Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 49 Going Out
Hui Lan ate dinner alone, and then went for a stroll around the aunt's house.He was dragged and talked a lot, and got a box of bright new jewelry.

Don't say that Cymbidium has become numb and treats money like dung.Living in this aristocratic family that treats gold and jade as clay, what can she do.Of course, it's just following the crowd, getting used to it, and developing an aristocratic temperament.

"Take it and play with it. The season is about to change, so I won't make too many thick clothes. I picked out a lot of materials, and I will make you wear the most fashionable spring clothes." Who doesn't like dressing up little girls, let alone Mrs. Li It's been almost three years, and the enthusiasm is surging like a volcanic eruption.

Hui Lan smiled cutely, "Auntie Xie, you love me, and don't forget about the old lady, aunt, aunt and cousins, we all dress exquisitely and beautifully so they are eye-catching. I also have a lot of fabrics over there. Let it go to waste, and when I go back, I will have someone tidy it up and send it to my aunt."

"My aunt is half-mature, she can't be more eye-catching than a little girl in anything she wears." Mrs. Li's eye lines almost appeared when she smiled, and she still laughed at herself.

Damn it, my aunt is only in her early thirties, and she is already considered a mid-mature girl at this moment! ! !

Although there are no concubines in the manor, the eldest lady sent a maidservant to serve the Duke after her 35th birthday.My aunt didn't feel that there was anything wrong, let alone avoid her.Seriously, it should be so.The elder sister-in-law has a son and a daughter, and there is no shortage of eldest son Chengjue in the house. The birth is sad, and it is important to take care of herself.

Hearing this, Hui Lan's expression became strange for a long time.It means that sending a concubine to her husband is not to fall out of favor, but to stop having children?This, that... really makes sense.Although the development of Daqin's medical skills is quite good, giving birth to children has been a terrible job since ancient times.The eldest lady has sons and daughters, and the Duke of Zhen's mansion has a son who can inherit the title, so there is no need to worry about getting rid of the nobility. Of course, it is important to protect yourself and take care of your children.

Hui Lan tossed and turned in the middle of the night. The status of Daqin women is not low, and noble women are even higher.Emperor Taizu laid down the iron law: the imperial court should emphasize the eldest son, and those who have no sons will be exempted from the title.The concubine cannot inherit the title, nor can he be a high-ranking official above the third rank.A concubine's status is lower than that of a maidservant, and if she is involved in business, she will not be able to be upright for life, otherwise the head of the family will be dismissed from office and sent to the noble and fined.

In addition to being slightly pitted, the emotional Taizu also supports women's rights. This is simply a good policy worthy of celebration.Although it is unfair to some people, it guarantees the status and rights of the eldest wife.It can't be that I work hard to manage the family business. If the red flag in your house is not down, the colorful flags are fluttering outside, and in the end, you bring your little wife and illegitimate child to death to rob the family property.Taizu training: no way, fuck off.Well done!

In that case, Hui Lan felt that she could make a good plan for her future destination.

"I'm going to your grandfather's house tomorrow, have you packed everything?" Mrs. Li said in a word, and brought Hui Lan's soul back from the sky.

"Uh, I'm used to going there, everything is packed, don't worry, aunt." Hui Lan immediately connected.

The two chatted a few more gossips, and Mrs. Li sent her niece back.

Mama Wang had caught a cold earlier, and although she was recovering soon, she tried her best not to be in front of Huilan.

So this time I didn't bring her to my grandfather's house. Huilan brought Mama Lin, Liuya Narcissus, Jadeite and Jasper.

Before going to bed, I didn't forget to ask Qingguo Ming'er and Ms. Wang to send a few horses of the accumulated good materials to my aunt.While helping her to sleep, Qingguo agreed that she would be on duty tonight, so she still had to explain tomorrow.

After breakfast the next day, Hui Lan dressed up and went to bid farewell to her aunt, eldest lady, and old lady in turn.By the way, Xiaoqi was teased for a while, and then she took her maid, mother and guard, and took a carriage to go to the grandfather's house.

She is used to coming here, and knows everyone at the door.As soon as her carriage entered the alley, someone ran in to spread the word, and someone came out to greet her.

At this time, my grandfather went to work and my cousins ​​went to school.So when Hui Lan got off the car in the inner courtyard, she only saw her cousin standing there in a cloak.

"Oh, after a year, my cousin looks even better." Hui Lan happily took her cousin's hand and boasted as soon as they met.

Cousin Wang probably got used to her sweet mouth, so she just pursed her lips and smiled and said, "How can it compare to Ah Hui, who has become more and more mellow with each passing year."

Huilan wasn't angry either, she wasn't fat, but she was in good health. For such words, she had the right to praise her, and she was very proud, "That's good, after a big year, my hard work was not in vain .”

Even though Cousin Wang was used to her boasting like this, she still couldn't help laughing.The maids and mothers around her were all familiar with Hui Lan, and they all smiled kindly.

Cousin Wang's boudoir name is Xiuli, and she knows she's not a good talker, so she won't say anything if she can't talk about her cousin.He just took Hui Lan's hand and walked towards her yard, "When grandfather and brothers come back in the evening, I will set up a banquet for Ah Hui."

"It's easy to say, as long as I prepare my cousin's specialty dim sum, I'll be content." Hui Lan and her cousin talked and laughed as they walked.

The two sisters went into Cousin Wang's yard hand in hand, and Hui Lan liked Cousin Wang's house very much.It's not as magnificent as the boudoir of the lady in the government's mansion, which is magnificent and oppressive; the little lady of Wenchen's family has an elegant house, with a strong bookish atmosphere.

Originally, Dongci Room, which was supposed to be a warm pavilion, should be a study room. Except for the big kang facing the window, the other two sides are large bookshelves to the top, full of various books, scrolls, and pens, inks and papers. Inkstone and the like.There is a big book table in the middle, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.There are different sizes of wolf brushes and sheep brushes hanging on the pen holder, there is always ink in the inkstone, and there is always paper on the table or a scroll that is being written.There is a simple mahogany lamp stand next to the table, and on the other side is a large painted vat with clear flowers and cloud patterns, which is stuffed a lot.The small regular script with hairpin flowers, against the fragrance of books and ink in the room, is really pleasing to the eye.

Hui Lan once lamented that in such a room, she, an ordinary person, would feel guilty every time she entered this room.

But Hui Lan has a thick skin, and her cousin is not the kind of wife who is stupid and pedantic in reading.So she likes to be with her cousin, watch her draw, and read books with her.

Although Hui Lan's paintings are mediocre, she just likes them.So I also like this cousin who is very good at painting and gentle and amiable. Every time she comes, she basically hangs out with her cousin.Grandfather is old and has a business trip, even if it hurts her, he can at most have a meal and talk with her.The two cousins ​​are a bit older than her, and they don't bother coaxing the children, and they don't get along much.

The two of them went to the big clothes outside and went into the study together.

Hui Lan was a little impatient, "The painting my cousin promised me, I have been waiting for this year since last year, you can't delay any longer."

Cousin Wang couldn't laugh or cry, the last time Huilan came over on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, she wanted a painting as a New Year's gift.She was so troubled by the headache, she agreed.But she has to take care of the middle school and take care of the New Year's affairs, so how can she have free time.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll keep it for you when you leave." Knowing her cousin's pestering skills, Cousin Wang hurriedly comforted her.

Hui Lan is not a real child, although she wants to paint, she wants to make her quiet cousin more lively.So I didn't urge any more, I just searched and worshiped my cousin's new works with great interest.The two sisters talked a few words, and then she found a book she was interested in, and let her cousin leave her alone, and just put the book on the kang and threw herself into it.

Cousin Wang doesn't bother her cousin either, she also likes to read.My cousin loves to read, and she is also happy.So I just went out quietly and ordered the maids to quietly serve hot tea and dried fruit snacks.Ask Mother Lin to take the maids back to the yard next door where Hui Lan usually lives to clean up and resettle.He left an old maid in the study to wait on her with Narcissus, and went to deal with the housework.
