Chapter Twenty-Seven: Visiting Guests

"Grandmother Hua, don't you see that Qingdai is all back? Don't worry about this matter with Brother Jiu. Qing Dai took Mrs. Hua's arm and said coquettishly, Mrs. Hua glanced at Hua Shaoyan, and then looked at Qing Dai, then nodded and said, "Then this time Grandmother Hua will spare your ninth brother first." ”

"Shaoyan, a letter from Beijing, the Queen Mother's birthday next month, someone from the palace asked a few times, let you go and say goodbye! Your dad wants us to go back as soon as possible. Mrs. Hua picked up a few letters and handed them to Shao Yan, "When the fifteenth Yongning Bo is decided, we will leave for Beijing." ”

"What did Shao Yan tell you about last time?" Speaking of returning to Beijing, Hua Shaoyan was 11,000 unwilling, and when he heard that someone from the palace was coming, he secretly wondered if his mother had any idea again.

"Don't worry, I've got the letter back. I'm not in the house, and they won't assert themselves. Mrs. Hua didn't care about the presence of outsiders, and continued, "Don't make trouble anymore, I'll thank God." ”

"Grandson's province!" Hua Shaoyan bowed down to the old lady, "Thank you grandmother for your kindness!" ”

The old lady of Shangguan said politely: "Brother Yan's literary talents and martial arts are outstanding, and he rarely has the habits of the children of the nobles in the capital, who are several times stronger than my two grandchildren, what are you not satisfied with." ”

"Don't praise him, he can't afford to be boasted." Mrs. Hua waved her hand and said, but the smile on her face could not hide her pride, after all, the old lady was still very satisfied with her grandson.

Qing Dai squeezed her eyes at Hua Shaoyan on the side, I won't help you, you won't be able to get through!

Thank you!

The two secretly made eye contact, and each understood. Later, Mrs. Hua asked the two to stay for dinner in Ruian Hall, and asked Hua Yuan to be informed, and only sent them to the town at night.

Qing Dai followed her grandmother to live in the Mingyu Courtyard for five days, from Tsinghua Town to the courtyard inside and outside the house, during which she naturally got the delicious food sent by Hua Shaoyan, fun, until the Wuzhou Shangguan family sent someone to report that the Wang family was coming, Mrs. Hua released the person, Qing Dai carried a large bag and a small bag with her grandmother back to Wuzhou City.

Wang Gan and the two elder brothers of the clan came to Wuzhou and went to the Yongning Bo Mansion to make a decision for Wang Yang. Xuan's and Wang Tao didn't follow, but Wang Gan brought some small objects to Qingdai, two hairpins and five fashionable purses, which were brought by Xuan, and a box of clay dolls of the four beauties, which was given by his little cousin Wang Tao. The clay puppet is vividly shaped, Qingdai looks very fond of it, and praises her little cousin for being intimate, and she will be able to coax her future cousin-in-law to turn around when she grows up. In addition, the old lady of the Wang family brought a letter and invited the old lady of June to live in Jiangning. The old lady is already in good health, so she should naturally go down.

On May 15, the Wang family made a decision. On May 20, Mrs. Hua and Hua Shaoyan left Tsinghua Town and returned to the capital. The old lady didn't go to see her off that day, and Qingdai stayed in the house. On the second day, I heard that someone from Mingyu Courtyard was coming, and when Hua Shaoyan left, she gave Qing Dai a jade butterfly pendant the size of half her palm, saying that it was a parting gift, and it was also a token that he owed her a promise. Qingdai was happy to have something to take, so she gladly accepted it, and the promise of the child to play at home had long been forgotten. However, I heard from the person who sent the things that when Hua Shaoyan and Mrs. Hua left that day, the carriage used by the officials and squires to see off the farewell was blocked by the water in Tsinghua Town, and Qingdai secretly thought that it must be her grandmother's foresight that did not suffer this crime.

After the Hua family left, it began to rain lightly in Wuzhou City, and it rained for half a month before it stopped. On the fifth day of the sixth month, Mrs. Hua took Qingdai to Jiangning by boat.

The waterway was slow, but it didn't have the bumps of a horse-drawn carriage. Qing Dai, who spent her last life in the water town when she was a child, has been on a small boat on the lake in this life, and when she first got on the big boat, she was really afraid that her body would have seasickness, but fortunately this situation did not happen. On the boat, the daily homework has not been left behind, in addition to reading and reading, she also carries Mama Zhu and the old lady on her back, and from time to time secretly takes the apricot blossoms to make a slingshot to tease the water birds, and life is also enjoyable.

After six days of sailing, Jiang Ning finally arrived.

Under the bright sunshine, the willow trees on the shore danced with slender branches, and the sound of friendship echoed between the branches, and the sound was endless. Qing Dai got off the boat and saw an endless stream of merchants, travelers and boatmen dressed in various costumes coming and going on the wharf, and from time to time there would be a loud horn in her ears, they were telling people the busyness of the wharf in the most simple and simple way, and it was a sign of how prosperous the city they were going to enter was in such an era.

"Girl, the carriage is waiting over there, there is chaos on this dock, let's go quickly?" Yinhong frowned slightly as she looked at the rough porters not far away, and couldn't help but raise her hand and fan the end of her nose, "Slave and maid, take you away." ”

"Oh, good." Qingdai didn't protest, Ren Yinhong picked herself up and followed the old lady and the housekeeper sent by the palace to pick up people and walked out of the dock.

got in the car, got out of the dock, looked at the street scene outside through the bamboo curtain, and Qingdai deeply realized that compared with Wuzhou, Jiangning is comparable to a metropolis. There are rows of antique buildings on the side of the road, most of which are two or three stories high, but occasionally you can see four or five storey restaurants. Among the guests who came and went at the door of the restaurant, Qingdai could still see one or two blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, she couldn't help but say in her heart, could it be that Jiangning here is a foreign trade port?

After driving for two minutes, they arrived at Wang's house.

"Girl, it's here!" Yinhong got out of the car with Qingdai, the black lacquer door inlaid with gilt beast heads, two stone lions stood on the left and right arch guarding the door, and the gilded big characters black lacquer door plaque shimmered in the sun.

A row of servant women stood at the door with smiling faces, and asked the old lady and Qingdai to change cars and go to the second gate. When they arrived inside, they had their own sedan chair and waited, and carried the two into the inner courtyard. Qing Dai thought all the way, the rules of this high-ranking family are troublesome, compared with the Hua and Wang families, the Shangguan family is simply too far behind the size of the house and the rules, and the background should not be as good as behind these two families. What makes Qingdai puzzled is that her own mother should be low-married, but she doesn't seem to be liked by her cheap father, and she forgot her daughter, what is the reason for this?

When she arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. Wang lived, Qing Dai was stunned by the full house of women, and she was about to catch up with the party in Mingyu's courtyard, up to Mrs. Wang, and the characters of several grandmothers who were close to her, including a daughter-in-law like Xuan's, three or four cousins' cousins, and seven aunts and eight aunts gathered in a room, and the welcome ceremony was extremely grand!

Mrs. Wang is a kind fat old lady, without the heroism of Mrs. Shangguan, she is kind and kind like a Maitreya Buddha, and her facial features can't find any resemblance to her male uncle. When I saw the old man Qingdai, he took two handfuls of tears that missed his daughter, hugged Qingdai and refused to let go, so that several daughters-in-law persuaded them for a long time before letting go, and then pulled Qingdai to look and see, look and see, and nod and said: "It's just right to be a daughter-in-law for Brother Tao......"

On the side, Xuan's eyebrows were overjoyed. Qing Dai thought sadly, this is not a family that does not enter the door, why did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law come up with her idea?

Then I heard my grandmother's voice like a heavenly sound, "Hehe, the children are still young, and their hearts are undecided, and we will talk about them when they are older, and we will see their creation...... Hey, don't be kind to our elders, but in the end we become resentful couples......"

Old Madam Shangguan sighed infinitely, which made the smile on Old Madam Wang's face become solemn, and only after a while did she sigh and say, "Okay, no matter what, I'll talk about the future later." ”
