The gate of this palace is similar to that of Zhou's, and there are two mighty lions squatting at the door. But the main entrance was not opened, and there were people entering and exiting the east and west corner doors.

There is a plaque above the main entrance, and the plaque has three big characters in the big book "General's Mansion".

I saw a group of sedan chairs coming out, followed by a group of mothers-in-law and maids.

From the back sedan chair, two women of about thirty years old with excellent temperament stepped forward to help the old lady who came out of the first sedan chair.

Zhou Xiaofu knew that this was his grandmother, and when she was about to visit, she was already hugged in her arms by her grandmother and cried.

The people who were waiting to stand at the moment all hid their faces and wept, and Zhou Xiaofu also shed tears when she saw this.

The old lady saw Zhou Xiaoyang standing on the side again, so she reached out and took Zhou Xiaoyang's hand and cried: "Brother Yang, do you recognize your grandmother." ”

Zhou Xiaoyang's eyes were also red at this time, and his mouth whimpered: "I know, my grandson knows my grandmother." ”

A group of women next to him were crying and wiping their tears, and a strong man in his fifties walked out and said in a thick voice: "What are you crying for, you women are in trouble, you have seen them all, what else is there to cry about." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaofu guessed that these eight achievements were her uneducated grandfather, and immediately stepped forward to meet Zhou Xiaoyang again.

The old man raised his hand and said, "Oh, don't use this vulgar etiquette, get up quickly, hey, my good granddaughter." ”

The corner of Zhou Xiaofu's eyes twitched, and she heard Lan's mother say that this grandfather Wang Zhen doesn't love his son and daughter, and he loves his granddaughter but doesn't love his grandson, but Zhou Xiaoyang is next to him, and he didn't even see it.

I saw two women with excellent temperament stepping forward to hold Zhou Xiaofu's hand.

Grandmother immediately opened her mouth and introduced them one by one, the one who was white and tall on the left was her eldest aunt Ai Shi, and the petite one on the right was her little aunt Wang Qingxue.

I saw a girl combing a flying bun, her hair was decorated with beaded flowers, wearing a green emerald cigarette shirt, standing there, looking at herself with her mouth covered and smiling, and she saw her grandmother smile and said, "This is your eldest cousin Errong." ”

Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaoyang hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The girl stepped forward with a smile and took Zhou Xiaofu's arm and said to the old lady, "Grandmother, you are planning to let everyone continue to chat at the door." ”

Everyone laughed, and they all went into the courtyard around the old lady.

The coachmen were driving the wagons and ox-carts to the back door.

Entering the hall, Zhou Xiaofu raised her eyes and looked at it, this hall is much larger than Zhou's mansion, and it is also much more luxuriously decorated, presumably because the military general's family doesn't care about other people's eyes, unlike civil officials who are afraid of the imperial history book.

Everyone sat down, the juniors sat on the chairs brought by the maid, and the elders sat on the main seat in front.

After sitting down, my grandmother asked someone to move Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaoyang's chairs to her own hands and let them sit down.

Then he said, "Come to meet your relatives, you two have never been to Jindu's rented house, and the relatives in this family can't recognize all of them, so you will recognize your relatives today." ”

After saying that, I saw the eldest aunt standing up and beckoning, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaoyang came over and saluted seriously, this aunt has slightly plump skin, a fit in the figure, cheeks are condensed, and the nose is greasy goose fat, which is amiable, and the eldest uncle is very much like a grandfather, but his body is full of murderous aura, and he has the momentum of a military general.

Wang Qingxuan and Ai Shi both nodded, and then Ai Shi took two purses from the maid next to him and handed them to Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaoyang respectively: "The first time I came, this is a little bit of my heart and that of your uncle." ”

Both of them happily put it away.

This Ai Shi stood up and led him to the second couple, this woman shaved shoulders and thin waist, long figure, duck egg face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, looking forward to Shenfei, Wencai essence, see the vulgar.

Ai Shi spoke: "This is your second uncle and second aunt. ”

Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaoyang saluted again, and the man's eyes couldn't help but turn red when he saw Zhou Xiaofu.

Zhou Xiaofu knew that this was the second uncle Wang Qingbiao, when Wang Qingyang was alive, the best relationship was with this second uncle, presumably seeing Zhou Xiaofu felt in her heart, and her eyes were red when she thought that her sister had died for many years.

This second aunt is a person with clear eyebrows and eyes, and immediately opened her mouth and said: "Sister Fu'er, look at your second uncle, when I saw you coming, I was stupid with joy." ”

As he spoke, Lan gently poked Wang Qingbiao's waist with his arm.

The second uncle immediately said with a relieved face: "Yes, I am happy." ”

Seeing that Lan also took out a purse and a box, and handed them to Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaoyang respectively, the two thanked them and continued to walk forward with Ai.

This time, this woman's Zhou Xiaofu knew that she had just recognized her at the door, this was her little aunt Wang Qingxue, and she saw a chubby little girl standing next to her and looked at her with curiosity.

Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaoyang also saluted and received gifts.

Finally, there are the most familiar five uncles and five aunts, these five aunts are very delicate, and their faces reveal a bookish atmosphere, but they are very compatible with the fifth uncle, and there is also a seven or eight-year-old girl next to her who has a small mouth.

After receiving the gift, I thanked it for a long time.

A mother-in-law came in here and walked up to the old Ai Shi and reported.

Ai Shi smiled and said to the old lady and the old man: "Mother, father, the family banquet is ready, let's start the banquet early today, these two children must be tired after a long journey." ”

Grandmother and grandfather both nodded, everyone got up, the old lady and the old man went back to the room first, and the uncle and aunt also went back first. Come back when you're settled.

And all the juniors didn't leave, and a few girls looked at Zhou Xiaofu curiously.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and asked the little girl who was standing in front of the fifth uncle just now: "You are Lehe, right?" ”

The little girl tilted her head and glared at her eyes and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "I already knew about you, I heard that you are the smartest little girl in the General's Mansion." ”

The little girl suddenly opened her eyebrows and smiled, "Who did you listen to?" ”

It's so easy to coax children.

The girl standing next to her sister-in-law also said curiously: "Cousin, do you know who I am?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu pretended to think and said, "En, I guess, oops, I know, you are the cutest sister of Haishan, right?" ”

The little girl immediately clapped her hands happily and said, "Oh, you guessed it." ”

A little girl came out from behind and pouted: "Stupid, I believe it, she must have inquired." ”

Zhou Xiaofu looked at it, this girl was only seven years old, and she pouted and looked unhappy.

I saw Wang Errong next to him open his mouth and said, "Peihan, why are you so rude, you don't bow when you see your cousin." ”

The girl opened her mouth and said, "What kind of cousin is she, I haven't seen her." ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and asked Cuihua to step forward.

Cuihua opens the burden around her.

Zhou Xiaofu first took out a beige Winnie Bear and handed it to Wang Lehe of the fifth uncle's family and said, "This is for the smartest Lehe"

The child hurriedly hugged him excitedly.

These are all dolls that Zhou Xiaofu found in the space on the first night of departure, which has to say that Zhou Xiaofu's boring personality next year, what to see and what to receive, there were seven or eight cloth dolls in the space, and after cutting the cloth label, I found a few small ones to take with me, and planned to give them to the junior's cousin.

After all, dolls are quite attractive to women, regardless of age.

Then he handed Ma Haishan a little monkey and said, "This is for the cutest Haishan sister."

The child couldn't wait for it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, and his happy eyes narrowed together.

Zhou Xiaofu deliberately glanced at the little girl who was not inferior just now and said, "Hey, this doll can only be given to smart, cute and polite children." “

This kid didn't have a bad heart, but when he saw that Zhou Xiaofu didn't take care of him at first, he was a little jealous before he spoke like that, and when he saw that the two cousins who were as old as him had gifts, he had to pout and say, "Cousin, I was wrong, Pei Han said hello to you." “

Only then did Zhou Xiaofu give Wang Peihan a teddy bear in the baggage with satisfaction.

This Wang Peihan immediately raised it happily and said to Wang Errong with a smile: "Auntie, in fact, the youngest is not bad, you see, there is such a good gift." “

Only then did Zhou Xiaofu understand why this child was unhappy, it turned out that he was the lowest senior, and he was very angry when he saw that everyone had to call someone, so he just opened his mouth like this.

Wang Errong on the side smiled and said: "Cousin, your doll is very cute, I've never seen it, this, what should I do, I also like it tightly, otherwise you can give me a reward." “

Zhou Xiaofu and the others laughed all of a sudden, Zhou Xiaofu took the baggage, and only two puppets remained, two of which were tiramisu rabbits of different colors.

Zhou Xiaofu opened her mouth and said: "One of these two rabbits is for the eldest cousin, and the other is for the little cousin of the second uncle's family, I didn't see her here today." “

Wang Errong took the rabbit childishly, hugged it happily and said, "Yirou has a cold, and she is not well, and she was detained by the second aunt to recuperate." “

Let the maids around you help send it first, this thing, girls like it, this Yirou will be good if she sees this rabbit and is afraid of the wind and cold.

After a few girls got the gifts, their feelings increased dramatically in an instant, and they couldn't talk happily.

Mother Lan on the side was very relieved to see this, originally she was worried that Zhou Xiaofu's brother and sister would not adapt to her grandfather's house, but she didn't expect to get along so happily with everyone.

After a while, the meal began, and the old lady and the old man came out, and everyone sat down.

The men sat at a large table, the women sat at a large table, and Zhou Xiaofu was called to sit down next to the old lady.

asked happily: "What, Sister Fu'er, as soon as you came, you coaxed your cousins to be happy like this, Peihan, this monkey, I know, it's the most difficult to coax, what kind of means do you use, let's talk about it, you can let everyone see it." “

All the ladies looked at Zhou Xiaofu with a smile.

Zhou Xiaofu said with a smile: "Grandmother, this is your granddaughter's woman, everyone loves her, and flowers bloom, how can it be a means." “

When everyone heard this, they laughed all at once.

The old lady laughed breathlessly and said, "You monkey, you still see flowers blooming, hey, you're really laughing at the old man." “

The eldest aunt who was sitting on the other side, Ai Shi, also covered her mouth and said: "Isn't it, this little mouth really knows how to say, flowers bloom, hehe." “

Wang Errong, who was sitting in the middle, said with a smile: "Grandmother, Sister Fu gave each of us a toy puppet, which is very delicate and cute, and it instantly captured the hearts of several of us, I have to like Sister Fu." “

"Oh? What a doll. The old lady wondered.

The maids of the sisters next to them handed the dolls to the aunts and uncles who were seated, and several women were also very happy when they saw it, and they all asked where they purchased it.

Zhou Xiaofu had no choice but to say that she bought it inadvertently in Tongzhou, it was a foreign product, and it was estimated that she would never be able to buy it again.

When a few young ones saw that their cousin said that they couldn't buy it, they stared nervously at their dolls, afraid that someone would ask for them.

Seeing this, the old lady laughed suddenly: "Put it away, although you like it, but you can't rob your juniors' things, look at you nervous." ”

The second aunt Lan covered her mouth and smiled, "Fortunately, Sister Fu'er is thoughtful, there is one for each junior, otherwise this would have to fight." ”

The crowd laughed.

The palace is not as demanding as the Zhou Mansion, and everyone talks and laughs at a meal, and they are relaxed and happy.

After eating, Zhou Xiaofu was settled in Yihuayuan and lived.
