The shouts came and went, and the surrounding people heard the sound of going out to see the movement, and suddenly there were many more people coming to the street because of the cold weather, looking at the row of carriages coming from afar, and couldn't help tiptoeing at each other.

The main door of the Song family opened, and the patriarch of the Song family and the old lady of several rooms slowly walked out with the support of their children and grandchildren, followed by the grandchildren of each house, and there were more than 100 people, occasionally with a whole crown, and the rest looked into the distance.

Song Han didn't think that this resignation and return to his hometown would be such a situation, and his mood fluctuated for a while, several old people in the clan had to be completely white, and his father couldn't help but get out of the car eagerly, and took a pair of children to kneel forward, and said: "Song Han, a descendant of Xiao, returned home with a pair of children, and asked his father and uncles to ......."

"Hurry up...... The children are small, San Lang is frail, we can avoid this etiquette, the family doesn't need to see outside" The patriarch personally pulled Song Han up, and his peers and mother-in-law stepped forward to help Song Nianzhi's sister and brother up, and the two stood behind Song Han with bated breath, listening to the love and teachings of the patriarch and the uncles and grandfathers.

The last time I returned to my hometown, the family left in a hurry, this time Song Han resigned and looked back on his hometown, and the family was ready to be blamed by the clansmen, but they didn't expect it to be such a spring breeze Buddha Willow, but they were flattered for a while.

Song Han personally gave the patriarch and several masters, turned around and asked the emperor to give the holy decree himself, and put his hands in front of the patriarch, the patriarch was excited, and his whole body trembled and led the whole clan to worship respectfully.

After the discussion of several clan elders, the fourth prince of Song and Song Han nodded and promised, this holy decree was temporarily enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Song family, and then enshrined separately by the fourth room of East Street after the year. In the future, at the time of the New Year, please go to the ancestral hall for the clan to worship.

The Song family has light, the four rooms are outstanding, and the onlookers are envious, and they are all happy.

The clansmen followed the patriarch who held the holy decree in his hand and went to the ancestral hall, leaving a group of outsiders envious and stunned.

Song Rumu is her daughter's family. can't go to the ancestral hall, and the two of them are supported by Chayu Xuanling and stand in place. The mother-in-law stepped forward to say hello, and the old lady had been waiting to see Miss Sun, so the mother-in-law carried a small sedan chair forward.

Chayu thanked her for her own lady. And reward them one by one.

Xuanling waited for Song Rumu to board the sedan chair, and tried the warm and suitable hand stove that had just been replaced, so she gently put it on Song Rumu's knees.

The temperature from the fingertips made Song Rumu can't help but squint her eyes slightly. Secretly thinking about touching Xuanling's fingers, it was slightly lukewarm and not cold. It can be seen that several maids are dressed warmly and relaxed. After returning to her hometown, she had nothing to rely on in the inner house, she could only rely on the loyalty of a few maids, if she didn't treat each other sincerely, how could she expect others to repay her sincerely?

What's more, Xuanling is nominally at her behest, but in fact she is still the person blessed by the emperor, she can't respond to his feelings with a heart of repayment, but she can help take care of his people. It can always be done.

The outside is tightly covered, there is no cold wind that can get into the sedan chair, and there are new rabbit skin cushions, Song Rumu sat upright for a while and was slightly irritable, and said in his heart that this sedan chair was much more upscale than a few years ago.

In Chunhui Hall, Old Madam Song couldn't help but smile and squint when she learned what was happening in front of her. Since ancient times, high-ranking officials are very few, and there are few people who may retreat and get the emperor's reward, and her third son Song Han is fortunate to be blessed, but it is a pity that the good grandson has not been shaded. He needs to be admitted step by step. Those who don't know how many years later, still don't know if she and the old man can wait?

Mrs. Song was both proud and frustrated, and when she heard the third lady outside, she couldn't help but think of this cheap granddaughter she picked up. Listen to Ruixi girl come back and say. Mu Yatou not only looks good, but also treats people and things well, especially considerate and caring for people. The two mothers-in-law said that the third lady had a big idea, not to mention the fourth young master, and even the third master listened to her on weekdays. She guessed that it must have been Mu Yatou who swept the face of the two of them, so that the old thing came back and made irresponsible remarks. And when she was an old fool. If Mu girl is really like what they say, will the straight-eyed brook girl not leak? But she should think about it, what to do with Mu Yatou.

When she was in Hangzhou, she saw that Lu Gongzi had some friendship with Mu Yatou, but at that time, she ignored etiquette and let it go, and did not completely restrain Mu Yatou. Since she came back from Hangzhou, she has been looking forward to the day when Mu Yatou can marry into the Lu Mansion, it turns out that she is right, but the seventh princess was killed in the middle, and the emperor personally gave the marriage, Mu Yatou is useless no matter how good she looks, who told them that the Song family has lived in a small city for a long time, and gradually declined. But let the concubine who was recorded in the family tree be a concubine, and they couldn't afford to lose that person in the fourth room.

"Granddaughter Rumu greets her grandmother, and wishes her grandmother a long life and good health...... "As she gets older, Mrs. Song is getting more and more dazzled, and she can only squint at this granddaughter. Aside from the circle of people around her, the fifteen-year-old Jiaojiao'er voice is like a yellow warbler, her appearance is more tender than a flower, and her every move is a demeanor, which is more outstanding than the daughters of the Song clan in Mocheng, including the brook girl who is married to the eldest prince of the eldest princess's mansion.

"Mu girl, get up quickly, come over and let grandmother see, why do I look so thin?" The old lady sat upright on the kang head, and her legs were covered with a thick cashmere blanket. This man is old, and he can't leave the kang in winter. After Song Rumu knelt on the futon and kowtowed, the old lady beckoned her granddaughter to step forward, her hot and soft hands, touched the slightly cool little face, nodded for a while, and said to the eldest lady beside her: "If you lose weight, I remember that this little face was bulging before, and with this hand, the bean nest ......is gone."

"Grandmother Lao remembers ......" Song Rumu said in her heart that she used to be baby fat, but now she has developed a second time and her body is taller, and the baby fat is slowly fading, so she naturally looks a lot thinner.

"Look at what my mother said, Mu Yatou is now a big girl, how can she be as ...... as before" The eldest lady also took the opportunity to look at the niece in front of her, I have to say that Song Laosan and Han were lucky to adopt this distant orphan girl, not only with impeccable appearance and temperament, but also with an atmosphere that a daughter in a small place does not have.

"Rumu has seen the eldest aunt and a few sisters-in-law...... "The old lady Song wants to see her, she can cross the eldest lady to the old lady, but now that the eldest lady has spoken, she has to hurry up and salute, which is the basic etiquette for the younger generations to the elders."

The granddaughters-in-law who had a very low sense of presence in the Song family all bowed their heads in return, and the eldest lady Wu personally stepped forward to help the person up, took the opportunity to look at it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh secretly for her good looks, and dumped her children for many miles. Wu thought in his heart, but said in his mouth: "You don't need to be like this, you don't need to be like this, we girls will grow up in the future." You go and accompany your grandmother, her old man has been talking to you for a while, and the food is not delicious. ”

"Seeing that I'm old and useless, you can arrange me...... Mu girl came over and told her grandmother how is your father? How can you think about it? The old lady saw that the eldest daughter-in-law pulled her niece to look left and right, knowing that she was envious of the girl in Erfangxi who had a good marriage, and she couldn't help but be angry that she couldn't tell the difference.

"Daughter-in-law don't dare, it's too late to honor you! Mu girl hurry up, your grandmother can't wait......" The eldest lady smiled and put Song Rumu's hand in the old woman's hand.

Regarding these issues, the family of three has long been unified, so Song Rumu didn't have to think much about it and returned to the old lady and said: Grandmother rest assured, father and Nian are good. We didn't dare to rush this way, so we walked back slowly, perhaps because of our relaxed mood, and my father's health was much better than when he was in Beijing. ”。

Old Madam Song finally let go of her anxiety, thought about it and continued to ask: "How did I hear that he was really sick for a while?" ”

"That's in the capital. At that time, his father was so sick that he couldn't get up, and the imperial doctor said that it was not good to be cured and relied on recuperation, so the emperor read his father's hard work, agreed to his father's resignation charter, and gave his father a reward for holy decrees and wealth before leaving.

"Amitabha...... Buddha blessed. We didn't understand the reason at home, we only heard that it was sick, and it was not light, and it scared me......" The old lady's eyes were red, and she thought that she thought that she wanted the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, so she felt uncomfortable, and her right hand subconsciously beat her chest to smooth her breath.

Song Rumu stepped forward to help the old lady calm down, and listened to the old lady talking about the scene at home at that time, and heard the whispering of the maid outside.

The old lady was a little upset to be interrupted, and asked why.

A maid came in from outside the door and replied: "The eldest lord of our house sent someone back that the prefect of Moxian County took someone to visit the third master of our house, and left it on South Street for lunch, so that the old lady should not worry, take the third lady to eat first, and send the prefect away in the afternoon, and then let the third master and the fourth young master come back to kowtow to you." ”

"Go back to your lord, and say I know. And let him take care of the third master more, and don't eat and drink if he is not in good health" The old lady finished with a smile, and asked the maid next to her to reward the little girl with two silver nudes, and when the little girl withdrew, she ordered the eldest lady to let people open the banquet.

South Street is the abbreviation of the Song clan patriarch, belonging to the long house of the descendant lineage, the family ancestral hall is dedicated to the first class of things they are in charge of, in the past few families have to see their faces, in recent years, they have to get along with the four rooms of East Street, like today, South Street came forward to take the wind and wash the dust, and they also asked for their consent in advance, after all, everything is based on the holy decree first.

Later, the eldest lady left with several sisters-in-law, and Song Rumu was left by the old lady to accompany her for lunch, without saying a word.

After drinking tea after dinner, the old lady withdrew from everyone and asked Song Rumu about Song Ruixi's marriage, the old lady was very optimistic about this family business, but Song Han suddenly resigned, which made this family business tricky.

"It stands to reason that grandmother shouldn't ask you about these things, a girl who has not left the cabinet. But your father doesn't care about it, and if I ask, it will only displease him. After thinking about it, since you are in charge of the affairs of your house, grandmother can only ask you. This matter has been in the old lady's heart for a long time, and it has almost become her heart disease. Although it was originally for the second granddaughter to use marriage to find a way out for her son, the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat.

Song Rumu was also worried about her cousin, after all, the eldest princess's mansion has a noble status, and she is involved in the royal family and stands outside the temple, so her status is not outstanding. And Song Ruixi, a niece of a second-grade imperial history, if she hadn't won the first place at the Spring Festival banquet and entered the eyes of the eldest princess and the eldest son, I am afraid that she would not have been able to marry into the eldest princess's mansion no matter what. (To be continued.) )
