Yanxi Hall is the center of the entire Weiguo Mansion, after more than 100 years of care by three generations of the Lin family, it is magnificent, revealing a kind of family spirit everywhere. What's more, the Lin family was not an unknown person in the previous dynasty, and it can be called a hairpin family, but it was only in this dynasty that it really entered the top family.

Lin Liu, the old lady in charge of the Weiguo Mansion, sat in the first place, because it was the lord of the Humuri Mansion, four daughters-in-law and a group of grandchildren. They each whispered and laughed, but it was obvious that everyone was looking at the door a little absent-mindedly.

The grandmother, who had just been in office for less than a year, moved her body slightly, and the old lady was sympathetic to her pregnancy and saved her from morning and dusk, but she remembered her mother's warning before she got married. So she still came to say goodbye every day, and the old lady, mother-in-law, and husband treated her better.

On weekdays, the old lady doesn't keep her much, so she asks her to go back to rest, but today is the day when the uncle and the eldest princess who have been out of exile for nine years come back, how can she, the nephew, be absent.

Lin Jinyan, the eldest girl next to the grandmother, asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go to rest first, I'll talk to my grandmother." "This is the eldest son of her brother-in-law, and the eldest girl naturally cares about it, not to mention that her brother asked her to take care of one or two before. She is the only one who can say this, she has been raised under the old lady's knees since she was a child, and her feelings are different from others.

The eldest grandmother patted the back of the sister-in-law's hand and thanked her for her kindness: "It's okay, big" Just as she was about to say something, the eldest grandmother heard the maid announce the arrival of the eldest young master and the ninth young master, and wondered in her heart, the third young master and the sixth young master of the long room went out of Beijing a month ago, and the old lady sent the eldest son of the second room to the eldest young master and the ninth young master of the sixth room to the dock to greet the long room and the party, which is also the old lady's preference for the two grandchildren, so that they can leave a good impression on the long room. It's just that now there are only two people back home, where is the big house?

Not only the eldest grandmother thought of this, but the old lady also looked at the two grandchildren who entered the house with a puzzled face. Some of the children and grandchildren below also looked at the two of them. Without waiting for the old lady to ask out loud, the Ninth Young Master, who had been waiting all morning, said to the old lady in a dissatisfied tone, "Uncle, they have entered the palace." ”

Everyone didn't seem to hear the inappropriateness in the Ninth Young Master's tone, and their faces were not shocked, only one or two of them had their eyes flashing and returning to normal. If the eldest girl is the eyeball of the old lady, then the ninth young master is the lifeblood of the old lady. Who dares to provoke, not to mention that the old lady is still sitting on it, even if the old lady is not present, no one dares to say to the face that the ninth young master is not.

"But I'm tired, come and rest." The old lady beckoned to the Ninth Young Master lovingly, and the Ninth Young Master stepped forward and sat next to the old lady in a few steps, pouting, "I waited on the dock for more than two hours, and finally waited for the eldest uncle and them, but suddenly a group of palace people came, and the eldest uncle followed them into the palace." "The frustration is palpable. He didn't want to go to the dock to pick up people at all, but the old lady insisted, so he had to go with the lobby brother. Although there is a resting place on the dock, but the conditions are simple, where can the ninth young master with brocade clothes and food stand it, so he wants to go to the restaurant and wait. Brother Lobby thought that the restaurant was too far away, in case the uncle arrived, he couldn't come over in time, and he refused because of his indecency. Now that he hasn't received anyone, the Ninth Young Master is very angry in his heart.

The ninth young master's father, the sixth master, was dissatisfied, glared at his son and said, "Go and pick up your eldest uncle, and I wronged you, didn't you!" ”

The Ninth Young Master reflexively shrank his body, and his face was also shocked, and the old lady also felt that there was something inappropriate in the words of the good grandson, and wanted to mention it in private, but now that he saw that the Ninth Young Master was like a frightened rabbit, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said to the sixth master, "Zhi'er just said a few words casually, you need to shout like this!" ”

"Mother, I" The sixth old man was cheeky and wanted to explain, and looked at the ninth young master who was shrinking beside the old lady to avoid his gaze, and under the eyes of the old lady's calf, he snorted twice and closed his mouth.

Everyone is used to this kind of drama, it is nothing more than the sixth master training his son, and the old lady protecting his grandson, and in the end, the sixth master died down without exception.

"Her Royal Highness the princess and the county lord are fine, how about your uncle and your tenth and thirteenth brothers?" The second master sitting on the Taishi's chair asked the eldest young master, he grew up behind Lin Jinhai since he was a child, and he didn't miss this brother for nine years, so he couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Grandmother!" The Ninth Young Master looked at the old lady puzzled, his brows furrowed slightly.

The old lady hurriedly let go of the hand holding the arm of the ninth young master, her face was slightly unnatural, and she couldn't help but glance at the second master, seeing that he seemed to be thinking all about the eldest young master who was replying, her heart was relieved and sour.

The Ninth Young Master saw that the old lady didn't coax him as before, and was a little aggrieved, but he was sensitive to the old lady's abnormal expression, so he also sat there obediently and kept silent.

"The son and the ninth brother asked the uncle and aunt and the county lord's sister to say goodbye, the uncle and aunt, the county lord's sister and the two younger brothers are in good spirits, and the uncle said, maybe when we will return home, so we don't have to wait. He also asked his grandchildren to ask his grandmother for his sins and to come at a later time to say goodbye. The eldest young master said respectfully to the old lady.

After getting the message from the elder brother, he let go of his thoughts, the second master smiled with his beard, the nature of politicians was restored, and the officials who had always returned to Beijing to report on their work had to wait for the emperor to summon him, and the shorter the waiting time, the more solemn the holy grace was. Although Lin Jinhai was summoned that day, a big reason was the eldest princess of Chonghua, but the eldest princess of Chonghua represents their Weiguo Mansion, the more favored Chonghua is, the more stable their status of the Weiguo Mansion will be, Chonghua and Lin Jinhai have not been in the capital these years, and some people are about to climb on their heads. The long house is home, how many people in this capital should not be able to sleep. He quietly glanced at the people in the house, but I was afraid that there were some people here who would not be able to sleep well.

The old lady smiled, "What do you say, the princess has not returned for five years, the emperor and the queen mother will inevitably miss it, we have time to meet in the future from our family, and we don't have to rush back." "That's what I said, but it's a little inappropriate for the princess to go to her mother's house first when she comes back like this, but who makes her mother's house hard, and the old lady can't say anything, she has always had nothing to say to the princess and daughter-in-law of the long house.

Yang Wanyue held the tea to the old lady and said with a smile, "This is also the filial piety of the eldest uncle to grandma!" ”

Hearing this, the old lady's face softened a little, and she was willing to say this, which was also a part of her heart for being a mother. took the tea handed over by Yang Wanyue and patted her hand gently. asked the second wife, Lin Zhao, "Is the princess's mansion ready?" This has been walking on the water for a month, it must be tired, if you can't rest well when you go home, how can it be good? ”

The second lady reported to the old lady last night, but it should have been the old lady who asked about the situation of the long room, but the old lady's heart was hung on the ninth young master, and the second old lady was more than the second master did on his behalf, and the old lady was always bad at ignoring the long room, so she took other words.

The second wife smiled and said, "Mother rest assured, everything is ready." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, looked around at everyone and said softly, "You don't have to wait here with me, just come over later." Seeing that the faces of several people were obviously relaxed, they understood a little bit after a turn of thought. The fourth lady was weak, and she couldn't stand it after waiting in Yanxi Hall for more than an hour, and the old lady didn't want her to have a good day, so she let the fourth lady go back. The children of the fourth room are worried, but it is not good to be absent at such a moment, otherwise they will make up something for people, so they have to press it. As soon as she heard it, she couldn't help but have a little emotion on her face, and let the old lady look at it. "Mother Hu, bring two copies of the official swallow brought by Yan En to the four girls." He said softly to the four girls: "Boiling porridge with bird's nest is the most suitable for the frail people, so that your mother can take care of it." ”

The fourth girl, Lin Jinchan, was a little unsure of the old lady's thoughts, she had always known that their four rooms were concubines, and because the old lady wanted her niece to be the fourth daughter-in-law, she was later intervened by the eldest princess of Chonghua, and she was indifferent to her mother for so many years. But today, those who don't know think that her mother is the old lady's daughter-in-law.

She knew that Guanyan, the third brother Lin Yanen brought back from the palace specifically for the old man and the old lady, and the old lady of the Manchu Mansion gave Lin Jinyan, the eldest daughter of the second room, Lin Jinmiao, the eighth daughter of the sixth room, and Yang Wanyue, the cousin, who were about to get married, and the sixth wife of the daughter-in-law and niece.

"Jinchan thanked her grandmother for her mother's reward." The four girls bowed their knees and thanked the old lady. The other children in the fourth room, regardless of their concubines, also thanked the old lady with the movements of the four girls.

The old lady sent others away, but the second wife was left, and everyone was accustomed to it, and the second wife presided over the feed, and often had to report family affairs to the old lady. The sixth wife, Xiaolin Liu, glanced at the old lady unwillingly, and the brocade in her hand was clenched tightly.

Chengjue is a big house, but the eldest princess of Chonghua has a princess's mansion, and the affairs of the country's mansion are in charge of the second wife. If it's not too much, it will turn a blind eye, after all, the Liu family is also the old lady's mother's family, but the Liu family's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. The eldest princess of Chonghua is not short of money, but it does not mean that she is willing to be treated as a fat sheep in such an endless pit, most of this business belongs to her son. It is not soft to take the silver from the public to supplement the mother's family, but the dowry and silver are guarded to death. So Mrs. Six lost her stewardship.

The eldest princess of Chonghua has not been in the capital these years, the sixth wife has not thought about re-emerging from the rivers and lakes, and the benefits of the housekeeper have been tasted, it will make people want to stop, thinking of the second wife's housekeeper for nearly 20 years, the sixth wife is unwilling, they are all from the outside, why is it so favoritism, but the old lady is unwilling to stand up for her, she can only have a weak heart.
