Su Yunyao, who is a niece, naturally wants to give gifts.

Su Peiyao also came back, and also brought good ginseng and ornament screens, which can be regarded as congratulating the second uncle on moving to a new home. Although Su Jingyao didn't arrive, the gift was delivered, it was a few boxes of honeydew melons, Su Huiding likes to eat this, and the ancient family has Su Jingyao and packed some for the second uncle to bring.

The courtesy is light and affectionate, and besides, it is still a niece who cares about you, Su Hui did not feel that it was treated lightly, but was very happy.

To say that this melon is not cheap, how long will it take to transport it to the Western Regions? Removing the road expenses, carriage and horse fees, ice cubes used in the town melons, etc., etc., etc., it takes time and money, but it is difficult for this melon to be big and sweet, and Su Hui is a little reluctant to eat it.

Hu Zhirou's mother sneered when she saw the melon, and joked that the second girl of the Su family's big house said that she was also married to a royal businessman's family, why did she pick out from the cracks of her fingernails? Or to his own family, not necessarily so stingy with outsiders.

Even if she said so, she was very greedy for melons that she had never eaten, and before leaving, she asked Hu Zhirou to steal two baskets for her and take them away.

Su Yunyao sent an embroidered and framed picture of smooth sailing, firstly, to wish the second uncle a smooth sailing after moving to a new home, and secondly, his business is getting better and better, and it is smooth sailing.

Compared with her, Su Moyao's rules are very few, and she directly asked her mother Qin Manhuai for five or six maids to send them to Su Hui, saying that there were not enough people to serve around her when she moved to her new residence, so she sent them.

Fang Lin was quite happy, because after they left the Su family, the maids who served them before only brought out a part, and the remaining part of the old lady forgot to mention that it was not easy for them to open their mouths, but now the ten girls have sent someone, which is the best!

Despite this, she still politely said, "Mo Yao, you are the most sensible!" But you also know that your second uncle is not a person to be served, he is rough, you bother! ”

Su Moyao smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's okay to serve you, and it's okay to serve Sister Qingyao, it's Mo'er's intention after all, and my aunt will accept it!" ”

Can I not accept it? Immediately, Fang Lin accepted the person.

Su Qingyao's house stuffed one, Su Hui's house stuffed one, and Fang Li's own yard stuffed two, because Su Ying'an usually had to study in Cangbai Pavilion, so he usually lived in Cangbai Pavilion, and rarely returned to his own house, so Fang Ying stuffed only one room for him.

There is still one Fang Li left, who is not idle, so he will not send it to the Hu family mother and daughter, and stuff it directly into the kitchen to do it, but she is not tired, the person sent by Qin Manhuai, she is not stupid, not to say that she is good at eating and drinking, and she can't be mean to others.

Su Qianyao sent a double-sided embroidered landscape flower and bird style four-open screen, Fang Li and Su Hui thought this was the Sheng family's dowry, but later learned that Su Qianyao bought it with his own private money, and I heard that the price was not cheap.

This Su Hui felt uncomfortable in his heart, and discussed with Su Qianyao, "Fifth niece, you are about to get married, there are a lot of places around you where you use silver, and there is that spare money to pay attention to your subordinates and respect your elders or something, do you think your life in the Sheng family will be better?" Listen to the second uncle, return this screen, and replace it with silver and keep the flowers! ”

But since Su Qianyao gave this away, she naturally wouldn't retreat, and persuaded her for a while before she reluctantly let the second uncle 'feel at ease' to accept the screen.

Su Jinyao and Su Wanyao followed Su Qingyao for a walk in this new courtyard.

The new courtyard also hung a plaque of Su Mansion, not far from Su Mansion, and the carriage arrived with a stick of incense. Entering through the gate is a courtyard, the trees on both sides are bare, and it will take about a month to have some greenery, and there are some bamboos planted next to the wall, which shows that the former owner of this courtyard was fond of these.

When the winter passes, the place is full of greenery, and it must be very comfortable.

Walking further inside, it is the main hall of the main house, and the side is the flower hall for entertaining guests, the pattern is not small, but it is not visible at all from the outside.

Fang Ling and Su Qingyao no longer live in the same courtyard, Fang Ling is now the real lady in the mansion, with her own independent courtyard, not called Zilanxuan, but Huicao Courtyard. Su Qingyao's yard is called Tingyanju, Su Jinyao heard that this courtyard was called Jujuxuan before, Fang Lin disliked the old name, so he asked Su Qingyao to take a name herself.

There are also a few other courtyards, but most of them are small, and they are not as spacious as the smoke house, otherwise Fang Lin would not have recognized this place, and he would have to let his daughter move in.

The place where Su Qinyao and Su Yiyao live is called Zhaolan Courtyard, and the location is close to the Chongxuan Hall where Su Hui lives, which is more than a minute and a half smaller than Su Qingyao's Tingyan Residence, but fortunately, the layout is not bad, and it looks chic inside, otherwise Su Yiyao and her sisters would not want to live here.

Although Su Ying'an has been studying in Su Mansion for a long time, he occasionally has to come back to live, so his yard must be kept, Su Hui asked his brother Su Yao to give him a word, and named Su Ying'an's yard Chengzhiju.

Su Jinyao followed behind Su Qingyao, chattering non-stop, "It's really chic here, although it's not as big as our house, but it doesn't look bad at all!" ”

My sister laughed.

"I'm not laughing!" Su Jinyao said seriously, "No wonder my grandmother kept praising this yard with us after she went back, now it seems to be really good, the price is affordable and fair, the second uncle has picked up a bargain!" ”

The yard is three doors and two open, one for each of the front and back doors, and a corner door, but the door is not often opened, after all, there is no one in the house who needs to go to that, so simply pile up some sundries next to the door, and use it as a warehouse.

The guests did not leave until the afternoon, Fang Lin took the maid to write down the gifts received, and in the future, when people have happy events, they will also have to return the gift, and then whoever gives the precious and who does not give it must have a saying, otherwise others will send two handkerchiefs, you can't return two golden beans, right?

Su Hui was also in Huicao Courtyard at this time, and heard Fang Lin say, "My mother's third aunt's daughter is about to give birth, her family has always been slamming the door, you look at the tea sent here, it is not as good as the one I bought on the street, the third aunt and my mother did not deal with each other when they were young, and I have been married for many years and have not begged for anything valuable from her fingernails." ”

Hearing his wife's chatter, Su Hui shook his head and became a lot more sober.

"The third aunt's daughter Feng Dan is good to me, I call my sister when I am young, what should I give if she gives birth?"

Su Hui thought for a while, "What did she give you when you were born?" ”

"I guess it's a pair of bracelets." Fang Lin thought for a while, "I also sent some silver taels, but the mother-in-law of the family she married treated her badly, so I confiscated it and asked the little maid to send it back to her." ”

"Then give something for the same price." Su Hui took a pen and wrote down on the paper, "Isn't there a porcelain in your room that is not too valuable?" Anyway, it's also an ornament to keep it, so it's better to add some silver taels and send it. ”

"That's what the officials said!" Fang Li thought this method was good.

After being quiet for half a pillar of incense, Fang Li couldn't control his words again.

"If you want to say that this old lady's eyes are really poisonous, she can't say that the two yards before she enters the door, she can't say it, she likes this yard at a glance, I went in to see, the two yards are full of old and rotten old wood, if we move in less than two years, we will have to renovate, and it will cost more money at that time, don't look at us living for all these years, compared to the old lady, it is really not enough to see."

"When my father was there, my grandmother always treated me harshly, I didn't look down on me as a concubine, and I didn't have a good face for the old lady, the old lady served my grandmother tremblingly for so many years and didn't ask for anything, my grandmother went to my father for a few years, and this family was supported by the old lady. She's smarter than anyone else. ”

As soon as Fang Lin thought of his mother-in-law, he didn't have anything to say.

Su Hui's mother didn't come early, but fortunately, the old lady was not the kind of mother who was eccentric to the squeaky nest, and it was okay for Su Hui's concubine, and Fang Lin didn't say anything difficult when she entered the door for many years.

Compared with Fang Li, Qin Manhuai was not so lucky. After all, Qin Manhuai is married to a sister-in-law, Su Yao, it is inevitable that she will be in charge of family affairs, and it is a good thing that the old lady is strict with her, otherwise what if the old lady goes in the future, what if something happens to the family Qin Manhuai can't carry it?

Su Huiyao and Su Yuyao said that they were sick and didn't go, and the other went to Su Hui's new home with Cao Qianlian, and when they returned to Yingxiaju, they didn't stop complaining.

"Don't look at the yard, it looks really good! It is said that the old lady's eyes are poisonous, and it is really not a broken yard that she picks! Su Yuyao said.

Su Huiyao smiled disdainfully, "Only the second uncle knows if it can't be broken, and we don't live there, what's the use of being good?" A small courtyard with three entrances and two openings, like an ant's nest, I can't even look down on it for nothing! ”

"Hui'er is ambitious!" Cao Qianlian said, "In the future, if you two marry high, you can destroy ten of those small courtyards where you live, and I don't know what kind of spirit they have. ”

As soon as the words fell, the magpie came in to report that Su Yingxiao was coming.

He has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and now that he is coming to Yingxia Ju in the dark, there must be something.

Sure enough, when Su Yingxiao said that Mo'er was dishonest and stunned Meng Ruoqian, Cao Qianlian almost crushed a teacup.

"That shameless prostitute is really clingy!" Cao Qianlian put on her coat and rushed to Lin Manju.

At this time, the old lady was a little tired, and she had dinner early and lay down, Su Yao was busy with the troubles in the court, and she was not happy to take care of anything else, only Qin Manhuai was in Lin Manju to deal with this matter.

When Cao Qianlian arrived, she saw Mo'er kneeling on the ground, and the door inside was closed, thinking that Meng Ruoqian had fainted, and it was not appropriate for others to disturb her.

"Why is the eldest lady here?" Cao Qianlian asked.

Su Yingxiao had already told her what had happened on the way, it turned out that he had been placed in Mo'er's Shanliju last night, and Mo'er was crazy today.
