The matter of Bai Yujing's fugitive quickly subsided, and he didn't know who was secretly operating behind his back, after all, Bai Yujing's pool of water was too deep. 【No pop-ups.】The four top gate valves, Bai Yujing's emerging family, and the royal family, all kinds of forces are intricate and entangled with each other, and there are a lot of things that happen in the court every day.

Relatively speaking, a twelve-year-old fugitive, his identity is not noble enough, and he has nothing important on him, and he is just an insignificant little person to the entire situation in the imperial court.

"Hey, that Ah Jin in the outer courtyard left last night. Almond said quietly, "It turns out that he is the grandson of Grandpa Ah Zhong next to Master Hou, no wonder he will be arranged to be a little servant next to the gardener!"

"Grandpa Ah Zhong looks like that, and he can have such a beautiful grandson as Ah Jin! It's hard to believe!"

Lianzi saw it, walked over and whispered, "The girl is going to wake up." ”

Almond stuck out her tongue, "I'm just saying it casually! ”

"No matter how much I like people, I'm gone. Lianzi glanced at her, "You still want to marry him when you grow up?"

Almond's face turned red when he was told to think about it, and he hurriedly pulled Lily and said, "Let's go and bring hot water to the girl!"

After saying that, he ran away as if he was running, and he couldn't even hear Lily chasing after him and shouting to slow down.

Lianzi watched her leave, shook her head, and entered Xie Yuan's boudoir, where Gui Yuan was lying on the girl's bedside and was sleeping soundly on her feet, with a blue circle under her eyes. She pushed the longan, and the longan woke up, saw the bright sky outside, whispered a few words to the lotus seed, and went back to his room to rest with a yawn.

Gui Yuan left, and as soon as Lianzi hung up the tent, she saw her girl open her eyes, looking at her, her eyes were misty as if separated by a layer of fog, and she looked a little dull, and very cute, not at all like her usual little adult.

After wiping his face and drinking warm water, Xie Yuan woke up completely. At this time, the little maids rushed in with all kinds of items, waiting for her to wash. Just as she was about to change her clothes, Shen walked in, and she personally picked out a blue lotus-colored full-breasted skirt for Xie Yuan.

Some time ago, Xie Yuan was very depressed because she was not qualified to learn martial arts, and Shen was afraid that she would be bored, so she planned to find an opportunity for her to meet some little sisters of the same age, and they could visit each other in the past.

Today, the Shen family is going to take her out to pay a birthday to an old lady, this is Xie Yuan's first official appearance when she returns to the Qianyuan Waiting Mansion, and the Shen family wants to introduce her daughter to the aristocratic circle in Kyoto.

Kyoto people are accustomed to holding high and low, and they love to chew their tongues, if she doesn't dress her daughter up gracefully, maybe those little girls will laugh at her precious daughter behind her back.

When the Shen family was young, they came to live in Bai Yujing, and the noble daughters of Bai Yujing's emerging families have always looked down on the four top gate valves, and they smiled on the surface, but behind their backs they always said that the daughter of the Shen family in Zhonglang was a bun and had never seen the world. You must know that at that time, the Shen family was already recognized as the first noble girl with talent and appearance in the noble girl circle.

Shen disdained to cater to those Kyoto ladies and noblewomen with Furong's rotten faces, but not all such people in Kyoto, she hoped that Xie Yuan would have a few friends to play with. Xie Yuan's quiet personality is a good thing at this age, but Shen is a little worried that she will become more and more dull as she grows.

"Comb her hair and tie it up. Shen took a few steps back and took a closer look, and said to the lotus seed who was combing his hair.

After combing her hair and looking in the mirror, the little maids praised one after another: "Madame's vision is so good!"

"The third girl combs it like this, it's really beautiful!"

Shen didn't punish them, and said to Xiao Bai beside him: "Reward each of them with a silver bill." ”

The little maids were simply surprised and delighted when they heard it, a silver bill, but worthy of their half a month's salary, you must know that a little girl like them only has half a tael of silver a month!

Shen walked over, picked up the two headbands in the makeup and decorated them on the main corners, and took two small butterfly clips to decorate the sides. This butterfly clip was personally selected by her, the butterfly wings are very thin, and it seems that two butterflies are flapping their wings when they move, which is delicate and delicate.

"That's it. Sister Yuan'er looks a lot better when she dresses up. Shen said, "Come with me to breakfast." ”

Xie Yi's eyes lit up when he saw Xie Yuan, who had changed into a new outfit and was extraordinarily cute, and he said to Shen with a smile: "When I saw Sister Yuan, I remembered you when I was a child, but you were much more old-fashioned than Sister Yuan when you were a child, and you were a little afraid of life." ”

When Xie Yuan heard this, she looked at her generous and elegant mother, and she really couldn't believe it.

Shen's face was slightly red, and he glanced at Xie Yi with disgust.

Xie Yi stroked his palms and laughed, a family of three had breakfast in the nameless house, Xie Yi hugged his daughter, sent his wife out of the hanging flower door, and watched them get into the carriage and go away before going to the study to deal with things.

Qian Yuanhou is only a hereditary title, and there is no need to go to the court, and the food is also recovered by the imperial court after the death of the first Qian Yuanhou and changed to Yulu. Now the Hou Mansion's expenditure is of course not enough to rely only on Xie Yi's Yulu, there are 10,000 acres of fertile land outside Baiyujing that belong to the Hou Mansion, which Xie Yi has slowly redeemed and bought back after so many years.

The decline of Qianyuan Houfu is indeed in decline, otherwise it would not have fallen into the embarrassing scene of selling land to support the façade. When the Shen family married Xie Yi, the Qianyuan Houfu had already improved a lot under Xie Yi's management, and now that he had the capital, the Hou Mansion was becoming more and more generous.

Many people who were not optimistic about the Shen family's family affairs back then have now changed their minds.

The Shen family is going to pay homage to an aunt who married to Kyoto next to the Shen family, and this old lady has a good relationship with Shen's father, so she must go. That aunt married Bai Yujing, a noble scholarly family, as his wife, because he didn't know how to be flexible, the master was just a nine-grade petty official, so he was quite lonely when he was young. But now she is the mother of the third rank of the dynasty, and she finally enjoys happiness in her later years.

The Zhao Mansion is also located on Suzaku Avenue, but the location is somewhat remote, and it takes a quarter of an hour to take a carriage. Because it was still early and there were not many carriages on the road, Shen whispered to Xie Yuan about the situation in the Zhao Mansion, and also explained the names of various relatives to her by the way. While it hadn't arrived yet, and there was more time, Shen Shi told her some tips for making friends and getting to know people, which Xie Yuan listened to with relish.

The area of the Zhao Mansion is not as large as the Qianyuan Hou Mansion, nor is it as beautiful as the Hou Mansion, but the decoration is very exquisite. The oil wall car stopped in front of the Zhaofu Hanging Flower Gate, Xie Yuan and Shen got out of the car, and they could see the shadow wall of blue bricks, and the relief was very exquisite.

In the Hanging Flower Gate, a woman who was more than ten years older than the Shen family led the juniors and maids out, her face was round and smiling, and she looked very kind and gentle: "Mrs. Qianyuanhou, you came really early." And he said, "You come early every year, and when I look at the hour, I guess you should come." ”

She was surrounded by two beautifully dressed and festive children, the boy was about ten years old and looked very impatient, and the girl was seven or eight years old, with a delicate face and a very calm face. When they saw the Shen family, they called "cousin" in unison, and "cousin" to Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan felt Shen's gaze fall on her, so she bowed her head to the woman and made a senior salute, shouting, "Cousin," and said to the two children, "Cousin, cousin." ”

Shen smiled slightly, she didn't seem to be very close to this woman, but she was not a stranger and alienated, "My cousin's complexion is much better than before." If I come late, I'm afraid it's going to be stuck outside for a long time. Looking at the quiet girl, she smiled and asked, "I heard that your daughter fell not long ago, is she okay now?"

The woman's maiden name was Chen, and when she heard this, she looked at her daughter and said with a smile: "It's okay now." ”

As they spoke, they entered the door of the weeping flowers.

Chen's daughter seemed to be very curious about Xie Yuan, and she was looking at her all the way, her eyes were confused and puzzled, but she was very clever, and her small movements were very hidden. Xie Yuan has a strong perception, she is much older than the Shen family, and she doesn't care about this little girl's impolite peeping, and she doesn't know what to do.

Entering the hall, an old lady with silver hair sat on a chair with yellow roses, and several women were talking beside her.

Seeing Shen, the old lady hurriedly beckoned, with a chrysanthemum on her face, obviously liking Shen very much: "Jiexi, come and talk to the old woman!" The old lady did not miss Xie Yuan, who was following behind, and smiled, "This is Sister Yuan, right?

Xie Yuan screamed, the old lady took her hand and looked at her eyebrows carefully, and said, "This child looks three points like you and three points like her father, but her temperament follows her father." When I was a child, I looked at her and was still a small group. By the way, she should be seven years old by now, right?"

"One and a half months is enough. Shen stood beside the old lady and said with a smile, "After the age of seven, I will be completely relieved." ”

"Yes. The old lady thought about it, and looked at Xie Yuan with more and more kind eyes, "Poor child." Chunsheng, go and take out the jade bat at the bottom of my box. ”

Behind the old lady, a maid with a faint sense of presence immediately went to fetch a wooden box the size of an egg, and when she opened it, it was a bat carved from topaz, the size of a thumb, but it was vivid, and the surface was covered with a layer of streamer, which was very beautiful.

The old lady said: "The old woman can't take out anything good, so Sister Yuan will accept this jade bat." ”

Shen didn't want to, this jade bat was so luster, it was the old lady's love. She was polite to the old lady for a long time, but Jade Bat still accepted it, but the old lady's favored junior also got a gold bracelet from her. Seeing that the old lady's favored concubine got a valuable gold bracelet, but she didn't have anything, the atmosphere among the children became a little dull for a while.

Shen and the old lady both noticed, but they didn't care, and the two chatted for another quarter of an hour, and the old lady's daughters-in-law all joined in. Seeing that the impatience on the faces of the juniors could not be concealed, the old lady smiled and let go, and specially instructed her grandson, that is, Zhao Xi, the youngest daughter of the Chen family (the gold bracelet was given to her), to watch her cousin closely.

Zhao Xi agreed very seriously, she smiled lightly at Xie Yuan, and said, "Cousin, come with me." ”

Leprechauns, collect me--
