After the meal, Mrs. Chen sent Situ away, leaving only a few girls in the upper room to accompany Mrs. Liu's talk, but after a while, a maid came to report that Yan Qi had come to visit.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "Please come in, now that the old ladies and girls are here, there is no need to be taboo." ”

I saw a man dressed in black coming in steadily, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, phoenix eyes, straight nose and thin lips, although heroic, but his deep eyes were a little ridiculed, and his facial features were deeper than those in Shangjing.

Old Lady Liu hurriedly beckoned and smiled: "Come, Mo'er, I have seen the old ladies and girls of the Chen family." ”

Yan stepped forward and saluted: "Yan Qian has seen the old lady and the girls. Although Chen Lan and Chen Lin were ashamed to see a foreign man, they were still polite and polite.

Yan Qian straightened up and said to Mrs. Liu, "Grandson has already sent someone to bring the embroidery in the pavilion for grandmother to give to the girls to play with." ”

Mrs. Chen also knew that Yan Mo ran the Linglong Pavilion, and the embroidery there had always been unique, and I heard that it often undertook the embroidery of the royal family and even the palace, and their house also bought embroidery from there, and it happened that Gui'er and Lin'er's dowry and dowry were bought or customized from the Linglong Pavilion. sighed in my heart, the grandson of the old sister is really a great character. Although his eldest grandson is about the same age as the grandson of the old sister, it can be seen from the momentum that his grandson is still worse than the grandson of the old sister.

There are maids who bring up exquisite embroidery, and Mrs. Liu is to let Chen Lan and Chen Lin choose at will. Several girls had already discussed the Linglong Pavilion before, and naturally knew that the embroidery of the Linglong Pavilion was exquisite, and put aside the indifference in their hearts, no one happily chose a few quick and quite elegant.

Yan Qian naturally brought gifts to the old lady and others, and the old lady was naturally happy. Old Lady Liu pulled Yan Mo over and asked, "Why did you come here at this time?" Doesn't it mean that business is busy? ”

Yan Mo said: "I heard that the family said that the grandmother came to see the old sister, and the grandson came to take a look. Then he said to Mrs. Chen: "I have long heard from my grandmother that there are old sisters in Beijing who have not seen me for decades, and I have long wanted to visit." Now that my grandmother has arrived, I guess there is a chance to visit. ”

"It's good to come, my grandchildren are also in the front yard, why don't you let a few of you get to know each other?" Yan Mo naturally agreed, although the old lady was here, but it was better to avoid suspicion. is to let the little maid take Yan Mo to the front yard to find the two brothers Chen Gui and Chen Lan.

After Yan Mo left, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "How is my grandson?" ”

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "You are not ashamed, and you can also show off your grandson." But seriously, it's several times better than my eldest grandson. Now I envy you. ”

Mrs. Liu was also very proud when she heard this, and said: "My grandson is not what I said, how many girls in our grassland like him, vying to marry my grandson." It's just that my grandson is also stubborn, and now he doesn't want to get married. His father couldn't control him, so he simply went with him. I see, if it weren't for his father, he wouldn't have come to Beijing. ”

"Not married yet? My eldest grandson is also engaged, and he will be married in the spring of next year. Lin'er is also engaged, so I'm waiting for the meeting. The old lady took Chen Lin's hand and said, Chen Lin's face was red from her grandmother's shyness, she hid behind the old lady, and held a handkerchief to cover her pretty pink face.

"You see, you're still shy." The old lady and Mrs. Liu looked at it and laughed.

Although Yan Gui said that he was smiling, his dark eyes were full of ridicule, this Chen Gui was better, but he was just dead studying. And then Chen Lan would not be able to see Yan Mo, if he wasn't young now, wouldn't all the women in the backyard suffer. If it weren't for the fact that he was the second son, this Chen Mansion would be really bad. It seems that Chen Fang can still get some of his intentions, if he hadn't heard that Chen Fang mention it before, he really didn't see that the rather shrewd Chen Fang is from this Chen Mansion.

"Brother Gui, Brother Lan, I have to take a step forward in this matter. As for my grandmother, I'll send someone to say goodbye. Without waiting for Chen Gui and Chen Lan to react, Yan Mo still came out of Chen Gui's courtyard and went to the upper room.

"Big brother, why don't you see Fang'er?" This Fang'er is talking about Chen Fang, although the two rooms in the Chen Mansion are separated, but the two rooms are lined up together. Naturally, there is a sister-in-law in the second room, ranking below Chen Gui and in front of Chen Fang. But speaking of which, Chen Lan and Chen Fang are one year old, and they are about the same age. It's just that Chen Lanyang is more innocent than Chen Fang in the backyard, which is quite happy with the old lady. It's just that Master Chen doesn't like this son very much, the reason is naturally that this Chen Lan doesn't like to study, every time Master Chen reprimands him, the old lady and Situ are protected, every time Master Chen says something about the kindness of a woman, but Master Chen is also a filial son, so naturally he can't disobey the old lady. Fortunately, there is an eldest son who can read at home, so he simply doesn't discipline this Chen Lan much.

Chen Gui was wearing a blue dress, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a smile at the corner of his mouth was quite elegant as a scholar, he smiled and said after listening to his younger brother's words: "I don't know, Brother Fang has been very busy recently, and he may have gone out." ”

"I was thinking of playing with him. Big brother, don't read in the study all day, look at how good the weather is outside, it's good to combine work and rest like this. I don't like to read much, and every time I see the words in the book, I feel sleepy. "Chen Lan is also twelve or thirteen years old now, she is innocent, and she looks like Chen Gui five or six points, and she looks good. Although the children in ancient times were very precocious, just like Chen Fang was calm and introverted outside, Chen Lan still retained the child's innocence and innocence, and it would not be strange to be coquettish in front of the elders. As the saying goes, 'a child who can scream has milk to eat', the old lady will like Chen Lan more, and Chen Lan is the youngest son of Situ's, so it naturally hurts more. Now that he is talking like this, Chen Gui touched his head to indicate that he knew, "Brother will go back to the study first, if you want to play, go to your yard." ”

Chen Gui originally wanted to educate his younger brother, but looking at his innocent appearance, thinking that it was useless to say that he had been said in the past, and he didn't want to be a little bored in front of him. is to smile and coax Chen Lan back to his own yard, do anything, out of sight and out of mind.

"Okay, then I won't bother Big Brother." Chen Lan undoubtedly had him, and after saying goodbye to Chen Gui, she went back to her yard with a little jumping.

On the old lady's side, the old lady wanted to say something considerate to Mrs. Liu, and Chen Lin and the girls said goodbye.

"Look at your granddaughters, all of them are as beautiful as the Gesang flowers on our grassland. I think that Lan'er is a little like you did when you were younger. Mrs. Liu said, "Which family is your eldest granddaughter going to be?"

"It's a little like me, it's a little like my girl in Yangzhou. I haven't seen my girl in years since she got married. The old lady sighed with emotion, "As for my eldest granddaughter, is it the second son of the country's son who oversees the wine, or is she in the same school as Gui'er?" ”

Mrs. Liu also knew something about the old sister's family, and patted the old sister's hand and said, "Oh, the Guozi Priest's Restaurant is good." I see that your second granddaughter has a good temperament and good appearance, and I originally wanted to tell my grandson that the door is good and kissable. It's just that you see, I can't do what my grandson wants. I don't know if your second granddaughter is set up? ”

That's a pity, although the old sister's family has no foundation in Shangjing, but it is a big family outside the gate, not to mention the grandson's conduct, but this looks very satisfying. Although it is good to be close to her old sister, she knows what Lan'er is, and she doesn't want her granddaughter to suffer. Hearing what the old sister said, she said with a smile: "Lin'er has just been engaged, but she is not in a hurry." I'm already thinking about it, and you know that my Lan'er identity is not. ”

"That's right, but I see that your granddaughter is good, so naturally you don't have to worry." Mrs. Liu patted the old sister's hand comfortingly, "This blink of an eye, both of our sisters have happened in vain, and in two years, we will even have great-grandchildren, hey, we are all old." I think how good it was for a few of us at the beginning, who would have thought of Ah Mei her.."

"But no, that happened when she was supposed to enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren. But her sons and grandchildren are all good now, and I think she will feel comforted if she knows about it. The Ah Mei in the mouths of the two old ladies is naturally their best friend, but they went to have a difficult birth. At that time, Mrs. Liu had already married outside the Guan, and when she heard the news of her best friend's departure, she was stunned and passed out. But I couldn't come back, so I left a regret.

Yan Qi came out of Chen's Mansion and went to the Splendid Restaurant, handed over the horse to his subordinates, and went in to meet the second child and take him to the private room where Situ Jin was.

casually threw a piece of silver to the little two who led the way, and the little two thanked him and stood by the door waiting for the summons. Yan Mo casually entered the private room, Situ Jin was already waiting inside, and the person standing next to Situ Jin respectfully was not Chen Fang, except for Qingming?

"Why doesn't Situ order yet? Still waiting for me to come, if you don't come out of the Chen Mansion, I didn't dare to delay for a moment to come. When he said about Chen's house, he also glanced at Chen Fang, "I saw the two brothers of Fang Xiaozi, but they looked like people." ”

Situ Jin glanced at him and smiled slowly: "What do you say, wait for you to eat." Saying that, he beckoned Xiao Er to come over and order, and ordered four cold and four hot ordinary dishes, but it was shredded fish with green onions, spicy chicken, roast duck in the oven and a plate of fried vegetables, and asked for a pot of Huadiao, and the two talked about some gossip while eating.
