Chapter 172: Childhood Friendship
Before the eldest sister returned to Beijing, the news that she was two months pregnant had already spread to Beijing.
Counting the days, it is just the beginning of the joy.
Both the Cui family and the Zhang family were very happy to receive the good news, especially Zhang Xi, because in that life, the heirs were difficult, and she always liked children.
A-Niang gave birth to three boys and five girls, and the eldest sister was happy to get started, so it can be seen that not being able to give birth to children is not her problem, it must be the problem of the old pious women of the Gu family.
Knowing the day when the eldest sister returned to Beijing, she personally went to Changxiamen to pick up people.
In this life, she was brought up by her eldest sister, and she hadn't been separated from her eldest sister for so long, and she was rashly less of a person to control, she was really unaccustomed to it at first, but after a long time, she really missed her eldest sister.
Even she thought it was incredible, and speaking of which, she was several years older than her eldest sister.
But on the contrary, the eldest sister has the style of the eldest sister, and she looks much more stable and mature than her.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
Zhang Xi got into the carriage they were going back to the city, and just as he was about to sit next to his eldest sister, he asked his eldest brother-in-law Cui Shisanlang to slip to his side, "Your sister has a doll in her belly, sit next to your brother-in-law, don't hit your sister's stomach." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xi stared at the eldest brother-in-law with round eyes, the eldest brother-in-law was too careful, how could she hit the eldest sister's stomach, pursed her mouth, and argued: "I won't hit my sister's stomach." ”
"Okay, Ayang, put away your caution, I've been making you so good lately, I'm about to become fragile glass, Fu Mu and the doctor both said that I'm in good health, and my pregnancy is also very good, so it's not in the way."
Cui Yang stretched out his hand and touched his nose, because he cared about Zhang Yu, he has been a little bit of a soldier recently, "I'm worried, Ah Yan is young and doesn't know the severity." As he spoke, he let go of the hand holding Zhang Xi.
Zhang Yu glanced at Cui Yang with disgust, and stretched out his hand towards Zhang Xi, "Ah Yan, come to Sister A." ”
Zhang Xi walked over happily, but did not let the eldest sister hug him, but sat down beside the eldest sister.
Zhang Yu put his right hand around his little sister and asked, "Who is following outside?" ”
"I brought Chen Shun, as well as He Fumu and Hu Fei." Zhang Xi leaned on the eldest sister's shoulder.
Zhang Yu rubbed the two bags on top of the little sister's head, "Let Chen Shun go back and pass a word, you and I will go back to Cui's house with me for one night today, and I will take you home tomorrow." ”
"You don't have to pass the word, Aya A-Niang knows." Zhang Xi hurriedly explained that she and Aya A-Niang said that they would come to the city gate to pick up the eldest sister, and A-Niang packed up her dress and hair accessories.
Cui Yang on the side said with a smile: "After returning home, I will send someone to Yaoguang Temple to talk to Zhang's house." ”
Zhang Yu listened and nodded.
The carriage traveled slowly, and it took more than an hour to reach the copper
Cui Mansion on Camel Street.
Previously, Zhang Xi had also followed A-Niang a few times, but it was the first time that the eldest sister came back after marrying into the Cui family, entered the house from the side door, and first went to the main courtyard with the eldest sister to ask Mrs. Zheng for peace.
After saying goodbye, Mrs. Zheng asked about the situation in her hometown, but the focus was on her daughter-in-law Zhang Yu, pulling Zhang Yu to sit down beside her, holding her hand and asking for warmth, but throwing her eldest son Cui Yang aside.
It is always a joy to add Ding to the home.
When I came out of the main courtyard, it was already sunset.
Mrs. Zheng was worried that Zhang Xi was pregnant and mentally weak, so she wanted to leave Zhang Xi behind, but Zhang Yu thought that Ah Yan was brought up by her, and she was young, and Ah Niang lived in the monastery for a long time, so she would have to come to her often in the future, so she politely refused and took Zhang Xi back to her courtyard.
Besides, she vaguely realized that for some reason, the little sister seemed to be a little afraid of Mrs. Zheng.
If Zhang Xi knew what the eldest sister was thinking, he would definitely admire it.
Because of that life, she was still a little afraid of Mrs. Zheng, even if Mrs. Zheng had always been very kind and kind to her in her life, but she couldn't forget Mrs. Zheng's hideous face in that life.
And those vicious words.
Therefore, she has never dared to stay alone with Mrs. Zheng.
Although the Cui Mansion is prosperous, Mrs. Zheng only gave birth to Cui Yang, and the remaining seven sons and eight daughters are all concubines, and the youngest daughter is the same age as Zhang Xi, these people don't have to care about Zhang Xi.
And Mrs. Zheng is very strict in governing the family, and under normal circumstances, she can't see these people.
——*——*——
The days are like flowing water, sliding by your fingertips.
Since the eldest sister returned to Beijing, Zhang Xi's daily residence, in addition to Yaoguang Temple, Hehuifang Zhang House, Changqiu Temple, Guanghua Hall in the palace, and Cui Mansion on Tongtuo Street.
For her, she has no fixed place to live, but the places where she stays the longest are Yaoguang Temple and Changqiu Temple.
The north wind is howling, and since the season has entered the winter moon, Luojing City has begun to snow.
The first heavy snowfall came a little earlier than usual.
Zhang Xiwo is in the meditation room of the little monk of Changqiu Temple, and she is practicing calligraphy, holding a few letters of requisition, thinking about how to draft a conscription book.
Occasionally, I would look up at the clear space where I was practicing calligraphy, and my mind was completely immersed in it, as if I had entered a realm of forgetting about things and myself, and I had devoted myself wholeheartedly to it.
After more than two months of practice, the effect was even more obvious than her previous half a year's practice.
Talent and seriousness, both.
In the eyes of others, Ah Silly may be a real fool, but in her eyes, she only thinks she has picked it
Treasure.
Just in order to let Ah Gu return to Luojing as soon as possible, she has to be grateful to Ah Silly for a lifetime.
After practicing all afternoon, Zhang Xi asked Silly to stop.
Looking at the more tangible words are written on the case, Zhang Xi is more and more happy, talent is such a thing, it is impossible to meet it, such as a fool in this life, such as her A Gu.
"Silly, I've practiced calligraphy all afternoon, let's go, I'll take you out for activities." Zhang Xi stepped forward and took Ah Silly's hand and walked outside the Zen room.
"Ahh
"Sixteen Niang."
As soon as he got out of the door of the meditation room, he heard a shout, Zhang Xi looked up, and saw five years old Fu Yuan and Fu Xuan, two sisters and brothers, in the courtyard, followed by two or three servant women and maidservants, one of whom was holding a brown kitten in her arms.
Zhang Xi pulled Ah Silly and walked over, "Ah Yuan, Fu Nineteen, why did you come here." ”
"Grandmother came to listen to the Master's Sutra Lesson, and we came with us, and when the Master said that you were in the temple, she came to look for you." Fu Yuan leaned over to Zhang Xi's side, "The snow outside is very thick, I want to ask you to build a snowman together." ”
"Okay." Zhang Xi agreed, took the hand warmer handed over by He Fumu, first sent one to Ah Silly, and then held one himself, saying that it was a snowman, or more precisely, they went to see a snowman.
There was a large list of servant women and maidservants who followed him, and no matter how they turned, it was not their turn to pile them up with their own hands.
As he spoke, the group walked to the open space on the other side of the prayer building.
Zhang Xi and Fu Yuan walked side by side in front, Fu Shijiulang and Ah Silly walked behind, a good look, I saw Fu Nineteen pinching Ah Silly, Zhang Xi hurriedly stopped: "Fu Nineteen, you are not allowed to bully Silly." ”
"I played with him, and he ignored me." Fu Xuan replied with a grin.
"He ignores you, and you can't pinch him." Zhang Xi stretched out his hand and pulled Silly behind him.
"I'm going to pinch him, and if he ignores me, I won't pinch him." Fu Xuan said, and came forward to tease Silly.
Fu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Nineteen, you are not allowed to pinch people, I have to tell my grandmother." ”
"Grandmother doesn't care about these little things." Fu Xuan stuck out his tongue at Fu Yuan.
Zhang Xi protected Ah Silly behind him and said to Fu Xuan: "If you pinch him again, I will let my brother beat you." ”
I was too impressed by the fight in the teahouse last time, and as soon as this sentence came out, Fu Xuan immediately stopped playing tricks, glared at Zhang Xi angrily, and then stomped his feet and ran away, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, I won't play with you anymore." ”
Bear child, Zhang Xi scolded fiercely in his heart.
Defenseless, a ball of snow slammed into the shoulder, and a series of nasty sounds were heard.
