After receiving the letter that Zhang Feng'e was pregnant, the old lady said to go to Dajue Temple to fulfill her vow.First, Lin Fei was one year old, and then it rained for several days, so it was delayed.Now that the weather is fine, the old lady brought it up again.

When talking about it, Lin Jun was the first one to say that she was going, but she didn't want to. She ate an extra piece of melon on the first day, got up several times in the night, and woke up the next day in a bad mood. The old lady dared not let her go out. The wife stayed at home to look after her.

Just as I was about to go to Qianqian Street, I bumped into the driver of Zhen Guohou's Mansion.Seeing the marquis of Zhen Guo following him on horseback, Lin Jue and Lin Yan knew that the car was the old lady Ji, so he ordered his family's car to stop and let the car of the Marquis of Zhen Guo's mansion go first.

After hearing the boy's reply, the old lady thought for a while and asked, "Which town is the residence of the Marquis?"

I don't seem to remember it.

Lu Huixian smiled and said: "No wonder the old lady forgot, their family used to be in Beijiang, and they returned to Beijing because the old master was gone. They live in Mao'er Hutong, only two streets away from our house. .”

"So it's their house." The old lady opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Zhen Guohou was the guard of the northern border in the previous dynasty. When Taizu conquered the world, he surrendered Taizu in order to protect the people of one side from war.Over the years, he has been guarding the northern border.

Even though he seldom goes to Beijing, the aristocratic family still knows about it.It's not surprising that the old lady knew about their family, and Lu Huixian just took it for granted.

Since Lin Daiyu had never heard of it before, she couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Is it because the old Marquis is gone, that's why you came back?"

It means that Zhen Guohou is from Shenjing, and his family came back to observe filial piety.

Lu Huixian knew where she was going after thinking about it for a while, she shook her head with a smile, and said, "Marquis Zhen Guo is from Qingzhou."

Since you are from Qingzhou, why don't you go back to Qingzhou to keep your filial piety?Lin Daiyu guessed in her heart that there might be other reasons.Their brother and sister are still in Xiaoli, haven't they also come to Kyoto?Lu Huixian didn't say anything, and she didn't ask.

Lu Huixian paused for a moment, and then said: "When the old Hou Ye left, the son was only fourteen, fearing that no one would discipline him, the Taihuang issued a decree of grace."

The Marquis of Zhen Guo is the guard general of the northern border. If the princes of one side have no decree of kindness, even if the son wants to observe filial piety, he must guard it in the northern border. He never returns to his hometown to observe filial piety.

This is Jiao Daiyu.

Daiyu nodded.

The old lady smiled and hugged Daiyu in her arms, and asked, "Where is their old lady from?"

Lu Huixian said: "It is said to be the orphan of the former Youzhou guard."

Those of the older generation all remember that when the Taizu passed away and the Taishang Emperor ascended the throne for the first time, the Mongols violated the territory repeatedly, and Youzhou fell several times.At that moment, people were panicked, thinking that they would not be able to hold on, but they finally survived.

If there is no Zhen Guohou's Mansion, I'm afraid I can't hold it.However, there are five old Hou Ye father and son brothers, but he is the only one left.

Therefore, in exchange for the hereditary title of Marquis of Zhen Guo.

Outsiders only know envy, but they forget that the Luo family was bought with their lives.

The old lady sighed and said nothing.No one wants to look back on such a tragedy.Lin Daiyu belongs to her daughter's family, and she reads books only to understand things and know how to advance and retreat, not for scientific research. She reads books every day, just following her own preferences.Hearing the words is also depressing.

So he stopped talking about Zhen Guohou's mansion, and instead talked about Zhang Feng'e's affairs. He had been calculating for several months, what to prepare, when to send them, etc., and he could not describe them all.

At this time, it is the time when the pomegranate flowers are still in bloom and the fruits are still young. Although there are no flowers to enjoy and no fruits to eat, it is another scene.And because of the hot weather, I was not in a hurry to go home, and only played around in the afternoon.

After returning to Xuancaotang, Hongxiao gave her a letter, "Miss Cui sent someone to send a basket of grapes over in the afternoon. If the girl is not here, I will send a bunch of grapes to the old lady, the master, and the second master. , Grandpa sent an extra one, we have one left for ourselves, washed it and put it in a crystal jar, do you want to eat it now, girl?"

Daiyu opened the letter and read it. When she asked, she didn't understand what was said, so she nodded casually.

But to fulfill the agreement that day, he invited her to their house on the seventh day of the first lunar month, just to beg for a coincidence together.Daiyu laughed while watching.

Yao Huang and the others didn't go out, so they were all around Xiangcheng to ask questions. Du Qingniao was sitting on the branch line, heard Daiyu laughing, and knew it was a good thing, so he asked: "What are you laughing at, Miss Cui? But what joke did Miss Cui say?" Son, the girl said it too, and taught me to have fun too."

Daiyu smiled and said, "In a few days, we'll go pick lotus pods."

As soon as the words fell, Xiangcheng immediately said loudly: "Girl, let me follow."

Before saying a word, Hongxiao walked in with a crystal jar, just when she heard this, she raised her head and looked at her, but said nothing, but Xiangcheng felt guilty, and said: "Girl, take Honghao and me. .”

Hongxiao just laughed, turned her head and gave her an angry look, and said: "How old is he, he still thinks about playing all day long." While talking, she asked to wash her hands so that Daiyu could eat grapes.

Daiyu threw the letter and washed her hands with water, and said with a smile: "Who said before that this time you go out to play, the red silk will stay at home to watch the house, and next time you will change to the red silk and go out, and you will stay at home to watch the house?"

Xiangcheng blushed, and said: "Then I will take care of the house at home, and Hongxiao will follow to serve the girl." But she was very reluctant, and she said it reluctantly.

Hongxiao squeezed a grape into the crystal jar, tore off the skin, and said: "Forget it, it's so hot, and I don't like to go out. You should wait on the girl and teach me how to use it for a day."

There was a smile on Xiangcheng's face, and she tried to hold it back, pretending that she couldn't see it.Daiyu smiled secretly, but she pretended she didn't see it, and said to Hongxiang, "Go if you are told." The smile on Xiangcheng's face disappeared immediately.

When I went to school the next day, I talked to Lin Jun, and Lin Jun was also happy.She is impatient, and she will take Daiyu to see Lu Huixian immediately.Because I was in school, it was hard to hold back.After school, she kept urging Daiyu.

No, but Lu Huixian was not there, and went to the Jinshou Hall, Xi'er said: "The Marquis of Zhen Guo sent two women to pay the old lady well."

Lin Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, their family had no relationship with the Marquis of Zhen Guo, so why did they send someone here?Then he asked, "Is it the Marquis of Zhenguo in Mao'er Hutong?"

Xi'er laughed and said, "Miss, you are joking, isn't the residence of the Marquis of Zhenguo located in Mao'er Alley?"

Lin Jun was also puzzled, and asked, "Who is here?"

Xi'er only pretended that the two of them didn't know Zhen Guohou, so she said in detail, "It's the mother next to the old lady of Zhen Guohou's mansion. It turns out that their old lady and our old lady are from the same family, because the two families are far apart. , In addition... It's gone again. These old relatives don't know each other, so they haven't been in touch. The other day when I went out, I met our old lady. When we talked about it, I remembered this. They said that the old lady married far away, and they haven't seen each other since they left the cabinet. When I went back to my natal home, I always thought about my sisters. Among the old sisters, there are not many left, so I said, when I see the old lady, I just think that the old lady is still there."

Both Lin Daiyu and Lin Jun's eyes widened in astonishment, in disbelief.Xi'er couldn't help laughing, fearing that the two of them would not be able to get up and down, she hurriedly held back and said: "This is also a common thing. Our family is considered to have a small population. There is a family with a large population. Counting the number of relatives, the number of days and nights cannot be counted, and there are always a few relatives who are far away and have lost contact with each other."

The two of them don't know this truth, but most of those families are from poor families, so they are embarrassed to communicate with each other.If you don't associate with me, I don't want to put my hot face on my cold ass, so I broke up.Families like them rarely do not communicate with each other.But Xi'er said so, and they couldn't tell the difference.Just thinking about the situation just now, he felt ashamed again, so he changed the subject and asked about Lin Fei.

Xi'er glanced at the western clock, and said: "It's time to wake up, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep in the afternoon, and I will fall asleep at night." After saying a few words, she called Haitang, and told her, "You go Take a look and see if Brother Fei is awake, if not, wake up too, it's time for lunch."

Lin Daiyu waved her hand, stopped Haitang, and said to Lin Jun first: "The old lady is here to see guests, why don't you pass on our meal. I'm afraid sister Zixian will come back in a while, so we can eat together. By the way, Let's talk about it, so we don't need to make another trip." Seeing that Lin Jun nodded, he turned to Haitang and said, "Let's go and see him." After saying that, she stood up, and Lin Jun also stood up.

When the meal was ready, but Lu Huixian hadn't come back yet, Lin Jun said, "I'm afraid the old lady stayed."

Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "Today the old lady is fasting..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the woman in the old lady's yard came over to answer, and Lin Jun really hit the mark.

The two ate a good meal, coaxed Lin Fei for a while, and sent him to take a rest. Lu Huixian just came back.

As soon as Chu Qi went to Cui's house, Lu Huixian didn't say whether she agreed or disagreed, and scolded the two of them together, saying: "One by one, no one has a conscience. If there is a good thing, I will never think of me."

That is to say, when the day came, the sedan chair and accompanying maids and women were still arranged, and they were still worried, so they asked Lin Yan to send them over.

The sedan chair stopped outside the Chuihua Gate, and the old lady Cui's wife came to wait on her.The two came here often, they were familiar with the way, and they were not cautious. They didn't need to be led by others, and they walked in front hand in hand.Before entering the door, I heard talking and laughing in the room, and the old woman said: "My wife and grandma are all here, I don't know what joke the girl said again, the old lady is so happy."

Lin Daiyu and Lin Jun also laughed.

This time I only invited a few girls of a similar age from relatives' families. The two of them arrived early, and the others had not yet arrived.

After chatting with Mrs. Cui for a while, the old lady sent them to play.The three came out from the back door, and before going out, Cui Jiayi said: "Sister Cheng sent someone yesterday, saying that she is not well, so she can't come today."

The two families have already set a date, and they will marry the second girl Cheng in October.Daiyu already treated her like a sister-in-law, so she was a little worried when she heard this.During the Dragon Boat Festival, I was ill once, and now I am not well, and I don't know what to do.

"What happened? Did you invite a doctor? How did you say it?"

Cui Jiayi laughed, and said: "It can be seen that you are from your family, why don't you treat me like this?" Seeing Daiyu getting anxious, she continued: "I heard from my sister-in-law that I stood in the hot field for a long time this afternoon. Huizi, it's not a serious symptom to catch the heat, and you've already recovered after taking the medicine. I wanted to come, but my wife didn't allow it."

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but her doubts increased.Her body was not good when she was young, and she would get sick every three days, but now that she is older, she is much better.In a climate like this, one would never get hot because of standing in the hot ground for a long time.What's more, the second girl Cheng didn't look like she was suffering from a lot of illnesses, I'm afraid there were other reasons.Since Grandma Xiaomao said so, she could only listen like this.

He didn't speak for a while, and when he was about to reach the door, he could vaguely hear sobs and sobs from the garden, and the cries were also mixed with the voice of talking, "...I can't see each other, I finally saw each other, but I can't even speak, the pain in my heart..."

Daiyu and Lin Jun only thought they were some kind of daughter-in-law, but seeing Cui Jiayi's face changed, they knew it was not.After all, it was the Cui family's housework, and the two of them were not nice to outsiders.Just thinking about how to escape, Cui Jiayi pulled the two of them back.

Seeing that the three of them came back again, the old lady knew that there was news at home.After all, he was so sophisticated, he didn't show his face at all, he laughed and teased the three of them, and said: "You have sharp noses." It was the kitchen that sent Poria cocos cake, which was still steaming hot, "It's rare to make it today. Once, I said I would send it to you, but you found it yourself."

While talking, she beckoned Lin Daiyu and Lin Jun to her side, and personally brought cakes for them to eat.

On the other side, Hualou went out with a mother for a meeting.After a while, the mother came back and said a few words to the grandma.The eldest grandma frowned, and whispered a few words, and then the mother went out through the back door.

A little maid came back from outside and said, "Miss Han is here."
