Chapter 229: Affection

Cui's husband Mu Wu is the concubine of the old Xianguo Gong, he was born without a mother, and he has been raised under the name of Mrs. Tai since he was a child.

Cui's personality is as revealing as this, and I am afraid that it will also have something to do with Mrs. Xu.

Zhou Mingshan sighed secretly, and followed Yuan and Cui to the small oil cart in the inner courtyard.

As soon as I got off the bus at the flower hall, I heard bursts of laughter from inside.

"Come in, don't keep them waiting!"

Cui Shi led the way up the steps before saying that, and Yuan and Zhou Mingshan hurriedly followed.

Entering the flower hall, there are several black lacquered square tables in front of you, on the table with delicate white porcelain plates for sweet melons and fruits, and there are flowers and bonsai on the small table next to it, which looks exquisite and beautiful.

Mrs. Xianguo wore a dark gold Wufu pattern gown, smiling and sitting on the arhat bed in the middle room, surrounded by several delicately dressed and wealthy women, talking and laughing, surrounded by a few maids with turquoise gowns, occasionally stepped forward to add tea and snacks, festive and lively, busy but not chaotic.

Seeing Zhou Mingshan and them, Mrs. Tai smiled and beckoned.

Zhou Mingshan hurriedly took a few steps forward and gently touched the Yuan family who was stunned in place.

The Yuan family, who reacted, also hurriedly went forward to salute Mrs. Tai.

The surrounding women had long since taken refuge.

"Get up, get up, come and I'll see!"

Without waiting for them to bow down, the amber and pearl that Zhou Mingshan had seen last time came up to support them, and took them a few steps forward.

Xu is because the master's medicine is indeed very effective, and Mrs. Tai looks much better than when they last met, her face is ruddy, her eyes are bright, and she is rarely healthy among the elderly.

It was the first time for Yuan to see Mrs. Tai, and he was still a little restrained in his actions, and after getting up, he looked at Mrs. Tai a few times and was a little stumbling and didn't know what to say.

Zhou Mingshan knew Mrs. Tai's preferences, and joked with a smile, "Mrs. Tai's complexion is much better, it seems that you have insisted on taking medicine!"

Although Mrs. Tai has a noble status, she also has some small problems with ordinary people, such as dislike that the medicine is bitter, she always likes to drag it and not drink it, and she often needs the maids to heat it several times before she finishes using the medicine.

This is also what Zhou Mingshan only learned from Mama Chen once.

"Hahaha, it seems that my problem is about to be known to everyone, but you are right, I have indeed been drinking less medicine recently!" Mrs. Tai did not shy away from her shortcomings at all, but smiled and laughed at herself Ying and Zhou Mingshan, "But it hurts my wife, and it costs a lot of money to eat candied fruit!"

"Then you have to eat less, that candied fruit will be dry if you eat too much!"

"Oh, Mrs. Tai is still worried about candied silver, so what can we do with these bitter gourd pulps?"

"That is......"

The women who had gathered around before saw that Mrs. Tai had a kind attitude towards Yuan's mother and daughter, and they also started laughing, and for a while the room was full of liveliness.

Mrs. Tai smiled and quipped, and then looked at Yuan carefully, "It's still more like Second Uncle Heng!"

Although Yuan knew Mrs. Tai's origin, she had never met her grandfather after all, and she was a little unresponsive when she heard the unfamiliar name.

Fortunately, Mrs. Tai didn't wait for her to respond, and then asked, "Why didn't you come to see my old woman?"

Since entering the Xianguo Mansion today, the Yuan family has been a little out of state, at first worried about Zhou Mingshan, and then a little surprised by the familiarity between Zhou Mingshan and Mrs. Tai, and by the time Mrs. Tai also showed her kindness beyond her expectations, she didn't know what to do at all.

Seeing that Yuan's face turned red, Zhou Mingshan sighed secretly and continued to speak, "Mrs. Tai forgot, my mother only gave birth to a younger brother and sister last year, and her body has not been raised, so why don't you come to Mrs. Tai to say goodbye as soon as she is ready!"

"Oh, look at my memory!" Mrs. Tai patted her forehead as if she suddenly realized, "It can be seen that she is old and confused! By the way, why don't you bring Sister Ning with you?"

Seeing that Mrs. Tai only mentioned Sister Ning, Zhou Mingshan knew that she had guessed correctly.

Mrs. Tai's previous pretended blame was actually to express her intimacy with their mother and daughter, and Mrs. Tai was actually clear about her family's affairs.

Speaking of his daughter, Yuan finally reacted, and hurriedly replied, "It's hot and cold for a while, so I didn't bring the child out, and Ming'er will definitely bring your blessings!"

These words were said very beautifully, and Zhou Mingshan secretly gave Yuan a look of praise.

Mrs. Tai is also quite satisfied with Yuan's response, she can't always rely on her daughter to play a round when she goes out, as an official wife, if she can't socialize, she can't be regarded as fulfilling her duties as a wife.

"Okay, then I'll wait, I haven't seen a child for a few days, and I'm panicking!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of the ladies and wives present could be said to be wonderful.

The youngest child in the Xianguo Mansion is from the second room, and Cui's daughter is five years old this year. And the son Mu Yuting and the second son Mu Yuxuan have reached the age of marriage, especially the son Mu Yuting has turned twenty, ordinary people get married early, and the children can already run away, but the son is still alone.

Mrs. Tai's words obviously also mean that she is anxious for her grandson and wants to hold her grandson.

The women present have more or less school-age daughters in their families or relatives and friends, even if they can't climb Mu Shizi, it may not be bad to be assigned to the second son, how to say that it is also the mansion of the Xianguo Mansion.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be more lively.

Mrs. Tai seems to like this scene very much, and she has been smiling so much that everyone is joking and flattering, but she never accepts anything related to her grandson's family affairs, and even personally helps the Yuan family introduce women.

"This is Mrs. Yongping Houjiang. ”

Mrs. Jiang is in her fifties, round and has a kind smile on her face, and she looks very kind.

Yuan and Zhou Mingshan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Mrs. Jiang returned the salute.

Mrs. Tai introduced other people.

"This is Mrs. Boglio of Zhongshan......"

"This is the second lady of the Pingguo Princess's Mansion......"

Zhou Mingshan felt that her legs were a little sore when she followed the salute, but she got a lot of greeting gifts.

After the ladies had finished introducing all the people they had brought, two quarters of an hour had passed, and from time to time the ladies and ladies were brought in to meet their masters.

Not all the ladies present knew the identity of the Yuan family, and after the introduction, they were all a little puzzled why Mrs. Xu was so enthusiastic about this third grandmother Yuan who had no intersection with them on weekdays, and some couldn't bear to start whispering and talking.

"I know the Xingyuan Marquis Mansion, but it doesn't seem to be an in-law with the Xianguo Mansion, right?"

"That's definitely not, Mrs. Shizi of Xingyuan Houfu is from Guangyuan Bofu, as for the second and fourth grandmothers, it's even more impossible!"

"I heard that this fourth girl is the one who saved Mrs. Tai in the Temple of Mercy and Grace the year before last!"

"Ah, no wonder ......"

Zhou Mingshan was actually a little unsure whether Mrs. Xu's affection for them was because of her actions in Ci'en Temple or because of her grandmother, but it was impossible to ask clearly. js3v3
