Chapter 65: The Marriage of the Xun Family Girl (2)
According to the rules of the capital, a married woman must return to the door with her husband on three days. Meet your parents-in-law. Xun Shufang was the first girl in the Xun family to marry, and early this morning, the Xun Mansion sent someone to wait at the door.
The new aunt Yang Tingjun rode in front and followed by two carriages until the second gate of the Xun family stopped. A few girls got out of the carriage in the back, and helped Xun Shufang get out of the car in front. There were already Mama Jin, Jin Rong's family and others waiting there in the house, and they went straight into the inner house.
The newlyweds first kowtowed to Master Xun and Fang's family, and then met Uncle Xun and Xun Da * in the order of eldest and youngest, and Xun Junhui also asked for leave from Mr. Academy, and everyone met.
Although there is a difference between men and women, even if they are married, these sisters are also to be seen. Because Xun Shufang was the elder, Xun Shuzhi took the lead, and all three Xun Qingran sisters came over to salute Yang Tingjun.
Yang Tingjun naturally stood up in a hurry, he was still wearing a red robe today, and while giving a few gifts to his sisters, he said: "My sisters are precious and noble, and I don't dare to accept the courtesy of my sisters." I knew how many sisters I had, but I didn't see them today. I don't know what my sisters like, but I have prepared gifts with your big sisters, so don't dislike them, sisters. ”
There was a girl who came with her to send a brocade box in triplicate.
Xun Qingran only smelled the fat powder in his nose and raised his head. I saw Yang Tingjun's peach blossom eyes burning. Master Xun and Fang Shi and the others were sitting on their seats, looking at the gifts brought by Xun Shufang, and they didn't notice them. Xun Qingran lowered her head silently, and swept the corner of her eyes left and right, and saw that Xun Shuzhi had already blushed and lowered her head, Xun Shulan frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
They have seen each other here, although Yang Tingjun can't wait to leave his eyes, he still follows Master Xun, Uncle Xun and Xun Junhui to the front study, and only the Xun Shufang sisters are left to talk on Fang's side.
Xun Shufang is wearing a bright red makeup gown today, a water-red embroidered palace skirt, gold beads and jade on her head, and heavy makeup and gorgeous decorations on her face, which is luxurious. I don't know if it's because of the marriage, the person seems to be much more stable, and he is sitting there talking to Fang Shi lightly, his attitude and tone are quite reserved.
Xun Qingran took this opportunity to look at the girl brought by Xun Shufang, and the first one was Chun Tao. But after a few days, the spring peaches are more and more prominent, as the name suggests, a pink dress, as if the ripe peach is still dripping with juice. There is a whole set of red gold inlaid jade head on the body, and the skin is even more white and tender, a pair of apricot eyes are almost dripping water, and the eyebrows are circulating, but it is a style that is difficult for a girl to match. Although she stood behind Xun Shufang with her head slightly bowed. But the chest is quite high, which is impossible to ignore.
Next to the spring peach are incense and roses, and the clothes are different from when they were in the Xun family, and there is a girl with a raw face next to her, but there is no shadow of a magpie.
“…… Thank you, Mrs., for remembering, everything is fine. As soon as I entered the door, my husband asked me to take care of the house, my wife was always reluctant to teach me this, and I was happy that my wife loved me, but now I have to learn from scratch, and I have to serve my husband, I am really tired of killing. My wife is blessed to have such a capable person as my sister-in-law to help her......"
Xun Shufang picked up the tea bowl on the table as she spoke, and only gently brushed the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl, and put it down.
"Mrs.'s Lu'an tea is also good, but I ate my husband's tea, so I can't eat this anymore, Chun Tao, take out our tea." ”
Chun Tao really took out a tea bag from the purse she carried with her and handed it to Qiaoying, who was waiting for tea next to her.
Qiao Ying didn't dare to take it, and turned her head to look at Fang's family, Fang's face was already a little unsightly. But Xun Da * Grandma was laughing with her.
"Auntie, grandma, this must be good tea."
"This is Fujian's big red robe, I heard Yang Lang say, there are only a few trees in the world, only a few taels of tea a year, all of them enter the palace. I drink this every day, and I don't think it's very good. ”
"Da Hong Pao, alas, I have to borrow the light of my aunt and grandmother to taste it."
Fang pursed his lips and didn't speak, Qiao Ying took the tea leaves, and after a while, he really changed the tea.
Xun Shufang took a sip of the tea bowl and sighed: "Poor, after drinking this, I can't drink other miscellaneous teas." ”
Fang Shi drank tea, and there was a little smile on his face, and he kindly asked Xun Shufang about her husband's situation. Xun Da * Grandma accompanied the conversation, and went down to watch and supervise the people in the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Xun Shufang stood up and said to the Fang clan that she wanted to go to the waterside residence to have a look.
"I've only been away for a few days, and I really miss my three younger sisters."
Naturally, the Fang clan would not object, and Xun Qingran stood up and accompanied Xun Shufang all the way to the waterside residence. Xun Shufang went to her original house first, because this house had been lived in by Mama Xu, she looked at it and came out, and went to Xun Shuzhi and Xun Shulan's house to sit, and finally came to Xun Qingran's house.
As soon as Xun Shufang entered Xun Qingran's room, she was unusual, just sitting silently and not speaking. Xun Qingran looked at the gold-inlaid jade bracelet given by Xun Shufang, so he praised it twice and thanked him.
"What are these counts, my sister wants it, is there more? It's just this, a box is taken out. Xun Shufang said lightly.
Xun Qingran smiled and said in her heart, it seems that the Yang family is really rich, and with Xun Shufang's careful treatment of property, she can say such generous words now.
"Third sister, do you remember what I said before?"
The people who were waiting in the house all went out, Xun Shufang looked at Xun Qingran and said.
Xun Qingran was stunned for a moment, thinking of something, so she didn't solicit Xun Shufang's words, but only said, "Big sister has said a lot, I don't know what it means?" ”
"Forget it, I don't need you, I can do it alone." Xun Shufang said a word without a head, then sat down in front of Xun Qingran's dressing table and beckoned Xun Qingran.
"My hairpin is a little crooked, and the third sister will re-sort it out for me."
Xun Qingran saw that Xun Shufang's hair was meticulous, and the hairpin rings were scattered, where did she need to be managed, but Xun Shufang said so, she had to walk over.
Xun Shufang pulled out a golden hairpin in her hand, and held the back of her hair in a bun with one hand, she was wearing a stand-up collar and narrow sleeves today. The sleeves are long and narrow, and when you raise your hand so high, only the back of your hand is exposed.
Xun Qing dyed her hairpin, and when she looked down, Xun Shufang held her hair in a high bun, just revealing a snow-white neck, and a red mark was exposed in the collar, and the tooth marks were like it. Xun Qingran glanced at it, then turned his gaze away and helped Xun Shufang plug in the hairpin.
Xun Shufang kept looking at Xun Qingran in the mirror, and said with a smile: "My sister is also the one who is going to get married." Still so shy. ”
Xun Qingran smiled and didn't answer.
"The food in front is ready, please come over quickly with the eldest aunt and the third girl." A little girl from Si'an Yuan came to pass the word.
Xun Qingran stood up, but Xun Shufang sat lazily on the kang near the window.
"Don't worry, I'm not hungry yet, let them wait a while. Spring peach, why don't you see spring peach. "Xun Shufang's name is Chun Tao.
As soon as Chun Tao came back, she pulled the bellflower a few times to speak, and hurriedly walked in when she heard the sound.
"I've only been sitting for a while, where have you been going again?" Xun Shufang glanced at Chun Tao, and she couldn't tell whether it was anger or banter.
"Back to grandma's words, just now the bellflower has some needlework to ask the slave maid"
"You're really capable, and people everywhere 'ask' you."
There was a sneer on the corner of Xun Shufang's mouth, and she turned her head to Xun Qingran and said, "The third sister's work is slow, and I am afraid that I can't do so much dowry." Chun Tao used to do needlework with you, but it was I, the sister, who took advantage of you. I have a lot of people in my family now, you are short of people, how about I leave Chun Tao for you and help you do your work? ”
Before Xun Qingran could speak, Chun Tao opened her mouth first, "Grandma will make fun of the slave maid, the needlework of the sisters around the third girl is a hundred times better than that of the slave maid, how can the third girl be rare in the work of the slave and maid." It's grandma's work, and you have to be a slave to do that. ”
Although Chun Tao blushed, she didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Even if you are still a little self-aware, you know that others may not be rare you, even if it is rare today, there will naturally be better tomorrow."
"The slave maid naturally serves her grandmother wholeheartedly." Chun Tao lowered her head, although her words were soft, her tone was not like that.
Xun Qingran didn't interject, only pretended to look at the master and servant casually. She always felt hungry for each of them, and there was a strange sense of discord between them. But if you want to say what it is, you can't say it.
Xun Da*'s grandmother came to invite in person, and Xun Shufang stood up.
Yang Tingjun and Xun Shufang had eaten, and before leaving, Yang Tingjun first said a few polite words to Master Xun and the Fang family, and then went to Xun Qingran and bowed with a smile.
"Your big sister is very reluctant to sisters. …… I walked in the palace for more than a day. It's boring to leave your sister home alone. You sisters are so good, come and walk more, and accompany your big sisters. I can't thank you enough for being a brother-in-law. …… There is also a small garden at home, all kinds of gadgets, to listen to the play, watch juggling, as long as people go out to call, do not like to eat the food at home, just go outside to call ......"
Xun Shufang came over with a smile, took the hands of the sisters one by one, and asked them to move around more. Xun Shulan turned her face impatiently, Xun Shuzhi didn't know what to say, Xun Qingran lowered her head happily, only pretending to be shy and too lazy to speak.
――――――――――――
"Alas, I didn't expect this Yang family to be so rich, and the reward given by the eldest girl was not copper money, but broken silver, which was enough for six or seven dollars."
Sending Xun Shufang away, Xun Qing dyed out of Fang's yard, walked back along the bluestone path, and heard a few mothers-in-law next to him chatting under the tree.
"Auntie is such a talent, only those eyes, the little girl who looks at it has nowhere to hide, tsk." Another mother-in-law said.
"Don't talk about the big girl, just look at Chun Tao's girl, that body is valuable from the inside to the outside. This girl really has an idea, and she ran away with the big girl. Now it's a step to the sky. At my age, I have experienced a lot of things, and her figure and demeanor must have been adopted by my eldest aunt. I usually think that the big girl has experienced so much, but that's it. ”
Another old mother-in-law said while pouting her teeth, "My wife looks, this spring peach is more like a new daughter-in-law than the eldest girl, and the eldest girl is like a chick......
A few mothers-in-law were talking interestingly, when someone coughed lightly.
