Chapter 34: Cousin Beauty

Han Runiang heard that He Qingsong thought about it so carefully, although he said it lightly, but asking Mrs. Xu to recognize her as a distant niece was actually a favor owed to the Xu family. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe favor of the second son of the He family is worth more than any gold. Being able to do this for herself, she was extremely moved in her heart, a pair of Rouyi couldn't help but hold his hand, the corners of her eyes flashed with tears, and said: "It is really the greatest blessing in this life for the slave family to meet the son." ”

He Qingsong's heart fluttered, and he took her into his arms, with the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, and suddenly he was full of pride, and said: "Ru Niang, please rest assured, with me one day, there will be a good life for you." ”

The two returned to Xu's house with a meal, Han Runiang returned to Shuyunju, and He Qingsong asked to see Mrs. Xu and told him about it.

Old Madam Xu already took pity on Han Runiang, and thought that she was a distant niece, who could not only help her, but also make the second son of He owe a favor, why not? I remember that the Tu family had a side branch, and they were out of business, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for them to recognize Ru Niang? Although Ru Niang turned out to be a daughter in Beijing, fortunately, there are not many people who know her in the deep boudoir, and the He family is far away in HN Songzhou, as a good concubine, there are few opportunities to go out, and the flaws are small. ”

He Qingsong was overjoyed when he heard this, this method is of course more appropriate than the identity of a distant niece, and it can withstand scrutiny. At that moment, Shi Li said: "Thank you for the old lady's help." ”

Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said, "The second son doesn't need to be polite, Ru Niang, this child, is very fond of the old body." When I got to Beijing, I went to arrange this. ”

The two also discussed some details of going to Beijing, and the method of handing over the silver ticket after arriving in Beijing. He Qingsong handed over Han Runiang's food and clothing to Mrs. Xu, who insisted on accepting it and said, "Although my Xu family has declined, there is no shortage of food and clothing for a little girl." Seeing Old Man Xu say this, He Qingsong had no choice but to give up.

Han Runiang received the news from He Qingsong, and she was filled with joy and sorrow. The sad thing is that once he recognizes someone else as his father, the father who loves him can only live in his own heart, and his mother was so ruthless back then, don't mention it. The good news is that after this operation, you will regain a new identity and start a new life. He Qingsong sent a box of head and face jewelry, and a few hundred taels of silver tickets to her side.

The little girl who served Han Runiang painted a fan, which He Qingsong bought on the road after receiving Ru Niang, and she had not taught the rules, and her eyes were very clever. Where did she see so many good things, she couldn't help but pick up a delicately made malachite gilt step and shake it, and said enviously: "Miss, Second Prince He is really good to you." ”

These jewelry, as the daughter of the official family, Han Runiang is used to it, and she doesn't care about it. When she saw the fan to get it, she didn't like it, but she was soft and weak, so she just let the fan put the fan back into the box.

In the evening, when Xu Wanzhen went to greet Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu told her about it. Xu Wanzhen said happily: "Then don't I have an extra beautiful cousin?"

Old Madam Xu smiled when she heard this: "Look at what you kid said." To do this well, we still need to operate carefully after we arrive in Beijing. Now that you have done it, you must strive for perfection. ”

Xu Wanzhen smiled slyly and said, "You want to make the second son of He's personal debt even greater." The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the masters of the Xu family, Han Runiang, and He Qingsong all gathered in Mrs. Xu's warm pavilion, ready to eat glutinous rice balls together. In addition to the glutinous rice balls, Mrs. Xu also ordered the noodles to be reconciled, prepared dumpling fillings, fish filling, lettuce beef filling, etc., and brought the board to the table, and everyone made dumplings by themselves.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said to everyone: "It's hard to eat dumplings in Jiangnan, but when you wait in Beijing, it's hard to eat these fillings." ”

He Qingsong said kindly: "What the old lady said is that the dumplings we make at home are all stuffed with leeks and celery, where is the fish so tender and the lettuce so smooth." He waved his hand again and said, "Since there is such a delicacy, my Hejia restaurant is not good-looking, and the old lady will definitely be able to eat it in the capital." ”

In the north, regardless of whether rich or poor, they will make dumplings by themselves in the New Year, trying to have a good intention, of course, in the big families the owners make dumplings is a meaning. He Qingsong's dumplings are filled with a lot of fillings, and the bags are upright and generous, and they sit in a white and fat line at the top left of the board; Han Runiang's dumplings are small and exquisite, and there are delicate wavy folds on the side of the dumplings, which are tightly below He Qingsong's dumplings; Mrs. Xu took out a few small coins and wrapped them in the dumplings, which were decent, of moderate size, and placed them in the middle of the board; Xu Wanzhen had never wrapped dumplings in her previous life, but fortunately, she was ingenious, and she was also good after a while, and the wrapping was crooked at the beginning, and the rules and regulations of the bread were on the right side of the board; as for Xu Wenyu, where was making dumplings, she was kneading the dough to play, the dumplings were not wrapped in a few, and an unformed rabbit was pinched, and the flour was rubbed all over the face, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

The dumplings were steaming hot, and after Mrs. Xu picked up the chopsticks, everyone ate happily.

The child loves sweets, and the nurse is afraid that he will eat too much glutinous rice and will not be able to restrain it, so Xu Wenyu pouted and asked Mrs. Xu to be coquettish. Old Madam Xu pinched his chubby face and pointed to the food in the bowl: "Look, what is this?"

Xu Wenyu looked at it, and it turned out that the little rabbit he pinched was also cooked, and his eyes lit up immediately. Pouting his greasy little mouth, he kissed Mrs. Xu with a "chirp", and ate so happily.

Han Runiang said "oops", Cherry Tan spit out a piece of money in her mouth, and Xu Wanzhen said: "Congratulations to Sister Ru Niang, it is a blessing to eat money." ”

Mrs. Xu said: "Ru Niang is a blessed child. ”

Such a lively situation made Han Runiang feel the warmth of family, and she didn't want to say more words of thanks, just keep it in her heart.

When supper was over, the crowd dispersed. He Qingsong took Han Runiang to see the lively lantern festival in Suzhou City, the nurse took Xu Wenyu down to get ready to sleep, and Xu Wanzhen accompanied Mrs. Xu to take a walk in the garden to eat.

Mrs. Xu was a little emotional, the Lantern Festival was supposed to be a day of reunion, but this year, the Xu family was separated. I don't know if we will be able to get together during the Lantern Festival next year? The case of the eldest son, Xu Changzong, is like a big stone, weighing heavily on her heart. As the backbone of the Xu family at this moment, she can't show any weakness on weekdays, and she must make a calm and relaxed posture, so that the Xu family will not be chaotic.

Xu Wanzhen helped her walk slowly, feeling that Mrs. Xu's mood was a little low, and changed the topic: "Granddaughter still doesn't know, how many cousins do you have in the capital? ”
