Chapter 325: Dragon Boat Festival (Part II)

"Be a matchmaker for Sister Zhen'er?" Eleven Niang was very surprised.

"yes!" Lin Da* smiled and said, "It's a nephew of my mother's family. Sixteen years old. Although he and I are not in the same house, his grandfather also served as the deputy chief soldier of Guangxi. Not to mention the appearance of talent, he is also both civil and military. At a young age, he was already a martial artist. My eldest brother often said that our Shao family is a middle-aged generation, and it depends on him and my younger brother. ”

Lin Da*'s mother's family is in Cangzhou.

Not to mention Mrs. Tai and Xu Lingyi, it's me, thinking that Sister Zhen is going to marry far away, I'm afraid I will have reservations, right?

She laughed, "You know my situation. Sister Zhen grew up in front of Mrs. Tai, and Master Hou only has one daughter. I am afraid that this matter will have to be discussed with Lord Hou and Mrs. Tai. ”

Lin Da * milk doesn't know.

No matter how good his nephew is, he is far away in Cangzhou. If it weren't for her younger brother begging several times, and seeing people like the Zhuo family come to ask for marriage, she wouldn't have the courage to say such a thing. Thinking of this, her mind to be a matchmaker was a little light.

"When I think of your sister Zhen and our family, I feel like a pair of golden boys and girls." Lin Da*'s grandmother confessed a few words, and then stopped mentioning the matter, and changed the topic to ask about the Dragon Boat Festival of the Eleventh Mother, "...... Mrs. Tai personally sent a post to my mother-in-law, saying that it was your wedding ceremony that day, so that I would come over early that morning to be lively. ”

Mrs. Tai had long said that she would give her a grand ceremony. She doesn't really value that. But Mrs. Tai has this heart, and she feels warm in her heart when she thinks about it. It's just that Mrs. Tai has never mentioned this matter since then, and these days she often sends Du's mother to do this and that, and she has gone out to visit the door a few times, as if she is having a treat, which looks very mysterious. She shouldn't have known.

"It's the birthday of the Dragon Boat Festival." Eleven Niang smiled, "Make everyone noisy!" ”

"Fortunately, it's the Dragon Boat Festival." Lin Da*'s grandmother greeted her, "If it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's going to be a headache." ”

The custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is to play, and the custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival is to reunite. Dragon Boat Festival, it doesn't hurt for everyone to come out and walk around, if it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family reunites, and then what kind of banquet is held, it is embarrassing for others.

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded: "Thinking about it this way, there are still some benefits." ”

Lin Da* smiled with her grandmother covered her sleeves.

Mrs. Zhuo is here.

Lin Da*'s grandmother took the opportunity to leave.

Mrs. Zhuo sent some melons this time: "...... It was sent by our master's old subordinates. It's different from Yanjing's melons. I specially brought it over and asked Mrs. Tai and Mrs. to taste it. ”

Eleven Niang thanked her, chatted with Mrs. Zhuo for a while, took her to Mrs. Tai to say goodbye, and sent her out of the weeping flower gate.

When I returned to the house, I saw Amber packing up the red lacquer and gold painting box brought by Lin Da*'s grandmother.

Eleven Niang smiled: "It is said that Sister Hui made a Jinchuan fan for Sister Zhen'er." You can help Sister Hui send it over! As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Amber's hand slip, the box fell to the ground, and five fans were scattered on the ground, which was a mess.

"Madame!" Amber's face turned a little pale.

"It's okay, it's okay." Eleven Niang comforted her and stepped forward to help pick up the fan.

Gold lacquer fan bone, black silk surface, Gongbi peony chick picture, very gorgeous.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but unfold it.

The color is gorgeous and the artistic conception is charming, which surprised her.

"I didn't expect Sister Hui to have such good painting skills."

Amber on the side also praised: "It's beautiful! ”

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, admiring it with Amber while cleaning up.

A picture of a hosta on a moonlit night, a picture of a begonia spring sleep, a picture of a lotus flower reflecting the sun, and a picture of a stone orchid.

Not to mention that the painting furniture is superior, the picture of the hosta on a moonlit night is even more novel.

A bright white hosta flower blooms in full bloom, and the deep and shallow green leaves are occasionally left blank, like the light light of the moon - although there is not a ray of moonlight, it is the grand scene when the hosta flowers bloom under the moon.

Eleven Niang was amazed.

The hosta flower is white and flawless, and the fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, which is a kind of flower that everyone loves and is common. Ordinary people paint hosta flowers, and take the loveliness of their small jasper. This hosta flower blooms with the moon, but it has the nobility of narcissus. What's even more rare is that this nobility is not taken from its arrogant posture, but revealed from a flower and a stamen. Like a person, the noble temperament is hidden in the bones, which makes people feel more respectable, which is completely different from the delicate and splendid expression of the peony chicken.

The thought flashed, and Eleven Niang was stunned. Then he picked up a few fans and hurried to the east room.

Amber saw that there was a bit of panic in her demeanor, and her heart was in turmoil, and she quickly followed.

I saw that Eleven Niang opened all five fans and placed them side by side on the big bookcase, looking at them carefully with a solemn face.

"Madame!" She whispered, "But what's wrong! ”

"Nope!" Eleven Niang raised her head and looked indifferent, "I just think these fans are really beautiful, and I want to take a good look." ”

Her expression is still so kind, and her gaze is still so gentle, but for some reason, Amber, who is familiar with her, faintly feels that something is wrong. It's like a precursor to a storm, calm but depressing.

Eleven Niang gently pulled her fan: "Miss, what are you doing?" She asked, word for word.

Amber hurriedly said: "I'm embroidering with Sister Binju!" ”

"You invite the eldest lady in." Eleven Niang put the fan into the box, "Just say that I have something to look for her." And he instructed, "Nothing else." ”

Amber flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes and respectfully replied.

Eleven Niang looked at the big red gold box that was closed, and her eyes gradually became cold.

"Mother, you're looking for me!" Sister Zhen'er's crisp and cheerful voice sounded like a lark.

Eleven Niang looked up, there was no coldness in her eyes, only the gentleness of March * light.

The twelve-year-old sister Zhen was wearing a red Gebu shirt, and she was already half a head taller than Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang looked at the red gold hosta earbuds on her ears, and said with a light smile: "Sister Hui has sent you something." ”

"Really!" Her jet-black eyes sparkled like sparkling gems.

Eleven Niang smiled and pointed to the big red gold box on the bookcase.

"It's so beautiful!" Sister Zhen looked at the Jinchuan fan and smiled like a flower. "Mother." She opened one of them and leaned in front of Eleven Niang, "Look, this begonia lace step is the step back of Sister Hui's house - there is a tiger head carved at one end of the step!" ”

Eleven Niang glanced at it, but opened the fan with a smile and the hosta flower was painted: "I think this painting is the best!" ”

Sister Zhen looked sideways, and immediately opened her eyes wide: "Hosta flower!" ”

"Do you like hosta flowers very much?" Eleven Niang's eyes narrowed.

"Hmm!" Sister Zhen smiled, "I like hosta flowers the most." She looked at Eleven Niang with shining eyes, "Sister Hui doesn't like hosta flowers, she must have painted them for me." Then she took the fan in Shi Niang's hand and looked at it carefully, "It's a hosta ......flower in the moonlight," she exclaimed in a low voice, "Could it be that Sister Hui got up in the middle of the night to paint?" He smiled happily again, "She's the laziest, she has to call a maid for a little thing, and she even gets up in the middle of the night to paint......" A trace of emotion flashed in her eyes, "I want to write a letter to thank her." "Put the fan in the box.

Eleven Niang suddenly picked up the fan painted with a moonlit night hosta flower: "I also like this fan!" She smiled at Sister Zhen'er.

Sister Zhen was a little surprised, and then showed joy again: "Does my mother like it too?" Mother, take it and use it! ”

"A gentleman doesn't take ...... people love," Eleven Niang looked at Sister Zhen.

Sister Zhen pointed to the remaining four fans: "I still have so many!" ”

Eleven Niang opened the fan with a smile and fanned it gently.

Sister Zhen smiled and held the box to retreat.

Eleven Niang took the fan and said with a smile: "Just write a letter here-the sun is big outside, so you don't have to go back to Shaohua Courtyard." ”

Sister Zhen thought about it, responded with a smile, and sat down to polish the ink.

Eleven Niang called the little maid to come in and serve, and she sat on the embroidery pier on the side to watch the fan in her hand.

Sister Zhen sat in front of the bookcase, her expression was quiet and calm, she did not hesitate to put down the pen, quickly wrote the letter, and then instructed the little maid: "Send someone to the eldest lady of the Lin family in the Hou Mansion of Weibei." ”

The little maid whispered "yes", took the fine white gauze and sprinkled it on the Chengxin notepaper - the fine sand absorbs ink, and the ink can dry earlier. And don't shy away from anything.

Eleven Niang nodded secretly in her heart.

And Sister Zhen got up and saw that Eleven Niang had been holding the fan. After thinking about it, he walked over with the open red lacquer and gold box, and presented the box in front of Eleven Niang with a smile: "If mother likes it, why don't you pick a few more?" ”

Eleven Niang looked up at Sister Zhen'er.

Sister Zhen looked at her with a smile, her eyes clear and transparent.

Eleven Niang suddenly laughed and pushed away the box: "No need, this one is good!" ”

Seeing that she seemed to have suddenly relaxed, a trace of puzzlement flashed in her eyes, and she persuaded: "Mother just use it." It's a big deal, I'll ask Sister Hui to help me make a few more. ”

Eleven Niang's eyes moved slightly, and said, "Otherwise, let's go to Weibei Hou Mansion tomorrow!" Lin Da * Grandma sent us some peaches today, we might as well pick a few embroideries to give back. Stop by to see Sister Hui. ”

"Good! All right! Sister Zhen was a little excited, "I haven't seen Sister Hui for a few days!" ”

"Aren't we rowing together on March 3rd?" Eleven Niang smiled, "It's only been less than two months?" ”

Sister Zhen is slightly embarrassed.

Eleven Niang asked her in a low voice, "Do you like Sister Hui very much?" ”

"Mother, don't you like it?" Sister Zhen looked at Eleven Niang worriedly when she heard this.

"It's not." Eleven Niang smiled, "I just look like you're very happy." ”

Sister Zhen was a little embarrassed: "Sister Hui knows a lot of things...... It's not like me, who can only play the piano. ”

It means that Sister Hui is very lively and good at playing, right?

A girl with such a personality is particularly attractive to a girl like Sister Zhen who is introverted and a little shy, right?

Eleven Niang smiled and patted her hands, and said hello to Mrs. Tai in the evening, only saying that she wanted to return the gift, picked a few small embroideries, and took Sister Zhen to Weibei Hou Mansion the next day.

The Weibei Hou Mansion is like a small Yongping Hou Mansion.

Although it was the first time for Shi Niang to come, she felt very cordial and familiar.

Lin Da * Grandma listened and took Sister Hui to greet her at the door of the weeping flowers.

After saluting each other, the two adults politely exchanged a few pleasantries, but the two children held hands and whispered in whispers.

Tomorrow the conference will be held, and today I have made a day of preparations...... Let's read the draft first, and I'll catch the worm right away!
