Xu Lang asked people to invite Xu Chunjun to have breakfast with her in his room, and specially prepared her favorite lily porridge and side dishes.
"I'm afraid the snow will have to melt away in the next spring. Fortunately, my uncle took the official road. I think he left before dawn?" Xu Chunjun walked in with a smile, took off the big sweater outside, and wore an apricot yellow soft satin cotton jacket.
, paired with an autumn-colored silk cotton skirt.
Her hair was only combed in a homely style, with a jade bone hairpin pinned to the back of her head.
"It was only the fourth watch when he left. He refused to eat at home and said he would wait until dawn to arrive at the inn before eating." Xu Lang mentioned that there was uncontrollable joy and contentment in her husband's eyes.
"My uncle is considerate of you and can't bear for my aunt to get up early and catch the cold." Xu Chunjun was really happy for Xu Lang. All these years of hard work were worth it. "My aunt is really lucky."
"It's God who took care of me," Xu Lang also felt that he was lucky, "It's also thanks to you."
She will never forget what Xu Chunjun did for the Xu family.
"Auntie's words are serious. As a family, we don't talk to outsiders." Xu Chunjun sat down next to Xu Lang, and the maid immediately came over to open the lid and fill the porridge.
"I gave this hairpin to you on your fifteenth birthday." Xu Lang thought of the past when he saw it. "It was originally a pair, and the other one was given to the fourth girl."
However, Xu Lang had never seen Xu Chunsu wearing it, probably because he thought the style of the hairpin was too simple.
"Auntie, have you been at home these days?" Xu Chunjun personally gave Xu Lang the chopsticks, "It's snowing so heavily, I'm afraid many people are going to have a fire banquet."
"Nowadays, I don't socialize if I can," Xu Lang said. "If I really can't push it away, I have no choice but to go."
He also said: "There are many things at home, and you can't be independent. Now that you live here, you can invite the girls who are close to you to come and sit down, even if you stay for a few days."
"Thank you, auntie. If they also have time, we will choose a day to get together." Xu Chunjun said.
After the aunt and nephew finished their breakfast, Xu Chunjun chatted with her aunt for half a day before going back to Nuange.
The days are short in winter, and it gets dark after dinner.
Xu Chunjun worked under the lamp for a while before going to bed to sleep.
The weather was very cold in the next few days, so Xu Chunjun gave up the idea of inviting Jiang Nuan and Cen Yunchu to reminisce about the past.
Two days later, the Chen family of Rongjin Marquis invited Xu Lang and Xu Chunjun to a banquet at their old residence.
Nowadays, the wife and old master of the Chen family are no longer here.
It was a family banquet for the Chen family, so Xu Lang naturally had to go.
"Sister-in-law must know that you are here to keep me company, so I specially asked you to go too, so go ahead!" Xu Lang was happy to take Xu Chunjun out.
Xu Chunjun didn't shirk and went with his aunt.
There were many guests at the banquet whom she had met before, including the fat and fat Madam Jin Yuhou.
After not seeing each other for half a year, this lady has become even more prosperous. She still remembers Xu Chunjun and held her hand and talked for a long time.
After finally finishing the socializing at Chen's house, the aunt and nephew stayed until the end before leaving.
"Thanks to you helping me hold back a few drinks later, otherwise I would have been really overwhelmed." Xu Lang's cheeks were a little red because of the wine, and his eyes were exceptionally bright, looking like a little girl.
"Mrs. Shen's family and the second wife of Ming's family are really drunk," Xu Chunjun shook his head and sighed to himself, "Thanks to Mrs. Yu's persuasion later."
"It's not too late yet," Xu Lang looked out the car window and said, "Why don't I take you somewhere."
"Where is aunt going?" Xu Chunjun couldn't help but be curious.
Xu Lang smiled inexplicably and said, "I'll take you to meet a few people."
So he told the coachman to go southwest first.
Xu Chunjun didn't ask too many questions, he would naturally know when the time comes.
After about a meal, the carriage came to a small alley.
After the carriage stopped, the maid helped Xu Lang and Xu Chunjun get out of the carriage.
Xu Chunjun saw that this was a small house. It was far less elegant than the place where Xu Lang and the others lived, but it was still much better than ordinary houses.
Xu Lang's maid came forward and knocked on the door. After a while, someone inside repeatedly promised to open the door.
The black door opened with a creak, and inside was a half-grown old woman. She was dressed in blue cloth, and her whole body was neat and tidy.
"Oh, it turns out that my wife is here! It's such a cold day, please come in quickly." The mother-in-law invited Xu Lang and others into the courtyard diligently.
Then two more little girls came out of the courtyard. When they saw Xu Lang and others, they all stood still to say hello.
Xu Chunjun saw that there were only three main rooms in the courtyard, and the rest were the wing rooms on both sides and several wing rooms to the east.
But looking at everyone's attitude towards my aunt, I knew that this place was Chen Qin's property, and it naturally came under Xu Lang's name.
The two little girls had just finished their greetings, and then three young women walked out of the main room. These three people should be no more than twenty years old, with dignified appearance and moderate stature.
The clothes he wears are much better than those of these servants, but they are not too flashy.
"I didn't know my wife was here, so please forgive me." The three of them came forward, with respectful and affectionate attitudes.
"On a whim, I just wanted to come over and see you. You don't have a coat on, so please go inside." Xu Lang said sympathetically.
I think these people came out of the house in a hurry and didn't wear cloaks. In such a cold weather, it would be freezing after a while outside.
Everyone then went into the room, and those who made tea made tea, and those who gave up their seats gave up their seats. One of them, wearing an egg-green skirt and jacket, personally brought some snacks to the table.
"Luzhi, please come and sit down, and let the little girl do her work." Xu Lang said to her with a smile.
The woman named Luzhi agreed and came over, but she didn't sit down, she just stood aside.
"This is my niece Chunjun, who I mentioned to you before." Xu Lang introduced to everyone.
"It turns out to be the fifth girl. She looks very much like my wife. It's our first time to meet each other, so please bear with me if I'm rude." The three women all bowed to Xu Chunjun.
"You three are very polite." Xu Chunjun returned the courtesy, "I don't know what to call you?"
"Luzhi's surname is Qin," Xu Lang pointed at the woman wearing a light green skirt and coat. "She is a native of the capital."
Xu Chunjun had also noticed Qin Luzhi for a long time. She was the most beautiful among the three.
"This is Su Panpan, and this is Hua Congcong." Xu Lang pointed to the other two and said.
Xu Chunjun then knew the names of these three people.
She and Xu Lang had just finished the banquet. They were not hungry at all. They just drank two cups of tea and talked about irrelevant gossip before leaving.
The people here put the two of them in the car and drove them straight to the entrance of the alley.
After the carriage had gone out for a while, Xu Langxiao asked Xu Chunjun: "What do you think of those people just now?"
"You are still considered polite, and you should not be stupid." Xu Chunjun said.
"I carefully selected these people. I originally thought I would wait until next year to take action. However, I changed my mind these days." Xu Lang said with a smile.
