Through the cultivation of tang pear leaves rouge color

Mrs. Du took Song Li and the little maid to her sister-in-law's house.

It was only later that Song Li found out that the sister-in-law's house that Mrs. Du was talking about was Wu Jinwen's.

Because of what happened last time, Mrs. Du rented a sedan chair to sit there this time. Song Li was not used to sitting in a sedan chair. When Mrs. Du let him sit in, he still felt a little trembling. When he was carried away, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But here, sedan chairs are a more common means of transportation than horse-drawn carriages. Rich people may not have horse-drawn carriages in their homes, but they must have bearers, and there is also a special place to rent sedan chairs for people like Du's family. A person who does not have a bearer and wants to use a sedan chair.

Sitting in the sedan chair was very uneasy at first, but after a while Song Li became interested in sitting in the sedan chair and felt quite comfortable. The slight rhythmic shaking made him feel like sitting in a cradle, which was very suitable for people to rest their minds while waiting for the sedan chair. It stopped, and when Du Shi got out of his own sedan chair and let him get off the sedan chair, he was almost shaken to the point of falling asleep.

Song Li got off the sedan chair and saw them parked in a yard, which was already the front yard of Wu's mansion.

On both sides of the front yard of the Wu Mansion are sedan chair houses, which are used to put the sedan chairs and rest for the bearers who carry the sedan chairs.

In this area, some family members have this kind of house pattern and system in their homes.

The housekeeper of the Wu family has already come up to welcome her, and said to Du Shi, "I didn't expect grandma to come over. The wife and the girls are sitting in the back pavilion. Someone has already sent a report. Come with me!"

As she spoke, she saw Song Li standing behind Mrs. Du again. Song Li was wearing a simple white and blue dress with no jewelry on her body. She was dressed a little too plainly and without much attire. Qiao'er, the little girl who was carrying the red bayberry, was still dressed poorly, but standing there, he had a sense of freedom and coquettishness that is rare for women. Although he is still immature, he already has a calm and elegant demeanor that is hard to find even if he is a daughter of a wealthy family. Even if he does not have this look, it is not easy for people to ignore him.

The housekeeper is also used to seeing all kinds of people, and she is unavoidably snobbish. However, seeing Song Li, she couldn't help admiring that this girl is really a character. She is still young, and when she grows up, she will There must have been a stunning and brilliant demeanor, and she didn't dare to neglect her at all, and immediately asked Du Shi, "I don't know who this girl is from grandma, but she is really beautiful!"

Mrs. Du liked to hear people praise Song Li, and said with a happy smile, "It's my nephew Wu Lang's new wife, Aunt Sun, see if it's okay."

The housekeeper was surprised in her heart, Dong Wu often came to Wu's house, she naturally knew him, and she always knew that he didn't have a wife, and she even wanted to match her niece to him, but she didn't expect him to marry a wife, and And married such a fairy-like little lady.

She took two steps forward and took Song Li's hand, picked it up, looked at his face carefully, then touched his hand, kept looking at him and praising him, and said, "What did grandma say? It’s passable, I think Tianxian is like this, I really don’t know where your nephew found such a little lady, if I didn’t feel it, I really wonder if this is a painting.”

Song Li stood awkwardly and let the old woman in front of him look and touch, thinking that all the women here are lustful, and they are all fierce characters.

Although he couldn't bear to be looked at like this, he had no choice but to bear it, and he still smiled and replied to the housekeeper, "Ma'am, you are too good-for-nothing."

Mrs. Du also laughed and said, "Aunt Sun, you can talk all the time, what is painted in the painting is all nonsense, let's go and see your wife first."

Only then did Aunt Sun come to her senses, let go of Song Li's hand, looked at him again, and sighed loudly, and the men in the Wu family's concierge also looked around, no matter how you looked at it, it was a bit rude, Du Shi was a little bit a little bit because of this. Not happy, he quickly pulled Song Li to his side, passed through the hallway, and went to the inner courtyard behind.

The women of the Wu family were sitting in a pavilion in the courtyard at the back. They said it was a pavilion, but it was actually a large pavilion beside the garden. They were sitting together, embroidering patterns and chatting. There was also a little girl playing. .

As soon as Mrs. Du passed by, a woman in her 40s greeted her, and several other women also got up and hurriedly called Mrs. Du to sit and eat fruit together.

Song Li followed Mrs. Du into the pavilion, he sighed in his heart, thinking that he and Dong Wu should go back to the countryside as soon as possible, otherwise it would be really torture to follow Mrs. Du to visit everywhere and live among piles of women.

At this time, he envied Jia Baoyu, thinking why he couldn't like being with women as much as Jia Baoyu. If he liked being with women like this, he would be taken as a fool by Du Shi to take him to see all kinds of women like this. fun.

The mistress of the Wu family, surnamed Yuan, was a very blessed woman who was a little fat. She supported Mrs. Du and said a few words, then held Song Li again, looked him over carefully from top to bottom, and said: , "Liu Niang, which family's daughter is this, tsk tsk, she looks so juicy, could it be that you brought it for me to see, and want to be a matchmaker for my family's Liwen?"

She laughed as she spoke, followed by her daughter-in-law and daughter who also laughed.

Mrs. Du also laughed, and said, "Hey, sister-in-law, you said that a step too late, she is already the wife of my nephew Wu Lang."

Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Song Li for a while, and said, "The last time Jin Wen came back, he said that Wu Lang got married, and I said why this kid is in such a hurry to get married, our family didn't know about it Well, I didn’t give any gift at all, it’s true, I was still thinking why he didn’t understand such a little gift, didn’t send a wedding invitation to my family, and she was such a beautiful little lady, no wonder he wanted to hide it Those who were tucked in quickly got married, and the daughter-in-law who was not sneaky was snatched away..."

Yuan Shi laughed as she spoke, and everyone laughed along with her. She pulled Song Li to sit on the couch beside her, and asked him, "How old are you and what's your name?"

Song Li has always maintained a polite demeanor. At this time, he replied, "Fourteen, called Song Li." Song Li actually didn't know how old this body was, but in ancient times, girls usually got married at the age of thirteen to fifteen. He said fourteen was just right.

After Yuan Shi heard this, she looked at his face and figure again, and said to Du Shi, "She looks really good. I just thought that Wu Lang is not too young, why he never got married, so he was waiting to find her." It looks like this, thanks to him being able to find it. Hey, it can only be said that Liwen of my family is unlucky, tell him about the girls of other families!"

Song Li didn't expect this woman to be such an eloquent and funny character, everyone was amused by her, and he could only bow his head and smile.

Several people said a few more words, and Mrs. Du said, "I came to my sister-in-law today. It was my family who went to Yaoyun County with Wu Lang and brought back some red bayberries from Yaoyun County. I thought I had to hurry and give them to sister-in-law. Send some over from your house."

Yuan Shi hurriedly said that she was being polite, and that the girl Ling'er was very strong. She carried such a big basket of red bayberry, which probably weighed more than ten catties. I asked to wash some to eat, and asked to send some to the sons in the study.

It was quite boring for Song Li to sit there. Besides Yuan Shi, there were two other women with buns in women's hair, both of whom had low eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye. Little girl.

Presumably those two young women were Yuan's daughters-in-law, one had a round face and spoke softly, the other had an oval face, she was pretty, but she was even more timid, and she didn't dare to look at Song Li clearly , only squinted a few times, then quickly twisted the handkerchief, and continued to do embroidery.

Those two little girls were not as lively and cute as Wu Xuezhen, they both sat very upright, didn't speak loudly, and didn't dare to interrupt at will.

Song Li looked around and felt that the girls in this family were probably being controlled too strictly. It seemed that the Yuan family looked very kind, but in fact she was very good at managing the family and was very good at disciplining the female family members.

The red bayberry was washed and served on a plate. Yuan Shi took one up first, but handed it to Song Li, and said with a smile, "Come on, this one is big, Song Li, you can eat it."

Song Li felt quite uncomfortable, Du smiled and said, "Wu Lang really hurts her, sister-in-law, you are afraid that she won't have this red bayberry to eat."

Yuan Shi smiled and said angrily, "Since this red bayberry was brought to my house, I give her one because I feel sorry for her. It's not that she has never eaten red bayberry."

Song Li thanked him, took it and put it in his mouth to eat.

Yuan Shi took another one and ate it, saying, "Yaoyun's red bayberry really needs to be sweeter, this one is good."

She said, and then she said to her daughter-in-law and daughters, "Your aunt personally delivered it, eat it quickly, it's sweet and delicious."

Everyone laughed and ate.

After that, Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Du went to talk together. Song Li took two red bayberries and ate them and then sat there wandering away. The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl came over and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Sister-in-law, come here." Sit and talk and play with us!"

Song Li was stunned for a moment, and Yuan Shi also heard Wu Yuwen calling Song Li over, so she turned her head and said, "Go and play with them."

Song Li was dragged by Wu Yuwen to sit down with them.

The round-faced little woman pulled him to sit beside her, smiled, and said in a soft voice, "What kind of embroidery can my sister know?"

Song Li withdrew his hand from hers without a trace, thinking it was really embarrassing, he didn't want to eat these women's tofu at all, they pulled it up and touched it by themselves.So with a rather distressed look on his face, he replied, "I don't know how to embroider these things, and I poke my hands every time, so I didn't learn."

Seeing Song Li's troubled look, everyone thought that he was troubled because he couldn't embroider. They couldn't help thinking that they heard that women in the country were doing the rough work of washing, cooking, growing vegetables and raising livestock at home, and they generally didn't do embroidery. Yes, I can't help but reduce the jealousy of his beauty in my heart, and even feel sorry for him who hasn't even learned embroidery.Even though she is pretty, she is a country girl after all, so what can she do.

So they abandoned the embroidery patterns and started talking about playing cards, and Song Li didn't know about the play they were watching, so they could only listen helplessly, and then went on to think about other things...

After a while, the clouds outside the window gradually dispersed, and the sun cast some bright light, illuminating the plants in the garden to glisten in the sun, and the green leaves seemed to drip green.

Song Li was also bored listening to them talking, and his attention slowly turned to the garden outside the window. He even saw a white butterfly flying by in the garden. A disturbing voice came back to his senses, and he was surprised to find that there were two more people in the room.

Wu Jinwen and his younger brother Wu Liwen came in from the outside. Wu Jinwen saw Du Shi sitting with his mother at a glance, then turned his eyes and saw Song Li sitting in a chair by the window, and his wife was also sitting. There, there were also sister-in-law and two younger sisters, all of them were wearing bright spring clothes and gold hairpins, but none of them was as outstanding as Song Li. Song Li didn't seem to pay attention to the room, she looked at the In the garden outside the window, Wu Jinwen looked in his direction and saw a white butterfly. Under the sunlight, there was a layer of golden light floating on the white butterfly. Every time it flapped its wings, it was like a golden light dancing. She shook off the gold powder all over her body, but no matter how beautiful the butterfly was, it was not as moving as Song Li sitting there quietly.

He couldn't help being dazed for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, saluted his mother, and said hello to Mrs. Du.

Wu Liwen, on the other hand, first greeted his mother and Mrs. Du, and then looked over after noticing something was wrong with his elder brother. When he saw Song Li, he called out and said, "Mother, which family's beautiful sister is this?"

Song Li was awakened from his daze by his sound.
