Chen Mansion is a famous scholarly door in Hechun City, its ethnicity is famous at the top of Hechun City, Hechun City people are proud of entering the Chen family, the same Chen family has a women's boudoir school, the daughters of the Chen family have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the boudoir every day, and can learn female red embroidery, cooking skills and so on according to their own preferences.

Several ladies in Jing'an Hall were chatting with the old lady lively, and several young masters and ladies from the clan study returned from school and entered Jing'an Hall to greet Mrs. Chen.

"Mother." Chen Ningke shouted cordially when he saw his mother returning.

"Okay." Xu looked at his daughter and nodded lovingly.

"Brother Ze, come over and let my mother take a look." Xu said eagerly, looking at the little son who walked in.

Chen Yuanze looked at his mother, with mixed feelings, and stepped forward to greet him: "My son asks my mother for peace." ”

"Did you study well, kid? Look at your skinny, are you not using your meal well? Can you be naughty? Your grandmother is not in good health, so don't be naughty enough to make her sad. Xu looked at his youngest son, his eyes seemed to fall on him, looking up and down, left and right, even if he had doubts, his words were full of thousands of words of care.

She felt guilty about this son.

"Mother, son is fine." In the face of his mother's concern, Chen Yuanze felt uncomfortable for a moment, he was even unfamiliar with his mother.

"Don't be naughty in the future, let Grandmother hurt her spirits." Xu told her that she had heard a lot about her son in the capital, such as dressing up like a girl with eyebrows and lips, and not liking to go to school.

Every time she listens to it, she can't help but feel sad, but unfortunately there is a big family in the capital waiting for her to take care of, and she can't bring her son to her side.

"Yes, my son knows." Chen Yuanze replied solemnly, compared to Xu's, his words were less than half cordial.

"Brother Ze, come to grandmother." Old Madam Chen called.

"Grandmother." Chen Yuanze shouted happily.

Mrs. Chen pulled her grandson to her side and sat down, and asked with concern, "Are you still used to being in the school today?" What does the gentleman say? What about the meals? ”

"Very good, Mr. taught me very well, and my brothers also took good care of me, but my grandson misses my grandmother." Chen Yuanze coquettishly said in Mrs. Chen's arms, talking to her affectionately, without being alienated from his mother's side at all.

"You monkey." Old Madam Chen laughed when she heard this, and asked carefully about the broken locks in the school.

"Our Ze brother is really powerful, and he will definitely be a champion in the future." The fifth lady looked at the affectionate grandfather and grandson, and covered her mouth to flatter.

Mrs. Chen, ask a question, Chen Yuanze replied, from time to time to be coquettish, begging for a trick, everyone is used to it, the old lady treats the children in the long room differently, the second room is better, and the other children in the third room The old lady is too lazy to take a look.

But Xu couldn't help but feel sad when he saw it, and his heart was not a good feeling, his son was not close to him.

While talking, Zilian, the eldest girl in Jing'an Hall, came in and replied: "The mother-in-law sent to Dr. Xiao's house is back, and she also brought back Dr. Xiao's return gift." ”

Zilian looked at the old lady with a strange expression, not knowing whether to talk about it or not.

"Huh! This Dr. Xiao was really polite, and he came back with a gift. Liu said with a smile, and glanced at Chen Yuanze, who was talking to the old lady.

Seeing Mrs. Chen and Chen Yuanze looking over, Liu asked again, "But what did you send back?" ”

"It's some fruit wine and canned food, and some flower tea." Zilian replied.

"My sister sent it to me, and she promised to give it to me." Chen Yuanze stood up excitedly when he heard this, wanting to take a look, but was stopped by Mrs. Chen.

Old Madam Chen grabbed her grandson and said with a smile: "You naughty monkey, where is the need for you to go in person, ask them to move in, and we will all see what kind of good things Dr. Xiao has sent to you." ”

"What my mother said is that I just want to ask how Dr. Xiao's family is." Liu smiled.

Chen Yuanze was helpless, so he had to say: "Then don't rob me, my sister gave it to me." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

"Okay, I don't want to rob you, look at your stinginess."

Xu Shi frowned when he heard what his son said, it was really as Liu said, Brother Ze was really close to Xiao Ming, and he screamed one sister after another.

Liu's mother Wang carried a basket containing a few packs of flower tea sent back by Xiao Ming, Chen Feng picked up a few packs of chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle and wolfberry, and sent Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang into the inner door.

Mother Wang took Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang to wait outside the door of Jing'an Hall, she was the housekeeper of the second lady's side, and when she saw Zilian coming out of the courtyard from a distance, she whispered: "Seeing the old lady and the ladies, you should be careful, you have to think about what to say and what not to say, but don't be beaten by the board." “

Mrs. Wang is still her cousin, but she has different statuses now, she has a face next to the second lady and is a steward, while her cousin is clumsy and stout, and she only received a rough errand for the mother-in-law of the nursing home.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang held a jar of fruit wine and canned food, and nodded again and again.

"Mother Wang, Madame let you in." Zilian said.

"Thank you, Miss Zilian, the old man will take them in."

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang cautiously followed Mother Wang into the house, their heads hung low along the way, they were just mothers-in-law guarding the courtyard in the inner courtyard, and it was the first time they entered the old lady's Jing'an Hall.

"Say hello to the old lady and the lady." Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang knelt down when they entered the house, and they didn't dare to lift their heads.

"Old lady, ladies are the two mothers-in-law who escorted Dr. Xiao back to Pingcheng." Mother Wang replied, "These two people are too ignorant, and they actually brought back the return gift from Dr. Xiao with the horse-drawn horse in the house, and the carriage was loaded with nearly thirty jars of fruit wine. “

Liu frowned, her face was displeased, the carriage was for her travel, in order to show her attention to Xiao Ming, she deliberately used her own carriage to give it away, but she didn't expect it to be used to pull things back, look at this dusty wine jar, she could smell the smell of wine on the carriage.

Liu looked at the things brought by a few people and said, "How is Dr. Xiao's family?" These are the gifts that are brought back. “

"Mrs. Hui, Mrs., Dr. Xiao has a three-entry courtyard in Liujia Village, there are several servants at home, and there are hundreds of acres of orchards outside the door, these fruit wines, canned food, and flower tea are all grown by their own family." Mrs. Li hurriedly said that Mrs. Wang, who was with her, was not good at words, and she always spoke back.

Liu is angry, what is this called? Her expensive carriage is used to hold all these country things, really? These two old goods are embarrassed to pull them back.
