On the morning of the next day after meeting Suqian, Xu Erlang took Xu Chong and Pian Pian to Pingxi Hou's Mansion.

Originally, he wanted to go with Xiao Yu'er, but was rejected by Jinniang.

Jin Niang is not worried that Xiao Yu'er has not seen the world, and went to Pingxi Hou Mansion to cause a small accident without rules and bring trouble to the family.

Purely thinking about it, there are many rules in wealthy families, especially those with ancestors in the family, and some people go to see them and kneel down and bow at every turn, and adults still feel that they are working hard, and they are even more guilty of children.

Xiao Yuer is the treasure in the palm of her and Xu Erlang, although she has learned the rules very well since she was a child, but in the end she is still a child's heart, and she was pampered and grew up, Jin Niang was worried that she couldn't endure hardship, and she was worried that she would endure it, and she was even more distressed.

What's more, her brother and sister didn't go, only took her a small past, and others would definitely gossip.

After thinking about it, Jin Niang said, "Xiao Yu'er won't go, you can take Chang'an and Changping with you." As for Changle, he didn't go either, and played with the little fish at home. ”

Chang'an Changping Changle had filial piety at the beginning of the year, but it was not taboo to go out as a guest. Moreover, Chang'an Changping is the next generation of men in the Xu Mansion to support the door, and there is nothing wrong with going out to see the world. And Changle has always been timid, and she doesn't like to socialize, Jin Niang thinks that if she goes by herself, she can take care of her more, but now that she is pregnant for more than a month, it is the time when she is fragile and needs to be recuperated, so this time she will not go to Pingxi Hou Mansion, and only let Pian Pian go over as a representative of the female dependents. Pian Pian herself is not big, it would be good to take care of herself, and if she takes care of Changle, I am afraid that she will not be able to take care of it.

Jin Niang opened her mouth again, "If you have something to say to the prince at that time, you will hand over Chang'an Changping to San Lang to take care of, so that you will not be delayed in your entertainment." ”

Xu Erlang nodded and said yes, and then asked people to carry the gifts prepared by Jin Niang to the carriage, and the group went out.

With so many people gone, the house seemed to be deserted all of a sudden.

Jin Niang couldn't be tired, so she sat on the chaise longue and lazily looked at the map of the prices in the capital. At this moment, Changle brought Xiao Yu'er over and said in a soft voice, "Auntie, can I take Xiao Yu'er to play with Gui Niangzi?" ”

"Yes." Jin Niang smiled when she heard this, "It's just that Xiaoyu'er is a little naughty, so don't dislike her and hinder your study of medicine when the time comes." ”

Changle also studied medicine very hard, she now spends most of her time reading and reading, practicing calligraphy, and the rest of the time is spent learning skills with Gui Niangzi.

Jin Niang is a supporter of Changle to study medicine, no matter what, there is a skill that may come in handy at a critical moment, besides, studying medicine is better than learning some sad piano scores or poetry books, and there is no good daughter to teach the sick Xizi the same, looking at it makes people feel sulky.

Changle hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile, "Xiao Yu'er is the most well-behaved, so she won't make trouble, she will help me sort out the medicinal materials." ”

Since Changle didn't dislike Xiao Yu'er for being naughty, Jin Niang had nothing to say, and told Xiao Yu'er a few more words, asking her to listen to her sister's words, and let the two little ones leave.

She read the book for a while, and when she saw that it was noon, she asked the two little ones to be called over, and they had lunch together, and then went to the lunch break.

Before falling asleep, Jin Niang still thought, at this time, there must have been a meal in Pingxi Hou's Mansion, I don't know how a few little guys are now, have they been suppressed by the atmosphere and trembling, have they met appetite food, have they been bullied, have they met like-minded friends?

She fell asleep thinking about it, and when she woke up, she felt chills all over her body, so she quickly asked the maid to get her a jacket.

The degree of cold in the winter in the capital and Pingyang Town is not far behind, in fact, Jin Niang feels that Xing is a little colder than Pingyang Town. After all, there are mountains around Pingyang Town, and the place where Pingyang Town is located is somewhat similar to a valley, so the cold snap from the northwest is somewhat slowed down here, and the relative winter is not so cold to the bone marrow. And the capital is really, really cold.

Jin Niang pondered, with the cold level of the capital, maybe it would snow at the end of October. In that case, it is necessary to stock up on everything for the winter before it snows.

Let's not talk about the cotton clothes and quilts that should be made as soon as possible, just talk about coal, and you have to buy a lot.

When Jin Niang thought of this, she silently calculated in her heart. In the end, she was shocked when she calculated an astronomical amount.

However, coal cannot be saved, especially if there are several children at home, and heating must be supplied. Otherwise, if the children have a little cold and heat, it will be a big disaster.

Thinking of this, Jin Niang suddenly remembered that there was only a wall of fire in this house, and there seemed to be no kang.

The kang is a good thing, and it is good to sit on it to do work or play when it is hot in winter, so how can you not have this?

Jin Niang hurriedly asked the young seedlings beside her, "Is there no kang in your room?" ”

Qingmiao Nahan, "Isn't the fire kang only in Pingyang Town?" Is there a kang burning in the capital? ”

Jin Niang: "......" Wake up, Qingmiao! The fire kang has not been patented by the Northwest people, why can't the people in the capital use it? Not only the people in the northwest are smart, but the people in the capital are even more outstanding, and there are countless ways to keep warm!

Jin Niang: "You go outside to spread the word, don't care if it's an errand in Mohe or Huhe today, let him go out and inquire if there are any good old craftsmen in the capital who have a kang plate." If there is, please invite people to come over, if it is cold today, you have to quickly build up the kang, otherwise, this winter is afraid that it will be difficult. ”

"Ugh." Qing Miao answered and walked out quickly.

Qinghe happened to bring the bird's nest soup over and asked Jinniang to drink a little.

To tell the truth, this thing of bird's nest, Jin Niang didn't drink less when she was pregnant with Xiaoyu, and she was about to drink it. But she's not someone who doesn't know what's wrong. How expensive this bird's nest is, the storage at home is basically all supplied to her. This is also for her body, she doesn't drink and waste, don't say anything, if she really loses this hard-won child in her belly, it will be too late to regret it.

So although Jin Niang was unhappy in every way, she finally pinched her nose and drank all the bird's nest soup.

At this time, the grandmother who was in charge of taking care of the little fish also sent the little fish.

The little girl also has the habit of taking a lunch break, and now she has just woken up and is clamoring for her mother.

Jin Niang coaxed her to drink a few sips of warm water, and asked her if she slept well, did she dream of her mother?

Xiao Yu'er replied with a soft little milk voice, and at the end she habitually touched Jinniang's belly, and said coquettishly, "Brother is obedient." ”

The baby in Jinniang's belly is indeed quite well-behaved. When I was pregnant with Xiaoyuer, Jinniang reacted greatly during pregnancy, and sometimes it was dark when she vomited, but the fetus was very stable, and so far there was no other discomfort except drowsiness. Maybe it's because the little guy has a peaceful temperament, or maybe he understands his mother's hard work, anyway, Jin Niang's pregnancy is quite smooth.

Xiao Yu'er is a big ghost, and the night before yesterday, he happened to hear his father and mother talking, and he knew that his mother had a baby in her belly.

And she stubbornly felt that it was a little brother, so she opened her mouth "brother" and closed her mouth "brother", and touched her mother's belly affectionately, as if she had touched her younger brother.

Jin Niang didn't ask her, why she said that she was a younger brother every time, the child's imagination was wild, or the child could really see things that ordinary people couldn't see. Anyway, either explanation would work, anyway, she was too lazy to get to the bottom of it.

Xiao Yu'er was awake at this time, so she jumped off her mother's lap.

"I pinched my mother's legs, and my mother held me hard." The big-eyed and white-skinned little girl's grandmother said distressing words, which really warmed Jinniang's motherly heart. No wonder people say that their daughter is an intimate little padded jacket, which is really true. Seeing her daughter's cuteness, she wanted to hug her and kiss her a few times.

Jin Niang naturally watched the little girl massage herself with her little hands, and after a while, she watched her busy holding her little fist and beating her legs, her eyes were smiling, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be tensed.

Xiao Yu'er was saying, "Why hasn't Daddy come back yet?" Daddy said he'd buy me rock sugar gourds when he came back. ”

Jin Niang: "...... When did you tell your father to ask your father to buy you a rock sugar gourd, why didn't my mother know? ”

Xiao Yu'er tilted her head cutely and winked playfully, "This is my little secret with my father, I can't tell my mother......"

Jin Niang: It's so heart-wrenching!

No wonder everyone says that the girl is the little lover of the father's last life, it's really true!

Your dad can't even think of buying rock sugar gourds for your mother, but he can still buy them for you?!

Why, I still carry a cub for him! He's so favoritous, I'm going to make trouble. Leather. It's against him!

Xiao Yu'er couldn't hear the roar in her mother's heart, and said playfully, "I wink at Daddy, and Daddy will know what I mean." ”

Jin Niang couldn't help but reach out and pinch the little abrasive little nose, and snorted, "You and your father still have a little code?" Xiao Yu'er is obedient, tell your mother quickly, did your father smuggle things for you in private before? Also, do you have any other codes? ”

Xiao Yu'er's two little fat hands quickly covered her mouth, shook her head and didn't speak.

Oops, the mouth is too quick to say what should not be said, oh no, the mother is angry.

Jin Niang really had no choice but to pinch her cheeks and let her go.

The little fish "escaped from the tiger's mouth", spread his feet and ran out. The silver bell, who was smiling while running, said to Jinniang, "Mother, I'll go to the door and wait for my father to come back." ”

It's a sugar gourd waiting for you, right?

The little girl is a lot of cautious, and she will fool her mother. Wait, see what she will do...... Clean up her dad!

After another moment, Xu Erlang and the others came back.

Xu Chong and Pingxihou Mansion two middle-aged boys went out to race horses, so only Xu Erlang, Pianpian, and Chang'an and Changping came over. As for the little fish, it is estimated that he took the sugar gourd and found a hidden place to eat it.

Xu Erlang obviously drank a lot more, he was full of alcohol, his face was thin red, and he was slightly drunk, so he rubbed his forehead with one hand, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable.

Pian Pian and Chang'an Changping invited Jin Niang to sit down one after another, and as soon as they sat down, Pian Pian chattered and said, "Sister-in-law, it's a pity that you didn't go to Pingxi Hou Mansion today." Pingxi Hou's Mansion is really big, we walked for half an hour before entering the second gate. The houses are also well built, rockeries and lakes, pavilions and pavilions, and nine curved intestines, which look really prosperous. But it's not just bustling, it's the kind of feeling that looks very interesting and very elegant. Even the flowers and trees planted in other people's homes look a little different. ”

When Jin Niang heard this, she smiled, "That is the Hou Mansion that was sealed after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a wealthy family with a profound heritage, and it is compared to ordinary people." ”

Pian Pian nodded, "What my sister-in-law said makes sense. ”

Then I excitedly talked to Jin Niang about who I met today. The old lady of Pingxi Hou is kind and kind, and she makes people feel very cordial when they get along; Mrs. Pingxi Hou was dignified and elegant, but she looked at a sense of distance, and she didn't dare to speak loudly in front of her; Several girls in Pingxi Houfu seem to have better temperament, better knowledge, and better rules, but they will quarrel in private, and they will also be sarcastic in the Ming Dynasty, and they don't seem to be very harmonious.

In addition, she also took down the red gold ring beads nine-turn exquisite bracelet on her hand, as well as the dotted emerald inlaid ruby gold rhombus on her head, and took it off to show her.

In fact, as soon as Fang Pian came in, Jin Niang noticed the steps on her head. After all, when Pianpian set off in the morning, there was no such jewelry on his head, and it was obviously a meeting gift from the lady or lady of the Pingxi Hou Mansion.

And whether it is the nine-turn exquisite bracelet or the Jinling flower step shake, they are all exquisite and gorgeous, and they are very suitable for the little girl to wear, it is conceivable that these are specially prepared for Pian Pian by the two ladies of the Pingxi Hou Mansion.

Seeing this, Jin Niang felt a lot better.

Thinking of Xu Dalang again, although there is melancholy, helplessness, and regret in my heart, I am also a little relieved.

He died to save the prince of Pingxihou, and his family enjoyed the kindness he earned with his life, and enjoyed the face he earned.

It's a shame to say, but the truth is so helpless.

Jin Niang praised twice, and Pian Pian sat down happily.

Later, Chang'an and Changping also talked about what they saw today.

They were taken to play by the second son of the Hou Shizi of Pingxi.

The little boy is young, and because he is from the wife of the prince, his personality is inevitably perverse. But Xing was reminded by his family before that it was his father's life-saving benefactor who was to be received, so although he was still a little arrogant to Chang'an Changping, he still wanted to lose his temper at every turn, but he couldn't help it.

But despite this, going to someone's house as a guest, not being well entertained, but having to look at people's faces, for Chang'an Changping also said that this trip was not very pleasant.

But the two little ones didn't want to embarrass their uncle and aunt.

After all, the Pingxi Hou Mansion is powerful, even if you say it, it will make your uncle and aunt sad, so it's better not to say it.

The two little ones thoughtfully picked up the good ones and said as if they were very happy on this trip.

But they are so small, and the way they smile now is very stiff, how Jin Niang doesn't know that the two of them are deliberately coaxing her with good words.

She began to get angry again, feeling that Chang'an Changping's father died to save the prince of Pingxihou, how could she not afford the politeness of the family? Besides, there is no kindness, isn't it the most basic etiquette norm for guests to come to the door and treat them well?

But it's still that sentence, who made them weak?

If you are weak, you have to be bullied, and if you are bullied, you have no place to reason, this world is so bad!
