Chapter 32

Zhong's face was full of smiles, "Listen to brother Xie's stupid words, why are you being polite to Wu girl, it's what she should do." Xiao Wu can send her brother and younger brother, and of course she can also send her cousin.

Zhong Xie smiled brightly, his bright and joyful smile was as dazzling and beautiful as the stars illuminating the night sky, and the elegant demeanor of the young man immediately fascinated all the girls in the room. This fairy-like character is fascinating.He looked at Youran earnestly, with eager eyes, "Fifth Sister, thank you Brother Yu in advance! Brother Yu will come to pick it up in two days, can you make it?"

Youran just smiled and said nothing, with Meng Lai here, she doesn't need to open her mouth to offend others, offending Zhong Xing is a trivial matter, offending Zhong Shi through this, will cause trouble in the future, look at Zhong Shi's expression on Zhong Xing, then Whether you are too satisfied or too fond of him, no matter if you refuse directly or tactfully, you will definitely offend Zhong Shi, which is impossible.

Yue Ran has been busy embroidering the dowry these days, and rarely shows her face. Today, she is very happy to see her little cousin. Su Ri is used to joking, and jokingly said, "Look, this is using my girl from the Meng family as a maid. What? The date has been set directly, my fifth younger sister is your servant girl?"

Zhong Xing laughed and said, "This is wronging my younger brother! Fifth younger sister is like a fairy in the forest, how dare younger brother! I am afraid that my younger brother is not worthy of being the fifth younger sister's servant. It is really the fifth younger sister who has done great things in this dynasty. It's also practical, my younger brother loves you so much, I'm just anxious. How dare you order my younger sister, I just hope that if my younger sister is free, at least I can do it for Brother Yu." Seeing leisurely with a decent smile on his face, he never said anything, he Among the group of young girls, she was always invincible, she couldn't help being surprised, and her eyes lingered on You Ran for a long time.The black jade-like eyes stared intently, and the white jade-like face was slightly perplexed. Such a stunning young man, in this bright spring day, is always fascinating.

You Ran has the urge to roll her eyes at Zhong Xing, dammit, what kind of winks are you throwing, girl, I will spend a few days and nights of time and energy to make a record of events for you?Do you know how much effort I have spent on this important event, not for my own brother and younger brother, who would go to such effort!What you pay is just a few winks, but you want to exchange my real sacrifice?How can there be such a thing, at most you will pay a few winks, and I will pay you back a few winks. Although you are a beautiful woman, I also understand the beauty, and I am not inferior to you in terms of beauty. Why do you want to commit a nympho for you?
Meng Lai asked Zhong Yu with a smile, "Try this tea, is it good? It's Longjing tea brought from the West Lake. I tasted it and it tastes good." Yes." Picking up the blue-green painted pastel Ge Kiln tea bowl in his hand, he took a sip of tea and praised, "My nephew doesn't know how to taste tea, but only knows that drinking it is delicious. If my uncle has more, I will reward my little brother." Nephew is half a catty." Meng Lai smiled and ordered someone to pack the tea.

Xinran opened her eyes wide, "Five Cousin, you also love to drink tea? Didn't you say that besides drinking, you drink plain water? Second Aunt also said your famous saying: For tea, it is better to drink less than to drink more, and it is better to drink less." Don't drink!" Zhong Xing said seriously, "Xiaoxin, you don't know, my brother will be an elegant man from today, and tea is a must." His pretending to be serious is very funny, making Xin Ran purse his mouth laugh it out.

Mrs. Zhong also laughed from ear to ear, "This child!" Then he turned his head and said to Youran with a pleasant face, "Good boy, since your cousin is in a hurry, you should stop other things for the next two days, and I will show you first." It's good for you to do it." Youran hurriedly stood up and wanted to agree, but Meng Lai said slowly, "No, firstly, the word "Wu Yatou" is really shameful, and secondly, "Wu Yatou" is not in good health. How can you do it for two days? Are you not exhausted?" Zhong was choked enough, and hurriedly said, "But..."

Meng Lai interrupted her gently, "It's okay, our third girl learns Mrs. Wei's calligraphy, and the calligraphy I write is clean, peaceful, elegant and graceful, but I can barely see it, and the fourth girl is as careful as a hair, so let the third girl and the fourth girl write together." Just copy one copy according to Brother Yu's share." Yan Ran and An Ran quickly stood up and responded, "Yes!" Meng Lai turned back and smiled at Zhong Xing, "It stands to reason that it is inconvenient for the daughter of the boudoir to spread the handwriting. Cousin, it’s okay, but it can’t be passed on outside.” Zhong Xing hurriedly agreed, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn’t dare to show it, thanked Meng Lai, Yan Ran and An Ran, and sat silently on the side.

Meng Lai asked Mrs. Zhong, "Sun Juren will be arriving tomorrow, has the place been cleaned up?" Mrs. Zhong was stopped by the question for a moment, and Mother Liu, who was watching clearly, hurried forward and replied respectfully, "It's already been cleaned up." It's a secluded small courtyard in the east courtyard. It's tidy, with all the daily necessities, and there are two little maids who can read a little bit to take care of it." Meng Lai nodded, "Very good."

Yue Ran was curious, and asked, "Father, is the teacher recommended by Lan Shan Chang of Bailu Academy? Or is it a candidate?" Meng Lai smiled and said, "Yes, this Teacher Sun recommended by Lan Shan Chang is very methodical. There are many Juren and Scholars, but they are very famous teachers."

Yue Ran smiled and said, "That's it, my sisters and Brother Yu are blessed, with such a good teacher teaching, I will make great progress tomorrow." Xin Ran mumbled softly, "He is teaching how to raise people and teach us how to be a boudoir." Aren't women overqualified?" An Ran quietly tugged at Xin Ran's clothes, signaling that she could not speak anymore, and Xin Ran was also afraid that Meng Lai would get angry, so she dared not speak any more.

Meng Lai looked at Xinran with some amusement, "What Xiner said makes sense. If it's just for you, it's really unnecessary to invite a teacher like Sun Juren. I invite Teacher Sun to study in the Imperial College for your elder brother. Although it is good, there must be an experienced teacher at home. Your eldest brother should not be careless next spring; secondly, it is for Brother Yu's schoolwork; You must study hard in the future, and don't disappoint your father's expectations of you." Sister Yueran quickly stood up and agreed.

An Ran has always been careful, and noticed that Teacher Sun's identity is unusual, and asked Meng Lai, "Daddy, everyone can be an official, why is this Teacher Sun still willing to teach?" Meng Lai looked at An Ran with satisfaction, "An'er He is very careful. Yes, in this dynasty, one can confer an official position by judging a person, but the top-ranked ones are the top-ranked ones, and being an official is just a low-level official. What is the future? It is all over the world, and its reputation is all over the world, and it is not inferior to those who are officials."

He added with a leisurely smile, "What's more, Mr. Sun has a lot of money. I'm afraid that the eunuch of a seventh-rank county magistrate is not as rich as his wealth." There is no way to teach children to read, the quality of their teaching is good, and what they teach is either Juren or Jinshi. It is the same in modern times. Whichever middle school has a good score in the college entrance examination, parents will squeeze their heads and put their children in it. No matter how high the school selection fee is, someone will pay it; of course, those who can afford to send their children to private schools in Europe are another matter.

Meng Lai smiled, "This child, the little girl's family, thinks about money in everything." The little money fan, holding up the account book, is elated, how can he look like a daughter of a noble family?Don't you know that a gentleman is ashamed of money?

Hearing the stringed songs leisurely, he knew the elegant meaning, "I listened to my father's teaching, I won't say money in the future, how about calling it Aduwu?" While talking and laughing, the family was very happy. The girl serves snacks for a while, and tea for a while. She doesn't know how to love him.Zhong Xi looked at Youran from time to time, seeing her smiling like a flower surrounded by his father and sisters, his heart felt a little moved, fortunately, I saw her again today, my aunt's cousin, we will see her often in the future.

At noon, Mrs. Zhong said that the children were still young and they were cousins, so they could eat together. Meng Lai agreed, and the Yueran sisters ate Chinese food with their parents and cousin. Youran is either eating yellow sheep with great concentration, or civet cat with great concentration, Zhong Xiao secretly sighed, he is really a heartless snack.

After the meal, Zhong Xing found a chance when no one was around and said softly to Youran, "Brother Yu didn't know that Fifth Younger Sister was not in good health, so I'm really sorry." Youran felt a little guilty, was she not in good health?If she is not in good health, are there any girls in this world who are in good health?At the moment, there was only a few smirks, a few words of squeak, and fled in despair.

Sending Zhong Xi away, Lei Ran is told: the teacher is coming, and you must prepare to be a good student; the eldest sister's wedding is approaching, and there are many affairs in the house; the uncle and the eldest aunt's family are going to Beijing to marry, and they are coming soon; the old lady Meng's natal nephew's family People are coming to attend the wedding, and it is coming soon; there may be a close family member coming from Tai'an's hometown. In the future, there will be many things in the family, and I am afraid that there will be places where I can't take care of her. I have to learn to take care of myself.

The Meng residence is not very big, how can it accommodate so many people?Leisurely got a headache, she had a premonition that she would have a very uneasy life, and the Meng family would have a very uneasy life.
