Chapter 38 The Second Room Xinding
"Qingzhu bought so much sugar, you can help bring two packets back to the front yard to eat." Yiyi looked back and saw the young man's delicate face, with some desire to speak and stopped: "Hey~ Do you like it too much, I don't feel that these are enough to eat?" Then I'll call the little one back and buy his basket. ”
Qingzhu listened and waved his hand: "Enough, enough!" Miss doesn't have to buy it anymore. "Whoever wants to eat candy is not a child! If it weren't for the fact that Miss didn't disobey her words, he would have too much of this bag. He's just wondering: to say that Miss Eat's one pack is enough to eat; If you want to help people, it is better to buy all of them in a basket, so that the child can get the money and go home early, but she bought five packs.
The two of them didn't go back to the carriage after a while, and on the other side of the street, they saw that the two people who were sweating just now were talking to the third uncle on the side of the carriage.
"Lord Dong, this is the daughter of my brother, I have come to see Lord Dong, the supervisor of the mutual market, this is Lord Lou Lushi." Lin Zhaoxian first introduced the older one, and then introduced the young one.
"Hello Lord Dong, hello Lord Lou!"
"Master Dong and your father are in the same department, and you also met them when you were young." Lin Zhaoxian further introduced.
The elder Dong had already sweated, with thick eyebrows and big eyes on his square face, and he was tall and burly. "Lord Lin, I have admired my name for a long time!" As soon as he looked at Yiyi, he made a slightly exaggerated joke, and it seemed that his personality was quite hearty and easy-going.
"Lord Lin!" Lou was surprised, and immediately said hello.
"It seems to me that the real fame has spread far and wide, and even Lord Dong knows about it." Yiyi is really a little embarrassed, the official is small and famous, so it's a burden.
Everyone stood for a while, and a fine sweat appeared on Lord Dong's face and forehead. Yiyi casually handed the caramel forward, and Master Dong took a piece and put it in his mouth.
Qingzhu took a bag of caramel and asked Lord Dong to accept it. I bought a lot just now, and I asked Master Dong to help me eat some. ”
Lin Zhaoxian looked a little confused, and didn't ask until the two groups of people separated: "Why do you want to send caramel to the elders you just met?" ”
"Stop the spicy!" Yiyi smiled and said the reason.
"There are really not many spicy foods that Mi Jing can eat now." This chili pepper is still a fresh condiment in Mijing, and it is not usually seen in other state capitals, and the ones you like are not spicy or happy, and you can't eat those you don't like. "What is the reason for the red and bright fish soup you made for lunch, but it doesn't taste very spicy?"
"I first fried the chili peppers slightly in hot oil, and they were red but not spicy...... gossip all the way to the restaurant on the left hand of the ready-to-wear store.
Now it's not early, so I decided not to go to the pen store today, just buy a gift from the restaurant and go back to the second room to eat.
I bought four-color halva, plum blossom cakes, rose cakes, tangram dim sum and a fine ham; In addition, I went to the wine shop and bought the best aged wine on the altar.
When Lin Zhaoxian arrived at the door of the second house, He Mother and Lamei, who had sent Zuo Yuqin to leave from the corner door of the backyard, were talking in the backyard residence.
Mother You was also shocked: "Lamei, how dare you do it with the eldest lady today, this is in the main courtyard, the lady is in charge and can protect you, if it is elsewhere, how can you get it?!" ”
"I see that she is alone now, she went out early, and now she has just come back, so she shouldn't know the rules of Beijing. I just want to sweep away her majesty as soon as possible, so as to establish a prestige for our main courtyard. Lamei didn't expect that at this time, she would let the other party play prestige, and she would be so dangerous. Although he didn't ask for mercy on his lips, he was also a little afraid in his heart.
"The third master is still sitting on the side!" You's mother only has one son and two daughters, both of whom have become families, and her daughter has married out, needless to say. In the past, her son relied on his loyal uncle to find a good errand, so she stayed by the young lady's side to serve her wholeheartedly, which was considered to be a support for her son. Now she is loyal to her wife, but she strives to live a stable life. After a few years, when you are old, you will be satisfied when you go home and go to your children and grandchildren around your knees and enjoy a few years of blessings.
"The third master is an official, I'm not thinking about it, with a lady here, they always have to take into account the official reputation and filial piety!" Speaking of this, Lamei is even more depressed, the slave is afraid of the master, and the master has to respect the elders. Obviously, every family is like this, and even the second room in the house has been like this for many years. The eldest lady confronted the oldest lady in the family, and she stepped forward to pull a few times out of loyalty and urgency, and the eldest lady should not dare to publicize her calculations. How could such a big deviation occur in such a clear matter?
"Lamei, we are in the three mansions, and we all serve our wife together. I have spent more time with you than with my children. If it is suitable or not today, I will advise you to be cautious in the future. "Official? The eldest lady is an official herself, and this Lin Mansion is not only the master of the lady. Lamei doesn't seem to be able to distinguish the difference between the eldest lady and the second miss.
Yiyi naturally didn't know this, and at this time the coachman had already driven the carriage back to the car room of the main house. Qingzhu followed their uncle and nephew to move things to the pine garden, and when they arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, the two maids who heard the sound took the things.
Yiyi smelled the smell of cooking smoke and rice at the gate of Songyuan, so he told Qingzhu that he would send them food to the front yard in a while.
The third uncle went to the upper room to see his father.
"Miss, the second lady asked Sister Bishu to come just now, please go to the bamboo garden with the third master for dinner." When she returned to the west inner courtyard and put down the cloth and clothes in her hand, Jasmine hurried back.
"But who's coming to visit my lord?" Yiyi asked casually as he walked out of the inner courtyard. Jasmine replied no.
When I went to the landlord's house, I saw that my father's face was ruddy, and his expression was stable, so I came out with the third uncle, and Ling Xianglan helped bring four-color snacks, ham, and wine to the bamboo garden.
"Third Uncle Yiyi, you're here." Yiliu took the little girl Begonia and Lilac to look into the courtyard, and when she saw the two coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
Ma Shi also came out of the house after hearing the voice: "Yiyi is specially for you today, hurry up and sit in the house." The third brother and your second brother are in the house, and you can talk together, and you can set the meal in a while. Ma Shi saw that Yiyi had brought a gift, and he was a little unexpectedly happy.
"I'm bothering the second uncle and aunt today, and a small gift is not a tribute." Yiyi and Xianglan handed over the gifts, and the first time they went to someone else's house to eat, they were empty-handed, and Yiyi was not used to it.
"What other gifts do you have for your family, it's too polite!" On the one hand, he was polite, and on the other hand, he ordered the two of them to take things. This is bought with the uncle's money, and the big house has two hundred taels of silver from the uncle, so it is naturally not polite to receive such a little thing.
After talking here for a long time, the second uncle poked his head out of the main house: "Third brother, sit in the house." ”
When everyone came into the house, Yiyi saw that the second uncle was holding a baby in his hand, and he looked like he was only two or three months old. Webster was smiling and groaning as he walked out of the main room, the West House. Ma's face suddenly sank: "Today is a family banquet for the third master and the eldest sister, and you will not come out until the dinner is set, so what if you are a guest?" ”
The second uncle saw Wei's pretty face, and said to Ma: "It's not too early, you go and see how the meal is arranged." ”
Ma didn't dare to disobey her husband, but her face sank more and more. Lin Yiliu stood beside Yiyi, and her face was also full of anger. After his father coughed, he straightened his face and ordered the maids to take tea and pour it for the third uncle and cousin.
Yiyi was nervous about this kind of mixed tea, so she shifted her gaze to the second uncle. Lin Zhaojing is close to his father's height, his face is slightly narrow, and his eyebrows and eyes are similar to his grandmother Roche. At this time, his expression revealed a deliberate warmth, and it was a textbook-like expression of hospitality-the second uncle was very polite.
