Chapter 229: Invitation
Early the next morning, the fifth cousin rubbed her temples and went to the hall.
Fu Tingyun and her fifth cousin were already waiting for her at the table to have breakfast, and the two of them were talking about the treat: "...... The third sister, my close mother invited me to send the invitation, as for the fourth sister, the sixth sister, and the eighth sister, I have to trouble the fifth sister to send the mother next to me to send the invitation - they live closer, often come and come, and the servants are familiar with each other...... "Hearing the movement, I saw the fifth cousin walking in, and the seventh cousin smiled and said, "We thought you had to get up on the sun?" ”
The fifth cousin sat on the embroidery pier at the bottom of them with a dazed expression, and first called Yitong to help her make a thick cup, and then said weakly: "As someone else's daughter-in-law, I am used to getting up early, who can sleep peacefully until the sunrise?" ”
"That's right." The seventh cousin listened and said with a slight emotion, "Even if you become a mother-in-law, you may not be able to sleep until the sun rises - sometimes you have to be an example for juniors!" ”
"In short, don't think about living in peace if you get married!" The fifth cousin took the tea offered by Yuwei and drank several sips before saying, "The invitation has been arranged?" ”
The seventh cousin nodded and said, "The ninth sister went back to Xi'an temporarily, and lived in my aunt's house, and there was a shortage of manpower, so I arranged for the entourage of our two families to go out." ”
Fu Tingyun felt that the past should not be mentioned again, and did not explain the identity of Master Lu to the two sisters, and the fifth and seventh cousins thought that Mrs. Lu was Zhao Lingzheng's aunt.
"It's nature." The fifth cousin looked like she took it for granted and asked, "Just send a message to the family." ”
The seventh cousin said pointedly: "I have already instructed my personal mother to go back and report to our father-in-law, only to say that I have found the ninth sister." I'm going to get together with her for a few days, and I'll talk about the rest when I get back. ”
"I've got to have a word to say when I go back!" The fifth cousin smiled, "Huayin is our maiden family after all, it's too unbearable. We don't have a light on our faces! I'm good to say, Xianggong is the only son in the family, and you still have a concubine. You can't make people see jokes, right? ”
The seventh cousin smiled: "What's so embarrassing about this? It is said that at that time, the displaced people entered the city, and the soldiers were in a panic, and the ninth sister fled with the displaced people in order to avoid disaster. Lost contact with his family. The family thought that the ninth sister had been killed, and they were afraid that their reputation would be ruined, so they only said that they had died of illness. The ninth sister was inadvertently rescued by the emperor...... No, it's fine! ”
"It's still your brain spinning fast." The fifth cousin thought this was a good statement, and nodded with a smile, "Then when the sisters meet, let's just say so." ”
Fu Tingyun also thinks it's better.
There are many things that are wrong, and the complex ones are simplified, so as not to be maliciously speculated by others.
At the moment, the seventh cousin grinds ink. Fu Tingyun wrote the post, and the fifth cousin assigned people to send out the invitation in one morning.
Brother Xi is fine. Yoyou saw that there were suddenly two more aunts in the family, and everyone laughed and laughed, which was very lively. also followed the side to make fun, ran out and ran in, and after a while, under the care of Tong's mother, he brought a teacup in: "Aunt drink tea!" After a while, he asked Zheng Sanniang for fruit and presented it: "Aunt eats fruit!" "Look at the seventh cousin hotly, "Our family is Ranran, I grew up in my mother-in-law's house, and I am a daughter, I am used to being lawless, I am afraid that I will be alone, and I will run away when I see it," and then hugged Yoyou and joked, "Ninth sister, give me Yoyou as a daughter-in-law, right?" Two sons are yours to choose! ”
Fu Tingyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Your two boys are younger than Youyou, that's not possible!" ”
The fifth cousin laughed and said, "The eldest son of our family is the same year as Youyou, but I'm afraid that the ninth brother-in-law may not be willing." ”
"You two are aunts," Fu Tingyun said angrily, "Do you joke in front of your children like this?" ”
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Yo You, who was obediently nestled in the arms of her seventh cousin.
Yoyo is looking at the adults in the room curiously with her eyes open. Seeing everyone looking at her, her mother's tone was vague, and she couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Mother, don't give me to Aunt Seven......"
The fairy tale made everyone laugh.
Fu Tingyun hugged her daughter, and comforted Youyou with a gentle smile: "Aunt Seventh likes you and is joking with you!" You are the daughter of our family, how can you give it to someone else's family! ”
Yoyo let out a long sigh of relief, looking relieved.
It made the fifth cousin and the seventh cousin laugh again.
The seventh cousin proposed to go to Guangren Temple later: "It's hard to come out, and there are no children to follow, why do you want to visit Xi'an Mansion!" ”
The fifth cousin echoed: "There are still ten days before the second day of October, and being idle is also idle." ”
Fu Tingyun thought that when he was a child, he and his grandmother went to the temple to make incense, and the sisters prepared clothes and jewelry a few days earlier...... The corners of his mouth couldn't help curling, and he was also interested in playing: "Okay! I asked Uncle Lu to help arrange the arrangement. ”
The fifth cousin said: "You'd better let Uncle Lu help buy some famous pastries in Xi'an, and when the sisters get together, it will be a tuyi!" ”
Fu Tingyun nodded and ordered to go down.
In the afternoon, she accompanied her fifth and seventh cousins to offer incense at the nearby Guangren Temple, and after listening to the master of the temple, she turned back.
Shopkeeper Lu came in to discuss them: "Daci'en Temple, Daxingshan Temple, Qingliang Temple...... They are all going to go, and the silver building on Baoqing Street should also be visited. "Very well arranged.
As soon as the fifth and seventh cousins heard that they had arranged to visit Baoqing Street, they immediately became excited. But after the excitement, he began to worry about Fu Tingyun's body again: "Otherwise, let's go to the temple and stop going to Baoqing Street." It's too crowded there. ”
"It's okay," Fu Tingyun said with a smile, "It's not about walking to walk around the temple, if I feel tired, just rest." ”
"That's fine!" The fifth cousin smiled, "You know your own body, you just don't have to force it." ”
Fu Tingyun responded with a smile and accompanied the two sisters to hang out.
The shopkeeper Lu quickly prepared some local products from Xi'an.
Within a few days, the people sent to them came back one after another.
Among them, the person who was sent to deliver the letter to the lobby sister said: "The aunt's wife said that she has been a little unwell in the past few days, and she still needs to take medicine every day, so she will not come." When I get better one day, I will visit Aunt Jiu again. The second aunt was embarrassed when she heard this, and thought about it for a long time, so she asked me to bring a child's silver collar and a child's silver bracelet, saying that it was a gift for the eldest lady and the eldest young master. If Mrs. Ninth is free, please go to the house as a guest. As he spoke, he handed the things that her second cousin asked her to bring.
The fifth cousin raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said, "I know that she is devoted to the eldest aunt, for fear that it will be unfavorable to the eldest aunt." He complained again, "The second sister is too, serving the eldest sister has become a habit, and I don't want to think about how the third sister has treated her all these years?" ”
"You can't say that." Fu Tingyun understands her second cousin very well, "She is an orphan and widow, and she doesn't want to get involved in right and wrong." If she just blindly looked at the big sister as the leader, she wouldn't have deliberately asked people to bring a meeting gift to Youyou and Brother Xi," he said, taking the collar and bracelet from Yuwei's hand, but he continued, "Just like me, I don't want to go to a few sisters, but I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed." ”
The big red velvet handkerchief was opened, and it was a simple but atmospheric collar and bracelet, but some of the patterns of the collar and bracelet had turned black, and it could be seen that it was an old thing.
She couldn't help sighing and showed the two sisters something: "Maybe this was sent by Huayin when my niece was one year old!" The second sister's life is not easy either. ”
The two of them were silent, and their hearts were a little sour.
"Just find an opportunity to talk to the second sister." The seventh cousin muttered.
Fu Tingyun and the fifth cousin nodded.
The person who went to deliver the letter to the sixth sister returned: "...... The sixth aunt said that she would rush over after arranging the affairs of the family safely. Then I sent my mother to Mrs. Ten, and when I heard that Mrs. Ten had come over in two days, I left a letter to Mrs. Ten, saying that she would lead the way when the time came, and that I would be sent back to a few wives to reply. ”
The fifth cousin smiled when she heard this, and said, "The sixth sister is a cheerful person!" ”
Fu Tingyun and the seventh cousin pursed their lips and smiled.
After that, the fourth cousin said that her mother-in-law was sick, and like the second cousin, she gave a longevity lock to Youyou and Brother Xi as a meeting gift; The eighth cousin replied that her brother-in-law was about to give birth, and she couldn't come on the second day of October, so she asked Fu Tingyun to wait for her for two days, and she would definitely arrive before the fifth day of October. The eleventh cousin said that she would come with the sixth cousin and the tenth cousin.
The shopkeeper and Mrs. Lu were busy arranging a banquet and inviting a female gentleman to sing a book, and the other was busy cleaning the dust and furnishing the house, and they were very busy.
The fifth cousin was a little anxious: "Why is there no news of the third sister?" ”
The seventh cousin also began to be a little unsure: "Or maybe something is delayed." ”
Fu Tingyun smiled bitterly, half self-enlightening and half comforting the two cousins: "What's the hurry, isn't this the second day of October yet?" With the temperament of the third sister, she will give us a letter if she comes or not. ”
The two nodded.
Yuwei ran in: "Madam, ma'am," her face was swollen and red with excitement, "Mrs. Third Aunt is here." also brought two young masters. ”
"Ahh The three Fu Tingyun sisters couldn't help but look at each other, and then stood up in unison.
"Quick, invite her in." Fu Tingyun said, straightening his clothes.
The fifth cousin has smiled and said, "I said, how can the third sister not come?" Then he pulled Fu Tingyun, "Let's go, I'll follow you to meet the third sister." ”
Fu Tingyun bowed his head and walked out with his fifth cousin and seventh cousin.
A tall woman walked in front of her, wearing a lake-colored plain gown, her jet-black hair was meticulously curled in a bun at the back of her head, and there was no headpiece on her body, but her gestures were generous and elegant, which made people look away.
"Third sister......" Fu Tingyun shouted loudly, her eyes glancing.
The third cousin had already taken three steps and used two steps, and stepped forward to hug Fu Tingyun.
"Quan Hui, why are you so stupid! Why don't you come to me? Before he could finish speaking, he began to cry.
