Chapter 120 Gather
Second Aunt Yan looked at her, gently brushed her clothes, and sighed again: "Forget it, this is over. He doesn't like me, and I still don't like him!" Poor farmer! I won't say much about this girl. I've been annoyed by myself. I'm such a daughter, and I can't wrong her. She is your sister. You have to know that she is close. When your mother was there, she didn't treat my family like this! After all, your surname is Fan. If you marry someone, you can't live without your mother's family. What's really the matter? Your mother's family has to support you! Well, you're busy. I won't say much. This girl has bought it. How much money do you want? You can ask me to take it!" Second Aunt Yan said and jumped off the kang neatly. Mrs. Fan endured her anger and sent her to the door of the flower hall. Looking at the second aunt Yan walking away briskly, tears came out of her eyes. She hurriedly pressed the corners of her eyes back to the flower hall with a veil. Yuyan made a cup of hot tea and looked at Mrs. Fan, who lowered her head and sobbed, persuaded her, "The girl wants to open up."
"This is not something we don't want to open up. What can we discuss with Xiao Wu now? Xiaowu didn't say anything, but he kept it in his heart! However, the second aunt just doesn't understand. She is an elder. What do you think I can do? You can't go back, can you? She has such a temper that she refuses to eat at all. Mrs. Fan said with red eyes. Yuyan looked at her and persuaded her for a long time, "Why don't you talk to the fifth master?"
"Looking for her? As soon as she mentioned Yueting, she looked at you and didn't talk. If I talked to her about this, she would definitely look at you again. She was so thoughtful. How can I guess? Mrs. Fan put the cup heavily on several times. Yuyan quickly took the cup and whispered, "Why don't you talk to the master?"
"When did my father take care of these household chores?"
Yuyan lowered her eyelids and retreated. Mrs. Fan stared at the curtain of the flower hall and was distracted for a long time. She weakly ordered Yuyan to call the steward in and ordered her to send two more girls.
Li Xiaoyao came back in the evening and lay in the middle of the bath and looked at the book. Wisteria brought a bowl of red date soup in. Li Xiaoyao sat up and took the soup. The wisteria was empty and said with a smile, "The newly bought girl was delivered today. She sent six first, and then sent two more. Hearing Yuyan, she was ready to wait on the Yueting girl. Of."
The soup in Li Xiaoyao's hand stopped at his mouth and stayed for a moment before drinking the soup as if nothing had happened. He handed the bowl to the wisteria, rinsed his mouth, picked up the book and continued to look at it. The wisteria carefully looked at it for a while. Seeing that Li Xiaoyao didn't seem to hear it, he dared not say more and retreated his hand.
Kaiping Mansion is much colder than Taiping Mansion. After October, the first snow fluttered. It snowed all night. The next morning, Shuiyan personally came to invite Li Xiaoyao and Lv Feng to enjoy the snow. As soon as the three people had fun for less than two quarter of an hour, Su Zicheng sent someone to call Shuiyan and Li Xiaoyao back to work. By the way, he sent Lu Feng to the Tiger Camp and said something.
The first snow fell all day and night. Although the snow was not big, it also accumulated half a foot thick inside and outside the city. Li Xiaoyao calculated the days, and Sister Zhang and others were about to arrive at Kaiping Mansion. I don't know whether such snow is good or not on the road. Thinking about it, I was a little worried. I simply sent Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun to ride a horse and picked it all the way. .
There are still four or five days away from November. Sister Zhang finally rushed to Kaiping Mansion. Jiang Shuncai and Zhang Tiemu lost several laps. Their faces were black and their lips were dry. If it hadn't been for Zhang Tiemu's face, they would have been round everywhere. They really couldn't tell who it was. Cheng Wang was already dry and thin, and he looked haggard and tired. Li Xiaoyao ordered Zhang Gouzi and Zhao Liushun to take them to bathe and wash first and have a good rest. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later.
Sister Zhang was dressed in men's clothing and was also extremely thin, but she was much thinner. She got off the horse at the gate and entered the second door with the car. Aunt Sun squeezed in front of Li Xiaoyao and rushed to Sister Zhang. Looking at the black and thin Sister Zhang, before she could speak, she cried first with red eyes. Madam Fan was happy. Busy directing the woman to step on her feet and unload her luggage, the second aunt Yan affectionately pulled the third aunt and others to ask for warmth. Yueting rushed to hold Mingwan and spoke happily.
Li Xiaoyao stepped back a little and looked at the lively reunion in the second door with a smile. Everyone almost said that Madam Fan led everyone to settle in the next door. Sister Zhang smiled and greeted Mrs. Fan: "You go first. I'll talk to Xiaowu." Mrs. Fan smiled and answered. Mrs. Sun was next to Sister Zhang and didn't want to leave. Li Xiaoyao asked them to go into the half-mu garden.
Aunt Sun held Sister Zhang. Li Xiaoyao tilted her head and looked at the two people and smiled, "The eldest sister is finally back. Brother Erhuai is very anxious. Every once in a moment, she sent someone to ask you if you had come back. A few days ago, it snowed. Brother Shui said that he was so anxious that he had not slept all night and kept scolding God that his eyes were not confused. What was going on at this time? Snow!" Mrs. Sun couldn't stop laughing. I don't know if Sister Zhang blushed. Her face was so tanned that she couldn't see it. She only raised her hand and patted Li Xiaoyao again: "It's still so funny!"
Li Xiaoyao turned the topic with a smile: "Originally, it's best for the eldest sister to live here, but when you think about it, it's the most inappropriate to live here. How can you live in first without going through the door? Sister Fan and I discussed it. The eldest sister lived in Fan's house first and lived with Sister Fan. Later, she got married from the Fan family. Sister Sun moved out and moved here to live here. Sister Sun got married from our house. Does this suitable?
"Alle!" Sister Zhang promised cheerfully. Aunt Sun tried to look generous, but her face turned red like red. Without saying a few words, they arrived at the gate of the half-mu garden. Without Li Xiaoyao's instructions, the wisteria quickly asked people to prepare hot water and picked out a plain new dress from Li Xiaoyao's big boxes and skirts and waited for Zhang Da. My sister took a shower and changed her clothes.
Sister Zhang came out uncomportunistically, raised her sleeves and said in embarrassment, "Xiao Wu, this dress is slippery, how can I wear it freely with my coarse cloth?" Li Xiaoyao jumped off the kang, pulled Sister Zhang back and forth. He turned his head and looked at Mrs. Sun's exaggerated praise and said, "Look, our eldest sister is dressed like this, this style, this momentum, this full of official wife!"
"No! It's much better than Brother Erhuai!" Aunt Sun followed, and Sister Zhang stretched out her hand and slapped Li Xiaoyao: "Talk to my sister well! Look, how can you do this job in this dress? This silk is a good silk. It's so slippery that I can't hold it!" Li Xiaoyao pushed her to sit on the kang. Liu Yun knelt down in the first half to help her take off her shoes. Sister Zhang was shocked, put her feet in, waved her hand and shouted, "Girl, go ahead, go ahead, these shoes are my own..." Li Xiaoyao pressed her, Liu Yun smiled and shrugged his shoulders to help her shoes. Wisteria aimed at Li Xiao Yao quietly motioned to listen to Zhu and others, listened to Zhu hold the tea tray, bent his knees and presented it to Sister Zhang. Aunt Sun quickly reached out to take the cup, held it to Sister Zhang with both hands, and said seriously, "Girl, please use tea."
Sister Zhang looked dizzy and kept waving her hands. Li Xiaoyao smiled and sat next to her on the edge of the kang. She turned around and motioned the wisteria. The wisteria met and quietly exited the room with the little girl full of the house. When Sister Zhang saw that everyone had gone out, she exhaled gently, took the cup from Mrs. Sun's hand, held it and looked at the delicate jade-like cup carefully. She took a sip and took another sip before she drank it. Aunt Sun took the cup, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. Sister Zhang also drank it, which was relieved. Come on, he turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao didn't say anything. He leaned on her shoulder and looked at her with a smile. Sister Zhang turned her head, carefully looked at Aunt Sun standing in front of her, and reached out to pull the rough and filial piety clothes on Aunt Sun's body. Aunt Sun said with a smile, "The eldest sister is so thin that she can wear Xiao Wu's clothes. Xiaowu's clothes are all good. This one you wear is called brocade, which is frighteningly expensive!"
Li Xiaoyao moved, reached out and took Aunt Sun to sit down. She turned her head and looked at Sister Zhang with a smile and said, "Sister, we are going down the mountain now. Brother Erhuai has done everything, and wants to earn a seal for you in the future. Now it's different from before. You don't have to work, just care about the girl and family servants. " Sister Zhang looked at Li Xiaoyao and suddenly reached out and touched Li Xiaoyao's cheek: "Master, I'm just like a dream. You don't know. On the way, I only dreamed that when I first got on the pen rack in the west mountain, I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep. The fifth master went up the mountain and we were full. Now, it's like a dream." Mrs. Sun wanted to laugh, but she didn't laugh, but tears fell down. Li Xiaoyao was also said with some emotion by Sister Zhang. She quickly smiled and changed the topic: "Well, let's not talk about this, how much business!"
Sister Zhang came to her senses and hurriedly turned around to find the burden she dared not leave day and night: "Where's my burden? Alas! Where's the burden?" Mrs. Sun hurriedly took the bag from the kang and handed it over. Sister Zhang took the burden and opened it layer by layer, revealing a series of silver tickets, a few pieces of silver and a few strings of copper coins inside. Sister Zhang nodded and pushed the silver ticket together with the bag to Li Xiaoyao: "I shared the two thousand taels of silver you gave me before I left. Sixty-four taels, the rest is here. You order it. Li Xiaoyao looked down at the neat silver tickets and the little money in the bag. After thinking about it, he reached out to wrap up the silver tickets, turned around and put them on the kang, and said with a smile, "Sister, thank you for your hard work. I have something to discuss with you. It's almost November now. In the twelfth month, everyone is busy with the Spring Festival and no time. " Sister Zhang returned the silver ticket to Li Xiaoyao, breathed a long sigh of relief, easily shook off her skirt and sat cross-legged, looked at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Tell me, listen, I have something to discuss with you."
