Chapter 177: Return

Yanran hugged Qian Xiaonan, saw that the situation was wrong, quickly handed the child to the nurse, reached out and hugged her mother-in-law, Wei Shi was already in tears, crying out with a "woo", and the red eyes of Yanran and the county lord of Yujie were red.

Wen Jin was still desperately carrying it, but now he has broken his work. She came to this world and has always been with the people of the Qian family, and she has long regarded herself as a member of this family, and now she wants to separate from them, no matter how determined she is, what reason she thinks, when it comes to the moment of breakup, she knows how difficult it is.

The county lord of Yujie has always been worried about being an older mother, not to mention that he is a little dependent on Wen Jin, although now there are Ge and Fang Mama in the Qian Mansion, and even Wei and Yanran can help take care of the housework, the county lord of Yujie still often feels anxious, and even when he sees Wen Jin, he can't help but be worried, and the imperial doctor suggested that Wen Jin had better leave the county lord's sight, which is also an important reason why Wen Jin promised his father to return to Xiao Mansion as soon as possible.

Seeing that a large-scale tear bomb battle was about to break out, Yuhe, who accompanied Xiao Yi to pick up people, knew that if he didn't stop in time at this time, he was afraid that his eyes would be swollen for a while, which would be even more unfavorable to the county lord of Yujie, she frowned, and thought about it: "County lord Niangniang, the style of this robe on your body is so strange, why haven't I seen other women wearing it in the capital?" ”

As she spoke, she walked over and pulled Yanran's sleeve: "Sister-in-law Qian, you were pregnant with a child at the time, did you also wear this dress?" ”

"No, the dress worn by the county lord's mother was made by Wen Jin from the tailor's shop, I heard that it came from time to time, what is it called maternity clothes."

"Hehe, there are also this style of clothes, county lord mother, you see, it's just for you, I see, you are lucky, this baby must be a son."

Sure enough, the emotions of several women were transferred, and the county lord of Yujie subconsciously asked, "Miss Mei, do you still look at your face?" ”

"We Miaojiang people will see that your steps are calm and powerful, and your posture is also tall and powerful, you will definitely give birth smoothly, and I heard that the one with a pointed belly is a son, and when my mother gave birth to a younger brother, you were like this."

Even Wei forgot to cry, and said that the monks from afar would recite scriptures, although Yuhe was still a little girl who didn't know anything, but she had a determined demeanor, and she really confused these people, Ge Shi took the opportunity to let people pack up Wen Jin's things, commanded the subordinates, and carried them out one by one.

Wen Jin didn't pay attention, she has only been in the capital for two years, and she has so much extra luggage, mostly clothes, as well as some ornaments in the house, although Xiao Yi only sent a car of thanks, but all of them are real money, silver, pearls and gemstones, and the value is very high, the lord of Yujie naturally wants Wen Jin to take all the things in the house away, this one is the face of the Qian family, and the second one is also to save face for Wen Jin, proving that she is not in front of her father, and she is also a much-loved woman.

Xiao Yi accompanied his daughter into the Hanging Flower Gate: "Jin'er, this second courtyard is big and convenient, do you want to live?" ”

"Daddy, this is a woman-" Thinking that Xiao Yi is now a widower, Wen Jin swallowed the words "the master lives", turned a corner and said, "My daughter is not suitable for living here, it is too close to the outer courtyard, it is better for me to live in the courtyard of Sanjin." ”

"Hmm, yes, yes." Xiao Yi didn't think much about it, nodded again and again, he took Wen Jin to the main hall, turned his head and instructed the mother of the housekeeper of the inner courtyard who followed behind him: "Call the three young ladies to come over to meet the eldest lady." ”

"Yes!" Ah Lai turned around and went out, and soon a few little maids flew away.

"Yuchen will be back today, it's probably going to be afternoon, in the evening, let's have a meal together, our family is finally reunited."

"Hmm!" Wen Jin replied as she looked at the furnishings in the room.

This should be the place where the former hostess of the Xiao Mansion handled housework, and the red sandalwood furniture of Yishui is all in the Jiangnan style, with delicate and soft lines, which is completely different from the calm atmosphere of the dowry of the lord of Yujie.

"Jin'er, Daddy may have to go out on business after a while, those few are still young, Yuchen wants to study again, and you have to take care of this family."

"Okay Daddy, I'll take care of it." Wen Jin didn't think about it, so he took it. She has seen Xiao Qiyun, she is indeed a little immature, before Xiao Yi remarried, Wen Jin had to take care of internal affairs.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and then, Alai's voice came in: "Master, the young ladies are here." ”

"Let them in!"

Xiao Qiyun, who walked in, saw Wen Jin at a glance, sitting meekly beside Xiao Yi, not to mention, she and Xiao Yi are a little similar, especially the calm and calm between Gu Pan, and the sharp eye style, which is exactly the same.

Xiao Qiyun's hatred in her heart increased sharply, why didn't she look like her father? is like a mother-in-law, although she is graceful and charming, but she is not dignified enough, especially compared with the opposite one, it can really be said that she wants to look good and have no head, and she has no momentum to suppress the field.

"Come, Qiyun, Jinyun, Ayayun, this is your big sister!"

Xiao Qiyun knew that at this moment today, she had to endure it, so she looked obedient and saluted Wen Jinfu: "I've seen the eldest sister!" ”

Xiao Jinyun and Xiao Ayayun closed their mouths and only saluted.

Wen Jin got up and returned the salute: "Hello sister!" ”

Xiao Yi was very happy: "Come, come and sit." ”

On one side of the hall, there was a table of eight immortals, one on the side of Wen Jin and Xiao Yi, and Xiao Qiyun with three sisters sat on the golden pier next to the high table near the table of eight immortals.

"Qi'er, your sister is back, and there will be someone to take care of this family in the future, if I go out, I can feel more at ease. She helped the county lord take care of the housework in the Qian family, and even the queen mother praised her, you follow and study hard. ”

Xiao Qiyun was shocked, if she didn't let her take care of the house, how would she continue to sing in the later scenes?

"Daddy, my sister just came back, and she hasn't even her breath yet, besides, I don't know much about our family, so I started to take care of the house immediately, which is a little inappropriate."

Xiao Yi was anxious, afraid that he would leave Xiao Qiyun and make a fuss again, so he waved his hand undoubtedly: "It's not difficult, let those housekeepers come to visit your sister in the afternoon, the affairs of the family will start to report tomorrow, just get familiar with it for a few days." ”

After speaking, he also said to Wen Jin: "On our side, there are fewer things than the Qian Mansion, and there are clan relatives over there, and this relative comes and goes all year round, and your sister has passed through a lot of things." ”

Wen Jin didn't expect Xiao Yi, a big man in the outer courtyard, to know this, and this alone was very different from Qian Xiancong's performance.

"Hehe, Daddy, isn't it, the county lord's mother has so many things every month, either this family has a child, or the old man of that family has passed away, this gift, gift, congratulations, condolences, I don't know how much, I have to use a notebook every time to remember, lest I fall behind, so that the county lord's mother will lose face."

Xiao Yi smiled and said to Xiao Qiyun, "Did you hear that?" How capable is your eldest sister, and we still can't catch this little bit of housework? ”

"Daddy, since you all know that our family's affairs are simple, why don't you let Qi'er take care of it? The eldest sister has just come back and is about to take a good rest. ”

"No, I'm not at ease when I leave my home to you." Xiao Yat's words were resolute.

Xiao Qiyun said coquettishly: "Daddy, why don't you just let the eldest sister guide on the side?" Qi'er promises to be obedient, so you will give your daughter a chance to let me get close to my eldest sister. ”

Xiao Jinyun raised his head: "Daddy, the eldest sister has just come back, so let's arrange food, accommodation, and these important things first, who cares about our family, and we can talk about it later." ”

"Hmm, okay." Xiao Yi stood up, "Come, Jin'er, go around the yard with Daddy and see where you live." He was a resolute character, and as he spoke, his feet were already facing outward.

Wen Jin stood up and followed behind Xiao Yi, the three girls were behind her, gritting their teeth and glaring, Wen Jin didn't notice it, just because the two personal maids standing at the door of the hall had already followed, blocking the whistling eye knife for her behind her back.

Passing through the passage of the second courtyard, on the side of the third courtyard, there is a cross-courtyard, with a small garden of more than ten meters in size, Wen Jin thinks it is very good, but Xiao Yi is not very satisfied: "Our family has fewer houses and more houses, and there are good ones in the back, which are a little old here." ”

"Okay." Wen Jin walked back, sure enough, there were two more yards, the house was tall and spacious, the layout was very good, and the house was very new, but unfortunately the yard was not big enough, Wen Jin walked in, there was always a feeling of a southern courtyard, the yard was not a yard, it was a patio.

Xiao Yi saw that Wen Jin was still not satisfied, so he pointed to the front few: "Let's go forward." ”

Bypassing a small flower garden, Wen Jin saw a little maid hiding behind a big tree and peeking here, and then like a little rabbit, she quickly jumped into the yard in front of her, and couldn't help but stop: "Daddy, is there someone living in front?" ”

"Hehe, it's your three sisters' residences, if you like it, just let them out."

"Daddy, this can't work! Anyway, I'm big, so I'm going to let them. ”

Xiao Yi was even more happy, and nodded again and again: "Okay, it's really a good one, but it's too far away when you enter the courtyard, and sometimes you want to report something to you in the outer courtyard, so you have to go far." ”

"Then, Daddy, I'll live in the courtyard with a small garden, which is very close to the flower hall in the second courtyard, and it will be very convenient for me to deal with housework there in the future. As for the house, it would be nice to have a little repair. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Yi thought for a while, "Then you can live in the next yard for the time being, and it will be repaired in a month." ”

Wen Jin was very happy to see Xiao Yi agree, she liked the spacious and sunny courtyard, and liked the place with more plants. This is probably the reason why I lived in the concrete forest of the city in my previous life, and longed to be close to nature all day long.

Xiao Yi told the old mother who followed behind: "Arrange for someone to clean up Wutong Garden, so that the eldest lady can rest at noon." ”

"Yes!" Alai turned and walked away.

Xiao Yi and Wen Jin took a big turn and walked back to the main hall of the second courtyard.

Xiao Qiyun and the three were still in the house, I don't know what to whisper with their heads together, when they heard footsteps, they quickly separated, and Xiao Qiyun was the first to stand up: "Daddy, has my sister picked it out?" ”

"Okay, she will live in Wutong Garden temporarily, and when Baihuaju is repaired, she will move over."

"Oh, my sister likes Baihuaju, it's a good place, it's atmospheric and spacious."

Wen Jin felt that there was a little weirdness in Xiao Qiyun's smile, she didn't think much about it in line with the strategy of bringing the enemy water to the earth weir with soldiers, she couldn't think of it anyway, there was no need to get along with herself.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuchen didn't rush home before lunch.

"Your brother studies very hard, although he already has a knighthood, he still wants to study more and is not ready to leave the country." Xiao Yat's words were both proud and a little sad.

Wen Jin knew that Xiao Yuchen was reluctant to come back, and he was not so close to Xiao Yi, and he couldn't accept Xiao Qiyun a few, so he hid in Guozijian and couldn't come back by studying.

Xiao Yi was afraid that someone in the family would be unfavorable to his children a while ago, and he was happy to see his son's behavior, but now that he has replaced most of the servants, there is no problem with the safety of the family, Xiao Yuchen is still unwilling to go home, Xiao Yi is a little lonely and sad.

Next to the main hall, there is a small banquet room, lunch is placed here, Xiao Yi is seated, Wen Jin is on his right, Xiao Qiyun is sitting on the left, during the banquet, she diligently sandwiched the dishes for Xiao Yi several times, Wen Jin found that Xiao Yi just calmly put those in his mouth, chewed and swallowed, he seemed to take eating as a complete task, and there was no enjoyment at all.

At the dinner table, no one spoke, and Wen Jin naturally followed the rules of this era: food is not spoken.

After eating, the servants removed the remnants of the table and sent clear tea, Wen Jin took a sip, very good hairy tips.

"Daddy, what flavor of food do you like?"

"Anything." Xiao Yi didn't want to say anything.

"So, Daddy, what does Yuchen like? Isn't he coming back at night? I thought, the kitchen should cook a few of his favorite dishes, right? ”

Xiao Yi's face was a little ashamed, and he lowered his head: "Yuchen likes pasta, and he also likes to put vinegar, and I don't know what kind of way to eat it." ”

Wen Jin thought of the local snacks in Pingling Mansion, one of which is a kind of noodles, which is sour and spicy, is it possible, the place where Xiao Yuchen lived when he was a child, he often ate that kind of noodles?

"Daddy, I'll cook in the evening."

Xiao Yi sighed with emotion: "Jin'er, I've hurt you." ”

"It's okay, Daddy, born in sorrow and dying in peace, suffering and suffering, in a person's life, who can tell whether it is good or bad?"

Xiao Jinyun said: "Then, for my sister, is it good or bad?" I heard that when you were a child in the country, you had to work with boys, and those rough people would take off their shirts when it was hot......"

"Jinyun!" Xiao Yi stopped with a fierce voice.

"Daddy, don't be angry, the second sister is still young, she is just curious, not intentionally, I will teach her well when I go back." Xiao Qiyun pushed Xiao Jinyun at the same time, and gave the girl next to her a look, asking them to take Xiao Jinyun away, while hurriedly blocking in front of Xiao Yi, she had never seen her father angry, she was really afraid that her father would slap Jinyun into trouble.

"Ahh Lai! Xiao Yi shouted twice outside, and a maid ran away, probably calling someone to go.

Ah Lai came quickly, and before entering the door, Wen Jin heard her take a few deep breaths: "Ah Lai has seen Grandpa Guo." ”

"Ah Lai, I asked you to ask the mama who taught the rules, is there any news?"

"Back to my lord, I've already invited you."

"Well, you can let Jinyun pack up her things in a while, and send her there early tomorrow morning, a girl's family, she actually said such rude words, and I don't know how her mother taught her."

Xiao Qiyun's face turned black with anger on the side, and a sentence was pouring back and forth in her mouth, and she forcibly suppressed it and didn't say it: "My daughter is not well-educated, and it is certainly responsible to be a mother, but you are a father, isn't there anything wrong with it?" Why can you say such a thing? Unexpectedly, it was like talking about an outsider. ”

"Yes, sir." After Ah Lai answered, he stood quietly, waiting for his master to add anything.

"Oh, by the way, Jinyun's name has a conflict with the eldest lady, in the future, let's call it Juanyun."

Xiao Qiyun and Xiao Ayayun glanced at each other, and they both read anger and fear in each other's eyes, Daddy even changed Jinyun's name, it seems that he was really angry, thinking of the days when his mother was alive, Juan Yun is the best among the three sisters, the average family is the big and loves the small, and there is an angry one in the middle, but in Xiao Mansion, they all know that the second girl is the most favored, what she wants, almost no one can stop it.

Aya Yun gently pulled Qiyun's sleeve: "Sister, the second sister has been wronged in the slightest since she was a child, you still beg your father." ”

Xiao Qiyun shook her head, she thinks, perhaps, the second sister suffers a loss, she can learn to be more obedient, she just told her again and again, let the two sisters endure these days, as long as she controls the inner house, after her father leaves, she can do what she doesn't want to do? But she didn't want the second sister to throw her words to Java in a blink of an eye.

"Ah Lai, let the kitchen prepare sacrificial supplies, in the evening, when Yuchen comes back, I will incense my ancestors, saying that the eldest lady has officially returned to the Xiao family, and the few young ladies in the family should also be reordered."

"Yes!"

"By the way, arrange for the servants of the inner house to come to the eldest lady to greet the eldest lady, and in the future, the eldest lady will be in charge of this house."

Xiao Qiyun couldn't stop it, she didn't expect that the right to be in charge of the house would be taken away by her father with a word. I worked hard to endure it for a long time, and all kinds of hardships were wasted like this, and I was so angry that I trembled, but her fear of Xiao Yi made her dare not go crazy on the spot, so she could only hold back her anger and say in a questioning tone: "Daddy, the eldest sister doesn't know about our family's affairs, you let her take care of the house now, and you are not afraid of burdening your sister?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, your eldest sister's ability is better than the three of you combined, don't worry."

Xiao Qiyun was crazy: "Daddy, you refuse to investigate the cause of your mother's death?" She definitely didn't commit suicide because she hurt her eldest sister's mother, Daddy, you haven't arrived home at all, she doesn't know what you're going to do, how can she be unpredictable and drink poison? Also, the mother's temperament is the most pure and kind, although she does not recite Buddhism and practice on weekdays, but during the New Year's Festival, which time does not give money and food to the temple and support the monks to build porridge sheds to relieve the poor? I usually can't even bear to watch a chicken killed, can it harm people's lives? Wen Jin listened to it on the side, and she wanted to laugh in her heart, and she didn't dare to watch the killing chicken, but did she stop eating it because of this? Last time at Prince Ren's Mansion, Zhao Yulan also said that she liked to eat small dumplings stuffed with chicken and mushrooms.
