Chapter 230: The Feast
Fu Tingyun couldn't help crying.
The lobby sister is ten years older than her, and she is the eldest sister, and she has more time to discipline these sisters, and less time to play with them, while the second cousin is a concubine, and the lobby sister is the head of the house, and she always looks at the eyes of the lobby sister on weekdays. Only three cousins, humorous, lively and cheerful, often led their sisters to play, if the sisters because of the scriptures and into trouble, in front of the elders she and people, never ambiguous, if there are sisters in trouble, she has money to contribute, no money to contribute, can always give the sisters an explanation, the sisters to her is admiration and love, more respect than the lobby sister.
Santang's words made her feel like she was back when she was a child.
Thinking of the grievances she received from Master Fu Wu, she cried even more sadly.
The fifth cousin and the seventh cousin saw it, and they couldn't help wiping their tears on the side. Or Mrs. Lu, who accompanied her third cousin in, was older, and experienced more joys and sorrows, and persuaded: "The reunion of your sisters is a great joy, and you should be happy, why do you cry instead?" ”
When the third cousin heard this, she pushed Fu Tingyun away, held back her tears and showed a smile, and said, "My aunt is right, our sisters should be happy to reunite, and crying like this will inevitably live up to the Bodhisattva's kindness." ”
"That's exactly what it is." Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Let's go into the house—Mrs. Third Aunt has come from afar, and she hasn't even drunk tea yet!" ”
Fu Tingyun hurriedly wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Look at me, I only know that I am sad, but I forgot that the third sister worked hard all the way······" Then I thought that Yuwei said that the third cousin also brought two sons, and stretched her neck to look behind her, "It is said that the two nephews are here with the third sister, what about people?" ”
As she was asking, two children, one older and one young, dressed in a long robe with Buddha heads, took a few steps forward and respectfully saluted her, shouting "Ninth Aunt", and then saluted Fifth Cousin and Seventh Cousin, shouting "Fifth Aunt" and "Seventh Aunt".
The fifth cousin and the seventh cousin smiled in unison, and one said, "No need to be polite!" One said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you are becoming more and more sensible!" ”
Fu Tingyun knew that these were the two sons of the third cousin, and couldn't help but look at them carefully.
Spring Cake is seven years old, Lantern Festival is four years old, although he looks like a third cousin, he is taller than ordinary children, and his eyebrows are a little less lively than children of their age, and a little more calm.
She hurriedly shouted Yuwei and asked her to take Youyou and Brother Xi out to meet the guests, and then gave the two children the meeting gifts that had been prepared for a long time - the Duan Yan of the two parties in front of the court, and the two boxes of Chengxin paper.
The two children thanked each other.
Yuwei led Youyou and Brother Xi to appear under the eaves of the main house.
The third cousin couldn't help but widen her eyes when she looked at the two children: "Why do the two of them look like they were printed out of the same mold as Quan Hui when she was a child?" ”
The fifth and seventh cousins laughed on the sidelines.
Fu Tingyun smiled bitterly: "I also want my son to be like his father, but he is like me, what can I do?" ”
The fifth cousin listened and quipped, "Don't you have another one in your stomach?" It's still too late to ask the third sister, the spring cakes and the Lantern Festival are like the third brother-in-law! ”
"You're pregnant again?" Santang looked at Fu Tingyun in surprise, and then his eyes showed a bit of envy, "You guy, you are really blessed!" ”
While talking, Youyou and Brother Xi walked over.
Fu Tingyun smiled and pointed to the three cousins, Spring Cake and Lantern Festival, and told the two children to recognize their relatives.
Yo You was able to salute in a decent way again, but Brother Xi could only reluctantly clasp his fists.
The third cousin only felt happy when she saw it, hugged Brother Xi with one hand, and took Yo You with the other hand and instructed the people around her: "Bring in the meeting I gave to Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin." ”
The mother smiled in response, and after a while someone brought in two cages.
Fu Tingyun looked at the sweating and hurriedly said: "Third sister, you are too spoiled by these two children!" ”
The third cousin smiled: "It's just something to play with, and it's not a precious thing." He joked again, "I'm just an aunt, just to please my nephew and nephew's daughter." As for disciplining children, that's your parent's responsibility. ”
Everyone laughed when they said this.
In the laughter, Fu Tingyun led everyone into the hall.
Yuwei commanded the maid to serve tea and snacks, Mrs. Lu commanded the daughter-in-law to clean up the room for the third cousin to rest, and Zheng Sanniang had already prepared a table of good dishes.
The three cousins went down to freshen up, and everyone sat down around the Eight Immortals table in the hall.
Pearl came in and said, "Madam, the young grandmother of the Fu family is here!" ”
Sister-in-law!
Fu Tingyun was stunned and hurriedly said, "Please come in!" When I turned around, I saw that my three sisters were also full of surprise. Fu Tingyun confessed and said, "I'll go to greet my sister-in-law." ”
The third cousin, the fifth cousin, and the seventh cousin also stood up: "Let's go to meet my sister-in-law together." ”
Fu Tingyun nodded, went out with the third sister, and met Grandma Fu at the Hanging Flower Gate.
When everyone met, they had to settle down for a while, returned to the hall, and sat down again according to the eldest child, Fu Tingyun knew that the news of her hospitality had spread all over the Fu family.
“…··· They didn't receive the post, so they didn't come out of nowhere, but they came uninvited because they were brothers and sisters who were compatriots and you. "Grandma Fu explained with a smile, 'It's a pity that your two nephews are now studying with their uncle, and they won't be able to come back for a while, otherwise, I would have brought them with me.' It's a pity.
When the girls got married, they were from other people's families, and when the daughters-in-law got married, they were from the Fu family. The arrival of Grandma Fu also shows the Fu family's attitude towards Fu Tingyun's return this time.
The third cousin, the fifth cousin, and the seventh cousin are also people who have sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, and they can't help but show a little shame when they hear this. The third cousin even found an opportunity to talk to Fu Tingyun without others: "You are still alive, even if we know it, we are all surprised, and we can't help but think carefully about the events of the year, not to mention a few sisters-in-law and younger siblings, after all, they married in from outside, most of your affairs are from the brothers, younger brothers, they are in the outer courtyard, unlike those of us who are sisters, they grew up with you, knowing your character and virtue, you have to give them a while." ”
"I'm not resentful." Fu Tingyun smiled and said bluntly, "There are still sisters who come and don't come, let alone sisters-in-law and younger siblings?" ”
The third cousin bowed her head slightly when she listened, showing a relieved expression: "Quan Hui, you have grown up!" ”
It's as if she's been through a lot of vicissitudes.
Fu Tingyun laughed and teased: "When I am fifty years old, my sister is only fifty-six, and we are all goosebumps, so we shouldn't be able to see any difference, right?" ”
The third cousin couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Listening to your words, it's still like the reckless Fu Xiaojiu back then!" ”
Fu Tingyun grinned and took the arm of the third cousin.
It seems to be back to the old days......
Neither of them showed a knowing smile.
※※※※※
Because of the arrival of the third cousin and Grandma Fu, the house seemed a little crowded, but it was also very lively.
Everyone talked and laughed, the days passed very quickly, and it was the beginning of October in the blink of an eye
Six cousins, ten cousins, and eleven cousins came in a row.
The courtyard immediately became noisy.
Everyone greeted each other, asked about each other's current situation, talked about their husbands and children, and chattered, so that they were lying on the railing and looking at the spring cakes, Lantern Festival and Yoyo.
Lantern Xiao said with some distress: "Didn't Daddy say that 'a gentleman wants to be quick to speak and quick to act?'" Mother is like this, but she is not a gentleman! ”
"The third aunt is not a man!" Yo You immediately retorted, "The gentleman is a man. ”
Lantern Xiao didn't know if Yo You's words were right, he looked at his brother Spring Cake.
Chun Bi felt that Yo You's words made sense, but he didn't want his younger brother who said the wrong thing to lose face in front of Yo You, the beautiful cousin he had just met, so he coughed lightly twice in embarrassment like his father, and said, "You are still young, you will know when you grow up." ”
Lantern Xiao's face turned pale when he heard this.
Yo You pouted a little angrily, turned her face sideways, thought that she was the master, and decided not to talk to these two rigid cousins again.
Chun Cake felt a little sorry for Youyou, revealing a flattering expression that even he didn't know about, and whispered to Youyou: "Cousin of the Zhao family, do you like orchids?" We have a flower room in the backyard where my father's orchids are raised. There are green clouds, Song Mei, Xuesu, Yongfu, Fengwei ......"
Yo You didn't want to pay attention to him and said, "I don't like orchids." ”
Chun Cake was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Then, what do you like?" The voice grew softer and softer.
Seeing that his posture in front of him was very low, Yoyou couldn't help but feel that his attitude was a little bad, and his expression gradually softened, and said, "I like impatiens, I can dye my nails." ”
"Oh!" Spring Cake was a little disappointed, "The maids like impatiens······ It's all over the place......"
was compared with the maid, Yoyou felt that this cousin looked down on herself a little, and said angrily: "I like impatiens, and I also like to dye my nails." His jaw couldn't help but rise.
Seeing her suddenly lose her temper, Chun Cake couldn't help but panic in his heart, but fortunately, he had been carefully cultivated by his father since he was born, and he quickly calmed down, recalling every word and deed that had just happened, and then he realized that what he had just said was inappropriate.
He regretted it very much, and hurriedly said, "Cousin of the Zhao family, I didn't mean that······ I mean, impatiens are everywhere, unlike orchids, which grow in elegant places······"
It's not that she is like a little maid who has never seen the world, what is it?
Yoyo puffed out her cheeks.
Again, it's wrong.
Chun Cake regretfully wanted to explain more carefully, but who knew that her mother's personal mother came over with a smile: "Master Da, Mrs. called you!" said that you and the second young master went over to ask a few aunts and wives to say goodbye! ”
He had to stop the topic and took his younger brother and his mother's mother to the main house.
After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn around, but Yo You was gone.
Only the yellow dead leaves of the locust tree fell all over the ground.
Spring Cake couldn't help but clench his fists.
In any case, I have to find a chance to talk to my cousin······ Otherwise, what if she misunderstands herself?
