The purpose of the old lady asking everyone to come to dinner tonight is actually to give Mrs. Fu a reminder, that is, the matter of the eldest grandson marrying a daughter-in-law is not decided by her Mrs. Fu alone, and she is the old lady, she also wants to find a caring lady for the eldest grandson, no one can stop it, and the second is to give a warning to the two concubines in the family, don't think that you can get what you shouldn't get by blowing the pillow wind, she also cherishes the other two grandchildren, but compared to the eldest son and grandson of Min Xiu, there is naturally a difference, the best thing is to leave it to the eldest grandson, Because Min Xiu also bears the responsibility of passing incense to the Fu family.

After everyone left, the old lady left Fu Minxiu alone and asked him what kind of woman he liked, from appearance, clothing to temperament, she had to understand clearly, so that she could help him find a suitable wife.

Fu Minxiu was very helpless, he was already in a dull mood today, and he was already very tired of dealing with the old lady with a strong spirit, many times he wanted to directly say that he only had Qin Ziyin in his heart, but he knew more clearly the consequences after saying this sentence, he perfunctory the old lady said a few words, and then excused himself to be tired and went back to the house.

Looking at the back of Fu Minxiu leaving, Mrs. Fu sighed heavily, and said to the Qin Niang beside her, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, should I really leave it alone?" Min Xiu, this kid...... It's perfunctory to me. ”

Qin Niang picked up the old lady and walked back to the inner room, "Old lady, the eldest young master is filial to you, don't think too much." ”

"Hey, I know Min Xiu is a good kid, but ...... If he really likes that Mu girl, I don't think this cousin is bad, I'm afraid that Min Xiu won't have the same heart with me in the future. The old lady sighed.

"The cousin is from the lady's side, if the eldest young master really marries the cousin, he will naturally be more intimate with the lady's side, but ...... Old lady, can you also find one for the eldest young master? Qin Niang said in a low voice, taking the head for the old lady.

The old lady said, "I've thought about this, but I haven't found a satisfactory girl." ”

Qin Niang smiled, "Old lady, have you forgotten that Old Madam He didn't visit you with her granddaughter two years ago?" Her granddaughter is also the same age as the eldest young master. ”

The old lady's eyes lit up, "You mean...... He Xiujun? ”

*********

The next day, Shuangzhi went to greet the old lady, but was left behind by the old lady.

Holding the female book in her hand, she felt like she wanted to cry without tears, how could the old lady still remember this, she was obviously a poor scapegoat last night, the old lady wanted to sarcastically teach Mu Qingying, why did she want to recite the female book today?

God, she really wanted to tear up this female book.

"It's for your own good to let you recite the Nüshu, and when you get married in the future, your aunt will look at your character, and you should read more Nüshu and Nüshu rings every day, which is good for you." Mrs. Fu looked at Shuangzhi with a complaining look, and then reprimanded.

"Yes, Grandma." Shuangzhi clenched the female book and replied obediently.

"Start reading from the first page, and read it for half an hour today." The old lady nodded in satisfaction.

Shuangzhi resigned herself to turning the first page and reading it in a low voice, she read it mechanically for half an hour, but she didn't remember much about what she had read, but she felt that it was difficult for her to agree with these thoughts of taking men as the sky, but she didn't dare to express her thoughts in front of the old lady, she didn't want to be brainwashed by the old lady in the house every day.

After Shuangzhi finished reading, there was silence in the room.

Mrs. Fu's closed eyes slowly opened after a long time, stared at Shuangzhi, and said slowly, "Shuangzhi, is your uncle still in Shuicheng?" ”

Shuangzhi lowered his head and said softly, "Yes, grandma." ”

The old lady hummed lightly, and then asked, "Doesn't the cousin miss home?" ”

Shuangzhi smiled, the old lady wanted to know when her cousin would go back, "This...... Shuangzhi didn't know, but I heard my cousin say that my uncle was going to Pujing City in two months. ”

Old Madam Fu's face changed slightly, "Cousin doesn't leave until two months later?" As soon as the words came out, the old lady also felt that she was talking a little too much, so she smiled and said, "I'm worried that my cousin misses home too much." ”

"Grandma rest assured, my cousin has also grown up in the Fu family since she was a child, and she is not unfamiliar in our family at all, just like her own family." Shuangzhi said with a smile.

Mrs. Fu pursed her lips, it was obvious that Shuangzhi's words were not in her heart, she waved her hand, "I know, I know, my cousin can be a guest in our house, and she can also look up to our Fu family, okay, you can go back too, go to the house to be a female celebrity." ”

"Yes, Grandma."

Out of the old lady's yard, Shuangzhi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would have to accept this kind of brainwashing every day in the future, she really wanted to look up to the sky and roar.

Now she really hopes that the old lady will quickly put her energy back into her eldest brother, although she selfishly hopes that her cousin will be her sister-in-law, but if the old lady does not bother to find a wife for her eldest brother, she will have a very sad life in the future.

Back in the house, Rong Lan hurriedly came over, "Girl, you're back." ”

Shuangzhi stared at the chilled watermelon on the white porcelain plate on the table, it's a watermelon, right? But how can there be watermelons in this era? And also appeared in her house, you must know that watermelon was a very precious fruit in ancient times, and it was usually sent to the palace as a tribute.

"Rong Lan, who sent this watermelon?" Shuangzhi asked.

Rong Lan looked surprised, "Girl, do you know it's called watermelon?" This was sent by Young Master Qin, knowing that you were not there, girl, and went out with the eldest young master again. ”

Shuangzhi was slightly stunned, and his heart was warm. "It was sent by Qin Zixuan?"

"Young Master Qin said that this watermelon can clear the heat after eating, and I personally sent it to the girl, girl, what is this, red and red, can you really eat it?" Rong Lan asked curiously.

In this era, ordinary people have never heard of watermelon, let alone eaten it, but when Shuangzhi saw this watermelon, she remembered that in her previous life, every summer, she would go to the supermarket to buy a big watermelon and freeze it in the refrigerator, then cut it in half, dig it with a soup spoon and eat it.

She picked up a petal and handed it to Rong Lan, saying, "This is a fruit introduced from the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, so it is called watermelon, this red flesh tastes sweet and juicy, can clear heat and cool off, this watermelon skin is also very useful, used to wash the face or boil water to drink, it is also very good for the skin and body." ”

Rong Lan looked at Shuangzhi flattered, "Girl, this ...... This is very precious, and the slave and maid dare not ask for it. ”

Shuangzhi smiled, "Eat." ”

"Girl, eat it yourself, you haven't eaten it either." Rong Lan didn't dare to ask for it, it was only a few pieces, and if she ate it, she would be missing one.

She had already eaten enough, and Shuangzhi secretly said in her heart, "I'll eat one piece enough, you can send these pieces to Madame." ”

Rong Lan wiped her hands on her clothes several times before she reverently took the watermelon in Shuangzhi's hand, and took a small bite carefully, the corners of her eyes were slightly wet, "It's so sweet." ”

Shuangzhi smiled, picked up a piece, and looked at it silently, the ancient watermelon skin was very thin, more verdant than the modern one, and the flesh was also redder, she took a bite lightly, the sweet coolness spread out in her mouth, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became sweeter.

"Did Gongzi Qin go to the courtyard of the eldest young master?" She suddenly wanted to see Qin Zixuan, and for some reason, she wanted to see him and say a few words to him, he wanted to come to see her, otherwise how could he personally send a watermelon over, and send a little maid to send it.

"Yes, Gongzi Qin and the eldest young master came together, and if they didn't see the girl, they left together, girl, Gongzi Qin is really good to you." Rong Lan ate watermelon in small bites, she didn't dare to eat it all at once, she wanted to keep this taste firmly in mind, and she couldn't forget it for the rest of her life, maybe she would only be able to eat watermelon this time in her life.

Shuangzhi's face flushed slightly, Qin Zixuan was so considerate as well, she thought heartily.

"Did my cousin come to me in the morning?" Shuangzhi paused for a moment before asking Rong Lan.

"My cousin came to you early in the morning, and when she saw that she was not there, she went to Madame herself." Yunlan Road.

Shuangzhi smiled knowingly, my cousin is now on the same line as my mother, so naturally I want to get closer to my mother, who may be my future aunt, I don't know how my eldest brother feels about my cousin, it seems that she also has to find an opportunity to test and tempt.

"Send the watermelon to Mrs. to try it too, I'll go find the eldest brother." Shuangzhi said, then got up, went back to the house and washed his face, and then walked towards Fu Minxiu's courtyard.
