Yang Anqin doesn't like Tingfang.
Who's sister-in-law knows. The Chen family is a soft-eared person, and when she married into the Chen family, she coaxed the Chen family to turn around with just a few things. When she first got married, it was certainly much easier to coax her sister-in-law than her mother-in-law. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be easier to coax than I imagined, if you give her a little benefit, she will treat you with all her heart, the most sincere. After a long time, I have a little affection, not all to please my in-laws. The two sisters-in-law have not met for more than ten years, but they often exchange letters. The information revealed between the lines of Chen's words was Tingfang's hidden traitor in her eyes. I'm afraid that the Chen family will suffer a loss and still don't know, so naturally I have a bad impression.
Ting Yao looked at her aunt's eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised to see that her aunt was very unkind to Ting Fang. Could it be that he recognized the wrong person and recognized Tingfang as Tingwu? Yue's didn't know why Yang Anqin didn't like Tingfang, so he pretended not to see it, introduced the children in the family, and led Yang Anqin to the old lady's room.
Yang Anqin turned back to a smiling face, took Yue's hand, praised Ting Shan, and said: "Before entering the gate, the two brothers asked their uncle to stop them, and when they turned around, they will ask him to kowtow to you, but I don't know if my aunt has any good things to reward." โ
Yue Shi said with a smile: "I've prepared it for a long time, I see that you are in a hurry, and no one is willing to lose my nephew." โ
Laughing all the way to the upper room, the old lady got up to greet her: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, don't come to harm?" โ
Yang Anqin hurriedly greeted the old lady: "Please โกโก the old lady." โ
The old lady stiffened Yang Anqin's hand and let her sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law, I couldn't sleep happily last night, and I only squinted at the fourth watch." Since you had something to say yesterday, I really don't allow anyone to call her. Therefore she is still asleep, so go back and talk again. Let me tell you first, our house is different from what you saw that year, she can't live in the east courtyard, and a cross courtyard has been added. It's your sister in front. The husband's study and the children's school are clean yards. Although you are a little younger, you are so affectionate, and it is convenient for your brother to go to school. It's just a small place, don't be surprised by my uncle's wife. โ
Yang Anqin said with a smile: "The old lady is too modest, your family is still young, and my family's house in Beijing is actually a horse shed." Our old lady said that it was very inconvenient at home, and asked me to be cheeky and beg you to take it in. โ
"You see," said the old lady, laughing, "I can't please you." My brother is a good learner, and he also sets an example for our children. โ
Yang Anqin hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare to compare, ours just knows a few words, and we want more advice from his brothers." โ
The old lady said: "Learn from each other's strengths, and you will be a classmate." โ
Yang Anqin went straight to live in Ye Mansion just so that her son could have classmates, and the old lady's words were exactly what she wanted.
While talking, the eldest man came in with two nephews. Ting Fang raised his eyes and looked at it, the eldest son Chen Qian was very steady, and he looked like a standard scholar; The second son, Chen Gong, was much smarter, his eyes were boneless, and he glanced straight at them, eighty percent of them were looking for playmates. It seems that Tingji has a companion. Seeing each other once, the Ye Mansion is okay, there are only three guests in total. The two brothers Chen Qian and Chen Gong were dizzy and dizzy, and hurriedly remembered what was important.
The old lady looked at the two children of the Chen family and couldn't stop saying yes, looking at Chen Qian for a while, looking at Chen Gong for a while, and said, "The true spirit of the long!" It's a sight to behold. The second wife hurriedly opened the warehouse to find a few pieces of good material to tailor clothes with her nephews, and the previous preparations were more calm, which could not match their good looks. โ
Yang Anqin said with a smile: "It's too much to lift them up, how can it compare to your grandson." โ
The old lady said, "It's all good, it's all good." Don't laugh at my uncle's wife, I'm old and love to be lively. When I look at a room full of children, I rejoice. โ
"Your house is full of children and grandchildren, and it should rejoice." Yang Anqin said, "I'll be closer to you, so that I can be blessed, and I will be as happy as you in the future." โ
The old lady said: "Look at you, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you are getting more and more generous." Let's go back and have a small banquet, let's sit together, and I will also touch your spirit. โ
Yang Anqin clapped his hands and smiled: "I can't ask for it!" โ
Yue said: "The eldest sister-in-law is in the dust, I'm afraid she is tired, the old lady let her rest, can we get together again in the evening?" โ
"Yes," said the old lady busily, "look at me, I am too old to care about my head and tail." Go and clean up, if there is anything inconvenient, just look for your niece's daughter, she has been learning to be a housekeeper for a long time, and her yard is prepared by her. Like your Chen family, it's okay! "The Ye family has raised so many slaves, and every yard is clean, only the people who live in it have a bunk, and the people who don't live in it are empty. It is said that it is to decorate the yard, but to add daily necessities. At this time, it is not compared to later generations, and everyone has different habits, and now most people use only a few things. A little mention is enough. Nine is not far from ten, and it is the aesthetics that are tested. There is no shortage of aesthetic Tingyao, the old lady clearly praises Tingyao, and actually praises Yang Anqin.
Yang Anqin naturally understood, looked at Ting Yao, and followed the topic with a smile: "It's still an old lady who knows how to tune. Teach people, look at my niece and daughter, I don't dare to admit it. Since the old lady has something to say, I'm really going to take a look at the yard? โ
The old lady smiled and said, "Go ahead, stop by and see your sister, she is just afraid to wait for you." โ
Yang Anqin said that she was going, and she waited for the next person to give the gift to say goodbye.
The relatives of the big house have their own big room to entertain, and the task of the second and third rooms has been completed, so only Ting Yao and others led Yang Anqin's mother and son to settle in the east courtyard. The east courtyard was quiet, thinking that Chen had not woken up. Hu's mother heard the movement and greeted her at the gate, and she was about to kowtow when she saw Yang Anqin. Yang Anqin hurriedly supported her and asked in a low voice, "How is Aman?" โ
Aman is Chen's maiden name, and she was called that every day when she was in the Chen family. When Mother Hu heard Yang Anqin ask, she also lowered her voice and said, "I was happy yesterday, but I was late." Thinking that you were not an outsider, the slave didn't wake her up. โ
Yang Anqin nodded: "Yes." Then he asked, "How is your brother?" โ
"It's okay, it's just a little thin."
In a word, Yang Anqin knew that her nephew was not very good, her heart was heavy, and her face was not revealed, but she said: "You go and serve her, I just have the eldest girl with me." The nephews also went to rest. We'll talk again in the evening. โ
Seeing that Yang Anqin had made arrangements, everyone retired one after another.
Yang Anqin held Ting Yao's hand and entered the residence prepared for her. Because it is a cross-hospital, the place is not very large. There are three upper rooms, three east rooms, and no west wing. The mother and son live just right.
Ting Yao introduced: "My aunt will live first, and if it is inconvenient, she will change to the big yard behind the garden." โ
Yang Anqin said: "That's enough, there are only a few of us." I have visited your house before, and the back of the yard is good, far away from you, and I don't live in a fragrant place. "What's more, borrowing a relative's house, living so far away, you have to go through the whole garden to talk to your sister-in-law, and the action is known, but it is awkward. It's better to live in the same yard with my sister-in-law, and be more comfortable.
Ting Yao smiled: "Did my aunt see that door?" โ
Yang Anqin looked along Ting Yao's hand, only to see that the main room was facing a door, and asked with a smile, "What is that end?" โ
"Open the door is our school, and the east and west are opened. There is a small door on the east side, where the brothers and sisters enter and exit the next room. We were lazy, and in the past, we all went directly from across the courtyard. In the future, it will be convenient for my brother and brother to go to school. It was precisely because of this convenience that he had the cheekiness to leave his aunt in the hospital. โ
Nothing is more important than reading, and Mengzi's mother moved three times so that Mencius could be closer to the aroma of books. Now living in the back of the school, whether it has actual effect or not, I am happy to look at it. Yang Anqin was very satisfied: "In the future, you will make an appointment with your brother and brother as usual." Don't take a detour just to get me in. Let me ask you one more question, how did you go to school? โ
"From the beginning of the hour to the beginning of the afternoon, it is two hours. In the middle, students are allowed to eat tea and rest every half hour. Ting Yao thought for a while and said, "Regardless of anything else, our Mr. Kang is very talented, and my mother has prepared a bundle for Brother Qian and Brother Gong, waiting for tomorrow. They went to see them in person. โ
"Hey, what is she worried about?" Yang Anqin smiled, "You only have half a day? What do you do in the second half of the night? โ
Ting Yao said: "How can it only be half a day, I have lunch at noon, take a break, and in the second half of the day, my brother will practice calligraphy and do homework." I won't be busy until dinner. Our girl's house was idle, and in the second half of the day, we either did needlework or joked together. It's just us four girls, and we usually practice calligraphy with our brothers. โ
Yang Anqin's eyes flashed, and she still said business: "I went to Beijing this year for your eldest cousin's exam." There is a house at home, but there are not so many classmates who want to come to your house. The imperial examination is hard, and I am afraid that it will bother you for a long time. โ
Ting Yao said with a smile: "What did my aunt say, teaching is mutually beneficial, and I am still looking forward to the cousins of the second uncle's family coming together." โ
"They are still young," Yang Anqin said, "I didn't want to bring the fifth child here, but he was very skinny, and he brought a restrained temperament, and the wet nurse in the province blindly accommodated him and developed bad habits." But let's gossip later, but you send a competent man to lend me, and I'll take the children to wash up first, and you can go and rest. Today. You old ladies must have a family feast, and you will have to talk privately in the evening. Look at you. Mother, if she wakes up, I will know the news. โ
Ting Yao was inconvenient to disturb her aunt, so she sent Tan's mother over and went to help the old lady prepare a family banquet.
Ting Fang returned home full of doubts, and Chen fell asleep, so he had to go back to the room first. She hadn't seen her aunt, so why did she offend her? Can't Chen say that she is not good? Is there any misunderstanding in between? After thinking about it for a long time, I had no clue, so I simply threw it away. I don't go to school today, it's rare to be free, she is an idle person, thinking that it is not yet the time to practice words every day, so she turns out the chess pieces and plays music against the book.
Narcissus came in from outside, and when she saw her girl and the old monk in her place, she hurriedly called: "Girl, my wife is awake." My uncle has gone to the upper room, do you want to go and see it? โ
Ting Fang didn't raise his head: "What are you looking at?" Their sister-in-law hasn't seen each other for many years, and it's just a belly full of things to say, what kind of mess are we going to wrap up? โ
"But the second girl has already gone."
Ting Fang was stunned: "Huh? โ
