Linglong

Chapter 32

Two aristocratic ladies from the capital came to Shuntian Mansion all of a sudden, which naturally attracted people's attention.

Yu Wenhui made a special trip back to her natal home with her daughter Su Shengchun.She has always been not very pleasing to her elder sister-in-law Qiao, but this time she met her very kindly and affectionately, "The eldest brother and sister of the Qiao family haven't come back for a long time, the elder sister-in-law should often go back to Qiao's Lane to have a look. One is that the old man likes it in his heart, and the other is The reunion of brothers and sisters can relieve years of lovesickness." Qiao urged her to go back to her mother's house.

How could old lady Yu not understand what her little daughter was thinking?Although she felt that she was eager for quick success, she still helped her after all, and said to Qiao Shi with a smile: "Hui'er is right. You don't have to worry too much, go back and have a look often, anyway, the two families are close to each other, so it doesn't take much money." Zhou Zhang." Qiao thanked herself, "Thank you mother, you are so considerate."

Qiao's body was weak since she was a child, and the old man Qiao, who was negotiating with Yu and Qiao, made it clear, "A Tao can't manage the family, can't manage things, your family is married to the eldest son and daughter-in-law, so it's better to think carefully. But Mrs. Yu said: "My family hires a wife for the eldest son. The most important thing is to be gentle and good-natured, and talent is a trivial matter." The two families agreed on that.So after Qiao's marriage into the Yu family, she didn't take much care of it.No matter whether old lady Yu was dissatisfied or not, she never said anything.Mrs. Qiao has always been grateful for this, and now she is not surprised to hear Mrs. Yu say that.

Linglong, Jingjia, Jingxi, Su Shengchun and others sat with Mo respectfully, and when they heard Yu Wenhui's words, they couldn't help but look at her more.Auntie, you really have a fiery heart, Mrs. Chongshan Hou and the two sisters of the Xu family have only just arrived in Shuntian Mansion, so you have tried every means to make friends?
Of course, Yu Wenhui didn't ask her to go back to her natal family more for Qiao's sake, she clearly wanted to take the opportunity to spend more time with Qiao's alley, so as to establish friendship with the female family members of the Chongshan Hou family.Or maybe at Su Shengchun's age, she has already started making plans for marriage and wants to sell Su Shengchun.

Linglong's thinking was right. Yu Wenhui waved to Su Shengchun after two rounds of polite words, and asked with a smile, "Qiao's Lane must be full of people and banquets these days. Let’s go together and open her eyes, how about this child? When talking about the prosperity of the capital, this child is very envious. Hearing that Commander Xu has a female relative in his family, he would like to witness its elegance in his dreams. Sister-in-law, do you like it?”

Su Shengchun was a shy little girl, after hearing Yu Wenhui's self-recommendation, her face flushed and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

She really wanted to meet these people, but she was still a little embarrassed when Yu Wenhui said it directly.

Qiao Shi nodded gently, "What's the matter, I made it happen." She turned her head and smiled at her sister-in-law Guan Shi, "A Jia and Ah Xi are going too, okay? The sisters can be companions." Guan Shi Naturally, there was no reluctance, and she smiled: "It's good, it's just a few children together, how can anyone not be naughty? Let the sister-in-law suffer."

Guan's words were polite, but Qiao's said: "No. Long'er is not naughty, it's very easy." The tone was natural.

Guan Shi smiled and agreed with a few words, and said nothing more.Sigh, if people who don't know the inside story hear what sister-in-law said just now, they will probably think that Linglong is a little girl who never makes mistakes like a saint, right?Only the sister-in-law would say that. If it was someone else, no matter how satisfied and liked her child she was, she should be humble.

Yu Wenhui was overjoyed, and immediately made an appointment with Mrs. Qiao: If Qiao's Lane wants to entertain the female relatives of the Marquis of Chongshan, Mrs. Qiao will be invited to accompany her, and Mrs. Qiao will send a letter to the Su's family, and Yu Wenhui will send Su Shengchun over in advance. Shi Qiao took the four girls there together.

Yu Wenhui's trip was worthwhile, so he sat down again and led Su Shengchun away with a smile on his face.

Before Su Shengchun left, he pulled Linglong embarrassingly, and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, is it not good for me to follow you to your uncle's house?" Linglong smiled Mimi, "My uncle's family only has Cousin Jun, and my aunt's family has no cousins. , Auntie and Auntie are worrying that I have no playmates in Qiaojia Lane, it would be great for my cousin to go there together, we can play together." Su Shengchun was radiant when he heard that, "Really?" Putting his heart back into his stomach , happily followed Yu Wenhui to leave.

Qiao Siqi is the governor of the Shuntian Mansion, and Qiao Sirou is the second wife of the Heqinghou Mansion. They had contacts with the female family members of the Chongshan Hou Mansion when they were in the capital. Feast them.It was spring, and there was a lilac garden in the garden of Qiaojia Lane. The lilacs were blooming just right, and the fragrance was overflowing. Zheng and Qiao Sirou planned to hold a flower party. , elegant and interesting.

The invitation hadn't been posted yet, the old Zhen Yuanhou was also ordered to guard the border, and brought his family to Shuntian Mansion.He and his two sons, Hu Ren and Hu Ke, will go to Nuer Gandusi next month. He is old and still devotes himself to the king's affairs. The emperor was very moved and gave the marquis' mansion in Shuntian Mansion.In this way, he may return home several times a year to enjoy family happiness.If Zhenyuanhou's mansion was still in the capital, the distance would be too far away. The old Zhenyuanhou really couldn't see his relatives at home for several years, the emperor couldn't bear it.

"There are more marquis' mansions in Shuntian Mansion." When the family of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion arrived in a hurry, the people talked a lot.

"This is also due to the family's good luck, and they stood in the right line back then." Linglong smiled.

The old Zhen Yuanhou was not only a hero in the founding of the country, he led his troops to follow when the current emperor was on the side of the Qing emperor, and made great contributions to his enthronement.Such a family has a bright future.

The Zhenyuan Hou Mansion moved with the whole family, unlike the Chongshan Hou Mansion where only Lord Hou, Mrs. Hou, and the two sisters from the Xu family came. It took only one hour to pass, which made people smash their tongues.

"How many female dependents does the Zhenyuanhou's Mansion have?" Yu Wenhui came to the door again, and asked about the Zhenyuanhou's Mansion with great interest.

Mrs. Qiao heard what Qiao Sirou had told her carefully, so she told her one by one, "Listen to my eldest sister, Mrs. Hou has passed away, and now the Hu family is hosted by Mrs. Wen, the wife of the eldest son; the eldest son has three sons and three daughters. They are all married, only the youngest daughter has not yet reached the age of Ji, and has not been betrothed to others; the wife of the second son, Mrs. Wu, has three sons and two daughters under her knees, and only the youngest girl is left to be married. My eldest sister said that there are six granddaughter-in-laws in this family I can’t remember what she said, so I didn’t go into details.”

"That's right." Yu Wenhui nodded with a smile.

That's right, it's not easy for my sister-in-law to remember what she said, but if she really wants to really make her remember the surnames and natal families of the six young wives in Zhenyuan Houfu, it will be difficult for her.

Yu Wenhui was sitting in the living room talking to Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Guan and others. Xionghong came to report with a smile, "The cousin of Qiao's family is here, and she came to send posts to our three girls in person." Yu Wenhui listened , without waiting for her mother, Mrs. Yu, to say something, she hurriedly said: "Please hurry up, please hurry up." The old lady Yu glanced at her lightly, and said in her heart: "Huier, you are really good, the days are as many as leaves. Now, what are you in a hurry for? Wouldn’t it be better to be calm? It’s nothing to be underestimated.” She said gently, “Please come in quickly, this is a girl from my own family, she is a distinguished guest of the Yu family.” Xionghong smiled all over her face He agreed and went out.

This day was originally Yu Wenhui's conversation with Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Guan and others. Yu Wenhui didn't bring Su Shengchun with her, so Mrs. Yu didn't let her three granddaughters sit in on it.When Qiao Zhijun came, Linglong, Jingjia, and Jingxi were naturally called to accompany the guests.The little girl still needs to be accompanied by a little girl. If the watery child is only in front of the old man, wouldn't it be boring?

Qiao Zhijun met Mrs. Yu and others, and he smiled and said hello, "The old lady's complexion is getting better, so you can see that life is comfortable." You are filial, my old lady is taken care of by the two of them, and she always smiles every day, so she is very comfortable." Qiao Zhijun said brightly, "The old lady is so funny."

Yu Wenhui hurriedly said: "Mother, are you serious? Could it be that only the two sisters-in-law are good, and the daughter is not worth mentioning?" Guan Shi is also very good at joking, "How can anyone praise his daughter-in-law like this? Mother, I am What I can't help boasting is that when you say it like this, I am not as heavy as a bone, and I am about to go to heaven! If I really fly away, who will be filial to you? Isn't it exhausting to be left alone?" Everyone who said it laughed.

Qiao Zhijun chatted and laughed with the elders for a while, then he pulled Linglong out by a random excuse, and told her with bright eyes, "Little cousin, let's see how lively we will be in the future, so many people are chasing His Royal Highness King Zhou." coming!"

She was the only girl in the Qiao family who hadn't left the court, and she really had no one to confide in.No, on the pretext of delivering the post personally, she came to gossip with Linglong.

Linglong laughed aloud twice, and touched her nose.Cousin, why do I feel that these people are not chasing King Zhou?Or in other words, not just after King Zhou?The new positions of Chongshanhou and Zhenyuanhou are both senior generals in the army, and such appointments must go through the emperor.The current emperor is a praised and wise monarch, so don't be confused. If these people are planning to let the girls in the family chase the King of Zhou, can he make her wish come true?Not like it.In the current situation, it seems that the emperor attaches great importance to the defense of the northern border and intends to expand the territory.

Therefore, the military is the most important thing.It is not impossible to chase King Zhou, but it can only be regarded as a little bit.

Qiao Zhijun pulled Linglong to look up and down, "Little cousin, what clothes and jewelry are you wearing on the day of the banquet? Let my cousin take a look for you first."

Linglong laughed, "I'm not the host and guest, besides, I'm still young..."

Do I need to decorate carefully to compete with those young ladies?It's completely unnecessary.

Qiao Zhijun looked at Linglong with reproachful eyes, hating iron for being weak.

Linglong rubbed her cheeks, giggling, "Cousin, don't you think I'm naturally beautiful, and I don't need to dress up at all?"

Qiao Zhijun smiled teased by her, and nodded her forehead reproachfully, "Who do you think those are? They have eyes on the bottom of their heads, and they are very contemptuous. Little cousin, cousin will pick out clothes for you first. , then you can’t let those people underestimate you.”

"Okay." Linglong said nothing.

Cousin, since you are so worried, I will let you dress up.Alas, there is no way, my personality is too good, I am too considerate of others, and I am so happy with the situation.
