5. Mansion Gate (1)
Words of Sixteen:
Ahem, I'm sorry, I have to explain that big family, I've compressed it N times, and in the end it's still so much......
Tears run......
Don't dare to ask for forgiveness, only weak requests, please be gentle when you shoot me with a brick, and give me a breath to continue to yard, right......
Crawling away weakly......

The old lady was the champion and the first, and now she is a bachelor of Hanlin who has become a scholar. The old lady is the lord of the real clan - although she is a little further away from the blood relationship of today's son.
The old couple had five sons and two daughters, of which the eldest son, the fourth son, the fifth son and the eldest daughter were concubines. The daughters have been married for many years, needless to mention, the eldest lord Nian Wei and the fifth lord Nian Qi are all in the field, the second old man Nian Yu died young, and only the third old man Nian Chong and the fourth old man Nian Yu are in Beijing. Because "the parents are here, there is no separation of the family", everyone still lives in one place, and the four-room family is in charge of the family.
Nian Liang is the eldest son of the eldest lord Nian Wei, because his biological mother, Mrs. Zheng, died three children in infancy, so although he is the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson, he is six in this life. Zheng fell ill after giving birth to the New Year, and died within a few years. Nian Liang was left in Beijing by the old lady and the old lady because of his frailty, so when his father let him go abroad, he didn't go with him.
There are 14 boys and 9 girls in this generation. Among them, there is an imperial concubine, the third lady is in the language. She is the eldest daughter of the fourth old man, who was elected to the palace ten years ago, and has successively given birth to two princes and a princess, and has now been promoted to a concubine, with extraordinary honor and unlimited scenery.
This is after the old lady married the county lord, the Nian family became the royal prince again. It's just that because of some of the unspoken rules of the Great Qin ancestral system to prevent foreign relatives, the concubines in the palace are all only rewarding utensils and not official positions, so the children of the full family have not been able to receive any favors in their careers because of this lady concubine.
But because the old lady is the county lord of the clan, according to the law of Daqin, the descendants of the county lord are all given titles, and this kind of knighthood is not inherited by the father and son, but by birth, and gradually reduced from generation to generation, and cut down in five generations. There are only four generations of the word "Yan", so these eldest grandsons of the lineage - the eldest son of the eldest family of the sixth master, the eldest son of the fourth room, the second master of the year, and the eldest son of the fifth room of the eighth master have the title of auxiliary captain, and their social status is still quite high.
The four rooms are in charge, so the fourth lady Hu is in charge of the inner house, and her two sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, the second grandfather's wife Shen and the fourth master's wife, Shi, help to help. The four-room concubine, the third master's annual news is released as the seventh grade of the county; In the year of the ninth master, he went to Enke to take the autumn examination and prepare for the palace examination next year; The twelfth and thirteenth years are still young.
In addition to the wife and grandmother of the house, the highest-ranking woman in the house is the widowed second lady Gao. Gao was born in a scholarly family, and his father was also a bachelor of Hanlin, and the old lady was an old friend in the same year. The old lady and his wife already liked the knowledgeable Gao family very much, and after the death of the second master, she took her daughter to guard for many years, and the old couple had a pity in their hearts, and they treated her better and better.
The second master did not leave a son, and the Gao family only had one daughter, the eldest lady Niannuo, who is now married to the Hu family of the Meizhou Wang family as a granddaughter-in-law - the fourth lady Hu is also from this family, but it is a side branch. Nian Nuo's husband is only thirty years old, and he is already a fourth-grade official, and he is a rare elite since Qin, even if he is a golden husband, no one in the Nian Mansion dares to snub the second lady.
The three-bedroom is comparatively much weaker. The third master is white, he was originally cooking some ancestral shops, and now he is concentrating on eating, drinking, and having fun for the elderly; The third lady was not from a high background, and she had no sons, so she raised the sons born to several concubines by her side. Uncle Sanfang was admitted to the martial arts in the year, and now he is in the Liaozhou military camp to ask for a background; The fifth master's visit and the seventh master's friendship are also not famous, helping the third master to cook the industry.

Through what Fennel said, Xia Xiaoman roughly summarized the current situation of the Nian family, the mansion gate, and there are many people.
I don't know if it's because my body is still weak, or if I have listened to too many words and my brain is a little wooden, Xia Xiaoman feels very sleepy now, and Fennel is still saying: "Our lady and grandmother have a good temperament, and there is only one fifth grandmother, which is really not good for ......."
Xia Xiaoman was about to interrupt Fennel's words and tell her to continue tomorrow, when someone came to visit the sick outside. The green cedar in the second grandmother's room and the green eucalyptus in the fourth grandmother's room.
It is not so much that they are here to visit the sick, but to check the effect of the "forgetting worries" for their master. That Granny Zhou also came, still smiling half-dead, her eyes flickering. Qingshan Qingyu said a few words with a smile, and the soup that had been boiled over there was delivered.
Xia Xiaoman was reluctant to drink the medicine, she was afraid of bitterness, and she was more or less afraid that the medicine would add "ingredients" - although this may not be logically true, but the body that has been drugged has some psychological shadows. But she doesn't want to drink it anymore, and she doesn't have a problem, the inspector is there, Granny Zhou, Qingshan, and Qingyu are all watching, how can she not drink it?
Xia Xiaoman closed her eyes, lifted the bowl and drank it all, her mouth and stomach were full of bitterness, her brows were twisted together, and she smacked her tongue. Fennel hurriedly held a small fruit box and handed it over, Xia Xiaoman grabbed a handful of candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, only to suppress the disgusting taste.
Qingshan Qingyu and Granny Zhou didn't stay long, asked a few more words, and came to a conclusion, they retired. It was already dark.
Xia Xiaoman said that she was sleepy and wanted to sleep, Fennel hurriedly wrung a warm hand towel to wipe her face, and called Cardamom to pour the soup woman into the quilt, and then served Xia Xiaoman to lie down, put the tent, put out a few lights in the house, and left only one place for getting up and lighting at night.
The moment the room darkened, Xia Xiaoman suddenly felt a little frightened, hurriedly lifted the tent, and shouted "fennel".
Fennel was spreading her futon on the opposite low floor, when she heard her master call her, she hurriedly turned around and asked, "What does the master want?" ”
Xia Xiaoman saw that she was laying out the quilt, and was stunned for a moment, so he asked, "You also sleep here, right?" ”
Fennel nodded and said: "The slave sleeps here, the cardamom sleeps outside, and when the master has something to say, the slave and the maid come to serve." ”
Xia Xiaoman said "um", she originally wanted to call for a few more lights, so that she would not be so scared if the hall was brighter. Now that someone slept in the same room with her, she was bolder, so she didn't need to light the lamp.
Fennel didn't know what she was thinking, and asked, "Master, ...... now?" Do you want tea? ”
Xia Xiaoman smiled: "No, let's sleep." He said that he lay down. Fennel hurriedly folded the quilt for her, covered the tent, and packed up before going back to sleep.
Xia Xiaoman listened to the fennel gradually becoming longer breathing, but she couldn't sleep, thinking of many, many people, likes and even dislikes, those people went through the motions in front of her one by one, making her scratch her heart and liver.
I want to go home, I want to do it very much.
She rolled over, and the ornament around her neck caught her attention again. It was dark in the room, and instead of taking it out, she reached out and held it through her clothes, and began to pray.
If you brought me here, then please bring me back......
If you hadn't brought me here, please bless me......
Anyway, what, what do you have to do?!
Ahem, this is indeed not an extremely solemn prayer, but Xia Xiaoman seemed to have received some kind of psychological hint, he didn't count the sheep, he didn't count the goats, he didn't count any sheep, and he fell asleep.
*
Sleep until you wake up naturally, Xia Xiaoman has hardly had such a time since he went to work. Because her residence is not close to the company, she has to take the bus for about an hour and a half every morning. In order to avoid the situation of too many cars and people on the road during the rush hour, she often gets up at five o'clock and goes out before half past six. Her strong biological clock allows her to wake up every day, even on weekends, even if she is particularly relaxed.
When she came to this world, I don't know if it was because of the jet lag in the biological clock, or if the body did not recover, she slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and saw two maids in ancient costumes standing next to the bed, muttering "sky" in her heart, it seems that she hasn't worn it back yet.
Fennel and cardamom saw that the master had been asleep, and they were very worried that she would not wake up again, but when they saw her eyes open, they were both very happy, and they smiled and said good morning, one rushed to fetch hot water for the master to wash, and the other went to the kitchen to pass breakfast.
Looking at the two maids like this, Xia Xiaoman felt that the sense of existence was very strong. It's not a dream, so accept reality...... She stretched comfortably and said to herself, let's start a new life!
