Volume Two

2.48 It’s just my sister-in-law’s private consideration.
"Second sister, what did your elder sister-in-law say to you when you came here today?" As soon as she returned to her residence, Xichun couldn't wait to pull Yingchun to ask. She didn't even notice that as soon as she opened her mouth, her second sister's eyes suddenly turned red. "Besides, there are two sisters-in-law and Suyun in the car, why don't you squeeze in together?"

"You all can go out. We don't have to wait here anymore. I'm still a little tired from the journey. Let's take a rest." Before Yingchun could answer, Tanchun immediately interrupted the two of them and cleared everyone out of the entire residence. , and then sat down next to Yingchun with a smile and asked, "My sister-in-law still has some matters to deal with, so she arranged for Suyun to go to the Li family's old house and did not follow her back home."

At this time, Sanchun failed to find his own independent "residence", but lived together in Jia Mu's courtyard, crowded in the west room of the five-bedroom main house; Jia Mu herself lived in the east bedroom, separated from her The blue gauze cupboard with the plywood door is Jia Baoyu's "territory". Therefore, they will naturally not have "their own" girl. Since they are going to talk about private topics at this time, there must be no outsiders present.

Logically speaking, after they returned, they must report the situation to Jia's mother. Fortunately, Wang Xifeng had just married and invited the host to invite the family members of Jia's family to the banquet. Li Wan then found an opportunity to go out and took Sanchun with him. , at this time, Jia Mu should have finished her meal and watched a play in Sister Feng's courtyard to relieve her boredom. Otherwise, even if the three sisters wanted to talk privately, they might not have the space.

"Sister-in-law didn't say anything to me." Yingchun has never been a person who can hide things. She lost her mind after being asked a few words by her two sisters, but she still stayed awake at the end and refused to reveal anything, but it looked like She could get stuck on a sentence, and when she spoke, her cheeks turned red and her head wanted to bury her head in her chest. Even a fool knew she wasn't telling the truth.

"Fourth sister, didn't you ask me on the way, what gift did Brother Zhou give you? I saw that there were a lot of dolls or toys in the bag, why don't you go take a look?" Although she is only one year younger, Tanchun's However, her emotional intelligence is much higher than that of Xichun, and even worse than that of Yingchun. After she realized that her second sister was in trouble, she immediately "arranged" it for her fourth sister.

"Really?" , pick a few fun ones first, you can’t compete with me.”

"Second sister, what's going on?" Tanchun gave Xichun a meaningful smile, and Tanchun watched her go out before turning around and sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Yingchun's arm and asking, "Don't say it's okay, since you came back After that, even a fool couldn’t be fooled by my expressions along the way, do you think I look like a fool?”

"The third sister is the eldest sister-in-law." Yingchun, who has never had any opinions, finally decided to listen to her sister's opinion. But she knew that the third sister has always been ambitious. "The eldest sister-in-law said, do you want to talk to Brother Zhou? Well, that’s Brother Zhou.”

"Marriage matter?" Tan Chun immediately grasped the key point and continued to ask with a strange expression, "Sister-in-law should not only have said this, right? Let's not talk about anything else. Marriage has been the order of parents since ancient times. Today's matter No matter what, it can’t be said on the table, let alone arranged.”

"My eldest sister-in-law said that although I was born in a wealthy family, I am still a commoner. Brother Zhou's place is just right, um, just right." Yingchun also said that her face became redder and redder, and she couldn't continue to say a few words.

"The concubine of the Duke's family, the noble son of a poor family, is a perfect match, and both of them are suitable." Tan Chun nodded immediately, "In this case, at least it makes sense on the surface, but the eldest master, there is no - huh? No, There is no need for a great master, you only need to tell the ancestor about the matter, and she will surely arrange it. If it comes from the perspective of the family, the ancestor will have no problem."

"Yeah!" Yingchun nodded.

"Then there's only one problem." Tan Chun hugged his sister with a smile, "What if the master doesn't agree?"

"Sister-in-law said, it's actually not difficult to do." This time, it was Yingchun's turn to look strange. She looked at Tanchun up and down a few times, and said in the puzzled eyes of the other party, "If father doesn't agree, you can say that he is arranging it for you." , I think it will not be difficult for the master to tell, so that the father will naturally have a comparison. It is very likely that even if he insists on disagreeing, the government can make arrangements."

"Yeah -" Now it was Tanchun's turn to blush with shame, and simply buried his head on Yingchun's chest, "What are you talking nonsense about, second sister? How old am I? Second sister is four years older than me, now is a good time, I He's only a few years old, even if it takes forever, Brother Zhou is already nineteen, how can he delay it any longer."

"My eldest sister-in-law said that Brother Zhou only won the martial arts examination after all. The next spring will not be until the year after next. By then, the third sister will be 14 years old. It is the right time to discuss the marriage, and it is not non-negotiable, not to mention that he always values ​​fame. , those who want to make progress, and there are no elders around, no one to urge or arrange." Yingchun said Li Wan's judgment honestly, "It's just that these things are just the sister-in-law's private considerations, I hope the third sister won't Nonsense."

"According to what my sister-in-law said, the ancestors agreed to come down and arrange it. The marriage will take at least a year or even a few years." After all, Tanchun is ambitious, and the shame caused by the "surprise attack" by Yingchun just came quickly. After dispersing, his judgment returned to normal, "These are just the right times to inquire carefully so that we can make a more accurate judgment." "Sister-in-law thinks so too." Yingchun nodded, and then looked uneasily at the people who were playing around outside. Xichun, who grows stuffed toys, said, "It's just something that happened today. It cannot be spread out under any circumstances. Otherwise, we may have some connections. Please explain it clearly to Fourth Sister."

"Second sister, don't worry. Fourth sister is just young, not stupid." Tan Chun smiled and hugged the silly sister beside him. "She is usually strict. Anyway, we have already discussed it. This time we said we were going I went to Wang Hanlin's courtyard and got along well with Grandma Wang. Speaking of which, although Brother Zhou only has one girl by his side, Sister Qingwen is..."

"I've met our ancestors!" Just as he was saying this, a maid's greeting came from the door. The voice was none other than the "left-behind" maid Amber. The two sisters looked at each other and then both chose to shut up, "Ancestors, three of you The girl has come back. Seeing that you were having fun at Mistress Lian's place, she didn't go over to say hello."

"Oh, the three girls are back? I was about to ask them if they were so happy playing outside that they forgot about me, an old woman!" Mother Jia's happy laughter immediately came from the yard. Obviously, this Second Wang Xifeng’s host did a good job.

"What did ancestor Hun say? Who dares to go past you?" Tanchun and Yingchun looked at each other, mouthed the words "Don't forget the answer agreed with my sister-in-law before leaving", nodded to each other and stood up. , went out and greeted her, "I just got along with Grandma Wang, so I stayed a little longer."

Not to mention the "grandparent-grandson relationship" between the Sanchun sisters and Jia Mu, at the same time, the Zhou family yard.

"I've met the young master!" However, Su Yun, who had just "left" for less than an hour, returned to the Zhou family.

"Okay, have you made all the arrangements at your old house?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile, "I specially hired two people from Shilipu to help look after the house. If anything happens in the future, you can just come here. Okay, just arrange for Uncle Sun to come over there from time to time."

"Compared to this, I am actually more concerned about the young master's thoughts." Su Yun said with a smile, "There is nothing going on at the old house, but what do the young master think of what our grandma asked today? Our second girl is very suitable. "

"Damn it, your grandma can't convince me, what else do you want?" Zhou Yang smiled and knocked her gently, then returned to the inner house with his arms around her waist, "How long will it take you to go back this time?"

"The slave only needs to serve our grandma. As long as grandma doesn't speak, it doesn't matter how long the slave stays. It just depends on how long the master wants." Entering the room, Suyun smiled and helped Zhou Yang sit on the chair, and then knelt down. , his head resting on his young master’s thigh and he smiled.

"I really hope you don't leave, so as not to have no one to wait for you when you get up every morning." After Zhou Yang said with a smile, he heard a resentful "cold snort" coming from behind him.

"I dare not steal sister Qingwen's job." Su Yun was so amused that she laughed out loud. As a heir of poetry and calligraphy, the Li family gave birth to a son, and she was "trained" in Rongguo Mansion for several years. Her emotional intelligence was not What a little girl like Qingwen could do, she didn't forget to get up and stand aside while talking.

"It's good that she doesn't want me to serve her." Looking at Qingwen who was standing aside with an aggrieved face but holding the tea tray, Zhou Yang smiled and took a sip from the teacup, "I've known it all day long. I thought about it, but it didn't make me mad to death."

"Giggle--" Seeing Qingwen's expression of loneliness, her beautiful eyes about to shed tears, Suyun smiled and gave someone a roll of the eyes, went up and hugged Qingwen and said, "Okay sister, I can only do this this time. We will stay for two days and will go back the day after tomorrow. Grandma will only have Sister Suyue with her. If I am not here, there won’t even be a night watchman."

"Hmph!" Qingwen then realized that she had been frightened again just now. She put down the tea tray angrily, "broke away" from Suyun's arms again, threw herself into the arms of her young master and gave her a "blasting hammer", which only made her whole body laugh. There is a happy atmosphere in the living room.
