"Sister, what are you talking about? Suisui is not what you said." Zheng Yan truly regarded Li Qiu Sui as a friend and could not listen to her sister's words of resentment or resentment.
The younger sister is innocent and innocent, and the girl is sincere to her, which is why she can treat her differently.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at the dark night outside, smiled and said, "She can't blame our family. It was the head of the Li family who asked people to find the house and put forward the conditions. We all agreed one by one! Later, Liu You, that girl’s mother, also proposed that you don’t need to go to the government to sign the engagement letter, but let people come in to celebrate the wedding first, and then we can discuss it after the two children are older and have settled their temperaments. Your father and I didn’t have any embarrassment and agreed to them all.”
"Mom, it was their family that came to the door first? Does Suisui know?" Zheng Yuan frowned.
My younger brother has been in poor health since he was a child, and his family has visited famous doctors all over the place. Many of his acquaintances know something about this. But the journey from Shanghe Town to Fucheng would take more than half a day, even with a horse-drawn carriage.
Where did they get the news?
There is also the horoscope of a happy girl, which I cannot publicize in a big way.
Where did they know this?
"I may not have known before, but her mother should have made some explanations on the trip home." Mrs. Zheng spoke to her second daughter.
While pinching Zheng Yan's cheek, she said, "Our sister Yan has a good life! If you have the same temper as that girl, just get along well with her."
Zheng Yuan came to her senses. Sister Yan was born in the Zheng family, so she was naturally lucky! Why did her mother suddenly say such things?
She looked at her mother and then at her sister.
Over there, Zheng Yan avoided Mrs. Zheng, jumping on her feet and shouting, "If you have nothing to do, just go play with sister and brother Ying! What's going on if you catch me alone and bully me?"
Zheng Yuan shook her head and laughed.
She has a sensitive and thoughtful temperament, while Ying Ge has a cold and wise temperament. Her mother likes to bully her younger sister who loves to laugh and make trouble, so she has long been used to it.
When Li Qiu Sui woke up the next day, there was still no sign of Zheng Ying. As for the orchid, he naturally accepted it. I heard that there were some in the study.
After breakfast, Cuiping took off the bowls and chopsticks.
Aunt Qiu came over to send a message, saying that Mrs. Zheng asked her to come over.
Li Qiusui was taking care of the orchids in the back room, but saw no one from Nanny Qiu.
It doesn't seem to be a big deal.
After listening to the words of the two Miss Zheng yesterday, Mrs. Zheng asked her about this matter, and I had some speculations in my heart.
It would be a good thing to allocate a yard to her.
Li Qiusui didn't waste any time, washed his hands, and went to the main courtyard where Mrs. Zheng was.
When she arrived, Zheng Ying was actually there. When Mrs. Zheng saw her entering the room, she smiled and waved: "Suisui, come and sit."
Li Qiusui walked forward and saluted, "Madam."
Mrs. Zheng grabbed the person and sat down next to her: "I have told you so many times that you don't need to be polite. From now on, you can call me aunt."
This way, we will not be embarrassed to get along with each other in the future.
Good!
Li Qiusui followed the good example and called "aunt".
Mrs. Zheng said "Hey" and handed over a big red seal.
Seeing her stunned, he forced it into his hand, "My aunt has already recognized me, so I should take it as a meeting gift. Tomorrow, when Brother Ying goes to your house, he will also recognize your mother as his aunt, so that your mother and I will become sisters with different surnames." , you can go anywhere when you live at home."
As soon as Mrs. Zheng said the words, the matter was settled.
Li Qiusui was embarrassed, "Thank you, aunt!"
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Ying is in good health, and you will be a year older after the Chinese New Year. I will have someone decorate the yard. You go and take a look first, and pack up your things when you have free time."
Mrs. Zheng then talked about her visit to the school, "In the clan school run by the Zheng family, there are also children from relatives with the same surname. If you have any trouble, please go to your second and fifth cousins."
Li Qiusui listened carefully and nodded in agreement.
Said it could be moved today.
I have to go back to Lijiacun tomorrow. If I don’t move today, I will have to wait for the arrival from home.
Mrs. Zheng found the almanac, looked through it and found nothing taboo, so she made a decision.
The two sisters Zheng Yuan came together. Zheng Yan heard the last sound and shouted to help move.
The yard that Mrs. Zheng had people tidy up was located at the back of the inner courtyard, not far from the Zheng sisters, but a little far away from Jinfuyuan.
Jinfuyuan is said to be the inner courtyard, but it is separated from the outer courtyard by a wall. If the hanging flower door left in the inner courtyard is sealed and one is opened towards the outer courtyard, it will actually be considered an outer courtyard.
It is the custom of wealthy families to arrange the male men to live in the outer courtyard. It is said that they have grown up in the hands of women and lose their masculinity.
Li Qiusui guessed that it was important to be masculine, but it was not good to walk outside for studying and taking exams, and to have few classmates and close friends. Someone would come to the door every now and then, and it would be bad to bump into the women at home.
The same goes for the girl's family.
In this way, it is reasonable for men and women to be separated and not interfere with each other.
Li Qiusui didn't have much to pack. The new yard was all neat and tidy, and he could basically move in with just his bags. Even the flowers and plants kept in the back room took a lot of effort.
Zheng Ying arranged for Qingheng Qingyun to come over to help, and the flowers and plants were quickly arranged, and they were not needed for other trivial matters.
Cuiping Cuizhu all followed, and Mrs. Zheng called a few rough envoys.
He also wanted to give it to someone, but Li Qiusui refused.
All this requires monthly silver from the Zheng family, which only costs a few dollars. The Zheng family doesn't take this money seriously, but we know our own affairs, and we only need enough people, so we don't care about ostentation.
The layout of the new courtyard is the same as that of Jinfu Yuan. Once you enter the courtyard, you can see rows of houses, including main rooms, side rooms, and back rooms. They are connected by hand-curved corridors. The well-proportioned layout is extremely reasonable and orderly.
The rocks, flowers and trees in the courtyard all show signs of being moved and planted recently.
Li Qiusui frowned: "Auntie is too troublesome!"
Zheng Yan turned around, "My mother doesn't know how much she likes you! From now on, you will be our sister in a down-to-earth manner. If you don't like it, just say it. Don't think so much at a young age. If you worry so much, be careful. Become a little old lady!”
Zheng Yan was walking in the front, and after listening to Li Qiu Sui's words, she hurriedly stepped back and the three of them walked side by side.
Zheng Yuan also said: "Just have peace of mind every year! Brother Ying, thanks to you, my mother and we are very grateful to you. These are just external things. We treat you as one of our own family members. If you have something to say, just say it and we will try our best to do what we can." "
Entering the Zheng family school can be said to be a condition set by the Li family and agreed upon by the two families.
The way he explained his identity to the outside world and the arrangement of the courtyard all showed that the Zheng family had put a lot of thought into it.
Zheng Ying was able to get better because of her great efforts, but it really wasn't just a matter of happiness.
Zheng Yan kept nodding aside.
Li Qiu Sui straightened his expression, stopped and said, "Two cousins, I will only say this once. The Zheng family has benefited from this happy event, and my Li family has also got what it wants. The Zheng and Li families will have something to do in the future. Let’s meet again and discuss the relationship again.”
This means that from now on, no one from the two families will owe anything to the other, and if they want to communicate with each other again, this cannot be used as an excuse.
