Walking through is the granddaughter of the elder of the pavilion, from the moment Su Jinqiu opened his eyes, all that came into his eyes was luxury. Two wet nurses, eight grandmothers, and more than a dozen girls waited around them, which was not a rough cleaning. In the past eight years, it is no exaggeration to say that he has simply sat on top of the gold mountain, so that Su Jinqiu has no concept of silver.

When his mother Yu was alive, Su Jinqiu followed him to the poor official's house, and knew that if the Taoist official was poor, his life would be even harder. Before coming to Jiangcheng, Su Jinqiu knew that the Hou Mansion of Jiangcheng was very poor, and the five generations of the Hou Mansion were passed on to the last generation, especially when the Mu family had an accident more than ten years ago, they could barely keep it with all their wealth, and now it is enough to eat.

With such psychological preparation, Su Jinqiu was surprised the moment he stepped into the Jiangcheng Hou Mansion.

It's very rich, it's not poor at all, it's almost worse than the old mansion, but it's much stronger than the down-and-out mansions in the capital. It was already dark when I entered the door, and although it was not as bright as the road, there were still claw lamps hanging in front of each door. The daughter-in-law of the housekeeper who led the way in front was also very decently dressed.

You can only look at these, at least there must be decent on the outside.

"I didn't know that the girl was coming, and she didn't send anyone to greet her, so it's no wonder that the girl is there." The housekeeper's daughter-in-law said, looking at Su Jinqiu quietly, if it weren't for Su Huaiyu who had come to the Jiangcheng Hou Mansion and recognized her, she really wouldn't dare to let them in.

Dressed in men's clothes, the two followed, the tattered carriage, and the old daughter of such a pavilion, who would dare to believe it.

"It's because we're in a hurry." Su Jinqiu said with a smile.

From the beginning of entering the door, she was looked at and sympathized. Maybe she should shed tears and prove that she is really miserable?

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law thought for a while and asked, "Is the girl ready to eat?" ”

Su Jinqiu replied truthfully: "Not yet." ”

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law nodded, beckoned a little girl, and whispered a few words.

After speaking, he almost looked at Su Jinqiu with pity, the phoenix that fell on the shelf was not as good as a chicken, even if she was a former daughter, she was now depressed and couldn't eat.

All the way to the main courtyard of Mrs. Mu, there was a girl waiting at the door, and the word said: "The old lady is having dinner in the house, and the girl knows that the girl has not eaten yet, so she will give her own food to the girl to use first, and the girls have already set the table in the west wing." The old lady said that the girl had a hard time on the road, and she would meet after dinner. ”

Su Jinqiu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed softly. Anyway, it's not bad to finally give a hot meal to eat, and said, "It's hard for my sister to pass the word." ”

The girl turned around and went, and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law led Su Jinqiu and Su Huaiyu into the West Wing to eat, three dishes and one soup, and two bowls of rice, which was not rich, and it was enough for two people to eat. And the dishes are exquisite and delicious, it should really be Mrs. Mu's meal. Meimei ate a meal, rinsed her mouth after the meal, and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law led Su Jinqiu and Su Huaiyu into the main room.

The title of Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion was passed to Mrs. Mu This is the last generation, and when Mrs. Mu died, it was the time when the Mu family went to the lord. At this time, Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu lived in the main room in the middle, according to the rules of the Hou Mansion, five rooms with three ears, left and right wings, and the courtyard was square and neat.

"To Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Mu, please be safe, follow the old lady's order, and bring the girl to see the second elder." Su Huaiyu stepped forward to salute.

Su Jinqiu followed to greet the salute, and couldn't help but look at the two old men sitting in the middle, both of them had gray hair, according to their age, they were about the same as Mrs. Su, but they looked much older than Mrs. Su, especially Mrs. Mu on the left, who looked even older with a frown.

Without waiting for Su Jinqiu to finish the ceremony, the old lady Mu on the right cried first, especially when she saw Su Jinqiu dressed up, she whimpered: "Son, how much suffering have you suffered!" ”

The mother-in-law on both sides helped Su Jinqiu up and sent her to Mrs. Mu, who looked Su Jinqiu up and down, and her tears flowed even more fiercely. asked Su Huaiyu about the situation at home, Su Huaiyu only said that Mrs. Su had already made arrangements, and the family had already been settled, and then ordered her and Lao Zhang to send Su Jinqiu here.

Old lady Mu was silent, and when she heard this, she sighed and said to Su Huaiyu: "I persuaded my uncle to withdraw and retreat, but I didn't expect it to ...... Anyway, when our granddaughter comes to us, we will take good care of it, please rest assured Miss Huaiyu. ”

Su Huaiyu pursed her lips and said nothing, but she looked directly at Old Lady Mu.

Old Mrs. Mu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looked at Su Jinqiu and said, "The girl will be with me in the future, just like at home." ”

Su Jinqiu was silent, and followed with a handkerchief to wipe his tears.

"It's not early, the girl has worked hard all the way, so it's better to rest early." Old Lady Mu said, thought for a while, and said, "Let's live in ...... first The three rooms on the east side of the back cover building were cleaned up, and the people around him will slowly pick them up later. ”

Mrs. Mu listened to Mrs. Mu's arrangement, and she seemed a little hesitant, and the back cover building was a place for piles of debris. But Old Lady Mu's words were out of her mouth, and she couldn't refute them. Just said, "There...... It's good. ”

Su Jinqiu looked at the expressions of the two, his heart was bright, and he bowed his head and said humbly: "Thank you for the old lady's love, but when I came, my grandfather told me that the old lady and the old lady are old, don't let the second old man worry about me, just tell my aunt if you have something." If you live in the back room with your aunt, you are afraid that your life will be a little inconvenient. In addition, my parents have not yet completed the three-year filial piety period, and they still have to worship from time to time, so it is not appropriate to live in the main courtyard. Forgive my granddaughter for being bold and wanting to find a small courtyard near the back door, so that I can ask the old lady and the old lady every day, and my living life is also very convenient. ”

She is eight years old this year, and although it is said that men and women are not at the same age at the age of seven, eight years old is actually an age that does not need to be avoided. Quansu Huaiyu is different, an adult woman in her twenties has no husband, and there are many adult men in the Mu family, all kinds of inappropriate. Moreover, she is an adopted daughter, unmarried, practicing martial arts, and belongs to the outliers among the girls, and many scholars discriminate against her.

Just looking at Old Lady Mu's expression and tone of voice when she looked at Su Huaiyu, she was simply looking at her subordinates, or looking down on her subordinates. From the moment she entered the door, she could feel the Mu family's attitude towards her, rather than being looked down upon by all kinds of displeasure, it was better to stay away, why bother to find it uncomfortable.

According to the layout of the general Hou Mansion, there will always be several small courtyards in the back garden, in order to facilitate the walkway of the next person, there will be a back door in the back garden to lead to the street. Seeking such a small courtyard is still within the scope of the Mu family, and the life can also be distinguished from the Mu family, but it is simply borrowed, and the daily supply is still their own.

The cannibalistic mouth is short, and the hands are short, the Mu family didn't drive her out, but they didn't welcome her coming. If you have to borrow it, then don't spend other people's money, and you can get some good faces.

Old Lady Mu frowned and said, "This ...... How can you do it, if you live there......"

"Please rest assured, old lady, my aunt will take care of me." Su Jinqiu said, looking very embarrassed and said: "This time, there is Lao Zhang, although he is a subordinate, he is an adult man, and he has to rely on him for letters from the Su family, and I am afraid that it will be very inconvenient to be discharged from the back house......"

"Humph!" Old Lady Mu snorted coldly, and said with a very disdainful expression: "Since this is the case, then you can live in Biyunxuan at the back, just behind the garden, close to the corner gate, and it is easy to enter and exit." ”

"Thank you, old lady." Su Jinqiu said.

Old Lady Mu looked very worried, but she didn't dare to say anything, and paused for a moment before saying, "It's getting late today, the house will be cleaned up tomorrow, and ...... today Just spend the night in the East Wing. As for the two uncles, I'll see you tomorrow. Wear your sixth sister's clothes first, and I'll send someone to send them to you later. ”

"Yes, let the old lady worry about it." Su Jinqiu lowered his head and said.

Old Lady Mu sighed and said, "Go and rest." ”

As he spoke, he told the girl next to him to take care of it.

"Come back tomorrow morning with the old lady, the old lady please be safe." Su Jinqiu said, respectfully bowing and retreating.

The east wing room is occasionally used as a guest residence, although it is much simpler than the main room, but it is a complete set of things. The hot kang head, the fragrant quilt, and more comfortable is that you can take a bath.

The hot water was still being prepared, the two girls cleaned up the bed, and Su Jinqiu also began to sort out the baggage. Anyway, there is a place to stay, far away from the capital, living in the Hou Mansion, at least there is no need to flee everywhere.

Su Huaiyu sat on the couch, looking very unhappy.

The 80,000 taels of silver given by Mrs. Su can be regarded as feeding the dog, and it is still a dog without conscience.

"I just learned that my sister was here, so I paid a special visit and didn't disturb my sister." A crisp female voice came from the door, and her words were smiling, very light and lively.

Su Jinqiu couldn't help but turn her head to look at it, and the person who entered the door was an eight or nine-year-old girl, with red lips and white teeth, sweet and cute. Especially when I look at her eyes, I can feel the kindness and gentleness in them.

"This is the six girls." The mother-in-law next to her whispered a reminder.

Su Jinqiu understood and said with a smile: "Where did my sister say, I can't be happy if I can come to see me." ”

She has done the homework of the Mu family, although she has never seen it, probably the family members know the way.

Mrs. Mu has two sons, all of whom are from Mrs. Mu's belly, but the brothers are not in harmony, and they have separated in more than ten years. The second room encircles a piece to the west of the Hou Mansion, and there is another gate source.

Those who are married and dead are not counted, and there are two sons-in-law in the big house, a daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law; Two rooms, one sister-in-law, two concubines.

The sixth girl is Mu Liuniang, the eldest of the girls in the big house, and the oldest of the girls who have not left the pavilion.

"This is my new dress this year, I haven't worn it yet, my sister must not dislike it." Mu Liuniang said with a smile.

The two girls behind him immediately stepped forward with their new clothes and handed them to the mother-in-law next to them.

Su Jinqiu was a little surprised, she was coldly treated by Mrs. Mu, she didn't expect Mu Liuniang to come and take the initiative to send clothes, she was very grateful, and said with a smile: "Thank you sister for your love." ”

Mu Liuniang said with a smile: "They are all their own sisters, why bother to say thank you for a trivial matter." My sister is working the road, so I won't disturb my sister's rest, and I'll come to see my sister tomorrow. My sister is new to the city, and if she lacks anything, just go to me and look for it. ”

"Thank you, Sister Lu." Su Jinqiu said with a smile.

A few polite words, Mu Liuniang was about to go back before she sat down, and Su Jinqiu saw that there was not even tea in the house, so she didn't stay as a guest.

Sent Mu Liuniang to the door, and when she left, Mu Liuniang smiled and said, "Sister, don't be polite to me." ”

"Uh...... I have something to say to my sister. Su Jinqiu said with a smile.

Mu Liuniang turned around, and when Su Jinqiu returned to the house, she was a little puzzled in her heart, she was so miserable now, she had to borrow from someone to change her clothes, and it was reasonable for someone to be kind and sympathetic to her.

Mu Liuniang's expression when she looked at her was really ......

Completely look at the expressions of acquaintances, and then at first sight, two people who are completely strangers will always have a sense of strangeness when they meet for the first time. There is no sense of disobedience in Mu Liuniang, as if they are old friends.

Could it be that she met Mu Liuniang in a dream?

I didn't care about the reason, and the bath water in the ear room was ready. When his body was soaked in warm water, Su Jinqiu decided to put down his doubts first, when he first came to the Mu family, he was still disgusted by his master, and he had to go to the two uncles tomorrow morning to say goodbye, and then clean up the house, there were really a lot of things.

In the future, she will spend more time with Mu Liuniang, and if there is really something weird, she will always know the way. At this time, she didn't even understand Mu Liuniang's temperament, and it was useless to break her head.

The brocade quilt slept comfortably, was woken up by the girl, and after washing, he changed into the clothes sent by Mu Liuniang yesterday. It's all light-colored, and the colors are very few, which should be taken into account that she has filial piety and is very careful. Su Huaiyu also changed back into women's clothes, which were the clothes of Mrs. Mu, which were sent by someone last night.

I had breakfast in the house, and I felt that the time was about the same, and the two went to the main room together to say goodbye. Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu had just finished eating, and the big room had not yet come over, and the hall seemed a little deserted for a while.

"Biyunxuan is in the corner of the back garden, the terrain is not good, you better go to the back cover building to live, closer to me." Old Madam Mu said meaningfully to Su Jinqiu.

Yesterday, she had a good talk with Mrs. Mu, and Mrs. Mu finally relented. Although the rear cover is not very good, daily life is always fine. The Su family is really finished this time, poor and white. My brother's only granddaughter came to join her, and no matter what, she had to give her a bite to eat.

I don't blame Old Lady Mu for being ruthless, when Old Lady Su was an old man, he was so high and powerful, and I didn't see him carrying the Mu family.

"Thank you for the old lady's care, but I discussed with my aunt that it would be more convenient to live in the back." Su Jinqiu got up and said, Mrs. Mu is her aunt and grandmother, and she will think about her somewhat. smiled and said, "The old lady doesn't have to worry about me, my aunt will take care of my daily life." Biyun Xuan is not only facing the back street, it is convenient to buy and buy usually, and the daily supply in the house is also very convenient. ”

Since we talked about housing again, it is better to talk about it together. directly made it clear that although she was a relative, she was just borrowing it and would not spend the Mu family's money. 80,000 taels of silver to rent a small courtyard for a few years, which is also a sky-high price.

Old Lady Mu snorted coldly when she heard this, and said, "In that case, let the mother-in-law take you over now and clean up by yourself." ”

"Old lady......" Old Lady Mu couldn't help but say, but glanced sideways at Su Jinqiu, why doesn't this girl know what to do, she is all down like this, and she still thinks she is the daughter of the old mansion.

"Big master, big lady has arrived...... little girl came in.

The big house came over to say goodbye, and the words just now stopped unconsciously.
