After heaven, Sister Wang Gui held the treasure vase, sat in a small sedan chair, took four mothers-in-law to send off relatives, and carried the big boat and the sedan chair into the backyard of the Lian's house. Lian Zhenyun was busy arranging for his cronies to take over Qinghe's affairs, but he didn't pick up the sedan chair, so he had to be picked up by his aunt Lianxiang at the door of the backyard.

Sister Gui followed the rules of entering the door and stood under the stone steps outside the hall first. Banye stepped forward to report to the door, Lianxiang responded, and Banye Fang turned around and led Sister Gui into the door, ready to serve tea and greet the ceremony.

Sister Gui secretly raised her eyes to look at Lianxiang, only to see that although she was young, she had long eyebrows and apricot eyes, a dignified expression, a double-headed luan hairpin, two gold rings on her ears, wearing an agarwood-colored makeup wide shirt, a close-colored muddy gold silk skirt, and a pair of golden lotus feet at the corners of the skirt, Zhou Zheng was pitiful. This kind of character and dress immediately beat Sister Gui'er's heart to win by half.

Banye pulled a brocade mat, and the seed was served with a cup of Furen vegetables, Sister Gui knelt down aggrievedly, and took the teacup, "The slave maid asks for peace to my aunt, and my aunt drinks tea." ”

Lianxiang looked at this Sister Gui, dressed in bright clothes, only ten ** years old, born very standard, with spring in the corners of her eyes, wind on the tips of her eyebrows, a little red mole on the tip of her right eyebrow, and a fragrant tea bag wrapped in silver and gold wrapped in gold cuffs, so she was not romantic. He also nodded secretly, took the tea, and called to get up. Let Sister Gui meet with Rui'er and Terrier and bow to each other, and Sister Gui has since become Lian Zhenyun's concubine.

When the lamp was in charge, Lian Zhenyun went back to the room to eat, Lianxiang saw that there were four bowls and eight plates, nothing more than roast duck, chicken, fat goose, fresh fish, seasonal vegetables, fresh fruits, etc., Lian Zhenyun was on top, Lian Zhenyun sat on the side of Lianxiang, and the concubine Sister Gui, Rui'er, and the stalk branch stood aside and waited. The girls stood on their sides.

Lian Xiang took the silver sieve from Rui'er's hand, poured a cup of Yangzhou wheat soju into the big silver flower cup, and presented it to Lian Zhenyun. She turned her head and glanced at Sister Gui'er, and said to Lian Zhenyun carefully: "Master, Sister Gui'er has something to do, and I want to ask Master to show me." ”

He didn't even raise his head, "Say it." ”

Sister Gui hurriedly knelt down in front of the banquet, "Master, Third Master Qi plans to have a tea ceremony in the next few days, carry my sister Yuegou'er across the house, and take her to the capital together."

Because there was no master mother above, Qi Sanye asked Yue Hook to meet Mrs. Xiantai, so that he could enter the door. The slave and maid asked the master to spare a favor, and asked the aunt and grandmother to invite the county lady to come to the house, and the slave and maid introduced the aunt and grandmother to the moon hook. ”

Lian Zhenyun took a sip of wine. "I heard Qi San say this. He's leaving. I will also give him a send-off wine. Ming'er did it together. Lotus incense. You have people prepare the table. Tomorrow's second master, Qi Sanye, and Mrs. County Taiwan are all invited. ”

Lianxiang heard that Qi Su Niang was coming. Rejoice in your heart. Hurriedly responded. Turning her head to let Sister Gui get up. Day 2. Lianxiang got up early in the morning. Freshen up. I went to the kitchen to see that people had breakfast and went to Sister Gui's room. Then he carefully prepared the table.

A tea ceremony was prepared. Forty plates of refreshments. Mostly steamed pastries. Shortbread sprinkles, fruit cakes, desserts, etc. There was another big table. There are 10 kinds of dishes. Ten side dishes. Five kinds of pickles. Five beets. Ten delicate fruits. And Qinghe sweet wine, Yangzhou wheat shochu, Zhili Cangjiu three kinds. It was very rich.

Over there. Although Qi Su Niang wanted to go to Lian Mansion for a long time. Talk to Lianxiang. But even the house is busy. Ready to move to Yangzhou. It's really hard to bother. She asked Qi Qiang to borrow Lian Zhenyundi's backyard as a gift. Although it was to be introduced through Sister Gui. But it was also an opportunity to see the meaning of lotus fragrance.

"Ansheng. Even the big boss went to Sister Gui'er's house to go to the ground, but it was a pair of gold. Two pairs of gold pendants. Three kinds of fruit soup tea. Four boxes of peecock tongue tea cakes. Ten horses of makeup satin ground tea ceremony? ”

"I inquired about it and understood. That's it. An Sheng smiled and helped Qi Su Niang pack up the tea gift box. Let the official carry it to Yuegouer's house in the back street of the county. He also made people prepare sedan chairs.

It was the first time that Qi Su Niang was kowtowed to offer tea, and when she saw Qi Qiang's first person, she also changed into a festive silver-red wrinkled gauze shirt and a red Hangzhou silk satin skirt. She muttered to herself, "I don't know what kind of temperament this Yuegouer girl is, what kind of birth she is like...... Qi Qiang slept outside the flowers and willows, and he has wrapped his sister in Gaoyou and the capital, but he has never mentioned carrying it into the door. Last time, although there was a girl he liked by the Qinhuai River in Jiangning, he was nowhere to be seen, and now the one who came in didn't know where he liked it.

An Sheng heard Qi Su Niang's self-talk, and hesitated slightly, "Little look, the uncle brought the girl in the moon hook, all for her eyes, born like it"

"Ansheng" Qi Qiang

Outside, it sounded, "The sedan chair is ready, please come out." Qi escorted the green nickname official sedan chair and came to the gate with An Sheng. He sent Qi Su Niang to the back, and he and Li Siqin were waiting for Yuegou'er's sedan chair to arrive, and Lian Zhenyun was taking care of affairs on the side.

Lian Xiang was waiting in front of the door, Qi Su Niang happily took her hand, looked at it carefully, saw that she had a delicate complexion, bright clothes, and no panic in her eyes, knowing that Lian Zhenyun did not treat her badly, she let go of some worries.

Rui'er and the terrier came up to greet her, and led Sister Gui to visit, Sister Gui was suspicious in her heart, looking for an opportunity to really look at Mrs. County Tai. I saw that she was not much older than Lianxiang, her appearance was generally outstanding, but she was tall and slender, gorgeously dressed, although her eyes were smart, her demeanor was calm, and she looked a little more shrewd than Rui'er, thinking that she had seen the world in the palace, and she was a serious official wife, so she didn't dare to look for an opportunity to spy, but just stepped forward to kowtow to tea.

Qi Su Niang took Sister Gui'er's golden orange candied tea, put a flower hosta on the tea tray, and a piece of silver Ruyizi, made a meeting gift, and invited Sister Gui to stand up.

Qi Su Niang looked carefully.

Seeing that although she is handsome, graceful, and her posture has not crossed Rui'er and Terrier, but her eyes are smart, and her eyebrows are very charming, which is completely different from Rui'er and Terrier's serene and peaceful, it is no wonder that Lian Zhenyun carried him into the house, thinking that he was greedy for a fresh taste.

Thinking of this, Qi Su Niang turned her head to look at Lianxiang, but saw that she was beautiful and delicate, far above the third daughter, and couldn't help laughing: "If my future sister-in-law is like Lianxiang, she will be satisfied." ”

Lianxiang invited Qi Suniang to get off the main seat, went to the tea table, changed a wooden osmanthus tea, and said with a smile: "Madame laughed at Lianxiang again, Qi Sanye is an official in the capital, and he has seen a big world, Lianxiang is like this, he can't look down on it." He turned his head and said with a smile: "Sister Gui'er's sister is blessed, let's see what kind of character makes Qi Sanye fall in love with it later." ”

Sister Gui'er hurriedly accompanied Xiaoqian, "Yuegou'er was pampered by my mother when she was young, and she was young, so she didn't know how thick the sky was, and she had to ask Mrs. to teach." ”

Qi Su Niang smiled and said: "Although I also want to be closer to her, it's just that my brother will be on the road in two days, and I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will teach her in the future." After a pause, "If she can be like Rui'er and Terrier, it will be my sister-in-law who enters the door, and she can only be respectful and loving, where to teach." ”

Sister Gui responded with a smile, but she felt that the aunt and grandmother in the Qi Mansion were really not a soft and gentle person, no wonder she could still hold on to her brother when she got married, and make ideas for him for these internal affairs.

Qi Su Niang saw that this Sister Gui'er was presumptuous, although she lowered her head, she always looked at her from the corner of her eyes, she was not a peaceful person, her expression was quite similar to what she was sent by Yundian Shi when she first came to Qinghe, and she retreated back to the four maids when she entered the door, so she used words to suppress one or two. But when she said these words, she was not happy in her heart, although she was very happy to see Lianxiang in charge, but it was not worth it to see Rui'er and Terrier waiting respectfully on the side. I only feel that the wives and concubines, sisters and sisters in this mansion are full of appetite.

Qi Su Niang picked up the wood osmanthus tea, took a sip, heard a burst of firecrackers outside, and knew that it was the sedan chair of the moon hook. Lian Xiang hesitated for a while, and wanted to stand up and go outside, but seeing Qi Su Niang not moving at all, she smiled in her heart, and sat down.

Qi Su Niang glanced at Sister Gui and said with a smile: "According to the rules, it is more decent for you to pick up outside than we will pick up, Sister Gui, don't complain that I'm not welcome." ”

Sister Gui naturally knows such rules, but if Mrs. Xiantai also goes outside to pick it up, Yuegou'er's worth will rise. When she entered the door, she heard that even the corner of the big boat was leaking, this Aunt Lian was a criminal slave, if it weren't for the old woman who died in the Xu family to pave the way for her, stuffed into the county Tai's adult's house, and tied up with the county lady, she would have been sold to which private house in Yangzhou would have been sold to her. Where can I be a serious side house I also secretly inquired about this county lady, but it was also a girl bought by the Chen family, if it wasn't for the fact that she had served the queen mother and the emperor in the palace for a few days, and had a noble person like the emperor and brother as the master, where could she be a six-grade wife? The nobleman has called the ground, and he is a cat and a dog, and he is more noble than ordinary people," Madame said. Auntie, grandmother, slave maid want to go outside to have a look, so as not to make the moon hook unaware of the etiquette and make people laugh. ”

Lianxiang nodded and said, "It should be like this, Sister Gui go quickly." ”
