Chapter 318: Turning the Face
No one expected that An Ruolan's words would come true, and even An Ruolan herself was stunned at the moment when Mrs. An received the order.
Afterwards, the family sat together and chatted, and Mrs. An couldn't help but tease her: "Don't let you secretly send a letter to Princess Jin, and let Princess Jin help her speak well in front of the Queen Mother." ”
An Ruolan couldn't cry or laugh, she had that thought, didn't she have time yet, so she joked: "Maybe it's because the granddaughter and cousin have a heart?" ”
A room full of people was amused and laughed, but An Shiyan looked unnatural.
The queen mother's marriage is a long-faced thing, the old marquis is very happy, it seems much gentler than usual, and said with a smile: "The queen mother's decree has come down, Shiyan, you have to hurry up and prepare, you must make this marriage beautiful, if you have any needs, you can mention it, and my father will help you solve it." ”
An Shiting's brothers also congratulated An Shiyan, not to mention the queen mother's decree, it was a great blessing to be able to marry Zhou Yuhan's daughter.
An Shiyan thanked his father and brother with joy on his face.
An Wenyan was inevitably teased by his cousins, the family talked and laughed, and the atmosphere couldn't have been more harmonious, but the words of the old marquis made An Siye feel very uncomfortable.
Fourth Master An, who was already angry because the old marquis favored An Shiyan, couldn't hold back the sour taste in his heart at this time, and wanted to laugh or not: "This is all a good thing, the fifth brother doesn't hurry up to take the younger siblings back, how to say it is also a major matter for the children, it's always bad if the younger siblings aren't there, besides, you can't handle it alone." ”
Hearing this, everyone's smiles froze, and the atmosphere became stagnant.
The fourth lady secretly pushed the arm of the fourth master, with helplessness in her eyes. An Siye felt inexplicably refreshed.
The old marquis took a sip of tea with a calm face and said, "The fourth is right, the fifth daughter-in-law has been recuperating in Meng Guofu for some days, and it's time to come back." In a few days, I have to discuss family affairs with the Zhou Mansion, and it is not good for the fifth daughter-in-law not to show up, and Shiyan really has no time to handle that much. ”
The old lady was dissatisfied with the old lady's return to the Meng Mansion, but it was just a matter of the backyard, and he was not good at interfering too much, and the old lady was not as concerned about his opinion as before, so he could only acquiesce to the old lady's approach, which could be regarded as maintaining the harmony of the couple.
Now that An Siye mentioned it, the old marquis naturally pushed the boat down the river and proposed to take the Meng family back, or the same sentence, for the fifth daughter-in-law who has a first-class appearance and family background, the old marquis likes it very much.
The old lady pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and said, "Since the Hou Ye has spoken, Ming'er will ask someone to take the Meng family back, but it's just ...... I'm afraid that if Meng Shi comes back, this marriage will not be done. ”
The old lady knew very well what the old marquis was thinking, since he was clearly meddling in the affairs of the backyard, she had no choice but not to give him face.
Hearing this, the old marquis's face darkened, and he didn't know if it was because his beloved daughter-in-law couldn't return home, or because the old lady seemed to be deferential, but in fact she was working with him.
The old marquis said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this? In the absence of the mother, can Brother Yan's marriage be successful?! ”
If it weren't for the presence of the juniors, the old marquis would have to directly ask the old lady if she deliberately embarrassed the Meng family and An Shiyan, and wanted to sabotage this family business. In the heart of the old marquis, the old lady has always been worried about An Shiyan's biological mother, and she is also kind and ruthless to An Shiyan.
Compared with the anger of the old marquis, the old lady was extremely calm, and said lightly: "Dissatisfied with the marquis, the Meng family has always disapproved of this family business, and I am also worried about what she will do." ”
In fact, the Meng family has already done something terrible, just for the sake of the Hou Mansion's face, it is inconvenient to bring it to the table.
Despite this, the old marquis still felt that the old lady was quibbling, and snorted coldly: "The fifth daughter-in-law is knowledgeable and virtuous, how can she do something out of the ordinary?" Hugh will look for these unrealistic excuses to cover up his selfishness! ”
"In this case, the old Hou Ye will personally send someone to pick up the Meng family, and when the marriage fails, the Hou Ye should not blame the concubine." The old lady put her hands on her knees and looked indifferent.
The old marquis had been disobeyed in person, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, and angrily pointed at the old lady and said: "I still want to save some face for you, since you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for not giving you dignity!" ”
After all, I want to do it.
Seeing this, An Shiyan hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Father, what my mother said is reasonable, the Meng family really does not approve of this family business, and Mrs. Zhou has a lot of opinions on the Meng family, if the Meng family comes forward, I am afraid that Mrs. Zhou will avoid meeting in a fit of anger." ”
The old marquis made a move, he didn't believe the old lady's words, but he believed An Shiyan's. It's just that he still doesn't want to admit that the old lady is right, so he withdrew his hand and said, "I know that you are filial, but you don't have to slander your wife like this, I know very well what the fifth daughter-in-law is." ”
Hearing this, the old lady's eyes couldn't help but flash sarcasm, and said: "It's okay for Master Hou to say this at home, don't say it when you go out, it's really nice to know this kind of thing about your daughter-in-law." ”
"You-" The old marquis was furious, and the anger that had just been stopped burned again.
"Father is angry." An Shiting's brothers also hurriedly got up and persuaded him, "Mother's words are not a little unpleasant, but it also makes sense, and I ask my father not to be angry." ”
"The so-called loyalty is good for deeds, and Hou Ye is a person who has achieved great things, so he must not understand this truth." The old lady glanced at the old marquis, and seemed to be smiling.
The old marquis breathed a sigh, only to feel that this was the old lady mocking him, and he was even more angry.
An Shiting's eyes were full of helplessness and he persuaded: "Mother, don't say a word." ”
The old lady didn't want to completely tear her face with the old marquis in front of the children, so when she heard this, her expression was slightly softened, and she got up and said, "I'm tired, I'll go back first, you can talk slowly." ”
called An Ruolan, and the grandfather and grandson went out of the hall.
The old marquis pointed to the back of the old lady, his fingers trembled with anger, and he said angrily: "It's just presumptuous!" ”
The brothers exchanged a look and sighed helplessly.
Just now in the hall, when the old lady had an argument with the old marquis, An Ruolan, as a junior, did not speak, and when she left the hall, she said: "Grandmother is different today from the past. ”
She used affirmatives, not interrogatives.
The old lady smiled and said, "I just understand, blindly forbearance and obedience will only make me more miserable." ”
An Ruolan blinked suspiciously and asked, "What are grandmother's plans?" ”
She also thought that her grandmother would always be "virtuous and virtuous".
"Naturally, it's about doing what you want to do." The old lady patted her hand, her eyes were deep, and she said softly: "It is indeed out of sight to get people away, but at the same time, it has also lost the opportunity for revenge, since she wants to come back so much, he wants to take her back so much, why don't I fulfill their wishes?" I still have the final say in the backyard of the Hou Mansion. ”
An Ruolan only felt that the clouds were in the fog. R1152
