Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and then a little maid came in, first to Ge Fo He said a few words, Ge Fu He asked her to step aside and wait, and then walked to the old lady and said, "Third aunt, the court table is ready." [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] My father-in-law and uncle haven't come back today. You see?"

"Then set the table on my side, and let her aunts and uncles bring them over to meet them one by one when they have time." The old lady thought for a moment and said.

"Okay. Ge Fo He beckoned to the maid just now and ordered him to go down.

After a while, the maid came up again, and Ge Fohe said to the old lady, "Ancestor, you are ready." ”

"Then let's go. The old lady took Ying Qi's hand and walked forward.

Walking through the hall and coming to the backyard, the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks have been neatly placed.

"Hello third uncle!" Cao was very kind, and handed a red gold peony bracelet to Ying Qi as a greeting gift.

After meeting the third aunt, the old lady sat on the front, and after the third aunt Cao sat down with her left hand, Ge Fuhe asked Yingqi to sit first on her right hand.

"Ancestor, this is not to be done. Ying Qi hurriedly excused herself.

"Good boy, you are a guest, and you are the duke and the lady, what should you not do. The old lady smiled, "Take your seats!"

So Wu Ya Bao Bai sat second on the left hand, Wu Ya Jieyu sat second on the right hand, and Wu Ya Chase sat third on the left hand. Gverlot and Newren were obsessed with the old lady. Next to each of them was a maid in a blue silk dress. Xueyun was beckoned by Lixia to retreat outside the courtyard and wait.

"Poor snowclouds. Ying Qi sighed secretly.

Everyone had eaten quietly, and a little maid came to rinse their mouths with a small water cup and a gargle, and sure enough, just like in the book, the water for gargling had a fresh fragrance. He handed him a towel and wiped his hands before serving tea.

took a sip, Ying Qi had no research on this, and children were actually not very suitable for drinking tea, so they didn't drink much.

"You all go and get busy, just let the children talk to me for a few words. The old lady spoke, and the third aunt, Cao, Gefford, and Nulun, withdrew, and the children were left to change to the collapsed table.

The order brought candy and snacks, and everyone chatted.

"Girl Qi, what do you do at Peony's house on weekdays?" the old lady asked idly.

"Didn't do anything. It is to read books, write and write, and learn embroidery. Ying Qi replied.

"What kind of books does that sister read?" asked Wu Ya Baobai.

"I only read the "Female Commandments", and I don't know anything else. Ying Qi replied, and the old lady couldn't help but nod when she heard this.

"What do my sisters read on weekdays?" "Where do they read, it's just that they can read and write." The old lady said.

"Ancestor, I can read the whole text of the "Three Character Classic". Uyachase said proudly.

"Yes, yes, my three girls are the best. Everyone laughed.

"Old lady, the young masters have come to say goodbye. Yingchun walked over.

"Call them all in and meet their cousin. The old lady was very happy, and said to Yingqi, "You meet the brothers at home." I just don't have to pay attention to them usually. Your eldest cousin is leading the job outside, your second cousin is helping the family, and the third and fourth cousins are still in school. ”

As he spoke, four men came in one after another.

"Ancestor please!" everyone said in unison.

Ying Qi raised her eyes and saw that the four men were all wearing blue silk and bright gold silk robes, in order of the eldest cousin Wuya Modri, the second cousin Wuya Dachun, the third cousin Wuya Dahasu, and the fourth cousin Wuyahe.

"I've come to see your cousin. Seeing the four grandchildren, the old lady smiled.

"I've seen the eldest cousin, I've seen the second cousin, I've seen the third cousin, I've seen the fourth cousin!"

"Hello Cousin Qi!" the four men also hurriedly returned the salute.

"Ancestor, look, I found a jade parrot today. "The third young master, Uyada Hasselblad, was carrying a delicate bird cage in his hand.

There is a parrot with an emerald green body inside, and even the crown on the top of the head is green, so green that it is very pure, no wonder it is called jade.

Uyada Hasselblad tapped the birdcage with his fingers, and only to hear the parrot call crisply: "Ancestor auspicious, ancestor auspicious!"

When everyone heard this, they were all amazed and admired.

"Hehe, you monkey, where are you fiddling. The old lady was also very pleased.

"Hehe, I ran into it by chance. Uyada Hasselblad smiled slightly.

"Sister Qi, come. Look at the cuteness, isn't it?" The old lady beckoned Ying Qi to her side, pointed to the parrot brother and asked Ying Qi.

"Lovely and smart. Ying Qi replied with a smile.

"Let your fourth brother send you, okay?" said the old lady with a smile.

"No, Ancestor. A gentleman does not take the favor of others. And I'm not very good at taking care of such a precious parrot. I'm so stupid. She said softly that she was stupid, and the old lady couldn't help laughing.

"You baby, how can you say that you are stupid. Let your cousin arrange it. Just hang it on the verandah outside the peach blossom cupboard, and you can usually tease and let your cousin raise it himself. Of course, the latter is a joke, but it is just to arrange for slaves and maids to raise birds.

"Ancestor, I should be a little parrot. Rolling his eyes, Uyada Hasselblad said again: "Okay, okay, for the sake of my cousin being so delicate and cute, I'll be wronged." ”

"You are still wronged, you monkey, you have been rummaged over the front and back of the courtyard wall one day. The crowd laughed even more.

"Cousin, do you like crickets? ”

"Third brother, my cousin should like fireflies and the like. How can a girl like your crickets? Fourth Young Master Wu Yahe interjected.

"It's all good, I think I'll like it. Ying Qi replied with a smile.

After a few more chats, everyone took their leave and returned to their respective courtyards.

Li Xia came to lead Ying Qi and Xue Yun back to the peach blossom cupboard.

Passing through the small carved red verandah, the peach blossom cabinet itself is a small main house layout, with an ear room on each side. It was all empty before, and occasionally a favored grandchild came over for a lunch break or something.

Because of the old lady's instructions, it was quickly cleaned up, and the brand-new hyperico pattern futon was laid, and the green and green bamboo smoke cage screen window was hung.

At the same time, it is also equipped with four little maids and four rough mothers-in-law. When they returned, they were already waiting outside.

"Shall I go talk to them?" asked Ying Qi as Xue Yun.

"Miss, it's up to you to decide. It's okay if you want to talk to them, because it's just your foreign house, so it's okay if you don't talk to them. I had already greeted them with Lixia when I was dining before. Xueyun said.

"Forget it. I'm tired these days, so let's wash and sleep. Ying Qi thought about it and just gave up. "By the way, are you still sleeping outside me?"

"Of course, miss. Do you want to meet Lixia?" Xue Yun nodded and asked.

"Tell her in. Ying Qi said.

Xueyun walked out and called Lixia in.

"I've seen Miss Cousin. Lixia came in and saluted respectfully.

"Sister Lixia, don't be polite. I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future. Ying Qi smiled and motioned for Xue Yun to hand her a small purse containing two small silver ingots.

"Thank you, Miss Table. These are all things that slaves and maids should do. Lixia smiled and took it, neither arrogant nor humble. "Me and Xueyun, how do you think we're keeping vigil for you?"

"No need. Snow clouds have always kept vigil for me. Go to the east room and rest. Ying Qi said.

"This ......" Lixia hesitated.

"It's okay, you just have to worry about things during the day. Xueyun doesn't know much about this. Ying Qi said.

"Yes, Sister Lixia, I'm used to keeping vigil for Miss. On the contrary, I still need you to teach me more about the affairs in the courtyard. Xueyun smiled.

Lixia thought about it and agreed.

"Miss Cousin, I'll go and get you washed. Seeing Yingqi nodded, Lixia went down. Xueyun went to make the bed on his own. Ying Qi has a separate cot outside the bed for the maids to keep vigil.
