The inner room is very large, with a north and south kang, and the girls sit on the kang, and there are refreshments and snacks on the kang table.

At the beginning, it was a little rusty, Shen Wanzhu and Shen Wanyu looked down on the two girls from the Wu family, so they surrounded their daughter-in-law Wu Ailian, the elder sister and the elder sister screamed affectionately, and they stammered, and now Wu Ailian was even more proud, her fleshy face was raised, and her face was full of pride

Zhen pulled Wanyun to speak, and at this time, Wanzhen smiled at Wu Yulian across the kang table, Wu Yulian was a little flattered, and Wanzhen asked: "My sister's house is to invite a needlework master to teach at home, and the female red must be good."

Wu Yulian blushed embarrassedly and said: "Let my sister laugh, my sister is not very popular, but she can't practice well."

Wanzhen saw that she was embarrassed, and smiled quietly: "How old is my sister, and my sister doesn't like it, so I can't do it."

All of a sudden, the distance between the two was shortened.

Wu Yulian said affectionately: "Sisters, are you here to stay for a few more days this time?" ”

Wanzhen shook her head and smiled: "Mother wants to accompany my grandmother, I think I can stay longer."

Wu Yulian was a little happy and said, "Sister has time to tell me about the new things in Shandong."

Wanzhen said sincerely: "When I settle down, my sister will come to play with me."

Wu Yulian was embarrassed and whispered: "My yard is small, it's not good to invite my sister over."

Wanzhen blinked and whispered mischievously: "My sister's yard at home is not big."

Wu Yulian seemed to have found a confidant and chatted with Wanzhen, thinking that she was lonely in Wu's mansion.

Wanzhen intends to approach her, she doesn't know anything about Wu Mansion, so she envelops her, so she can inquire about the situation, she has calculated, her daughter Wu Ailian is arrogant by nature and not easy to approach, the chubby concubine Wu Huilian is not pretending to be really a little wooden, although Wu Yulian seems to be timid, but looking at the light that often flashes in her eyes, it is not like she usually behaves submissively.

The eight girls and the fat girl Wu Huilian are solving a nine-link chain.

At this time, a few mothers-in-law came in carrying a box and put it on the ground of the house, saying, "This is what Mrs. Gu asked me to send in, the thing is not valuable, and I said that it was for the three girls in the house to play."

The Wu family has been rewarded, and this is to bring gadgets to the girls.

The box is opened, and there are a variety of things inside, including all kinds of fans, fan pendants, exquisite embroidered handkerchiefs, wood carved figures, crystal ornaments, fine porcelain, and a large box of beads, pearls and silk, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

Wu Yulian was pleasantly surprised to pick up a wood carving, it is an old man, the carving is exquisite, vivid, the wrinkles on the face are carved into the wood, and the highest is still carved with the wood texture to show the upper and lower layers are distinct, forming a natural clothing material pattern.

Wu Yulian couldn't put it down, and was holding it in her hand to enjoy it, but she was snatched away by Wu Ailian's hand, and she glanced at her and said: "The little family is angry, the eyes are shallow, and everything is good."

Everyone watched, Wu Yulian's face turned red unconsciously, and she walked back to the kang in a daze, sat down, and didn't look at the contents of the box.

Wanzhen looked at her opposite, Wu Yulian's eyes showed a little unwillingness, and then she lowered her head and didn't dare to compete, and the moment she lowered her head, the corners of her eyes were clearly cold.

Wu Huilian also went over to look, but was glared at by Wu Ailian, and saw that Wu Yulian was excluded, so she hid aside, not daring to move forward.

Shen Wanzhen is a little uneven, the Shen Mansion is still fair to the concubine, the fourth girl Shen Juanyun knows books and etiquette, acts magnificently, and never puts a concubine on the shelf, this comparison, the number of etiquette in the Shen Mansion is stronger than that of the Wu family.

Wu Ailian picked up the contents of the box in the same way, took the life maid she liked, and threw the one she didn't like to the two, and said, "Take it", like throwing a leftover bone for a dog to eat.

Zhen frowned imperceptibly, and then pretended not to see, and continued to talk to the fourth girl, Shen Wanyun, but his eyes slipped past several concubines of the Shen family from time to time.

Wanzhen looked up by chance, Zhen's face was calm, but from the handkerchief she was twisting, it could be seen that she was not calm in her heart, and Wanzhen always felt a trace of jealousy and hostility in her eyes, I don't know if she was too careful.

Wanzhen and Wu Yulian talked, listening carefully to the outside movement, Mrs. Wu and her daughter Susu talked about family life, Wanzhen listened, it is nothing more than the filial piety of her brother and sister-in-law, and the granddaughter-in-law is sensible, and she listened in a trance as if to say, the granddaughter-in-law Zhen has been in the door for five years and gave birth to a daughter, and she has not come up with a little cough these days, and the old lady Wu sighed when she said that her granddaughter in the middle.

Wanzhen remembered her pseudo-cousin Wu Jinglan, the eldest son of Wu Fu, and the second son Wu Jingtai was not in the house.

It didn't take much effort, and my aunt Jiang said: "My sister is tired all the way, go back to the room to rest for a while, and have a reunion dinner later."

As soon as the old lady said yes, a maid leaned on the curtain and showed her head, and said with a smile: "Cousin girls, my aunt is calling."

Wanzhen and Wanzhu and Wanyu got down from the kang, Shen Wanzhu and Shen Wanyu went out first, Wanzhen felt that someone had ripped off the corner of her clothes, and when she looked back, it was Wu Yulian, Wu Yulian whispered: "I'll go to my sister's place to play when I go back."

Wanzhen whispered happily: "My sister must go!" ”

Entering the hall, Zhen smiled and said, "My aunt and sisters came with me, and the yard was cleaned for the first ten days." ”

Zhen helped the second wife Wu to walk in front, leading, out of the back door of the upper room, along the mezzanine, through a moon gate, is the garden of the Wu Mansion, Shen Wanzhu exclaimed: "The garden of my grandfather's house is so big!" The house is tall and big, and it is much more magnificent than our Shen family."

Zhen listened, his eyes darkened, and he turned around and smiled: "My sister is really good at talking, Wu Mansion is nothing in the capital, my sister didn't see it, I heard your cousin say that the back garden of Anyang Wangfu is a few big in our family."

Wu said: "King Anyang is not the biological son of the current Queen Mother, the emperor's half-brother."

Zhen said as he walked: "Exactly, today's holy brother and brother Gong, the prince was crowned king as soon as he became an adult, moved out of the palace, and gave the mansion. ”

Wu whispered: "How did I hear that King Anyang is not like his other brothers, he doesn't pay attention to the court's serious affairs, and specializes in entertaining Gao Le, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Zhen paused, seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "The queen mother is only one son, it is inevitable to spoil her, and the king of Anyang likes to play a little and is often with your nephew."

Wu understands that his nephew still has brains, and making friends with the royal family will be of great benefit to the future.

I asked my niece and granddaughter again, and ordered someone to send the things I brought later.

Zhen smiled and said: "Auntie, your old man is a guest, an elder, how can you ask for your old things, it is your nephew and daughter-in-law who honor your old age, and now my nephew and daughter-in-law want dishes in the largest Sihaifu restaurant in the capital, my aunt has not eaten Beijing cuisine for a long time, and my nephew and daughter-in-law have ordered all the famous Beijing dishes."

Wanzhen listened to Zhen's voice is not high, delicate and good-sounding, handling things properly, not leaking, thinking, this is a round.
