Chapter Twenty-Six: The Four White Ladies
Although he didn't care about talking to He Lan, before going to the Bai family, and then telling Ban's family, You Can still said: "Did grandmother receive cherries here?" Just now we tasted it first at the fourth sister, and it's a pity to say it, there was a little more everywhere, but a large basket was ruined. ”
Ban asked casually: "Could it be that he scattered it on the ground?" ”
"Sprinkle it on the ground and wash it." You Can smiled, "It is said that the concubine named Cuiqiao over there coaxed the third uncle to directly carry a basket to her, and the third aunt was angry, this will take the concubine to set up rules......"
Hearing this, where did Ban still not understand what she meant by mentioning cherries? At that moment, he looked at her deeply and reproached: "Don't talk about the elders! ”
You Can pursed his lips and said, "Aren't I afraid that the third uncle will come back, and I will have a misunderstanding with the third aunt after listening to the slander?" ”
Ban said: "I have my own measure in this matter - you are not allowed to talk so much when you go to the Bai family!" Otherwise, don't go! ”
"Yes!" Hearing this, You Can hurriedly agreed, and Ban said to Zhuo Zhaojie again: "Take care of her, don't lose the face of our You family." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, my cousin is measured!" ”
When they went out here, Ban ordered Coral to guard the second gate in person, and when You Zhen came back, he called him over to see him first.
This matter is not on the table, but it is said that Zhuo Zhaojie's side, it didn't take much effort to get to the Bai family, because the Bai family and the You family are both Moling scholars, one lives in the west of the city, and the other lives in the south of the city, which is not very far away.
The Bai family has produced two prefects and three prefects in recent generations, and now there is a prefect and a prefect in the county, not in the south of the Yangtze River, one in southern Fujian, and one in the north.
Now the old lady of the Bai family is in the hall, but the grandfather of the Bai family has already passed away, and the same as the You family, the elders are in the hall, so they have not yet been separated - the two generations of the Bai family are not as prosperous as the You family, a total of three rooms, and the other two concubines are married far away, and the only concubine is the second lady of the You family, Bai.
Bai Zihua, the fourth lady of the Bai family, is the girl of the Bai family's big house, her two uncles are in office, and the family members are also in office, but she is the second daughter of the big house, and only one sister is the eldest lady of the Bai family, and she has already been married - she died in childbirth last year, and the next is a sister and two sisters, the eldest of the three sisters is only seven years old this year, so she has to pester the girls of other people's houses to accompany her when she is about to leave the cabinet - after all, her sister is too young, and she can't say anything when she accompanies her.
The preface of the Bai family is the same column for men and women, Bai Zihua has a sister and two brothers, Bai Saburo is in the second room of the Bai family, and now he is in office with his father, not at home, Bai Zihua himself is going out of the cabinet, and the one who came out to greet Bai Erlang's wife Meng Shi, that is, the cousin of Meng Xiaoniang, whom You Can does not like very much, is also the niece of Moling Taishou.
Meng is about ten years old, with a round face and plump cheeks, and she looks a little similar to You Can, she is a lively and good sex. Son, although I haven't been a little lady for several years, I have always been able to get along with the little ladies, and when I saw the two of them come in, I smiled and said: "I thought that you are not outsiders, so I came out to greet you, I don't want to see it before I know that I want to regret it, such two delicate little girls, to stand here, I look at the flowers and plants next to me are not energetic, and I myself am even more gray!" ”
Meng Shi is You Can's cousin-in-law, and the two of them will be concubines in the future, You Can said: "If the eldest cousin-in-law is dusty, everyone in the world will become colorless." He asked her with a smile, "Is the fourth cousin better now?" ”
Although Bai Zijing has changed her mind about the You family, You Can is a girl in the end, and her face is tender, so she still follows the name of her grandfather's family.
Speaking of this, Meng Shi sighed and said with a wry smile: "She is still very nervous now, no, she only drank a bowl of porridge in the past two days, and her grandmother persuaded herself to go down - that Lin Jialangjun herself has also seen it behind the screen, he is a spirited little Langjun, and our Bai family is the right person, I heard that reading is also very good, let me say that such a husband is a good match with our Siniang, but she can't eat and sleep well now, and she has lost weight when she is approaching a good day, and she can't ask anything. The old lady was very distressed! ”
Then he said to them, "It's a shame for you to come, or I'd have to go and ask for it." ”
While speaking, Meng sent someone to tell Bai Zihua, and led them to meet the old lady Lu first.
Mrs. Lu is the same age as Ban's, with a fat figure, round cheeks, and looks very kind, in the impression of You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie, she is indeed a kind and kind old lady, she has always loved her children and grandchildren, and she is also very kind to the younger generations of others, and when she saw You Can, she smiled with a slit in her eyes, and waved busily: "Canniang is coming to grandmother!" ”
Next to her, the eldest lady of the Bai family, Fu Shi, hurriedly reminded her: "The little lady of the Zhuo family is also here!" ”
- Lu Shi is getting older, his eyes are a little not good, and he was reminded by Fu Shi to smile and say: "Zhuo Xiaoniang also came to ask the old woman to take a look at you, now the old woman loves to look at the color of the little lady when she is old, and she is energetic when she looks at it." ”
You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie went up according to their words, and accompanied the Lu family to say a few words, You Can had other things in mind, and he didn't want to waste Chen Guang here with the elders, so he asked euphemistically: "I just heard from the eldest cousin that the fourth cousin has reduced his diet in the past two days?" ”
Speaking of this, both the Lu family and the Fu family were worried, and the Lu family sighed: "Isn't it?" Yesterday, I went to Yunshui Building in person, and she barely ate some porridge and side dishes, but now there are more than ten days before the wedding! Just go on like this - you don't know when you're young, this marriage is also very tiring, otherwise why do you have to persuade the little lady to nourish more when the wedding date is approaching? ”
Fu Shi also said: "Now it's not just that I can't eat, I can't sleep, I have been accompanying me in Yunshui Building for the past few days, alas! ”
"Why should grandmothers and mothers be sorrowful?" Meng Shi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, there are still fewer little ladies in our family who are the same age as the fourth sister, and it is inconvenient for the fourth sister to talk to the elders a lot, and now the cousin and Zhuo Xiaoniang are here, and they have been playing with the fourth sister since childhood, and they are just accompanying the fourth sister to talk and explain, I am afraid that the fourth sister will be fine in three or five days." ”
Both Lu and Fu said, "But I'm tired of you." ”
You Can hurriedly said: "We are also idle at home, come and talk to our cousin, we are good to each other, if my grandmother and aunt are polite, we are embarrassed to stay." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't say much because the Bai family was You Can's outside, he only pursed his lips and nodded with a light smile.
So the two sides exchanged a few words, but Bai Zihua couldn't wait, and sent the personal maid Jin Yan to urge, now she is waiting to leave the pavilion, and she is so nervous that she can't sleep and eat, the elders are naturally close to her, although it is almost the end of the meal, the Lu family does not dare to keep the meal, only said: "I will put you in Yunshui Tower, don't be surprised in a hurry today, if you have anything you like, just say it, let people do it!" ”
In this way, Mrs. Lu retired in front of the Fu family and the Meng family, and followed Jin Yan to the Yunshui Building where Bai Zihua lived, and asked Jin Yan on the road: "Why is the fourth cousin still so nervous these days?" ”
Jin Yan said quietly: "Before, You Niangzi, you and a few other little ladies came to talk with you, and they all said that Lin Jialangjun was good, and Siniang also believed it, but it was a few days, I don't want to go a few days ago, I don't know which bastard, I said in front of Siniang, I saw that it seemed to be Lin Jialangjun's person who chartered a boat prostitute on Qingcao Lake!" When Siniang heard this, she was worried again, now that the wedding date is imminent, Siniang doesn't dare to say that she will withdraw from the marriage - how can there be any unromantic in Langjun's family? It's impossible to get married for this matter, isn't this worrying about tea and dinner? ”
Because You Can had never seen Lin Hewang, he could only say: "Since it is as if, but it is not certain, why should the fourth cousin be gullible?" Will my grandmother and uncle and aunt still not love my cousin? What's more, if you want to say that you understand this Lin Jialangjun, or Wulang, Wulang and that Lin Jialangjun are classmates in Huaixing Academy, if he is a bad person, how can he be mentioned? ”
"The servants also persuaded Siniang like this, but Siniang was worried about this for a while, and now everything that can be said has been exhausted......" When I arrived downstairs in Yunshui, I heard someone above weakly calling: "Canniang!" Zhuo Xiaoniang! Before he could finish speaking, he coughed very weakly.
You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie looked up when they heard the sound, and saw a sick and weak beauty holding on to the railing, and the two maids behind them, Yinyan and Yuyan, were frightened, and Yin Yin looked down, but it seemed that they had been looking at them all the time, but their bodies were really not good, and they knew that they didn't have the strength to scream when they were far away, so they waited for You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie to go downstairs before they spoke.
This beauty is born with beautiful eyebrows and handsome eyes, and it is also the sideburns of a crow, and she casually pulls a single snail and piles it behind her head, with only two or three beaded flowers on it, and the tips of her eyebrows seem to be slightly frowning all the time, looking like she is weak and invincible.
Seeing that she was haggard and didn't know how much she was compared to half a month ago, You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie were taken aback!
The two hurriedly went up, at this time Bai Zihua had already been helped to sit down on the couch inside, and the maid was begging with a bowl of sweet soup, but Bai Zihua just shook his head, locked his eyebrows and said to the two: "I just can't eat it now!" ”
You Can stepped into the door with a flamboyant foot, and before he sat down, he answered: "If you can't eat, you should eat some!" Otherwise, Hugh said what to do on the day he went out, even now his grandmother, aunt and cousin are also worried about you! ”
"I ......" Bai Zihua opened his mouth, tears fell, and he cried, "You don't know that Lin...... Narin...... He...... He ......"
You Chan is an acute. Zi, busy said: "On the way, we heard Jin Yan say, isn't it just swimming in the lake?" There are many boats on Qingcao Lake, not necessarily prostitutes, don't believe you ask Zhaojie, she often goes there with my grandfather to fish, and she also sees a lot of boat cruises, maybe Lin Jialangjun is the same as you, and he is nervous about the approaching marriage, so he went to the lake to relax! ”
Although Zhuo Zhaojie clearly saw that Lin Hewang was on a prostitute boat that day, now he could only bite the bullet and said vaguely: "Many boats in Qingcao Lake are rented by ordinary tourists to enjoy the scenery, Sister Bai don't worry." It turned out that she was calling the fourth sister of the Bai family, but last year the aunt of the Bai family had a difficult birth, and the Bai family was extremely sad up and down, and when she heard the ranking, she remembered that there was one less person, and then several families who often came and went temporarily changed their mouths and vaguely removed the ranking, so as not to make the Bai family uncomfortable, and then the Bai family eased up, but Zhuo Zhaojie was a little smooth.
Bai Zihua barely stopped crying after listening to the words of the two of them, and said worriedly: "Then the Lin family is not in Moling, but I am worried that I will get there, if ...... If he ...... He doesn't like me, what should I do? ”
"You are the wife of the three media and six who have been married, even if he doesn't like you, what can he do to you?" You Can was really a little speechless about her future sister-in-law, she simply said bluntly, "The Lin family is also a Zhencheng family, a scholarly family, so the Lin family Langjun himself also wants to study and learn from it!" He dares to spoil his concubine and kill his wife? Fourth cousin, you really think too much! ”
Bai Zihua was crying again when she said this, and choked up: "I...... I don't have you like you to be able to speak, people are also stupid, ordinary reading, until now I only know a few words, on female popularity, even your four mothers can't compare! I heard that the Lin family Langjun is a talented and beautiful person, not only is he handsome, but I also saw this myself, and I also read books well...... Why does such a person take a fancy to me? ”
