I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

With this happy event ahead, the fact that Wang Yan was conferred the title of King Tan on the first day of the first lunar month did not make her feel too happy.On the contrary, it was the Qin family who made the homecoming banquet in the second year of junior high school extremely grand, which made Hui Niang very embarrassed.

From the promotion from the seventh concubine to concubine Ying, Anniang's life is no different from before, she has the most entertainment in the first month, and she has been thinking about going to the housekeeper to find a second primary school for Zou and her children to stay temporarily. I took a look in the yard, but I still haven't been able to be free.

However, she is still very satisfied with the handling ability of the housekeeper.After Wang Yan spoke, the housekeeper in the mansion found a suitable second-entry house between the Imperial College and the current King's Mansion within ten days. It is very quiet, and the neighbors on both sides are also scholars.Animian only listened to this position, and the neighbors on both sides were very satisfied.Just for the sake of safety, I have been thinking about going to see it in person.

Now, although seeing that she will not be free for a whole month, she still asked Zisu to go there for herself. After Zisu came back, she was full of praise for that house. Occasionally in a daze after returning, I accidentally ignored the past.

At the end of February, the Zou family finally brought their eldest son and daughter into the capital. Wang Yan and Hui Niang sent housekeepers to wait outside the city gate early in the morning, and took the family to the rented yard. The husband and wife came to visit together that night.

This is the first time Huiniang has come to Plum Blossom Hutong, and she is accompanied by two big maids, Zisu and Banxia, ​​and she is still a little nervous: in her heart, Zou is no different from her own mother, and she is always afraid that after meeting again, Zou will be disappointed in her.In her last life, she hadn't seen Mrs. Zou since she came to Beijing. In this life, Mrs. Zou will be satisfied with her current situation?

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the small house, and Hui Niang got out of the carriage with the help of the maids with a little apprehension. The courtyard door of the second-entry house had already been opened, and Qin Jiahong was standing at the door, greeting Wang Yan with a smile on his face.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Qin Jiahong has matured a lot. His demeanor is not green, but he is still elegant and graceful, which makes people forget the vulgarity. "His Royal Highness." He arched his hands, bent slightly, and did not make a big salute, but he would not make people feel neglected.

However, Wang Yan didn't even dare to accept such a gift, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Qin Jiahong's arm, "Senior brother—in the academy, I was grateful for my senior brother who taught me a lot of knowledge, but now I haven't seen you for a few years. Are you ok?"

"There's nothing wrong with studying hard in my hometown."

"Senior brother has come to Beijing this time, he must have achieved a great deal of knowledge, and he will win the Toad Palace..."

Qin Jiahong smiled and waved his hands, interrupting Wang Yan's compliment, "Your Highness thinks highly of Cao Min."

"Senior brother, please don't use the words 'His Royal Highness' and 'Caomin' anymore. You were my senior brother before, and now you are still my brother-in-law. Just call me by my name as you did when you were young." Wang Yan Turning her body slightly, she motioned for Hui Niang to come forward, "Hui Niang misses you very much, this time my aunt and cousin brought my cousin to Beijing, she is very happy."

Hui Niang walked in front of Qin Jiahong, bowed her knees, and said, "Cousin."

Now that she is the Princess of Qi, how could Qin Jiayu dare to accept this gift?Quickly turned sideways to avoid, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for many years." He turned his eyes to Aniniang, then glanced at Wang Yan, showing a satisfied smile.She moved her lips slightly, as if there was something unspoken, but in the end it only turned into a sentence, "Please inside."

A few people walked in while talking, Wang Yan and Qin Jiahong greeted each other politely, and Hui Niang was able to take a good look at the courtyard.This courtyard is not much different from Zisu's description after seeing it. The first time you enter the courtyard, it is not very big, but the space behind the hanging flower door is quite spacious. There is a large water tank in front of the stone.

Mrs. Zou had already been waiting on the steps outside the main hall, and Shanniang was also by her mother's side.The family was taken into the city in the morning, rested for half a day, and the dust and exhaustion on the road had already been cleaned up. The mother and daughter Zou and Shan Niang seemed to be quite energetic, and they were looking forward to seeing Hui Niang. meet you.

"Auntie!" Hui Niang lost her feelings for a moment, and she didn't care about attracting Wang Yan's attention and inquiry, she trotted forward and threw herself into Zou's arms.

Zou patted her on the back lightly, "Hui Niang, you have grown up."

Hui Niang only felt sore in her chest, she couldn't help the tears welling up in her eyes, but she couldn't bear to make Shi Zou worry, she blinked her eyes and forced herself to suppress her crying, she withdrew from Shi Shi Zou's arms, turned to look at Shan Niang— — Shanniang was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and Huiniang smiled and shook her cousin's hand.

Qin Jiayu stepped forward to offer a few words of comfort, and Wang Yan also came to meet the elders—Ms. Zou did not dare to accept his salute. .

After saluting in this way, Qin Jiahong greeted Wang Yan to go to the front yard, leaving Huiniang to talk with Mrs. Zou and Mrs. Shanniang in the main room.

As soon as he entered the main room, Mrs. Zou took Hui Niang and looked her up and down carefully twice, with tears streaming down her eyes, "Have you suffered all these years? It's all over now. If my cousin and uncle know about it, I don't know how happy they would be!"

When Hui Niang heard this, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and Shan Niang hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Mother, why are you bringing up such a sad thing on such a happy day?"

Only then did Zou wipe away her tears, let Hui Niang sit beside her, and held Hui Niang's hand, "Good boy, seeing that you are doing well in the capital, your uncle and I are relieved. When we first entered Beijing , how is your family treating you?"

Hui Niang hurriedly said: "Grandmother is very kind, my wife treats me politely, and there is no serious conflict between the sisters." She didn't want to talk about those things in Shangshu's mansion, she really had nothing to say, she just comforted Mrs Zou, "It's going to be a good day from now on. Is it okay if uncle is in his hometown? Where's Jiadai? Why don't you bring him along this time?" Without the outsider Wang Yan by her side, Huiniang was finally able to call out her customary address generously. .

"Jiadai has to study hard now. His elder brother is very talented. If he doesn't have such talent, he can't let it go to waste. It just so happens that your uncle is thinking about the students in the academy and he doesn't want to go to Beijing together, so I will tell you Jia Dai stays with him, the two of them have company, so your uncle won't be too lonely."

"Jiadai is grown up now, I heard that she has already passed the examination of scholar?"

"Scholars are easy to take the exam, but they are not very capable." In Zou's mouth, being a scholar is like eating, very simple. "If he can pass the exam in a few years, he will be half as successful as his brother."

Hui Niang looked at Shanniang, and wanted to inquire about Shanniang's marriage, but she was afraid of asking in person, and her cousin would be embarrassed by her embarrassment, so she had to ask about her cousin first, "Cousin Jiayu is almost twenty, Uncle and aunt haven't married him yet?"

Zou's face had a look of mixed pride and relief, "That child Jiayu has high vision, and he has made up his mind to be named on the gold list, and he has discussed with his father a long time ago, and we will talk about marriage after he is awarded a Jinshi. Your uncle also agreed to him, and of course I have nothing to say, it's just..." She gave her own daughter a slightly confused look, "It's just delaying your sister, and it's hard to talk about it now."

"Mother, you bring this up again!" Shanniang really blushed with embarrassment, and acted like a baby, unwilling to let her mother continue talking.

Mrs. Zou could only smile wryly and said: "Look, Shanniang is a little too delicate for me to raise, I just don't want to hear such words as getting married."

For a girl like Shanniang who was at home from an early age and was pampered by her parents and brothers, she would never want to marry for the rest of her life, and Huiniang was also a little envious: she had no other choice, only by marrying could she escape from the cage of the Shangshu Mansion. It must also be a relative who does not marry the Wei family.Now that I'm married, I feel relieved.

However, Zou Shi's words solved her two questions at the same time, and Hui Niang smiled and said: "That's fine, my cousin won the Jinshi, and if he is lucky, he will win the top three, and the relatives will also have a higher family status." ——It’s not that small families are bad, but girls from rich families may have more knowledge, and it’s easier to get along with their cousin. And Shanniang, when the time comes, all boats will rise..." She looked at Shanniang tenderly He rolled his eyes at her foolishly, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Zou shook her head helplessly, "This child, like a child, is ignorant..."

How could Huiniang care about Shanniang?She chatted with Mrs. Zou for a while, and Mrs. Zou wanted to talk about dinner, so she sent Hui Niang to talk to Shan Niang.Hui Niang hurriedly said: "Wang Yan said that he has asked the housekeeper to book a table in Baiyang Tower, and it will be brought over when it is almost dinner time. Auntie, don't be too busy - you just arrived today, we should have done it for you. You pick up the wind and wash away the dust."

"Then you have to prepare something at home, you two sisters go and talk by yourself."

Mrs. Zou didn't give her any room for discussion when she spoke, so Huiniang followed Shanniang out of the main room and into the east wing. Now the wing rooms of the three rooms have been arranged as Shanniang's boudoir, and one of them has just combed her hair. Sitting on the threshold, the little girl stood up a little awkwardly when she saw the group of them coming, and stood aside with her hands down.

"Huahuahua, help me bring a pot of hot water, and then go play." Shanniang lightly ordered a few words, and when she saw the girl running towards the outer courtyard, she whispered to Huiniang: "The previous year, there was an accident in my hometown. There were two minor disasters. Although the scale was not large and the harvest would not be lost, many people died and many orphans were born. Huaihua’s family was also our tenant, and both parents died that year. It happened that there were three brothers and sisters—and there was a younger brother, so my mother discussed with my father and brought them home, and only said that they would follow me and my elder brother and younger brother."

"This is also doing good deeds." Hui Niang followed Shan Niang into the house, and sat on the kang, and Shan Niang also sat down next to her, holding her arm.

"Cousin, I can see you—you don't know how much I miss you!"

Hui Niang felt that she was choked up again, "Silly girl, I miss you too."

"When you first left, mother couldn't sleep for several days. She was afraid that you would be bullied by that woman's family after you came to Beijing. Later, you said that you wanted to enter the palace as a princess to accompany you, so father and mother were relieved." Little girl Xu Xu After talking for a while, Zisu and Banxia stopped talking when they came in with the kettle and asked for instructions to pour water.

She didn't ask, obviously it was Sophora japonica who went to ask for hot water, why Zisu and Pinellia are now occupying the magpie's nest, come in to pour water, just took the cup silently, waited for the two of them to go out, and then asked: " Is this the maid assigned to you by that family?"

Because of Huiniang's background, Shanniang didn't have a good impression of Qin Mengyuan's family since she was a child, and now she looks at Zisu and Pinellia with deep distrust, as if they are old ladies who were arranged by the Wei family. The spies around Hui Niang seemed to be about to poison them to death in the next moment.

Hui Niang suppressed her smile, and touched the back of Shan Niang's hand, "Yes, they are both suitable people, they have been with me for two years, and they are trustworthy confidants..."
