Chapter 279: Visiting the Garden (Part II)

Sister Fang laughed in a low voice: "Sister Hui doesn't say it, I know it." It must be someone from the Shao family who wants to bring someone from the Lin family back......"

"What nonsense?" Sister Hui went to pick up Sister Fang, "It's for my fifth aunt......"

Sister Fang clapped her hands when she heard this: "Isn't this just asking!" Then he forced Sister Zhen'er, "You say, it's time for you to speak." ”

Sister Hui pulled Sister Fang'er's arm: "Sister Zhen, don't tell her." Let her guess. ”

Sister Fang'er's eyes rolled: "If you don't tell me, you won't tell me." I'll ask the fourth lady to go! As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.

Sister Zhen was slightly unnatural.

Sister Hui saw it clearly, and thought that Sister Zhen was a concubine...... pulled Sister Fang and said with a smile: "I always like to play tricks like this." If this is the case, I won't play with you anymore! Winking at her.

Sister Fang immediately understood. Laughing and quipped to himself, "I just like to bluff people." Where do you dare to sue? He didn't have anything to say for a while, and asked Sister Hui's aunt Lin Mingyuan, "Your fifth aunt should be able to marry this time!" ”

Sister Hui didn't want to say it, but if she didn't say this, she would inevitably ask Sister Zhen.

"I don't know." She thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, she's not satisfied with this, and that one doesn't please the eye." However, this time my grandmother said that this matter is not for the fifth aunt. Whether she wants to or not, she must finalize the marriage this year anyway. ”

Sister Fang was bored, and sighed with her elbows on the chaise longue in the warm pavilion: "It's always not fun to get married!" ”

For a while, the three of them looked a little dazed.

Outside there was the chirping of birds.

Sister Zhen came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Let's go to the lake and sit!" so as not to leave Sister Xian there alone. ”

The two nodded.

Between the eyebrows, there was no joy before coming, and he went to the lake with a shallow smile.

Sister Xian sat there looking at the floats on the water, and saw them beckoning: "I've caught seven or eight fish." ”

When the three of them looked over, the fish were jumping around in the bamboo basket.

"The fish here are used to being raised." Sister Fang sat down in front of her fishing rod: "As long as you put the bait, bite the spoon." Catch seven or eight fish, you see me! "A look of eagerness.

Sister Hui only sat there looking at the twelve mothers and Miss Li who were rowing on the lake and was silent, and the mother of the Xu family reminded her that the fish was fishing, but she said idly: "It's just to pass the time, and it's not in a hurry to catch it or not." ”

The mother saw that she looked like a scholarly person, for fear that she would lose her bottom, so she kept her mouth shut about fishing, and only helped to pretend to be bait.

Sister Zhen, who was sitting next to her, felt that she looked worried, and said in a low voice: "Do you want to go to the warm pavilion to rest?" ”

Sister Hui looked at Sister Fang, who was happily pulling the rod next to her, and shook her head slightly: "Don't provoke her again." He sighed softly, "I wanted to talk to you!" ”

Sister Zhen listened and moved the Taishi chair, asked the attendants around her to take a few steps back, and said softly: "It's the same for us to be quieter." ”

Sister Hui bit her lip: "My mother wants to marry me to Cangzhou!" ”

Sister Zhen was taken aback: "How can this be?" ”

Sister Hui was very frustrated: "My mother said that I had a stubborn temperament, and I married Cangzhou with the reputation of the Weibei Hou Mansion, and my grandfather and uncle helped take care of me, so their family must be respectful to me and dare not be sloppy......"

"Is it already settled?" Sister Zhen'er's eyes darkened slightly.

"Eight or nine out of ten!" Sister Hui hung her head dejectedly, "Yesterday I saw my father write my eight characters in red and gold...... The mother also urged the grandmother to let the fifth aunt get married soon. She let out a long sigh, "I don't want to marry Cangzhou." I don't know anyone. It's cold there again. There is no Mapozi's crisp cake, there is no Duobaoge, Jinshi Zhai......" The voice was very stunned.

Sister Zhen was silent.

Sister Fang suddenly jumped out: "What did you two say, you are so happy to say it!" ”

Sister Hui looked at her heartlessness, glanced at her, and said, "When will you get married?" ”

Sister Fang laughed when she heard this: "It's really three hundred taels of silver here." ”

Sister Hui knew that these words couldn't stop her, so she simply changed the topic: "On the ninth day of the first month of March, you come to my house to play!" I have a spring banquet at home. ”

"What's so fun in your house!" Sister Fang disagreed, "Your uncles are afraid that your grandfather will only give the family wealth to your father, so they will stay at home." It's so crowded that there's no place to stand......"

Sister Hui glared at Sister Fang: "Are you going?" ”

Sister Zhen knows Sister Hui'er's thoughts a little.

If you really marry Cangzhou, you can live in Yanjing for a day.

Busy said: "Everyone naturally wants to go!" ”

Sister Fang was just joking, but now that she has a straight face, she faintly feels that Sister Hui'er's emotions are a little wrong, and said with a smile: "Of course I want to go, of course I want to go." Otherwise, wouldn't you play with me! Saying that, he quipped, "However, I can go, I want to call the fish lips of Chunxi Lou." Otherwise, I still don't go. ”

Sister Hui was a little sad, but when she heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "I'm just thinking about eating." ”

Sister Fang was not annoyed, and turned her head to ask Sister Xian: "Sister Hui has a spring banquet on the ninth day of the first month, do you want to go?" ”

"Sister Hui'er, give me a post then!" Sister Xian is also generous.

"Next post? What's next? ”

A few people turned their heads.

I don't know when, Miss Li and Twelve Niang have already gone ashore.

Sister Fang pursed her lips and turned to go fishing.

Sister Zhen is not easy to answer.

Sister Hui thought about the phrase "meeting is fate", and said with a smile: "I set up a spring banquet on the ninth day of the first month. The girl of the Li family and the twelfth aunt also came to the house to join in the fun! ”

Miss Li nodded her head again and again, and Twelve Niang smiled, but did not answer clearly.

Here, Aunt Wen saw that it was not too early, and invited a few young ladies to the flower hall for dinner.

Everyone smiled and was served by their respective maids on the corridor, out of the back garden, and to the flower hall.

At this moment, it is dusk, and the red lanterns on the eaves have been lit, shining on the bluestone floor tiles, red and full of joy.

Eleven Niang was standing on the steps at the door of the flower hall and talking to the mother in charge. A ginkgo hairpin was inserted on his head. Different from the general style only in the hairpin head to hit a ginkgo flower, but a small ginkgo blossom gradually droops, overlapping, clustered together, into a wine cup size of ginkgo biloba, trembling between gestures, like the wind Buddha over the flower, very beautiful.

"Mrs. Xu is very good at dressing up." Sister Xian looked at it and sighed.

Sister Fang's suppressed curiosity rekindled.

She pulled Sister Zhen aside: "I promise not to say it - what happened when you went to ask for peace and saw the fourth aunt of the Xu family?" ”

The title changed from Mrs. Xu to the fourth aunt of the Xu family.

Sister Zhen couldn't be pestered by her, and said in a low voice: "I once went to say hello, and my mother was clearing the cage." I took out some old clothes from the past and gave them a reward. Among them, there is a dark coarse cloth placket jacket, and twenty-six pairs of colorful bat buttons slip down, looking at it from a distance, like colorful flowers, I don't know how beautiful it is. ”

"Oops, make buttons with multicolored bats!" Sister Fang has already whispered, "I really want to come out!" ”

They talked, and a group of little girls over there quieted down and listened.

"Not really." Sister Zhen smiled, "I don't know how much effort it takes." I felt that it was a pity to give the maid a reward, so I asked my mother for it. But her mother said that the bat was not tied when she practiced tying the tie, and it was used to make a button. If I like it, make me another one. ”

Twelve Niang lowered her head.

She knew the jacket.

The dark coarse cloth was used to wrap silk and satin when sending spring clothes in the shop, and was finally asked by Eleven Niang to make a small jacket to wear. Binju also complained, saying that the little jacket was transparent and beautiful, and the lining of the jacket was dyed......

Sister Fang was very interested: "Really, really! I'll show me that little jacket later. I did the same. ”

Sister Zhen pursed her lips and smiled.

Sister Fang hastily ate a few bites and then took Sister Zhen to her house, and mysteriously turned back to the flower hall.

The next day, I got up early in the morning and urged Mrs. Zhou to go to Xu's house to listen to the play. Confused Mrs. Zhou: "The play will not start until lunch." ”

Sister Fang'er rolled her eyes: "Didn't you say that you brought your daughters to the house as guests, it's really boring?" We went earlier so that we wouldn't run into those people. You can also lift up Mrs. Yongping Hou. Why not kill two birds with one stone? ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled when she heard this: "You are looking at the Hui girl there, and you want to make trouble with her in the Heavenly Palace!" ”

"How so?" Sister Fang is serious, "Sister Zhen is very gentle and shy, we are embarrassed to mess with her." ”

The eldest son of the emperor is going to choose a concubine, and everyone has eight immortals across the sea to show their magical powers. Mrs. Zhou was also afraid of those who came to her door. I had planned to go to Xu's Mansion earlier, but just in accordance with my daughter's wishes, the mother and daughter rushed ahead of Mrs. Huang and became the first guests to arrive.

Eleven Niang didn't accompany Mrs. Zhou: "...... Today, the fifth sister's child washes three. I only had a drink with my sister at night. ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled: "This is what you said, you will accompany me for a drink when the time comes." ”

Jinhua wine has a low degree, and Shi Niang has tried it before, and she has a slight count of her own wine.

"As long as my sister doesn't dislike it."

The two talked and laughed and went to Mrs. Tai.

Sister Fang'er's eyes have been revolving around Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang doesn't know why.

came out of Mrs. Tai's house and asked her with a smile, "Sister Fang, what do you have to say to me?" ”

"No, no!" Sister Fang denied it repeatedly, and when the words came out, she felt a little childish, and said with a smile, "It's just to look at the clothes of the fourth aunt." ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Sister Fang is also dressed beautifully!" ”

Sister Fang is wearing a plum-red gown full of gold today, but for some reason, her clothes look a little bloated.

Eleven Niang is naturally not easy to say.

Sister Fang had already stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Fourth aunt, I see that the ginkgo hairpin you wore yesterday is also beautiful." I don't know which master hit it? ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

She and Sister Fang have only met for the second time, but Sister Fang is very friendly to her. Seeing Mrs. Zhou on the side, she didn't make a sound. Thinking that he had been instructed by Mrs. Zhou, he replied with a smile: "Please ask Lao Jixiang to call a master surnamed Huang." His craft is not bad. ”

Sister Fang frowned slightly.

She knows the master who can hang up the card of Lao Jixiang, but she has never heard of anyone surnamed Huang.

Mrs. Zhou was secretly surprised.

There are still three princesses in the Zhou family. The gentlemen are gentle, but the ladies are a little high-spirited. Her daughter, who is the most liked by Princess Fucheng, is smart, but her actions are somewhat dustless. Why did you suddenly become so intimate with Eleven Niang?

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Huang and Grandma Huang San came.

Eleven Niang smiled and asked Sister Fang if she wanted to go to Sister Zhen to sit down first.

Sister Fang knew that she was going to entertain guests, so she nodded with a smile and said, "Fourth aunt, you are busy with you." I know the way. Just send my sister to take me. ”

Eleven Niang asked Amber to take Sister Fang to Sister Zhen'er.

Sister Fang took a long breath, took off her gown, and revealed the coarse cloth jacket of the colorful bat bat inside: "I called my aunt from the Shanggong Bureau to help make an identical one." ”

Sister Zhen hurriedly helped her take off her little jacket: "If it's not my mother's, it's okay for me to give it to you." ”

She was taller than Eleven Niang at the time, and she couldn't wear it. It's Sister Fang who is dressed just right.

The two of them were putting away their little jackets, and Sister Hui came.
