Chapter 31: Greetings

When Xiao asked, Mu Xiangqing collected his tears, "I will let the housekeeper send the gift to each courtyard." Brother Xuan went to meet his uncles. Brother Lin is too young, I have been in a hurry when I come back this time, so I stayed in Quanzhou and let the nurse take me, and returned to Beijing with Hou Ye at the end of the year. I guess I've been on the road for the past two days. ”

"Brother Yuan is eleven this year, right? You seem to have been away from Beijing for five years, right? Xiao didn't know where to think of it, and his voice was fluttering.

"It's going to be my tenth birthday in a month, and I'll be eleven years old."

"My aunt and aunt left after Brother Cheng got married. Four years and three months......," said the eldest lady Yin.

Xiao Shi said abruptly: "It's really old, and my memory is not good." ”

Yin's face was dumbfounded.

Mu Xiangqing hurriedly said: "Where did my mother speak, there are sisters-in-law serving you, and I see that your body and bones are stronger than when I left." ”

Yin Shi listened happily and nodded busily, "Grandma is right. ”

Xiao Shi also smiled, "Xiang Qing's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." ”

"Mother-" Mu Xiangqing screamed coquettishly.

Mu Xiangqing just entered the door and only cared about talking to the old lady, and didn't care about greeting the others. At this time, she finished talking to the old lady, and the old lady reminded everyone to pay respects.

Because only the old lady and Mu Xiangqing were in the house, they all saluted her. Although Mu Jizhong inherited the title, the Yin family was not given the title at the same time, which would hear the old lady ask her to take the lead in giving a gift to Mu Xiangqing, which made the Yin family depressed and even more annoyed that the third child caused trouble and harmed others.

Mu Xiangqing hurriedly said that it was not necessary, so he exempted the juniors from the courtesy, and only let the juniors come up to meet.

The four sisters of the Mu family and Huaxi gave Mu Xiangqing a salute.

Mu Xiangqing asked one by one, and when he saw Huaxi, his eyes couldn't help but turn red again, but he quickly stopped his tears, asked two more words in a gentle voice, and asked the maid to bring up the gifts for the five people. Five parts of the same, two bottles of imported flower dew per person, a small mirror with silver enamel lilies, and a pair of gold bracelets with enamel inlays, all of which are foreign goods. The five of them thanked and sat back in their seats.

"It's not easy for my aunt and grandmother to come back, and my mother has already instructed me to clean your original yard, and I wonder when you will come back every day. I'm going to have to stay a little longer when I come back this time. ”

Mu Xiangqing smiled and said, "Then there is Sister-in-law Lao." Hou Ye served in the Yamen of Quanzhou City for three years and never returned to Beijing. Taking advantage of the end of the year to enter Beijing University to report on his work, Hou Ye plans to stay a few more days to see the old colleagues. Xiang Qing was afraid that she would stay in Beijing for a long time, and was preparing to renovate the house in Wutou Lane, so she had to go home first to disturb her sister-in-law. ”

It won't take a long time to see that colleagues are old, and they have to renovate the house...... The other thing is that Wei Yuanhou may have to stay in Beijing for promotion when he comes back this time, and he will not return to Quanzhou.

Hua Xi was originally in the fugue, but when she heard this, she also retracted her thoughts. When she first entered the government, she may not have understood the Dahua official system, but she read a lot of books during this time and has some understanding. Dahua has five major foreign trade ports, Quanzhou is one of them, and 10% of Dahua's annual tax comes from foreign trade. The city shipping department is located in the foreign trade port in charge of the import and export of ships, goods, levies, trade affairs, although the promotion of the city shipping department is only the fifth grade, but it is a real fat difference, compared to Mu Jizhong Ding worried's predecessor from the four products of the false position is not a star and a half.

Huaxi raised his eyes and swept around, Yin frowned and looked at Zhao, but Zhao was at a loss, thinking that he didn't know the news in advance. And Feng's face showed a faint smile. As for the second lady Liu and the third lady Chen, although they were a little surprised, they didn't react much. Xiao Shi at the top was slightly surprised, and he looked down and didn't know what to think.

It seems that Mu Xiangqing's understatement must have a deep meaning, but he doesn't understand the court situation, and he can't understand what is hidden behind the Marquis of Weiyuan's fat trip back to Beijing. There is only one thing, Huaxi understands that the Xiao family is an imperial merchant and a family on the southeast coast, and the return of Weiyuan Hou to Beijing has a great impact on the Xiao family.

Xiao Shi quickly came to his senses, "Even if you want to live for a long time, you should re-clean the house in Wutou Lane if you haven't lived in it for a long time." You and Brother Xuan will live in the mansion first, and I will ask your sister-in-law to send some people over to help and buy some furniture and utensils. ”

Yin's face was embarrassed, and he muttered in his heart, what the old lady said...... It's okay to send someone, but you have to help buy furniture, and you can't give it away for nothing? You can't let me post this money myself, right?

Yin Shi coughed lightly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Mu Xiangqing say: "I have sent someone to hire a good craftsman for masonry and carpentry." This time I came back and brought some people with me, plus the old people left behind in the house, it was enough. It's just that I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, and the city has changed a lot, and there are several roads I don't know when I came back yesterday. There are many places that need to be used in the old house, and I have to buy them in the city, so I am afraid that the old people will not be able to do it, so I ask my sister-in-law to send a few competent people to help lead the way and ask for a price. ”

The corners of Yin's mouth smiled, "Grandma has seen the outside, this idea is wrapped up in the sister-in-law, pick a few familiar and clever ones, and ensure that the aunt and grandmother will not suffer." ”

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law."

Mu Xiangqing thanked him, and asked a few words about the situation of each room.

Outside, it was reported that the third master and the young master had arrived. The curtain was opened, and it was Mu Xiuyuan who came first, and Cheng Xiaoxuan, the eldest son of Weiyuan Hou, followed in.

Cheng Xiaoxuan Xiaohuaxi is two years old, with a small Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, born with a tiger head, and at a glance, he looks like his uncle Mu Jixiao, wearing a moon-white narrow-sleeved straight robe, the cuff neckline is embroidered with bat moire moire, tied with a rhino horn jade belt, decorated with a Pisces white jade pendant, and the long dark green silk hanging below swayed with his steps.

Mu Xiuyuan and Mu Xiangqing saluted and stepped aside, Mu Xiangqing stood up and helped him up, and then pulled his son to kowtow to the old lady.

Cheng Xiaoxuan knelt down and kowtowed, even if there was a blanket on the ground, he could hear a slight "bang", this head was really strong.

"Grandson Xiaoxuan greets his grandmother and wishes his grandmother a long life and good health."

"Good, get up and speak." Xiao Shi looked happy and beckoned Cheng Xiaoxuan to sit beside him, "Grown up." It was still a small point when I left, but now it's so high. ”

Hearing Xiao Shi say that he was "small", Cheng Xiaoxuan's face was slightly pale, and then he said with a small face: "In the past few years, my father has invited a martial artist to teach Xiaoxuan to practice martial arts, and his body is much stronger than before. Xiao Xuan is no longer a small one, and he will be a big general in the future. ”

Xiao Xuan patted his chest with a childish assurance, which made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was much better.

Xiao Shi also smiled and encouraged loudly: "Okay, in the future, Xiao Xuan will definitely be able to be a great general and glorify his ancestors." ”

Everyone echoed and praised the young master's ambition. Mu Xiangqing's face was overjoyed, and his eyes were full of relief when he looked at his son.

Cheng Xiaoxuan craned his neck, his face was full of joy, and suddenly his eyes caught a glimpse of a figure below, stood up, and asked happily, "Is it Sister Yunlin sitting over there?" ”
