Xiangru walked into Madder's room, the room was lively, a group of people were talking and laughing and chatting very happily, Xiangru sat down next to Madder, and Osmanthus 'Flower' untied the burden and 'handed over' the jewelry box to Xiangru, and Xiangru then 'handed over' to Madder.

"Come, this is a gift for you, I am afraid that your luggage will be too heavy, so I only bought some clothes, and you can take them back and distribute them to your sisters. These pieces of jewelry are for you, see if you like it. ”

Xiangru opened the box, and there was a flannel cloth bag on the surface, and beautiful clothes underneath, and when she untied the cloth bag, it was the pearl jewelry.

"It's so beautiful! All for me? Madder was surprised and delighted.

"It's all for you, you deserve to return to your hometown, of course, you have to dress up nicely to meet the villagers." Xiangru gently took off Madder's stud earrings and replaced her with pearl earrings, a pair of butterfly pins adorned both sides of the bun, and there were hairpins and 'flower' hairpins in the box that were useless.

The masters and uncles clapped their hands and praised, "It's beautiful." ”

"This is a pearl and a gild, Xiangru, will it be expensive?"

"What's so expensive, I earned the pearls, but I 'spent' some gold and handicraft money, which is not very expensive."

"Xiangru, you are so amazing, you have only been out of the palace for two years, and you have earned so many pearls?!"

Xie Ziyan and the others all laughed happily, "You don't know in the palace, Xiangru is very good at business, and one idea will let her earn a full sixty pearls, and they are all foreign seafood pearls from across the ocean, and people are willing to hold the pearls and send them to her, so you just have to accept the herbs and don't be polite to her." ”

Madder was so surprised that she couldn't speak at all, 'touching' 'touching' her ears and looking at the box, "Xiangru, you sell it for so much money with one idea?" It's more profitable than you as a food doctor. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a living."

"Listen to it, is this infuriating? Her 'medicine' restaurant is running water every day and our monthly money for a few months, but it is not so irritating. ”

Xia Baotong made a gesture to reach out to twist Xiangru's cheeks, Xiangru smiled and quickly dodged, and the others also laughed.

"Madder, don't think that Xiangru is poor, she just bought a new house with three entrances not long ago, just on the edge of the inner moat, from the back 'door' out of the river, the feng shui is so good, you will have the opportunity to go back to the capital in the future, you must not forget to go to her house to live." Xie Ziyan also joined in and teased her apprentice.

"Uh-huh, definitely." Akane smiled as she took off her beautiful jewelry and put it in the box and wrapped it again, "If you take home such a valuable gift, the villagers will definitely think how good life is in the palace." ”

"Hey, you have to pay attention to this, don't let people think that the imperial officials are full of gold and pick it up casually, the work of serving people is not easy to do, if someone asks and talks, you can pay attention to the measure." Xie Ziyan told Madder.

"Well, I know, I've been serving girls for a few years, and I know the proportions in my mouth." Madder nodded obediently.

"The people in the township are simple, it's okay, there is curiosity, you just pick up some trivial things in daily life and talk about it, and if you prevaricate with the palace rules, they won't inquire more." Xiangru has experience in this matter, she was like this to her grandfather's family at the beginning.

"Say something that can be said, you can't say a word that shouldn't be said, one day is ***, and you will be bound by the palace rules for life, fortunately, as long as you control your mouth, there is nothing else to ask, no one in the local government will be full of food and support every day to check whether you respect the palace rules, and the days should be taken." Xie Ziyan: They have been out of the palace for so many years, and this is how they have lived.

"Well, I'll pay more attention, don't worry, master, uncle." Madder smiled and nodded obediently.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, when Akane returns home, she has her own measure, let's clean up, the banquet should be sent in a while, and after dinner, let's go shopping around the neighborhood and talk to the family about life in the palace, it's far better to talk about the fun of the capital." Xiangru said as she started to tidy up the tableware on the table.

The girls hurriedly stopped and didn't let Xiangru do anything, they took over and cleaned up the table quickly.

Not long after, someone knocked on the 'door' outside the 'door', and the postman came with the guys from the restaurant to deliver the meal, and Aunt Rong also had a copy in the house. It's just for show, of course, it's going to be full.

After the meal was set up, the outsiders retreated, Xiangru first went to drink three glasses of wine with Aunt Rong, and then returned to the madder house to drink with everyone, a meal was lively and lively, and when I was halfway through the meal, I heard someone knock on the 'door', and when I opened the 'door', it turned out that it was other old *** who had returned to the hometown to toast from house to house, and they naturally ate a light meal provided by the post house.

Everyone toasted each other, then closed the door and sat down again.

After the meal, after a short rest, the girls went to ask the postman for leave, and the benefits of the two 'milky' oil cakes in the morning came in handy at this moment, and the postman readily agreed, only asking for the return before dark.

Before leaving, Xiangru also invited Aunt Rong, Aunt Rong originally wanted to go out for a walk, but when Xiangru added the place they planned to visit, Aunt Rong felt that it was too far away, she was old, and she was full at noon.

Xiangru herself didn't plan to really take Aunt Rong to visit the capital together, her words themselves were suspected of being misleading, since Aunt Rong was on the set, she would no longer waste time, and she asked An to retire with full courtesy, and went shopping happily with her master, Uncle Akane and others.

Madder has been serving in the palace since she took the Chinese medicine exam, and has never been on a business trip, so this time she left the palace and returned to her hometown is the second time she has set foot on the ground of the capital since she went to Beijing ten years ago, and the 'excitement' and joy brought by freshness and curiosity are fully understood by everyone, and it is also up to Madder to go back and forth on the street like a happy rabbit.

But whenever she looked at the things Xiangru looked at twice, they would immediately pay for it, and after Madder had all kinds of gadgets in both hands, she said she didn't want anything, "Enough is enough, don't buy any more, I'll see, the master and uncle have already given too many gifts, and my luggage is already very heavy." ”

After everyone laughed for a while, they followed her wishes, and only looked at it and didn't buy it.

"Female" people love to go shopping, today everyone is happy, shopping is full of energy, originally wanted to take a look at the street market near the post house, but unconsciously walked farther and farther, until finally felt a little tired and then looked at the surrounding environment, only to realize that it had gone a long way.

I found a teahouse of acceptable size, asked for a private room, and the 'women' drank tea and rested for two quarters of an hour, and then started to return with their spirits, they did not call a carriage to follow, and they had a pleasant stroll when they came, and when they went back, a pair of soles of their feet were going to suffer some sin.

When everyone returned to the post house, the sky was gradually darkening, and it was the right time to come back. Everyone sent Madder back to the room, sat for a while, Xiangru went to say hello to Aunt Rong again, and drank a cup of tea with her.

Back to the madder house, the same farewell, this time is from the bottom of the heart, "traffic" is inconvenient, "female" people should not go far "door", after the madder returns to the hometown, I am afraid that there will be no chance to return to the capital, the more we say, the more sad we are, the sadness of parting gives rise to tears, everyone can't hold back and finally hug their heads and cry, and the girls and sons finally persuade their sons to take care of their bodies.

The postman came in to send the light, this is the meaning of sending the guest, the postman did not know, but the people in the house knew the rules of the post house, and they were very grateful to the postman for giving them some more time to say goodbye, and did not send the lamp in early.

Now that the lights have been lit in the house, Xiangru and the others can't stay any longer, and they make an appointment to see them off early tomorrow morning, and Madder sends them downstairs to the big 'door', watching the masters and uncles get into the car and walk away.

Xiangru took the car back home when the sky was already dark, in order not to find the wrong house 'door', osmanthus 'flower' also deliberately sat on the wheel and squeezed with the coachman, but did not expect to see a strange scene, belonging to Xiang Fei's side of the house all the street 'door' on the 'door' lintel are hung with the word Xiang red lantern, this is the owner at home meaning.

"Girl, look, the lanterns are hanging in the house of the third master of Fei."

Xiangru had actually seen it through the car window, and she also felt strange, why did the lantern hang up in this house.

But regardless of the hanging of the lanterns, the good thing for now is that they serve as guiding lights, and with their guidance, the coachman stops the carriage effortlessly and steadily in front of the 'gate' of Xiangru's street.

Osmanthus 'flower' patted open the street 'door', Xiangru got out of the car to pay the fare and agreed with the coachman to pick up tomorrow, and at the same time, the little guys opened the street 'door' to welcome them out, and sent Xiangru to the back room to rest with lanterns, shouting all the way, "The girl is back." ”

The girls in the house immediately rushed out, and Xiangru felt warm as soon as she stepped into the main room, isolating the cold outside.

Xiangru went back to the bedroom first***, the bedroom was also warm, Xiangru took off her coat before sitting down, the girls came in with hot water, the washing water was poured into the basin, and the hot tea was sent to Xiangru.

Drinking tea and washing her face dispelled the chill in her body, Xiangru called Erni to ask her what was going on next door.

"Girl, we were about to talk about this, Third Master Fei is going to move over."

"Do you know why?"

"I don't know about this, Fei Sanye didn't 'show up' today, only his subordinates moved furniture, and lit lanterns outside the 'door' when the lantern was held in the evening. We asked, and we said we moved in a few days. ”

"Why did Third Master Fei suddenly move so quickly?" Osmanthus 'flowers' are also very puzzled.

"Maybe I had a quarrel with my family, who knows." Xiangru irresponsibly guessed, "Have you made dinner?" Let's eat, I'm hungry. ”

The girls immediately hurriedly retreated, and in a moment brought a meal of four dishes and one soup. That night, Xiangru rested early, got up early the next morning, ate a bowl of glutinous rice balls with sake lees to make breakfast, and the coachman came to pick up on time at the appointed time.

Aunt Rong and Aunt Rong go out of the city in different directions, Aunt Rong goes out through the city 'gate' on the west side, but Madder walks through the city 'gate' on the south side. Xiangru first watched Aunt Rong's carriage set off at the 'gate' of the post house, and then got into her own carriage and followed the carriage of Madder with her master and uncle to the 'gate' of Nancheng.

After leaving the city, they were sent ten miles to a street pavilion, the post soldiers stopped the car and let them say a few last words, and the 'women' surrounded the carriage and cried, and the girls and women of several families kept stuffing silver into the hands of the post soldiers, asking them to take care of them more along the way. Escorting the palace *** back to the place of household registration safely is the main task of the post soldiers' errand, and after collecting the money, the post soldiers smiled on their faces and slapped their chests loudly, making every effort to ensure that there would be no accidents.

There were two old *** who walked with Madder all the way, and everyone also stuffed them with silver money and snacks, just begging them to take care of Madder more along the way as elders, and the two old *** were naturally full of promises.

Time waits for no one, and if you delay it any longer, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch up with today's accommodation, and the moment of separation has finally arrived, and the carriage has finally faded away in the tearful eyes of Xiangru and others, turning into a small black dot and disappearing at the bend of the official road.

Madder embarked on the return journey home, and Xiangru and her master and uncle also said goodbye to each other after gossiping, and each got into the car to return home

Entering the 'Door'
