Walking through the cloister at the edge of the garden, Hagi finally walked to the courtyard where the old lady lived.

The courtyard door was ajar, and the little girl standing under the lantern saw them coming, and called out to the courtyard one after another: "Miss Biao has arrived."

Hagi Niang walked into the courtyard quickly, only to see the main house bright, a room full of women, young and old, looking at her in unison, in the middle of a half-white bun, a noble lady with a head full of gold and jade must be Mrs. Ruan, is the young man standing next to her ......?

She suddenly felt nervous and excited, but this little scene was not enough to be stage frightened. Clenched her fists slightly, feeling that she was a little calmer, she stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "Hagi Niang asks for peace to my grandmother, may the old lady be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan." ”

......Mrs. Ruan didn't come back to her senses at first, her granddaughter and Ruan Youniang really looked too similar, and the age was about the same as when the young lady got married, and for a while she thought that her beloved little daughter was back, and tears were staring at the corners of her eyes and refused to fall. She quickly calmed down, pulled the handsome young man on the side, and said to Haginiang: "Come on, this is your brother Xi'er, you sister and brother haven't seen each other for many years." ”

Hagi Niang excitedly took the young man's hand, only to see that his eyebrows were not very Xiao Zang Jun, but gave people a very close feeling, if there was a mirror next to her, you could see that the two of them looked like they came out of a mold, and they knew that they were sisters and brothers at a glance.

His soft little hands are white and tender, which shows that he is used to being pampered. Hagi Niang was relieved all of a sudden, and said with a smile: "I'm so happy and stupid, my brother still remembers my sister, and my sister thinks about you all the time." Saying that, she asked Mother Li to take out the gift she had prepared a long time ago, a pair of little rabbits that she sewn with her own hands, white and chubby, very cute.

Zang Xi looked at her timidly, although he was not familiar with it, but the child was the most sensitive to the good and evil of people, he accurately felt that this "sister" was close to him, and he liked the gift given by Hagi Niang, and couldn't help but call out: "Sister", which caused all the female relatives to be very happy.

Hagi Niang had a thousand words to say to him and wanted to ask him, but the occasion was wrong, just pulling him to laugh and cry. When the old lady saw their sister and brother reunited, and thought of her daughter, she couldn't help but hide her face and wipe away her tears.

At this time, I saw a tall and fair-skinned woman standing on the right hand side of the old lady and said with a smile: "It can be seen that Miss Biao is happy and stupid, the little boy was still nursing when he came to our house, how can he remember?" It's a joy to see it today, don't cry, it will make the old lady sad. ”

Hagi Niang also wiped away her tears at this time, and laughed at herself: "It's really a thoughtless child, but it caused the old lady to cry, and the old lady made amends." Saying that, he smiled and bowed down, and was supported by the maids beside the old lady.

Mrs. Ruan already liked her very much, and seeing that she was smart and decent, she couldn't help but feel closer, and said, "Don't be busy worshipping, there will be a time for you to worship later." So let her give the eldest lady and the second lady a salute.

The eldest lady Jiang is the woman who spoke just now, her face is fair, but there is some unnatural flushing, and sure enough, her body is not very strong. She took off her bracelet, put it on Hagi Niang's hand, and said: "The girl came from afar, I don't have any good things, this bracelet is jade-colored, and it's okay to make a meeting gift for my niece." When Haginiang saw the jade green and transparent, she knew that this bracelet was of extraordinary value, but she was stopped by the old lady when she wanted to excuse herself: "I haven't been in contact for many years, so I gave such a meeting gift, and you don't want to save money for your aunts and uncles." ”

Hagi Niang accepted it with a smile, and bowed down to the second lady Chen. I saw that this Chen's eyebrows and eyes are charming, but the lip line is very hard, from the physiognomy is a very idea, she helped Hagi Niang up, and smiled gently: "I have prepared a meeting gift, and I feel a little unable to take the bracelet of my sister-in-law, mother-in-law, how can you think this is good?" "A look of grievance.

The old lady smiled and said, "Quickly take off all the jewelry on this miser's body and give it to Miss Biao, just make up the number." Chen smiled and took out a white sandalwood box and handed it to Hagi Niang, saying, "I heard that the girl has not yet reached the end of time, so this vulgar thing can be regarded as adding makeup to the girl in advance." Old Madam Ruan scolded with a smile: "You want to save money again, so you gave the gift of your niece and Lu in one go." I can put the words here, the meeting gift is a meeting gift, and you will have to add makeup to Hagi Niang and Lu. Chen agreed with a smile, and urged Hagi Niang to see if he liked it or not.

Hagi opened the box and saw that the jewels were overflowing, and she also had a hairpin inlaid with treasures, but this hairpin was ...... Needless to say, the workmanship is very exquisite, with the butterfly of the filigree plate gold as the base, the butterfly's wings are two kinds of gemstones corresponding to each other, the upper left and lower right wings are two pieces of pink tourmaline, the upper right and lower left are two pieces of blue sapphire, the big one has two thumb covers as big, the small one is as big as the knuckles, the tentacles of the butterfly tremble and tremble with beads, it is really a rare treasure.

All the ladies and relatives were itching, and Mrs. Ruan didn't expect it, so she hurriedly asked Haginiang to put it away. Hagi Niang didn't expect the two aunts to give such a heavy gift, and she was very uneasy for a while.

What's even more disturbing is that I didn't see the third lady, and no one mentioned her......

Because she hadn't eaten yet, Mrs. Ruan ordered someone to start the banquet first, and she had to think about it for a while anyway, and she was not in a hurry.

Hagi Niang accompanies Zang Xi every day in the Ruan family, this child is two years younger than her, although he doesn't like to talk, he acts in a very orderly manner.

For example, every time Hagi Niang came to take him to the garden to play, he would say that he would "go and talk back to his grandmother first" before he could go. It can be seen from the title that Mrs. Ruan loves him very much, and she is completely raised like her own grandson.

For another example, when Hagi asked Li's mother to tell him about his mother's past with the Nguyen family, he would first bow to the north very respectfully, and then listen carefully, very polite, like a little adult.

Hagi Niang's favorite thing is to watch Brother Xi "practice martial arts" in the garden. Mrs. Ruan Jiatai did not teach Zang Xi poetry and songs like educating the children of ordinary scholars, and chanted poems against each other, but invited a martial arts master to focus on teaching him martial arts. Brother Xi himself likes it, especially the swordsmanship in the eighteen martial arts, which has begun to take shape at a young age, and it is not the beauty of embroidered legs, but a very powerful real kung fu.

Under the praise of Hagi Niang and Cai Ling Cai Tang and other maidservants, Brother Xi became even more proud, and a peach wood sword danced happily and slowly.

This and the beautiful atmosphere lasted until the appearance of the Ruan family's Sanniang.

"The little motherless one is ruining the garden again."
