After thinking about it, Ji finally couldn't bear to let Wanniang follow the old lady back to her hometown, and she took care of the softness, but she regretted it again.

Wan Niang has never left her since she was born, how could she bear to let her go so far alone.

The old lady didn't force her, and took Jiao Niang and Brother An on the road.

She didn't mention her plans, she only said that Brother An was young, and she left Jiao Niang coldly, and changed to a new environment, afraid that she would cry. Let Jiao Niang go over for a while, and then come back when he gets used to it.

Although Hua Jintang was reluctant in his heart, he didn't want to touch the old lady's intentions, so he agreed.

Jiao Niang didn't feel surprised until she got into the carriage, but a few days ago, Mama Mao came to ask her to pack her things and follow the old lady to Licheng.

Although she was surprised, she was happy in her heart, and touched Brother An's head in her arms, at least she would not be separated from Brother An.

Su Qingyin wiped her tears and sent her off, told her to take good care of herself, and stuffed two peace charms into her hands, which she asked for in front of the Buddha yesterday, one for her and one for Brother An.

To be honest, she and Su Qingyin haven't been together for a long time, but in this family, what she is most worried about is her and-

Jiao Niang's eyes slowly turned to Hua Jintang, and he saw her looking at him and walked over.

Since the quarrel, their father and daughter have not spoken properly, and Jiao Niang hung her head silently.

"Dad-" Brother An's milk voice was milky, and Hua Jintang rubbed the top of his head, "When you get there, you have to listen to your grandmother and sister, don't be naughty, you know?"

Brother An went out in a carriage for the first time, and people were still excited, not understanding the sadness of the difference, and said with a smile: "I know." ”

Hua Jintang nodded, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, "Take it." ”

Jiao Niang hesitated and politely refused, "I already have it." ”

Hua Jintang frowned, and stuffed it directly into her hand, "Where is your enough? Don't be wronged when you get there, don't be reluctant to spend it, if it's not enough, I'll send a letter, and I'll let someone bring it to you." ”

After saying this, he turned around, the tears hidden in his eyes reluctantly left his eyes, and waved his hand forward, "Let's go." ”

The carriage started, and Jiao Niang watched his back slowly disappear in front of her eyes, and she suddenly found that her father's back was no longer as strong as before.

She lowered the curtain and clutched the silver ticket tightly, tears falling on the silver ticket, and it was damp.

This road is quite leisurely, not in a hurry, everything is arranged by Hua Junze, he has accompanied the old lady to and fro many times, and he is already familiar with the road.

Brother An was still in excitement at first, lying on the car window to look outside every day, but within two days, he lost interest, and people wilted, always asking when Jiao Niang would arrive.

Counting the days, about half a month later, I arrived in Licheng.

Beat them into the city, there are already a small maid step forward to report the house, when Jiao Niang and his party arrived, the door was wide open, and the maids on both sides were lined up, and there were all kinds of brightly dressed women in the middle. As soon as the carriage stopped, he rushed forward and helped the old lady out of the car.

"Mother has worked hard along the way. "The leader is a round-faced woman, with a shallow pear vortex at the corner of her mouth, and a look of good fortune.

"It's fine. The old lady glanced sideways slightly, and beckoned to the lady who had come down from the other carriage.

When Jiao Niang heard this, she knew that this was her second aunt Cheng, and led Brother An to salute, "I've seen my aunt." Brother An did the same, bowed his hand, and said, "Say hello to your aunt." ”

Cheng turned his head and looked, his eyes lit up, "This is the fifth niece and little nephew of the eldest brother's family, or the water and soil in the capital, look how good this looks." ”

The person next to her echoed, and the old lady pointed to one of the girls, "This is your little cousin, Qiao Niang." ”

The girl looked about the same age as Jiao Niang, with round eyes, the size of grapes, black and bright, a sharp nose, a heroic air between her eyebrows, and she was tilting her head to look at Jiao Niang.

Jiao Niang bent her knees slightly, "Hello cousin." ”

Cheng tugged at the girl's sleeve, she was upright, and also saluted to the girl, "Hello fifth cousin." Cheng smiled and said: "Your cousin is the most unruly, you can teach her the rules another day." ”

Qiao Niang silenced her nose at Cheng, ran to the old lady, and held her arm, "Grandmother, I just said that I was not born to my mother, she looked at others and felt that everyone was good, but there was no benefit in me, I must have picked it up by her." ”

Everyone laughed, and the old lady shaved her nose while being happy, and hated her, "Monkey cub, this is also said, your mother loves you in vain." ”

Laughing all the way, all the way into the door, Licheng Huajia is no worse than the capital, through the hanging flower door, bypassing a large insert of red sandalwood shelf marble, behind the three flower halls is the main courtyard.

On both sides of the courtyard are wing rooms, surrounded by a four-sided hand-copying verandah, and a few heads poked out from the door window of the wing room, secretly looking at the five girls and the little master from the capital, and whispering and discussing.

At the door of the main house stood four maids wearing red and green, seeing people coming, the two opened the curtains, and the two greeted them and hugged the lady into the house.

As soon as they sat down, six or seven maids came in with water, towels, and comb mirrors, waiting for them to wash them briefly.

After redecorating, Cheng brought a pair of jade bracelets and a red gold collar and gave them to Jiao Niang and Brother An respectively.

Jiao Niang excused, "It's so valuable, Jiao Niang can't accept it." ”

The pair of jade bracelets is transparent and does not contain a trace of impurities, Jiao Niang has also seen it in the Rui Wangfu in her previous life, and knows that this pair of white jade bracelets is worth a lot.

She didn't accept it, and Brother An didn't accept it either, and returned it to Cheng with a high hold.

Cheng smiled, put it on Brother An personally, and put the jade bracelet on Jiao Niang's wrist, "It's not a good thing, it's all a gift from the second aunt to you." ”

The old lady glanced over, "I'll take it for you, and when you have a chance in the future, I'll give it back to your aunt for a better one." ”

Cheng covered his mouth and smiled, "When the old lady said this, it wasn't me taking advantage." ”

Everyone laughed, and the old lady pointed at her and said with a smile: "Look, you still say that it's not your mother, it's like a monkey." There was another burst of laughter.

Jiao Niang didn't refuse again, but asked Shui Xiang to take out the gift prepared for Qiao Niang and give it, Qiao Niang was very happy.

Cheng pulled her to recognize the person again, and pointed to the young woman in pink clothes next to her, "This is your second sister-in-law." ”

Jiao Niang got up again, "Second sister-in-law is good." ”

Xiao Shi hurriedly pressed her to sit down, and said affectionately: "Sister doesn't have to be polite, live here in the future, just tell me what you lack." After a while, I will lead my sister to see the room that has been prepared, and if it doesn't agree, I will change it for you immediately. In the future, my sister just has to treat this place as her home, don't be restrained. ”

Such enthusiasm made Jiao Niang unaccustomed to it for a while, but she also felt ironed in her heart, smiled and nodded.
