Chapter 45: Distinguished Guest
The girl's tone was soft, with hesitation for the future, as if the old man's heart, liver, spleen and lungs were about to be crushed.
"What nonsense, what is not a life! The general praised you for your intelligence, but now you are confused. Mrs. Chen gently knocked her granddaughter's head and scolded her for talking nonsense.
Lin Wanwan was beaten and didn't shout and coquettish like usual, but broke away from the old man, walked in front of her and Old Lady Chen, and knelt down.
Lin Haoqi also stepped forward at this moment and knelt beside his sister.
The two of them kowtowed respectfully three times together.
The eyes of the two old men sitting on the seat suddenly turned red.
Old Mrs. Chen forcibly endured her emotions and pretended to be majestic and accepted the salute of her brother and sister, but Old Mrs. Chen wiped her tears with a handkerchief again and again.
The grandson who was guarded by them will eventually return to their world.
You have to rely on yourself and step out of the road of life step by step.
At this time, the loss in the hearts of the two old men was more than sentimental.
Just like the mother of the brother and sister, wearing a fiery red wedding dress, kneeling in front of her, saying that the child is not filial and can no longer bear the feeling of loss under her knees.
The incense burner in the center of the house, with light smoke curling, with a light fragrance, lingers and disperses.
Old Madam Chen leaned on the big pillow of the sapphire blue embroidered pine crane to wipe her tears, her eyes passed through the kneeling brother and sister, and fell on the incense burner, but it looked a little ethereal. Some cloudy eyes are covered with sadness.
This old man, the remembered departed, has lost his nobility and majesty, and looks fragile and pitiful.
Lin Wanwan knew that the old man should have remembered her mother who died early, and when she thought that she was going to leave the old man's side, she was like a fish in her throat, kneeling on the ground and unable to say anything.
For a long time, the old man sighed lightly, and the sadness in his eyes was hidden in the deepest part.
"When you go home, don't be tough, you brothers and sisters are used to being smart, I don't think you need to say more, you also know how to measure." The old man's voice was slow and deep, and the light in her eyes gradually became darker, which made her more and more unpredictable. "Although you went to Shangshu Mansion with Wanwan, the monthly money is still from the General's Mansion. She has been with me for a long time, and she has some skills, so you just need to pay attention to some eating utensils. ”
This is to make it clear in advance what the brother and sister may encounter in the house.
The dirty methods of the women of the big house, but these are also these.
But after finishing speaking, the uneasiness in Old Madam Chen's heart deepened.
Back then, her daughter also knew some medical skills, how could she still be harmed, and there was no trace of it.
After checking all these years, they still had no clue, so they couldn't bear to tear their faces in the Shangshu Mansion.
What's more, after the daughter died, the concubine was already his wife. No matter how much she hated it, she couldn't drive the murderer who knew she was the murderer who killed her daughter out of the family clan.
Married daughters, married daughters, no matter how powerful the mother family is, they can't interfere in the battle of her husband's house.
The Lin family is also a serious scholarly family, and it is not something that can make them pinch the general's mansion, but it has become a place for the concubine!
Old Madam Chen's thoughts drifted away, and she was suddenly pulled back by shock.
The daughters all fell into that field, so did these grandchildren really send sheep into the tiger's mouth?!
"Grandmother... Grandmother? ”
Lin Guanwan's brother and sister were solemn and wanted the old man to rest assured, but the two kowtowed again, and when the old man told her the rest of the way, she was distracted again.
After repeated calls, the old man was finally detached from the frightened past, and when he looked at a pair of grandsons, he found that his palms were full of cold sweat.
After gathering her mind, Mrs. Chen nervously went to help her brother and sister up, and instructed Mother Xu in the panic that could not be concealed: "Go, take out all the antidote pills I have made in the library in recent years, remember to pack them for their brothers and sisters, and take them back to the house." ”
The old man was startled and very nervous, and the brother and sister looked at each other, but they didn't stop much.
As long as the old man can feel at ease, this is a bit of a fussy move, and they will accept it.
Subsequently, Mrs. Chen carefully instructed the brothers and sisters to pay attention to the things, and warned Lin Haoqi to protect his sister at all times.
After saying this, the four ancestors and grandchildren were all red-eyed, speechless and quietly coaxed.
This heavy atmosphere was only eliminated when Li and Yu came with their daughters.
Originally, Lin Hongzhi was the general's mansion who came to the court with Second Master Chen.
As soon as Second Master Chen entered the door, he was caught by a sudden distinguished guest.
Marquis Wusu, who returned to Beijing from the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing to participate in the court meeting, stepped on his heel and came to the door.
He was not the only one who came, but also the third brother of Wusu Hou, who is now a member of the third grade, the third master of the Su family!
The two families originally had frequent contacts with their female dependents, but Marquis Wu Su himself rarely had contact with the Chen family, let alone the third master of Su. Even the meeting is just a nodding acquaintance that doesn't stop at courtesy.
Therefore, such an unexpected guest really made Second Master Chen dare not slack off, and invited people to the front hall to entertain.
The Li family and the Yu family came, firstly, to serve the two elders for dinner, and secondly, to know that Lin Hongzhi had left, to remind Mrs. Chen that there were still distinguished guests in the front yard.
Seeing her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen immediately thought about it, left her wife, daughter-in-law and grandson, and went to the front hall.
Chen Silin sat next to Lin Wanwan, and when she turned around, she saw that the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and she was twisting the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.
"My sister has a grudge against this veil, and she always hangs it to do something, if something doesn't go well, she will come to her sister and talk to her sister."
The girl's beautiful voice came, and Lin Wanwan turned her head sideways to look at her.
There was no smile on my cousin's beautiful face, and her delicate eyebrows were full of worry.
Lin Wanwan's heart had a warm current flowing through it.
In the general's mansion, everyone treats her well, and never wants her to be wronged.
Removing the sadness between her eyebrows, Lin Wanwan smiled and said: "How can anything go wrong, but in two days, my sister wants to go home, and I am reluctant." ”
Hearing this, Chen Silin's mouth opened slightly in surprise, and when she saw that her cousin was also listless, she didn't know how to talk for a while.
Mrs. Chen went to the front to socialize, and she would not go back to the inner courtyard to eat, so Mrs. Chen ordered her to stop eating, and everyone ate in a somewhat dull atmosphere.
After the meal, Li and Shu, who were daughters-in-law, saw that Mrs. Chen was not interested, and there was sadness and exhaustion on their faces that could not be concealed.
Chen Silin also made an appointment with Lin Wanwan before leaving, and went to her courtyard in the evening, and the sisters hadn't talked together for a long time. Lin Wanwan happily agreed.
When the Fulu Temple was dispersed, the feast in the front court was also dispersed.
Mrs. Chen's identity is there, and it is Second Master Chen who personally sends people out of the house.
His eyes were reddened by the wine, and his eyes were full of doubt.
What are the two brothers of Wusu Hou here to do?
After a conversation, it seems that in addition to inconsequential politeness, it is still inconsequential small talk.
The reason why they came to the door was only to thank Mrs. Chen for the recipe that Mrs. Chen gave Mrs. Su a few days ago.
Why do you need to make such a fuss about a recipe?
And the gifts brought also include valuable palace tributes, skin creams.
That skin cream has a good effect on removing scars, and it is extremely precious to pay tribute to the outside world.
The only people who have been injured in Fuzhong recently are Lin Wanwan's brothers and sisters, which should be for them.
But the injuries of the brother and sister have nothing to do with the Hou Mansion, so why bother giving such a valuable injury medicine.
Second Master Chen was like a second monk who was confused, and he fainted with the strength of the wine and went back to the room to rest.
