Xia Jinghua looked very indifferent, as if her arrival had nothing to do with her. Xia Huaiyong was disdainful in his eyes, and he clearly looked down on himself. And Xia Yiyu, Xia Huaizhi's eyes were full of jealousy, thinking that it was because the old lady spoiled herself too much.

Xia Yarong's eyes were gentle and she always had a smile on her face, as if she was really happy to see herself, which was precious in this group of unfriendly eyes. As for Xia Huaiying, her eyes flickered, and she couldn't tell if it was resentment or what. Xia Chen thought about it for a while, and immediately understood that Xia Huaiying didn't hate himself, but he only knew that he 'occupied' his yard, so he would have such an appearance.

The old lady also finished ordering at this time, and patted Xia Chen's hand: "It's not too early, Zhou Che is tired, go back and rest." Yu'er, send the third young master over. ”

There was only a touch of yellowish left in the sky, the moon had already risen, and from the hall out of the courtyard, to the long road, Yu'er pointed to the courtyard wall on the right: "Third young master, this is the courtyard of the eldest master, and the courtyard of the third master is behind." ”

After that, he pointed to the door of the cave on the left: "Here is the Bishui Xuan of the eldest young master and the fourth young master, the second lady of the eldest lady listens to Yuxuan, and the third lady lives with the eldest lady now, and after the eldest lady gets married, she will move to Tingyuxuan." Behind it is the third young master's Yingyue Xuan. ”

Xia Chen was confused for a while, there are still a lot of courtyards in this Xia Mansion.

"Where is the second young master's Leng Meixuan?"

Yu'er said: "At the back of the third master's courtyard, there is a garden separated from the third young master, one left and one right. ”

Xia Chen smiled: "It sounds very good, but he doesn't seem to be satisfied." ”

Yu'er whispered: "The third young master will understand when he arrives at Yingyue Xuan. ”

As soon as she entered Yingyue Xuan, Xia Chen knew why everyone wanted it, this yard was not smaller than the old lady, there was a blue pond in the middle, a small wooden bridge was erected, there was a pergola on the bridge, and some vines were hanging on it, she faintly heard the sound of running water, thinking that this pool of water was living water, but it was too late to study it carefully. The pond is surrounded by strange stones, and there are many flowers and plants, which exude a light fragrance and moistness with dew.

Coming to the main house from the verandah, there were two maids and a mother-in-law standing in front of the door, and said in unison: "The slave has seen the third young master." ”

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Yueniang came out of the hall: "Chen'er, why did you come back so late?" ”

Yu'er smiled and said, "The old lady is still reluctant to let go." After that, Shi Yifu said: "If the third young master has no other instructions, I will go back." ”

Xia Chen said: "Sister Yu'er walks slowly. ”

Yu'er hurriedly bowed down and said: "Don't dare to be a slave, the third young master just calls the slave Yu'er." ”

Xia Chen said: "I like to call it that, Sister Yu'er is as good-looking as a fairy, and she is good to Chen'er." "Everyone loves to listen to good words, and the sweet mouth will never suffer, this Yu'er is the old lady's personal ring, and even Na Zhu'er is very respectful to her.

Yu'er smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then you can't call the slave maid sister, the slave maid doesn't disturb the third young master's rest, and the third young master can send someone to me or find Mother Wang if he needs anything." ”

Xia Chen nodded: "Yes." ”

The two maids and the mother-in-law followed into the house. The mother-in-law spoke first: "The slave's surname is Cao." ”

Yahuan, who was dressed in a green skirt with a round face and big eyes, said: "Slave and maid Lu'er." ”

Xia Chen pointed to the delicate Yahuan in a pink skirt and said, "You're not called a fan, are you?" “

The two maids covered their lips and laughed at the same time, and Cao's mother also smiled: "Her name is Hong'er." ”

Xia Chen said: "Then I guessed about the same. ”

Yueniang said: "The third young master is tired of travel these days, wait for him to rest." ”

The two maids responded: "Yes." So he went to the east side and made the bed.

Cao's mother said, "Third Young Master, do you need to use some nights?" ”

"No need, I had a full dinner, and besides, I don't have the habit of eating late, go get some water and let me wash my face."

"Yes."

After Cao's mother went out, the naughty smile on Xia Chen's face disappeared, and she said lightly: "This Xia Mansion is quite magnificent!" She thought to herself, could it be that the officials of the Great Cloud Country are treated so highly? Otherwise, a fourth-grade general, who has not yet reached the fourth grade, how can there be a mansion of such a scale.

Yueniang said: "I just heard from Wang's mother that there is a small river not far from the south city gate, and a few green mountains that are not very high, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. ”

Xia Chen thought, this can be regarded as a mountain and a river, this Xia Mansion is still a treasure of feng shui, which is a bit interesting. Suddenly remembered that the Cen Mansion was also in the south of the city, and it was not far from here.

At this time, Cao's mother fetched water, and the two maids had already made the bed.

Xia Chen said: "You all go back and rest, just have Yueniang here." ”

"Yes."

The blue satin quilt is smooth and soft, and the futon is light and soft. Xia Chen lay on the bed and stretched. "Yueniang, you go to sleep in the west."

Yueniang knew that Xia Chen would never let her be on duty at night, so she thought for a while: "Hmm." ”

Slaves and maidservants on night duty usually set up bunks outside the door so that they can be told at any time. But Xia Chen never sleeps at night, and he doesn't have those delicate habits.

The bed was very comfortable, Xia Chen was also very tired, but she couldn't sleep when she closed her eyes, thinking back to what had happened since she entered the Xia Mansion, she felt that although it was not as complicated as those families, it seemed that it would take some time to get to know these people in detail. She can't ask many things directly, and even if she does, those slaves and maids don't dare to talk nonsense in front of her, and if they don't get it right, they will make people suspicious, and she has to continue to pretend to be stupid.

The next day, Xia Chen got up early, pushed the door open, and the fresh air came to his face. She stepped down the steps and onto the small bridge, and when she looked closely, it turned out that the pool was a spring, and the water gushed out of the ground and flowed down the dug channel to the outside of the courtyard.

Squatting down and reaching out to touch it, the water temperature is very cold, exuding a clear fragrance. I picked up the water and washed my face, and I suddenly felt refreshed.

There is a pebble-paved path between the rockeries, twists and turns, Xia Chen walked along the path, turned two corners, there was a small lawn, in the middle of which there was a mountain of grapes and a simple wooden pavilion.

I think that this Xia Mansion must have been inhabited by a gentleman, but unfortunately now it has been replaced by a martial artist.

At this time, Yueniang's shout came: "Chen'er, Chen'er." ”

Xia Chen returned along the same path and found the two maids standing under the porch with handkerchiefs and basins in their hands, both stretching their necks and looking around.

"I'll walk around at will, this yard is very fun, you can hide cats."

Lu'er sighed: "Third Young Master, if you want to play, you have to wash up first." ”

After washing her face, Hong'er combed her hair, and said while combing: "The third young master's hair is so good, dense and slippery, and it is almost able to tie up the crown." ”

Lu'er picked a silver ribbon with an agate bead pendant: "This one is good?" ”

Xia Chen nodded: "It's so good-looking, that's it." She pretended to be excited, but she was bored.

At this time, Cao's mother held a set of clothes: "Third Young Master, this is what the second young lady asked me to send, it was originally made for the second young master, seeing that the third young master did not prepare a single coat, and he was similar to the second young master, so he asked the slave maid to bring it to the third young master to wear first." ”

Xia Chen was a little surprised: "Sister Yarong can also make clothes?" ”

Cao's mother smiled: "The second lady's female red is so good, she works to fly the line, which makes people dazzled." ”

Xia Chen took the clothes, the inner clothes were moon-white silk, and the outer clothes were azure soft brocade, she rarely touched the moire lace embroidered with dark and light blue silk threads on the top: "It's so beautiful, how can Chen'er thank Sister Yarong?" ”

At this time, a coquettish voice came from outside the door: "What's polite with my sister, Chen'er likes it." ”

Xia Chen came out of the inner room and saw that it was Xia Yarong.

Yueniang hurriedly gave a salute: "Second Miss, please take a seat." ”

Xia Yarong sat down and said, "I'm also confused, the clothes were given to Cao's mother, and I thought that it was inappropriate to be fat and thin, so I came over to see where I needed to change it." Chen'er is going inside and putting it on. ”

Xia Chen held his clothes and jumped into the back room, and Yueniang hurriedly followed.

After entering the house, Xia Chen walked behind the screen, changed into this set of clothes, and found that the size was quite appropriate. His stature is average among children of the same age, Xia Huaiying is more than two years older than herself, but she is the same as herself, and she is afraid that she will not grow tall in the future.

Yueniang was only waiting at the door, the reason why she followed up was just for show, Xia Chen never needed help from others to get dressed.

Xia Chen walked out from behind the screen and turned around: "How is it?" ”

Yueniang smiled: "It's good-looking." ”

Coming to the hall, Xia Chen said, "Sister Yarong, look. ”

Xia Yarong said: "It's really good, it's the same as a tailor-made one, I'll sew a set for you at this size when I go back, what color pattern does Chen'er like?" ”

Xia Chen frowned and thought for a while: "Chen'er doesn't understand, it's good for Sister Yarong to look good." ”

Xia Yarong said with a smile: "Okay, Chen'er is so handsome, she looks good in anything." ”

Xia Chen said in her heart, she is quite good at talking, and she is so friendly and attentive to herself, is she really gentle and affectionate?

Impossible, right? It's just cousins, and they haven't been together for many years, not to mention that the Sun family will definitely not teach their children to be close to themselves, just look at Xia Huaiying. But she looks very sincere, and she doesn't seem to have anything to ask for herself, so she really can't guess.

At this time, Lu'er said, "Third Young Master, I'll go and see if it's okay to have breakfast." ”

Xia Yarong got up and said, "I'll go back first, Chen'er will have time to play in my yard." ”

"Okay."

After breakfast, a fat white woman with a somewhat kind face came over and said: "Third Young Master, the eldest lady said that if the third young master has not been relieved, there is no need to go to the old lady to say goodbye today, and the slave maid will come over and take the third young master to see the eldest master in a while." Said a blessing: "The slave and maid retreated first." ”

Xia Chen glanced at Cao's mother: "The juniors in the house have to go to the old lady every day to say goodbye?" "In this era, it is a relatively basic etiquette for the younger generation to greet the elders, and the Han family eats together, so there is no need to pay attention to it, especially if there is no requirement for her.

Cao's mother said: "After breakfast and before dinner, Mrs. and young masters and young ladies must go to say goodbye, the rules are like this." However, since the eldest lady said that the third young master doesn't need to go today, the third young master will rest in the house. ”

Xia Chen smiled: "I'm dressed so beautifully today, how can I not show off." "Let yourself rest for a long time, will the Qian family be so kind? It's all a thousand-year-old fox, so don't play with me and talk fast!

Cao's mother and the two maids laughed when they heard this, Cao's mother was older, and quickly reprimanded the two maids with a straight face: "Don't be rude, what's so funny about this." ”

Xia Chen said: "It's okay, there are no outsiders here." What's more, Green and Red are both very good-looking when they laugh. ”

Lu'er said: "The third young master is so good at coaxing people, no wonder the old lady loves it so much, this yard and the things sent are the best." I went to get breakfast just now, and only the third young master was eight-treasure porridge. ”

Xia Chen waved his hand: "In that case, I'm going to say hello to my grandmother." Yueniang go with me. She wanted to see what Qian would look like when she saw her.
