Chapter 296
Bai's dry praise a "really a good boy." Instead, an Shi turned around and handed over two brocade boxes from the maid's hand. He said with a smile, "the child is smart when he looks at them. This is my mother's and me. Don't give up my cousin."
No matter what's in the box, this one alone can show that an Shi is a polite person. At least he can do his best in face. Leisurely nature won't give each other no face, at the moment life servant girl take over, smile to an Shi way "Lao younger sister trouble."
After staying with his mother for a while, brother Ping began to wriggle around and leisurely handed him to the nurse. "Take advantage of the good weather, take him to the yard." Nanny takes over pingge'er and takes him out.
Leisurely full skirt, this formally entered the theme "aunt this time the whole family to Beijing, but what's the matter?"
On hearing this, Bai said with a smile, "it's not your big brother who passed the examination last year. The master said that his time is up, so he will come to the Chunwei examination next year. It's not that I want to come a few days ahead of time. It's not easy to walk in winter. He hasn't been far away. Our family are worried. They want to come here together to be a companion and see the scenery of the capital. "
Leisurely said with a smile, "I see. My cousin won the examination at a young age. He is really young and promising."
As soon as Bai was about to boast about his son, he heard an's reply: "I don't dare to be my cousin, not to mention that my cousin was one year younger than my husband. And my cousin's brother, who won the first prize at the age of 16. When I was in my mother's family, I often heard my grandfather praise Lin as a brilliant talent with both literary and martial arts skills. What's rare is that he is modest and polite, and he is not arrogant because he became famous when he was young
Leisurely, seeing that the manners of an's conversation were different from those of Bai's mother and daughter, she couldn't help looking up at her. Now after hearing this, she asked, "who is the lingzu? Have you ever seen my brother? "
"My grandfather used to be a bachelor in Hanlin Academy. He worked with Lin Zhuangyuan for some time, but now he's gone home," she said with a smile
Leisurely said with a smile, "the academician who became an official, is it because his father is an Cheng ren'an?"
An Shi nods to answer a way "exactly, originally cousin sister-in-law also knows my grandfather."
"When I was in my mother's house, I helped my younger brother prepare birthday gifts for lingzu, so I had some impression. I remember my younger brother said that lingzu was one of the few people in the Hanlin Academy who devoted himself to academic research. He could be called a gifted scholar Leisurely pause, and then said, "I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is actually the granddaughter of an adults, it's really getting closer." Just don't know each other is Di is Shu, said Shu out of it, see bearing is not like. If he came out and glanced at Bai's mother and daughter leisurely, who would be willing to marry his granddaughter to such a family? Xu Jiazong used to be brilliant, but now he is in the end. When Mr. an became an official, he was also a senior official of four grades. And she remembers that there are some good relatives in the family, even the common women, who don't have to marry to such families
If you can't figure it out, you put it aside and asked with a leisurely smile, "since you are here to prepare for the exam, can you find a place to live?"
Before Bai's mouth, an replied with a smile, "we also know that it's a bit abrupt to come here rashly. Originally, my husband and I planned to come to live in my aunt's house in Beijing. But last month, my uncle suddenly ordered the outgoing governor of Hunan, and my aunt also took office. We and the messenger happened to be in two places. We didn't know about it until we came to the capital. Although the servants left by my aunt also said that the yard had been cleaned up and let us just stay. It's just that when the master's home is not here, how can we bother him so much that we have the honor to come to my cousin's home. "
Hearing this, leisurely mind quickly turned around, thinking of the Imperial Palace newspaper I read last month, it turned out that the cousin's uncle was the original right servant of the household department, Mr. Pei Boyuan. The right chamberlain of Hubu is a senior official of the third grade, while the external governor is a senior official of the second grade. Think of here, leisurely more strange, Ann's family is so strong, how can marry to the Xu family. She was puzzled, but she said with a smile, "what's the matter? Relatives should have helped each other. Don't say that there is no one in your aunt's family now. Even if there is someone, there is no one who let your husband's relatives stay and let you stay with your mother's relatives. Let outsiders see, don't you laugh at me and your cousin. " Then asked, salute still on the carriage did not lift down, chagrin way "look at me, patronize the gossip for a long time, unexpectedly forget the business."
Then the busy man went to help carry the luggage, and told Liu Ye, "go and see them in person, and pack up the Songtao courtyard and peony garden in the northwest corner for my aunt's family."
Turning to Bai's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he said, "this Songtao courtyard used to be the place where our ancestors studied when they were young. It's better than the pure and bright hall. It's suitable for reading. There's also a corner door leading to the street. It's convenient for cousins to get together with classmates. There is a small courtyard next to the courtyard, in which various peony flowers are planted. There are still many blooming flowers at this time of the year. It's suitable for my aunt and my cousin to live in
Although he is snobbish, he knows that he is under the eaves of others, so he says with a smile, "that's really bothering my niece and daughter-in-law."
An Shi sent a close servant girl to pack things with Liu Ye. After a while, the servant girl took two old women to carry a box and put it in the middle of the hall. An Shi pointed to the box and said with a smile, "this box is full of earth instruments from Jinzhou. It's nothing valuable. I just put it in the salute. I hope my cousin doesn't have to refuse. "
Bai didn't know that her daughter-in-law had prepared such a big box for the Shen family. She immediately felt that her daughter-in-law was also a bit of a black sheep, but she didn't speak well in front of outsiders, but she didn't look very well.
Leisurely see each other said sincerely, then smile and say, "in this case, I'm partial to the good things of my aunt." She thought, fortunately, there is an understanding person in the family, so that they can keep up with each other. Bai Shi hears leisurely thanks of is oneself, in the heart just feel a little better, connect busy way "should, so far of come, always can't empty hand door."
Smell speech, an Shi sighs in the heart, since this reason you all understand, how didn't see you do some practical things, she this is what life, spread up such a mother-in-law and small sister-in-law? Turning to see leisurely smile at her, I feel a little more comfortable. Fortunately, this cousin is a reasonable one. If she is a little more mean, I'm afraid she would have been dissatisfied?
