Chapter 1 First arrival in Xuncheng

Siqing and her cousin came to Xuncheng.

She stood in front of the gate of Meng's house, looking at the red plaque above her head, the four big characters of "Shide Liufang" were vigorous and powerful, and the dark red imperial seal in the center was shining.

The cousin wiped a handful of sweat with the towel on his shoulder and handed her the burden: "Sister, you can go in by yourself, I have to go." ”

She took the burden, nodded, and her cousin said a few words before running away.

Siqing felt a little lonely, raised her feet and stepped in, before she stepped into the threshold, she suddenly heard a shout, she immediately retreated, and as soon as she stood still, she saw Meng Huaian walking out with a red face, and kept scolding.

He was followed by five or six subordinates, but he only promised to persuade him to go back, Meng Huai'an was tired of listening, turned around and kicked the nearest little guy to him, turned around and continued walking.

Passing by Siqing's side, he glared at her: "What do you see?"

Siqing hurriedly lowered her head and looked at the burden in her hand, and said in a very low voice: "Second brother is good." ”

Meng Huai'an snorted coldly and ignored it.

The little guy who was kicked ignored the pain, chased after him and comforted him bitterly: "Young master, you come back......

In the chaos, a fierce reprimand suddenly sounded: "Let him go, don't stop him, don't come back if you have the ability!"

The voice was majestic, and the subordinates immediately trembled and stopped.

Meng Huai'an was not afraid of the voice, so he simply took off the vest covered by his shirt, put it behind his back and walked away without looking back.

Si Qing followed the scolding and saw Mrs. Meng standing inside the door, her vermilion brocade gown and the door seemed to be integrated, although she was not angry, her expression was already intimidating.

The old lady in the door stared at Meng Huai'an's back, and only when the person was far away did she look at Siqing, look up and down, and said, "Coming?"

She nodded.

"Then come in, and come into my yard first. With that, he turned around and walked inside.

Siqing slowly followed behind her, passed through the hanging flower gate from the front yard, bypassed the middle courtyard and the hall, and walked along the verandah to the main courtyard, and the west wing of the cabinet courtyard on the left was the old lady's residence.

Just as she was about to go in with her, an old woman hurriedly approached and whispered to her with an impatient look.

After hearing this, the old lady glanced back at Siqing, and Siqing immediately said, "I'll wait outside the door." ”

The old lady's eyes softened slightly, and she said, "You don't have to stand, sit in the outer hall for a while." ”

The two entered the inner hall together, and Siqing sat down in the outer hall, separated by a door, and the two did not shy away from talking.

First, the old mother's voice: "Madame asked me to ask you, how to deal with the second young master's beating of people, the hawker is too seriously injured and hospitalized, and the family is looking for us for money." ”

The old lady said: "Huai'an is bare-handed, why is he too seriously injured, if he gives money once, he will have more to give later, let them make trouble, don't pay attention." ”

The other party said yes a few times, and then said, "Madame also asked the second young master if he wanted to control it here?"

The old lady snorted: "Just a few words of reprimand, he lost his temper, can he manage it?"

"Hey, yes, after all, it's not born to the Meng family, so it's hard to ......."

An urgent and stern cough interrupted the old woman's unfinished words, and the old lady cleared her throat a few more times, and then the voices of the two suddenly became quieter.

Siqing was a little at a loss in the outer hall, wanted to stand up, pondered for a while, and sat back down, maintaining the previous posture.

Not long after, the door of the inner hall opened, she quickly stood up, saw the old woman come out first, looked at her vigilantly, and left in a hurry.

Then, Mrs. Meng slowly stepped out.

She instinctively lowered her head, surrounded by an excessive silence.

Old Madam Meng walked up to her and said calmly, "Did you hear it?"

She grabbed the placket of her robe, and then slowly loosened it, and after a moment of silence, she nodded to the old lady.

The other party stared at her for a moment with an inquiring gaze, and still said calmly: "Huai'an's father and mother are the former descendants of the Meng family.

Huai'an was still young when they weren't there, and the Meng family saw that he was pitiful and adopted him, he didn't know about it, so you don't have to say it. ”

She nodded.

Listening to the old lady again: "I wanted to tell you some etiquette, it seems that there is no need to say more, where do you want to live?"

"If my mother's old house is still empty, I'll live there. ”

Her mother is Meng Hongxian's second aunt, she died early, and she has no impression, but the mother and daughter are connected after all, not to mention, it should be the best place to go, otherwise, where else can you live?

The old lady shook her head: "Although it is empty, there are still He Sanniang and his wife living in the East Chamber, I am afraid that you will be angry, and the hood in the backyard is also clean, are you willing to live?"

She thought about it for a while, and said yes, and the old lady sent someone to take her over.

Although the cover room is partial, but the house is no different from the front, except for the desertion, the environment is not bad, she doesn't have many things, it is simple to clean up, the maid Xiu'e sent her some clothes, and after placing it, she chose a set of blue satin trimmed wide-sleeved shirts and moon-white rolling tooth skirts, while helping her change, while saying: "Fourth Miss, the old lady said that she would go to the main courtyard to eat together tonight." ”
