In the past few days, King Ling Jun and his wife and daughter have roughly sorted out the accounts in the mansion, and there are really a lot of problems, especially the procurement in the mansion. And the place where the most purchases are made is in the kitchen. The kitchen has always been managed by Lee. Ah Ning looked at the accounts and said to his father: "Daddy, there is a big problem with the purchase of this kitchen. ”

The king of the county took it and looked at it for a while before closing the account book, he sighed and said, "Ning'er, your second uncle has not been at home in the past few years, and your second aunt is alone at home to serve your grandmother and raise a few children, which is not easy." No matter what kind of accounts the kitchen is, no matter how much money your second aunt takes out of it, we don't have to pursue it, you and your mother can build a new account. ”

Linlang asked her husband, "Is the kitchen still managed by the second siblings?"

Ah Ning also said: "Daddy, if we don't let the second aunt take care of the kitchen in the future, it's not good." The people in the house will say that we treat our aunt harshly, unless we can tell what she did in the accounts. But we can't say. Ah Ning was a little distressed.

Linlang said with a smile: "I think it is better to let the second brother and sister continue to manage, but we can let the second brother and sister know that we don't know, but we don't pursue it, so as to see the after-effects." ”

The king of the county looked at his wife and daughter approvingly: "You can tolerate people and accommodate people, yes, you all think right, that's it, let the second brother and sister continue to manage the kitchen." Just tap it. Then he said to his wife, "Now we will settle the family affairs of the voyage." As for the accounts, let Ah Ning sort it out slowly. ”

The next day, King Lingjun handed a greeting post to Marquis Guan, and the next day, King Lingjun and his wife visited the Hou Mansion, accompanied by Ah Ning.

After breakfast, Yaru played in Aunt Wen's room. Aunt Wen felt that her daughter was older, and the little girl who was like a delicate flower should be matched with bright colors. So I made a delicate yellow dress for my daughter, and now I am persuading my daughter to wear it.

I didn't expect Yaru to say that she wouldn't wear anything. Yaru likes to color more plain, what light yellow, light blue, light green and so on. Yaru's aesthetic still bears the imprint of modernity, and she really doesn't like red, green, yellow and the like. Except for a few years ago when she wore yellow in order to coax the old marquis, she has never worn such a delicate dress again

She was entangled with the plague: "Mother, you see how earthy this color is, it is not elegant at all, and it has no temperament." My daughter is naturally beautiful, I am wearing clothes, it can't be that the clothes are too bright, and I am not dressed. You say, do others think my clothes are beautiful, or do people think my people are beautiful? ”

Aunt Wen had no choice but to say about her daughter: "Ru'er, why do you have so many crooked reasons, no wonder your father always calls you always reasonable daughters." Auntie really can't help you, but are you also distressed and distressed. Making clothes is hard and tiring for the eyes. Besides, this is the first time you have met your in-laws, so you have to be more solemn. ”

Yaru hurriedly made a pause posture: "Mother, stop it, I haven't made up my mind yet, where is the in-laws, don't let people listen to it, laugh at us." The lilac dress you made me last time was so beautiful that I haven't worn it once. I'll just wear it. Make sure it's beautiful, don't believe it, I'll wear it for you. ”

Without waiting for Wen to speak, she changed the dress she brought. Then he turned around in front of Wen and said to Wen proudly: "How is it, your daughter is beautiful." ”

Wen looked at her daughter's delicate little face, her skin was as creamy, and then she put on a lilac dress, lining her daughter like a fairy, and her temperament was not bad. She nodded her daughter in approval, and said to her daughter with a smile, "Okay, just let it be." Hurry up and dress up and go to meet the county king and princess. ”

Yaru naughtily stuck out her tongue at her aunt: "Obey, mother." "Yaru only calls Aunt Wen outside, and in private, she calls her mother directly. Wen Shitou didn't agree at first, so he asked his daughter to change her name to aunt, but she didn't beat her daughter in the end. Besides, Guan Houye also said that this is okay. And that's it.

Yaru dressed herself up, and went to call her sister to go with her to greet her grandfather and grandmother first, and then waited with everyone for the arrival of the prince and his wife.

Speaking of the friendship between the two families, it has been many years. Ling Yuanzhi's father, Lao Junwang and Guan Lao Marquis, were about the same age, both of them were military generals, one of them was guarding in the north to fight against the Xiongnu, and the other was guarding in the northwest to resist the invasion of Warat at any time. They are all upright generals, and they can't help but feel sorry for each other, so they gradually established a deep friendship. In the generation of Ling Yuanzhi and Guan Yunhe, Guan Yun and Shangbian Pass were the time when the Xiongnu invaded the northern border, and many generals were sent to the border pass, and Guan Yunhe went to the border pass without exception and became a general under the old county king's account, so the relationship between them became closer. Later, Ling Yuanzhi and Guan Yunhe were the first commander and the other deputy marshal at the border pass. The two get along like brothers.

This time the army returned to Beijing, and the two only got together for a short time, and agreed to wait for the prince of the county to marry and take the princess of the county to visit the Hou Mansion. Now the county king's mansion is basically busy for a while. King Ling Jun brought his wife and daughter to visit.

Guan Houye, with his wife and two daughters, greeted him at the door in person. Guan Yacheng is not at home, and his daughter-in-law Xiaosun is also here.

The carriage of the county king's mansion stopped, and from above came a young woman in her twenties, the woman was wearing a red blouse, and a navy blue satin brocade jacket on the top, embroidered with dense patterns, outside

It is a gold-rimmed pipa jacket. Under a pale yellow brocade skirt. A jasper bead hairpin on the Feiyun bun is simple and extravagant. Tall, with a goose-egg-shaped face, a pair of smart big eyes, and a fair complexion, very pretty. This is He Linlang, the princess of the county. She was followed by a young girl who had not yet grown up. This little girl is very beautiful. I saw that she was wearing a pink brocade jacket, with snow-white fox fur sewn at the corners, a cyan brocade skirt, long black hair tied into a lily bun, a red jade coral hairpin inserted into it, a pair of eyes as bright as stars, a small mouth, a straight and small nose, a smile and two sweet dimples. Don't ask, this is Miss A Ning from the County King's Mansion.

While the three members of Lingjun Wang's family came over, they were also looking at several female relatives in Houfu, especially the two young girls. A girl is slightly taller, with a melon seed face, big eyes, and a beautiful girl in a pale green shirt, her face is similar to Mrs. Hou next to her Wang, no need to ask if this girl must be Mrs. Wang's Miss Guan Yayi. Another little girl with smart big apricot eyes and a lilac shirt should be Guan Yaru, the third lady of the Hou Mansion who was set by the voyage.

Hou Ye and his wife hurriedly greeted him. The two texts greeted each other and introduced each other. Mrs. Wang was a little surprised, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, are the women in this pass so good-looking, how can the women from the border pass who she saw one or two are so beautiful. It doesn't matter if Aunt Wen is a beauty. This He Linlang is fighting and killing in the border city, and she is also a beauty. This Mrs. Wang is full of curiosity about Linlang. What kind of woman is this, who actually let King Lingjun, who has not been renewing for more than ten years, marry to be the princess of the county. Mrs. Wang felt that this woman must not be simple.

He Linlang gave the prepared gifts to Xiao Sun, Yayi and Yaru respectively. Xiao Sun's is a jasper hairpin, and Yayi and Yaru are bracelets. But the bracelets for the two girls are different. It was given to Ayx and Jasper bracelet to Aru. In this era, agate was very rare, so it was very valuable. On the surface, Yayi is a concubine, and the bracelet she gave is relatively expensive. But only the prince and his wife themselves know. The jasper given to Yaru was not an ordinary jade, but a rare Hetian jade, and the layman couldn't see it at all. And this bracelet is not an ordinary bracelet, this is the daughter-in-law of the Ling family, and this is what the master of Changxing once wore. The king of the county took it out that day, and He Linlang was not easy to wear, so the two discussed it and passed it directly to Yaru. It just so happened that Yaru was the closest to He Linlang now, and He Linlang seemed to be inadvertent, and put it on Yaru casually, and others didn't care much.

Over there, Mrs. Wang took Ah Ning's little hand. looked up and down, and saw that the little girl opposite was about the same age as Yaru, and the girl had a small face and bright eyes. Psychological secret channel: This child is really a copy of the leader of Changxing back then. The lord of Changxing was a well-known talented and beautiful woman in the capital, and how many famous families wanted to hire them as clan women, but they didn't expect a holy decree to let the first emperor point it to Ling Yuanxing, the prince of the county palace at that time. What is even more unexpected is that the county lord of Changxing died of illness at a young age, which is sighing and embarrassing.

After a little greeting, Guan Hou Ye and his wife led the guests inside. I went to meet the old marquis and his wife first. Then several elders went to the front hall to talk, and Xiao Sun was busy entertaining. And the three little girls were allowed to move freely by Guan Houye, Guan Houye himself is a child, and he thinks that the little girl's family is here to accompany her, and she is quickly restrained, so let's have fun.

The three girls came out happily. It's strange to say that the three girls didn't have the strangeness of meeting for the first time, and soon the three of them were affectionate, as if they had known each other for a long time and were familiar, so that the girls who followed next to them were secretly surprised, and felt that this was really a wonderful fate.

There is a plum grove behind the Hou Mansion, and now the plum trees are already accumulating flowers and bones, and they will bloom in a few days. The three girls were playing in and out of the Merlin, very happy. In particular, Yaru and A Ning's temperaments are somewhat similar, and they are both lively personalities. And Yayi is not rigid, otherwise the two sisters would not be able to play together. The three of them frolicked in Merlin for a while, and Aru proposed to go to his courtyard to talk.

Yaru is a very hospitable little host, she asked the girl to take out her treasured chrysanthemum tea and make tea for the guests herself. Ah Ning took a sip and looked at Yaru: "The taste is mellow and slightly sweet, not bad, does Aru still like to collect flower tea?"

Yaru said with a smile: "Yes, the camellia is affordable and delicious, and it is also beautiful, and my second sister and I like to collect it." A-Ning, you have to get used to drinking. I have quite a few more. Bring you some back to drink. ”

Yayi also smiled and said: "Ah Ning is the most naughty when she is young, she likes to farm and look at flowers." I remember that not long after my eldest sister got married, my sister once invited us to her house to enjoy chrysanthemums. Aru told her sister that she was going to collect chrysanthemums to drink, and my sister and I thought she was joking. Chrysanthemums are seen, how can they be picked to make tea and drink. But the eldest sister also felt sorry for us, so we collected some at her house. I didn't expect this chrysanthemum tea to be really delicious, and then when it came to the chrysanthemum season, the eldest sister had to find a way to collect some flower tea and send it to us. We ourselves planted a large patch of chrysanthemums in the village on the outskirts. It is collected every year to make tea.

Ah Ning couldn't help but be envious: "Your sisterhood is so good." He picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's really delicious, then I'm welcome, Aru will wrap some for me to drink." ”

Aru said mischievously, "Yes." ”

Yayi also said, "Pack more." Go back and let the princess of the county taste it. I still have that, Aru can drink mine. ”

Ah Ning hurriedly thanked him. After lunch, the county king's family left.
