Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 44 Goodbye He Jitong

"Grandmother, the son is here." He Jitong is older than Yan Wei, but the second girl is the younger sister. Their marriage has already been decided, and the only thing left is the marriage.It's just that Yan Wei is always very unnatural to this future brother-in-law.

"Old lady." He Jitong entered the room and saluted.

Yan Wei took Jun'er and the others to salute, and then Qing Huan also bowed to the sisters.He just felt a line of sight stop on him.

Qing Huan lowered her head, only the black top of her head could be seen.

He Jitong withdrew his gaze, and said to the old lady with a trace of regret that he couldn't explain, "Mother asked me to give the old lady a New Year gift."

"My mother-in-law is too polite." The old lady said with a smile.

After He Jitong sat down, Chun Zhi led the tea with his hands gently and without making a sound.

Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "The people around the old lady are really good. These maids look so decent, and the second girl must be even better."

"Not to mention, the second girl grew up beside me since she was a child. She knows the cold and the hot, and she will grow up soon. I also feel reluctant to part with her, my old lady." Mrs. Yan said with a smile.

He Jitong's eyes flashed, feeling ridiculous.What kind of person that second girl is, my mother has already let people check it out, if she is not the only girl in the Yan family, I really don't like it at all.

He Jitong picked up the teacup and looked at the little girl standing opposite him from the corner of his eye.

It's a pity that I am a little younger, and I can't wait.

Madam Gao covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Isn't this girl looking forward to a good home when she grows up? The second girl is the eldest, and the other girls will follow suit in the future." She sized up the girls standing there. ,

That straightforward gaze made the girls blush with embarrassment.

"Look at me, I'm talking nonsense." Mrs. Gao smiled and slapped her mouth lightly.

The second wife looked at Mrs. Gao fervently, if it wasn't for the old lady, she might have already opened her mouth to say something.But the old lady warned the second wife with her eyes.

If the fourth girl is to marry a good family, the old lady still needs to nod.The second wife is well aware of the conditions of her natal family.If it is said that the family of the rich is fine, but the girls who go out like Yan's house are not looking for the families of the rich.Marry high and marry low, the second wife has a deep understanding of this.To be able to become the second wife is completely high-flying, even though she came with a lot of dowry.But the sister-in-law in her own mansion is cautious about herself.Isn't it because the status of the Yan Mansion is not comparable to that of the merchant's family.

It can be said that the second wife has been planning since the birth of the fourth girl.Others may only love their sons, but the second wife has too high expectations for the fourth girl, and the second master sometimes avoids the fourth girl's position in the second wife's heart.

"The girls are still young, and their faces are tender." The old lady said lightly.

Mrs. Gao also knew that she was not very happy, and was thinking of saying something to make it up.Hearing himself coughing suddenly with his younger brother, he immediately remembered the purpose of his trip.

"A few days ago, my mother went to check the date, and Master Huiyuan said that the tenth day of the first month of the coming year is a good day. No, let me send it over." He said and took a red sticker from the maid.

The old lady took it over and took a closer look, then smiled and said, "It's really Master Huiyuan. When I was young, I also met Master Huiyuan."

Master Huiyuan is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, and it has become increasingly difficult to meet guests these years.Being able to measure Master Huiyuan's days shows that Uncle Ruyang's residence attaches great importance to this marriage, and secondly, it also shows his ability.

You must know that the old lady met Master Huiyuan back then, and originally wanted to rely on that side of friendship to ask Master Huiyuan, but she couldn't even pass on the words.

It's just that the old lady is so rotten in her stomach that she won't say anything about it.

When Mrs. Gu Ergao heard this, the contempt for the Yan family disappeared a lot in her eyes.Mrs. Gao has always been dissatisfied with her younger brother's marriage. It's not that there is no better one from her husband's family.

It's just that the father agreed, and the younger brother agreed. Although the mother's face was not very good, she only asked Mrs. Gao to send the day, which meant that she agreed to the marriage.

Mrs. Gao knew that she was not clear about some of these things.

"Is this day a little rushed?" He Jitong asked.

The eldest wife rushed to chat and said with a smile: "The dowry has been prepared, son-in-law can rest assured."

The old lady was displeased, and glanced at the eldest lady, and then said: "When the second girl was born, the dowry had already been prepared. The second child and his wife also helped a lot, although it is a little urgent these days. But since The marriage has been settled, and my old lady is not unreasonable. Just this day."

"Thank you, old lady." He Jitong said calmly.

The old lady nodded, and said to Yan Wei: "Your father is in the outer courtyard, and you brought your son to meet him in the outer courtyard." The old lady can make a decision, but on the face of it, she has to tell the elder.

Hearing this, He Jitong got up and glanced at Mrs. Gao.

Madam Gao smiled and said, "I'll sit down for a while, you go first."

Qiu Ye drew up the curtain, Yan Wei gave way and waited for He Jitong to go out before leaving the house with his younger brothers.Yan Jun's small body followed behind and disappeared behind the curtain.

Qing Huan was nervous, seeing Xia Cao's figure flashing out quickly, she was relieved, and continued to listen to them with her head down.

"I see that the old man in the house has also reached his age. I wonder which lady has been appointed?" Mrs. Gao asked after they went out.

The old lady's eyes flashed, and she glanced at the eldest lady.

The eldest wife moved her lips, but said nothing.

On the contrary, the second wife said with a smile: "The eldest nephew has ambition in his heart and wants to start a career first and then start a family. Although I have watched over the past few years, the old lady loves her grandson so much, so she just closed her eyes."

Mrs. Gao looked at the second wife carefully and said with a smile: "This is the second wife of the family."

The second wife hurriedly stood up and said, "Exactly."

Mrs. Gao said strangely: "Why do you seldom see the second wife? How rude you were just now."

The second wife laughed after hearing this, she had a problem with her identity.Neither the old lady nor the sister-in-law is willing to take herself out to socialize.Besides, which of the wives and wives in other mansions will remember me.

The old lady was annoyed in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "My wife here is a good helper in managing the accounts, and many properties in the mansion need her to look after. Now that I am busy, I seldom go in and out of the mansion."

Mrs. Gao just said 'oh'.

The second wife lowered her head, wishing she could find a place to get in.

Qing Huan heard a laugh coming from beside her, and seeing the pale face of the fourth girl from the corner of her eye, she couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.My own mother was said to be just an accountant in front of many sisters, and then thinking about the background of the second wife, it is no wonder that Mrs. Gao said "Oh" meaningfully.

No wonder Xia's mother often said that when you read, you can say less, and more words will make more mistakes.

Sometimes a word can make people distort and exaggerate.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of snowdrops was heard outside the curtain.

The old lady smiled and asked Qiu Ye to invite her in.

The curtain was lifted again, and the second girl who had obviously been well-dressed came in, but Mrs. Gao and other sisters had preconceived ideas, so people didn't pay much attention to her dress.

"Greetings to grandma." The second girl curtseyed.Greetings to the first wife and the second wife, and when it was Madam Gao's turn, she blushed slightly.

It seems that someone told her who it was.

Mrs. Gao smiled and stood up to support the second girl: "From now on, we will be a family, just call me sister. You don't need so many courtesy, and you look so good."

The second girl nodded, and obediently pushed her away to the sisters.

Even though the third girl didn't like the second girl in her heart, in front of Mrs. Gao, she still led the sisters to salute the second girl decently.

The second girl naturally gave a half-respect gently.

Such a harmonious scene of sisters made the old lady smile and narrow her eyes.

Madam Gao also noticed it, thinking of the person her mother had mentioned in her ear before her arrival, she couldn't help but take this opportunity to look carefully at the girls.

Qing Huan's attire today is not outstanding, but it's not plain either, on the contrary, she looks similar to the sisters.Mrs. Gao has never met Qing Huan, and she is about the same size as Miss Wu, and she is blocked by other sisters.

Mrs. Gao didn't dare to look at it blatantly. After looking at it for a while, she couldn't see why, so she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Qing Huan handed the cloak in her hand to Ling Lu, and Ling Lu took it and hung it next to the charcoal basin to dry.

Xia Cao laughed and said, "The young master told the girl to go find him as soon as she comes back."

Qing Huan looked at Xia Cao.

Xia Cao shook her head.

Qing Huan raised her eyebrows, looking mysterious, not knowing what Jun'er was up to.Although she felt tired and wanted to rest, Qing Huan was very patient with Jun'er.

Qing Huan stopped the vines who were about to follow.

Xia Cao is not in the house, I think Jun'er doesn't want others to know.That being the case, it's better to go alone.He also ordered Mancao to prepare dinner early.

Qing Huan lives in the east wing of the courtyard, while Jun'er lives in the west wing.

The door is closed.

Qing Huan knocked on the door.

After a while, they opened the door, and when Yan Jun saw that it was her sister, she hurriedly opened the door to let her in.

Qing Huan entered the room and saw Jun'er looking out as if she was a thief, then she closed the door and came in.

"Xia Cao is learning to make new clothes for you with Aunt Liu in the main room, and Man Cao and Ling Lu are preparing dinner." That means the maids will not come over.

After hearing this, Yan Jun smiled and pulled Qing Huan to the bed.

Walking to the bed, Yan Jun climbed onto the bed and took out a lump from under the pillow.

Qing Huan frowned, she knew the things around Jun'er the most, how could there be such a mess.

At this time, Yan Jun opened the wrapped veil.

"Where did you come from?" Qing Huan grabbed Jun'er's arm and asked sternly.

"That's not it." Yan Jun uncomfortably tried to break away from Qing Huan's grip.

Knowing that she was being reckless, Qing Huan quickly let go of her hand, calmed down and said softly: "Good boy, my sister is in a hurry. Tell my sister quickly, where did you get this jade sachet?"

What Yan Jun took out was the jade sachet that Qing Huan had asked Mancao to send to the second girl.

It's just that this thing suddenly appeared on Jun'er.
