The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 272 The Fiery Third Aunt Xing
In the twinkling of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sister-in-law of the Xing family followed her husband and brought her family to the capital in a mighty manner.The journey was smooth and smooth, Xing Zhong's posts were very useful, and he didn't encounter any troublesome bandits.When passing through Jining Mansion, the eldest wife of Jining Mansion knew that they were relatives of the Xing family, and she personally sent her son to the pier to meet her.

There is no grandpa in the Gan family, and the old lady and the couple have the final say inside and out. To show their sincerity, they even wanted to keep the third aunt of the Xing family in Jining for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

If it weren't for the fact that the third aunt had said straight away that she wanted to go to Beijing to help prepare for the marriage, the eldest wife might not be willing to let her go.

Fortunately, just in time for the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, about ten members of the Zhang family arrived at Fengwei Hutong.

Mrs. Lu was overjoyed, hugging and kissing the youngest daughter Xiluan who was only obtained by the third aunt's grandma, but the third aunt's grandma couldn't let go of our little fat man Fu.

Lu said with a smile: "Grandma's wish has been fulfilled. She has been looking forward to having a daughter all these years, and Xiluan is so lovable. I'm afraid my uncle will love her too, right?"

The third aunt's brows smiled: "What do you love! This damn girl is so skinny, her father and I can't control it, running wildly in the village every day, seeing her two brothers climbing the wall, she also rubbed against the wall. Sister-in-law said, this little girl is only so wild, so wild."

Xiluan is only two years old this year, just at the age of fun, with a pair of short legs running fast, but she still has a lot of strength.After hugging Lu for a while, the little girl became a little impatient, and wanted to go down to the ground humming.

Hearing her mother's nagging, she became even more motivated, a pair of chubby hands pushed hard on Lu Shi's chest, her two feet stepped on Lu Shi's knees and jumped to the ground, the movement was so fast that people could not speak.The words about climbing the wall and the room are not just jokes made by the third aunt.

Brother Fu's eyes lit up in the arms of the third aunt's grandma, and he wanted to go to the ground just like that.But Brother Fu is only so old, how dare the third aunt grandma wrap her around Fu Geer tightly.

"Xi Luan!"

The little fat girl didn't listen at all, and ran out after getting off the ground. Before reaching the door, she was tied in a skirt.

Xiuyan hugged the fleshy little girl: "Where are you going, little girl?"

Xiluan opened her big innocent eyes, hugged Xiuyan's neck fawningly, and called out in a childish voice, "Cousin."

Little Fatty didn't kick his legs anymore, he was as cute as a fat doll in a New Year painting.Lu and Xiuyan smiled and praised Xiluan for being sensible.

The third aunt laughed and scolded: "She remembers the meatballs that Xiuyan gave her yesterday, otherwise it would be so easy to talk about."

Xiuyan really likes this chubby little cutie, Xiluan just came here yesterday, and she was a bit suspicious of the newcomer, Xiuyan was afraid of tying up the child, so she personally cooked croquettes for her and her two cousins.The meatballs are not large pieces of meat like lion's head, but minced meat, mixed with dried steamed bread crumbs, mixed with various seasonings, it smells delicious.Cut out the walnut-sized balls and put them in the hot oil, and take them out as soon as they turn golden brown.It's best eaten while it's steaming hot.

The two boys of the Zhang family were also dissatisfied with wandering around the courtyard, so they stayed by the stove in the big kitchen, each sitting on a small chair, holding a small bowl of sweet white porcelain in their hands, and Xiuyan fished out one, and the two boys ate it One.

Lu Shi and Grandma Sangu stood at the door laughing so hard that they almost bowed their backs.It seems that the big swallow is standing on the edge of the nest and feeding the little swallow. They are so neat.

Seeing this, Xi Luan found a little girl from some corner, and hugged her too, insisting on sitting beside her brother.Everyone was afraid that the hot oil would burn her, so they wanted to carry her away, and Xiao Xiluan cried so sadly.Later, Aunt Zhang's father coaxed himself, and the two elder brothers endured their greed and saved a small bowl of freshly cooked meatballs for their younger sister. Xiluan then "let it go".

Everyone expressed their understanding of the little chubby girl's gluttony, Xiuluan was hugged by her fragrant cousin, and stopped making trouble to go out to play, and just stayed in Xiuyan's arms obediently.

The third aunt's words naturally fell on the matter of seeing the Jia girl.

Lu said with a smile: "I just sent someone to Jia's house to deliver the post, and the old lady will be able to reply in about evening. But my aunt has thought about it, this daughter-in-law of Jia's family is a bit listless, you may not like it."

The third aunt patted her legs and said: "Your brother-in-law often said that I am a piece of charcoal that burns at one o'clock. If you find a daughter-in-law, you will be in a hurry. There is still time for our family to calm down! Besides, Brother Yi is outside in the wind and rain. Go, the picture is that there is someone who loves him when he comes home. Don’t be afraid if you are weak-tempered. I, a mother-in-law, won’t eat her. There are people in her room, so I will clean up for her first. Let’s see if those old wives dare Dare to play wild in our Zhang family."

If the grandma of the third aunt of the Xing family hadn't been a bit aggressive, she would have drowned those gossips when her family went to Xiniang Village.Thanks to this energy, none of the folks in the village dared to offend Mrs. Zhang's family.Grandma Sangu was kind to her stepson, and after giving birth to her son, she was also tight with food and clothing for her eldest son. The villagers all saw her and knew that Grandma Sangu was a kind-hearted stepmother, not the kind of black-hearted stepmother.

Now that Zhang Yi has an official position, although he is not a high-ranking official, he is still an official appointed by the court, so he definitely cannot find an ordinary woman as his wife.In Suzhou, quite a few officials and eunuchs were willing to marry concubine daughters over, but the third aunt looked around, but she couldn't find a single one she wanted.

It happened that Lu's letter made Zhang Jiamao suddenly enlightened, and he simply sold his property and went straight to the capital.

Mrs. Lu nodded and said: "The second girl's character is not good, and I watched it coldly. In the past two or three years, she has changed a lot. That's... I'm afraid that Mrs. Xing will trip her up."

The third aunt sneered for a while: "When she got married, I was young and I couldn't talk, and the second sister was clumsy and soft-hearted. You won't argue with her after crying twice, but let her spend all her family money to accompany the marriage." .”

The third aunt referred to her as Mrs. Xing, the eldest aunt of the Xing family.

The third aunt didn't show mercy, she just said: "Sister-in-law Ming'er doesn't need to speak up, let's see how I deal with her."

Lu Shi and her daughter looked at each other, although they felt something was wrong, they were faintly happy.

The next day, Xing Zhong, his wife and third aunt came to Rongguo Mansion with their young cousins ​​and Bing Xiluan.Xiluan is somewhat reluctant to part with her new cousin, and she doesn't understand why she can't be with them.It's still Lu's talking and talking, only telling Xiluan that there will be meatballs to eat after returning home, and the little fat girl let go of the fingers holding the corner of Xiuyan's skirt.

On the Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia attached great importance to the arrival of the third aunt of the Xing family, and specially invited Youshi to help Li Wan take care of it.In the three small open halls of the Hongxiang garden in the Grand View Garden, four seats are set up. The Hongxiang garden is open and full of flowers and trees.The courtyard is mainly dominated by peonies and peonies, which compete with each other for splendor, and it is a fiery red color in midsummer.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was only yesterday, the chrysanthemums of various colors in the Hongxiang Garden had not been moved away, and the maids were busy sweeping the dust and dusting the water.Now there are only two girls left in the mansion, Yingchun and Xichun.Xichun's marriage was embarrassing. Jia Zhen had never had much affection for her younger sister, and she wanted to ask Jia's mother to help Zhang Luo.Now seeing Zhang's family come to see Yingchun, her heart became alive, so Jia Zhen sent You Shi to come over early to help.

Mrs. Xing put on heavy make-up early in the morning, Jia She was beaten by the old lady last night, so she didn't dare to sneak out today, and just waited at the mansion for people from the Zhang family to come and see her.As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Xing putting flowers on her hair one by one from the left and the other on the right, with a sneer on her lips.

Mrs. Xing blushed and said angrily, "What do you see me doing?"

"You still acted like you were just entering the house, and you didn't look at yourself in the mirror. Which wife is as vulgar as you." Jia She said acrimoniously.

The aunts serving behind Mrs. Xing covered their mouths and laughed lightly. Mrs. Xing was even more annoyed, she glared at them fiercely, and drove them all out with a wave of her hand.

"Master, I have been in this family for more than ten years. Even if I have no credit, it is hard work. The master has watched me work hard for these years. Today, I will at least give me some face and let me complete this matter." Mrs. Xing said in Jia In front of Xie, the mouse is as fearful and timid as a cat.

Jia Shen just wanted to habitually scold a few words, but suddenly thought of what the old lady said, changed his words again, and said: "Naturally I will give you enough face, but you should remember one thing, the Zhang family's marriage doesn't matter whether you like it or not. Everything has to be finalized. Don't mess up this marriage when the time comes. "

Mrs. Xing's smile froze on her face: "Look at what the master said, I'm not a person who doesn't know good and bad."

Suddenly someone came outside to invite the old man and his wife, saying that Mrs. Xing's family and Mrs. Zhang's family had already entered the gate.Jia Amnesty and his wife hurriedly straightened their clothes and went straight to Jiamu's upper courtyard.

The third aunt's grandmother was famous for her eloquence and pungent temperament, which was very popular with Jia's mother.As soon as Jia's mother saw her, she thought of Wang Xifeng, and there was a bit of kindness in her bones.In addition, the two boys of the Zhang family are tiger-headed and tiger-brained, not to mention how cute they are. Xiao Xiluan is dressed up like a dumpling by Xiuyan, which makes Yingchun and Xichun scramble to hug her.

When Jia Mu saw that the whole family was harmonious and beautiful, she nodded secretly in her heart.At that moment, Mrs. Xing entered the door, and everyone saluted again.

Mrs. Xing looked at her ruddy younger sister, and felt uncomfortable. Seeing that Mother Jia was going to take someone to the Hongxiang Garden, she hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my third sister for a long time, and I want to take my third sister to my room for a while. Then go to the garden."

Seeing Mrs. Xing's sincerity, Mother Jia nodded her head slightly: "This is a reasonable thing, please greet my aunt, and Yuanyang will pick you up in person later."

Mrs. Xing happily took the third aunt out, and everyone sent them to the hall together.In front of the Chuihua Gate, a group of young servants had already pulled a Cuiyu clean oil truck.Mrs. Xing took the third aunt to sit on it.All the women hurriedly put down the curtain of the car, and Fang ordered the boy to lift it up.

Pull it to the wide place, ride on the tame mule, go out of the west corner gate to the east, pass the main gate of Rongfu, enter a black painted gate, and stop inside the Yi gate.

Mrs. Xing sighed softly as if deliberately complaining: "The rules in the house are very strict. It takes such a long way to ask for greetings three times a day. In fact, if you want me to say, it is better to have a small family. After all, you don't have to waste your time every day. on the way."

Mrs. Xing wanted to show off in front of her sister that she was well married, but after the third aunt's grandma was amazed, Mrs. Xing almost choked on her words.

"Hey, the elder sister is also soft-tempered. It's clear that it's not the main courtyard, and it's far away from the old lady's upper room. But it's strange, why do your eldest son and his wife live in such a narrow and narrow courtyard? Not even my house in the country."
