married daughter

Chapter 151 Tingting's Marriage

The third wife's joy and anger were all on her face, Ruan Yunting smiled and presented the mahogany carved peony flower box prepared in advance. "Third wife, today is your birthday. Ting'er specially embroidered this pair of handkerchiefs to celebrate your birthday. Although the handwork is rough, it cannot be compared with the eighth girl, but it also represents my heart. Look at the three My wife will not give up." After a pause, he glanced at the plum vase that the thrush had placed properly, and said with a smile: "There are many plum trees in Xinlan Juli, so Tinger didn't give you one, so you won't blame me. "

The third wife took the wooden box, opened it, glanced at it casually, and handed it to Chang's mother behind her. She smiled and said: "How could it be? They are all from my own family. How can I care about such trivial things."

It's just a rotten handkerchief, how dare you take it out?The third wife is very angry, but she can't show it in front of the eccentric old thing.

The third wife didn't hear it, but Ruan Yunting's words were very meaningful in the ears of others.

Ruan Yunting went to the backyard early in the morning to pluck plum blossoms for the old lady.The Jingsi Garden is not close to the back garden.There are plum blossoms in the courtyard of the third wife's Xinlanju, but the third wife didn't expect to bring a branch to the old lady, but Ruan Yunting took a long way, and the snowy road is extremely difficult.

The eldest lady picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide the emotion in her eyes.

When Xu Xiangwan looked at Ruan Yunting, he felt more and more admiration in his heart. Maybe he had a good relationship with Xu's daughter, so he didn't have time to go to Ruan Yunting's place, and when he looked at Ruan Yunting, he became eager. .

The maid moved to Jinwu, and Ruan Yunting, Xu Xueqi and Xu Xiangwan all sat next to the heating kang, chatting with the old lady about some homely things.The old lady ordered Shu Cui to add two more charcoal stoves and put them under the feet of the three of them. The silver charcoal was burning well, and after a while Ruan Yunting warmed up, her face was puffed with powder, adding a bit of softness and beauty.

The eldest lady smiled and glanced at Ruan Yunting, then at Xu Xiangwan. Among the five girls trained this time, Xu Xiangwan and Ruan Yunting were the most outstanding in appearance. They had the same Sai Xue skin and the same impeccable skin. The appearance, the same soul-stirring eyes, but Xu Xiangwan's phoenix eyes are more seductive, while Ruan Yunting's bright eyes are charming and agile, but they are also stunning beauty that women can't take their eyes away from.

The emperor chooses his concubine, not the queen. To put it bluntly, he is looking for a concubine. Naturally, he just needs to find a beautiful woman. Compared with them, the third-bedroom girls are not enough. The eighth girl is too proud, the ninth girl is mediocre, and Qi girl is too Innocent.

Looking at the third younger siblings, the eldest wife felt a little dark in her heart, she had long since disliked the domineering appearance of the third wife.At that time, she will cry.Besides, if the eighth girl was allowed to enter the palace in such a domineering way, she would not be able to assist the imperial concubine, but would cause trouble all day long, which would not be enough to cause trouble for the imperial concubine.

Thinking that Xu Xiangwan and Ruan Yunting are doing things properly, the eldest wife has higher hopes for them.

Not long after, the brothers and sisters of the third room arrived together, saluted the old lady one after another, and gave birthday presents to the third wife.The third wife accepted the gift with a smile on her face, and the second grandma, Wang Yuanshuang, entered the door and said with a smile, "Old Ancestor, the auntie is back, and she is going to the Pine Age Hall now. The small opera singers are also ready, and the show begins." How is it in Guangbo Pavilion?"

"Okay, okay, just figure it out, Guangbo Pavilion is ready, let's go there together." The old lady was very satisfied with Wang Yuanshuang's smile. Now she has delegated a lot of authority over the affairs of the mansion, and most of them are handled by Wang Yuanshuang. .

"Yes, the grandson-in-law will tell you to go down now." Wang Yuanshuang went down with a smile on his face.

The old lady smiled and took the eldest lady's hand: "Shuang girl is a quick-witted person, and thanks to her help, my old bones can be at leisure."

The eldest lady smiled proudly, and exchanged a few words with the old lady.

The third wife saw it very unpleasantly.

The family hasn't been separated yet, and the old lady and Wang Yuanshuang have the final say on everything. If the family is separated in the future, won't she let go of power, and no one will listen to what she says?The old lady was too eccentric, and she didn't ask her to decide anything.

After thinking about it, the eldest aunt Xu Caiyue brought a young girl into the door. The girl was wearing a jacket and skirt with agarwood makeup and flowers, her hair was tied in a bun, and two jade hibiscus were inserted obliquely. She looked fresh and soft. The posture is soft and beautiful.Ruan Yunting naturally knew this woman, she was Xu Caiyue's youngest daughter, Jun Sanniang, who was sixteen this year, and had already made an appointment with the third son who was married to the servant of the household department, and they were about to get married next year.

After the two parties saluted, the old lady smiled and said: "Brothers and sisters, let's go out and play, don't be bored with us in the house, and the Guangbo Pavilion will open later, if you like, come and watch."

There is no requirement in the words that everyone must come.

The third wife was angry again.

Ruan Yunting was naturally happy to rest. She was new to Kuishui, and now her stomach was hurting, and she felt uncomfortable after standing for a long time.After saluting, he left the main room with everyone, went to the outside room to get purple fox fur and put it on, put on the hood, and put on clogs on the porch.Opening the plywood curtain, a gust of cold wind blows in the face, the purple fox fur is shiny, and it is blown to one side.Looking up, I saw the flying catkins falling down.

"It's snowing." Ruan Yunting murmured.

Xu Ningxia wore a brocade cotton cloak painted with colorful silk and gold. When she saw the fox fur on Ruan Yunting, she felt suffocated and went out braggingly. She didn't care that Ruan Yunting was standing at the door with half of her shoulder bumping against Ruan Yunting's body. , a stagger that bumped the person.

Ruan Yunting was taken aback, and held on to the door frame to stabilize her body.

Ruan Yunlan came to her and asked in a low voice, "Sister, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, you..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard Xu Ningxia say: "It's just a fox fur. What's there to show off? The ancestor rewarded you to wear it. It's because you have to push a cart in the wind and snow to do hard work in winter. You are afraid of getting sick." No one has the time to talk to you, but you dragged it up instead, it's really shameless."

Is this to vent her anger on behalf of her mother?Ruan Yunting laughed, and said: "What the eighth girl said is that the ancestors loved me so much that they gave me this fox fur. I think the eighth girl only goes to the Xijiaoyuan every day, and doesn't have to go to places like the trial courtyard. You don't need to travel far, and naturally you don't need thick fox fur to keep you warm."

Ironically, she is a frog in a well kept in a deep boudoir?Xu Ningxia stomped her feet angrily, and said in a cold voice: "Someone has been punished, so I'm ashamed to take it for granted! You are not a rascal dog raised by my Xu family. You come to me to show off your might, and you don't even piss yourself. According to!"

"Eighth Girl, be careful." Ruan Yunting's voice was gentle and charming, with a smile on her face, "Ting'er is naturally not as noble as Eighth Girl, but my ancestor's love for me was completely out of family love, so how could Eighth Girl call it a pet? Miss Ba is really insulting the old lady by saying this, and she is also insulting the imperial concubine. It’s fine to just say this in front of our sisters. No one will care about the girl. But if the old lady and ladies listen to it, or let Granny Cao listened, but the girl is the one who has to be careful."

"You..." Xu Ningxia pointed at the tip of Ruan Yunting's nose, she didn't know how to answer for a while, she just said: "Doing physical work, you can also develop a pair of sharp teeth, I don't know if this sharp teeth can help you less tired!"

As soon as the words were finished, a strong wind blew away the snow hanging from the cypress tree behind Xu Ningxia.A large pile of snow fell from the sky, hitting Xu Ningxia's head and body, and fell into her collar. She was so cold that she screamed: "Ah, what is this!" She hurriedly hopped her feet to pat the snow on herself.

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed when they saw it, and Ruan Yunting also smiled.Xu Xueqi who was behind her said in a low voice: "Look, even God doesn't like to see her domineering." Xu Xueqi always expressed her hatred for people very clearly.

Xu Chengming was the oldest among the crowd, so he couldn't watch his younger sisters quarrel, saying that this was in front of the guests again, and Jun Sanniang was still there, so he hurriedly said: "It's freezing cold, we don't want to go anywhere, Let's go to the side hall to drink tea and chat."

"Alright." Everyone agreed and went to the side hall together.

In the main room of Pine Age Hall.

Let the juniors disperse, and screen out the servants, only the old lady, eldest wife, third wife and aunt Xu Caiyue are left in the room.

Xu Caiyue stayed by the old lady's side, holding her arm and said, "Mother, I'm coming back today to celebrate the third sister-in-law's birthday, and I'm here for business."

The old lady smiled knowingly, and raised her hand to get the teacup, Xu Caiyue put her hand down naturally.

"What's the matter?" The old lady asked first, and without waiting for Xu Caiyue to speak, she said again: "I guess, maybe Mrs. Jun and Da Furen have mentioned to you about Brother Yan's stepmother?"

"Mother knows things like a god." Xu Caiyue smiled.

The eldest wife and the third wife looked at each other without speaking, wanting to see what the old lady said.

The old lady said: "Madam Jun, do you have a favorite candidate?"

"Yes, mother's guess is really accurate. Mrs. Jun is looking for our sister Ting."

"Sister Ting?" That old thing knows how to pick!The old lady's expression remained unchanged, she put down the teacup slowly, and then said: "You also found out that our family is now preparing for the next year's draft. Sister Ting was favored by the imperial concubine, and now she is on the list of being selected. It's being taught."

"But mother, Sister Ting offended Lu Guogong's mansion. Although few people in Daliang City know about it, there are still many people who know about it. It is true that she is now being punished in the trial court. Wouldn't the emperor mind this matter? The chances of being selected will be much lower then, besides, Sister Ting's background is also there. Brother Yan's character and family background are also worthy of Sister Ting's, marrying Brother Yan , Sister Ting can't suffer."

"Are you here as a lobbyist for your mother-in-law?" The old lady looked at her daughter with a half-smile.

Xu Caiyue blushed, quickly waved her hands and said, "No, where would it be? I'm just thinking about Sister Ting."

The third wife heard the words and said: "Don't wrong my sister-in-law, the old ancestor. I think she also meant well, and I also think what Caiyue said is very reasonable. Brother Yan is my son-in-law, so I naturally understand his temper. After the incident with Xiu'er, Yan Ge'er's words and deeds have also been seen by the ancestors. I believe that Sister Ting's marriage is a blessing rather than a disaster. I'm talking about Ting'er making such a joke now. Brother Zuo's successor, it can be regarded as flattering her."
