After Qian Yan got dressed with the help of the maid, she went out with Xue Huan'er and her eldest daughter with a servant woman and two maids.

It was a horse-drawn carriage prepared in advance in the house, which was a wooden carriage shaped like an elongated version of a sedan chair, which could seat three or four people.

It happened that the three of them and a servant woman were sitting inside, and the two maids were sitting outside the carriage.

I forgot to mention before that Xue Huan'er and Li Hanqin have two sons and a daughter.

With them today is the eldest daughter Li Muxue, who is seven years old this year and was taken by Xue Huan'er to teach.

The eldest son, Li Hongda, is five years old and has already entered school, and he has to go to the school every day except for dinner, and he is not at home at other times.

There is also a three-year-old son, because he looks very much like his grandfather, that is, the eldest son of the Li family, he was taken by his grandmother to the garrison mansion at the beginning of spring this year.

At that time, Xue Huan'er looked relaxed when she talked about this, but she didn't have any resentment, and when she saw that there was inquiry on her face, she explained it to her.

Mrs. Li was born as a royal county lord, although she was from the former dynasty, she also received a certain royal education, and the child could be educated better in her, not to mention that the two courtyards were almost next to each other, and the child would come back every day to go around, so there was nothing to worry about.

Qian Yan said that she didn't understand very much, she only knew that children who grew up next to the elderly were not as good as those who grew up next to their parents, and the feelings were getting along, and the feelings slowly faded when they were not around.

However, this may not be applicable to ancient times, after all, most of the children of large families in ancient times were taken care of by nurses and servants, and it is estimated that there is not much difference between being by the parents or by the grandmother's side.

Xue Huan'er's family lives in Xicheng, and the prefect's mansion is on the Beicheng side, the distance between the two sides is not close, and the carriage walked for more than half an hour to arrive.

While chatting with Xue Huan'er, Qian Yan used her divine sense to pay attention to the route outside.

After passing the government office, the carriage turned into a relatively wide alley, and came to a stop at the end of the alley.

This should be the back door of the prefect's mansion, the prefect's residence is behind the mansion, and in front is the mansion, only public servants enter and exit from there, and the family members are all through the back door.

As for the servants' small servants, they usually go in and out through the more remote corner gates.

Their monthly meeting was a women's meeting, and it was impossible to go through the front door.

It is said to be the back door, in fact, it is not much different from the front door of the general mansion, and it is very magnificent to have a gatehouse and a plaque.

In ancient times, it was not a major event, such as the visit of the boss or the emperor's relatives, the door of marrying the housewife was not open, and if you usually walked around the door, you generally walked through the back door or the side door, which had certain rules.

When they arrived, there were already carriages from other provinces parked there, and this alley was much wider than the other alleys, at least one side was parked one after another, and the other side could accommodate carriages to pass.

The carriages outside are all parked neatly, which means that they are parked in place.

Xue Huan'er explained while waiting for Qian Yan and her daughter to get off the car: "Generally, this kind of party will not be too long, most of them come in the morning, and they will leave after lunch and then after a while, so these carriages just stop outside and wait, so you don't have to go back and come to pick up so much trouble." ”

After breakfast, they cleaned up again, and when they came over, it was almost ninety o'clock, and they came to the banquet, that is, to say hello and chat first, and they were almost ready for lunch.

The banquet must be a meal, and after lunch, sit for a while and then disperse.

Qian Yan was a little puzzled that the wife of the prefect didn't know what to think, she invited a guest once a month, even if she had a thick family, she couldn't help but lose like this, didn't she tell people that the prefect was rich, and it was not a good thing for an official to let people know that he was rich.

Later, I heard Xue Huan'er talk about the family background of the prefect's wife, and I realized that this was not a matter, her mother's family was an imperial businessman, and she was the daughter of a long house.

With the guide of the house, the people turned left and right and came to a big flower hall, now there is no need to think about going to any garden this season, even if there are flowers, you have to be able to resist the cold.

Therefore, there is no possibility of a chance encounter in the garden of a talented and beautiful woman in Qian Yan's imagination, framing a hero who fell into the water to save the beauty, etc.

There were already a dozen people in the flower hall, only five or six sitting, and those standing were all servants and servants.

One of the women, who was about the same age as Xue Huan'er, happened to be facing the door, and when she saw them, she stood up and greeted them.

took Xue Huan'er's hand and said, "Why are you late today?" I usually arrive around the same time as me, but I didn't see you when I came, and I thought you didn't come because of something. ”

Xue Huan'er patted the back of her hand and introduced her: "I'm a relative from my family, so I came a little late when I came over, let me introduce you, this is my aunt's cousin Yang Hengyue, you can just call her Hengyue."

Sister Yue'er, this is my handkerchief handed over to Lin Jinrong, you can call her Sister Jinrong, her husband and your brother-in-law are comrades. ”

Lin Jinrong turned to take Qian Yan's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Hengyue's appearance is really a symbol, not to mention, it is really similar to your cousin's eyebrows." ”

Then he took off a jade bracelet on his wrist and put it directly on Qian Yan's hand, "I didn't know that your cousin would bring you over, I didn't prepare a meeting gift, they all said that jade raises people, this is what I often wear, so I gave it to my sister as a meeting gift." ”

As soon as Qian Yan was about to excuse herself, Xue Huan'er said: "Then Heng Yue will thank you Sister Jinrong, she is usually not generous, this is with you." ”

So Qian Yan also accepted it generously, smiled and thanked him, and the three of them sat together.

Listening to the two of them talk about family life for a while, Qian Yan also told them about what she had seen along the way, including Qingfeng Town and Qi Nian Village, she didn't say anything about those fantasy ghosts, only the changes in the village on the bright side.

These were enough for them to hear the exclamations, not only the two of them and Li Muxue, but even the surrounding people who were chatting on the side and a few later ladies were also attracted to it, and they unconsciously formed a circle.

Tilt Yan's tone is full of emotion, and the tone is also very emotional, so that people who hear it feel like they are there.

This way of telling, first, she added the pronunciation method of reading lines and pronunciation that she usually saw in her own media company, and those training teachers talked about, so that her voice was more emotional.

The second is to use the brainwashing speech method that I learned from my father to encourage the incitement of subordinate employees at the annual meeting, plus she often follows her mother out to do charity and often listens to her speeches.

Looking at the eyes around her who were eager to learn, the more she spoke, the more energetic she became, and she almost couldn't help but snort out of the things she had experienced in Qinian Village.

Fortunately, reason overcame impulses and kept their mouths shut, and did not bring new trouble to the Prayer Village that had finally calmed down.

If she really said it, there would definitely be a large number of people going over there to hunt for treasures and dig graves, it was a treasure left by the Shang Dynasty, no matter whether it was true or not, someone would go to see it.

When she finished telling the story of the bandits in Qingfeng Town, everyone was still around.

A lady couldn't help but ask, "Is that Prayer Village really so weird?" Is it true that the people in the village can't get out of the range of Yunling County? Will you die if you are out of range? That spell didn't stay, it would be terrible if someone learned it. ”

The others also chimed in: "Yes, yes, that kind of evil art can't be passed down, otherwise it can control many people!" ”

Qian Yan hurriedly said: "It's hard to say if it's really true, there are only a few people who went out in total, and the deaths are all accidents, maybe it's a coincidence, after all, there are bandits around there, and it's close to the border, so it's normal to have an accident when you go out."

I also listened to the old people in the village, and it was not easy to distinguish between the true and the false, anyway, the villagers who came out with me did not have an accident, which means that those bandits were safe outside after they were cleared. ”

Qian Yan dealt with these official ladies with words, not letting them think cranky, in case they thought of the truth, it would not be good.

When the prefect's wife came over, these people dispersed, some went to greet the prefect's wife, and some chatted about other things.

Qian Yan was also attracted by a somewhat unique girl, this girl did not look like a young lady who came with other ladies, because she had noticed when she talked about the New Year Village before, this girl was not with people, and other ladies and ladies also subconsciously kept their distance from her.

Now that the crowd had dispersed, she sat alone in one place, except for the two maids who were waiting beside her, and the nearest one was also separated from her by two chairs.

It looks like he should be about the same age as himself, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but his expression is very calm and calm, unlike the official ladies who came with him with ignorant eyes.

is like the housewife who has been in charge of the family for many years, and some accidents in her eyes are also a little sharp.

Xue Huan'er didn't hear an answer when she talked to her, and when she turned her head, she saw her staring straight in one direction.

Curiously followed her gaze, and when she saw the person she was looking at, he touched her, and when she came back to her senses, he lowered his voice and introduced her: "That's Wang Qingyue, the eldest lady of Wang Tongzhi's family, who is the same year as you and is fifteen years old this year."

It is said that this girl is also miserable, and Mrs. Tongzhi gave birth to a sister-in-law when she was eight years old, and she was injured and could not take care of her in bed.

Her father was confused in family affairs again, and he put the housekeeping power in the hands of the concubine back then, and the concubine only served the man, who would be the housekeeper, and the Wang family was in a mess back then, and the whole Qinzhou knew a lot of jokes with the prefect.

even replaced the medicine given to Mrs. and Young Master with inferior medicinal materials, which almost killed Mrs. Wang!

Or this Wang Qingyue has the courage to take back the housekeeping power directly on herself, for so many years, it is the eldest daughter of the Wang family who has been in charge of the backyard with one hand, from eight to fifteen years old, and one is seven years.

The concubines in the backyard have frequent means, but they are still not her opponents, Wang Qingyue is in charge of the house, the queen mother lingers on the sickbed all the year round, Wang Tongzhi also has the inferiority of men, there are many concubines, and there are a lot of troubles, if it is not for such a capable daughter, Mrs. Wang is afraid that the grass on the grave is too high.

Although she is in charge, there are also places that she can't scruple about, Wang Tongzhi doesn't favor her mother very much, these years, she has helped in the middle, to be honest, we outsiders are tired to watch.

Wang Qingyue has a strong personality, but Mrs. Wang is a weak and incompetent woman, she regards her husband as the sky, and now she can't serve her husband, even if the concubine comes to provoke, Mrs. Wang endures it, which makes us very disdainful, so even if she doesn't go out for some years, no one says to go to see her. ”

Hearing this, Qian Yan felt tired for Wang Qingyue, taking care of her weak mother, taking care of her younger brother, managing things in the house, and preventing her brothers and sisters from stumbling on her, and preventing the concubines from being uneasy and kind.

It's no wonder that he is full of calculations at a young age, in such a family, everything is simple and there are no bones left.

It's just that she is a little strange, why are these people avoiding her?

Even if this Wang Qingyue has some calculations at home, it is human nature, and there should be no conflict with these ladies and ladies, right?

Thinking like this, she also asked like this, and before Xue Huan'er could answer, Lin Jinrong replied: "Alas...... It's not that these people are afraid of being calculated, Wang Qingyue, this girl is still very principled, and she will not easily provoke others.

It's not her great reputation, it's not the reputation of being a housekeeper at a young age, but there was also a lady who came with her mother-in-law before, and she couldn't get used to her as a boudoir woman, so she took charge of the housekeeping and said a few unpleasant words.

Wang Qingyue directly ripped off the bottom of the young lady, and said a lot of the young lady's bad things, and almost hanged herself when she went back, and from then on, these young ladies of the same age didn't dare to speak to her.

Even if any sentence provokes him, and some secret things are exposed, then he can't live.

I don't know where Wang Qingyue, the little girl, found out about the girl, and she just said it so loudly.

These are all women in the back house, how can they say that they are all good, no one is perfect, there are always some small means, and the small name is in it, so everyone will avoid her a little.

Of course, not all of them want to hide, and there are peers who like her character, but the family doesn't let her associate with her, for fear of being said to be as powerful as her, and it's hard to talk about her in-laws.

And those of us who are a little different in age from her are not good at playing with a little girl, which makes her seem a little isolated.

Sister Hengyue, if you are not afraid, you can have a relationship with her, this girl is really not a bad one. ”

Qian Yan nodded, she didn't mind intersecting with each other, but she couldn't stay here for long, she really became friends, and she couldn't contact her in the future, and she couldn't see each other anymore, so there was no need to add sadness to others.

Thinking so, when it was time to eat, the other party sat beside her, and Qian Yan politely greeted her and chatted a few words.
