Although Jiang He's family had the intention to let He Junchi's mother and son see Jiang Suoyue once, but the timing was not so easy to find, Jiang Suoyue had nothing to do and didn't go out, and her mother's family was not reckless and lost Jiangfu, so the matter was delayed, and she didn't find an opportunity until the New Year.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Zhaolin received an invitation from his cousin Jiang Zhaoke, asking him to bring his family to the house the next day. They are all relatives, and they often walk around during the New Year festival in previous years, so Jiang Zhaolin took the family to Jiang's house in Yangshuli, where his cousin was.

Jiang He's family came to the front early to greet him, and when he saw that Jiang Suoyue was really here, a little smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said to Jiang Tian's family: "I was looking forward to you coming early in the morning, we are all in the capital, so we should move around more." ”

As the head of the house, the Eda family has seen a lot of this kind of entertainment scene, and they are also polite at the moment.

There are three women standing behind Jiang He's family, Jiang Suoyue recognized that the young woman wearing a red makeup satin dress was Jiang He's eldest daughter-in-law, and the girl wearing a pink embroidered spring flower rhombic brocade jacket was Jiang He's daughter Jiang Moxiang, these two people had seen each other when the two families walked around in previous years, and the other girl was very eye-catching, but seeing that she was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a small face of melon seeds, delicate eyebrows, and light rouge, so that the cheeks were moist like blooming peach blossoms, wearing a pink-blue feather satin jacket embroidered with irises, and a pale pink embroidered butterfly Luo skirt was tied underneath, standing with a light smile, amiable to watch.

I only heard Jiang He's introduction: "This is my maiden niece, called Mengqin, but it happens that I live here these days, and I can be a companion with the girls." ”

After seeing each other in two times, Jiang He smiled and said, "Xiang'er, take your sisters to your courtyard for a walk, so as not to panic in front of us." ”

Jiang Moxiang is a few months younger than Jiang Suaoyue, she is the youngest girl, and she looks childish, she smiled and beckoned to a few of them, and said, "Sisters, come on, I got a fun object a few years ago, come with me to take a look." ”

Jiang Jiaoyue asked curiously, "What kind of interesting object?" After that, I followed Jiang Moxiang and He Mengqin, and laughed all the way away. The two sisters Jiang Ruyue and Jiang Suoyue glanced at Jiang Tian's family, and saw that she nodded slightly, so they followed Jiang Moxiang.

Jiang Moxiang is talking about a marquee lamp, called the fairy sound candle in Beijing, her fairy sound candle has a total of eight sides, respectively painted the day and night of the four seasons of the year, when the lamp turns up, it is like the four seasons alternate, it is indeed exquisite and interesting.

The five girls admired the lamp for a while and praised it. Jiang Moxiang was young, and when she saw everyone praising her, she was very proud, and her face unconsciously showed it. Jiang Jiaoyue has the strongest temperament, and when she was at home, she was always envied by others, so she was naturally unwilling to be pressed by others at this time.

She rolled her eyes, took out a delicate purse, and said, "Come and see me." "Anyway, carefully pour out the objects inside, it is a set of zodiac ornaments, all of them are only the size of copper coins, all are made of glass, although there is glass at this time, but it is still a rare thing, and the glass fired by the craftsman contains more metal oxides, later generations called lead glass, although the color is bright, but it is very fragile, Jiang Jiaoyue this set can be made into the form of the zodiac, although the size is smaller, but it is also worth a lot of money, no wonder Jiang Jiaoyue is close to the body to play.

Sure enough, as soon as it came out, it attracted a burst of exclamations, Jiang Moxiang exclaimed: "Although I also have glass objects, but it is just a pair of glass bead earrings, this is actually a set of zodiac signs, it is really rare, so precious, I dare not touch it." ”

Jiang Jiaoyue was proud in her heart, so she generously stuffed one in her hand, and said, "What is this, there is something rarer than this in my grandfather's family, you can play with it if you want to." Then he beckoned the others to come forward and get a trick.

Jiang Suoyue also chose one of the venues, and put it down after playing for a while, she didn't want to touch Jiang Jiaoyue's things, in case of a mistake, she really couldn't resist it, and now that Jiang Jiaoyue's vanity has been fulfilled, she quickly cleaned it up.

But seeing that He Mengqin was the same as her, she only held it in her hand and watched it for a moment before putting it down, she leaned in front of Jiang Suoyue and said, "Sister Jiang, what are you usually stubborn at home?" ”

Jiang Suoyue was a little puzzled in her heart, she and this He Mengqin had just met, she was a little warm to herself, shouldn't ordinary people choose to make friends and please Jiang Jiaoyue. Although she was puzzled in her heart, she still replied politely: "It's also some of the daughter's stubborn nowadays, such as picking up children, playing Shuanglu and the like, there is nothing new." ”

He Mengqin smiled: "Yes, we are also stubborn at home, but my mother circles me to do embroidery all day long, and I don't have time to come out to play with my sisters. ”

She smiled and smiled, and her tone was enthusiastic, which made people can't bear to refuse, Jiang Suoyue naturally talked to her for a while, from her favorite clothes and jewelry to the books she reads on weekdays, and listened to her introduce the scenic spots in Beijing, which can be regarded as speculative.

After the two got acquainted with each other, He Mengqin said again: "The charcoal pot in this house is stuffy, I want to go out to breathe, my sister might as well go together." ”

Jiang Suoyue also didn't like to smell the smell of charcoal in the house in winter, and when she saw that Jiang Jiaoyue was also chatting hotly, she nodded and agreed, saying, "I also have this intention." ”

He Mengqin affectionately pulled her out of the door, she seemed to be very familiar with this place, and there was no restraint of guests in the action, so she took Jiang Suaoyue out of the courtyard generously, and said: "Auntie's plum blossoms are blooming, they are very fragrant, let's go and take a look." ”

Jiang Suoyue didn't care where to go, so she nodded and agreed, and followed her towards the east garden, along the way, He Mengqin said that Jiang Suoyue just listened with a smile, and it is always difficult for people who are good at listening to leave a bad impression, not to mention that if you say too much, you will lose, she and He Mengqin have just met, and they don't know their character, so they don't say much.

"If you have time to go to my house to see, I don't dare to say, my plum blossoms are beautiful at the top, there is a plum tree that has been nearly a hundred years old, and the petals that fall every year can accumulate such a thick layer." She used her hand to show Jiang Saoyue a thickness of about an inch, and her expression was very happy.

Jiang Suanyue smiled: "That's really rare, I really want to go and see it, but I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity." ”

He Mengqin showed a mysterious smile and said, "As long as you want to, you will definitely be able to see it, maybe you can see it every year, every day." ”

Jiang Suoyue didn't know what she meant, she only felt that she had something to say, so she looked at her suspiciously, but she didn't answer Jiang Saoyue's eyes, turned her face slightly, and said, "It's a little further on, let's go quickly." ”

After a while, Jiang Suoyue really smelled a trace of the fragrance of plum blossoms, and saw a few branches full of flowers sticking out of a low wall not far away, and the shadows sloped over the mottled brick wall, adding a bit of interest. The two of them walked around the low wall, and the plum trees came into view, and a strange fragrance came to their noses.

"It's so pretty, let's pick some and go back to the bottle." He Mengqin suggested.

Jiang Suoyue was a little worried, and said, "Is this good?" Would you like to ask? ”

He Mengqin said with a smile: "Oh, you are too careful, but picking a few flowers, where can my aunt be so stingy, even if you pick this tree bald, my aunt will not say a word." ”

Jiang Suoyue imagined her picking the tree bald, and she couldn't help laughing, so she no longer hesitated, and picked her favorite flower branches while turning, and after a while, she also picked some and held them in her hand.

When she was thinking in her heart about picking a few branches and going back to share them with others, she suddenly heard He Mengqin shouting: "Mother, third brother, do you also come here to enjoy the flowers?" When he turned around, he saw a woman wearing a flat gold satin skirt with autumn fragrance standing not far away, and a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old wearing a blue landscape pattern brocade robe.
