Chapter 58: Relatives (2)

Xun Qing ran a few people out of Fang's upper room.

"Third sister. Where is your house, we'll go to your place. ”

Zheng Shu'er walked over, took Xun Qingran's hand, and said eagerly.

"I heard that the eldest sister is embroidering the dowry, if you don't bother us, let's first see how the eldest sister's dowry is embroidered, I heard my aunt say that the eldest sister's work is top-notch."

Zheng Hao'er stepped forward and said to Xun Shufang. He turned his head again and lowered his voice and said in Zheng Shu'er's ear, "The third sister is there, and she can't run, what's the hurry?" ”

Just now, Zheng Shu'er only cared about making love with Xun Qing, Xun Shufang was already a little pouting when she watched from the sidelines, and then after listening to Zheng Hao'er's words, she couldn't help but be disgusted and happy, and led a few people into her room.

Xun Shufang has lived in Si'an Courtyard since she was married, and the Fang family allocated a side room to her to live in. Xun Shufang invited everyone to sit down, and asked people to take her embroidered wedding dress for everyone to see.

Only one flower was embroidered on the hijab, and the wedding dress was not embroidered with one sleeve.

Zheng Haoer was naturally full of praise, and Zheng Shuer also curiously picked up Xun Shufang's wedding dress to take a look. Xun Qingran sat next to him and picked up the hijab. It can be seen that the flower is from Xun Shufang's hand. But almost all of the wedding dresses were spring peach needlework. Because Chun Tao had done needlework in Xun Qing Dye, Xun Qing Ran recognized Chun Tao's needlework.

Wedding dresses are generally embroidered by the bride herself, but Xun Shufang is not a person who can calm down. Especially after the marriage, Xun Shufang greatly gained face in front of the Fang family. When the Fang family went out, Xun Shufang said that after getting married, she would also go out to socialize, and she would follow the Fang family to get to know more relatives. Even at home, Xun Shufang refused to sit in the house and do work. Therefore, she simply handed over the wedding dress to Chun Tao to embroider alone, and Xun Shufang was really idle, so she embroidered a few stitches. The people joked, saying that the embroidered wedding dress of Chun Tao without leaving home was like a little lady who was going to get married.

Zheng Haoer praised a few words, and Xun Shufang was so happy that Zheng Haoer was introduced as a confidant.

Xun Qingran glanced at Zheng Haoer, although they had not met for a long time, Zheng Haoer was mature and steady, and her speech was sophisticated and sleek, leaving a good impression on almost everyone. Just like the one who proposed to come to Xun Shufang first, whether she can look at her eyes, or understand etiquette, she can't find the slightest mistake in her words and actions.

After seeing Xun Shufang's wedding dress, everyone went to live by the water. As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, Zheng Shuer asked, "Which room does the third sister live in?" ”

Zheng Hao'er didn't say anything this time, Xun Qingran led everyone to his room, everyone sat down around the table in front of the window, and the bellflower and malt brought fragrant tea and fresh fruits.

The rear window is open. You can see a pool of lotus flowers outside, there is a breeze blowing, and the house is full of faint lotus fragrance.

"It turns out that the third sister is the same as me, and she doesn't like incense. This room is also elegant, only the lotus flowers in this window, a room of flowers, it is better than a house full of gold and jade. Zheng Haoer said with a smile.

Xun Qingran was in a very happy mood, although Zheng Haoer didn't say much, but he could speak to people's hearts.

Zheng Shuer looked around with big eyes, looked at the furnishings in the house, and looked at the malt and bellflower, and suddenly found that there was a wooden model of a Western sailing ship on the Duobao grid next to her, so she walked over and picked it up to take a closer look.

"Sister, this boat was also given by my brother, isn't it?"

Xun Qingran looked at it, it was Zheng Yuanlang who came to Yingchuan this time and gave her a gift, so he nodded and said yes.

"This ship was given to my brother by a Western merchant, and I liked it so much that I asked him to give it to me. The elder brother refused to give it, saying that he wanted to give it away. Later, my brother congratulated my aunt on her birthday, and the boat disappeared. It turned out to be given to the third sister. ”

"I think your brother deliberately made you anxious. Each of our sisters gave each of us a boat from my cousin. Xun Qing said.

"Oh, I know, I also have that kind of thing, it's imitated by our own workshop, how can it be compared to this."

Xun Qingran saw that Xun Shufang and Xun Shulan's eyes turned to the sailboat, and hurriedly said, "I don't see any difference, sister, come over and rest and taste my tea." ”

"It makes no difference, this one can only walk in the water, but nothing else. Third sister, don't believe it, I thought this boat was mine, and I secretly engraved it, you see, it's in this corner. Zheng Shuer admitted it.

Xun Shufang glanced at Xun Qingran meaningfully, and then stood up.

"Hurry up and show me, my second cousin also gave me one, I thought it was the same, but it turned out that it wasn't. Second cousin, this is favoritism. ”

Zheng Shu'er was suddenly a little embarrassed when Xun Shufang said this.

"It's just a gadget, just your child's temper, you always love to work this." Zheng Hao'er blamed Zheng Shu'er, and pointed to Duobaoge's previous book and asked Xun Qingran, "That's the book that the third sister usually reads, can you show it to me?" ”

"What's not to do."

"Hand it to me, big sister."

Xun Shufang was going to see the sailboat, but when she walked to the book, she was stopped by Zheng Haoer. I had to take the book first. When she turned around to look at the sailboat, Malt had already received Xun Qingran's signal and put the sailboat away.

If Zheng Hao'er is a child, Xun Shufang can't use the topic anymore to play, so she has to give up.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, it turns out that the third sister also likes to read books like this." Zheng Haoer took the book in her hand and opened it to read.

Zheng Shuer also looked at the cover of the book, "I thought that the third sister must have put the biography of the daughters at the head of the bed, or Tang poems and Song Ci, but I didn't think that the third sister loved to read such a book." ”

"You, you always have such strange thoughts." Zheng Hao'er glanced at Zheng Shu'er, obviously the two sisters had a good relationship.

"I don't have a lot of time to flip through when I'm not free." Xun Qing said.

"Also, you don't know, the third sister is afraid that she won't even be able to recognize all the words in it." Xun Shufang pursed her lips and smiled.

Xun Qing said in her heart, Xun Shufang, if you don't spit out my groove, will you die.

"How so?" Zheng Shu'er was surprised, and Zheng Hao'er also raised her head to look at Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran smiled and did not answer.

"I thought the third sister must be a talented girl." Zheng Shuer said.

"Speaking of talented women, our family really has it, it's ......" Xun Qingran pointed at Xun Shufang with her finger, Xun Shufang was smiling and waiting for someone to praise her. I don't want Xun Qingran to tilt her fingers to the side, "It's our fourth sister." ”

Xun Shulan has recently learned the rules from Mama Xu, and her behavior is much more generous than in the past. If it was usual, everyone's attention was not on her, and she would have been anxious a long time ago, and she didn't have a seizure for so long today, which shows how successful Mama Xu's education is.

"Mother often mentions the fourth sister, saying that she is very similar to her aunt, not to mention that De Jong is a good worker, and she is still a famous talented woman in Yingchuan. Let's sisters. I have the opportunity to learn more from the fourth sister, and I also said that I look a little similar to the fourth sister. If I am a little more like the fourth sister, then I will be content. Zheng Hao'er put down the book and pulled Xun Shulan's hand with a smile.

Xun Shulan had to be humble, and invited the Zheng sisters to her house, and called Mama Xu out.

Zheng Haoer saw Mama Xu's demeanor, she didn't make a big deal at all, she stood up and returned the half-salute.

In the upper room of Si'an Courtyard, Aunt Zheng was talking with Fang's knee.

“…… The three girls in your family, I look very good, I heard that they haven't decided yet, right? ”

Fang Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Sister, you also know that for the four girls, my plan is the same as my sister's plan for Hao'er." Now, only the big girl is married, and she will get married at the end of this month. The second girl and the third girl have not been married for the time being. ”

"That's good, that's good, it's finally not delayed."

Fang Shi looked at Aunt Zheng, "Sister, are you mentioning it to Brother Shuo?" You haven't seen the three girls, why do you mention her as soon as you open your mouth? ”

"Oh, look at me, as soon as I was happy, I forgot to say it. It's not for Brother Shuo, it's for Brother Lang. When Brother Lang was in Yingchuan, he wrote to me, begging me to hire the third girl of your family with you. I wanted to write a letter at that time, but later there was news that I knew that you were going to enter Beijing, and it happened that I was also going to Beijing for the sake of a good candidate, so I thought it would be better for our sisters to say it in person. Fortunately, she didn't get married, otherwise I would have fallen into my nephew's complaint. ”

"When did Brother Lang fall in love with the third girl, why didn't I know at all?"

"Little kids, who knows when they're going to look at it. My sister asked what these were for. Let's just say yes or not. ”

"This ......" Fang Shi's face was a little embarrassed.

"Sister is in trouble?"

"Sister, you know, the third girl is just a concubine. Although Brother Lang'er is not famous now, he will have to donate officials in the future. This ......"

Aunt Zheng smiled, "I'm afraid that you say that Brother Lang'er's identity is not worthy of dyeing girl." Don't worry about it, Lang Geer himself wills. I know that the dyed girl is a concubine, but I like her person. Don't hide it from my sister, Brother Lang also has some furniture, dowry or something, my sister doesn't need to worry. ”

Fang Clan couldn't say anything at this point.

"My nephew is really filial, so old, he begs me as an uncle, and it's a good thing to kiss and kiss. Sister, you can say yes. The girl in your family knows the roots, and she will be happy in the future. ”

Fang's family was a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't bear his sister's begging: "Okay." It's just that I can't agree, and I have to discuss it with our master. ”

"My sister agreed to this, and it was done. When it comes to the marriage of the girl's family, the brother-in-law naturally listens to the sister. My sister is about to discuss it with my brother-in-law, and I can send someone to propose marriage. ”

"Brother Shuo is also a big man, and his sister knows his family affairs." Fang asked about Zheng Yuanshuo's marriage again.

"I took a fancy to Shulan a long time ago, but you arranged it for her again, and I won't say anything. Shuo'er, this child, is older than Brother Lang, but he really doesn't look like an adult. I want to let him study in the Qi family's clan study for two years first, and then slowly find a suitable girl for him. ”

The Fang family sent away the mother and daughter of the Zheng family, and after thinking about it for a long time, they found Master Xun and told Aunt Zheng about her courtship.

"It's unfortunate, I've already agreed to the marriage of the three girls." (! )
