Qingyi said, "Yuxi, it seems that there are really a lot of people in this palace, don't you see that this is very idle, your aunt's popularity is really a lot, I hope she can like our meeting gift." ”

Yuan Yuxi said indifferently, "This aunt has always been indebted to her because she passed it on to others, so her grandmother has always owed her in her heart, Mama Ji said that this aunt used to be in charge of the middle feed in the palace, relatively speaking, she is still a relatively domineering person, it seems that it is difficult for us to be quiet, at least grandmother's trick is very powerful, and she is arranged to stay in Liuchunju, which is where this aunt lived in her early years, and it has been in disrepair for many years, and the gap is too big compared to the main house of the luxurious grandmother." ”

Qingyi nodded and said, "It seems that this palace has started to be lively again, it's so lively." ”

After a while, a group of people appeared in front of Qingyi's eyes, before the old lady's yard stopped two carriages, out of which came out a bearded man, one meter seventy-five tall, full of beard, basically can't see what appearance is very burly, get off the carriage while taking care of his wife and children down together, the family knelt in front of the old lady and brushed the big voice and said, "Mother, the child is back, grandmother, grandson, granddaughter is back." ”

The old lady burst into tears of joy, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, just come back, just come back, this cold day, walk back to the house and say." ”

Several other masters also came back, following Qi Feng to say this and that, and the concubines were enthusiastic around the eldest aunt and grandmother Yuan Yuan, as if they hadn't seen each other for hundreds of years.

Qingyi pouted and said, "Yuxi, the people in this palace can't live for a day without pretending, you see how this is the kind of enthusiasm that will meet again after more than ten years of separation, and it is simply the kind of enthusiasm that will meet again after hundreds of years, and I am not afraid of others." ”

Yuan Yuxi smiled and said, "The people in the palace are like this, I have long been used to it, that bearded man is Qi Feng, the military general of the fourth grade of Licheng, a militant, but he is brave and strategic, so this official position in the northwest has come to an end, at this time I came back to Beijing to report on my work, I guess I don't plan to leave, baby, how many cars do you see they drove back?" ”

Qingyi took a look with a telescope, good guy, this superb aunt is really the best, this carriage is several miles away, there are probably hundreds of cars, this feeling is that all the belongings have been brought back, and I really don't plan to go back.

Qingyi smiled when she looked at that superb aunt, it was really funny, this aunt was round all over, and the height difference between her and the old lady was not enough, it should be less than one meter six, and the wind and sand in the northwest were relatively large, so the skin was a little dull and dry, and it was black.

But even so, I am wearing the material of the unique satin in the northwest, which is not expensive, but it is still a good material in the northwest, and it is a grade lower than the crescent moon brocade.

The most important thing is that this aunt likes exaggerated headdresses, especially the silk flowers are so big, Qingyi compared, about the size of her two palms, or a red silk flower, pinned near the ears between the temples, her two daughters are basically like this.

Qingyi was a little skeptical and said, "Yuxi, these women in the northwest all use such big silk flowers, is it possible that this taste is so special, this flower is bigger than the face, it is really this mother and daughter The three of them look more troublesome than the other." ”

Yuan Yuxi glanced at it and said with a full appetite, "It's hard to say, because this aunt likes exaggerated things, so this northwest or Licheng may be popular with such a look, but it will definitely not be so exaggerated, especially with such a big flower, I am dizzy when I look at it, and with that dark complexion, I haven't seen it for more than ten years, and there is not much growth." ”

Qingyi saw that this family was really such an exaggerated appearance, even the man was wearing a big crown, the red gold crown was the size of a bowl, four circles larger than Yu Xi's delicate crown, and it was almost the same as wearing a small hat, so the gold was very heavy and uncomfortable?

Sure enough, before the old lady's house arrived, these people shed tears, the eldest girl Yuanyuan was round and rumbling all over her body, and her fat body twisted and squeezed the concubine aside, and she dominated the old lady's arm and said with tears in her eyes, "Mother, Yuan'er misses you so much, burns incense and kowtows in Licheng every day, hoping to bless her mother with peace and security, and live a long life." ”

The old lady also burst into tears and said, "Okay, a good boy has filial piety, it is a blessing for his mother, Yuan'er, my mother should also worry about you, are you good in the northwest?" How is it at my in-laws' house? ”

Yuan Yuan said, "The old people in the mother's family have left one after another, and now there is only our family, and we will have to rely on my mother more in the future." ”

"The good boy said that the palace will always be your home, and your yard will be kept for you. The old lady had mixed feelings, but she did not forget to arrange the accommodation of her most beloved daughter.

After the old lady said it, Yuan Yuan's eyes flashed with unknown emotions, she didn't come back to live in Liuchunju, she lived there just to live closer to her mother and get more care.

Now after the family comes back, this spring house is too small, how can the family live? But there are some things that can't be rushed when I just came back today, so I'll take a look at it first.

Soon the family was talking happily together, the scene was very happy and harmonious, and the aunt of the palace, Yuan Yuan, said, "Mother, why haven't you seen Yuxi's child for so long?" I heard that the child has already taken a wife? Didn't you say that you were getting married in a few years? How can it be so fast, who is the other party? ”

Yuanyuan, the eldest aunt of the palace, said, "Mother, why haven't you seen Yuxi's child for so long?" I heard that the child has already taken a wife? Didn't you say that you were getting married in a few years? How can it be so fast, who is the other party? ”

The question of Yuan Yuan, the aunt and grandmother of the palace, made the old lady's face stiff, and Yuan Yuan, who was good at observing words and feelings, immediately realized that her mother definitely didn't like Yu Xi's daughter-in-law, so wouldn't her daughter have a chance?

That's the throne, not to mention the prince in the northwest, even officials above the third grade are difficult to see, and their family has relatives like the palace in the northwest, which is not bad, but as soon as they returned to Kyoto, they found their own gap, and the best way to smooth out such a gap is to marry.

Yuanyuan, the eldest aunt of the palace, thought of such a possibility in her heart, and she was already happy, especially the mother definitely didn't like Yuxi's daughter-in-law, with her own means, as long as she had a foothold in the palace, what could she not do?

So Yuan Yuan immediately looked at her daughter Qi Beibei, Qi Beibei immediately lowered her head shyly, and the big yellow silk flower between the temples next to her right ear also lowered her head shyly, and what she saw on her whole head was the big silk flower.

Several ladies in the palace laughed when they saw this scene, but the meaning was unknown, this big house was going to be lively, but the taste of these two children was really good?

The old lady looked at her granddaughter with her daughter's gaze, that delicate look, she had some ideas in her heart, she hadn't seen this Beibei for ten years, and the child had grown up and become a beautiful big girl.

The old lady smiled and said, "Yuxi got married a few years ago, it is the will of the saint, the other party is just a child of a Jiangnan businessman, just married for more than two months, and now Yuxi does not have any side room through the room, my old man basically does not interfere in the affairs of their room, and their young people make trouble by themselves." ”

Aunt and grandmother Yuan Yuan tasted the meaning of this in detail, and she was very proud, and thought that it was a royal princess, a concubine of the Houmen or something, it was just a merchant, what is so difficult about this? This aunt's cousin has been dead for generations, and the bones are connected to the tendons, what a good marriage.

Especially the two daughters Beibei are sixteen years old, and it is the age of flowers, and Cancan's child is also fifteen years old, and the very important thing to come back this time is the marriage of the children.

Yuan Yuan especially understood what it meant to not have any side room, and she smiled even more, and the elegant red silk flowers between her temples moved more with her movements, and she was dizzy when she looked at it.

Everyone chatted together for a while, and the old lady said, "Yuan Yuan just came back, you take the children to clean up the yard first, and at night take the children to kowtow to the elders in each room, now this matter is not in a hurry, you go back first to see where there is something inappropriate, hurry up and let the next person go back to me, and prepare a reception banquet for you tonight, you are tired all the way, go to wash it first." ”

The old lady means to tell everyone not to forget to bring a meeting gift at night, otherwise it will not give you face, the aunt and grandmother are the happiest one, busy greeting a few sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law, and thinking about what you can give at night, it will definitely not be bad.

Their family is busy working in the northwest, the northwest is short of materials, how much silver can be had, compared to them, the family is still too thin, this time back is very important is to enrich the family is true, there will be a lot of mother.

This time everyone is busy all morning is tired, now the yard is basically independent, each room has its own kitchenette and laundry room, although the management is more cumbersome than before, although it is enough to take care of the yard addiction, but the fly in the ointment is that each room now do what to do their own money, so they have to try their best to save.

Whenever they think of the pain of spending silver, they are jealous of Qingyi's smashing of the big kitchen and laundry room, the more they think about it, the more angry they become, but they can't do anything about the big house, this time the aunt and grandmother come back, just to make the big house lively and lively, and it's good to relieve anger!

Soon after a while, the people in the house were gone, Yuan Yuan also twisted her chubby body and took Qi Beibei back to Liuchunju, this Cancan's body was a little uncomfortable, and the eldest son Qi Qi took the younger son Qi Lin back to Liuchunju first, Qi Qi is seventeen years old this year, and it is not good for this house to be all women, so I went with a small rest.

After all, the old lady was old and a little tired, so she went to Mama Cai's service and put down her headdress and clothes, ready to rest for a while.

Mama Cai sat on the footstool on the side, fiddling with a needle and thread, in fact, Mama Cai's eyes are not very good, but she likes these brightly colored things, and the things embroidered from the purse look festive.

The old lady raised her eyelids slightly and asked, "Ah Lu, you have been with me for the longest time, you said that this time Yuanyuan, this child is in such a hurry to come back, is there any problem in the northwest, how can the whole family move back, it seems that he is going to live in the palace permanently, and it was not a big problem before he lived permanently, but now my money is also very tight, and I can't afford to buy them a house, so I can't bear it in my heart." ”

Ah Lu Mama Cai's nickname, without Mama Cai's help during this time, the old lady has lost too many things, and many times Mama Cai is the old lady's dog-headed military advisor, otherwise where can the old lady's IQ do so many harmful things and still deal with the aftermath?

Mama Cai weighed it in her heart and said, "Old lady, the slave maid has a shallow knowledge, and she doesn't have the old lady's foresight, just now I have asked the people to investigate, saying that this time the eldest lady has indeed moved all the things in the northwest back, the reason is because the eldest aunt has annoyed the overseers of Licheng in the northwest, and the two of them are just fighting for some military merits, which is not a big deal,"

"The main reason is that the eldest aunt thinks that it has been in the northwest for too long, and the fourth grade in the northwest is already a good official position, and it is not easy to go up, this position has been done for seven or eight years, and this military general is not a civil official, there is not much oil and water to take, this is not up or down for so many years, this time it is just in time to return to Beijing to report on work, the mother-in-law and father-in-law of the eldest girl's family have passed away one after another, and there is nothing to worry about, and the house or something will come back together."

In a short period of time, Mama Cai inquired so clearly, although she didn't know the details, but it was not easy, the old lady smiled appreciatively, "Sure enough, Ah Lu knows my heart best, these children are in front of my eyes, only this Yuan Yuan has been so far away, although it is not on the genealogy of the palace, but this is also my own flesh and blood, where do I have the old marquis so ruthless back then, sending his concubine out to be a son, it is really hateful." ”

If you want to say that the old lady is most dissatisfied with the old marquis, there was such a daughter back then, and even the concubines had no daughters at that time, the old lady regretted how she restricted these concubines from having children, and she had to take out her own concubines to go out, and the old lady made a lot of trouble for a long time for this matter.

The old lady touches her tears every time she says this, looking at her children who should have lived in fine clothes and food for so many years, although she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking in such a makeshift home, how can this life be as good as the Hou Mansion at that time? The most important thing is status.

Especially the husband and wife's family background is not thick, and the body is not good in a few years, and they finally passed away, which is why the old lady finally wanted the eldest lady to come back, but at that time the eldest girl was already in her teens, and the old lady didn't worry less about this child in those years.

Mama Cai comforted the old lady and said, "Old lady, these things the big girl will understand your hard work, although she has been in the northwest for so many years, but in terms of this money, the old lady has taken 23,000 silver every year, which is enough for them to live, the big girl doesn't know how to worry about your good, it's better to come back this time, can't the old lady see it every day." ”

The old lady nodded, and her heart was a little relieved because of Mama Cai's words, she was haggard recently, and seeing Yuan'er's child come back, it was also a happy event, and after a while, the old lady fell asleep with a smile.

Yuan Yuan, this kid is a powerful one, this time look at how the little hooves of the big house are still scared, and see how their girls join forces to fix this little hooves, hum, let you be proud for a few days.

The old lady thought that she could get all her things back, and she could snatch Qingyi's dowry, and she could make a fortune for her mother's family, and she could get the title of a prince's mansion, so she fell asleep with a happy heart.
