The Lin family greeted her outside the gate, no matter how unwilling she was, Tu Qionghua was also the second daughter of the Tu family. www.biquge.info As the eldest sister-in-law and the mother of the Tu family, she had to come out and wait outside the door with her two daughters-in-law.

After a while, the carriage of the Xu family drove to the door.

When the carriage stopped, the maid in front of the door brought a small sedan stool and put it in front of the door, and a maid in a lake green skirt came down first, and reached out to pull out an old woman in her fifties from the car. She was dressed in a 10,000-character autumn carved silk cloud brocade shirt, her gray hair was pulled up, and she combed a dignified bun, with a bat-pattern jade gold hairpin in the middle of the bun, and a royal blue Tucui peacock hairpin inserted on the side. The face is kind and energetic, with only visible wrinkles on the forehead. Apparently well-maintained. He wore a golden-brown satin and ruby forehead on his forehead, and a red gold tourmaline bracelet on his hand.

She is smiling, rich and dignified, and her gestures are full of nobility. Another maid came out of the car, and the two maids picked her up on the left and right.

"Presumably this is the second sister. Lin greeted him with a smile.

This is so different from what she imagined, she thought that even if she was a noble girl in the capital, but after marrying a merchant woman, she must be full of copper smell, not to mention that she also lost her husband! It should be a haggard, old and tired old woman. They were all grandmothers, and they looked so much younger than her. At the moment, there was a lot of jealousy in my heart, and the smile was a little far-fetched.

Old Madam Xu saw her emotions in her eyes, but she didn't expose them, she still smiled and saluted, and said, "My sister has seen my eldest sister-in-law." Over the years, it has all relied on the filial piety of the eldest sister-in-law, and the younger sister is really ashamed. ”

Seeing that she spoke modestly, Lin's mood was better. Introduced the daughters-in-law Li and Yan to Mrs. Xu, and the Li and Yan saluted together and called: "I've seen my little aunt." ”

After the two of them met, Lin asked, "What about Wanzhen and Wenyu?"

Mrs. Xu glanced back, Xu Wanzhen was holding Xu Wenyu, and the two were getting out of the car. He raised his voice and said: "Zhen'er, Yu'er, come and meet your eldest aunt, eldest cousin, and little cousin." ”

A few people looked over and saw a slender girl standing tall, holding a little boy carved in pink in her left hand, followed by a maid and a nurse who were serving. Hearing this, the two stepped forward and said in unison: "Wanzhen/Wenyu has seen the eldest uncle, the eldest cousin, and the youngest cousin. "Xu Wenyu is only five years old, and he is decently acting and is loved.

Li and his sister and brother saw each other, and their hearts were quite touched. Her mother-in-law often complained in front of her, saying how rich the Xu family was, how stingy they were, and how they refused to help their mother's family as a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan Province. This time, the Xu family went to Beijing and belittled the ancestors and grandchildren of the Xu family to worthless, saying that the family had never seen the world. But she has seen Xu Changzong's father and son in the third room, and it is not as unbearable as her mother-in-law said. This time, she saw her aunt and Xu Wanzhen's sister and brother, all three of whom were unworldly, which made her suspicious of her mother-in-law's statement.

Yan's son Tu Ruizhang is the same age as Xu Wenyu, and when he saw the pink Xu Wenyu, he couldn't help but feel a little more fond, smiled and talked to him, and asked him if it was fun to take a boat? Xu Wenyu saw her for the first time, and he didn't answer, and replied in a milky voice.

Several people saw the ceremony, and Su Liangzhi also got down from the carriage behind. Mrs. Xu introduced: "This is Wanzhen's little uncle, who is called 'Su Xiao Divine Doctor' by the people in Jiangnan Province. I specially invited him to come with him to treat and recuperate for his father. ”

Lin glanced at him suspiciously, such a young miracle doctor, I'm afraid that he is another one who eats white rice.

Su Liangzhi felt her gaze and didn't care. He followed his father to practice medicine, and because of his age, he was questioned a lot. It's just a suspicion that it's a look, it's much more serious than this, and he smiled and saluted.

The mother-in-law servants brought by Mrs. Xu unloaded the luggage and placed them by themselves.

A few people entered the gate, and several soft sedan chairs and mothers-in-law carrying sedan chairs were already waiting in the door.

The entire "Songxi Academy" occupies a large area, divided into two, and the inner courtyard where the Tu family is located is not small. From the gate to the hall, quite a distance, I used a soft sedan car to walk.

Xu Wanzhen sat in the sedan chair, and Sang Zi followed behind the sedan chair, all the way through the hall into the room. I saw that the courtyard was based on bluestone and blue bricks, and the black tile and gray walls were mountains, and the flowers and trees were sparse and pine. Although it is not as delicate and meticulous as Suzhou Xujiayuanzi, it is simple and generous, simple and dignified, which makes people open-minded.

When they arrived at the hall, several people got off the sedan chair.

Thinking that she was about to see her old father who had been absent for many years, Mrs. Xu couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, and walked a few steps to the front of the hall. At a glance, he saw his father on the throne, tears flashed in his eyes, and he bowed to the ground and said, "Unfilial daughter Qionghua, I have seen my father." ”

Xu Wanzhen hurriedly followed, took Xu Wenyu in Liu's mother's hand, bowed to the ground behind Mrs. Xu, and said, "Wanzhen/Wenyu, I've seen my great-grandfather." ”

When Mrs. Tu saw the three ancestors and grandchildren, her eyes were a little moist, and she hurriedly said, "Get up, get up." ”

Wu Niangzi stepped forward to pick up Mrs. Xu, and Xu Wanzhen and Xu Wenyu followed suit.

Old lady Tu sighed: "Qionghua, I never thought that my father would be able to see you again." ”

Old Madam Xu choked up and said, "Father, what are you talking about?" Qionghua will be by your side every day. Su Liangzhi said: "Father, this is Wanzhen's little uncle, who has good medical skills, I ask him to go to Beijing together to help your old man regulate his body." ”

Seeing that his daughter was so filial, Mrs. Tu said cheerfully: "Okay, good!" and said to Su Liangzhi: "Since you are here, you are not in a hurry, you can live in peace first." ”

Tu Qiongyu stepped forward, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Second sister." ”

"Sister, it's been a long time, how are you doing?"

Tu Qiongyu nodded and said, "It's good." Qingyang often writes back, and the two of them get along, and I feel at ease. ”

Tu Hongyi said: "The second sister came from afar, and she must be tired. It's still a long time, so you can talk slowly, and after seeing the ceremony first, let's have lunch. ”

Everyone in the Tu family was already hungry, so they hurriedly greeted the ceremony. Xu Wanzhen met her eldest cousin Tu Bowen, her second cousin Tu Bosi, and her eldest cousin Tu Manfen, her second cousin Tu Manzhen, her eldest cousin Tu Ruiming, and her second cousin Tu Ruizhang.

For Xu Wanzhen and Xu Wenyu, most of the elders were present, and the two received a lot of meeting gifts. Xu Wenyu was holding a bunch of purses, and he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.

Mrs. Xu also gave two nephews and daughters-in-law, nieces and grandnephews as meeting gifts.

Lin arranged to set up a meal in the front hall, and a group of people walked to the front hall.

Tu Manzhen tugged at her sister's sleeve, and the two walked at the end, she said: "Sister, I think the cousin of the Xu family has an outstanding appearance, not as you said." "When they greeted each other before, the older generation was talking, and their focus was on Xu Wanzhen, who was their generation.

I thought I would see a rough and unbearable woman, but Xu Wanzhen walked in with light steps, and her gestures were all in order. This made Tu Manzhen's impression of her greatly changed.
