Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 748: ：Xie Mansion
The population of Xie Mansion is larger than that of Yu Mansion, but the relationship is much simpler than that of Yu Mansion.
My great-great-grandfather, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, three uncles, three aunts, and five cousins are all from the same family and are very close to each other.
Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Get off the boat quickly, so as not to keep my uncle and four cousins waiting for a long time."
There were many people on the pier, and Yin Huaixi opened the way in front. Several maids and women crowded around Yu Youyao, to prevent the crowd from bumping into her.
After walking for a while, I saw a carriage with the emblem of Xie Mansion parked in an open area.
Yu Youyao saw someone waving to her, followed by her uncle, and led four young men to greet them excitedly.
Everyone in the Xie Mansion is good-looking. My eldest uncle Xie Xun is in his forties, has a beautiful beard, and has an elegant and handsome temperament. My third cousin Xie Jingliu's appearance is just like that of my eldest uncle.
Yu Youyao quickly stepped forward and gave her uncle a family gift: "Hello, uncle!"
Xie Xun has not seen Yu Youyao for four or five years. The pink and tender glutinous rice dumplings in the past have grown into a slender girl, resembling her little sister, and she feels sour and happy at the same time.
He stretched out his hand, patted his niece's small shoulder lightly, and nodded: "We are all members of our own family, so we cannot use these etiquette." After speaking, he pointed to his cousin who was standing a step behind: "A few cousins Brother, you have never seen it before..."
My eldest uncle Xie Xun has two sons, the eldest cousin Xingzhou and the third cousin Jingliu. The eldest cousin is in his mid-twenties. He is already married and has a little nephew who is four years old this year.
Second uncle Xie Liao has a son, second cousin Xie Linyuan, who is twenty-three years old this year. He has just gotten married and has no children yet.
The third uncle Xie Tuo also has two sons, the fourth cousin Xie Yanqing and the fifth cousin Xie Yunze. The fourth cousin and the third cousin are both in their prime, and the fifth cousin is just eighteen this year.
Yu Youyao saluted and said hello one by one.
Several cousins also returned the greetings one by one and said hello.
Xie Yunze is the youngest and has a wild temper. He tried to get close to and talk to his petite and cute little cousin several times, but Xie Xingzhou stopped him.
After the ceremony was finished, the eldest cousin Xie Xingzhou touched Yu Youyao's head: "The dock is not the place to talk. Xiao Yao'er has been on the boat for more than half a month. It's hard work, so he went back to his hometown to settle down."
Fourth cousin Xie Qingyan gave Xie Yunze a tug and quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, great-grandfather, grandfather, grandmother, and aunts are all waiting for Xiao Yao'er at home."
The pier was very noisy with a mixture of fish and dragons, and it was not easy to stay there for a long time.
Second cousin Xie Linyuan said warmly: "Great-grandfather, grandfather and grandmother, they have been talking about you for a while and hope that you will come here soon. Grandma heard that the boat you were on entered the harbor, so she shouted to come and pick you up. It was only after some effort that I managed to persuade them to stop. Aunt Xu, who is in front of you, took Xia Tao, who was seasick, back to the house to settle down first. The rest of the servants and luggage will be sent back to the house together with the loaded carriage."
Yu Youyao nodded: "Then let's go back home first. We haven't seen each other for so long. I also think that my great-grandfather, maternal grandfather, grandmother, and several aunts have never met before."
Her eyes were shining, and her tone was full of joy and expectation.
Every time a merchant ship from the Xie family came to Beijing, several aunts would prepare gifts for her.
She will also carefully prepare gifts in return. Although she has never gotten along with each other before, or even met him in person, after a long time of exchange of gifts, she can more or less tell the good news.
Xie Xun stayed on the dock.
On the way back to Xie's Mansion, Yin Huaixi and the four Xie family brothers rode in a carriage.
Yu Youyao took four people, Chunxiao, Bizhu, Cuizhu, and Liuer, into a carriage.
The carriage moved slowly, Chunxiao rolled up the carriage curtains, and Yu Youyao saw people coming and going on the street. It was a bustling scene, even worse than in Beijing.
In August, the Japanese invaded the southeastern coastal area in a large scale, but did not affect Quanzhou. The people along the coastal area were stable and prosperous, and the folk customs were more open.
The kind of curtain that covers the whole body was not fashionable in the Zhou Dynasty.
When ladies go out, if they don't stay on the street for a long time, they don't need to wear a curtain hat to cover themselves. If they stay for a long time, they should wear a curtain hat to cover themselves. The gauze on the curtain hat only reaches the shoulders.
Along the street, Yu Youyao saw many ladies in rich clothes and servants wandering around the street without even wearing curtains or hats.
Cuizhu explained: "Quanzhou welcomes visitors from all over the world, and the atmosphere is very open. My daughter's family can also walk freely on the street. Although the young lady is in the period of filial piety, there is no hindrance to her going out for a walk and getting familiar with the environment."
Being in Beijing, wearing heavy filial piety, having to live in a shabby house, living in seclusion, Yu Youyao finally felt that the restrictions imposed on her were loosened.
The Xie family has lived in Quanzhou for generations, and the Xie family mansion occupies a very large area.
My great-great-grandfather lived in the main house, and several uncles did not live together. Like stars over the moon, they all lived in their own houses around the main house. The houses were all connected, making it very convenient to travel between them.
If we don't live together, we won't make troubles over trivial matters, and our relationship will naturally get better.
After entering the house, the Xie Mansion prepared a sedan chair in front of the hanging flower gate. Yu Yousheng climbed into the sedan chair and went to the main room to meet her grandfather, grandmother, and aunt.
Mrs. Xie felt very distressed when she saw that her grandson had lost a lot of weight: "I heard that you were sick before. Are you feeling better? Have you ever felt seasick after being on a boat for so long?"
Yu Youyao held her grandmother's hand: "My health is already well. If I take good care of myself for a while, I will be fine. On the ship~IndoMTL.com~My third cousin also takes good care of me. The ship moves slowly, and every time we arrive at a port , they would all dock and go ashore, rest for a night, and then continue sailing. I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after staying on the boat for a long time, I got used to it."
Wang smiled and said: "Most people will get seasick and uncomfortable for the first time on a boat. It takes a few more trips to get better. Although our little Yao'er grew up in Beijing, he has followed us. Thank you."
Mr.
Yu Youyao looks like her mother, except for her eyes, but she has also followed Old Mrs. Even more worried.
Because, in their hearts, Yu Youyao is not only a granddaughter, but also a family member.
After chatting affectionately in the big house, Mr. Xie said: "Your second uncle, third uncle and their family are all waiting in the old man's room right now. Come over quickly!"
Yu Youyao was stunned after hearing this. According to the rules, after she entered the Xie Mansion, she should first go to the main room and visit her grandfather, grandmother and aunt's family. Then they would take her to visit her great-grandfather, and then her second uncle's family. , the third uncle's family, so the etiquette becomes very cumbersome.
