The eldest lady hurriedly got out of the carriage, and Hang's mother, who greeted her in front of the weeping flower gate, saw that her face was pale and her eyes were swollen, and she knew that Yuan Niang's situation must not be good. While following the eldest lady to the house, he said anxiously: "Two mothers came to Zhongqinbo's mansion, saying that they invited Miss Five, Miss Ten and Eleven Niang to come to Zhongqinbo's Mansion to enjoy spring in five days." ”

The eldest lady suddenly stopped, and Hang's mother almost bumped into her.

"The Gan family of Zhongqin Bofu?" The eldest lady's eyes were sharp, "Enjoying spring? ”

Hang's mother nodded hurriedly: "It was sent by Miss Seventh of the Gan family, please be very sincere, and the big * milk took the post." ”

"Where's the big * milk man?" The eldest lady's voice was a little stern.

"In the hall." Mother Hang smiled busily, "The big * grandmother has drawn up a list of the dowries of several young ladies in front of her, and I am about to wait for you to come back and discuss what to buy!" ”

The eldest lady bowed her head slightly, and walked quickly into the house.

The big * grandmother hurriedly stepped forward: "Mother, aunt and grandmother, she ......"

Tears welled up from the corners of the eldest lady's eyes again: "A false alarm!" "I don't want to talk too much about it.

"That's good." The eldest * grandmother was happy, "I still have two hundred-year-old He Shou Wu in my marriage, why don't I send it to my aunt and grandmother to make up for my body?" ”

The eldest lady thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay." I can't get such a good thing for a while. ”

The eldest * grandmother asked Hang's mother to get it, and she helped the eldest lady to sit on the big kang near the window in the west room, and then took the tea from the maids and served it to the eldest lady in person.

The eldest lady took a sip of tea and said, "Where's the eldest master?" ”

Big * milk smiled: "I was dragged by my classmates to drink." He also instructed the little guy outside to keep the door for his old man at night. ”

The eldest lady's face turned pale, and the teacup in her hand trembled.

The big * milk held his voice and calmed down, not daring to say more.

After a while, the eldest lady's face slowly softened.

"I heard that Miss Gan of Zhongqinbo Mansion has sent an invitation to Wu Niang and wants to invite them to enjoy the spring?"

The big * grandmother hurriedly answered "yes" and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for my mother to come back and get an idea!" ”

"Let them go." The eldest lady's expression was indifferent, and she suddenly changed the topic, "How did I ask you to buy a dowry for them?" ”

The big * milk took a thick list from her sleeve and came out: "This is what I made when I was fine, what do you think?" ”

The eldest lady looked very carefully. However, as soon as I read a few lines, a little maid said, "Big lady, the old man sent someone to ask if you have come back." If you come back, I want to ask my aunt and grandmother how it is? ”

When the eldest lady heard this, her face softened, and she said, "Back to the eldest master, it's fine." ”

The little maid answered the call and left.

The eldest lady handed the list to the eldest * grandmother: "You think very thoughtfully, just buy the list you drafted." If you don't have enough money, you can add more. I did it in the past two days. ”

Two days ago, I said that I was not in a hurry, I bought it slowly, and the important thing was not to overtake. How can you ...... today?

When I thought of my mother-in-law when she came back, I felt something in my heart.

The big * milk smiled and said "yes".

The eldest lady instructed the eldest grandmother again: "I want to ask Hang's mother to help me do something." ”

The big * milk should naturally be "yes", and when Hang's mother took He Shou Wu over, she smiled and said: "If you have anything, just ask her to be." ”

The eldest lady handed He Shouwu to Xu's mother: "Send it to the eldest aunt and grandmother." ”

Xu's mother left in response.

The eldest lady asked the eldest * milk to get Huang Lilai. While flipping through the yellow calendar, she instructed Hang's mother: "You go to the house of Lord Huang Renhuang in the Criminal Department, and say that the day of the next appointment will be set at ......" As she spoke, she turned to the ninth day of the third month, "...... The ninth day of March is good. ”

Big * milk and Hang's mother were taken aback.

Isn't this too urgent, less than nine days before the day of the exam?

If the big * milk was still a little suspicious just now, then now, it is very certain.

She didn't dare to ask more, and said with a smile: "Then I have to prepare." ”

On the day of the hiring, the woman has to entertain the man's comers for a meal.

Hang's mother was even more blessed to congratulate the eldest lady, and then went with a smile.

The eldest lady did not look happy, but there was a trace of tiredness in her expression: "We have just moved in, everything is new, and when the time comes, we can hang two big red lanterns at the door." As for the banquet, what is sold in Yan Kyoto, I picked up the expensive one and came back and let the mother-in-law on the stove make it, and it is not that it will not. ”

Big * milk smiled and nodded: "I'll arrange it." ”

The eldest lady said "um", and said, "You go to Mrs. Wang's house early tomorrow morning and ask her to be our matchmaker!" You might as well be sincere, and invite her to come. ”

The big * milk responded, and the big lady called Coral and Jade to come in and change her clothes. The big * retreated knowingly.

At night, everyone knew that the eldest lady had married Wu Niang Xu to Qian Gongzi.

Wu Niang's face turned pale.

Ziwei and Aster stood aside, and the atmosphere did not dare to speak.

Shi Niang couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she knew it.

It seems that this prince of the Maoguo Mansion has a big problem?

Holly was serving her to wash her feet, and talked to her with a smile: "I heard that the big * grandmother bought all the dowry, and it was full of half of the house. ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Even if there is a room of piles, it can't top a few thin silver tickets." ”

"That's just as well." Holly smiled, took a dry handkerchief and wiped Eleven Niang's feet again, and then took stockings and put them on her, "You said, if Qian Gongzi is nominated for the gold list, won't our family have an aunt Jinshi?" ”

The Great Zhou Township Examination is held in October every year, the general examination is in the middle of March of the following year, and the palace examination is on the first day of April.

Just as Amber came in with her clothes, she smiled and said, "There are so many people who participated in the examination this year!" ”

Holly nodded: "Our uncle, the fourth aunt in the second room, and the rich son...... If they are all hit, then our family will be a three-jinshi. ”

Amber covered her mouth and smiled: "Our family has long been a three-jinshi. To say that father and son are the same jinshi. That's not right, Uncle Sanjinshi? The same cannot be said either...... Oops, there are a lot of jinshi in our family! ”

Everyone laughed.

The old man over there frowned when he heard this: "Won't it be too fast?" How can there be a marriage at this time. Let's wait until May! ”

"There are times when my lord is confused." The eldest lady said with a smile, "When the new Jinshi comes out in May, can we climb this family business or not?" ”

The eldest lord disagreed: "If the surname Qian is so short-sighted, don't do this family business!" ”

"Look at you. Is face important, or is her daughter's future important? The eldest lady said angrily, "I have the final say in this matter." And he said, "I have something to discuss with you." The eldest lady smiled, "You also know that the family surnamed Qian is poor, I am afraid that Wu Niang will suffer in the past, and I want to give her a thousand taels of silver to press the box money, what do you think?" ”

Seeing that the eldest lady was so generous, the eldest man was naturally very happy, and nodded again and again: "Good, good, good." ”

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Huang came to the door early in the morning with silver ingots, ruyi gold hairpins, eight-colored fruits, tea and other things, sat down to drink a cup of tea, and the matchmaker of the Luo family, Mrs. Wang, came belatedly.

The two exchanged the mud gold all-red Cambodia with Wu Niang and Qian Gongzi written on it, and Mrs. Huang handed over the things she brought to the people of the Luo family, and was accompanied by the big * grandmother to eat and drink in the inner house.

During the period, he mentioned the residence of Mr. Qian: "...... I rented a two-room room next to Guozijian and retreated, and I couldn't find a house for a while. Only after May will we discuss the date of the wedding. It happened that the exam was finished at that time, and a double happiness came. ”

The eldest lady thought that if Qian Gongzi really won the Jinshi, then he would have to take the Shu Jishi exam, and if he passed the Shu Jishi exam again, he would have to stay in Yanjing for another three years. If you don't get in, you have to be in Yanjing. If it's fast, you'll be able to get an errand in July or August, but if it's slow, I'm afraid it won't be until the beginning of spring next year.

She thought it was worth it in her heart, and said with a smile: "May is also faster, it is better to wait until September to see if there are any good days." ”

It is common for big families to say that it is common for a year and a half, and it is common for four or five years. Being able to get such a sentence from the Luo family, Mrs. Huang was already very satisfied, and responded with a smile.

Wu Niang's marriage is decided.

The next day, the eldest * grandmother divided the fruits and tea brought by Mr. Qian into two parts, and sent someone to send one to the second and third masters.

The second and third wives found out and came to congratulate them.

Wu Niang hid in the house and didn't come out.

Shi Niang and Shi Niang came out to salute the elders.

Everyone talked and laughed and went to Wu Niang, Wu Niang stood there shyly and did not speak, but Eleven Niang remembered the sound of broken porcelain she heard last night.

The second wife took Wu Niang's hand and said with a smile: "The fifth lady of our family is blessed, and she married a person as soon as she got married." In the future, I will be able to earn a phoenix crown and come back. ”

The third wife also smiled: "This is also a blessing for the sister-in-law." ”

The eldest lady laughed, seeing that Wu Niang's face was red and about to drip blood, and smiled and invited everyone to her room.

Everyone sat down to drink tea and chat, ate lunch, and began to wipe the cards and gossip, Qi Niang and Eleven Niang accompanied them to look at the cards, and Shi Niang sat on the side and knocked melon seeds.

After a few rounds, Qi Niang couldn't sit still, gave Eleven Niang a look, and then said to the second wife: "Mother, we want to go and see the fifth sister." ”

The second wife was making a big three yuan, and waved her hand when she listened: "Go, go, so as not to disturb me here." ”

Qi Niang responded with a smile, took Shi Niang's hand and raised her chin towards Shi Niang.

It means to ask her if she is going.

According to the past, Shi Niang ignored it, but this time she actually let go of the melon seeds in her hand: "Mother, let's also go to see the fifth sister." ”

The eldest lady glanced up at her, and saw Qi Niang holding Eleven Niang again, and nodded.

The three of them stood up and were about to leave, but the fifth and sixth masters, who had been impatient on the side, immediately got up and followed them: "Mother, let's go see the fifth sister too." As she spoke, she ran in front of them with a puff of smoke, causing the seventh sister to giggle.

The third lady hurriedly instructed the maid beside her: "Hurry up." ”

A group of people went to Wu Niang's.

Wu Niang is sitting cross-legged in front of the kang near the window doing needlework.

As soon as Qi Niang saw her, she covered her mouth and laughed, Wu Niang raised her head and made a straight face, without any joy. It made Qi Niang embarrassed: "Fifth sister, my mother and they are all playing cards, let's come to you to rest." ”

Wu Niang reluctantly smiled and called Ziwei to serve them tea.

Qi Niang and Eleven Niang sat down, but the fifth and sixth masters were running around the house.

Sui'er followed behind, and after a while, she said, "Be careful not to knock the pen holder on Miss's table", and after a while, "Be careful not to knock over Miss's flowers", and said the fifth master's temper, and kicked Sui'er's chest with his foot: "Little prostitute, who are you talking about?" ”
