Chapter 132: New Year's Greetings
In just two years, the British government has long been unchanging, and it seems that only the pair of stone lions with teeth and claws, the old housekeeper who helped him in his youth, has also returned to his hometown.
When he was a teenager, this huge mansion was like a bloody mouth, which made people panic, and at that time, An Ruozhi's biggest wish seemed to be only one, then he grew up quickly, and after learning his skills, he could leave this place quickly.
When he came back, he and his grandfather, at this moment, it seemed that this mansion was just a huge house, and the changes of time and people's moods were constantly changing.
The two sons turned over and dismounted, stood behind An Ruozhi, looking at the huge plaque, a hint of sarcasm flashed in their eyes.
An Yecheng is elegant in the wind, with a dusty temperament, with innate nobility and elegance, from time to time to look at the little wife on the side, and the youngest son who has just turned half a year old.
An Yeting is becoming more and more charming, with a pair of blue earrings, under the sun, the bright skin is like a transparent color, and the corners of his mouth are full of eternal evil smiles, a whole demon.
As for An Yeting's appearance, not to mention the people of the An family, even the whole army is very depressed, training under the sun for a summer, he has already become a black charcoal, but this guy is like a person who has nothing to do, compared with the best-looking girl in Shengjing, he is three points better.
With one hand, he gently pinched the blue rose stud earrings on his ears, and his tone was full of impatience, "It's finally here, I thought the British Mansion was still 108,000 miles away from our family!" ”
An Ruozhi's other two sons, as soon as they got off the horse, heard their second brother's words, and they were all excited, they all knew that their second brother was notoriously out of tune, but he was reasonable, what he did and what he said had a deep meaning.
What he wanted to say was that the distance between the two families was 108,000 miles, or did he want to say that the status of the two families was 108,000 miles apart at the moment.
If it's the former, everyone will listen to it as a joke, if it's the latter, the two of them would rather not hear it today, how can they start to sarcastically mock the status of other people's families when they are at the door of other people's houses, and after entering the door, they don't know what he wants to say.
When Mrs. An heard An Yeting's words, she immediately rolled her eyes, but she didn't blame, but on the contrary, she had a hint of schadenfreude, "Okay, let's go in!" ”
Under the defense of men and women, Mrs. An took a group of her juniors to ask for peace to the British duchess, and An Ruozhi took her sons to kowtow to the British duchess.
The British duchess is old, and she doesn't sleep very well, so she wakes up when the sky is bright, and asks people to boil tea in the house, put a lot of melons and fruits and snacks, and wait for the juniors to come to say goodbye.
It was rumored outside the door that the old lady of Guannei Hou brought her daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and great-grandson to greet the British lady, and the British duchess heard the word "eldest grandson", her eyes were comparable to a 500-watt light bulb, and the eldest grandson of Mrs. Hou in Guannei was her great-great-grandson.
"Hurry up, it's a cold day outside, why don't you hurry up and invite them in, what if it's freezing?"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the British duchess present was gloomy and could drip water, her mother-in-law had never been so kind to herself for so many years, and as soon as the little woman raised something, the old lady was so partial, where did she go?
When Mrs. An came in, the British duchess smiled at her, and when she finished her salute, she let her do it to her side, with a pair of eyes, staring closely at the white boy in the arms of the county lord Lingxin, and she was a little reluctant to take her eyes away.
"This should be Xiao Qiyun! Quick, hug it and show me. ”
The British duchess has lived to this age, it is already a rare time, and the people who settle down to the Neihou Mansion will support it, for the sake of the face of the clan, and will not let the British Mansion disappear like this, the British Duchess The greatest wish is to see the next generation.
The little princess had no children at all, several concubines were gone, and the lord of Sizhu only gave birth to a daughter, and the British Mansion was a miasma, and she was upset when she looked at her, and the appearance of Qiyun greatly comforted the old man's fragile nerves.
Speaking of his son, the eldest grandson Xuehui was also full of joy, and the light-footed child handed it to the nanny, "Old lady, you have to be careful, this little guy is tight, don't be troubled by him." ”
Looking at the little fat man in the big red satin, the eldest grandson Xuehui said that everything was in vain, a pair of hands full of old age spots, tightly locked the small meat ball in her arms, as if she was afraid that others would rob her.
Qiyun is only half a year old, but he can already recognize people and things, seeing that he was suddenly held by a stranger, he twisted his body a little impatiently, as if expressing his dissatisfaction, his small mouth wrinkled into a sharp 0 shape, and the sound of babbling kept occurring.
The British duchess was overjoyed, grabbing his little flesh and scratching, "This child is so cute, so smart at such a young age, he will definitely become a pillar of the country like his father and uncle in the future." ”
The British duchess is not talking big, the children of ordinary wealthy families are well-educated, and it is impossible for them to be so spiritual when they are only half a year old.
Mrs. An smiled with satisfaction, her two grandsons have always been her pride, and seeing her great-grandson so smart at such a young age, Mrs. An also has high hopes.
"The concubine doesn't ask Qiyun to have much interest, as long as she can grow up safely, it's good."
"Lan'er, you don't need such regrets, when the feng shui master entered the mansion to tell fortunes, do you remember? She also told a few of you fortunes, and he said at the time, you will enjoy happiness in your old age, and you will definitely have children and grandchildren in the future, and there will be no shortage of children and grandchildren. You see, isn't this a fulfillment one by one? This child must be talented in the future, and it is necessary to have a good upbringing" Seeing that Mrs. An was not energetic, the British duchess also put down her body and comforted her.
In that year, a famous feng shui master entered the mansion and told the fortune of the British duchess, and by the way, he also saw the fate of a few personal maids, and among several people, she had the best fate, which was the fate of the rich and noble in her later years.
Thinking of the past, Mrs. An chose to smile and not speak, picked up the teacup, slightly bitter and sweet, attacking the taste buds, as if she suddenly remembered something, and glanced at the British old lady with some embarrassment.
"Old lady, the concubine has a reluctant request."
The British old lady was slightly stunned after hearing this, and glanced at Mrs. An with some surprise.
The British Duchess Ye, but she smiled coldly, in the end, it was something that could not be put on the table, she leisurely picked up the teacup, and said without being salty or light, "Sister, you said that the New Year, you came to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady, why do you still have so many requests, this is spreading, I don't know how outsiders want to criticize our British Mansion!" ”
The British old lady's face is also a little unsightly, this is not for Mrs. An, but for her daughter-in-law is very blind, this woman speaks, she doesn't even distinguish the occasion, she really lives more and more.
"Okay, if you don't know how to speak, shut up for me. Lan'er, if you have anything, just say it. The two tones before and after made clear the status of the two daughters-in-law in the old lady's heart.
Mrs. An did not feel any anger at the words of the British duchess, after so many years, did she still care about a word or two?
glanced at the county lord Lingxin, and then smiled sincerely, "That's the case, the eldest grandson, some time ago, the news of pregnancy was diagnosed again, and after a while, during the banquet, some things were not very edible, and the old lady was asked to atone for her sins." ”
As soon as she heard the news of the eldest grandson's pregnancy, the British duchess immediately became energetic, laughed, and laughed, not to mention how satisfied the great-granddaughter-in-law of the great-grandson is in her heart, it is not difficult to hold two after entering the door for three years, and it is still a concubine.
"How many months?"
"Back to my great-grandmother's words, it's only been a month!" A trace of blush flashed on the eldest grandson Xuehui's face, but her demeanor seemed to be down-to-earth and generous, and she did not fall behind the face of the daughter of the royal family at all.
The British old lady nodded, instructed her mother beside her about lunch, asked the kitchen to cook more nourishing food for pregnant women, and also asked people to take out blood swallows and stew them for the eldest grandson Xuehui to drink, and let people pack a lot of high-quality medicinal materials, don't be short-mouthed.
The British duchess's face was hard to see, looking at the lord of Sizhu, her eyes were not right, her nose was not her nose, and she didn't know what was going on, so she let her grandson take such a mourning star.
It doesn't matter if the son can't be born, he doesn't even have a brain, he is jealous all day long, and he doesn't know how to respect his elders, he deserves to be snubbed by his husband.
Lord Sizhu didn't know that because of this incident, another tragic day in her life was about to begin, and the arrival of those two women was almost beaten to death.
At the moment, all her body and mind were placed on the stomach of the county lord of Lingxin, as if the county lord of Lingxin was not a child in the belly, but a complete demon.
Thinking that when she was in the palace, she suppressed their mother and daughter everywhere, and after getting married, this woman married just a side line of the British government, and she married the second young master of the ancient British mansion.
The eldest grandson Xuehui, a slut, occupies the position of the lord of the county, her mother became a side concubine, and she became the princess herself.
Miss her! After marrying in, the elders are pressing, and the juniors are calculating with each other, the husband spends all day long, and as long as there are a little beautiful women in the yard, they all have an affair with him, and even get involved with their own maids, openly asking for concubines.
Although she is the lord of the county, she is not the lord of the county, except for an empty title after the family, the original grade and treatment are to be taken back by the court, to put it bluntly, his husband has no fame, and he does not ask the court for her to be crowned, she is a flat-headed commoner.
This made her almost crazy, the eldest grandson Xuehui was just a title of the county lord at the beginning, and after getting married, there was also a decree of the second product, and the lady of Guan Neihou, who was promoted to the first product in the future, was ironclad, and there was no comparison between the two, which made her how could she bear it.
I gave birth to a money-losing product, my husband didn't hurt, my grandmother didn't love her, and my great-grandmother regarded her as a tool when she was born, and her health was not very good, thinking about her poor daughter, Lord Sizhu had an indescribable sour feeling in her heart.
It was not enough for the eldest grandson Xuehui to give birth to a son, but she was pregnant with another one at the moment, no matter whether the child was male or female, it was enough to make her hate it.
The British duchess is full of joy, who would dislike her own children and grandchildren, in her opinion, it would be good for the county lord Lingxin to have a few more, that is the descendants of the An family.
"Come on, quick, bring the little golden lock in my room." Mrs. Gu of England is more and more fond of this lovely child, if it is not for the conditions, she really hopes that this child will be raised by her side.
After a while, Mama took out a brocade box, and among the crimson silk lay a peace ruyi lock inlaid with format jade jewelry, a peace lock, a lock peace, and a set of hand rings and ankle rings, the style and design style are very different from the peace lock, don't underestimate this set of peace locks, if there is no one thousand taels, it is absolutely impossible to buy it.
"Mother!?" The English duchess clung to the veil tightly to prevent herself from criing out, she never expected the old woman to take this thing out.
When Mrs. An saw this thing, she was also stunned, and glanced at Xiao Qiyun in her arms, not knowing whether to be happy or embarrassed.
"Mother, the concubine remembers, this is your dowry, how can you give it to your child?" Mrs. An said faintly, it doesn't matter if it is a precious gold lock, this is what the old lady has been wearing since she was a child.
The British duchess waved her hand casually, "What is this, this thing was originally for children, I am old, it is not good to keep it all the time, it is better to give it to my little great-grandson." Lock up this little meat dumpling, let him grow up peacefully, besides, the safe lock is freshly made, it's not as good as the ancestral heirloom, I just have one here, just give it to this little guy! ”
After hearing this, the county lord of Lingxin realized that his mother-in-law's face flashed and twisted just now, this thing is not only precious, but it is also the dowry of the British duchess, presumably, there should be some special meaning, right!?
Hearing that it was actually the marriage of the British duchess, the county lord of Sizhu couldn't wait to rush out of the door immediately and go back to take a cold shower to extinguish the anger in his body.
Damn it! The old lady of England actually gave this evil seed her own dowry, and her daughter dangled in front of her every day, and she did not see this old woman reward her daughter with anything, and her daughter's peace lock was still made of silver made by her, and even the jewels on it were glass.
When she got married, she also got a lot of dowry, and her biological mother supported her financially, after entering the British government, the correspondence between the concubines, relatives and friends gave each other a gift or something, plus she was not good at management, her dowry had already been lost, and the British old lady saw that she couldn't live, and she didn't know how to do things.
When he saw that his eldest granddaughter could only wear a silver peace lock like the ordinary people, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't help, and just said to the British public.
In the ordinary merchant's house, the child's safety lock is also made of pure gold, and the eldest granddaughter of the British duke carries such a thing, so she really doesn't want to look like it, so she lets the elders reward one.
The British prince has always been reluctant to meddle in the affairs of the inner court, and the lord of Sizhu gave birth to a daughter, so he didn't bother to do it, so he threw it to the British lady at will.
The British duchess and her granddaughter-in-law are simply enemies who are very red when they meet, it is not good to see her, and it is just a matter of not gloating, where will they really help her to do something, just tell the other party that there is already one in the gold jewelry shop, and it will take a while to get it back, so it has been dragging it out.
Mrs. An saw that it was not easy to shirk, so she took out a list and handed it to the old lady of England, "This is the gift list for the New Year's Festival, and some are extra, and please look at the old lady." ”
Hearing the two words of the gift list, the British old lady was angry and funny, and she was particularly shirking the gift list, "I'm a lot of old people, how can I still ask for your things?" There is no shortage of these things in a family business as big as the British government, and it is rare for the family to come back, and I will be satisfied with a good meal with me. ”
"Yes, yes!" What does Mrs. An have to give things to the British old lady, "This New Year's ceremony, but the rules of the ancestors, those of us who are juniors can't shirk it, and the concubine knows that the old lady doesn't like extravagant things, so she will follow the rules of the New Year's holiday." Some other things are Qiyun's, saying that everything is the first time to see you, and they all have to prepare something for the elders, this is the rule, and it is not easy to fall behind. ”
After hearing this, the British duchess glanced at the gift list, and there was nothing extravagant, some gold, silver and jade only had some special significance, and the others were all in accordance with the rules, so they were all accepted according to the order.
He withdrew the blood jade bracelet on his wrist and beckoned to the eldest grandson Xuehui, who was sitting at the bottom, "Child, come here, let me take a good look at you, old woman." ”
"Great-grandmother!" The eldest grandson Xuehui was used to the rules, and she didn't rush forward, and made a small salute in front of the British duchess, and then walked up with lotus steps.
The more the British old lady looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and pulled the other party's wrist, "Girl, give, reward you, you are a junior, and you are a big year, this is the New Year's money." ”
