Chapter 73 Weighing
As soon as the sky turned slightly pale, Mother Chang knocked on the door and shouted.

Sanskrit did not lie in bed, but had already dressed and had breakfast.

"Miss Yang's family woke up so early, but the old slave came a little late." Chang's mother was surprised when she saw that the house was tidy and clean, even more tidy and clean than they prepared the house yesterday.

Fanyin smiled lightly and said, "Father went to work earlier, and he also likes to eat the noodle soup I made by myself. He also wakes up early at this time every day, and he is used to it."

Chang's mother looked at Qing Miao, Qing Miao took a step forward and said: "At home, the eldest lady cooks herself, and slaves are not allowed to intervene."

"It's strange, Master Yang is also lucky." Mother Chang said with a smile and a few words of greeting: "Then let's go out and get in the carriage?"

Qing Miao handed over the hand warmer, and then went to pick the door curtain. Sanskrit did not back down, and went out. Mother Chang saw that she hadn't made any trouble, and she knew the rules and rituals well, so she couldn't help but look at Qing Miao who was following behind.

Qing Miao knew what Chang's mother wanted to ask, so she leaned forward and said, "I understand it before, so I don't need to teach it."

Mother Chang nodded slightly, and quickly walked a few steps to follow.

Everyone was already waiting at the entrance of the Fang Mansion, waiting for the masters to go out. When Sanskrit walked away, he was slightly surprised. It was not originally agreed that she would accompany Mrs. Fang to the temple to offer incense, but why were there three carriages?
Sanskrit came here and did not go forward, waiting for Chang's mother to lead the way.

Mother Chang trotted forward a few steps, led Sanskrit to the last carriage, and said with a smile: "Miss Yang, please get in the carriage and wait for a while, this old slave will go back to invite Madam."

Fanyin only nodded slightly, and then was supported by Qingmiao to step into the car, Qingmiao was a little curious, and couldn't help but leaned over and asked Chang's mother in a low voice: "Mom, besides madam, are there any other masters accompanying you today? "

"It's Madam's niece." Chang's mother didn't say much, but hurried back to meet Madam Fang.

It was a bit cold outside, Fanyin asked Qing Miao to get into the carriage and wait together.

As soon as Qing Miao got into the car, she told what happened just now, "Madam Fang's niece was also with me. I have heard about that young lady's maidservant. She is from Beijing. Madam Fang likes her very much. She often talks about her, but Why did you come to Qingcheng County in such a cold weather?"

Fanyin glanced at the carriage, "How old is she?"

"It seems to be two or three years older than you." Qing Miao pouted, "No wonder Madam didn't see you when I came here yesterday, and I'm entertaining her natal family."

"People are relatives, we are guests, these things are incomparable, don't talk nonsense when you go out." Fanyin warned, "Let's just pretend that we don't know anything."

Qing Miao nodded hastily, "I'll save it for you, but I'm just nagging in my heart."

Sanskrit did not say any more, but calmed down and waited.

The sun has revealed its entire face, looking down at the earth in mid-air, the smoke is rising, the traders who got up early have already taken their burdens out, and there are more pedestrians on the street.

But Mrs. Fang and the lady from Beijing still didn't come out. Sanskrit was not in a hurry, but Qing Miao was in a hurry, "It's been almost two quarters of an hour, why haven't they come out yet? There won't be any changes, right?"

"Just wait slowly. This is the county magistrate's mansion. If there is any change, you will come and tell us. What are you in a hurry for?" Sanskrit quietly raised the curtain of the carriage, and the waiting servants were wiping their noses while waiting. There was still no movement in the mansion.

Qing Miao anxiously got out of the car to look at it several times, and Fanyin couldn't help laughing lightly. In fact, she knew in her heart that maybe Mrs. Fang was a little dissatisfied with her father's letter yesterday.

I didn't see her when I came here yesterday, but today I deliberately asked her to come out early and wait patiently.

If it was a young lady from an ordinary family, she might have sent a maid to ask, but Fanyin was indifferent. Although Qingmiao had worked in this mansion before, it was very convenient to find someone to ask a few questions.But now she is the servant girl of the Yang family, and her words and deeds represent the Yang family. If she really opened this mouth, she would be the one who lost face.

"Here we come." Qing Miao leaned to the side of the carriage and called twice in a low voice. Sanskrit stepped out of the carriage to meet her, and saw the crowd crowding Mrs. Fang out, and beside her was an expensively dressed young lady with a tall figure. Tall, with phoenix eyes and a beautiful nose, she was wearing a small purple leather jacket with a fox fur scarf around her.She is a beautiful woman who walks and smiles with Mrs. Fang.

Before approaching the door, Mrs. Fang looked up at Fanyin waiting beside the carriage, and waved her hand with a smile, "I kept you waiting for a long time, originally I was thinking about the two of us going to the temple to burn incense, but who knew that this girl would follow her?" , Delayed our trip, but please wait, this is my niece Wen Xiyun, Xiyun, this is the Huai Liu I told you about last night, she is three years younger than you, and has already taken care of the housework alone , you guys should have a lively chat."

Fanyin saluted with a smile, didn't mention the long wait at all, then looked at Xiyun and said, "It's my honor to meet you, I still need to take care of you."

The words were very polite, Wen Xiyun stood there looking up and down Sanskrit for a while, then nodded with a smile, "I heard my aunt talking about you yesterday, but it's better to meet you than to hear about you, and you really can't be alone, Sister Huai Liu see She is only eight or nine years old when she looks up, but she is really a miracle woman who can take on so many things."

"Thank you." Sanskrit didn't say much, Mrs. Fang gathered everyone to get in the car, "Hurry up and get in the car, there is still an hour on the way, so don't delay too long, there will be a stove-warming meeting in the afternoon, and the guests can't come, I will He hasn't come back yet."

After Madam Fang said that, she went to the first carriage. Wen Xiyun did not get into the second carriage and asked to go with Madam Fang.

Fanyin didn't make do with it, and got into the car that was waiting just now. Although Qingmiao was a maid, Fanyin still let her get into the car, and Qingmiao couldn't help but said: "That lady is really a beauty, she is so beautiful in her clothes. The servant girl's eyes are all dazzled!"

"People from central Beijing are naturally different from us, how can they compare?" Sanskrit thought about Wen Xiyun, could this be the daughter-in-law in Mrs. Fang's mind?

Qing Miao nodded, but immediately shook her head again, "But that high-spirited energy was too aggressive, because she delayed the time, and didn't even have a word of apology..."

"Don't worry about it, just finish everything today. We'll go back after the stove warming meeting. I'd rather give in than make trouble, understand?" Fanyin felt like a 50-[-]-year-old old woman, except Caution is nagging.

Qing Miao felt that her young lady knew how to measure, and she didn't care at all that she was six or seven years older than Sanskrit, "Slaves and servants just listen to young lady."

Sanskrit twitched the corners of his mouth with a wry smile, then closed his eyes and meditated, and began to wonder if Mrs. Fang would make trouble when she went to the temple to offer incense, and how should she deal with it?

Mrs. Fang and Wen Xiyun were chatting in the carriage, and Wen Xiyun couldn't help but ask Yang Huailiu, "Auntie likes that little girl just now, she is dressed plain enough, and she doesn't look like an official lady at all."

"Their family is different from ordinary families. Their mother died young, and their father did not reunite. I even sent the maids around." Mrs. Fang looked at Wen Xiyun, "Don't underestimate her, she knows as much as you do."

Wen Xiyun curled her lips, thinking of Fang Jingzhi, "My cousin took good care of her, and you went to pick her up in person yesterday?"

"Jingzhi is going to find her father to ask for lessons, and Master Yang is a Jinshi from the previous subject."

"People who came from Jinshi became the master book?" Wen Xiyun was full of surprise, and Madam Fang smiled slightly, "Do you think they are all rich families?"

Wen Xiyun's face was still astonished, "This is the first time I've heard of it."

"You should stay with your aunt for a while this time, and let Jingzhi take you around for a while. After the spring of the new year, your aunt will return to Beijing to visit relatives before sending you back." Mrs. Fang held her hand tightly. hand, "You are not allowed to refuse, otherwise my aunt will be sad."

Wen Xiyun forced a smile, and had no choice but to nod in agreement, "As long as my father agrees, I will stay with my aunt."

Mrs. Fang smiled and nodded, and the two started talking about other topics...

Although Fuling Temple is the first temple around Qingcheng County, it is actually located around the county border, far away from the center of Qingcheng County.

Now that it is winter, the ground is covered with snow, and the journey time is inevitably longer.

Even so, there is still an endless stream of people going to the temple to burn incense. Before they reach Fuling Temple, both sides of the road are already full of small merchants and hawkers selling things.

Chang's mother brought snacks and hot tea, Fanyin took a sip, and shared it with Qingmiao.

The carriage slowed down due to the large number of people, Sanskrit raised the curtain of the carriage and looked out at the excitement.

Not long after, the team from the county magistrate's mansion stopped, and Qing Miao immediately jumped out of the carriage, first helped Sanskrit to get out of the carriage, and then the two walked forward, waiting for Mrs. Fang to come down.

"Are you tired from the journey? Do you need to take a rest first?" Mrs. Fang's words were just greetings, and Sanskrit responded with a smile: "Huai Liu used to meditate at home, and she has been rejuvenated since she came here without resting. , you can accompany Madam at any time, I wonder if Madam is tired and needs to take a rest before leaving?"

Madam Fang smiled, "In that case, let's go, so as not to waste time."

"Auntie, I can't walk anymore. Why don't you go in first? I'll go later." Wen Xiyun didn't get off the carriage, and she seemed to have just fallen asleep listening to her tired voice.

Fanyin smiled lightly and said nothing, Mrs. Fang's face was slightly displeased, "After all, you have to burn a stick of incense when you come here, don't touch the taboo, your father pays most attention to such things, let him know, but be careful about your ass .”

Wen Xiyun reluctantly got up and got out of the carriage, coquettishly took Madam Fang's arm, "I can't afford to offend my aunt, then let's go."

Mrs. Fang looked at Sanskrit and said with a smile: "I heard from Jingzhi that Huailiu's Vegetarian Craftsmanship is very good. I wonder if I have such a good fortune today?"

Looking at Mrs. Fang's appreciative eyes, Fanyin couldn't help but "thump" in his heart...
