Chapter 7 Chapter 7

Zhu Niang folded the bluegrass skirt and put it away, and found a clean set from the baggage to change into.

As soon as she took care of it, Zhu'er, who had changed into new clothes, came running.

Xu was in a hurry, sweating all over his head.

Before entering the house, he poured a teapot of water ruthlessly, grabbed Zhu Niang and walked out: "Zhu Niang Zhu Niang!" Hurry up, come with me! The young cousin is here! ”

Zhu Niang wondered: "Cousin of the young son? But the one from Qingzhou? ”

Zhu'er looked back at Zhu Niang with an inexplicable expression: "Then who else?" Zhu Niang, are you confused? ”

Zhu Niang slapped him on the hedgehog head: "No one is right!" ”

Zhu'er pretended to hide: "Cousin Shaozi also arrived last night, a little earlier than us." Didn't you see the carriage with the gray cloth shed in the East Garden this morning? That's the cousin of the young son! ”

Zhu Niang, what's the undisguised pride in this tone?

Hearing Zhu'er say this, Zhu Niang was puzzled again: "Isn't the young cousin the cousin of the two grandmothers?" Why did you get involved with your cousin's third mother-in-law's family again? "And it seems to be on good terms.

Zhu'er Xu was stunned by Zhu Niang, and stayed for a while before patting her leg and saying, "Oops! Originally, it didn't matter, but the year before last, the third mother-in-law's family raised a grain and oil store, and the young cousin's family was an old brand grain and oil store in Qingzhou, and the third mother-in-law's family had to buy and sell in Qingzhou. After this back and forth, the young son's cousin's family became the owner of the third mother-in-law's family. ”

Zhu Niang nodded and said to herself: "So, this is the leader who came to inspect the subordinates?" ”

Pearl: "Huh? ”

Zhu'er scratched her head and looked puzzled, and was about to ask, when she heard a warm laugh, and a man in green clothes stepped into the wing.

Behind the man in Tsing Yi was a boy the size of a pearl, standing behind the man in Tsing Yi in a proper manner.

The man in green clothes was quite tall, but he was very thin, with elegant facial features, and his face was very pale, almost pale.

The whole person exudes a sense of sickness.

The gestures reveal a good temperament.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he came out of the ghost of a Chinese woman...... looks like a weak scholar......

As soon as the boy entered the door, Zhu'er smiled and called: "Young cousin! ”

Zhu Niang suddenly remembered that the cat had said that the young son had come to Shuangjiao Mountain to propose, but he didn't know how he was, but he didn't agree.

This can be said to be a relatively awkward encounter in modern times......

What's even more embarrassing is that this young man has been looking at himself since he entered the door.

Zhu Niang's scalp tightened: "...... Belch...... Cousin with a young son! ”

The young son did enter the door, and his eyes were always glued to Zhu Niang. Now she could hear her call to herself respectfully. But he was stunned for a moment,

It wasn't until Zhu'er spoke out that the young son answered Zhuniang.

Zhu'er didn't notice the change in the expressions of the two, and began to look around the room, and when she saw Zhuniang looking at herself, she touched her head and said, "Didn't I just look at Qiu Niang and come here...... Belch...... I'll just ...... Only. ”

Zhu Niang knew that Zhu Er was worried about herself, and pointed to the small cabinet: "Oh, Qiu Niang brought it this morning." ”

Zhu'er glanced at the woman's things neatly arranged on the small cabinet, scratched her head and stopped talking.

…………………………………………

The three of them chatted as they went out the door.

In fact, it's all Zhu'er and the young son chatting, Zhu'er is babbling, and she is lively and excited to meet her idol. The young son also responds gently and patiently to the strange questions of the pearls.

She followed the two of them and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Along the way, Zhu Niang found that this is a three-entry courtyard, and the area is not small.

In addition to the West Garden, where the family of three lives now, there is also the North Garden, where the master's family lives, and the East Garden, where the young son lives temporarily.

When the three of them arrived in the front hall, they saw that the three mothers-in-law, Qiu Niang and Ah Niang were already sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals where the food had been arranged.

The meal was very sufficient, and a table full of meat and vegetables was set up.

This table of dishes, for Zhu'er, who has not eaten a full meal for a long time, and Zhuniang's two sisters and brothers, is really spectacular.

Seeing the three of them, the third mother-in-law got up with a smile and beckoned the three to take a seat.

There was no one in the upper seat, and the young man walked over naturally. first called "aunt" respectfully to Ah Niang, and then sat down.

Zhu Niang saw that there was only an empty seat next to Shaozi, so she sat down next to Shaozi.

And Qiu Niang sat on the other hand of the young son.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, Qiu Niang, who was unusually silent at the beginning, came face to face with Zhu Niang.

Seeing that everyone was seated, the third mother-in-law smiled and said to the young son: "Eldest son, this dish is a little lighter, so please settle it." ”

The young son is his standard gentle smile: "It's okay." ”

The young son answered, and the third mother-in-law said to Ah Niang: "Four brothers and daughters-in-law, these things are a little simpler, but the amount is enough, just let a few children let go of eating, don't be restrained." ”

In fact, there is no need for the third mother-in-law to greet her, Zhu'er, who had already sat down before the young son, had already eaten unceremoniously.

Ah Niang really didn't hold Zhu'er, now, Zhu'er has already eaten a bowl of rice.

The third mother-in-law kept smiling and stretched out her chopsticks.

Qiu Niang, who was sitting on the side, saw that her mother stretched out her chopsticks, so she took out the chopsticks and clamped them...... A small bite of shredded cabbage?

Qiu Niang shyly swallowed the shredded vegetables on the top of the chopsticks, but her eyes flew in her direction.

Facing it directly, Zhu Niang couldn't pretend not to see it, and couldn't resist her curiosity.

Zhu Niang looked at her delicate eyes that were about to drip honey.

I saw a young man who was drinking soup and was unmoved.

Seeing Zhu Niang looking over, the young man hooked the corners of his mouth at her through the soup spoon.

"Ahem, ahem! ......" Zhu Niang choked on her own saliva.

A glass of water and a gray handkerchief were handed over to him.

The hand holding the handkerchief was slender and powerful, slightly pale.

A small black mole on the back of the hand.

It was the one who touched Zhu'er's head earlier...... The hand of the young son.

Zhu Niang immediately felt the blazing heat coming from the seat next to her.

She didn't like Qiu Niang's eyes from the first sight, so she was so frightened that she stood up: "Ah Niang, the third mother-in-law!" I'm full! You use it slowly. ”

Zhu Niang ran out of the front hall in one go, and ran out of the courtyard along the stone path that led all the way to the gate.

Outside the courtyard is a lively long street, and the cries of selling have been racing for a while.

Zhu Niang remembers that when she came last night, it was just a long street so silent that you could only hear the crunch of donkey hooves on the bluestone slabs.

Donkey cart on ...... Carrying three homeless people who had fled.

Zhu Niang looked at this lively long street...... It's like a world away.

With nowhere else to go, she sat on the stone steps with her legs crossed.

Looking at this era that does not belong to her, this lively street market that does not belong to their family of three.

A vendor carrying a burden stopped in front of Zhu Niang: "Girl, do you want to buy sugar?" It's so sweet! Don't believe you? The peddler took off his burden and revealed the sugar with the wooden lid peeled off in front of Zhu Niang's eyes.

Zhu Niang looked at the round brown candy, very curious, she looked up at the vendor who was smiling at her: "I really want to eat it, but I don't have any money......"

The peddler was stunned, stared at Zhu Niang for a long time before saying, "It's okay, the girl is beautiful!" This is what I gave you to eat. After speaking, he took a round candy from his burden and gave it to Zhu Niang.

"No, you don't! The old man is doing business hard, so it's better to count the money. Before the words fell, a pair of slender hands with a black mole on the back of their hands handed over the silver coin.

Zhu Niang looked up at the young son standing behind her, and hung her head silently.
