Chapter 8 Little Lady Meng

There are still two years before returning to Chang'an, but the brother Zhuo Zhaocui is coming at the end of the month, and the You family thinks that they should be happy...... Are you happy or unhappy...... It stands to reason that relatives who haven't seen each other for many years are always looking forward to it, but ......

Zhuo Zhaojie grew up in You's family, since she can remember, the You family has treated her very well, although she gradually understood this kind of good when she grew up, although she has a love for You Ji and Wu, but it is also partly because she is the granddaughter of the Zhuo family, at least she has never liked anyone...... has always been someone else who coaxes her to be happy......

But the Zhuo family's letters have always been only to Ban's, and they have never written a letter to her alone...... And those letters, although Ban always showed them to her, never saw the letters ask herself.

Are you worried that you haven't made it to the end yet, or are you ...... Don't care?

You Shuo is the eldest son of You Feiyan! I'm just one of my parents' daughters.

Besides, the so-called people go to tea and cool, I have been raised in the You family all these years, and I have never met my biological parents, this brother grew up in the Minping Hou Mansion, and I think he is also a person who is coaxed by the people...... This strange sister of his own, will he be close to and like it?

Zhuo Zhaojie returned to the courtyard with a heavy heart, and saw You Can coming out of the cloister with clogs, stepping on it all the way, pouting and complaining: "Grandmother is so eccentric!" Every time something happens, I always leave you to advise, but I am not allowed to listen! ”

"That's because the Zhuo family is troublesome, and my grandmother is afraid that I will not be suitable for going back in the future, so she will mention me from time to time, so as not to make jokes in the future and not know it." Zhuo Zhaojie sighed, glanced at her and said, "Cousin, you are different, you grew up in your own family, the Bai family is also very familiar, they are not outsiders, and grandmother is not worried about cousin." ”

You Can didn't notice that she was frowning, and said angrily: "This can't coax me, anyway, grandmother is partial to you - alas, this can't be helped, grandmother has five granddaughters, but only one of her aunt's biological daughters, for you, the only granddaughter who grew up by her side, is not comparable to those of us who are granddaughters." ”

He had to inch in and said, "You have taken the favor of us granddaughters here, but how can you make amends with me?" Although there is some laughter, the tone is sour.

Zhuo Zhaojie blinked: "Cousin, I'm sorry!" ”

You Can waited for a while, and when he saw that she didn't say anything more, he asked, "Is this an atonement?" ”

"This is not to make amends, do you want me to kneel three times and bow nine times?" Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and asked, "What's the matter with my cousin coming over?" ”

"You!" You Can shook his head, pretending to complain, "Zhaojie is becoming more and more uncute!" In the past, when you were a child, you used to tell your cousin everything, but now I don't go to live in the Bai family for a few days, and you won't tell me when you come back! And ask me what is the matter...... Can't I come and see you if I'm fine? ”

"I think my cousin went to Bai's house for a few days and came back more cute." Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and said, "Now that she is more and more skillful and cute, when someone in the Bai family sees it, she may think that the most lovely person in the world is my cousin!" ”

The person she said was naturally Bai Zijing, who had been married to You Can since childhood.

You Can's face turned red, and he was about to come over and pinch her face, and said angrily: "Call you nonsense!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie dodged out of the way and argued: "I didn't say which Lang Jun, maybe it's Sister Bai?" Why does my cousin blush and pinch me? ”

"Phew! Do you and I don't know your bad heart? You Can chased her into the house, ran all the way to the inner room before grabbing her, her cheeks were already crimson, and she twisted Zhuo Zhaojie to ask her to apologize.

Zhuo Zhaojie naturally refused: "My cousin has a weak heart!" ”

"What is my heart empty? I was originally going to accompany Fourth Sister Bai! You Can swept away the sideburns, and sat down beside her, she also noticed that Zhuo Zhaojie's interest didn't seem to be very high, so she didn't care about the apology, and said, "I'll be serious with you, isn't the fourth sister of the Bai family out of the pavilion next month, she is a little heavy now, and invited us to go over a few days earlier to accompany her, a few days ago she specially told you to go too, what do you think?" ”

"At that time, my brother thought that he would also arrive, leaving him here alone......" Before Zhuo Zhaojie finished speaking, You Can had already pulled her arm and shook it: "Oh, don't stay at home, isn't the cousin of the Zhuo family the grandson of our You family?" Grandmother loves you like this, and it's the first time your cousin has seen them, so will she be wronged and snub him? There are all kinds of people in this house, and I'm afraid that no one will greet him? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said lazily: "I didn't say I wouldn't go!" It's just that how early did you say a few days earlier, how early was it? Why don't you wait for my brother to arrive? ”

"The cousin of the Zhuo family will arrive at the end of the month, and when he arrives, we will go to the Bai family!" You Can nodded with satisfaction, thought about it and advised, "Don't dress too brightly when you go!" ”

"Huh?" Zhuo Zhaojie gave her a strange look.

You Can said seriously: "The fourth sister of the Bai family is now terrified, and no one can be separated from her for half a moment, and she is impatient and wordy, so the girls of several relatives have promised to accompany her when the time comes, the problem is that although she is also a beauty, she is always sick, like you and the little lady of the Meng family, wear some bright clothes, and stand beside her, don't take away her new bride's demeanor at that time, carefully Bai Fourth Sister will complain about you for a lifetime!" ”

"But since I'm accompanying her out of the pavilion, can I still wear plain colors?" Zhuo Zhaojie chirped, "I also said that I and the little lady of the Meng family, where is the grenade skirt you wore last time with pomegranate red embroidered flowers and butterflies?" ”

"I'm not as good as you and the little lady of the Meng family." When You Can heard this, he subconsciously touched his face, and said with a hint of regret, "But I don't like the little lady of the Meng family, although she is the cousin of the second cousin-in-law, she can't be compared with the second cousin-in-law at all, she is too arrogant, and the Meng family is just like that. ”

She has a round face and long eyelashes, bright eyes and bright teeth, and is more cute than beautiful, while Zhuo Zhaojie is a typical beauty embryo with green sideburns and a red face, and her look is like a spring flower.

Looking at her angry appearance, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but wonder: "Meng Xiaoniang is such a person? How do I not feel? ”

"You are the daughter of Houmen, what is the Marquis of Minping and the previous Moling Taishou?" You Can pouted and said, "Here in Moling, she won't look down on others and won't look down on you!" Don't you think that every time you meet her, she always likes to play with you? What do you think is the reason? It's just that I think that the little lady here in Moling is the most worthy of playing with her. ”

Reminded by her, Zhuo Zhaojie seriously recalled that Meng Xiaoniang, who was indeed not very close to others except herself, couldn't help but smile dumbly: "I also said that she likes my temperament very much." ”

"I'm much better than you in terms of temperament." You Can pouted.

After the two chatted like this, Zhuo Zhaojie temporarily put aside the worry of returning to the Zhuo family.

In the afternoon, the two went together to greet Ban, and when Ban saw them, he said, "Sanniang will take your cousin to your room for dinner today, and don't come over until noon tomorrow." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned, and You Can wondered: "Why?" ”

"I have something here, what's the matter, your cousin can't go to your room for a meal?" Ban was angry and funny, nodded her eyebrows, and shouted, "Aren't you playing together?" ”

You Can hurriedly said, "Grandmother, where do I mean this?" Where is there so stingy? It's just strange that now that the second sister is gone, there is something wrong with my grandmother? "Although almost all of Zhuo Zhao's meals are in Duanyi Garden, it is not impossible to put them in Binwei Courtyard.

"Your second sister is gone, and the people of the Jiang family haven't arrived yet!" Ban Shi saw that she had to ask what was going on, but in the end he was still a little bit of a mouthful, "Liyang City's letter was sent yesterday, I think Liyang is not closer than Zhencheng, hurry up over there, there is always a night on the road, and I should arrive today...... Didn't you think that you have always played together, so as not to have a boring meal alone in Zhaojie? ”

After listening to Ban's explanation, You Can was satisfied and pulled Zhuo Zhaojie away.

Zhuo Zhaojie talked and played with You Can in the second room on this day, and when it was time for dinner, You Lin, who was inspecting the shop, also came back, taking the eldest son of the second room, You Ju, because he was the nephew of the in-law, Zhuo Zhaojie had nothing to avoid, and was greeted by You Lin and had a meal together, after the meal, You Can was saying that he would talk to Zhuo Zhaojie and then send her back to Binwei Courtyard, but You Lin stopped them and said: "Don't go to Duanyi Garden tomorrow to disturb." ”

You Can was surprised: "Grandmother only said that we didn't go over before noon?" ”

"The Jiang family is late, and they arrived very formally, they just handed over the post, and they will officially come to the door tomorrow, this time I'm afraid that it won't be able to solve the matter in a few words, so don't go over to get in the way." There is a trace of worry between You Lin's eyebrows, although the You family is a Moling Wang family, because You Ruoheng has been a Hanlin family, and now it is recognized as a scholarly family, but the Jiang family is also a big family with the surname of Liyang, there are several Beijing officials in the clan, the eldest lady Jiang was very favored by her parents when she was in the boudoir, and she was married to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hanlin family, she has been in charge of housework for You Fei for many years, has children, and takes care of the huge You family in an orderly manner - so that no one can say a word about the eldest daughter-in-law, but she was cursed by the concubine- Although not everyone believes that Jiang's death is caused by disgust with victory, but such a thing happened to the daughter of whom's family, but there is still someone in the mother's family, who always comes to the door to ask for an explanation.

Not to mention that the Jiang family is not the only daughter of the Jiang family, if you don't ask the You family to give an explanation, how can the other daughters of the Jiang family not be looked down upon by their husbands?

You Lin's headache is that although Jiang's parents have died, but her brother has always been difficult to mess with, when You Fei lost his official position, he left the Jiang family at home with him, and took Mei Ji Jiao Concubine to be merry and happy in office, so that the Jiang family couldn't see it.

The Jiang family deliberately vaguely picked out this matter with the You family, as a warning, You Ruoheng is not without a reason in Beijing, and the in-laws Zhuo family is not weak, not powerless to compete with the Jiang family, but he is an old-fashioned person, and he feels that You Hail really can't stand the Jiang family, but instead scolded You Hail and didn't care about it - Later, the Jiang family came to the door to make a vague reparation, but in the end he didn't ask You Hail to come out again, it can be seen that this family is the master who refuses to suffer.

You Lin's personality is a bit like You Ruoheng, he is honest in his heart, and he is more afraid of things than You Ruoheng's admission of death.

But the second lady glared at him and said, "This is said as if our children are unsightly!" ”

Turning his head, he said to You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie, "Don't pay attention to this, what do you mean by not showing your face in the past?" Just don't disturb the elders to discuss things with the people of the Jiang family, this is our family, when and where are the people of our family happy, and what is the matter of the Jiang family? ”

You Lin said in a dull voice: "The two of them have always been naughty, don't rush into people, it's getting harder and harder to speak!" ”

"You're afraid of this, that!" The second lady hates iron and steel, "Don't say that they are at this age, and they are a girl's family, who can they collide with?" It's a collision, so don't the Jiang family have to worry about the two children? Besides, if they really talk about this, it can be seen that they are deliberately trying to provoke trouble, that is, the two children also have to find an excuse - Ming'er wants to say this thing is also the father and mother who said it with the Jiang family, you don't have to be there, what are you afraid of? ”

Seeing that You Lin stopped talking, he was bored, took a sip of him, and told You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie, "Don't listen to him!" Go play! ”

The two of them then held hands and retreated, and when they arrived on the porch outside, they were wearing clogs, and saw a person walking over from the courtyard, because although there were lights hanging on the corridor, they only had a few steps apart, but they could only shine on the corridor, and the person in the courtyard who was sparse could see the shadows, You Can just caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, was startled, and hurriedly straightened up and asked, "Who is there?" ”
