As soon as her voice fell, Xie Ning couldn't help but laugh and said, "When my father and Uncle Pei talked about the customs of Beijing before, you girl must not have listened attentively. ”

"How does Miss know?"

"The hall in the center is the place of hospitality, but this room is on the very edge, and it is rude to serve guests."

Gu Sui didn't seem to understand, and there was a glint of almost adoration in his eyes when he looked at Shain, "What Miss said is true. Alas, I don't know what I'm up to, and I get distracted when they talk about it. ”

Seeing that she was in a low mood, Xie Ning patted her on the shoulder and comforted her heroically: "It's okay, isn't there still your Miss I'm here." ”

"Hey, hey." Gu Sui put aside the depression in his heart, scratched his head and smiled, and urged: "Miss, what do you guess?" ”

"Have you ever seen where you live?"

"Huh... Is this room for me?"

Before Gu Sui's words fell, he ran in excitedly.

Seeing that she was so excited, Xie Ning shook his head and smiled, and followed into the house.

The house is separated by a screen, with a pantry on the outside and a living room on the inside.

Bypassing the screen, I saw a wide couch large enough to accommodate four or five people in front of me.

"Miss, pinch me. I felt like I was dreaming. ”

Xie Ning reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's all true." ”

"Haha, hahaha......"

After placing the luggage they brought, the two of them still didn't slow down the excitement, and looked at them one by one, tossing until the end of the day, and then finally stopped, and went back to sleep in each room.

Early the next morning, Xie Ning followed her uncle Hou, who came to pick her up, to meet the old lady of the Marquis Mansion in Jingyang, that is, her grandmother.

The old lady Liu's residence is Heling Courtyard, although Xie Ning has no knowledge in his stomach, he also knows that the name has a very good meaning. As soon as I thought about it, I thought of my small courtyard, and made up my mind to go back and discuss with Gu Sui, and I also wanted to give a good name to the place where the two of them lived.

Thinking wildly along the way, when he raised his head again, Xie Ning only felt that his eyes suddenly opened up. It turned out that before they knew it, they had entered the Crane Ling Hospital.

Looking up, the courtyard was empty, and only a few trees were planted in the four corners, which formed a sharp contrast with the flowery scenery that Xie Ning saw in the Jade Courtyard yesterday, which made Xie Ning have a lot of good feelings.

Of course, after meeting his grandmother Liu, Xie Ning's good impression of her was even stronger.

The silver-haired old woman sitting on the Fushou couch was kind and kind, squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Xie Ning, and put her hands on the crook of Xie Ning's arms, "Come, Ning'er, let grandmother take a good look at you." Oops, you've grown so big in a flash, you really look like your mother. ”

The middle-aged beauty standing next to Liu covered her mouth and laughed, and said angrily: "Mother, why did you forget about us when you saw your likable granddaughter, and your sister-in-law and a few children are still waiting outside." ”

"Your mouth, even my mother has made it up. Okay, let's get them in. ”

As soon as Liu's voice fell, the maid in the house opened the curtain, and then several figures came one after another.

At the forefront was Xiang's, followed by two young girls who came side by side, not much older than Xie Ning, but the pie was very big, and there were three or four maids behind them.

A little distance away, there was a little girl who came alone, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly immature, and she should be about ten years old.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law has asked you for peace." Xiang's gaze fell on Xie Ning as soon as he entered the room, and even the facial expression when he asked for peace at this moment revealed a little resentment, and Xie Ning shook his head secretly.

"You're just in time, wait a minute, just hand over the key to the treasury to the second daughter-in-law."

"Daughter-in-law understood."

Xiang Shi replied on his face, but secretly shook Xie Ning with an eye knife. The two of them had already formed a grudge, and Xie Ning didn't care about this anger, raised his head to meet the gaze of the Xiang clan, and did not flinch.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother."

The three young ladies in the Hou Mansion came closer, and at the same time bent down and saluted, and greeted the Liu family.

"Hurry up. How many times has Grandmother told you that you don't have to come and say hello. You are just disobedient. ”

Xie Ning, who was standing beside Liu, could see it clearly, although her words were disgusted, her eyes unconsciously showed a touch of pity, which made Xie Ning couldn't help but be moved.

She lost her mother when she was young, and her father was often in the barracks, and only one ear of grain accompanied her. Her grandmother, Liu, reminded her of her mother. That kind of silent warm care made her can't help but want to get closer.

"Grandmother is considerate, but we can't waste the etiquette because of this." The eldest of the three said with a tense face.

"Okay, it's rare to take a break today. You come to say hello, and my grandmother is happy in my heart. Come, Ning'er, come and meet your cousin. ”

Xie Ning walked over obediently, only to hear He Shi smile and say, "This is your cousin Yiyao, and her age should not be much different from you." ”

"Cousin Yiyao."

"Hmm."

The other party nodded coldly, and then turned his gaze away.

"Yi Yao was born in the third year of the calendar. Ning'er is in the fourth year of the calendar, and she is thirteen years old this year. ”

Unexpectedly, Uncle Hou still remembered his birthday, Xie Ning smiled at him and happily responded, "Yes!" ”

"Haha, this is my uncle's youngest daughter. Yiyan, don't hurry up and say hello to your cousin. ”

"Hello cousin." The little girl whose name was called pouted and reluctantly opened her mouth to Shainin.

Xie Ning smiled on his face, "Cousin Yiyan." ”

Regardless of the attitude of others, she always had to remember that she was just a guest of the Hou Mansion. I will not be arrogant because of the care and love of my grandmother and uncle, nor will I feel inferior because of the cold treatment of others.

Of course, when she is bullied, she will not choose to swallow her anger.

"Cousin Xie, I'm Cousin Jing."

The little girl who fell at the end let out an inaudible murmur. Fortunately, Shainin's ears are good, if he changes others, he will definitely miss it.

"Cousin Jing."

Gao Jing raised her head suddenly, and what caught her eye was Xie Ning's big smiling face. I don't know what I thought, two blushes rose on my face, and I nodded almost invisibly, without making a sound.

The crowd seemed to be accustomed to her actions and did not care. Only He Shi explained to Xie Ning, "Our family Gao Jing is timid, and she can't say a few words a day, all of which are taught by her aunt who is not angry, don't be surprised by my cousin." ”

"No, it won't." Xie Ning nodded at He Shi, but felt a little pitiful for Gao Jing in his heart. She knew what her aunt was, and she also understood the identity of Gao Jing's concubine. But seeing that this room full of people didn't take her seriously, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

are all young ladies in the Hou Mansion, what Gao Yiyao and Gao Yiyan are wearing, and what Gao Jing is wearing. How generous and easy the two of them are, and how cautious Gao Jing is in her words and deeds, cowering.
