Chapter 10: First meeting of in-laws
Never thought that she would be caught eavesdropping, and for the first time, Ran Ran found that her face could be so red that she felt hot.
When she encounters someone talking, she shouldn't rush in, but thinking that she wants to live here in the future and eavesdrop on some things that she knows the bottom of, it will be harmless for her. It's just that I didn't expect to accidentally hear a lot of inside stories, and I didn't even feel Miao Ling pulling her clothes.
Listening to the conversation between the mother and son, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are obviously not biological, and the relationship is not good. From Gu Shichang's attitude, it can be heard that his biological mother's identity must be extremely lowly, otherwise he would not be humble to his mother-in-law, but his attitude towards the Yao family is very unkind. Obviously, the Yao family and Mrs. Gu look more like ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it stands to reason that Gu Shichang should not be so disgusted with the daughter-in-law chosen by his mother-in-law.
However, it can be seen that Yao's maiden family must be either rich or expensive, maybe she married the Gu family, but after discovering her husband's identity and attitude, her dissatisfaction with him became increasingly apparent.
It's her mother-in-law again, and it's her family again, and an idea popped up in her heart: The Gu family shouldn't be some declining nobles in Beijing.
Before she could think about it, Shanlin's daughter-in-law appeared.
Seeing the three masters of the Gu family for the first time, Ran Ran was a little nervous, cautiously glanced at Shanlin's daughter-in-law, and followed Miao Ling to greet the three of them.
"The old lady is early, the old lady is early."
Old Madam Gu still smiled, as if she hadn't lost her temper just now, but Yao's face did not hide her annoyance. Anyway, she still felt in her heart that Ran Ran was not worthy of her son, no matter how well Old Madam Gu trained her. Only Gu Shichang looked at Ran Ran seriously, although he was not as disgusted with her as Yao, he naturally muttered in his heart that this wild girl could really save her son.
Ignoring what Gu Shichang and his wife thought, Old Madam Gu beckoned to Ran Ran: "The child is here." ”
Keeping in mind what Shanlin's daughter-in-law said, Ran Ran didn't dare to look at herself as a master anymore, lowered her head, and replied humbly: "Yes, old lady." ”
Ranran's docility made Old Madam Gu very useful, and her words were so gentle that Yao's taste, "You don't need to call me Old Madam in the future, just follow Zhao'er to call Grandmother." ”
This change of tone shocked everyone present.
Although it is just a name, it shows the status of Ran Ran in the heart of Old Madam Gu, and it can be regarded as a reminder to the Yao family. Anyway, she decided that this granddaughter-in-law would make another fuss, and it would be to openly tear up her face.
Ran Ran didn't think about it so much, she just felt that it was always a good thing to be able to play with the most important person in the family, so she called out sweetly in her soft voice: "Grandmother." ”
Old Madam Gu smiled and narrowed her eyes, stroked her head, and said, "From now on, you will move to my courtyard, sooner or later, the Shanlin family will teach you, and when Zhao'er is well, I will hold a make-up banquet for you." ”
didn't think about what it meant to move to Old Madam Gu's courtyard, but the first thought in Ranran's heart was: It seems that the food level of the gang will increase in the future.
Ran Ran didn't dare to let the happy careful thoughts be revealed, still lowered her head, and whispered: "Everything is arranged by grandmother." ”
Although it was not amazing, but Ranran's cautious attitude was still quite praised by Old Madam Gu's mother and son, and Shanlin's daughter-in-law seemed to be very satisfied, looking at her from beginning to end, no one cared about the wonderful changes on Yao's face.
"Then you go down first."
After getting the edict, Shanlin's daughter-in-law led them out of the house, and before she had walked a few steps, Shanlin's daughter-in-law suddenly stopped.
She turned to look at Ranran, "Lady Ran, I'll take Miao Ling to get something, and then I'll come, you wait here for a while, don't walk around." Ran Ran nodded, and Shanlin's daughter-in-law bowed and bowed, and then left with Miao Ling.
For a while, the courtyard was empty, and Ran looked around, and after waiting for a while when no one appeared, she found a clean place nearby and sat down.
Having had little time to sort out her thoughts for the past two days, she picked up a pebble from it, curled up and buried her head in her knees, and reached out to paint lightly on the ground.
The situation of the Gu family was a little unexpected to her, she thought that she was just a big landlord with some fields and houses, but from the tone of Old Madam Gu, the landlord obviously could not compare with them. No matter how you look at a rural nouveau riche when he enters Beijing, he feels that he is a turtle, and the vulgarity of his words and deeds cannot be covered up with the smell of copper, and no matter how poor a down-and-out family is, he can't have a poor temperament.
Old Madam Gu is the latter, although the environment of the Gu family is not so rich that she is staggered, but Gu Shichang's attitude, Shanlin's daughter-in-law's upbringing, and the exquisite details of the family can all show that Old Madam Gu is an extremely particular person. At the age of Old Madam Gu, she naturally would not be deliberately pretentious like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in order to applaud people, and the natural expression of her every move was more like a habit developed over the years.
Ran Ran remembers that she had a mentor who would naturally arch her fingers as soon as she put her hand on the table, as if she was about to play a tune on the flat table at any moment. She said it was a habit that had been taught for twenty years, and once the hand was on the table, it was natural to prepare.
But twenty years of habit makes people react involuntarily, if it were longer. Judging from her experience of mixing in the major libraries at the beginning, someone from the Gu family in Chunyuan's mouth was an official in the capital, and this "someone" should be a close relative of the Gu family, at least a blood relative within three generations.
But between Mrs. Gu's words, it seems that the clan and the capital are two different things, and it seems that this family is isolated, so I don't know if Mrs. Gu's slight sigh is lamenting the scattered people or the middle of the family.
"Lady Ran, what are you doing, why are you alone?" A voice sounded behind Ranran, frightening her to her feet, and hurriedly stepped on the place where she had just painted.
Turning around, there was a maid Yuyan beside Old Madam Gu, and she sneered: "They go get something, let me wait here." ”
Swift was about to go to the laundry room with a stack of clothes in her hand, when she glanced at Ranran, and her eyes fell on the traces that had been secretly erased at her feet.
"In that case, you just wait here, I'll get busy first." Swift nodded, turned and left.
I thought that Swift was here to give her a horse, and my heart beat like a war drum, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw her turn around. I was about to sit back in my place and continue to wait for Shanlin's daughter-in-law, but I noticed that something was shining in the sun not far away.
She walked over curiously to take a look, but it was a unique plum hairpin, the petals are made of red gold, and the hearts of two plum blossoms are also decorated with fine rubies, and the shape and style are very small and small, which is many times more beautiful than the beaded flowers that Miao Ling wore for her.
Ran Ran was a little confused, she didn't find anything on the ground just now, and there was such a plum hairpin for no reason, it shouldn't be a swift falling.
Just thinking about it, Shanlin's daughter-in-law came back, but Miao Ling was gone. Ran Ran hurriedly got up and listened to Shanlin's daughter-in-law whisper: "Lady Ran Ran has kept you waiting for a long time." ”
"It's fine." Ran Ran waved her hand, and then handed the plum hairpin she picked up to Shanlin's daughter-in-law, "Just now my sister in my grandmother's house passed by and dropped this, I don't know if it's hers, please ask my mother." ”
Shanlin's daughter-in-law stretched out her hand to take the plum blossom hairpin, quietly glanced at Ranran, and saw that her expression was as usual, and she didn't even look at the hairpin, so she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and her voice was a lot softer: "It must be that the swift was careless, and I will talk about her when I go back." Okay, Lady Ran, I'll take you around first, and then I'll let Miao Ling help you move your things over, and after lunch, we'll do our homework. ”
