Chapter 34: Family

Several housekeepers and housekeepers and mothers gathered around, flattering the Ruoxue sisters like stars and moons, asking them where to find a doctor and how to wake up Ruohong, and welcoming their sisters into the house with a smile all the way.

Pomegranate Peony and Rice Pearl Gongyue followed the two young ladies, while Lianxin and Dan Tang stayed outside, watching the subordinates unload the cage and other things.

Fang Jin asked a group of guards to send the carriage into the West Corner Gate, and then went back to the guard room.

A few housekeepers sent Ruoxue and them to the second gate, then turned around and came back to find Fang Jin, pulled him to find a tavern to eat and drink, and by the way, inquired about the eldest lady's affairs along the way.

"Grandma talks every day about when her sister will come back, and how is the third sister's illness? A few days ago, I received a letter from my third uncle, and my grandmother was really worried, and I was going to send someone to find you, but I received a letter from my sister, so I was relieved.

Yesterday, I received a letter saying that my sister arrived today, but my grandmother was so happy that she prepared a lot of food in the kitchen, waiting for my sister to pick up the wind and wash the dust today. ”

Mei Zhiyuan spoke with a smile as he followed them in the direction of Jihui Hall.

"Thank you, Grandma, for thinking of us and making the family worried." Ruoxue said.

Ruohong really wanted to roll his eyes at him, but he only saw his sister in his eyes, and he treated her sister as air at all.

It's okay this way, no one looks at her with eyes, and she is happy.

Look at the house garden of this ancient mansion gate, the characters and flowers and trees, and it feels very good.

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed, and she looked down to see that it was Ruoxue who took her hand and led her into a courtyard.

"The eldest young master, the eldest miss, the third young lady......"

When the maids and servants in the courtyard saw the three of them come in, they bowed their knees to them.

"What is the wife going to do again?" Ruoxue asked.

"Mrs. and auntie, wait in the house for the ladies to come back."

Ruoxue didn't speak again, and went straight into the upper room.

Tian was crooked on the big kang under the north window, surrounded by three young and beautiful women, ranging in age from twenty to forty, and four maids standing there.

Because it is in the filial piety period, the clothes are plain or ink, and the jewelry is also plain silver or pearls, which looks a little bleak.

When they saw Ruoxue and them entering the house, they all got up and shouted, "Miss." ”

Ruoxue ignored it, walked to the house and pulled Ruohong to give Tian a salute, "A-Niang, we're back." She said.

"Hurry up, hurry up, come and let A-Niang take a look......" Tian said, tears couldn't help but flow down again.

Ruoxue pushed Ruohong over, and Tian reached out and pulled her into his arms, "It's great, I look a lot thinner!" She reached out and stroked Ruohong's face and body, as if to check what else was wrong, "It's all A-Niang's bad, I didn't take care of you, and your sister, A-Niang can't help you......" she said.

As he spoke, Tian wiped away his tears.

Ruohong didn't know why, she even cried, and she still felt heartache, this should be a little bit of consciousness left by the original owner.

The three aunts stood there with their heads bowed, not daring to go up to persuade their wives not to cry, and usually when their wives cried, they could only stand aside like this and wait, and when their wives had cried enough, they went up to serve her to wash.

"Auntie, isn't the third sister back well? You should be happy, don't be too sad, it's not good for your health! Mei Zhiyuan stood in the distance and comforted Tian.

Tian heard him speak and knew that there were outsiders, so it was not good to cry anymore.

immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and did not let go of Ruohong, who was still crying.

"What Zhiyuan said is, I don't cry anymore, I've worked hard for you, I've been waiting at the door for a long time, right?"

"I didn't have to wait long, my sisters came quickly, and I waited for half an hour." Mei Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"The old lady is still bothering you to talk about it, and when your sisters clean up later, they will go to see the old lady." Tian said.

"Okay, nephew, let's go."

Mei Zhiyuan turned around and went out as he spoke, and his own maid sent him out.

Ruohong cried for a while in Tian's arms, and was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake, so he had nothing to cry about!

She broke free from Tian's arms and shouted as Ruoxue: "A-Niang......"

I don't know what to say next, and I feel a little embarrassed.

"Heart, are you all right?" Tian held her little face and looked left and right, "I've lost a lot of weight, it's all because my mother is useless......"

Seeing that she was about to cry again, Ruohong hurriedly took Tian's hand, "A-Niang, look at me, you see if you are very energetic, I may eat it now, and it won't take a few days to be as fat as a pig." She said.

Tian was amused, his hand rubbing against her face.

Ruoxue stood aside and watched for a while, then walked up to the front and hugged both of them, "Okay, sister, isn't it okay!" Everything will get better and better. She said.

Aunt Zhou said with jealousy: "Looking at the eldest lady and the third miss, we are all envious!" It's a pity that we are not blessed, and we don't even have a daughter. Ay! It's hard to ......"

Aunt Zhou is the youngest one, she was originally the maid next to Mrs. Cao, and when she was eighteen years old, she became an aunt to the eldest master.

It's been more than two years, and I haven't seen any pregnancy.

Mrs. Cao saw that she was a good child, so she gave birth to the eldest master Mei, thinking that she could give birth to a boy and a girl, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and the old lady didn't ask her again.

"Sister Yulan, you have been following the master for many years, why haven't you given birth to a half?" Aunt Zhou suddenly turned the spearhead and pointed at the eldest Aunt Yulan.

Aunt Yulan is the eldest girl next to Mei Jiye, Tian only mentioned her as an aunt after entering the door, she is forty years old this year, and she also gave birth to a girl in her early years, but she was sick when she was half a year old.

Yulan ignored Aunt Zhou's provocation, turned around and told the maid to fetch water and clean the face of Miss Wife.

Aunt Zhou pursed her lips, smashed Aunt Zheng who was standing there stupidly with her elbow, and said with a smile: "Just count her as a person, we are all wood." ”

Ruoxue sat on the kang and answered Tian's questions, Tian's questions were all about her going to Maoshan, and she also talked about the things on the way back and forth.

As for the matter on Maoshan, she changed it, and said it more peacefully, without saying anything that worried Tian.

After a while, seven or eight maids came in with the things they needed to wash, and Aunt Zhou was unwilling, so she still waited for Tian's to finish washing.

Ruoxue and Ruohong finished washing, talked for a while, and then said goodbye to Tian, turned around and went to Songheyuan again.

In the east house of Songhe Courtyard, all the grandchildren of the family are there, as well as the Yang family and the Tao family.

Old Madam Cao sat on the warm kang, with several granddaughters of Yingying Yanyan beside her, and a young grandson, and the fourth young master Mei Zhishu was also crowded on it.

The eldest young master Mei Zhiyuan, the second young master Mei Zhigao and the third young master Mei Zhifang sat on the embroidery pier at the round table, talking and drinking tea.

Mei Zhigao is the eldest son of Mei Jitan and Tao, thirteen years old this year, better than Mei Zhiyuan in academics, and has already passed the Tongsheng examination.

It is also one of the juniors of the Mei family who is expected to be admitted before the age of twenty.
