Wen Su and Nangong Honglie, under the leadership of the servant who came out to report earlier, walked through the layers of flowers and plants, along the path under the shade of rows of willows, walked across the exquisitely carved stone arch bridge, and in front of them was a high pavilion of carved beams and paintings, and the servant led them into a tall house in the middle, and the servant stopped and respectfully bent down to let Wen Su and the two enter the door.

"Childe, please come in, the old lady is already waiting inside. With that, the servant left, leaving only the two who were still standing outside the hall door.

Wen Xu looked at Nangong Honglie and took the lead in stepping into the hall. The hall is already full of people, the main seat of the hall sits a middle-aged couple, although the man is wearing a dark blue robe, but the clothing is thin and soft and close-fitting, at a glance you know that it is worth a lot, the woman sitting next to the man, although she has some age, but demure and gentle, still with charm, a dark green embroidered dress, more set off its nobility, look closely at its appearance, and the queen Yan Jing is a little similar.

The servants stood in the left and right corners of the hall, and only the maids beside their masters stood beside their masters.

"My niece Wen Su visited her aunt and uncle, and her aunt and uncle were in good health. Wen Xu knelt lightly on the ground and bowed to the middle-aged couple on the throne.

"Su'er, you're Su'er! You're a big girl, get up, don't kneel. Yan Mei hurriedly got up and helped up the niece who had never met before kneeling in front of him, and had mixed feelings in his heart, and carefully looked at his face, although the child was dressed in men's clothes, he was indeed very similar to his sister, and he became more and more affectionate.

"Come, Su'er. Yan Mei took Wen Xu's hand, walked in front of Min Yan, and said to Wen Xu: "Xu'er, this is your cousin, named Min Yan, you will often play together in the future, you will not be lonely, you will make this your home, and your aunt and uncle are your parents." Your aunt also knows about your father and mother, poor child, why did my sister leave you alone in this world and leave us relatives so ruthlessly?

Yan Mei said that she hugged Wen Su and cried when she was sad, she was so choked that she couldn't speak, so she had to wipe her tears, Wen Su heard her aunt mention her dead parents, and she was also in tears and couldn't speak.

"Mother, Sister Su'er is tired of traveling, and finally came to the house, you will make my sister sad, or let your daughter take her sister to the wing room to rest, so many people are watching, my mother can't lose her manners. Xi Minyan persuaded her mother empathetically, while holding Wen Su's hand, she liked this sister at first sight.

"Yes, yes, it's still Yan'er who is right, seeing that my aunt only cares about talking to you about these things that make you sad, Su'er, you go in with your Yan'er sister first, change your clothes, rest and rest, and your aunt will come to see you later." Yan Mei patted Wen Su's hand and said with a loving face.

"Then aunt and uncle, Su'er will go down first. Wen Su saw that her uncle and aunt nodded in agreement, so she followed Min Yan to the back room.

"General Nangong escorted Su'er all the way from the north to Nancy, it's hard work, I'll ask someone to take you down to rest. Yan Mei said to Nangong Honglie, who was standing on the side and had never spoken.

"Thank you, Madame, Madame doesn't have to be polite, it is my duty to send the princess to Madame safely, and the princess will have to worry more about Madame Lao in the future. Nangong Honglie hugged his fists slightly with Xi Ping and Yan Mei, and went down with the servants.

Along the pond is planted with willow trees, wicker bends, like a beauty shining on the water, a breeze passes, the willow waist is a paragraph.

Earlier, your father sent a letter saying that you and your aunt were going to come to live permanently, and your mother was ready for you, but I didn't expect your aunt to stop mentioning these sad things, Su'er, I will be your sister in the future, if there is anything, you just have to tell your sister. ”

You can also enjoy the scenery outside the window, which is very nice, especially in the summer when the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, which is very beautiful. Min Yan walked to the window as he spoke, and when he opened the window, the scenery on the pond was immediately in full view, and everything in front of him made Wen Su's heart stir.

"Sister Min Yan, Su'er is really flattered, how can Su'er be so loved by you. ”

You don't know how lonely I am since my brother's family moved to their own mansion, and I happen to have a younger sister to accompany me, so I naturally want to be good to her. After speaking, he winked mischievously at Wen Xu, with a smile on his beautiful face.

"Su'er, your men's clothes are nondescript, hurry up and take a look at the new clothes that my mother has prepared for you, you don't know that my mother and I have chosen for a long time, and I don't know what you look like, so I cut a few pieces for you according to my figure, you see if it fits, and then take you out to pick a few things you like." Min Yan looked up and down at Wen Xu's clothes, turned around and walked to the closet, and took out a stack of newly cut women's clothes of various colors.

"Su'er, which one do you want to wear, choose and put it on for your sister to see. Wen Xu had no choice but to choose a set of light blue embroidered pink lotus flowers in a stack of clothes, a spring shirt with a plain shawl and a plain shawl to change into a men's dress behind the screen, and when she walked out of the screen, the sound of Min Yan was immediately heard.

"Our family is still a big beauty! It's just that the clothes are a little bigger, wait for Ming'er's sister to accompany you to the shop to cut a few pieces that fit. After Min Yan finished speaking, he took Wen Xu's hand and walked to the dresser.

"Come, sit here, my sister will comb your hair, my craftsmanship is even full of praise from my mother, you sit down obediently, and leave the rest to me." Min Yan pressed Wen Su on the stool and sat down and moved her hands, only to see her skillfully pull up her hair, comb it back and forth, and comb it after a while.

"Su'er, do you like the Feixian bun that your sister combed for you?" Min Yan asked as she looked at Wen Su in the bronze mirror.

"I like it, my sister's craftsmanship is so good. Wen Xu replied with a smile, like a green silk waterfall scattered behind his head.

"Xu'er, there are all kinds of jewelry in this jewelry box, which one do you like, my sister will bring it to you. Min Yan opened a wooden box engraved with peach blossoms on the dresser and asked Wen Yan, who picked up a white hosta with a pendant from the box and handed it to Min Yan. "Sister, that's it!"

Min Yan quickly inserted the hairpin into Wen Fu's bun. "Come, Su'er, stand up and let my sister see. Min Yan said as he helped Wen Su to stand up.

"Beauty, it's a big beauty. Min Yan's admiration has never blurted out.

"My sister is a beauty herself, how can Su'er compare to my sister, my sister won't make fun of Su'er. This shirt, a simple dress, brings out the elegance and gentleness of Wen Fu more and more, although it does not have the beauty of Min Yan, but it has an extraordinary temperament. Min Yan saw that Wen Xu said this, and did not argue, the two talked about other things, and before they knew it, it was dark, and the two had dinner, so they had to separate and go back to their rooms to sleep.
