Xun Qingran instinctively covered her nose, but she immediately felt that the action was too abrupt, so she pretended to wipe her hair and looked up at her two girls from the Zeng family opposite. Xun Qingran smiled slightly, Zeng Ning smiled back, but Zeng Jing did not respond indifferently.

Fang and Zeng’s mother talked about family matters. Only then did Xun Qingran learn that Zeng’s father was the prefect in another province, and the Zeng family also had a son, who was Grandma Fang’s younger brother, who was eighteen years old and followed Zeng’s father to serve.

After about a cup of tea, Grandma Fang came out from behind the screen. She applied makeup again on her face, and she also recovered her spirits.

"...What is the food like? It smells strangely fragrant, and it seems to be very effective." Zeng's mother asked Grandma Fang with concern.

"This thing is called Fushou Paste, we don't have it. Thanks to their intentions, I changed it from Nanyang Tao. At that time, I was not sick, so I tried to eat some and felt that it was much better, and it worked better than those of ginseng and snow lotus. Now, relying on this, I will be inseparable for a while."

"Since you eat well, you can eat more and it's cured." Zeng's mother said again.

"No matter how good the medicine is, you have to take it according to the portion size. This thing is difficult to exchange, and it is the same price as gold."

"Even if it is more expensive than gold, the Marquis can still lack this money."

Fang smiled and turned the topic to Xun Qingran and the others, just asking what they like and what they do at home.

"I have prepared some gifts for my sisters. The things are insignificant, and it is my intention." Grandma Fang gave in, and three girls each held a rectangular golden-lacquered flowerbed wood box and sent it to Xun Qingran and the others. Xun Qingran hurriedly stood up and looked at Fang. Fang gave in a little, and asked them to accept it.

"Sisters, do you like it?" said Grandma Fang.

Is it that they wanted them to take the gift on the spot? The girl holding the box handed it to Xun Qingran, and then turned her back to everyone, Xun Qingran blinked. Xun Qingran was puzzled, but she couldn't show anything on her face, so she had to take the wooden box in her hand and gently open a gap. Xun Qingran took a light breath and looked up at the girl. The girl smiled slightly at Xun Qingran and stepped back. Xun Qingran immediately closed the lid.

Xun Qingran and his wife thanked Grandma Fang again, and Grandma Fang looked as usual.

At this time, a girl came in to report that Mrs. Liu, the mansion of Yongchang, was visiting.

Grandma Fang lowered her eyelids, then looked up, looked at Grandma Xun and smiled, "Mrs. Liu is really indescribable among these relatives. She is the most diligent in visiting her. I was so sick that I couldn't get up two days ago, so I went back without seeing her. I must know that I've been better today and come again."

Grandma Xun smiled, "My mother is an enthusiastic person. She usually tells me that among the female relatives who come and go, she admires the wife's behavior the most. Don't blame her for disturbing her."

"I'm so sick. I'm afraid that people will hate me. I wish I could come with more people to talk to me." Grandma Fang said, "Please invite Mrs. Liu in."

After a while, a girl led Mrs. Liu in, followed by a young girl.

Mrs. Liu had a white face and looked like a pleasing look. She smiled three times when she didn't smile. Xun Qingran was surprised when she knew that she was Grandma Xun's biological mother. It seemed that Grandma Xun's appearance must have been with her father. The girl who came with Mrs. Liu was named Liu Lan, who was already sixteen years old. She was a girl from the third house of the Earl's Mansion and was the cousin of Xun's Grandma Liu Yan.

Mrs. Liu seemed to have come to the Marquis' Mansion often. During the greetings, she was familiar with the big girls who served Grandma Fang. She greeted Grandma Fang first and praised the girls present one by one, especially the two girls in the Zeng family, and even wanted to make a promise to find a husband-in-law in the capital for Zeng Ning and Zeng Jing.

Zeng's mother still shirked her daughter as a young woman and was reluctant to marry her early. She also looked at Liu Lan with a smile and asked Liu Lan whether she had decided.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "This child is well-educated and has a very good temperament. I am worried that she will be too soft when she marrys someone in the future. She usually admires the Marquis's wife the most, saying that she will benefit a lot from 10% of the Marquis' wife who can learn. I brought her here and hope that the Marquis' wife will teach her more."

Grandma Fang held the tea bowl in her hand, squinted her eyes, and did not answer, so someone came in and whispered a few times in her ear.

"It's the Marquis who is back!" Grandma Fang explained to everyone, and then ordered the girl who came to report the news, "Go and tell the Marquis that the lady brings her younger siblings and several sisters, my mother has just arrived, and Mrs. Liu is also here." She called another girl over, "The fifth girl from Duke Anguo's mansion is here, you bring someone to pick her up."

Xun Qingran thought to herself, I don’t know what day it is, but why everyone got together. It’s really not easy for the Marquis’s wife to receive so many visitors when she is sick.

In a short while, a girl led a girl in a 15 or 16-year-old dressed in gorgeous clothes.

"...Today I went to the temple to get incense. On the way back, the carriage suddenly broke. It was far from the Duke's Mansion, and there were few people who came out. I was worried, but when I met my cousin coming back from the court, I had to disturb my cousin's sister-in-law." The fifth girl from the Qi family said with a smile.

These people are all in-laws, so they naturally meet each other again. Xun Qingran secretly caressed her forehead. This is the trouble of the big family. There are too many relatives and they have to recognize everyone, and they cannot get the wrong generation. It is really not easy to call each other.

"Why haven't brothers and sisters come yet? Let's go and urge me." Grandma Fang said. As she said, a girl raised the curtain and reported that the Marquis had brought the young master and sisters.

Xun Qingran looked up at the door and saw Hou Fangxin, Dingyuan, walking in front with a boy in his arms, and a group of maids and servants behind him surrounded several boys and girls of varying heights.

Everyone stood up quickly. Fang Xin met Zeng's mother first, then bowed to Fang again, and finally Mrs. Liu, but they all bowed. Zeng's mother and Fang only received half a greeting, while Mrs. Liu returned the greetings.

Grandma Fang called a few children over and introduced them one by one. It turned out that these were all children of Fang Xin, Hou Dingyuan.

In the order of age, the biggest one is the eldest son of Dingyuan Hou and Grandma Fang. He is twelve years old this year. The next two boys are both ten years old, born to Fang Xin's two concubines, and then a nine-year-old girl who is also a concubine. Then there is an eight-year-old girl, born in the legitimate child, and the youngest boy is only five years old, and he is also a legitimate child. Xun Qingran secretly talks, Fang Xin is less than thirty years old, but he is already the father of six children.

All the female relatives were all female members, Fang Xin sat down for a while and went out. Zeng's mother hugged the youngest Guan brother in her arms. Mrs. Liu warmly greeted the eight-year-old Baojie'er. Baojie'er left Fang Xin and left her face, and looked at Liu, but she had no good expression. Liu Lian took out a handkerchief from Cuilan's Ten Golden Square Resort and gave it to Baojie.

"Last time, my sister said she liked this kind of veil. Your cousin didn't sleep for two consecutive nights and embroidered it for you. It's much better than what you sell outside."

Sister Bao took the veil, but didn't say anything, and threw it to the serving girl casually.

Thinking that Zeng's mother had just arrived and it was difficult for them to disturb their mother-daughter reunion, Fang got up and said he would come back another day, but Grandma Fang was kept by Grandma Fang.

"My aunt just said that the family was a family, so why did she get separated? The kitchen has already prepared wine, and I happened to have a drink with my mother in a while."

"Then I came here by chance. Who doesn't know that the wine in Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion is only a little worse than that in the palace. But I have a good time today, so I have to ask for a cup and talk to my two in-laws." Mrs. Liu did not wait for anyone to keep her, and she enthusiastically helped Grandma Fang arrange it.

Grandma Fang smiled and said that she was working hard, so she asked someone to take the girls like Xun Qingran and others to the West to sit in the West. Although the girls were of the same age, they were all the first time they met and no one spoke for a long time. In the end, Miss Qi Wu spoke first and asked about each girl’s age and family background. This made the atmosphere. Although everyone had never talked deeply, they were all in a mess, and they were just talking about the scenery in the capital, clothes and makeup.

Among the Zeng sisters, Zeng Ning loved to move and said something to everyone. Zeng Jing loved to silence, sat there without saying anything, her eyes were unfathomable. Liu Lian was gentle and kind, and a Beijing movie actually had a soft Wu language. Miss Qi Wu asked about their whereabouts, and stopped talking. She only swept her eyes around the faces of the girls, thinking about something.

Xun Qingran felt bored, so she went out with Xun Shuzhi and went to the corridor outside to scatter.

"Baoer, you were very inappropriate just now. You are eight years old and a big girl. In front of guests, you have the style of a marquis' mansion." Then someone spoke behind the flowers in the corridor. Although he was old-fashioned, his voice was tender.

"Why is it wrong? I just hate her. I pretended to please me and bullied me. I don't know what she was thinking. Everyone was embarrassed and peeked at her father. Not only her, every time they came, their mother would be sick for a long time, so she would take medicine a few more times and ignore me. I hate all of them!" The girl's voice was filled with tears.

"Sister, you eat the fruit, it was given by Aunt Liu's aunt just now." A soft and glutinous child voice said.

"And you," the girl's tone was a little disappointed.

"Oh, sister, you're bounced my head again?"

"Just just play you, you want anyone to give you something, you are not afraid of eating your stomach. Those are not good people. How many times I have told you, you are still stupid. If someone coaxes you, you will be kissing them, you are a little fool."

"You said I'm stupid again, I'm not stupid. I'll tell my dad." The soft and soft voice said, and ran towards this side. Xun Qingran hurriedly pulled Xun Shuzhi and turned back to the room.

The girls' banquet was held in the Western Conference. Bao Jie'er was sent to accompany the guests, and he seemed very enthusiastic. The meal was quite calm. Except for Liu Lian sprinkling the soup on the lapel, Miss Qi Wu lost only chopsticks while eating, which made her blush. Xun Shufang smiled bitterly and ate the peppers that Bao Jie'er had clothed into her bowl. Zeng Ning and Zeng Jing were choked and were helped out and coughed for a while. Even Xun Shulan tripped when she got up.

After noon, Xun Qingran returned to the waterside.

Kikyo took out the box that she had been holding, "I don't know what Grandma Fang gave me, so the eldest girl asked the maid, but the maid only said it was the same as the second girl." Kikyo put the box on the table.

Xun Qingran frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally walked to the table and gently opened the lid of the box. Kikyo immediately exclaimed.
