Chapter 48: The Daughter-in-law
Speaking of which, people's ideas are right, how conspicuous the boat is, and there are no buildings on the river to cover it, and you can see the people who are following at a glance, so you can chase a fart! Naturally, it is easier to make white stripes in the waves with good water quality, just swim in the water, who can see it?
But here comes the problem, Zuo Zhan's face is a little unpleasant, this idea is good, the key is that he doesn't know water.
Yes, Lord Zuo Zhanzuo is an out-and-out landlubber! If you throw it into the water, you won't even bubble up, and it will sink to the bottom.
Dong Liang looked at this shy man with blank eyes, a little unclear, so, did she say anything sensitive? Why does this person look like he's been molested?
Mo Youran knew a little bit about it, covered his mouth and smiled: "Ahem, this doesn't say that Brother Zuo must go in person, don't you ask someone to follow you to find out the place, and Brother Zuo will go out in person?" Actually, there's no need to be shy, no one is born with water. β
Oh, so that's the case, Dongli has come to his senses, and it's not a shame to know water, can you be guilty of this? Out of kindness, he comforted Zuo Zhan: "What is this, I won't either, there's nothing to be ashamed of." β
As soon as the words came out, Zuo Zhan's face was even more ugly, Dong Li was a woman, did she have to take off her clothes to learn to swim? I'm a big man, and I'm actually on the same line as the little woman, and it's fake not to blush.
"Ahem, ahem!" Mo Youran coughed several times in a row, and glanced at his sister helplessly, the more he heard this, the more he listened, the more it was not a taste: "Don't say more, people will run away after a while, I will ask Lao Liu to find someone to go, he is familiar with this area, and he knows a lot of people with good water nature." With that, he hurried to find Liu Tong.
There were only two people left in the room, Zuo Zhan and Dong Li, lonely men and widows, the atmosphere was a little weird for a while, Zuo Zhan put his fist to his mouth and cleared his throat: "Hou Ye has been counting good days and auspicious days recently, it won't be long before you invite me to drink happy wine, right?" I haven't said a word of congratulations yet. β
Dong Li felt a toothache, this marriage is really nothing to congratulate: "Just by virtue of the relationship between Brother Zuo and the Hou Mansion, it will be indispensable at that time, right?" It's not easy for me to go out loose and loose, big brother, don't talk about this anymore, I have a headache. β
Zuo Zhan laughed, Nangong Xiao, who has always been invincible in the pile of women, actually had such a day, and his serious fiancΓ©e actually disliked him so much, this can be regarded as retribution, right? After laughing, he persuaded Dongli: "I want to open up a little bit of everything, in fact, Nangong is not the kind of person on the surface, living in such an environment, it is not easy for anyone, Mrs. Nangong is a comparison, well, a simple person, Hou Ye can't take care of him all the time, it is not easy for him to grow so big." β
Not to mention other power calculations, there are enough things in the compound that can't see the light, it's a very simple matter to kill a child, although Nangong Xiao's mother is the main mother, but, how to say it, the brain is a little not so good, a little tendon, the concubines under them have their own thoughts, although the old lady protects them, Nangong Xiao Ping'an's growth still depends on his own efforts.
In the eyes of outsiders, the wind wanderer is just a protective color, right? Tell the superiors that I am such a person, with a lot of shortcomings, no ambitions, and no need to guard against me.
Dong Liang sighed, yes, it's not easy, and the mood can be regarded as a little relaxed, as long as Nangong Xiao doesn't come to hinder his small life in the future, won't he live under one roof, and he can still see beautiful men every day, it's nothing.
Mo leisurely arranged things and came in with a curtain, seeing that the atmosphere between the two seemed to be extremely harmonious, his eyebrows trembled, he liked Zuo Zhan as his brother-in-law, but people are not as good as heaven, going around and around, my sister still can't escape that fate, it's a pity: "What do you whisper?" The people have already been arranged, and Lao Liu said that those two guys are just like fish, and they are absolutely no problem with individuals. β
"Thank you, brother." Zuo Zhan hugged his fists, Mo Youran shook his head with a smile, and he laughed: "I didn't say any secrets, isn't this Dongli going to get married?" I know a lot about the Nangong family. β
"Huh? The person is gone. Dong Li noticed that Zhou handed the basket to Yan Nong, and after talking for a while, he left, and quickly reminded the two men: "Yan Nong is also leaving, are people following?" β
"I've been in the water a long time ago, so I'm going to follow now." Before Mo Youran's words fell, he saw two heads poking out of the river, waved his hand to this side, and then disappeared without entering the water.
Zuo Zhan moved very fast, and immediately followed the Zhou family, the two brothers and sisters of the Mo family had nothing to do, Mo Youran instructed Liu Tong, and when the people came back, remember to go to Lord Zuo, so he took his sister out of the door and got on the horse and walked back.
When I entered the door, I found that something was not quite right, and the people who knew their identities at the back door were all squeezing their eyebrows at themselves, thinking that they wanted to say something, but it was difficult to say that Mo Youran was present, so it was called a tangle.
Mo Youran is not blind, he saw the expressions of those people in his eyes, and his brows immediately wrinkled: "What's the matter?" If you have something, what do you do with your eyebrows? β
The subordinate immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Young master, miss, someone is coming from Beihou Mansion in Jingcheng Town, I want to see the eldest lady, Mrs. has already sent someone to guard it, tell Miss you to quickly change your clothes and go over, and Mrs. over there wants to drag it." β
Someone from the Hou Mansion is here? The brother and sister were startled, Zhenbeihou is still here and hasn't left, why is someone here again?
At the moment, Dongli didn't care about anything else, she was still dressed in men's clothes, so that people would have something to say when they saw it, so she quickly ran back to the room to wash her face and change clothes, Mo stayed for a while: "This is a big deal, just say it directly, what are you doing there to talk and stop?" β
The subordinate was wronged to death: "Miss has instructed before that her identity is not allowed to be revealed in front of others." β
Mo Youran was so angry that he came in with Dong Li, and he clearly knew the trick of his sister pretending to be a man, this one has no eyesight! Besides, what do you mean by someone else? They are brothers and sisters of the same mother, how can they be reduced to others?
Speechless, he knocked the person on the head with a fan: "You brain," shook his head, unable to say anything.
Dong Liang ran back to the room at first glance and saw the two maids in a circle, Dan Zhu and Shui Mo were already sweating in a hurry, as soon as they saw the young lady rushing in, they dragged people to wash their faces without saying a word, one helped hand the handkerchief to wipe his face, and the other had already taken out the clothes he had already taken over, and then Dan Zhu combed her hair and makeup, and Ink began to change her clothes, the two maids were quick with their hands and feet, and in a moment they turned a handsome boy into a young lady again.
"You still have to put some makeup on your face, ink, you choose a headgear for Miss to wear." Danzhu hurriedly opened the dressing box, what rouge powder snail Dai, a large table was spread out dazzlingly.
"Stop, stop! Don't be so troublesome, it's too late. Dong Li felt big when she saw those cosmetics, they were all harmful, they were all harmful, she had to make something natural and pollution-free for herself: "Isn't there a bottle of rose dew?" Rub a little bit on the neck and behind the ears, and the incense powder will not be needed, and the lip gloss I made myself will take it, and wipe it on the mouth a little. β
Isn't this too plain? Danzhu thought about it, but still relied on her, she was just a maid, there was no need to be serious about these things with the master, right?
Dong Li is not interested in heavy makeup, that kind of dress will wait until he is over thirty years old, young is the capital, and now a small face is tender and tender when it seems to be able to pinch out of the water, it is born white and red, and what kind of rouge gouache is to spoil himself, he looked at the mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "Hurry up and go, my mother estimates that it won't take long." β
Xu is talking to the old lady of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and it seems to be very shameful to send a subordinate to see the new daughter-in-law, but it also depends on the identity of the subordinate, if it is really an ordinary person, Xu is estimated to have been driven out with a big stick, and he will talk with such a smile?
The person who came was nominally a subordinate, but those who knew a little bit knew that this old lady was not ordinary, and she was half a master in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and the young ladies with low seniority had to say hello when they saw it, and they were the sisters of the old lady of the Hou Mansion for life.
When Mama Guo was young, she was the old lady's personal maid, and when she first arrived at the old lady, she was still a childish little girl, and after serving the old lady for a few years, she married into the Hou Mansion, and she never married in her life, and served her master with hard work.
The old lady sent such a person to see the future granddaughter-in-law, in fact, it was to show her attitude, this granddaughter-in-law she identified, those who had a small abacus in their hearts were born as soon as possible.
Since he is here to support his daughter, Xu is naturally willing to accompany him.
As he was talking, he heard a maid outside: "The eldest lady is here!" Then the maid opened the curtain, and a young girl walked in outside, wearing a light blue cardigan with a short waist and a half-arm shirt, revealing a lilac-colored long-sleeved tunic gown, with the same light blue tulle belt around her waist, and a goose-yellow skirt below.
Mama Guo couldn't help but nod secretly, no matter what people look like, this bearing alone is unusual.
Dongli has suffered a lot in this regard, everyone pays a lot of attention to the action, looking at the graceful posture of the willows when walking, but it requires the body to maintain a good center of gravity, and the upper body is stable while walking, and the golden step and the like on the head can not shake significantly, and the corners of the skirt can not fly, Xu Shi in order to teach her to learn this, at the beginning of the rope tied to the bell for her to hang on her body, when to walk the bell does not ring, when to qualify.
Dong Liang came over to greet his mother, and Xu smiled at her: "This is Mama Guo in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, the first capable person around the old lady, who went to give Mama Guo a gift." β
Dong Liang walked over according to her words, and before she could bend down, Mama Guo helped the person up in a panic: "Oh, this can't be done, I'm just a subordinate, where can I ask Miss to give me a gift!" As he spoke, his eyes quietly glanced around Dong Li's face, and he paid attention to the little girl's black and white clear and pleasing eyes, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Xu Shi saw it and breathed a sigh of relief.
