Chapter 127: Revisiting the Hometown and Mentioning Family Affairs
The gift brought by Sun has been in the hands of the maid of Sun Jidong's house, Sun glanced at his eldest brother Sun Jidong, Sun Jidong walked outside the room, took the burden from the maid's hand, and walked back and put it on the coffee table beside Sun.
Sun opened it carefully, first took out a jade Ruyi, and walked to the embroidered couch with his own hand.
"Mother, this is me and Guoliang honoring you."
Xu took it casually, didn't look at it seriously, and then put it aside. Next, it was for the two younger brothers and sisters-in-law, including the little ones, and the Sun family prepared gifts. Sun inherited the two brothers, and they also prepared gifts for Xiao Yiran. In this way, the atmosphere in the room is a little more lively.
"Where is the second lady going to live this time?"
There is no need to ask, including Xiao Yiran can hear the meaning of Xu's words. Originally, on the way here, Sun Jidong and his wife discussed with the Sun family, and after they came, they lived with Sun Jidong. The family has even packed up the house for the mother and daughter. It's just that Sun listened to his stepmother Xu's questioning, and because of etiquette, he had to speak:
"Mother, naturally, lives at home."
Hearing the second lady reply like this, Xu showed a smile for the second time. Loud to the outside:
"Mother Wang, send someone to arrange accommodation for the second lady's mother and daughter, notify the kitchen in the evening, and prepare a banquet."
"Yes, ma'am."
Wang's mother, who had been guarding the door, answered, turned around and left, and went down to make arrangements.
Sun Jidong and his wife were not easy to interject at this time, but just lowered their heads and drank tea.
"The happy event of the eldest prince's family is scheduled for the sixth day of the second month, right?"
"Yes, Mother."
"If you need any help, just tell your two brothers, and your brother-in-law, to be a family, don't be too outside the house, let outsiders see the jokes."
"Yes, Mother."
"Inheriting Jihuan's daughter-in-law, the second lady is running all the way, and she must be tired, so take their mother and daughter down to rest. It's time for me to lie down, too. ”
Everyone stood up, and after giving a salute to the Xu family, they retreated one after another. How to say that the Sun Mansion is a big family, and there are a lot of spare rooms, so there is no need to bother to clean up. When Sun's mother and daughter came to the courtyard, Wang's mother was already waiting there, Wang's mother was in front, Sun and Xiao Yiran followed, and Xiao Yiran's three aunts were behind. The three Sun Jidong brothers stayed outside.
"The second lady and the little lady will live here, and if there is any shortage, please sue me."
"Thank you, Mother Wang. The two siblings should go back and rest. ”
After the three of them went out, Sun drove the maid out of the room again. The mother and daughter sat on the edge of the bed and spoke.
"Ran'er is tired, right?"
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I'm not very comfortable."
"Hehe, Ran'er has never been exposed to everyone's rules since she was a child, so she naturally feels uncomfortable. In the future, you have to learn more, otherwise when you grow up in the future, you will lack the number of courtesies, but you will not be able to find your in-laws. ”
"Mother, is it okay not to get married?"
"What did you say?"
Sun looked at his well-behaved daughter with a smile.
"Mother, didn't you say that you would live at your uncle's house?"
"Ran'er also heard your grandmother's words, if you don't agree to live here, I'm afraid it will be unpleasant. Anyway, from tomorrow onwards, we will go to your uncle's house during the day to help, and only come back at night to sleep. A total of more than ten days, endure it and pass. ”
When he went out this time, Xiao Yiran didn't bring Xiao Xilai. Although her mother Sun was the second lady in the house before she left home, she was a slave and a maidservant, but since she left home, she has been running the housework alone, and she has been used to the life of no one for many years. The mother and daughter lived in the same room and took care of each other, but they rarely commanded the maids of the Sun Mansion.
After taking a nap, his mother Sun led Xiao Yiran to the back garden. Xiao Yiran looked at the garden in front of him, and couldn't help but think in his heart, when his grandfather was there, how prosperous and prosperous the Sun Mansion was. In the garden covering an area of more than ten acres, there are pavilions, pavilions, winding paths, lotus ponds, green bamboos and green trees. Compared with the memories of Suzhou before his rebirth, Suzhou gardens have a comparison.
After a while, the mother rushed over and accompanied the mother and daughter on the tour, followed by the two aunts and uncles who also took the children to the back garden. This season, only plum blossoms are in full bloom, and spring flowers are just emerging from their yellow buds.
"Second sister, how old is Yiran's niece this year? What is the birthday? ”
The second aunt Zhu asked Sun.
"It's three years old now, and it's April 21 birthday, and it's less than three months, three weeks."
"Lin'er is three years younger than our family's Lin'er and two months older than Zhu'er."
"Time flies so fast, when I was at home, the second brother was only one or two years older than Lin'er, and in a blink of an eye, he was already the father of two children."
The third aunt Yu answered:
"Who's to say it's not, now that I think about it, it's like the days of being a girl at home, just like yesterday's. No, in a blink of an eye, she also became the mother of two children, which is really fast. ”
At this time, Sun Yilin, Sun Yizhu of the second aunt's family, and Sun Yican, who was more than three years old from the third aunt's family, all gathered around Xiao Yiran and asked Xiao Yiran this and that. Only Sun Yiwen, who was from the third aunt's family, was still too young, only a little more than a year old, and was held in the arms of the third aunt.
"Ran'er, let's play with my cousin and cousin."
Xiao Yiran really didn't want to play with the children in front of him. Hearing Sun's instructions, he had no choice but to nod his head, and answered the questions of the three without saying a word.
"Second sister, I went to my sister-in-law to help a few days ago, but I heard that my sister-in-law said that Ran'er is smart and clever. said that it was not for Ran'er to remind him last time, and the sixty or seventy taels of silver that the eldest brother was deceived were afraid that it would be difficult to get them back. ”
The two younger sisters don't boast like this, they were just curious at the time, and casually asked the eldest brother, and reminded the eldest brother if they didn't want to. However, she is not as smart as you say. ”
"Sister-in-law also said that Ran'er is still studying in the county school and has read all four books, but is it true?"
"Nothing. At that time, I was just worried that Ran'er was bored at home, so I asked her to go to the county school to recognize a few words. Where can I read through the four books? ”
"Also, Ran'er is only a few years old, and when my sister-in-law said it, it scared me. Lin'er's father has been reading for many years, and he still doesn't dare to say that he can read it. ”
"Will the two younger brothers take the college exam?"
"I've played twice, but I haven't played yet. Later, I had no intention of studying. ”
Looking at the second brother and sister's desire to speak and stop, Sun understood that as a wife, there was no one who did not want her husband to become a Chan, and Zhu was obviously very disappointed in what the second brother did.
I have been playing in the back garden until the sun sets, and there is a maid who said:
"Madame invites the second lady, the little lady, and the two young grandmothers to the hall for dinner."
Then they came to the hall in the front yard. Seeing that the Xu family was already waiting there, Xiao Yiran saw that his uncle and aunt had also come over early.
"Uncle, aunt."
"Big brother and sister-in-law are busy at home, so don't come over to accompany us."
"I sent someone to call the eldest prince and the eldest young grandmother over. When I came back on the first day, everyone sat down together, and it was lively. ”
As soon as Xu said this, everyone couldn't say anything, and then they took their seats. Two tables were set up in the hall, separated by a vermilion screen, with the women's seats in and the men's seats in the outer place. The family chatted while eating, and after a while, the topic turned to Sun Jidong's grandson's family affairs.
"Grandma, remember that your Tong'er seems to be a baby since childhood?"
"Yes, Mother."
At this time, Xiao Yiran's seat happened to be at the lower right of Xu's head, and when he saw Xu's end of asking his aunt, he turned his head to look at himself, and looked up to meet Xu's gaze consciously. Seeing Xu, he turned his head to look at the second aunt again. Xiao Yiran turned his eyes to look at his mother Sun, and saw that his mother Sun also happened to look at him.
"It's April's birthday, right? is three years younger than Lin'er, I think the two of them are very suitable, if the second lady has no opinion, it is better to kiss and give Ran'er to Lin'er. ”
