Qingyan sighed in her heart and thought, the children of this big family are indeed going to marry, and it seems that Xue Minghua's two brothers and daughters-in-law should also have family backgrounds.

One is the Sun family in this city, and the other is the He family in Bianzhou... Wait!He family?

The He family in Bianzhou, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?Didn't that guy who disguised himself as a man just tell her to go to He's house in Bianzhou to find her?
She just said why the He family is so familiar, can't it happen to belong to the same family?
At this time, they had turned into a larger garden, which was also a garden, and walked through the garden to a moon gate. There was a small room next to it with lights inside, and someone should be guarding it.

"Grandma Li! Come out!"

Steward Yang raised his voice slightly and shouted.

Soon an old woman who seemed to be in her fifties came out of the hut, holding an oil lamp in one hand, and protecting the wick in the other to block the wind so that the oil lamp would not go out.

After squinting his eyes, he recognized Manager Yang, "Guard Yang? It's so late, but I have something to do with the master? And who are these? Why did you come directly to the backyard?"

Guanshi Yang didn't say much to her, he just said: "Go and ask my old lady to come out, just say I'm looking for her."

The old lady of his family was with his wife and was the internal steward of the backyard. He, an outsider, was definitely not allowed to enter the backyard, not to mention night, even during the day.

Back then, because the young lady disappeared, a group of people were changed in the backyard, and they were all sent to the Zhuangzi. The gatekeeper Mrs. Li was transferred from the Zhuangzi. She didn't know about the young lady, and she didn't even know about it after hearing it from others. Missy's appearance.

It's not appropriate for her to inform the wife or bring the eldest lady in, and let his old lady come to him to rest assured.

The old woman responded, put the oil lamp back into the hut, and went back.

They waited at the Moon Gate, and Steward Yang asked Xue Minghua worriedly: "Miss, can your legs still hold up? How about I wrong you to sit in the gatekeeper's hut?"

The gatekeeper's hut was too small, and there was only a small couch about 1.5 meters horizontally, and a table for tea and oil lamps. There was really no way to take it out for her to sit on, so she had to go inside.

"No need, my legs are fine, just wait here."

Xue Minghua shook her head, she was in the excitement of seeing her mother soon, and she couldn't care whether she was hurt or not.

Guanshi Yang and Qingyan all looked at her leg, probably because of Qingyan's support, seeing that her injured leg did not fall to the ground, there should be no problem, so they were all relieved.

In just six or seven minutes, that Mrs. Li came back with another woman in her 7s carrying a lantern.

This woman's clothes are obviously much better than those of Li's, but her hair is a little messy, she should have fallen asleep and was woken up from the bed.

Qingyan couldn't figure it out, did Guanshi Yang and his wife sleep separately like this?One in the front yard and one in the back yard?
Then it's really hard to be a slave, because after getting married, they have to live apart because of their respective masters.

The woman stepped forward and was about to ask her man what he wanted from her when she saw Qingyan and Xue Minghua standing next to him.

He rushed over all at once, his face was also full of excitement, his eyes were red, and when he was about to speak, he was cut off by Steward Yang.

"Old lady, you take them in to see Madam first."

This is not a place to talk, the matter of the eldest lady's return, it is up to the master and wife to decide whether to spread it out, and how to arrange it so that outsiders can't look down on the eldest lady.

After hearing what her man said, Zhang Fangcao quickly stopped talking, suppressed her excitement, and then said: "Okay, okay, little... please follow me."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the other side of Xue Minghua to support her, shone a lantern on their feet with one hand, and led them inward.

Seeing them walking away, Steward Yang gave some instructions to the old woman, then turned around and went back to the front yard.

When no one was there, Zhang Fangcao cried as she walked, "Woo...my good lady...you are finally back, why don't you send a message to the family, so that the old slave can pick you up ..."

Xue Minghua also had tears in his eyes. He could restrain himself in front of Steward Yang just now, but he couldn't help it in front of Mrs. Zhang.

Zhang Fangcao used to be her nanny, and it can be said that she brought her up single-handedly. She spent more time with her than with her biological mother. When Xue Minghua saw her, tears rolled in his eyes. Crying, the tears couldn't help falling down.

Choking with sobs, she replied in a low voice: "Nurse...I...I was kidnapped back then. Although I was rescued later, it was a bad reputation. How can I come back and ruin the family tradition..."

Zhang Fangcao couldn't help interrupting her and said: "Miss, you are so confused! The master and wife only said that you went to your natal family. If you sent a letter back, they would have brought you back long ago. There is no way outside." Know……"

Xue Minghua shook his head and said: "I thought about it for a while, but I don't regret it. If I come back, I won't have such filial sons and daughters."

Saying this, he waved to Fulai and Huaner, "Fulai, Huaner, this is my mother's nanny, you can just call Granny Zhang, nanny, this is my son Fulai and daughter Huaner."

Then he introduced Qingyan and said: "This is Qingyan, and she is also from our Xue family. Thanks to her for sending us back, otherwise we don't know when we will be back."

She didn't talk about Chen Jiawang's affairs, since she had left anyway, there was no need to mention that person's affairs, and it would save those who cared about her from feeling uncomfortable.

From now on, it's enough to just say that Huan'er and Fulai's father is dead. Of course, she has to make it clear to her family that she is reconciled. It's good to take the initiative and leave here.

As for wanting to kill her and sell the child, there is no need to mention these.

Of course, the premise is that that person will not appear in front of her again. If that person appears again, he will definitely not help him hide these things again.

The legs of the mother and son of the Chen family were broken, and she took the child away again. She felt that they were completely separated. As long as the other party did not show up, they would be well. If they appeared in front of their mother again, she would not mind letting them go The family helped and cleaned him up. This is her bottom line.

……

Afterwards, they entered a larger courtyard, with five rooms in the main room and six rooms in the side rooms, connected with the main room by a corridor.

They walked to the door of a room on the left side of the main room, and looked at the exquisite carvings on the door and the window edge. They turned out to be pictures of flowers, birds and figures!
This is the first time she has entered the house of this ancient rich family. She used to think that the palaces and famous temples she saw in later generations were the essence of ancient architecture.

Her family's courtyard house and the antique Chinese-style villas in Hong Kong City are also imitations, and they can be regarded as carved beams and painted buildings.

But compared with the houses of this real ancient rich family, it is still not so interesting.

Look at the doors and windows of other people's houses, they are all made of good wood, even the eaves are carved, not to mention the furniture inside the house, it is probably the kind you have seen in museums, It's a good stepping bed.

And this is not a top-level rich family, it is just a side branch of the Xue family, who only has an official position in a city in the Xingtang Mansion. It is conceivable that such a rich family in the imperial city must be more luxurious.

Zhang Fangcao patted Xue Minghua's arm, let go of the hand supporting her, and knocked softly on the door.

Immediately, I heard a young woman's soft voice reply, "Who is it?"

Zhang Fangcao replied: "It's me, Chun'er. Just call Madam and Master, and tell me that the old lady has something urgent to report."

The one inside was obviously the maid who was in charge of the night watch today. She didn't say much, and went to report it after a reply.

Qingyan nodded secretly in her heart, look, this is the quality that a maid from a real wealthy family in ancient times should have, like the one on TV, it is impossible for a maid to ask questions first, as long as she does her best Just do your job, you should pass on the word, you should keep vigil at night, how can there be so many overreachers, if you really want to do that, you probably would have died long ago.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there really is that kind of servant. It may be that kind of family with no background, so that kind of servant appears.

Soon Qingyan heard the voices of a man and a woman coming from inside, and then there was a rustling sound, probably they were getting dressed.

This room looks quite big from the outside, and it is probably quite deep inside. There are compartments and maidservants outside, and there must be another room inside, so the sound came from inside, and it was not loud. Xue Minghua and the others didn't hear it. .

I waited like this for a while, probably because the clothes of the ancients were cumbersome, and the ancients would dress neatly as soon as they left the room, so it took a long time for the little maid to open the door again and let Zhang Fangcao in .

Zhang Fangcao gave Xue Minghua a reassuring look before entering the room first. If she wanted to go in, she would tell the old man and his wife first, and take the eldest lady and the others in, for fear that the lady would be too excited and make too much noise.

Then I saw the little maid named Chun'er retreating, and Zhang Fangcao came out after a while.

He came over to support Xue Minghua and said, "Miss, let's go in. Madam and Master already know about it and are waiting for you."

As an outsider, it's not good for Qingyan to go in with her. After all, it's a family affair. On the other hand, if she enters the bedroom of her parents, her biological daughter is fine, but she, an outsider, is not so good.

Then he whispered to Xue Minghua: "I won't go in, just wait outside."

Xue Minghua thinks about it too. She wants to reminisce with her family for a while, and she will definitely cry. Tired, no need to stay up all night with them.

Then she said to Zhang Fangcao: "Nurse, let someone arrange a guest room for Sister Qingyan, let her go to rest first, thanks to her, she must be tired too."

Zhang Fangcao nodded and said: "It's the old slave who neglected the guests, don't blame Miss Qingyan, the old slave will arrange it now."

Then he said to Chun'er who was standing not far away: "Chun'er, you take this young lady to the guest courtyard next to her to settle down before you come back, and let the little girl over there take care of her, so don't neglect her."

"Yes, Mama Zhang, Chun'er will make arrangements."

Chun'er nodded, bowed to Qing Yanfu, and made a gesture of invitation, "Miss, please come with the servants."

Qingyan let go of Xue Minghua's arm, and seeing that she could walk with a cane, she followed Chun'er out of the main courtyard, and went to the guest courtyard next to her through the corner door.

This is really the guest courtyard next to it, separated by a wall, it should be for relatives or important guests staying at home.

The yard is neither big nor small, similar to the ordinary small ones outside, with three main rooms and two side rooms.

Two of the main rooms should be for guests, and one is relatively narrow, and should be for servants who serve.

This guest house usually has special servants to look after them, and Chun'er started calling for them as soon as they came in.

Soon a little maid came out from that side room, she looked to be about the same age as Qingyan, maybe even younger.

His facial features are quite good, bright and generous, but his skin is a bit rough, and his face looks yellow under the light of the oil lamp. I don't know whether it is the light or his own skin color.

Chun'er introduced to Qingyan: "Miss, this is Xiaoyue who is serving in the guest house, if you have anything to do, please tell her directly.

Xiaoyue, this is a distinguished guest in our house, you have to take good care of her, you know, the room can be cleaned up? "

Xiaoyue nodded repeatedly and said, "It's clean. I tidy up the house every day, and the bedding inside is also dried every day. I just smoked the incense today, so I can move in directly."

Qingyan didn't tell them her surname. After she said it, it seemed that she really belonged to the young lady of this family. After all, her surname was also Xue. The girls are all married and live in a guest house, so there should be no misunderstanding.

Chun'er gave Xiaoyue a few more instructions, gave another salute to Qingyan, and then left. She had to go back to work.

Qingyan followed Xiaoyue into the main room of the guest courtyard, she lit the candles in the main room, and went to help make the bed.

Qingyan looked at the candles and raised her eyebrows. She thought that oil lamps were used at this time. After all, she had never seen a candle since she came here.

The candle is similar to the ones of later generations, but thicker, and the candlestick is also very beautiful, a bronze candlestick in the shape of a crane.

Qingyan looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, and then remembered that it was in the Xiangxiang space.

Before my parents went to the sea to salvage many shipwrecks, there were many bronze wares among the antiques salvaged inside, many of which were thrown out by cultural relic dealers. It was just bad luck that the ship sank at sea.

Those with historical significance and research value have been handed over to the country by their parents, but they have also left a lot. Although they are old, they have survived a lot. Among them, there seem to be such candlesticks. Less like this one.

She used to think that the lamps in ancient times were all oil lamps, and it was only later that she saw that there was a stick on the candlestick, which her father said was used to insert candles, so she knew that candles had existed long ago.
