Chapter 15: Old Lady Wu
The weather was fine on this day, with clear skies and cloudless skies. It's the end of summer, and a cool breeze blows, bringing the scent of flowers and plants, which is very refreshing.
Early in the morning, Wu Tianrou was woken up by Cuiping and began to freshen up.
Today is the day when the old lady finally began to recuperate after several months of recuperation, and all the rooms did not dare to slack off, and all of them got up early and dressed up carefully.
Sitting in front of the dressing bronze mirror and being combed by Cuiping's hair, Wu Tianrou recalled the situation when she saw the old lady, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart.
Mrs. Wu can be said to love herself very much, although she looks a little strict, but among the many granddaughters, she still pays the most attention to herself, which has nothing to do with her identity as a concubine.
I still remember that before she was seriously ill and died, she knelt in front of her bed, she held her hand tightly, and said with love on her face. Of all the grandchildren, she is the most like her when she was younger, and seeing herself is like seeing her before.
Sighing slightly, Wu Tianrou's heart suddenly moved. Mrs. Wu was paralyzed in bed because she fractured her tail vertebrae after a snow slip and fall in winter, and her body has been weakening day by day since then.
So if he saved the old lady from slipping and hurting, would she not have died so early?
made a decision in her heart, and Wu Tianrou's face unconsciously brought a smile.
Under the service of Cuiping and Cuiqin, the breakfast was quickly solved, and Wu Tianrou took Cuiping and Cuiqin and walked towards the Xishou Hall where the old lady was.
The old lady's Xishoutang is located at the back of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the area is not small. There are a lot of pine trees planted around the same as Tingtao Hall, and there is a large shallow pond in the backyard, with more than ten cranes in captivity, and the rugged rockery is really a bit extraordinary.
There are also a lot of flowers planted around the main hall, and the air is fresh and quiet.
When she came to the door of Xishoutang, the little maid had just opened the curtain of the door, and Wu Tingrou heard a call from behind, and when she looked back, she saw that it was Wu Tingcheng who was smiling and Yan Yan was coming.
"My sister came so early, I didn't expect to be able to arrive with my sister."
"Didn't my sister come early? My sister looks good today, and her face is all good, and she can't see the mark at all. ”
Glancing at Wu Tingcheng, Wu Tianrou smiled and finished speaking, and walked into the house first.
In the house, only Aunt Qian and the fourth young lady she gave birth to, Wu Tianqiu, were there, and the others had not yet arrived. Seeing Wu Tianrou coming in, Aunt Qian and Wu Tianqiu hurriedly stood up.
"Miss."
"Big sister."
"Aunt Qian and the fourth sister came early, let's all sit down."
Nodding slightly, Wu Tianrou took care of herself and found a place in the front to sit down, and her own little maid came forward to bring the tea cup.
Wu Tingcheng followed into the room, she looked around and wanted to lean towards Wu Tingrou's side.
As soon as she lifted her footsteps, she felt a sudden pain in her ankle, as if she had been hit by something, and suddenly she didn't stand firm and fell to the ground, but fortunately she was supported by the green Qiao beside her, so she didn't make a fool of herself.
However, she seemed to twist her ankle slightly, so she had to sit next to Wu Tianqiu in a stupid manner. But she didn't forget to turn her head to look at the ground where she had made a fool of her, but there was nothing on the ground.
Unwilling to pout, Wu Qingcheng could only sit quietly in his position and let Lu Qiao squat down and gently rub her ankles.
Aunt Qian and Wu Tianqiu on the side sat quietly with their eyes down, as if they hadn't seen anything that had just happened.
Raising her eyes to look at the few people present, Wu Tianrou lowered her head and smiled secretly.
It turned out that Wu Tingcheng almost fell, and it was Wu Tingrou who suggested that Cuiqin hit Wu Tingcheng's ankle with a small pebble the size of a fingernail that she picked up on the way here.
This is not too difficult for Cuiqin, who grew up in the juggling team since she was a child, especially at such a close distance, so Wu Qingcheng was unconsciously recruited.
Through the action of drinking tea, Wu Tianrou covered half of her face with a tea cup and smiled at Cuiqin beside her.
Here Wu Tianrou was secretly smiling in her heart, and the curtain of the door was opened again, and several people walked in one after another. Wu Tianrou looked up, and it turned out that Aunt Chen and the third lady she was born to, Wu Tianhua, had arrived.
"It turns out that everyone has arrived, but we are late."
Greeting everyone, Aunt Chen said with a smile.
At this moment, the voice of the maid came from outside the door, it turned out that Mrs. Wu had arrived, and everyone stood up.
As the curtain of the door was opened, Mrs. Wu walked in in a royal blue embroidered cloud pattern dress.
"Mother!"
"Madame!"
"Sit down!"
Waving her hand to signal everyone to sit down, Mrs. Wu smiled at Wu Tianrou, and then walked to a position under the main seat and sat down.
As everyone arrived, the house began to be lively. Although everyone didn't dare to make a loud noise because it was on the old lady's side, they were also talking and laughing quietly, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Wu Yunyang and Mrs. Wu are childhood sweethearts, and the two are married. has had a deep relationship since he was a child, and after marriage, he loves each other and envies others.
But because the Wu family has been in a single line for many years, there is still a male Ding Wu Yunyi in Wu Yunyang's generation.
It's just a pity that the concubine Wu Yunyi was on the way to do business, and the family encountered bandits and the husband and wife died, leaving the six-year-old daughter Wu Chengcheng to be taken care of by the nurse at home.
Therefore, Wu Yunyang took Wu Chengcheng, who was only six years old, back to the prime minister's mansion for adoption, and has always regarded her as his own daughter until now.
And Wu Yunyang and Mrs. Wu have not had good news for two years after they got married, and the old lady is in a hurry, so she wants to give Wu Yunyang a concubine.
For the sake of family inheritance, Wu Yunyang and Mrs. Wu could only accept the arrangement of the old lady, and three aunts were brought into the family one after another, namely Aunt Liu, Aunt Chen and Aunt Qian.
Who knew that the aunts had not moved a single year since they entered the house, which really saddened Mrs. Wu.
Fortunately, more than a year after the aunts entered the house, Mrs. Wu finally became pregnant and got a man in one fell swoop, this is Wu Zixu.
Since then, there has been good news in the family, Mrs. Wu and her aunts have become pregnant one after another, but there is no male child.
Just when Wu Tianrou was looking at the room and thinking nonsense, there was a crisp dingdong sound from the bead curtain in the inner hall. When she came back to her senses, Wu Tianrou saw Mrs. Wu walking over with steady steps, supported by Pei's mother and Miss Begonia.
I hadn't seen the old lady for a few months, and at this time I saw her wearing a dark placket swasher dress. The gray hair is meticulously combed and obedient, and he wears a jade-inlaid forehead band on his forehead, and only an old-colored jade hairpin is inserted in the bun.
There are not too many wrinkles on the well-maintained face, and the face is still relatively ruddy and energetic at this time. She looked at the many juniors below with a loving face, and her somewhat dim eyes narrowed slightly.
