Early the next morning, when Yan Yan was freshening up, he suddenly remembered one thing, the ancient people had the habit of setting the province in the morning and dusk, and Yan Yan also had the memory of the original owner.

So, after grooming, Yan Yan changed into an ice-blue cross-collared placket that was equivalent to a modern cropped sleeve, and a long skirt with an orchid on a white background, and ordered Qinghe to accompany her to the upper room.

Yan Yan had just approached Ma's courtyard and was looking at the three seal characters of "Shen Siju" above the gate, when the maid at the door saw her and hurriedly shouted inside, "The eldest lady is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Yan Zhang being the first to rush out, "Eldest sister, can you finally come out to meet people?" ”

"What are these words? What does it mean that the eldest sister can finally come out to meet people, and you don't go to visit the eldest sister yourself, so do you blame the eldest sister for not coming out to meet people? Yan Tong followed him and teased him.

"Eldest sister, and me, it's not that my eldest brother and I don't go to see you, it's that my mother said that you can't talk yet, you need to recuperate, and don't let us bother you." A seven or eight-year-old boy rushed out and ran directly in front of Yan Yan.

Yan Yan recognized that this was Yan Bin, the second son of the Ma family, and in Yan Yan's memory, the original owner seemed to have a good relationship with the Yan family's sons-in-law, so Yan Zhang and Yan Bin would be very relaxed in front of her, completely childish.

And Yan Yan didn't live up to the other party's enthusiasm, smiled, and reached out to pinch Yan Bin's little round face, "The second brother's face seems to be round again." ”

Yan Bin unceremoniously slapped Yan Yan's hand away, and said angrily: "Eldest sister, I cried all night when you died, and I didn't eat well for two days. ”

"Second brother, you are talking nonsense again, I am obviously standing in front of you alive, how can I call it dead? Also, no matter how I look at your face, it doesn't look like you haven't eaten well. Yan Yan continued to pinch his face and teased.

"Eldest sister, you really wronged the second brother, the second brother did not eat two meals well, but later learned that you were fine, and began to turn grief and anger into food again, saying that you should eat well and eat more, strive to grow up early, and then go to Lu Shizi to beat him." Yan Zhang said with a winkled eyebrow on the side.

"Eldest brother, how old are you, why are you messing around with your second brother?" Yan Yu came out and drank Yan Zhang.

"It's not nonsense, he did something that he didn't deserve to be beaten?" Yan Yan said without hesitation.

"Eldest sister, you are not messy enough, the second brother is young, I can't help but see Lu Shizi really say this one day, and then people will think that our family is not generous and uneducated." Yan Yu stomped his foot, walked up to Yan Yan and pulled Yan Yan's hand to be coquettish.

"It's better for us Yan'er, as soon as you come, these younger brothers and sisters are all revolving around you, and our family has laughter." Ma sat in front of the window of the east room and looked at this scene in the courtyard and smiled.

"Okay, it's so sunny outside, let's go in and talk." Yan Tong looked at the sun above his head and said.

Yan Yan followed Yan Yu into the upper room, Yan Yan paid special attention to the layout of the upper room, which was slightly larger than where she lived, and the layout was basically the same, it was also a long offering table, a table of eight immortals and the main seat, next to it were two rows of chairs several circles high, and all the furniture was all mahogany, but the beams, columns and couplets, doors and windows in the room were ebony.

In addition, there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of this room, and above the long offering table in front of it is a picture of a sage, and on both sides is a couplet, "Lide Qi is ancient and ancient, and collects books to teach his descendants." ”

The two ends of the offering table are two mahogany flower stands, each of which has a pot of Junzi orchid on the flower stand, the flower pot is blue and white porcelain, and each side of the flower stand is an ebony column, and there is also a pair of couplets on the column, "Viewing history and knowing the present and thinking about advance and retreat, reading and cultivating ambition in the spring and autumn." ”

Yan Yan didn't have time to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the walls on both sides, only to see Yan Yu push her, "Eldest sister, we are talking to our mother about the Queen Mother's birthday, eldest sister, what do you think I should give the Queen Mother this time?" ”

"I can't say this well, you know, I'm embroidering a "Magu Birthday Picture", if I can think of a better one, I won't send an embroidery with no new ideas." Yan Yan declined Yan Yu.

While talking, several people entered the east room, Ma sat on the kang, and there were three aunts and several cousins in the room sitting on chairs or sitting on pedals, and they all stood up when they saw Yan Yan enter the door, "The eldest lady is here." ”

"Child, come, come and sit here, your aunts also said that they wanted to see you after dinner, but it so happened that you came, breakfast is here, auntie hasn't seen you get together for a long time." Ma Shi beckoned to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan smiled at a few aunts, "Thank you for your concern." ”

If she couldn't speak before, she could still understand if these aunts didn't come forward, but she had been fine for three days, and these aunts didn't come to the door, if it wasn't for the taboo that she was a person who had died once, there were other reasons.

Fortunately, in my impression, the relationship between the original owner and these aunts and several concubines and concubines is not good, mainly because the Yan family has a clear hierarchy, and the concubines and concubines have no status, and they usually live with their aunts, although they also have the opportunity to go to school, but Yan Yan is older, and several cousins and sisters are younger, and when they enter school, Yan Yan basically does not go to school.

Therefore, except for the morning and dusk, it is difficult to meet at other times.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Yan has little confidence in marrying into the Lu family, the Yan family is like this, and the Lu family must not be much better.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else uncomfortable? Ma didn't miss the instant depression on Yan Yan's face.

"No, it's already good, thank you aunt for your concern." Yan Yan said.

"This kid, the family still says such things? By the way, I have one thing I want to discuss with you, no, June 28 is the birthday of the Queen Mother, should I hand you a sign in advance to see the Queen Mother and send your congratulatory gifts, or will you go with us? Ma asked tentatively.

"Huh? I haven't thought about it yet, what about my aunt? Yan Yan showed a little embarrassment.

In fact, she has long had a plan in her heart about this matter.

Because she knew that as a wife of the imperial court and a maiden relative of the Queen Mother, the Ma family had to enter the palace every year to celebrate her birthday, and according to the previous practice, she would take several concubines of the Yan family with her.

But this time is different, she just had this kind of thing, Ma naturally didn't want her to participate in the court, after all, it is impossible for the Yan family to be on this occasion, almost all the court women of the third grade or above in the capital will participate, in addition, there are many royal relatives, not to mention that Yan Yan is embarrassed on that occasion, and the Ma family is also afraid of embarrassment.

If someone asks, how should she respond?

Therefore, Ma asked such a question, she hoped that Yan Yan would take the initiative not to go, so that she could explain to others.

But who knew that Yan Yan pushed the problem to her again, and Ma couldn't help but look at the person in front of him carefully.
