Chapter 41: Enter the Door
(Coming soon to the second update~~~)
This time when I entered the city, Nian Fu saw the inconvenience of ancient transportation.
Xuancheng is just a town less than 100 miles away from Huai'an Town, if there is a car, it will take less than an hour, but they walked for two days. Along the way, I went over mountains and mountains, ups and downs, and people felt pain in their buttocks, not to mention, and they wanted to vomit.
It's really not hypocrisy, people who haven't been in ancient carriages won't understand. At this time, there are no rubber tires, all cars are wooden wheels with iron hoops, how high is the shock absorption performance? If it weren't for the hurry, she would rather walk!
However, Hou Fangyu is used to riding horses, and he is comfortable outside, but he saw that Nian Fuzu and Sun were turned pale, and he was a little careless, "Actually, there is still a waterway to go, but it is slower, or take a boat when you go back, it won't be so bumpy." ”
Pull it down! If you get dizzy when you take a car, won't you get dizzy when you take a boat? Nian Fu would rather have a shorter time and want to suffer less torture.
Actually, she wanted to go horseback riding, but she didn't. If you ride with that prospective son-in-law, you are afraid of shocking the jaws of others, so you have to say nothing.
Father Shi said politely, "It's okay, it's coming soon, it's okay." ”
Hou Fangyu glanced at his sister Nianfu again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
When he returned home, his grandfather would make their family affairs clear in front of everyone, and it would be useless for anyone to stop him from marrying his little daughter-in-law!
Although Daddy Shi's eyes were dazzled, he was not confused, and he had already seen that the stupid boy of the Hou family really liked his granddaughter in the past two days. If you want to get married in the future, you don't have to worry about the relationship between the young couple. It's just that they can do it? The old man had doubts and put a question mark in his heart.
When he walked to the gate of the city, the sun was already in the west, Hou Fangyu wanted to go home directly, but Father Shi said that he wanted to buy something, and it was not good to go to someone's house empty-handed, not to mention that he also took his granddaughter, so he wanted to stay in the inn for one night, and go to pay homage tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city, he saw that there was a Hou family's family guarding here. Seeing Hou Fangyu, he immediately surrounded him like the stars holding the moon, and said gossipingly, "Young master, you are finally back, why don't you ask the little one to go with you when you go out?" Mrs. Hurt said that she almost didn't hit us! ”
"Alright, alright!" Hou Fangyu grabbed a handful of silver and blocked the mouths of these people, and wanted to lead them to meet the ancestors of the Shi family.
But when those family members saw that Nian Fu's ancestors and grandsons were dressed shabbyly, they showed some contempt, and they reluctantly worshipped, but they were not sincere.
One of them said, "If you are here, let's go home together." How can there be a reason for guests to stay outside? ”
When Daddy Shi heard the word guest, his heart sank, and he was still about to resign, but there was a family member who went back to report the news to pick up the carriage of the Hou Mansion and warmly invited, "Madame heard that the old lady of the Shi family is also here, so please go back to the house!" ”
Father Shi was a little confused, these subordinates obviously intentionally or unintentionally avoided the title of their in-laws, showing their birth, but if they really didn't have half a thought, how could Mrs. Hou invite them back to the house so warmly?
Thinking about his own situation, the old man was still kind and thought about people for the better, and the guests went with them.
Nianfu was the first time he returned to the Hou family, so he couldn't help but take a serious look.
The coachman seemed to know her thoughts, and did not enter the house directly, but dragged their ancestors and grandchildren around the door of the Hou family.
If the Ouyang family's five-entry mansion is compared to a calm and introverted lady, then the Hou family is the domineering daughter of a rich family. It is located on the most prosperous street in Xuancheng, and there is an endless stream of guests.
Hou Fangyu looked at the fanfare at the door of his house, and he was a little embarrassed, and explained, "My family is usually not like this, this is because I want to hold a birthday banquet for my grandfather, so it is more grand." ”
Nianfu didn't say anything, and Father Shi said gently, "It should be." ”
The carriage turned a corner, and instead of letting them get off the door where the guests were going in and out, they went around to the secluded corner door at the back of the roof.
Hou Fangyu suddenly had a seizure, "Why do you park the car here?" Get back to the gate! ”
The coachman smiled, "The young master doesn't know, because there are many guests coming and going, it is inevitable that the guests will point their fingers when they go from the front, so it is better to go in from here, and you can go directly to the backyard, which is less troublesome." Let the guests come down, and the lady is still waiting inside. ”
Father Shi listened and hurriedly said, "That's it." Nianfu, let's get off. ”
Seeing that the old man had already gotten up and walked out, Hou Fangyu had no choice but to give up, but he drove the little guy who was going to come forward to help, personally set up a small ladder for their ancestors and grandchildren, and helped the two of them to come together.
Seeing that the corners of Nianfu's lips said a soft word of thanks, Hou Fangyu's heart was sweeter than honey. Leave the unhappiness just now, walk in front and personally lead their grandchildren into the door.
After passing through a hanging flower door, I saw a young woman in gorgeous clothes greet me and quipped, "Ouch, you can be regarded as looking forward to your golden phoenix back!" If you don't come back, your mother will pick it up in person. ”
Hou Fangyu was a little embarrassed, and turned around to introduce, "This is my third sister, who likes to joke the most." ”
The third aunt and grandmother of the Hou family walked over and took Nianfu's hand, "This is the little sister of the Mu family, right?" It's so beautiful. ”
Nianfu generously blessed her, "The third aunt and grandmother are good." ”
Hou Fangyu was stunned by such an obvious title, but Hou Sangu was very satisfied, "What a sensible girl, if my mother sees it, she will be happy." By the way, you must be tired from a long journey, right? Why don't you ask the old man to take my sister back to the room to rest first, wash her face or something, and see you again when you come back. ”
Hou Fangyu choked, didn't he say that his mother was waiting to see his daughter-in-law? Why did you let people go back to the room again? Father Shi had already nodded politely, "It's just that I'm tired and tired." ”
Looking at the dust on the two ancestors and grandchildren, Hou Fangyu thought about it and said, "Then you go back to the room to rest first, and I'll come back to see you." ”
Seeing that her younger brother didn't make any more trouble, Hou Sangu was also relieved, with a smile on her face, and personally sent them to the guest room. He patted his brother again, "Why don't you go back to the room to wash?" Look at this dirty, they've all become mud monkeys! ”
Hou Fangyu smiled and ran away, and soon Nianfu Zusun also arrived at the room arranged for them, a small courtyard that was quite secluded.
Hou Sangu brought them in and said with a smile, "Don't be surprised, there are many guests at home, and the front is full." It's a little remote, but it's a rare quiet. It's in the back house again, and it's just cleaned, but it's comfortable to live in. ”
Father Shi continued to smile politely, but Nianfu walked to the table, intentionally or unintentionally, stretched out his finger to wipe it next to a large vase on the table, and suddenly his fingers turned black.
She didn't seem to care much and patted her hands lightly in front of Hou Sangu, and then lifted the teapot and poured it down, the tea was full, even if it was half hot, it was not hot, and it was still overnight.
Nianfu didn't know, and brought the tea to Hou Sangu, "I'm tired of the third aunt and grandma leading the way, please take a sip of tea." ”
The smile on Hou Sangu's face froze, and after taking the tea, she scolded the little girl outside, "I can't even do this little thing, what's the use of raising you?" ”
Daddy Shi thought that this might just be an accident, so he wanted to come out to play a round, but when he saw Nianfu quietly waving his hand at him, Daddy Shi swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
At one moment, I saw four or five little girls coming in, not only in a panic, but also in a panic, not only with a rag to wipe the ashes, but also to go to the bed to change those bedding that seemed to be quite bright on the surface.
Seeing this, Daddy Shi's face sank by three points. Let his granddaughter help him to sit down in the hall, and say nothing.
Hou Sangu only felt really embarrassed and wanted to say something, but saw that the old man had closed his eyes, and Nianfu buried his head and didn't pay attention at all.
Hou Sangu couldn't go away, so she had to stand there, directing the little girls to clean up the house carefully again, change the bedding and hot water, and then stepped forward and smiled, "It's all cleaned up, why don't you rest first?" ”
Father Shi nodded, "It's hard work." ”
Hou Sangu was blessed and left like a gust of wind.
Nianfu and Grandpa glanced at each other, but they invariably staggered their eyes again, with mixed tastes.
After waiting for a while, Nian Fu said, "Grandpa, I'll fetch water for you to wash your face." ”
The old man hummed softly, but there was a clear sense of helplessness in the old man's voice.
Over there, Hou Sangu had already walked quickly to Mrs. Hou, "That girl is not stupid, nor is she easy to deal with." ”
Mrs. Hou sneered after asking what happened, "Even if there are some clever and small means? No matter how good he is, he is just a tofu seller. You can bring people again at dinner, and I will make my own arrangements. By the way, let people watch the little master, don't let him get too close to that girl! ”
Before the words fell, someone shouted outside the window, "What do you mean I am not allowed to get too close to people?" ”
As he spoke, Hou Fangyu had already opened the curtain and broke in, relying on the doting family he had always loved, and said angrily, "I thought you were willing to accept her, and I wanted to come to thank you, but I didn't expect you to beat people behind your back!" I don't care, anyway, she is my grandfather's daughter-in-law, whether you like it or not, I will marry her! ”
Mrs. Hou was angry and angry, "Did you yell at your mother like this?" ”
But in the end, he was a little weak-hearted, so after he yelled, he couldn't be fierce to his son anymore, so he only took the people to vent his anger, "Are you all dead?" Not even a briefing? There are no rules! ”
Hou Sangu has always been tactful, otherwise Mrs. Hou would not have asked this daughter to come back as a helper alone, seeing this, she stepped forward to play a round, "Little brother, you heard the difference, my mother is not what you think." Although you and the sister of the Mu family are engaged, after all, they are an unmarried couple, wouldn't it be gossip to meet all the time? Even we have to avoid suspicion, so as to save her little girl's embarrassment. ”
After all, she is her mother, and Hou Fangyu doesn't want to think too badly of Mrs. Hou, and when she heard what the third sister said, her arrogance disappeared by three points.
Hou Sangu smiled and pushed him in front of her mother, "My mother just said that she would clean up a good banquet at night to pick up the wind for people, so you came to mess around, why don't you go over and apologize?" ”
Hou Fangyu was overjoyed at this time, anyway, he was the eldest at home, and he had no skin and no face since he was a child, even if he was in front of his sister, he was embarrassed to roll into Mrs. Hou's arms.
Mrs. Hou's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and she pushed him away with a smile, "How old are you, and you still look like a child!" ”
After getting tired of it for a while, she sent her son away, and Mrs. Hou asked her to take out a piece of good clothing in the box and give it to her daughter, "I heard that this material was sent to Beijing for the nobles, and your father finally got two pieces, and your brother took one piece naughtily, and only this one piece remained." If I give it to you sisters, it won't be enough. You quietly take it and make a new garment, but don't say that I gave it to you. ”
Hou Sangu knew that Lu Dao was a reward for herself, and she accepted it unceremoniously.
In a blink of an eye, it was dark, and she went to invite the ancestors and grandchildren of the Shi family to the banquet. [bookid=1698933,bookname=《囍囍》]
