Lao Zhoutou ate lunch and drank medicine before going to bed. Manbao felt a little sleepy, but he went to the guest house with his mother and sisters-in-law to meet the guests first.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng were also there. When Mr. Bai arrived with Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang, Manbao and the others had just arrived in the garden. Everyone greeted each other lively, and Cheng Dalang invited Mr. Bai and others to come.
While talking in the living room, the others went to the bride's room with Mrs. Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng.
Yesterday, when Mrs. Liu gave instructions to Bai Dalang to prepare the room, she had considered that the bride might get married here, so she chose the most spacious main room in the garden for her.
Qian was traveling with Mrs. Cheng all the way. Although they didn't know each other very well, they had some friendship, so as soon as they sat down, Qian said to Mrs. Cheng: "I heard from Mr. Bai that the wife wants to find a house elsewhere."
?”
Mrs. Cheng then smiled and said, "It's not a good idea to disturb Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou's family reunion."
Mr. Qian smiled and said: "Whatever this is, you have seen it. This house is spacious. As long as the wife is not uncomfortable living there, then she can continue to live there. It's best. The bride can get married from here."
Qian said with a smile: "I'm a country boy. It's fine as long as Mrs. Cheng doesn't mind my rough talk. Our Manbao family is what it is today, all thanks to the guidance of Mr. Zhuang, and Mr. Zhuang was the teacher invited by Mr. Bai back then. He is a member of the Bai family."
The second young master and our Man Bao have become senior brothers and sisters, and the eldest young master once also studied under Mr. Zhuang's knees. After all, they all have a brother-sister relationship."
Man Bao on the side nodded repeatedly.
Mrs. Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng couldn't help but look at each other, both slightly moved.
But they were traveling together in Beijing, but they only met each other in the morning and evening to say hello. In fact, they didn't have much contact with each other. They were not familiar with each other. It was already very embarrassing to come to Beijing and stay at someone else's house for a few days.
I went to school for nearly a month and got married from here...
Qian continued: "My wife also saw it when she came. The eldest and second young masters of the Bai family have always lived here. After all, our two families are also relatives. In the future, my daughter will marry into the Bai family.
I am going to be my sister-in-law."
Mrs. Liu, who had been silent all this time, saw the hesitation on Mrs. Cheng's face, smiled, and said: "Mrs. Cheng, my mother-in-law is very hospitable. You can tell by looking at my nephew that the villagers in Qili are honest and hospitable. Otherwise,
A few years ago, I would not have gone there to join him. So my biological mother really wants to keep you."
Mrs. Cheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course I know this, but it's too disturbing to Mrs. Zhou."
Qian said with a smile: "Don't bother me, don't bother me. It's too late for me to be happy if you can keep me here. If the bride can marry from my family, it will be a blessing to our family."
Seeing that Mrs. Cheng was still hesitant to respond, but her face was full of emotion, Mrs. Liu smiled at Mrs. Qian, and Mrs. Qian got up and took Man Bao into the inner room to meet the bride.
After they entered, Mrs. Liu took Mrs. Cheng's hand and whispered: "Mrs. Cheng, you also know that my family is close to my nephew's family. The relationship between the three of us is like this. I won't hide it from you. How big is Chongyuanfang?"
This is where aristocratic families gather. Just look at the neighbors and you will know that if the second young lady can get married from here, not only will the family be in good health, but the Bai family will also be in good health..."
Only then did Mrs. Cheng think of this.
Mrs. Liu looked at the expression on her face and knew that she was probably willing. She patted her hand comfortingly and said, "Don't be embarrassed. My family is really hospitable. You see, we are all
I live here."
Mrs. Cheng then relaxed and said with a smile: "Aren't I afraid of disturbing the Zhou family? After all, parents and children just get together."
"That's why I carved out a separate courtyard for you to use as a guest courtyard," Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "This man has thought of it a long time ago. There is a kitchen in this courtyard. From now on, you can use whatever you want to eat. Tell your son-in-law
, let him buy it for you."
Mrs. Liu said this beautifully. Although Bai Dalang had not officially become her son-in-law, she was very happy when she heard it. She smiled from ear to ear, "Don't let him worry about this. Just let my eldest son go."
good."
Mrs. Liu knew that the matter was settled.
Before getting married, Miss Cheng Er was not allowed to meet Bai Dalang, so she stayed in her room and did not go out since she entered.
Because she was here to get married, she was wearing water-red clothes and her face was exquisitely made up. She was much more beautiful than the last time Man Bao saw her.
Moreover, it was the first lunar month, and the weather was still cold. Miss Cheng Er was still wearing something thick, but now, the crimson blouse she was wearing was very thin. It made her skin look snow-white, which made her look particularly good-looking.
.
Man Bao caught his eye immediately.
Then she looked at Miss Cheng's face, neck and hands, and then looked down at her own hands, feeling a little sad. She seemed to be tanned.
Xiao Qian noticed Man Bao's movements, smiled and nodded her forehead and said: "Don't look at it, I wanted to ask you when we first met, how come you and the second young master are so dark after we haven't seen each other for half a year?
?”
Obviously Dalang is still like that.
Man Bao pouted and said, "The sun in the capital is too poisonous."
When Qian heard her muttering, he looked back at her and pulled her to meet the bride.
The two of them had met before. The last time they met, Zhou Man was wearing a fox fur, which made his face look as white as snow. At that time, Miss Cheng Er was very envious of her.
Unexpectedly, when they met again, the two of them changed their faces.
Miss Cheng Er and Man Bao's eyes met. After a moment of silence, Miss Cheng Er finally thought of an opening line to praise her, "Sister Zhou seems to be a little taller than the last time I saw her."
Man Bao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately put the question in question behind him. He stared at Miss Cheng Er with shining eyes and asked, "Really?"
Miss Cheng Er carefully looked at Man Bao's height, nodded and said: "Really, he is much taller than what I saw during the first month of the year."
Man Bao instantly became happy. He sat next to Miss Cheng Er and said to Xiao Qian: "Sister-in-law, it seems that I have made some progress in the past six months."
Xiao Qian laughed and scolded: "I have never heard anyone praise me so much. I am not ashamed."
Qian said with a smile: "I didn't know you had seen her before. Come, this is my fourth daughter-in-law. This is my fifth daughter-in-law. Miss Cheng Er has never seen her, has she?"
Madam Fang and Madam Lu stepped forward, and Miss Cheng Er quickly stood up to greet them.
Mrs. Qian waited until they had seen each other before pointing to the two granddaughters standing behind her and said: "This is my second granddaughter, named Lijun, and this is my third granddaughter, named Liru. If the second young lady needs anything in the future, Manbao, she
If the sisters-in-law are not here, ask someone to call my second granddaughter. There is nothing in this family that she cannot handle."
Miss Cheng Er smiled and responded politely. She had just heard the conversation in the outer room, but at this time it was not certain whether their family would live here.
