A few days later, Lin Chen, the eldest grandson of the Lin Mansion who returned to Ning with the bride, received news that he was going to return home with his wife on this day.

The Lin Mansion was busy early in the morning, sweeping inside and out, welcoming the beautiful women who came home.

"Sister-in-law, Chen'er has returned safely, you can rest assured...... I see that you look a lot better today. ”

Second Mrs. Lin, Wang covered her mouth and smiled.

"Don't make fun of me, the old and the young in the house, there is a time to take it lightly."

Having said this, Yang couldn't hide his excitement.

"My sister-in-law is really hard, but it's a pity that my sister is incompetent, but she can't help my sister-in-law."

Wang regretfully held his hair in a bun, turned his face and said to the little girl who was sweeping the house: "Hands and feet are sharp, it snowed last night, and I asked someone to sweep the snow in the alley too, don't make it difficult for the eldest prince and the young lady to walk——"

"Yes," Yang reacted, "Quick, go and say ...... to the guy at the door."

"Sister-in-law is really hard." Wang's expression of "look at how sensible I am".

Yang didn't notice it, and smiled ashamedly: "Look at me...... Too busy to take care of it. ”

It's almost the New Year's Day, and the furnishings in the house should also change the style, at this time, the housekeepers and grandmothers are moving things from the warehouse, and people are coming and going.

"Madam, Mama Li from Biyun Yuan has come to get the right cards."

Yang's maid Xiaolian came in and said.

"Please Mama Li bring the newly burned set of white porcelain incense Ruyi tea cups with you."

The old lady smashed several teacups for Miss Cousin's business a few days ago.

"I think there is also a set of amphorae that reflect the snow and red plums, which are also beautiful, so let's send them to the old lady as well."

Wang added on the side.

"The second lady is thoughtful, Xiaolian-" Yang untied the pair of cards around his waist and handed them over, "Send them too." ”

Wang reluctantly removed his eyes from the pair of cards, turned his head and said, "Sister-in-law is really hard. ”

"It's not hard." Yang lowered his eyes modestly.

Wang smacked his lips quietly.

Who praises you?

After a while, the little maid who had been waiting outside the city came to report that the eldest prince and the young lady had arrived outside the city, and they had changed carriages and entered the city.

Yang was excited, and urged the servants who were alive in a panic and walked away.

"Tsk." Wang's probe looked at her figure everywhere, and pouted at the grandmother beside her, "What's the point, but it's just a one-day journey from here to the capital, but it's like winning the top prize...... Hum...... This little thing will keep her busy with her feet......"

The grandmother on the side also pouted and agreed: "The eldest lady is lucky, if you want to be smart, then you can match you, Mrs." ”

"I'm going to see how long she can get lucky......

Wang shook his handkerchief, quietly put away the jealousy in his eyes, and followed a piece of Zhang Luo.

……

"Miss, Young Master Chen is back, I went to Biyunyuan to see the old lady, and now I go to the eldest lady...... Chen Gongzi brought a lot of gifts and soil, and said that he would send them to each room and courtyard in a while, and asked the young lady to bring them to the general, saying that it was a gesture of affection, and asked the general to smile, and also asked the young lady to smile and accept......"

The little girl Ah Miao went out and brought a lot of new news.

Gu Xiyue put down the book and nodded.

"I heard that Gongzi Chen and the young lady also went to the mountains to meet the real person of the Taoist temple this time, it is said that it is the rule of the Bai family on the young lady's side, and I heard that the ancestors of the Bai family have this rule...... What kind of rules, so weird...... It's better for our general, I never care about the rules or not, the general said, being a man, being happy is the most important thing......"

"Yes......" Gu Xiyue replied casually.

She had heard this sentence from the general many times.

At first, I thought it was fresh, and then I didn't approve of it, but now I am familiar with Ah Miao's words, and I unconsciously have some agreement.

While doing things, Ah Miao told all the interesting anecdotes and gossip he had recently inquired about, and then he went out with the changed clothes with satisfaction.

Gu Xiyue's shoulders were loosened, she raised her hand to push open the window lattice, and looked out the window, where Ah Man was dancing the two big knives in the courtyard.

In winter, the sun is spread all over the small courtyard, and although the snow has not melted, it is so vibrant.

Gu Xiyue took out a box of ointment from the drawer, and her gaze stopped at the dark gold hot stamping banquet on the table.

Chang Mingbo was going to hold a winter banquet on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, and the post was sent to the family of a person with a head and face in Nan'an City yesterday, as General Gu's daughter, it was naturally the first one to be sent to her.

The snow is difficult to walk in winter, and it is generally not easy to hold a banquet, but who knows that the eldest granddaughter of Uncle An's family is eighteen this year, but she has never discussed marriage.

Speaking of which, this Nan'an City is indeed a blessed land, although only Lin Cen and the two families are the only ones who study and write articles, but these two families have a great impact on many of the younger generations who followed their relatives and returned to Nan'an.

Although it seems that Nan'an is a place for officials to retire in the twilight of Beijing, it is actually the most knowledgeable and vibrant place.

On the eve of the New Year's Festival, many talented people in Beijing will invariably flock to Nan'an, or ask for advice on the way of officials, or ask for guidance, or visit the predecessors of Zhishi, or accompany the relatives of the clan, among which there are many young people who study in Beijing and return home.

It's going to be lively in the capital.

Therefore, Uncle An, who once crisscrossed the battlefield, chose to hold a banquet at this time, and his intention is self-evident.

It's going to be very lively.

Gu Xiyue played with the invitation, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at Ah Miao, who was laughing with the little maid on the corner door.

A Miao is a maid who can talk and laugh, and is easy to get close to people.

The little girl with the curtain obviously just said a few words to Ah Miao when she came to thank her, but when she turned her face, the two became little sisters.

In less than half a day, the little maid was called Xiu'er, a little beggar bought on the street, and there was a terminally ill brother at home.

By the way, I also inquired about the gossip in the Lin Mansion.

For example, Mama Li of Biyunyuan is cold-faced and kind-hearted.

The big girl next to Mrs. Lin is surrounded by Cuiping, greedy for money and stingy.

Lin Man has only one maidservant by his side, Fen'er, who often pushes and dodges because Lin Man is a concubine.

Second Master Lin's family likes to watch other people's liveliness, and the second master has a concubine who quietly became pregnant without telling the second lady, and now she has escaped Yunyun.

Gu Xiyue felt that as long as Ah Miao wanted to, maybe there was nothing Ah Miao couldn't inquire about.

Ah Man played with a set of big knives, and shook out a soft whip again, winding out a beautiful whip flower.

General Gu really sent a treasure to Miss Gu.

Seeing that Ah Man easily lifted the Taiping Jar in the corner of the courtyard and changed it to a more suitable place, the smile on the corner of Gu Xiyue's mouth deepened.

"Ah Miao, send our bone-setting ointment to the fifth sister, Ah Man, you come into the house, I have something to explain to you."

The smiling young lady beckoned.

The two maidens responded crisply, startling the jackdaws on the branches.
