The next morning, Changsheng stood in front of the tall gatehouse of Xie Mansion, looking at the shiny copper buckle on the vermilion gate, full of confidence and expectation for this position. She stepped forward to explain her intention to the house slave guarding the door, and immediately a small servant took her in.

Entering the door and not going straight forward, bypassing the flower bed inside the gate, turning into it along a bluestone path on the east side, Changsheng secretly looked at it, and sometimes from the layout of the courtyard house, some of the owner's temperament can be seen.

Xie Mansion is full of simple and calm atmosphere, the houses are neat but not gorgeous, the garden is simple and clear and there are no pavilions and pavilions, because most of the flowers and trees are yellow in winter, it seems quiet and bleak. It seems that the area is not large, and there are not many domestic slaves and maids, so it seems that the master is a person who does not like publicity.

Came to a side courtyard, the room was warm, so that Changsheng, who had just come in from the cold wind, was a little more comfortable, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl looked at her curiously, sent hot tea and stood aside respectfully, it seems that the family is not above the top of the eyes of no one.

Soon came in a person who looked like a housekeeper, about thirty years old, not arrogant, not humble, careful and cautious, which made Changsheng feel good, he politely and in detail asked Changsheng's basic situation, including his family and experience in the palace, nodded and motioned for her to wait, and left.

Xie Fu is quite cautious, and it is up to the housekeeper to try it for the first time, and then it is decided by the master, it seems that she has passed the first level, Changsheng is becoming more and more careful, and she does not dare to relax in her heart, she will not allow herself to fail, because she can't live in that home, and this is the only way out at present.

In the process of sitting alone and waiting, he seemed to feel a figure shaking outside the window, could it be that the people in Xie Mansion were still secretly looking at themselves? When he walked to the window, he saw a corner of the royal blue brocade robe hidden in the bushes and left, it seemed to be a master, if the girl slave peeped, it could be regarded as curiosity, but the master did this, but it made Changsheng feel a little suspicious.

After a while, the housekeeper returned and said politely: "The general agrees with Miss Zhou, but there are some things to be made clear in advance, the upbringing aunt hired by Xie Fu is treated the same as Mr. Xixi, and she must accompany the young lady to live in the same hospital from time to time, and designate a girl to serve. It's just that the girl can't leave Xie Mansion for at least two years after applying. Basically, these conditions, if the girl agrees, we will go to see the childe, and he will decide. ”

Changsheng's nervous mood relaxed slightly, it seemed that there was some hope, and this treatment was really not thin. However, although it annoyed her by being nagged by her mother to marry every day at home, the Xie family stipulated that she could not leave the house within two years, so wouldn't she be able to marry within two years, could she have made a leftover girl?

Fortunately, two years is not a long time, and there is no suitable person to marry at present, if you really find someone with a similar heart, I believe that the other party will not care about waiting for more time, and may not be able to find it within two years. In any case, it is better than staying in the Zhou family and being wronged, Changsheng intuition waited until the New Year was over, her life at home would not be so comfortable, and it was best to get out early, so she nodded solemnly: "I agree!" ”

Came to a tall and wide main house, facing the double lattice door wide open, hanging a thick cotton curtain, as soon as he approached, a small servant opened the curtain, Changsheng concentrated, followed the housekeeper and stepped in generously.

The room is warm, atmospheric but not luxurious, sitting a young man with his head bowed and holding a scroll, a robe with dark piping, seeing someone coming in, putting down the scroll and raising his head, seeing the appearance of Changsheng, there is a trace of surprise and appreciation in his eyes, this woman has a beautiful face, elegant and calm, and a calm and generous demeanor.

It's just that the feeling of being out of the world is very familiar and familiar, just like his deceased wife, who is obviously the closest person to him, but it seems that she never belongs to him and the world.

Changsheng could see that he was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with well-defined outlines, cheerful eyebrows, deep eyes, handsome and elegant. She noticed his dark brocade robe, the corner of the royal blue robe that had just been hiding in the bushes, and the man was not him.

Who is that person? Since the master recruits and educates the aunt, she should be generous to see her, so it won't be like this, right? Could it be General Xie's wife and concubine? Soon denied it, Datang advocates gorgeous and intense beauty, and the young official daughters are all red and willow green, who wears such a heavy color as royal blue? It was clearly a man's robe, not a skirt.

The butler stepped forward and whispered a few words, and then said to Changsheng, "This is General Xie." ”

Changsheng was a little surprised, his elegant appearance was not at all like the bold and rigid general she imagined. stepped forward and saluted generously, and waited until the other party waved her to take a seat, and sat down elegantly, not that she was too self-righteous, people are recruiting aunts, not recruiting little girls, if they are impetuous and cowardly, how can they raise a qualified lady?

Sure enough, General Xie's expression became more and more satisfied, and he nodded and didn't ask much, because the housekeeper who should have asked had already asked and reported it all to him. Watching Changsheng take a sip of hot tea, he said: "In the future, the little girl will entrust Miss Zhou, take Miss Zhou down to rest, and explain what she should explain, so that she can go back early to prepare." ”

Changsheng was overjoyed in his heart, so he was in love with himself? Although he tried his best to be calm and calm, he raised his head and his eyes were still shining, and he had irrepressible joy, and he quickly calmed down and replied: "The general is high, his immortal ability is limited, and he doesn't dare to be a trust, but he will definitely do his best to teach Miss." ”

Her words made General Xie feel good, this is a woman who knows how to advance and retreat, her eyes are calm and clear, steady and not dull, her temperament is inexplicably similar to that of her deceased wife, she should rest assured that she should hand over her daughter.

Following the housekeeper back to the small courtyard just now, the housekeeper told her that the general was very satisfied with her, and signed up to call Xie Chengzhong, giving a general introduction to the Xie family.

General Xie, who saw her just now, is the eldest son of the Xie family, named Xie Mingche, twenty-six years old, his wife died three years ago, leaving only a daughter named Xie Jinshu, who is seven years old. The Xie family has a hereditary county earl (that is, an earl, located under the title of duke), the palace is in Wugong County in the land of Gyeonggi, Xiao Jinshu lost his mother at a young age, Xie Mingche is busy with official business, and the north is cold and dry, so he stayed in Xie Mansion to live with his grandmother and uncle and aunt, and Changsheng must go to Xie Mansion in Wugong County to raise Xiao Jinshu.

Changsheng was stunned, Jinshu? Actually has the same name as her previous life? Thinking of her sister and parents, her eyes were sour and almost cried, and she quickly suppressed her emotions again, when she was not out of shape in this birthplace, she felt close to Xiao Jinshu who had not met in her heart, but she had just left Beijing for a few months, but she wanted to go back?

I couldn't figure out what the mood was for a while, and during the time I went home, it was said that I was not happy, and I had suffered a lot of grievances, and she wanted to get out of this wrong place as soon as possible. But when she heard that she was going to be far away from home at first glance, her heart was sour, I don't know how long she can stay at home?
