The two relieved each other again, and when it was close to lunchtime, Xie Heng sent someone to call his daughter-in-law and the juniors in the family to Ruizhentang to officially introduce Han Qing to the family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Han Qing opened her eyes and saw a pair of big and round peach blossom eyes looking at her, she was a little girl with a double bun, she looked like she was eight or nine years old, wearing an emerald green smoke silk skirt, the neckline and cuffs were not embroidered with grass lines, but they were vividly embroidered with birds, and when she smiled, there were two small dimples on her lips, which were sweet and cute.

"My sister is awake," the little girl's voice was as cheerful as a yellow warbler, "Hey, this sister is so familiar, I must have seen it before." Hearing this, everyone in the room was happy.

"The old lady can't see clearly, Miss Qing's eyes are very similar to our second girl, aren't the second girls familiar?" Pei Shi listened to the explanation of Mama Gao next to him, and smiled even more and said, "Qing girl, this is your second sister, she has only passed her eighth birthday in April this year, and you two will have fun in the future." ”

Han Qing also guessed that this little girl was Xie Wanruo, the second girl of her uncle's family, and sat up with a smile and shouted to Xie Wanruo, "Second sister." Xie Wanruo's milky voice made Xie Wanruo happy, and sat on the couch and hugged Han Qing, "I'm so happy, I'll be my sister in the future." The crowd laughed again.

At this time, the eldest lady beside the old lady came over to tidy up Han Qing's clothes, took a wet handkerchief to wipe her face and hands, and then held a teacup with azure glaze and fed two sips of water.

Waiting for Han Qing to come to his senses, Xie Heng called her to his side and said to everyone, "This is Ah Yu's daughter, and you are not allowed to call Cousin and Miss Qing in the future, you will be called the third girl." Then he pointed to a beautiful woman dressed in a lotus skirt embroidered with entwined branches on plain Hangzhou silk and said, "That's your aunt, just ask her for anything you need in the future." ”

After Han Qing stepped forward to say hello, Cui Shi hurriedly took Han Qing into his arms and liked it for a while, and then took out a bracelet of mutton fat and white jade, the size was just right for a child to wear. Han Qing didn't refuse, thanked Cui Shi generously, and put the bracelet on his hand. Cui Shi saw that although Han Qing was small, he was the demeanor of a noble girl of the world, and he was even more satisfied.

Next, when I came to Xie Yi's side, Han Qing kept calling Xie Yi's eldest cousin on the boat before, but now the old lady changed her name and directly called Xie Yi the eldest brother, and Xie Yi gave Han Qing a lone travelogue.

The second young master of the Xie family is named Xie Yan, now he is 14 years old, and he is the age when he can't be idle, seeing that his aunt's sister is so smart and cute, he likes it very much, so he rubbed Han Qing's hair and said, "The third sister is so cute, in the future, the second brother will take you to the Zhuangzi to hunt birds and catch fish." ”

Han Qing was originally a face control, although the second brother was young, he also grew into a white and tender beautiful boy, not to mention that he was going to take him out to play, and he was even more busy nodding his head and calling the second brother. However, when I opened the purse handed over by the second brother, I couldn't cry or laugh, isn't this just glass beads, and if I think about the scarcity of glass in ancient times, it can be regarded as the second brother's trouble.

Uncle Cui gave birth to a total of two sons and two daughters, the first two are sons, and the last two are daughters, so the eldest girl of the Xie family came forward to salute after the two elder brothers, only to see Xie Wanran born with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, Qiong nose and pink lips, dressed in a lake blue embroidered white magnolia Yunyanluo skirt, eleven years old is already a slim girl.

Xie Wanran has a gentle and demure temperament, so she doesn't like her cousin as much as her second sister, so she only said "Third sister, in the future, the eldest sister will take you to study and practice the piano together", and then gave Han Qing the handkerchief embroidered by herself.

Xie Wanruo was at the end of the line, she was already impatient, and when she saw that her sister had met Han Qing, she immediately came over and took Han Qing's hand and said, "Good sister, I am the second sister, come to the second sister for anything in the future, the second sister will play with you." Saying that, he gave Han Qing the sachet he was holding in his hand, "This is the embroidery thread I drew and picked myself."

After she finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter in the room, and Xie Yan smiled and said, "In the end, you are playing with the third sister, or the third sister is playing with you, the eldest sister is happy to play with you, and now that the third sister is here, you have someone to accompany you." ”

Xie Heng was happy to see that the family was happy, and he was also happy, and then called Han Qing to his side and said, "Your uncle is now working in Nanjing, and he can only see him during the New Year's holidays, but when you come to the house, your uncle likes it very much, and he has already prepared gifts for you, and they are all in the house where you want to live." ”

The family set up a meal in the side hall of Ruizhen Hall, and Han Qing was placed next to Mrs. Tai, and Mama Gao waited for the meal, and after the meal, they dispersed to rest. Mrs. Tai made a special trip to send someone to clean up the yard that she had prepared for her daughter Xie Yu before, and then sent Mama Gao to lead Han Qing to settle down.

Before going out, Mrs. Tai took Han Qing's little hand and said, "Grandmother heard that you left your grandmother in Da'an County, and you can't find a good one for the temporary upbringing of your grandmother at this time, the two big maids you brought are not young, I will give you two second-class maids next to me, and in the future, your eldest maid will marry someone so that you can make up for it, and then let your aunt and uncle match the little maids and mother-in-law in your house." Good no good? ”

Han Qing knew that Mrs. Tai was thinking about herself, so she quickly nodded and said yes. So when Mama Gao went out with Han Qing in her arms, she was followed by the second-class maids Cheng Xin and Bing Yi beside the old lady, both of whom were about ten years old, but they acted very steadily.

Walk through the verandah in front of the hall, cross the moon cave gate on the east side, go out of the Ruizhen Hall, walk along the verandah, and then walk across the covered bridge to a courtyard. Han Qing knew that there were many cloudy and rainy days in the south, so she liked this kind of criss-crossing corridor design that would not be caught by the rain no matter how she walked.

I have long found that the garden design of the Xie family seems to lead to the living water surrounding, into their own yard is to find a living spring, walking under the corridor found that the center of the vestibule is the spring of the living spring, is still bubbling water, a small spring pool around the spring, east and west two streams, the water is led out of the yard, and the fork in the road leads to the back garden of the main house.

The front yard is very open, and there are many camphor trees, osmanthus trees, cherry blossom trees and hibiscus trees scattered against the low wall. The main house is a two-story embroidery building, there are two side rooms on both sides, and there are two times behind the side room that are used as warehouses and small kitchens, and the maids who serve also have their own rooms.

Entering the main house is a large open hall, on the left hand is a top to the roof of the Duobao Pavilion, separating the hall from the study, the Duobao Pavilion is placed on a variety of valuable antique ornaments, as well as a number of foreign goods. The large bookshelves in the study room are also full of books, from calligraphy and painting inserts to pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

On the right-hand side is a living room with a piano and chess embroidery frame, a huge soft collapse by the window, a brocade mattress covered with lake-green ice cracks, and a number of deep and light turquoise backrests and pillows. The whole room, from the piano stand to the rose chairs, is long for every corner to be covered with delicate brocade. It's just that the eldest aunt took into account that Han Qing was guarding her mother's filial piety, so she used more plain and cool colors.

From the hall to the second floor, is a living room facing the window, downstairs piano room is facing a maid maid vigil room, and then inside is the bathroom, downstairs study above facing Han Qing's bedroom, the pearl curtain is moist and lovely, by the south window set up a soft collapse, the couch is placed on the red sandalwood kang table, on the table is a gilt silver cloisonné enamel incense burner, opposite against the wall is placed a red sandalwood carved dressing table, on the dressing table all kinds of jewelry boxes and bottles and jars, next to the north window inserted in the painted twig porcelain vase white peony with fresh dewdrops.

Further inside, the two walls are from the bottom to the top of the ceiling of the carved rosewood cabinet, connected to the cabinet is a huge rosewood carved bird pattern of the stepping bed, the moon door hangs the curtain of moonlight yarn, the foot on the blanket wrapped with Shu brocade seams, although the big bed is heavy but gives people a sense of elegance and coolness. Along the way, Han Qing couldn't help but sigh at the thoughtfulness of Cui's housewife.

"Are the three girls tired? Would you like to take a lunch break? Mama Gao asked Han Qing softly, Han Qing shook her head and said, "I slept at my grandmother's in the morning, and now I don't feel sleepy at all, where are Sister Lotus and Sister Peach Blossom who came with me placed?" ”

Mama Gao replied, "The two big girls went to settle your mother's mourning hall in the morning, and now they should have had lunch and have already placed the girls and their respective things." ”

As he was talking, he saw the two of them pick up the bead curtain and come in, saluting Han Qing and Mama Gao, "Girl and Mama, do you want to meet the little maid and mother-in-law sent by Madame to serve?" ”

Han Qing nodded and said, "That's what you should see." Saying that, Mama Gao led her downstairs.
