There was a flower wall in front of the place where Xun Qingran and Qi Wanli stood, and there was a small path leading directly to the garden door. The shouting was a big girl wearing a green shirt and skirt, trotting all the way, chasing the tall man in front of her.

"What are the fourth brother going to do? Why are you so busy like this? Citron keeps chasing him." Qi Wanli said in surprise.

Xun Qingran also saw clearly that the man walking ahead was Qi You. Qi You looked a little gloomy and walked straight out of the garden. Only through a flower wall, he didn't seem to see Qi Wanli and Xun Qingran walking straight out of the garden. He didn't seem to hear the shouts of the woman behind him, and he kept not stopping at all. Others were tall and long legs, and they didn't see many pieces of walking, but in the blink of an eye, he left the garden gate. The girl named Citron behind him was so painful that she ran away with sweat, but she still couldn't chase anyone.

"The Fourth Master has something to do when he goes to Prince Kang's Mansion. Sister Citron, you can't catch up with me. What does Sister Citron say or something? I'll take it to my sister later."

Citron chased after the park gate and was stopped by a neatly dressed servant.

"Oh, it's Scutellaria baicalensis." Citron also recognized the servant, "The Fourth Master forgot to bring his purse when he was changing his clothes. I was afraid that the Fourth Master would use it outside, so I was in a hurry to send it here." Citron took out a purse.

"Oh, then leave it to me." Scutellaria baicalensis took the purse.

"You remember to leave it to the Fourth Master. Don't forget to instruct the Fourth Master to drink less and come back early..."

Scutellaria baicalensis took the purse, turned around and left. Citron was still worried and kept asking behind Scutellaria baicalensis. When Scutellaria left, Citron slowly walked back, and then she saw Qi Wanli and Xun Qingran.

"I have met Miss Six and Miss Xun San." Citron bent her knees and blessed her blessings.

Xun Qingran took the opportunity to look at Citron. She was fifteen or sixteen years old, with an oval face, apricot-eyed and cherry lips. She was a signature girl. Xun Qingran knew that a wealthy family like the Qi family would at least choose a neat face. The girls around the Qi family, whether they were dressed or behaved, were more decent than the masters of the small family. Citron was the big girl around Qi You, and this look was also among the girls in the Qi family.

"What is the fourth brother doing? Why are you so anxious?" Qi Wanli asked Citron.

"I don't know either." Citron smiled, "The fourth master just came back from outside and was called to the front study by the master. The fourth master went back to the house to change his clothes, and then went out in a hurry."

"It seems that the master has something to ask the fourth brother to do it, so he is so anxious."

"Madam Song also told me about other things, and the maid will take it back first." Citron said goodbye to Qi Wanli and Xun Qingran, and then turned around and left.

Just now, Qi You obviously had a bad face. Since this girl was serving her closely, she had no reason to be unaware of it, but she did not show any slightest expression.

"Fourth cousin is a good girl, who is Madam Song?"

"Of course it's not bad. Citron was originally a person around the old lady, and later gave it to the fourth brother. Madam Song is the wet nurse of the fourth brother. Madam Song is the matter in the fourth brother's yard."

Xun Qingran said oh, and stopped asking.

――――――――――

In Mrs. Qi Er's house, a little girl was standing in front of Mrs. Qi Er and whispered to Mrs. Qi Er.

"Just just now, the master and the fourth master were talking in the study room, but they didn't have someone to serve him. The maid didn't know what he said. But it was fine at the beginning, and he didn't know what the master said. The maid heard the fourth master say, "I agree to this condition." Finally, the fourth master said that he was just settled and told the master not to regret it at that time... The fourth master looked bad when he came out, so he hurried to change his clothes and went out. He heard that he was going to drink with Prince Kang. The maid went into the study to pour tea for the master. Seeing the master sitting there, he seemed to be worried, but he was happy after a while, and then he went to talk to the old lady."

"Okay, you go down. Wait, remember to ask your mother to come to Manager Fang and get the silver rice for half a year for your little brother. When he is old next year, he will ask him to come in and serve as a job."

The little girl kowtowed and left happily.

"But what's wrong with Brother You carrying you?" Fang asked at this time, sitting next to Mrs. Qi Er.

Mrs. Qi Er thought for a while, "It should be nothing. I think, for the sake of Concubine Xian, there are a lot of things in the family these days. Maybe the master asked him to do something, and he was a little unwilling to do. You don't know, his temperament... but only he can do some things well. Sometimes the master and I can't do anything to him. Alas, it's all the old lady who spoiled it."

"Brother You still has a good relationship with Prince Kang?" Fang didn't care about Mrs. Qi's second wife's complaints.

"Well, he was an imperial guard and often walked around the palace and made friends with a group of young children. Many of them were of the same age and had no superiors and inferiors. The master did not like these, but the old lady spoiled him and said that his temper was very similar to the old man. He did not cause trouble for his family, so it would be fine if the master."

"This Prince Kang is not old, have you ever married a princess?" Fang asked.

Mrs. Qi looked at Fang and smiled, "Prince Kang married the princess, and there were two concubines. But my sister rested assured. In recent years, the first emperor passed away, and then the emperor ascended the throne, and the empress died. The emperor was busy with government affairs, and many young royal children did not point to marriage, including several young princes, princes, such as the prince of Yongning..."

Mrs. Qi Er counted with her fingers and said, "Who do you like about me? Let me tell me first. I can also tell you about Concubine Xian earlier. I don't know how many people are thinking about such a good thing. Let's settle it earlier so that others will not be snatched away first."

"I met the prince of Yong'an County in the Marquis' Mansion that day, and he was very good. But I heard that the princess of Yong'an County is strict and difficult to get along with. It's better for the eldest sister and the queen to decide. It's better to be the prince who has not married. I am just Shulan. Although she has learned the rules and etiquette very well, she is still a little reluctant to let go. If she marry the prince, she will become the princess as soon as she enters the door and is in charge of the family, that would be the best."

"Sister, you really love your daughter, don't worry, I've recorded it. I think we three sisters, I was all my grandparents at that time, and when you were, my mother took you to see you in advance. When you were third sister, it was all my mother who asked her to choose according to her own wishes. If you want to talk about this post-marriage life,..., the third sister will live the most comfortable life, but unfortunately, the third brother-in-law has a short life. By the way, when will the third sister arrive tomorrow?"

"Brother Shuo sent a message back. He went to Tongzhou today and would be able to enter Beijing in about afternoon tomorrow."

"After decades, we three sisters can finally get together again."

―――――――――――――――――――

On July 16th, Aunt Zheng finally arrived in the capital with her daughter and niece. Naturally, she was taken to Duke Anguo's Mansion first, and then went to Xun's house to meet Fang the next day.

After hearing the news outside that Aunt Zheng's car had reached the door, Fang was ready and immediately led everyone to the second door.

Aunt Zheng is a few years younger than Fang and is well maintained. People in their forties still have beautiful hair. Except for a few wrinkles on their eyes when they smile, their skin on their faces is smooth and delicate, and they look really young.

Aunt Zheng is carrying two girls behind him. She is fourteen or fifteen years old. She has a small melon-shaped face with fair and moist skin, a straight nose, a delicate eyes and a delicate eyebrows, and her whole body is filled with the tenderness of a Jiangnan woman. She is Aunt Zheng's daughter, named Zheng Haoer. The other girl is only thirteen years old. She is about the same size as Zheng Haoer, but she has a long face, curved eyebrows, and a pair of big eyes. She is very lively, flickering and speaking. She is Aunt Zheng's niece, Zheng Yuanlang's legitimate sister Zheng Shuer.

Fang took Aunt Zheng's hand, and everyone followed behind and entered the main room where Si'anju. Fang and Aunt Zheng sat opposite each other on the couch, Zheng Haoer and Zheng Shuer were sitting on the chair on the left, and Xun Qingran and four sisters sat on the right seat. Grandma Xun stood underground, calling people to send tea and fruits. Not only did she pour tea himself, but she also peeled the fruits to Aunt Zheng himself.

"I saw this child once when I got married, and now he is getting more and more neat and capable." Aunt Zheng praised.

Fang glanced at Grandma Xun, curled her lips, and said nothing.

"...We sisters haven't seen each other for many years. Why don't you stay here for a few more days so that we can talk well."

"I thought so too, but yesterday I arrived at Duke Anguo's mansion. The old lady knew that my house had not been cleaned up and insisted that I stay. She just assigned Xiangluoyuan to me and your two nieces. The yard was next to their garden, with a separate door leading to the street outside, and it was very convenient to live, so I agreed."

Xun Qingran laughed and listened to Fang and Aunt Zheng talking, and felt that Zheng Haoer and Zheng Shuer's two pairs of eyes were always spinning on her. Zheng Haoer was not very obvious, but Zheng Shuer did not hide it at all. Xun Qingran deliberately turned her head and faced Zheng Shuer's big eyes. Zheng Shuer blinked and smiled at Xun Qingran, full of sincerity, and Xun Qingran also smiled.

As Aunt Zheng spoke, she asked someone to send three narrow brocade boxes. When she opened it, she was filled with a box of various things, including Wuxi clay people, Suzhou embroidered handkerchiefs, Hangzhou silk fan, silver-inlaid glass target lenses and Western soap.

"This is some local products from Jiangnan, and the Western things that our shops have entered. They were chosen by your two sisters themselves. They are regarded as gifts for you by your aunt. Don't be too thin." Aunt Zheng said with a smile.

Xun Qingran and his friends hurriedly stepped forward to thank Aunt Zheng.

Aunt Zheng smiled and looked at Xun Shufang, Xun Shuzhi, Xun Qingran and Xun Shulan, then grabbed Xun Qingran's hand and pulled her to sit beside her.

"This is the girl who is a beauty. She is a bit more beautiful than the person in the painting."

While praising him, Aunt Zheng looked Xun Qingran carefully from top to bottom and nodded repeatedly.

"We older people are afraid that you will get annoyed when they speak. You sisters, let's have fun together." Aunt Zheng said.

Seeing that Aunt Zheng seemed to have something to say, Fang sent Grandma Xun and the people who served in the house out.

Aunt Zheng then spoke to Fang with a smile.
