Hua Chen's heart settled slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the door curtain, and saw that the curtain was raised, and the second master and Luo led a few sisters in.

His gaze leaned back, and he saw his sister Hua Jin wearing a cloak inlaid with fox fur, and the pure white fur was wrapped around her neck, making her little red face very cute.

Behind her, followed by the most important maid Bai Peach, as well as Mrs. Tai's newly rewarded Lingxiang, Lingxiang also held a small burden in her hand, as if she was carrying something.

Entering the warm pavilion, Bai Tao immediately untied Hua Jin's cloak, and she stepped forward to follow Luo and several younger sisters to salute Mrs. Tai.

After the ceremony, Mrs. Tai looked at Hua Jin and smiled: "Look at your pair of brothers and sisters, they are really dragon and phoenix fetuses, if you don't enter the house, Brother Chen will keep staring at the door." ”

Everyone in the room echoed and joked.

Hua Jin lowered his head and smiled slightly, but he still stood firmly beside Hua Chen, and asked with a smile: "My brother just moved to the outer courtyard yesterday, and he is still used to sleeping. ”

Hua Chen didn't tell Hua Jin that he had drawn a sketch all night last night in front of so many people, but said, "Get used to it." ”

Before Hua Jin could ask anything more, he heard Luo Shi preemptively say: "It's good to get used to it, but I haven't slept all night when I'm worried." After speaking, he rubbed his eyes, which were indeed a little dark.

But overheard Mrs. Tai ask about going to school, "Brother Chen is going to study at Lutong Academy tomorrow, right?" ”

"Yes." Roche replied.

At this time, Mrs. Tai signaled, and Hang's mother presented a purse sewn with red silk.

"Our brother Chen is going to study, this is a little bit of grandmother's heart."

"Thank you, grandmother." Hua Chen knew that this was the rule, and he didn't twist it, and stepped forward to take the heavy purse from Hang's mother.

Subsequently, Mother Sun, who came with the Wang family of Changfang, also presented a purse.

In the third room, Liu took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Hua Chen, "Brother Chen is a good person." ”

Hua Chen took the two purses separately, but felt that the weight on the two hands was a little different.

He just remained silent, thanked his eldest aunt Wang and third aunt Liu, and handed over his purse to Rouxiang, who was serving.

Mrs. Tai did not shy away from opening her mouth and said: "At that time, when your eldest brother went to study, I gave one hundred taels, and it is still that standard now. ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Hua Chen thanked him again.

Since only the eldest brother is mentioned, the standards of the second brother and the third brother are not these, and it seems that the difference between the eldest brother and the third brother will still be reflected everywhere in this era.

At this time, the Liu family followed Mrs. Tai's words and preempted the Wang family: "I can't go past the old lady, just seventy taels." ”

Seventy taels?

Hua Jin unconsciously looked at the two purses, and inadvertently saw the somewhat embarrassed smile of the eldest aunt Wang.

The Liu family didn't even discuss with the Wang family how much silver to send?

If the relationship between the two rooms is good, these things must be discussed.

It seems that the third aunt really didn't take Mrs. Hou Wang in her eyes!

If you stay on this topic any longer, it will be a family turmoil.

After thinking about it, Hua Jin stepped forward and said, "Brother, sister also has prepared gifts." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was a little uneasy. She hadn't thought of taking out a gift for her brother in front of so many people, but it was the best way to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere at this time.

"My sister also has a gift?"

Hua Jin signaled, and Ling Xiang stepped forward and gave Hua Chen the burden he was holding.

Hua Chen took it and opened the corner of the baggage, revealing the azure silk cloth, could it be that he made clothes?

When the last corner of the burden slipped down, a rectangular schoolbag appeared in front of Hua Chen, with a long shoulder strap, as if he had carried a cross-body schoolbag in his previous life.

Hua Chen's smile couldn't help but overflow from the corners of his eyebrows, "Sister, I also told my three brothers on the way here just now that I just need a bookbag." ”

"Brother likes?" Hua Jin looked at his brother with a smile showing a mouthful of white teeth, and the nervous mood that had been in place just now finally relaxed, and the whole person became bright.

"Azure Hangzhou silk, embroidered with gold thread treasure gourd, long span belt, really beautiful and practical." Hua Chen rubbed his fingers against the bookbag, looking at the stitches that were very fine but not delicate, and felt that his nose and eyes were a little sour.

It's just that......

"We all know that the five girls are the least good at needlework, but they bothered for Brother Chen." Mrs. Tai said what Hua Chen wanted to say.

Hua Chen didn't turn around and handed the schoolbag to Rouxiang behind him, but hugged it in his arms as if he was holding some treasure, "Thank you, sister." "There is also a warm current in the body that is slowly spreading and flowing.

Hua Jin smiled, "It's good if my brother likes it." ”

Mrs. Tai smiled again: "Our Jin'er is really well-behaved and sensible." ”

Luo also followed and laughed, "Mother, daughter-in-law said that the girl's family is big, so she will naturally work these things." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded, "Our Jin'er has indeed grown up. But he immediately changed the topic again, "Brother Chen goes back and forth to Lutong Academy every day, and he has to be with two capable little guys around him, and then send two skilled nurses. ”

Luo stepped forward and replied, "Mother, Brother Chen originally had a powerful little guy named Huaishan by his side, and he recently went to Zhuangzi to pick another one himself. ”

Listening to Luo's words, Hua Jin frowned invisibly when he saw his brother and grandmother almost at the same time.

Mrs. Tai said: "Two is still too little, since Brother Chen likes to choose by himself, then choose two more people of the same age and virtue among the family, and it is also the face of our Zhang family to take them out every day." ”

Mrs. Tai actually supported her brother's own choice?

No wonder she saw her brother's eyebrows expanding, and Roche frowned slightly.

And the eldest lady Wang and the third lady Liu have a non-caring attitude.

Although this matter exceeded Luo's expectations, she obviously did not have the ability to go against Mrs. Tai's wishes, so she could only echo: "If Brother Chen can pick the right one, it will be the best." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded approvingly, and instructed Mother Hang, "Then I will instruct it, if there is a suitable age in the family, bring all of them over, and let Brother Chen personally pick them after lunch." ”

Hang's mother should "yes" and withdrew.

Everyone laughed for a while, and Mrs. Tai said the same as usual: "You all disperse, you don't have to accompany me, an old woman." Those who should go to Zongxue should go back to have breakfast quickly, and Brother Chen also went back to prepare for going to the academy tomorrow. ”

Everyone responded, and each room exited the main room of Chaohui Courtyard in an orderly manner.

Hua Chen deliberately let a few brothers go out of the inner courtyard first, and he slowed down and waited for Hua Jin.

Hua Jin walked forward quickly with Bai Tao and Lingxiang, "Brother, what's the matter?" ”

"Sister, it's really hard for you to make this bookbag."

Hua Jin's heart was excited, but he pretended to be angry naughtily, "My brother still told me this, is it because I can't look down on my sister's needlework?" ”
