Chapter 23: Returning Home
The vermilion gate of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was solemn, and I saw it from a distance, and there were a lot of people standing at the door to greet him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The kind old lady Wang, the serious and serious Wu'an Hou Su Gu, and a delicate woman, I thought it was my sister Lan Chao, but at first glance, it was my cousin Xiao Wang, looking at this shy and timid expression, she should have entered the door a long time ago, right? I have no affection for my aunt and poisonous father, but I am relieved to see this scene.
It's just that why didn't my mother-in-law Zhao and sister-in-law Lan Chao come?
On such a day, how could the Zhao family be absent? The opportunity to show his atmosphere, the Zhao family, who has never given up, did not come today, but an Aunt Wang came, and a lot of things happened in the half a month that she was away. Lan Xi sneered, things were getting more and more interesting.
Qin Duan dismounted and saluted the old lady and Su Gu, and was hurriedly called up by Su Gu. "Old lady, Uncle Su, the family members in the house have been delivered safely, and Qin Duan is going back to the house to report his safety."
"The virtuous nephew has worked hard all the way, and the great grace has not been thanked that day, so come in and have a cup of tea?" Su Gu was very polite, and he didn't slack off just because Su Gu was a junior.
After all, Qin Duan is a junior, and the elders' kind invitation cannot be refused. "Then bother."
After the two finished greetings, Lan Xi helped Aunt Xue get out of the carriage, and hurriedly asked Wang and Su Gu who were standing at the door. "Lan Xi returns, please say hello to my grandmother and father, grandmother Da'an, father Da'an." "The concubine greets the master, and the old lady greets."
"Get up, you've worked hard all the way" The old lady patted Lan Xi's hand and said with a smile, her face overflowing with kindness.
"Grandmother is serious, Lan Xi and Aunt Xue can pray for my Wu'an Hou Mansion is our blessing." Lan Xi looked flattered and sensible, and the Wang family became more and more satisfied.
Looking at this peaceful scene, Su Gu was also greatly relieved, looking at the more and more gentle aunt Xue, beautiful and moving, and his heart was moved. It's just that I thought of my wife, Zhao, and I felt a little worried.
"Lan Xi, your mother and eldest sister are a little unwell and can't come to pick you up." This Lan Dynasty is becoming more and more unruly, and in this day, I still want to give her sister no face, look at Lan Xi, don't fight or rob, and have the same good temperament as her aunt, Lan Chao is spoiled by that Zhao family.
"Father is serious, and later, Lan Xi will personally go to Peilanyuan to ask his mother and eldest sister for peace, but I don't know if my mother and eldest sister have any major problems?" Feeling unwell? Seeing that his father's face was not good, I was afraid that the Zhao mother and daughter had done something wrong and were grounded, and it seemed that the little girl made by Qin Duan had played a role.
"It's no big deal, you wait for your mother's eldest sister to recover before you go, don't rush in these days." Su Gu paused for a moment, "Let's all enter the mansion, don't stand outside." ”
The Xue family and the Xiao Wang family are both aunts, and at this time, they have no qualifications to speak, so they can only stand aside and listen with their heads bowed.
After that, Su Gu warmly greeted Qin Duan, of course Lan Xi knew that if it weren't for Qin Duan, he would be a concubine and a good concubine would not be qualified to go to the main gate at all, and Qin Duan was more important in the hearts of everyone in the Wu'an Hou Mansion than their mother and daughter combined. Otherwise, how could his father personally pick up their mother and daughter? It is important to connect the Qin end.
Entering the hall, Lanxi's mother and daughter knelt down solemnly and gave Wang and Su Gu a big gift. "Lan Xi and her aunt lived up to the trust of their grandmother and father in Qingxin Temple, prayed for half a month for my Wu'an Hou Mansion and grandmother, and now they are back, and they say hello to their grandmother and father, grandmother Wan'an, father Wan'an."
"Get up, my good granddaughter." Looking at the sensible Lan Xi, the old lady became more and more satisfied, although she was just a concubine, but she was much more obedient and sensible than her concubine.
"This is a copy of the scriptures copied by Lan Xi and his aunt in Qingxin Temple for their grandmother's blessings, "Jizo Bodhisattva Honjo Sutra", "Medicine Master Liuliguang Nyorai Wish Merit Sutra", "Myoho-renge-kyo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva Pumen Pin", "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", as well as five strings of open beads, dedicated to grandmother, father, mother, cousin aunt and eldest sister, may you be happy and worry-free." Lan Xi did not get up, but offered his own gifts.
Wang and Su Gu were even more satisfied and happy. "Okay, good, Lan Xi has this filial piety, my grandmother is very pleased, she is really a good daughter of my Wu'an Hou Mansion, and you have worked hard Xue."
Even the little Wang family on the side is also a lot clearer, and this Buddha bead has its own copy to show that this second lady is also interested in herself.
Su Gu was also very satisfied, the daughter taught by the Xue family was really as sensible as her, and laughed, "Come on, bring the words of Ouyang in my study to the second miss." ”
The word "Lan Xi thanks his father for reward" is a favorite thing of his father, even the eldest sister has begged several times but can't get it, of course Lan Xi will not be stupid enough to refuse at his father's interest, since the reward is hers.
Wang was also very happy, "Grandma Sun, go and bring the double-layer pineapple box in my warehouse." In fact, the Wang family originally prepared a set of gem-inlaid diamond pattern gold heads, but now Lan Xi gave them a long face in front of outsiders, and the Wang family prepared a big award as soon as he was happy.
Mama Sun had fast legs and feet, and soon brought a delicate box, the old lady smiled and said to Lan Xi: "You are the hero of our Hou Mansion, this is the dowry that I married back then, and the jewelry in it was also my favorite back then, now I am afraid that it is a little outdated, and after a few days take it out and melt it and rebuild it, and this gem-inlaid diamond pattern gold head face, is the grandmother rewarded you"
"How can Lan Xi receive such a big gift from his grandmother, these are what Lan Xi and his aunt should do, they can't afford such a big reward from their grandmother, how can Lan Xi take away their grandmother's beloved things." Lan Xi did not accept this gift.
"Silly boy, I said that you deserve it, the elder can't give it, how can there be a reason to take back what your grandmother gave out, accept it, otherwise your grandmother will be unhappy." Wang pretended to be unhappy.
"Lan Xi doesn't dare, Lan Xi thanks to his grandmother's reward" Lan Xi didn't shirk this time, and knelt down and made a big salute in a proper manner.
"This is the good granddaughter of our Hou Mansion." Wang is very satisfied with Lan Xi's sensibility.
Lan Xi was very puzzled, although she was a young lady and Xue was an aunt, but her grandmother and father had been rewarding herself, why didn't she mention it to her aunt? Especially when Qin Duan was present, for the sake of face, he shouldn't treat Aunt Xue so coldly?
Lan Xi thought, and her grandmother spoke, "Xue's family, you have also worked hard, you are not afraid of danger, you really have everyone's demeanor, this time I pray that you have made great contributions, there is nothing else to reward, you have not fought for so many years, I discussed it with the Hou Ye, and I will mention it as a concubine."
Aunt Xue and Lan Xi were stunned by this surprise, they thought it was also a face or something, but they didn't expect it to be a direct mention of the concubine, the rules of the beam are strict, and it is difficult for those who do not have great merit to be promoted. Besides, this noble concubine and good concubine are completely different, the noble concubine can directly straighten out or mention the flat wife, and there is no need to go to the wife's room to set up rules, and the noble concubine can go to the family tree, and she can also go out to ask for peace on weekdays, so the Zhao family is so opposed to the concubine position of the Xiao Wang family.
"Cheap concubine Xie old lady, the lord rewards" Aunt Xue replied with a half choked voice.
"Do you still call yourself a concubine?" The old lady smiled with a smile.
"The concubine is grateful to her mother, and the husband is rewarded." If you want to say what is the difference between this noble concubine and a good concubine, it is that the title is different from ordinary concubines.
"Okay, don't cry on the big day, Grandma Sun, bring the set of gold silk inlaid ruby double luan head I prepared to Aunt Xue." Wang is generous today. Xue is very grateful.
"I have long heard that the rules of the Marquis Mansion of Wu'an are excellent, and the rewards and punishments are clear, and when I saw it today, the rumors were true." Who is Qin Duan, he has long seen that Su Gu did this for him, so that he can forget the events of that day and protect his reputation as the Marquis of Wu'an. Why don't you do it yourself?
The virtuous nephew laughed. Seeing that his goal was achieved, Su Gu was also very happy.
"Uncle Su doesn't have to be modest, the housesister and Miss Su Er have become close friends in Qingxin Temple, and in the future, the little sister will need to take more care of Uncle Su and the old lady when she comes to Lanxi to play, and now the two families should move around more." Qin Duan sold Lanxi's mother and daughter a face, and besides, this is also a fact, before coming to Xue's begging, she asked herself that she didn't want to leak out, so when she came to Xue's doctor in the future, she had to take Lanxi's path.
"Really? Lan Xi and his niece have that fate, which is also Lan Xi's blessing, and in the future, I will be in Wu'an Hou's Mansion, and I will definitely be entertained. Su Gu was even happier, this Lan Xi had a bit of a role, and he would get along with Miss Qin after a few days of praying for blessings. He has heard of Miss Qin's family for a long time, she is loved by thousands of people, she is not in good health and has a cold temperament, she doesn't like to associate with Miss Shijia, and she didn't expect to be friends with Lanxi. Then it will be much easier for him to talk to the Qin family in the future.
Thinking of this, the eyes that looked at Lan Xi softened even more.
"The little nephew has to go back to the house to report his safety, so I won't bother." Qin Duan saw that the purpose of his coming today had been fully achieved, and he also got up and said goodbye. Su Gu naturally got up to see him off, and the two of them walked out of the hall with a pleasant greeting.
Only the Xue family, Lan Xi, Wang family and Xiao Wang family were left in the hall.
"Le'er, don't come here to say hello to Xue and the second lady," the old lady instructed Xiao Wang who was standing aside. turned to explain to Lan Xi and Xue, "Because your grandmother is unwell, she carried your cousin into the door in advance, and she will be called Aunt Wang in the future, and it is not appropriate to call your cousin." “
"Concubine Wang asks Sister Xue and Second Miss to say goodbye, Sister Xue Wanfu, Second Miss Wanfu." This can be regarded as identifying Xue and Lanxi. Lan Xi also returned half a salute as a senior, and Xue not only wanted to return the gift but also give a meeting gift, "I hope my sister will not dislike it, it happened suddenly, and my sister will prepare a generous gift in the future." The Xue family withdrew a pair of jade bracelets in their hands and gave them to Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang's family naturally doesn't look down on this, but his face is still like a spring breeze, "Sister loves, how dare my sister dislike it"
Lan Xi looked at Xiao Wang's look and smiled reluctantly, this Xiao Wang is not a simple character, how can he look at his aunt's jade bracelet when he enters the door, but his aunt has been promoted, and Xiao Wang's family is in charge again, I don't know what kind of mood his mother-in-law Zhao is?
