Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 88
Creeper came in from the outside, holding a box in his hand.

"It was a gift from the old lady, and she said that the girl would take it to Yongyi Hou's Mansion." Mancao said as she opened the box in her hand.

What Mrs. Yan gave was a white jade lotus hairpin, which is extremely rare in terms of its appearance.

Old Madam Yan is the legitimate daughter of the Zhonglehou Mansion, and her dowry is quite generous.Many people in the Ministry of Things have never seen it, and they are all stored in the warehouse.Only occasionally do some rewards be given to wives, girls, etc.

"Only me?"

Mancao said: "When we passed by, the sisters in the other girls' rooms were also there. The one who divided up was Sister Chunzhi, and I was waiting at the end. Anyway, girls are not as good as this. After they left, I asked about it." , said that everyone has them, and they are all jewelry. The old lady asked Wang Mama to open the warehouse last night and pick out a few pieces from a dowry. It’s just..." Mancao said in a low voice: "I have inquired, only the girl It's the white jade hairpin."

"Where's Fourth Sister?" Qing Huan looked at Mancao approvingly and asked again.

"They're all top-notch, and they all came out of the same dowry. But look at the other girls who are all gold ornaments."

Naturally, with an identity like Mrs. Yan, there is not only one dowry, nor is there only one jewelry box.Presumably they were packaged separately, if it was as Mancao said, even though the jewelry was a white jade hairpin, the value might be the same.

"A hairpin for the girl?" Mancao asked.

Qing Huan looked at the bronze mirror in front of her, thoughtfully.

"Put on the hairpin, it's getting late." Qing Huan said.

Putting on a new suit again, Qing Huan only brought Xiang Nong today, which is actually suitable for creepers, or a little dew is also fine.It's just that the current affairs in the mansion make Qing Huan very worried about the affairs in the yard.Pian Xiacao followed to Cheng's mansion, but now there are not enough people in the yard.

Qing Huan was wearing newly made autumn clothes, and when she saw other people, she was the same as herself.Qing Huan's eyes paused slightly on their buns, and it was exactly as Mancao said.There are even some people who are inlaid with gemstones. If it is said that there are three girls in the unique shape.However, Qing Huan still misses the sudden gift of a white jade hairpin to her.

Now that there is a sudden disturbance, Qing Huan is nervous.

"Greetings to the old lady." Qing Huan blessed her body.

"Girl, just dress up, and you won't lose the style of our Yan family when you go out." The old lady Yan said with a smile.

"The old lady's hairpin is really beautiful. When Tao Hong brought it back, she was so happy to spoil her granddaughter." The third girl smiled apologetically.She really opened her eyes. She thought her hairpins were already good, but when she met the other sisters, she found that everyone's hairpins were good.The third girl's heart is the old lady's private house. I heard that when the second girl got married, the old lady gave a lot, and she didn't know how much she would get when she got married.

Mother Wang laughed and said, "That's because the old lady loves the girls. The two wives want it, but the old lady is still reluctant."

Ms. Wang was joking, but it was also the truth. The two wives were naturally the private houses of the old lady who was heartbroken.It's just that Daqi's filial piety is the most important thing, unless the old lady is willing to give it, as a junior, especially a daughter-in-law, if there is a trace of greed, it will be light to be scolded, and it will be shameless to spread it more seriously. bother.

The fourth girl smiled and said, "It's the old lady who loves us."

Qing Huan followed the fourth girl and the others to thank the old lady.

The old lady Yan smiled, and told Qing Huan and the others not to lose their etiquette when they went to Yongyi Hou's Mansion, and not to do anything that would harm the Yan family.

I don't know whether it's superstitious or too sensitive, Qing Huan faintly felt that Mrs. Yan took a special look at herself when she said this.

When I got to the door, I realized that the carriage seemed a bit insufficient.

There were only two carriages parked in the clearing.

But the four girls plus Yan Nianhuan each brought a maid.

This carriage looks a little small.

Unless someone sits separately from the maid.

"Girl, I'll support you, be careful where you step." Xiang Nong helped Qing Huan to the carriage at the back.

Qing Huan walked and said, "Yesterday's crab, Mancao brought back one, how many of you got it?" Cheng Jingxin only sent ten pairs in total, and last night, he sent two pairs to the eldest wife's yard. The second wife also had two pairs, and the remaining six pairs gave one to each of the young masters, one pair in the old lady's yard, and several girls followed, each of them ate one, and there was one pair left.

Old Madam Yan said that it was sent by the Cheng family, so she asked Qing Huan to take one back.

As for the remaining one, Qing Huan didn't quite know where it was.

The third girl and the fourth girl were preempted by Xiang Nong.

Just listening to their master and servant talking, they got into the carriage.

The third girl was worrying, and the fifth girl said in a low voice: "I... I am the youngest, so the sisters should sit in the carriage at the front."

As soon as Qing Huan sat down in the carriage, the curtain was lifted.

"Fifth Sister." Qing Huan curled her lips.

The fifth girl blushed and explained: "I...I sit with the seventh sister."

Xiang Nong got up and gave up his seat to help Miss Wu to sit beside Qing Huan, and then she and Ping'er separated into two sides.

"Fifth Sister, you really look good today." Qing Huan praised from the bottom of her heart.

The fifth girl has willow eyebrows and red lips, her skin is slightly plump, and the hairpin on her head is a magpie climbing branch, which makes her quite vivid against the background.

Fifth girl's already red face became even more red.

"Fifth girl is really beautiful." Xiang Nong also felt the same way, and in the middle of speaking, someone came in from behind.

"...Yan... girl." I didn't expect that it was Yan Nianhuan who came, Qing Huan and Xiang Nong both thought that it was the maid of any of the remaining three girls who came, of course more of them were Yan Nianhuan's maid.

I just didn't expect it to be her.

"Fifth girl is busy getting up."

Qing Huan pressed her down without leaving a trace: "You are the elder sister." There was no reason to give way to her, and although Qing Huan herself knew that she should give way, but because of the ranking problem, it was not convenient.

Yan Nianhuan smiled and said, "Fifth Sister and Younger Sister don't need to get up, the carriage is small and easy to squeeze. I'll just sit here."

How about that.

No one would let the master sit at the entrance of the carriage, but the servants sit in the middle instead.

Xiang Nong got up and helped Yan Nianhuan, and let her inside.

"My sister's maids are all lovely." Yan Nianhuan rolled her eyes and let out a coquettish smile.

Qing Huan only smiled when she saw her, thinking that she is now 11 years old, and when she is 15 years old, the vines will show up and they will be gone, and if they stay for another two years at most, they will need to be replaced by others.

Seeing that Xiang Nong is very good, Qing Huan couldn't help but think highly of her.

This is the first time to go to Yongyihou Mansion.

When Liu Qixiu left the pavilion, Qing Huan and the others just sent Tianzhuang over.Besides, even if he went, he would go to Zhonglehou Mansion instead of Yongyihou Mansion.

The Marquis of the Yongyi Hou Mansion is not in good health now, and it is said that the title of Marquis has been passed on in the booklet.

What Liu Qixiu married was the son of the second wife of Yongyihou's residence, and Yongyihou's residence had three sons, the first one was a concubine, followed by the second master and the third master.

It is said that Hou Yongyi was a bit of a fool before he got married, and before Mrs. Yongyi entered the door, he made an incident with the eldest son.Mrs. Yongyihou's family background is good, and it is said that she should either send the eldest son away before getting married, or call off the marriage directly. After all, the wrong party is with the man after all.Although it is possible that Mrs. Yongyi Hou has a stain on her marriage since then, a group of people will choose these two methods.

Only Mrs. Yongyi Hou married without saying anything, and after marriage, she took great care of the eldest son.Hou Yongyi originally thought that she would not be able to pretend to be like this for a long time, but he did not expect that it has been like this for several years.This person's heart is full of enthusiasm, Hou Yongyi slowly felt guilty, and respected his wife very much.When the eldest son of the concubine got married, the problem came.Mrs. Yongyi Hou gave birth to two sons, and you, the eldest son of a concubine, can only share some property.Many people are not very willing to marry their daughters into the mansion of Yongyihou. Originally, according to his family status, he could marry a second-class prostitute, but Mrs. Yongyihou took Yongyihou's heart without bloodshed. deep.

Anyone with a little bit of knowledge would not want their daughter to suffer in the past.

The young master Zhao Xiaohou that Qing Huan knew was born to the third son of Mrs. Yongyihou.Mrs. Yongyi Hou felt sorry for Zhao Yang and hugged him to her side.Over time, he was the most loved by Hou Yihou and Mrs. Hou Yi in the mansion.

This is why Houli Yongyi has many grandsons, and he is the only one called Lord Zhao Xiaohou.

It can be seen that the favor he receives is extraordinary.

Liu Qixiu has been pregnant for four months, but I heard that this pregnancy seems to be unstable.

Mrs. Yongyihou specially ordered her to be spared from paying her respects, and only had a baby in the yard.

When Qing Huan and others got off the carriage, Xiao'er was waiting by the side.

"For the third girl, the fourth girl, the fifth girl, the seventh girl..." Xiao'er looked at Yan Nianhuan with puzzled eyes.

"This is..." The third girl was thinking of words, but she just couldn't come up with one.

The fourth girl was happy to see the joke, so she just watched from the sidelines.

Fifth girl looked down at her own toes, Qing Huan was whispering to Xiang Nong.

Xiao'er's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the situation in front of her was very strange.

"The third grandma invited the fourth in the mansion" asked tentatively with a smile.

Yan Nianhuan interrupted her with a smile: "I heard that Cousin Liu is pregnant, the old lady specially asked the five of us to congratulate Cousin Liu together."

Call her cousin Liu Qixiu.

Although Xiao'er found it strange, she felt that it must have something to do with the Yan family.

Xiao'er took a quick look at Qing Huan.

Qing Huan nodded secretly.

Xiao'er breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The madam doesn't let the third grandma move around, for fear that she will be tired. The third grandma means that she invited the cousin girls to visit the madam first."

"It should be." The fourth girl smiled.

Xiao'er nodded, and secretly told herself not to make any mistakes when she went to Mrs. Yongyihou's place later.
