020 Sisters and Brothers
Lin Yu'an heard Mrs. Wang's shout, and hurriedly responded: "Grandmother, it's me."
Speaking of Lin Yu'an, Wang Xiaoniang called her to the front, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Yu'an: "Since you were born, you haven't seen your grandmother, hurry up and kowtow to your grandmother for tea."
Mrs. Wang's face was kind, which made people can't help but get close, Lin Yu'an raised her head slightly, and saw that she was looking at herself with a smile. Only then did she realize that her palms were already full of cold sweat, so she knelt down and kowtowed to get up to serve tea, and shouted sweetly: "Grandmother!"
"Whoa!" Mrs. Wang took the teacup with a smile, took a sip and put it aside, took Lin Yu'an's hand, and wiped a piece of fine-colored mutton fat jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Lin Yuan's hand.
The jade bracelet is warm, not cold for a long time, it must be a good thing, it has always been said that the elders can't give up, so Lin Yu'an generously accepted it: "Thank you grandmother."
As soon as the words fell, I heard a sound of footsteps, a crisp jingle sound from the collision of pearls and hairpins, and the girl's unique Qingling laughter sounded, and I heard the servant woman at the door say loudly: "The sisters and brothers in each room have arrived."
Mrs. Wang's mother, who was beside her, stepped forward to greet her. The bead curtain sounded softly, and a group of people entered the hall in a lively manner.
Lin Yu'an suddenly saw so many brothers and sisters of the same age as her, and she was inevitably a little panicked in her heart.
Just like sitting in the pins and felt, I heard a voice that made people feel like a spring breeze: "This is the fifth aunt's sister Yu'an?"
The eldest of the sisters said this, and Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "This is the sister of your fifth aunt's family."
Turning his head and saying to Lin Yu'an: "This is the eldest girl of your second uncle's family, Wang Xuanrou, you just call her the eldest sister, you don't have to give birth."
Lin Yu'an hurriedly smiled at Mrs. Wang, and whispered to Wang Xuanrou: "Big sister makeup!"
"Hey, my sister is such a fairy-like character!" This was funny, so I heard Mrs. Wang laugh and scold: "You are a monkey, you know how to make fun of the new Sister An."
Several people burst into laughter, and then they heard Mrs. Wang say with a straight face: "You can also come and say hello to the fifth aunt!"
Eight or nine people curtsy at Wang Xiaoniang in unison and said, "Fifth aunt makeup!"
Wang Xiaoniang responded with a smile and asked Huo's mother to send a purse, which was heavy, and it looked like it should contain some pleasing objects such as gold leaves.
After this salute, Mrs. Wang said softly to Wang Xuan: "Sister Rou, you take Sister An and the sisters to the flower hall at the back, everyone is familiar with it, and we will often play together in the future."
Wang Xuanrou bowed respectfully and said, "My granddaughter understands."
Wang Xiaoniang smiled and told Lin Yu'an to be reconciled with her sisters, so she let her go with her, and stayed to talk to Mrs. Wang.
Go out from the Moon Gate and walk to the right, through a verandah that twists and turns, and you will come to a three-room room located in the garden, which should be a flower hall.
A maid opened the curtain to let a few people in, Wang Xuanrou kept holding Lin Yu'an's hand, chattering about interesting things in the capital, Lin Yu'an was used to being quiet, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
When I entered the house, I saw that the maid opened the door in front of me, and there was a fish pond with blue waves outside, and there were willow trees hugging the pond outside, and several pink and white double-petaled begonia flowers complemented each other.
The wind blows the weak willows, the swallow rank spring mud, the flowers are exposed in the green tile Zhu Yong, and the eaves are at the corner, which makes people can't help but admire the extraordinary bearing of this bell Ding food house.
In the room, there were bamboo curtains hanging between the beams and pillars, all half-rolled at this time, and the floor was covered with a scarlet carpet with bat patterns, and in front of it was a table with a painted cow herding boy, and a maid came up with delicate pastries and fine melons and fruits.
Wang Xuanrou pulled Lin Yu'an and introduced several sisters and brothers to her carefully, Lin Yu'an tried her best to remember every face and match every name, feeling a little difficult, Yu Guang saw that Xian Pu at the door was trying to hold back a smile, she couldn't help but feel depressed.
A circle of sisters and sisters looked down, it turned out that the second uncle Wang Zhongde had the most heirs in the first room, with three concubines and two concubines, followed by the third uncle Wang Zhongjun, who had three concubines and one concubine.
But there is no child in the big house, Lin Yu is puzzled, it stands to reason that the eldest aunt Qi is in her early thirties, and she should not have no heirs, but she has not heard anyone mention it.
Lin Yu'an said vaguely: "Why don't you see my uncle's brother and sister?"
Her delicate appearance made several sisters like it very much, and when she asked about this, they were all silent, Wang Xuanrou glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Don't mention this in the future, this is a thorn in the heart of the eldest aunt."
Lin Yu'an was startled, and covered his mouth with a frightened face: "You won't let your aunt hear this, right?"
Seeing Lin Yu'an's appearance, Wang Xuanyao, who was the same age as her, couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you see the county lord's mansion opposite when you came?" On weekdays, the eldest aunt lives in the county lord's mansion, and there is also a courtyard here, and she only comes to live in the house during the New Year's Festival. ”
Thinking of the Anning County Lord's Mansion that he saw at the door, Lin Yu'an was relieved, the Qi family is the eldest daughter of King Heng, and King Heng is the younger brother of today's saint, the Qi family is illustrious, so he naturally has the capital to fight against the Wang family, just to be a wife and a daughter-in-law, is it really good to be too strong?
Lin Yu'an didn't take this matter to heart, she was worried about how to remember these people!
"Since we have all met Sister Yu'an, I will go back first." It was Wang Yuansong, the second sister-in-law, who spoke, who looked decent, had an elegant temperament, and looked like a scholar.
As soon as Wang Yuansong spoke, Wang Yuanbai, the second-room concubine, and Wang Yuanfeng, the third-room concubine, said goodbye one after another, and as soon as these people left, only a few sisters and Wang Yuanzhu, the seven-year-old third-room concubine, were left.
Lin Yu'an found that the girls in the third room were very quiet, did not like to talk, and had an elegant temperament. Wang Xuanwei in the third room is the same age as her, Wang Xuanrong is one year younger than her, they are all girls, they are generous, and they are all beautiful girls.
Only the queen of the second room, Xuanrui, has not spoken, her eyes are looking up, and she has a somewhat arrogant posture.
This made Lin Yu feel puzzled, the second aunt is the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion, her status is noble, and several concubines are gentle and polite, but what does a concubine do with such a high shelf?
The third aunt Wei is the granddaughter of the former elder, although her grandfather has passed away, but the influence of the Wei family in the capital cannot be underestimated.
Most of the girls of the Wang family are close to her age, except for Wang Xuanrou who is already discussing marriage, Wang Yuansong and Wang Yuanbai have passed the weak crown, and now they are studying hard.
There are many girls in the Wang family, as soon as you say a word to me, it's time for lunch.
The people around Mrs. Wang came to invite, and Wang Xuanrou took a few people to Yiranju.
The three main rooms of Yiranju are very large, and the room on the left has begun to distribute vegetables, a total of two tables, because there are no foreign men, they are not separated by screens, only men and women are seated.
Wang Xuanrou is as her name suggests, she looks like a gentle person, treats people kindly, and holds Lin Yu'an's hand all the way and speaks cordially. She wore a pea-green spring shirt, which was the older of the sisters.
When I entered Yiranju, I saw several richly dressed women standing beside Mrs. Wang, and when she spoke, several people had already walked over. I only heard Wang Xuanrou call one of the tall beautiful women in colorful clothes as her mother.
Lin Yu moved slightly in peace of mind, and looked at the woman's dress quietly, and the hairpin with five phoenixes and tassels on her head was shining, which made her even more extravagant.
This is the second aunt, she turned around and responded to Wang Xuanrou with a smile, and saw Lin Yu'an standing aside.
The second aunt's appearance is decent, and she is much worse than Wang Xiaoniang, but just by virtue of this dress, she wins a few points.
"Is this Sister An?"
Lin Yu'an smiled and stepped forward to salute: "Second uncle and mother!"
The smile in front of the second aunt was faint, all in order not to spoil the atmosphere and the smile that should be promised made people a little unhappy, Lin Yu'an lowered his eyes, and listened to the second aunt say: "Qiu Tong, I will send the brand-new set of red gold noodles in my house to Miss Biao later."
There was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid guarding the door and said yes, and the second aunt Yu smiled faintly at Lin Yu'an after speaking, and turned to talk to Mrs. Wang.
The woman who was younger than Yu on the side looked at Lin Yu'an, Lin Yu'an looked over, and saw a young woman with a pink face and peach cheeks who was very good-looking, wearing a rain-colored spring shirt lined with a blue spring shirt with a face like white jade, and her posture was like a willow.
Lin Yu'an was slightly stunned, could this be the third uncle Wei? Wei Ge Lao's baby granddaughter? looks not very old, and seems to be much younger than the little lady.
Sure enough, the two sisters, Wang Xuanwei and Wang Xuanrong, were standing next to the woman, and she walked up to Lin Yu'an and said with a smile: "What a Peugeot person, I am your third aunt, let my aunt take a look."
Her smile was different from Yu's, her sincere smile made people feel like a spring breeze, Lin Yu'an smiled and saluted: "Third uncle and mother makeup!"
Wei's face was soft, and he took a piece of jade pendant from his body and gave it to Lin Yu'an: "This was given by your third uncle a year ago, saying that it was a good thing from the Western Regions, so I borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha and gave it to you."
Her words were sincere, and she did not have the arrogance of scrutiny in Yu's eyes, Lin Yu'an excused: "Since it is something given by the third uncle to the third aunt, I think the uncle is very precious, and Yu'an can't accept it."
Wei didn't give up, Lin Yu'an couldn't help laughing: "If this is the case, Yu'an will go to the third aunt to ask for something else another day, and there is no reason to accept the third uncle's beloved things."
When Wei heard this, he was satisfied, it seems that this girl is not a master with low eyes, but she has realized a little bit of the truth of being a person, and she can't help but look up to it a little bit.
The house was bustling, and I heard the maid outside the door shouting, "Lord Anning has arrived!"
As soon as this voice came out, the room was solemn, everyone collected the expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant, Lin Yu said with peace of mind that this eldest aunt Qi family does look very difficult to get along with.
Just thinking about it, I saw a little maid holding a porcelain vase walking in front, and the noble lady who was clustered in the middle like a star and moon behind her had no smile on her face, wearing a wide-sleeved dress with hibiscus flowers and dark patterns, her hands were on her navel, and four maids wearing uniform white brocade behind her pulled a long swinging tail to go to class in four directions.
Qi's posture is straight, with a sense of arrogance, and his chin is slightly raised, looking cold and arrogant. Among several aunts, Qi's appearance is superior, and his bearing is also the most graceful and luxurious.
