Chapter Seventy-One: Strange (2nd Update)
Wenxin Marquis Mansion.
I heard that the old lady had returned from the palace, and An Shiyan, who had just returned to the house, couldn't care about going back to the room to rest, so she hurriedly took her wife and children to greet the old lady.
The old lady got together with the old sisters in the palace, and now she was in a very good mood, and when she saw An Shiyan and the four of them come to ask for peace, she was very kind and pleasant, and asked them about their return to Mengguofu Province.
An Shiyan didn't dare to answer honestly, only stumbled and said in a flash.
The old lady saw that he was uncomfortable, sighed helplessly in her heart, and asked no more.
However, Meng Shi saw that the old lady was in a good mood, and pretended to ask casually, "Why did my mother come back so early?" I listened to my sister-in-law's words, and I thought that my mother would not return until evening. ”
She originally wanted to inquire about the truth and see if Qiao's statement that Mrs. Meng would return home in the evening was true.
But this time she learned wiser and knew how to turn a corner and ask questions.
The old lady was so transparent, she naturally heard her voice, lifted her eyelids, and said lightly: "When people are old, they naturally can't compare to the spirit of young people, and when they feel tired, they go back early." ”
Don't mention Mrs. Meng at all.
Meng Shi sighed, pinched the Jinpa in his hand, and asked, "I don't know...... I don't know if my mother can see her daughter-in-law in the palace? The daughter-in-law heard that she had also entered the palace. After asking, he blushed first.
They were all summoned by the Queen Mother, where could they not have seen it?
The reason why she asked knowingly was to lead the topic to her mother.
It's just a pity that she used it the wrong way.
Hearing this, the old lady lowered her eyelids and turned her head to drink tea. looked too lazy to speak.
Originally, she thought that Meng Shi had gone back to her mother's house and entered, but she knew that she had knocked on the side. It's just that I didn't think about it and just said two sentences and showed my clumsiness, I really responded to that sentence that the mud can't support the wall.
Looked at. Meng couldn't help but feel worried.
For fear of upsetting the old lady again, she hurriedly looked at An Shiyan.
An Shiyan sat in the chair without saying a word, and when he received Meng Shi's gaze for help, his heart was a little heavier.
A sense of burnout that he had never felt before came to his heart, and he only felt that the recent days had passed longer than the year.
With a wooden face, he said indifferently: "If you want to ask anything, just ask directly." "I didn't mean to speak for her.
I didn't expect him to react like this, Meng Shi's face suddenly sneered, and he said, "I, I just asked casually." ”
After speaking. She felt aggrieved again, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and kept glancing at An Shiyan with a pair of watery eyes.
An Shiyan sat expressionless, unresponsive to her resentful gaze. Seeing him so cold, Meng Shi was so frightened that he was about to cry.
What's going on today, why is everyone so cold to her?
Meng Shi was extremely dazed and very sad.
Seeing her weeping, the old lady's temples jumped suddenly. Afraid that she would really cry in Songhe Hall, the old lady hurriedly coughed. Diverted the topic and said: "Sister Lan is not young anymore, it is the time to broaden her horizons and meet playmates, so you don't have to detain her in the future." Let her get out and walk around more. ”
This was said to Meng Shi.
In the past, Meng always used the excuse that An Ruolan was young and ignorant, and detained her to prevent her from going out of the house at will, which was very detrimental to the development of children.
It's also on the way home today. Listening to An Ruojin's words, I knew that An Ruolan got along well with the young lady next to her. The old lady thought about mentioning Meng Shi a few sentences.
But the old lady said this in vain.
Hearing this, Meng Shi just responded absentmindedly. I didn't take it to heart at all.
Seeing that she was so indifferent to the affairs of her children, the old lady was angry and annoyed, and said stiffly: "The old woman is tired, you can go back." ”
An Shiyan was already physically and mentally exhausted, so when he heard the words, he got up and saluted, and went straight out of Songhe Hall. Seeing this, Meng hurriedly saluted, and Baba followed.
The remaining An Ruoxian brothers and sisters also hurriedly saluted and left Songhe Hall.
After leaving Yirong Yuan and parting ways with An Wenjun, An Ruoxian said to herself guiltily: "I'm sorry mother, it's not that Xian'er doesn't want to help you, but Xian'er is really powerless now, don't worry, this is only temporary, and when Xian'er has the strength, she will definitely not let you be wronged again." As she spoke, she clenched her fist firmly.
Now she has no capital, let alone being strong, it is very difficult to keep herself, so she can only avoid all troubles as much as possible, after all, only by saving herself can she have a future.
Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood.
It's not that I don't want to help my mother get ahead, it's just that I have to give in.
I will make amends to my mother in the future.
An Ruoxian comforted herself in her heart.
Huang Ying listened to her chatter, and a gloom flashed in her eyes without a trace.
The old lady wasn't really tired, she just didn't want to worry about it anymore, so she sent people away with an excuse.
After An Shiyan and the four of them left, the old lady let Mama Song help her into the warm pavilion on one side, and as soon as she sat down, she heard the big girl Hongxuan say that the sixth lady was here, and the old lady couldn't help but be a little surprised, just separated for a while, why did this girl come again?
Thinking like this, he still let Hongxuan bring people in.
"Grandmother." Entering the warm pavilion, An Ruolan smiled and saluted, and then spontaneously snuggled up to the old lady.
When the old lady saw her, her heart suddenly relaxed, she stroked the top of her head, and asked with a smile: "Why did you come here again, is there something?" ”
"Hee-hee, I miss my grandmother." After selling a good sentence, An Ruolan stopped going around the bend and said bluntly: "My cousin said that she was going to attend the banquet of the Weiguo Mansion in a few days, I was curious, and I also wanted to follow to take a look, grandmother, do you say okay?" ”
"Patriotic Mansion?" The old lady blinked suspiciously, and then remembered which Weiguo Mansion it was, and couldn't help laughing: "Just come and tell me now?" I'm afraid I have already discussed it with your sister Mi'er. ”
Knowing that she couldn't hide it, An Ruolan honestly admitted it, hugged the old lady's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, okay?" ”
The so-called once born and twice ripe, now that she is coquettish, she has no pressure.
"This ......" The old lady really nodded in this matter.
The old marquis had already spoken in the mansion, and the people from the Wenxin Marquis Mansion were not allowed to attend the banquet in the Weiguo Mansion.
Of course. This is the saying in the house of the house, the words on the outside. It is claimed that it is inconvenient to attend.
Although he doesn't look down on the reckless Weiguo Mansion, the old marquis will not be stupid enough to blatantly offend this magnatate.
Seeing the old lady's expression, she was hesitant and embarrassed. An Ruolan felt a loss in her heart, she really thought too simply.
She thought that as long as she moved her grandmother and asked her grandmother to help her plead with her grandfather, the matter would be resolved, but she didn't want this matter to make her grandmother so embarrassed, it seems that she still underestimated her grandfather's prejudice against the Weiguo Mansion.
Seeing her disappointed face, the old lady was very reluctant, patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Sister Lan really wants to go?" ”
An Ruolan nodded unabashedly, and said with envy: "Granddaughters rarely go out of the house. I rarely hear the news from the outside, and now I heard my sisters talk about the grand occasion when the Weiguofu family entered Beijing, and I couldn't help but yearn for it, so I thought about going to see it, so as to open my eyes, so as not to ......"
Speaking of this, she lowered her head slightly and said softly: "So that when my sisters speak, I can't always answer the ......."
Hear the words. The old lady couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, hugged her and said, "Good boy, I won't detain you again in the future." I secretly complained about Meng's confusion in my heart.
After a pause, the old lady said, "Grandmother will find an opportunity to intercede with your grandfather on your behalf." You can rest assured. ”
An Ruolan hung her head and hummed softly, her heart full of guilt and guilt.
She knew she shouldn't have deceived her grandmother like this. But she really wanted to see the guard. It was okay when I didn't know, but now I know. If she hadn't seen him, she really didn't know what would have happened to her.
Despite knowing that it is embarrassing the grandmother. But there was an opportunity in front of her, and she didn't want to miss it.
She could only say sorry to her grandmother in her heart.
In fact, An Ruolan underestimated the old lady, because this matter was just a trivial matter for the old lady, after all, there was no complete certainty, and the old lady would not nod lightly.
The old lady has always been resolute in her work, she promised An Ruolan that she would intercede with the old marquis, and after careful consideration, she immediately went to find the old marquis.
The old marquis didn't agree at first, he didn't want his granddaughter to have a relationship with the rude and vulgar Wei family, but the old lady persuaded him.
"The Weiguo Mansion has invited many important ministers of the family and the court to participate, and this is a good opportunity."
"Going to Weiguo Mansion doesn't necessarily mean that you have to contact the Wei family, Sister Lan just followed Yuqing to see the world and take the opportunity to make friends with the young lady next to her."
"It will not hurt us to get acquainted with some more Miss Lives."
The old lady's reason was very sufficient, and the old marquis was finally tempted, and reluctantly nodded, but repeatedly told that no one else in the house could know about this matter, and the old lady was full of answers.
When An Ruolan received an affirmative answer, she almost flew up happily, hugged the old lady and shouted that her grandmother was so good, which made the old lady so happy that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.
Happy is happy, but An Ruolan did not get carried away, after being told by the old lady that the matter should be kept secret, she didn't even tell An Ruojin, she hid and secretly enjoyed alone, secretly looking forward to that day coming soon.
Two days later, it was time for her and her brother to go back to their grandfather's house to save their relatives.
Early in the morning, the carriage was waiting in front of the Hou Mansion, An Ruolan and An Wenyan said goodbye to the old lady of the Hou Mansion, as well as An Shiyan and his wife, and when they went out and were about to get on the car, Meng suddenly rushed out and said that he wanted to go back with them.
"Mother really doesn't worry about you, so I'll go with you today."
Meng's eyes were red and his face was haggard, obviously the past two days had not been good.
An Ruolan was slightly surprised, and intuitively felt that something had happened.
Without waiting for her to think about it, An Shiyan stepped out of the door and said indifferently: "Just let your mother go with you." ”
Hearing this, Meng Shi couldn't help it and choked lowly.
This situation is even more surprising, the brother and sister secretly glanced at each other, and their jaws responded. (To be continued......)
