Just after noon, Jin Nian and Xie Qian's carriage entered the south gate of Huai'an Mansion.

Xie Fu sent people to guard the city gate early in the morning, and when he saw Xie Qian's carriage, he immediately rushed back to report to the old lady of the Xie family.

When Jin Nian arrived, she saw her grandmother and Aunt Xie waiting for her at the Hanging Flower Gate.

Jin Nian got out of the car, and before she could greet the two elders with their luggage, her grandmother greeted her and said with a smile: "It's good to come, it......'s good to be here."

Mrs. Xie has two sons and two daughters, both sons are in local positions, the eldest daughter, Jinnian's mother, married in Yangzhou, and the younger daughter Xie Qing died of illness twelve years ago.

Among the grandchildren of Jinnian, there is a girl in Jinnian, the old lady of the Xie family is too precious to be good, where is she willing to let her kneel and salute? !

Aunt Xie also smiled on the side: "Since your cousin wrote that you are coming to Huai'an, the old lady has been looking forward to your coming every day, and today I got up an hour early to personally go to the kitchen to instruct the cook to cook......

My grandmother is old and wakes up early to work, how can this be done?! Jin Nian said with some anxiety: "It's all my fault, let my grandmother worry about it." "She hadn't been to her home for more than four years.

The old lady was afraid that she would blame herself, so she interrupted her with a smile: "Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense, she is not the same, she prepared a room for you a few days ago, and specially trained two girls, just waiting for you to send them to serve you as soon as you arrive." ”

Jin Nian's heart was ambiguous, and he smiled and thanked his grandmother and aunt.

Because of the arrival of Jinnian, the entire Xie Mansion was filled with a deep joy, and the maid walked as if she was carrying the wind, hoping that her movements would be more neat and that she could enter the eyes of the master.

Sure enough, the old lady was happy and beckoned to the maid and said, "You are all one by one, what are you still doing stupidly?" Why don't you come up and say hello to Miss Cousin?! Everyone who comes to greet him will have a reward......"

In addition to Mrs. Xie's reward, there were also gold leaves rewarded by the cousin, and the maids were smiling on their faces.

The Hanging Flower Gate is as lively as the New Year.

Xie Qian stood aside a little helplessly, as soon as this cousin came, his grandmother and mother seemed to have forgotten that there was such a person as him!

He pursed his thin lips and smiled as he watched, not making a sound to disturb the happy moment.

The cuckoo was so moved by this enthusiastic scene that his eyes were red.

She felt that Jin Nian should be in the Xie Mansion, there are so many people here who spoil her, where it is like in the Su Mansion, everything must be carefully planned, and Leng Buding will give you some inexplicable charges one day, and be driven to the ancestral hall......

In the evening, Su Youhua got off the ya, and came directly to Xie Mansion to take Jinnian back to the Tongzhi Mansion.

The old lady chatted with Jin Nian in a good way, and when she heard this, she was a little unhappy and said: "You have also seen Sister Nian today, I will keep her in the house to accompany me for a few days, when she is free, go to your same prefect again, your same prefect's mansion, messy, Sister Nian in the past, how can you live well?" ”

Seeing that her grandmother was angry, Jin Nian didn't dare to speak, so she had to gently pat the back of her grandmother's hand and signal her not to be angry.

Su Youhua's face was a little unnatural. He knew that the old lady had a lot of complaints about Aunt Rong calling herself Mrs. to the outside world. But he had already warned Aunt Rong, why did the old lady still hold on to it and let him be so embarrassed in front of her daughter......

Jin Nian naturally saw her father's embarrassment, but on the one hand, she was her grandmother who loved her, and on the other hand, she was her biological father, so she couldn't help anyone......

She simply chose to remain silent.

Until after dinner, Jin Nian didn't find a chance to say a few more words to her father, and her grandmother took her by her side all the time.

Su Youhua had no choice but to go back to the Tongzhi Mansion first, and before leaving, he said to Jin Nian: "You will accompany your grandmother these days, I have asked Aunt Rong to clean up the room for you, and when you want to go to the Tongzhifu one day, I will pick you up again." ”

Jin Nian obediently responded.

After another two days, Mrs. Xie finally stopped taking Jinnian with her all the time, but she gave Jinnian a task.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will follow your aunt to learn to feed in the palm of your hand!"

Old Mrs. Xie smiled happily, and when Jin Nian heard this, the tip of her nose was slightly sour.

My grandmother knew that her mother didn't have a feed in her hand, and she couldn't see the old lady's eyes in the house, so she wanted her to learn to feed in the palm of Huai'an Mansion.

Old Mrs. Xie saw that her eyes were slightly red, and her heart was clear, she sighed in her heart, and asked Jin Nian, "Sister Nian, what do you think of your cousin?" ”

Jin Nian was moved, and was slightly stunned when she heard this, is her grandmother going to put her and her eldest cousin in the open?

What do you want her to say?

She snorted her nose and smiled a little embarrassedly: "The eldest cousin has a gentle attitude towards people and is also very knowledgeable, he will definitely be able to achieve success one day." ”

Her eldest grandson can get such a high evaluation, although this evaluation was given by a little girl, but the old lady was still full of joy when she heard it, and the more she looked at Jinnian, the more satisfied she became.

She decided to call Xie Qian over tonight to ask what he meant.

Because of this decision, after dinner, the old lady sent Jinnian out of Cuisong Hall early and let her go back to her leisurely residence, which was the courtyard that Aunt Xie cleaned up for her.

In the Green Pine Hall.

Old Mrs. Xie looked at the eldest grandson who was sitting down, although he was only seventeen years old and had not yet made a name for himself, his handsome face and the elegance exuded by his body were all one in ten thousand.

She nodded secretly in her heart, and asked straight to the point: "Brother Qian, I intend to keep Sister Nian in our house, what do you think?" ”

Xie Qian obviously didn't expect that the old lady left him to talk about this. His heart was beating a little uncontrollably, and Jin Nian's inky eyes appeared in front of him, like autumn pupils cut water.

He even remembered the trembling in his heart when Jin Nian grabbed his sleeve, just like his mood at the moment.

He had always been indifferent, his mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't make a sound in the end when he wanted to say something.

He was so anxious that he pressed his forehead with his hand, and looked at Aunt Xie for help.

Zhi'er Mo Ruo's mother, Aunt Xie saw that her son was so excited that she couldn't speak, she was secretly taken aback, and then said softly: "This matter, my mother has discussed it with your grandmother, and now it's up to you." ”

She was originally worried that her sister-in-law would not be treated well in Su Mansion, and she would be submissive even if she acted with Jin Nian, but she never thought that when she saw Jin Nian, she saw that she was acting generously, and she was indeed expected to be the demeanor of the clan.

I also thought that Su Youbai was also a five-grade acquaintance, if this family was really settled, it would be extremely right.

Mrs. Xie smiled at the chrysanthemum on her face, and said again and again: "Then it's decided, Brother Qian, I can warn you, don't cause some inconsistencies outside, I have to inform your uncle and aunt about this matter, and after the New Year, your cousin will be thirteen, and then it will be decided, and after two years, you will get married,......

Because of the old lady's words, Xie Qian, who was usually light and breezy, turned red, and he didn't listen to the old lady's babbling behind him.

When he returned to the outer courtyard and lay on the bed, he tossed and turned, and there was nothing in an instant, and his mind was full of Jinnian's little face and those inky eyes......
