Wei Shu

The Cheng Mansion, which had been quiet for more than a month, finally became lively again.

More than a dozen people from the East Mansion, plus the two households in the West Mansion, the old and the young, and a pair of young Feng's grandsons and granddaughters, gathered in the Jinxiu Hall, and the Ming room was packed to the brim. You have to tiptoe when you walk, otherwise you have to step on someone's shoes when you turn around.

However, everyone's thoughts are not on etiquette at this time, even Xie Shi, the second wife of Xifu, who is usually the most picky, doesn't care whether the tea is cold or hot, and whether the rules of the maids are good or bad.

Holding a brocade handkerchief in her hand, she glanced at the courtyard door from time to time, with curiosity that she tried her best to restrain but couldn't hide.

Time seemed to be stretched extremely long.

Except for a few maids and women, there was no one at the gate of the courtyard.

Just as everyone in Jinxiu Hall was waiting anxiously, a servant woman suddenly trotted into the gate from the outside and said loudly: "The second master, the second wife, and the third girl are here."

It's finally here.

Everyone looked intently, only to feel that several figures had turned into the moon cave gate, and the first two were the mother and daughter of Dongfu who had been missing for nearly two months.

Mrs. Jiang was wearing a blue and soft Russell cross-neck shirt, covered with Mianyangqing woven gold long braids, and eight tea-and-white Hunan skirts, with a half-opened jade hibiscus embroidered on the corner.

Jade hibiscus is a famous product among chrysanthemums, and the embroidered pattern also has a certain charm. The branches and leaves are stretched and leisurely. With Jiang's steps, the flower branches at the corners of the skirt are swaying slowly, like flowers moving with the wind, don't add some elegance .

Cheng Yuejiao at the side gently supported Jiang's arm. She was wearing a goose-yellow shirt, a snow-purple pleated plain skirt, and a gauze shirt as thin as a cicada's wings, which complemented her bright eyes, teeth, and skin Snow, bright and colorful.

However, the splendid clothes and outstanding appearance of the two of them were ignored by everyone in unanimous agreement. At this moment, the center of everyone's attention is another person.

A man who goes last.

It was a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a dark black dress and a scarf on her forehead, her eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful, especially her pair of autumn water clear pupils, which were cold and clear, as if they could be reflected in the sky.

She was several steps behind Jiang's mother and daughter, and was the last one to step into the courtyard gate.

But the strange thing is that the first thing everyone saw was her.

And, only her.

For a moment, everyone had a strange illusion, as if this woman was the only one walking alone in this world.That black fiber image has a strange suction, absorbing all the light and shadow around it.

However, this weird look only lasted for a while, and soon, everyone's eyes fell on the two people in front again, and then, there were breathing sounds of varying severity in the room.

If there is substance in the eyes, seventeen or eight transparent holes may have been poked out of the mother and daughter of the Jiang family at this time.

Feeling the gathered eyes, Jiang's expression remained the same, but he frowned slightly in his heart.

Still the same.

After so many years, the scenery is different, but the people are still the same.

Sure enough, what Mrs. Jiang said was right. No matter how strong the fragrance of the Cheng family's books is, it can't hide the word "greedy" underneath.

This home has never changed.Maybe it will never change.

Jiang shi's hands in her sleeves rubbed the jade bracelet on her wrist, the hard and cool touch went up her sleeves and penetrated directly into her eyes.

In the corner of the west end of the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Yuechan, the eldest girl of the West Mansion, has a little bit of eyesight.

She opened her eyes wide, and turned from the twelve-hour precious stone inlaid on Cheng Yuejiao's bun to the golden silk red jade pendant next to her ear, and then back to the beaded flower on her bun, her silver teeth were almost crushed.

If her dowry could add such a face, she would be willing to die even if she died.

While thinking this way, Cheng Yuechan subconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand, glanced to the side, and saw the Wang family who was sitting horizontally in the eastern capital.

Wang's complexion is dignified, and he is staring at the person coming from a distance, with a dignified air on his body.

Cheng Yuechan's heart tightened, she immediately let go of the veil in her hand, and pulled her gaze away from the dazzling jewelry with difficulty.

This Mrs. Wang of the Eastern Mansion is a person who accepts death very well, and has always acted upright and knows no flexibility.Moreover, today is the big day for the mother and daughter to go home, if something happens at this time, it will definitely not be settled with a few big words.

Just wait a few more days.

Cheng Yuechan thought to herself.His eyes flicked aside, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.

The girls in the West Mansion also looked demure and elegant at this time, as if they were not moved by the shining golden beads. If she didn't know these dead girls well, she would really think that these girls were all ok.

This time, she absolutely, absolutely will not give in again.

She is the eldest daughter of the West Mansion, and she is about to get married, and no one in the mansion can surpass her, and no one can take away what she fancyes.

Cheng Yuechan seemed to see the deflated appearance of those girls, and felt a little relief in her heart, and her brows and eyes relaxed a little.

The future will be long, and we will be a family anyway. There is absolutely no reason why one house is rich and the others are poor.Isn't there a saying in that book that "when the water is full, it overflows"?

Since the Jiang family is very rich, they should evenly distribute the "overflowed" oil and water to their family members. This is what a family of good deeds does.

The reasoning in the book was indeed correct, and Cheng Yuechan's eagerness became more and more intense. She managed to suppress her distracting thoughts, and when she returned to her senses, she saw that beautiful aunt who was talking to everyone in the East Mansion. I have seen the two old men.

However, why didn't the uncles from Dongfu come?

Cheng Yuechan turned her head and looked around, seeing that Cheng Ji's three brothers were not there, she couldn't help feeling slightly surprised.

This family recognizes relatives, so there is no need to be wary of any men and women inside and outside, they have all the young and old from the West Mansion, why is there no man who can take care of things in the East Mansion.

What happened?
"Second daughter-in-law, where have you been for the past two months?" Madam Feng's voice suddenly sounded, and Cheng Yuechan immediately collected her thoughts and looked at the front of the hall.

Old Madam Feng slowly turned the rosary in her hand, her eyes narrowed into slits, she stared at Mrs. Jiang for a moment, and said:
"I see that you don't seem to be lost. Why didn't you send a letter to your family? Now why did you go home suddenly? You explained the truth to the old man."

Come, come, play eye is coming.

Cheng Si and Hua Shi looked at each other, with a look of watching the show on their faces, and everyone in the two houses held their breaths. Those eyes, which concealed excitement, anticipation, curiosity and malice, were like a pair of eyes. The shiny lanterns, with scorching heat, all gathered around Jiang Shi's body.

If Jiang Shi didn't realize it, she bent slightly towards the seat, and the jade hibiscus at the corner of her skirt seemed to bloom in the wind, just like her unhurried voice:
"When I go back to my mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law met bandits in Cangyan Mountain, and all the bodyguards invited by my family members died. Only Jiaoer and I were blessed by the heavens and escaped unscathed."
