"Miss, when the old lady returns home today, I will dress you up and promise that the old lady will like you as soon as she sees you."

Cheng Yuguan sat in front of the dressing mirror, and while agarwood combed Cheng Yuguan's hair, he opened the jewelry box on the dresser and compared them one by one.

"The eldest lady's hair is a little dry, can the slave give you some osmanthus oil? This is Duobao Zhai's osmanthus oil, and Mama Lai sent it with this jewelry box. ”

Agarwood carefully took out a small bottle of osmanthus oil, which was a pale yellow porcelain bottle, and when the lid was opened, there was a sweet but not greasy smell coming out.

Cheng Yuguan waved his hand.

"Forget it, I'm impatient with these greasy things, you can share this osmanthus oil with the painting boat."

Outside, a few painting boats who were cleaning up the tables and chairs for the eldest lady heard it and looked at each other in surprise.

Agarwood was also surprised, she looked at the delicate porcelain vase in her hand, and then looked at the young lady in the glass mirror.

"This bottle costs a few taels, and in our Zhuangzi, even the head of the Zhuang's house, we can't afford such good things. If you don't want to use it now, the slave will put it away for you, and take it out when you want to use it. ”

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "I haven't loved this sweet and greasy thing since I was a child, you can divide it, don't leave it and forget it, it will be bad after a long time, but it will be wasted in vain." ”

Agarwood saw that the young lady in the mirror didn't care about it, so she tried to nod, "The slave and maid, just thanks to you, will also use this good thing." ”

Xu received Cheng Yuguan's good things early in the morning, agarwood and painting boats, obviously in a good mood, the smile on the corner of his mouth has not been broken, Cheng Yuguan sat at the dining table outside, and the hand of painting boats has not stopped.

"Miss, this milk dumpling is delicious, you can taste it. The mother of the small kitchen only cooks the rice in our yard, which is more exquisite than the big kitchen in the house, one bite at a time, you can also have a few more things, this silver silk roll is also good, two mouthfuls of one, and the japonica rice porridge is very fragrant. ”

Cheng Yuguan has never liked to talk, and he only nodded occasionally when he listened to the painting boat.

Agarwood didn't care about the work of painting the boat, but stayed aside, talking about today's big events.

"Mama Lai sent a letter, saying that the old lady would be able to enter the house at the end of the day. Hou Ye and Mrs. will definitely wait in Jingyuan Hall early, you have a meal for a while, why don't you go to Jingyuan Hall to wait, and you can also meet Hou Ye and the two young ladies Gongzi. ”

Cheng Yuguan consumed energy in the morning exercise, and put down the spoon after two bowls of porridge. At this time, she heard Agarwood say this, so she turned around.

"Two young ladies and young ladies of the child?"

Agarwood nodded solemnly, "Yes, there is also a third son and a third lady in the house, both of whom are from Aunt Tong, and they live in a shallow way on weekdays." The old lady loves the reunion of her children and grandchildren the most, so every time the old lady comes back, Aunt Tong has to take her two children out to greet her. ”

It was the first time that Cheng Yuguan had heard that he had two younger brothers and sisters, and they were not of the blood of his stepwife Yang.

The memory of the previous life was originally vague, and Cheng Yuguan only remembered the heroine, mother and daughter, who were a pair of mother and daughter that everyone in Kyoto envied.

It is rare to have lovers in this world, their mother and daughter are obviously from ordinary backgrounds, but they have met someone who is destined, although the stepwife Yang is not the original match, but Cheng Hou is a good couple. Cheng Yulou was even more promised by the five princes for a lifetime, so he was recited by the people of the capital for a while.

Cheng Yuguan also thought that there was only one Yang family in the Hou Mansion, and it turned out that there was also an Aunt Tong.

"Let's go and meet my brothers and sisters whom I have never met."

Cheng Yuguan was wearing an apricot-colored jacket skirt, and a flower silver hairpin made of rice beads was matched on his head, hanging with a short rice bead tassel, which looked very immature and cute.

This kind of Cheng Yuguan is very different from the appearance of evil when she entered the mansion on the first day, so that as soon as she stepped into the main house of Jingyuan Hall, she had been waiting here for a long time, and Cheng Fangchuan, who had not seen her for a few days, felt that her eyes lit up.

Cheng Hou was talking to the mother and daughter of Cheng Yulou of the Yang family, and when he saw Cheng Yuguan coming in, he opened his eyes slightly and praised.

"Yuguan's age, it's just right to wear such a fresh color, didn't the house ask the master to cut summer clothes a few days ago? Instructed them to cut more bright clothes for Yuguan. ”

Yang froze for a moment, and immediately nodded, "That's how it should be, I'll tell the master of the Nishang Pavilion when I turn around." ”

While speaking, Cheng Yuguan stepped forward, first curtsied, greeted the two of them, and then said curiously.

"Is the craftsmanship of this Beijing needlework so good? You don't need to measure the size to make clothes that fit? ”

Cheng Yuguan said with an innocent puzzled face.

Yang couldn't sit down anymore, so he hurriedly got up, "When Nishang Pavilion came last time, the eldest lady hadn't returned to the house yet, and I saw that you were similar to Yulou, so I didn't let the needlemaster come to the door again." ”

Yang glanced at Cheng Hou and explained to Cheng Yuguan.

Cheng Hou also was silent for a moment and waved his hand, "What effort can it take to let the people below run errands?" Wait a minute, you're going to ask a needlemaster to come to your door, you know? ”

Yang hurriedly half-squatted and saluted, "Got it, Master Hou." ”

Cheng Hou was afraid of Cheng Yuguan's unforgiving appearance on the first day, and he was afraid that Cheng Yuguan would hold on to this matter again, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Ago, you said that you were tired on the road and wanted to recuperate, but now you can recuperate? When your grandmother comes back, she can't let you sleep until three o'clock in the morning, you have to get up early every day, and the old lady is the most important rule. ”

Cheng Hou is in his early thirties, with a white face and short beard, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he has a gentle appearance at this time, very amiable.

Cheng Yuguan didn't want to be like a cockfight every day, and when he met, he had to fight with red eyes to win or lose, and when he heard his father say this, he only glanced at Yang with a smile, and then walked to the next head and sat down.

"Who did you listen to when I slept until three o'clock in the morning? Father, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so don't jump to conclusions. ”

Cheng Yuguan glanced at the Yang family, and Cheng Hou also followed Cheng Yuguan's eyes to look at the Yang family.

Glaring at him secretly, Cheng Hou put a smile on his face again and looked back at Cheng Yuguan.

"Oh? So what do you do every day at Pure Heart Hall? I heard that these days, you have only gone out once, and you have said hello to those boudoir friends in the Jade Tower, and you are in Qingxintang at other times. ”

Cheng Hou's tone was gentle, and he kept playing round, and Cheng Yuguan was also happy to cooperate with the scene of his father's kindness and filial piety.

"What do you think?"

Cheng Hou was a little pleased when he heard this.

Daughter's saying this is also the fun of family fun, he stroked his short beard and looked at the small padded jacket Cheng Yulou stuck to Yang's side.

"Your second sister is different from ordinary boudoir daughters, she doesn't like needlework and poetry, and now she is a well-known talented girl in Beijing. Yuguan you, it seems that you don't like needlework, speak straightforwardly, don't often quote scriptures, and shouldn't like to read. Wouldn't it be, are you hiding in the Qingxin Hall and dancing with knives and sticks? ”

Cheng Fangchuan guessed.

Listening to Hou Ye ask about Cheng Yuguan's daily life, Agarwood was quite proud, and as soon as Hou Ye's voice fell, she couldn't wait to show off.

"Master Hou guessed half right!"

"Oh?"

Cheng Fangchuan looked at the agarwood, "You are the old lady who came from Zhuangzi and specially served the agarwood of the eldest lady, right?" Tell me, what's the half? ”

Agarwood snapped her fingers, "The eldest lady fights boxing and practicing martial arts on time every day, practicing calligraphy and reading in the morning, and archery or fishing in the afternoon, which is more diligent than some scholars." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Fangchuan was a little surprised, "Yuguan is actually both civil and military, come to the study another day, and write a few words for my father to see." ”

Seeing the excitement of what a few people said, Cheng Yulou couldn't help but interject, "Eldest sister, don't work too hard." I see my younger brother reading every day, get up five watches in the morning, read three watches at night, and have to doze off to finish my homework every day, just looking at it makes people feel distressed. The eldest sister is a girl, and she doesn't have to take the exam, so let's let myself go, we girls, it's good to have the support of our parents and brothers. ”

Saying that, Cheng Yulou came to Cheng Fangchuan and squeezed his father's shoulder diligently, "Father, did you say that I was right?" ”

Cheng Fangchuan looked satisfied, "Studying and studying, how can there be no bitterness, thousands of miles is the time to lay the foundation, don't feel too sorry for him." If you endure hardships, you will become a master, this is the price he should pay as a man in the Hou Mansion. ”

"The daughter listens to her father. Qianli is also very sensible, today my grandmother returned home, my mother asked him to take a day off from school, he had to go to school, saying that he would come back after school, and he would not hinder it, and he would not miss his studies. ”

Yang Shi joked, "Yes, Qianli's temperament is exactly the same as that of Master Hou when you were a child." ”

Cheng Fangchuan twisted his short beard, becoming more and more satisfied, "It should be like this." ”

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Agarwood secretly hated and returned behind Cheng Yuguan.

Cheng Yuguan sat down, as if he was unaware of the lively family on the side, holding the teacup and playing with it in his hand.

Suddenly, the curtain at the door was lifted again, and a cramped woman stood at the door with a pair of children, but she did not dare to step into the main hall.

The voices of Cheng Hou and Yang came to an abrupt end.

Cheng Fangchuan frowned, "It's all a family, who do you show this little family?" Still not coming in yet? ”

Yang hurriedly got up, "Aunt Tong is here, come in." The old lady is almost here, so sit down quickly. ”

Aunt Tong was dressed in a germanium red dress, and it was seen that the fabric time was not short, and the washing was a little white, and there was only a silver hairpin on her head, which looked very simple, leading a pair of children, although it was also a silk dress, but it was obviously not particularly fitted, and the hem was wrinkled, as if it was made up by the edge of the release.

The boy is just that, wearing a silk shirt, barely able to see the past, the girl is wearing an unfashionable crimson jacket skirt, which is obviously the beginning of summer, but it is still an old-fashioned color, and there is only a pair of red ropes tied to her head.

This man and woman, judging from Cheng Yuguan's eyesight, the boy is similar to his age, at most a year and a half years apart, and the girl is younger and has a double bun, I'm afraid she is about ten years old.

Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but look at Cheng Fangchuan, how is this Hou Ye so famous?

According to Mama Grandma, he and his mother were golden boys and girls, and later the niece of the old lady was born, it is said that he was a childhood sweetheart with Cheng Hou, these two want to say that there is still some history, so what is the situation of this Aunt Tong in front of you? And two kids?

Feeling Cheng Yuguan's gaze, Cheng Fangchuan inexplicably felt weak and hot.

"It's four hours and eight festivals in the house, when is it shorter than the things in the Hanting Courtyard, who do you always show such a shabby look?" Cheng Hou reprimanded, and without waiting for Aunt Tong to speak, he continued, "Don't go over and stand up, I don't have to see you as soon as the old lady comes in, and then I see you blocking her." ”

When Aunt Tong heard this, her face also appeared a little hurried, as if she was afraid of angering the Hou Ye, so she hurriedly stood behind Cheng Yuguan.

Seeing this, Cheng Fangchuan was about to speak, and the little girl outside the door lifted the curtain to say.

"The old lady's sedan chair is almost at the gate."

Cheng Fangchuan glared at Aunt Tong and retracted his gaze, "Let's go, follow me to meet the old lady." ”

As soon as a few people walked outside the Ming Hall and turned around the shadow wall, they saw the door open, and a silver-haired and kind old man was walking down the sedan chair with the support of the subordinates.

Cheng Fangchuan took a few steps, and Yang and Cheng Yulou followed.

"Mother, why don't you let people report in advance, and your son should come out to pick you up earlier."

Cheng Hou took the old lady from his grandmother's hand, and the Yang family took advantage of the situation to hold the old lady's other arm, and the family walked back happily.

"I'm just going to live in another village for a few days, and this is going back to my own home, where is the need for you to make a big move?"

The old lady went up to the high platform with the support of Cheng Hou and Mrs. Hou, and saw a bright and beautiful girl standing by the gate of the Hou Mansion, looking at herself calmly.

"Su-kun, is that you? You've come to see me? ”

The old lady suddenly took two steps, shook off Cheng Hou and Mrs. Hou, and grabbed Cheng Yuguan's hand tightly, her eyes seemed to be in a trance and excited.

Cheng Yuguan felt that his hands were held by dry and powerful hands, and instead of earning them, he smiled slightly and said softly, "Grandmother, don't you recognize me?" I am your eldest granddaughter, and I heard my grandmother say that you have done everything possible to save my life. ”

Cheng Yuguan's words made the three giants of the Hou Mansion in front of him flicker and look at each other for a moment.

…

"Big or small?"

Wen Po's anxious voice seemed to ring in her ears again.

"What's big or small? All I want is my grandchildren! ”

An old voice said resolutely.

"Mother, Su Jun she..."

A man hesitated.

"Master Hou, don't worry, my sister Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will be fine. The most important thing at the moment is to give birth as soon as possible. ”

A delicate female voice persuaded.

A night of hectic chaos, a night of mournful screams gradually weakened.

"Miss, you must hold on, the stable woman and the doctor arranged by the master are coming soon."

The grandmother's voice shouted, as if she was afraid that the woman in front of her would close her eyes.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to, don't let her stay in the mansion, this Hou Mansion is extremely cold, she stays in the mansion and can't grow up."

"Miss, don't worry, the old slave is desperate for his life to find a way to take Miss to live."

"Let me see my grandson."

"Old lady, it's a granddaughter."

"What?"

"Mother, what's wrong with you. Doctor? The doctor is coming over, and my mother has fainted..."

…

Cheng Yuguan, who has just entered the WTO, for some reason, has very keen five senses, and there is no chaotic period of newborns, and her memories when she was born have been dreaming all the time since she was a baby, so that she can never forget it.

Therefore, in the face of this "kind-eyed" old lady, Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but say sarcastically.

After the old lady was surprised, her face became kind again, as if she didn't hear Cheng Yuguan's words, and gently stroked the hands in her hands.

"It turned out to be Yuguan my son. Grandmother has been thinking about you for more than ten years, and now, I am finally looking forward to your return. We are reunited as a family, and my old bones are satisfied even if I turn my head to see your grandfather. ”

"Mother, what did you say? You also have to personally marry Yuguan and Yulou, watch them get married and have children, and the days will be long! ”

"yes, yes!"

The old lady grabbed Cheng Yuguan's hand, supported her son Cheng Fangchuan with the other hand, and walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion with joy.

"Mother?"

Cheng Yulou felt a little strange and came to his mother.

"Let's go, let's go inside. It's a good day for the old lady to come back, so don't show your face. ”

"Well, my daughter listens to her mother."

…
