Chapter 303: A Letter from the South

The next morning, the bride served tea, and Cheng Xiangjin, as the only sister-in-law, got a set of valuable red treasures and gold heads, and a box of various colored beads and flowers rewarded by the palace. When I took it back to the room, I saw a few girls, and they were all impressed by the arrogance of the new young lady.

"The young lady is worthy of being a member of the palace, look at the gifts given to our girl, and compare the sisters-in-law from other mansions."

Xiao Yu'er agreed with Qiaoxiu's words very much, and said while sipping melon seeds: "But no, where can other mansions compare with ours?" It's good to get a pack of little golden pigs in other houses, where is the decent and exquisite preparation of our young lady? ”

"If you want me to say, our son still loves the girl, and has a deep relationship with the girl, and the young lady knows this very well, so she is also more generous to the girl!"

"The son loves the girl, that is something that the whole house knows, but our girl will be the young lady of the Ding'an Hou Mansion in the future, in terms of dignity, how many of the surrounding mansions can be compared? How could the young lady not know this, the heaviness of the gift represents the intention to make friends with our girl, which is also what the elders in the house are happy to see! Young lady, this is called killing two birds with one stone! ”

"That's the truth, but listening to you say it so bluntly, why do you think it's so unpleasant? As if our young lady is so calculating! ”

Cheng Xiangjin listened to their analysis and became more and more unreliable, and couldn't help coughing, "Put away the set of head noodles given by your sister-in-law carefully, you can pick one of those beads each, and put the rest away carefully!" ”

After being instructed, Qiaohui hurriedly said yes. led the others to receive a bead flower each, and carefully put away the other gifts from the young lady Xiao Yuelan.

After everything was cleaned up, Cheng Xiangjin said to a few girls in the room: "My sister-in-law is from the county king's mansion, and she values rules and etiquette the most. You are from my hospital, you should take care of your mouth, don't talk nonsense like other maids, won't it hurt the eldest sister-in-law's heart when it is spread to the sister-in-law's courtyard? Besides, it is a good thing for my brother and sister-in-law to be close to me, and it is also something that my father, brother, grandmother, and mother are happy to see. After all, if the whole family works together and is in harmony, our Cheng family can be more prosperous and go further. ”

Several girls bowed their heads and said yes when they heard this. Occasionally, Xiao Yuelan's personal girl came over to spread the word, and she could also bring some snacks made by Qiaoyu and Xiaoyuer. came and went, and the little maids in the two yards gradually became one.

After the family was busy with major events, Cheng Xiangjin was idle. Thinking of the drunken Xianglou that he hadn't been to for many days, Cheng Xiangjin cheered up again and began to be busy going back and forth every day.

Occasionally, there are too many accounts in the restaurant, and Cheng Xiangjin will stay in the back of the Begonia House.

At the end of August, the begonias were already ripe, and clusters of large red fruits hung on the branches. The purple grapes on the grape trellis on the side are also ripe, pick a bunch of grapes and sit on the stone bench below to taste, sweet and sour, not a pleasant taste. It's a pity that the people sitting on the stone bench have no intention of tasting it at this moment.

Yunfeng and Yunxi have been set off for more than ten days, and if everything goes well, they will be able to catch up with Bai Su and his party in another five or six days.

For some reason, the closer he got to those days, the more nervous and anxious Cheng Xiangjin's heart became.

In order not to think about it, Cheng Xiangjin buried himself in the account books every day. In addition to going back to the house, most of the time I will stay in Haitang House.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the middle of September. It has been more than a month since Yunfeng and a few people left Chang'an, but unfortunately not a word has been returned. Pai Lei Da went to the Hou Mansion to make a low-key inquiry twice, but there was also no useful news.

Looking at the account book in front of him, Cheng Xiangjin had no intention of looking at it anymore.

"Girl, today Mrs. asked Dunzi to come over again, and said that Mrs. had made a few new sets of winter clothes for the girl, all of which were in the girl's favorite style, urging you to go back and try them on. Why don't we go back tonight? After all, there are accounts every day, and there is no end to the calculation! Why upset your wife? ”

Cheng Xiangjin closed the account book weakly, "Then let's go back tonight." ”

As soon as Ganyu heard that he agreed to go back to the house, he hurriedly instructed Lei Da to set up a carriage, but it was not a big effort, and several people went back to Yulan Courtyard.

Sure enough, Mrs. Cheng sent several sets of winter clothes, all of which are the most popular styles nowadays. Cheng Xiangjin tried on Zhang Luo one by one under several girls, and found that they were all a little generous.

The little girls on the side couldn't help but redden, "The girl has been busy in the restaurant recently, and she is tired and thin." The size of this winter coat was originally made according to this year's spring clothes, but now it is so wide. This makes Mrs. know how distressed she should be! ”

Cheng Xiangjin smiled indifferently, "Xu is that I am tall again, so I am more lenient." What's the matter? After these busy days, I will go back when I say I am fat. You sent a message to your mother, and she said that the clothes fit properly, and I liked it. ”

Qiao Hui hesitated for a moment, and sent Ganlu outside the courtyard to pass the word.

In order not to let Mrs. Cheng worry about seeing her now, Cheng Xiangjin went out to the restaurant again early the next morning.

In a flash, in October, the begonia trees in the begonia curie have already lost their leaves, and the red fruits on the branches have been pecked by the birds.

Chang'an has entered winter, I don't know what kind of situation is in the south thousands of miles away?

Cheng Xiangjin sat on the stone bench with a miscellaneous book and flipped through it boringly, but he was silently thinking in his heart, Yunfeng and the others had been gone for nearly two months, and they thought that everything should be going well, so they didn't send a word back. After all, the distance is long, and sending messages is also time-consuming.

Although he is so self-comforting, he inevitably has some complaints in his heart. I knew that Lei Da could also follow at the beginning, at least the people who followed her still remembered to do such a small thing as sending a message!

Unconsciously, Yun Feng and Yun Xi have been compared to Lei Da in her heart.

As the sun went down, the courtyard grew cold. Rubbing his legs, which were a little numb, he picked up the book on the stone table and went back to the bedroom.

As soon as Ganlu entered the house and asked what to use for dinner, Ganyu hurriedly ran in from outside the hospital. It was rare for her to see Ganyu so uncomposed, so she couldn't help but stand up.

"What happened? But what's going on in the house? ”

Ganyu gasped and shook his head, handing over a letter in his hand.

Lei Da said that this was a letter from the south, which he had just received. It seems to have been passed back by the person named Yunfeng in the Hou Mansion. ”

When Ganlu heard this, she shouted excitedly: "I must have seen General Yan, so I specially reported the girl's safety!" ”

When Cheng Xiangjin heard that it was a letter from the south, her heart beat wildly, and she didn't care about listening to what the two girls said, so she tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside.

As soon as his eyes swept over the letter, Cheng Xiangjin was unstable and almost fell.

Ganlu and Ganyu quickly helped her steady, and their faces changed suddenly, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" What happened? ”
