Chapter 3 Entering the House
After that, all the way to the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, the grandmother and the eldest aunt were already surrounded by the maids and greeted at the gate of the inner courtyard.
Lu Binrou originally had some complicated feelings of homesickness, but at this time, she saw her grandmother, who she hadn't seen for seven years, and her temples were dyed with silver frost. is still as dignified and beautiful as the eldest aunt in memory, and it can be seen that she is much older than before.
Lu Binrou's nose suddenly became sour, and at this time, where could he take care of any inexplicable thoughts, he only felt uncomfortable in his chest.
When her grandmother saw her, she rubbed her into her arms and cried heartily, and her aunt took her mother's hand and shed tears beside her. Finally, everyone calmed down, and Mrs. Xie asked why she didn't see her brother and sister.
The old lady of the Lu family, Wang, smiled: "That monkey went to Mingjing Nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing a month ago. A few days ago, I got the news that you had arrived in Beijing today, and I was going to come back, but I didn't know that in the heavy rain, the mountain road outside Mingjing Nunnery was covered by sliding stones and mud, and it has been repaired for several days. I just received a letter from Kuaima saying that he was on his way back and that he would definitely arrive before dinner. ”
Xie Shi was taken aback and said, "Why did you encounter this kind of thing?" The landslide is such a big thing, are my younger siblings and everyone in the nunnery okay? ”
Mrs. Wang hugged Lu Bin and said: "There is nothing to do, the place where the nunnery is is fine, but the section of the road out of the mountain has been broken, and now it has been repaired." ”
Only then did the Xie family and their mothers put their minds at ease, and Lu Binrou realized at this time that she was such a big girl, and she was still tired of talking in her grandmother's arms. So he quietly struggled out and said with a smile: "Grandmother hasn't seen Bincheng and Binyu yet, the two of them fell asleep after a day's trouble." Grandmother, you don't know, they slept very deeply as soon as they fell asleep, and I guess no one would be able to wake them up. Otherwise, I must have rushed down to make trouble! ”
Mrs. Wang then remembered that there were two grandsons who had never met! Only then did she let go of Binrou, and called for someone to bring the little boy over and let her take a good look.
At this time, Binran walked out from behind his mother and gave his grandmother a salute.
The teenage boy has not yet begun to grow up, and his body is so big, but he is polite and meticulous. I saw my grandmother happy and sad, happy that my grandson had grown so big and so good, sad that I hadn't seen him a few times for so many years, so I took him into my arms and shed tears.
Binran was still a little apprehensive and unfamiliar, but when he saw his grandmother like this, he couldn't help crying, who had always been emotional. So the grandparents and grandchildren finally developed into hugging and crying, and Lu Binrou, who was watching, was depressed next to him.
After making a fuss for a long time, I finally met the elders and had dinner. Lu Binrou only felt tired and tired, and was about to say goodbye to her grandmother, aunt and mother to go back to the room to rest, but her grandmother's words were shocked: "Rourou, on the way to take care of the family, grandmother has received a letter from your mother."
Lu Binrou didn't dare to raise her head, and snorted: "Grandma, it's Rourou who is presumptuous......"
Old Madam Wang sighed and said, "Fortunately, you handled this matter properly and didn't spread it. Besides, I can't blame you for this, I have been on the road for more than two months, and I am stuck in such a big car every day, not to mention that you are a child's heart and feel difficult, and I can't help but look out the window to pass the time when I change my grandmother......"
She then changed her voice and said with a smile: "That is, a lady like your mother." In order to be able to sit upright and not squint. ”
Even though Lu Binrou was full of apprehension, she couldn't help but smile at her grandmother's somewhat joking words.
She secretly raised her head to peek, and the eldest aunt couldn't help laughing, Xie's face was a little red, and she said embarrassedly: "Mother, my daughter-in-law was laughed at by you again just after she came back, but my daughter-in-law didn't follow it." ”
The old lady patted her hand and smiled: "This world is harsh on women, although the Xie family is famous for its rules, but the daughters they teach are all dignified and virtuous, which is a good thing." Rou'er's personality is quite dignified and deferential on the surface, but in fact, she follows his father, which is quite casual. If it weren't for your mother's teaching, I'm afraid I would have suffered a lot from it again. ”
Lu Binrou was stunned, was she back then? Grandmother, what does this mean.
The mother and the eldest grandmother looked upright, and the eldest aunt Shen said softly: "Mother, you are the old lady Wang who is admired by people outside, the pillar of the Lu family, and the person admired by the daughters-in-law. ”
The old lady shook her head and said, "Rourou has grown up, and although some old things are not very glorious, there is no need to hide them from her." After all, you are young, I don't know how I was commented on back then - the whole Jiangnan knows that the Huaizhou Wang family has a rebel daughter, and even several engaged sisters of the Wang family have been dismissed. That is, later, your father-in-law, Rourou's grandfather had a tough attitude, and the first emperor instructed to suppress the rumors, and then some means were used, and then there were no rumors. But what does that taste like...... The daughter of our Lu family can't follow in such a footsteps. ”
Lu Binrou was confused when she heard it, but she also knew that this was not something she could ask, so she only made up her mind in her heart to find an opportunity to inquire. At this time, Mother Xie glanced over, and she quickly lowered her head to make a deferential appearance.
Xie Shi's eyelids drooped, and he sighed imperceptibly, only secretly made up his mind in his heart to teach his daughter well in the past two years, and he must twist his daughter's inconsistent temperament before the time, as well as the unsightly methods in the mansion, he should let his daughter know to some extent.
According to her original idea, she wanted to choose one of Lu Zhun's friends in the army and marry Binrou. She also secretly evaluated a few good ones, the family background is not low, she knows the roots, and the child can be regarded as a talent in both literature and martial arts.
The most important thing is that those houses are relatively simple, and she herself is comfortable and comfortable when she married Lu Zhun, so she is naturally reluctant to let her daughter suffer from the yard full of aunts.
With such a plan, I always felt that my daughter was still young, and I felt sorry for her, so she taught less things like the means of the back house.
Then, it seemed that suddenly, after receiving the news that the old lady had asked her to return to Beijing, she suddenly realized that Rourou was fourteen.
Mrs. Xie is not stupid, through the old lady's words, she sensed the severity of the form.
This time I returned to Beijing, on the surface, it seemed that the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter and did not want her to live a ceremony in a remote place, as well as the education of several younger sons. But how can things be so simple, Lu Zhun has long invited a famous teacher in the border city, that is the great Confucian of the world, not to mention teaching a few children, it is more than enough to teach the Spring Exam to take the exam.
And Lu Binrou's birthday is in Layue, and when she received the letter, there were still nearly two years before the ceremony.
But the tone in the old lady's heart was extremely urgent, and they must be able to come back before and after Chongyang. Xie Shi thought about the arrangement in the family to let the youngest sons abandon Wu Congwen, and thought of her husband's bitter words after being drunk once, she sighed, it seems that the emperor is not at ease with the Lu family after all.
Then the daughter's marriage is probably not up to me, and it is estimated that she will be given marriage by the emperor. The old lady's plan is probably to see the people before Hama Rou and Lu, and once they have made up their minds. After all, it is rare to marry their daughters before they are married.
Xie only felt sad in his heart, how many men in the Lu family had buried their bones in the battlefield, which was the life of the saint today, and it was also the old lady who had not been out of the cabinet back then who fought for her reputation and was saved by the danger of the Lu family's retreat. But in the end, he still can't escape the fate of being suspicious.
With her daughter's current appearance, she is afraid that in the backyard of the deep house, she will be swallowed to the point that there are no bones left.
Although Xie was worried, he still had some confidence, Lu Binrou was raised by her, and she stayed with her grandmother for a while when she was a child, and even after arriving in the border city, her father Lu Zhun once raised her as a son because he did not have his eldest son by his side, and he took her with him when he talked about things with his subordinates.
Therefore, although Lu Binrou has a pure nature and even a little chivalrous, she is not stupid, nor is she a scheming person. It's just that the Lu family is too comfortable, she hasn't seen any fights between mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, wives and concubines, and her mood is too open.
