A farewell to the years.

Standing at the door of Xie Mansion again, Xie Shuning was in a trance.

The green paint on the gate looked like it had been freshly painted, and it didn't look old at all. Even the beast head knocker on the door leaf is as clean as washing, without the slightest rust stain.

The little guards at the door hurriedly saluted, and one of them took the lead to pass the word inside. The other hurried open the door and welcomed them in.

Faintly, there seems to be something different.

By the time they reached the Hanging Flower Gate, there was already a crowd of people waiting there.

The mother-in-law and maid came forward and eagerly came to thank Shuning's mother and daughter.

Xie Shuning looked at it coldly, but he didn't see anyone from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the crowd. Zhuo's mother and cinnabar beside her are nowhere to be found. If you look closely, all the mothers-in-law seem to be very angry.

They had left Kyoto in the autumn of the previous year, and it had been a full year and a half. But the wife in charge of the house is not there, who will be in charge of the appointment and transfer between these mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law?

Originally, she followed Song Yanzhao to the Western Regions, and she was only going to return to Kyoto in the summer of last year. However, who knows, something went wrong halfway, so they had to stay in Dunhuang for a long time. In this way, Kyosato's affairs are not very controlled, and they begin to gradually exceed the scope of her prediction.

It stands to reason that although the Song family is not at home, she is just traveling far away and not returning, not to mention that Xie Yuanmao is still staying in the mansion, and the long room will not interfere in the trivial affairs of the third room in such a short time.

Moreover, the mess before they left was enough to make the long room have no time to be distracted to manage the third room.

Therefore, this will enter the second gate, walking on the verandah, Xie Shuning has quickly imagined the current situation of the third room in his heart.

Chen's early decline, but it is difficult to guarantee that in the past year and a half, she has not produced a moth.

Xie Yuanmao's other concubine, Aunt Dong, was not visible in the past. It is not known what it has become now, whether it is because there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

"Hey, when did the interstitial screen here change to this one?" Walking to the hall, Song's footsteps were slightly sluggish, and he looked at the tall interstitial screen of the bamboo carving, and frowned.

The mother-in-law who followed behind hurriedly said: "If you go back to your wife, this is what the sixth master personally asked her to change." ”

Xie Shuning remembers that it was not a bamboo carving interstitial screen that was originally placed here. Rather, it was a red sandalwood marble, which was the dowry of the Song family. Because the workmanship is quite exquisite and rare, it is specially placed here to make a scene.

Why was it replaced?

She looked at her mother's expression and said, "Why did it change?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled, "The original one somehow cracked." accidentally cut Miss Jiu's hand again, and the sixth master sent a message to ask someone to change it. ”

Song heard this. The frowning brow furrowed again. Raising his feet and continuing to walk inside, he asked, "How is Miss Nine doing lately?" ”

"Miss Nine is all right, and now she is also learning embroidery with Qin Niangzi, and she is also much smarter. The sixth master also specially invited a female gentleman to teach Miss Nine to read and learn characters. The mother-in-law lowered her eyebrows and spoke eloquently.

Song was also happy when he heard it, "This is a good thing. ”

Then she asked about the long room. Hearing that Xie Sanye had risen again, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

The period of time they left Kyoto was long and long, but it was true. But it's just a white horse, a very fast thing.

When Second Master Xie died, Third Master was promoted, and now it has been less than two years, and he has moved his position again.

If you go up, you have to catch up with the original Second Master Xie.

Sure enough, as Xie Shuning thought at the beginning, without Second Master Xie, Third Master Xie, who stayed in Beijing, also began to be like a fish in water in the court, rising step by step, supporting the courtyard of the Xie family.

Song was surprised, and remembered the second lady Liang.

She wanted to ask, but when she glanced at the mother-in-law surnamed Zhu who followed beside her, she was sent by Xie Yuanmao to pick up people, but her eyes were very angry, so she lost interest and simply didn't mention it.

A group of people silently walked towards the main compound.

I rushed back because of the long distance, and the whole group was dusty, so it was not good to go directly to meet a few elders in the long house.

It was approaching dusk again, and the spring days were still short, and in a few moments it would be dark.

Song thought about it, why don't you go back to the room to wash and rest first, and then go to see the old lady and his wife in the long room early tomorrow morning.

I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and even if it's a scene, there is still a lot to talk about. They missed Chinese New Year's Eve again, which is really undeserved, and it is inevitable to ask for guilt at that time. At the moment, he is extremely tired and has no energy to deal with it, and the Song family also feels sorry for Xie Shuning's body.

She even thought about it, and directly asked Xie Shuning to go back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to rest.

But Xie Yuanmao got the news, and now he is waiting in the Jade Tea Courtyard, Xie Shuning can't help but go to see his father first.

The Song family secretly sighed, if they were replaced, Xie Yuanmao knew that they were far away, and he would definitely come to greet them as soon as possible. Now, it's just waiting.

Fortunately, after a comfortable life, she didn't take Xie Yuanmao to heart, so she wouldn't be annoyed.

"Madam, how do you place these things?" When she was about to walk to the main room, Mrs. Zhu suddenly asked.

Xie Shuning and the Song family were stunned.

Song said directly, "Just send them to Yuming Courtyard, and then settle them when they are free." ”

"This ...... The slave and maid will order to go down......" Mrs. Zhu hesitated, and the look of disgust in her eyes was fleeting, "You guys, come with me." ”

Song was surprised, and hurriedly stopped: "Wait, you don't need to do this." ”

Gui's mother and Turan are all here, where can they use fake hands to others. Besides, what kind of thing is this man?

"Ma'am...... The slaves and maids promoted by the sixth master himself, these days, the trivial affairs in the house are also managed by the slaves and maids......"

"What?" Song Shi stopped, unable to hide his surprise, "You? ”

Mrs. Zhu's face was triumphant, and she said: "The slave maid was originally a person next to Aunt Dong, and because of her meritorious service in saving Miss Nine, she was assigned to serve in Ruixiang Courtyard. Later, the sixth master saw that the slave maid was still in order, so he promoted the slave and maid to take charge of things. ”

The implication is that she has not become the housekeeper in the Xie family's three bedrooms and two doors?

Mrs. Zhu's words seemed to have a lot of side meanings, but this would be tired, and the Song family didn't have the heart to ask for a while, so he said with a cold face: "The sixth master doesn't know about the trivial matters of the inner house. I promoted you, I think I think you can do it. But these things are all transported from outside the plug, and you don't even know how to place them. ”

"It's the slave who has trespassed." Mrs. Zhu took a step back abruptly.

Song smiled, "Now that I'm back, it's okay for you to trespass." ”

It's okay now, it's hard to say in a few days, and no one can run away after the autumn.

Mrs. Zhu can mix with the current son, what a human spirit, I had an epiphany when I heard it. bowed his head and said nothing, and he didn't dare to mention anything else.

Entering the courtyard, as soon as the girls who were sitting and talking on the platform saw them entering, they all stood up straight in a panic and greeted them, saying, "The sixth master is still reading." The wife and the young lady are back. ”

As he spoke, the curtains were raised. He said inside, "Mrs. has arrived with Miss Eight." ”

Xie Shuning and the Song family did not go in immediately. They only glanced at each other in their voices.

The maids and women in the Jade Tea Courtyard are all very strange.

"Furou!" Before he could speak, a person came out of the room, it was Xie Yuanmao, who had not been seen for a long time.

His face has not changed, he is still the same graceful appearance as before, and he saw them. There is also a deep smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

For this smile, Song could only laugh along.

Xie Shuning bowed respectfully beside him, "Father." ”

"Ah Man has grown a lot taller!" Xie Yuanmao turned his head to look at her, pulled her beside him and gestured down. Slightly surprised.

Xie Shuning smiled, "It's time to grow taller." ”

At the time of the reunion, the atmosphere seemed good.

It's a pity that Xie Yi is still in the academy and can't meet immediately.

However, before Xie Shuning could sigh a word, Xie Yuanmao said: "I forgot, Minmin is still inside." I wanted to go to meet you, but who knew how to teach that girl to draw, and forgot the time. ”

As soon as they finished speaking, a girl of six or seven years old came out of it with a cute ball-like hair, and greeted them one by one with a little blue dress.

"Mother, Eighth Sister."

Her eyes are clear, her speech is clear, and her voice is crisp.

Song responded with a smile and asked, "I heard that Min Min has started studying?" ”

Xie Yuanmao bowed his head, with undisguised joy between his eyebrows, "I don't read much, but I write well." After a pause, he added, "It's not bad compared to Aman." ”

When Xie Shuning heard this, he was noncommittal.

Along the way, her heart seemed to be caged with a layer of sandpaper, caged all this in front of her, vaguely making people unable to distinguish the context of the truth.

The changes in the house made her strange and alert.

But this is not the best time to explore.

She was tired.

The eyelids were heavy, as if they were about to stick together.

When the Song family saw it, they asked Yu Ziliu Huang to send her back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion first, and then she would talk about it when she got up after sleeping.

Xie Yuanmao knew that she had been injured, and when he saw this, he asked nervously: "After all this time, hasn't Aman's last injury healed?" ”

"The root of the disease has fallen." When Song heard him ask about this, he thought of the letter urging them to return to Beijing, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Xie Yuanmao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked Xie Shuning to go back and rest first, "Tomorrow, please invite Dr. Lu to come into the mansion to take a look, and prescribe some prescription food therapy." ”

Xie Shuning obediently responded and went back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

However, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion after a long absence is a little different from what she remembers.

The mother-in-law guarding the door leaned drowsy on the edge of the door, and it wasn't until Yuzi pushed her unhappily that she woke up, "Who?" ”

"Blind your dog's eyes, even the young lady doesn't recognize it!" Jade stomped her feet.

The mother-in-law looked at it, it was really her own miss, and she was overjoyed, "Oh my God, it's really Miss back!" ”

The sound alarmed the people inside, and before Xie Shuning and the others could go far, Zhuo's mother trotted over with someone to greet them.

"What's the matter, all this?" Xie Shuning was welcomed into the room, and after sitting down, she took the warm tea made by Zhuo's mother, and became puzzled.

Zhuo's mother knelt down with a "plop", "Slaves are useless!" (To be continued......)
