Chapter 52: Zhao Celadon (Second Watch)
Sun Qizuo didn't expect that Zhao Qingci was currently a pregnant woman, so he muttered for a moment and said:
"That being the case, the old man won't be able to come to the door anymore......"
Fu Wenqing just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say something like embarrassing, when he saw him look at his sister-in-law.
Then, I listened to him, "I wonder if the little bowl girl can do the old man a favor?" ”
Fu Wenqing: "......"
Zhao Xiaowan looked at her old man, and then at her brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, look at this ......"
Fu Wenqing took a deep breath and looked at Master Sun Bo, "I don't know what Lord Bo has to ask his insiders?" Maybe the kid knows something about ...... too."
Master Sun stroked his beard and explained the purpose of the obligation.
"Yao Xiaocui?" Fu Wenqing frowned, he naturally knew that his wife had such a close friend in the boudoir, but he had never seen it, but he had just heard his wife think about it from time to time, so he had a slight impression.
Although he didn't want his wife to be sad about foreign affairs, but his father-in-law and Lord Bo were there, Fu Wenqing had to compromise, "Since that's the case, it's troublesome for the little sister......"
Zhao Xiaowan nodded and looked at Master Sun, "My lord, what do you want to ask?" ”
Master Sun Bo said, "If you can, please describe her appearance in detail, and in addition, it would be better if you could describe her physical characteristics." ”
Zhao Xiaowan said he understood.
Fu Wenqing took the group back to Fu's house, and when he passed by the porter, he asked the old servant to go to the kitchen to mention the matter of adding food.
Zhao Xiaowan has been to his brother-in-law's house a few times, and he is already familiar with his family, and after meeting the elders in his brother-in-law's family, he said hello to his brother-in-law and went to find his sister.
Although the Fu family has a little property, the rules of the family are not heavy, and there are not many servants in the family.
In addition to an old servant and a cook in the family, there is only one subordinate by each master's side.
Zhao Celadon and his family of three all live in the East Courtyard, and when Zhao Xiaowan arrived, Zhao Celadon was lying on the couch on his side, telling stories to the well-behaved Brother Ting in his arms, while playing a fan for him. The maid Yugui sat aside, holding the basket and holding the soles of her shoes.
As soon as Zhao Xiaowan appeared, Brother Ting saw it with sharp eyes.
Zhao Xiaowan saw that Brother Ting couldn't wait to run towards her, and was immediately happy, squatted down, and hugged the small cannonball.
"How is it, do you miss your aunt?" Zhao Xiaowan shook the little guy in his arms and smiled slyly.
"Yes! I really want to think about it! Brother Ting opened a pair of big eyes and nodded seriously.
Zhao Xiaowan couldn't help but nod his little nose, "Why are you so good at saying good things......
On the other side, Zhao Qingci watched this scene with a smile and slowly sat up from the couch.
"Little Bowl, why are you here at this time? Have you eaten, I'll let the kitchen make more ...... later" said, and asked Cinnamon to run.
Zhao Xiaowan hurriedly stopped, "Sister, don't worry about it." I came with my father and eldest brother, and I met my brother-in-law on the way. Don't worry, my brother-in-law won't treat our grandfather badly......"
Zhao Qingci didn't expect Zhao Daniu and them to come, so he was busy wearing shoes to stay, and complained in his mouth, "Your brother-in-law is really, and my father won't send anyone to inform me when he comes......"
Zhao Xiaowan walked over, pressed her on the couch, stared at her stomach, and was full of worry, "Brother-in-law has told us, you have a body now, you have to be careful in everything!" ”
"Besides, didn't I come to inform you personally, and I'm not satisfied?" As he spoke, he patted Brother Ting'er's little head, "Brother Ting'er, did you say it?" ”
Brother Ting'er's little head pecked one by one, and he nodded very seriously. "Daddy said, my mother has a little sister, for the safety of my mother and my sister, my father won't let me sleep with my mother." ”
"Yo, is this an opportunity to file a lawsuit?" Zhao Xiaowan pinched the tip of his nose and smiled.
Zhao Qingci could only helplessly watch the two aunts and nephews playing.
When they were tired of playing, they said, "Yes, yes, who in our family dares to disagree with you." ”
After that, he asked curiously, "Why did you come here at this point, is there something wrong?" ”
Zhao Xiaowan couldn't say that they came all the way to the county to visit her third brother in prison, and if they did, they could only make the second sister worry.
Besides, this matter is easy to hurt her by mistake, let alone say it, so you can only change the topic.
Zhao Xiaowan patted Brother Ting'er's little ass and asked him to come down. Seeing this, Zhao Qingci immediately gave Yu Gui a look on the side, "You take Brother Ting to the main courtyard to play with his grandmother......
Brother Ting immediately looked at Zhao Xiaowan, Zhao Xiaowan was happy, pinched his fat little face and said, "Listen to your mother." ”
I saw Brother Ting turning back three times in one step, and he couldn't bear to see Zhao Xiaowan with a reluctant little look, but he still had to say, "You go first, and your mother and I will go over in a while......"
Brother Ting was willing to leave.
After the others left, Zhao Xiaowan looked at Zhao Celadon and his expression became serious.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingci also slowly put away the smile on his face.
"Little Bowl, is there something going on at home?"
Zhao Xiaowan shook his head.
Zhao Qingci's heart was slightly relieved, and he heard the little sister ask:
"Sister...... Do you remember Sister Xiaocui? ”
"Why did you suddenly ask about her?" Zhao Qingci looked a little excited, thinking that the little sister had news about her, "Where is she now, is she doing well?" Are you still complaining about me? ”
Zhao Xiaowan only felt that her sister's three questions were very informative, but in her physical considerations, she still had to tell a white lie.
"Sister, don't get excited," Zhao Xiaowan touched his nose, "A few days ago, someone in the village saw a woman who looked quite similar to Sister Xiaocui, but because Sister Xiaocui had been away for too long, she was not sure. I'm just here to ask you, I don't know if you can describe the appearance of Sister Xiaocui, and what are the obvious physical characteristics of Sister Xiaocui? ”
Zhao Qingci calmed down a little, and after a while, paced to the inner bedroom, Zhao Xiaowan saw her sister go around to the cage behind the bed on the shelf, open it, and take out a scroll from it.
Zhao Celadon took the scroll of paintings and came to the case.
Gently untie the cable tie and spread out the scroll little by little.
Her eyes were gentle, with a reminiscent light in her eyes, and she caressed the scroll with her bare hands. After a long time, he sighed and said, "This is the portrait I asked the artist to draw that is most similar to Xiaocui's appearance......"
"Originally, I planned that one day in the future, when I met Xiaocui again, I would be able to give her this painting, but I didn't think that Xiaocui would be gone for seven years......"
Although the scroll is well preserved, it is still evident from the yellowed paper that it has been opened from time to time.
Zhao Xiaowan still didn't understand anything.
It turns out that over the years, her sister has been thinking about Sister Xiaocui.
Looking at the appearance of the girl smiling on the painting, the originally vague figure in my mind gradually became clear.
