Yan Yan, who returned to his room, changed into a pink placket with a straight collar and a wide-brimmed gown, embroidered a circle of tangled branches on the collar and cuffs and placket, and the lower body was a long skirt with green flowers on a white background.

The hair was also combed again, it was still knotted, but the ribbon on the top of the head was replaced by Jin Tian, Qing He found a pair of gold bracelets and a pair of bracelets of mutton fat jade for her, and Yan Yan picked the jade bracelet.

After getting dressed up, Yan Yan went to the upper room to show Ma's again, Ma nodded, and told Liu's mother and Qinghe Qingmiao a lot of words, and then let Yan Yan go out.

Yan Yan followed Liu's mother out of the second gate, turned to a stone wall, and saw two carriages parked there, the front one was intricately carved at a glance, and the master was sitting, and there were four small pillars on the roof, which was covered tightly with a circle of green silk, and the back carriage was much simpler in workmanship, and the roof and body were surrounded by green cloth, but it was also tight.

There were four mothers-in-law waiting in front of the carriage, seeing Yan Yan coming, the four mothers-in-law all bowed their knees and called "Miss", and then someone brought a low stool and put it next to the first carriage, Qinghe first helped Yan Yan into the carriage, and then got on the same car with Qingmiao, Liu's mother saw that Yan Yan's master and servant got into the car, and came over in person to lower the curtain.

At this moment, a mother-in-law clapped her hands, and four seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys came out of the corner, in groups of two, standing in front of the carriage.

"Be careful, it's the eldest lady who went out today, something went wrong, be careful of your skin." Liu's mother told her again.

The two little girls agreed, and then Liu's mother took the other two mothers-in-law into a carriage behind, and the things were also put on the car.

Only then did Yan Yan know that these four little guys were responsible for pulling the carriage outside the gate, and there were two special coachmen waiting outside the gate with two horses.

Yan Yan was riding a carriage for the first time, because the road was not far, he didn't feel anything uncomfortable, he just felt quite novel, because he entered a very popular street after leaving the alley of Houfu, and Yan Yan glanced at the street scene outside through the corner of the curtain.

To be honest, the street is really not wide, and at most only two carriages can walk side by side, but the houses on both sides of the street are quite neat, the blue brick houses are the majority, most of the shops on the street are shops, and there are many people.

Out of this street, when you turn to another road, it is much wider, and you should be able to pass four carriages, but there are obviously fewer idlers on this street, and the buildings on both sides look much more majestic, Yan Yan knows that one side of this road leads to the palace, and most of the ministers have to pass through here.

After walking along this road for about ten minutes, the carriage turned the road again, entered a commercial street, and entered an alley through this commercial street.

The Meng family was in the depths of the alley, and Yan Yan's carriage had a badge on it, so before she could get out of the car, the little maid at the door opened the side door, and at the same time, someone rushed to the back to pass the word.

After the carriage stopped, Yan Yan didn't move, and when the coachman retreated, Liu's mother lifted the curtain and put on a small bench, Qinghe got off the carriage first, and then helped Yan Yan down, at this time, the maid of the Meng family greeted her.

Yan Yan followed them and just entered the second gate, only to see the second aunt Wang Shi with a few people to greet him.

"The old lady is still chattering, and she doesn't know if it's okay, and she was about to send us to see it again, but it happened that you came." Wang said as he stretched out his hand to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan took a few steps forward and shook the other party's hand, "Thank you second aunt for worrying, it's already fine, grandmother, two uncles and eldest aunt are all right?" ”

"Okay, it's just that the old lady is a little bitter these days and can't eat, but she may be happy when you come." Wang took Yan Yan's hand and walked to the upper room where the old lady lived.

As soon as Yan Yan entered the courtyard, he saw a few maids waiting on the steps around a gray-haired old lady, and when they saw Yan Yan, the old lady's tears quickly rolled down.

Seeing this, Yan Yan hurriedly took a few steps forward, walked to the old lady and knelt down, "Grandmother, Yan'er came to admit her mistake, Yan'er let you worry, it's Yan'er's fault... ”

"Child, child, it's okay, it's good to be alive, listen to your grandmother, it's better to live than anything else." The old lady bent down to help Yan Yan.

"The slave maid greets the old lady of the in-laws, this is the gift list sent by our wife, our wife said to ask the old lady of the in-laws, and ask the ladies of the in-laws." Mother Liu also knelt down, and then handed the gift slip in her hand to Qing He, who gave it to Yan Yan, and Yan Yan gave it to the old lady.

The old lady took the gift list and glanced at it, "Thank you lady for bothering to think about it, come here, take this mother down to drink a cup of herbal tea." ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman in her thirties stepped forward to help Liu's mother and took her down.

At this time, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid spoke, "Old lady, it's too hot this day, Miss Biao's body is weak, and she can't stand the sun, can we go in and talk?" ”

Yan Yan recognized this person as a first-class right-hand maid beside his grandmother, named Xiuju, so he also smiled and said hello, "Thank you Sister Xiuju for your concern." ”

In fact, Yan Yan also knew that the other party's words were to persuade the old lady to enter the house, but he was afraid that he would not listen to the old lady directly, so he used her excuse.

Sure enough, when the old lady heard this, she hurriedly took Yan Yan's hand and entered the house, and the two did not sit down in the outer hall, but went directly into the west room to get on the kang, and the old lady asked Yan Yan to sit down next to her.

"Son, you have been sinned." The old lady touched Yan Yan's face and burst into tears again.

"It's okay, God took pity on me and let me come back." Yan Yan's tears also fell, on the one hand, he was moved, and on the other hand, he was touched.

At this time, someone sent a few plates of melons and fruits, and the old lady personally picked up a watermelon and sent it to Yan Yan, "Child, is it hot?" Eat something to cool off first. ”

Yan Yan took the watermelon and also took one for the old lady, "Grandmother eats it too." I once saw a saying in a book that people with bitter summer should try to eat as light as possible and eat more vegetables, melons and fruits. Also, eating a little sour and bitter can play an appetizing role. ”

It's a pity that Yan Yan didn't know if there was a bitter gourd in this time and space, and she hadn't seen it in the memory of the original owner, so she didn't dare to say it.
