Chapter 3

But after a while, Zhang Anchu tidied up and ate a steaming bun and a bowl of porridge before going out to pay his respects.

The snow on the road has been cleared, but there are still many servants, and everyone is busy clearing the snow outside the road.

Nanny and Siyu followed, worrying that Zhang Anchubie would accidentally fall.

At this moment, Zhang Anchu saw that the lake was frozen, so he stopped and watched for a while.

"Who is that?" Shen Jiaoxi saw a little girl not far away, wearing a thick pink cloak, under the sun, her skin seemed to be glowing, and most importantly, her facial features were exquisitely carved, she was a beauty Embryo.

"It's Miss San, Aunt Bai's daughter. Madam Hou means that if she wants to learn to dance, the most suitable one is Miss San." Teacher Shen is accompanied by Mrs. Hou's maid Jing Dan. When she asked, Jing Dan responded. Also answered.

"Indeed, he is a good young girl who learns to dance." Shen Jiaoxi nodded in satisfaction, and she had already confirmed it after seeing her for the first time.

Zhang Anchu just looked at it for a while, she didn't want to be late, so she continued to walk to Madam Hou's residence.

When they arrived at the place, Mrs. Hou's maid led Zhang Anchu in. The charcoal fire in the room was full and hot, and the nanny took off her cloak, and Zhang Anchu wanted to greet Mrs. Hou.

"An Chu pays respects to mother."

Madam Hou nodded, and said with a satisfied smile: "You are the first one here, get up and find a place to sit down, and wait for your brothers and sisters to come."

"Yes." Zhang Anchu got up obediently, and Aunt Bai waved her to sit next to her.

Not long after, the eldest son Zhang Hongye and the second son Zhang Hongda also arrived, but because he still had to go to the school, they just came to say hello, so they let him leave.

The two sons had just left, and the young lady Zhang Anxian also arrived.

Zhang Anxian is seven years old this year, and she is a daughter of the first wife, but she doesn't have any pretensions of a second daughter. Zhang Anchu always likes to get close to her, because in her heart, Zhang Anxian is the most gentle, and she will read some short stories to her from time to time.

"An Xian greets mother." Zhang Anxian bowed and raised her head slowly.

"Anxian..." Mrs. Hou felt sore when she thought of her beautiful daughter who was about to be sent to the palace to suffer.

He calmed down and said, "Sit down."

When Zhang Anchu heard that Madam Hou asked her sister to sit down, she quickly greeted her and asked her to sit next to him.

But Zhang Anxian shook her head and refused, and went to sit next to Mrs. Hou.

Zhang Anchu was a little disappointed, not understanding why her sister was not as usual.

However, she was soon distracted by others.

Several aunts in the room saw Mrs. Hou's state just now, as if there was something they didn't know.

At this time, Aunt Jiang asked suspiciously: "Ma'am, how come you are in a bad mood when you see the eldest lady coming?"

Aunt Jiang is Mrs. Hou's dowry maid. After Mrs. Hou gave birth to a son and a daughter, she gave birth to the second lady, Zhang Anyi, who was born in the same year as Zhang Anchu. She became a sister only three months ago. Please greet me today. She hasn't arrived yet, and she will definitely be late again. She has been late not once or twice.

But Mrs. Hou didn't mind, so no one said anything.

"The palace has to choose a companion for the princess, and Lord Hou intends to send Zhang Anxian to the palace to study with him, so he feels sad." Madam Hou said while stroking Zhang Anxian's back, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Zhang Anxian also knew about it, but when she knew about it, she was about to fall asleep, and she couldn't say she was willing or unwilling, but she just obeyed her parents' arrangement.

However, I didn't sleep well all night. After all, I have to leave home and my parents. What will happen is unknown.

"Ma'am, this is a good thing. Being able to be a companion to the princess is something that no one else can ask for!" Aunt Yun comforted, with a bit of contempt in her heart, she couldn't understand, why cry for such a good thing Chirping.

If she had a daughter to enter the palace to be the princess' bridesmaid, she would jump up happily and beat the gongs and drums to send her daughter off to the palace.

It's a pity that she only has one son who doesn't live up to expectations. He can't read well and loves to fight.

A while ago, in the school, I was beaten with a dagger made of paper by others.

Zhang Anchu didn't know what companion reading was and what palace was, but she understood that her sister was leaving home, she looked at Zhang Anxian with a sad expression on her face, and thought of going to her after a while, afraid of seeing her in the future If not, hurry up and get together more.

"I should be happy, but I just can't bear to be separated." Madam Hou nodded lightly. She didn't expect others to feel the same way as her, so she forced a smile on her face and asked Aunt Song, "How is An Pan today?"

"Miss Si was born weak, so she needs to be taken care of carefully." Aunt Song hurriedly stood up and answered, cautiously, for fear of offending the head mother.

Mrs. Hou frowned slightly. She saw that Aunt Song was the most unhappy. She looked very well-behaved, but she always acted like a bully, and waved her to sit down.

At this time, Aunt Bai was a little worried that Mrs. Hou would ask about the third son Zhang Hongze, so she tried to make herself invisible.

Before Madam Hou would always ask when paying her respects, can the third son speak?

She answered again and again, without opening her mouth to speak...

Now, she is already afraid of Mrs. Hou's questions, and she is afraid of being ridiculed by others, as if she is being executed publicly every day.

Zhang Anchu, who was beside her, felt Aunt Bai's hands trembling, put his little hand on hers, and said softly, "Auntie, I will warm you up."

Aunt Bai was distracted by Zhang Anchu, her heart warmed up, but she still frowned involuntarily.

Ever since Zhang Hongze was neither deaf nor dumb, but could not speak, Master Hou seldom came to her place, and it was difficult to have a good son, only the daughter was not worried.

It's just that Zhang Anchu is too obedient and worry-free, in this Hou's mansion, it's as if there is no such person.

"Why hasn't the second lady come here yet? Didn't she wake up again?" Aunt Yun glanced at Aunt Jiang and asked, she was always the last to arrive every time, if she arrived on time, she should have gone back long ago, and she could sleep again .

"I'm here!" Zhang Anyi's voice sounded from outside the door, and she ran in panting.

"Mother, forgive me, An Yi woke up late again today, mainly because it was too cold today, and the bed was very warm!" Zhang Anyi gave a lot of reasons in one breath. The chubby face and chubby body are not fun. .

"An Yi, it's all your reasons, why don't you blame the sun for rising too early?" Aunt Jiang said a little annoyed.

Her daughter is not worried at all, she was born with Aunt Bai's daughter Zhang Anchu in one year, and she is three months older than Zhang Anchu, but her personality is too out of character, her appearance is not as good-looking as others, she eats so fat, and she is lazy, so she doesn't know what to do. What can I do.
