peasant girl wedding

Chapter 204
Mrs. Qingyan was overjoyed.

"Pearl, so you are the ones the housekeeper mentioned? How is it? Has your urgent matter been resolved?"

Mrs. Qingyan said with a worried face.

Tong Zhu'er nodded, feeling very grateful in her heart.

"Master, don't worry. My family's urgent matter has been resolved. I will leave the capital tomorrow. Come see Master today."

Mrs. Qingyan looked at her with a smile, and soon asked the maid to serve melons and refreshments.

"This is your sister."

"Yes, Master, this is my second sister, named Tong Zhi'er."

"Oh?"

Mrs. Qingyan carefully looked at Tong Zhi'er beside her.

"It turns out that you are the lord of the country personally appointed by the Holy One!"

Tong Zhu'er asked in confusion, "Master, is Mr. Xiang very famous?"

Mrs. Qingyan smiled, "It's not that the Xiangjun is famous, but your second sister is famous. Ordinary people, not everyone can be named the Xiangjun. Even the courtiers have certain considerations and quotas."

"So it is."

"Ma'am, I just saw that the Clivia in the yard is blooming very well, I wonder if I can go out and have a look?" Tong Zhi'er asked softly.

Mrs. Qingyan smiled, "Of course it's possible."

Tong Zhi'er blessed the ceremony and left the house quickly.

Mrs. Qingyan sighed, "Zhu'er, your second sister is really smart."

Tong Zhu'er nodded, "Master, you are right, my second sister has always been very smart."

"You girl," the good feelings between the two made Mrs. Qingyan feel a lot of emotion in her heart.

When she was not married, she also had sisters in her family, but they were intrigues, which made her extremely tired.

As for the relationship between Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er, she naturally envied her very much.

"Pearl, have you read all the book I gave you?"

"Well," Tong Zhu'er took out a notebook from her pocket, and said seriously, "I read it carefully, but I still don't quite understand some parts."

Madam Qingyan looked at the book in her hand.

The pages of the book bulge slightly, and the back of the book is up, with a faint gray-black color. It looks like it can't be taken away from the hand, and it looks like it has been turned over many times.

Mrs. Qingyan is even more satisfied with Tong Zhu'er, and she has made up her mind to teach her well with all she has.

"Come on, tell me what you don't understand..."

.........

Orange and light yellow are interlaced, surrounded by blooming orchids.

Tong Zhi'er looked at the blooming Clivia in the yard, and was very fond of it.

"Girl, there are more plants behind here."

A maid walked up to Tong Zhi'er and smiled.

When she came out just now, Madam repeatedly told her to treat this girl well.

Tong Zhi'er nodded, "Okay, I'm sorry."

What the maid said was right, after Mrs. Qingyan's residence, there is a small flower field with everything in it.

Peony, lily, hibiscus, calendula, epiphyllum, geranium...  

Tong Zhi'er was dazzled by the sight.

"Mrs. Qingyan is really a person with ingenuity and ingenuity."

The maid grinned, "Miss is right, these flowers are planted and cared for by my wife herself."

"Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing." Tong Zhi'er answered.

The maid was startled, but then she covered her lips and smiled softly.

Tong Zhi'er blinked and looked at her.

"Girl, your words are similar to those of my wife."

"Oh?"

"My wife said, don't lie to others, be happy with yourself."

"Haha... I finally understand why the jewelry designed by your wife is so sought after by everyone."

"Please speak, girl."

Perhaps because of Tong Zhi'er's words just now, the maid looked forward to her a little more.

"Observe the details, your wife is not painting with her hands, but with her heart."

"Design with care," Mrs. Qingyan said to Tong Zhu'er with a smile.

"Attentive?"

"Yes, it's like when you look at the flowers on this vase, tell me, what do you see?"

"Purple Agapanthus."

Madam Qingyan nodded, but shook her head again.

"Master..."

"It's Baizilian, but it's even richer and more family-friendly."

Tong Zhu'er looked at her half understanding.

Mrs. Qingyan patted her on the shoulder, "Zhu'er, design doesn't happen overnight, you have to slowly understand, given time, you will definitely surpass yourself as a teacher."

"Ah? Master, how can I compare to you."

Tong Zhu'er blushed a little.

"A disciple who doesn't want the blue to be better than the blue, isn't he a good disciple?"

"Yes, Master, I will definitely work hard and surpass you, Master."

Mrs. Qingyan smiled happily, nodded and said: "Okay, I'm waiting for this day as a teacher. It's getting late, let's go out and find your second sister."

Tong Zhu'er got up cheerfully, followed Mrs. Qingyan out the door.

Soon a maid came to report.

"Your second sister is in the backyard. Come on, let's go there."

"...Master, your backyard is so beautiful."

Tong Zhu'er looked at the flowers in the backyard in surprise, and smiled and called Tong Zhi'er.

"If you like it, come and see it when you come to the capital."

"Ah."

Tong Zhi'er walked over slowly, and bowed gratefully to Madam Qingyan, "Madam, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

"Pearl is my apprentice, and these are all as they should be."

"Madam, my mother and the others are still waiting in the mansion, so I won't let Madam be spared. Let me take my leave first. When he enters Beijing, he will come to the mansion to pay his respects to Madam."

"Master, I'm leaving, you have to take good care of yourself."

"Go, remember a lot of pondering as a teacher to teach you."

"Master I will."

The two quickly left the backyard, and knowing that Tong Zhu'er was Mrs. Qingyan's apprentice, the housekeeper sent them out of the mansion very enthusiastically.

In the backyard, the maid who entertained Tong Zhi'er before walked up to Mrs. Qingyan, and said with a smile: "Madam, this Tongxiang Lord is really as famous as meeting him."

"What did she say?"

As a maid herself, she is very smart, if she is not a smarter person than her, she will not say a word.

"Madam, Miss Tong guessed that you planted the flowers in the backyard, and she also said that Madam paints with her heart."

Madam Qingyan's eyes sparkled, and she praised: "What a wonderful person."

"That's right, ma'am, this servant feels the same way."

"mother……"

A man's voice came from behind.

Madam Qingyan turned around and looked at her son lovingly.

"Chener... what are you looking for?"

Noticing Liu Chen's probing gaze, Mrs. Qingyan asked puzzledly.

Liu Chen shook his head, "It's nothing, mother, my child will help you play back and rest."

"it is good."

Liu Chen only stayed in Mrs. Qingyan's room for less than a moment, then left, and he asked the servant to call the housekeeper over.

"Master, are you looking for this old slave?"

The butler looked at Liu Chen in surprise.

Liu Chen walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Liu, let me ask you, who are the people who came to visit our mansion today?"

"There are three families in total, one is Mrs. Wang from the Ministry of Rites, the other is Mrs. Qin from Duke Qin's Mansion, and the last one is two girls from the Tong family from Qingzhou."

"From Qingzhou?"

Liu Chen's eyes flickered.

"Yes, when Madam went to Qingzhou, didn't she say that she accepted an apprentice?" Speaking of this, the housekeeper was also a little excited, "One of the two virgin girls who came here today is our Madam's closed disciple. "

"Well, I see, Uncle Liu, go get busy."

"Hey, master."

Liu Chen hooked his hands, and the servant standing beside him came over.

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Go outside and ask, where does the Tong family from Qingzhou live?"

"Master, what are they doing?" the servant asked in confusion.

Liu Chen glared, "Go if you're told, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Okay, young master, I understand."

The little servant ran outside.

Liu Chen reminded: "Find out as soon as possible, you know?"

"……Hey."

Liu Chen walked back into the house, spread rice paper on the table, picked up the pen, and thought of the girl he saw in his mother's garden just now in his mind, opened his eyes, and after a few ups and downs, a girl standing among a hundred flowers appeared on the rice paper with a smile on her face. Splendid woman.

Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, vying for splendor, and the woman smiles, but people are more delicate than flowers.

If Mrs. Qingyan or the maid were here, they would definitely know who the girl on the rice paper was.

"Ma'am, the servant looks at the young master as if it's a bit weird?"

The maid frowned.

Mrs. Qingyan swept the tea cover slowly, and said with a nonchalant smile, "When is he not being weird anymore?"

"Ma'am, this servant does not mean that. The girl was in the garden just now, and after the young master came, those eyes were looking for someone in the garden. Among them, the servant guessed, is there any connection?"

Mrs. Qingyan was a little surprised, "You mean, Chen'er saw Miss Tong?"

"Yeah." Not only did I see it, but I was also taken by it.That look, surprised and happy.

Mrs. Qingyan frowned, "their family will leave the capital tomorrow, if Chen'er sees it, he will see it, and nothing will happen. Tell me, shouldn't it be time to get a girl in his room? "

The maid nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, Ma'am, the young master is fifteen now, and there should be someone in the room who knows what's cold and what's hot. For ordinary people, but at the age of thirteen, there are already people in the room." .”

Mrs. Qingyan smiled, "When the master comes back, I will discuss it with him, and the master agrees. Then you will arrange a decent girl."

"Yes, ma'am."

…………

When Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er returned to Zhou Mansion, it was already late.

Seeing the two of them, Fang Cuiwei ordered the kitchen to serve the food.

"Second Sister, Third Sister," Tong Zhaofu came out from the room, raised his head and asked, "Have you seen Mrs. Qingyan?"

"I saw it." Tong Zhu'er replied, "I don't know I saw it, and the master also taught me a lot."

Tong Zhaofu looked at her in surprise, "Third Sister, tell me quickly, what is this Mrs. Qingyan like?"

"Benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes, amiable to look at, and amiable even to get close."

Tong Zhaofu covered his mouth and laughed.

"Ah Fu, what are you laughing at?" Tong Zhu'er frowned.

"Third Sister speaks politely now."

"Okay, you are laughing at your third sister and me, begging for a fight."

Tong Zhu'er stretched out her fist and ran towards Tong Zhaofu all over the yard.

Fang Cuiwei arranged the food, and this was what she saw when she came out.

She turned her face and said in a deep voice: "How old are you, and you still make trouble, wash your hands and eat."

"Yes, mother."

Tong Zhaofu walked over, turned around and stuck out his tongue at Tong Zhu'er.

"Second sister, look at Afuta." Tong Zhu'er acted like a baby to Tong Zhi'er.

Tong Zhi'er patted her head, and said a little amusedly: "You, Ah Fu is still a child now, it's good to be childlike."

"Second sister...you also help Ah Fu to speak, but you don't help me, second sister, you are partial."

Tong Zhi'er lost her voice, and comforted her: "Okay, Zhu'er, if you wash your hands obediently, mother will be angry."

"Pearl—"

Fang Cuiwei's deep voice came from inside the room.

"Mother, I'll come, I'll come," Tong Zhu'er responded loudly, and walked quickly into the house.

The next day, the weather was fine and it was a good day for a long trip.

"Everything is packed."

Tong Zhide looked at the crowd and asked.

"Father (Second Uncle), tidy up."

Zhou Yunniang, Tong Zhier and others replied at the same time.

"Well, let's go home then."

A group of people got into the carriage.

The servants of the Zhou Mansion watched the carriage leave and closed the door until they could no longer see the carriage.

After a while, there was a knock on the door outside.

The servants were worried that Tong Zhi'er and the others had left something behind, so they immediately opened the door.

The door opened, but it was a stranger.

"who are you looking for?"

The servant said on guard.

The man smiled, and asked respectfully and politely, "Does the Tong family from Qingzhou live here?"

"They're gone."
