Zhuo Zhaojie completely recovered on the fourth day after falling ill, and in the two days she was asleep, almost all the people who should have visited had come, even Shi Weining and Chun Yupei sent things, and even Shi Weining came in person.

The building near the water is the first month, of course, the elders and peers in his family are thanked first, and now the father 'daughter' and mother 'daughter' are not as affectionate as before, Zhuo Zhaojie instinctively didn't want to go to the Ci Tang, so he sent Ah Xing over to talk to You's, after You heard it, he sighed and said: "You tell Qi Niang to go, take the gift from the library, if you can't eat what to go back, come and ask me again." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie listened to Ah Xing's return and relay, mentioned the return gift, frowned, and went to the You family in person, asked about the preferences and taboos of each room, checked the return gifts selected before one by one, picked and changed, and then settled.

The big house lives in the courtyard where the eldest son of the Zhuo family habitually lives, the location is the best, the place is the largest, and the vermilion lacquer 'door' at the entrance of the 'door' and a pair of stone lions are enough to directly act as the 'door' household outside.

After entering the "door", when the first wall of white "jade" relief blessing such as the wall of the East China Sea, a "wave" and "flower" rolled to the edge of the sky, faintly "exposed" out of the scene of the fairy spirit mountain, turned the wall is a wide square, both sides have set up a corridor, for the rain and snow days to come and go conveniently, the field is paved with green bricks, the brick joint is now giving birth to the blue "color" forest, near to see the grass without a plant, in the middle of the south of the place to hit the stone high of the ground, a pot of landscape bonsai is placed on a few feet, the rockery two feet high is full of lily moss, There are also many pines that are no more than palm-high, but under the rockery, in the basin is injected with water of various feet of width and length as a lake, and this small lake also pinched a fishing urn made of mud, and there is no wind in the lake, but there are also swimming fish.

There is a person-high vat in the inconspicuous places at the four corners of the square, and the new lotus in the tank is quietly probed.

Zhuo Zhaojie followed the maid of the big house to step into the corridor, halfway through, suddenly heard the chirping overhead, she looked up, but saw a bird's nest on the beam on the corridor, the sound was coming out of it, and it made people's hearts soft for no reason.

Her steps were so slow that the 'woman' looked back and smiled: "The lady doesn't know, this nest of swallows came several years ago, the lady is kind, afraid of disturbing them, this whole corridor repair is to wait for the autumn and winter they are gone before the construction is allowed, to this beam, the lady has to personally supervise the craftsmen every time, don't break their nest 'hole'!" ”

"The eldest aunt is generous, but this nest of swallows can pick a place." Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile.

The 'girl' pursed her lips and smiled: "That's what the lady said." ”

After a few months of "hole" and "door", the place where Zhuo Fangchun and Zhou's live in the big house is called "Myanmar Hui Courtyard", the so-called "who says an inch of grass heart, and reports three 'spring' Hui", plus the Nian Ci Hall on the fourth room, it is all to miss the Liang family, which shows Zhuo Fangchun and Zhuo Fangli's resentment against Minpinghou and Shen.

When Zhuo Zhaojie entered, the Zhou family was leading Zhuo Jiangniang and Zhuo 'Yu' Niang to speak, and when they saw her coming, they all smiled and said, "How are you?" ”

"I feel all right now, come over and thank Aunt Xie and the two sisters." Zhuo Zhaojie saluted, and said with a smile, "The eldest aunt looks more 'spirited'. ”

Zhou's life has actually been bad, although she is the wife of the family, but Zhuo Fang Chunyuan's identity as a son-in-law should be set up as a son-in-law, but he does not have a son-in-law, although this is not all because Minpinghou has not established a son so far, in the end it is also a reason that is often sighed, and this heavy pressure is of course pressed on Zhou.

And the heirs of the big house are too thin, one grandson, two concubines, three 'girl' children have grown up like 'flowers', and a total of two concubines actually died young, and now the only Zhuo Zhiyi who has survived until now is the hard work of the Zhou family, but he is naturally 'nature' cowardly, and he is not as lively and generous as Zhuo Jiang Niang and Zhuo 'Yu' Niang, and there is nothing to get married to now, the heirs of the big house are like this, and there is no need for the Shen family to provoke, Min Pinghou is also very disappointed in his heart.

So Zhou didn't pay attention to it at all when she heard this, there was a faint tiredness between her gentle eyebrows, and she said with a smile: "Who sees that you are not 'spirited'?" He hated her again, "Since you are good, why are you so busy running over to return the salute?" It's all a family, who can't wait for you to return the gift? It's time to raise a good child. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and said: "It's just an ordinary little illness, do you see that my aunt is the same as usual now?" If it weren't all right, I wouldn't dare to go out, lest I bring illness to others. ”

"That's what we think you're over." Zhuo Jiangniang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the fan seemed to flutter lightly twice, she smiled and looked down at the tea bowl, and whispered softly, "Mother is still talking to us about you, seventh sister!" ”

Zhuo 'Yu' Niang looked at Zhuo Zhaojie with wide eyes, and her expression was very dissatisfied.

Zhuo Zhaojie said strangely: "What's wrong with the sixth sister?" ”

"What did I say to you before?" Zhuo 'Yu' asked with a straight face.

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he remembered that he had promised Zhuo 'Yu' Niang that he would bring her peach 'flower' cake when he came back from Ruan's house - but that day I heard that You Xuan was in trouble, how could she remember this? And things have passed for so many days, even if I remember to bring it, I didn't send it, and the cake was already broken, but this matter was promised by her personally, and Zhuo 'Yu' Niang also promised to give her two palace silks with her own hands......

She apologized with a flushed face: "Sixth sister, I'm sorry, I heard my eldest aunt say that something happened to my cousin that day, and I was in a hurry to come back and ask my mother, but I forgot." ”

Zhuo 'Yu'' mother's mouth was flattened, and she was extremely aggrieved: "You obviously promised to do well!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said embarrassedly: "It's me who is wrong." ”

"I've been looking forward to it at home for days." Zhuo 'Yu' Niang's eyes were almost red, and the full disappointment was about to drip down.

Zhuo Zhaojie became more and more embarrassed when he saw this, and said, "I...... Well, will I bring it to you next time? ”

Zhuo 'Yu' was so angry that she directly reddened her eyes: "I told you that the peach 'flower' cake is a seasonal pastry, and you can only eat it for a few days in the 'spring' day, and you can't eat it in the twilight 'spring', next time you ...... When will you go to your aunt's next time? ”

Seeing that Zhuo Zhaojie was untenable by her question, Zhou scolded lightly: "You kid, you are greedy, but you are angry with your sister!" Don't we have enough pastries at home? Your sister is thinking about her cousin, that's a serious matter, are you embarrassed to blame her? ”

Zhuo 'Yu' said aggrievedly: "Mother, those pastries at home are not as good as the peach 'flower' cakes in the eldest aunt's!" She choked up with red eyes, "I don't have many opportunities to go to Ruan's house, I can barely go once a year, and I can eat so many times...... Last time, my grandmother had the opportunity to speak! I thought that Qi Niang would go over often, and she also agreed, I exchanged Gong Qian with her, but she ......"

Zhuo Zhaojie was embarrassed and said, "I'll go over and ask my aunt in a while!" I will definitely 'get' a share for the sixth sister today! ”

Zhou Shi hurriedly said: "Don't pay attention to her, you are good, don't run 'waves' and get tired!" ”

Zhuo 'Yu' Niang looked at her with blank eyes: "You go by carriage, Tongshanfang and Jingshanfang are not very far away......"

"Liuniang!" Zhou was annoyed.

Zhuo 'Yu' didn't dare to speak anymore, but she frequently gave Zhuo Zhaojie a look, which shows how much she likes the Ruan family's peach 'flower' cake.

Urged by Zhuo 'Yu' Niang's left and right eyes, Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly greeted a few words, and then excused himself to go to the second room to say goodbye - after she left, Zhou frowned and said Zhuo 'Yu' Niang: "Although you love to eat that pastry, but the little lady's family should also be more reserved, isn't it a joke that you can't wait to spread it out like this?" ”

Zhuo 'Jade' Niang's goal was achieved, which would be very happy, and she smiled and coquettishly said: "Mother! Qi Niang is not an outsider, her own sister, what can she say? Besides, she promised me! ”

Zhou sighed and said: "You are about to get married, the 'woman' appearance, the woman's virtue, the woman's practice of the 'woman' merit, you should pick it up, don't mess around." ”

Zhuo 'Yu' Niang will be full of promises, Zhou said a few more words, someone came in to tell the matter, Zhuo Jiang Niang saw this, so she pressed her head and said: "Mother, I am a little tired, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you to listen to things today." ”

Zhou nodded and said with concern: "Do you want to ask for a doctor?" ”

"But it doesn't have to." Zhuo Jiangniang smiled, "I'll go back and lie down, Xu is just standing in the courtyard and being sunburned." ”

"Then Liuniang will accompany Siniang back to the room." Zhou's Road.

Zhuo Jiangniang and Zhuo 'Yu' Niang's yard are just next to each other, Zhuo 'Yu' Niang accompanied Zhuo Jiang Niang to go back to the courtyard where Zhuo Jiang Niang lived, so that the 'women' were busy laying out the couch, Zhuo 'Yu' Niang asked a few more words, compared her forehead, and said: "I think Qi Niang is a 'spirit' very good, you can't really be sick by her, right?" That's not that fast either...... Is it really sunburned? If you feel uncomfortable, it is better to ask a doctor to come, although the juice of the 'medicine' is bitter, but the body is important. ”

When she was chirping like this, Zhuo Jiangniang frowned and looked at her, and suddenly said, "You all go down, I have something to say to Liuniang." ”

Zhuo 'Yu' Niangqi said: "What's the matter? ”

"Speaking of which we are both surnamed Zhuo, the two of us are still sisters, and we are in the big house, but the number of times the eldest aunt can go there is so little, it is not easy for you to eat some pastries from the eldest aunt's house, but Qi Niang is ......" Zhuo Jiangniang looked at her deeply and said, "This is too unfair!" ”

Zhuo 'Yu' Niang's face changed, she was silent for a moment, and said, "It's not fair, but what can this be?" Who called us not 'daughters'? The eldest aunt is a concubine, I heard that when the eldest sister was still in Chang'an, she also went to the Ruan family in three days, anyway, she is just an aunt, and our grandmother treats us very well. ”

Zhuo Jiangniang said slowly: "We didn't reincarnate well, but it's not that there is no chance." ”

"Huh?" Zhuo 'Yu' looked at her suspiciously.

Zhuo Jiangniang stared at the top of the tent and said: "Isn't marrying a 'girl' another reincarnation?" ”

This is exactly what Zhuo 'Yu' Niang has a headache now, she is a typical high or low - she is now sixteen years old, and Chang'an's noble 'women' are generally eighteen. He left the cabinet at the age of nine, but he will be officially married after the marriage, even if he is not married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, there should always be a few people in mind.

But Zhou's discretion came and went, but he really didn't pick the right person.

Zhuo 'jade' Niang and Zhuo Jiang Niang although different mothers, but the same is the concubine, the same Zhou this mother raised up, the biological mother of the two people has also been sold, is the relationship has always been good, in front of Zhuo Jiang Niang, Zhuo 'jade' Niang did not shy away from it, said: "'door' lintel is higher or quite a family sister-in-law thinks I am out of the house, and there is no 'color' brother in our big house, the concubine, not the promising I don't look down, there is a promising, I'm afraid I have to work hard to pick an in-law who can be a helper, the 'door' lintel is lower...... I'm not very reconciled either. ”

Zhuo Jiangniang said lightly: "With your talent, it's a pity to marry low." Her voice suddenly lowered, "But now this good candidate, why don't you hurry up?" ”

"Who?" Zhuo 'Yu' Niang was stunned for a moment and said.

"Cousin Ruan." Zhuo Jiangniang looked at her, and said in a voice like ice and jade, "Isn't he an excellent candidate?" And grandmothers are in favor too! ”
