Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 85 Proposal (1)

"This matter." Li Xiaozu subconsciously looked in the direction of Qingtongyuan in the back garden: "Mr. Lu asked me for a long time about the Nanning County Palace. The cousin said that I really don’t know about this errand, but the third cousin didn’t say anything, complaining that we are now frequenting the Nanning County Prince’s Mansion, it’s all so good, and he didn’t tell him, he wants to punish me Qingfeng The floor invites guests."

Grandma Zhou was stunned for a while, then reached out her hand to hold Li Xiaozu, walked into the Chuihua Gate, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Dalang and Erlang of Nanning County Prince's Mansion are now often by Si Ye's side."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Xiaozu snapped a sentence: "Today, the fourth master went to the building to do business, and he said it was for repairs!"

"That." Grandma Zhou carefully pointed in the direction of Qingtongyuan: "I didn't expect that Wu Niangzi had such a wide range of friends. Look, since she moved back, people from Nanning County Prince's Mansion and Qingjiang Hou's Mansion came to our house almost every day. , and the little ladies of the Jiang family and the Xu family have to send someone to send them here and there every three or five days at most. People like the Dongyang County Prince's Mansion have to come once or twice a month. I don't know that they only go to Qingtongyuan, and they don't make any bends in other places. People must think that we have repaired with Nanning County Prince's Mansion and Dongyang County Prince's Mansion. If we really want to be able to come and go with these people, who is out there? Dare to look down on us? By the way, this year's Nanning Prince's Mansion Flower Fair, isn't fourth master also going? It seems that Nanning County's Prince's Mansion is shaking too!" Grandma Zhou said while thinking, her mind spinning quickly.

"Then do we want it?" Li Xiaozu hesitated, pointing to the back garden, Grandma Zhou frowning and stopped, thought for a while, looked at Li Xiaozu and said: "Haven't you told Aunt about this?"

"En." Li Xiaozu scratched his head: "I just wanted to tell you."

"Then let's talk to Auntie quickly." Grandma Zhou pulled Li Xiaozu and turned around to go outside, she said in a low voice as she walked: "I just said that Fifth Lady is a good person, but Auntie... I think she is sincere. Hello, let's see how kind she is to the third sister. Now that the third sister can come and go frequently with the Xu family and the Jiang family, isn't it all thanks to her blessing? You have received such a good job this time, Isn't this all the benefit of her moving back? I really can't figure out why Auntie is not pleasing to her eyes, picks her nose and eyes, and later you tell Aniang that this job is done by Mr. Lu in the Nanning County Prince's Mansion It was only given to us for the sake of face."

"Don't worry, I'll write it down." Li Xiaozu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Li Xiaozu received the errand of the store, and the third lady began to have a walk with several noble families in the capital. Mrs. Yang felt very comfortable for a while, and her temper improved a lot. She took care of the housework and returned to the upper room early in the morning , just sat down and drank half a cup of tea, the old woman came in and reported: "Madam, Mrs. Zhou is here." Mrs. Yang hurriedly got off the couch and went out of the courtyard. Mrs. Yang stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "Hi old lady, it's hot outside, please come in."

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Yang entered the upper room chattering and sat down on the couch. Mrs. Yang quickly ordered another ice basin to be brought up. You have to be careful, our house is full of ice basins at every turn, I can't stand the cold, but they all said it's just right, I have to put on my clothes and dare not leave my body, your place is the best, that's it." Mrs. Yang Embarrassment flashed across her face, ice was expensive this summer, and she was not willing to buy more.

"Hey, look at my brain. I haven't congratulated you yet after talking for a long time. I heard that your Dalang took the job of repairing the building and store? This is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern Da Lang is really capable, and you will be blessed in the future!" Mrs. Zhou's embarrassment and unhappiness just disappeared immediately after what Mrs. Zhou said, and she took the tea from the little girl and handed it to Mrs. Zhou with a smile: "How can there be anything I can do? I don't want to do anything to him. I'm stuck with a job, so as not to make a fuss."

"Your Da Lang is so good, can't you call him competent?" Mrs. Zhou praised, and Mrs. Yang was polite. You came and I went back and forth for a few rounds before Mrs. Zhou turned to the topic and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do today. Baodian, came with good things."

"What's the good news?" Mrs. Yang's eyes lit up slightly.

"That's right, Mrs. Xu from Qingjiang Hou's Mansion came to me yesterday and said that her natal sixth sister-in-law was Mrs. Huang from Xueshi Xu's mansion who sought her out and wanted to get married to your mansion. She didn't know you well, so she asked me to come and ask. Ask about this." Mrs. Yang was overjoyed, she couldn't hide her joy and eagerness and said: "Xu Xueshi's house? His family's young masters are all very good! Which one is it? See what I'm asking, there are no married people in their house That's the only brother, so it's a good thing, why not?"

"That's good. I'll just say, it's a matter of appointment. The ninth brother of the Xu family and the fifth sister of your family grew up together. This is a rare and good marriage."

"Fifth Sister!" The joy on Madam Yang's face stopped abruptly. Mrs. Zhou glanced at her, paused before laughing, "Who else could there be besides Fifth Sister?"

"This matter..." Mrs. Yang said with a forced smile: "The fifth sister is still young, and it's too early for this father to talk about it. There are three sisters and four sisters on top. The sisters are not married yet, but the younger sister made an appointment first." It's against the rules to get married." Mrs. Zhou frowned, and Mrs. Yang eased her clenched hands into fists, and suddenly turned around to look at Grandma Zhou and ordered, "Go and get the huanghuali box in my box. Bring it."

Grandma Zhou was stretching her ears to listen excitedly. After receiving the order, she hurried in and took out the box. Mrs. Yang took the box and waved: "Everyone step back, let us talk freely." Grandma Zhou secretly missed her teeth, so she had to Reluctantly rubbing against the curtain, he listened to the movement in the room with his ears open.

Mrs. Yang opened the box, looked down, gently pushed it in front of Mrs. Zhou and said with a smile: "I heard you said that you wanted to find a good pair of jasper bracelets. I happened to have a pair here. These are ancient relics handed down by the ancestors of the Yang family. You can take it back and use it." The old lady Zhou looked greedily at the pair of quaint and bright bracelets in the box, and hurriedly reached out to weigh them up, put them on her hands, and lifted them up. After looking at it carefully for a long time, he slowly took it off, carefully put it back into the box, fixed his eyes on the bracelet and said with a smile: "It's so embarrassing, how can I accept such a valuable thing from you."

"This thank you ceremony can't be less." Mrs. Yang stared at Mrs. Zhou's expression, and secretly said with a sigh of relief: "Each family has its own rules, and there must be a priority for getting married and getting married. The ninth brother of the Xu family and the three of us My sisters are about the same age, and it is common for our third sister to be an old lady. Tell me, is this character, temper, and appearance worthy of everything? Please ask the old lady to be more considerate about this matter. If it is done, I still have Thank you very much."

"This is also..." Mrs. Zhou heard that there are important gifts, and her old face with a smile turned into a chrysanthemum: "There must be a rule in everything. If it is, I will tell Mrs. Xu."

"The old lady and Mrs. Huang are also very familiar, so how can there be any need to go around Mrs. Xu? The old lady went to ask Mrs. Huang if this is the Xu family who made love to our family. Our two families nodded. It's done." Mrs. Yang closed the box and pushed it in front of Mrs. Zhou with a smile. After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhou replied with a smile: "Mrs. , there are birthday characters on this grass post, but it’s not easy to pass it around, it’s also a saying.”

"Well, I'll write it to you right now." Mrs. Yang didn't agree, she didn't ask anyone, she grinded the ink and laid the paper herself, wrote Li Yunshang's cursive post carefully, sealed it carefully and handed it to Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou didn't delay, she carried the box, and Mrs. Yang sent her to the second gate and got into the car. After watching the car go away, she closed her eyes and clapped her hands together for a long time to recite the Buddha's name before turning back.

Mrs. Zhou's car turned a corner, and in the nearby teahouse, a young man hurried out to catch up with the car, and pulled a woman next to the cart. The woman turned her head and saw the young man, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and went into the car. After saying a few words, he shrank his head back, pulled the boy to avoid it, and said a few words in his ear, the boy got the words, stuffed a purse for the mother-in-law, turned around and ran back.

In the tea house, Xu Sihai anxiously watched the young servant rushing in, the young servant was full of joy, ran to Xu Sihai's side and said with a smile: "Master, don't ask for horoscopes, it said that the other end is to order the third lady to Jiuye." Xu Sihai was stunned for a moment, but after a moment of effort to react, he rushed to Xu Xueshi's mansion.

In the afternoon sun, Grandma Zhou grabbed her handkerchief and slowly swayed towards her yard along the path with her head down, as if she couldn't feel the scorching sun in the afternoon. The accompanying room, Nanny Xiao, followed behind and said, "Grandma, don't Get lost in a trance, hurry back, the sun is too poisonous, be careful of getting sick from the sun."

"Mom." Grandma Zhou stopped instead, turned her head to look at Xiao Momo and said distressedly: "Tell me, how could she do this? They are talking about Fifth Lady, she insists on..."

"The eldest grandma said something stupid again. The third lady was born by her. Of course she left all the good things to the third lady. She has no relationship with the fifth lady, only enmity. Go back quickly. The poisonous sun can't shine."

"That can't be like this, alas! Sister, tell me, what should we do? Do you want to tell Fifth Lady about this?" Grandma Zhou asked all the way as she was pushed forward by Sister Xiao. With a long sigh: "Grandma said something stupid again, you just said it, so what can Fifth Lady do? Over there." Xiao Momo turned her head and pointed to the main courtyard: "That's your mother-in-law, I offended her, sir, don't worry." I can't save you, to put it bluntly, she beat you to death, and you have to bear the charge of disobedience! Don't do stupid things, besides, the third lady and the uncle are brothers and sisters of the same blood, Climbing into this kind of good relationship will only benefit the uncle, and the difference between the direct sister and the cousin sister is far away, grandma, don't be confused about the distance between close and distant!"
