The He family was originally from Baishitan in the southern part of Jiangsu Province. Because He Hongwen’s grandfather, Mrs. He, is serving as the Taipu Temple clerk, this branch is convenient for living in the capital. He’s house is a three-in-one mansion, Minglan came before Several times later, I learned that the old couple of He family, the second master family, and the mother and son of He Hongwen lived in the mansion.
The sun was quite hot at the end of June. Minglan was sitting on the right side of her grandmother. She shook her big cattail leaf fan along the way. One fan played the fan and two of them were cool. It took more than half an hour for the carriage to arrive. The servant wife of He's house knew the grandparents of the Sheng family early, and greeted them with a smile as soon as they met, and guided them into the flower hall of the Houyuan with their arms and umbrellas.
He’s family is farther away from the imperial city, and there are trees everywhere. As soon as you walk into the back garden, it feels shady and cool. Minglan exhales heat, presses her veil on her cheek, and asks Danju to check her makeup. In a mess, Dan Ju whispered: "You just put on a layer of balm, you didn't even touch the powder, it doesn't matter if you sweat a little."
Xiaotao glanced sideways at Minglan's delicate skin with almost invisible pores, "Don't worry, girl, I don't even have sweat."
Passed a hanging flower door, bypassed the courtyard of the main house, and walked into the back flower hall. The windows on all sides of the hall were open. Among them, a large round table was placed on a large round table with a variety of fruit snacks, and a rattan soft chair on both sides. A copper basin was placed on the floor of the willow-leaf small door of the tuyere, with some ice cubes in it. The ice melted and the breeze was cool, and the room was refreshing. The old lady and Minglan were refreshed at the same time.
I saw Mrs. He sitting in the middle, standing up to welcome the guests with a smile: "My old sister, body is better! Come, let me get your pulse first!" The old lady Lasheng asked the old lady to open her wrist, and said, "How can you be the master? The guest is here, you are not invited to sit down, and you are not going to have tea. On the contrary, people want to see the pulse!" What? I'm afraid that people don't know that you are a girl from the famous doctor Zhang's family?"
The few female relatives standing around laughed together. A middle-aged woman wearing a chiffon jacket embroidered with goose yellow flowers and birds and a light plain thread-pick skirt came over and gently supported Turning to Mrs. He, she smiled and said: "The old lady doesn't know, my mother-in-law, I am thinking of you at home, and it is so easy to look forward to you."
Speaking, he asked the grandparents of the Sheng family to sit down, and the familiar maidservant offered a warm Jieshu soup; Minglan bowed down to salute the second wife of He, then turned gently, and stood quietly to the side He Hongwen's mother saluted, and then sat down on the rattan kudzu chair at the bottom.
After everyone sat down, He Hongwen’s mother got up and bowed to the old lady Sheng for blessing. The voice was like a weak wind: "Thanks to the kindness of the old lady, my sister’s family now lives in the courtyard. Yes, I thanked the old lady for my sister's family here." The old lady Sheng waved her hand gently and resigned her thanks: "It doesn't matter, we are alive, we always have to help each other."
He Muwen was weak, and she thanked her several times, her face turned pale, Mrs. He quickly asked the maid to help her sit down.
Mrs. He's body is slightly plump, her jaws are round, and she is very thoughtful in speaking. She is a capable person who has been in charge of housework for many years. She smiled eagerly and said: "I heard that there will be a happy event in your house recently, here I am. Congratulations first! Looking back, old lady, don’t hesitate to have a glass of wedding wine with us!"
The old lady Sheng was quite relaxed in He Mansion and joked: "As long as you have enough He Yi, it doesn't hurt to come!" Mrs. He smiled and scolded: "You could call those gold and silver A Duwu a few years ago. Yes, now the older you get, the more greedy you are! But how good!"
Ms. Sheng stared deliberately: "You can get a double share based on your words!"
"Your wedding wine is too expensive! Daughter-in-law, let's not go anymore!" Mrs. He also pretended to be tempered.
Second Mrs. He stood beside her mother-in-law, slapped her fan lightly, pursed her lips and smiled: "Mother, don't worry, daughter-in-law can pinch it, knowing that there must be a wedding in Shengfu that won't fit you! At that time, no matter how much money you have to pay, you will be very happy!"
There was a point in the words, and the eyes still swept over Ming Lan, who was sitting at the bottom; Mrs. He and Mrs. Sheng both smiled.
The place where Minglan was sitting was facing the wind. It was very cool. Just a little bit of heat dropped from her body, she couldn't help but feel fever again after hearing this, she lowered her head and refused to speak. The mother He, who was sitting opposite, was ashamed to see her , Could not help but whispered: "Second Sister-in-law!" Then walked over and gently patted Minglan's shoulders, and said softly: "Good boy, it's cold here, sit down in a different place."
Ming Lan stood up obediently and sat opposite He's mother, and then He took Ming Lan's hand and asked in a low voice. She is in good shape recently, but she is still doing embroidery work. With her eyes gone, Ming Lan felt He Mu's dry and cool palms, feeling very comfortable to press, and answered softly one by one.
While he asked questions, she looked at Ming Lan carefully, and saw that she was wearing a pale willow cyan soft knee-length singlet, underneath a snow satin moire pleated skirt, and a dark green thin brocade makeup. In Bijia, her black hair was pulled up by a depraved Zan'er, her hair half-dangling, with soft bangs covering her forehead, only a pair of hairpins were hung with a pair of emerald inlaid with southern pearls and gold and silver. The small-handled white jade-wrapped crescent comb is like a tender little green onion, reflecting the red face of the pink rose, which is delicious and wants people to take two bites. Mother He liked it in her heart, and when Minglan became more affectionate and friendly, she whispered a few important points for summer attention.
The old lady Sheng looked sideways and saw that He’s mother and Minglan were so close to each other, she felt relieved and comforted; she looked up at Mrs. He next to her, but saw that although her face was also smiling, There were a few gloomy colors in his eyes, as if something was on his mind.
Two very tall gardenia trees are planted outside the flower hall. At this time, it is a good time to bloom. The leaves are emerald green and the flower shape is white. With the breeze, the fragrance will be sent into the flower hall softly. The female family members were tasting fragrant tea, and listening to the old sayings of the two elderly people, Mrs. He's humor from time to time made everyone feel very happy.
There was a burst of laughter in the flower hall. As he said, Mrs. He talked about He Hongwen who went out to buy medicinal materials. She was quite proud in her words. She just said to Mrs. Sheng,'Brother Hong should say kiss. 'At that time, a woman hurriedly reported: "Aunt Cao's wife is here."
Then, as if there was a sudden cold wind in the hall, the smile on Mrs. He's face gradually ceased, and her eyes swept over the next He mother, who lowered her head and moved her lower body a little uneasy.
Mrs. He nodded slightly as she watched her mother-in-law, and then said loudly: "Please please."
Ming Lan raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Sheng. She looked as usual and didn’t care, so she sat down firmly. After a while, a woman opened the curtain and two women came in. One is currently The woman is about fifty years old, her face is aging, even if she wears a thick powder, she can't hide the rough black and yellow skin color, but her eyebrows are somewhat similar to He's mother; the latter woman is about seventeen or eighteen, low. He hung his head, bowed his head, and looked very thin. He was dressed in silver-red brocade clothes, except that the dark gold embroidery patterns on the neckline and cuffs had faded. It was obviously worn-out clothes. The exposed hands looked thin and shriveled. .
The old lady He looked unhappy, and sat there without saying a word. She didn’t mean to introduce at all. Mother He had to stand up by herself, and said to the old lady Sheng Sheng slyly: "This is Brother Hong and his aunt. This is his aunt's cousin, beautiful in small print."
Mrs. Cao quickly pulled her daughter to salute Mrs. He and Mrs. Sheng. Mrs. He waved her hand, and asked Mrs. He to take a seat in the tea fruit. After a while, Mrs. Cao immediately moved her mouth. I praised the beautiful and bright scenery of the flower hall, and I would like to congratulate my second wife for cooking, and the heat-relief soup is delicious and the tea fruit is also delicious, and I rushed to ask Cao Jinxiu to come forward to serve the old lady He, exchange tea, and pick fresh fruits. , Blindly flattering, but Mrs. He didn't pay much attention to it, and her expression became a bit fierce.
Mother He saw, she became even more anxious not to speak; even Mrs. He didn't speak much anymore.
Then Mrs. Cao was still chattering. Seeing that Mrs. He didn't care about her mother and daughter, her words were getting less and less. Mrs. He turned her head and talked to Mrs. Sheng: "When it's September, Ming girl will It’s time to get a hot cake, can you figure out who will add a hot cake?"
The old lady Sheng smiled and said: "Of the old sisters, you are the most blessed. It is naturally you. I wonder if you are willing?"
Mrs. He had planned for this a long time ago, and she said with great joy after hearing the words: "It's good to dare, don't worry! I will prepare a treasure hairpin, I must be worthy of your precious granddaughter!"
When Mrs. Cao saw that they were talking to themselves, she didn't put her mother and daughter in her eyes at all, she couldn't help but sulked in secret, and immediately turned her head towards Ming Lan. Ming Lan couldn't dodge, and asked her to grab her arm. I only heard a giggle: "Oh, it really is a lovely man carved out of jade! Look, this eyebrow, this figure..."
The old lady Sheng frowned when she saw her frivolous speech and Ming Lan was involved, but Mrs. Cao was still saying, "Tsk tusk, it looks great! To say that our family is splendid, it’s a beautiful thing that everyone praises. It’s a pity that the girl’s life is not good! I went to that ghost place to suffer at a young age, and now people are not very energetic. If they can treat them with good food and drink for a while, they will not lose anyone!" Go to touch Minglan's clothes.
