=====================================================

He has a pair of Danfeng eyes, the bottom of the eyes has its own waves, and as soon as the eye bones turn, the smile overflows the eyebrows.

Duan didn't scream, she was still blessed, but when she heard Aunt Li's voice, she met the other party's gaze with a smile, and her words were a little ridiculous: "Sister Xia Lian, I haven't seen you for a long time, is my sister's dress still clean and refreshing?" ”

Aunt Li opened her mouth and was about to go back, but was stopped by Duan.

Duan's voice was very calm, the previous shock had passed, and she called out lightly: "Get up." ”

He Shi got up, respectfully pushed a few steps away, and looked at Aunt Li with a little provocation in his eyes.

He went to greet Cao and a few young ladies, and the maids and ladies hugged Duan and saluted.

All the salutes are in place.

Zhen Xuan saw He for the first time, and she didn't know what the origin of this person named He Chunmei was, which surprised Duan and Aunt Li so much.

Zhenqi hadn't seen her before, so she was puzzled and couldn't ask, so she could only shut up.

Zhen Lin and Zhen Huan's complexions were not very good, they seemed to know the He family, and they didn't dare to say anything because the Duan family was here.

The stunned on Cao's face flashed, it wasn't for her own house, she didn't talk here, she stood there with a smile, waiting for Duan's to speak.

The Duan family had already scolded the He family in his heart, but this was still here in the Hanging Flower Gate. There are concubines, daughters, and nieces by her side, and she has to wait behind closed doors to settle accounts with He's family, otherwise her face will be dragged down.

"It's all dusty, are you ready for hot water at home?" Duan asked.

He replied, "The room is all cleaned up. Every inch of land in the capital is valuable. The Shilang Mansion is more spacious than the old mansion in Yongzhou, and the aggrieved ladies have to squeeze it. ”

How big the capital homestead is, the Duan family knows. Hearing this, he nodded, and asked the maids and ladies to do it, move all the luggage, and freshen up before going to see the eldest master.

He and Aunt Li helped Duan to the left and right.

Leave a few mothers-in-law to lead the way.

Zhen Qi lived in a small courtyard with the fifth master and the Cao family, and Zhen Lin, Zhen Xuan, and Zhen Huan lived in a courtyard.

The courtyard entered three times before and after, and Zhen Xuan got the second entrance, a main room with one light and two darkness. There are two wings in the east and west, and the wings are equipped with ear rooms, if you want to say that the place is small, you can also let everyone live, and it can't be small.

The main house was very clean. The Bogu frame is used as a partition to block the light in the middle and the dark room in the east, and the beautifully carved partition door is used in the west, and the bedroom is inside.

Before Zhen Xuan had time to take a closer look, two rough mothers-in-law brought hot water in, Tao Aya waited for Zhen Xuan to bathe, Bang Qin took Bang Mo and Xing Aya to clean up things in the east room and the middle room, and the two mothers went to tidy up their own houses.

After freshening up, I was really relieved.

This time is in a hurry. Naturally, he couldn't take a hot bath in the carriage, and Zhen Xuan was dizzy and even more weak on the boat, and he was finally comfortable at this time.

After grooming, they should go to the Duan family and follow them to see the eldest master, but when they remembered the turmoil between the Duan family, Aunt Li and the He family just now. Zhen Xuan didn't want to be unprepared.

called Xing Aya in, Zhen Xuan said, "You go ahead and see, is the fourth sister ready?" ”

Xing Aya went in response, and came back after a while: "Fourth Miss asked Miss to come over, and another person invited Miss Ten." ”

Zhen Xuan nodded, since this is the case, let's go to Zhen Lin first, and wait for the Duan family to send someone to ask before going.

Zhen Lin changed into a goose yellow, the whole person looked a lot brighter, sitting in the middle of the hall and talking to Hua Lu, seeing Zhen Xuan coming, she smiled and said: "I haven't cleaned up here, it's a mess, the seventh sister sits casually." ”

Hua Lu brought the tea up, did not wait on the side, and instructed the maids to clean up.

Zhen Lin didn't speak with her cheeks, Zhen Xuan didn't want to ask, Zhen Huan didn't take long to come, and sat there a little twisted.

"Fourth sister, that Chunmei ......" Zhenhuan was so young that he couldn't hold his breath and couldn't hold back his words, so he asked.

Zhen Lin raised her eyes to look at Zhen Huan and said softly: "Her maiden name, we can't call her in the future, we have to call Aunt He." ”

Zhenhuan bit his lower lip, obviously mentally prepared, but when he heard this, his eyes were still dark, and he turned his head and didn't speak.

Zhen Lin knew that Zhen Xuan didn't know him, sighed, and added: "It's the old man next to my mother, who stayed in the capital when I returned to Yongzhou and helped my mother take care of the backyard." ”

The rest of the matter doesn't need to be explained in detail.

The Duan family kept a henchman in the capital to prevent the eldest master from coming, but who knew that this maid turned around and became an aunt, and she had kept the Duan family in the dark all these years, so it was no wonder that Duan and Aunt Li were so surprised.

Tea was sipped, but no one spoke.

After sitting for another half an hour, Duan's people were invited.

The three sisters walked together, and halfway through, they met Cao and Zhenqi, saluted each other, and went to the upper room.

When I entered, I saw that there were quite a few people in the house.

Zhende and Zhenhui stood aside, Master Pei sat in the middle, Duan sat next to him, and the fifth master and the seventh master sat at the bottom.

This is the first time Zhen Xuan has seen the eldest master, a thirty-seven-year-old servant of the ministry, and it can be regarded as a smooth career.

When a few children kowtowed, they hurriedly screamed.

Zhen Xuan went to see the Seventh Master again, slightly fat, and in good spirits.

The eyes of the seventh master also fell on Zhen Xuan, he naturally knew how Zhen Ying climbed to the Yongliang Palace, and he was a little more uneasy about this seventh niece, and his smile was full of apologies.

Let people see the seat, the eldest man asked about the situation on the road, the elders in the family are healthy, and the Duan family answered one by one.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Aunt He asked if she wanted to set up a meal, and waited for the eldest man to nod. led the maids to the flower hall to prepare.

The eldest master got up and said to Duan on the way to the flower hall: "There was no one in the capital before, so I let Aunt He take care of the feed, since you are here." Just take it, or it won't look like it. ”

Duan lowered his eyes and responded.

Family dinners are not so particular. They are all from Yongzhou, and some dishes with Yongzhou flavor have been prepared.

When they had finished eating, they dispersed.

Zhen Xuan was so tired that she fell asleep on the shelf bed, and Momo Aya stayed at vigil for the others to go back and clean up.

Early the next morning, when I sat down to comb my hair. And the news came in.

The backyard of Shilang's Mansion is not big, and the news is not closed, especially when someone deliberately spreads the word.

Aunt Li and Aunt He pinched hard.

Aunt Li scolded Aunt He for being shameless, and the Duan family first chose to leave Aunt He down, not to ask her to climb the bed. Carry her as an aunt.

Aunt He lowered her head and played with her nails, listening to Aunt Li's scolding happily, she looked up and glanced sideways: "You did it, I can't do it?" ”

One sentence made Aunt Li so angry that she couldn't speak.

Duan looked at Aunt He, her eyes were cold, she still remembered that at that time, Aunt He was still a very responsible maid, and her eyes were a little dull, and she was definitely not looking forward to it now.

Aunt He was chosen so that she could take care of some inner courtyards. There is a steward in front of him, and there is no master in the inner courtyard, in fact, there is not much to do, just to feel at ease, but Aunt He played with the guard and stole and climbed into the old man's bed.

Just now, several mothers-in-law came in and talked back. The more Duan listened, the more angry he became, where is Aunt He's in charge, she is simply in charge, even the stewards of the outer courtyard have to listen to her, not to mention the servants in the inner courtyard.

Thanks to the political neutrality of the eldest lord, and the object of wooing by all parties, he does not often interact with colleagues, and his colleagues also know that she is an aunt in the capital, so naturally she will not bring her female relatives to visit, which did not attract a lot of infamy.

Duan's didn't want to talk nonsense with Aunt He, so he rewarded a hairpin and drank her a cup of tea, which can be regarded as recognizing this aunt.

At night, with the arrow of the eldest master, as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Aunt He to hand over the account.

Aunt He is not stupid, what is the benefit of hitting a stone with an egg, even if she is reluctant in her heart, she still smiled and promised to pay the account the next day and let the stewards come and talk back.

Anyway, the Duan family only lived in the capital until the spring of the next year when Zhenlin got married, and then he had to go back to Yongzhou to serve Mrs. Ma, but it was only half a year, and Aunt He could still bear it.

There are several decent mothers-in-law in the inner courtyard who were left by the Duan family, but they were all treated to death by Aunt He, and most of them were not convinced.

After listening to this, Zhen Xuan pursed her lips and looked at Tao Aya: "It's not easy for the eldest aunt. I think this Aunt He is no easier to deal with than Aunt Chen. ”

Tao Aya's hand was sharp, and she said: "The slave maid thinks that Aunt Chen is still powerful, and Aunt Chen has children and daughters." ”

"If Aunt Chen hadn't made a mistake, she wouldn't have been caught by Aunt Li and Aunt Li."

In the end, it was something in Duan's house, and after a few casual words, I didn't mention it anymore.

After serving breakfast, Tao Aya came in with a smile and said, "Miss, the second master and the fourth master have already gone over to greet the eldest wife and the fifth wife." ”

Zhen Xuan was stunned when she heard this, and bit her chopsticks and lowered her eyes, yesterday Zhen Che and Zhen Xu's daughter-in-law were called to eat and drink, and they came back late, and the inner courtyard had already fallen into the key, so it was only in the morning to ask for peace.

When they arrived at Duan's place together, Zhen Che and Zhen Xuan were there, and several brothers and sisters greeted each other.

Duan was busy reconciling with Aunt He, so he said to Zhen Che: "You take a few younger brothers and sisters to take a stroll around the house, but don't allow them to go crazy, a few girls are good, staring at Zhende and Zhenhui, don't let the two of them run around, the capital is not as good as our Yongzhou, let them make some trouble, they can't afford it." ”

Zhen Che answered.

Zhen Che and Zhen Xu have been living in the outer courtyard, and they don't know the situation in the inner courtyard, so they can't lead them around, just looking for a place to sit down and talk.

"Seventh sister." Zhen Che called Zhen Xuan, and when he saw Zhen Xuan raise his head, he curled the corners of his lips, "What I promised you, I finally didn't break my promise." ”

Zhen Xuan was stunned, and for no reason to Zhen Che's smile, his nose was sore.
