Chapter 48 Enze House

After the fire ten years ago, the Chen family set up a big house with two courtyards in a quiet alley near the inner city. Now, Chen Enze's family lives in the house. His wife, Li, is a big tea merchant in Beijing, and he is also one of the best in the business district in Beijing. There is also a pair of five-year-old twins and daughters, and the whole family is happy.

The carriage entered the house directly from the main entrance. Entering the first yard, the four little mates who followed him retreated respectfully and returned to the salt number. The driver was taken down to rest by the little man at home. The two little maids in the family brought their pedals and put them next to the carriage. Lily came out first and stepped on the car. He turned around and lifted the curtain, reached out to hold Qiaoyu, and carefully helped him off the carriage. At the beginning of the application, the sun was still very high. Although there was a hat covering his face, the sunshine in mid-May still shone so that Qiaoyu couldn't open his eyes.

Mr. Li hurried forward to salute the lady respectfully. Qiaoyu held Li Shi and said affectionately, "Sister-in-law, don't be polite!" That's it!" Holding Li's hand, the two slowly walked into the second yard.

It is more than twice as big as the front yard, and it is also well cleaned up. The main room and the ear chambers on both sides are connected by long corridors. The yard is very large, and a grape stand in the middle, with lush and green leaves. There are two bamboo lounge chairs under the grape rack, which is thought to be used for cooling in summer. There are two pairs of swings in one corner of the yard. Two pink children are swinging with a wet nurse and maid. The children played happily and giggled as the swing fell together. Qiao Yu walked over and looked at the two little dolls with a smile. The girl in a big red jacket looks very much like her father Chen Enze. When she saw a man in white, wearing a white bamboo hat and covering her face with white gauze, she couldn't care about the swing. She opened two big watery eyes and couldn't take her eyes off. The nurse and the maid stopped two swings respectively, holding the two children to stand firm. Just as they were about to salute, they were also stopped by Qiaoyu.

"It's all your own family. Don't be polite!" Qiaoyu's voice came out through the white yarn.

The two children ran to their mother with a smile. The girl asked in a milky voice, "Mother, why do guests have to wear hats and cover their faces?" Is she too ugly?"

When Li saw her daughter's words, she quickly covered her mouth. Some embarrassed explanation, "Miss, don't be surprised! Children's words are taboo, children are ignorant, talking nonsense!"

Qiaoyu took off the bucket hat, squatted in front of the little girl with a smile, and asked her lovingly, "Do you think I'm ugly?"

The little girl looked at the man in white in front of her carefully. After a while, she answered seriously, "It's not ugly. You're so beautiful!" It's more beautiful than Chang'e in the Moon Palace!" The little girl's words made everyone in the yard laugh.

Qiaoyu took the little girl's hand with a smile and asked, "What's your name?"

"Qiao'er!"

"Oh! It's very similar to my name!"

"Auntie, what's your name?"

"Qiao'er!" Li called her daughter's name to stop her, "It should be called Miss!"

"sister-in-law! Qiao'er is right. I'm not an aunt by generation!" Qiaoyu looked at Qiaoer with a smile, "My name is Qiaoyu! Because I was born on the seventh day of July, there is a clever character in the name.

"Auntie, Qiaoer was also born on the seventh day of July!"

"Oh! What a coincidence!"

"Qiao'er is a second-year-old man in Yongle! I'm five years old this year.

Qiaoyu took Qiaoer's hand and said in surprise, "So, we are still a zodiac sign!" So we are so predestined. No wonder I like it as soon as I saw you just now!" With that, he untied a self-embroidered savored bag from his body and put it on Qiaoer's hand. "This is a gift from my aunt to Qiaoer."

Qiao'er was really well-behaved. She took the sachet with both hands and didn't need her mother's reminder. She bowed down and said in a big way, "Qiao'er, thank you for your gift!" Qiaoyu smiled and hugged Qiaoer, and the two laughed happily together. The people around me also cheered up together.
