Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi
Chapter 45: Big Sister and Little Niang [Thank you readers for your support! Goodbye! I want more! 】
Sheng Hong was still in the Yamen handling official business in Yangzhou and not at the house.
Sheng Wei was led by the servants of the Sheng family to the backyard.
Outside Shou'an Hall,
The boy beside him helped Sheng Wei take the cloak from his body and stood solemnly by the door.
Fang's mother at the door helped Sheng Wei open the door curtain, and a burst of hot air came out of the house.
Sheng Wei walked in.
Because it was snowing and the sky was a little dark,
The room was darker, but certainly warm.
Looking around, he saw his second aunt, Mrs. Sheng, sitting at the top of the room, looking at him with gentle eyes.
Next to the old lady was a girl in her prime. Sheng Wei knew that this was her cousin's eldest daughter Hualan.
Hualan was Sheng Hong's first child. She inherited Wang's skin color and temperament, but she also inherited Sheng Hong's advantages in appearance.
There is no shortage of color and temperament.
And with the guidance of his aunt, the only daughter of the Hou family, the little girl seemed to have the temperament of a noble lady at first glance, and she looked at Sheng Wei with a look of joy in her eyes.
My nephew Chang Bai, who is eager to learn and is not here, should be in the school.
Sheng Hong's eldest wife, Wang Shiruofu, was sitting under Mrs. Sheng. In her arms was a five or six-year-old girl, Rulan, with bright eyes.
The eyes looking at Sheng Wei were full of eagerness to try.
Rulan is still young and can't tell what the color is.
On the other hand, there is a little girl next to Hua Lan. Her eyebrows are quite bright, and her clothes and jewelry are not inferior to Hua Lan's.
Xu was still young, and there was a look of hope similar to that of Lan when he looked at Sheng Wei.
The only boy in the hall, Chang Feng, is similar to Ru Lan and has light in his eyes.
The shortest and youngest one is a girl of two or three years old.
Although the light in the room was a little dark, Sheng Wei noticed the girl at a glance because the girl's skin seemed to be a level fairer than the pampered Hua Lan.
The little girl's eyes were confused and she stood aside respectfully.
"My nephew has met his aunt and siblings."
Wang stood up slightly to return Sheng Wei's gift.
Mrs. Sheng on the side glanced at Mrs. Wang with unclear meaning.
Then starting from Hualan, several children bowed or squatted down to salute Sheng Wei.
"I've met uncle."
"Okay, good boys."
Mrs. Sheng smiled and said to Sheng Wei:
"Weige, it's been a hard journey. Sit down quickly. Suqin!"
Mother Fang served Sheng Wei a cup of hot tea from the side.
"How is your mother?"
"Back to my aunt, my mother has always been fine, but the injuries she suffered when she was young will be more uncomfortable in the winter."
"Your mother has suffered a lot and will be a little reluctant to use good things. When you return to Youyang, bring her an old ginseng back to keep her healthy."
"Yes, aunt still understands mother."
"We can't keep in touch with some old relatives until they have time to wait," Mrs. Sheng said.
"yes."
It is impossible for Sheng Wei to write to Mrs. Sheng one by one about some specific matters. This is not the way of a person who is responsible for his own affairs.
The old lady glanced at the package in front of Sheng Wei.
"Madam, Wei Ge'er has brought gifts for the children at home, and you are taking the children to see them." Mrs. Sheng ordered.
Madam Wang stood up and saluted:
"Yes, mother."
"Hua'er, you stay."
"Yes, Grandma."
Mo Lan, Chang Feng and Ru Lan, who were young, came out of Shouantang Hall happily.
I want to see what this uncle brought them.
The girl at the back walked a few steps, and then was picked up by the maid in the old lady's room and followed her.
"Weige, what a joke, my wife here also has something on her mind."
Sheng Wei bowed and said
"Nothing, nothing, the children are still young."
Although his sister-in-law came from a Qingliu family that had been established for generations, her father was still a powerful official and was worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple after his death.
But when I was a child, I was raised in the countryside for more than ten years without my parents.
He didn't learn from his parents' scheming ways, and his personality was naturally a bit upright. He fell into the trap of his cousin's concubine and lost his power as a housekeeper.
Coupled with his cousin's preference for concubines, this sister-in-law has become a joke among Yangzhou officials and nobles.
Because of the old lady, Sheng Wei has always treated the children of the Sheng family with the old lady's attitude.
A few years ago, because the old lady didn't like Lin Sushuang, Sheng Wei never prepared gifts for Lin Sushuang's two children.
Such a big lady is very happy, seeing Sheng Wei with a smile on her face.
In the past two years, Sheng Hongguan has done better and better, Mrs. Sheng gradually retreated behind the scenes, and the Sheng family has quietly completed the handover of power in the family.
It was the old lady who said something, and Sheng Wei started to prepare.
Sheng Wei and the old lady were talking, and Hua Lan on the side did not listen blankly. From time to time, he helped the house mother pour tea for Sheng Wei.
Although his eyes were not looking around, he looked thoughtful as he listened to the words of the two elders. He was absorbing the wisdom from the words of the two elders.
After talking about some business progress, Sheng Wei paused slightly.
"Auntie, this is a rare thing that the Madam of the Hou Mansion asked me to bring you."
With that said, Sheng Wei opened the thing wrapped in the animal skin.
When Hualan looked at it, he saw a fluff as white as snow, which was quite similar to the velvet of poplar trees, but much denser and whiter.
Mrs. Sheng's face was pale, showing no surprise or disgust.
"I heard from the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion that it was something obtained from the Bai family's ship. In ancient times, it was called Baidie. Sanlang of the Xu family liked it very much and planted a lot of it in the Hou Mansion."
"The Bai family? These days, the Bai family in Yangzhou has been helping your cousin a lot. Visiting the Bai family master is the key to the Sun family."
After saying that, the old lady lowered her head and took a sip of tea. There was a look in her eyes as she was thinking about something, maybe she was recalling her childhood.
"Yes, the eldest lady of the Marquis said that this white velvet has been processed to keep warm and light. My aunt is old, so she asked me to bring you ten kilograms to make a baby to keep out the cold."
"Okay, okay, it's hard to live up to this good intention. Hua'er, put it away for grandma."
Hua Lan walked to the table and picked up this fluff that she had never seen before.
Sheng Wei and the old lady talked for a while.
When Sheng Hong returned home when it was getting dark, the two cousins naturally reminisced about old times.
A few days passed.
Sheng Wei set off back to Youyang early in the morning, bringing with him the New Year's gift that Mrs. Sheng had brought for his sister-in-law.
Shengzhai side courtyard.
It's a little cold in the room,
A woman dressed as a woman is carefully embroidering a picture under the window.
There is white air around the mouth every time I take a breath.
A maid of twelve or thirteen years old stood next to her.
"My dear, your embroidery skills are really amazing. I have never seen anyone with better embroidery skills than you."
Sheng Hong’s concubine Wei Xiaoniang looked at her maid with a smile and said:
"That's because you haven't seen my mother's embroidery. When my father was studying, he relied on my mother's embroidery to support the family."
As she said that, Wei Xiaoniang smiled lightly and glanced at her daughter who was sleeping soundly on the bed. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Turning her head, Wei Xiaoniang said: "Xiaodie, go to the store and buy some expensive silk threads. I will use them in this embroidery."
"Yes, little girl."
Before leaving, Xiaodie secretly put a large piece of charcoal into the carbon basin.
Wei Xiaoniang, who was concentrating on embroidering something, didn't seem to notice.
When Xiaodie came to the door of Sheng's house, the Sheng family's carriage happened to enter, and Xiaodie stood aside respectfully.
Those who can use the carriage are the owners of this house.
Either the eldest lady Wang, or the concubine who was favored by the head of the family.
Seeing Sister Cuichan next to the carriage, Xiaodie knew that it was probably Hua Lan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, who had returned home.
I don’t know if it is a gathering of elegant ladies in Yangzhou’s fragrant clothes or a poetry gathering to appreciate the snow.
After the carriage passed, Xiaodie registered the reason for going out at the concierge, and then walked towards the shop selling silk threads.
Shou'an Hall.
Mrs. Sheng looked at Hua Lan with a smile.
"Hua'er, are you happy with this poetry gathering?"
