spring cloud warm

Chapter 103

As soon as February enters, there is a sense of spring in the capital.

The remaining snow from last winter has melted away and the ground has become soft.

The grass on the hillside outside the city has turned green, and paper kites are flying all over the sky.

Many anxious people have already gone out for an outing, but after all, the spring is not strong, and the flowers on Moshang are still far away.

The morning wind is chilly, the Xu family has already been up and busy, and tomorrow is the day when the third lady Xu Chunqiao will leave the cabinet, how can they not be busy?

The second grandma, Song Shi, is directing a group of servant girls to sweep the courtyard and hang red silk. Although she only sent a concubine to go out, the family has started to make preparations since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Although she was busy, she always had a pleasant face and said to everyone: "Everyone has been busy for almost a month. After tomorrow, I must let you have a good meal and rest for a few days."

"Thank you, Second Grandma, for loving us," a sweet-mouthed servant among the servants hurriedly took over the words, "We have happy events one after another, and we have received a lot of red envelopes alone, not to mention being happy!"

This is also telling the truth. Although the Xu family returned to the capital last year, although it was not a long time, they really did a lot of happy events.

First Xu Lang got married, then the three masters took concubines, and now Xu Chunqiao got married, and Xu Chunjun came out of the cabinet in autumn.

"Actually, if the third young master didn't have a limp, he should have kissed me." Someone muttered softly.

"Hurry up and shut up, you really can't open the pot and pick up the pot." Someone immediately warned.

The prodigal son of the third young master has become a joke in the family, and now he shuts himself in the room and cannot come out, except for the person who waits on him, he has not seen him for a long time.

The second grandmother, Song Shi, vaguely heard it, but she just pretended not to hear it.

Then he turned his head and asked the old lady to see if the sedan chairs and horses for going out tomorrow are all ready?
Tell the coachman again, don't lose the new bridle, especially the bell on it.

Xu Chunqiao and Xu Daoan are half brothers and sisters, so Song's sister-in-law must be extra careful.

Xu Chunqiao was going to marry the Ji family in Huangzhou, two thousand miles away from the capital.

The people from Ji's family arrived five days ago and lived in the inn on Qiantiao Street.But a woman's marriage is a major event, and Xu Dao'an, the elder brother, has to send it in person to be at ease.

At this time, Xu Chunjun was talking with her in Xu Chunqiao's room, and beside her was Xu Chunqiao's biological mother, Aunt Zhang.

Looking at Aunt Zhang's red eyes from crying, Xu Chunjun comforted her and said: "Auntie, don't be sad, the more you are like this, the third sister will be more reluctant. I heard that this brother-in-law of the Ji family is honest and hardworking. Huang Although the state is far away, he will go to Beijing to take the exam in a few years. I can't."

After hearing Xu Chunjun's words, Xu Chunqiao and Zhang Auntie couldn't help nodding secretly, and felt sorry for her.

As long as Xu Chunqiao's husband becomes an official, no matter where he goes to be an official, he can take Aunt Zhang with him.It's not like now that you have to live with the elders in your family, and you can't bring Aunt Zhang there.

"That's what I said, but I don't know how many years it will take to see you again. Chun Jun, although you and I were not born to the same mother, we grew up together since we were young, and we consider ourselves to be fairly close to you. I know You are a caring person, not cowardly and cowardly like me. But you also have to think about yourself and take care of yourself. After I leave, please take care of my aunt and write to me often so that I know The situation at home."

"I will remember what the third sister said, don't worry." Xu Chunjun held Xu Chunqiao's hand and said, "The mountains never turn around, and the water always changes, and our sisters will always be reunited. As for how to get along with the family members after marriage, our family's The elders will tell you one by one, so I won't go out of my way. My sister also needs to write letters home from time to time, so that we can all feel at ease."

Saying that, she asked Ziling to take another box, handed it to Xu Chunqiao and said, "This is a gift I prepared for my third sister alone, and it is my heart."

Xu Chunqiao took it in his hand and felt it was heavy, but when he opened it, it turned out to be a pair of exquisite eight-treasure jewelry.

He hurriedly said: "This is not allowed, this thing is too expensive, you can keep it for yourself!"

Xu Chunjun himself has always been simple, and Xu Chunqiao has never seen her wear such a good jewelry, but now she said she would give it to herself.

"I didn't let others know about this set of jewelry. It was given to me by Mrs. Hou Ye. I kept it and prepared it for you when you got married." Xu Chunjun gently but forcefully pushed the box back, "It's here In-law’s family, there must be a few sets that can be sold. The third aunt gave you one set, and the second sister-in-law prepared a set. But once you wear it during the church visit, you will not wear it easily. That set is suitable for you. I wear it in autumn and winter, and the color of my suit is lighter, so it’s just right to wear when it’s hot.”

Xu Chunjun has always paid little attention to money, and no matter what it is, as long as he intends to give it away, he will never feel distressed.

"Fifth girl, you are really the most considerate person in the world. You never flatter the high and step down, which is really rare." Aunt Zhang never competed in the Xu family, but she knew that in this family, she really respected their mother. There are two children, not many people.

"It's not too much for us sisters to give anything. It's a pity that I don't have much to give away now. This is a good day for the third sister in her life. I only hope that everything will go smoothly for you and be consummated." Xu Chunjun spoke the truth.

Although Xu Chunqiao doesn't have great talent, he has a kind heart.

After living together for so many years, she and Aunt Zhang made up for themselves from time to time, and she remembered all these little things.

Just as he was talking, someone came outside, and Xu Chunjun signaled Xu Chunqiao to put the jewelry away.

The big house's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and Xinna's aunt came, and they also came to talk to Xu Chunqiao, so they had to send her something.

Xu Chunjun first asked Ann with a smile, and then said: "I have been talking with my third sister here for a long time, and now I want to go ahead to see if my second sister-in-law needs help. Auntie, sister-in-law, auntie , I'll go first."

Everyone said: "Hurry up and get busy! I'm afraid the second daughter-in-law has already kicked the back of her head."

Xu Chunjun came out with two maidservants, and met Wei's mother and daughter, so he stopped to say hello.

Wei Shi and Xu Chunsu have been confined for three months, and there was a happy event at home, so they came out.

Because of Xu Sanye's tough attitude, Wei's mother and daughter knew that they couldn't resist.If it continues to be nonsense, it will be even more unpopular.So this time when he came out, he restrained himself a lot. When he met Xu Chunjun, he stopped questioning and scolding Xu Chunjun.

But after all, it was embarrassing on the face, and he didn't look at Xu Chunjun directly, just responded vaguely, and continued to walk in.
