Chapter 70

Speaking of this Yong'an Marquis Mansion, the old Marquis received the emperor's favor and was conferred a noble title, and the hereditary descendants can inherit the noble title for three generations.

The old Hou Ye had three sons in total, the only eldest son, Wen Tao and Wu Lue, were talented in the world, but it was a pity that the sky was jealous of the talents, and he died in his early twenties.In great grief, the old Marquis promised to let the eldest son's posthumous son become the noble.Unavoidably, the second and third children were unhappy, and for the sake of taking care of the orphans and widows of the long house, the old Hou Ye said on his deathbed that the Yong'an Hou Mansion, regardless of honor or disgrace, will not separate families from generation to generation.

Now the three men of the older generation of Sanfang are gone, each of the three families has its own prosperity and decline, and the eldest family has only left a posthumous son, and now this posthumous son is the current grand master Rong.Because the second room has never been able to give birth to a son, they all married wives and took concubines, and there were six rooms in total. Maybe it was destined to be childless, but the girl gave birth to a bunch, but there was no one who took care of her. Lamented.The old lady of the third room disappeared a few years ago, leaving only a son and a daughter, and the son was the third master who greeted guests at the door.

Now this Elder Rong has also given birth to two sons, the eldest son is serving in the army, and the youngest son is Rong Huan.Each of the seven or eight girls in the second room is married.The third master gave birth to a son and two daughters, so I won't repeat them here.

Today's birthday party is the old widow of the long house, the mother of Mr. Rong, and now the most prestigious old lady of the Hou family in the mansion.

Let's say Huayin brother and sister walked all the way with Rong Huan, Rong Huan kept muttering to himself, begging his cousin to write him a picture next time no matter what.Hua Yin said that his craft is very mysterious, and he can only write one painting a year. If he wants to ask her to write, he must make sure that this matter must not be told to the outside world, and she will wait until the next time when he has accumulated enough strength. write to him.Rong Huan was excited and disappointed at the same time, but later he figured it out and said: "The rarer the more precious," he didn't struggle anymore.

Rong Huan was a bit taller than Hua Yin, Hua Erlang saw Rong Huan bowing his head, talking intimately next to Hua Yin, Hua Erlang frowned unconsciously, and squeezed into the middle of the two of them, Rong Huan also Not caring, Gululu went to the other side of Huayin to talk next to each other.Hua Erlang squeezed the two of them away again, repeated several times, Rong Huan was interrupted when he was excited, and finally became anxious, he stretched his arms around Hua Yin's shoulders, and walked forward quickly with her in his arms. Don't give Hanajiro a chance to see what happens.

While talking, I arrived at the place where the old lady was waiting for a group of female relatives. There was a stage in the courtyard, and I could hear babbling and singing from afar.When they arrived at the second gate, a servant girl came out to lead the three of them, and said: "Masters, there are all ladies and ladies inside. The old lady said that because they are all her own children, she didn't ask the young grandmothers and ladies to avoid them. But men, don't look up and look around, lest you offend the ladies, just follow me to say hello."

The three of them said yes, and followed the mother-in-law and maidservant according to the words.

Gradually approaching, there seemed to be a fragrance of powder in the wind.

When they arrived at the place, the three of them stood side by side, not daring to look around, and congratulated an old lady among them on her birthday.

The old lady Rong just stared at Hua Yin, and smiled, "Sure enough, he was carved out of the same mold as his sister, and it's really strange that the dragon and phoenix twins look so similar!"

All the female relatives smiled and said yes, and said a lot of compliments.

The old lady Rong called Hua Yin in front of her again, took her hand, touched her face, and asked her why she didn't want to go to the examination for fame, but went to study medicine.He also asked her if she really treated the prime minister's wife in the prime minister's mansion, and then said that if she was really interested in studying medicine, she would let her uncle clear it up for her, and she would study in the imperial hospital for a few years. Don't delay her cleverness when she is an imperial physician.In the end, he ordered the servant girl to bring two things to her as a meeting gift, and then let her go back.

The old lady Rong was obviously not as interested in Hua Erlang as she was in Huayin. She only asked about how many years of study she had obtained, and she also gave a meeting gift.

Afterwards, the Hua Erlang brothers and sisters paid their respects to the second wife, the second old lady, and they called the second old lady, and they called out respectfully, "Grandmother."

Hua Rong's biological mother was also standing next to the second old lady, Hua Yin was taken aback when she saw her, and thought to herself, no wonder her grandma had a hard time in Yong'an Hou Mansion, even after half a year this year, she still has her charm, which is better than some The little daughter-in-law who is a generation behind is all beautiful, why not make people jealous?

Seeing the two grandchildren, the aunt's old lady shed tears when she was agitated. She was so frightened that she quickly wiped them off, not daring to make a sound, and just smiled silently at the two grandchildren.

The old ladies didn't ask Huayin and the others to visit the old lady, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.After a while, she was led down again by the maids. When Huayin turned her head, she inadvertently saw a row of colorful little girls, but she still saw the third brother at a glance. Like lotus, with unique temperament, cool and beautiful, blooming quietly.

Huayin was excited by her own thoughts.

On the way back for the three of them, Rong Huan pulled Hua Yin and said, "Grandma seems to like you very much. If you have time in the future, our cousins ​​will walk around more."

Huayin shook her head secretly, it was just a look.Just imagine this old lady has been a widow not long after she married into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. She spent her whole life guarding her son and trying to survive among a bunch of women in the back house. It has been riddled with holes for a long time, and it is also the essence of human beings.

The three of them didn't go back, but wandered around in the yard. Just as they turned around a few plum blossoms, they heard someone crying, and then a man said angrily, "What if I touched you? The friendship with your uncle Jiazhen is even if I want him to give you to me!"

Rong Huan's face froze, and he stopped in his tracks, but Hua Yin had already walked over, taking a look, ho, acquaintance!It was Yun Shang's husband, Ning Banshan!
Seeing Hua Yin, Nan Ning Banshan was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. Just as he was about to call out to Amei, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stared at her in a daze and remained silent.

Hua Erlang also turned around, glanced at Ning Banshan, but didn't speak.It was Rong Huan who winked at the little girl, "What are you still doing here? Why don't you go!"

The little girl covered her face and ran away crying.

The uncle Zhen that Ning Banshan talked about is the son of the third master and Rong Huan's cousin, and that girl is also from the third bedroom.Rong Huan was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, and felt ashamed to run into this in front of outsiders in the mansion, so she called Hua Yin to leave.

But Ning Banshan came to his senses at this moment, ran over with a look of admiration, bowed to Huayin and said, "May I ask where this little brother's family is from?"

Hua Yin didn't want to talk to each other at first, but after thinking about it, she has a mission, which is to match Ning Banshan and Yunshang, a resentful couple, to be a harmonious couple who respect each other as guests in this life, so as not to offend him, and fear that it will be difficult to talk in the future, So he cupped his hands and replied: "My father is a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and my younger brother's surname is Hua and his name is Qian. He is the third in the family and lives in Ximen Lane."

"Oh!" Ning Banshan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and almost blurted out the name of his sister.Fortunately, he stopped in time, introduced himself first, and said: "Jiannei was friends with Lingmei when he was young, and he often mentioned it to me. I was lucky enough to meet him last winter. He is really the same as Brother Hua."

Hua Yin cursed inwardly, "Your father!" But she replied with a smile on her face: "My sister and I are twins, we were often mistaken for each other since we were young, but luckily the gap is getting bigger and bigger. "

After gossiping for a while, Ning Banshan shamelessly joined them, talked and walked with them.

After turning around for a while, I suddenly heard a servant call "Second Master Rong" indiscriminately.

Rong Huan hated these servants to death, and kept yelling in front of the guests, secretly thinking that the face of the Yong'an Houfu was about to be humiliated by these unruly people.

Rong Huan pointed at the servant's forehead angrily and said: "If it's nothing serious, see if I don't reward you with forty boards, and then kick you out of the house!"

The servant kowtowed in fear: "Of course it's a big deal, otherwise the little ones wouldn't dare to look for you everywhere like headless chickens!"

"Still talking nonsense! Hurry up!"

"It's the son of Prince Lie's mansion, the young princess, and the son of Prince Pingxi's mansion who are here. The eldest master and the third master have asked you to entertain them."

Rong Huan was taken aback, although they often play together, those two nobles don't like socializing the most, what's going on today?

The Rong mansion is full of splendor!
"How long have you been here? Where is it now?"

"Just now you and the second and third masters of Hua came here to celebrate the old lady's birthday. When the younger ones got the news, they went to find you. You had already left. I didn't find you until now. The two elder sons and The old man said something, and then he said he was going to look for you, and the younger ones went back to the Accord as a few masters, so they led the two of them there too, who knew that you were not here..."

Rong Huan had already forgotten about calligraphy and painting, he was only in a hurry to greet the distinguished guests, and ran away.

It was Huayin who swayed behind her.

Hua Erlang and Ning Banshan supported her, and Ning Banshan asked urgently, "Sanlang, what's wrong with you?"

"Dizzy," Hua Yin pinched her forehead, suddenly wanting to die.

Rong Huan disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Ning Banshan followed.

Hua Yin took Erlang's arm and said, "Second Brother, I suddenly have a terrible headache, why don't I go back first, and you can tell Daddy when you turn around."

Hua Erlang rolled her eyes, "If it wasn't for protecting you, I would have left long ago! Let's go together, let's go!"

It's just that before the two of them walked out of the gate, they were stopped by the oncoming steward of the Hou's mansion, saying that the mansion had already started to set meals, and asked the two masters to sit in the Guanglu hall.

Huayin said that he wanted to leave, but the enthusiasm of the manager refused to let him go. Hua Erlang heard that the food was ready, and when he returned home, he would eat it and leave, so he dragged Huayin He was dragged to Guanglu Hall.

We said we went to Guanglu hall for dinner, but in fact the dining tables were all set in the yard, the snow had been shoveled off long ago, the floor was covered with felts, and many charcoal stoves were burned in the corners of the yard, making it very warm.

A stage was set up in the middle of the north side of the courtyard. The people of Dazhou are fond of singing and dancing, and every wedding and funeral will invite a dance troupe to have fun. The troupe invited today is said to be well-known in the capital. Everyone can see freshness, so both male and female guests eat in the courtyard, but there is a screen of more than two meters high and more than ten openings in the middle to separate them. The corner doors of the hall come in one by one.Neither side can see each other, but if there is a big movement, they can hear each other's voices.

The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are still open, but the rules of the princes and princes are always more than ordinary people.

Everyone sat down, Hua Yin found a corner and took his second brother to sit down, Hua Erlang was also happy, saying: "It's okay if you don't know each other, we will leave after eating, there is no need to toast, save trouble."

As soon as the two of them sat down in the corner, Elder Rong respectfully invited Feng Junmo and the others into the courtyard. Forty or fifty people followed behind them. Covering his face, he could see Feng Junmo looked around the banquets from between his fingers, but he looked away because Mr. Rong was talking to him.Hua Yin saw Fu Xin holding a scroll in his hand at a glance, and at that time, he felt that he was shot in the chest and almost died immediately.
