May in Jiankang City has begun to be sweltering, and in a moment, the masters of other mansions are taking a lunch break at this moment, and the Zhou Mansion of the Duli Ministry is not the same as usual!

The women of the courtyard gathered in the Yayun Pavilion, from the housewife to the personal maid, all of them looked dignified!

Yayun Pavilion is a place for major events in the Fuzhong House and family gatherings.

The masters and ladies of the house all sat on both sides, and on the second seat of the main seat, there was a person dressed in a blue auspicious cloud brocade suit, looking at the woman in plain clothes standing in the middle of the room with a little disgust between his eyebrows.

"Lou girl, huh? The old lady's favorite is your mother, and now she is gone, and her white-haired person sent the black-haired person to suffer a lot of blows, maybe your face is too similar to your mother, so the old lady saw it excited, and fainted. ”

Shen Xinlou lowered his head when he heard the sound, and his eyes were a little moist.

Today is the day she first entered Zhou's house.

This is the Zhou Mansion in Jiankang City, the national capital, her uncle's house! She was left alone here by her mother's deathbed!

Xinlou was originally the daughter of Shen Zhi of Yuzhou Zhi, but her father spoiled her concubine and killed her wife, although she was a concubine, she was never loved by her father, and her mother was seriously ill.

Mother cut off contact with the family because of her father, and Xinlou's grandmother and uncle had always existed only in her mother's mouth, and she had fantasized many times about going back to Jiankang with her mother to visit her kind grandmother, but ...... This day finally came, but she came alone, and there was no mother by her side!

The person who spoke just now was Xinlou's aunt Guan Shi, Guan Shi glanced at Xinlou, and continued: "My sister-in-law has not been in contact with the family for many years, but since she entrusted you to the Zhou family, this will be your home in the future. ”

The tone is full of disgust, Xinlou is not stupid, the first mother mentioned very little to her eldest aunt when she was alive, and her mother has not contacted her mother's family for many years, and now she enters the house in plain clothes, and her aunt thinks that it is normal for her to be unlucky.

Curtsy bowed, and the heart should go down: "Thank you, aunt!" ”

Guan didn't want to deal with her very much, so he waved his hand and asked Mama Li next to her to introduce her to the women sitting on both sides of her one by one.

The eldest uncle has a wife and a concubine, the wife is the main mother Guan, the eldest daughter Zhou Yan'an and the only male in the grandchildren of the house, Zhou Zhi'an, and the concubine is Zhou Shu'an, the second daughter of Qiu's eldest house.

Xu is a man with a more solid skin, and he has not been here today, but these female relatives in the big house are not very happy to see the heart building.

The second uncle has only one wife and one daughter, Zhou Yu'an, but the attitude of these two mothers and daughters towards Xinlou is very friendly.

After seeing the ceremony, Guan directly asked Mama Li to take her to Lanxin Courtyard, where her mother lived before.

Mama Li led her to Lanxin Courtyard and told her about the situation in the house.

"The lady in the house, the cousin, you have seen it, the old slave is not much nonsense, the little boy is naughty, he has not arrived today, the eldest lord is serving as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he is busy with official business, and the second master is guarding the border and rarely returns to the house......"

Xinlou listened to Mama Li's introduction while looking at the structure of the house.

The eaves of this house are green tiles, and the sandalwood partition window beams and columns are also finely carved with carved patterns; The round door enters, it is the back house, the left and right divide the road in two corner corridors, there is a pond of lotus in the middle of the house, a rockery is built in the middle of the lotus pond, the clear water continues to gush out from the periphery of the rockery, the shape is different, it is very good-looking.

Xinlou once heard her mother mention that her grandmother loved her very much, because she loved lotus, so she built this pool of lotus for her in the courtyard of the house......

The warm breeze rolled, with a fragrance of lotus, which made her shake her mind for a while!

Mama Li led her all the way into Lanxin Courtyard, and the layout of this courtyard is very similar to that of Yuzhou.

"This is the yard where your mother lived back then, and the old lady misses the girl, which has been kept for so many years, and is often cleaned, and you live here, if you lack anything or something, you can talk to the old slave or the housekeeper."

I haven't touched this house for seventeen years, and it really hurts my mother to think about my grandmother.

bowed slightly, and thanked Mama Li in her heart.

Just as she was about to tidy up her things, Mama Li seemed to remember something, and turned around and called Xinlou again: "Cousin! ”

Xinlou heard the sound, paused, and turned to look at Mama Li in confusion.

Mama Li took a few steps forward and curtsied: "What the eldest lady means, you don't want to visit the old lady in recent days, you have also seen the situation today, in the end, it is an elderly person, who can't withstand a few stimuli, and after the old lady is emotionally stable, the lady will send someone to inform you, and then go to the old lady to say goodbye!" ”

What her aunt was worried about, Xinlou also understood, as soon as she saw her grandmother today, her grandmother fainted, and she was old and couldn't stimulate herself.

Nodding in response, Mama Li looked at it and didn't want to stay longer.

As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, she met Coriander who was carrying Xinlou's luggage into the hospital.

Coriander is a girl who grew up with Xinlou since she was a child, and this time she came to Jiankang, she also begged her father for a long time to allow her to bring coriander to Jiankang.

"Girl." asked the subordinates to move all the things in Xinlou into the main house, and Coriander trotted to Xinlou with her skirt and bowed: "This courtyard is very similar to our Yuzhou, you are so sad, but do you remember Mrs.?" ”

"Just now Mama Li conveyed the meaning of my aunt, let me not go to see my grandmother for the time being!" Xinlou calmly told Coriander the meaning of Mama Li's brought.

Coriander was stunned when she heard this, and seemed to understand why her girl was so sad, "The old lady loves our lady the most, and now you can't see the old lady, what should you do?" ”

Xinlou has always felt that there must be a cause for his mother's death, three days before his mother died, he was still a good person, and his mother asked her to go to the temple fifty miles away from Yuzhou to ask for peace and blessing for her, but she asked for a return, and her mother was originally alive, but there was only a pile of loess left.

The heart building is confused, the central father clearly checked, but the father didn't let her check at all, Yuzhou when the father was the largest, she was helpless, the next day my grandmother's people came to Yuzhou to pick her up.

When she came, Xinlou thought that her grandmother must have a way to help her, but now her grandmother's situation is ......

"Coriander, you go and inquire, uncle is in the house!"

Since my grandmother didn't work, my uncle had to give it a try.

Coriander is still quite reliable, and it didn't take half an hour to inquire.

Some time ago, Liang and Chu negotiated peace after the war, and after some time, the envoys of Chu State will come to the capital to discuss in detail, and Zhou Ye, who is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is very busy, and today there are nobles who come to the house, and Zhou Ye is discussing in detail in the study.

Who this noble person is, Xinlou doesn't know, but after talking about it for a few hours, he will be tired and tired, and the weather is hot and sultry, if Xinlou is intimate at that time to make a bowl of mung bean soup for this uncle who has never met, then she and her uncle mention her mother, and her uncle should be easier to agree to help her, right?

Thinking about it, she started to do it, Xinlou took coriander all the way from Lanxin Courtyard to the kitchen, and after she finished making the soup, she had just arrived in Shenshi, and she was frozen in cold water for half an hour, and then went to the study.

Although the hour is early, Xinlou feels that it is okay to wait for more hours by himself, and he can show more sincerity!

I thought so, but what she didn't expect was an accident on the way.

To go from the kitchen to the study, you need to pass by the lotus pond, but as soon as Xinlou arrived at the lotus pond, he saw a person in a pink Luo skirt......

She came with a lotus flower in small steps, the light pink skirt floated with the warm wind rolled up, and the steps on her head shook because of the wind, touching a crisp sound, the etiquette of the Shilang Mansion was taught very well, and the big cousin of Xinlou was born with a peugeot, looking dignified and generous.

But......

"I heard that my sister wanted to go to the study to be courteous, I didn't believe it, but now I have to believe it." Zhou Yanan looked at the soup in the coriander hand, and said in a weird way.

As soon as I heard this tone, I came to find fault, and Xinlou really went to the study to offer courtesy, so I didn't refute it.

And Zhou Yan'an didn't react when she saw her, and her heart was even more angry, and she didn't care about her demeanor at the moment, "You are just an abandoned girl, but you don't have the right mind, when you first come to Jiankang City, you can't wait to get close to Your Highness?!" ”
