What Cheng Guogong said just now was not a polite remark.

After entering the house, Xu Yuan found that there was a square mahogany table in the middle of a room in Nuoda, on which a lot of wine and food were placed. The dishes are raw and cooked, and there are several hot pots standing next to them.

At this moment, Xu Yuan finally felt the love of the people from Jinju for the pot.

And at the moment, these wines and meats are not the protagonists now. After listening to the elders exchanging a few words, Xu Yuan obviously felt that the eyes of the whole room fell on her.

Cheng turned his head to Xu Yuan and smiled, "Yuan'er, I came forward to see your grandfather and grandmother. ”

Xu Yuan obediently stepped forward a few steps, walked to Cheng's side, and made a big salute to Li and Cheng Guogong: "Shuyuan has seen her grandfather and grandmother. ”

Before this set of rituals came, Xu Yuan had already practiced countless times in his yard, and it was smooth and impeccable to do it at this moment.

Li smiled and helped Xu Yuan up, looking at the little girl in front of him while helping her.

The clothes Xu Yuan wore today were set up for him by Cheng. A lotus-colored skirt with a beige jacket looks well-behaved and particularly flattering.

The eyebrows are Zhou Zheng, and they also look a little similar to Xu Qingyu and Cheng. Li nodded silently in his heart, took off a jade bracelet from his wrist, and sent it to Xu Yuan's palm.

This jade bracelet is warm and moist, and it must not be ordinary.

Previously, Cheng said to Xu Yuan that if the elders gave it, it would be impossible to give up. So she accepted the jade bracelet with peace of mind, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

In Li's impression, Xu Shuyuan is still the delicate and soft child she was back then, but after so many years, she is now a big girl.

Li Shi felt a little emotional in his heart, and said to Xu Yuan: "Now that you can return to your father's mother, you are still blessed." Let the past pass, cherish the present days. ”

This didn't sound very pleasant to Xu Yuan, but she still nodded very respectfully and responded with a smile.

Cheng Guogong on the side also greeted Xu Yuan a few words, his words were as simple and sincere as his appearance, Xu Yuan's impression of this grandfather was much better than that of his grandmother.

Xu was afraid that Xu Yuan would actually feel restrained, and after seeing that it was almost there, Cheng said: "Yuan'er, there are your cousins over there, you can get to know them." ”

Xu Yuan looked to the side and saw two girls standing one after the other. One is wearing pink and the other is green, and the appearance of the two of them does not show any similarity, and it looks quite a bit like red flowers and green leaves.

Seeing this, the little girl in red, who looked relatively small among the two, walked up to Xu Yuan, climbed Xu Yuan's arm cordially, and said, "Cousin, come with me, I'll take you around our Cheng Mansion." ”

Xu Yuan was a little uncomfortable about the sudden familiarity of the person opposite, but she still responded generously, pretending to inadvertently brush off the little girl's hand and say goodbye to the elders.

The little girl in red walked in front of Xu Yuan as usual, and led her to a small garden north of the main courtyard.

After arriving at the small garden, the little girl in red smiled at Xu Yuan and said, "I haven't introduced myself to my sister yet, I am the second daughter of the Cheng family's big house, Cheng Jingyun." ”

He pointed to the green-clothed girl beside him: "This is my sister Cheng Jingqiu." ”

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Xu Yuan feels that this young lady is very clear in the word "Shu".

Cheng Jingqiu, who had been accompanying guests with peace of mind, finally had a sense of existence, bowed his head and saluted Xu Yuan: "I've seen my sister." ”

Xu Yuan was also busy saluting these two sisters.

Counting up, in the Cheng family, there are only the two in front of her who are the same age. The rest of the girls are either out of the cabinet and married into wives, or they are just little hairy children.

When Cheng Jingyun and Cheng Jingqiu stand together, they give people the feeling of movement and stillness. Cheng Jingyun has a very obvious self-esteem and pride of a concubine who has not been restrained, and she has hardly given her sister more than a look. Cheng Jingyun has been a transparent person all the way, and it is not easy to reduce his sense of existence to such a low level.

Xu Yuan is actually not good at chatting with a little girl of this age, but Cheng Jingyun is very lively and talkative, and can always find a suitable topic to continue chatting with Xu Yuan.

There was a conversation without a match, and somehow, Du Jingqing, who was staying in Xu's house, was suddenly mentioned.

Cheng Jingyun said: "Miss Nadu said that she was staying in your Xu family, but in fact, how is it different from defection?" It's just a better way to say that the traitor is a traitor. Anpingbo Mansion has supported her for so many years, and it is Ansheng that she is gone, but she has not thought about the consequences that her leaving will cause to Anpingbo Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she also knew a little about Du Jingqing's affairs, so she said: "How can my sister say it is so serious." ”

Seeing that Xu Yuan's face was pale, Cheng Jingyun did not continue the topic, and said, "When our sisters first met, we didn't mention others. My sister comes with me, there is a lake pavilion here, let's go there and sit. ”

Xu Yuan followed Cheng Jingyun's footsteps and walked through a winding bamboo forest path at one end, and the road suddenly opened up, paved with stone bricks, and there was a small lake surrounded by a stone fence, and there was a pavilion in the lake, but there was no road leading there. The lake is on a higher ground and looks very interesting.

Xu Yuan glanced twice, saw a small boat on the west side of the lake, and said, "The water in the capital flows low, and the water surface in this lake is actually higher than the ground." ”

Seeing Cheng Jingyun hinting at her to speak, Cheng Jingqiu said cowardly: "There is a culvert under here, and then ......"

Then there was no result for a long time, Cheng Jingyun took over the conversation with a little impatience, and said: "Our Guogong Mansion is adjacent to the Guan River, and we have led living water to repair the lake here. ”

It turned out to be living water, no wonder it looked like the water was rippling. Although Chengfu is not far from the Guanhe River, it is definitely not close, and it is also a great project to be able to divert water from the Guanhe River.

And there are many maids and ladies waiting by the lake early in the morning, waiting for the ladies to come and play.

Cheng Jingyun took Xu Yuan's sleeve and said, "Sister Shuyuan, let's go by boat." ”

The boat was not large, so the accompanying maids could only wait by the lake and wait for the ladies to go up to the pavilion before taking the boat.

The two rough envoys were rocking the oars behind them, and Xu Yuan sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the pavilion in front.

Originally, she wondered why it was a cold day, and why Cheng Jingyun invited her to come to the Lake Pavilion to see the scenery, not afraid of being caught by the wind together. This was a little closer to the pavilion, and she realized that this was not actually a pavilion, or rather, it was more appropriate to call it an observation deck.

The hexagonal pavilion is surrounded by cloth and transparent tulle on five sides, just enough to block the wind and not affect the view. There are also two slender little maids in the pavilion, who seem to be lighting the small stove in the pavilion.

Xu Yuan just wanted to sigh at the delicacy of this pavilion, but caught a glimpse of Cheng Jingyun's body crooked, as if he was about to be planted in the water.
