As soon as Sanniang got out of the car, a maid wearing a pink vest greeted her and greeted her respectfully. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

"Slave agarwood, please say hello to the third lady." The voice was crisp and pleasant, with some excitement that could not be concealed.

Sanniang got out of the car and had a little weak legs, and was holding Bai Ying's hand. Hearing the sound, he looked at the girl, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "It is said that the more water you go to the north, the more you will raise your head." I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're so tall that I almost don't recognize you. ”

Seeing that the third lady was still as kind as ever, Agarwood felt warm in her heart, smiled at Sanniang, and said naughtily: "That's because the slave maid has to eat two large bowls of rice every day, because with the slave maid, the kitchen steward always complains that the rice is not enough every month, and then he fills it with pasta." ”

Sanniang and several girls around her were stunned when they heard this, and then couldn't help laughing.

The main production in the north is wheat, and the daily staple food of northerners is still biased towards pasta. It's just that when she was in the Wang family, the old lady preferred rice, and there was a dowry Zhuangzi in the south who specialized in producing good rice, so the staple food of the Wang family was rice.

There are not a few people in the capital who like pasta, but people like Wang Dong, who have a family background of imperial court Lu rice every year, will not even be able to afford to eat rice. So we all know that agarwood, this narrow girl, is telling jokes.

"You're still so naughty!" Bai Yingyin was older than Agarwood, so she taught her a lesson with a straight face, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

When Agarwood was in the Wang family before, because Bai Ying always walked around Songling Courtyard, she was the most familiar with her, and when she heard this, she said with a look of grievance: "Sister Bai Ying, you still like to teach people." ”

Bai Ying saw her playing treasure. I can't hold back a "poof" smile.

At this time, Wu Niang also let people lead people to this way. A few people stopped laughing.

Agarwood changed her respectful and well-behaved face, and said softly: "Please come with the slave maid, the master and the lady are already waiting in the hall." ”

Sanniang nodded, and glanced at Wang Jing's carriage on their side, and Agarwood hurriedly said, "Young master, they have also been brought in." Miss Three don't have to worry. ”

Sanniang followed the agarwood into the second gate in the southeast.

This is the second entrance of the whole house, and in the middle is a large open-air courtyard with more than a dozen potted plants on both sides. Because it was already autumn, there were only branches and leaves left, and Sanniang couldn't tell what kind of flowers it was.

Among them, two large locust trees are connected to the cornice. Because it's been some years. In addition, it is now the time of fruiting, and the treetops are heavily weighed down by the pods, obscuring half of the sky.

Sanniang once heard that the locust tree was heavy because it had a ghost word. In fact, in ancient times, especially in the courtyard houses in the north, it was very common to plant locust trees, because according to the courtyard feng shui: locust is Lu. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair" So if you want to succeed in your career, you should plant locust trees in front of the door and in the courtyard.

In the courtyard is also placed a pair of half-person-high large fish tanks with pastel figures on blue ground. It's just that it's still quite new, and there are no fish in it yet.

The east and west sides of the courtyard are the east and west wings, and each side has three rooms.

"Third Miss. You and Miss Five will live in the West Wing in the future. Agarwood pointed to the wing road to the east.

Sanniang nodded, and glanced at the West Chamber with Agarwood's fingers. The paint on the carved red door is still very new, and it should have been repainted when Wang Dong first moved in.

Sanniang inadvertently glanced at the east chamber again, and suddenly found that there was a gap in the room on the south side of the east chamber, and someone poked out his head and peeked over here, and when he saw Sanniang looking over there, the man quickly retracted his head again.

Sanniang couldn't help frowning when she saw this.

Sanniang's expression, which Agarwood had been paying attention to, also glanced at the east wing when she saw this, and then whispered to Sanniang: "Third Miss, there are Madame's cousins and cousins living in the east wing over there." They also moved in the day before yesterday. ”

Sanniang raised her eyebrows in surprise, she had only heard that the Xue family had a thin population before, and there was no one left in the Xue family after the Xue Hanlin family suffered. Even some side branches moved out of the capital for fear of being implicated.

Agarwood then explained in a low voice: "I heard that this Miss Ruyu's father is a cousin of Madame's father, and he died at an early age, leaving behind this mother and daughter. Seeing that this Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue were not doing well, she asked Mrs. Xue to take someone over. ”

Sanniang tilted her head and listened carefully, but she didn't make a sound. At this time, he was almost under the porch of the main house. Sanniang glanced at Agarwood, and Agarwood stopped talking alertly. raised his voice and said, "Young masters, please go here, the lord and the lady have been waiting for a long time." ”

Sanniang smiled and nodded: "There is a girl of Lao Agarwood." ”

Wang Jing and Wu Niang also came, but Aunt Cui was led by a mother-in-law through the corridor next to the ear room to the back cover room. It seems that she doesn't want her to see Wang Dong and the Xue family today.

She walked side by side with Wu Niang.

"Third sister, what are you muttering to that little girl?" Wu Niang suddenly asked in a low voice.

Sanniang smiled: "I asked her to introduce me to the layout of this courtyard, so as not to go wrong in the future." ”

Wu Niang nodded when she heard this: "Just now the girl named Mulian also introduced this courtyard to me, I remember everything, if the third sister doesn't understand, just come and ask me." ”

At this time, Wang Ji and Wang Zhang had already entered the bright room of the main room, and Sanniang and Wuniang didn't speak anymore when they saw this, and hurriedly followed.

Wang Dong and Xue sat on the main seat.

Wang Dong was wearing a royal blue moire tuanhua deep coat, and his face did not change much, but his beard was longer, and he looked more majestic. Xue Shi wore a big red carved gold butterfly with flowers and a big sleeve jacket today, combed a high conical bun, inserted a pair of red gold inlaid treasure three-winged warbler feather hairpins, and a pair of gold silk chrysanthemums to cover the sideburns.

Sanniang, Wuniang and Wang Jing stepped forward first to give a big gift to Wang Dong and the Xue family.

"The child visits his father and his mother."

Wang Dong still looked like he was not salty, but Xue smiled softly, and personally reached out to pull up Wu Niang, who was closer to him.

"Hurry up, it's cold on the ground."

Wang Dong also nodded and said lightly: "Get up." ”

Sanniang and the others got up and stepped aside, and Wang Ji, Wang Zhang, and Wang Rui brothers came forward to salute Wang Dong and Xue.

The bright room of the main room is not small, but there are so many people coming at once, and it seems a little crowded.

At this time, Wang Bai, who didn't know where he had just gone, also came in, and after meeting Wang Dong and the Xue family, Wang Dong asked: "Why did the eldest brother come at this time, just leave the outside affairs to Quan Fu." ”

Quan Fu is the head of the outer courtyard next to Wang Dong, responsible for the exchange of favors in the officialdom, and has been following him in office.

When Wang Bai heard this, he snorted and turned to something else.

A group of Wu Niang secretly turned her head and looked at Sanniang and squeezed her eyebrows. Wang Bai's beauty did not enter the inner courtyard, presumably Wang Bai was looking for a place to settle the beauty just now.

"It's hard to talk here, let's go to the outer courtyard. Madame has already ordered a table to be prepared in the outer courtyard, and you must be hungry. Let's eat first. Wang Dong stood up and said to Wang Bai.

The Xue family also hurriedly stood up: "The concubine has already arranged a place to live in the outer courtyard for Uncle and Brother Jing. ”

Wang Dong said softly to the Xue family: "I will let Quanfu go to Zhang Luo, you are tired after a hard day." Open a seat in this hall and let Sanniang and Wuniang accompany you to use some. ”

Xue nodded softly at Wang Dong and smiled, and sent Wang Dong and the others out of the main room.

When Xue turned around and came back, only Sanniang and Wuniang were left standing on the side of the room. The hall, which had been a little crowded just now, was much more empty.

The Xue family is only a few years older than Sanniang and Wuniang, and they don't have much contact on weekdays, but now that they are staying in one place, the Xue family is a little embarrassed that they don't know what to say.

When he sat in his seat, he found that Sanniang and Wuniang were still standing.

"Ah, sit, sit, don't be restrained." Xue Shi said busily.

Sanniang smiled in her heart when she saw it, a few years have passed, and the Xue family's youth is still the same. It's her own.

Sanniang and Wuniang thanked each other and sat on the chairs on the side.

"How are you doing on the road?" Xue thought that as an elder, he should care about his two stepdaughters, so he asked.

Sanniang nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you mother for your concern, everything is fine." Smooth sailing along the way. ”

"That's good." Xue nodded, but then he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, at this time, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a tall and thin woman in a brown gown walked in.

Xue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Madam, the meal is ready, will we start eating now?" Mama Xue asked.

"Let's set the table then." Xue nodded.

Mama Xue turned her head to see Sanniang and Wuniang, turned around and saluted them: "The old slave gives the third miss, and the fifth miss asks for peace." ”

Sanniang and Wuniang didn't dare to sit down and accept the salute, so they got up.

Sanniang and Wuniang accompanied Xue's to eat, because they were really tired, so they only sat for a while, drank tea and quit.

It was Agarwood who led Sanniang to the West Chamber.

At the moment when she had just eaten, Mama Zhao had already instructed the girl to move Sanniang's daily things to Sanniang's house. Sanniang lived in the one in the north of the west chamber, and Wuniang lived in the one in the south. The middle room was reserved for two people.

Sanniang's room is quite spacious, a set of eighty percent of new furniture, pineapple wood inlaid whale bone Wangzi Jackie Chan picture dresser, pineapple wood elephant bone glass painting easel bed, pineapple wood inlaid cloud stone square eight immortals table, pineapple wood base and frame embroidery pen lotus screen, a pineapple wood carved lion ball pattern long bookcase, there is a complete set of four treasures of the study.

"Miss, the furniture is all made of pear blossom wood." Bai Guo looked around and leaned over.

Bai Ying glared at Bai Guo.

Bai Guo looked at the agarwood and said embarrassedly: "It's all my own people, so what's the matter if you talk about it." (To be continued)
