Seeing this, everyone made fun of her, Jiao Niang's face was thin-skinned, and her face instantly became colorful, and her little face was burned red, as if it was sprinkled with rouge.

couldn't help it, Yu Guang looked at Hua Meiniang, only to see that her face was blue and white, and the corners of her mouth were filled with a silent smile.

It was very late when I came back from the eldest princess of Chuyang, and today's plum blossom banquet can be described as unique, all the food is made of plum blossoms, and even the wine is plum blossom wine.

The wine was sweet and mellow, Jiao Niang was greedy for a cup, took a few more sips, and was not strong enough to drink, and came back all the way to Qinghuan and Shuixiang to help her.

As soon as I walked to the corridor, I saw the little girl Qiushuang standing in front of the door running over, Qing Huan teased her: "Ghost girl, you are clever, the girl has not entered the courtyard yet, so she rushed to greet her, this eye really compares me with Shui Xiang." Shui Xiang smiled and responded.

Qiushuang smiled innocently, "How dare you compare with the two sisters." He added: "By the way, I came out to report that my aunt and cousin are here." ”

After the first big cleanup, Jiao Niang picked it into the yard. Originally, she was young, and Jiao Niang only let her do some idle things, but when she came back this time, she found that she was capable and sincere, so she was promoted to a second-class maid.

There is a fixed number of maids around Jiao Niang, two first-class maids, two second-class maids, four third-class maids, and the rest are rough envoys. Needless to say, in addition to the new autumn frost, there is also a second-class maid named Wu Dan.

Wodan is calm and serious, and during the time when Jiao Niang went to Licheng, she guarded the yard and managed the little maids to do things. Jiao Niang's weight to her is second only to Qinghuan Shuixiang.

Today, Jiao Niang and Qinghuan Shui Xiang are not there, Wu Dan saw that Yu's mother and daughter were coming, so he discussed with Qiushuang, one of them was waiting for the girl outside, and the other was watching Yu's mother and daughter in the house.

Yu's mother and daughter were extremely unpopular in Yanran Pavilion, Shui Xiang and Qing Huan couldn't help but pout when they heard that they were coming, Jiao Niang woke up for seven minutes, and asked, "When did they come?"

"I came shortly after noon, and I said that the girl had gone to the mansion of the eldest princess of Chuyang for a banquet, and they waited and did not leave. ”

Qing Huan has always been most annoyed by the mother and daughter, "Girl, why don't we go elsewhere to avoid it." ”

The cold wind blew away the drunkenness of Jiao Niang, she straightened her clothes, and said, "Can you avoid today, can you avoid tomorrow?"

When I entered the house, I saw Yu's mother and daughter sitting on the kang in the middle room, Yu was wearing a rusty red jacket, with dark patterns all over the body, and the corners of the sleeves were slightly white and faded.

The child Qin Shu gave birth to at the beginning of spring has not recovered well, she was originally plump, and now she has gained weight several times. She was wearing a half-worn honey-colored jacket, a rose purple cotton skirt, a pearl hairpin on her head, and two gourd jade earrings hanging from her ears.

The pearl hairpin and earrings were all stolen from Jiao Niang before.

Seeing Jiao Niang coming back, Yu hurriedly got off the kang to put on her shoes, and pulled Qin Shu, who was reluctant to get up first, and her mother dragged it a few times before she reluctantly followed. Yu said: "Jiao Niang is back, it's cold outside, hurry up and sit on the kang." "A picture of the owner's house.

"When did my aunt come?" Wu Dan untied Jiao Niang's clothes, and easily stuffed a brocade bag of hand stove into her hand, Jiao Niang walked directly to the Luohan bed opposite Yu's mother and daughter and sat down, put the hand stove on her lap, and then spoke, "Sit quickly, how to talk while standing." ”

Yu smiled and sat down on the edge of the kang, "I'll be here after noon." ”

Jiao Niang said: "Then you haven't eaten yet." Yu laughed dryly, Jiao Niang saw that the plates of snacks and dried fruits on the kang table were empty, and instructed Wu Dan sideways, "Let the kitchen send a meal." Then he said to Yu: "Aunt and Shu'er will leave after dinner." ”

Without any more words, he opened the lid of the hand stove, used a copper stove to remove the ashes in the furnace, and dried them aside.

Qin Shu looked Jiao Niang up and down, and then looked at her shabby clothes and bloated figure, she was both envious and jealous, she felt inferior in her heart, and closed her gown to cover the fat on her stomach.

Yu Shi looked at Jiao Niang ignoring them, and was resentful in his heart, but it was not easy to come out, so he said angrily: "I still heard from outsiders, I just knew that the cousin girl was about to become rich and married to King Rui." This is a great blessing, why didn't you tell us about it. When my niece got married, my mother's uncle's family heard about it from others, and it was funny to say it. ”

Jiao Niang paused, raised her head, and said, "I remember that the last time my aunt came, didn't she say that there would be no niece like me again, and she would break off her relatives with me?

Yu Shi was stunned, choked by her words, Qin Shu smiled: "That's all angry words, cousin is really serious, we are relatives who have broken bones and tendons, how can we break it." ”

She slapped Yu Shi with her elbow, and Yu Shi immediately raised a smile, "That's it, Jiao Niang, don't take it to heart, you also know that your aunt's mouth can't say anything good all day." After I went back that time, your uncle scolded me, I really shouldn't say it, how can you say it? You just lost your mother at that time, and it was a sad time, I didn't say to comfort you, but I was angry with you like a child," he wiped his tears and cried, and intermittently told how Aunt Jiao's sister and brother depended on each other, and how sister and brother had a deep relationship.

Jiao Niang held the stove in her hand and listened quietly, until she finished speaking, and then said leisurely: "Yes, when my aunt left, I didn't even have a caring relative by my side, and I was sad that I was going to follow, but fortunately I survived, and my life slowly improved." ”

Yu's face was slightly embarrassed, she wanted to move her family affection, but she didn't want to be blocked by the girl Jiao Niang's understatement.

She smiled dryly: "Whether it is Ji Tailai now, it is all my aunt and grandmother TOEFU, bless you to marry into the Ruiwang Mansion, and the glory and wealth in the future are inexhaustible, and my aunt and grandmother know and can be gratified." ”

Jiao Niang smiled but did not speak, took the tea bowl brought by the fragrance of water, gently flicked the lid of the bowl, the heat of the tea rose to her face, she blew gently, and slowly tasted it.

Qin Shu looked anxious, pinched the handkerchief and dragged it for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "It's all one family, why bother talking about two families." Jiao Niang, no matter what you say, my father is also your own uncle, you can't be rich alone, just leave us alone. ”

Jiao Niang's gentle smile slowly retracted, and she looked at her with a cold face, she didn't notice the indifference and fierceness projected in Jiao Niang's eyes, and said to herself: "Where to come this time, there is nothing else, just let you do a little favor." Ah Ye is unlucky, he didn't get into the upper middle school in the imperial examination this time, it is said that with his knowledge, it is impossible not to go to high school, I muttered in my heart, I don't know if someone did something and was impostored. ”

Yu Shi nodded in agreement, and then she said: "But now we don't pursue this, in fact, what about the top prize in the examination? It's not a small official position, how can it be worthy of His Royal Highness King Rui." ”
