The Yuan family is the maternal family of Zhu Dong and Zhu Tang. The two brothers and sisters have been here countless times.
After some pleasantries, Zhu Dong said with a smile: "We are here to spend the day in Yuan's Mansion, just like usual, no need to be rigid."
After the elders of the Yuan family dispersed, Zhu Dong, Yuan Rui and others went to one place, while Zhu Tang went to talk to his cousins.
In this generation of the Yuan family, there are still more boys than girls. The older girl Yuan is married, and now there is a fifteen-year-old second girl from the Yuan family and a ten-year-old third girl from the Yuan family in the house.
Miss Yuan Er, whose only name is the word "shuang", is the direct daughter of Yuan Hai's family and the direct cousin of Zhu Tang. She is several months younger than Zhu Tang and has extremely beautiful appearance.
Miss Yuan San, whose name is only one month, is the legitimate daughter of the fifth family. She was younger and couldn't speak at the moment, so she followed her cousin and listened to what they said.
Yuan Shuang was born into a beautiful woman. She was pampered by her family since she was a child, so she was inevitably a little arrogant. However, in front of Zhu Tang, Yuan Shuang had always been gentle and pleasant. She smiled softly and said: "The princess has not been to Yuan's house for some time.
I have always been thinking about the princess!"
Zhu Tang smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, so why don't you call me princess? Just call me cousin."
Then he sighed and said: "Now that I have passed my haircut ceremony, my mother-in-law said that I am a eldest girl and I am not allowed to leave the palace at will. Today, it was only after I begged that I came with my eldest brother."
According to Daqi custom, when a young girl gets her haircut, she should take care of her marriage, and it is really not appropriate to run around anymore.
Yuan Shuang didn't know what she thought of, and her pretty face turned slightly red. She glanced at Zhu Tang quickly and said softly: "Has aunt already selected a county horse for my cousin?"
Zhu Tang didn't blush shyly, and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law said that she will keep me for two more years, and the marriage is not urgent for the time being. But the eldest brother's marriage should really be taken care of. According to my mother-in-law's wishes, I will have to do it before the year."
Set it down."
Yuan Shuang's pretty face turned a deep red.
"Cousin," Yuan Yue murmured in a low voice: "Why are you blushing when we talk about His Highness the Grandson's marriage?"
Yuan Shuang was a little embarrassed, glanced at Zhu Tang quickly, and then glared at Yuan Yue: "You are the only one who talks too much."
Yuan Shuang puts on a show in front of others, but bullies her little cousin a lot in private.
Yuan Yue had never liked this cousin very much, and it was inconvenient to get angry in front of Zhu Tang, so she pouted and stopped saying anything.
Zhu Tang felt very sorry for Yuan Yue, and said with a smile: "It's better for men to get married, and for girls to get married! Xiao Yue'er is still young. After a few years, you will understand what it's like."
Yuan Yue opened her eyes wide and asked curiously: "Cousin, who will my grandson cousin marry as his concubine in the future?"
Yuan Shuang smiled and looked slightly nervous.
Zhu Tang glanced at Yuan Shuang calmly, and pretended to say casually: "A few days ago, my concubine summoned the female relatives of the Yu family, the Wang family, and the Zhou family into the palace. All three families have ladies of the right age. Look at my concubine.
With her appearance, I like the girl from the Yu family the most."
Yuan Shuang: "..."
A bolt from the blue, nothing more than that.
The annoying little cousin Yuan Yue continued to stab her in the heart: "I heard that the second girl of the Yu family is well-read in poetry and books, has outstanding talents, and is born with an elegant appearance. No wonder she caught my aunt's eye!"
Zhu Tang responded with a smile, but Quan Dang didn't see Yuan Shuang's despair.
Cousins who have grown up together since childhood are very familiar with each other.
Yuan Shuang secretly liked Zhu Dong and had been looking forward to becoming the grandson concubine. Unfortunately, her father, the queen, mother and concubine had already made up their mind that the concubine would never come from the Yuan family again. It can be said that Yuan Shuang was excluded from the role of grandson concubine from the beginning.
outside the list.
Everyone knew it, but Yuan Shuang herself was stupid and kept having sweet dreams!
Today, she specially came to Yuan's house, just to wake up Yuan Shuang and put aside her unnecessary extravagant hopes as soon as possible.
"Cousin, why are your eyes red?" Yuan Yue blinked: "My cousin's marriage has been settled, aren't you happy for my cousin?"
Yuan Shuang glared at Yuan Yue fiercely and swallowed back the tears that had reached the corners of her eyes: "The wind and sand got into my eyes just now and it hurt a little. I'm going to wash my eyes before I come back."
Yuan Shuang couldn't hold it any longer and left first.
Zhu Tang sighed secretly in his heart without showing any expression on his face.
Yuan Yue smiled sweetly at Zhu Tang: "Cousin, you came here today specifically to tell my cousin about this!"
Zhu Tang laughed and reached out to touch the small bag on Yuan Yue's head: "Xiao Yue'er has grown up too."
Yuan Yue smiled sweetly and sweetly: "It's not difficult to guess. My cousin always said she was my cousin. She used to follow her fourth uncle into the palace as soon as she entered the palace. However, in the past six months, her fourth uncle has no longer taken her with her.
She has entered the palace. It can be seen that the adults know what she is doing."
The only one who didn't count was Yuan Shuang himself.
Zhu Tang couldn't help but smile and tapped Yuan Yue's nose with his hand: "Okay, don't tell anyone else about this. And don't make fun of your cousin Shuang in the future. She cares about face the most."
Yuan Yue reluctantly responded: "My cousin usually bullies me the most. However, I am not a petty person. I will not laugh at her."
After chatting for a while, Yuan Yue asked curiously: "Cousin, among the companions, there is one who is the youngest, the most handsome, and has the prettiest smile. Who is he?"
Zhu Tang smiled and said: "His name is Shen Xu, and he is the son of General Shen. He is mediocre in reading, but very good in martial arts. The eldest brother and the others are no match for him. The eldest brother has six companions, and the one he is closest to on weekdays is of course Cousin Rui.
.However, the eldest brother likes Shen Xu very much. He said that Shen Xu is open and enthusiastic, with a pure heart, and it is the most pleasant to be with him. My father and grandfather also like Shen Xu very much..."
Yuan Yue listened with great interest.
…
Yuan Shuang did not show up at the luncheon that day.
It wasn't until the evening that everyone left, and Yuan Shuang came out. After applying it for half a day, the traces of crying under her eyes were already faintly visible. She walked up to her cousin Zhu Dong, gathered her turban and saluted: "I send you to Your Majesty the Grandson."
I wonder if Zhu Dong saw the sadness and slight sadness in Yuan Shuang's eyes.
He smiled and returned the gift: "How precious you are to my cousin!"
Then, he didn't look at Yuan Shuang again until he got on the carriage and left.
Yuan Shuang's hands trembled slightly, and her eyes turned red quietly.
Yuan Yue came over and reminded in a low voice: "Cousin, the grandson and the princess are gone. We are also going back to the house. Don't you want to stand here crying alone?"
Yuan Shuang glared at her with red eyes: "I'm happy! I want you to take care of it!"
Yuan Yue did not argue with her, and muttered in a low voice: "Forget it, I see how pitiful you are, so I won't argue with you."
Yuan Shuang was so angry that she almost exploded: "Who is pitiful?"
Yuan Yue rolled her eyes a little: "I'm sorry. You're very kind." Too lazy to pay attention to her lovelorn and tough-tongued cousin, she turned around and left.
Really go!
I don’t know why I should stay with her and comfort her!
Yuan Shuang held back her indescribable anger, returned to her yard with a sullen face, closed the door and cried again.
