Just after the first seven days, more than a dozen carriages of the Jiang family drove away from Qingyang Town, raising a cloud of dust. At noon, the carriage arrived at the gate of Chiang's mansion. Everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, so they changed into a soft sedan chair and went back to their rooms without talking.

Xin Yao sat in the carriage for a long time, her back hurt, she lay softly in the sedan chair, lifted the corner of the sedan curtain, and took it with a glance.

Dongmei walked with the sedan chair. Seeing that the young lady was curious, she couldn't help but introduce the layout of the Jiang Mansion to the young lady.

Suzhou Jiang Mansion occupies a huge area, divided into the East Garden, the West Garden. It is a typical Jiangnan garden building. Pavilions and pavilions, winding paths, blue tiles and white walls, novel and elegant layout, but a good place to live.

Along the way, Xin Yao could only sigh at its beauty.

Dongmei whispered in Miss's ear: "Just now the second wife ordered, Miss lives in Tingfeng Xuan in the West Garden." The yard is not big, it is better to be quiet, and the people have cleaned it up. The third master lives in Duyu Xuan, which is not far from here. ”

Xin Yao smiled lightly: "Mother's arrangement must be good, when the courtyard is cleaned up, I will go to my mother's for a walk." ”

Dongmei smiled: "That's nature. ”

Entering the hanging flower door, not long after, the sedan chair stopped at the door of Tingfeng Xuan. Dongmei personally stepped forward to help Miss Si.

Xin Yao stood still and carefully looked at her future residence. The layout of the new house is similar to that of the old house, with about six or seven rooms. Flowers and plants are planted all over the courtyard, and there are many plantains. A few strange stones in a corner of the courtyard, a pond of clear pools, and a few green bamboos are hidden in it, which makes people feel elegant.

In the middle of the courtyard, Li's mother and others were busy packing up their things. When she returned home this time, Xin Yao brought back the six maids together.

Dongmei helped the young lady into the bedroom and cleaned her face.

Xin Yao looked around and shook her head slightly.

Mother is the one who cares about it. That's it...... It's too luxurious, if you show it to the old lady, won't it be another tongue?

It turned out that Gu Yuzhen hadn't seen her daughter for more than five years, and she felt guilty in her heart, and finally had the opportunity to perform this time, so she naturally wanted to please her daughter. Don't ask for the best, just for better, where can you care about what others say?

Xin Yao saw that the courtyard was busy, and just thought about going to the garden, there were maids back and forth, and the second wife came. Xin Yao hurriedly got up to greet her.

Gu Yuzhen saw her daughter standing in her arms, and cried in her heart. Jiang Yuanchen secretly wiped his tears on the side.

A faint body fragrance came to her nose, Xin Yao fell in her mother's arms, feeling her grief, feeling sad for some reason, and tears fell down.

Seeing her daughter crying, Gu's heart was broken. This daughter, who was lost by her for five years, is afraid that she hates her in her heart. Thinking of this, tears poured down more and more.

Dongmei had red eyes and stepped forward to comfort: "Second wife, the days to come will be long, Miss hasn't rested well these days, she can't be sad, hurry up and enter the house, it's not good to catch a cold on this tuyere." ”

Gu Shi hurriedly carried his daughter into the house, touched his little hand, and it was quite warm, so he was slightly reassured.

Jiang Xinyao's conscious walking and exercise in recent years, coupled with proper diet and regulation, is no longer the weak and weak she was back then. Due to the death of his grandfather, he lost a few points, and he looked a little weak.

Gu didn't know what to do, but after carefully looking at her daughter's figure, she began to think about how to make up for her daughter.

Jiang Yuanchen has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he has made great progress in reading. When the mother and son were alone, the Gu family often talked about their daughter's past, so Jiang Yuanchen knew Xin Yao's body very well. Now when I saw Xin Yao's weak bones and slender shape, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain, it strongly aroused the protection that a man should have**, and secretly made up his mind not to let his sister suffer again.

Xin Yao didn't know what her mother and younger brother were secretly thinking, so she pulled her mother to sit down and took a few steps back. Dongmei handed over the kneeling mat, Xin Yao really kowtowed three times, and said with a smile: "I haven't asked my mother for many years, but today I have fulfilled my daughter's thoughts." ”

When Gu heard this, he was happy and worried, shed tears, and hurriedly helped his daughter up.

At the beginning, my daughter hurt her head, she was stupid and stupid, and she couldn't speak. After seeing how many husbands and how many bitter medicines they took, it didn't work, and Gu Shi shed tears for this. Two years ago, her daughter wrote to say that she could speak, but Gu still didn't believe it, but now she can hear her warbler and swallow language, and she sighs

Xin Yao took the tea handed by Dongmei, offered it with both hands, gently sent it forward, and said softly: "Mother, drink tea to moisten your throat." ”

Gu Shi took the teacup, put it aside, and cried: "My son, don't be busy, my mother just wants to see you." Over the years, I have only suffered you. It's the mother who is sorry for you. ”

Xin Yao picked up the handkerchief to help Gu wipe her tears, and said with a smile: "Mother's words are not right. I'm in Qingyang Town, I eat well, sleep well, and feel at ease. My grandfather doted on me very much, and where I endured hardship, it was clear that I was happy. ”

Jiang Xinyao's words are also sincere. She has always thought that a wealthy family can be as free as a rural farmer. Not to mention the rule on the left, the rule on the right is breathless, just talking about this complicated interpersonal relationship makes her extremely bored.

Hearing these words in Gu's ears, he only said that his daughter was appeased, he stroked his daughter's face, and just wanted to speak, only to hear Jiang Yuanchen say solemnly: "Mother, in the future, my son will take care of my sister, and I will not let people deceive him." ”

Jiang Xinyao smiled and touched her brother's head. This guy is almost as big as she is. smiled: "Good brother, sister thank you." ”

Jiang Yuanchen raised his chin: "Sister, take care of you, it's my duty"

Jiang Xinyao comforted her heart, and was about to tease a few words, but she heard that a maid in the courtyard was reporting that the second master was coming, and she hurriedly glanced at Gu.

Gu Shi got up elegantly, but did not meet him.

Xin Yao was surprised and bowed her head slightly.

Jiang Hongsheng strode in and saw that there were all the people, so he smiled and said, "You mother and son came to see Yao'er, and you didn't call me together, you should be punished." ”

Jiang Xinyao stepped forward to kowtow to her father, served tea, and said angrily: "Father said that he was laughing, it should be his daughter who went to greet her father, how can there be a reason for a father to visit his daughter, my father loves me." ”

She has little contact with this cheap father, and because of Aunt Zhou, she naturally doesn't have a good feeling, and she speaks unconsciously with politeness.

Jiang Hongsheng was shocked in his heart, when he sent her away, he was still a weak child who couldn't speak. I haven't seen her for five years, not only is she out and down, but she is also generous in her speech and demeanor, and her gestures are pleasing to the eye, quite like her grandfather.

Jiang Hongsheng glanced at his daughter deeply, and said meaningfully: "In the past few years, your mother has often worried about you, but now it seems that your grandfather has raised you very well, very well." ”

Jiang Xinyao saw him mention his grandfather, and felt nostalgic and said sadly: "My grandfather was very good to me, teaching me to read, write, and know etiquette, which can be described as well-intentioned. ”

Thinking of the bits and pieces of the two getting along, Xin Yao's eyes were red.

"I also take great care of my daughter in life, and the food and clothing are all good, and my daughter is grateful. The son wants to be filial and his relatives are not there, and the daughter only sighs that her grandfather went too early. ”

Jiang Hongsheng was sad in his heart, although the relationship between father and son was not deep, in the end, it was related by blood, and when he heard that his father treated Xin Yao like this, he felt even more guilty.

He was an official in Yangzhou, and only went home two or three times a year, and every time he asked to see his father, his father always said that he was sick, and he once thought that his father hated him. Now it seems that he must have known in his heart that he acted like this. said to Xin Yao at the moment: "Yao'er is pure filial piety, let her father be ashamed!" ”

"Fathers don't have to blame themselves, daughters have done their filial piety for their fathers in front of their grandfather all these years." Xin Yao's inquiring gaze fell on her father.

After hearing this, Gu Shi was deeply grateful to his father-in-law who had passed away. The daughter advances and retreats in a certain way, serves tea with a salute, and makes people unable to find a mistake in her words and deeds, but I am afraid that the old lady has specially found someone to teach.

Jiang Yuanchen saw that the atmosphere suddenly turned sad, and quipped with great eyes: "Father, when you come, there is only my sister in your eyes. ”

Jiang Hongsheng smiled: "You kid, how can you eat your sister's vinegar?" ”

Jiang Yuanchen pouted: "When my mother saw my sister, I was missing from my eyes, and my father was even more absent from my eyes when he came, so it can be seen that I am superfluous." ”

One sentence made all three people in the room laugh.

Jiang Hongsheng saw that it was rare for Gu to show such a smile, and his heart moved, and there was a little brilliance in his eyes. I just wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to say it, so I had to pick up the teacup and hide the deep meaning in my eyes.

Jiang Xinyao quietly looked at everything in her eyes, reached out and pinched her brother's fat face, and said with a smile: "You stingy ghost, you also said that you would take care of me, take a look, and it will show your shape in a few clicks." ”

Jiang Yuanchen didn't speak, only smirked at Xin Yao.

Gu couldn't help it, and the jade hand tapped his son's forehead and scolded a few words.

The four of them talked about it, and there was a housekeeper going back and forth, and Gu had no choice but to go.

The father and son saw that Xin Yao was a little tired, and walked out together.

Jiang Xinyao saw that people were walking away, so she relaxed and leaned on the concubine's collapse, reminiscing about the delicate relationship between her parents just now, and let out a long sigh!

……

Dongmei entered the house, moved the brazier closer, took a thin blanket and covered the young lady, and quietly brought it to the door, so that the warbler could return to guard.

Dongmei said to Li's mother and walked towards Qiushui Courtyard.

Qiushuiyuan is still the same as a few years ago, and Dongmei feels very familiar along the way. Suddenly, she heard someone shouting at her, and when she looked back, she couldn't help laughing: "Who is my Tao?" It turned out to be you, where did this come from? ”

The person who came was the eldest girl Xia He in the second wife's room.

Xia He is fifteen this year, a few years younger than Dongmei, and is a dowry maid brought by the Gu family from her mother's family. Five years ago, Dongmei was sent by the second wife to serve the fourth lady, and Xia He took Dongmei's errand. These two have grown up together since childhood, and they are waiting by the same wife's side, and the relationship is unusual.

Xia He stepped forward and took a closer look at Dongmei. I saw that she was wearing a goose-yellow padded jacket, a moire pleated skirt underneath, a handful of black and oily green silk on her head pulled into a homely bun, only two thin silver dots emerald inlaid rice beads Huadian, simple makeup, beautiful face, not contaminated with half of the countryside rustic.

Xia He was overjoyed, so he quipped: "Sister Dongmei, I haven't seen her for a few years, but I'm getting better and better." ”

Dongmei chirped: "You little hoof, why are you making fun of me?" I haven't seen you in five years, I think you think you are tight. ”

Xia He smiled: "You think I think about it, but how do you think I think you think about it too?" Looking forward to the stars and the moon can be regarded as looking forward to you back. ”

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had something to say, but when they saw the maids and mothers-in-law coming and going, they didn't stop, so they had to hold themselves.

Dongmei glanced around, pointed slightly in the direction of Guiyun Hall with her hand, and said in a low voice: "Is the mansion okay all these years?" ”

Xia He understood, stepped forward and said softly: "Since the second master went to Yangzhou, the house is much quieter. The East Garden is quite worry-free, only a few aunts are a little unpresentable. The old lady has always been sick, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she doesn't show up often. Now the eldest master is in charge of everything inside and outside the house, and the second wife has the final say on the affairs inside. ”

Xia He paused lightly and said in a low voice: "But the old lady will always ask every once in a while." Then he raised his voice again: "Sister Dongmei has been in the old house all these years, okay?" ”

Dongmei raised her eyebrows, and her heart was clear.
