    The house in Wutou Lane is the ancestral home of the Cheng family.

    The Cheng family, unlike the Mu family, came from a rough background. They were the hereditary nobles of Great China.  My ancestor was a duke who was personally granted the title of Duke by the great ancestor. Later, he was deprived of his title and property because he was on the wrong side in the fight for the right to inherit the throne. It was not until the former Marquis Weiyuan joined the army and made military exploits with Mu Tianhe that the late emperor personally granted him the title of marquis.  , the ancestral home was returned.

    Because the Cheng family¡¯s ancestral home is an old house, the layout is very regular, unlike the Mu Mansion with gardens within gardens.

    The three Mu Xiuyuan brothers walked through the middle gate to pay homage to Marquis Weiyuan.  Three cars stopped at the second gate. Huaxi and others got out of the car and changed into a soft blue cloth sedan.

    In winter, the sedan curtains were closed, and the stove under the seats was extremely hot. In the small space, Huaxi¡¯s face was so hot.  Huaxi's face was still red until she entered the inner courtyard and got off the sedan.  When I turned around and looked at the other people, most of them were similar to me.

    After entering the door and passing through the hall, the maid who led the way led the five people to the Nuan Pavilion at the back.

    ????????????????????????????????????? Off out the door, the hot air from the warm pavilion hits your face, exuding a sweet fragrance, making you drunk.

    It is the fragrance of apricot.  Huaxi's nose was very sensitive. As soon as she entered the room, she smelled the aroma coming from the furnace. She frowned and then hid the different emotions in her eyes.

    "After waiting for a long time, you are here." Mu Xiangqing got off the kang and greeted him.  Today she wore a dark green home-made coat with white plum piping, and a white silk tapered squirrel-lined brown skirt. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with a circle of dark green branches, which made her more delicate and elegant.

    "Aunt, be well!" Hua Xi and others bowed to Mu Xiangqing one after another.

    "It's cold outside, please go sit on the kang." Mu Xiangqing pulled Yunyi, who was walking in front, to sit on the kang.

    There is a red sandalwood marble screen on one side of the heated kang, and on the other side there are two rows of books on the small kitchen, and a blue and white tea set is placed on the kang table in the middle.

    The kang is not big, so it seems a bit crowded for five or six people.  Yun Lin and Yun Ning sat on the edge of the kang without getting up. Huaxi whispered a few words to the maid, and the maid moved two sticks and placed them on the edge of the kang. Huaxi pulled Yunxin and sat down.

    Mu Xiangqing smiled at Huaxi and ordered the maids to serve hot tea and snacks.

    "Aunt, what kind of food is this? This is the first time Yun Ning has seen it." Mu Yun Ning pointed to the plate of golden fruit balls brought by the maid and asked Mu Xiangqing curiously.

    "This is a tribute brought from the Nanyang Islands. It seems to be called Wanshou Fruit. Five baskets were sent to the palace and one basket was left in the palace." Mu Xiangqing explained to Yun Ning with a smile, pierced one with a skewer and handed it to  Yun Ning, "This has been peeled. There is a hard core in the center of the fruit. I asked the maids to chop the flesh into small balls. Come on, try it. It tastes good."

    A small table was set up between Huaxi and Yunxin and a plate was served.  Hua Xi glanced sideways, hey, this thing seems to be He pricked one with a skewer and put it in his mouth. He guessed it right, it was a mango.

    The last time I ate mangoes was more than ten years ago. I didn¡¯t expect to see them again today. Huaxi, who has long been accustomed to living here, couldn¡¯t tell whether she felt happy or sour.

    Yun Ning took a bite of the mango ball and nodded in admiration: "Well, it's so sweet. It tastes really different from the ordinary fruits in Beijing. There are so many good things at my aunt's house."

    Mu Xiangqing touched Yun Ning's head and said with a smile: "Haha, Yun Ning likes it, take some back when you go home."

    "Thank you, aunt."

    Yun Ning smiled sweeter and sweeter.  Yun Lin narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Yun Ning, who had been grabbing the limelight since she arrived. She didn't look very pretty, but she suppressed herself from having an attack.

    Yunyi didn¡¯t see Cheng Xiaolin and asked, ¡°Aunt, where is my little cousin?¡±

    "In the West Room, the wet nurse is taking her with me. You guys are lucky, he just fell asleep and I was free. Otherwise, if the little ancestor wakes up, he will make a big fuss, and I will not be able to calm down for a moment." Speaking of his son, Mu Xiang  Qing's face was filled with a gentle smile.

    "Oh, are you asleep? I just wanted to see my little cousin."

    Yun Ning's eyes were filled with regret, and Mu Xiangqing patted her hand, "Don't worry, you have to stay here all day. When he wakes up, you will be annoyed a lot, haha!"

    Yun Ning acted coquettishly and said how could she, it was too late for her to like her little cousin.  The playful words made Mu Xiangqing laugh heartily.

    Mu Yunlin lowered her head and sneered, but she never quarreled with Yun Ning from beginning to end. In addition to chatting and joking with Mu Xiangqing, she would occasionally cater to Yun Yi and Yun Ning. Even Hua Xi on the side felt confused, thinking about this  The eldest lady has calmed down today. Are you planning to trouble Mu Yunning later?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside the courtyard, we heard that a visitor was coming.

      The woman was about forty years old, with a beautiful appearance, her hair was combed into a flying phoenix bun, she was wearing a sapphire blue gown with mink fur trim and embroidered with pomegranate flowers, and a dark brown pleated skirt.  The two girls following behind are about twelve or thirteen years old. One is wearing a peach-pink silver peony jacket, a white floral skirt, a small face with melon seeds, and pretty eyebrows; the other is wearing a lotus flower pattern.  The coat, the lower body is a large skirt of the same color, the same oval face, a pair of phoenix eyes with hanging tips, which has a bit of charm.

    "Come, eldest sister, these are some nieces from my family. Come and present to Mrs. An Yongbo." Mu Xiangqing introduced the middle-aged woman to Huaxi and others.

    Mrs. Cheng of An Yongbo is the concubine of Weiyuan Hou Cheng Chong and the step-in-law of the current An Yongbo Zong Zhengxing.

    When Huaxi and others heard this, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.

    "Oh, please get up quickly. Let's take a look, isn't this Yunyi? And Yunlin we haven't seen each other for a few years, and we are getting better and better. My siblings have good feng shui at home, and they raise all the people they have.  The water spirit."

    The Cheng family knew Yun Yi and Yun Lin, and one of them was Mu Xiangqing's niece, and the other was the daughter of the current Marquis of Zhenyuan, so naturally they praised them more.  He turned around and asked about the three people in Huaxi, and Mu Xiangqing introduced them one by one.  When talking about Huaxi, Mu Xiangqing only mentioned the daughter of a distant relative. After the death of a family member, the old lady wanted to take her home and raise her because of the old friendship.

    Mrs. Cheng looked at Huaxi's beautiful face and alien blood. She knew there was something wrong, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just smiled and passed them by. Then she took two gold hairpins from her head and gave them to Yunyi and Yunlin, and took them off.  The two bracelets on their wrists were given to Yun Xin and Yun Ning respectively, and Hua Xi was given a purse.  Hua Xi reached out to take it and pinched it gently, guessing it was something like a gold or silver needle.

    Mu Xiangqing introduced the two girls who came with the Cheng family to the Mu sisters. The one wearing a peach-pink coat was Zong Wanlan, the direct daughter of the Cheng family, and the one wearing a lotus-colored dress was Zong Youlan, the concubine of Marquis An Yong.  Ren is the same age as Yuning, thirteen this year, and Wanlan is half a year older than Youlan.

    The daughters of several juniors greeted each other and were considered acquainted.

    There are no concubines in Weiyuan Hou's family, and his only descendants are the two sons of Mu Xiangqing, Cheng Xiaoxuan and Cheng Xiaolin.

    Mrs. Cheng took Mu Xiangqing to talk elsewhere, leaving Wanlan and Youlan to play with the Mu sisters.
