The gate of Li's house faces west, there is a small courtyard on both sides of the door, enter the door of a carved nine fish playing in the water map of the wall, turn the wall, it is the middle hall, the middle gate, the backyard, there are corridor houses everywhere, and the corridor houses extend out a number of small courtyards again.

When I entered the backyard, I saw the ancient trees towering to the sky, the rockery flowing water, and the flowers and trees supporting the comb, which was a few grades higher than the Ye family.

The father and son of the Li family led everyone of the Ye family until a large courtyard, Yunxi knew the three big characters of "Xufeng Courtyard" written on the door of the courtyard, the handwriting was round and clear, soft and rigid, quite skilled, and I didn't know who wrote it.

I think someone has already reported that there is already a middle-aged woman leading two young girls to greet them, it is Yunxi's aunt and two cousins.

My aunt and Ye Yuanchang are similar, with good facial features, delicate and beautiful, well-proportioned figure, bright eyes, ruddy and shiny complexion, and they are mature and full of age. Although Lin is two years old and his aunt is two years old, she is a decent person, and compared with her aunt, she is like an older sister.

The two cousins are naturally slim and elegant, like flowers and jade, but they are exactly the same, which makes it rare to see.

Seeing Ye Yuan and his party, Aunt Ye smiled before saying a word, greeted her warmly, and then took Lin's hand and walked inside, "I thought you could all arrive at noon, but I didn't want to go to the afternoon." ”

The Lin family had to explain again, Aunt Ye looked at Yunxi and Yunkai when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Reading is the right thing, Yunkai has to study hard, Yunxi, you can't slack off, although girls don't have to take the imperial examination, it's not a bad thing to study more." My aunt has a good pine smoke and ink here, and I will send it to you when I go back, and it will be a gift of enlightenment from my aunt. ”

"Thank you, auntie."

"Thank you, auntie."

As she spoke, she arrived at the main room, and Aunt Ye shouted loudly with a smile: "Mother, my mother's younger brothers and sisters have come to greet you." ”

Ye Yuanlin's and Yunjin saluted one by one, and congratulated the Li family's good son Lang on winning the Zhongjieyuan, and the future was immeasurable, and the old man and the old lady laughed.

Old man Li and his wife are proud, you must know that they were in business in their family era, and they were in business in the fourth place, which means that the status of businessmen is the lowest.

Although after the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were no regulations on clothing, frames, and housing during the Tang Dynasty, and the status of the Tang Dynasty was greatly improved, but the rule that the children of merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examination was still adhered to, and they could not take the imperial examination, thinking that they had no power, no power, and no matter how great the wealth was, it might be precarious.

Now, after the new official family ascended the throne, the children of merchants were allowed to take scientific examinations, their social status improved, and their own grandsons not only passed the examination, but also won the first name Xie Yuan, and had the qualifications to be officials. These days, whether it is in front of peers or relatives and friends, that face is earned enough.

When the heart is happy, the person is generous. Yunxi and Yunkai have never been to the Li family before, as a meeting gift, Yunxi got a jade Buddha full of water, Yunkai got a fist-sized Tianhuangshi, Ye Yuan saw that things were valuable, and he didn't accept it, and was shouted by the old man: "It's not for you, you don't have to care, come, Yunxi, Yunkai, the elders can't resign, come, take it." ”

If you can't quit, you can't quit, Yunxi and Yunkai smiled unceremoniously.

After Ye Yuan and the others visited the elders, Mr. Li asked his daughter-in-law to quickly take his brother's family down to rest, Aunt Ye nodded and agreed, and took the Lin family and daughter to settle the residence, as for Ye Yuan's father and son, Li Zhiyuan and his son were in charge.

Let's say that Aunt Ye led the Lin mother and daughter to a courtyard called "Listening to the Wind Pavilion". When I entered the door, I saw a few clumps of bamboo planted in the yard, and the late autumn wind blew, and sure enough, there was a rustling sound.

If you live in such a yard in summer, with a cool breeze and bamboo shadows, it would be great, but is it late autumn? It's a bit yin and deep, and it's a little scary.

Aunt Ye knew this, and after entering the room and sitting down at the table, she took Lin's hand again, "Brother and sister, I won't hide it from you, originally I prepared a "Autumn Courtyard" for you, and a few ginkgo trees were planted in that yard, and now is the time for beauty, just because you came one step late, you were robbed by your sister-in-law to place your niece, it's really a bully, I ...... my day," he said and wanted to cry.

Lin hurriedly comforted, "Eldest sister doesn't have to be angry, we live the same everywhere, besides, the bamboo in this yard is green, how beautiful it is, it is quite my favorite." ”

Aunt Ye was about to cry to the Lin family, but when she saw Yunxi staring at her curiously with wide eyes, she was a little embarrassed, wiped her tears, and said goodbye after a few words.

My aunt only had one son, and her body was injured when she gave birth to a daughter, but she still hasn't seen her uncle take a concubine, so she knows that she is very powerful. ”

After Aunt Ye left, Lin sighed, and without saying anything, he urged Yunjin Yunxi to wash up, and took Chunlan, Qiulan and Yuanyuan to place things.

Yunxi rubbed in front of the Lin family, "Mother, is what my aunt said true?" As he spoke, he wiped away his tears. ”

Lin knocked Yunxi's head with his hand, "What do you care about so many children?" ”

Yunxi rubbed her head, "Mother, let's talk about it, my sister also wants to know, isn't it, eldest sister?" ”

Yun Jin nodded seriously, "Yes, I see that my aunt's face is ruddy, and she doesn't look so pitiful." ”

Lin saw that Yunjin was also interested, so he sat down, although Yunxi was small, but Yunjin was about to reach the end, so Lin paid great attention to the teaching of Yunjin's sophistication.

She smiled and said to Sister Yunjin, "What your aunt said is also credible or untrustworthy, and I can't say it." Your uncle is at the bottom of the list, with three older brothers, two sisters, and more than a dozen younger generations, and a large family lives together, so it is inevitable to bump into each other. Your aunt has always been competitive and in charge, but the above three sisters-in-law are all from businessmen, all of them are capable, so she naturally has to be angry. These are trivial things, we don't have to worry about it, even if we worry about it, it's useless, besides, your aunt is a powerful person, and your uncle only has this one son, and your aunt hurt her body when she gave birth to two daughters, saying that it is a hindrance to the heirs. But look at it, your cousin is twelve or thirteen years old, and I haven't seen your uncle take a concubine, not even a room. This is not something that ordinary people can do......"

Yun Jin suddenly interjected: "It's not unusual, I think my father is very good to my mother." ”

Lin smiled, "That's right, your father is a good one, but your father is not in business, he stays at home every day to read and write, and the temptation is less, but your uncle is different, he often travels from south to north, what kind of temptation is not, and his three elder brothers have more than one concubine." ”

In this way, it is not easy for both aunt and uncle! This is the ancient age, this is a good year, farmers want to buy a concubine, a rich merchant can not take a concubine, it is indeed very unusual, although his wife is not a bad chaff, that is also very powerful.

The mother and daughter gossiped for a while, and someone sent a meal, and also sent a message, saying that there were still many chores at home, and there would be no banquet at night, and each room and courtyard would eat separately, but wait for the banquet tomorrow.

Lin had expected it and didn't care. The sequelae of Yunjin Yunxi's carriage ride have not passed, and he is happy to eat and sleep quickly.

After eating, Yunxi quickly washed up and lay on the bed, I don't know if he was too tired, or if this body has a problem with recognizing the bed, in short, he couldn't sleep for a while, lying on the bed and tossing and turning.

"Little lady, are you thinking about Fu Xiaolangjun?"

"Who? Fu Junzhuo, why should I think about him? ”

"Little lady, did you forget?" Yuan Yuan sat up from the night stand, "Didn't you ask me to inquire about Fu Xiaolangjun?" ”

Yunxi had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, although yesterday she was very angry that she didn't see Fu Junzhuo in the afternoon, but today she thought about it, he was just a little child, he was an adult, why should he be like him, he didn't have to lose his identity, although no one knew. But since the inquiry came, it didn't hurt to listen, and I couldn't sleep at this time anyway.

"Oh, this matter, then you can talk about it."

"Well, I asked Xiao Linzi, and Xiao Linzi said that he didn't know what Xiao Langjun did yesterday afternoon, but he only knew that he went to her mother's yard and went back after dinner there."

I know that's it, "Huh." ”

Hearing Yunxi's snort, Yuan Yuan hurriedly asked, "Little lady, is there anything wrong?" ”

Such a stupid girl, why is it from my family, your little lady doesn't know if she is looked down upon, what's wrong.

Yunxi was too lazy to teach her, and said perfunctorily: "Didn't I go to his house yesterday and didn't see him, curious, so ask." ”

"Oh." Yuan Yuanxin thought it was true, "Little lady, is it okay to wear that goose-yellow dress tomorrow, the one that takes advantage of the little lady's skin the most, and then put on that beaded flower, and then ......"

"That, it's not too late to think about it tomorrow, Yuanyuan, you're not dizzy in the afternoon, hurry up and go to sleep."

"Little lady, it's okay for me, it's still important to ...... clothes"

"Sleep!"

"Yes, little lady."

Yuanyuan was very excited when he was lying on the bed, I didn't expect the little lady to care about me so much, I was so moved!
