Chapter 197: The One Who Seeks Relatives
Since the third sister got into trouble that day, Ling'er no longer let her go out, and locked her in the yard every day to learn the rules. [Ran^Text^Library] []
A few days later, my sister-in-law gave birth to a pair of twins, which made the family so happy that they revolved around the pair of babies all day long.
Although Daqiang is the adopted son of the Yang family, he knows his real surname, surnamed Yu but not Yang, and now he has two children at once, he did not hesitate to name the eldest son Yang Dashuang, and the younger one called Yu Xiaoshuang, so the best of both worlds. Of course, the happiest thing is still the father and mother, and the old lady immediately ran to kneel down to worship the ancestors with tears in her eyes: "God has opened his eyes, and our Yang family also has a queen!" ”
The New Year is coming up in a few days, and the big and small pairs will be full moon in the first month, and the father and mother have long been preparing for their full moon wine, and they will buy it together with the New Year's goods.
On this morning, the family was counting things in the hall, and suddenly heard that the little girl came to report that there were several magnificent carriages outside the door, and two gilded greetings were also given.
Although the old lady was illiterate, when she saw that the worship post was something for the rich and noble, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Ling'er also felt strange, how could she have any rich relatives in her family? Who the hell is coming?
She went out first, and when she went to the door, she saw several large carriages parked outside, and the clothes that adorned the heads and the servants looked like the style of a large family.
She stood at the door for a while, and a small servant came up: "May I ask this girl, are you here as a member of the family?" ”
Ling'er nodded: "Yes, where are you?" What's the matter with my parents? ”
Hearing this, the little girl couldn't help but look Ling'er up and down, and said in surprise: "You...... Are you the little lady? ”
Ling'er frowned, what little miss? At this moment, the curtain of the carriage at the front was lifted, and a delicate girl of fifteen or sixteen years old stretched out her head to look at it, then jumped out of the carriage, set up a small stool, and stood aside.
Then came a woman in her forties, her hair meticulously combed, and she turned back and carefully put her arm into the carriage, and helped out an old lady in her fifties, dressed in ermine fur, with a rich face and rich clothes.
The old lady noticed Ling'er as soon as she got out of the car. She stared at Ling'er's face without blinking, first surprised, then a little excited, and pointed at Ling'er with one hand: "You-you...... Is it Yeon's child? ”
The woman helped the old lady three steps and two steps to Ling'er. The old lady's trembling hand gently stroked Ling'er's face, and tears flashed in her eyes: "Like, like it!" ”
The woman smiled and said, "No, Miss Biao and our third miss are simply printed in the same mold." ”
Ling'er didn't understand what they were talking about, she tilted her head slightly to avoid the old lady's hand and took a step back. "May I ask what you are looking for your father and mother?"
The woman and the old lady looked at each other, and the old lady said, "Hey, I am so happy that I have forgotten the etiquette, let's go and meet the child's father-in-law!" Then she beckoned to Ling'er: "Child, come here, I'm your grandmother!" ”
Grandmother?! Where did my grandmother come from? Ling'er couldn't help but carefully look at the face of the old lady in front of her. Hey, don't say it, look closely, this old lady's eyebrows and eyes are really similar to herself! But...... So many years. If she was really her grandmother, why didn't she come sooner? And your own biological parents? Why not come? Ling'er was three points happy, three points lost, and four points of vigilance and rejection.
"Ling'er, who is it?" The old man and the old lady were helped out, and when they saw the person at the door, they were completely impressed, and the old lady said, "You guys...... Who are you looking for? ”
The old lady said happily: "This child's name is Ling'er? Good name! Old brother and sister, you must be the child's grandfather and grandmother, right? The old body is abrupt, come on! ”
The old lady shouted, and the previous pretty girl immediately sent a beautifully printed booklet. A carriage had to come and stop in front of the door, and the old lady stepped forward and took the old lady's hand and put the booklet in her hand: "Old sister, you came in a hurry, and you didn't prepare anything decent." Don't be disgusted. ”
The old lady took the booklet with a blank face, she flipped left and right and didn't know how to read, she was illiterate, Ling'er leaned over and saw the two gilded big characters on the booklet 'gift list'.
Is this a gift list? Such a thick one? The old lady simply handed the booklet to Ling'er, and said embarrassedly to the old lady: "The old woman is illiterate." Hehe, let my sister laugh! ”
The old lady's face froze for a moment, but she immediately smiled and bent her eyes: "Sister, don't say that, this ......"
The old lady reacted: "Oh, look at me, I'm confused, come on, come on, sister, please sit inside." ”
The old lady politely greeted the old lady and walked in, the old lady nodded with a smile, held the woman's hand and paced with a smile, looking at the house as she walked.
Ling'er opened the gift list and looked at it, tsk, it's really a big deal, what gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, jade ornaments are available, and it is full of carriages, Ling'er roughly calculated, such things, to say the least, can be worth two or three thousand taels of silver, right? Is this still called 'nothing decent'?
The coachman asked, "Little lady, where are the things unloaded?" ”
Ling'er thought for a while: "Don't worry, please drive the carriage to the side door, and I will arrange for someone to bring you some food." ”
The coachman hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, little miss, you have tormented the old slave." ”
Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, she was really not used to this way of talking, what could she do, who told us that we had been country girls since childhood? The tenth sister jumped out and said softly: "Sister Ling'er, my mother told you to go in." ”
Ling'er nodded, and the tenth sister grabbed her: "Sister Ling'er, is that person really your grandmother?" ”
"I don't know."
"That'...... Are you going to go with her? ”
This one...... It's too early to say this, and who knows if the old lady has recognized the wrong person?
Ling'er came to the guest hall and saw that the old lady and the old lady were talking very happily, and the old lady was happy when she saw her: "Ling'er, Ling'er come here, this is your grandmother, call someone quickly." ”
The old lady looked at it, but Ling'er didn't respond, just lowered her head and stood behind the old lady, the old lady's eyes flashed, and the old lady hurriedly apologized: "Ling'er, this girl is usually very well-behaved, maybe...... It was too sudden, she hadn't turned her mind yet, and her sister didn't take it to heart. ”
The old lady shook her head with a smile: "Where! I have been tired of taking care of my sister many times over the years, and I thank my sister for my daughter! ”
The old lady smiled modestly, thought about it and asked, "By the way, why don't you see Ling'er's biological father and mother coming?" ”
The old lady's face froze, and she sighed, "Alas, they have passed away a long time ago. ”
"Huh? How so? ”
"Alas, the world is unpredictable! There was a drought in Cangzhou that year, and many people were infected with the plague, and my daughter and son-in-law did not escape, but I pity this child, who has been living abroad since childhood, and we have been looking for so many years, but fortunately, we finally found it. ”
The old lady looked at Ling'er: "Child, my grandmother has been thinking about you all these years, and your two uncles are also worried about you, is it okay for you to go home with your grandmother?" (To be continued.) )
