"Pfft... cough cough cough..."
Mrs. Du naturally understood this truth, but she still said worriedly: "I'm afraid that your eldest brother will become famous at a young age, and he will be arrogant and unwilling to look back until his head is broken and bleeding."
Zhuang Jing could see clearly that she was choking from laughter, so she said, "Sister Zhuo'er, why are you laughing?"
Miss Wei San was anxious and wanted to stay, but was pulled by Miss Wei Er. She had to return the favor with a depressed expression. After the Zhuang brothers and sisters, Hua and Du walked away, she stamped her feet bitterly and said, "It's not easy." I found an opportunity to invite my cousin out, but this prodigal man got into trouble."
The two girls quickly said goodbye to the Zhuang brothers and sisters, and Zhuang Jing reluctantly saw them off the show pavilion.
After saying that, regardless of whether Miss Wei Si wanted it or not, she dragged her away and left without even saying hello. The Fourth Miss couldn't help but looked back frequently, her eyes still mostly falling on Zhuang Zheng, but Zhuang Zheng's eyes were drooping, looking at his own hands, and he never noticed her at all.
The two girls quickly said goodbye to the Zhuang brothers and sisters, and Zhuang Jing reluctantly saw them off the show pavilion.
"Since no one can compete with you, why are you in a hurry?" Miss Wei Er teased: "If you are anxious here, why not go to your aunt more often to please your aunt? I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve your dreams." .”
Hua Zhuo just took a sip of scented tea. After listening to Master Wei San's words, he couldn't hold it in for a moment and choked. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and turned away.
"This is a good idea, but Miss Hua is delicate and expensive, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite her, so just invite Miss Du." Miss Wei San hesitated for a moment. In fact, whether it was Hua Zhuo or Du Wan, she could She didn’t want to invite Hua Zhuo Zungui and Du Wan Qingli. In her eyes, these two girls were the objects of prevention. If one was missing, the other would be better. In comparison, the noble Hua Zhuo was more of a threat.
But after Hua Zhuo and Du Wan followed the banker's brother and sister back, they sat down and chatted for a while. Then a girl came and they went to the front hall. Mrs. Du had already said goodbye to the county governor's wife.
When Mrs. Du heard this, she didn't understand what it meant. She had also heard a little bit about the situation of the Wei family. Mrs. Wei had a son and two daughters. The two daughters were said to be of good character and were both called Shuyuan, but that one The son, on the other hand, is unmotivated and is not favored by Master Wei. He is the son of two concubines. The second son is only fifteen years old and is already a boy in the government school. He is highly valued by the teachers in the government school. The third son has a reputation for being dissolute. His temperament is very weird, but he is somewhat like the young Wei Tuo who became a Bodhisattva in the flesh. Therefore, he is very fond of Master Wei, and he is more and more doted on. However, he does not fall into Mrs. Wei's favor. Eyes, often scolded.
With that said, he quickly came over and pulled Miss Wei San to sit down again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear.
After her interruption, Miss Wei San had already calmed down. She was also very intelligent. Miss Wei Er briefly said a few words in her ear and she understood. When she heard what Zhuang Jing said, she said: " What Miss Du is talking about is not a poem, so it cannot be compared like this. This limerick is just about a snow scene, coming from the sky and the earth to an object. It is real and interesting. It can only make people laugh and is considered a small piece of wisdom. What Miss Du said is just the opposite. , the fool sees only one bird, the wise man makes progress and sees the snow beyond the bird, but the wise man looks at the world at a glance, and the birds and snow are all white. The great wisdom of the Buddha lies in this, and the so-called perfection is all Everything I saw and heard is complete. Based on this, Miss Du's words are even better."
Hua Pao and Du Wan looked at each other, then stood up and saluted.
Zhuang Jing could see clearly that she was choking from laughter, so she said, "Sister Zhuo'er, why are you laughing?"
Du Wan was thoughtful, and when he saw Mrs. Du's expression, he knew what she was worried about, so he snuggled up to his mother and whispered, "When the provincial examination is over in the fall, my eldest brother will be back."
"It doesn't matter. I see that my cousin has a good relationship with Miss Hua and Miss Du. In two days, we will post another message to invite them to come over. My cousin will definitely be there to accompany me. When my cousin comes, my cousin will naturally follow. You see Isn’t that what it is today?”
"No, I'm not laughing at anything..." Hua Zhuo quickly sat up straight, tried to look dignified, and said, "I just remembered a limerick after listening to Wan'er's words just now."
Miss Wei San blushed and spat: "I can do whatever I want. I just do what my mother wants. Do you think I really like my cousin's old and unreasonable look?"
"It doesn't matter. I see that my cousin has a good relationship with Miss Hua and Miss Du. In two days, we will post another message to invite them to come over. My cousin will definitely be there to accompany me. When my cousin comes, my cousin will naturally follow. You see Isn’t that what it is today?”
Zhuang Zheng glanced at her lightly. He knew what the girl was laughing about, but he was too lazy to expose it to save face for his cousin. Only women and villains are difficult to care for. Everyone sitting here, except for women, is a villain. My cousin squeezed in and accidentally squeezed everyone in, including himself.
Du Wan suppressed laughter and said nothing. Hua Zhuo knew that she didn't like to gossip about people, so he said: "Aunt Du, we feel that there are many brothers and sisters in the Wei family, which is very lively."
Mrs. Du naturally understood this truth, but she still said worriedly: "I'm afraid that your eldest brother will become famous at a young age, and he will be arrogant and unwilling to look back until his head is broken and bleeding."
These two girls must have watched a good show in the family's inner house. Mrs. Du smiled lightly, thinking about her family's situation again, she couldn't help but feel a little proud. The master treated her wholeheartedly. Not only did he not have any concubines in the house, he didn't even have a common roommate. She lived up to his affection and gave birth to four sons and one daughter in succession. All four sons were filial and progressive, and they were brothers and friends. Brother Gong, let’s not talk about it. Even the only daughter is sensible and good-looking. She has inherited the Du family’s nature of loving reading. She is not boasting. In the entire Huainan Mansion, based on knowledge alone, her daughter is Only share.
"The country and the mountains are all in one, the wells are black, the yellow dogs are white, and the white dogs are swollen." Hua Zhuo did not see Zhuang Zheng's eyes, but still smiled to himself and explained: "This is Zhang's oil poem, and it also talks about the snow scene. It's actually similar to what Wan'er said just now, but it's just a little cruder and not elegant enough, making everyone laugh."
If Mrs. Du is still worried about something, it is the marriage of her eldest son. The eldest son is nineteen years old. He won the first place in the provincial examination six years ago and was sent to Xiyin Academy in Jiangning County by his master to study. He has never come back. However, only two letters came back every year to report that I was safe. Now the second son and the third son have already been engaged, and even the youngest son, who is only five years old, has a baby girl to marry on the fingertips. Only the eldest son is not married. She urged the master several times to call the eldest son first. He came back and got married, and then he could study as much as he wanted, but the master refused, saying that the provincial examination was coming soon and his son should not be distracted.
With that said, he quickly came over and pulled Miss Wei San to sit down again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear.
"The country and the mountains are all in one, the wells are black, the yellow dogs are white, and the white dogs are swollen."

"No, I'm not laughing at anything..." Hua Zhuo quickly sat up straight, tried to look dignified, and said, "I just remembered a limerick after listening to Wan'er's words just now."
She was furious at this moment, and she still had the calm look at the beginning.
"There are indeed some similarities." Miss Wei Er originally had some difficulty understanding the saying "An egret stands in the snow, a fool sees a heron, a wise man sees snow, and a wise man sees white". After hearing what Hua Zhuo said, she After realizing for a while, he finally noticed the embarrassment of the third sister, and hurriedly came to the rescue: "Third sister, you are always better at talking than me, why don't you explain it to Miss Du."
"This is a good idea, but Miss Hua is delicate and expensive, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite her, so just invite Miss Du." Miss Wei San hesitated for a moment. In fact, whether it was Hua Zhuo or Du Wan, she could She didn’t want to invite Hua Zhuo Zungui and Du Wan Qingli. In her eyes, these two girls were the objects of prevention.

Miss Wei San was anxious and wanted to stay, but was pulled by Miss Wei Er. She had to return the favor with a depressed expression.

"Where is the chance?" Miss Wei San said angrily: "In the past two days, my cousin, apart from going out once with my aunt, has only been playing chess and studying in the house. It's not easy to see him. How can there be another chance? Ask him to come out."
Miss Wei San was teased so much that she blushed and paused.
With that said, he quickly came over and pulled Miss Wei San to sit down again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear.
Hua Zhuo just took a sip of scented tea. After listening to Master Wei San's words, he couldn't hold it in for a moment and choked. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and turned away.

Therefore, he is very fond of Master Wei, and he is more and more doted on. However, he does not fall into Mrs. Wei's favor. Eyes, often scolded.
"The white dog's body is swollen?" Zhuang Jing was chuckling at the moment, "The snow fell on the white dog's body, and it was indeed swollen. Why did Sister Zhuo'er say that this poem is not as good as what Sister Wan'er said? The whole poem It doesn't include the word "snow", but it makes a snowy scene really real, I think it's wonderful."
"The country and the mountains are all in one, the wells are black, the yellow dogs are white, and the white dogs are swollen." Hua Zhuo did not see Zhuang Zheng's eyes, but still smiled to himself and explained: "This is Zhang's oil poem, and it also talks about the snow scene.

In the end, Zhuang Zheng didn't see a flower in his hand, so he pulled his sister to stand up and said, "Thank you second cousin for the treat. The scented tea is delicious. I really enjoyed it."
Hua Pao and Du Wan looked at each other, then stood up and saluted.
"Since no one can compete with you, why are you in a hurry?" Miss Wei Er teased: "If you are anxious here, why not go to your aunt more often to please your aunt? I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve your dreams." .”
Miss Wei Er hurriedly comforted her and said, "You don't have to be too impatient. Anyway, my cousin will stay at our house for a few days. I will look for an opportunity for you to talk to him next time."
Du Wan was thoughtful, and when he saw Mrs. Du's expression, he knew what she was worried about, so he snuggled up to his mother and whispered, "When the provincial examination is over in the fall, my eldest brother will be back."
Miss Wei Si quickly grasped her sleeves, looking confused and confused.
At this point, it can be considered a conclusion. There are only boys and girls here. The oldest ones are only thirteen or fourteen years old, but they are not ordinary ignorant children. I don’t care about Miss Wei San’s words. Of course. Know it well. So Hua Zhuo laughed and wanted to pour tea for Du Wan with his own hands. Miss Wei Er thought she was the master and was not willing to let the guest do it, so she went to grab the white-glazed blue and white tea cup, but accidentally spilled the tea. , the sleeves of Miss Wei Si, who was caught in the middle, got wet.
Hua Zhuo looked at the back of the third young master Wei in surprise, and felt puzzled in his heart. It seemed that the third young master was actually a sensible person, and had already seen through the thoughts of everyone here. Yes, he is a first-class disruptor. No wonder his sisters don't look good when they see him.
Miss Wei San blushed and spat: "I can do whatever I want. I just do what my mother wants. Do you think I really like my cousin's old and unreasonable look?"
But after Hua Zhuo and Du Wan followed the banker's brother and sister back, they sat down and chatted for a while. Then a girl came and they went to the front hall. Mrs. Du had already said goodbye to the county governor's wife.
"Her?" Miss Wei San dismissed it, "She is a concubine. Even if I are willing to let her, my uncle and aunt still won't."
This is the time to say goodbye.
Miss Wei Si quickly grasped her sleeves, looking confused and confused.
Hua Pao and Du Wan looked at each other, then stood up and saluted.
"Where is the chance?" Miss Wei San said angrily: "In the past two days, my cousin, apart from going out once with my aunt, has only been playing chess and studying in the house. It's not easy to see him. How can there be another chance? Ask him to come out."

Miss Wei San was teased so much that she blushed and paused.
Young Master Wei San was immediately overjoyed and applauded: "That's great. After the banquet is over, everyone can go to their respective places, so as not to be sulking here, sulking uncomfortably, and trying to smooth things over. It's really a good thing." You are busy with work. Those who are performing are not tired, but those who are watching the theater are tired too. Come on, fourth sister, I will take you back to the house to change clothes."
Du Wan quickly explained: "Mom, don't worry. My eldest brother is young. His talent and learning are more than enough for the provincial examination but not enough for the general examination. He will have to study hard for a few more years before he can take the general examination."
"Second sister..."
This is the time to say goodbye.
"It doesn't matter. I see that my cousin has a good relationship with Miss Hua and Miss Du. In two days, we will post another message to invite them to come over. My cousin will definitely be there to accompany me. When my cousin comes, my cousin will naturally follow. You see Isn’t that what it is today?”

"Yes, yes, third sister, this is all for our family. I know in my heart that you don't like your cousin at all..."
This is the time to say goodbye.
Mrs. Du sighed and said, "It's not that fast. After passing the provincial examination, it will be the general examination next spring."
Zhuang Jing could see clearly that she was choking from laughter, so she said, "Sister Zhuo'er, why are you laughing?"
"This is a good idea, but Miss Hua is delicate and expensive, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite her, so just invite Miss Du." Miss Wei San hesitated for a moment. In fact, whether it was Hua Zhuo or Du Wan, she could She didn’t want to invite Hua Zhuo Zungui and Du Wan Qingli. In her eyes, these two girls were the objects of prevention. If one was missing, the other would be better. In comparison, the noble Hua Zhuo was more of a threat.

Miss Wei Er hurriedly comforted her and said, "You don't have to be too impatient. Anyway, my cousin will stay at our house for a few days. I will look for an opportunity for you to talk to him next time."
With that said, he quickly came over and pulled Miss Wei San to sit down again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear.
She was furious at this moment, and she still had the calm look at the beginning.
Young Master Wei San was immediately overjoyed and applauded: "That's great. After the banquet is over, everyone can go to their respective places, so as not to be sulking here, sulking uncomfortably, and trying to smooth things over. It's really a good thing." You are busy with work. Those who are performing are not tired, but those who are watching the theater are tired too. Come on, fourth sister, I will take you back to the house to change clothes."
When he got on the carriage, Hua Zhuo felt his body relax. He looked at Du Wan and laughed at the same time.
At this point, it can be considered a conclusion. There are only boys and girls here. The oldest ones are only thirteen or fourteen years old, but they are not ordinary ignorant children. I don’t care about Miss Wei San’s words. Of course. Know it well. So Hua Zhuo laughed and wanted to pour tea for Du Wan with his own hands. Miss Wei Er thought she was the master and was not willing to let the guest do it, so she went to grab the white-glazed blue and white tea cup, but accidentally spilled the tea. , the sleeves of Miss Wei Si, who was caught in the middle, got wet.
Miss Wei Er hurriedly comforted her and said, "You don't have to be too impatient. Anyway, my cousin will stay at our house for a few days. I will look for an opportunity for you to talk to him next time."
Mrs. Du naturally understood this truth, but she still said worriedly: "I'm afraid that your eldest brother will become famous at a young age, and he will be arrogant and unwilling to look back until his head is broken and bleeding."
Du Wan quickly explained: "Mom, don't worry. My eldest brother is young. His talent and learning are more than enough for the provincial examination but not enough for the general examination. He will have to study hard for a few more years before he can take the general examination."
Zhuang Jing could see clearly that she was choking from laughter, so she said, "Sister Zhuo'er, why are you laughing?"
But after Hua Zhuo and Du Wan followed the banker's brother and sister back, they sat down and chatted for a while. Then a girl came and they went to the front hall. Mrs. Du had already said goodbye to the county governor's wife.
At this point, it can be considered a conclusion. There are only boys and girls here. The oldest ones are only thirteen or fourteen years old, but they are not ordinary ignorant children. I don’t care about Miss Wei San’s words. Of course. Know it well. So Hua Zhuo laughed and wanted to pour tea for Du Wan with his own hands. Miss Wei Er thought she was the master and was not willing to let the guest do it, so she went to grab the white-glazed blue and white tea cup, but accidentally spilled the tea. , the sleeves of Miss Wei Si, who was caught in the middle, got wet.
Miss Wei Er knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "What do you want to prevent them from doing? They are still young. And this matter ultimately depends on what my uncle and aunt want. Even if my cousin gets along well with them, what does it matter?" Use it. In my opinion, if you guard against them, you might as well guard against the fourth sister. I think she is also somewhat interested in her cousin."
Mrs. Du sighed and said, "It's not that fast. After passing the provincial examination, it will be the general examination next spring."
Du Wan was thoughtful, and when he saw Mrs. Du's expression, he knew what she was worried about, so he snuggled up to his mother and whispered, "When the provincial examination is over in the fall, my eldest brother will be back."
"Where is the chance?" Miss Wei San said angrily: "In the past two days, my cousin, apart from going out once with my aunt, has only been playing chess and studying in the house. It's not easy to see him. How can there be another chance? Ask him to come out."
Du Wan suppressed laughter and said nothing. Hua Zhuo knew that she didn't like to gossip about people, so he said: "Aunt Du, we feel that there are many brothers and sisters in the Wei family, which is very lively."
"It doesn't matter. I see that my cousin has a good relationship with Miss Hua and Miss Du. In two days, we will post another message to invite them to come over. My cousin will definitely be there to accompany me. When my cousin comes, my cousin will naturally follow. You see Isn’t that what it is today?”
"The white dog's body is swollen?" Zhuang Jing was chuckling at the moment, "The snow fell on the white dog's body, and it was indeed swollen. Why did Sister Zhuo'er say that this poem is not as good as what Sister Wan'er said? The whole poem It doesn't include the word "snow", but it makes a snowy scene really real, I think it's wonderful."
Miss Wei Si quickly grasped her sleeves, looking confused and confused.
Mrs. Du naturally understood this truth, but she still said worriedly: "I'm afraid that your eldest brother will become famous at a young age, and he will be arrogant and unwilling to look back until his head is broken and bleeding."
"It doesn't matter. I see that my cousin has a good relationship with Miss Hua and Miss Du. In two days, we will post another message to invite them to come over. My cousin will definitely be there to accompany me. When my cousin comes, my cousin will naturally follow. You see Isn’t that what it is today?”
"It doesn't matter. I see that my cousin has a good relationship with Miss Hua and Miss Du. In two days, we will post another message to invite them to come over. My cousin will definitely be there to accompany me. When my cousin comes, my cousin will naturally follow. You see Isn’t that what it is today?”
After saying that, regardless of whether Miss Wei Si wanted it or not, she dragged her away and left without even saying hello. The Fourth Miss couldn't help but looked back frequently, her eyes still mostly falling on Zhuang Zheng, but Zhuang Zheng's eyes were drooping, looking at his own hands, and he never noticed her at all.
"No, I'm not laughing at anything..." Hua Zhuo quickly sat up straight, tried to look dignified, and said, "I just remembered a limerick after listening to Wan'er's words just now."
"This is a good idea, but Miss Hua is delicate and expensive, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite her, so just invite Miss Du." Miss Wei San hesitated for a moment. In fact, whether it was Hua Zhuo or Du Wan, she could She didn’t want to invite Hua Zhuo Zungui and Du Wan Qingli. In her eyes, these two girls were the objects of prevention. If one was missing, the other would be better. In comparison, the noble Hua Zhuo was more of a threat.
She was furious at this moment, and she still had the calm look at the beginning.
Young Master Wei San was immediately overjoyed and applauded: "That's great. After the banquet is over, everyone can go to their respective places, so as not to be sulking here, sulking uncomfortably, and trying to smooth things over. It's really a good thing." You are busy with work. Those who are performing are not tired, but those who are watching the theater are tired too. Come on, fourth sister, I will take you back to the house to change clothes."

Even if my cousin gets along well with them, what does it matter?" Use it. In my opinion, if you guard against them, you might as well guard against the fourth sister. I think she is also somewhat interested in her cousin."
Miss Wei San blushed and spat: "I can do whatever I want. I just do what my mother wants. Do you think I really like my cousin's old and unreasonable look?"
"Her?" Miss Wei San dismissed it, "She is a concubine. Even if I are willing to let her, my uncle and aunt still won't."
Hua Pao and Du Wan looked at each other, then stood up and saluted.
"Her?" Miss Wei San dismissed it, "She is a concubine. Even if I are willing to let her, my uncle and aunt still won't."
Zhuang Jing could see clearly that she was choking from laughter, so she said, "Sister Zhuo'er, why are you laughing?"
Du Wan quickly explained: "Mom, don't worry. My eldest brother is young. His talent and learning are more than enough for the provincial examination but not enough for the general examination. He will have to study hard for a few more years before he can take the general examination."
Hua Pao and Du Wan looked at each other, then stood up and saluted.
Miss Wei San was teased so much that she blushed and paused.
Du Wan suppressed laughter and said nothing. Hua Zhuo knew that she didn't like to gossip about people, so he said: "Aunt Du, we feel that there are many brothers and sisters in the Wei family, which is very lively."
Du Wan suppressed laughter and said nothing. Hua Zhuo knew that she didn't like to gossip about people, so he said: "Aunt Du, we feel that there are many brothers and sisters in the Wei family, which is very lively."
If Mrs. Du is still worried about something, it is the marriage of her eldest son. The eldest son is nineteen years old. He won the first place in the provincial examination six years ago and was sent to Xiyin Academy in Jiangning County by his master to study. He has never come back. However, only two letters came back every year to report that I was safe. Now the second son and the third son have already been engaged, and even the youngest son, who is only five years old, has a baby girl to marry on the fingertips. Only the eldest son is not married. She urged the master several times to call the eldest son first. He came back and got married, and then he could study as much as he wanted, but the master refused, saying that the provincial examination was coming soon and his son should not be distracted.
"The white dog's body is swollen?" Zhuang Jing was chuckling at the moment, "The snow fell on the white dog's body, and it was indeed swollen. Why did Sister Zhuo'er say that this poem is not as good as what Sister Wan'er said? The whole poem It doesn't include the word "snow", but it makes a snowy scene really real, I think it's wonderful."
"Since no one can compete with you, why are you in a hurry?" Miss Wei Er teased: "If you are anxious here, why not go to your aunt more often to please your aunt? I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve your dreams." .”
"The country and the mountains are all in one, the wells are black, the yellow dogs are white, and the white dogs are swollen." Hua Zhuo did not see Zhuang Zheng's eyes, but still smiled to himself and explained: "This is Zhang's oil poem, and it also talks about the snow scene. It's actually similar to what Wan'er said just now, but it's just a little cruder and not elegant enough, making everyone laugh."
Miss Wei San was anxious and wanted to stay, but was pulled by Miss Wei Er. She had to return the favor with a depressed expression. After the Zhuang brothers and sisters, Hua and Du walked away, she stamped her feet bitterly and said, "It's not easy." I found an opportunity to invite my cousin out, but this prodigal man got into trouble."
Miss Wei San blushed and spat: "I can do whatever I want. I just do what my mother wants. Do you think I really like my cousin's old and unreasonable look?"
Zhuang Jing could see clearly that she was choking from laughter, so she said, "Sister Zhuo'er, why are you laughing?"
When he got on the carriage, Hua Zhuo felt his body relax. He looked at Du Wan and laughed at the same time.
With that said, he quickly came over and pulled Miss Wei San to sit down again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear.
"It doesn't matter. I see that my cousin has a good relationship with Miss Hua and Miss Du. In two days, we will post another message to invite them to come over. My cousin will definitely be there to accompany me. When my cousin comes, my cousin will naturally follow. You see Isn’t that what it is today?”
Hua Pao and Du Wan looked at each other, then stood up and saluted.
Hua Zhuo just took a sip of scented tea. After listening to Master Wei San's words, he couldn't hold it in for a moment and choked. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and turned away.
"Yes, yes, third sister, this is all for our family. I know in my heart that you don't like your cousin at all..."
Zhuang Zheng glanced at her lightly. He knew what the girl was laughing about, but he was too lazy to expose it to save face for his cousin. Only women and villains are difficult to care for. Everyone sitting here, except for women, is a villain. My cousin squeezed in and accidentally squeezed everyone in, including himself.
In the end, Zhuang Zheng didn't see a flower in his hand, so he pulled his sister to stand up and said, "Thank you second cousin for the treat. The scented tea is delicious. I really enjoyed it."
"Second sister..."
"No, I'm not laughing at anything..." Hua Zhuo quickly sat up straight, tried to look dignified, and said, "I just remembered a limerick after listening to Wan'er's words just now."

Mrs. Du naturally understood this truth, but she still said worriedly: "I'm afraid that your eldest brother will become famous at a young age, and he will be arrogant and unwilling to look back until his head is broken and bleeding."
But after Hua Zhuo and Du Wan followed the banker's brother and sister back, they sat down and chatted for a while. Then a girl came and they went to the front hall. Mrs. Du had already said goodbye to the county governor's wife.
After her interruption, Miss Wei San had already calmed down. She was also very intelligent. Miss Wei Er briefly said a few words in her ear and she understood. When she heard what Zhuang Jing said, she said: " What Miss Du is talking about is not a poem, so it cannot be compared like this. This limerick is just about a snow scene, coming from the sky and the earth to an object. It is real and interesting. It can only make people laugh and is considered a small piece of wisdom. What Miss Du said is just the opposite. , the fool sees only one bird, the wise man makes progress and sees the snow beyond the bird, but the wise man looks at the world at a glance, and the birds and snow are all white. The great wisdom of the Buddha lies in this, and the so-called perfection is all Everything I saw and heard is complete. Based on this, Miss Du's words are even better."
Miss Wei San blushed and spat: "I can do whatever I want. I just do what my mother wants. Do you think I really like my cousin's old and unreasonable look?"
"Her?" Miss Wei San dismissed it, "She is a concubine. Even if I are willing to let her, my uncle and aunt still won't."
Miss Wei Er knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "What do you want to prevent them from doing? They are still young. And this matter ultimately depends on what my uncle and aunt want.

Hua Zhuo just took a sip of scented tea. After listening to Master Wei San's words, he couldn't hold it in for a moment and choked. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and turned away.
Mrs. Du looked at them and wondered: "What's going on? How can you be so successful?"
The two girls quickly said goodbye to the Zhuang brothers and sisters, and Zhuang Jing reluctantly saw them off the show pavilion.
"Second sister..."
"This is a good idea, but Miss Hua is delicate and expensive, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite her, so just invite Miss Du." Miss Wei San hesitated for a moment. In fact, whether it was Hua Zhuo or Du Wan, she could She didn’t want to invite Hua Zhuo Zungui and Du Wan Qingli. In her eyes, these two girls were the objects of prevention. If one was missing, the other would be better. In comparison, the noble Hua Zhuo was more of a threat.

When he got on the carriage, Hua Zhuo felt his body relax. He looked at Du Wan and laughed at the same time.
Miss Wei Si quickly grasped her sleeves, looking confused and confused.
Hua Zhuo looked at the back of the third young master Wei in surprise, and felt puzzled in his heart. It seemed that the third young master was actually a sensible person, and had already seen through the thoughts of everyone here. Yes, he is a first-class disruptor. No wonder his sisters don't look good when they see him.
Zhuang Jing could see clearly that she was choking from laughter, so she said, "Sister Zhuo'er, why are you laughing?"
Miss Wei San was teased so much that she blushed and paused.
Mrs. Du looked at them and wondered: "What's going on? How can you be so successful?"
After saying that, regardless of whether Miss Wei Si wanted it or not, she dragged her away and left without even saying hello. The Fourth Miss couldn't help but looked back frequently, her eyes still mostly falling on Zhuang Zheng, but Zhuang Zheng's eyes were drooping, looking at his own hands, and he never noticed her at all.
Young Master Wei San was immediately overjoyed and applauded: "That's great. After the banquet is over, everyone can go to their respective places, so as not to be sulking here, sulking uncomfortably, and trying to smooth things over. It's really a good thing." You are busy with work. Those who are performing are not tired, but those who are watching the theater are tired too. Come on, fourth sister, I will take you back to the house to change clothes."
Du Wan suppressed laughter and said nothing. Hua Zhuo knew that she didn't like to gossip about people, so he said: "Aunt Du, we feel that there are many brothers and sisters in the Wei family, which is very lively."

Mrs. Du looked at them and wondered: "What's going on? How can you be so successful?"
These two girls must have watched a good show in the family's inner house. Mrs. Du smiled lightly, thinking about her family's situation again, she couldn't help but feel a little proud. The master treated her wholeheartedly. Not only did he not have any concubines in the house, he didn't even have a common roommate. She lived up to his affection and gave birth to four sons and one daughter in succession. All four sons were filial and progressive, and they were brothers and friends. Brother Gong, let’s not talk about it. Even the only daughter is sensible and good-looking. She has inherited the Du family’s nature of loving reading. She is not boasting. In the entire Huainan Mansion, based on knowledge alone, her daughter is Only share.
"Second sister..."
Du Wan suppressed laughter and said nothing. Hua Zhuo knew that she didn't like to gossip about people, so he said: "Aunt Du, we feel that there are many brothers and sisters in the Wei family, which is very lively."
"The country and the mountains are all in one, the wells are black, the yellow dogs are white, and the white dogs are swollen."

If one was missing, the other would be better. In comparison, the noble Hua Zhuo was more of a threat.
In the end, Zhuang Zheng didn't see a flower in his hand, so he pulled his sister to stand up and said, "Thank you second cousin for the treat. The scented tea is delicious. I really enjoyed it."
When Mrs. Du heard this, she didn't understand what it meant. She had also heard a little bit about the situation of the Wei family. Mrs. Wei had a son and two daughters. The two daughters were said to be of good character and were both called Shuyuan, but that one The son, on the other hand, is unmotivated and is not favored by Master Wei. He is the son of two concubines. The second son is only fifteen years old and is already a boy in the government school. He is highly valued by the teachers in the government school. The third son has a reputation for being dissolute. His temperament is very weird, but he is somewhat like the young Wei Tuo who became a Bodhisattva in the flesh. Therefore, he is very fond of Master Wei, and he is more and more doted on. However, he does not fall into Mrs. Wei's favor. Eyes, often scolded.
At this point, it can be considered a conclusion. There are only boys and girls here. The oldest ones are only thirteen or fourteen years old, but they are not ordinary ignorant children. I don’t care about Miss Wei San’s words. Of course. Know it well. So Hua Zhuo laughed and wanted to pour tea for Du Wan with his own hands. Miss Wei Er thought she was the master and was not willing to let the guest do it, so she went to grab the white-glazed blue and white tea cup, but accidentally spilled the tea. , the sleeves of Miss Wei Si, who was caught in the middle, got wet.
This is the time to say goodbye.
These two girls must have watched a good show in the family's inner house. Mrs. Du smiled lightly, thinking about her family's situation again, she couldn't help but feel a little proud. The master treated her wholeheartedly. Not only did he not have any concubines in the house, he didn't even have a common roommate.

Du Wan was thoughtful, and when he saw Mrs. Du's expression, he knew what she was worried about, so he snuggled up to his mother and whispered, "When the provincial examination is over in the fall, my eldest brother will be back."
Miss Wei Si quickly grasped her sleeves, looking confused and confused.
Mrs. Du naturally understood this truth, but she still said worriedly: "I'm afraid that your eldest brother will become famous at a young age, and he will be arrogant and unwilling to look back until his head is broken and bleeding."

"There are indeed some similarities." Miss Wei Er originally had some difficulty understanding the saying "An egret stands in the snow, a fool sees a heron, a wise man sees snow, and a wise man sees white". After hearing what Hua Zhuo said, she After realizing for a while, he finally noticed the embarrassment of the third sister, and hurriedly came to the rescue: "Third sister, you are always better at talking than me, why don't you explain it to Miss Du."
"Her?" Miss Wei San dismissed it, "She is a concubine. Even if I are willing to let her, my uncle and aunt still won't."
Miss Wei Er knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "What do you want to prevent them from doing? They are still young. And this matter ultimately depends on what my uncle and aunt want. Even if my cousin gets along well with them, what does it matter?" Use it. In my opinion, if you guard against them, you might as well guard against the fourth sister. I think she is also somewhat interested in her cousin."
After her interruption, Miss Wei San had already calmed down. She was also very intelligent. Miss Wei Er briefly said a few words in her ear and she understood. When she heard what Zhuang Jing said, she said: " What Miss Du is talking about is not a poem, so it cannot be compared like this. This limerick is just about a snow scene, coming from the sky and the earth to an object. It is real and interesting. It can only make people laugh and is considered a small piece of wisdom. What Miss Du said is just the opposite. , the fool sees only one bird, the wise man makes progress and sees the snow beyond the bird, but the wise man looks at the world at a glance, and the birds and snow are all white. The great wisdom of the Buddha lies in this, and the so-called perfection is all Everything I saw and heard is complete. Based on this, Miss Du's words are even better."
Du Wan was thoughtful, and when he saw Mrs. Du's expression, he knew what she was worried about, so he snuggled up to his mother and whispered, "When the provincial examination is over in the fall, my eldest brother will be back."
In the end, Zhuang Zheng didn't see a flower in his hand, so he pulled his sister to stand up and said, "Thank you second cousin for the treat. The scented tea is delicious. I really enjoyed it."
"Since no one can compete with you, why are you in a hurry?" Miss Wei Er teased: "If you are anxious here, why not go to your aunt more often to please your aunt? I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve your dreams." .”
"The country and the mountains are all in one, the wells are black, the yellow dogs are white, and the white dogs are swollen."

Hua Pao and Du Wan looked at each other, then stood up and saluted.
Mrs. Du sighed and said, "It's not that fast. After passing the provincial examination, it will be the general examination next spring."
Miss Wei Er hurriedly comforted her and said, "You don't have to be too impatient. Anyway, my cousin will stay at our house for a few days. I will look for an opportunity for you to talk to him next time."
With that said, he quickly came over and pulled Miss Wei San to sit down again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear.
"Since no one can compete with you, why are you in a hurry?" Miss Wei Er teased: "If you are anxious here, why not go to your aunt more often to please your aunt? I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve your dreams." .”
Du Wan quickly explained: "Mom, don't worry. My eldest brother is young. His talent and learning are more than enough for the provincial examination but not enough for the general examination. He will have to study hard for a few more years before he can take the general examination."
Miss Wei Si quickly grasped her sleeves, looking confused and confused.
Miss Wei San was teased so much that she blushed and paused.
"Second sister..."
Miss Wei San was anxious and wanted to stay, but was pulled by Miss Wei Er. She had to return the favor with a depressed expression. After the Zhuang brothers and sisters, Hua and Du walked away, she stamped her feet bitterly and said, "It's not easy." I found an opportunity to invite my cousin out, but this prodigal man got into trouble."
Du Wan quickly explained: "Mom, don't worry. My eldest brother is young. His talent and learning are more than enough for the provincial examination but not enough for the general examination. He will have to study hard for a few more years before he can take the general examination."
Miss Wei San blushed and spat: "I can do whatever I want. I just do what my mother wants. Do you think I really like my cousin's old and unreasonable look?"
"Second sister..."
Miss Wei Si quickly grasped her sleeves, looking confused and confused.
Hua Zhuo looked at the back of the third young master Wei in surprise, and felt puzzled in his heart. It seemed that the third young master was actually a sensible person, and had already seen through the thoughts of everyone here. Yes, he is a first-class disruptor. No wonder his sisters don't look good when they see him.
"There are indeed some similarities." Miss Wei Er originally had some difficulty understanding the saying "An egret stands in the snow, a fool sees a heron, a wise man sees snow, and a wise man sees white". After hearing what Hua Zhuo said, she After realizing for a while, he finally noticed the embarrassment of the third sister, and hurriedly came to the rescue: "Third sister, you are always better at talking than me, why don't you explain it to Miss Du."
Hua Zhuo just took a sip of scented tea. After listening to Master Wei San's words, he couldn't hold it in for a moment and choked. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and turned away.
"Since no one can compete with you, why are you in a hurry?" Miss Wei Er teased: "If you are anxious here, why not go to your aunt more often to please your aunt? I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve your dreams." .”
"No, I'm not laughing at anything..." Hua Zhuo quickly sat up straight, tried to look dignified, and said, "I just remembered a limerick after listening to Wan'er's words just now."
Mrs. Du naturally understood this truth, but she still said worriedly: "I'm afraid that your eldest brother will become famous at a young age, and he will be arrogant and unwilling to look back until his head is broken and bleeding."
Mrs. Du naturally understood this truth, but she still said worriedly: "I'm afraid that your eldest brother will become famous at a young age, and he will be arrogant and unwilling to look back until his head is broken and bleeding."
With that said, he quickly came over and pulled Miss Wei San to sit down again, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear.
"Second sister..."
Zhuang Zheng glanced at her lightly. He knew what the girl was laughing about, but he was too lazy to expose it to save face for his cousin. Only women and villains are difficult to care for. Everyone sitting here, except for women, is a villain. My cousin squeezed in and accidentally squeezed everyone in, including himself.
"The country and the mountains are all in one, the wells are black, the yellow dogs are white, and the white dogs are swollen." Hua Zhuo did not see Zhuang Zheng's eyes, but still smiled to himself and explained: "This is Zhang's oil poem, and it also talks about the snow scene. It's actually similar to what Wan'er said just now, but it's just a little cruder and not elegant enough, making everyone laugh."
But after Hua Zhuo and Du Wan followed the banker's brother and sister back, they sat down and chatted for a while. Then a girl came and they went to the front hall. Mrs. Du had already said goodbye to the county governor's wife.
Miss Wei San was anxious and wanted to stay, but was pulled by Miss Wei Er. She had to return the favor with a depressed expression. After the Zhuang brothers and sisters, Hua and Du walked away, she stamped her feet bitterly and said, "It's not easy." I found an opportunity to invite my cousin out, but this prodigal man got into trouble."
