Wangjia Liyuan is located at the foot of a mountain in Changzhou County. It takes more than an hour's drive from Xu Mansion. 【Read full text】
The sons of the Xu family are all still young, so the people who went to the flower viewing banquet this time were all female relatives. Ding and her three daughters were in a car, Lu and Xu Nuo and Xu Qian were in a car, and Zhong and Zhang were in a car. .
Before getting in the car, Chun Tang looked at Xu Nuo with tears in her eyes, and there was a bright gold hairpin on her head.
How could Xu Nuo not know that this hairpin was rewarded by Mrs. Zhang, and that Chun Tang would have been severely beaten by the nanny next to Mrs. Zhang when she won the reward? So she gave her a reassuring look, then opened the curtain and got in. Go in, and Xu Qian also comes in after a while.
As soon as the carriage started moving, Xu Qian started crying: "Mom, my child didn't want to wear the clothes made by Aunt Du, but she came to me again and again... Grandma was originally unhappy because I wore the clothes she made. After learning Liu Niang got angry because she wore clothes made by a servant girl. It's all my fault. Mother, if you are angry, punish me." After a few words, she broke down in tears.
Mrs. Lu was originally soft-hearted, but when Xu Qian cried like this, she had already forgotten the doubts in her heart. She hugged her over and comforted her softly: "Aunt Du is your biological mother. She should have plans for you. Don't hide her all the time. She, on the contrary, failed her good intentions."
Xu Qian leaned on Lu's shoulder, the two pearls on her ears kept shaking due to the trembling of her body. She glanced at Xu Nuo and found that her face was sullen and the corners of her mouth were drawn in an arc.
"Mom, if the child knows this, I won't reject her too much in the future. But what happened today is ultimately my fault..." Xu Qian's voice was originally soft and waxy, but now it was laced with tears, making people unable to bear to refuse.
Lu felt the trembling of Xu Qian's body and kept stroking her back with a gentle voice: "In the end, nothing happened. Don't blame yourself too much. Stop crying now. Your eyes will be red from crying when you get off the car. How about that?" To see people."
Xu Qian nodded obediently, took the handkerchief from Lu, and while wiping it, she smiled at Xu Nuo from an angle that Lu could not see.
Xunuo looked up and happened to see Xu Qian's smile, but she was still expressionless, leaning lazily against the car wall, but the snack she was holding in her hand had been crushed at some point.
Her mother raised Xu Qian as a legitimate daughter for fourteen years and loved her very much. If she directly told her about her evil deeds, Xu Nuo was worried that her mother would not be able to accept it and she might get sick from sadness. In order to make Xu Qian suffer and make her mother suffer as well, she couldn't promise not to do anything that would please her relatives and enemies.
Fortunately she was not a twelve-year-old girl, otherwise how could she have endured Xu Qian's provocation, but she did want to change to a carriage, because her mother's love for Xu Qian cut through her body like the sharpest sword.
Twenty-one Niang once told Xu Nuo that Xu Qian went to Yingcheng Yuan on the night of the Qingming Festival and cried a lot, saying that she was wronged and did not know what Zhang Xian was doing. In the end, her eyes were as red as peaches. The mother couldn't bear to see Xu Qian cry, so she didn't say a word of punishment, let alone asked what was going on.
Xu Qian took advantage of her mother's kindness without restraint.
More than an hour later, we finally arrived at the Liyuan.
The group got off the carriage, and several female members of the Wang family came to receive them.
Two days before coming to the banquet, Nanny Li told Xu Nuo three or four times in Mingjin Pavilion about the people of the Wang family and the etiquette they should pay attention to, so that Xu Nuo could recite the promise by heart.
The old man of the Wang family died early, and his heirs were few and far between. His only two sons were not up to par, but Mrs. Wang was a capable person. In the past ten years, the Wang family's business has increased rather than decreased compared to the past.
Nanny Li spoke in detail at that time, including the habits and ages of each member of the Wang family. Just now, Xu Nuo was on the carriage with an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude, and passed by everyone in the Wang family with her eyes closed, only to discover Mrs. Wang. The greatness of.
Mrs. Wang had two daughters after marrying into the Wang family, but she still had no sons. After she gave birth to her son, and her stomach remained silent for several years, she allowed Mrs. Wang to take a concubine, and once she took her, she had three wives. The duty of the concubines is to spread the branches and leaves, but Mr. Wang's offspring are few and far between. Only one of the concubines gave birth to a son, and the rest were daughters, so he had two sons and seven daughters.
The Wang family's grandchildren are not as thin as the previous generation. There are five young men, but only one wife, and this lady is Aunt Wang who won second place in the tea fight in the backyard of Xu's tea shop during the Qingming Dynasty.
The air at the foot of the mountain is very fresh. When you look up, you can see the pear trees halfway up the mountain, with their blossoming stamens covering half of the mountain.
Xu Nuo followed the crowd and walked in. She felt someone approaching her. When she looked in that direction, she saw a woman with long eyebrows and narrow eyes, wearing a snow-white short jacket and a rouge-red skirt of eight blessings, walking towards her with a smile. , confident and capable.
"But Xu Liuniang? I'm the aunt of the Wang family, long time no see." Wang Muyu stopped when she was two steps away from Xu Nuo, and introduced herself, her voice a little hoarse.
Xunuo met Wang Wei during the Qingming tea fight. She is thin and has a square face. Her long eyebrows add a bit of charm to her face.
"Liu Niang has met Mrs. Wang." Xu Nuo bowed slightly and saluted. If I remember correctly, she was two years younger than Wang Muyu.
In the past, she was the infamous Xu Liu Niang. When she attended the birthday party of Mr. Ding, no one except Hu Ling took the initiative to say hello to her. Now in the eyes of everyone, she is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family who can order tea and play Cuju in order to save her mother from losing her memory.
During the last tea fight, Wang Muyu never exchanged a word or a look with Xu Nuo. Now being so affectionate made her very uncomfortable, but this discomfort could be completely ignored compared to what Xu Qian caused.
Wang Muyu said apologetically: "The last time I saw you, there were a lot of messages about you. My grandmother didn't allow me to contact you. Now those messages are self-defeating, so I dare to talk to you. I hope you don't take it to heart." .”
What he said was fair and honest. Xu Nuo liked it very much and nodded slightly.
The two of them walked in together, and Wang Muyu introduced the structure of the opera house to Xu Nuo. In addition to the pear trees on the mountain, there is also a large pear garden behind the house. There are some pavilions around where you can stay and eat in the pavilions when you are hungry. Visitors can chant poems, play the piano, and play games. There is no distinction between men and women, and they are very free.
Wang Muyu has seven aunts. The eldest aunt is in her forties and has never married. She loves this pear tree the most. She is good at beekeeping and lives here all year round. The younger aunt is seventeen years old this year and is very close to the elder aunt. She has lived with her in Liyuan since she was ten years old.
They walked slowly. When they entered the flower hall, there were already many people inside. Xu Qian had already greeted a few familiar girls and had a lively chat. When she saw Xu Nuo coming in, she hurried over.
"Liu Niang, why are you walking so slowly? Let me introduce some ladies to you." Xu Qian has a soft voice and a friendly smile. She is really a model of a good sister.
