Chapter 200: Running out halfway to bite the gold

ο»Ώ

Ju'er was overjoyed. Leng Bu caught a glimpse of Chun Ying and Shi'er standing at the table, the former had already seen the content of the letter, and couldn't help but be a little panicked: "You guys...... When did you come in? ”

Shi'er replied with a smile: "I just heard my sister laughing happily here, so I was curious to come over and take a look, what is the good thing?" Sister said to listen to it, and make us happy? The subordinates secretly pinched Chunying.

Chunying bared her teeth slightly, and asked with a smile: "What does this second-class inheritance mean?" Is it the first in the second class of this department? That's really remarkable, but the old man and the wife were acquaintances before they died? ”

Ju'er bit her lip and didn't speak, Aunt Qing wiped away her tears, and walked over and said, "It was an official who was a good friend of the old man, and his eldest son was awarded the second grade. I knew him since I was a child, so as soon as I heard that he was going to enter Beijing to take the exam, the second master asked someone to inquire early, and now that he is in high school, we are also happy for him. This was not a big deal, didn't the sewing room send a few horses of material before, saying that it was going to cut new clothes for the young lady? Have you seen it? What is the color and texture of the material? ”

Chunying and Shi'er glanced at each other, and replied very cooperatively: "I've seen it, the material is okay, but the color is too bright." I wondered if the young lady might like it, so I asked them to re-select and send new ingredients. The sewing room hasn't loosened yet. Shi'er added: "They said that the old lady and the wife confessed, the young lady is a little too plain on weekdays, she was filial piety before, and she dressed plainly to be polite, but now that she is filial, the young girl's family should wear some bright clothes." But Miss has always disliked too many flowers on the material of clothes, and we are arguing with those people. ”

Aunt Qing nodded: "Be polite, I originally lived in this mansion, although I am a relative, it is not too contrary to the will of the master's family." If the sewing room brings the material again, you can just accept it and tell them, "We have made the clothes ourselves, and we don't have to labor them." You think about it yourself, and if you think the material is not good, just pay the money and ask our people to buy it outside. ”

Chunying responded, gave Shi'er a look, and retreated. The two of them didn't say much, and walked quickly in the direction of the room. Since playing Nanqi and getting married, Shi'er has moved over to live with Chunying, and it is convenient to whisper.

Turning the corner and about to enter the door, Chun Ying swept an emerald green figure from the corner of her eyes, standing under the opposite corridor, leaning against the pillar and looking in the direction of the upper room, she took a closer look and found that it was Dong'er, with a faint look in her eyes. It seems to have a hint of unwillingness. She was puzzled, thinking that she had seen it wrong, and was about to see it more clearly, when Dong'er suddenly noticed something, glanced at her, glared at her, and turned back to her room.

Chunying frowned, and when she heard Shi'er urging herself, she went into the house and closed the door.

Shi'er pulled her to sit down and said quickly: "I see that the person who sent the letter is that Gu Gongzi, it seems that he is quite talented?" What does this mean? Sounds much stronger than the second young master?! ”

Chun Ying said with a smile: "The people in the examination are divided into three grades, the first is the champion, the top eye and the tanhua, the second is the first in the second grade, in fact, it is the fourth, and the second young master is more than 100 in the third grade, which is not a little bit worse." I remember that my aunt mentioned that this Gu Gongzi is only a little older than Miss Biao, and his family is also a scholarly family, which can be called a family relationship, he is so old. can be the first in the second class of high school, and he can be called a very good young handsome. ”

Shi'er was overjoyed: "So, he's not a poor bastard?" It's enough to propose to my cousin, right? ”

Chunying thought for a while: "Enough is enough, I remember that his father seems to be an official in another province, at least a prefect or something, Gu Gongzi is not only from an official eunuch family, but also has a fame, and the lady with the table is enough." And the aunt seems to have made an appointment with the Gu family to get married. "But there's no formal contract, and I don't know if it's going to work.

Shi'er breathed a sigh of relief, and fell on the bed behind him: "So I'll be relieved." Such an official eunuch, no matter whether he has money or not, is not much worse than our Hou Mansion, and this Gu Gongzi himself is stronger than the third young master, I just hope that the old lady will nod quickly and give Miss Biao to him, and I don't have to worry about it every day, for fear that Miss Cousin will fall out with the old lady and Mrs. Biao, which will affect us. ”

Chunying nodded: "I was still wondering before, why did Miss Biao keep silent?" is out of filial piety, and she has lived in this mansion for a long time, so she is not afraid of delaying it any longer, and the old lady will do a happy event for her and the third young master? It turned out that she was waiting for the results of Gu Gongzi's scientific examination. That's right, if it weren't for the opening of Enke this year, it would have to wait at least another two years for Young Master Gu to become a Jinshi, and maybe it would be too late by then. ”

Shi'er propped up her upper body with her hands and winked at her: "Chun'er, I found that you know more than me?" This is Gu Gongzi's business...... Where did you hear that? ”

Chun Ying was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dryly: "Is this...... I've heard people say it before...... It's been too long. I almost forgot ......."

Shi'er grimaced at her: "You little hoof, how much have you hidden from me silently!" But she didn't ask much, jumped out of bed, and reopened the door, "Aunt Qing told us to go and get the materials, hurry up!" He turned around and squeezed his eyes, and whispered, "It's better to have brighter colors, why don't you just get a few more big red ones?" And bring back more threads of all colors? It's time for us to collect some festive embroidery. Chunying snickered and pushed her out the door.

After the end of the scientific examination, there was a boom in weddings in the capital, most of the grooms are famous students, some of them hurriedly set a marriage contract before the examination, and they have not had time to visit the church, some of them were favored by the rich and noble families after the examination, and recruited them as sons-in-law, and some of them are self-recognizing that their status has been improved, and they dislike the fiancΓ©e who has never seen the world in their hometown, and sent a letter of divorce, and they asked for Miss Qianjin in Beijing. Some people are not used to it, some people are jealous, and some people are angry and run to complain. For a time, the whole capital was lively.

In this excitement, the marriage of the second young master Li Chang was also put on the table. Although Taishi Liang was not very satisfied with the ranking of this future son-in-law. But he finally has the qualifications to be an official, as long as he finds a way to make his father Li Zhang a fat shortage, and then arranges one or two trustworthy staff members by himself, and releases them for a few years, it can also become a big help. Even if it can't help a lot, it's good to respond to Li Zhang. Thinking so, Mrs. Liang quickly called his son to urge the marriage.

Although Li Chang is also happy to marry a beauty and go home as soon as possible, he is still a little uncomfortable when he is forced to do this. Hou Ye didn't say anything, went to the eldest son-in-law Jingwang's mansion for a while, and when he came back, he announced that he was going to do a happy event.

Because Li Chang is a concubine. Hou Ye didn't plan to do it in a big way, but for the sake of his high school, he ordered his family to set up twenty tables of banquets. The Liang family came to grind for a long time, and finally increased to 30 tables, but the amount of guests invited, but a little discounted, originally said to invite a group of princes, princes and nobles and six high-ranking officials, only King Jing and his wife and a few close relatives remained, and then added to the Beijing and the Hou Mansion friends but have knighthood but no real power, and the Liang family's relatives and friends are entertained by the Liang family themselves, and his family marries his daughter is also to be treated.

In order to form this family, the Liang family endured their anger and went back. Aunt Hua finally relied on her son to get the scenery, and was about to show off, when she was poured a basin of cold water, and cried in front of the Hou Ye for a long time, but he asked someone to go out, and she was so ashamed that she had no face to see people, and she hid in the house all day long and refused to come out. After hearing about it, An's heart was overjoyed, and he specially brought his cronies over to offer condolences.

Chunying is still doing needlework calmly in the small courtyard, occasionally cooking and making snacks, or training a few little girls, chatting with Shi'er in her spare time, but when what happens in the house is gossip that has nothing to do with her, it is also easy. It's just that when I'm alone, I'm worried about Hu Fei, who has not heard from me for a long time, and then I think of Zhou Nian, and I was stunned, and the days passed plainly. But not long after, a letter came from her family, saying that the day of Second Uncle Lu's marriage was finally set, just ten days later.

As early as before the second young master Li Chang participated in the palace examination, the Hou Ye found that the eldest son's situation was a little bad, he had always loved this child, and he was reluctant to let Li Jing suffer, so he found a way to entrust someone and donated a hundred households to Li Jing in the bannerman. The ancestor of the Marquis of Qingguo was originally a military general. It's just that it has been passed down for several generations, and he is no longer in charge of the military, but there is still some incense in the army, so Hou Ye's actions are quite smooth. The eldest young master Li Jingping got an official position, but he accelerated the pace of separation, and most of the family members of his cronies were sent to the new house, including the lime next to the eldest young grandmother.

Chunying never saw Lime, and rarely contacted the second uncle, so she didn't learn about the wedding until this time, and she was a little busy, but fortunately, the congratulatory gift was prepared early in the morning, and on the day of the wedding, she specially asked Huo Yi for leave, and went out of the house to attend her uncle's wedding banquet.

Second Uncle Lu's wedding is naturally not as good as the second young master's, nor is it as beautiful as the "former" manager of the king marrying his granddaughter. It's just that four tables of wine were set up in the courtyard of the Lu family to entertain relatives and the Hou family, who were friends on weekdays, and two tables were set up in the house to invite female guests. Lu Yougui said hello to the housekeeper, borrowed the west wing for a few days, cleaned up and entertained the bride, and then invited a few female guests to accompany the banquet, and when the banquet was over, let the little couple go back to their own courtyard.

The table outside was very lively, and Second Uncle Lu was persuaded to drink cup after cup, but he still drank happily. The atmosphere in the room was also very warm, and there was an endless stream of persuasion to drink, even Chunying was poured twice, Qiu Yu was angry and blocked it for her sister, but asked the female guests to joke, pointing to Lu Renyi on the table outside and laughing, so ashamed that she picked up the wine jug and was about to pour it, and there was a lot of trouble at the banquet.

Ping An husband and wife also arrived today, Mei Xiang, who was married to a woman, became more and more standard, the whole person was radiant, and the dress seemed to be low-key and inconspicuous, but Chunying recognized that it was a good material for the new listing, the workmanship was excellent, and the jewelry was also new, and people who didn't know thought it was the young grandmother of a big family, and knew in their hearts that she was doing well, and she was happy for her.

Mei Xiang rolled her eyes, looked over, smiled slightly, beckoned her to sit over, and asked her how her errand was now, Miss Biao's temperament was good or bad, but it was just a few small talks, and it didn't take long for her to say that she was drunk and wanted to borrow Chunying's room to rest for a while.

Chunying didn't suspect him, so she hurriedly welcomed her into the room and wrung a wet handkerchief to wipe her face. Mei Xiang took it casually, pulled her to her, and asked her: "Chun'er, let me ask you, you are on an errand at Miss Biao's place, have you found it...... What's wrong with her? ”

Chunying was a little surprised: "It's inappropriate? What does that mean? ”

Mei Xiang hesitated slightly, and then said cautiously: "It's nothing, it's just that someone mentioned it in front of his wife and said it was ...... Miss Biao is communicating privately with people outside the house, afraid that there will be some obstacles to her marriage with the third young master. The wife was worried that something would go to the second door quietly. If it's okay, it's naturally the best, in case something really isn't right, you and Shi'er have to be vigilant! ”

Chunying was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Sister, do you know who chews her tongue in front of your wife?" Mei Xiang was silent, Chun Ying's eyes rolled, and she slowed down her tone and said, "What do you say?" Who is behind the wounds? Miss Biao has correspondence with the outside of the house on weekdays, the young master of the Huo family has a letter every few days, and the second wife of his family often sends people to greet him, and besides, the housekeeper of the Huo family has something to report, and it is not good to reply in person, so they are all written as letters and brought in. The old lady and the Hou Ye also know these things, how can the wife think that it is a scandalous thing? ”

Mei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "If that's the case, it wouldn't be better." Originally, Miss Biao's affairs have nothing to do with me, I'm just worried that you and Shi'er will be affected. Similar people, the ladies made a big mistake, at most they were scolded a few times, locked up at home and not allowed to see people, but the girls waiting below did not end well. After a pause, he lowered his voice again: "No matter what, you go back and say, be careful in everything, now the second door is full of Mrs. Wang's eyeliner, which is not as convenient as when the previous manager Wang was still there." Our husband and wife don't want anything to happen, most of the outer courtyard is in charge of peace, and the third young master is involved, and everyone has no face when it comes out. But my wife is the most upright person, and she never tolerates things that have to be in order. Pay attention to yourselves. ”

How could Chun Ying not understand? Busy and solemnly thanked Mei Xiang, and after thinking about it, he turned out a pair of good jasper bracelets that Huo Yi had rewarded in the past, saying that they were "specially selected for my sister as a birthday gift", Mei Xiang smiled and knocked on the tip of her head, put the bracelet into her sleeve, and returned to the table outside to eat and drink.

Chunying gritted her teeth secretly, originally as long as she waited for Gu Gongzi to come to the door to propose, Miss Cousin's marriage would be certain, and she would not be able to set off any storms?!。.。
