The house in Wutou Lane is the ancestral home of the Cheng family.

The Cheng family is different from the Mu family, and they are hereditary nobles of Dahua. The ancestor was the prince of the country who was personally crowned by the ancestors, and then he was dismissed from the title because of the wrong team in the battle for the heir, and the property was confiscated, until the former Marquis of Weiyuan Congrong, and Mu Tianhe made war exploits together with the first emperor to seal the title of marquis, and the ancestral house was returned.

Because the ancestral house of the Cheng family is an old house, the layout is very regular, and it is not like the garden of Mufu.

The three Mu Xiuyuan brothers went to the middle gate to meet the Marquis of Weiyuan. The three cars stopped at the second gate, and Huaxi and the others got out of the car and changed into a blue cloth soft sedan.

In winter, the sedan curtain was sealed, the stove under the seat was extremely hot, and in the small space, Huaxi's face was so hot that it was hot. Until he entered the inner courtyard and got off the sedan chair, Huaxi's face was still red. When I turned my head and looked at the others, most of them were similar to myself.

After entering the door and passing through the hall, the maid who led the way led the five people to the warm pavilion at the back.

Lifting the door curtain and entering, the heat in the warm pavilion came to my face, exuding a sweet fragrance, and I was drunk.

It is an apricot fragrance. Huaxi's nose was very sensitive, and as soon as he entered the house, he smelled the aroma emanating from the furnace, frowned, and then concealed the different emotions in his eyes.

"I've been waiting for a long time, but you're here." Mu Xiangqing got off the kang and greeted him. Today she wore a home-style jacket with dark green and white plum trim, a white silk face gray squirrel brown skirt, and a circle of dark green twinked branches embroidered on the skirt, which made her more and more delicate and elegant.

"Auntie, it's well!" Huaxi and others successively saluted Mu Xiangqing.

"It's cold outside, let's all sit on the kang." Mu Xiangqing pulled Yun Yi, who was walking in the front, to sit on the kang.

On one side of the warm kang is a red sandalwood marble kang screen, on the other side of the small kitchen there are two rows of books, and a set of blue and white tea sets are placed on the kang table in the middle.

The kang is not big, and it seems a bit crowded to sit five or six people. Yun Lin and Yun Ning sat on the edge of the kang and didn't go up, Huaxi whispered a few words to the maid, the maid moved two pestles and put them on the edge of the kang, and Huaxi pulled Yun Xin to sit down.

Mu Xiangqing smiled at Huaxi, and ordered the maids to serve hot tea and snacks.

"Auntie, what kind of food is this? Yun Ning is the first time to see you. Mu Yunning pointed to a plate of golden fruit balls brought by the maid, and asked Mu Xiangqing with a curious expression.

"This is a tribute brought from the island of the South Seas, and it seems to be called longevity fruit. Five baskets were sent to the palace, and one basket was left in the house. Mu Xiangqing explained to Yun Ning with a smile, and pricked one with a skewer and handed it to Yun Ning, "This is peeled, there is a hard core in the center of the fruit, and I asked the maids to cut the pulp into small balls." Come, taste, it tastes good. ”

A small table was set up between Huaxi and Yunxin, and a plate was served. Huaxi took a side look, hey, this thing seems to be...... I pricked one with a skewer and put it in my mouth, and I guessed it correctly, it was a mango.

The last time I ate mangoes was more than ten years ago, but I didn't expect to see them again today, and Huaxi, who has long been accustomed to living here, can't tell whether it is joy or sourness in her heart.

Yun Ning took a bite of the mango ball and nodded in admiration: "Well, it's so sweet, it's really different from the taste of those ordinary fruits in Beijing." There are a lot of good things in my aunt's house. ”

Mu Xiangqing touched Yun Ning's head and said with a smile: "Hehe, Yun Ning likes it, bring some back when you go home." ”

"Thank you, auntie."

Yun Ning's smile became sweeter and sweeter. Yun Lin squinted slightly and looked at Yun Ning, who was stealing the limelight as soon as she came, her face was not very good-looking, but she held back and did not have a seizure.

Yun Yi didn't see Cheng Xiaolin, and asked, "Auntie, where is the little cousin?" ”

"In the western room, the nurse took it. You just happened to be in time, and he just fell asleep, and I was free. Otherwise, if the little ancestor wakes up, but the sky is upset up, I can't stop for a moment. Speaking of his son, Mu Xiangqing had a gentle smile on his face.

"Oh, asleep? I was just trying to see my little cousin. ”

Yun Ning's eyes were full of regret, Mu Xiangqing patted her hand, "Don't worry, you have to stay here for a day today, and when he wakes up, there are times when you are annoyed, hehe!" ”

Yun Ning said coquettishly, it's too late for her to like her little cousin. The playful words made Mu Xiangqing laugh.

Mu Yunlin lowered her head and sneered, but she didn't quarrel with Yun Ning from beginning to end, in addition to laughing with Mu Xiangqing, she occasionally catered to Yun Yi and Yun Ning a few words, and even Hua Xi on the side felt puzzled, thinking that this eldest lady had stopped today, and was she going to go back and find trouble with Mu Yunning.

Accompanied Mu Xiangqing to talk for a while, the outer courtyard reported that a guest had visited, Mu Xiangqing went out to socialize, and after a while, Mu Xiangqing came back, accompanied by a middle-aged woman, followed by two girls.

The woman was in her forties, with a beautiful appearance, her hair combed in a phoenix bun, a royal blue gown embroidered with pomegranate flowers trimmed with mink fur, and a dark brown pleated skirt. The two girls who followed behind him were about twelve or thirteen years old, one was wearing a peach-pink silver silk peony flower jacket, a white flower-sprinkled skirt, a small face with melon seeds, and beautiful eyebrows; The other is wearing a lotus pigment jacket on the top, a large skirt of the same color on the bottom, the same melon seed face, and a pair of hanging phoenix eyes, with a bit of charm.

"Come, eldest sister, these are some nieces from my own family. Come and greet Mrs. Ann Yongbo. Mu Xiangqing introduced the middle-aged woman to Huaxi and the others.

An Yongbo's wife, Cheng Shi, is the sister-in-law of Weiyuan Marquis Cheng Chong, and is the step-family of the current An Yongbo Zongzhengxing.

When Huaxi and the others heard this, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Ouch, please get up. I see, isn't this Yunyi? And Yun Lin...... I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I'm getting better and better. The younger siblings have good feng shui at home, and the people they raise are all top water spirits. ”

Cheng knew Yun Yi and Yun Lin, plus one was Mu Xiangqing's niece, and the other was the daughter of the current Marquis of Zhenyuan, so he naturally praised a few more words. Turning his head and asking about the three of Huaxi, Mu Xiangqing introduced them one by one. When it comes to Huaxi, Mu Xiangqing only said that the daughter of a distant relative, after the death of the family, the old lady took her home to raise her on the friendship of helping each other in the old days.

Cheng looked at Huaxi's beautiful complexion, with foreign blood, and knew that there was a difference, but he didn't ask any more, just smiled, and then took two golden hairpins from his head and gave them to Yun Yi and Yun Lin, took off the two bracelets on his wrist and gave them to Yun Xin and Yun Ning respectively, and rewarded Huaxi with a purse. Huaxi stretched out his hand to take it, pinched it gently, and estimated that it was something like gold and silver.

Mu Xiangqing introduced the two girls who came with the Cheng family sisters to the Mu family, the one wearing the peach pink jacket was Zong Wanlan, the daughter of the Cheng family, and the one wearing the lotus lotus shirt was Zong Youlan, the daughter of An Yonghou, the two were the same age as Yun Ning, thirteen this year, and Wanlan was half a year older than Youlan.

The daughters of several juniors greeted each other and were considered acquaintances.

There are no concubines in Weiyuanhou's family, and the only heirs are Mu Xiangqing's two sons, Cheng Xiaoxuan and Cheng Xiaolin.

Cheng pulled Mu Xiangqing to talk elsewhere, leaving Wanlan and Youlan to play with the Mu family sisters.
