Chapter 34: I Met My Grandmother
I saw two good-looking maids standing outside the door in obedience, and when they saw someone coming, one of them went in to inform the other person to greet them, which was a hundred times better than the late Mo Wenyuan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info No wonder Helian Zisang always left a sentence: "Is this the daughter taught by Shangshufu?" The right sentence "Is this how Shangshufu teaches people?" She now realizes how "alternative" she is compared to the people in Shangshufu.
After a while the maid came out and let them in, and the old woman went ahead and lifted the curtain and let the two in.
I saw an old lady with silver hair and a relatively young middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, and there were also several men and women sitting below, except for the mother and second sister who had seen in the Hou Mansion before, Du Chi didn't know any of them.
But the two people sitting on the throne were very recognizable, and the silver-haired old lady had red eyes when she saw Twilight, and she wanted to cry without crying, showing such an obvious expression that Twilight guessed that this should be her original owner's grandmother. Although the middle-aged man next to him was wearing civilian clothes, his face was full of majesty and unspoken, and the temperament of an official on his body was obvious, and he should be her original owner's father.
In addition to Mrs. Shangshu and her second sister, there were several girls and boys younger than her sitting next to her. The boy looked to be about ten years old, and when he saw Twilight looking at him, he glared at him viciously, and then hugged Mrs. Shangshu's arm, and there was a smug provocation in his eyes. There were three girls younger than her, the eldest being twelve years old, and the younger being more than four years old. Twilight couldn't help but sigh for the fertility of the ancients, and it was not obvious on his face.
Chen'er said that except for her grandmother, everyone else in Shangshu Mansion was not very good to her, she was the kind of poor worm who was treated like a concubine in an ordinary family, and was not favored and often bullied. Otherwise, her father would not have agreed to the Hou Mansion's proposal so simply, and the three dynasties did not reply and did not see anyone to write a worried letter.
Twilight and Helian Zisan greeted the elders present, and then asked the subordinates to bring up those meeting gifts, those gifts were prepared by the sister-in-law, Twilight didn't know anything, fortunately, there was a mother-in-law in charge of the gifts, and everyone's gifts were ready and would remind Twilight who the gift should be for.
After the meeting ceremony, everyone present was in a good mood, and Twilight Chi listened to them say some superficial kind words, all of which praised Helian Zisang's appearance, how talented Yu Xuanang and so on, Twilight Chi complained in her heart, she didn't know that her husband was such a good person.
The shamelessness of this ancient man is really unmatched, and now all kinds of flattery is not because there is a Hou Mansion behind Helian Zisang as a background? If they didn't laugh at Helian Zisang behind their backs for how unbearable and unskilled, they didn't believe it when they were killed, and if Helian Zisang didn't have the Hou Mansion as a background, they would definitely be arrogant and ignore people, and they couldn't tell how to say that he was not. The faces of these ancients, Twilight has watched a lot in TV series, but the immersive feeling is different, it's really a capital costume!
"Silly girl, what are you still standing there doing? Come, sit next to my grandmother. With a kind smile on her face, the old lady finally beckoned to Twilight, and in full view of everyone, Twilight stubbornly left Helian Zisang and walked over and sat down.
Through the mouths of Gu Liang Ruozi and others, the old lady also knew that it was not easy for Twilight to marry in the past, but it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so she could only teach Twilight to look away, so as not to lose everyone's demeanor.
"Don't stand still, sit here, the family doesn't have to be restrained." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also smiled at Helian Zisang, beckoned him to sit under him, and continued: "I heard that the virtuous son-in-law was injured a few days ago? How is your body recovering now? ”
After hearing that the son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department was beaten and couldn't get out of bed for several months, the old man of the Criminal Department was furious and finally sued in front of the Shengshang, and the attitude of the Shengshang obviously shielded the Hou Mansion, and even scolded the Criminal Department in the name of improper discipline and told him to take care of his son, so that many people saw the jokes, he was not only one of them, but also the one who laughed the loudest!
As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he often doesn't deal with the Criminal Department very much, either the Ministry of Rites can't get used to the unreasonableness of their Criminal Department, or the Criminal Department doesn't look down on their Ministry of Rites, but they can't help each other, except for earning some face verbally, the other party will not take any practical action at all. And this time, I saw that the Criminal Department suffered a loss, which was really happy!
Later, I learned that it was his son-in-law who injured people, and after knowing the reason, I felt that this notorious son-in-law had a very good appetite for him, and he changed his previous prejudice against Helian Zisang, and liked it very much! He has to abide by the rules and disciplines in his life, and many people in the court are not used to his rigid appearance, but there are also many people who appreciate him.
But no one knows that his heart is actually more yearning for an indulgent life, but he is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, who pays the most attention to etiquette and etiquette. He actually has some jealousy of the Criminal Department, why can the Criminal Department dare to come at will with some soldiers in his hands? is obviously a first-class official, but he wants to stick to the rules, and the slightest mistake is a miss?
And the people his son-in-law offends are all people he is not used to, and the other party can't do anything to his son-in-law, but his son-in-law can block them at will! It's so good to have such a person to help you get angry!
If Twilight knew that her father had such thoughts, she would definitely try to instigate Helian Zisan to turn the capital upside down, so that she could be vigorous and wanton, so that her cheap father would know what it means to be a scourge that everyone hates.
Later, everyone moved to eat, and then Helian Zisang was taken to the front yard by Gu Liang. Mrs. Shangshu took her pair of children and left first with a lot of chores, and the only thing left was the four-year-old girl who was raised by the old lady's side, and later she was also sleepy and wanted to take a nap.
The old lady took Twilight's hand and talked about the past, from whether Helian Zisang was good to her to the details of her life in the Hou Mansion, and then from her body to the problem of birth and upbringing in the future, and finally grabbed Twilight's hand and recalled what happened when she was a child, Twilight had a smile on her face, except for the necessary answer, she changed her expression according to the old lady's expression, and then the old lady was finally tired, and Twilight was finally relieved.
This time I went back to Shangshu Mansion, I heard that I was going to stay overnight, and Twilight Chi was still a little worried, but fortunately, she was quiet and well-behaved enough, although she looked very different from her cowardly temperament before, but she didn't show any stuffing for people to discover.
Twilight left the old lady's yard in her reluctance, and when she walked to the garden that she had passed by not long ago, Twilight found her second sister waiting for her again. Twilight didn't hide, and as she got closer, she wondered, isn't this person boring? Every time she doesn't say something, she always has to bypass everyone and hide behind her back......
But yes, she can understand that in this era when there is no Internet to watch and no TV series to watch, the ancients can only create their own mood of creating bloody stories comparable to TV dramas.
