin, he closed his eyes with peace of mind.

"I said why is this force used so well today, it turned out to be you. It's just that you're too old to do this anymore. ”

"No matter how old you are, you are still your wife's slaves, as long as the wife who can serve is comfortable, the old slave has a light on her face." Mama Jin laughed.

Fang Shi turned over comfortably, "Why didn't you see the red silk?" ”

"Mrs. forgot, the lotus leaf soup you prepared just now. said that the uncle loved to drink this when he was a child, so he asked Hongxuan to send a bowl to the uncle. ”

"Well, it's just a blink of an eye. He is also a ...... of children now," Fang Clan said halfway through, suddenly stopped, and frowned.

"Who said that it wasn't that, the eldest sister and the second sister are both beautiful billets, and they are well-behaved and obedient, although the third sister is still young, the old slave looks at the appearance and follows the uncle. The big milk hurt her body during childbirth this time, and she raised it for three years and five years, and then added another brother. That's it. ”

Fang sat up, "Three years and five years, my uncle is almost thirty, and your master and I are also half-buried people." How many more years and five years? She hurt her body and didn't tell me, if it weren't for your cleverness, I would have been deceived by her, and she also moved her mother here, coaxing me to say that the old lady had seen it, and the next child would definitely be a boy. The more Fang Shi spoke, the more angry he became, "Counting on her, maybe the second old man will marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a ......."

Fang Shi realized that he had lost his mouth, so he stopped again, looked at Mama Jin and said, "What did you think about what I told you?" What does Red Silk say? ”

"Madam, you know, Hongxuan is the old daughter of the old slave, and the old slave relied on the grace of his wife and had the idea of finding someone for her outside. The old slave didn't dare to climb high, and he relied on the lord and his wife, and it was always possible to match her with a rich man or a showman. ”

"Do you want to?" Fang Shi frowned.

Mama Jin was busy laughing, "Mrs. discussed with the old slave to give the old slave face." The life of the old slave is all that of his wife, how dare he say that he is unwilling. ”

"That's good, don't worry. I won't treat your girl badly. ”

"Thank you, madam, with Mrs. this word, the old slave will go to my girl and say, I will coax her to agree."

"If it weren't for your daughter, it wouldn't be her turn. You have been by my side for so many years, why are you so shallow-eyed, what kind of rich man, poor talent, hum, tell me about your uncle's character and appearance, who else have you wronged? ”

The four Xun Qingran sisters were talking together, and a little girl came in and said that the Fang family wanted them to go over. The sisters walked to the door of the Fang family. I met Mama Jin sending a daughter-in-law out. The daughter-in-law saw Xun Qing dyed a few, smiled and greeted before going out. Xun Qingran sat down in Fang's house, and remembered that the daughter-in-law had gone to Yingchuan a few days ago to give Fang's birthday gift.

"Just now someone from the Anguo Mansion is here, the day after tomorrow to watch the Lotus Festival, the old lady invites us to go over and play for a day, do you want to go?" Fang asked.

"This time I can take a good look at my aunt's garden." Xun Shulan is quite yearning. Xun Shufang also said that she was going.

Fang nodded with a smile, and asked Xun Shuzhi and Xun Qingran again, and both of them replied, "Listen to Mrs. Listen." ”

"That day, the third sister was full moon, and the eldest sister brought some little girls to you?" Fang asked Xun Qingran.

"Yes."

"How did you remember to give them a purse?"

"Those little girls are all relatives of the family, I am an elder, and I don't have anything to give, so I picked some good ones from the needlework I used to make, but I just played with children."

"No wonder Fang Cai Zhou Cai's family came to send a post, saying that her sister Zhen brought a new purse that day, so that the old lady could see it, and said yes again and again, and specially said that she wanted to see you." Fang said in a long voice.

Xun Qingran lowered her head slightly, "I think it's a polite word between relatives, even if I don't do well, for the sake of my wife's face, I will praise a few words." Speaking of which, I am not afraid of my wife's blame, but a few little girls came that day, but the eldest sister borrowed my room and took them to play, and I didn't say anything. ”

"Well, that's right." Fang's eyes swirled on Xun Qingran's face.
