Chapter 61: Returning to My Mother's Home
This virtuous concubine did not come forward, and this appearance won a good reputation for herself in front of the world. It's a pity, she's not a queen, what does a concubine want this virtuous reputation for?
Several princes gradually grew up, and the courtiers wanted the emperor to make the prince more than once, and the emperor faintly had the intention of establishing the five princes born to Concubine Ande as the prince, and at this time, presumably the virtuous concubine couldn't sit still.
These people in the palace have nothing to do with He Linwan, He Linwan just thought of Jie Ge'er's pendant, how could it fall into the hands of the palace people in the palace of Concubine Xian?
He Linwan was thinking about it and was wandering, when someone outside came to report that someone from the Wei Mansion had come and asked to see the third wife.
The second lady smiled at Wei's and said, "Is your mother's family here?" ”
Wei got up and left Mingshan Hall with He Linwan.
The porter led the person to the flower hall, and when Wei and He Lin went over late, they saw an old woman in her fifties. When the grandmother saw Wei from a distance, she immediately stood up, walked a few steps quickly to salute Wei, and said excitedly, "Auntie." ”
Wei Shi was also stunned when he saw the person coming, and then held her elbow to make her get up, and the smile on his face softened: "Mama Xia." ”
Mama Xia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Eh, how is Grandma Grandma doing?" Seeing He Linwan in a blink of an eye, Mama Xia hurriedly smiled, "Yo, this is the little miss, right?"
He Linwan smiled at Mama Xia, and shouted Mama Xia after Wei.
Wei invited Mama Xia to sit in the flower hall before smiling and said, "Thank you Mama for your concern, I'm fine." I don't know how my grandmother is lately? I met my wife last time at the Yasukuni Mansion. I heard that my grandmother still takes medicine every day?"
"The old lady is an old problem, she has been like ......that for so many years," Xia Mama paused when she said this, and then said, "There are a lot of things in the house, and her old man has to make up her mind, and she can't be idle, so she just raises it like that." Auntie, you haven't been back for a long time, the old lady is very worried about you, maybe she is old, the old lady always talks about the old people who have been with us for a long time. What she reads the most is what happened to your aunt and grandmother when you were a child. ”
Wei smiled: "I also remember my grandmother's heart to protect me. ”
Hearing this, Mama Xia smiled: "Yes." Slaves and maids often say that you are a nostalgic person. When I was sick and was sent to Zhuangzi for more than half a year, you were already married, and you often asked people to send me some food, clothing, and medicinal herbs. ”
Wei smiled: "Mama, you also took a lot of care of me back then. ”
Mama Xia hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You still keep remembering, isn't that the duty of a slave?"
Wei smiled slightly, and asked Mama Xia, "Grandmother asked you to come today?"
Mama Xia said: "In a few days, it will be the death day of the eldest lady." On that day, the old lady wanted to make a dojo for the eldest lady. So let the slave come and ask you to go back on that day. ”
Wei couldn't help but be in a trance when he heard this: "My mother's death day? This year is the seventeenth year, right?"
Mama Xia also sighed: "Isn't it? More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye." What a good person the eldest lady is, and the slave and maid have also received her favor, but it's a pity ......"
Wei was silent for a moment. Then he said to Mama Xia: "You go back and tell the old lady that I will go to Weifu that day." ”
Mama Xia hurriedly said: "Eh, then the slave maid will order someone to send a carriage to pick up your aunt and grandmother early in the morning." ”
When a married woman returns to her parents' house, she usually asks her mother's family to send a carriage or a horse or someone to pick her up, which shows that her mother's family attaches great importance to her aunt and grandmother who has been married, and also tells her mother-in-law that their girls do not run to their parents' house casually.
Then Mama Xia exchanged a few more words to Wei's, and then got up to say goodbye.
Wei got up to send Mama Xia out of the flower hall, Mama Xia had already walked a few steps out, but for some reason she suddenly turned around and said to Wei: "Grandma, I guess you also know that it was my old woman who came here today and no one else came because the slave maid took care of your aunt and grandmother for a few years, but the slave and maid knew that no matter what kind of affection it was, it could not withstand consumption." When you go back to your parents' home, if someone asks you to do something you don't want to do, you should do it according to your own heart, after all, you will live your own life in the future, and you have nothing to do with others, and you don't owe anyone anything. ”
Wei Shi was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a very gentle smile at Mama Xia, "I know, Mama, don't worry about me. ”
Mama Xia shook her head and said, "It's good that you know, the slave has always known that you, like the eldest lady, are both thoughtful people." In fact, the old lady didn't understand this, but the burden on her body was too heavy, and there were too many burdens to bear, so it was inevitable that she would have some considerations about gains and losses. You...... Don't blame her. ”
Wei smiled.
Mama Xia sighed, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
Wei Shi kept watching her figure leave, and then said with a smile: "Mama Xia is a good person, and she is always easy to be soft-hearted. ”
He Lin said lately: "There is nothing bad about being soft-hearted, at least mother, you remember her good." Mother, do you blame your grandmother?"
Wei took He Linwan's hand and walked to the West Garden, and after thinking about it, he sighed: "Originally, I didn't complain, after all, if it wasn't for my grandmother's protection, I don't know what situation I am now." But...... Seventeen years have passed since my mother died, and they only now remember to make an ashram for her, but not because they thought of her goodness, but for other purposes......"
Speaking of this, Wei smiled bitterly: "I don't want to complain, but as Mama Xia said, no matter what kind of affection you have, it will run out one day." ”
He Linwan took Wei's hand: "Mother, I will accompany you back when the time comes." ”
Hearing this, Wei touched He Linwan's head and said gently: "Okay, Ah Wan will accompany me, and I won't be afraid of anything if Ah Wan is in my mother." ”
Wei's mother, Wang's death day, soon came, Wei made it clear to Mrs. He and the second lady a day earlier, I heard that it was for Wei's deceased mother to make a dojo, Mrs. He didn't say anything, the old lady was superstitious, and the dead man's head was not daring to touch.
The Wei family's carriage also arrived early in the morning, and the Wei family originally planned to only take He Lin to the evening, but thinking that Xiaohuzi had not kowtowed to his grandmother, he finally brought Xiaohuzi with him.
The Wei Mansion is also in the east of the city, not far from the He family, and the carriage walked slowly but half an hour away. Last time, the Wei family said that he would go to the Wei family to invite Mrs. Yu and the Da Yu family, but thinking about it, since he returned to his parents' house today because of the death day of the Wang family, he did not inform the people of the Yu family, after all, it was a white matter.
This is the first time He Linwan has come to the Wei Mansion, and the Wei family's house is smaller than the He family in terms of land area, but it is more elaborate.
As soon as they got off the carriage at the second gate, seven or eight mothers-in-law and maids who were waiting in front of the second gate in the morning surrounded them.
"Slaves and maids to my aunt, Miss Cousin, and Young Master Cousin. ”
He Linwan glanced at these mothers-in-law and maids, and had to say that from the comparison of the people in the family, the old lady of the Wei family is indeed much stronger than the old lady of the He family. Although these maids and daughters-in-law surrounded the three of Wei's mother and son, and talked lively, they did not make people feel unruly or bored, but made Wei's aunt feel that she was very valued by the elders in her mother's family.
A group of people surrounded the Wei family and went to the courtyard of the old lady of the Wei family.
Xiaohuzi is also the first time to come to Wei's house, and because he goes out less on weekdays, so he looks in a good mood, and a little maid sees him staring at a cherry tree in the garden while walking, so he quickly goes up to the tree to pick a handful of cherries and hands them to him.
Xiaohuzi stared at the cherry for a while, then broke free of the nurse's hand and ran to He Linwan to get the purse on her waist, He Linwan smiled and took off his purse and handed it to him. Xiaohuzi glanced back at the cherries held by the maid again, counted out the copper plate with the same number of cherries from He Linwan's purse, and then handed the copper plate to the little girl with an expressionless face.
The little girl was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Young Master Cousin, don't use it, don't use it......"
Wei glanced back and couldn't help but smile: "What he rewarded you, you can take it." ”
When the little girl saw Wei's say this, she happily accepted the reward that Xiaohuzi gave her, Xiaohuzi ignored her thanks, and saw that the little girl took his copper plate and took the cherry in her hand.
Xiaohuzi ran back and returned the purse to He Linwan, and then looked up at her.
He Linwan touched Xiaohuzi's round head and praised him with a smile: "Yes, Xiaohuzi is so smart." ”
Xiaohuzi was satisfied with all the cherries in his hand into the big purse he used to hold snacks, although there was not much expression on his face, his eyes were full of simple joy.
It turns out that Xiaohuzi is learning to count with He Linwan recently, and when He Linwan taught Xiaohuzi, he found that although Xiaohuzi is not as fast as Brother Jie and can draw inferences, Xiaohuzi is very serious, will not be coquettish and lazy, nor will he desert, and he will not forget after teaching.
The old lady of the Wei family did not live in the main house of the Wei Mansion, she moved out of the main house after the death of the old lady Wei, leaving the main house to her son and daughter-in-law. This is also the difference between the old lady of the Wei family and the old lady of the He family.
As soon as she walked into the courtyard of the old lady of the Wei family, a maid ran in at the door to report.
So when Wei took He Linwan and Xiaohuzi in, he heard an old woman's voice and said eagerly: "Is Zhenniang back? Why don't you come in?"
Wei replied as he walked inside, "Grandmother." ”
He Linwan, who was walking behind Wei's, looked up and saw that there was a well-dressed old lady with silver hair sitting on the Luohan bed in the middle of the room.
It's hard to climb the list, and the tickets are coming...... T-T
