After Li Zixuan and Li Zixin followed Daohua to her yard, they were fascinated by the flowers and plants in the yard even at night.

Surrounded by the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, both of them took a deep breath unconsciously.

"Cousin, your yard is really nice." Li Zixuan admired sincerely.

Daohua smiled and said: "If you like, the two cousins ​​can stay here longer." After saying that, she led people into the main room.

Sisters Li Zixuan and Li Zixin walked in. Their first impression was that they were spacious and elegant. There were not many furnishings, but everything was exquisite.

At this time, Daohua asked Guyu and Lixia: "Has Nuange been packed up?"

Guyu smiled and said: "I packed it up early in the morning and put away the things belonging to the two cousins."

Daohua nodded, then took Sister Li Zixuan to sit on the collapse, personally made tea for the two of them, and while passing the tea, she said with a smile: "My yard is not big, so I have to live in Nuange with my two cousins.

It’s inside.”

Li Zixuan took the tea and said with a smile: "Cousin, please stop saying such things. It's not about grievances or grievances. I think this is good."

Li Zixin also said: "That's right, I just hope that we will come over and won't disturb you, cousin."

Daohua smiled and scolded: "What's the trouble? I hope you can come over before it's too late. When you come to my place, you just treat it as your own home, but don't be polite to me. I thought when I went to your home, it was very casual.

, if you don’t come back from playing, you will suffer a loss.”

Hearing what Daohua said, Li Zixuan and Li Zixin both laughed and felt relieved at the same time.

They can feel more at ease if their cousin doesn't treat them politely.

At this moment, Wang Maner walked in with a smile: "Girl, the bath water is ready."

Daohua nodded and said to Sister Li Zixuan: "After taking the boat for a long time, I think both cousins ​​are tired, right? After washing, you can rest."

Li Zixuan nodded, and Li Zixin followed the maid to the ear room to wash up.

After the two of them had finished washing, the rice flowers were washed.

By the time she finished washing, Sister Li Zixuan was already lying on the bed in Nuange.

Daohua, wearing an aqua blue double-breasted coat and a light blue skirt, with waist-length hair, walked in and asked with a smile: "What else is missing?"

Li Zixuan quickly sat up: "Nothing is missing, everything is in order."

Daohua looked at the layout of Nuan Pavilion and saw that all the necessary items were available, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Li Zixin lay on the bed and smiled: "Cousin, don't worry about us, go back to sleep."

Li Zixuan took over: "Yes, October is about to enter, and the weather is getting colder day by day. You have just taken a shower, and you are wearing so few clothes. Be careful of catching a cold."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back to sleep right away. You guys should also go to bed early." Daohua smiled and walked out.

After Daohua left, Li Zixuan retreated into bed.

At this time, the mother-in-law's voice came from outside: "Miss Man'er, it's time to lock up."

Wang Man'er: "Have everyone in the yard returned?"

Mother-in-law: "We're all back."

"Then close the courtyard door!"

When the sound disappeared, Li Zixin turned to look at Li Zixuan: "Sister, what are they doing?"

Li Zixuan: "This is the rule of a large family. At night, every yard must be locked to prevent the servants from running around and causing trouble."

Li Zixin sighed: "The rules at my aunt's house are really strict."

Li Zixuan nodded: "It was only after my aunt's family arrived in Xingzhou City that the rules became stricter little by little."

Li Zixin stretched her head and looked outside the greenhouse. When she saw no one, she whispered: "After we came today, we didn't see my uncle's previous concubine."

"I think back when we were guests at my aunt's house, that concubine dared to come out to see us in a grand manner, and she was so shameless that she just sat there and didn't leave. It was really annoying."

"When I came here this time, I thought I was going to see her again."

Li Zixuan smiled: "Didn't you hear what my eldest aunt and my mother said? As my uncle's official position gets higher and higher, he will pay more and more attention to rules. Naturally, he will not let his concubine come out to see guests anymore."

"Besides, cousin Yiyi is not a vegetarian. I don't think she would let that concubine jump up and down."

Li Zixin nodded: "Yes, this time I came to my aunt's house, I feel that many things have changed."

"My aunt's family used to live very hard, and we had to rely on our family to help. But now, look at the furnishings in my cousin's house. Every item is worth a lot of money."

"Also, the things my cousin uses are much better than what we buy outside. The rouge, gouache, and moisturizing cream she prepared for us are all different from what we usually use."

Li Zixuan thought about what she saw and heard in Yan Mansion today and was silent for a while: "My aunt's family has really changed, becoming more and more noble."

Li Zixin sighed: "Our family is rich, but compared to my aunt's family, there is indeed something missing. Sister, what do you think is missing?"

Li Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "It's missing some of the scholarly atmosphere! I just finished taking a shower and while I was waiting for you, I took a look at the east wing and the maid who was serving me said it was my cousin's study."

"My cousin is a daughter, and her aunts and uncles have such strict requirements on her, let alone cousin Wenxiu and the others."

"Although our family also hired a wife, it only allowed us to know a few words. Compared with my cousins, there is no comparison."

Li Zixin looked regretful: "Unfortunately, none of the brothers in our family have any talent in reading."

Li Zixuan: "Fortunately, my aunt married my uncle, so our family has support. Otherwise, we would have been like those businessmen who had to apologize despite being oppressed by powerful families."

"Isn't it? Merchants have no status at all."

"..."

On the other side, Daohua fell asleep soon after lying on the bed. Early the next morning, before dawn, she took Wang Maner to the open space in front of the Chuihua Gate.

Qin Wu looked at the neatly dressed Daohua and smiled: "I thought you couldn't come today!"

Daohua: "Why don't you come? I've been idle for almost three months. If I don't practice, my martial arts will go backwards."

Qin Wu showed admiration: "It's a good thing to endure hardship. Come on, let me see if you have made progress or regressed during this time."

After that, Daohua resumed her usual practice of whipping in the morning.

......

After practicing whipping and returning to the courtyard, Daohua quickly washed up, took Sister Li Zixuan to the main courtyard, greeted Mrs. Li, and then the group went to the old lady's courtyard to have breakfast together.

After breakfast, Mrs. Li said to Sister Li Zixuan: "I have already said hello to Master Shen. During these days in Yan Mansion, you will go to class with Daohua and the others."

"Master Shen is very good in terms of knowledge, etiquette and rules, as well as needlework and female beauty. You must study hard."

Li Zixuan and Li Zixin both nodded seriously.

Before coming here, Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Jiang both told them to learn from their cousin, which would be of great help to them in getting married in the future.
