The hearty laughter made people feel very festive when they heard it, and it was the housekeeper mother next to her grandmother Xiang who spoke, Ji Nianjin remembered that everyone in the house called Gao Mama. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mama Gao is the old man next to Xiang's side, and she is Xiang's dowry maid, and now, although she is still serving by Xiang's side, she is an old woman who is feared by everyone in Meifu.

She was wearing a brand-new lake-green gown, her hair was neatly combed, and she was wearing a silver hairpin engraved with the birthday of the crane, which was simple but dignified.

At this moment, Mama Gao's face was full of joy, and she took Ji Nianjin's hand and was about to take it to the house.

"Mama Gao, please send someone to take care of my carriage."

Although Mama Gao couldn't see Ji Nianjin's expression, she heard something from Ji Nianjin's tone.

"Don't worry, girl, it's properly kept, let's go in with the old slave, the old lady is eager to wear it."

Mama Gao smiled heartily, agreed, and then took Ji Nianjin into the Mei Mansion from the main gate, all the way through the main courtyard, through the second gate, and came to the back house.

Although the Mei Mansion is not as big as the Fu'an Hou Mansion, it is more exquisite than the Hou Mansion.

Ji Nianjin walked all the way, except for a casual look in the main courtyard, this entered the back house, which made Ji Nianjin sigh from time to time.

This is the mansion that a family with a deep heritage should have, and it is incomparable to the upstart of Fu'an Houfu.

Entering through the second gate, you will pass through a small garden with mountains and water, and at your feet is a cobblestone path that runs through the entire small garden.

Along the path, Mama Gao saw that Ji Nianjin was interested in the scenery, so she slowed down and asked a little girl to go back to the old lady to say something, and she took Ji Nianjin to look at the scenery carefully. The reason, everyone in the Mei Mansion knows that as long as the cousin is happy, the old lady will give a reward.

What's more, Mama Gao is really happy that Ji Nianjin can be happy in the Mei Mansion, as an old man next to Xiang's side, she naturally knows what Xiang is thinking, this cousin girl is not only surnamed Ji, but also the sisters and brothers in the house, they are all the same, they are all Xiang's heart and treasures.

Ji Nianjin stood on the edge of a clear pond, it was the cold winter season, and the fish could not be seen, but the silt at the bottom of the pond and the broken lotus branches could be clearly seen in the water.

It was so cold, and the pool water didn't freeze, which made Ji Nianjin very curious.

"Girl, if you come here in summer, then it is called beautiful, this pond is full of lotus flowers, fragrant, it really makes people linger."

Mama Gao smiled, and on her kind face, you could clearly see the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes after laughing, and she was kind and kind.

"Mama Gao, Jin'er still came before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, on her grandmother's birthday, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I miss my grandmother, is she an old man? Are the uncles and aunts in the house good, and are my cousins, cousins, cousins, ”

Ji Nianjin took a deep breath and entered the Mei Mansion, she relaxed for no reason, if it was possible, she would really prefer to live in the Mei Mansion, the air here smells better than the Fu'an Hou Mansion.

"Ouch, it's really a lovely one, I asked all the people in the house, don't worry, the old lady is in good health, your uncles and aunts and a few brothers and sisters, it's all right, the old slave follows the old lady, don't you look forward to the girl coming every day."

A few days ago, Gu's mother came once, and the old lady asked a lot of questions, eager to see the girl immediately, looking forward to when the girl would come. ”

Mama Gao smiled, continued to walk forward with Ji Nianjin, and Ji Nianjin talked about the new things in the house sentence by sentence, making Ji Nianjin happy several times, and Bai Zhi behind her was also happy in her heart, this was the happiest time for her to see the girl smile for the second time except for the time when the prince returned home.

After passing through the small garden, I arrived at the Yanshou Hall where the Xiang family lived.

Yanshou Hall is a courtyard with two entrances, and the main room of the first entrance is only made into a hall, and from the hall to the second courtyard, it is the place where Xiang's daily life is lived.

The courtyard of the second entrance is a large main house with five rooms, three bright and two dark, there are wing rooms in the east and west, and there are ear chambers on both sides of the main house.

In the yard, green plants such as pine and bamboo are carefully planted, so that people can maintain and grow vigorously.

Outside the main room, under the eaves corridor, Ji Nianjin saw a girl wearing a sky-blue silk embroidered straight-collared jacket at a glance, looking at the hall with a smile, and when she saw Ji Nianjin coming out of the hall, she quickly greeted her.

"Jin'er, you're here!"

The phoenix's eyes are circulating, the eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and when he laughs, there are two small dimples on his cheeks, which makes people feel sweet when they look at it.

With a goose egg face, a high nose bridge, and cherry lips lightly opened, it is the eldest girl of Meifu, Mei Ruolin.

Mei Ruolin is the eldest daughter of her uncle's family, five years older than Ji Nianjin, next year, she will perform a ceremony, which will be Ji Nianjin looked, and she was slim, beautiful and generous.

"Big cousin."

Ji Nianjin bowed slightly, asked Mei Ruolin to pull it up quickly, and said strangely:

"Okay, what's polite, if you are willing to come, I will be happy or something, no need to be so polite, go in quickly, grandmother can see through the roof."

Ji Nianjin smiled softly, and followed Mei Ruolin into the main room of Yanshou Hall.

The little maid opened the curtain and announced in a loud voice that Ji Nianjin had just walked into the house, and an old man with gray temples and kind eyes greeted her.

Wearing a dark purple Fuzi longevity pattern group flower straight collar jacket, embroidered with the same color horse-faced skirt of the five sons' birthday skirts, with a turquoise wide pattern between the foreheads, the expression is excited, it is the old lady of Meifu, Ji Nianjin's maternal grandmother Xiang.

"My Jin'er, it can be regarded as coming, I haven't come for a long time, so I think about this old woman very much, I should be beaten."

Although the old lady said that she should be beaten, she actually took Ji Nianjin's hand and looked carefully, and at the end, she took Ji Nianjin to sit on a carved yellow pear arhat bed at the top.

"Jin'er greets her grandmother."

After Ji Nianjin waited for the old lady to sit down, she hurriedly got up and stood down, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and sincerely wanted to make a big salute.

Before he could bow down, he asked the big girl next to the old lady to help her up.

Ji Nianjin shirked it, but still bowed down, and had to finish the ceremony.

Xiang smiled, and when Ji Nianjin finished his salute, he rubbed Ji Nianjin in his arms.

"My hibiscus is getting more and more painful."

Xiang said, looked at it for a while, and then continued:

"Well, the word is a little taller, and this complexion is also a lot better, it can be seen that during this time, I listened to my grandmother's words and ate and rested."

"Mother, what do you think of Jin'er's baby, and tell me and my sister-in-law to talk to Jin'er."

spoke with a teasing voice, revealing a hearty laugh, it was the second aunt Zhang.

Ji Nianjin got up from Xiang's arms, pursed her lips and smiled, walked softly in front of the two aunts, and bowed dignifiedly.

"Don't be polite, Jin'er, my aunt is happy, don't be so polite."

The eldest aunt, Chu, gently held Ji Nianjin's hand, looked up and down, and said kindly.

"Our Jin'er is getting more and more beautiful, and when I look at it, I carve it out of a mold with my little sister. Mother, tell me, isn't this what my little sister looked like when she was a child? ”

Zhang's face was full of seriousness, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and Xiang listened to what he said, and he became more and more happy.
