Entering the hall, everyone took their seats, Mrs. Ye asked the maid to add a seat beside her, let Ling'er sit in front of her, and the two aunts and a few girls dressed as young ladies sat down in turn.

Ling'er swept around and found that everyone was watching the old lady holding her hand, intentionally or unintentionally, with envy, jealousy, disdain and disdain in their eyes.

The old lady said: "Ling'er, these are your cousins, come, Zhilan, Zhihuan, Zhiyu, why don't you come over and give Ling'er a salute." ”

Several girls stood up and lined up in front of Ling'er, and Qi Qifu saluted: "I've seen Ling'er's cousin (sister)!" ”

Ling'er hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "Ling'er has seen several sisters and sisters. ”

The young lady in the middle smiled and stretched out her hand to help her: "Sister Ling'er, my name is Zhiyu, and my father is your second uncle; This is Sister Zhilan, who is a few days older than me, so you also call Sister Zhilan; This is Sister Zhihuan, who is thirteen years old this year, and we will be sisters in the future, and we can play together from time to time. ”

Ling'er looked left and right, and saw that Na Zhilan was the girl who had just looked at her aunt, this girl looked quite good, with a standard goose egg face, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a white skirt and a pink satin vest with white fox fur edges, which made her already fair skin tender and tender, quite eye-catching.

Seeing Ling'er staring at her, Zhilan glanced at Ling'er with some displeasure, the contempt and disgust in her eyes were undisguised, and Old Lady Ye was talking to the two aunts and didn't notice this scene.

Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking to herself that I didn't seem to have provoked you, right? You are beautiful, I don't envy, I am not jealous, and I am not greedy, why are you so virtuous? Can you have a convulsion? Forget it, ignore her, I'm just here anyway, and I'm going home when I'm upset.

The one on the right, Zhi Huan, is thin and small. After seeing the ceremony, she lowered her head and didn't speak, feeling that Ling'er looked at her, she secretly glanced at her, and immediately lowered her head with a blush, looking at a loss.

And although Zhilan is mediocre, she always smiles, generous and kind. It's comfortable to look at.

Then. A young beautiful woman came over and said with a smile: "Cousin Ling'er, I am Zhilan's sister-in-law. It's your eldest cousin, and you will have time to walk around more in the future. ”

Ling'er hurriedly saluted, and nodded in response, and the old lady said, "Sit down when you know each other!" Ling'er. Your eldest uncle's family also has two cousins, and your second uncle's family has a cousin. They all live in the outer courtyard, and I will call your two uncles and cousins at supper to meet you. ”

"Mother, don't wait for the night. I'm already here. A tall middle-aged man walked in with a smile, and the eldest aunt and Zhilan immediately stood up to greet him:

"Oh, sir. How did you get back? ”

"Daddy, you're back?" Zhilan leaned over and leaned coquettishly on the comer.

The old lady smiled and said, "It's just in time." Ling'er, hurry up and give your uncle a salute. ”

Ling'er just sat down, and quickly stood up to salute herself, the eldest uncle helped her up with his own hands, and looked up and down again, the originally smiling face gradually became a little sad: "Alas, the third sister's daughters have grown so big, if the third sister is still ......"

The living room was silent, the old lady's face was also very ugly, and the eldest aunt said: "Master, look at you, what are you talking about on the big day?" What's more, isn't Ling'er back? ”

The eldest uncle sighed lightly: "Alas, too, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

The eldest uncle sat down with the eldest aunt, turned his head and asked the eldest aunt, "Madam, can Ling'er's residence be arranged?" ”

The eldest aunt smiled and said, "Don't worry, master, it has been arranged a long time ago." ”

The eldest uncle thought for a while: "Now that the third sister's child has finally been recovered, when will I take the time to take this child to his mother to put incense, if the third sister sees this child growing so well and so well-behaved, she will be very pleased, right?" ”

The old lady was a little stunned: "Alas, yes, Yan'er hasn't been there for many years, and it's almost deserted, right?" First, send a few people to sweep the tomb and take care of it, and pick a good day, and the old woman will take this girl to go in person. ”

The eldest aunt nodded: "Yes, it's all because the daughter-in-law is negligent, and the daughter-in-law will arrange it." ”

"Okay, Ling'er has been on the road for a few days and is tired, let her rest first, and come over for dinner later!"

Everyone dispersed one after another, and the living room was suddenly clean, the old lady touched Ling'er's head pityingly, and then looked at the third and tenth sisters behind her, she frowned slightly: "Girl, you only brought these two maids?" ”

"No, grandma, this is the tenth sister, my own sister; This is the third sister, oh, her surname is Lin, her name is the third sister, in fact, she is not completely a maid. Didn't you see them last time you went to my house? ”

"Oh? Is it? Look at my memory. ”

The third sister said: "Ancestor, Miss promised to help me find my father, and I will be a maid for Miss." ”

The old lady smiled awkwardly, probably because the image of the third sister is really not very good, even if it is much better now than before, but if it is placed in a big family, this appearance is afraid that it will not be good to be a rough maid.

The old lady thought for a while, "Chunqiao, come here." ”

Chunqiao stepped forward and saluted: "Ancestor, please command." ”

"You have been with me for some years, I can't wronged you when I'm old, now I'll find you a righteous master, and in the future, you will follow Ling'er, so that you can live and serve, and you can't be the slightest slack, you know?"

Chun Qiao was stunned for a moment, looking at the old lady's eyes a little reluctant, she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, then walked to Ling'er's side and whispered Miss Sheng.

Ling'er hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, grandma, how can I take away your love as soon as I come, it's enough for me to have a third sister, Chunqiao still serves you!" ”

The old lady took Ling'er's hand: "Silly girl, this is grandma's intention, Chunqiao, this girl has been with me since she was a child, she is thoughtful and smart, your aunt and I may not be able to ask for it a few times, I just want to leave it to you." You're about to get married, so you'll take Chunqiao with you in the future, and when you get to your in-law's house, you have to have a dowry girl who can get on the table! ”

Then she turned her head to Chunqiao and said: "Chunqiao, you go and pick two more little girls in my yard, wherever Ling'er goes in the future, you will follow you, if my Ling'er misses a little, I can't spare you know?" ”

Chun Qiao responded and bowed and retreated, Ling'er was really moved in her heart, she didn't expect that this grandmother was really good to herself, and she gave her personal maid to herself as soon as she came.

Actually, Ling'er has always liked Chunqiao, don't look at her age, she is orderly, she has the rules she should have, and she has a lot of talents......

Ling'er couldn't help but think of Wen Xuan's gentle smile in her mind, her body trembled, and she secretly scolded herself in her heart for being unproductive. The old lady saw that her cheeks were red, and she said with concern, "What's the matter?" Ling'er, what's uncomfortable? (To be continued)
