Chapter 16: Aunt Tai
An Ruozhi was slightly stunned after hearing this, hurriedly knelt down, and said gratefully, "Huaide should obey the old lady's orders, so he took a few children and asked his aunt to go." ”
"Mother!" The British duchess looked at the lady in disbelief, and her heart was scorched.
After hearing this, Angel didn't feel that the look in her eyes was shallow, and asked in a low voice to Bing'er on the side, "Are things ready?" ”
Bing'er nodded, "It's ready, I'll send it to all the masters in the evening,"
"No, I'll send it over right away, your steps are fast, and now I'll send it to a few masters, just say that it's some filial piety of me, a junior, and the old lady said that it was not good to take her things for nothing, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take it out and lose face, so it was too late." Although Angel is famous and famous at the moment, it is not someone else's family in the end, and the gift she gives is lighter for fear of losing face, and no one will blame her.
"Yes, slave and maid are going!" Bing'er dodged and disappeared from the crowd.
"Sister, what are you muttering to the girl! I didn't even notice that I was left behind us, sister, where did your maid go again? An Meng'er's voice sounded there again, and Nalan An Ruozhi frowned, this little daughter is so ignorant that she is actually fighting on other people's territory.
Angel took a deep breath, and glanced at An Lin'er who was watching the play behind her, this sister is really idiotic enough, and she doesn't even take one-tenth of her sister's intelligence, "My girl was a little uncomfortable when she came out, and she was in a hurry to find a thatched house, and she probably couldn't serve me in the past few days." ”
"Yo, the time is really good, I started to have diarrhea when I came to the British Mansion, which is strange!" An Meng'er said in a weird way, as if Angel had asked that girl to do something unseemly.
"Okay, it's normal for people to have three poles, but Qi'er, don't wear things that can't be put on the table in the future, if you encounter something, you will be in a hurry, it will only make people laugh." Nalan June's tone was tinged with anger, although he accused Angel, but he also gave a step to the few people present.
Angel said gently, "Yes, my daughter remembers her mother's teachings, and this kind of thing will not happen again in the future." ”
An Meng'er snorted coldly, even the eyes were extravagant to the two of them, An Ruozhi on the side was a little distressed, at this moment, Nalan June was his wife who was marrying Ming Media, and Angel was the daughter of the person he loved the most, and the two of them gave An Meng'er the stairs, but they didn't expect that since this daughter was so faceless to the two, she was going to have a seizure right now.
"Sir, let's go in quickly! Don't keep your aunt waiting. Nalan June took An Ruozhi's hand behind him, and shook his head lightly, he had already arrived at Aunt Lan's yard, and he couldn't teach his daughter a lesson at this time.
An Ruozhi also shook his head helplessly, he was too anxious just now, and stepped into the gate of Orchid Garden, feeling more and more guilty about his wife and daughter.
The area of the orchid garden is not large, it is a main courtyard and ear room, there are a few osmanthus trees planted in the yard, there is a well in the corner, the general girl and the lady are almost all taken from this well, an old woman is struggling to sweep the fallen leaves piled up on the ground, obviously she is a little too old to do anything, and she has to take a rest when she sweeps, and she can't do anything.
An Ruozhi was a little sad after seeing it, and walked into the main courtyard in three or two steps, and a woman with gray hair and a dark yellow face had already been looking forward to it.
Angel bit her lip, she didn't feel a little red between her snorts, this courtyard can't be compared with the previous main courtyards, there are no precious flowers, no magnificent furnishings, not even a maid with quick hands and feet, just ask which master's clothes are to be washed in the yard.
"Auntie!" An Ruozhi's voice was a little choked, Lan was much younger than the British duchess, the graceful woman in the past had long since lost her face at this moment, her temples were white, her face was dull, her eyes were squinted, with faint crow's feet, and her hands were as withered as old trees.
When Aunt Lan saw An Ruozhi, she smiled faintly, with a little nervousness in her expression, afraid that if her voice was loud, An Ruozhi would disappear, "The third master is back?" ”
"Yes, Wilder is back, back to visit my aunt." An Ruozhi's voice was firm, and his dark eyes looked at the woman in the first seat without blinking, and his knees didn't feel like they were going to fall.
Aunt Lan hurriedly slipped off the chair, and rushed to An Ruozhi in three or two, "What is the third master doing?" You are now a member of the three grades, this ...... Kneel me as a slave, this is unreasonable! ”
Aunt Lan is An Ruozhi's biological mother, although she is a noble concubine, she still can't escape the title of a concubine, and she is just an aunt in the British Mansion, and she still can't enter the ancestral shrine of the An family after death.
Angel knelt beside her father, "Aunt Tai, please take a seat, although Aunt Tai is not the master, she is still my father's mother-in-law, the elders of our children, the elders are worshiped by the younger generations, what is unreasonable." ”
Although Angel was still in infancy at that time, she remembered very well that An Ruozhi had not yet been separated from the house at that time, and she was in a foreign office, she was just born and lived in the British Mansion, and accidentally caught a cold when she slept at night.
At that time, my mother used all the money to maintain the life of the family, and every month was a tight life, where was there any extra money to take care of the relationship in the family, and the aunt gave a little gold jewelry in her early years to the housekeeper little by little, which saved her life, and Angel was also very touched by this aunt.
Aunt Lan's tears were about to fall, the moment she saw Angel, she knew who this girl was, the daughter-in-law who shared the joys and sorrows with her son in the early years, the only daughter was already a big girl, but unfortunately her daughter-in-law who died early could no longer see that this child was about to enter the palace and become a human being.
Aunt Lan dreamed of being worshiped by her own son, who was her biological son, but she was just a girl serving tea and water in front of the old lady, and letting An Ruozhi kneel and kowtow to her would affect the child's career, which was also the situation she didn't want to see the most, so no matter how sad she was, she had to endure it.
Biting his lip with difficulty, "How can I, an old woman, take on such a big gift as a little nobleman, isn't this a torture slave?" With that, he knelt the cold marble floor.
Nalan June's eyes are also red, she is also a concubine, and no one can understand the embarrassment of her children and aunt more than her, "Aunt Tai, please hurry up, let us say hello to you!" This is what Mrs. Tai promised, do you want me and the third master and so many children to be charged with unfilial piety? ”
Aunt Lan said that she didn't dare to say that she didn't dare to do so, and mechanically let the grandmother on the side help her to the seat, and watched her juniors respectfully salute her.
"Quick, hurry up and serve tea to the third master, the third wife, and a few young ladies on the seats!" The aunt was very happy, and commanded the grandmother beside her to do that, "It's rare for the third master to come back once, but the old lady doesn't have anything good to entertain the third master here, only some coarse tea can still cover her mouth, and don't dislike the third master." ”
A hint of disdain flashed in An Meng'er's eyes, this old lady was actually her own grandmother, which really made her unwilling to believe it, An Lin'er picked her nails, as if she didn't care about this matter, but the smile on the corner of her mouth still betrayed his feelings, only Angel looked at it indifferently.
An Ruozhi shook his head, "Auntie, the things here are all enjoyed by Huaide since childhood, so why dislike it." ”
Aunt Lan didn't care, and glanced at the delicate girl standing beside Nalan June, "This should be Miss Qi'er!" I heard that I will be the little master of the palace in a few days, and the slave and maid will give you a greeting here. After speaking, he was about to bow down and bow.
Seeing this situation, Angel hurriedly walked in front of Aunt Lan in three or two steps, "Aunt Tai doesn't have to worship me, not to mention that I am not the little master of the palace at the moment, even if I am the little master of the palace, it should not be you, the elder, who kneel and bow to me, Jieyu and below are all slaves, and Aunt Tai's big gift Qi'er can't stand it." "Changed the frost on the side again" This time Qi'er came in a hurry, and did not prepare anything good, this is a high-quality poria, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach and calming the nerves, and it is the most nourishing to let the girl boil porridge to drink. ”
"This ......" looked at Angel carefully holding the box, she said that it was not good to accept Ya, and it was not good not to accept it, and she really didn't know how to deal with herself.
Seeing such a scene, An Ruozhi patted his biological mother's hand and said, "Aunt accepts it, it is always Qi'er's heart, and Poria cocos is a great tonic, but it is not as rare as ginseng and deer antler. ”
Aunt Lan glanced at An Ruo nervously, carefully took the box, handed it to the grandmother beside her, and took out a sapphire hairpin from under her sleeve, "This is the love thing that Grandpa Guo gave me back then, the old woman is old, and it is not very suitable to carry it, so I will give it to Miss Qi'er, Miss Qi'er's entry into the palace this time is a blessing or a curse, and it is not my slave who can intervene." I just want to inform the little master that the woman's body is big, don't rush to have a child after entering the palace, and raise the body first. ”
