girl, she opened her mouth to see money

Chapter 218 Character

On the morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, the backyard of Tao's second room was already busy. Tao Qingbi sat under the eaves of the backyard, listening to the movement in the carpentry shed, and went back to her room to fetch the embroidery shed.

This time Tao Weizi drew two pictures of small screens for Tao Qingbi at home, and he said to Tao Qingbi, "Niu Niu, after you and Ziqin are officially engaged, you can ask Ziqin to draw a few more pictures for you. Lifelike."

Tao Qingbi heard from Ying Hongtang that Ying Ziqin's paintings were wonderful and lifelike. After Ying's family came to propose marriage, Ying Hongtang gave her two pictures of lotus flowers. She applauded happily at the time, and later guessed that it was probably Ying Ziqin's paintings. .

Tao Qingbi originally had a resigned attitude towards the matter of engagement, but now with Tao Weizi, she has more expectations for the matter of engagement.

Seeing the change in Tao Qingbi's expression, the elders in the family felt relieved. Ying Ziqin is a pretty good person, but if Tao Qingbi has been unintentional with him, after a long time, there will still be changes in this marriage.

Now that Tao Qingbi is clearly concerned about the engagement, and is willing to inquire about the arrangement of the Ying family, the elders feel much more at ease.

Only Tao Weizi knew Tao Qingbi best. Hearing that she was concerned about the arrangement of the engagement, he felt a little regretful in his heart, so he went to talk to Tao Zuoran about his concerns in private.

Tao Zuoran laughed after hearing this: "You and Niuniu talk more about Ying Ziqin, as long as she is willing to listen, this marriage can become a happy relationship."

Tao Weizi looked at Tao Zuoran very puzzled: "Their childhood sweethearts grew up, and Niu Niu and Niu Niu of the Ying family have always been friends. Niu Niu probably nodded in favor of the marriage because she knew Ying Ziqin. I don't need to do more Let me explain, I am worried that if I say too much, it will not be beautiful."

Tao Zuoran looked at him and shook his head, "You don't know your sister too well, she won't casually mention her brothers in the family, Er Niuniu of the Ying family has the same personality as her.

Ying Ziqin grew up with his childhood sweetheart Niu Niu in the provincial capital, but in fact, they had nothing to do with each other when they were young.He doesn't know Niu Niu very well, and Niu Niu treats him in the same way, they all believe in superficial evaluations of them by outsiders. "

In his heart, Tao Weizi was looking forward to Tao Qingbi's happy marriage. Now that he heard Tao Zuoran's words, he secretly decided in his heart that he should talk more about Ying Ziqin's official studies in front of Tao Qingbi.

Tao Qingbi was embroidering flowers under the eaves of the backyard. When Tao Weiqiu came over, she just stopped her embroidery needles. Seeing her stop, Tao Weiqiu ran to her and said happily, "Sister, my cousin's family is here to celebrate the New Year. Mother let my sister go over there." Meet the guests."

After Tao Qingbi put the embroidery shed into the cabinet, she held Tao Weiqiu's hand. As the siblings walked forward, they also admired the new thin layer of green on the edge of the courtyard wall.

Tao Qingyao followed Wen Liuniang's advice, and the family came to the second room of Tao's house to pay New Year's greetings, and naturally received a warm reception.

When Tao Qingbi's sister and brother came to the front yard, the sisters could feel the changes in each other's body. Tao Qingyao's face turned slightly cold. She didn't expect Tao Qingbi to have such a beautiful appearance.

Facing Tao Qingbi who came over to salute and say hello, Tao Qingyao quickly restrained some thoughts in her heart, and showed an exaggerated smile on her face: "My sister is so beautiful, I don't even dare to recognize her."

Tao Qingbi also wanted to say that she didn't dare to recognize her words. She never thought that Tao Qingyao would be so haggard. She was so surprised in her heart that she didn't dare to show any traces on her face.

"Sister, you haven't seen me for some time, and because you are my sister, you praise me like this."

Tao Weicheng called Tao Qingyao's husband-in-law to the backyard to talk, the smile on Tao Qingyao's face narrowed, she looked at Tao Qingbi and frowned: "Bi'er, you are going to be engaged, so you should dress properly, you are wearing a bit frivolous now. "

Tao Qingbi looked down at the plain velvet embroidered jacket on her body, then at the embroidered shirt and skirt Tao Qingyao was wearing, and said calmly: "Cousin, if you say that people look at themselves first, if my clothes are not correct, there will be few people in the street." It can be like entering the eyes of a cousin.

When I was in the first year of junior high school, I went to the long house to pay New Year’s greetings. My aunt and sister-in-law in the hall wore clothes similar to mine.

It's getting late, cousin, I'm going to work in the kitchen, and my sisters-in-law will sit with you for a while. "

Fang Qiuhua's sister-in-law originally wanted the sisters to be alone, but she didn't take the opportunity to leave. After listening to the two or three sentences of their sister's conversation, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other and immediately understood why the mother-in-law asked them to come out to greet the guests.

Tao Qingbi got up and went to the kitchen, where Ji Bajie and An Erzhi were busy.

When they saw the angry look on Tao Qingbi's face when they walked in, An Erzhi reminded them: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, your cousin-in-law accompanied your cousin to the house, so don't give it to your cousin-in-law in front of your cousin-in-law. Look at your face."

"Mother, I got it. Do you know what my cousin said to me after her cousin's husband left? She said that I was not dressed properly. Bah, I told her that on the first day of junior high, my aunt and sister-in-law wore It is also the same style of clothes as mine."

Ji Bajie and An Erzhi exchanged glances, Ji Bajie said to Tao Qingbi: "Your grandmother and third aunt have to take care of the children, so you can help prepare the meals in the kitchen."

Tao Qingbi brought the dish for washing vegetables with a joyful expression on her face, Ji Bajie snatched it all at once, and said, "You just light the fire."

"Auntie, the water is cold, I'd better wash the vegetables." Tao Qingbi didn't let go.

Ji Bajie glanced at her and said with a smile: "Auntie can wash vegetables in warm water, let go, you don't know how many vegetables you have to wash."

An Erzhi nodded at Tao Qingbi and said, "Let go. There is hot water at home, and your aunt can wash vegetables in warm water."

Tao Qingbi let go, she sat down by the stove, raised her head and said to An Erzhi who was busy, "Mother, I can do some work by the way."

"On New Year's Eve, your aunt and I are busy enough. We didn't want your sisters-in-law to come and mix in the kitchen. Now that you're here, just light the fire."

Tao Qingbi lowered his head and stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, then raised his head and said to An Erzhi, "Will they have dinner at home today?"

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve, when guests come to the door, naturally we can't let others go out hungry."

"Mother, you're right. I want to learn from my mother and aunt how to behave. Mother, I also gave birth to a child. Why do I think my cousin is much older than my sisters-in-law?"

"She is older than your sister-in-laws, so she will naturally appear older than your sister-in-laws."

An Erzhi actually understood what Tao Qingbi was going to say, but she didn't want to talk to Tao Qingbi at this moment.

When Fang Qiuhua came into the kitchen, she squatted beside Tao Qingbi and said in a low voice, "Didn't everyone say that my cousin is a noble person?"
