The master of the Hou Mansion set off for Xishan two days later, and the Hou Mansion should have been quiet, but in fact, it was a little more lively than before.

It's just because the Hou Mansion has to repair the houses and drains.

While packing his luggage, Su Jin said to Sang Xuanyue, "In previous years, it was repaired during the Chinese New Year, but some time ago, the Riqin Tianjian predicted that the snow disaster was serious this year, so the old lady asked the house to be repaired in advance, so as not to collapse the house and crush people to death when the snow is heavy." ”

It just so happened that the masters in the mansion had gone to Xishan in the past few days, and even Mrs. Gu, in order to check for Wang Xiuwen, also insisted on following her out. The masters of the house have all gone out, and there are only some guests left, which is easier to do, just find a courtyard to settle people first, and then you can make drastic repairs. The Hou Mansion has a lot of strength and strength, and it is guaranteed that everything can be done before the masters return to Beijing.

Su Jin said, "Our yard is also under repair, and Mama Cui specially told me that the girl should choose one of the empty yards, and let's move over first." At that time, we can live in the empty yard all the time, or wait for the Rose Garden to be repaired and then move back in, that's fine. What do you think, girl? ”

Sang Xuanyue felt that the Rose Garden was remote and clean, which was actually quite good. But the road near the Rose Garden leads to the backyard, and the Hou Mansion has come back from outside, and they always like to go there, and the chance of encountering them is great, so she can't go out if she can't go out, I'm afraid that there will be too many encounters, and some things can't be said clearly. So most of the time she was suffocating in the yard, and she was somewhat suffocated. Now you can change the yard......

Sang Xuanyue thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's make a two-handed plan, first pick a yard to live in." When the time comes, it depends on whether you want to move back. ”

Su Jin happily said "hey", and then asked Dongxue to get the layout plan of the Hou Mansion, the master and servant picked and chosen, and finally selected the Plum Pavilion among all the empty courtyards, and moved over with the help of the Hou Mansion in the evening of the same day.

Enjoying Meixuan is not big or small, it is a typical one-entry courtyard.

There are more than a dozen empty courtyards in this area, all of which are prepared for the guests of the Hou Mansion.

Of course, there is also a difference between the guests. There are poor relatives who come to fight the autumn breeze, there are clansmen who come to defect, there are family members of Qingkemen, and there are also foreign stewards who come to report on the situation of the grange shops under their jurisdiction......

Because there are many empty yards and there are many people living in the front yard, Sang Twist Yue deliberately chose a yard where there is no one in the neighborhood when he picks the yard.

She just wanted to be clean, but before the clinker was settled, an old lady came to the door with a little girl carrying a small basket in her hand.

The old lady is about fifty years old, with a slender figure, and she is very neatly dressed, and she looks like a neat person. She is also very affectionate and polite in her tone.

As for the little girl next to the old lady, she looks rich and noble when she dresses up, but her exposed hands and faces are thin and relished, and she is also very cowardly. Whether she was looking at a living person or facing her grandmother, as long as someone else spoke, she reflexively shrunk her neck, and she looked not much different from a frightened rabbit.

The old lady handed over the little basket in the little girl's hand and said affectionately, "It's not a good thing, it's just a home-made osmanthus cake." The osmanthus is out of season, and the dried osmanthus I collected earlier is used here, and some osmanthus nectar is sprinkled on it. The girl likes to taste it, if you like to eat, and then often come to the door, we live in Qingzhu Garden, and you live in the middle of the plum pavilion only separated by an empty yard. ”

He smiled and said, "My wife is usually alone at home, and the only little granddaughter is also a saw-mouthed gourd. ”

Sang Xuanyue said, "I'll go when I'm free", and asked Su Jin to pack some of the white jade cakes and milky cakes that were always available in the house, which was a very decent return gift.

After sending the pair of grandchildren away, Su Jin closed the door of the courtyard and whispered to Sang Xuanyue, "I feel quite kind when I see that Grandma Shi." But when I saw her looking at her granddaughter, I felt very uncomfortable. ”

Sang Xuanyue also has this sense of disobedience in her heart.

Grandma is indeed kind, but the little girl named Ju'er is also really terrifying. If the development of this character has nothing to do with the family, it is absolutely impossible.

Either the patriarchal family is very strong, or there is something wrong with the Shi family, so that the girl is frightened.

But who can say this? In short, it has nothing to do with my own family, just mention a few words like gossip.

The Plum Pavilion is much wider than the Rose Garden, and the buildings here are more exquisite than the Rose Garden, and the houses are more sufficient.

But several maids said that they were afraid of living alone, so they still lived in a room with two people. Sang Xuanyue also picked two main rooms next to each other, one for her younger brother and one for her, and the sister and brother took care of each other.

Plum Pavilion is obviously more lively than Rose Garden, although Sang Xuanyue has tried to choose a courtyard that is not next to each other, but because there are many people living here, it is not often possible to hear the sound of disputes, noise, footsteps, and preaching.

These sounds came into his ears from time to time, making Sang Twist Moon unbearable. In addition, Grandma Shi really likes to come to the door......

After living here for three days, Grandma Shi has come and walked around three times.

Through these three conversations, both sides inquired about the situation at the other party's home.

- It's not that Sang Xuanyue intends to listen, but it is actually Grandma Shi who intends to tell it.

I don't know if it's too lonely, I need someone to speak, or if Grandma Shi has other plans, in short, Grandma Shi said everything she could say about the Shi family.

For example:

Grandma Shi's son is a guest supported by Hou Ye, and he is twenty-seven years old this year. He was promoted in his early years, and now he is doing things for Hou Ye while studying and taking the Jinshi examination. I heard that he has a talent for reading, and he is also very valued by Hou Ye, just waiting for him to pass the Jinshi, Hou Ye will arrange for him to be released as an official, which can be described as a promising future.

It's a pity that Shi Jialangjun and his wife have a shallow relationship, and five years ago, when the original mate gave birth to a son-in-law, he had a dystocia and collapsed, and neither mother and son were saved. Shi Langjun attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has not remarried in the past few years, so he has to give birth to and raise his ten-year-old daughter - Ju'er witnessed the tragic death of her mother back then, and was so frightened that she screamed day and night, and now she can recover to this appearance, all of which depends on her father's patience.

Sang Xuanyue knew the situation of the Shi family thoroughly, and the grandmother of the Shi family also asked about the situation of the Sang family.

Everyone is familiar with each other, as if they should be closer, but Sang Twisting Yue doesn't like this kind of social interaction without a sense of boundaries, and when she talks to Grandma Shi, she only feels very tired.

Seeing off Grandma Shi again, Sang Xuanyue instructed Su Jin, "The next time Grandma comes over, she will say that I am testing my brother's knowledge, and I won't be able to spare time for a while." ”

Su Jin couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, and finally sighed and said, "Girl, it's useless to say that." You can also teach the young master to read, which shows that you are not only knowledgeable, but also very knowledgeable, and Grandma Shi is afraid that she will like you more. ”

Sang Xuanyue's beautiful eyes glared at Su Jin angrily, "You shut up." ”

Su Jin was not afraid of her at all, but smiled again and said, "Girl, I am telling the truth. Grandma Shi's meaning is so obvious, I don't think you can fail to see it. ”

Grandma Shi has taken a fancy to their girl and wants to hire her home as a daughter-in-law.

However, the situation of the Shi family seems to be considered.

Let's not talk about whether Shi Langjun is ugly or beautiful, just say how simple the Shi family is, and the Shi family's grandmother is also kind. Shi Jialangjun still has a chance, and then he was admitted to the Jinshi examination, and he was released to be an official, and he was supported by the Hou Mansion, but he was still worried about not being able to get ahead?

The girl married into the Shi family, there is no tricky and mean mother-in-law above, and there is no rude and willful stepdaughter below, as long as she gives birth to a child obediently, she doesn't need to think about anything in the future.

This kind of family affair seems to be okay?
