The one-eyed dragon still felt that he could bargain for two cents when he came over today, but he was busy working in vain, and when he saw that Hu Jianniang was becoming more and more unpleasant, he spat her and left with a scolding and sighing.

Hu Jianniang glanced at Sister Hu Chun resentfully, didn't say anything, trotted and walked behind the one-eyed dragon.

Several family members went back and forth to carry the heavy yellow tung wood box, which was carved with auspicious patterns, looking simple and atmospheric. They only brought two carts with them, and there were really some that were not enough to put them.

At first, when Sister Hu Chun first picked up the army, there was a rough mother-in-law who muttered that there was something to pick up, and Qiaofu was not lacking in everything, where are these rural things compared?

At that time, Sister Hu Chun just glanced at her and didn't say anything, but the expensive fabrics and delicate clothes picked up on the palm of her hand made the mother-in-law gradually change her complexion, shut up, and honestly help pick it up.

Later, when she helped pick up Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia's many valuable jewelry, she was completely honest.

One after another brass wooden boxes were moved out, Mrs. Qi frowned, and said with a little disapproval: "Lady Hu, there are really a lot of people in this line, but I'm afraid that all of them won't be able to sit down." ”

Song Guizhi has been honest and abnormal these days, she has always been afraid that Sister Hu Chun will leave her, and when she leaves, she determined that it is impossible to leave her, so she regained her lively temperament.

She glanced at Mrs. Qi and said with a smile: "Aunt Qi, our young lady still has a lot of things that haven't been put on." But you don't have to worry, our lady has hired two more chariots from the carriage and horse dealership, which is enough. ”

The cheerfulness in the words made Mrs. Qi frown unhappily, and glanced at Song Guizhi with some sternness, but now this is still not a servant in her own house, Mrs. Qi suppressed the dissatisfaction and didn't say anything.

Carrying the troops, there were really two spacious trucks coming from the village. The family members carried things neatly with their hands and feet, plus a cart in Qiao's house, and the three carts were full.

Sister Hu Chun said with satisfaction: "It's just right." Aunt Qi, you and Aunt Hong are still in the car you came. "Aunt Hong is another rough mother-in-law.

Hu Lezong looked at his children and opened his mouth.

Hu Bincheng has always been sticky to Hu Lezong, he glanced at his eldest sister, and when he saw the eldest sister looking at him encouragingly, he mustered up the courage to ask Hu Lezong: "Father, why don't you come and take a ride with us?"

It is exactly what Hu Lezong wants.

Therefore, Hu Chun's sisters and brothers sat in one with Hu Lezong, Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Hong sat in one with Grandma Song and Song Guizhi, and several family members were responsible for catching the car.

In the eyes of Hujiazhuang or envy or jealousy, the convoy of the Hu family's second house set off slowly and drove away from Hujiazhuang.

Hu Lezong is still the first time to take the car customized by Sister Hu Chun, he looked left and right, and couldn't stop admiring: "This mind is a coincidence, Yin Yin loves motion sickness every time she travels, and she can take this car when she goes out in the future, and it is expected that it will be better." ”

The atmosphere in the carriage froze slightly.

After getting along for a few days, Sister Hu Chun and the others have learned that their father and Qiao's little daughter are named Qiao Yuyin, nicknamed Yinyin. Hu Lezong looks very fond of this little girl, and often mentions that Yin Yin is long and Yin Yin is short.

Although Hu Bincheng has some tastes, he knows that he is a boy, not to mention that he is his own little sister, and he can't compete with her for favor. He also specially prepared an ink inkstone for the unmasked little sister, which was his first in the annual examination, and Wang Laosheng gave him a special award, which he has always regarded as a treasure, and offered it on the brocade rack in the house, and his love is extraordinary.

"Father, that Joe...... What kind of person is Auntie?" Sister Hu Chun poured a porcelain cup of tea for Hu Lezong and asked.

She really didn't know what to call that Qiao, so she simply called her Aunt Qiao.

The relationship between the stepmother and the stepchild has always been a problem, although she is not the kind of troublemaker, but she also wants to know what the stepmother is like, so that she can give her little brother and sister a preventive shot in advance.

At the mention of Qiao's family, Hu Lezong's expression softened by two points, he didn't pick the thorn in the title of the eldest daughter, and said with a smile: "Your Aunt Qiao is a very virtuous person...... She's gentle and pure, and you're sure to get along very well. ”

Sister Hu Xia nodded sensibly, "I will respect her." ”

Hu Bincheng lost his mother at a very young age, and only had a vague memory, he listened to Hu Lezong's description, and he also had an abnormal longing for Qiao's family.

Sister Hu Chun smiled lightly, if people were like what her cheap father described, then it would be better.

When the car passed by the ruined temple at the head of the village, Sister Hu Xia suddenly shouted: "Grandpa Song, stop here for a while." ”

Outside, Grandpa Song raised his whip when he heard the words and stopped eating the horse.

Sister Hu Xia cautiously took out a package of braised pork from the gloom of the carriage, which was specially cut by Grandma Song, so that several children were eating and playing on the road.

Sister Hu Xia looked at the eldest sister: "Eldest sister, we are leaving, I want to go and worship the gods and Buddhas." ”

Sister Hu Chun nodded.

Sister Hu Xia said hello to Hu Lezong, and got out of the car with the bag of braised pork.

"Sister Xia believes in Buddhism?" asked Hu Lezong puzzled.

Sister Hu Chun looked at the figure of the little sister who knelt down in front of the broken Buddha statue reverently, and said lightly: "A few years ago, the winter milk drove us out of the house, if it weren't for the cloth on the table for the gods and Buddhas to block the wind and cold, I'm afraid we would have frozen to death...... Since then, Sister Xia has sometimes come to worship the gods and Buddhas. ”

Hu Lezong pondered the scene at that time, his heart was full of sorrow, and he swore gloomily in his heart that he would never let these children encounter such a thing again.

In the past few days, Qiao's mansion has been very busy.

In order to clean up the courtyard for Hu Chun's sisters and brothers, Qiao's hostess, Qiao's house, has the body of Ling Yue, although the fetus is not very stable, she is still personally dispatched up and down.

The servants in the palace praised his mother for being more virtuous, and took all the children of the husband and wife to raise them—the house had already received the news that the wife they had married at the beginning had died, leaving their children alone and miserable, and they were already on the way to the house.

In order to clean the yard for the children, many servants in the house were busy with their feet not sticking to the ground. Before the Lord came, they were already gloomy and weary of it.

It's not their Qiao Mansion real little master, with good treatment!

Qiao Shi was wearing a homely embroidered makeup dress, leaning in a carved chair, and a mother-in-law behind her was gently helping her press her temples.

The woman's face was full of heartache and she persuaded: "Miss, you can just make an appearance." Why do you have to be so tired of yourself, you still have a little master in your belly. ”

Qiao Shi closed his eyes and looked indifferent: "Aunt Lu, that's not what you said. If I only pretend to be a person, sooner or later the clues will appear, and the officials will be cold to me when they see it. Still, how many times have you talked about it, calling me Mrs. ”

"Yes, ma'am. Mrs. Lu didn't dare to talk about anything more, so she only became more and more careful to rub Qiao's head.

"Mother, mother~"

A little lady wearing a goose yellow sprinkled flower smoke shirt ran into the hall, and wanted to pounce in Qiao's arms, but the mother-in-law who followed behind the frightened little lady pulled the little lady one after another, "My eldest lady, my wife is pregnant with a baby in her belly, but I can't stand your pounce." ”

The little lady stood aside very unhappily and pouted: "My mother has a baby, so I don't like Yin Yin anymore." ”

Qiao Shi hurriedly pulled the little lady to the side, hugged her, and coaxed: "Yin Yin, where will my mother not like you." It's just that my mother is not in good health now, and my mother will play with you after a few days. ”

Qiao Yuyin pouted, and reluctantly nodded in response, "Okay." She grabbed her mother's knee and said boringly, "Father has been out for so long, why still doesn't he come back." ”

As soon as she thought of what Lang Jun had gone out to do, Qiao's heart was very uncomfortable, and she smiled reluctantly: "Have you forgotten what your mother told you? Your father went to pick up your brother and sister, and he will be back very soon." ”

The four words of brother and sister seemed to touch Qiao Yuyin's nerves, she jumped out of Qiao's arms, stomped her feet and said: "Yin Yin doesn't want any brother and sister! Yin Yin doesn't want it! Who knows where it came from!"

"Yin Yin!" Qiao Shi bluffed in the face, "That's your brother and sister, how can you talk like this!"

Qiao Yuyin has always been pampered, and when she saw her mother talking about her for those few people she had never met, she became more and more uncomfortable. She wiped her tears and said: "It's enough to have a little brother and share the favor of his father and mother, and now I still want to come again brother and sister, you all don't like Yin Yin!"

As he spoke, he turned around and ran out.

Qiao Shi hurriedly said: "Still don't hurry up and follow!" Several mothers-in-law hurriedly responded and chased Qiao Yuyin out.

Qiao's heart was abnormally tired, and he supported his head with his hand and sighed.

If she could, she wouldn't want to take those children into the house!

At that time, Lang Jun recovered her memories, and she was also terrified for a few days, taking advantage of Lang Jun's injuries on the kang and not being able to move, she sent someone to Lahujiazhuang to investigate in the dark, only to know that the wife Lang Jun married at first died a few years after he disappeared.

Qiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief at this point.

Otherwise, she really doesn't know what she counts!

Is it that Hu Lezong broke the law by stopping his wife and marrying another, or is her marriage certificate with him invalid, and she is considered a concubine?

Qiao Shi simply made a generous appearance, saying that he was willing to be small.

In fact, she is very clear, that person is all dead, and naturally no one will come out to ask her to be small!

As for those children, isn't it inconvenient to feed a few mouthfuls of food? There is a disagreement between him and the official couple, or if he is generous, the official can also read her two points.

However, she forgot that her daughter Yin Yin's pampered temperament, it took a lot of effort for her to accept it in her belly, and suddenly her brother and sister came out, and she couldn't accept the abnormality.

Qiao sighed.

No matter what the people in Qiao's Mansion were, the convoy carrying Hu Chun's sisters and brothers had already slowly entered Dangjun.

Dangjun is the capital city, naturally not the small county capital at the beginning can be compared, the streets are lined up one after another, the sound of selling comes and goes, and the pedestrians are endless, so it is a lively and prosperous scene.

Sister Hu Xia lifted the corner of the car curtain and peeked outside with Hu Bincheng.

Seeing this, Hu Lezong hurriedly said: "After a few days of settling down, I will take you to the street for a walk, there are a few wineries that are delicious, Yin Yin pestered me every once in a while to take her out of the restaurant." ”

Hu Bincheng was extremely excited and nodded one after another.

Sister Hu Xia smiled at Hu Lezong with some shyness, and then looked out the window.

Qiao's Mansion is a branch of the Qiao's family, and it was divided into houses early. Mrs. Jiao made money in a good way, and ran Qiao's Mansion into what it is today, accounting for most of the alleys.

The carriage stopped at the main gate of Zhu Qi, and Hu Lezong took the lead in jumping off the carriage, then handed his hand over and took the children one by one.

There are two stone lions squatting by the door of Qiao's mansion, and two hydrangeas are pressed under their claws, which are lifelike.

Song Guizhi got out of the car, ran to Sister Hu Xia'er with a cigarette, and said, "This stone lion is still more magnificent than the door of the main house before me." ”

Song Guizhi's first main family was the Sanpin official in Beijing, and the financial resources of Qiao's mansion can be seen.

Mrs. Qi, who got out of the car, pouted contemptuously.

Someone had already reported it, and after a short time, the main gate was wide open, and it was Qiao Shi who brought someone out in person.

Her eyes flashed with tears, and her eyes at Hu Lezong were full of affection. Hu Lezong was also very moved, greeted him, and stroked Qiao's: "Why did you come out? ”

Qiao Shi chuckled, "It's out of the way." ”

She looked at the child behind Hu Lezong, and immediately she was stunned.

That's what it looks like...... It's a little too eye-catching.

The two of them are okay, but they are young. The older one, although the age is not very old, actually has the color of the city, and the eyebrows are all unusual, and the people are so stunned.

"This, this is the child, right?" It took a long time for Qiao Shi to find his voice, which was slightly dry.

The appearance of the children is all so outstanding, you can imagine what the dead Meng Shi looks like.

Official, should you love her very much?

Hu Lezong didn't hear the bitterness in Qiao's words, and said proudly: "This is my child." Sister Chun and Sister Xia, Brother Bin, come and say hello to Aunt Qiao. ”

Qiao listened to the title of "Aunt Qiao", because Hu Lezong did not let Meng's children call her mother or wife, and because of this heart.

"Aunt Qiao is good. Sister Hu Chun politely greeted Qiao's family.

Qiao Shijun reluctantly said with a smile: "You are also good...... All are good children, I have prepared a greeting for you, come, go in and I will bring it to you. ”

Hu Lezong saw that his wife and children were so harmonious, and he was also relieved, looked around, and said strangely: "Madam, where is Yin Yin?"

The smile on Qiao's face almost couldn't be hung up.

How could she tell Hu Lezong that after Yin Yin knew that a few brothers and sisters were going to come a few days ago, she had a big temper, and she hid early in the morning today.

Qiao's only made a dizzy look, and the frightened Hu Lezong hurriedly caressed her, and several maids were also busy.

Hu Xia's sister Hu Bincheng is still young, and her mind is pure, and she has no ill will towards the woman who is about to become their stepmother. They also looked anxiously at the adult who helped the mess, not knowing what to do.

Sister Hu Chun lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Due to Qiao's sudden discomfort, the banquet for Sister Hu Chun and her family was canceled by Hu Lezong.

Qiao Shi knew the information and insisted on getting up from the kang: "The children have just entered the house, how can they be neglected like this." ”

Hu Lezong lightly used his strength in the palm of his hand, pressed Qiao's back to the kang, and said with concern: "The family doesn't care about those false courtesies, you can rest now." ”

Qiao's heart was very happy for this Hu Lezong's care, and he made a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's not good ...... like this."

Hu Lezong felt a pang in his heart, his wife was so uncomfortable that she was pregnant and still thinking about his children, he was very useful, he smiled and said: "It's nothing, those children are all reasonable and good children, I will talk to them." ”

When Qiao Shi heard this, his heart was a little uncomfortable. She suppressed the wisp of energy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Yin Yin should learn from her brothers and sisters, and asked you every day when you will come back a few days ago, but I am afraid that I will miss out on these days, and I am afraid that you don't want her." I secretly opened the window the night before yesterday, saying that you would come back to care for her if she was frostbitten...... This kid is really uncomfortable. ”

Hu Lezong's mind immediately took away the awkward little girl, and asked worriedly, "Yin Yin is not sick?"

"No, the girl who accompanied the kang at night found out early. If you want me to be punished, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll have trouble with me today. ”

"Yin Yin is only 6 years old, still young. I'm going to see her. Hu Lezong sighed, "I haven't seen you these days, and I think Yin Yin is abnormal." ”

He adjusted the big pillow behind Qiao's back, and asked her to lean comfortably, so he went out to find Qiao Yuyin.

When Mrs. Qi saw that the grandfather was gone, she came over from the side, went to Qiao's kang, and whispered to Qiao's about the situation of the Hu sisters.

Qiao Shi listened with her eyes half-closed, listening to Mrs. Qi angrily saying that the old people of the Hu family were greedy, and the master didn't have to block their mouths with money, she opened her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi was silent for a moment.

"How many times have I said it, Qiao's Mansion is mine, and it is also your grandfather's, and it is his freedom to spend the money in the mansion as he likes. Qiao said lightly.

Mrs. Qi knelt down for a moment, kowtowed, and said, "Mrs. is right, it's the slave who wants to fork." It's the minions who want to go wrong. ”

Qiao Shi closed his eyes and didn't look at Mrs. Qi: "Aunt Qi is a dusty servant, and she is tired, so go down and rest." ”

In the sneering gaze of the competitor Lu Poniang, Qi Poniang lowered her head and retreated.

No, not to mention, the courtyard prepared by Qiaofu for Hu Chun's sisters and brothers is the best choice regardless of the geographical location in the mansion or the size of the courtyard.

Not to mention the decoration inside, it is rumored that it is a precious object that Qiao's opened the treasury and personally selected for his sisters and brothers, and it looks more luxurious than the main courtyard.

After the sisters and brothers all supported the courtyard, and the servants helped to put the troops in their respective warehouses, Hu Bincheng went around the courtyard, followed by a few family members, and Sister Hu Chun was not worried.

Sister Hu Xia and the eldest sister sat on the stone pestle under the shelf in the courtyard, and several maids in Qiao's mansion came up to serve with fruit saucers and fans, although Sister Hu Xia was a little embarrassed, she still insisted that they retreat first.

She still has some things she wants to say to her eldest sister, and she doesn't want to let outsiders hear it.

A few maids stood far away, looking at this side, muttering in their hearts, these two new young ladies are born with first-class beauty, especially the older one, Meiyu is called a delicate, almost compared to the ladies of Dangjun.

Song Guizhi glanced at the maid rings with some meaning, and stood behind Sister Hu Chun very diligently: "Miss, it's a long journey, I'll help you pinch your back." With full strength, she helped Sister Hu Chun rub her shoulders.

She wants to prove that she is different from those girls!

Sister Hu Chun is not very tired, but Song Guizhi is like this, she can probably guess the thoughts of Xiao Nier, so she didn't stop it.

Sister Hu Xia was a little worried: "Eldest sister, you say, Aunt Qiao is okay?"

Sister Hu Chun smiled lightly: "Don't worry, didn't my father invite Lang Zhong to come over?...... Sister Xia, are you panicking?"

Sister Hu Xia said sincerely: "There is some panic. She spoke softly, with a hint of sorrow as a little girl, and whispered to Sister Hu Chun about her own worries, "Actually, I have some worries that she doesn't love us......"

Sister Hu Chun patted the back of Sister Hu Xia's palm: "Don't think about it, feelings always have to get along slowly." Let's just live as usual, and just look at her as an elder and revere her......"

Before the words fell, a small stone flew from the side and smashed into Sister Hu Chun's head.

The small stone grains are not big, but they flew straight over and hit her head, and Sister Hu Chun sighed in pain.

Song Guizhi was startled, and instinctively took a step backwards.

Sister Hu Xia hurriedly went over to see the place where Sister Hu Chun hit, and asked quickly, "Eldest sister, are you okay?"

Sister Hu Chun frowned at the corners of her eyebrows while rubbing the place where she was hit, and instinctively looked in the direction where the stones were flying, and saw a little girl hiding behind the door of the arched courtyard, showing half of her body, looking at her vigilantly.

The maids who were sent away from afar seemed to have noticed the noise here, and came over to take a look, and were shocked: "Miss!"

When the little girl saw that she was called a person, she reluctantly came out from behind the courtyard door, and looked at Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia with hostility: "Don't think that you can snatch my father away because you look good!"

It seems that this is about the half-sister Qiao Yuyin.

There was a slight pain on the forehead, but the skin was not broken, only a piece of bruising. Sister Hu Xia rubbed her head to Sister Hu Chun with some heartache, and looked at Qiao Yuyin with some anger, she had never blackened her face with anyone, and now even if she was angry, she only said in a deep voice: "Are you Yinyin?"

She remembered that when she was a child, she had also smashed Hu Lucheng with a stone, and that time it was Wang Suchen who blocked it for her.

Bad memories came to mind, and Sister Hu Xia bit her lower lip.

Qiao Yuyin didn't say anything yet, several maids were already hula-la-la, all of them were around, protecting Qiao Yuyin, and looked at Sister Hu Xia and Sister Hu Chun vigilantly, as if they were afraid that they would break out and beat people.

Song Guizhi was really angry, she stomped her foot: "Hey, what are you doing here?

A girl wearing a peach and vermilion armor with a silver hairpin on her head smiled: "Look at what this little sister said, they are all sisters of the family, where do you say that it doesn't hurt." ”

"Sister Yingchun is right. The young lady is still young, and there are a lot of adults in Hu's daughters, so don't be like children. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

A few little girls also chattered along.

Song Guizhi's angry head was about to smoke. She stomped her foot and wanted to lose her temper, but she saw Hu Lezong striding over by the gate of the courtyard, and was very surprised to see Qiao Yuyin: "Yin Yin, you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time." ”

A few maids hurriedly attended the ceremony.

Qiao Yuyin looked at Hu Lezong with a smile, pouting and ignoring him.

Hu Lezong picked up the little girl and kissed her on the cheek: "What's wrong with Yin Yin? I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you still have a little temper with your father?"

He looked up and saw that the eldest daughter and the second daughter were also there, he didn't notice Sister Hu Chun's abnormality, and said with a smile: "I also wanted to introduce your sisters to each other at the family banquet, who wants to see it now, it can be seen that your sisters are really fateful." ”

Qiao Yuyin twisted her body on Hu Lezong's body like candy, and said angrily: "I don't have any big sister!"

"Yinyin. Hu Lezong coaxed for a long time, Qiao Yuyin didn't make a sound on Hu Lezong's shoulder, but she secretly turned her face and gave Sister Hu Chun and Sister Hu Xia a meaningful look.

Song Guizhi's eyes widened.

Sister Hu Xia looked at Hu Lezong, and a look of disappointment gradually appeared in her eyes.

When he saw Qiao Yuyin, Hu Lezong's eyes seemed to be missing the two sisters.

Qiao Yuyin, who was coaxed, had a smile on her face, and only then did Hu Lezong put Qiao Yuyin down, took her palm, and walked over, wanting to ask the eldest daughter if their ranks were settled.
