Chapter Seventy-Six: Reluctance (Second Watch)
As soon as the news of Meng's lesson by Mrs. Meng spread in Meng's mansion, the ladies in the house were happy, some lamented that Meng's was ignorant, some ridiculed Meng's stupidity, and some were purely good-looking, of course, this was all in private.
An Ruolan also heard some news.
said that his mother was trained by his grandmother.
She heard it, and the ladies of Meng Guofu naturally heard it too, and everyone comforted her and told her not to go to her heart.
An Ruolan was grateful and thanked her cousins.
Because she was worried about Meng, she said goodbye to her cousins, asked the maid in the house, and went to the courtyard where Meng lived before she got married.
It's just that Meng Shi refused to see her, so Mama Li stopped her at the door.
When Mama Li saw An Ruolan, she felt angry in her heart, she thought that it was because of the mention of An Ruolan that the old lady would be angry and would reprimand her and Meng.
Blame it all on An Ruolan, Mama Li made a straight face and said very unceremoniously: "Sixth Miss, let's go, Madam doesn't have the heart to see you." ”
An Ruolan was taken aback by Mama Li's undisguised disgust, paused, and said, "I'm worried about my mother, I want to go in and take a look, and I'm annoying Mama......"
"Madame is unwell, Miss Six should not bother." Mama Li interrupted her with a smile.
"......" An Ruolan glanced at Mama Li deeply, her brows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, a crisp call came, accompanied by a burst of laughter like silver bells, which caused people to look back.
An Ruolan turned his head and saw the evening snow coming.
"Miss Ann." Wanxue bowed lightly and behaved decently.
"It's Sister Wanxue." An Ruolan softened her expression, smiled sweetly, and asked, "Why did Sister Wanxue come over?" ”
Wanxue bent her lips shallowly, and said: "The old lady pointed me to my aunt and grandmother, and I will go back to the Hou Mansion with my aunt and grandmother today, no, I am worried that I will make mistakes in the Hou Mansion in the future, so the slave and maid want to come and ask Mama Li to see what the rules of the Hou Mansion are and what are the taboos." ”
Hearing this, Mama Li's face changed.
"Oh." An Ruolan nodded clearly, but she was very surprised in her heart.
I don't know what my mother said wrong, and I actually provoked my grandmother to send out the evening snow.
Without a trace, she glanced at Mama Li, who had an ugly face, and she roughly guessed her grandmother's intentions.
Smiling, An Ruolan said casually: "Since Sister Wanxue is here to find Mama Li, I won't bother, I'll go first to see my mother." ”
As he spoke, he was about to knock on the door past Mama Li.
"Sixth Miss, Madam said I didn't see you." Mama Li hurriedly went up to stop the person, and her face became even more ugly.
"Get out of the way!" An Ruolan's face sank suddenly, and the momentum that instantly became sharp and overwhelming made people panic.
Mama Li's heart skipped a beat.
When An Ruolan's cold eyes swept over, she couldn't help but show her timidity, and subconsciously took a step back.
Wanxue watched from the sidelines and praised it in her heart.
To deal with these old people who rely on the old and sell the old, and only know that they are old with Qiao, they are to be scared!
An Ruolan snorted coldly, raised her head and crossed over Mama Li.
Mama Li's face was pale, and she couldn't believe that she had just been stopped by a seven-year-old girl.
Wanxue rolled her eyes, smiled and stepped forward to pull Mama Li, and said with a smile: "Mama, my aunt and grandmother are the most affectionate Miss Cousin, you just let their mother and son talk about themselves, let's go for a walk, let's drink tea and eat fruits, I have a lot of things to ask!" ”
Mama Li's face softened, and she said, "Since you have something to ask, let's talk in the next room." "I went down the steps.
Wanxue smiled and pulled Mama Li, who was holding the shelf, to the next room.
An Ruolan sneered and turned her head to knock on the door.
"Who's out there?" A slightly hoarse voice came from inside the door.
"Mother, it's me." An Ruolan raised his voice.
There was silence in the room, and then footsteps sounded.
The carved red lacquer door opened from the inside, Meng Shi appeared in the door with a haggard face, and when she saw An Ruolan, she said, "Didn't you play with your cousins, why did you come here?" ”
There was a hint of undetectable resentment in his tone.
Meng thought that if Lan'er was with her at that time, her mother would not have lost her temper so much.
An Ruolan pursed the corners of her lips, lowered her head and said: "Mother, grandmother loves you so much, if she says something to the elderly, don't take it to heart, she is also for your good." ”
She feared that her mother would resent her grandmother because of this.
She didn't want this life to be the same as her previous life, and her mother and her grandfather's family were drifting apart.
Meng Shi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Since you understand this truth, why don't you want to listen to your mother?" ”
"......" An Ruolan was speechless, do you want her to say it directly, because what you said is wrong, so I don't listen?
She didn't dare say that.
Dayong Dynasty values filial piety, even if she says the truth, she will be attacked.
Seeing that she was silent, Meng Shi decided that she was irrefutable, and the smile on his face became more and more bitter, Meng Shi said: "Do not do to others what you do not want, you can go." ”
The door slammed shut.
An Ruolan opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak again.
With a sigh, she paced away slowly.
After having lunch in Meng Guofu, Meng took Mama Li and Wanxue back to Wenxin Hou's Mansion.
Before leaving, Meng Shi reluctantly pulled An Wenyan and told her, but she didn't look at An Ruolan.
An Wenyan saw the strange atmosphere between his mother and sister, and wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only nod at Meng Shi again and again.
This scene in front of Meng Guofu naturally reached the ears of Mrs. Meng, in this regard, Mrs. Meng could only shake her head helplessly, beating and scolding, her daughter was still not angry, she was still not sensible, and she really had no choice.
Qiao Shi could only comfort her: "Brother Yan is a promising, Sister Lan also has an idea when she looks at it, although my sister-in-law is a little simpler, but with my aunt taking care of her, it is no big problem to think about it, so my mother can relax." ”
Anyone will say this, whether it's true or not, it's just a peace of mind.
"I hope so." Old Madam Meng sighed. She doesn't expect her daughter to plan for a grandchild, as long as she can manage herself.
After a pause, Mrs. Meng asked, "I'm going to visit the Marquis Wenxin Mansion in a few days, are you all ready?" ”
Qiao Shi smiled lightly: "It's all done, and all the gifts are recorded on the list, just waiting for my mother to see it." ”
"Hmm." Mrs. Meng was satisfied, looking at her decent and capable daughter-in-law, she felt a wave of sadness in her heart, if her daughter could have half the shrewdness of her daughter-in-law, she would be blind to death.
Thinking about it, Old Madam Meng sighed again and again in her heart
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, An Ruolan has lived very comfortably in Mengguo Mansion.
With her grandmother who responds to her needs, her kind aunt and uncle, and a lot of cousins who like to play with her, it can be said that these are the most relaxed and happy two days since she regained her life.
Although she was doing well when she was in the Hou Mansion, she was always unable to relax because of An Ruoxian's presence.
Xu didn't expect her mother as much as in her previous life, and after being snubbed, she was just a little lost for a while, and then she cheered up again. Because she knows that there will be many such things in the future, she has begun to learn to adjust her mood, otherwise, in the future, her mother's business alone will be enough to give her a headache.
The days in Meng Guofu were simple and happy, but as time passed, An Ruolan inevitably missed her grandmother and the sisters of the Hou Mansion.
As soon as she told her grandmother that she wanted to go back to the Hou Mansion, her grandmother smiled at her and said, "I expected you to be like this, my grandmother has long been ready to go back to the Hou Mansion with you at any time." ”
"Great!" She couldn't help but cheer, and was glared at by her grandmother in disgust.
That being said, I still have to wait until tomorrow to return to the Hou Mansion.
Hearing that An Ruolan was going back to the Hou Mansion, the cousins were very reluctant and surrounded her to ask when they would come again.
An Ruolan was also reluctant to let go of this group of cousins, she touched the head of her little cousin, and said, "I will come to play often in the future, and everyone can also go to the Hou Mansion to find me to play." As he spoke, his nose was sour.
"But my sister-in-law won't let you go out." Meng Yahui said in frustration, and pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief.
"Not in the future, I'll definitely come!" An Ruolan assured.
Everyone was happy when they heard her say this.
On the afternoon of this day, An Ruolan has been getting together with her cousins and sisters, and even An Wenyan was pulled over and huddled with a group of girls to laugh, which was embarrassing and warm.
In the evening, everyone was about to disperse, but suddenly a maid came over to report: "The prince of Jin is here, as well as the second aunt and grandmother and Miss Mi'erbiao, the old lady invites the young master and young lady to come over." ”
The second aunt and grandmother in the maid's mouth are Meng Yuqing, An Ruolan's second aunt.
Although Meng Yuqing's father has lived in a separate house with Meng Guogong, because the two families are not far away and have a close relationship, they have always been regarded as a family.
Hearing this, An Ruolan was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to Mrs. Meng's Hanxin Courtyard. Seeing this, An Wenyan and a group of people also followed.
Entering Qingque Hall, I really saw that Mrs. Meng was entertaining Meng Yuqing and the others, and An Ruolan didn't see it, she pounced directly on Meng Yuqing, twisted her body and grinned: "Second aunt, second aunt, Lan'er misses you so much!" ”
When Mrs. Meng heard this, she covered her lips and smiled: "How many times have I heard this?" Who did you want to do yesterday? ”
was exposed, An Ruolan was not ashamed, and hugged her second aunt to be coquettish.
Meng Yuqing was really taken aback by her enthusiastic reaction, but she quickly reacted, took the person into her arms and rubbed it, and said with a smile: "Second aunt also misses our Sister Lan the most!" ”
An Ruolan chuckled and winked at Zhou Mi'er, who was sitting on the side.
Zhou Mi'er pointed at her and laughed.
The prince of Jin, who was sitting opposite, was a little confused, paused, and said with a smile: "This is Cousin Lan'er, she is really smart and well-behaved." ”
An Ruolan noticed this cousin who had only heard the name in his previous life, raised his eyes, and the moment he saw that face, An Ruolan was stunned. RS
