Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Home Visitors

March 17th is the holiday day for Xie Jiamei. Since Chen Danxia turned seven, Tao did not allow her to go out at will, so her date with Xu Lang was naturally cancelled. Today she stayed at home to read and practice calligraphy as usual.

"Girl." Walking the piano in, "The old lady asked you to come over to meet the guests."

"Where did the guests come from?" Chen Danxia asked with his pen.

"The fifth master in Lu Tai's family is the old lady's nephew, and the eldest lady's cousin is the old lady's cousin." Fuqin was thorough and asked clearly before coming in.

"How could the three families get together? It's such a coincidence." Chen Danxia looked at herself. At home, she always focused on comfort and dresses. "Send me to change clothes."

Chen Danxia changed into a double-breasted pants with pink and blue embroidered white hibiscus flowers, tied the loose long buns into draped buns, decorated them, and cleaned them up, and went to the Sanfang's main courtyard. Tao's makeup was already there. Now, in addition to Chen Danxia, ​​the legitimate daughter, the third room, still stayed in the Sanfang's courtyard. After Chen Danxun and Shen Danzi turned six years old, they moved to the small building behind Xuanzi courtyard and were raised by Shen's mother.

"Mom, I'm here." Chen Danxia smiled and bent slightly, "My daughter has been waiting for a long time."

"Waiting for my mother's baby, I'm willing to wait for how long I can wait." Tao said with a smile. Chen Danxia laughed and helped Tao walk out.

When they arrived at the small hall of Xuanziyuan, there was a room of people. Lin married Lutai's cousin Bao's new widow. She had no children and had a lot of property. She was afraid that she would be annexed by the Tan family. She brought her two daughters, Tan Shuhui, who was twelve years old, and was the second name Tan Shujie. She was ten years old. She went to Beijing to join the Lin family. However, Chen Mushi's family also came to Beijing, so she came to join the army. Halfway through the journey, she met Liu Zhansi, the son of the third brother of Chen's mother's family. She chatted and learned that it was a relative. Rushi and the three families walked all the way to Jindu City.

Chen Mushi has one son and one daughter, the eldest daughter is Chen Danyue, who is the same age as Chen Danxia, ​​and is only three months younger than her. His son Shen Baitao is seven years old. Liu Zhansi has two daughters and one son, Liu Baozhen, thirteen years old, second daughter Liu Baozhu, eleven years old, son Liu Qing, nine years old.

Everyone greeted each other, the elders sat down to talk, and the younger generations went to the small side hall next door to have tea and snacks; Tan Shuhui, Tan Shujie, Chen Danyue and Liu Baozhen were more reserved and polite, but Liu Baozhu was very familiar. When she called Chen Danxia sisters, she did not nominate her name, but called her sister, as if she was really a sister.

Liu Baozhen explained with a shameful look: "My Baozhu has always been lively, so please don't bother with her, sisters of the Shen family."

"It's good to be lively, so it's lively, and it's boring to talk. "Chen Dannian said snatching words. Tan Shuhui, who was sitting beside her, glanced at her, frowned slightly. If she remembered correctly, this Chen Dannian was born in a villain and ranked twelfth in the Shen family. Among the girls in the Shen family here, the seventh girl Chen Dan should speak, and the ninth girl Chen Danxia should speak, but she rushed to speak. It's better not to approach such people who don't understand the rules, so as not to be tired of being taken by her.

"The twelve sister's words are deeply touched by my heart." Liu Baozhu squeezed to Chen Dannian. Tan Shuhui took the opportunity to get up, gave up her seat, and sat next to Chen Danyue.

Next, Chen Dannian regretted that she stole the words. Liu Baozhu was not only "lively", but also sharp-eyed, "Twelve Sister, your beads are so beautiful, can you lend me some wear them?"

The bead string is something that Chen Dannian got after polishing Dong Qixiu for a long time. He only put it on today and was reluctant to lend it to Liu Baozhu. Chen Danbing smiled and said, "Sister Zhu has a good vision. The bead string is made of tribute beads. It is said that wearing it can nourish the skin. Sister Zhu has a word bead string in her name, and it is the most suitable to wear it."

Chen Danxia and Shen Danxun frowned slightly.

"Bow beads, the beads made of tribute beads are too expensive. You borrow them to wear them rashly. If they are broken, you can't afford to pay." Liu Baozhen said with a frightened face.

Everyone looked at each other. Is this the way to dissuade?

Liu Baozhu curled her lips and said, "What are the words of sister? These beads are not made of tofu. How could they be worn if I wear them? Twelve sister, don't worry, I will borrow them for a while and I will never ruin yours. Twelve sister will not be stingy and will not even let me wear them for a while."

Speaking of this, Chen Dannian had to take off the beads he was wearing on his hand and handed them to her, "Let me lend it to you to wear."

"Thank you, Sister Twelve." Liu Baozhu happily put the beads on his wrist.

Liu Baozhen said apologetically: "Sister Shen, my Baozhu is spoiled by my parents. She is ignorant. Please don't bother with her."

"I won't care about her." Chen Dannian gritted his teeth and held on.

Liu Baozhu successfully "borrowed" Chen Dannian's bead string and glanced at the red gold crescent moon hairpin on Chen Danxia's head, "Sister Jiu, your hairpin is so beautiful, lend me to wear it."

"Sorry, this hairpin was given by my grandmother and should not be borrowed from it." Chen Danxia said with a cold face.

Liu Baozhu hit a wall with Shen Danxia, ​​which did not discourage her. She continued to work hard and asked Chen Danhui, Chen Danxu, Chen Danwei, Shen Danyue and the Tan sisters to borrow the decorations, but they all found reasons to refuse. The honest Chen Danhui, with the help of Shen Danxu and Shen Danxia, ​​saved her peach-heart hairpin. As for the timid Chen Danli, due to Zhou's harsh treatment, the decoration on her head was penetrated into Liu Baozhu's eyes and escaped. In the end, Liu Baozhu only borrowed Chen Danian's bead string, and forgot to do it. She kept wearing it on her wrist, making Chen Danian feel itchy.

After arranging the evening reception banquet, Lin, who racked his brains, came to discuss the place to live with his mother. She planned to arrange her cousin Bao's daughter in the northwest corner of the big room. When a newly packed one entered the small courtyard, Chen Mushi and Liu Zhansi and his wife took their respective sons to the guest yard. Tan Shuhui and Shen Danhui lived, Chen Danyue and Shen Danxia lived, Liu Baozhen and Shen Danli lived, and Liu Baozhu and Shen Danxun lived.

Chen Danxun learned that her mind was changing rapidly. She was unwilling to live with Liu Baozhu, but she did not dare to object. She approached Chen Danxia and muttered in a low voice: "Sister Nine, aunt is really, the eldest sister and the others are all married, and the room is empty. If you don't live with Sister Tan and the others, you have to squeeze in with us."

Chen Danxia looked at her, smiling without saying a word.

Chen Danxun met her clear eyes, his heart thumped and he hurriedly walked away.

In the east room, Dow said directly: "Sister-in-law's arrangement is inappropriate."

Lin's smile shrank and asked, "What's wrong?" In order to save money, Lin's houses that were unoccupied were not arranged to clean, and it was too late to clean temporarily. Moreover, if these four girls had to set up separate accommodation, they would have to buy a lot of servants and increase their expenses.

"Old lady, the master Yake is here and relatives are here, so they should live comfortably and comfortably. There are no houses in the house, so is it necessary to squeeze together?" Tao did not want Chen Danxia to be wronged.

Chen's mother thought for a while and said, "The third family is right. Let the eldest girl of the Tan family live in the second girl's room, Yue Yatou live in the third girl's room, Baozhen lives in the fourth girl's room, and Baozhu lives in the fifth girl's room. Each place is added with four young girls and two rough women."

This old woman, who touched her lips and said it was relaxed. She added seven people in one place, and twenty-eight people in four. How much money would it cost? Lin was so distressed that she couldn't maintain her smile on her face. She viciously used her eye knife to tear her down, blaming her for being too much.

Tao ignored it, and Chen's mother looked calm and said, "What are you doing here? You can't make arrangements yet."

Lin did not dare to face Chen's mother, for fear that Chen's mother would take back her housekeeper's authority, so she stepped out embarrassedly. When she walked to the door, she heard Zhou say, "Sister-in-law is getting less and less thorough in doing things now." Lin's face was so angry that she looked like the bottom of a pot.
