Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu still looked alert and lively, Eleven Niang greeted them with a smile, and Wu Niang came. After saluting, the little maid brought a small pestle for the two to sit on. The third wife got up and said goodbye: "Thanks to the help of my uncle and sister-in-law these days. As she spoke, her eyes turned red, "I'm here to thank my sister-in-law!" ”

"One family doesn't talk two words." The eldest lady stood up and took the third wife's hand, "I want to leave you here to relax, but I also know that at this time, even the mirage will not keep you." I won't say kind words, you go back and have a good rest, there is no threshold in this world that cannot be passed. Wait a few days, you are in a better mood, come to me again, I have an appointment with the second brother and sister, and the three of us will have a good get-together. ”

The third wife nodded again and again: "Sister-in-law, then I'll go back with the child first." ”

The fifth and sixth masters gave farewell gifts to the eldest wife.

The eldest lady touched the heads of the two and sent the third wife out with a smile: "The children are also tired, let them rest for a while." I am also a mother, and I know your thoughts about your son Jackie Chan. But I can't eat hot dumplings in a hurry, and there are some things that I have to take my time. ”

"That's what my sister-in-law said." The third lady looked a little tired, "Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me." ”

Eleven Niang, who was following behind, thought of the scene when she first met the third wife.

Wearing a peony bun, with large green leaves, and a carved silk jacket of rose, purple and gold. When looking at people, his eyes are slightly slanted, with a condescending sense of superiority.

Now, it is no longer as bright as it used to be......

Without a prominent mother's family, there will be no previous confidence. After all, the third wife has less experience......

She stood behind the eldest lady, smiled and watched the third lady leave, and then accompanied the eldest lady back to the main house.

On the way, the eldest lady asked Wu Niang and Shi Niang: "What have you been doing these days?" ”

Wu Niang smiled: "Are you practicing calligraphy?" Seeing the plaques in the eldest sister's home, I knew what it means to 'there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people'. If you don't sink down to write, I'm afraid of losing my eldest sister's face. ”

"The plaque of the Yongping Marquis Mansion is not given by the emperor, but it is written by the masters of the Hanlin Academy in the past dynasties, and it is normal for you to be inferior." The eldest lady smiled, "Don't take it to heart. He looked at Eleven Niang again.

Eleven Niang hurriedly said: "My daughter is doing needlework at home - I'm going to make an apricot-yellow spring dress for Brother Xu, and a lake-colored spring dress for Brother Zhen." ”

The eldest lady nodded.

Luo Qiao hurriedly lifted the curtain before the eldest lady, but a little maid ran in and said, "The eldest lady, the mother of the Yongping Marquis Mansion is here to deliver the post." ”

The eldest lady turned around suddenly: "Please! ”

The little maid left in response, and after a while, she took her two mothers in her forties.

The two mothers quickly stepped forward to salute the eldest lady, and the eldest lady politely invited the two mothers to sit in the room.

Everyone went back to the house and sat down again, and the maids served tea. One of the women with a red mole on the corner of her mouth handed over the box carved with red lacquer peony flowers in her hand: "Our wife said that in a few days it will be the third daughter's day in March, and we invite the wife of the in-laws, the grandmother of the in-laws, the young lady of the in-laws and the brother of the in-laws to go to the house to be lively and lively - her old man invited the Deyin class to sing at home." ”

Luo Qiao on the side hurriedly took the box and took the big red gold invitation contained in it to show the eldest lady.

Because she already knew the content, the eldest lady just looked at it symbolically, and then said with a smile: "Please ask the two mothers to go back and talk to Mrs. Tai." said that I thanked her for her old man's concern, and she must have brought her daughter-in-law, daughter and grandson to the lively scene that day. ”

"Then I'll thank you on behalf of Mrs. Dai." The mother, who had a red mole at the corner of her mouth, got up and blessed the eldest lady, and then said a few words of greeting, and then got up to say goodbye.

The eldest lady looked at the buds that had just emerged on the branches outside the house, and instructed Wu Niang and Eleven Niang: "It's time to change spring clothes." ”

The two of them said "yes" in unison, sat with the eldest lady for a while, and then got up and went back to their respective rooms.

******

On the third day of the first month of March, Eleven Niang put the black green silk on the back of her head, wore a coral turquoise bead flower, wore a gown with blue sky, and a moon white thread skirt. Relying on his youth and beauty, he only rubbed some jasmine nectar on his face, and went to the eldest lady with no face.

Wu Niang came to her first.

He wore a silver-red gown, combed a horse bun, and inserted three red gold combs with various colored gemstones, and a red gold lantern pendant fell on his ears.

The eldest lady looked at the two of them with a satisfied look, and confessed a few words such as "shout generously when you see someone", "there is a drama in the inner courtyard, don't run around, be careful when you see people you shouldn't see" and so on, and when the eldest grandmother led Brother Xu, who was wearing red silk, to come, the family got up and went to Xufu.

In front of the Hanging Flower Gate of Xu's Mansion, they met an old woman in a gorgeous dress with silver hair.

The old woman greeted them very warmly: "It's Mrs. Xu's in-laws, right?" ”

Although I didn't know her, seeing that the woman was surrounded by more than 20 maids and daughters-in-law wearing gold and silver, the eldest lady didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to salute, saying, "I'm Luo Xu." ”

The old woman smiled and bowed her head, and someone next to her introduced her to the eldest lady: "This is the old lady of the Dingguo Mansion." ”

It turned out to be the Zheng family who shared the courtyard of the eldest princess with the Xu family and lived in front of the Xu family.

The eldest lady hurriedly smiled and said, "It turned out to be the old lady, and the slave family was rude." He also introduced Grandma Luo, Wu Niang, Eleven Niang and Brother Wu to Mrs. Zheng.

Several people stepped forward to salute Mrs. Zheng.

While they were ringing, another carriage came rushing by.

Everyone can't help but follow the prestige.

It is a black painted flat-headed carriage like the Luo family.

When the carriage stopped, a woman jumped down, took a footstool and put it in front of the wheel, stretched out her arm again, and respectfully said to the people in the carriage: "Miss, it's here!" ”

The white and slender soft water stretched out from the stone blue curtain and gently rested on the arm of the woman in the official green gown, and then the curtain opened, and a graceful crimson figure slowly walked down from the carriage.

Everyone present gasped.

"Whose girl is this, it's so beautiful!" Mrs. Zheng's eyes could not hide her amazement.

The eldest lady's face was as pale as plain paper at this moment.

The crimson figure slowly walked towards the eldest lady, squatted down lightly at a distance of five steps from her, and respectfully bowed: "Mother, daughter Shi Niang, please say hello to you." ”

For a moment, all eyes fell on the eldest lady.

The corners of the eldest lady's mouth curled slightly, and the faded ruddy returned to her face little by little: "Shi Niang......"

"It's the daughter." Shi Niang looked sideways at the eldest lady, her eyes sparkling like jewels, "The carriage arranged by the mother for her daughter is going slowly, and the daughter has only arrived at this time." ”

"It's good to arrive, it's good to arrive!" Mrs. Zheng glanced at Shi Niang with a smile and said to the eldest lady, "Your young lady is more beautiful than the other." ”

The eldest lady's face turned crimson: "Yes! Each of our young ladies is more beautiful than the other. ”

Shi Niang has stepped forward to salute Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng personally stepped forward and took Shi Niang's hand: "Hurry up, get up." Such a flowery little girl, don't knock anywhere. Get up! ”

Shi Niang took advantage of the situation and took Zheng Taijun's hand: "Madam, I'll take you in!" ”

"I'm afraid your mother is jealous." Zheng Taijun said teasingly.

The eldest lady smiled slightly: "The girl in our family can get the eyes of the old lady, I can't be happy, how can I be jealous!" ”

Shi Niang had covered her mouth and smiled, her dark eyes flashed and flashed, indescribably playful and cute.

"Shi Niang!" Wu Niang stepped forward from behind the eldest lady with a gloomy face, wanting to stop Shi Niang, but was pulled by Grandma Luo, "It's enough for the old lady to have Shi Niang by her side!" The fingers pinching Wu Niang turned slightly white.

Eleven Niang took two steps back and stood behind Grandma Luo.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little weird.

Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "It's not too early, let's go in early!" Lest the master be in a hurry! As he spoke, he went straight up the steps of the Hanging Flower Gate and ignored Shi Niang.

Shi Niang glanced at the eldest lady charmingly, smiled and slightly lifted the skirt, and followed Mrs. Zheng up the steps in front of the hanging flower door.

The eldest lady glanced at Wu Niang deeply.

Wu Niang's face was as dead as ashes: "Mother, not the fourth brother......"

The eldest lady's smile was a little reluctant, and she instructed Grandma Luo: "There are many people and events today, Brother Xuan is young, and he can't stand such a noise, so you should take Brother Xuan back first!" ”

Grandma Luo looked solemn, answered "yes", ignored Brother Xu's shout, "I want to play with Brother Zhen", and turned around with her son and got into the carriage: "Go back to Gongxian Hutong." ”

Looking at the carriage "deservedly" turning in front of them and heading south, the smile on the eldest lady's face returned to her amiability. She instructed Wu Niang and Eleven Niang: "Let's go in too." so as not to make people wait. ”

Both of them responded with some trepidation "yes", and followed the eldest lady into the hanging flower door.

Behind the door, there was still a green curtain car waiting for them, but Zheng Lao Taijun and Shi Niang were gone.

Someone stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old Taijun Zheng and the tenth lady of your mansion each took a fuel truck to the flower hall first. ”

The eldest lady smiled and took Wu Niang and Eleven Niang to the flower hall in the green curtain and small oil car.

******

Shi Niang did not follow Mrs. Zheng into the flower hall, but stood in the front of the flower hall with a smile and talked to a woman wearing ten kinds of red brocade makeup. When she saw the eldest lady, she smiled and said to the woman, "Mother is here!" ”

The woman turned her face sideways.

The willow eyebrows and apricot eyes are the third lady of the Xu family.

"Just getting ready to meet you. As a result, I met Miss Ten in your house. said that I didn't see you when I got out of the car, and I was looking for you in a panic......" The third lady stepped forward with a smile, "Hey, why don't you see grandma?" ”

"It's hot today, so I asked her to take Brother Yu back first." The eldest lady smiled heartily, "I miss Mrs. Lao." ”

"What a pity!" The third lady said with a smile, "Today is the class leader of the Deyin class, Zhou Dehui, who will sing in person. He looked at Shi Niang again, "Does the eldest lady want the golden house to hide Jiao?" Such a beautiful daughter won't let me see it, are you afraid that we won't be able to snatch it? ”

Shi Niang looked at the eldest lady and smiled.

The eldest lady also pursed her lips and smiled.

No one spoke, and the scene was a little weird.

The third lady's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of bewilderment.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter from the flower hall.

The third lady didn't think much about it, and took the eldest lady's arm: "Come in quickly!" You're alone! ”
