Chunzhou post station is the last post station before entering Beijing, since it is specially set up for the officials and their families who go to Beijing to report on their work, it covers a lot of natural area, and there are several courtyards of different sizes.

Maybe Fang's family likes to be quiet, the courtyard where she lives is a relatively secluded small courtyard of the post station, although it is relatively secluded, the scenery is quite elegant.

Looking at the courtyard in front of her, Situ Jiao remembered her cousin who was the best for her in her previous life, she was a lady who was both hearty and sensual, although she grew up in the southern border pass, compared to the so-called family ladies in the capital, I don't know how many times stronger.

It's just that her life is not good, she married a non-human, and finally died at a young age due to dystocia.

Her husband has a room full of swallows and warblers, and there is anything wrong with her death, but she knows how much it has to do with those swallows and warblers.

I hope that my cousin in this life can stay away from that scumbag and seek happiness for a lifetime.

At this time, the Fang family had already taken their daughter Han Xiuya to wait in the courtyard, and it was obvious that the Fang family also attached great importance to the Chen family's visit.

Although the Chen family and the Fang family have not seen each other for more than ten or twenty years, they have corresponded with each other from time to time, so they are still the same at this time.

Seeing Fang Shi coming out of the courtyard, Chen took two quick steps to hold Fang's hand, looked at Fang's side and praised: "Why did the eldest sister-in-law come out, we haven't seen each other for almost twenty years, and the eldest sister-in-law is still so beautiful, it's really gratifying!" This should be my eldest niece Xiuya, a child of Zhong Lingyuxiu, it hurts to look at it! ”

Han Xiuya is fifteen years old, and she will be in two months, which is the age of flowers and bones, and when she was praised by Chen, she immediately blushed, and her small face with a big palm looked even more delicate and beautiful.

However, Han Xiuya was born in the General's Mansion, and although she was a little shy, she still bowed generously to the Chen family.

"Look at you, you're about to praise Xiuya. You're still a clever mouth! I haven't seen each other for almost 20 years, and now that our children have grown up, we are all old! Fang Shi looked at Han Xiuya with pampering and satisfied eyes, and then sighed with emotion.

When Fang's gaze fell on Situ Jiao, who was trembling with excitement all over his body, who was following Chen's side, a trace of doubt couldn't help but flash on his face: "Hey, who is this?" If memory serves, you only have two sons, this one? Could it be the prince of the world?"

Before the Fang clan could finish speaking, he saw Situ Jiao take a step forward, squatted down at the Fang clan and made a blessing salute, and called out in a choked voice: "Uncle!" ”

Auntie?!

General Han has two daughters, in addition to Han Minhua, who is married to Situ Kong, there is also an eldest daughter Han Shuhua, who is a few years older than his eldest son Han Jiezhi.

Han Shuhua is not in the capital, her husband is a local prefect, and Han Minhua only gave birth to three sons and no daughters.

But looking at the girl in front of her, she is only eleven or twelve years old, and she does look a little similar to the Han sisters.

Since the eldest aunt and grandmother Han Shuhua are excluded, there is only the younger aunt Han Minhua.

Han Minhua did give birth to a daughter twelve years ago, but that girl was sent out of the Hou Mansion as soon as she was born.

Could this be the daughter of my aunt and grandmother who was sent out of the Hou Mansion as soon as she was born?

Fang Shi cast his shocked gaze on Chen, Chen smiled and nodded, Fang Shi woke up like a dream, looked Situ Jiao up and down, and also said in a choked voice: "No wonder I look at it and feel good, it turns out to be Jiaojiao!" ”

"Situ Jiao has seen the eldest aunt, please say hello to the eldest aunt!" Situ Jiao gave Fang a blessing again, the reddish circles under her eyes made Fang even more sad, and she reached out to help Situ Jiao and hugged her in her arms.

"Yes, Jiaojiao is six or seven points similar to Minhua, especially these eyes, which are the same as Minhua." Chen stretched out his hand and patted the excited Fang, who was extremely excited.

Han Xiuya had also heard her own mother mention this cousin, although she had never met, she had long felt pity for this cousin in her heart.

Although she was born in the southern border pass, there are still some wars with Yunluo from time to time, and the living environment is not peaceful, but she has a mother, father and brother who love her in her life, she grew up in an environment surrounded by family affection, and naturally has more love for her cousin who was sent out of the house at birth and has never enjoyed family affection.

Seeing her mother hugging her cousin's heart and hurting her heart, Han Xiuya's heart was not jealous, but hoped that her little cousin could get more love.

Seeing that the Fang clan finally let go of Situ Jiao, Han Xiuya stepped forward, took Situ Jiao's soft little hand, looked Situ Jiao up and down, and then sighed: "Cousin is too thin!" If I hadn't heard my father and mother say that my cousin had just passed the twelfth birthday a few days ago, just looking at my cousin's appearance, I wouldn't have seen that my cousin was already twelve! ”

After speaking, he turned to look at Fang Shi and said, "Mother, can we take my cousin to the General's Mansion, so that my daughter can have a companion!" ”

"You kid!" A trace of embarrassment flashed on Fang's face, but he didn't directly object, which made Chen suddenly feel a little confident in his heart, feeling that he shouldn't go home empty-handed today.

"Ya'er, don't worry, I'm here today to discuss this matter with your mother. You take Jiaojiao out for a walk first, and when I discuss a charter with your mother, maybe you will be able to make your wish come true. Chen is a hearty person who can't hide his words, and at this moment, he heard Han Xiuya's request, which was exactly what she wanted to do today, so she simply made her words clear.

Fang saw that Chen had something to say, so he asked Han Xiuya to take Situ Jiao to the house where she lived to take care of her, and Fang himself took Chen and his party into the small flower hall in this small courtyard.

When the two sides sat down in the flower hall, Yahuan served fragrant tea in turn, and Fang asked Situ Jiao's situation carefully, and naturally asked about Han's current situation.

Situ Jiao was not present this time, so naturally Li's mother came out to talk about it in detail, and occasionally Chen would take a couple of sentences.

Mother Li was originally a maid who followed the Han family from General Han's Mansion to marry to the Anning Hou Mansion, although she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, the Fang family still had some impressions of her.

"Are you saying that my aunt's premature birth may be a black hand by someone?" Fang's face was full of anger.

"I and Red Sleeves both had suspicions, but at that time, Madame's condition was very critical, and there was a mess in the room, and when Madame gave birth to Miss, the old lady directly ordered Master Hou to send Miss out of the house, otherwise she would drown.

However, because the young lady was born prematurely, she held it in the belly of the lady for a longer time when she gave birth, and the situation at that time was not good.

When the lady is settled, the red sleeves have his hands free, and then he goes to check the matter of the lady's premature birth, and there is no clue at all.

It was Hongling who was incompetent and failed to protect Mrs. and Miss. Mother Li described the events before and after Situ Jiao's birth in detail, and also raised her suspicions with Mama Lin.
