Nianyuan is on the south side of the Niangniang Palace, and there is a door connected to the Niangniang Temple. However, to go to Nianyuan, you do not have to pass through Niangniang Temple. Go from Niangniang Temple to the west, and along the wall of Niangniang Temple, there is a newly built mountain road. This mountain road is very spacious and flat, and you can pass two three-hanging carriages side by side. On both sides of the mountain road are two rows of tall pine and cypress, guarding the mountain road like two rows of guards.

The climate in Liaodong Prefecture is distinct in all four seasons, and only pine and cypress can be evergreen in all four seasons.

Lian Man'er's sedan chair was still an arrow away from the west gate of Nianyuan, and the west gate was automatically opened. A man was surrounded by many servants and girls and walked out of the door.

"It's Brother Xiaojiu, Brother Xiaojiu is here to welcome us." Lian Man'er was sitting in the sedan chair, so naturally she couldn't see it. Xiaoqi sat on the mule's back and saw it, and immediately smiled.

Lian Man'er heard Xiaoqi talking in the sedan chair and smiled slightly. For a while, she didn't see Chen Xiaopang anymore and was about to meet her. Xiaopang also ran to the door to greet them in person. It was obvious that she valued their friendship, and Lian Man'er was a little happy.

What she originally thought in her mind was that the natural alienation of the alienation was not happening because of her age. On the contrary, as time went by, they gathered more than before, and their friendship seemed to be more intimate.

When they arrived at the west gate of Nianyuan, Xiaoqi was helped off the mule by Han Zhong and greeted Chen Jiu, and was very intimate.

"Don't even stop the girl's sedan chair, just carry it in." Chen Jiu ordered.

Lian Man'er was hard to speak in the sedan chair, so she quietly opened a narrow slit to look outside. She was just seeing Chen Qian.

Chen Qian wore a lake blue gold-woven flower arrow sleeve robe today, with a jade belt around his waist. His face seemed to be thinner than when he saw it last time, and his body seemed to be taller. Standing next to Xiaoqi, he was already one head taller than Xiaoqi. Moreover, although he had become thinner, he looked energetic and became more and more steady in his actions.

It seems that Chen Qian must have experienced some experience when he went to the capital this time. Lian Man'er took a look and put the curtain back on the sedan chair. All the fat baby fat was gone. Alas, Lian Man'er held her cheek and sighed secretly. Although she was happy for Chen Qian now, she missed the fat baby fat in her heart.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, it’s not just Xiaopang, she, Xiaoqi, and Goro, who are all growing up.

Several sedan chairmen carried Lian Man'er's sedan chair and went straight into the west gate. Aunt Luo was leading the girl in front of her, Xiaoqing and Xiaoxi followed both sides of the sedan chair, and Chen Qian accompanied Xiaoqi behind the sedan chair.

The two of them were talking while walking, and what was going on at home, where did they read books, what articles they wrote recently, and finally asked where Wulang accompanied Mr. Lu, when he probably came back, etc.

Chen Qian and Xiaoqi have a good relationship, even better than Goro. Therefore, the two of them talked not like the kind of polite greetings, but the kind of intimate and warm conversations.

Lian Man'er was invited to Nianyuan. Because it was her first time to visit the female family of the Shen family, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. But as Xiaoqi and Shen Qian chatted about family matters behind her, her mood immediately calmed down, and the little tension and uneasiness naturally disappeared.

After everyone walked for a while, Lian Man'er could not see the scenery outside in the sedan chair. However, every time he passed by, Chen Qian, who was following behind, would definitely mention it in his conversation with Xiaoqi. Lian Man'er and Shen Qian had come to the garden to visit. Even if they were not very familiar with the scenery in the garden, they were not unfamiliar with it. Chen Qian knew about this.

Xiaoqi was outside and could see everything, so naturally there was no need for Chen Qian to tell him. Chen Qian seemed to be doing this specifically for Lian Man'er in the sedan chair. However, what he did was without trace, which made Lian Man'er feel sad. He only felt that Chen Xiaopang was really good, but he didn't think about whether Chen Qian said this to her on purpose.

The Nianyuan covers a huge area. Lian Man'er's sedan chair walked for a while before stopping in front of a flower hall. Xiao Xi and Xiao Qing lifted the curtains and helped Lian Man'er off the sedan chair.

When Lian Man'er stood still, Chen Qian and Xiao Qi both walked up. In this way, Lian Man'er truly met Chen Qian.

Lian Man'er hurriedly bowed to Chen Qian and gave in to him, and gave in to him.

"Girl, don't be too polite." Chen Qian said with a smile.

When Chen Qian first wanted to recognize her as a teacher, he gave up halfway, but now when we meet, Chen Qian specifically called her girl like this, and even Man'er had to call him "Brother Xiaojiu".

"Oh." Chen Qian agreed immediately, then raised his eyes and looked at Lian Man'er with a smile. This was the first time Lian Man'er called him Xiaojiu Brother. Although there was a small word in front of him, it also admitted that he was older than her. Is he the status of being an elder brother?

Chen Qian was happy, and Lian Man'er looked at Chen Qian's raised mouth and fox eyes that had been bent into two crescent moons, so she could naturally guess what the fat man who was no longer fat was thinking.

Who made his birthday older than her and became classmates with Goro? However, a vocal slogan of Xiaojiu could make him happy. He was so proud that some things on Chen Xiaopang still remained unchanged. She felt friendly and familiar.

"Man'er, Xiaoqi, my sixth brother and fifth sister are inside, waiting for us. Let's go in." Chen Qian saw that Lian Man'er not only called him brother, but also stood there obediently, and he couldn't mention the smugness in his heart. He greeted Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi and walked into the flower hall.

"The sixth brother lives in this Changqingyuan, the fifth sister is in Hexuan behind, and I live in the small hillside next to her." As he walked in, Chen Qian told Lian Man'er and his brother.

"Brother Xiaojiu, you came here after you came back from the capital. You don't study anymore?" Because I was in the sedan chair just now, I heard that Chen Qian had just returned from the capital for a few days, Lian Man'er asked this.

"The fifth brother has asked for leave from the academy." Chen Qian blinked at Lian Man'er and smiled, "I came with my fifth sister. Mr. Chu came with me. I am here to study quietly."

Seeing Chen Qian's expression was naughty, Lian Man'er said that she wanted to study calmly, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

"Man'er, come to my small hill residence later. It is the quietest place in the garden and the best reading." Chen Qian saw Lian Man'er smiling, subconsciously walked two steps to Lian Man'er. Then he realized that he could not put Xiaoqi away. He turned his head and smiled at Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi is here too, let's study together."

As I spoke all the way, I entered the flower hall.

Unlike the few times when they saw Shen Liu and Shen Qian, there were many maids and mothers standing inside and outside the flower hall. Lian Man'er glanced over and saw that these maids and mothers were all dressed in bright clothes, standing neatly everywhere, holding their breath. Just by looking at it, they were already many times stronger than the Song family's pomp and rules.

There was a table above the flower hall, and two people sat by the table. As soon as Lian Man'er entered the door, he saw the person sitting on the top, which was Shen Liu.

Today, Shen Liu wore a loose robe with silver and gold lines on the back. He did not wear a crown on his head. He only held his hair with a white jade hairpin and tied a jade belt around his waist. He was sitting lazily on the chair and drinking tea when he heard Lian Man'er and the others come in, so he raised his head and looked right and right with Lian Man'er's gaze.

Shen Liu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and slowly lowered the teacup.

"Sixth Master." Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi hurried forward and saluted Shen Liu.

Chen Qian and Wulang are classmates, but Shen Liu is not. In addition, he is a few years older and has entered the official career early. Even if he deliberately restrains himself, his official power is still very powerful. Therefore, although Lian Man'er and his sister are brothers and sisters, they are always Liu Masters.

"No need to be so polite." Shen Liu nodded slightly and raised his hand to let Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi get up.

"Man'er, Xiaoqi, this is my fifth sister." Chen Qian then helped the two brothers to recommend it.

Chen Qian sat on the table, and on his left hand was a woman wearing a rosy-colored spring gauze shirt. The woman looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with her shoulders and waist slim, and her appearance was seven or eight percent similar to Shen Liu, especially her pair of phoenix eyes, which was exactly the same as Shen Liu's.

Lian Man'er knew that the woman in front of her was Chen Jin, the fifth lady of the Shen family who gave her a small note to invite her to come.

A girl who was quite heroic was a little surprised by Lian Man'er, who had made some guesses about her because of the Jasmine Note.

"I've seen Miss Five." Lian Man'er squatted and gave a blessing to Chen Jin.

As soon as Lian Man'er squatted, Chen Jin stood up from his seat, turned slightly, and returned the salute to Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi.

After everyone talked to each other, Chen Jin came over, took Lian Man'er's hand, and took her to the table, and sat next to each other. Chen Qian did not go to the table with his right hand, but asked someone to bring two embroidery slogans, and he and Xiao Qi and sat next to Lian Man'er's lower head.

Xiaoqi next to Lian Man'er, and Chen Qian next to Xiaoqi.

I have to say that these children are really intimate.

After sitting down, I had to exchange greetings again.

"...I want to live here for some time, but I have no friends. I heard from my sixth brother and ninth brother that I have just settled down and sent Aunt Luo down the mountain to your house. I see if you are at home, if I am there, I will definitely invite you and meet you... I will live here in the future and I can have multiple friends." Chen Jin said to Lian Man'er.

It turned out that Chen Jin and Shen Qian were going to live in this chanting garden.

"That's something I can't get." Lian Man'er smiled.

Chen Jin's face was as white as jade, and his phoenix eyes were flowing, which made Lian Man'er secretly praise her. In addition, she was humble and not arrogant and artificial, and Lian Man'er had a good impression of her. However, when she met for the first time, she didn't know how Chen Jin was. Lian Man'er refused to speak much, but only paid attention to Chen Jin's every move.

Chen Jin died and saw Lian Man'er for the first time. His eyes were bound to look around Lian Man'er.

Both girls looked at each other carefully, and Shen Liu stood on the desk and smiled slightly. Only Chen Qian seemed to be the most like a fish in water.
