After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is gradually getting colder.

Because the Gu family entered Beijing at the end of the year, there were many trivial matters, so he returned to the old lady and gradually handed over the power of the housekeeper to the eldest grandmother Shen.

Sister Shen's Shenglan is familiar with the house, she is quite quick to get started, she is impartial in handling things, and she is kind and powerful to her subordinates. The old lady watched coldly and then put her heart down.

The Shen family had to take care of the house, and had to take care of the two children, and they had to take care of the people in their own courtyard, so they handed Sister Lan over to her mother-in-law to take care of.

The eldest lady can't love the fat, white and tender Sister Lan so much, where will she shirk? A heart is all on the child, and he has no jealousy of the heart, and he doesn't bother to care about those warblers and swallows. This move made Jiang Hongjian overjoyed, and he hugged left and right for a while, which was so unpleasant.

How do you know that Jiang Hongsheng has long been accustomed to Chen's vinegar over the years, these two people, you advance and I retreat, you make trouble for me to hide, you have caught me and hid for more than 20 years, at the first truce, Master Jiang felt that his delicate body was in his arms, and the dark fragrance floated in, but Er'er, quite a little nostalgic for Chen's pungency, went to her room more diligently.

The two teased and teased their little granddaughter together, and the husband and wife were a little more intimate than before.

……

Jiang Xinyao has been in Beijing since her father, except for going to Guiyuntang in the morning and dusk, she has nothing to do but shrink in Tingfeng Xuan, or pack up the bookcase in Beijing, or think about the livelihood of the house, or make one or two new dishes in the kitchen, and occasionally have to accompany Brother Hao to learn the language, and live a good life.

Counting the days, another month will be the third anniversary of my grandfather's death, so I thought about going back to the old house to have a look before going to Beijing. After discussing with the Gu family, he took the opportunity to return to the old lady. It is said that his grandfather raised his kindness, and after entering Beijing, he returned to the distant date, and on the day of death, he went back to his ancestral house to burn incense and meditate, and ate fasting and copied scriptures for a month to thank him for his kindness.

The old lady listened to it and remembered her filial piety. immediately agreed, and sent the chief housekeeper and the four grandmothers to personally send the fourth lady there. Jiang Xinyao drove lightly, only bringing Yinggui and Weiyun two girls.

The old house is empty and full of life. The winding path extends into the Yi Garden, the courtyard is deep, secluded and long-lasting, and Xin Yao suddenly feels warm and flowing.

Yiyuan has been renovated, no different from the past, and the pine tree in front of the court is still tall. Jiang Xinyao's eyebrows were slightly spread, her eyes were smiling, and she put aside everyone and went to the back garden......

On the day of Mrs. Jiang's death. The old lady asked the monks to recite the Sutra of Death for the old lady Jiang for a day in Yunyan Temple, and donated 2,000 taels of silver incense money to light an everlasting lamp for the younger son, bless the younger son to enjoy official luck and rise step by step.

Xin Yao started early in the morning and cooked four dishes herself. Take out the osmanthus brew buried three years ago from under the osmanthus tree and place them one by one in front of the grave of Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Fu lit a white candle and muttered to himself while burning paper.

Xin Yao poured the wine herself and slowly poured it into the mud, the aroma of the wine was bursting, and it was heartwarming.

Xin Yao said with tears in her eyes: "Fu Bo, there will be festivals in the future." I accompanied my grandfather to drink two more glasses. In the spring, a few more plum trees were planted in the garden, and the flowers bloomed in the coming year, and his old man was happy when he saw it. ”

Jiang Fu looked at the young lady in plain clothes, and responded with red eyes.

"Grandfather, granddaughter is going to Beijing. The capital is separated from Suzhou Mansion, separated by mountains and water,

I don't know when I'll see you again. Grandfather, three years have passed. How do I feel like my days in the old house are like yesterday......"

Jiang Xinyao suddenly choked up and couldn't continue. She subconsciously looked at the sky, and the tears in her eyes instantly fell. Three years, three years, life is like this, one after another, it seems to be endless to see the end, and it seems to be a short moment, in the blink of an eye.

Spring goes, autumn comes, summer solstice, winter passes. Jiang Xinyao suddenly smiled softly.

It was gloomy, and the two sat in front of the grave for a long time, saying some side words, and then went back to the room.

At the end of January, Jiang Xinyao returned home. I went to Guiyuntang first, said hello to the old lady, talked to the old lady, and then went to Qiushui Courtyard to say hello to my mother.

Gu Shi hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, so he was worried, so he hurriedly sent the person in front of him, took his daughter's hand and looked up and down a few times before calming down and talking.

Xin Yao saw that the person in front of her mother just now was Aunt Liu, who had not shown up for a long time, and she was a little suspicious in her heart, and asked her mother, and then she understood.

It turned out that before the second master left, he rested in Gu's room for a few days, and explained that Gu took the children and servants years ago, packed up the soft box and followed the old lady into Beijing, and the words did not involve the Liu family.

The Gu family has always ignored Jiang Hongsheng's concubine, so they have to eat and drink well, not to mention like the eldest wife, who makes rules at every turn, or beats or scolds or calculates, and has long forgotten about the Liu family.

After the Liu family and the second master left, they inquired carefully, and only then did they find that something was wrong.

Jiang Hongsheng has one wife and two concubines, needless to say, the Gu family is the housewife, and she will definitely follow the second master to take office. Aunt Zhou has the support of the old lady, so there is no need to worry. She is the only one left, in an awkward situation in this house, and she has no son and half daughter by her side, no one knows where to go.

Only then did the Liu family go to the second wife to flatter.

Aunt Liu followed the second master in Yangzhou, and saw that the second master only took Aunt Zhou to take office, but left his wife behind, only saying that the second wife was not happy, thinking that with her own posture and means, she was not afraid that she would not be able to hold the heart of the second master.

I don't know that the second master is very light on women, even if he rests in Aunt Zhou's room every day, he doesn't necessarily love much. Aunt Liu's desire to compete for favor gradually rose.

It wasn't until she returned to Jiang's Mansion and suffered several losses that Aunt Liu gradually understood who was the person in the second master's true heart, so she took a break from her secret thoughts, just looking forward to having a son and a half daughter by her side, and she would have something to rely on when she was old in the future.

Jiang Hongsheng saw that he was safe, and he always rested in her room a few days a month. Strangely, there has been no movement in the stomach for several years. Aunt Liu was secretly anxious.

Now that the second master has entered Beijing to take up his post, he has not given her a word of explanation, and she has become a dispensable person in the house. If it was a ruthless mistress, I am afraid that she would have taken this opportunity to get rid of her as an eyesore.

Aunt Liu thought hard for many days, and felt that a person like her, who had no children, no daughters and no roots, had no other way but to rely on her own man. So he waited in front of the second wife every day, just hoping to wait for the second wife and take her into Beijing.

Xin Yao knew that her mother didn't even want Aunt Zhou to dirty her hands, so how could she embarrass the Liu family. I talked to my mother about some trivial things in the old house, and then went back to my room to rest.

……

Aunt Zhou's grounding period expired, and she served in front of the old lady every day. After this incident, although she had slightly retracted her temper, the resentment in the eyes of the Gu family and daughter was growing day by day. Thinking that his daughter was still grounded because of Jiang Xinyao, he regretted why he was not ruthless enough.

How could the old lady not be able to see Aunt Zhou's thoughts, and her words were suppressed a few times. With little success, he threw out the marriage of the second master and diverted Aunt Zhou's attention.

These old ladies have already tested the bottom line of the second master, as long as the Gu family is safe and stable. The second master left everything to her mother.

The old lady has stopped the heart of the Gu family since the third lady threw herself into the lake, and now she only thinks about finding a good family for Yuan Hang and Xinshan, so that even if she closes her eyes, Xiuyue will have to rely on. If his son doesn't like it anymore, for the sake of the old lady and the two children, he will definitely treat Xiuyue well.

Zhou Xiuyue naturally didn't understand the old lady's hard work, but the second master's marriage really couldn't be delayed, if she could find a daughter-in-law who suited her heart. It will also be a help in the future, so I put most of my mind on the selection of the second master's marriage.

However, the young ladies of several families selected by the old lady, Zhou Xiuyue was not satisfied. It's either that she dislikes the girl's ordinary-looking appearance, or that her family background is not obvious. In her opinion, the second master is now in the fourth official residence. Although Yuan Hang is a concubine, he is the grandson of the old lady's in-law, so he should say that he is a good family, so he wrote a letter to entrust the matter to his mother's family in the capital.

Zhou Xiuyue's mother-in-law, Xu, received a letter from her daughter, and after thinking about it a few times, she inquired around the capital about the right girl's home.

The people in the big house entered Beijing because of the second room, and they were about to be separated. Frequent movement.

Today, the Shen family is the east and sets up a table and banquet in the East Garden, and the Gu family returns the gift in the West Garden to set up a banquet. is the girl in the second room, and the servants also take this opportunity to be a good little sister in the house. The old sisters said goodbye to the wine one by one.

Jiang Yuanchen was even more busy eating the candied wine of his classmates in the academy, waking up all day long, and came back stunned, rarely seeing his figure. Although Gu felt sorry for his son's body, he also knew that the friendship between classmates was very rare. And he opened his eyes and closed his eyes and went with him.

Walking between the wives of the main house, naturally there is nothing to do with aunts and concubines. Zhou saw that the two rooms were hot, his heart was sour, and he cried a few times in front of the old lady. The old lady was annoyed, so she had to lift the ban on the third lady in advance.

Jiang Yuanshan lifted the grounding, and after crying bitterly in front of the old lady with Aunt Zhou, she quietly tidied up in her own courtyard and went into Beijing. When the old lady saw that he had lost a lot, she gave him a lot of jewelry and clothes as a comfort. Jiang Yuanshan secretly told her aunt to stop a little, wait for the old lady, and wait for everything to go to Beijing before making plans.

On the first day of December, the old lady called the people in the two rooms to her and told her carefully that everything was in order. The family had a farewell banquet, and early in the morning of the second day, two big boats sailed from the Suzhou River. The people in the big house saw that the boat was getting farther and farther away, and then they returned home.

The old lady took Aunt Zhou, Jiang Yuanhang, Jiang Yuanshan and a group of maids and servants on a boat. The Gu family took Jiang Xinyao, Jiang Yuanchen, Jiang Yuanhao and Aunt Liu to follow.

After Gu sneered a few times at the old lady's unreasonable arrangement, he put it behind and took his subordinates to pack up the cabin and settle the luggage.

Xin Yao came out of Suzhou Mansion for the first time in her life in this world, and her heart was surging, and she saw that Mother Li was so busy in the cabin that she had no place to stay, so she slowly walked onto the deck, leaned on the railing, and looked into the distance, with blue tiles and white walls, and clear water, obviously not out of Suzhou City.

This Yanyu Jiangnan, like a talented and good-looking woman, raised her hand and threw her foot, all with grace, reserved and noble, and the dark fragrance floated, which made the talented literati of all generations fall in love.

Slowly, the river changed from narrow to wide, from slow to fast, and the boat went faster and faster. The wind blew Xinyao's hair, and the breath carried the fragrance of water vapor, Jiang Xinyao recalled the bits and pieces in Suzhou Mansion in the past few years, and her eyes were red.

I have been in this world for eight years, and between the world and the world of life, if the white horse passes through the gap, only between the snap of the fingers, the fingertips have not yet had time to feel it carefully, and when I look back, everything is wrong.

Jiang Xinyao subconsciously looked up at the sky, on the other side of the sky, did her daughter still laugh......
