The Way of Favors

???? The day before the daughter's marriage, the host family will invite relatives and friends to come and add boxes.

???? On the morning of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Fu Rong Xu Jin got up early, and when he was washing his face, Brother Ju ran over excitedly: "Go to my grandfather's house!"

When the little guy was just born, no one liked to talk about it. When he grows up, he likes to visit his house. The one he loves most is his grandfather's house, because there is a little uncle and aunt, and two cousins ​​of similar age. I listened last night. Saying that today is going to pass, Bi brother is as happy as the New Year.

Seeing that his face hadn't been washed yet, Fu Rong smiled and called his son to his side, dampened his kerchief and wiped his face, seriously instructed: "Today, my grandmother has many guests at home. Brother Ju is obedient. You are not allowed to run around. ?"

Brother Wei blinked his phoenix eyes and looked at his mother, and promised happily: "I will play with my uncle and don't make trouble."

Fu Rong didn't believe it very much, and touched his head like praise.

Axuan and Apei were too young. Today, the Hou Mansion was noisy, so Fu Rong didn't take them there. He got into the carriage with Xu Jin, and Gu sat in the middle.

The average relatives have to wait three poles in the day to come, and those who are farther away are even later. When the family of three arrived at the Houfu, the Houfu was still very quiet.

Fu Wan arrived before Fu Rong, and only Yuanyuan came.

Knowing that the third aunt is coming, Yuanyuan happily ran to the front yard to greet her. Tiantian went to Raju after greeted her uncle and aunt, and went to Raju: "Auntie is very good today, Guer is going, I will take you to see ."

Brother Wei liked her sister and went with her excitedly. The two siblings walked for a while and tilted their heads to talk, just like their own siblings.

Fu Rong accompanied Xu Jin to talk to his parents for a while, and then went to see his sister in the backyard with Fu Wan.

Fu Xuan has also been dressed up today. The sixteen-year-old girl has white cheeks and delicate eyebrows. She is as beautiful as a green bamboo growing tenderly in a bamboo forest. For example, Yuanyuan, seeing Fu Rong, the little girl would smile and jump into Fu Rong's arms. Seeing Fu Xuan, Yuanyuan walked over obediently, with a sense of learning.

When Sister Fu Rong entered the house, Fu Xuanzheng was holding Brother Bi.

Fu Rong smiled and asked his son, "Does the little aunt look good?"

Ge Er raised his head to look at his aunt, and then he leaned into his aunt's arms and grinned as if he was a little shy. "It looks good." Such a shy little appearance, as if someone was complimenting him.

Fu Wan couldn't help teasing his nephew: "Brother Yu said, is your mother or little aunt looking good?"

My brother looked at his mother and looked at his aunt again, and stopped talking. When I was a child, Brother Bi would call my mother without hesitation. Now I know something, and I don't want to offend my mother or my favorite aunt. The little guy is also smart. After being put on the ground by his aunt, he walked to Yuanyuan's side and said loudly, "All look good!"

Yuanyuan added: "My mother is also pretty!"

Fu Rong nodded a little clever head.

After a while, Fu Bao took Da Lang and came over with Fu Mi.

Fu Bao married Lin Shaotang last September. Because Lin Shaotang was studying in Beijing, the young couple did not return to Suzhou for the time being, and bought a house in the capital. In the beginning of the spring, Lin Shaotang ordered Tanhua and went to work in the Imperial Academy. Fu Bao didn't have to go back. He would go back to her mother's house every few days to speak with Lin's family, and often visit the palace.

Fu Mi is seventeen. Last year, Liu Jian died before marriage, and Fu Mi gradually gained the reputation of Kefu. Fewer and fewer people came to Houfu to propose relatives. There were a few third wives who were left. Fu Mi was unwilling, so he was delayed. Unmarried, it’s just that the older the girl goes out, the more beautiful she walks in. She walks in in a lavender dress. The beauty of an unmarried girl is different from that of Fu Rong and Fu Wan. She actually compares the popularity of the married mother Fu Xuan a bit. .

Fortunately, Sister Fu Rong is not stingy. They are all relatives, so she can't stop her from coming because of Fu Mi's beauty, right?

The four sisters sat around Fu Xuan, laughing and talking.

Yuanyuanbi's brother Dalang couldn't sit still, and went out to find her uncle after strolling around the house. Fu Rong and the others were quite relieved because the nurse maid followed.

The chat was lively, Lin sent someone to invite Fu Bao over.

After Fu Bao left, Fu Mi was an outsider in the house.

Fu Rong glanced at Fu Mi inadvertently when talking to his sister.

Fu Mi's figure is thin, with frowning eyebrows, her eyes are raised and lowered, and she inadvertently reveals the tenderness I see. This kind of timidity is different from what she pretends, because her eyes are indeed honest. , Without the attractiveness of pretending to be pitiful, it just makes people want to bully her even more.

Just like now, she sat there with her head slightly lowered, and Fu Rong couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. Knowing that Fu Mi is generally not talkative, he still tried to pass the head over. It was the same with Fu Wan, and on such a day, everyone inevitably gave birth to a little sympathy for the only girl in the Fu family who had no marriage.

As for Fu Mi, she is used to being alone. It's okay to have Fu Bao. Now she is the only outsider left. She feels that she is a bit distracting to stay here. She reluctantly sat for a while, got up and said goodbye. Speak with Sister Six, I will go back to the West Yard to have a look."

There isn't even a nice excuse to say goodbye, even if it means forgetting something or remembering something to do.

When she left, Fu Wan said softly, "I don't know what kind of family the fifth sister will marry in the end."

Fu Rong knew that Fu Mi would not be able to marry next spring, so he didn't care much, holding his sister's hand and joking her: "I will marry tomorrow. Is my sister nervous? The mother who taught you should tell you. Do you want my sister to tell you more?"

Fu Xuan raised his eyes to look at her: "My sister is the mother of three children, why is she still so rude?"

The little girl was frank and frank, without the shyness that a married woman should have on her face.

Fu Rong was no longer in the mood to tease his younger sister anymore. No matter how affectionate he was after marriage, at least for now, Wu Baiqi is still not in his sister's heart.

Fortunately, Wu Bai had a thick face and he took the initiative. How many people knew each other before marriage? Didn’t you get together slowly by getting along after marriage? As long as someone takes the initiative, you are not afraid, and you are afraid that the couple will treat each other with courtesy and respect like guests.

Recalling the warm scene when the family of three sisters returned to their natal family in the previous life, Fu Rong straightened the hairpin for her sister. Looking at the three sisters, he felt infinite emotion.

Time flies so fast. It's been seven years since we were reborn in a blink of an eye, and the three of their sisters have also become families.

that's nice.

After Fu Mi left the east courtyard, he led the maid to the west courtyard along the path of the Houfu Garden. The midsummer season was a bit hot, and the master and servant went under the shade of the trees.

Suddenly there was an excited voice from the lake, "Daddy caught a fish!"

Followed by Yuanyuan's anxious words urging her uncle.

Fu Mi's maid, Cai Yuan, looked over there and smiled and said, "It seems like the four masters are fishing with the little masters."

Fu Mi hummed softly, his pace getting slower and slower, and finally turned towards the lake, muttering to himself: "It's so lively, I'll go see it too."

Cai Yuan looked at her girl's back in surprise. Girls never do this kind of excitement. What is happening today?

Surprised again, he quickly followed.

After walking a cup of tea, Fu Mi first stopped under the shade of the road exit. Cai Yuan saw her standing on the lake and it was not easy for a few people to spot it, so she followed, stood firm and turned her head. coming. The girl is getting older and the prince is over there. Although she is a relative, she should avoid taboos.

When she looked towards the lake, she saw King Su and his son. King Su was standing, and Xiao Shizi was sitting on the bench. Both father and son were holding fishing rods. Not far away, the nine-year-old Si Ye was sitting, the girl Sitting next to him with the eldest young master, it's just that the cousin is not as good as the younger one, and always turns to talk to his uncle.

Cai Yuan usually waits by Fu Mi's side, because Fu Mi is so quiet, and she rarely has fun. At this moment, she looks at the three cute little masters back and forth with a smile.

Fu Mi's sight fell on the slender figure.

That was King Su, the most noble son-in-law of the Fu family, and I heard that it is very likely to become God in the future.

Fu Mi couldn't help thinking of the first time he saw King Su. On that day, he accompanied Fu Rong back to the door. He wore a red auspicious suit. When he was not smiling, he was like a cold jade, and he laughed like a cloud breaking through the moon, Fu Ding. Fu Chen Fu You's three famous handsome brothers in the capital suddenly lost their brilliance beside him.

But such a good man is her brother-in-law.

Fu Mi looked at that figure firmly, and unconsciously clenched the veil.

As he was looking forward to it, the man suddenly turned his head and looked over here.

Fu Mi's heartbeat quickened, and he quickly disappeared behind the tree. After a while, he didn't have the guts to continue peeping, and led Cai Yuan to quietly leave.

The feeling of being peeped finally disappeared. Xu Jin's brows stretched out, as if he had never noticed it, he continued to accompany his son fishing until more and more guests, and Fu Pinyan sent someone to invite him over, and Xu Jin patted his brother's little shoulder to let the nursing mother. Leading the three little masters back to the backyard, he and the official brother walked towards the front yard.

On the way, Xu Jin asked the officer's homework, and he nodded slightly when he heard the official answer. As long as it doesn't delay business, it's okay to have fun.

When he arrived at the front yard, Xu Jin asked Guan'er to go first, and he walked under a tree.

Xu Jia understood it, and quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Master, the fifth girl and the maid next to her peeked at the lake for a while."

Five girls?

Xu Jin tried to think back, but couldn't remember what the five girls of the Fu family looked like.
