Chapter 62 Confiscation of private property
After the ceremony, it was almost noon.
A group of mothers-in-law and maids surrounded Yang Qiqi and sent him to the courtyard of the lord of Pingyang to pay tribute to the relatives and elders of the clan for tea.
Yang Qiqi was first led by her mother-in-law who served her to meet the Lord of Pingyang and Mrs. Cui, and then walked to her biological father Yang Fu, with a decent smile, respectfully knelt down to take the tea cup and held it high above her head and said, "Father, please use tea." ”
Yang Fu hummed, took the teacup lightly, took a symbolic sip, and said with a flat expression: "Now that you have returned home, you are the serious daughter of my Yang family, always remember the family rules, respect the elders, and love brothers and sisters." Cultivate yourself more and accumulate more merit. Your mother has missed you for so many years, and now that mother and daughter are finally reunited, remember to be filial to your mother. ”
Yang Qiqi looked at his handsome expression, with a little indifference in his eyes, and he snorted coldly in his heart. But there was still a warm smile on his face, and he said yes.
The mother-in-law stepped forward and picked her up, and led her to kneel in front of Li to serve tea, "Mother, please use tea." ”
Li seemed to be moved to tears, and hurriedly helped Yang Qiqi up and said, "My good daughter, I have suffered outside all these years. Now that I'm home, I'm going to get along with my sisters in the future. If there is anything wrong or wronged, just tell your mother. Tell me what is lacking and what is missing. Mother will not let you suffer the slightest grievance in the future! ”
Yang Qiqi also had tears in his eyes, and said meekly: "Let the mother worry about it, it's all the daughter's." Now that I can go home, I am always filial by my mother's side, and there is no more unhappiness and grievances. ”
Everyone looked at this picture of mother and son's filial piety, and they all praised each other with sighs.
Li personally led Yang Qiqi to salute the three rooms and offer tea. Yang Qiqi toasted the tea, and they couldn't help but care about it.
After visiting dozens of people like this and saluting one by one, Yang Qiqi was already tired with backache. But she didn't slack off at all, her back was still straight, her demeanor was decent, and she was very dignified and steady.
Lord Pingyang looked at her well-mannered appearance, her tense and serious face eased slightly, and she didn't say anything, and asked her to go back to rest and change her clothes first.
Out of the courtyard of the Lord of Pingyang, Mrs. Li hugged Qiqi affectionately, and said as she walked: "Mother listened to you, and let you sisters live together without special arrangements." Just in front of the Shuying Building, the yards of your eldest sister and ninth sister are in the back, and it is also very close to the yards of your third and fourth sisters. It's also a lot easier for you sisters to move around. If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to talk to your mother! These words are affectionate, but the depths of the words are still politely alienated.
In his previous life, Yang Qiqi lived in Yuguang Courtyard with the eldest girl and the ninth girl until he got married. Now that his identity has changed, he can live alone in Shuying Building, which is really embarrassing.
The residence of the Yang family girl is concentrated in the northwest corner of the inner house of the Yuguo Mansion, not far from the garden and the main courtyard.
The sparse shadow building that Yang Qiqi was assigned to is located in the middle of the entire courtyard. In front of the Yuguang Courtyard lived Yang Qiqi's sister, the eldest girl Yang Yushu, and the ninth girl, Yang Yurao.
Behind is the Rose Pavilion, which is assigned to Yang Yuyan, the daughter of the second room. Next to the Yuguang Courtyard is the Luhua Courtyard, in which live the six girls Yang Yuyu, the eighth girl Yang Yujiao, and the tenth girl Yang Yuchan.
On the other side, in the courtyard of Sanjin, which is very close, lives the daughter of the third room. The fourth girl, Yang Yuru, lives alone in Qinghexuan, and the second girl Yang Yuwan, the eleventh girl Yang Yujuan, and the twelfth girl Yang Yuxian live in the back of the Yurun Courtyard.
Only the five girls have a bit of a "isolated" taste and live in the small courtyard behind the eldest princess's main house.
Each courtyard has a separate main gate, corner gate and garden, and several courtyards are connected, so it is very convenient for sisters to come and go on weekdays.
This also shows that her every move will be clearly seen. It's hard to hide anything from the eyes and ears of the sisters who surrounded her on all sides.
Yang Qiqi couldn't help but sneer in her heart, Mrs. Li could always find a high-sounding excuse for her dirty calculations.
Yang Qiqi was surrounded and went to his yard, and before he reached the door, he heard laughter in the yard and the sound of warblers and swallows.
When I entered the door, I saw that under the verandah, a dozen sisters had all arrived. Seeing Yang Qiqi enter the door, all the sisters surrounded them affectionately at this time.
The third girl, Yang Yuyan, smiled beautifully, walked in the front, and said with a smile: "Seventh sister is back," she said, took Yang Qiqi's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Is your illness cured?" After my mother saw you that day, she was still not at ease in her heart, and she kept talking about you! ”
Yang Qiqi hurriedly replied with a smile: "Let my mother and third sister worry about it, it's all right." ”
Seeing that these sisters were all in one place, Mrs. Li entrusted Yang Qiqi to Yang Yuyan, and she still returned to the main hall to entertain guests.
The sisters sent Mrs. Li away, and Fang entered the main hall of Shuying Building together.
The eldest girl, Yang Yushu, took out a delicate sandalwood box and flipped the lid, and there were more than a dozen newly cut palace flowers of different colors and patterns lying inside. Her eyes moved slightly, and she smiled sincerely: "My sister has white skin, and this silk flower is lining you." ”
Then, the second girl Yang Yuwan gave a hand-copied copy of "Erya Notes", her font is beautiful, and her calligraphy is one of the best in this group of sisters.
The third girl, Yang Yuyan, gave a set of Dushan jade's head noodles.
The fourth girl, Yang Yuru, sent an embroidered handkerchief embroidered with 24 solar terms, and the most rare thing is that this set of embroidered handkerchiefs is made of good kudzu cloth, as thin as cicada wings.
The five girls Yang Qinghuan sent a unique ancient book "Yushan Book", this book is written by the great Confucianism of the former Qin period, the book is written in the former Qin territory of the strange mountains and dangerous peaks, the penmanship is new, strange, elegant, special, the scenery described is beautiful. Yang Qiqi likes this gift the most in his heart.
The sixth girl Yang Yuyu gave a fan pendant, the eighth girl Yang Yujiao gave a copy of the "Diamond Sutra", the ninth girl Yang Yurao gave a pair of gold and jade bracelets, the tenth girl Yang Yuchan sent a purse, the eleventh girl Yang Yujuan sent a pair of earrings, and the twelfth girl gave a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The gifts given by the three concubines are very valuable, and several concubines have daughters, such as limited silver, and the gifts are all within their means.
Yang Qiqi hates this "Erya Annotation" the most, in her last life, she went back to Yang's house, and the second girl filled the scene, and also gave a copy of this, but she did not copy it herself, but bought a copy from outside.
She still remembered that Yang Yuwan seemed to be smiling at that time, with a little disdain in her tone, and said to her: "Seventh sister, you grew up outside, but I'm afraid that you haven't learned words yet, this book may be too difficult for you." But if you want to go to the next level, you have to read books like this. When she said this, everyone in the room began to laugh.
Then all the people in the house knew that the seven girls were born in a wild country and could not read and write. Because she was not good at studying, she was secretly laughed at and vulgar by the people in the house. Yang Yuwan is the kind of person who likes to step on others and elevate herself.
Yang Qiqi looked at the lonely and arrogant cold look on Yang Yuwan's face, and felt a little tired in his heart, and his fingers stayed on the "Erya Commentary" for a while.
Yang Yuwan smiled and said, "You may not be able to read through this book now, so it doesn't matter." If there is something that the seventh sister doesn't understand, just come and ask me. There are also female gentlemen in our family school. ”
Yang Qiqi smiled slightly and did not answer, Yang Yuwan still closed her eyes and listened as she had in her previous life. Before she gave the gift, she didn't know anything about herself, and only picked out a book she was learning now and gave it away, which was really very self-conscious.
The fourth girl snorted and laughed, "Second sister, haven't you heard that the seventh sister was named a sixth-grade female princess by the Queen Mother?" After the Duanyang Festival, do you want to take office and teach the daughters of each family to read? ”
Yang Yuwan was surprised, and looked at Yang Qiqi in disbelief. Concubines like them have a very weak status in the family. Nothing that has anything to do with them, they will not be told by the family, and they have no source of information, coupled with Yang Yuwan's personality that has nothing to do with them all day long, it is inevitable that they will look down on Yang Qiqi who suddenly came back from outside from the bottom of their hearts.
Yang Qinghuan also laughed slightly, without saying a word.
Yang Yuwan's face was stabbed red and white uncomfortably, and she was very embarrassed.
"Seventh sister, I don't know what several highnesses have sent you, can you let us look at the gift list and open our eyes?" The eldest girl Yang Yushu smiled and said that she had relieved Yang Yuwan.
Yang Qiqi said with a smile: "Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it, my maid is in the upper gear." ”
When the ninth girl Yang Yuyan heard this, she said curiously: "Does the seventh sister want to go to the file by herself?" Aren't these gifts going to be in the public middle school? ”
Yang Yuyan replied as a matter of course: "We haven't reached the age of Ji Lu yet, so these things naturally have to be handed over to my mother, such as Gongzhong's care." As she spoke, she explained to Yang Qiqi with a smile: "The gifts that our sisters receive during the New Year's holidays have always been recorded by the public middle school. There is a copy of the booklet in each room, and we will keep a copy in our own room. ”
Yang Qiqi naturally knew this, but he still asked Yang Yuyan seriously: "But if I have a courtesy exchange on weekdays, what should I do?" ”
Yang Yuyan said: "This is why my mother gave you the people around her before entering the house, I am afraid that you will not know anything and make a mistake!" But it doesn't matter, I'll tell you all about it slowly! Yang Yuyan said, took a sip of incense, and said slowly: "If you have a courtesy exchange, just talk to your mother and use it from the public, we are all like this." ”
The queen mother, the emperor, the queen, the crown prince, several princes and others have to be rewarded all the way, how many good things do you have to have?
Mrs. Li is in charge of hospitality, and the gift list of this reward is naturally received by Mrs. Li's mother, except for Murong Xi's cleverness and letting people give her one in advance, who knows what is on the other gift lists!
Yang Qiqi sneered in her heart, she had just entered the mansion, and she was about to be confiscated of her private property?
