At this time, Hua Jintang was still in the middle of the court and had not returned, and after greeting for a long time, Jiao Niang went back to the room to rest first, and then went to see him when he came back.

But where to rest, when she left, Jiao Niang only brought a few bags of clothes and a few books, a total of two small boxes of things, but when she came back, it was six large boxes.

There are things sent by Ying Che, gifts from Nanfu and Xifu when she left, a few dowries given to her by the old lady, a silk quilt made for her by Cheng, and ......

Six boxes of things were spread all over the floor, Qinghuan Shuixiang was sorted out and recorded, and Jiao Niang chose the things to give away.

"Shui Xiang, divide those satin into six parts, send two parts to the eldest lady, send three points to the second aunt, and send the remaining one to the sister-in-law. ”

Shui Xiang looked at those good things and felt pity, "Girl, these are all given to you by King Rui, and they are all good materials." ”

Jiao Niang was pounding out a few cans of tea from a small cage, and when she heard her words, she raised her head and said, "When did you pick the door like this? ”

Shui Xiang squirmed her lips, Jiao Niang buried her head and continued to close, while saying: "Okay, don't worry about it, divide these cans of tea, the fourth sister likes to drink tea, give her two cans, the third sister doesn't like to drink, so you don't have to send it, give her a bucket of pearls instead, and one can for the rest of the people." ”

Jiao Niang doesn't care much about these things, a person can eat as much as he wants, and there is no harm in being a favor.

Then she took out a wooden box from the box, opened it and handed it to Qing Huan, "This benzoin is an extremely rare thing, you take it and give it to the second aunt." ”

Qing Huan hesitated slightly, "Girl, you found a lot of places to find this incense, and it took several days to make it, so I gave it to the second aunt," with a look of pity.

Jiao Niang hated her, "Look at you stingy girl, isn't it just a piece of incense." I've always slept well, but I can't use it for the time being, so it's not a pity to wait for the tide to go against the tide, so take it and send it over. Her gaze fell on the box, and a glint of unknown meaning flashed in her eyes, "Perhaps, the second aunt is just in need." ”

When Qing Huan heard this, she couldn't help but look up at her, Jiao Niang smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "You say, such a good incense, is the second aunt willing to use it?"

Other people's beautiful girls all sent maids to send gifts, but only Su Shi sent them in person.

Su Shi was extremely enthusiastic, and hurriedly asked Amber to serve Jiao Niang's favorite tea, Amber smiled and served it to Jiao Niang, "The five girls have been gone for a few months, and our grandmother has been talking about it for a few months, muttering every day why the five girls haven't come back." ”

Jiao Niang opened the tea lid, the fragrance of orchids was fragrant, she smiled, and said to Su Shi: "I said that why my ears are hot every day, it turns out that my sister-in-law is talking about it." ”

Su Shi pursed his lips and smiled: "No, I'm just a sister like you, you go far away, can I not worry about it in my heart?"

After greeting for a while, Jiao Niang asked Wan Niang again, and Su Shiying's smile on her face slowly faded, "I found a lot of doctors, but there was still no improvement, but my mood gradually stabilized, unlike earlier, I couldn't even see anyone." ”

Jiao Niang smiled, didn't talk any further, and moved on to other topics.

The two of them got together and had endless words, until Hua Junyi came back from outside, and Jiao Niang didn't notice that it was dark.

Seeing that Jiao Niang had the intention of retiring, Su Shi took the first step and said: "The words are not finished yet, my sister is not allowed to leave, no matter what I say today, I will stay and eat now, I will go to the kitchen now, and tell them to cook a few more dishes that my sister likes, you sit first." As he spoke, he got up, pulled down Hua Junyi's sleeve and twisted it gently, "Junyi, talk to the fifth sister." ”

With a wink, he walked out of the room. Leaving Jiao Niang and Hua Junyi, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while.

Jiao Niang pursed the corners of her mouth unnaturally, and Hua Junyi coughed dryly.

After a moment of froze, Jiao Niang took the lead and said: "When I went to the street, I accidentally saw this Gu Kaizhi's "Picture of a Wild Goose and Water Bird", and I knew that you liked his painting and gave it to you. ”

Hua Junyi took a luodian black lacquer painted wooden box, opened it and took a look, the picture scroll inside was a scroll, and the wooden box was carved with five words: the picture of geese and water birds.

"It's a waste of money. He said lightly.

Jiao Niang raised a smile, "It's not a big deal, just like it." ”

Hua Junyi looked at Jiao Niang's smile, and her mood was a little complicated.

Since he got married, Su has always persuaded him to care more about Jiao Niang and Brother An, who are his own sister and younger brother.

But she didn't understand that it was really difficult for him to accept them in his heart.

For so many years, in his heart, the existence of the third aunt and the Jiao Niang Brother An was like reminding him that he, the eldest son of the Hua family, was not rightly named. At that time, he wished that the three of them would disappear in this world, and even when he heard that the third aunt was dead, he did not have a trace of sadness, but breathed a sigh of relief. He naively thought that with the death of the third aunt, no one would remember who he was born to.

But since Jiao Niang scolded him and heard the words from his mother, his heart seemed to have changed a little. He couldn't tell what kind of change it was, but he was no longer as resistant and repulsive to Jiao Niang and Brother An as he was before. And for his mother, he couldn't do it as if he hadn't heard anything, as before.

"Then you can stay and eat, I still have something to do, go to the study first." He didn't know what to say, he just felt very uncomfortable with Jiao Niang's eyes, so he excused himself to leave.

Jiao Niang smiled and watched him leave, the smile still on her face.

After staying in Licheng for a few months, she didn't feel anything else, only one thing, that is, the kind of kinship of the second room family inspired her.

She also hopes that one day, their brother and sister will no longer be estranged, and yearn for the day when Hua Junyi loves her sister like a lobby brother treats Qiao Niang.

Accepting her gifts and keeping her for dinner should be a good start.
