Another week has passed. During this time, Xiao Beiyuan came to see her quietly when he was free. Even when Ming Jiuge was taking a nap, he stood quietly outside the room, watching her from a distance, and he felt Satisfied.
As soon as the whole family had lunch on this day, the door came to report that the uncle had come to visit his sister.
"Is it your brother? My brother came to see me."
Hearing the news from Menzi, Shangguan seemed to go to the living room to meet his elder brother with joy.
Ming Jiuge was also very happy to see his mother happily like a child.
She had long heard of this uncle's love for her mother. Shangguan Yuming loved her mother very much when her mother was still in the boudoir. Although the two were not very different in age, Shangguan Yuming seemed to love her own eyes. , Grew up protecting his mother all the way.
When the family carefully selected a good marriage for his mother, the mother was going to go to the red sedan chair for Shili Hongzhuang, and the elder brother, who had always been calm and steady, sent him to the door of the house.
"My elder brother is the best elder brother. At that time, several of my friends in my boudoir envied me having a brother who loved me so much." My mother often said to her. When she talked about the scene of her marriage, her throat became sore. "Fortunately, I have a pair of children like Qing Zhan and Jiuge. Qing Zhan protects you, and my mother is also happy."
After a cup of tea, the family cleaned up. When they walked to the living room, Ming Jiuge saw the uncle who was "the best in the world" according to his mother.
Shangguan Yuming's eyebrows are very similar to those of Shangguan. On his mother's face, he looks gentle and beautiful, while on his uncle's face is more elegant and easygoing.
At this time, he was dressed in a blue shirt and robe. Although he was middle-aged, he was still tall and slender, and his overall temperament was gentle and steady, which made people feel good at first sight.
Even from the merchant Jia, standing next to Mingluan Peak, who is the general, he does not lose his demeanor.
Seeing Ming Jiuge, he even narrowed his eyes, and hurriedly called Xiao Si to give her a piece of the beautiful jade from the East Lake he had obtained in the south of the Yangtze River.
Standing next to Shangguan Yuming was a woman with a slightly darker complexion. Although she was also wearing silk and satin, she did not know whether it was her face with high cheeks and thin lips, or the reason for her not affectionate attitude. Jiuge, who is said to be a "family of scholars" from his ancestors, is just the aunt who "deceased to invest in merchants" nowadays, but it is not like Ming Jiuge
His uncle was so affectionate.
Seeing her husband's beloved sister, she didn't come forward to show her affectionately with Shangguan.
Just saluting her aunt Li Qingqing, Li Qingqing looked terribly warm to her, a long "nephew" and a short "nephew", with stacks of smiles on her face, but the gift to her was from her wrist. A gold bracelet that has fallen off.
Ming Jiuge held a gold bracelet that was still warm, and saw with sharp eyes that several places leaning on the edge of the bracelet had faded, revealing a little gray.
It turned out to be gilded.
Although Li Qingqing followed behind her uncle, her eyes kept glancing at the furnishings of the General's Mansion, sometimes invisibly curled her mouth, and sometimes rolled her eyes slightly.
Don’t say whether it’s just the daughters raised by the “family of scholars” who are raised by the “dead merchants” nowadays. It’s the usual rules of the family. When the children are first enlightened, they will teach some common sense of interacting with others, and do not ask them how to be a guest in another’s home How long the sleeves are good at dancing, you also need to abide by some rules, so that the host is not aware of unpleasantness.
How could my uncle, such a person as breeze Jiyue, ask a woman like Li Qingqing to be his wife
Businessmen pay the most attention to making money with peace and anger. Li Qingqing has a low-handedness at a glance. There are also some gadgets that like to do superficial skills, even with his husband’s relatives and sisters whose blood is thicker than water. What about the uncle in a human-like business circle? It’s a blessing not to sin with a wife.
Ming Jiuge lowered his eyes, secretly thinking in his heart.
After a brief greeting, the family took a seat and started chatting about family life.
"This time, my colleagues from the Beizhou Chamber of Commerce invited me to talk about a business in Wancheng. It was a coincidence that I was going to go to Linyun. The people on the road encountered something and protected us from Cangcheng. Go around."
Shangguan Yuming was very interested and took a sip of tea from the maid, which explained the purpose of this trip.
"At that time, I was worried that I missed the time agreed with my friend on the detour, but Qingqing reminded me that my sister is in Cangcheng. Even if the business is not done, it is worthwhile to visit."
After that, Shangguan Yuming looked at the Ming Jiuge family who was sitting at the master’s seat, and said sincerely: "My little sister has been out of the pavilion for so many years, and my brother is busy with the family’s meal all day long. , But never came to see the little girl,
Brother is really ashamed. "
Shangguan seemed to have his throat choked and said, "Although my brother is busy, he gives the little sister's house New Year gifts and festivals every year. Even if I get some rare toys, I always remember to leave a copy for his nephew and Qing Zhan. My elder brother loves me very much at home, so where can my little sister dare to trouble my elder brother."
Shangguan Yuming was also very emotional when he heard this. He remembered the friendship between brothers and sisters for many years, and the scenes of playing in childhood are still vivid, and the corners of his eyes were wet. He said: "Fortunately, my sister has a good pair of sons and daughters, Qing Zhan The youth is full of vigor and joy. I have not seen Jiuge in these years, and I have become more and more prosperous, calm, and sensible. Your husband and wife have a deep affection and support each other. If your mother is alive, you will see your little sister living well. It’s so good, it’s a real dream and laughs."
Thinking of the mother who sent herself to the sedan chair step by step when married, Shangguan seemed to cry even more.
When everyone saw this, there was another period of comfort and persuasion without mentioning it.
Shangguan Yuming and Li Qingqing were left for dinner in the mansion, and Shangguan Yuming asked the cook who followed him to make many home-style dishes for Shangguan.
Shangguan Yuming talks elegantly and humorously. He doesn't have the copper stench of businessmen. Instead, he looks like a gentle Confucian, painting, calligraphy, piano and chess, economic official career, everything can be talked about, but he is not pedantic. People are like a spring breeze, so they are extremely popular among male guests, and they have long been poured a lot of wine by "Brother Yuming".
Aunt Li Qingqing sat at the table with the female guest, but the scene was not as lively as her husband. Although there was a smile on her face, she looked down on people a little bit slowly. She didn’t say a few words, which just made people feel that dealing with her was not great. Comfortable.
"Miss, the kitchen said that there are several family members in Kyoto today. The ingredients are not as easy to buy as before. The abalone and golden swiftlet's nest porridge prepared for you can only buy the golden silk fruit wood that was accumulated in the previous week. Is it still preparation."
Xiaoqing walked in lightly, and asked while picking up the thorns of the vinegar fish for Ming Jiuge.
Before Ming Jiuge could say anything, he heard Li Qingqing say: "Niece, it's not my aunt who talks too much. I think the ladies in the boudoir can't be raised so well. If the husband's family came to see me, The Iceman talks about your problem too much, and it will be troublesome to talk about marriage in the future."
