At this moment, Cui Shuyan was kneeling in front of the Marquis of Anxin and his wife to say goodbye, and the Hou Ye looked at his eldest son, who had not met for a long time, and did not speak, but just stroked his big beard with his hand, and his mood looked good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And Mrs. Hou Ye was a little excited, she stepped forward to help her son up in person, looked left and right, and saw that Cui Shuyan was just a little tanned, and the person looked thinner than before, although there was still some heartache, in the end, let go. But I can't help but nag a few words: "Yan'er, look at you, how did you lose weight, is this errand too hard?" I just said that it is best for you to stay in the capital and not go anywhere, you see, it has only been three months since you went out, and you have lost weight like this, and people have become so dark, I don't know how much you have suffered! Seeing that his mother had the posture of continuing to nag, Cui Shuyan hurriedly helped his mother with his backhand and asked her to sit down on the Taishi chair with yellow rosewood inlaid with soft silk embroidered gold silk entwined branches around the peony blossom pattern, with a big smile on her face, and shook her face left and right in front of Mrs. Hou to show his mother: "Mother, look, I have so much meat on my face, where has I lost weight!" Come, don't believe me, I still have flesh as before. I have to eat two big bowls of rice every meal! Cui Shuyan said exaggeratedly, grinning, pulling up his mother's hands and putting them on his face, he had to let his mother touch his face, and debate whether he had lost weight after he had been out for three months.

Cui Shuyan amused Mrs. Hou Ye this time, she laughed and scolded: "I'm still as naughty as when I was a child, and I haven't stabilized at all!" At this time, Shi Huiyun and his party had already arrived outside the door, and the big girl Meiling came in to report: "Master Hou, madam, the young lady has arrived, and several aunts are waiting at the door." ”

"Pass it in!" Mrs. Hou Ye sat up straight in her seat, and Cui Shuyan also sat on the chair that Hou Ye had started. Shi Huiyun brought four aunts into the door, and all the maids stayed outside the door and waited.

I have to say that Shi Huiyun is indeed very dignified, and his clothes and jade patterns have not moved at all along the way, and the beads on his head only swayed slightly. I saw her step forward lightly, trimming her eyebrows, landing on her knees, folding her hands to the center of her eyebrows, and giving a big gift to the Hou Ye and Mrs. in a proper manner. The four people behind her also followed her, but it didn't look as comfortable as Shi Huiyun, like flowing water, without any difference, except that her face was a little colder. In fact, she is very beautiful, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, but unfortunately she likes to rub a thick layer of powder on her face, and her face has always been cold and arrogant, although she has always admired her husband very much in her heart, but she has never made it clear to Cui Shuyan, so Cui Shuyan has always been lukewarm to her. Shi Huiyun missed her husband very much, and after giving a salute to the Hou Ye and his wife, she also gave Cui Shuyan a squatting salute, and said: "Husband!" How many thoughts and expectations are included, but unfortunately Cui Shuyan, the old man, couldn't understand it, so she had to sit down under Mrs. Hou in a daze.

After the four aunts came forward to greet the ceremony, Meiyu Meiyun stood behind Mrs. Hou Ye on the left and right, and squeezed Meilian, who was originally beating Madame's shoulder, to the side, so angry that Meilian's eyes were red. Meiyun Meiyu pinched her shoulders while beating her back, and waited until Mrs. Hou was comfortable, and said: "It's still Meiyun Meiyu, you two are skillful, I feel good when I see you two." With these words, Shi Huiyun and Chunjuan, Xiangshu and Xiangmo were shocked for a while, and they all glared at Meiyun and Meiyu fiercely. Meiyun and Meiyu were unmoved, but they smiled sweeter and brighter, both of them had a hint of pride on their eyebrows, and the twin sisters were not only beautiful, but also had the same temperament and movements.

Shi Huiyun has never been low and small, to do something to please her mother-in-law, the two aunts of Xiangshu and Xiangmo want to do a lot, but Mrs. Hou has always looked at the two of them very unpleasantly, thinking that the two of them did not serve their son well and study hard, but took advantage of the convenience of personal service to climb the mountain to their son's bed. Xiangshu and Xiangmo knew that Mrs. Hou didn't like her very much, so she was always trembling in front of her old man, lest she make a mistake. Although Chunjuan is an aunt, she has no right to speak, she is neither loved by the little Hou Ye nor by the Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye, and even the young lady of her family is indifferent to her. It turned out that when she was a maid, the young lady was still very close to her, but since she was made an aunt, the young lady has been light on her, and recently she seems to be more dependent on Chunqin, and many things in the young lady's house are also ordered to do it, and she Chunjuan is put aside, for these things, Chunjuan is in her eyes, anxious in her heart, but there is nothing to do.

At lunchtime, Mama Yao came in from outside the hall and asked for instructions: "Madam, it's time to eat, do you see whether it is placed in the dining room or in the flower hall, in the past two days, the flower room has warmed up two three-color begonias, and the slave maid has ordered someone to place it in the plum hall." Madam, you haven't been there for a few days, you haven't seen it, the plum blossoms inside and outside the plum hall are all blooming, and they are so beautiful that the slave is stupid and can't say it, but they look good. "Mama Yao is happy when she speaks, and she looks festive, and she looks smiling when she sees it all year round, so she is most liked by Mrs. Hou, and now she has become the first-class celebrity around Mrs. Hou.

"Oh! Is it? "Mrs. Hou is in a state of interest, are all the plum blossoms blooming? Is my green calyx blooming too? How many have you opened? ”

Mama Yao replied happily: "Fifteen flowers have been opened, and the green plum blossom slave maid is the first time I have seen it, and it has bloomed well, and I can smell the fragrance from afar." ”

Hearing what Mama Yao said, Mrs. Hou was interested: "Then put the meal in the flower hall!" Huiyun, go, take Brother Jin over for dinner. ”

Shi Huiyun then took the aunts to retire, and the aunts went back to their respective courtyards, Shi Huiyun, as a daughter-in-law, was qualified to go to the flower hall to accompany the Hou Ye and Mrs. to dine, but she was only to serve, and she was not qualified to eat with the Hou Ye and Mrs. on an equal footing.

Cui Shuyan saw that they were all gone, so he walked in front of the Hou Ye and his wife and made a farewell and retired to change his clothes. out

The weeping flower arch of Yonghe Courtyard, I saw a person outside the door, it was Cui Shuyan's grandmother Zhang, Zhang Mama has been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when she saw the little marquis coming out, she was about to salute, Cui Shuyan went up with an arrow step and said with a smile: "Nurse, you are here." ”

Zhang Shi pinched the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his smile was full of relief: "Little Hou Ye, why have you been gone for so long, and you didn't send a letter to your family, Li Si is useless, and he can actually follow you closely, I have already taught him a lesson, and now punish him for kneeling." It turned out that Li Si, the son of this wet nurse, was the playmate of the little marquis since he was a child, accompanied him to study and practice martial arts, and when he grew up, he became Cui Shuyan's personal guard.

"Ahh You actually punished him for kneeling! In fact, it's none of his business, we didn't know in advance that there was an ambush by the chaotic party, so we were in danger and scattered, nurse, let's call him up! ”

Zhang Nanniang made a straight face: "I want to punish him, let him know that it is his responsibility to protect you, and you are too, your own safety is the most important, don't go out of Beijing next time, the nurse can't withstand a few scares!" ”

Cui Shuyan saw that the nurse was still going to preach, so he hurriedly said: "Nurse, I brought a woman back, from Jiangning, Yongzhou, but I thought about it and didn't dare to tell my mother, what do you say?" ”

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang was really attracted to the past: "From Yongzhou, where did you place her?" ”

"I asked Brother Tie to take her to the Green Willow Courtyard, and I wanted to talk to my mother before taking her into the house, but I didn't know how to speak." Cui Shuyan didn't say that Qian Yuning was a widow, probably he knew in his heart that Mrs. Hou would not agree.

Mrs. Zhang didn't know why: "Even if Yongzhou brought it back, it's nothing, it's just a concubine room, the little marquis still can use it, only one, this concubine room must be a good family, let's not mix it with the flower building." ”

Grandma Zhang saw that the little marquis was silent, thinking that he was worried that he would not be able to bring anyone from the Luliu Courtyard into the house: "Little marquis, when the old man is clear, will help you pick her up?" ”

Cui Shuyan hurriedly refused: "Nurse, don't tell your mother yet, or you go and help me take a look first, teach her some rules, and she won't be rude when she sees her mother in the future." Seeing that the little marquis was so resolute, Grandma Zhang had to agree to go and see it first.

In the end, the little marquis still said: "Everything is left to the nurse, be sure to take care of her, she is a woman surnamed Qian, named Yuning, from a small place, I haven't seen anything in the world, the nurse will help me teach her well!" "The little marquis is so important, Grandma Zhang has never seen it again, she is a little happy in her heart and seems to be a little worried, she can't say the feeling, even she wants to see this woman named Qian Yuning soon.
