Eldest Sister, Why Haven’t You Married Yet

In the solemn little Buddha Hall, the sound of "Dong Dong" wooden fish sounded slowly and rhythmically. The white smoke in the Buddha Hall made people who entered this small room immediately smell thick and reassuring. Sandalwood fragrance.

The domestic servant who came to send the post stood outside the door. Through the pane, I only saw the back of the old lady kneeling straight on the futon.Unconsciously, she lightened her movements, fearing that a little movement would disturb the old lady. The interest of the Buddha.

The grandmother standing behind the old lady first found the domestic servant who stood outside and probed her brain, and then gestured to the little maid who was standing aside. Then she walked out of the temple quietly and led the servant away from the temple. At the corner of the twenty-step distance, he whispered: "You are dead, knowing that this is the time for the old lady to salute the Buddha. You are not in the front yard. What do you do when you run to the back yard?"

"Mammy, the little one ate the bear heart leopard and didn't dare to disturb the old lady's cleanliness, but just handed in a post and said that it was for the old lady." The servant smiled "hey" Two times, I paid a confession to Mother Liu. You should know that Mother Liu has been with the old lady for decades. Even the grown-ups of her family were also brought by Mother Liu. That is, the young master in the house also wanted to give her a little love when she saw her, not to mention that he was just a trot in the front yard?

Grandma Liu patted the kid's head angrily and said: "Are you kid confused? Knowing that the old lady is the last person to see foreigners, what other cat and dog posts are sent in?" That is the oldest and most honorable old lady in Luohe Prefecture. If anyone of any status can see it, then simply set up a stall outside for the fortune-telling!

The servant was not angry after being photographed for a while, but he smiled and made a condemnation with a smile: "Mammy, it's really not a kid's chaos. The kid has the courage to dare to disturb the cleanness of the old lady. It's the one who posted the post. He also handed this in and said that the old lady would know at a glance. "While saying, he took out a small ruby ​​fan pendant from his arms. The middle of the fan pendant was hollowed out, and a small" English "word was engraved.

Grandma Liu immediately grabbed the ruby ​​fan from the moment she saw it, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully. Although her face hadn't changed, her eyes were still somewhat puzzled. The word "English" was the old lady's boudoir. A word in the name, this ruby ​​fan pendant looked at the old lady's favorite fan pendant when she was not out of the cabinet, but did she remember that she gave it away later? Could it be that the man is back?

Thinking of this, Grandma Liu's eyes changed, taking the post in the hands of the house servant who had been making a smile: "Come on, let's go." He took the post and the token and turned into the Buddhist hall.

"What happened?" Although Mrs. Liu closed her eyes and was chanting Buddha, Grandma Liu went out and came back and did not conceal her.

Grandma Liu saw that the old lady was about to get up and hurriedly stuffed her hand to the little maid next to her. She stepped forward to help the person up, and then the two walked slowly to the window-side couch. Grandma Liu helped her sit down, and took the huaihua honey water from another little maid, before telling the story of the geniuses one by one: "The outside handed a post to come to you, and this one came with the post. . "

Seeing the ruby ​​fan falling in the post, which had remained unchanged for decades, the old lady's unperturbed eyes had a fission, and asked: "But she is back? It seems this old thing Did not die in the capital, but returned to Luohe Prefecture alive. "Although the old thing is a bite, the joy in Mrs. Liu's eyes can't be concealed from Mother Liu.

Grandma Liu, who handed the post in front of Mrs. Liu, was also very happy. The old lady grew older. Those who were around were old and gone. If the old man was back in Luohe Although it is a matter of right and wrong nowadays, but it is also a thought and concern, after all, it is a pity to be young when you are young!

Three days later, Luohe Prefecture soldiers Liu Liufu Fuzhong.

"Guest please, please." Liu's family servants bowed their hands frowningly, taking small steps to lead the way, walking round and round to the backyard of Liu Mansion, and only stopped in the courtyard with the sign "Fu Shou Tang" Come, at the gate of the courtyard, Grandma Liu, who got the order from the master, also waited again early in the morning.

Seeing that the house servant had brought someone over, he greeted him up and saluted: "I haven't seen you for years, have you been okay?" After the news of the Xiao family's accident spread to Luohe Prefecture, the old lady sat in the Buddhist hall all night Sleeping, now seeing the old friend is okay, and Grandma Liu also has red eyes: "The old lady coughed up in the morning, the old slave persuaded her to stay in and wait, if not, she would come out early to welcome him. . "

"I haven't seen you in years, and Yujia, you are a lot older." Who is the Song who is not the one who sent the post before? The two stood outside the Yuedong door and said a few words. Grandma Liu stepped forward to help the Songs go three steps and stopped to the Fushou Tang, leaving only a few Liu family servants looking at each other, and everyone was confused. Water is also puzzled.

The house servant who led the way still respected the grandmother who was dressed in clothes and was not a luxury in front of her. She did n’t recover from the shock of the old man who was dressed up and was not luxurious. He heard the visitor calling her mother ’s name. What's going on with a nostalgic smile? As I went out, I thought about whether I had neglected the words and deeds of the dignitaries when I was leading the way. I thought over and over again. Finally, I was convinced that there wasn't. In Liu Fu continued to mix.

Besides, in Fushoutang, an old lady wearing a dark purple Wanfu dark pattern dress and wearing a brocade and jade inlaid with a forehead sat on the couch with the help of the maid. He heard the movement outside and immediately put on his shoes again. Going down to the ground, the people who just came in from the outside also went indoors. The two old men who had been separated for decades separated by a curtain of beads, looked speechless.

Grandma Liu knew that at this time the old lady must have wanted to be able to talk to her old friend, so she glanced at the other servants standing in the house. The servants lightened their steps and came out, but only two of them were left for a moment.

"Forty years apart, I never thought I could meet here again." Song, who was standing outside the bead curtain, took the lead in opening his mouth and sighed slightly, his eyes slightly red: "Chen Ying, how have you been for all these years? "

Mrs. Liu, who was called "Chen Ying", also inexplicably blushed and said, "No matter how bad it used to be, now it's all fine. It's just how Sister Song has been in the past few years?" The two sat on the couch, left Speaking on the right, while remembering the lush years of the year, while feeling the time passed by, the years are not forgiving.

As for Xiao Linru, who accompanied the Songs to Liu's house today, he was taken to the side hall by her grandmother, and she was greeted with tea and snacks, leaving a little maid to wait outside the door for her to be sent. Under the corridor of the main hall, in order to prepare the old lady to wait at any time.

Xiao Linru gathered his clothes and sat down in the partial hall, without losing the style of everyone's boudoirs, showing good upbringing in his words and deeds, and not looking around at random, which made Liu's servants also curious, these two guests What is the origin? It doesn't look like the master of a wealthy family, but the young woman with a woman's hair is very dignified, which is really strange!

Besides, Song and Mrs. Liu closed the door and said about half an hour before they heard the wooden door of the main hall "squeak" open from the inside, and Mrs. Liu and Song walked out one after another. .

"You will be in trouble for this matter." The Songs nodded slightly towards Mrs. Liu, and then walked out of the Mansion with her granddaughter, who had walked to her side, followed her mother Liu.

Mrs. Liu stood in the yard and watched Song's departure before returning to the inner room with the help of the little maid. He lay on the couch and felt the little maid gently rubbing her shoulders and sighed: "Old , It's not useful. "Xiaomao also knew that the old lady wasn't talking to herself, and she wasn't talking, and she only carefully controlled her strength to massage the old lady.

Song's personal departure, the problem of the selection of the mountain leader was solved.

The location of the women's school is located in the east city of Luohe Prefecture. It is located in Jiazi Lane, not far from Fuxue. It covers an area of ​​about five acres. There are classrooms, dorms, canteens, tea rooms, courtyards and other facilities. The main subjects studied in women ’s studies are piano, chess, book, painting, poetry and song, and the elective subjects are dance, riding, female red, tea art, and flower art. Each subject has a full-time sir, Yu Shi and Zhao's four young men, Huang Sanye and Zhang Luo, had been around for several months before finally joining the famous gentlemen of Luohe Prefecture and Northern Xinjiang before the Dragon Boat Festival.

The opening day of the female school is scheduled for the fifth day of May.

Although it was opened on the day of Duanyang Festival, it had already started enrollment in early April and distributed invitations for the day of opening. All people with heads and faces in Luohe Prefecture have received invitations from Erya Women's School, but at first, almost everyone scoffed and felt that this was a mess. However, I did not know where the news came from. Mrs. Liu, the old soldier of the state soldiers and horses, served as the mountain chief!

What kind of character is Mrs. Liu? The only old lady in Luohe Prefecture who died with a third grade death. Thirty years ago, she pulled two children and grew up. One of them later became the highest official state soldier in Luohe Prefecture, and another son He was on duty at the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, and the only daughter married into the palace of the county and became a concubine! If the most honorable woman in Luohe Prefecture is really Mrs. Liu.

But Mrs. Liu has not attended any banquet activities since five or six years ago. I never thought that this little-known Erya women's school should have moved Mrs. Liu! Although I do n’t know if the news is true or false, those people knew that they would send their daughters to Erya Girls ’School until the three girls from Liu Bing and Ma Jiashu signed up. Luohe Prefecture Those who moved the wind could not count in an instant, but one hundred and twenty-seven people signed up in three days.

On the fifth day of May, Erya Women's School officially opened its doors. Early in the morning, all the girls who wore uniform style dresses and embroidered the four small characters of "Yerya Girls 'School" arrived at the Erya Girls' School in a carriage or sedan. One hundred and twenty-seven female students plus three sisters of Sujiayou silver jewelry and two young aunts of Liujiayouhe, a total of 132 people, have been divided into five after a thorough examination on April 27 This class is both the first day of school and the first day of class.

As for Mrs. Liu, the honorary mountain leader, he also came to Erya Women's School at the quarter hour before the auspicious time. Together with Song, Yu, Zhao and others accompanied him to visit the school.

After the visit, Mrs. Liu went to one of the classes where her granddaughter and her granddaughter were staying again, and she was a little tired. She was helped by Liu Ma ’s help to get into the sedan chair, and went to the female school lobby to visit The parents said a few words, then they said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and got on Liu's carriage to leave.

The parents of the students saw that Mrs. Liu actually appeared, and were a little shocked at first. They also saw that the people of Narya Academy were talking and laughing with Mrs. Liu. They were even more puzzled. Where is man sacred? Did n’t people just say that it ’s just an upstart from the country? Why are you so familiar with Mrs. Liu? Half of it is doubt, and half is to warn myself to have a good relationship with the owner behind Erya College.

The author has something to say: Say good to you, here!
