Qi Niang knelt on the hard and cold marble floor, her back was wet, she was tightly held in her arms, the old man's thin arms were extremely hard at the moment, and there was a rare warmth in her arms. There was a commotion around her, Qi Niang didn't hear anything clearly, but she really felt the light trembling of the old man's whole body, and she couldn't stop trembling.

Her heart was sour, she quietly hugged the old man tightly, and said "grandmother", and her eyes were wet......

In the big room in the inner courtyard, it was bustling with people, and at the innermost, the old lady of the Wang family took the hand of the lady of the Su family and sat on the left side, and the Duchess was invited to sit on the right side. Wang Yi, the old man of the Wang family, and the old ladies and ladies of each room and courtyard saluted respectfully.

Old Madam Su smiled and hurriedly said, please.

Only then did Qi Niang really feel the weight of her grandmother's position as the Duchess of the First Rank Country. Let's talk about the Wang family, Master Wang Yi is ranked on the left side of the first grade, Mrs. Wang is a first-grade royal gift, Mrs. Wang is a second-class lady, and there are other sons from the fifth grade and the sixth grade, but if you talk about the high and low, the grandmother is even better than the grandmother.

Because, grandmother still has a royal title!

The royal family's courtesy, of course, grandmother can afford it.

When it was Qi Niang's turn, her grandmother introduced her with tears in her eyes, "This is your eldest uncle, and now he is also a prime minister, and your eldest aunt Wen has a good temperament." "Your second uncle is staying in the Ministry of Rites, the second aunt Cai helps take care of the chores in the house, the third uncle is a parent official outside, and your third uncle and aunt took Brother Li and Sister Si'er to go last year, but unfortunately I can't see you."

Cai Shijiao next to her smiled and said, "Mother, next month will be our sister Zhen and Lu." Maybe the third brother and sister are on their way back now, why can't Qi Niang see each other? ”

Old Madam Wang laughed, "Yes, your third aunt must be rushing back, you hurry up and bring a letter to your third brother, Qi Niang is back, and he will come too." ”

Mrs. Wang instructed Mr. Wang to say.

Qi Niang was uneasy, although she didn't know where the third uncle took office, but the ceremony would be next month, but the third aunt would leave now. It must be a long way away. Just to see her niece rush back, it's a little unreasonable.

She said: "Grandmother, the third uncle is a parent official, how can Qi Niang afford to rush back like this." Qi Niang thought about waiting to personally send a letter to the third uncle to greet her. What do you think? ”

Mrs. Wang has not yet answered. Wang Yi nodded approvingly.

"It's fine. Your third uncle is still far away in Bac Ninh, so let him come back and bring you delicious food during the New Year's Festival. Old Madam Wang patted Qi Niang's hand and said.

Then, the old man introduced the cousins of the Wang family one by one.

Wang Yan, the eldest son of the young and old. The second son Wang Chen with an excited face, the third son Wang Jin who is introverted and silent, the fifth son Wang Yu who has a milky voice, and the sixth son Wang Qian who is still in infancy.

followed by the slippery sisters, the dignified and delicate lady Wang Rui, the pretty and arrogant second lady Wang Liu, and the chubby and cute fourth lady Wang Xiang. Wang Li, the fourth son of the third uncle, and Wang Si, the third lady, were not there.

Qi Niang saw the ceremony one by one, but her head was "gurgling" and cooking porridge in a mess.

Forgive her, face blindness is guilty......

But what impressed me was the eldest son and the second son, for the same reason, Wang Yan and Wang Chen really looked too similar, and she couldn't help but look at it twice.

The sharp-eyed second aunt Cai hurriedly added, "Our brother Yan and Brother Chen are twins, and the two brothers look so similar." ”

I see, then she can't be blamed for being face blind, Qi Niang muttered to herself.

Mrs. Wang also followed: "Both of them are from your eldest uncle's family, one has been steady and the other has jumped since childhood, one is Aiwen, and the other is practicing martial arts, and it is easy to distinguish between them if they have more contact."

"Cousin, I'm the second cousin of Xuewu."

As soon as the old lady's voice fell, the crisp words came in, and Qi Niang couldn't help but look over.

With happy eyebrows, extraordinarily bright eyes, and a sincere smile, the two big tiger teeth at the corners of the mouth can be seen at a glance.

Although they are siblings, they are still quite good.

Qi Niang smiled and nodded.

Wang Yi sank his face and bluffed: "What kind of system is reckless?" He saluted in front of him and said, "I bumped into the Duchess of the Kingdom, and I was not well disciplined."

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became cold.

Wang Chen was even more embarrassed, he blushed, but he didn't know how to ask for guilt.

Wang Yan, who was beside him, laughed shamefully, and immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "The second brother is reckless, and I hope that the Duchess and cousin will forgive me."

Qi Niang couldn't help frowning when she heard this, this eldest cousin was too stable, she looked at her second cousin Wang Chen, who was blushing and bowing her head, and looked back at her grandmother on the opposite side.

Old Madam Su smiled with her eyebrows, waved her hand and said: "The old man of the Wang family is too worried, since it is a family, how can it be said that the old man is straightforward and fast-talking, he is a good and honest child, and he is very similar to the temperament of our family."

Qi Niang hurriedly followed: "Uncle I don't know, I am also so quick to talk on weekdays, if I collide in the future, please ask my uncles and aunts to mention more."

Old Madam Wang sank her face, "It's good for you to do this, grandmother likes it, don't care about them." ”

Cai's snort, "The second aunt also likes it, why do you need to mention it?" ”

So, everyone, you and me, the scene became lively again, that is, Master Wang Yi also regained his kindness, Wang Yan retreated silently, but separated from Wang Chen without a trace.

Wen has been standing quietly on the side, his eyebrows and eyes full of joy. Seeing that Mrs. Wang picked up the tea cup, she said softly: "Mother, now that the Duchess and Qi Niang are here, do you want the people to clean up the rose garden?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, the mood of drinking tea to moisten her throat was gone, but before she could speak, Cai Shi on the other side spoke, "Sister-in-law is right, the Duchess of the country came from afar, and she must cultivate in our palace, the rose garden is good, but I am afraid that it is far away, and it is next to the outer wall, it is better at night, and there are some sounds during the day, the daughter-in-law thinks that the lily garden in the east is good, the garden is big, and it is next to the Mandarin Duck Lake in the house, and it is even cooler in the summer, what does my mother think?" ”

Qi Niang jumped at the end of her eyebrows when she heard this, and inadvertently glanced at her eldest aunt Wen, only to see that she was still smiling gently and gently, without the slightest displeasure.

It seems that the temperament is really good.

On the other side, Cai's was also smiling, but a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of Danfeng, who was coated with cream.

Mrs. Wang didn't pay attention to these, she was afraid that she was used to it, she put down the teacup and turned to the Duchess and said: "The rose garden is the largest, but it is farther away, and the lily garden is smaller, but it is next to the lake. She was not worried and added, "There is still an empty orchid garden in the house, a bamboo square left in the north, and a sedan chair in the inner courtyard. ”

In other words, the courtyard of the palace was chosen by them.

Qi Niang's heart tightened, it seemed that the palace was planning to keep their ancestors and grandchildren.

Old Madam Su thanked her, and took a sip of fragrant tea before saying: "Today, Lao Sheng and Qi Niang came in a hurry, so I thought of bringing her to kowtow to my in-laws' wife, and now Old Emperor Mu is still sick, I'm afraid I can't stay."

Qi Niang continued: "My grandmother's kindness Qi Niang can only understand it, and before coming out, I promised the emperor that I would go back to give him an acupuncture at the old man's house, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany my grandmother."

At this moment, everyone in the main hall looked over. Old Madam Wang grabbed Qi Niang's hand even more, and asked hurriedly: "Do you have to rush back to Ziyun Mountain Stream at three o'clock?" So when did you leave today? Breakfast available? ”

"I went down the mountain at the end of the day, and when I got to the gate of the city, I still reported my grandmother's name before I entered the city in advance, and Qi Niang didn't dare to delay the hour, so I took the liberty of disturbing my grandmother and my aunts and uncles." Qi Niang lowered her head apologetically, and continued: "I'm in a hurry to go out, and I still want to go to my grandmother's place to ask for breakfast!"

"Oops!" Cai's hurriedly stepped forward and took Qi Niang's hand, "Why is this kid so sincere, he is hungry after such a long journey, which makes your second aunt feel distressed." ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes were even more red, and she choked up: "Silly child, it's not okay to ask your grandmother for peace one day, but I'm so tired of myself." She said to the old lady of the Su family on the opposite side: "It also causes your grandmother to suffer with you, so how can your grandmother feel at ease!"

Wen stood up, "Qi Niang is also a piece of filial piety, very similar to Yulin's sister, mother don't talk about her." It's just that I don't know what the Duchess likes, so the daughter-in-law went to arrange breakfast. ”

Cai's paused, and hurriedly said: "Exactly, look at the second aunt's distress and forget the business." She stepped forward to salute Mrs. Su and said: "Does the Duchess like desserts or prefer bean juice, there are red bean paste lotus seed porridge in the house, lily white fungus mung bean porridge, black rice wolfberry and red date porridge, as well as the milk stewed snow swallow rewarded by the mother, seven abalone juice, lighter Sydney white fungus soup, old duck and jade bamboo soup, dim sum with ten mixed tofu cakes, egg custard five-flower rolls, peach blossom liyuan cakes, do you need to add some more?"

After counting the same thing, Qi Niang's head was bigger, and her grandmother opened her mouth: "The in-laws arranged it very well, but these days the nine girls of the Mu family are always talking about the crispy spiced potatoes in the imperial capital, Qi Niang has always wanted to taste them, I don't know if your mansion has them?"

"Yes, yes." Cai Shi nodded hurriedly, and looked at Su Muli's gaze more and more eagerly, "Then the daughter-in-law will go and prepare." ”

Mrs. Wang bowed her head and said to her eldest daughter-in-law, Wen, "Take Brother Chen to take some wood fruits from my yard, so that Mrs. Guo and Qi Niang can also taste them."

Wen nodded and said, "Yes", and went out with Cai one after another.

"It's so good, it's so good to finally be able to taste my grandmother's precious wood fruit!" The four ladies standing below clapped their hands happily, and Wang Yu, the nipple doll next to her, also shouted: "It's delicious, the wooden fruit is delicious."

Qi Niang became curious, "Grandmother, what is a wood fruit?" (To be continued......)
