Although the winter in Lingnan is not as cold as the imperial city, the wind is raging, and the arrogance of the heavy snow is all over the sky, but there is the damp and cold that constantly drills into the bones, which makes Yan Xiaoyue extremely uncomfortable. In the sparse freezing rain, Yan Xiaoyue and Yang Xiao'er nested in Yan Xiaoyue's low-key luxury carriage with Huanghuali eating snacks and drinking Qianye ancient tea, which was also comfortable.

This ancient tea is packed in a box like a withered leaf, but as soon as it is brewed, the rich fragrance of tea spreads, which directly attracted Yang Mocheng, who was sitting in the carriage in front, to come over and inquire in person, and Xiaoyue gave him a small box, about two taels or so. It's not that Yan Xiaoyue is stingy, it's just that although the ancient tea branches have come to life in the space, the yield is very small, and only half a tael is obtained every ten days. She has only saved four taels so far, and she has to drink a glass every day, and she doesn't have much left.

Slow all the way, until the twenty-ninth hour of the carriage stopped at the door of the Xiao family's ancestral house in Lijiang Town, because Yang Mocheng was the assassin of the four products, so the gate of the Xiao Mansion opened, Xiaoxiao's three uncles all came out to welcome Yang Mocheng's carriage in.

Of course, Yan Xiaoyue's carriage still went through the side door, got out of the carriage and was helped by an old mother to get on the warm sedan chair. After walking for half an hour, he stopped at Rong'an Hall, and Xiao Yue followed Xiaoxiao to act together, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

After entering the door, he bowed his head to Mrs. Yang who was leaning on the couch and saluted Wan'an, and said loudly: "Ancestor Wanfu Jin'an."

The old lady called out affectionately, "This is the righteous daughter Yan Xiaoyue who acknowledges it silently, quickly raise your head and let your grandmother take a look." Yan Xiaoyue slowly raised her head, only to see that the old lady was slightly blessed, her hair was black and she was wearing a brown forehead, and her single phoenix eyes were full of strong looks, and she said a little exaggerated after seeing Xiaoyue: "Yo, look at this little face, how many years has the old body not seen such a good look?" It's not like we're comparing our little ladies. Come, come, this bracelet is still the dowry I brought with me when I was young, and now it matches your color just right. ”

As he spoke, he took a red gold hanging bell bracelet from the desk and put it on Yan Xiaoyue's left hand in person, and saw that the jade bracelet Xiao Yue was wearing was obviously stunned for a moment, and then let go of his hand casually, but Xiao Yue obviously felt that Mrs. Xiao was distracted for a while.

Yan Xiaoyue presented a purple satin forehead embroidered with crimson peonies made by herself, "Grandmother, this is made by her granddaughter herself, and her little heart is not respectful." ”

The old lady took a cursory look and praised lightly: "This embroidery is good, my grandmother likes it." ”

Then I met three aunts, and the eldest aunt gave me a golden hairpin, which was old in style and dull in color. The brand-new silver skein bracelet given by the second aunt is not big but very delicate, Yan Xiaoyue's wrists are slender and her skin is white, and she can always bring out a bit of luxury with delicate objects. The first flower directly sent by the third aunt, when she took it out, Mrs. Xiao's face darkened, and the eldest lady took a breath, but the second lady was silent, staring at Xiaoyue with a smile. Xiao Yue still took it with a smile, thanked her softly, and then handed it to Jin Hui to put it on, and also gave back a pair of embroidered shoes.

"After a day in the carriage, I think you are tired too, sisters, let's see you later. Mama An, take the ladies to Ziwei Pavilion to rest. Then he took Yang Xiao'er in his arms, "Xiao'er, the heart and liver of the ancestors, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my grandmother has made up for you in the past few days, and I will definitely raise you for nothing." ”

"The old ancestor is eccentric, we haven't seen each other for several years, and we haven't seen the old ancestor come to ask if they are all thin, and we have never heard that you want to make up for us!" The second lady laughed on the side.

The old lady smiled and said: "As far as you can say, you are still jealous with a junior, which shows that you are not ashamed." Haha" It can be seen that these two ladies are quite popular with the old lady.

"My grandmother cherishes her granddaughter, and my granddaughter is grateful, but although she is not fat, she has grown better, and she can't wear last year's clothes!" After Xiaoxiao finished smiling, she said goodbye with Xiaoyue and returned to Ziwei Pavilion.

Ziwei Pavilion is a quarter of an hour's distance from Rong'an Hall, in the middle of the road when it comes. It is a two-story attic, with two wings of the living room at the bottom, and two wings with inner rooms upstairs, Xiaoyue lives in the east room, Xiaoxiao lives in the west room, and the maids live downstairs except for the vigil. Back in the inner room, Satsuki took a hot bath before she got up.

Although the silk fabrics of this dynasty are extremely developed, Yan Xiaoyue still likes to wear muslin underwear, especially in winter, wearing silk is too smooth to fit the body, Xiaoyue only uses it as pajamas, and the underwear in winter is designed by herself Tight cotton pants. Wearing a white Confucian shirt with a collar, cotton clothes and cotton pants, a one-piece Confucian skirt with pink makeup and satin, a satin sheepskin boots of the same color, a purple belt embroidered with peony flowers at the waist, a waist rope hanging down from the right hip bone, a jade ring butterfly pressure skirt, and finally a white rabbit fur cape.

When she went out, Xiaoxiao was also about to come over, with a bright yellow plain brocade one-piece dress, a green embroidered orchid belt, a jade pressure skirt, and a yellow shawl, the whole thing was the orthodox dress of a beautiful lady. Jin Xiu was followed by a purple shawl, and the two dressed up and went to Rong'an Hall together.

When I arrived at Rong'an Hall, there were many people inside, Mrs. Xiao was squinting and leaning on the couch, and a woman in yellow was sitting on a pestle, beating Mrs. Xiao's legs. The rest of the girls stood in twos and threes talking and laughing quietly, and when they saw Xiaoxiao and them coming in, they all quieted down and looked at the two of them, and for a while Yan Xiaoyue felt that she was about to be strangled by the envious and jealous eyes of these girls.

stepped forward to greet Mrs. Xiao, the old lady got up, took Yan Xiaoyue's hand and said affectionately: "The more you look at the moon girl, the better it looks, it really makes people can't take their eyes off." He turned his head to Xiaoxiao and said, "Look at how well your sister Yue can dress up, you haven't learned anything from staying with her for so long, look at your clothes are still from last year, right?" Don't forget about you when your father has a new daughter. Huh"

Xiaoxiao said coquettishly: "Look at what my grandmother said, you don't know me yet, I love these colors, and I'm not comfortable wearing anything else." This dress was given to me by Xiaoyue, and it was made by the embroidery lady of the Jinxiu Building in the city, and this set cost ten taels. We delayed it just to wait for the clothes. ”

The old lady changed her words, "After you said this, I see that the workmanship is really good, and it is really beautiful to wear, and our Xiaoxiao is also a beautiful embryo, just like your mother." This is why we have a good daughter in Jiangnan to raise you like this, look at it, the longer you grow, the more like your mother, in the future, you will live with your grandmother, looking at you, I feel that your mother is still with me, this heart can be stable. As he spoke, he pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief, and Xiaoxiao also had tears in her eyes.

Yan Xiaoyue hurriedly interrupted the old lady's emotional offensive, for fear that Yang Xiao'er would nod her head if she was hot-headed. "Ancestor, look at what you said, Xiaoxiao is your granddaughter, this flesh and blood can be separated by distance, and we live in Mengjin City, close to the town, and it is very convenient to come and go. If you leave Xiaoxiao here, then my father will not be my alone, Xiaoxiao, if my father is partial to me, you won't be jealous! As he spoke, he took Xiaoxiao's hand and squeezed it.
