The main room of the warm pavilion has been vacated for the two old people, Xiao Wang's is still in confinement, and when the confinement is finished, Shen Zhong and his wife will move to the warm spring hall directly behind the warm pavilion, because it is close to the warm pavilion, so the warm spring hall is also warmer than other courtyards, but it is still necessary to burn charcoal in winter.

Walked into the main hall, there was a four-page screen of peony flowers and pear fragrant wood at the main entrance, beyond the screen, facing a mahogany carved couch, I saw Mrs. Jia was holding Xiaodong and sitting on the collapse, smiling with a loving face, if you haven't seen her mean appearance, everyone thinks this is a kind old man.

Seeing Xiao Xia coming in, Mrs. Jia hurriedly beckoned.

Xiao Xia Xianfu greeted him before stepping forward.

"I heard that you gave the nickname Little Grape?"

"Yes, I saw that his eyes looked like big grapes, so I took them."

Old Mrs. Jia nodded, didn't say anything, and coaxed Xiaodong lightly. At this time, the maids outside began to come in to set up dinner. Xiao Xia looked at it, not knowing why.

"In the past, you had a small family, so it was just right to eat together. Now that there are more people, men and women are not allowed to sit at the same table, so I will discuss with your mother, and our female dependents will eat in the warm pavilion in the future. Let them go to the dining room in the main hall to eat. ”

"Grandma is very thoughtful." Xiao Xia had already considered letting everyone go back to their respective houses to eat, otherwise it would be a waste of time to eat together as a family, three meals a day, and you and I would not be enough to grind your tongue!

Two close servants have been arranged for Mrs. Jia, one is called Huahong and the other is called Liulu, and Mrs. Jia herself got the name, saying that it is in line with the scenery of this courtyard.

At the breakfast table, except for the indecent Wang who was scolded by Mrs. Jia a few times, he was also very calm.

At the end of the year, the accounts of Fengyun Villa were really scary, even if it was a rough spot check, Shen Xiaoxia was busy, and time passed quickly in Shen Xiaoxia's anxiety.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, time flies so fast, the Earl's Court is lively, looking at the red lanterns hanging in the courtyard, Xiao Xia sighed, she was eight years old when she came here, and she will be thirteen years old after this year, and she is already a big girl. She still remembers that when her eldest sister was thirteen years old, her mother had already asked her to kiss her, and at that time she felt that this matter was far away from her, but now it is the matter in front of her.

The women here have no status, let alone the freedom of marriage, and the simple words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders will put in the happiness of a woman's life.

Xiao Xia doesn't want this, and it is impossible for her to accept such an arrangement, and her happiness still has to be grasped by herself.

Seeing that the second girl was still looking outside in a daze just now, she didn't pay attention to raising her feet and walked outside, but it was still snowing heavily!

"Second girl, you wait for me, you are wearing a cloak!"

Chunhua followed closely behind and ran out in the face of the wind and snow.

Xiao Xia ran all the way to Baicaotang, and the spring flowers behind him were stunned and didn't catch up.

When Chunhua chased into Baicaotang, Xiao Xia had been entangled in marshmallows, and the injuries on the little guy's body had already healed, but he didn't expect that this little guy didn't like to eat chicken legs and liked to eat medicinal herbs. And the better the herb, the more it likes to eat, and then it stays in Baicaotang and doesn't leave. It's only been a long time, I don't know how many good medicinal materials I have eaten, and I secretly lost it a few times, but this little guy can find a home, and he found it back.

"Girl, have you improved your light skills again, I can't catch up with you." Chunhua pursed her lips, thinking about whether she had been lazy lately, and determined that she must get up earlier than the girl tomorrow.

"You can be regarded as here, just hurry up and take this dog away for me, is this dog a sperm, I don't know when the snow lotus I hid was eaten by this dog."

Seeing that Xiao Xia was still holding the marshmallow and was indifferent, she wanted to drop something angrily, but her hands were in her sleeves, and she really didn't want to take it out.

"What the hell do you care?"

Xiao Xia scratched Marshmallow's stomach and replied lightly.

"I see! What about my brother? ”

"You're agreeing to take this dog away?"

Xiao Xia nodded, and asked where the senior brother had gone.

The doctor muttered in his heart that he was a light friend, and then looked left and right. "If you don't practice archery in the yard, you just go out hunting."

didn't wait for Hu Qing in Baicaotang, Xiao Xia could only hold the marshmallow and go back to his Xia Yu Pavilion.

In addition to the year.

The old year is coming and gone, and the new year is changing.

Early in the morning, Xiao Xia began to put on makeup in the mirror, and put on a new dress, a pop flower dark pattern eight-treasure brocade dress, with a goose-yellow pleated Ruyi Yuexia skirt, and a white wool shoulder on the outside. Combed a delicate bun with the clouds, inserted a gilt flower and beads, and swayed, a proper lady.

"The girl has really grown up and is getting more and more beautiful."

Xiao Xia looked left and right in the mirror again, and nodded with satisfaction.

"All the clothes for my senior brother have been delivered?"

"Don't worry! I've already sent them, and you've asked three times since I got up in the morning. Chunhua pursed her lips, she didn't like the cold Hu Qing, but felt that the learned and gentle Shen Zisheng Shen Gongzi was more suitable for her own girl.

"Girl, I heard from the treasury that the eldest girl received the materials, and she must have made clothes for Shen Gongzi."

"It's Shen Er who is in charge of the warehouse, what did you listen to Shen Er?" Xiao Xia didn't believe that Shen Er was such a gossip person.

was exposed by Xiao Xia, and Chunhua scratched her head embarrassedly.

"I heard from the lily next to the big girl."

"It's time for the girls in the house to clean up again."

Seeing that Xiao Xia's face was not good, Chunhua finally stopped making a sound.

When Xiao Xia and the others arrived at the warm pavilion, the maids began to set the meal. Xiao Wang's is not out of confinement yet, so he didn't eat with everyone.

"Mother, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, we have to pay attention to it, this year good things continue, first the second brother was promoted to the title, and then he was happy to get a noble son, and then Shen Zhi was promoted. Whoever has the limelight of our Shen family, we have to worship the gods of all parties. In recent days, my daughter-in-law has been walking around the city, and I heard that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, many wives of official families will go to Kek Lok Temple to make vows. ”

"Now the second brother is the earl, you are the old lady, how many ladies in the entire Shaoyang City Mansion have status than you? Take advantage of this opportunity to let everyone know each other and get along well in the future. Second, our Shen family is now a good momentum, we have to keep it! You can't bow in front of the gods and Buddhas. ”

Mu Cui's tongue is like a flick, and a few words will make Mrs. Jia moved, first, she is really afraid that such a good day will be gone, and now she has come to reach out for food to open her mouth, and there are maids to serve, she hasn't enjoyed enough of such days! The second is also vanity, just now her identity is not everywhere Everyone has to call herself an old lady, this feeling is too comfortable. Third, she hasn't been out of the Earl's Mansion since she came to Shaoyang City!

But she also knew who had the final say here, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Xiaoxia, who was sitting on the side and eating peacefully.

Xiao Xia wiped her mouth slowly, glanced at the restless Mu Cuiru, didn't know what her purpose was, but she didn't plan to refuse.
