After the snow, the land was covered with silver everywhere, turning into a crystal fairy tale. The rows of trees were proudly blooming with silver flowers, shining with a purple light under the sunlight;
Many exquisite and clear silver bars hung down from the branches of catalpa branches with fallen leaves; the magpies on the branches were intoxicated by the beautiful snow scene, and stopped motionless for a long time before flying up gracefully, kicking off a piece of snow, and then
Then he started shouting happily.
The sound of firecrackers in the middle of the night continues to this day, almost without interruption.
Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month, and every household is welcoming the God of Wealth.
After sleeping for a whole day and night, Liu Yong sweated several times, but his health was fine.
In the morning, Liu Yong also got up early, and Sister-in-law Ying had already prepared pig heads, carps and other offerings.
Liu Yong lit a candle, put on three pillars of incense, then knelt down and bowed. He returned to the room and said to his wife Yu Hui: This morning, you take Hong Ying and I to see a friend.
Yu Hui asked strangely: What friend? Isn’t it appropriate for us women to be present in your men’s affairs?
Liu Yong said: I am a sworn brother and have just returned from France.
Yu Hui said: Then Hong Ying will go too. What if Dong Mei cries? It’s really strange. Dong Mei seems to recognize someone. She doesn’t want the nanny or me. Hong Ying hugs her and just giggles, with his little hands on her face.
Touch everywhere.
Liu Yong said: Maybe this is fate.
Liu Yong went on to say: My brother belongs to a well-known wealthy family in Nanxun. He is doing business in France and just came back a few days ago, but he is not married yet.
Yu Hui said: What do you mean, let Hong Ying go and see if it is suitable?
Liu Yong smiled and said: Hey, that's what I meant. But none of us should make our words clear, otherwise, everyone will look ugly.
In Yu Hui's eyes, there are many wealthy men who like maids. She also talked about women and saw Hong Ying's thoughts. After a moment, she said slowly: Could it be that, could it be that you
, really have no interest in her?
Liu Yong smiled and said: I have already said that marrying you is the blessing I gained from my previous life, and I am already content.
Yu Hui said again: What should I do if I can't give you a son?
Liu Yong smiled and said: Facts have proved that it is not that you cannot give birth, but that you have not given birth to a son for the time being. Maybe all you will give birth to are sons in the future.
Yu Hui smiled slightly, still talking about being charming. Then he said: I am a woman and I know what women are thinking. I think she has good intentions towards you.
Liu Yong smiled and said: So help her find a good in-law to avoid long nights and dreams. Go and tell her that we will go out after breakfast.
Hong Ying was playing in the yard with Dong Mei in her arms, basking in the sun.
Yu Hui came over and said to her: Sister, you will accompany me out later to see a friend.
Hong Ying immediately said: What about Dongmei?
Yu Hui said: Anyway, the wet nurse is here, we will come back after a while.
The roads are full of people going north and south to visit relatives and friends.
Liu Yong carried a few packages and walked in front, while Yu Hui and Hong Ying supported each other and followed behind.
In order not to lose the face of her master, Hong Ying also dressed up specially.
Hong Ying is born beautiful. Big eyes, curved eyebrows, two deep dimples on her standard face, plump cherry mouth, fair and flawless skin with a hint of pink, and thin lips as delicate as rose petals.
She was so excited. There were two long braids with pink bows on her hair. She was wearing a fine flower cheongsam that she couldn't bear to wear after it was finished. Yu Hui insisted on wearing it today.
Hong Ying said: I have never worn a cheongsam, and I am not used to it.
Yu Hui said: If you don’t wear it after you’ve done it, why did you do it? If you’re not used to it, you’ll get used to it slowly. Going out with me today is my honor.
Hong Ying felt that what Yu Hui said made sense.
Liu Yong felt that Yu Hui was too smart.
Hong Ying wears this cheongsam, with her front and back curved, showing her decent, elegant and natural curves.
They came to an alley, with high walls, a black painted door, and a pair of stone lions in front of the door, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
There is a large courtyard at the entrance. The courtyard is surrounded by winter jasmine flowers, red, pink, yellow, orange... different colors and shapes.
The winter plum beside the Taihu stone in the corner is full of jade-colored petals, exuding an intoxicating fragrance; a purple magnolia has only flower buds and no leaves, which makes people forget to leave.
From the entrance to the hall, the floor is paved with bluestone slabs, and cobblestones are used on both sides to create various patterns, which is so beautiful.
It was the first time for both Yu Hui and Hong Ying to enter such a high-walled courtyard. They were as if they were "fairies" visiting a garden, and they were amazed.
Hearing that a guest was visiting, Qiu Xiancha came out to greet him.
Because Qiu Xiancha has lived in France for many years, his clothes are naturally more liberal.
I saw him wearing a top hat, a parka coat, and a purple scarf around his neck. Look at him, he is extremely handsome, his face is as clear as a sculpture, and his angular face is extremely handsome. He looks like a wild and unrestrained person.
But the sparkle in the eyes that is revealed inadvertently makes people dare not look down upon it. Under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows is a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, which are full of amorous feelings and make people fall into them if they are not careful. The tall nose and the moderately thick lips
At this moment, a dazzling smile appeared on her red lips.
Seeing that the people coming were Liu Yong and the others, Qiu Xiancha bowed his hands and said, "Brother Liu is here. I am waiting for you from afar. Wish you all the blessings! Come in quickly." He also ordered his servants to serve tea.
After Liu Yong and the others sat down, Liu Yong said with a smile: "Coming uninvited seems even more intimate. Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month, an auspicious day, so I specially brought my family to pay my New Year's greetings to the mausoleum."
Qiu Xiancha thought that the two women in front of him were both appointed wives, and then said: Wish you two sisters-in-law a blessing!
This sentence made both Yu Hui and Hong Ying a little embarrassed, especially Hong Ying who blushed at the words.
Liu Yong then pointed at Yu Hui and said: She is a bitch.
Yu Hui stood up and said, "Bless your sworn brother."
Liu Yong pointed at Hong Ying and said: She is my sister Hong Ying. You have never seen her.
Hong Ying then stood up and said: My little girl Hong Ying is now polite and made a blessing ceremony.
When Hong Ying raised his head, he met Qiu Xiancha's eyes. Seeing Qiu Xiancha looking at him with a smile, he felt a burning sensation on his face.
Qiu Xiancha said with a smile: We Eastern women are different from Western women. Western women are rough and unrestrained, while we Eastern women are gentle and elegant.
It's a bit embarrassing for both of you to say that.
Hearing that Liu Yong and the others came to pay New Year's greetings, Qiu Xiancha's father, Qiu Xuesi, and his mother also came out of the back room. Liu Yong went up first, bowed with both hands and said: Uncle, aunt, and nephew, I would like to pay New Year's greetings to the two elders. May you be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan Mountain.
.
Qiu Xiancha’s parents said in unison: Thank you, thank you.
Yu Hui and Hong Ying also stood up and bowed to the two elders.
Qiu Xuesi picked up the hookah, lit it, took a sip, and said slowly: After raising the land for half a year, he has taken care of himself since he was a child. Nephew Ayong has been smart and humane since he was a child. Today, with his family fortune, the whole family
It's amazing to start a business from scratch on your own.
Liu Yong said modestly: Uncle Quanzhang always gives advice.
They were chatting, but Qiu Xiancha's mother kept staring at Hong Ying and couldn't help but start to interject. This girl is so beautiful. Whoever marries her is a blessing. I wonder if there is any marriage?
Yu Hui said: My sister is 18 years old and is not married yet. Auntie Lao will look out for a suitable match in the future.
Qiu Xiancha's mother laughed and said, "Smart and pretty girls don't have to worry about getting married. It's easy to say, easy to say."
These words made Hong Ying blush. She seemed to understand a little. It seemed that Brother Yong and Sister Hui had specially arranged to keep their heads down and remain silent today.
When Liu Yong saw that the fire was almost done, he stood up and left.
Qiu Xiancha's mother specially gave red envelopes to the two women. They thanked them.
Qiu Xiancha took out two beautifully packaged paper boxes from the back room. They were originally French perfumes. One bottle for each of the two women.
Yu Hui took the perfume and expressed her gratitude.
Hong Ying took the perfume with both hands, not daring to look directly at Qiu Xiancha, and said timidly: Thank you.
On the way home, the three of them were talking and laughing.
Yu Hui said: This kind of family is called a wealthy family, and there are only a handful of them in Nanxun town. It gave me a clear vision.
Liu Yong smiled and said: Don't worry, in a few years, the Liu family will make the world look at them with admiration.
Yu Hui smiled and said: This is not a competition with others. Don't daydream.
Liu Yong also said: Dreams are goals, dreams are ideals. If a person does not even have dreams, what is the use of this person?
Yu Hui smiled and said: Actually, I am already content with living like this.
Liu Yong and Yu Hui were walking and chatting, while Hong Ying was thinking about something else.
After returning home, as soon as they entered the house, they heard Xiao Dongmei crying in the yard.
Hong Ying took three steps and then two. As he walked, he said: Baby, be good, aunt is here, aunt is here, don’t cry, don’t cry.
Hong Ying took Dongmei and Xiao Dongmei from the wet nurse, with tears still on her face, she immediately let out a giggle, and kept clasping Hong Ying's ears with her little hands.
Hong Ying kissed Xiao Dongmei on the face and said: Well, the baby is so good. Then, he carried Xiao Dongmei into his room.
Liu Yong looked at Hong Ying's back as he entered, and asked Yu Hui with a smile: Do you see any drama?
Yu Hui smiled and said: The conditions are of course impeccable. It just depends on whether there is such fate.
Liu Yong said: Then find an opportunity to explore her thoughts.
Yu Hui added: It should be said that it would be difficult to find such a person even after eight lifetimes. It also depends on whether the other party is satisfied or not.
Liu Yong said: It can be seen that A Liang's mother likes Hong Ying very much. That afternoon, I went to Jili Village to wish her parents a happy new year, and also to listen to her parents' thoughts. There is no marriage that is not decided by the parents.
.Everything is settled and settled.
Yu Hui said: That makes sense. Then he said: Spending so much time with her is like a real sister. I am really reluctant to let him go if he really wants to get married.
Liu Yong smiled and said: She can't stay with you forever. He also said: Helping her find a good in-law is also a good thing. This chapter has been completed!
