Xia Ruixi saw that Lin Qingmei was quite embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, I can let Qing Jinnian read it to me." Thank you, Miss Lin. ”

Before Lin Qingmei could answer, Bai Shi smiled again: "The fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister are really affectionate, which makes us really envious." If you want me to say, my father and mother are really accurate, this family is so good, I have never seen Qing Jin so concerned about anyone. When I saw you at my eldest sister's house, I liked you at first sight. ”

When Xia Ruixi heard this, he smiled slightly: "The third sister-in-law smiled. ”

According to the news inquired by Liang'er, the initiator of the marriage between Xia Ruixi and Ou Qingjin was the Bai family. When the snow group hurt people, in order to please her in-laws, she insisted that the reason why Ou Qingjin would take the snow group to Xia Ruixi, and later stared at Xia Ruixi was because she fell in love with Xia Ruixi and asked Mrs. Ou to go to Xia's house to propose marriage.

Later, the Xia family left Geng stickers, but they didn't respond, and she went to tell Mrs. Ou that the Xia family didn't know how to lift. At this time, she is here to praise the second master and his wife for their accurate vision, and this family business is well-knotted, in fact, she indirectly said that she herself has accurate vision, and there is a bit of merit in it. She is the only one who does good and bad things, she is really long-sleeved and good at dancing, and she is exquisite.

Lin Qingmei probably knew about these situations, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head to drink tea.

Xia Ruixi saw that Wu had been sitting without speaking since he came, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know where my eldest brother is now?" ”

Wu's pursed lips showed a gentle smile: "I only sent a letter the day before yesterday, and I will arrive in the capital at the end of this month." ”

Xue Shi blew the tea in the tea bowl and said comfortably: "Sister-in-law, this time our children can enter the office, you let She'er and Yu'er take a good look at the book with his fourth uncle, and when the filial piety period is over, they will go to the imperial examination, and these two children will definitely be able to soar." ”

The She'er and Yu'er in Xue's mouth refer to the two young and successful sons from the Wu family of Dafang, and the big names are called Ou Xinshe and Ou Xinyu.

Bai Shi also said: "Yes, yes, the two children She'er and Yu'er are really good, smart and sensible, and rare and hardworking." Seeing that my family Chen'er is about to be enlightened, I have to learn from my sister-in-law another day, how to raise children well. Now there are more and more people in this family who eat idle food, and the money is getting less and less, if they don't study hard, they may really have to drink the northwest wind in the future. ”

Lin Qingmei's eyebrows frowned, and Xia Ruixi interrupted: "Speaking of which, yesterday Qingjin was still with me Kuashe and Yu'er." ”

Speaking of the two sons of Chengqi, Wu smiled even brighter, "That's it, I'm worried about what the children will do in the future." Now, with this pick, I don't have to worry about them anymore. He turned his head and asked Xue: "What about Yang'er, I heard from Mr. that day that he is also sensible now, and he has studied and practiced calligraphy all day long, and has grown a lot." ”

Yang'er refers to Xue's playboy-like eldest son, Ou Xinyang, Xue's face darkened: "Where did he grow?" There's no way to do it. He didn't make it, and the two younger ones were still young, and they didn't even have a face with me, and they were disliked. As he spoke, his eyes turned red, as if he had something else hidden.

Wu opened his mouth, looked at Lin Qingmei, and stopped talking.

Lin Qingmei stood up and said, "Sisters-in-law, I still have some trivial matters, so I'll retire first." ”

Xia Ruixi knew that she was going to avoid it, but as the host, she had to stay guests: "It's rare for everyone to come to me, there is nothing to do, why don't you just have dinner here with your sisters-in-law and then go?" ”

Lin Qingmei looked at her and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Madame asked Mother Wang to talk to me this morning, and let me go to study for her old man." I took advantage of the fact that it was still early, so I would have gone early and returned early. ”

Xia Ruixi hurriedly confessed to the three Wu families, asked Chun'er to serve carefully in the house, and she went to send Lin Qingmei out.

The two walked to the door, and Lin Qingmei didn't let Xia Ruixi send it again: "The fourth sister-in-law is going back soon, if I'm tired, my wife and the fourth brother won't spare me." ”

Xia Ruixi asked Liang'er to hand Lin Qingmei's lacquer box with pastries and a brocade box to Lin Qingmei's little girl. smiled: "In this box, I brought some golden hibiscus cakes from home, made at home, the taste is not bad, you can try it." In the brocade box is two tributes to smoke and ink, which my sister brought back from Tokyo, listening to Qingjin said, Miss Lin writes well, the sword is given to the hero, and the pink is given to the beauty, you use it just right. ”

Xia Ruixi actually knew that Lin Qingmei was strapped for money and loved calligraphy and painting, so she was afraid that she would not have any money left to buy good ink, and she wanted to give her some practical things, and she was afraid that it would hurt her self-esteem, so she took this opportunity to give her some.

When Lin Qingmei heard that it was Gong Yanmo, her expression was solemn, she looked at Xia Ruixi carefully, and saw that she was smiling innocently, her eyebrows and eyes were full of sincerity and kindness, she sighed lightly, took the brocade box with her own hands, and said, "What can I give you in return for such a valuable thing?" ”

Xia Ruixi smiled brightly: "Miss Lin said this, but it is vulgar. This ink, in the eyes of knowledgeable people, is a good thing, but in the eyes of ignorant people, it cannot be eaten, cannot be worn, and is useless. My writing is too ugly, and it's a waste to use it, but just find a good place for it. ”

Lin Qingmei nodded: "Qingmei." In the future, you can call me Qingmei. Although I am a few years older than you, I want to call you the fourth sister-in-law, and you can call me by my name. ”

Xia Ruixi couldn't beg: "Then I'm welcome, you go slowly, my sister-in-law and they are still in the house, I won't be far away, and I will come and be a companion when I have time." ”

Watching Lin Qingmei disappear gracefully at the end of the path, Xia Ruixi put away the sincere smile on her face and said softly, "Let's go in." ”

Liang'er muttered in a low voice: "I don't like this Miss Lin the most, although she looks at everyone very politely, but those eyes are gloomy, such a good thing, don't leave it for my aunt to write, what to send her?" ”

Xia Ruixi shouted: "Shut up! It's getting more and more unruly! What does the master do, and what do you say? Let me hear this kind of thing come out of your mouth again, and be careful that I hit you on the board! ”

Seeing Xia Ruixi's face, Liang'er was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "Miss, the slave is wrong." Don't dare again. But she was muttering in her heart, she had never said this in the past, but at that time, she didn't see the young lady scolding her, why did she suddenly turn her face at this time?

Bai Shi stood at the door and took everything in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Mrs. Xia is very generous and very strict in governing the family, and now it seems that the fourth brother and sister are not far behind." No wonder Deniang praised you at any time, saying that this splendid garden was governed by you in a strict and orderly manner. ”

Xia Ruixi smiled faintly: "The little girl is not sensible, so the third sister-in-law laughed." ”

Bai said: "Speaking of which, it's no wonder that you like this Miss Lin and are so good to her." Madame also likes her very much, even Qingying and Qingjin think she is a very good person. It turned out that Bi Jin, the one who was assigned out in your yard not long ago, also liked her at the top of the day, and often did needlework with her, and she also taught Bi Jin to read and write. ”
