Liu Saburo, the eldest son of the princess of Yuanping County, is now fifteen years old, because of his mother's filial piety, he has just obtained the loose official of Ru Linlang, and he is also a person who enjoys the official position, but he has not been given a ministry, even so, he has already obtained a background, and he does not need to grit his teeth with many students to fight hard for the imperial examination, and he can be awarded a real position in three or five years or one or two years, which is the shade of the door.

But for Little Lady Liu, it wasn't until she saw this cousin that she really realized that three years had passed with her eyes closed.

At that time, the catastrophe had not come, her grandfather's birthday, the sage not only allowed her to go back to Pei's house to pay homage, but even accompanied her personally, when the little cousin was still a twelve-year-old child, although the person who opened his mouth also deliberately imitated the demeanor of the scribe, and was always childish, pretending to be old and making her aunt shake her head and grandfather laugh.

However, the young man in front of him not only raised his head, but also no longer showed deliberateness in his gestures, but also raised his eyebrows and eyes like cold electricity, and even made people feel "daunted" - for example, Liu Yanjue's little lady was frightened to tears by the lobby brother's glance, and turned around and threw herself into Yao Ji's arms and shouted "wicked".

Liu Saburo, who was known as a "villain", felt a little embarrassed at this time, and saw that another cousin was also staring at him with her cheeks up, which inevitably scared her into tears, so she hesitantly stretched out her palm, which was already callooned, and rubbed the top of the girl's soft hair, and pulled the corner of her lips slightly.

"Queen Pei", who was touched by the "little cousin" and flattered by her hair, endured the strange feeling that came from spontaneously, silently said "I need to adapt", and immediately took out the signature sweet smile to respond, and made a decent salute, saying "Brother is well", which finally made Liu Saburo's sword eyebrows move, and the corners of his lips were raised higher, but he bent his fingers and tapped the girl's head: "Pretend to be old." ”

Little Lady Liu pursed her lips tightly, this was a common phrase she used to make fun of her little cousin, but she didn't want to be returned as it was!

Realizing for a moment that her loved ones can now see only her cousin and cousin, Liu Xiaoniang became a little closer, but before she could say a few more words, she was held by a middle-aged woman in green clothes: "Little lady, do you remember the servant?" ”

"Auntie." Although the dress in front of him is also elegant, and there is even a silver hairpin in his hair, but when he saw her and Yao Ji giving gifts earlier, he judged that Liu Xiaoniang should be a servant, and asked if she remembered, thinking that she had also gone south with her mother in the past, and it should be good to call her grandmother.

"This is Xiao Yuan, the lady in charge of the side." Fu Yuan reminded her little master.

It was given the name of the Lord's family, and it seems that it was very important.

Little Lady Liu smiled sweetly again: "Are your parents okay?" My son is in a foreign country, and I miss it very much. ”

Xiao Yuan smiled in surprise, and couldn't help but bow: "I haven't seen you for three years, the little lady is so thoughtful, it can be seen that Jiang Ji teaches well." But it was a sigh, some sad that the old man had passed away.

At this time, Liu Xiaoniang really couldn't have sincere condolences for her "own" deceased biological mother, and she couldn't tell if she was too worried about her mother and made her cry and cry, but she would make her mother unhappy, so she was just silent and a little sad.

Xiao Yuan quickly calmed down: "Hurry up and get in the car, the lady has been looking forward to it for a long time." ”

Along the way, from beginning to end, the confidant concubine in front of Xiao Shi ignored her except for the first time and Yao Ji's courtesy, which caused Yao Ji to become more and more indignant.

She has also seen the main mother Xiao, she is really proud, she looks like no one in her eyes, isn't she just from a noble background, and she didn't give birth to a son, what's the big deal? Thinking about it like this, he snorted coldly, and suddenly realized, and spent a few dry coughs to cover up.

When the ox cart crossed the street, slowly entered the corner gate of the Liu family's mansion in Yongjiafang, and the group changed to a soft sedan chair, Yao Ji finally got the opportunity to be alone with her daughter again, and hurriedly whispered in her ear: "After a while, I met my mother-in-law, remember to be smart, don't forget what A-Niang told you, you repeat it again." ”

When she heard her daughter say it word for word, Yao Ji was satisfied and smiled lightly.

Don't look at the evil obstacle that pleases the mother of the Wang family, I think that she pushed it into the water to bite, but the Wang family was not present to witness it at that time! I was going to threaten on the way, so that she couldn't talk nonsense, but the evil obstacle used to be as bad as her biological mother, and she was in tears after drinking two sentences, and she was afraid that she would not accept it? How do you know that the mother of the Wang family is nosy and regards the evil obstacle as so important, and she never leaves a step, but she never let her get a chance.

But fortunately, there is a countermeasure, and it can be blamed for the evil obstacle.

Soon after the soft sedan car traveled, it was put down in front of a moon gate, obviously not directly leading to the main house of the back house, Liu Xiaoniang only heard Fu Yuan ask: "The lady still lives in Wuyiyuan now?" ”

"No, Mrs. Tai suggested moving to the west courtyard of the main house early in the morning, saying that it was much more convenient to be in charge of the middle feed or the morning and dusk provinces, but the lady still wanted to be quiet and insisted on living in the Wuyi Garden."

As soon as Liu Xiaoniang heard the word "no clothes", she thought of the famous sentence in the "Book of Songs" "How can you say that there are no clothes?" With the son", the memory immediately appeared Xiao Shi's cold face, only to feel that her body momentum is suitable for the name of the courtyard, when being led by the nurse to go in, and see that there are many strange stones under the corridor of this courtyard, a fragrant flower is not seen, even Bi Zhi is also full of tall and high-spirited state, I can't help but secretly speculate, although it was not common with Xiao in the past, let alone familiar with it, I only felt that she was quiet and indifferent and even dressed up elegant and neat, today I look at the decoration of the residence, and I am more sure that Xiao should not like those gorgeous flowers.

Walked along the corridor for a while, saw a vermilion and white house from a distance, but there was already a maid waiting at the corner, smiled and came forward to salute, did not say much, only led a line and turned to the back of a small courtyard, only to see a lonely plum tree, at this season has long been without flowers, only the branches and poles are strong.

"The lady is still meeting guests, Qi Niang and Jiu Niang are listening to the lecture again, please Ji Ren and the two little ladies wait here." The maidservant stopped in front of a wing room to the west and explained with a slight bend of her knees.

The layout in the wing room is also very elegant, the wall hangs silk paintings, but the main seat is set up with a screen couch, on both sides is a square low couch, and a small number is set in front of the couch, which seems to be the place where Xiao and his family or regular guests sit and talk.

The little lady Liu removed her shoes in front of the steps, and was still led into the wing room by the nurse, and consciously chose the low couch at the end of the right side to sit on, with a meticulous appearance.

This shows more and more how "rude" Yao Ji, who is sitting on the screen couch, and the glamorous little lady who simply lies down on it.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty has appeared at this time chairs and other seats, the former has not been promoted, only the court or the palace has been set up, the horse stool is the Hu family standing up, although there are also nobles to choose when gathering, the picture is fresh, in most cases still pay attention to the etiquette of sitting, that is, sitting cross-legged should also get the permission of the master or the elders, hanging feet and lying down is even more rude.

Xiao Yuan saw the words and deeds of the three of them, and didn't pay attention to Yao Ji, but smiled at Little Lady Liu: "Little lady is tired on the way, don't be polite at this time, just sit down." ”

"There are elders, don't dare to be rude."

Xiao Yuan raised her eyebrows, and looked at the "elder" who showed a disdainful look while looking at the surrounding furnishings again, still silent, but her words were very meaningful: "The little lady is easy to educate, this is what Jiang Ji used to teach?" ”

"My mother also has teachings, but it's more of a grandmother's guidance and restraint."

These words obviously give the credit to their own nurses.

Xiao Yuan bowed her head, but praised Fu Yuan: "Ah Fu really lives up to the trust of the mother." ”

I don't want to wait for half an hour, in the end, Liu Xiaoniang's "self" is young, I think I haven't been strictly disciplined before, my calves are numb, and I almost don't even feel conscious, in a trance, this reminds Liu Xiaoniang of the situation when the real biological mother taught her etiquette in those years, about this age, she has to sit on her feet every day for the whole hour, and she has to practice decribing, she was miserable at the time, and now she recalls, there is only a gloom in her heart, I really can't hate, go back to the year to see my mother's kindness.

"Mother, how long do you have to wait, I'm going to suffocate." - Of course, the one who can be so childish is a gorgeous little lady who is only in her early three years.

Under the iron law of good and low non-marriage, all concubines must be from good background, if they have children, they can also be a "concubine", but titles such as "A-Niang" are only exclusive to the mother-in-law, if this is placed in another family, such as Xiao Yuan, a very high-status servant concubine can be corrected or even reprimanded, but now, Xiao Yuan just glanced at Yao Ji's mother and daughter, and still sat on the next reed seat and ignored it.

Little Lady Liu couldn't help but smile, it seems that the style of the Liu family is really good, at least abide by the distinction between master and servant, respect and order, Xiao's mother must not allow the servant to be arrogant.

Finally, the maid just now came to this place again, still smiling and groaning, and invited you to go to the hall.

It is different from the screen couch set up in the wing room, the north window of the hall is not far away, the word screen is wide, the book is the famous article of the "Book of Songs" Qin Feng has no clothes, the view of the hand flying white, it is really like "the sword of the sword, the frightening arrow flying", it seems to have an awe-inspiring air to hit the face, but it makes people feel a boost of spirit, Liu Xiaoniang only felt that the soreness of the calf was eased for a moment, and hurriedly glanced, and saw the long couch under the word screen, sitting on the lady in the collared skirt, the face was no different from many years ago, still cold.

It was Shaw.

And Liu Qi Niang and Jiu Niang, who were standing on both sides, obviously raised their heads, which was very different from what they remembered, but although the overall temperament looked a lot calmer, the corners of the eyebrows and eyes still inevitably revealed a little curiosity and peep, which revealed childishness.

The brocade mat had been placed on the ground, and the little lady Liu knelt up first, until the Yanjue sister also knelt down precariously, and the two bowed to each other at the same time.

"Alright, get up." In a cold voice, Xiao did not show the cordiality of reuniting with the concubines after a long absence, and of course, it was even more impossible to hug and cry with Liu Xiaoniang, reminiscing about how ruthless Jiang Ji was when her confidant and maidservant later served a husband.

However, when my sister Liu Jiuniang stepped forward to help Liu Xiaoniang, she squeezed her eyes and said intimately: "My sister comes with me." ”

The older Liu Qi Niang went to help Yan Jue, but she probably didn't expect that this concubine was about to sit on the low couch as soon as she had a buttocks, so she stopped her very embarrassed and said: "The concubine hasn't seen the courtesy yet, so she can't sit first." ”

is this sentence, but it was lightly glanced at by Xiao Shi - if you act steadily and advance and retreat properly, you only need to secretly block your sister, and you don't need to emphasize the sentence of your mother's courtesy.

Liu Xiaoniang saw it in her eyes and secretly sighed, this mother-in-law is so strict with her own daughter, it seems that Yuan's hint of "not getting along" is not intimidation.

The four girls waited for Yao Ji to step forward, bowed their hands as a salute, and said "Lady is well" enchantingly, and then waited for her to take the lead in sitting down, and then stepped forward to salute and sit down separately. How do you know that the little sister adheres to the style of hanging feet, which makes Qi Niang embarrassed, and after careful consideration, she did not correct the sitting posture of the little sister, in the end, she is only in her early three years, and she has not been taught, and it is not an exaggeration to be unfamiliar with etiquette.

"I heard earlier that Eleven Niang accidentally fell into the water in Suzhou, but is there anything wrong?" Shaw is straight to the point.

This made Liu Xiaoniang couldn't help but be surprised, of course, what surprised her was that the seemingly cold mother-in-law actually made her ranking.

It is necessary to know that at this time, the surname of the big family, regardless of men and women, the ranking is generally according to the clan, in the past, the Pei family is a son and nephew, many daughters are scarce, so the concubines will generally record the family tree, and they will be ranked in order when they are young, but she already knew that the Liu family is completely opposite, there are not many children and nephews, but there are many daughters, and the daughters will undoubtedly be on the family tree, and the concubines may not be.

However, at present, Xiao is called "Eleven Niang", which obviously means that she has great hope for the genealogy.

Her luck is indeed good, it can be seen that what Fu Yuan and Qingnu said is true, this seemingly cold grandmother is very partial to her, but I don't know if the Xiao family will be so kind in the future after she shows her "early wisdom" and excels.

In such a trance, little lady Liu ...... No, it should be called Liu Shiyi Niang now, but she didn't pay attention to Yao Ji, and she didn't wake up until she was crying bitterly and kneeling on the floor "naked".
