Chapter 421: Reunion
The old lady of the Sheng family, the old lady of the Feng family, and the younger generations of the Sheng family returning to their hometowns together are an out-and-out big event for the whole of Nanfeng County.
The three powerful families almost rushed to the long pavilion to greet them.
Although many people in the county town have already felt that there seems to be some undercurrent between the three families during this time, especially the Luo family moved to the inn less than half a day after entering the Sheng Mansion, and even now they have not been willing to go to any of the Sheng Mansion to live, which has caused some sharp-eyed people to discuss, but on the scene, the gathering outside the city is still very harmonious and lively.
When they set up a dust-washing banquet in the long pavilion and greeted each other to enter the city, with the whispers in the team, all kinds of atmospheres quietly spread: Sheng Weixing's sister Sheng Weirao said that the Luo family stayed at the guest house, and the next person couldn't find Sheng Lansi and didn't notify him in time to come forward to invite on his behalf:" Although it was already curfew when I knew it, I immediately prepared a gift, went out with my uncle's name card, and went to the inn to make amends, but the two people over there simply refused to show up that night, and only called the next person to come out to apologize, saying that they had just rushed over and had rested, and it was inconvenient to get up. I went again the next day, and I saw it over there, but the words were not leaky, and there was no room for refusal to go to our guest house to settle down...... Sister, I think they're angry. ”
"Ruoliu and Fuyan, those two cheap maids!" Sheng Weirao was the same as Mrs. Zheng at first, as soon as she heard this, she suspected that the two aunts wanted to make it bad and deliberately sabotage Sheng Weide's good family business, she sneered and said, "Don't worry! Now that my grandfather and grandmother are back, even if my father protects them, can I beat my grandfather and grandmother?! Even dare to interfere in the big brother's lifelong affairs, it's simply impatient!"
Sheng Weixing has been very cautious in the past two years, and he is still a little worried when he hears the words: "It's just that Ruoliu is talking about it, but I have known about it for a long time, but I am jealous that my eldest brother can have a good family, so I deliberately did not show up...... After that, I went to the inn twice, but I couldn't invite anyone back to the house, and they said privately, I am the only one to go, who knows what I said to the Luo family? Maybe it will offend them even more? But there are only a few people in the family, my father was drunk at Xianghao that day, and I couldn't get up at all, my younger brothers are young, and my aunts' identities are not good to come forward, I don't go to the inn alone, who can go with me?!"
"Are you afraid that the eldest brother will misunderstand you?" Sheng Weirao comforted, "Don't worry, the eldest brother is not such a person! I'll help you explain to the eldest brother when I go back, those two cheap maids are really dizzy, and they dare to create any kind of rumors! I don't want to think that our house has been divided a long time ago, no matter how beautiful the ancestral house is in the future, we are not qualified to share anything." In this case, the eldest brother married a young lady from the Luo family in Jiangnan, and we have a sister-in-law from a big family, what's wrong with that?
While their sister and brother were talking, Xuan Yu Feng also took the opportunity to share the car with Old Lady Feng and whispered: "According to the message you sent back before, everything is going well! It's just that the Luo family came very early, and they arrived early, which surprised us...... Of course, it's good to arrive early, the silver ticket has been collected over there, and I haven't gone to live with Sheng Lansi at this time, it seems that I am moved!"
Old lady Feng stroked the long beard under her chin, bowed her head slightly, and looked at Feng Ye, the eldest son in the same car: "How is Zhiyi doing?"
According to their plan, Feng Ye's second son, Feng Zhiyi, replaced Sheng Weide and married Miss Luo.
In fact, according to the identity and status of the Luo family, it should be Feng Ye's eldest son. Helplessly, Feng's family, Sun Feng Zhiren, is relatively old, and he has children at this time, so he can't be asked to divorce his wife and abandon his children to make room for Miss Luo's family, right?
Not to mention that the Feng family has not lacked virtue to this point, even the identity of Miss Luo will definitely not yield to the position of a stepwife.
And the two sons-in-law of the second room of the Feng family are still young, and it is not time to say that they are married, and the third and fourth sons of the big house are all concubines, and their identities do not match the concubines of the head of the Luo family, not to mention, the concubines marry highly, which is not conducive to the future internal stability of the Feng family.
Fortunately, Feng Zhiyi wanted him to marry Sheng Weiqiao because of the selfishness of his biological mother Le's early years, and he kept dragging it out without discussing marriage, and later Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Sleepy Crane became a couple, and Le's had no hope at all, so he began to choose a daughter-in-law...... This is not yet confirmed, Old Lady Feng spied on what Old Lady Sheng was doing in private, so he thought about it and asked her to stop.
Now it's a ready-made candidate.
However, the old lady is determined to do things perfectly, so he came back earlier, asking Feng Zhiyi to study more and cultivate more self-cultivation, even if his talent is limited and he can't get fame, so he can cultivate some heroic spirit, no matter what, he must compare Sheng Weide with Sheng Weide in terms of personal temperament and conversation.
Seeing the old lady ask at this time, Feng Zhiyi's own father Feng Ye hurriedly said: "Daddy, don't worry! Although Zhiyi is dull, he has always been the most obedient and filial. Since the child received your letter and told him, he has been studying hard these days, and a few days ago, I went to my little sister and borrowed some notes from my brother-in-law and the king of Mizhen County in the early years, and studied it day long!"
Old Lady Feng bowed slightly: "Although we elders are here, we will plan the future for the children." But we can't protect them year after year, if they themselves are not motivated, we will work hard and in vain...... It's good for children to know how to cherish their blessings. ”
The old lady is getting old, and this time she came back by land, and she suffered a lot of bumps, so she had a meeting in the long pavilion, and she was tired until this moment, and she was about to close her eyes and recuperate, but when she caught a glimpse of Feng Ye wanting to speak and stop, she wondered, "Is there anything else?"
"It's the Luo family who came ahead of schedule. Feng Ye glanced at his sister Xuan Yu Feng, and then said, "The eldest sister thinks this is a good thing, giving us a chance to do something, but the child feels that something is wrong." Because Mrs. Sheng only came back at this moment, if she did this next, she could still say that she was seeking justice for the eldest sister, and it was a matter of course. But playing this method in advance is somewhat ill-intentioned...... It's not that the child is worried about other people, but the king of Mizhen is not confused?"
"So what?" Old Lady Feng listened, bowing slightly, but disapproving, "Do you really expect this matter to be concealed? It's Lan Ci and his wife, do you think they don't count in their hearts? It's just that they are embarrassed to say it?"
Seeing that Feng Ye was still a little hesitant, he sighed and reminded, "The old lady of the Sheng family only came back at this time, for my father, why not? With my father's rush, the Sheng family will always owe us, and they are not the kind of people who have no face and no skin, how can they be embarrassed to mess around? Otherwise, will your father let you do this?"
Next to Xuanyu Feng's snort: "Big brother, you just have too little contact with Mi Zhen, and only regard him as the king of the county, not as a nephew and son-in-law...... Don't listen to the rumors, he is not as stingy as the rumors, otherwise his brother-in-law would still be willing to give him Qiao'er? Qiao'er is not a gentle and petty person who can read his face!"
"You have been with Qiao'er for two years, and you have worked quite hard, and you have also helped take care of Mizhen and Qiao'er's eldest son. Old Lady Feng said, "His status in front of Mi Zhen is different, he is respected by your elders." However, Ye Er really has no contact with Mi Zhen, earlier when we thought that Mi Zhen was Lan Ci's outer room, we once had murderous intentions! Ye Er faced him, of course, he was a little instinctively cautious...... Okay, let's not talk about that, is there anything else? If not, I'll squint for a while!"
Xuan Yu Feng and Feng Ye hurriedly said: "Dad, you can rest first! ”
At this time, the team had already entered the city, and at the fork in the road, Feng Ye went out to say goodbye to Mrs. Sheng, saying that his father had fallen asleep in the carriage, so he would not come out to say goodbye in person, and go back to the house to rest, and after a few days, he would ease up, and then go to the Sheng Mansion to thank the Sheng family for taking care of Mrs. Feng when they were in Chang'an.
Although Old Lady Sheng is three years younger than Old Lady Feng, he was born in the army, even after disarming, he did not let go of martial arts, and his body was much more tormented than his in-laws.
At this time, he noticed that the third son Sheng Lanzi looked at him, as if he had something to say, but seeing that the eldest son Sheng Lanzi was silent, he said in his heart that this younger son has no knowledge, and what he wants to talk about at this time is not a big matter, so he didn't take it to heart.
As a result, I went back to the Sheng Mansion, and when I arrived at the Forbidden Snow Hall, the old lady and the old lady sat down, and the maid made ginseng tea to relieve fatigue, and the younger generations came to greet him, and the old lady realized that something was wrong: "What about the dew? What about Yuan'er? What about Qiao'er? And Qiao'er's children...... Didn't you say that their mother came back earlier?"
"......" A group of juniors were silent, and secretly looked at Sheng Lanci from the corner of their eyes.
Sheng Lanci said expressionlessly: "A few days ago, my mother-in-law was worried about my father-in-law, and I didn't feel at ease with the dew, so I took Qiao'er and Niang'er back to live for a few days." As for Yuan'er, he has a stubborn temperament, and now he is being handed over to Mizhen's people to be trained. ”
Old Madam Ming was a little unhappy when she heard this, and said: "Since it was a few days ago, then I have lived there for a few days, right? Even if it has only passed, why are my father-in-law and grandfather still on the side of my in-laws? Especially now that the old lady of my in-laws has come back well, do you still need to drink dew and a few of them to appease the old lady of the in-laws?
She didn't mean to provoke anything when she said this, but she really kept thinking about Sheng Weiqiao's mother and son, especially Rong Ruibin.
In addition to valuing the identity of Rong Sleeping Crane and having some intention to please, it is also that the Sheng family has not had a newborn child in the past two years, and Mrs. Ming is at this age, when she likes children, she has long wanted to hug her great-grandson.
As a result, I came back after a lot of hard work, and my granddaughter, mother and son didn't even see a shadow, isn't it a big disappointment?
It's just that she didn't know what to do, but Old Lady Sheng knew it, she was silent for a while, suppressed her complicated emotions, and changed the topic: "The Luo family is in the guest house now, right?" Lan Ci, you wait and bring De'er over to visit, I'm a little tired at this time, and when the banquet is held in the evening, I will invite them to come over to meet." ”
Who would have thought that when these words fell, the hall was silent again!
He frowned, had some bad premonition in his heart, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Ming was also taken aback, they were so old, they had lived in Chang'an for many years before, and they had been subjected to a lot of war, in the final analysis, wasn't it just that the old lady Sheng was most concerned about Sheng Weide, the eldest grandson, and she was most worried about Sheng Weirao, who had suffered losses.
At this time, he noticed that Sheng Weide's marriage seemed to have some twists and turns, and subconsciously leaned forward and asked Sheng Lanci: "Lan Ci, is the Luo family ...... Is there anything unsatisfactory?"
"Mother, this kid doesn't know. Sheng Lanci glanced at her, there was no emotion in her eyes, and her tone was calm and unwavering, "But the Luo family is not in the guest house now, they have booked an inn to live in." ”
Hearing this, the old lady was stunned, and said: "But I think it's not appropriate to live directly in our house to discuss marriage? Then you can clean up a separate courtyard for them to live in, how can you live in an inn? This seems that we don't pay much attention to other people? Is it a famous family in Jiangnan, De'er's daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, or the daughter of the head of the family, and it is De'er's future brother-in-law and two sons who come, how can you be lazy?"
If this was changed, Sheng Lanci would have greeted the Luo family properly without her, and there was no reason to let people go out to live in the guest house.
But at this moment, he was annoyed in his heart, and when he heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help sneering slightly, and said: "Mother, you told the second brother that these words are serious, after all, De'er is just the nephew of the child, you and the father and the second elder are here, and the second brother is the father, the child is more than the same in such a big matter, and it is spread out, people may not say anything!"
"Okay, just talk too much!" Old Madam Ming was stunned by his sudden face-turning, and before she could realize it, the anxious Old Lady Sheng had already whispered between her eyebrows, "Don't you see that the children are tired? Let's do this first, if there is anything to talk about later...... Lan Ci, come with me!"
said that he didn't give Mrs. Ming a chance to answer, and got up and walked in!
A group of people behind him looked at each other for a moment, Sheng Lanci hesitated for a while, and then followed the footsteps of Old Lady Sheng with an expressionless face.
The father and son went to the small flower hall behind the forbidden snow hall, this small flower hall hangs outside the main hall, only a zigzag corridor is connected to the front hall, although there are some sparse flowers and trees in the middle, but they are not high, it is clear at a glance, and it is most suitable for confidential conversations.
Old lady Sheng entered first, casually untied his robe and threw it on the screen not far away, and went to sit on it with a heavy heart, and saw that his son entered the door after a while, sighed, and didn't have the heart to see him salute, pointed to the seat in front of him, motioned for him to sit down, watched the old servant come over and serve tea and then withdrew to guard the door, groaned, and asked straight to the point: "Yinlu, Qiao'er, do you know my previous plan for Ruru?"
