Mrs. Tai got off the soft sedan chair with the support of Qi's mother and turned to look at Lin Xi. Lin Xi motioned for Yuanyuan to let go of his hand, then walked a few steps quickly, held Mrs. Tai's hand, and looked up at Mrs. Tai and smiled slightly.

Mrs. Tai affectionately tightened the fox fur fur for him, patted his hand again, and then walked towards Chongjin Hall.

The two grandparents are very close.

"Mother. ”

"Grandmother. ”

"Old lady. ”

Yongning Hou took the whole family to salute Mrs. Tai, although Lin Xi supported Mrs. Tai, she also turned sideways slightly, and did not dare to accept it.

Mrs. Tai was even more kind to Lin Xi, and pointed to Yongning Hou and Liu, and said, "This is your eldest uncle and aunt." ”

Lin Xi took a step forward and saluted to the Yongning Hou and his wife, "Uncle An, Uncle An." ”

Yongning Hou Twisted his beard and smiled, "Okay." ”

Liu's face was even more smiling, and he held Lin Xi's hand and said with a smile: "Good boy, it's been hard all the way, it's cold, look at this little haggard face, your eldest cousin didn't take care of you, but he was wronged, I will talk about him as soon as he comes back." ”

"Auntie, don't say that, thanks to the eldest cousin's care all the way, Xi'er can get to the Hou Mansion safely," Lin Xi resisted the urge to withdraw his hand, lowered his head and replied shyly.

"The nephew is really sensible, look at what the sister-in-law likes, I'm afraid that even the eldest nephew will be compared, but it's cold outside, what do you have to say in the house, otherwise the old lady and nephew will not be beautiful in the cold." A female voice laughed loudly, her voice was very crisp and a little sharp, Lin Xi looked at Liu's expression and sank for a moment, thinking that it was the fourth aunt.

Mrs. Tai had a smile on her face and said nonchalantly: "The old woman is not cold, but your nephew is a medicine jar who is afraid of the cold, come in." ”

Mrs. Tai spoke, and everyone gathered around her to enter the Chongjin Hall.

Lin Xi was helplessly grabbed by Liu's hand and walked into the house together, and on the way, he heard Liu's voice lower and said to Lin Xi: "Good boy, my aunt already knows, thanks to your Rong'er, I can survive, and your kind aunt will not forget." ”

No wonder he was so enthusiastic, Lin Xi sighed in his heart, but he could only smile on his face, but if he could be useful to the Yongning Hou Mansion, he would not be sad in the future.

The brazier has been added to the main room, it is warm, everyone is seated, one by one the little maids in and out of the tea with low eyebrows, and then quickly retreated, leaving only a few mothers and big maids to serve inside, but also watching, nose, nose and heart motionless.

Lin Xi only needed a general look to know that the Hou Mansion had strict rules.

Mrs. Tai sat on the high seat, and Lin Xi stood beside her. The Great Xia Dynasty respects the right, on her right hand is the Yongning Marquis and his wife, and on the left is the fourth uncle Xiao Yunxuan and the fourth aunt Shan.

"Xi'er, come, let's recognize it again. ”

After Mrs. Tai finished speaking, a girl put a round pu in front of Yongning Hou, Lin Xi knelt on the round pu and bowed to Yongning Hou.

"Get up. "Yongning Hou bowed his head, and there was a maid behind him to give a meeting gift, but it was a set of four treasures of the study, which was decent.

"Uncle Xie. After Lin Xi took it, he handed it over to Yuanyuan.

After that, Mrs. Hou Liu, after Lin Xi knelt down, Liu sent a small jade toad, but the color was green all over, and the carving was also lifelike, which showed that it was worth a lot, "If the nephew likes it, wear it." ”

"Aunt Xie. ”

The second is the fourth uncle Xiao Yunxuan.

Xiao Yunxuan is three years younger than Lin Xi's mother Xiao Yunfei, and has followed her sister since she was a child. When Xiao Yunfei died, Xiao Yunxuan was still sad for a long time, and his brother-in-law was unjustly killed and failed to receive his nephew.

"Xi'er, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground. The meeting gift sent by the maid behind him directly reflected his guilt, but it was the title deed of a hot spring village in Xiaotangshan.

Lin Xi suddenly felt so hot, he hesitated and turned his head to look at Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai glanced at her youngest son with disgust, and she didn't need to feel sorry for her nephew, it was too eye-catching, and there was a daughter-in-law sitting next to her.

"Nephew, take it. But he didn't want the Shan clan to urge directly, "This is what your fourth uncle prepared for you earlier, just waiting for you to enter Beijing, but I can't wait for the left and the right to wait, so I have been delayed, but now it is finally sent out, and he can be regarded as letting go of a heart." It's just that this hot spring village is not big, and the nephew should not be too small. ”

As soon as Shan said this, Lin Xi found that his fourth uncle's eyes were extremely gentle when he looked at his wife, "That's what Mrs. said." ”

Lin Xi had no choice but to bow again.

Shan covered his mouth and smiled, "Okay, it's finally the turn of the concubine, I've been covering it for so long, I want to send it out." ”

After Lin Xi knelt down and bowed, the maid behind Shan gave a scroll of calligraphy and paintings.

"The concubine is a rough person, and the nephew is a scholar, and he doesn't know what to send, and he turned over the dowry list, and finally found a pair of "Fengyue Flowers and Birds" by Yuan Chenzi, a calligrapher of the previous dynasty, must always be able to enter the nephew's eyes, don't dislike it. ”

Lin Xi was about to cry, his father didn't know how long he had been talking about this painting, but unfortunately all the ones he got were imitations, and the real thing was priceless.

This couple is really rich, and the courtesy of Yongninghou and his wife is not light, and now this comparison is not conspicuous.

Yongning Hou is okay, his heart is generous, Mrs. Hou's eyes are not very beautiful, but it is just because of Mrs. Tai, it is not good to have a seizure.

As soon as Lin Xi came, he experienced the rivalry between the concubines of the Hou Mansion.

The old Yongning Marquis had a total of four sons and three daughters, and Mrs. Tai gave birth to the eldest son, the fourth son and the third daughter. The second son and the third son, the eldest daughter and the second daughter are all concubines, and the second son died early, and the third son now takes his wife and children to Yunzhou County to serve as the county master, the eldest daughter and the second daughter have also been married, and rarely return to their parents' home.

Therefore, the Yongning Marquis Mansion is now all in the same lineage, and Mrs. Tai's status is stable.

After bowing to the two uncles and aunts, they talked for a while, and the rest were cousins of the same generation, and they only had to greet them.

Xiao Yuheng, the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongning, Lin Xi had already seen him, and he greeted Lin Xi with each other, and said: "Your sister-in-law is unable to move, so she didn't come over, please forgive me, cousin." ”

"What did the eldest cousin say, the sister-in-law is heavy, and the younger brother should go to visit, if the eldest cousin doesn't mind, wait for the cousin to be born, and let the younger brother hold him for a while. ”

Xiao Yuheng immediately smiled, "I borrowed my cousin's auspicious words." ”

Saying that, the brothers exchanged greeting gifts.

"Your sister-in-law can't come, but the ceremony is specially prepared, although it is not as good as the fourth aunt's flower and bird picture, but this former dynasty pen wash can also be used, don't dislike it. ”

"Sister-in-law is polite. ”

Xiao Yuqi, the son of the Marquis of Yongning, is from the concubine Mei family, sixteen this year, donated his name to study in the Guozijian, and it seems that he is also a Yushu Linfeng, graceful and suave, but compared with Xiao Yuheng around him, his demeanor is still a little worse.

"Second cousin is good. ”

"Hello cousin. ”

When they met for the first time, Lin Xi and this second cousin just met and exchanged gifts.

Mrs. Yin is still there, and the Yongning Marquis Mansion has not been separated, and the third young master is Xiao Yuwu, who followed his father to Yunzhou, who is nine years old this year. And the fourth young master is Xiao Yunxuan's eldest son Xiao Yusheng, who is seven years old this year.

Fourth Young Master Xiao was raised white and chubby, and he was cute and cute, even if Lin Xi didn't like children very much, he thought it was cute.

Cousins are cousins after cousins.

The eldest lady Xiao Jinping is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, married to Zhao Jingyi, the prince of Rui, and passed away not long ago, leaving his son Zhao Yuanrong.

The second lady is Xiao Jinlan, the second daughter of the Mei family, who is one year younger than Lin Xi and is fourteen this year, and she is still in the boudoir.

Lin Xi didn't dare to take a closer look, and when he saw the ceremony, he came to the next third lady, Xiao Jinxin, who was the third daughter of the Liu family, the sister-in-law of Prince Rui and Princess Rui, and she was also at the age of discussing relatives at thirteen this year.

Lin Xi just greeted his cousin and called out.

The fourth lady Xiao Jinxiu also followed her father to take up her absence, the fifth miss is the third daughter of the Marquis of Yongning, and she is from the concubine Luo, who is five years old this year, Lin Xi took two more looks, but unfortunately the little radish head was afraid of life, and after calling her cousin, she shyly returned to the nurse.

Miss Six is only two years old and is from the fourth aunt Shan, and now she is not very stable, so she has a nurse to take the ceremony.

By the time Lin Xi saw them one by one, most of the day had passed, but it was dinner time.

"And your third master, I am not free today, so Heng'er will lead me to meet tomorrow. Mrs. Tai explained.

Xiao Yuheng responded: "Yes." "He likes Lin Xi's cousin very much.

The lady opened a table for dinner, and the male guests also had a table, and Mrs. Tai saw that her cousins got along well through the screen, and her heart was at peace, so she used more for dinner.

caused everyone to say that Lin Xi was good, and the fourth aunt laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was hot.

When Mrs. Tai showed fatigue, she dispersed.

"Sleep more tomorrow, nourish your spirits, and don't have to get up early to say hello to your wife. Mrs. Tai held Lin Xi's hand and explained.

Lin Xi smiled and nodded, "Grandmother loves me." ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "Don't I hurt you, rest early, what's uncomfortable, even if you mention it to your grandmother, don't hide it, take you to Beijing, it's for you to recuperate, don't wronged yourself." ”

Lanyue Xuan

Although the Liu family had already let people clean it up, the old lady still sent Ren's mother over to watch and assist Zhou's mother in putting Lin Xi's belongings in place.

The maid turned on the light and led Lin Xi to Lanyue Xuan, and behind her, Mother Qi was sent all the way to the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw Mother Ren, the latter nodded at him, and said with a smile: "Young Master Cousin, rest early, if there is anything to call the slave maid." ”

Lin Xi thanked him: "There are Lao Qi's mother and Ren's mother." ”

Yuan Yuan behind him immediately stepped forward and stuffed two delicate purses into the hands of the two mothers.

"Thanks to the two mothers these days, Xi doesn't know how to thank her, don't mind a little heart. ”

Although the purse did not look carefully, but the stitches were fine, and they also had weight in their hands, although it was cold, the smiles on the faces of the two mothers were even brighter.

"Thank you, young master, go in quickly, if you have something, let the girl in the yard find a slave. ”

When Lin Xi entered the courtyard, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that today was even more tired than yesterday.

In fact, there are not many people in the Yongning Hou Mansion now, but it is just two rooms, if it is other huge families, it may not be able to see it all day, and it is estimated that he will fall halfway with his broken body.

Mother Zhou hurriedly took the reunion sisters to serve Lin Xi to change clothes and wash, and when she saw Lin Xi's tired expression, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "There are many people in the Hou Mansion, and the rules are also big, so the young master is wronged." ”

The quilt had already been warmed, and Lin Xi felt completely relaxed when he got into the quilt, but his body stiffened for a day, and now all kinds of complications have risen, "Tuan Tuan rubbed my knees and legs, it hurts, Mother Zhou, my head is also dizzy." ”

Tuan Tuan hurriedly pinched his fragile young master's knees, and Zhou's mother also put down the work at hand, sat at the head of the bed, and rubbed Lin Xi's temples.

At this time, Yuanyuan came in, Lin Xi closed her eyes and just smelled the smell and knew what was on her hand.

"Young master, you have to drink a bowl of this medicine before going to bed, and you can't break it. ”

Lin Xi closed her eyes and didn't move, Zhou's mother took the bowl and pushed Lin Xi, "Young master, it's not okay to pretend to be asleep, get up quickly, just drink it in one gulp." ”

It's better to live than to die!

Lin Xi sighed in his heart, and made a note to Zhao Jingyi fiercely, thanks to him, this kind of hard life will have to be passed for several days. I thought that the next time I saw the man, I would get him a bowl to taste.

After drinking the medicine, he rinsed his mouth, and before the lights went out, Lin Xi asked, "When does the old lady get up?"

"At the end of the day, the young master is ......"

"Although the old lady doesn't need me to say hello, can I really sleep in peace?" But this is too early, he gets up at half past five, and he usually sleeps comfortably at this time. Lin Xi sighed in his heart, sure enough, he was still in charge of his own house.

"Yes, young master. ”

Lin Xi sighed and fell asleep.
