Chapter 85: Fresh Longan (3)

Inside the house, Aunt Yan leaned against the screen to cover her mouth and smiled. The nurse and a little girl stood under the kang. Brother Mao sat on the kang, had already torn off half of the lid of the bamboo basket, and was taking out the longan inside and stuffing it into his mouth.

“…… Why is it so anxious, like a starving ghost? ”

Grandma Qi San scolded angrily and snatched the bamboo basket in the past. But she was reluctant to scold her son after all, so she had to scold the nurse and the little girl who was waiting.

"What are you doing standing there, watching the master messing around like this, but I didn't come to stop me, I really raised you minions for nothing."

scolded and played with the nurse and the little girl, and Grandma Qi San wanted to scold Aunt Yan again. Aunt Yan didn't listen to her, snorted in her nose, shook the handkerchief, and swayed away.

Grandma Qi San held her breath in her chest, and gave Brother Mao a slap with a shake of her hand.

Brother Mao didn't eat longan, he was reprimanded again, and now he was beaten again, so he simply threw himself on the kang and cried.

"What are you crying about, let people know, and you have to say that you can't be on the stage. It's only your dad who doesn't have the ability. The same children and grandchildren, who are eager to eat gold every day, can't even eat anything fresh. The house was the worst for us. Everything is also picked by others, and it is our turn to pick the leftovers. We are worse than any of them, if your father can be more competitive, our mother and sister are less glamorous than others. ”

Brother Mao didn't care about what the third grandmother was babbling about, kicking her legs and just asking for longan to eat.

Grandma Qi San still felt sorry for her son, so she carefully dismantled the bamboo basket, grabbed a plate of longan from it, and asked the nurse to come over to peel the skin and feed it to Brother Mao'er.

"Watch out for the nucleus inside, don't swallow it." Qi San's grandmother instructed her son.

"Don't go back to Brother Mao's room, you are here to serve Brother Mao'er to eat. I don't know you yet, behind my back, only to steal and eat Brother Mao'er's things. Brother Mao is so thin, you have deducted it. Grandma Qi San glared at the nurse.

"Grandma, don't wronged the minions. Which meal is not grandma watching Brother Mao eat it, Brother Mao eats as much as a teenage child, but he doesn't grow meat, who complains. The minions suffered and suffered, and other yards distributed things and paid rewards, when did the minions see it, the minions didn't complain, and grandma was more and more wronged by the minions, and it was clear that there was no way to live this day. ”

The nurse was reprimanded, unconvinced, and argued with Grandma Qi San with her eyes wide open.

"That's it, I say one sentence to you, and you revert back to me three sentences. Seeing that you have breastfed Brother Mao, I won't worry about you. If you are verbose, I will drive you out. ”

The nurse finally knew that she would accept it when she saw it. Secretly pouted, and went to feed Brother Mao to eat longan.

Grandma Qi San smoothed the surface of the longan in the bamboo basket again, made it look like it had not been moved, and then sealed the bamboo basket as it was, and called Cai Shou's family who accompanied the room.

"This is the fresh stuff that came in from the south, and it is rare. You hurry up and go to Biangourd Hutong to give the old lady and the old lady, as well as the uncle, a taste. …… Let the uncle hurry up and come again, there is a big business to be done by him. This amount of money is earned, not to mention chewing wraps next year, even if you buy a small Zhuangzi, it is enough. ”

Grandma Qi San called Cai Shou's family to the front, and instructed so carefully that Cai Shou's family was sent out.

Xun Qingran a few people came out of the Peony Pavilion, everyone had nothing to do, and they all gathered in Ning Yuanju.

Xun Qingran asked people to pick a plate of longan, brought it to a few people to taste, and asked people to go to the kitchen to ask for a few delicate fruits. After a while, the daughter-in-law from the kitchen sent two boxes, both full of yellow oranges and red pomegranates. Fragrant pears, frosted persimmons, freshly cooked ghee muffins, goose fat pine rolls, and fried golden wontons.

Xun Qingran asked the bellflower to send the reward, and set up a kang table on the kang, and the sisters sat around eating fruits and chatting.

"Why is the fifth sister in such a hurry to get the dowry?" Xun Qingran asked.

"The family originally said that the wedding date was scheduled for next spring, but they received an order from Shangfeng and would go to the outside office in a few days. As far as the matchmaker is concerned, it is better to get married as soon as possible, and it is better to take the fifth sister with him. Qi Wanli said.

"Outsider, do you know what kind of place it is?"

Qi Wanli shook her head, "The eldest lord and the eldest lady went to tell the old lady, I haven't heard of the name of that place, but it seems that it is relatively remote." ”

"No wonder the fifth sister always has a calm face these days, and when she talks to her, she doesn't pay attention to people." Yan Mingyue said.

"I don't think it's just because of this, this family business, the fifth sister doesn't like it very much. I heard the little girl say that the fifth sister was with Aunt Zhao in private, and she cried. Rong Yunnuan said.

Qi Wanli glanced at Rong Yunnuan, "Those girls love to chew their tongues the most, how can they believe their words." ”

"There's no one else here, so don't bluff people by saying this." Rong Yunnuan winked at Qi Wanli.

In order to make it easier to speak, Xun Qingran only left bellflower and malt to serve, and everyone else was far away.

“…… The fifth brother-in-law came that day, and the little girl and I went to take a peek. It's scary. With a beard on his face, he spoke in a voice like a bronze bell, and his ears hurt. The girls of the fifth sister all said that he was ugly and old. Rong Yunnuan lowered her voice, and finally knew something to avoid taboos.

Qi Wanli fell silent, Yan Mingyue also sighed softly, and even Qi Wanyan, who was a little dazed, put down the persimmon in her hand.

These girls, as they see on weekdays, are just brothers in the family. They are all weak sons, no matter what their inner temperament is, they are gentle and elegant on the surface, and they refuse to speak loudly. Even the most cold Qi Yu is like a noble son. I'm afraid that they think that men all over the world are like this, and they suddenly see a reckless man, so they naturally don't adapt.

"Didn't you say that the fifth aunt was born in the army? It's not surprising that the appearance is rough, and it has nothing to do with character. Xun Qingran could only explain it so tactfully.

"What time is it, it's time for the fifth brother to get out of school." Yan Mingyue glanced at the chiming bell underground.

Before the words fell, someone outside came to report, "The fifth master and uncle are here!" ”

Rong Yunnuan smiled, "I really can't help but chatter." …… I'm not my sister-in-law's brother. ”

Xun Qingran naturally didn't care too much, and followed the sound of footsteps. Qi Yi smiled and came in with Xun Junhui.

"I said why didn't you come to the old lady, it turned out that you all came to the fourth sister-in-law." Qi Yi glanced at the fruit on the table, "You guys have a good time, but pity me for going out early and returning late, and studying hard." ”

It made everyone laugh.

When everyone saw each other, Qi Wanli and the girls said goodbye, and Qi Yi also went out with them.

Xun Qingran knew that they didn't want to disturb their siblings, so they didn't force them to stay.

"Have you seen the old lady and the second lady?" Xun Qingran asked Xun Junhui.

"I came from outside, and I happened to meet Qi Yi after school, so I went to see the old lady first, and Fang came from the second lady." Xun Junhui replied.

Xun Qingran nodded. Then he asked, "How's going on at home?"

Needless to say, both siblings knew what they were talking about.

Xun Junhui sighed, "It's difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and I understand it now." My father was so angry that he called them all together for interrogation. The Song family still knows a little bit about it, but they only said that they were forced to drink alcohol, instigated, and lost the face of their sister and brother-in-law. The daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the family all blame each other. When asked, none of them were innocent. ”

This result was not difficult to predict, Xun Qingran asked again, "How is that handled?" ”

"What else, Mama Jin was beaten on the board. Red Silk and White Lotus, because they are the eldest brother's house, their father asked the eldest brother to dispose of it himself. I think my father also knows in his heart that my sister-in-law can't get rid of this matter, so he reprimanded his eldest brother very much. Now, everyone in Nafu is in charge of their own courtyard, and Mama Xue has also been promoted to the steward of the inner courtyard. ”

Going their own way, Xun Qingran sighed, "I only go back once, and I will be implicated." Thanks to you moving out, otherwise such a mess would have come to you. ”

Xun Junhui smiled, "It's a lot quieter outside." …… Sister don't worry, this time my sister taught her sister-in-law a lesson, she knew that her sister couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes, and she wouldn't dare to provoke her sister in the future. …… Sister, I heard Qiaoying say that Mrs. is going to send the Tong family back. ”

"She's really ......" Xun Qingran couldn't help laughing, the Fang clan was really so persistent. You don't have to worry about this matter, let her be, I have my own plans. ”

Xun Qingran asked Xun Junhui how he was studying and whether he was used to living outside.

"My father sent me an older steward, two long-term attendants, and two rough mothers-in-law. plus the girl next to me, as well as the camellia given by my sister, there are enough people to use, and they are all still powerful. ”

Xun Qingran was relieved.

While the siblings were talking, it was reported that Qi Yu had returned.

Xun Qingran got up, Qi You strode in from outside, followed by several mothers-in-law carrying things.

"Junhui is here, don't be polite, sit down."

Qi You and Xun Junhui saw each other, so they went to the back room to change clothes, and Xun Qingran followed in.

“…… An official from Fujian entered the palace to see the driver and sent some local products. There are taro and longan. ”

"The Hou Mansion also sent longan just now."

Xun Qingran helped Qi Yu change his clothes.

"I see. At the old lady's place just now, the old lady also said that everyone has longan, and only the taro is left. In a moment, you send two baskets of taro to the kitchen. For the rest, you look at the placement and send some to your father-in-law. …… Junhui lives outside and brings him some back. ”

Xun Qingran nodded, the two came out again, Xun Qingran ordered someone to change to hot tea, and left Junhui and Qi You to talk together, so he took someone out to count things. Longan is the same as the one sent by the Hou Mansion, and the taro is a large betel nut taro.

Junhui wanted to go back to Lushan Academy and Xunfu again, so he got up and said goodbye.

Xun Qingran naturally had a lot of words to tell her younger brother, and when she saw that it was getting late, she became worried. It was Qi You who arranged a carriage and sent another family member to escort him, and Xun Qingran was relieved.
