When I returned home at dusk, it happened that Widow Yi was sending a mother-in-law in front of the door. The two of them spoke inside and outside the threshold. The mother-in-law politely pushed her hand into the door, "Don't send it, don't send it, it's dark, you are such a recruiting young daughter-in-law, how can you meet that villain who has no royal law?" ”

Widow Yi half-hid herself in the courtyard gate, and smiled softly and kindly: "Then you old man go slowly, often come and go." ”

The mother-in-law turned her head to look at her and smiled reluctantly, "It's not that I talk about you, now that there can be such a person, it has been burning high incense for several lifetimes, and your heart is not too high, you are like this, where can I speak to others?" ”

"Mother Liu, you just have to go back according to my words, forget it if you don't succeed, thank you for the wine, I still can't eat it."

"Not for that."

The mother-in-law and her party were polite, and the party resigned. Widow Yi waited to close the door, raised her eyes and saw Lianggong again. He hadn't been home for three months, and maybe he had come back, but quietly, deliberately avoiding her.

Naturally, she has nothing to say, who doesn't want self-esteem? She smiled and nodded, and gently closed the courtyard door.

The "squeak" sound was long, like an invisible line, and the tail was broken without a sound. Liang Gong stood in front of the door for a while, standing until the sun was low, and the sky was a piece of mulberry linen paper with "sticking to the official", so dim that it did not make people breathe.

He evened his breath and entered the door, who knew that his aunt didn't give him a good time, asked a few words about his current situation in You's house, then pulled him to the main room, and glanced at the wall next door, "Widow Yi showed her mouth to find a family to support herself, it is really sought-after, these days, there are several matchmakers coming to the door." ”

Liang Gong leaned back on the mottled chair under the window, leaning over, acting carelessly, "Isn't it good?" Their orphans and widows are not having a good time, and finding a good family is the right thing to do. ”

Aunt Liang deliberately glanced at him and lit a candle, "Two days ago, a family said that it was a spice shop on Panyun Street, and the man was still very young, only twenty-five years old, and he had married a daughter-in-law who had died of illness, and there were no children below, and there was no one else in the room. To say that she is going to be Mrs. Chief. She asked for fifty taels of employment with the matchmaker, two sets of clothes for each of the four seasons, three pieces for the head and face, and ......"

She counted it with her fingers to Liang Gong, and when she heard Liang Gong's surprise, she knocked on the table with a smile, "This is not intentionally embarrassing, even the girl who married her head didn't dare to open her mouth." I think she just wants to scare people away and leave room for you. If you don't invite anyone to talk about it, you turn around and people really agree, but you really don't have a chance. ”

If people can really accept it, it will be a blessing for widows. How could he go out halfway and cut off someone's future, and withdraw from his mind in front of him, just to leave her a better way to go? There are thousands of better roads in this world than him.

He smiled and shook his hand, "You are just making up your mind, people don't want to put such a good future, what are you doing in our broken yard?" Don't worry about it, my family affairs are not in a hurry, and when I earn enough money, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a good family business? ”

Aunt Liang had no choice but to shut down and drive him to sleep.

This night, after Liang Gong went, the team of the Hu family sent a small servant to report the letter to the house first. said that the aunt of the Hu family and the young master of the An family would arrive the next day. There were some surprises inside and outside the You family, in previous years, the Hu family was just a steward to walk around, but this year, it was the wife of the head of the family who came to walk around.

Before Miaozhen could think much about why her aunt came in person, when she returned to the room, she was pulled into the bedroom by Hua Xin and muttered a few words, "I just heard that Uncle An will be here tomorrow, do you see it, Bai Chi smiled so unhappily." ”

"Really?" Miao Zhen didn't want to dwell on this, just pretended to be stupid, "Just your sharp eyes." ”

"Can her little tricks get past me?" Hua Xin sneered for a while, pulling Miaozhen, "Girl, don't take it seriously." ”

Miao Zhen just laughed silly, and slept in bed at night thinking about it, not knowing how to take it seriously. A person who wants to be a wife can't even tolerate this little thing, and he wants to make a joke outside. What's more, this person is Bai Chi, she has taken Bai Chi's mother since she was a child, and she should return half of her food and clothing and half of her husband.

In any case, in terms of name, Bai Chi can be a beautiful concubine at most, and she is the "Mrs. An Family" of the future. A young lady will become the wife of the master of the house in the future, which is a natural thing, and it is not to be missed.

She rolled over, still thinking it wasn't a big deal. There is nothing important in her heart, what matters now is the dried rabbit meat and fried quail that Lianggong will bring back tomorrow, and what kind of dress she has to make An Lang's eyes shine. All she cared about was a little woman's vanity.

Who doesn't have this bit of vanity? Bai Chi is no exception, still hoping to struggle out a touch of his own color under the light of the beautiful city. She got up before dawn to pick out clothes, and tiptoed to spread a few newly cut summer shirts under the New Year on the couch.

Rao was like this, which still alarmed Mother Lin, she sat up quietly and watched Bai Chi's restless back move in the unfading moonlight.

"Bang bang."

Mother Lin coughed twice, and Bai Chi turned around in shock, and slapped the lamp in front of the bed, "Mother, you woke up so early?" ”

"I didn't wake up as early as you did." Mother Lin glanced at her with words, solemnly patted the edge of the bed, and asked her to sit, "Girl, our mother and mother are not the house slaves of the You family, they are halfway into the house." You have to be too □□ first, and I pity that our mother and mother have no home, so they stay here. Although Mrs. Xian went early, over the years, the You family has never treated us badly. I don't have to say anything about you, your food and clothing are only slightly inferior to the two girls, and I don't know how much better than the girls from small families outside. He is a man in the world, but he has to talk about his conscience. ”

Suddenly, Bai Chi's heart was weak and cold, and he lowered his head and smiled, "Early in the morning, how did my mother remember to say these words?" ”

Mother Lin straightened the quilt with a cold expression, "I'm afraid that if I don't say it again, you will forget who you are." Although I have never read a book, and I do not know a few words, I am no worse than those women who have read books. All my life, I have paid attention to gratitude and a clear conscience, and my daughter will never allow her to be ungrateful. ”

Bai Chi was speechless for a long time, but he cried sadly in his heart.

Compared to the dim blue of the skylight, she got up and folded up a few clothes on the couch, her voice hidden in a vague outline, a little rustling, "I'm just afraid that the clothes will smell musty if they are left in the box for a long time, so take them out and disperse the smell." ”

Mother Lin knew it and moved it with affection, "Girl, I am a mother, how can I not know your heart?" The present is already the best, and in the future, if you follow Miaomiao, it will be considered to have fulfilled your heart, what are you not satisfied with? Who are we? How dare you still try to be famous? That's not what we're supposed to think. ”

Bai Chi stood in front of the cupboard with his back on his back, so that the morning dew and wind gaged his mouth, and love and sorrow could not be exported.

Early the next morning, the daughters of the family went to the door to look at the Hu family's carriage and horses, just looking at this solemn attitude, it can be seen that this matter is especially important in Mrs. Zeng.

Mrs. Zeng was originally born as a girl in the Hu family, and followed Miaozhen's mother to marry into Jiaxing You's family.

Seeing the red sun turning white, the Hu family's carriage and horses drove to the door, Mrs. Zeng hurriedly grabbed her skirt and got off the stone pedal to greet her, and blessed a gorgeous woman who got off the carriage twice, "When I heard that my uncle was coming, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep last night, and I got up before dawn and ordered the kitchen to prepare a mat for washing dust." Is my uncle's wife going smoothly this way? ”

This Mrs. Hu is a little blessed, with a full moon face, apricot eyes, and so many hairpin rings on her head that she can't crush her neck. Miaozhen quietly whispered to Lu Ying with her head, "Look, my aunt is still like this, for fear that others won't know that her family is rich, so I can't wait to use my head as a vase and insert all the belongings on it." ”

Lu Ying pursed her lips and smiled, and pinched her, "Don't let her hear, and complain that my mother didn't discipline us well." ”

It's not that Mrs. Hu sees that Mrs. Zeng is a girl from their Hu family, so she treats her a little disrespectfully, and she doesn't treat Mrs. Zeng as a serious Mrs. Youfu. Another one, Uncle Hu is the brother of Miaozhen's mother, and he is half separated by blood.

Mrs. Zeng was half-hugging and half-holding her, and her eyes only glanced at Mrs. Zeng, "I should have arrived a long time ago, but I was delayed in Suzhou." ”

When it comes to Suzhou, there is nothing in the eyebrows of great pride. Mrs. Zeng was knowledgeable and asked, "Is there something to do in Suzhou?" ”

"Not really." Mrs. Hu immediately said solemnly: "I went to Suzhou Lord Huang's mansion to disturb me for a few days. ”

The You family inherited the textile affairs of the imperial court in Suzhou, and also recognized this Lord Huang as a figure. Mrs. Zeng exclaimed, "Yo, does Mrs. Uncle have dealings with Lord Huang's family?" ”

can be regarded as asking Mrs. Hu's heart, she pursed her lips and smiled mysteriously, "Their Huang family wants to say that we are daughters-in-law." That's why I went to Suzhou to discuss with them. Now that you have arrived in Suzhou, you are not afraid of far, and you will come to Jiaxing to see you. ”

"Then this family business is decided?"

"It's decided. However, the children are still young, and there are still a few years to go. ”

The two young ladies followed behind and listened, looking at each other and sticking out their tongues. At this moment, Mrs. Hu turned her head back and smiled at Miaozhen, "Miaomiao is becoming more and more prominent." The young master of the An family originally came with our family's carriage and horses, and when he entered the city this morning, he said that he would go and buy something for you and your father first, and he would arrive in a while. ”

Miao Zhen looked back, and the zigzag tiles led all the way to the outside of the gate, and in the faces, there was no An Lang.

An Lang came and went to Jiaxing many times, naturally he would not get lost, so he temporarily quit the Hu family's team early in the morning and went to Yubao Street alone to buy fried quails from Guixing Shop.

Their home is no better than the Hu family, it is already a broken household, it is easy to move, and some people come to give gifts and bring it, and when they look on the road, it is not as good as a finger of the Hu family, which is not respectful enough. I had to do what I liked, take a special trip, buy some things that are good for Master You and Miao Zhen, and pay respect.

But it's not a coincidence, the fried goods of Guixing shop are famous in Jiaxing, and this will not be able to catch up. An Lang stood in front of the shop and said something wrong, but people were far away, "You can catch up with it half a moment early, this will be gone, if you want to eat tomorrow, please be early." ”

An Lang wanted to add money, but he touched his pocket, he was shy in his pocket, and he couldn't say anything, so he just stood with a face full of difficulties. Someone next to him suddenly accosted, "I'll give you a pack." ”

Sure enough, there was a tung oil paper bag in front of him, and when he looked up at the hand, it was a young man with frosty eyebrows, but he had a loose smile on his face.
