Chapter 288: The Dusty Past
After Qi Miao married Ji Mo, the Shen family was busy informing the Shen family of this matter as soon as possible.
When General Shen and his wife learned the good news, they were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut.
The granddaughter who was held in the palm of her hand and held in her mouth was about to get married, and while the old couple was happy, they were more reluctant and emotional.
Their good granddaughter has grown up and is going to get married, she is an adult!
After learning the news, the two elders began to arrange related matters, wanting to come to the capital before Qi Miao's wedding, and they wanted to see their precious granddaughter get married.
However, there were many affairs in the barracks, and Shen Fang couldn't pull out for a while, so he asked Old Madam Shen to take the first step, and he arrived later.
Qi Zhan returned to Beijing with her.
Knowing that Mrs. Shen and her party were about to arrive in Beijing, Shen and Qi Miao were so happy that they didn't sleep all night, and got up early the next day.
After waiting for more than an hour, I finally saw the carriage of the Shen family.
"Miao'er, your grandmother and Zhan'er are back." Shen shook Qi Miao's hand, and his voice was a little choked.
I haven't seen my mother for two years, and I miss it all the time, and I'm about to see it soon, how can I not be excited.
Qi Miao's mood was even more excited than her mother.
My grandfather's family, in addition to the strong family affection, I am also more grateful.
Thinking about those eight years, if it weren't for her grandfather's family who gave her endless tolerance and love, she might not have lived safely until now.
Not every grandfather's family is mean and disdainful of their granddaughter like the Shen family.
What's more, she told outsiders very bluntly about the situation at that time. She is not favored in the Anning Hou Mansion, she is disliked by the Qi family, a little girl who is not favored in the Qi family. has become a treasure in the eyes of the Shen family.
Therefore, she is lucky and happy, and she is favored by God.
Thinking of the past, Qi Miao sighed.
She and her mother hurried to the carriage.
They were excited, and Mrs. Shen was also eager to see them, so she had already lifted the curtain of the car and saw the two of them coming. Quickly ask the driver to stop the car.
Although Mrs. Shen is over sixty years old, she is still in good spirits and has a vigorous pace. People who don't know her definitely think that she is no more than fifty years.
Although her appearance is not a beauty, her aura and spirit are beyond the reach of ladies of the same age. Let you look like a fairy. She was dwarfed by her old man.
"Mother!"
"Grandmother!"
Shen and Qi Miao stepped forward with tears in their eyes, and hugged Old Madam Shen left and right.
"Good boy!" Old Madam Shen also burst into tears.
Qi Zhan jumped down from a carriage behind him and called as he ran, "Mother, sister!" ”
Qi Miao hurriedly turned his head to look behind him.
After more than a year of training in the barracks, Qi Zhan's complexion is darker than before, and his face has faded from his youthfulness and childishness, and he is obviously much more mature and stable.
"Brother!"
"Zhan'er!"
Qi Miao and Shen called in unison.
It was not only Mrs. Shen who came this time. There are also Qi Miao's two aunts, and the eldest aunt wants to stay in Yanguan to take care of the house. Unable to accompany you.
The cousins also came with Shen Fang when they arrived.
When relatives meet again after a long absence, they have a full stomach to confide, and on the way to the Anning Marquis Mansion, there are constant voices in the carriage.
For Old Madam Shen, in addition to caring about Qi Miao and Ji Mo's family affairs, there is one thing that she has always been unable to let go, that is, the relationship between Shen and Qi Zhengzhi.
It's just that at this moment, in front of everyone, she can't ask.
When the group arrived at the Anning Hou Mansion, Ma had already ordered someone to open the main gate and greeted them at the door with the Qi Zhengning brothers.
To put it bluntly, if Mrs. Shen had come a year ago, not to mention that the Ma family would not have come to greet her in person, it would be difficult to say whether the main door would have been opened or not.
For Mrs. Shen, Ma has an inextricable knot and has hated her for decades.
Even if he came to greet her now, Ma was a little reluctant.
But now the Hou Mansion is in a mess, Qi Miao is about to marry Ji Mo and become the princess, and the Hou Mansion will rely on Qi Miao to support and protect it in the future, Ma knows that Qi Miao has great respect for Old Madam Shen, but he doesn't dare to snub Old Madam Shen and make Qi Miao unhappy.
So, when Ma knew that the old lady of the Shen family could go to the capital today, she asked the Shen family about the preferences of the old lady Shen a few days in advance, and then asked the housekeeper to prepare.
Rao is Ma Shi has done enough psychological construction in advance, but when he really saw Old Madam Shen, there was still endless jealousy and hatred in the depths of his heart.
Rong's ah, Rong's, after so many years, not only did you not die, but you are still alive and energetic, and God is really blind.
If Old Madam Shen looked depressed and haggard, Ma might feel happier in her heart, but her old man was radiant and imposing, which made Ma's heart feel like being fried in an oil pan, and it hurt to the bone marrow.
Especially thinking about the identity and status of Old Madam Shen at this time, thinking about the half-dead Qi Changxin, and his indifference to her over the years, Ma Shi felt more and more bored in life and hated Old Madam Shen even more.
With this hatred in his heart, the warm welcome speech that Ma had thought of before became a short two sentences, "My mother-in-law has come from afar to work hard, so let's go into the house and rest." ”
Then she said she had a headache, and asked Qi Zhengning and Liu to help greet Mrs. Shen, and left first.
Ma's coldness not only made Shen and Qi Miao frown slightly, but even Qi Zhengning and the others were very puzzled.
Mother, what's wrong?
It was okay just now, and let us greet Mrs. Shen warmly, and we must not lose the face of the Marquis of Anning's mansion, why did she leave by herself.
Only Old Madam Shen's face remained unchanged, and she could see the gloom and loneliness from the back of Ma's departure.
Alas, why bother, all these years have passed, why can't you let go?
In this way, you are not torturing others, but yourself!
Old Madam Shen sighed for Ma in her heart.
She knew why Ma didn't want to see her, just because Ma also fell in love with Shen Fang back then, and was bent on marrying him.
Ma is better looking than her, and her family background is better than her, but the last person Shen Fang chose was her, which made Ma unable to accept this fact, so he hated her.
And this hatred is more than forty years!
Yes, let a person hate herself for so long, she is worth it.
Old Madam Shen patted the hands of Shen and Qi Miao, and smiled brightly, "I know that I am coming, my mother-in-law has been tired these days, let's hurry into the house." ”
Qi Zhengning and the others hurriedly greeted Mrs. Shen and her party into the house.
After everyone greeted each other, they set up a banquet for them to wash the wind and dust.
However, from beginning to end, Old Madam Shen did not see Qi Changxin and Qi Zhengzhi.
The two of them are still very different from normal people at the moment, so Ma didn't arrange for them to come out to meet guests, and of course she didn't come by herself.
After some excitement, Mrs. Shen and Shen sat in the inner room of Begonia Garden, and her old man had something to say.
And Qi Zhan also pulled Qi Miao and found a place where no one had something to say.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Qi Miao saw her brother's serious look and asked curiously.
"Sister, why are you suddenly going to marry the Ninth Prince?" Qi Zhan frowned and asked, looking unhappy.
Belch!
This sentence made Qi Miao stunned, and she really didn't know how to answer.
Qi Zhan continued, "What do you want Brother Luo to do?" (To be continued.) )
