"It is said that the young lady from the Qiu family who married to Wuwei County has returned."

Zisu glanced at the third brother who came back from inquiring about the news, frowned slightly, and said softly, "Xingniang Qiu?"

"Yes." The third brother nodded, looked at Zisu and said, "Didn't I tell you before? Whether it's the old lady or the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu family, they are all greedy. When you think about it, you can't compare to this aunt."

Zisu quickly cast a glance at the third younger brother, and glanced at Aunt Tao who was sitting aside with a dazed expression.

Don't want to, but Aunt Tao has already looked over worriedly, "Third brother, is this Qiu family so difficult to talk to?"

"No." The third brother quickly said: "Mother, you also know that people from rich families are all weird-tempered!"

Aunt Tao looked at Zisu, then at her third brother, sighed deeply, stared at the soles of her feet silently, and said nothing.

Zisu and the third brother looked at each other, changed the subject, and said, "Did Brother Dashuan answer the wine you locked up?"

"Yes." The third brother immediately raised his spirits and said, "Brother Dashuan said that the guests like it very much. Many people are asking when they can drink this wine." Let me ask you, how do you plan to sell this wine."

"Let's do the math first, and see how much the cost is converted into labor." Zi Su said while turning around to get a pen and paper.

Aunt Tao looked at the two siblings from the sidelines, flipping through the abacus, talking to each other. After watching for a while, she got up and said, "I'll get you some snacks."

"No need." Zisu looked up at the sky outside the window, and said to Aunt Tao: "It's getting late, you go and rest."

Aunt Tao waved her hand and walked down with heavy steps.

Zisu quickly winked at Qingqing, who was waiting on the side, and Qingqing walked out on her heels.

On the other side, Zisu put the pen in his hand aside and looked at the third younger brother, "From now on, don't talk about the Qiu family in front of mother."

The third brother nodded heavily.

Following the third brother's silence, Zisu suddenly felt exhausted.

"Second sister." The third brother slowly raised his eyes to look at Zisu, and said hesitantly, "Do you really want to let mother go?"

Zi Su rubbed her swollen head, speechless for a while.

Just by looking at the behavior of the woman who was envoy from the Qiu family, one can probably know what the Qiu family's attitude towards her and Qiu Yanzhu's marriage is.Nine times out of ten, the so-called flower appreciation is actually a Hongmen Banquet!The cowardly and timid Aunt Tao meets those noble ladies who have enough to eat all day and have nothing to do, the result can be imagined!

"Otherwise, what should I do?" Zisu looked at the third brother, "If I don't go, they will look down on them even more. I'm going..." She lowered her voice and said nothing, but the meaning behind her words was not to say anything, to each other I also know what's going on!

The third brother looked at Zisu who had a headache, tightly clenched his hands, and said in a deep voice, "No, let the fourth sister accompany you. It will be better if the fourth sister is looking after you."

Zisu shook her head, "Fourth sister is still young."

The third brother wanted to say more, but when he saw the determination on Zisu's face, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​letting the fourth sister go.

"It's really not possible. I'll go to Brother Qiu tomorrow and let him watch it that day." The third brother said softly.

Zisu wanted to shake her head, but remembering Aunt Tao's words that she would rather go hunting tigers than go to Qiu's house, she sighed deeply, nodded and said, "Well, tell him, if you make mother feel wronged, the marriage will fail." Forget it!"

The third brother looked up at Zisu in astonishment.

Zisu raised her eyebrows, looked at her third brother and said, "It is a man's natural responsibility and obligation to protect women and weaklings. He can't even protect his mother-in-law, so why is he talking about marrying a wife and adopting a child?"

"Second sister..."

Zisu waved her hand.Taking the pen and paper and the abacus that were pushed aside, he said softly, "Okay, let's calculate the cost and figure out the price as soon as possible. Haoxi will make the next batch of wine and try to sell it before the end of the year."

"Ah."

Outside the house, Aunt Tao who was carrying a mahogany tray stood upright under the eaves and was speechless for a while. Her eyes caught Qingqing who was also standing quietly behind her. She raised her hand to beckon her to come forward, handed over the mahogany tray in her hand, and said softly: " You send it in, tell the girl to rest early, don't tire yourself out."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qingqing responded, took the mahogany tray and walked inside.

Aunt Tao waited until she heard Zisu's voice asking questions in the room, and then walked away lightly.

"mother!"

Not far away, the fourth younger sister walked up to meet her, stepped forward to hold Aunt Tao, and said crisply: "Mother, I heard that during the day, brother Yanzhu's house came, who is it, is it to bring something to the second sister?" ?”

"No." Aunt Tao lovingly touched her fourth sister's head, hugged her and walked forward, and said softly: "It's a woman who came, and she said that on the seventeenth of this month, the Qiu family will hold a flower viewing party. Mother went over to join in the fun."

The fourth younger sister looked at Aunt Tao and said, "Mother, are you going?"

"I..." Mrs. Tao paused, then smiled slightly: "Go, why don't you go? At such an old age, I have only seen wild chrysanthemums on the mountain, but I haven't seen them grown in a greenhouse. of it."

"Then, mother, you take me there." The fourth younger sister looked at Aunt Tao flatteringly, "I haven't seen it either, mother, don't worry, I will obediently listen to you, don't walk around, don't move around .”

Aunt Tao looked at the fourth younger sister whose eyes seemed to be brighter than the stars under the moonlight, at her fair skin like porcelain, at her delicate and beautiful smiling face in the night, she leaned slightly, and looked up at herself The side I was standing on was a courtyard with deep walls and high walls that I had never dared to think about before.

"Fourth sister, remember, no matter when, you must treat your second sister well."

The fourth younger sister looked at Aunt Tao suspiciously, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Aunt Tao smiled and said, "I just think that we can have a good life today because of your second sister. In your future, don't forget your second sister!"

"I won't, mother."

Aunt Tao smiled and nodded, and took Simei to her small courtyard.

The fourth sister wanted to ask again, but seeing Aunt Tao's tired face, she shut her mouth obediently, and after sending Aunt Tao back to her room, she also returned to her own room.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the seventeenth day of the lunar calendar.

Early in the morning, Zisu went to Aunt Tao's yard.

"Mom, what clothes are you wearing today?"

Aunt Tao was sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair. After hearing Zisu's words, she pointed to the clothes that had been placed on the bed and said, "Take a look. If you think there is something wrong, you can change it for me."

"Hey."

Zisu walked to the bed, took the clothes on the bed and looked at them.A pea green turtleneck underwear, and a honey pink jacquard coat on the outside. The colors are very light, but dignified and warm.It fits Aunt Tao's current status, neither too public nor too low-key.Zi Su went to look at the jewelry that Aunt Tao had prepared.

Seeing Mrs. Tao wearing a round bun, she was hesitating to choose from the box on the dressing table. She didn't know which jewelry to wear, so she took a narcissus hairpin and inserted it into Mrs. Tao's hair, and said softly: " Wear this one!"

Aunt Tao took a look in the mirror and said softly, "Will it be too monotonous?"

Zisu smiled again and took a blue velvet flower and pasted it on the other side of her bun, leaned over and said, "Look, is this good?"

Although the woman in the mirror has left indelible traces of vicissitudes on her face due to the past years, the calmness and dignity endowed by the years are also appropriately reflected.

"Very good!" Aunt Tao smiled lightly.

Zisu took the lip balm on the table casually, and said to Aunt Tao: "Put some more lip balm on."

"Is this appropriate?" Aunt Tao looked at Zisu, with a twisted look on her face, "Would this make people laugh!"

"What's the joke?" Zisu took the lip balm without any explanation, wiped it on Aunt Tao's mouth with her hand, and said softly, "It's too late for them to envy and hate! Mother is born beautiful and hard to give up on herself, they just clean themselves up Even a bone spirit can't compare to you."

Although Aunt Tao couldn't understand the meaning of Zisu's words, she also knew that Zisu was praising her for her good looks, so she said with a glowing face, "Who would say that about my mother."

"Don't move." Zisu fixed Aunt Tao's face, wiped her lip balm lightly, then took the rouge on the table and wiped it lightly for her, then let go of her hand a little and said: "Look again."

Aunt Tao raised her eyes secretly, and saw that her originally pale face had a bit of watery charm because of the faint layer of rouge, and she couldn't help but said astringently: "This... Will it..."

"Don't worry, no one will say anything about you." Zisu smiled and said, "If you say something about you, you just think that it's because you are jealous of someone who is not as good-looking as you."

Aunt Tao looked at Zisu in astonishment.

Zisu laughed with a "puchi", raised her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and when Aunt Tao lowered her head shyly again, Zisu suddenly grabbed Aunt Tao's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Mom! , you remember, no one is nobler than you, they are all the same as you, no, they are not as good as you, you support yourself and us with your own hands, you are much nobler than them." See Aunt Tao's eyes As soon as she moved, Zisu emphasized her tone, "Don't be afraid, at worst, this marriage will be ruined. Nothing is more important than dignity!"

"I see."

Zisu patted Aunt Tao's hand comfortingly, "I'll help you change your clothes, the Qiu family's carriage is already waiting outside the door."

"Hey!"

Aunt Tao's steps were brisk at the beginning, but after seeing the wife of the Qiu family in the front hall, her steps became heavy again. When she followed the woman out of the courtyard and got into the carriage outside the door, her feet seemed to be tied up. I dropped two big rocks, which were so heavy that I couldn't lift them.

"Take good care of your wife." Zisu told Qingqing who was going with Aunt Tao.

"Yes, girl."

Qingqing quickly agreed and stepped forward to help Aunt Tao.

"Girl, let's go now." The woman saluted Zisu.

Zi Su nodded lightly, "Go."

Seeing the carriage "tuk-tuk" go forward.

Zisu's faint smile on her face slowly faded away, her gaze became sharp and cold.

"Second sister!"

Zisu turned her head and looked at the neatly dressed fourth sister who was timidly standing by the door, she smiled again and said, "Go change your clothes, and go to the back with the second sister to have a look, we're going to drink today."

"Hey."

Besides, when Aunt Tao followed her mother-in-law to Qiu's house, she was worried and didn't know what to do. : "Ma'am, here we are."

Aunt Tao forced a smile and nodded to the old lady.Trying to control his trembling body, he was about to get up and get off the car.Qingqing, who had been silent all this time, jumped out of the carriage ahead of Mrs. Tao, and looked up to see the old woman standing aside with a half-smile, without preparing a horse. No.

Qingqing curled the corners of her mouth coldly, and said to the mother-in-law: "Mom, your wife is really strange, don't you even welcome guests?"

The mother-in-law gave Qingqing an angry look, and said coldly: "Maybe there are many guests, and the wife can't get away." Turning around again, she said to Aunt Tao with a fake smile: "Others can't understand this, if you want to come Can the wife of the in-laws be more considerate, too?"

Aunt Tao was about to apologize and answer a few polite words, when suddenly she remembered Zisu's confession, although she couldn't show her words, she still had a straight face, and Qingqing got out of the carriage, and told the old lady He said lightly, "Let's lead the way."

The mother-in-law couldn't hold back with a smile on her face, but she still led the way respectfully.

When the mother-in-law turned her back, Qingqing gave Aunt Tao a thumbs-up, which almost caused Aunt Tao to laugh. When she saw the mother-in-law leading the way, she held back her smile.

Entering the Chuihua Gate, I met a few young women, who seemed to be quite respectable daughter-in-laws of the Qiu family.Those daughters-in-law and mother-in-law took a look at Aunt Tao, and then went forward to ask the woman who led the way, which family's guests came.

"It's the wife of the Tao family." The mother-in-law raised her voice slightly.

"From the Tao family?" Someone added: "The Tao family who is betrothed to our Young Master Yanzhu?"

"Besides that Tao family and that Tao family, which Tao family is there?" The mother-in-law pursed her lips, said coldly, and winked at these daughters-in-law and mother-in-law.

The next moment, the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law came forward to salute, "I have seen my wife."

Aunt Tao clenched Qingqing's hand tightly, she didn't smile for a while, and she didn't smile, she froze there.Qingqing quickly and secretly tugged at Aunt Tao.

Aunt Tao suddenly came back to her senses and said quickly: "No... no courtesy."

The daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law looked at each other with lowered eyebrows, and they all saw a strong sneer in each other's eyes.

"Qingqing." Aunt Tao tried her best to calm down and called Qingqing.

"Ma'am." Qing Qingquan helped Aunt Tao's hand, reached into her arms, took out a purse, took out a silver coin and handed it to the leading daughter-in-law, "This sister-in-law, This is what our wife rewarded you for drinking."

The daughters-in-law and mother-in-law who were smiling lowly were stunned.

"Sister-in-laws, take it quickly," Qingqing said with a smile, seeing everyone stunned there, showing a dazed look, and said hesitantly: "But it's missing?" After saying that, she hurriedly went to the purse to get the silver again.

The Qiu family is not a wealthy family, and what they usually spend is a few pennies, but now Aunt Tao only pays for a tael.And Qingqing still thinks that everyone thinks it is too little, so she wants to add more money.If this gets out, what will be said about it.

The leading woman hastily coughed lightly.

"Slaves and servants, thank your wife for the reward." The leading daughter-in-law and mother-in-law quickly took the money from Qingqing's hand.

The mother-in-law then turned to Aunt Tao and said, "Ma'am, let's go quickly. Come to think of it, our wife should be waiting impatiently."
