"The eldest miss, the second miss, the uncle's wife of the Li family and the two cousin ladies are here. Madame ordered, after the two young ladies returned to the house, they went directly to the main courtyard to meet the guests! ”

As soon as he returned to Xie's mansion, Cai Ling, who was beside the Li family, greeted him and said to Sister Xie Qingyao.

"Cousin Wanyan and Cousin Wanyu are here?" Xie Qingshu's eyes showed joy.

"Exactly!" Cai Ling smiled and said, "Mrs. Uncle heard that Mrs. has an extra daughter-in-law, so she came to congratulate her!" ”

"Sister Cailing is here to tease me again!" Xie Qingshu lowered her head embarrassedly, and ran towards her Qingshu Pavilion with her maid. ”

"Sister Cailing, will my aunt stay in Xie Mansion this time?" Xie Qingyao asked.

Cai Ling nodded, lowered her voice and said, "I heard that I plan to stay for a long time." Madame has just asked people to clean up the Chuxue Garden and Fangfei Pavilion for the uncle's wife and mother and daughter. I heard that the reason why my uncle's wife wanted to stay in Xie Mansion was because I was annoyed by my uncle. ”

Xie Qingyao nodded, feeling a sense of proportion in his heart. Li's brother is named Li Changqing, and he only has two daughters under his knees. In his last life, he was raised in an outer room elsewhere and gave birth to a son.

For the sake of this son, Li Changqing and his wife were angry a lot, and even made the wife and daughters angry to live in Xie Mansion for a long time. However, at that time, Li Wanyu did not appear in the imperial capital, and only one Li Wanyan came here.

Xie Qingyao returned to her residence, put on a cyan pinched gold thread embroidered lotus gown, and asked Zigui to comb her hair again, while listening to Zi Shu's chatter about trivial matters in the house.

"Uncle took the outer room into the house, and everything was close to her, so he almost offered it with incense and candles." There is no schadenfreude in Zishu's words: "This is retribution!" At the beginning, the uncle abandoned his original partner and eldest daughter in order to marry a new wife, and now, it is the turn of today's uncle and wife to taste the taste again. ”

Xie Qingyao smiled, and suddenly said, "Zigui, Zishu, I'll change your name!" ”

Zishu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Miss, please command!" ”

Xie Qingyao's index finger tapped lightly on the table top of the dresser and said, "Zigui, it will be changed to Bailing in the future; Zishu, later changed to Snow Goose. ”

"Bailing, snow goose, aren't these all the names of birds?" Zishu smiled and said jokingly, "Miss, should you change our Qingyao Pavilion into Qingyao Nest, right?" ”

"That's a good idea!" Xie Qingyao raised her eyebrows and said, "It's called Hundred Torii Gates, how about it?" ”

"Wouldn't that change the names of the other subordinates as well?" Zigui suddenly said loudly.

"Just change the names of our own people." Xie Qingyao chuckled and said, "Those who can be trusted by us can be used by me." Also, tell people that I don't want people in other yards to name their birds. If they are willing to change, we can send something to compensate. ”

The two girls understood and nodded their heads.

A moment later, Xie Qingyao came to the main courtyard with Bai Ling and Xue Yan. Uncle's wife, Lan Xin'er, and Li Wanyan's sisters are there. Xie Qingshu also arrived early, and she was being held in Lan Xin'er's arms, giggling non-stop.

"Mother, aunt, Cousin Yan, Cousin Yu!" Xie Qingyao greeted them one by one.

"Miss, please get up!" Lan was a middle-aged woman, she was a little fat, and the corners of her eyes drooped slightly. Xu was born in a wealthy businessman's family, and he always had the shrewdness of a businessman in his eyes. At this moment, she let go of Xie Qingshu, affectionately helped Xie Qingyao's hands, and said with a smile: "What a good boy who is sensible and polite!" No wonder my sister-in-law loves her so much. ”

"That is, in front of my sister-in-law!" Li Shi smiled and said, "Wanyan's good days are coming soon, right?" I heard that the husband's family is the youngest son of General Zhou's family? This is a coincidence, Tsinghua's daughter-in-law is the eldest daughter of General Zhou! ”

"I agreed with my husband's family before, and it will be in March next year." When Lan Shi said this, his expression was a little gloomy, "This marriage is the master's work." At the beginning, I heard that General Zhou's youngest son was a son-in-law, and he was also handsome, so he settled down in a daze. Alas, at the beginning, I really shouldn't have promised my lord to marry Wanyan to the Zhou family. ”

"Oh? General Zhou's family style is also upright, could it be that there is something wrong with that young son? ”

Lan sighed deeply, the corners of his eyes moistened slightly.

"Qingyao, you take Wanyan and Wanyu to their residence to have a look!" The Li family branched out of the juniors, thinking that they wanted to say something considerate.

"Cousin Wanyu, cousin Wanyan, I'll take you to the First Snow Garden and Fangfei Pavilion to have a look!" Xie Qingyao got up and said, "The plum blossoms in the Chuxue Garden are blooming just right, and now is the time for the catkins to fly in the Fangfei Pavilion, which can barely be regarded as two landscapes. ”

"Cousin Lao leads the way!" The sadness in the corner of Li Wanyan's eyes flashed, and then she smiled coquettishly: "I have long heard that there are a lot of white jade ice plums planted in the Xie Mansion, big sister, you will definitely not let your sister be happy, right?" ”

Li Wanyu glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "It's all up to my sister." It's good for my sister to live in Fangfei Pavilion. ”

"Thank you, big sister!" Li Wanyan raised her eyebrows, "Sister Qingshu, I heard that you have a yard of pear blossoms there." Now, all those pear blossoms should be blooming, right? Shall we take a look? ”

"Second cousin, don't laugh at my sister!" Xie Qingshu smiled lightly and said, "Cousin Shanqin, a few days ago, my father asked someone to order a paulownia phoenix piano for me. It's a pity that my sister has only been learning the piano for a few days, and I want to listen to my cousin's fairy sound! ”

"Don't just praise me, your painting skills are also well-known in the imperial capital!" Li Wanyan smiled and said, "My eldest sister's handwriting is excellent, cousin Qingshu, if you get the painting in a while, you can ask the eldest sister to write an inscription." ”

"It's just a casual write-up, don't listen to the second sister!" Li Wanyu shook her head slightly, took Xie Qingyao's hand and said, "I really want to practice martial arts, but unfortunately it was delayed in the early years, and now it's too late to pick it up." ”

Li Wanyan frowned and said: "The girl's family doesn't need to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and it is useless to practice martial arts. The eldest sister still thinks about learning from the woman who dresses as a man in the future, and will she be able to seal a female general with a gun? ”

"I don't want any female general!" Li Wanyu said angrily: "It's you, even if you can't be a general, you can be a general's wife!" If you want me to say, you should learn some kung fu. ”

Li Wanyan's face sank suddenly. Xie Qingshu asked cautiously: "Second cousin, is there anything wrong with the little son of the Zhou family?" Although we are young, we don't know much about adult things, so we can't say that we can help somewhat. ”

Li Wanyan was silent for a while, and Fang said: "My mother heard that the little son of the Zhou family is not in good health, and he hasn't appeared outside for more than half a year. These days, the Zhou family is urging marriage every day. I can't say it, I want to be happy! ”

Xie Qingshu was shocked: "There is such a thing? Is the news true? ”

Li Wanyan shook her head and said, "I don't know. ”

Li Wanyu said: "I have seen the little son of the Zhou family before, and he doesn't look like he is sick and weak. In my opinion, this matter is eighty percent based on false rumors! ”

Li Wanyan wondered: "When has the eldest sister seen him?" ”

Li Wanyu said: "It was about half a year ago! At that time, I had not yet come to the imperial capital. ”

Li Wanyan frowned and said casually: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck." Who can say for sure this kind of thing! ”

At this time, Qing Shuge arrived. The wind sent the fragrance from afar, and as soon as everyone looked up, they saw a piece of pear blossom snow fluttering.
