It's not like a group of old and young men who knew each other originally, were acquainted with each other, and got to know each other after being introduced. They walked into Gujiazhuang talking and laughing.
The female relatives who were still on the carriage took the lead, entering from the entrance of Gujiazhuang Village and walking along a road towards the mountain, which would lead directly to the manor.
In one of the carriages, a beautiful woman in her thirties glanced at the girl on the left who was wearing a red satin jacket and a satin-trimmed chinchilla skin waistcoat.
The girl playfully stuck out her tongue, made a face, and stretched out her hands innocently, "You can't blame me, aunt, it's my hands that are disobedient."
A girl next to him, who was also wearing a red satin jacket and a satin-trimmed chinchilla skin waistcoat, covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Sister Hui, you'd better change your name."
The girl glanced at her cutely, and then rested her head on the beautiful woman's shoulder, "I'm not you. I thought the nickname sounded unpleasant to me when I was young."
"I can't beat you."
"You can't beat me yet."
"You are our lady, Sister Hui!"
The girl called Sister Hui pouted in displeasure, blinked her eyes, and immediately sat down, placing her hands on her legs, and was patted by the beautiful woman.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble. The car is moving slowly. I think we'll be here soon." After the beautiful woman finished speaking, she reached out and tucked her niece's hanging hair behind her ears.
On the manor side, as the carriage came slowly, there were already young servants reporting, and then there were women and maids, conveying the news to the inner courtyard that the guests were about to arrive.
Main courtyard.
There were many people sitting and standing in the main hall, including Mr. Li and Zhou Daya. When they heard that the guests were approaching, everyone who was sitting stood up.
Zhou Banxia was very amused when she saw this, and stood up, but soon, she was pushed back to her seat, and she could only watch helplessly as they tried to walk out.
How could he possibly leave?
No, Aunt Lan asked everyone to sit and wait. She took Gu Dahua's family and went to the flower gate in front to greet the female guests. There were a lot of rules.
But who is Liu?
I feel grateful that Dr. Lin and Po Wen came all the way and were not at home even on New Year's Eve, just so that her old daughter-in-law could give birth smoothly and safely.
Regardless of whether they came for a large sum of money, for love, or for various other reasons, Mrs. Liu did not want to neglect others, after all, she still had to rely on their dedication in the future.
Besides, she didn't feel that she was superior to others. If it weren't for the blessing of her old daughter-in-law, let alone her old son who was lucky enough to be a scholar, who would have known her as a village woman.
After Zhou Molan and the others went out, and when a maid came in to report that Dr. Lin and others had come to the main courtyard, Mrs. Liu took her cloak and walked out of the main hall first.
My good sister ran away?
Seeing this, Mrs. Li quickly followed.
At this moment, there was no need for discussion. Ma Shan and Zhou Daya followed closely, and the two of them told Zhou Banxia to sit quietly in unison with great tacit understanding.
Gu Baoya, who was holding Zhou Banxia's hand at this moment, fearing that she would stand up at any time, chuckled at first, but she also knew that she could not hold her second sister-in-law back at this moment.
The second sister-in-law's etiquette couldn't be more thoughtful. Now even the eldest sister-in-law who was originally going to accompany the second sister-in-law went out to greet her in person. It's amazing that the second sister-in-law can stay here!
Little Jiling let go of her little hand, "Second sister-in-law, let's agree first. We can go out, but you have to walk slowly, or I will cry and howl."
Zhou Banxia reached out and tapped the bridge of her sister-in-law's nose, "I know, I won't go out until I reach the front yard. Watch out for Master Sun, I won't go far."
The next sentence she said was to Mai Huang. After Mai Huang nodded knowingly, when Zhou Banxia turned around, he winked at Mai Xiang - he was optimistic about the girl.
Among the four of them, Mai Xiang not only has a good tongue and nose, but also has the best skills now. Unlike her, she is still the worst no matter how hard she practices her skills.
With Mai Xiang following their girl, she can feel much more at ease. And with Ophiopogon japonicus guarding outside, the girl will not be bumped into by anyone when walking around in her yard. Xianggui thought this, and when the mother who was in charge of the East Road Courtyard came in and came to Xiao Changsuo and Xiao Suocheng, Mai Huang slipped away and slipped out of the main hall.
For a while, her girl did not leave the main courtyard. There were still two people standing in front of the courtyard, the wife and her in-laws. Fortunately, the guests also came in.
Mai Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Thinking that her girl already had Mai Xiang and Ophiopogon japonicus around her, it would be inappropriate for her to step forward again, so she simply stayed aside and stared.
Zhou Banxia didn't know that Mai Huang was thinking about her, so she chose a good angle and avoided the little maid holding the curtain. She was a little confused at this time.
What's going on?
Dressed exactly the same?
I don't know if the cloak is too big or something, but the three little girls of similar age who came slowly from the front completely covered their already thin figures.
All that can be distinguished is that the face is different.
One has a round face, one has an oval face, and one has an out-and-out oval face.
Among the three little girls, the one with the melon-shaped face is the most outstanding, with a delicate white face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes under the willow eyebrows, which are like water waves.
Set off by the cloak, there is an invisibly charming charm. This appearance and temperament make her a proper little vixen from today's perspective.
Often regarded as a vixen at a young age, Lin Lianqiao was actually quite unjust. She didn't want to grow up like this, and she felt aggrieved.
In order to make her look less and less like a royal wife as she grew older, her mother specially asked her to put on a hooded cloak before going out, thinking that it would be big enough to cover her face.
If possible, she would even want to fatten herself up. It would be great if her chin could be as round as the pregnant sister not far away who had a double chin.
Look at my eldest sister, she has developed a chubby face. Her every frown and smile are gentle and gentle, but she still has no trace of enchantment. In terms of dignity, she is far better than Sister Hui's sister-in-law...
"Let the room warm up first, and then chat later when we sit down."
It was Mrs. Li who could say this. Mrs. Liu suddenly realized that it was not suitable to stand in the yard and chatter, and quickly invited Dr. Lin, Chen Wenpo, to come into the hall.
A group of people entered the main hall.
The host and guest take their seats with courtesy.
Serve tea, introduce each other, introduce each other.
By this time, everyone had taken off their cloaks or cloaks. Even without introduction, Zhou Banxia had already guessed that the girl with the oval face was the daughter of the Lin family.
In fact, at this time, even if the three little girls were wearing exactly the same clothes, the identity of the girl with a round face and the one with an oval face would be easy to distinguish.
The clothing can be the same, but the headwear and accessories cannot be hidden from others.
The little girl with an oval face wears a pair of red gold flower-shaped pendants inlaid with rubies on her ears, and there are also two beaded flowers made of rubies pinned to her bun.
Very rich and pretty.
In particular, he has a pair of big eyes, clear and bright, and full of curiosity, without any timidity or evasion. He is not a child that can be raised by a stable mother-in-law.
Listening again, this little girl spoke in Mandarin with the tone of Qingzhou Mansion. As expected, she was Sister Hui, the apple of Uncle Qi's eye. (End of chapter)
