Chapter 7: The Orphan Girl

At the beginning of the morning light, the shimmer of the eastern sky is sprinkled to the earth through the clouds, and at the beginning of the day, the people of Yanfu get up one after another to get busy, and the smoke rises, reflecting the faint morning light, giving people a feeling of quiet and good years.

The county lord of Nanping took Yan Hao's little hand and walked slowly, followed by a few maidservants, and two strong women carrying a soft sedan chair. After walking for a while, the county lord of Nanping hugged Yan Hagi and got on the soft sedan chair, "Are you tired?" ”

"Not tired." Yan Hagi shook her head, secretly hiding from exercising every day, it was still effective, she didn't have any breath after walking so far.

The county lord of Nanping took a handkerchief to help her wipe the sweat off her forehead, saw her ruddy face, and said with a smile: "It's okay to move, you can drink more bowls of porridge in a while." ”

The mother and daughter talked, and when they arrived at Chunhui Hall, except for Yan Fenghua, a fat boy, the ladies in the room, laughed for a while, and then had breakfast. After breakfast, while sitting and drinking tea, Mrs. Yan's henchman came in and reported: "Old lady, the boat of the fifth master and Miss Biao has arrived at the dock. ”

"Oh, my cousin's poor granddaughter is here." Mrs. Yan's cousin is also a person with a hard life, losing her mother at a young age, her husband in middle age, and her son in her later years, and now she has a nine-year-old granddaughter. This cousin knew that she was old and couldn't protect her granddaughter, so she asked someone to send a letter to Yan's mansion, asking Mrs. Yan to look at the old feelings and arrange a good future for her granddaughter. After Mrs. Yan received the letter, she sent Yan Wuye to pick up people with her entourage.

Yan Hao subconsciously glanced at Yan Qian, and saw a trace of hatred in her eyes, and suddenly understood in her heart that these two people were not in harmony.

Old Madam Yan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "There are guests from afar at home today, so you don't have to go to school." ”

"Yes, grandmother." The sisters bowed in response.

From the dock to Yan's mansion, it will take at least two hours, and Mrs. Yan asked the Zhou family to go first, and then come back later, leaving her granddaughters to talk to her.

The Zhou family came out of Chunhui Hall, and Mrs. Yan San couldn't help but complain: "The old lady is really, she came from nowhere, and she is like a distinguished guest, and she wants everyone to wait for her." ”

This Miss Cousin has not yet entered the door, Mrs. Yan San already doesn't like her, the three of Zhou didn't answer, but she is an orphan girl who lives in a sojourn, Mrs. Yan is willing to lift, if it is good, it is not impossible to give her some face; If it's not good, it's cold. It will be okay to raise it for a few years, and marry people out with a dowry.

Yan Qi is also talking about this Miss Cousin, this Miss Cousin's surname is Yu Fangfei; Yan Ying held her cheeks and asked, "I don't know if this cousin Yu gets along well?" ”

"No matter how bad her temper is, she won't dare to compete with us." Yan Rui raised her eyebrows.

Yan Qian snorted twice, "People are knowledgeable, gentle and beautiful, smart and sensible. Yan Hagi heard a sour taste when he said this.

Yan Miao asked in surprise, "Sixth sister, how do you know?" ”

Yan Qian knew that he had leaked his mouth, and hurriedly said: "I'll just say that casually." ”

Yan Hao, who was sitting next to her and nibbling on a melon, raised her eyes and glanced at her, Yan Qian's reaction made her more and more curious about the things in her previous life. Could it be that in her previous life, she and Yu Fangfei were friends and teamed up to trap Yan Qian? Or did she and Yu Fangfei both "trap" Yan Qian?

There are no solutions to these two questions, and Yan Hao will not ask Yan Qian. Two hours later, Yan Hao saw Yu Fangfei, she was dressed in white, with a white flower pinned to her head, looking delicate and weak, and endearing; In her previous life, would she make friends with such a person?

Yu Fangfei came in with Yan Wuye, and Yan Wuye knelt down and saluted, "My son greets his mother." ”

"It's been a hard journey, hurry up." Old Madam Yan said weakly.

Yan Wuye stood up, and gave a salute to Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan San, and the lord of Nanping County, and while everyone was not paying attention, he winked at Mrs. Yan Wu, and then retreated.

Yu Fangfei took a few steps forward, and knelt on the cushion with the support of the maidservant, "Fangfei has seen the old lady, the old lady Wanfu Jin'an." ”

"Good boy, get up." Old Madam Yan smiled, "Your grandmother and I are cousins, so it's too much for the old lady to be called aunt and grandmother." ”

"Yes, Grandmother." Yu Fangfei immediately changed her words.

Old Madam Yan pointed at the Zhou family and the others, "This is your eldest aunt." ”

"Auntie." Yu Fangfei curtsied.

"My niece doesn't have to be polite." Mrs. Yan gave a gift of a pair of jade bracelets.

"This is your third aunt."

"Third aunt."

Mrs. Yan San's gift was a pair of earrings in the shape of gold and jade droplets.

"This is your fourth aunt."

"Fourth aunt."

The meeting gift given by the lord of Nanping County was a red gold plate and a red gold circle.

"This is your fifth aunt."

"Fifth aunt."

Mrs. Yan Wu's gift was a pearl earring.

"This is your eldest cousin."

Wang and Yu Fangfei are equals, and Wang only accepted half of her courtesy, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, why don't you let me introduce my cousin to a few younger sisters." ”

Mrs. Yan readily agreed, and the Wang family stepped forward to take Yu Fangfei's hand and introduced her that Yu Fangfei had already inquired about the situation of the wives and ladies of the Yan Mansion on the way to Yan's Mansion, and knew that the eldest lady Yan Rong of the mansion was married, and the fourth lady Yan Wei and the seventh lady Yan Fen in the second room were in Jiangning.

After the sisters got to know each other and saw each other, Yan Qian directly attacked, "Although my cousin is in filial piety, don't you feel a little rude when she comes to the door wearing a plain dress?" ”

Yu Fangfei's face changed slightly, and she knelt down and said: "Fangfei has a heavy filial piety, she shouldn't have entered the mansion at this time, but my aunt and grandmother are kind, and when I received my grandmother's letter, I immediately sent my fifth uncle to pick me up, so that Fangfei, who was lonely and helpless, had something to rely on." There are not so many scruples, Fang Fei's rudeness, and ask her aunt and grandmother for forgiveness. ”

Mrs. Yan saw that she was plain white, and she was not unreliant, but she was just thinking about the love between her cousins, and Yu Fangfei was not very old, so she didn't understand these human accidents, and the grandmother who was wrong beside her smiled lightly: "Some little things, don't care, hurry up." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Yan said this, even though Yan Qian was unwilling, she did not continue to fall into the well, hooked the corners of her lips, the days are still long, she will not let Yu Fangfei have a good time.

At lunch, Mrs. Yan asked Mrs. Yan Wu to go back with her children, "Old Wu has been out for a month or two, you young husband and wife, you have been separated for so long, you must have something to say, so you don't need to accompany me here, an old woman." ”

Mrs. Yan Wu blushed and shouted coquettishly, "Mother! ”

Old Madam Yan laughed, "No need to shout, go quickly, be careful, the fifth child is in a hurry, and he came to me to ask for someone." "Mrs. Yan is very generous to her children, and she never thought of raising her concubines and daughters. Yan Wuye was limited by talent and couldn't read, so Mrs. Yan asked him to take care of the house's affairs, instead of joining the government like his four elder brothers.

Mrs. Yan Wu made a farewell ceremony and left with her children.
