Jingnan Hou Mansion, like many noble families in Beijing, also has the rule that parents do not separate families.
At that time, Mrs.
Hou Fu was still alive, and the brothers of Yuan Zheng's father's generation were not separated, and they all lived in Hou Fu.
Later, they got married and had children, and the ranks of the children were mixed together, but they were divided into men and women.
The lords of the Yuan Mansion are very romantic, so the people are very prosperous, and the Yuan Zheng of their generation, both men and women, are ranked in their twenties.
For example, Yuan Hui called Yuan Zheng as the second cousin, and "Yuan Xiao"'s father as the fourth cousin, and she herself was ranked thirteen, and she was the thirteenth girl of their generation.
Now that the older generation has split up, the Yuan Zheng brothers are still a family because the old lady is still alive.
Yuan Zheng's father, Lao Houye, was also a large group of concubines, but among the brothers, he did not have the most children.
Mrs.
Yuanpei only has one son, Yuan Jing, and the old lady Xie only gave birth to one Yuan Zheng, and the rest are one son and two daughters born by the concubines.
And although the old marquis is lustful, he can be regarded as abiding by the rules, and the children born by the concubines are all younger than Yuan Zheng.
Since the family has never been separated, the children's rankings are mixed together according to the old rules.
Yuan Xiang was originally the eldest daughter of Yuan Zheng, but when she returned to the Hou Mansion, she became the third girl.
Doudou's situation is even more complicated, the people of Jingnanhou didn't know about her existence before, and they didn't count her when they were ranked.
Now she has inserted a lever horizontally, squeezing the original seven girls to the eighth, and she herself has changed from the second girl to the seventh girl.
There are not as many boys as girls in their generation in the Hou Mansion, but Yuanjing and Yuanwei are also ranked sixth or seventh because they are too young.
Although Doudou had spent a lot of time making up for these situations before, he still had a headache when he heard Yuan Xiang mention it at this time.
The seventh girl, in her ears, is not as good as the second girl, but the latter has been used to it for several years, and this Yuan Qi, isn't it just resentment She smiled and said, "It's been almost half a year since my sister returned to the capital, what do you think of here?"
Yuan Xiang moved the nest for Yuan Jing on his lap before saying: "At the beginning, I felt that I couldn't stay for a day.
My sister knows my character, and she has always liked quietness the most, but you can't find a quiet place in the capital.
Later, I gradually got used to it, and I felt that there was nothing wrong with it. ” Doudou's heart moved, and he smiled: "Could it be that my sister is so lively after she arrived in the capital?"
In fact, she just felt that Yuan Xiang was very different from what she imagined, although she could detect that her sister was much more cheerful from the letters in the past few years, but she was not as lively as Fang Cai, and the life in Gufu in the capital in the past six months had a great impact on her.
Yuan Xiang said bluntly: "It is true that a lot has changed in the past six months since I arrived in the capital. ” Doudou raised his eyebrows slightly, there is really something inside to hear the meaning of this, who has such a great ability to have such a big impact on my sister in a short period of time Yuan Xiang smiled slightly: "I think you also know that in our lifetime, my grandfather's family only has a girl from Changhuan's cousin, and I thought she must be better than my mother but I didn't expect her to be like that." ” As her own daughter, she naturally doesn't want to talk about her mother's rights and wrongs behind her back, but Gu Chao's arrogant eldest lady's temper is indeed enough to give people a headache.
The affairs of these relatives in the capital have been mastered by Doudou Raid recently, and she has naturally heard of Gu Changhuan.
When Gu Yunnian, the head of the court, was also a suave and talented man when he was young, but at the same time he was a very calm-headed person who paid great attention to the rules.
There are many beautiful concubines in the house, but he never lets any woman other than his wife get pregnant, so the four brothers and sisters of the Gu Dynasty are all from Gu's old lady Su.
Before the two sisters Gu Chao and Gu Xi, Gu Yunnian already had two sons-in-law, the eldest son Gu Yong married his wife Xing, and the two sons under his knees, Gu Changan and Gu Changning.
The second son Gu Qi married his wife Shen, and his two sons Gu Changping and Gu Changtai under his knees, as well as the only girl in this generation, and Gu Changhuan, who is also the youngest.
What is rare is that the two brothers, Gu Yong and Gu Qi, also follow their father's rules, and there are not many concubines, but the five children are all concubines.
In this way, it is conceivable how favored Gu Changhuan is in the mansion.
Thinking about his mother Gu Chao, Doudou was not very optimistic about Gu Changhuan before, and his aunt and niece have the same bloodline, and they have the same growth environment, so how can they get better.
But listening to my sister's tone at this time, it seems that Gu Changhuan can still be befriended Doudou just wanted to say a few words, but the carriage suddenly slowed down, she lifted the corner of the curtain slightly and looked out, it turned out that they had arrived outside the south city gate, and had to slow down and slowly enter the city.
Yuan Xiang said: "This is just an outer city, far from the Hou Mansion, the capital is much more prosperous than we imagined." ” Doudou put down the curtain of the car, felt a little bored, and said in a muffled voice: "Actually, it's not all the same everywhere, girls can only be locked up at home all day, the sky is always a small square piece, no matter how big and prosperous the place is, what does it have to do with us." ” It turned out that Yuan'er, who was always full of vitality in her mind, also had such a listless time, Yuan Xiang couldn't help but giggle.
Doudou looked at her sister who was laughing with annoyance, and pouted angrily: "What's funny, am I wrong?"
Even the two little brothers of Yuanjing and Yuanwei looked at Yuan Xiang with two pairs of big round eyes, as if they also wanted to know what this big sister who had just met was laughing at.
Yuan Xiang easily regained his composure, pinched Yuan Jing's little fat face and said: "When I first entered Beijing, I had the same idea as you, I always felt that since the capital was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the rules must be much stricter than that of Hangzhou Mansion, and I was very nervous when I thought that I was going to live in the mansion of the head of the dynasty." ” Seeing that Doudou listened carefully and didn't plan to answer, she said again: "You must know that I used to be at home, because of my poor health, my mother didn't let Mama Jin force me to learn the rules, and later went to Gongsun's house, not to mention."
At this point, her jade-white little face was almost imperceptibly flushed.
Doudou's observation is very keen, and when he sees this situation, he instantly understands it.
She really didn't read it wrong, there was really a relationship between the sao bao man and her sister.
Yuan Xiang didn't think that his sister had already gained insight into her thoughts, and quickly covered up the embarrassment on his face, and continued: "When I really arrived at the Gu Mansion, I realized that I was really thinking too much, and the lives of the nobles in the capital were actually far more comfortable than we imagined. ” As soon as Doudou heard this, her beautiful eyes instantly brightened, and her mood suddenly brightened, she was Yuan Er, now she is Yuan Qi, isn't she at ease in this life t1706231537:
