Chapter 21: Wake up early to greet your cousin and sister

Perhaps because he was tired, Lin Xi slept very soundly this night.

On the second day, Zhou's mother called many times but didn't see Lin Xi get up, so she had to cover Lin Xi's face with a hot cloth to let him wake up slowly, but he was sleepy-eyed and could continue to sleep anytime and anywhere.

"Young master, but I can't sleep anymore, Mrs. Tai is about to get up, you still have to go and say goodbye. Mother Zhou beckoned the two girls to help Lin Xi up, and changed her clothes while lifting the quilt, acting quickly, for fear that his young master would be frozen.

Lin Xi was pressed in front of the vanity mirror in a daze and combed his hair, Tuan Tuan took the green salt and asked him to rinse his teeth, until he was supported out of the house, and a cold wind blew and stirred up, and he sobered up.

Before dawn, Lan Yuexuan's little maid was already standing at the door with a lantern waiting for him. Lin Xi wrapped the white wolf fur and walked towards Chongjin Hall in the faint light.

Lin Xi didn't get up too early, and by the time he arrived at Chongjin Hall, the lights had already been lit.

When the maid of Chongjin Hall saw Lin Xi, she turned around and went in to report, and after a while, Mother Ren walked out under the leadership of the little maid, "Oh, my cousin, the old lady specially told you to rest for a while, why did you still get up." Now it's the coldest day, how can it be good to get cold? ”

Saying that, he helped Lin Xi and hurriedly helped him into Chongjin Hall.

"Mother Ren, grandmother is up?"

"I got up, and the old lady got up early when she was old. ”

Entering the outer door, a burst of heat rushed to his face, and Lin Xi's body suddenly relaxed, and he moved his fingers before he slowly became flexible.

"Mrs. Hou, the fourth master and the fourth lady have just arrived, today is the last day of the morning dynasty, and tomorrow the court will suspend classes. Seeing Lin Xi looking at the main house, Ren's mother reminded with a smile.

"Thank you for your mother. ”

Lin Xi had a bottom in his heart, so he walked in slowly.

Mrs. Tai had already heard that her grandson was coming, and when she saw Lin Xi, she immediately beckoned him over, and said angrily: "What the old woman explained yesterday was not done. ”

Touching Lin Xi's hand, he felt the coolness, and was immediately displeased, "Just toss yourself just a little better." ”

Mother Qi, who served beside her, sent a warm stove with great eyes.

Lin Xi just smiled, "Grandmother is considerate of Xi'er, Xi'er is happy, but Xi'er also misses her grandmother, she always wants to see you earlier, and I am dressed thickly, so I can't freeze." ”

Saying that, I would like to say hello to my two uncles and aunts.

"Look, it's really intimate, don't look at our old lady's unhappy face, there is honey in her heart, we are here, but it's an eyesore, let's leave early." ”

Shan's laughter is always the crispest and most penetrating, and Mrs. Tai likes her pungent and playful.

Mrs. Tai pointed at Shan and scolded with a smile: "This monkey is the most annoying." ”

"Isn't it annoying, how can our nephew be smart and well-behaved, ouch, the concubine doesn't dare to see the old lady anymore if she covers her face with a handkerchief. ”

As he spoke, he laughed at her husband, and Xiao Yunxuan also doted on this wife very much, holding Shan's family, and the expression on her face was also very gentle.

At this time, Liu said: "The hour is not early, on the last day of today, Hou Ye and the fourth uncle should go one step earlier, so as not to miss the early dynasty." ”

Although this is true, the atmosphere is just right, but it is a little untimely.

Lin Xi peeked at Mrs. Tai, only to see the old lady smile and say, "It's now, let's go quickly." ”

Yongning Hou and Liu said hello and withdrew.

"The concubine went out to serve the fourth master, and then came back to accompany the old lady. After the brother and sister-in-law left, Shan and Xiao Yunxuan also said hello and left.

"Xi'er hasn't had breakfast yet, so let's accompany my wife to use some. ”

Lin Xi naturally agreed.

At this time, a girl reported, "The old lady, the eldest young master, the second young master, the second young lady and the third young lady are here." ”

As soon as the girl's voice fell, the four young masters and young ladies came in.

Xiao Yuheng saw Lin Xi and looked surprised, "Cousin came early, and the foolish brother is about to say hello to his grandmother and then go to dig you up." ”

The corners of Lin Xi's mouth twitched, this guy, do you know if you expose people?

Mrs. Tai has always been kind to her grandchildren: "It's the right time to come, they are all good children, and they have breakfast with their grandmothers." ”

Only then did Lin Xi have the opportunity to take a closer look at his two cousins.

The young ladies of the Hou Mansion are naturally like flowers, but the second lady Xiao Jinlan is more beautiful in terms of appearance, although she is only fourteen years old, she is already quite gorgeous, wearing a lake blue placket jacket, a white floor-length skirt, slim and elegant, and she has a soft air when she laughs.

The third lady, Xiao Jinxin, is one year younger, and her face is a little round, but her demeanor is dignified, she is wearing a red jacket and skirt, and there is a pride between her eyebrows.

With just one glance, the concubine can be distinguished. Lin Xi has never seen Aunt Mei of Yongning Hou, but just looking at the appearance of the second lady, Aunt Mei must be a rare beauty. And the wrist is also scheming, otherwise the second young master would not stand next to the eldest young master in a dignified manner.

Eat without saying anything.

After breakfast, Lin Xi and his cousins sat in Chongjin Hall for a while before saying goodbye.

Xiao Yuheng wanted to take Lin Xi to the third master of the West Courtyard, and the other three went back to their own courtyard.

When they were separated, they heard the second lady suddenly call: "Cousin, I didn't talk to you well yesterday, my cousin was abrupt, I heard my mother say that thanks to my cousin's wonderful rejuvenation, the son of the world can turn the corner, cousin, thank you very much." ”

Immediately stopped in three directions, Xiao Yuheng frowned slightly, and looked at his sister-in-law. But Xiao Yuqi had surprise on his face, as if he only knew about it. Although the expression on Xiao Jinxin's face did not change, there was obviously a trace of ridicule in her eyes, she looked at her sister and said lukewarmly: "The second sister cares about Rong'er. ”

Xiao Jinlan had a soft smile on her face, "Big sister's only child, as a younger sister's natural concern, my cousin has this ability, I am also happy in my heart, and my mother is also very happy." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Jinxin to speak, he looked at Lin Xi again, and asked slowly, "Cousin, is Shizi's illness really cured?"

So Xiao Jinxin stopped talking, and even Xiao Yuheng looked at Lin Xi.

The five-year-old Prince Rui knows very well what the Yongning Marquis Mansion represents, if Zhao Yuanrong has an accident, the in-laws between the Yongning Marquis and the Rui Mansion will be completely broken, and as time goes by, Zhao Jingyi may not be angry with the Marquis Mansion.

And as long as Zhao Yuanrong is alive and the position of the son is eternal, then the Yongning Hou Mansion will always be the foreign family of the relatives, and Zhao Jingyi will take care of the Hou Mansion for his son, and he can even go one step closer.

Lin Xi didn't want to be involved in the twists and turns at all, he knew very well how many catties and taels his medical skills were, not to mention Prince Rui's son, he was an ordinary civilian child, if he wasn't helpless, he wouldn't have made a move.

So he just stood with his hands on his sleeves with a faint smile on his face, "The second cousin asked this, the foolish brother didn't know how to answer, I was groggy the day before yesterday and didn't know what I did, and my cousin also knew how bad my brother's health was, and I couldn't take care of it, how could I have such a great ability to save the son? ”

In addition to a few imperial doctors that day, Zhao Jingyi and the old eunuch were present, Zhao Jingyi was not a person of many words at first glance, let alone the old eunuch, as for the imperial doctor, he couldn't even compare to a sick and weak young man, and he couldn't even hang the southeast branch in time, could he still shout everywhere?

Lin Xi's words are reasonable, but there is nothing to doubt.

Xiao Yuheng said: "It's the difference between the foolish brothers, cousin, don't think about it, let's go to the West Courtyard to see the third master first." He asked Xiao Yuqi again, "Do you want the second brother to go with me?"

Xiao Yuqi replied: "Today is also the last day of the Guozijian, my younger brother will not go, and I will talk to my cousin another day." ”

Lin Xi also replied: "The second cousin's study is important, and when you are free, my younger brother will come to visit again." ”

The younger sister also said goodbye, and the two brothers walked slowly. Xiao Jinxin blessed her body, and without waiting for her sister, she took the girl back to her yard.

Xiao Jinlan had no choice but to bow and leave.

My cousin smiled. "The two younger sisters are not compatible, and it is difficult to be a brother.

Lin Xi shook his head and said that he didn't mind, sister-in-law vs. sister-in-law, which family really gets along in harmony?

The two cousins laughed and went to the West Courtyard of Yongning Hou, which was the courtyard of the third grandfather's house of the elder Yongning Hou's younger brother-in-law.

The third grandfather has two sons and a daughter, Xiao Yunye, the eldest son of the old wife Wang, is now a member of the Liupin Ministry of Labor, and has a son and a daughter with his wife Xiao Wang, his son Xiao Yuyang is ten years old this year, and his daughter Xiao Jinling is fourteen years old with Xiao Jinlan.

Xiao Yunming, the second son of the concubine, married the daughter of the He family, a big salt merchant, and now he has no errands, walking chickens and dogs, looking for flowers and asking willows, but only one daughter is still young.

Xiao Yuheng took Lin Xi to meet the third master and the third wife, Xiao Yunye's wife Wang and a pair of children, and Xiao Yunming's wife He and his daughter, but they did not see them in person.

One went to the Yamen, and the other went to the Wine Alley.

So Lin Xi got some greeting gifts and came back.

On this day, the bell rang.

The emperor boycotted the dynasty, the cabinet sealed the papers, the six pens were sealed, the college was suspended, the shops in the streets and alleys were closed one after another, and as soon as the firecrackers sounded, the atmosphere of the New Year became rich.

In previous years, Lin Xi always lived alone with Lin Qing's father and son, and later there were Pei Xuan, and then there were three people.

Now in less than half a year, things are wrong.

Lin Xi's Lanyue Xuan is now all from the Yongning Hou Mansion, the mother-in-law and the maid, and the steward have their own Yongning Hou Mansion's regular rewards.

However, when Lin Xi first arrived, he also prepared some more, and when these subordinates always came to Lin Xi to kowtow to the New Year, Zhou's mother arranged to send a reward.

Now Tuan Tuan Tuan Reunion is Lin Xi's big girl, with four little girls under her hands, and she has changed her name to Happy, Happy, Ruyi, Auspicious, and doing the work of serving tea and water and running errands, and it is Tuan Tuan Reunion who serves Lin Xi closely.

Because Lin Xi is still in the heat of filial piety, Lanyue Xuan is not good at pasting some festive flower paper, and there are no bright colors.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Yongning Marquis Mansion opened an ancestral hall, and the Yongning Marquis led all the Xiao clan disciples to worship their ancestors and train their disciples, which had little to do with Lin Xi.

In the afternoon, Lin Xi went to bed early, and in the evening, he was pushed to wake up and go to Chongjin Hall to keep the New Year with the other masters of the Yongning Hou Mansion, waiting for the bell to ring.

Chongjintang is harmonious and hot, it seems that they all come to keep the New Year after making up for sleep, and at a glance, whether it is the young master or the young lady, they are all in good spirits, and they are all in good spirits, and they are talking together.

I thought that this Chinese New Year's Eve would pass like this, but I didn't want the New Year to approach, and when this year was about to pass, the Rui King's Mansion came.
