Chapter 244
Xuan'er heard the sound of the snow ball, turned her head towards the window, and screamed excitedly.
"It seems that Jun Hui has arrived." Qi You said.
Xuetuan put away his wings, came in through the window, and jumped to Xun Qingran. Xun Qingran stroked the snow ball's smooth feathers. Now Xuetuan is already an adult, no longer as furry and cute as she was when she was a child, but she is very majestic.
Xuan'er kept shouting at Xue Tuan. Qi You hugged Xuan'er, held her little hand, and touched Xue Tuan. Xue Tuan rubbed her head with her head with great confidence. Xuan'er's big eyes were curved into two crescent moons.
After about a cup of tea, someone from outside reported that Xun Junhui had entered the city.
Xun Qingran asked the nurse to carry Xuan'er down, and changed her clothes with Qi You. Qi You ordered to open the door and prepare to greet him, so he picked him up in person. Xun Qingran then took the people to the second door to wait.
"The third master and the second master of the Zheng family also came with the uncle. The fourth master has already picked up someone to talk to the main hall. The fourth master said that he would let the uncle come over in a while and let grandma go back to the house to wait." Baozhu ran over from the front yard and reported to Xun Qingran.
"Oh?" Xun Qingran couldn't help but be surprised. Master Qi was coming, she knew that, but Zheng Yuanlang actually came together, but she didn't know in advance.
"Take someone to clean up another yard and come out for the second master of the Zheng family." Xun Qingran turned around and ordered Kikyo.
Kikyo agreed and hurriedly took the two little girls to make arrangements.
Xun Qingran still stood at the door, looking in the direction of the front yard, completely ignoring the words Qi You asked her to go back to the house and wait.
"Sister." Hearing a burst of rapid footsteps, Xun Junhui walked quickly through the hall from the front, and saw Xun Qingran from afar, and even faster.
"Jun Hui." Xun Qingran hurriedly welcomed him.
When Xun Junhui arrived in front of Xun Qingran, he was about to salute, but Xun Qingran held him in a hand.
“Grow taller.”
"Sister, too."
After not seeing him for more than a year, Xun Junhui rose one head higher. In the past, the siblings were about the same, but now Xun Junhui is obviously much taller.
"I just met my brother-in-law, I compared it. I drank my brother-in-law almost the same height." Xun Junhui smiled.
The siblings held hands, spoke while sitting in the upper room.
"Mr. Qi and I have all the way, as well as Brother Zheng, who are talking to my brother-in-law in the front hall." Xun Junhui said, "Mr. I know that my sister is looking forward to me, so I only said a few words, so I will come to see my sister first."
"Why are Brother Zheng coming? You don't write to me?"
"When I came out of the capital and arrived in Longxi, I happened to meet Brother Zheng. He knew that his sister had given birth to a daughter, so he followed him to visit him." Xun Junhui explained.
So that's the case.
Although the letters were constantly exchanged, the siblings and brothers had a lot to say. The most common thing they said was naturally Xun Junhui's own business. Xun Junhui answered all the errands in the Hanlin Academy, saying that it was quite smooth. Xun Qingran felt relieved when she saw her younger brother's face was rosy and his breath was comfortable.
Speaking of other people.
"My father is in good health, and his elder brother, sister-in-law and nieces are all well. Aunt Xin's daughter is already able to speak. Jun Xi went to Jiangyin, and we kept communicating, seeing that he is doing well as a fish in water as an official."
"Mrs. My wife and the fourth sister are still the same. My wife, who is worried, always asks her father and elder brother to find someone for the fourth sister. My father and elder brother both said that she is willing to raise the fourth sister for the rest of her life, but she will not let her go out." Speaking of this, Xun Junhui paused, "Sister also knows why."
Xun Qingran nodded, she naturally knew why.
"Isn't the emperor's family so easy to offend?" Xun Qingran sighed when she thought of Zheng Hao'er who was in the same situation as Xun Shulan.
The women who were candidates for entering the palace were all registered in the booklet. Under normal circumstances, after screening, the palace left a sign to point out the marriage, while the others left a sign and let them marry. Although Xun Shulan and Zheng Haoer took off their errands and followed the princess and fan, they were kicked out by the palace. Their names were still on the booklet, and they did not leave a sign or a sign. In other words, the palace would not arrange marriages for them, and they themselves did not have the right to get married.
Everyone was very clear about this matter, but no one said it. Master Xun and Master Xun naturally understood it, so they would not find someone for Xun Shulan. Fang should also understand this truth...
"Brother, sister-in-law finally got a son, everything is OK?"
"It is not convenient to tell my sister in the letter," Xun Junhui whispered in Xun Qingran's ear when he saw that there was no one in the house, "Sister-in-law has a certain origin..., the aunt Lian had a childbirth at the same time as her sister-in-law, but died of dying. The body was carried out overnight and I don't know where it was buried. The sister-in-law gave birth that night. There are rumors in the house that my sister-in-law was not pregnant at all, and the child was born by Aunt Lian."
"That's the case!" Xun Qingran said in shock, then calmed down, "Thinking about it now, it was really time for my sister-in-law to be pregnant."
"You know that if you are not in the mansion, then this matter..." Isn't it a turmoil all over the city?
"I have my own people in the mansion. Before my sister-in-law could finish her confinement, the servants in the mansion had changed a lot." Xun Junhui said.
This means that there is a problem.
Aster came in from outside, brought a plate of ham crisps and brought it up.
"Try this ham crisp, it's not bad." Xun Qingran handed the ham crisp to Xun Junhui.
Xun Junhui tasted it and nodded, "It's still hot, delicious."
"I specially asked them to watch Shichen make it. I know that you like to eat such crispy, salty and sweet." Xun Qingran smiled. She specially asked for a prescription from Mrs. Dong and let the kitchen learn it.
"It's still my sister who feels sorry for me." Xun Junhui asked after eating a piece of ham crisp, "Sister, my niece."
Before Xun Qingran could speak, a little girl came to report the news.
"Grandma, the Fourth Master sent someone to send a message saying that he wanted to bring the Third Master and Zheng Erye over."
The third master of the Qi family and Zheng Yuanlang are all their own family members, and they are here to congratulate Xuan Jie'er for a hundred days, so they naturally want to invite them in to meet.
Xun Junhui stood up, "Sister, my clothes are a little dirty. I'll change my clothes first and then come to see Xuan'er."
"Okay, you go and wash first." Xun Qingran said, and hurriedly sent Baozhu to take Xun Junhui to the living room. "If you have any trouble, just tell the servants that this place is the same as at home."
"I know."
…………
"The fourth brother's mansion is really grand. I thought that this place in Pingxi Town is not too desolate. Now when I see it, the rumors are misleading." Qi Sanye and Qi You entered the courtyard gate. Behind were Xun Junhui and Zheng Yuanlang.
Xun Qingran had already brought people to welcome him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Third brother."
"Sister-in-law, please give up the gift." Master Qi San gave in.
"Fourth cousin's wife." Zheng Yuanlang came forward and bowed to Xun Qingran and said.
This is called according to Qi You's ranking.
Xun Qingran returned a blessing gift.
Everyone entered the house and sat down with guests. The little girls entered one after another, and placed fragrant tea and various fruits and snacks like flowing water.
It is necessary to be polite and talk about the family matters.
"The old lady is thinking about you every day and send me a special message." Mr. Qi San said, and said he wanted to meet Xuan'er.
After a while, the wet nurse brought Xuan'er.
"What a beautiful baby, she looks like the fourth brother, haha." Master Qi San smiled and ordered someone to give Xuan'er a hundred-day gift, including the golden lock, collar, and some small things given by Rong's family. There are gifts for each room of Qi'er.
Zheng Yuanlang also gave him a set of long-lived locks and a golden collar. He took out a jade pendant from his arms.
"What I found in Longxi is said to be ancient jade, and it is a kind of nourishing body."
"This is exchanged from Westerners. Please take it to Sister Xuan to play with."
Next is Xun Junhui, Master Xun, Grandma Xun, Aunt Xin, and Xun Junhui each have their own set of long-lived locks, gold collars, and bracelets. Xun Junhui also has some exquisite small clothes and shoes made by him, saying that they were made by the girls of Kapok.
"There is one more thing." Finally, Xun Junhui took out something like a magic trick. It was a metal box with a Western beauty in a dress on it. As long as he twisted the clockwork, a pleasant music sound came from the box, and the Western beauty danced with the music.
Sister Xuan was obviously more interested in this music box than those golden and jade things, and she stretched out her little hand and screamed.
When Xun Junhui saw that Xuan'er liked her gift, he couldn't help but be happy.
"...The wine and food in front are ready." Aster came in from outside to report.
Qi You stood up and gave Qi Sanye, Zheng Yuanlang and Xun Junhui to the front living room, and called Tang Younian to be a guest.
Xun Qingran used the meal himself and sent someone to see it twice, saying that several people were still drinking and talking. Until the lights were at the time, Xuan'er slept for a while, woke up and ate milk, and was carried by her nurse again.
Xun Qingran sat on the couch, hugging Xuan'er, and playing with the dancing music box.
"Fourth Master, uncle is here." The little girl outside raised the curtain.
Qi You and Xun Junhui came in from outside one after another.
Xun Junhui sat next to Xun Qingran and grabbed Xuan'er's little hand.
"The eyes and mouth are like sisters, and the nose is like brother-in-law." Xun Junhui said, staring at Xuan'er for a while.
Xun Qingran looked at it and felt that what his brother said made sense.
"Sister, can I hug Xuan'er?" Xun Junhui raised his head and asked.
"Why can't it?" Xun Qingran said, and taught Xun Junhui how to hold a child.
"She is still young and has a very soft bone. She has to hold it here, just hold it like this." After Xun Qingran finished the demonstration, she handed Xuan'er to Xun Junhui's arms.
Xun Junhui hugged Xuan'er, "I'm an uncle." Then he put Xuan'er's little hand to his mouth and kissed him a few times. Xuan'er felt itchy and giggled.
Qi You had already changed his clothes and saw Xun Junhui holding Xuan'er and sitting on the couch.
"I made you a pair of shoes, but I don't know if it's suitable." My younger brother grew taller, and his feet must have grown bigger. Xun Qingran got off the couch and went to the next door to get the shoes.
Perhaps because Xun Junhui and Xun Qingran were somewhat similar, Xuan'er did not recognize her life in his arms, and was fascinated by the music box, and the uncle and nephew were happy.
Qi You brought the teacup and watched.
"Brother-in-law, Xuan'er likes me very much." Xun Junhui said.
Qi You said kindly with a faint voice.
Xuan'er was playing, and her mouth was full of sound, as if she was trying hard.
Qi You saw it in his eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly.
