Chapter 609: The second room returns home
When Bai Ruosong saw that he had such a delicate paperweight in his hand, his eyes not only lit up, but he had never seen a paperweight like this, it was so beautiful, and with her physiognomy, he was a tiger, so he couldn't put it down in his hand!
"Look at this kid's happy, why don't you hurry up and thank your eldest sister!" Han said with a smile.
"Thank you, big sister!" Bai Ruosong said obediently.
"Yun'er, Tian'er, we also brought you some souvenirs from the north, and we will send them to your yard when we go back and pack them out!" Han said to Ruoyun and Tian'er.
"Then thank you Second Aunt!"
"These two children are polite to me, I was the closest to my sister-in-law back then!" The sister-in-law that Han is talking about here is Ruoyun and Tian'er's mother, Mrs. Wang.
Thinking about it, she should have a good relationship with Mrs. Wang, and at this time, there was a trace of sadness on her face when she mentioned Mrs. Wang.
"Look at you, didn't you say the wrong thing again, let's go, let's hurry up and meet the old man and the old lady!" The old aunt and grandmother said.
"Yes, it's my stupid mouth, auntie, don't expose my shortcomings in front of the children!" Han was coquettish to the old aunt and grandmother, and the old aunt and grandmother smiled, it can be seen that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should be very good!
The courtyard of the old aunt and grandmother and the Han family has long been arranged, and the courtyard where the old aunt and grandmother live is the Ning'an Courtyard not far from the old man's Rongshou Hall.
And the courtyard where the Han family lives is Bichun Garden in Erjin, which is second only to the main courtyard, which is more in line with her identity as a second lady.
At this time, the subordinates had already moved their luggage to their respective yards, and the old aunt and grandmother and the Han family were going to visit the old man first.
Of course, the old man will not disappear like the last time Yu Miaoling came, this time he invited everyone to the house.
The old aunt and grandmother and the Han family first saluted the old man respectfully.
The old man looked at the two and said, "I'm tired all the way, get up!" Yiyu, you also came back with the second daughter-in-law! ”
Yiyu is the name of my aunt and grandmother.
"I'm not listening to you, old man, coming back, thinking about it while I can still move. Come back and see you, I don't know when I'm old and I'm useless, and when you leave again, I'll go back to the north! The old aunt and grandmother looked at the old man's eyes with excitement, she thought she would never see it in her life!
Unexpectedly, he had been living in the north with his son and daughter-in-law for several years, but suddenly received a letter from his husband, saying that he had returned to Beijing. The old aunt and grandmother were excited. Without saying a word, I packed up my things and came back with my daughter-in-law!
When I'm older, I don't have much time to spend with my husband, so I can be together more!
"It's good to come back, I don't plan to leave for a while this time. You can stay in Beijing and follow me! The old man glanced at his concubine and said.
"Okay, I'll listen to my old man!" The old aunt and grandmother listened to the old man's words, and their hearts were also happy.
The two lived together on the battlefield for several years. The relationship is very deep, although this aunt has the name of a concubine. But the old man gave her a lot of respect she deserved.
Speaking of this old aunt and grandmother, in fact, she also has a past with her husband.
This is the old aunt's surname Duan, and her maiden name is Yiyu, and she is the sister of a capable subordinate of her husband.
This Yiyu and her brother are two parents who died early. It has always been two siblings who depend on each other.
Later, there was a war at the border pass, and when the imperial court began to recruit soldiers, Duan Yiyu's brother was conscripted. Duan Yiyu didn't worry that her brother would come to fight alone, so she also packed her bags and followed her brother to the border pass.
This brother and sister's father is Orion. The two learned some boxing and kicking from their father since they were children, especially archery is very good.
So this Yiyu is not the weak woman who is powerless, and her brother dares to bring him to his side.
When her brother entered the barracks, she rented a house near the barracks and took care of each other with her brother.
Whenever there was a battle, she would carry a bow and arrows on her back and run with the army to the battlefield, where she watched the battle from afar.
Her purpose is to protect her brother, and if she finds that her brother is in danger, she will not hesitate to shoot the arrow in her hand.
There was a great fierce battle, and the enemy was so strong that he could not repel the enemy for more than an hour, and the soldiers were already very tired.
At this time, a feather arrow flew in the distance, and it came directly towards Duan Yiyu's brother's front door, Duan Yiyu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was shocked, and quickly pulled out his arrow and shot out.
Her arrow was very accurate, and it hit the opponent's arrow.
But the other party should be a marksman, the power of that arrow is very large, and Duan Yiyu's arrow hit the opponent's arrow only made the opponent's arrow deviate from its position, and failed to knock the arrow down.
The arrow deviated from its position and did not hit Duan Yiyu's brother, but it hit the general next to Duan Yiyu's brother.
This is the general who was the Duke of Dingguo at that time, and the old man now.
Duan Yiyu's elder brother was transferred to be the general's personal guard because he knew kung fu and fought bravely, and he happened to be standing in front of the general's side at that time.
Although Duan Yiyu missed the opponent's arrow by shooting an arrow, she did save her brother, but the arrow was directly pierced on the right shoulder of the old man at the time.
Seeing this scene, Duan Yiyu was also scared, fortunately, it hit the shoulder, if she hit the vital point, although she made an unintentional mistake, it is estimated that she will also pay for the general's life.
However, this general is also a tough guy, holding on to the wounds on his body, commanding his subordinates to repel the enemy, and then coming down to treat the wounds.
Duan Yiyu's elder brother pulled Duan Yiyu forward and kept making amends to the general, hoping that the general would not blame.
Who knew that the general not only did not blame, but laughed and said that his injury was worth it, and he only used the injury on his shoulder to exchange the life of his subordinates, and he felt that he had made a lot of money!
When Duan Yiyu heard the general say this, he not only felt that the general was really a good man, but also had a very good impression of the general in his heart.
Later, when she heard that there were no female dependents in the barracks, and that it was usually the rough guards who came to take care of the wounded general, she volunteered to take care of the general.
For the general's wound was caused by her, and the people only thought that she had done it to forgive their sins. So no one stopped her.
Since then, Duan Yiyu has begun to take care of the general.
The man is a tough guy with iron bones, and he is a very attractive general, and the woman is a cool woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and there is a lot of chemistry between the two.
Over time, the two developed a good impression of each other, and Duan Yiyu took care of such an injured man for so long. Her reputation is already very bad. So the general intends to take responsibility for her.
However, at that time, the general already had a wife and a newborn son, so he couldn't give Duan Yiyu the title of the main room. The general was a little embarrassed.
After Duan Yiyu found out, she said that she was a general and didn't care about her reputation.
The general was very moved, and after he recovered from his illness. set up a few tables of banquets in the barracks, which can be regarded as officially accepting Duan Yiyu as a concubine.
Thereafter. Duan Yiyu followed the general, the general was fighting on the front line, and she was behind to do a good job of logistics for the general, and the two lived together at the border for many years. also gave birth to a son, named Bai Linwu.
Even later, when the general took his eldest son over to raise him personally, it was Duan Yiyu who was taking care of the lives of the three masters.
Only later. The war was over, and the general took her back to the Dingguo Mansion in the capital. She could no longer go out with the general, because there was her mistress in this house, and she was only a concubine.
Although the general is still very good to her, the real hostess is not so happy after all.
And this hostess also dislikes her very, very much, thinking that she robbed her husband and son, and did everything against her.
The general defended her several times, but she was always troubled, in order not to embarrass the general, Aunt Duan didn't know when she changed her previous bold and bold temperament, but she was low-key, silent, and even a little reluctant to swallow her anger.
just raised her son silently in the backyard, and didn't fight with the lady at home, but the old lady didn't want to let her go like this, and often found her trouble.
This made the old man see some of the bad roots of the old lady, which made the old man very displeased, but it was better for Aunt Duan.
And because Aunt Duan had taken care of the old lady's son for a few years, the old lady's son, that is, Bai Linwen, Ruoyun and Tian'er's father, was also very good to Aunt Duan and his younger brother, and did not listen to his mother's instigation and alienated Aunt Duan and his younger brother.
In this way, the old lady hated Aunt Duan even more, thinking that Aunt Duan first separated their husband and wife relationship, and then separated their mother-son relationship.
But Aunt Duan is not stupid, she can not fight if she doesn't fight, but she doesn't agree if someone wants to harm her and her son, so the old lady doesn't have any benefit in her hands.
It was because of her despicable methods that her husband and son were a little dissatisfied with her.
In this way, Aunt Duan has become the old lady's biggest enemy in her life, and she hates it in her heart, but she can't bring down others!
And although Aunt Duan is a concubine, because she gave birth to a son, and because of the care of her husband and the princess for their mother and son, she was not cheaply treated at home by those subordinates who looked down on people.
In addition to being cheapened by the old lady from time to time, it is okay at other times.
And the second son of the old man is also an outlier in the Bai family, the Bai family started with martial arts, and the old man's name brought him a martial character, but his second son doesn't like martial arts, prefers literature.
Bai Linwu said that the title of the family belongs to the eldest brother, and he does not fight, he wants to rely on his own ability to give his mother a decree.
Sure enough, he had perseverance, studied hard for many years, and his hard work paid off, he was admitted to the second-class jinshi and was named an official by the imperial court.
When the old man retired, Bai Linwu had already sat in the position of Wupin Jingguan, and the old man was afraid that after he retired, the old lady would use the identity of the master mother to persecute Aunt Duan's mother and son, so he divided the family for the two sons before leaving.
Of course, most of the family property is distributed to the eldest son, after all, the eldest son is the one who inherits the title of the family, and the second son is only divided into 30% of the family property, and there are some private houses of his own.
The old lady also made a big fuss, and finally the old man said that if she made another fuss, the two sons would divide the family property equally, and the old lady would be afraid and dare not make trouble.
Bai Linwu and Aunt Duan were on the day when the old man left home. After sending off the old man, he moved away from the Dingguo Mansion and lived in a three-entry courtyard assigned to them by the Dingguo Gong.
However, after the old man left, the old lady still didn't want to let go of Aunt Duan and them, although they didn't live together, they still made a lot of stumbling blocks for Bai Linwu in the capital.
Later, it was Bai Linwen who knew about it. Helping my brother settle down. The angry old lady scolded her son for being unfilial!
Bai Linwu's marriage has also been decided a long time ago, and he is the daughter of the old man's subordinate, and this subordinate and Aunt Duan's brother are still brothers. So Aunt Duan also grew up watching this girl and liked this daughter-in-law.
Bai Linwu's marriage was actually supposed to be the old lady's mother-in-law to help Zhang Luo, but he didn't expect this mother-in-law, anyway, he also had a family property. It's not that he can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, so most of them are Aunt Duan's Zhang Luo. Thanks to the fact that the woman's family is an acquaintance, she didn't say anything.
And when Bai Linwu got married, the old lady not only did not come forward, but also did not let the Bai family go.
In the end, Bai Linwen insisted on taking Mrs. Wang to help Zhang Luo get married, so as not to make the marriage too ugly.
Afterward. Mrs. Wang is very close to Han's younger siblings, and the two will contact and walk around every once in a while.
After all, Bai Linwen's generation is only two brothers. As the saying goes, brothers work together to break gold, and two brothers should help each other. Mrs. Wang also did this for the sake of her husband.
However, the old lady didn't think so, she hated Aunt Duan to die with his son, and Mrs. Wang touched the old lady's backlash by doing so, which is also the most important reason why the old lady doesn't like Mrs. Wang.
Later, after Mrs. Wang died, Dingguo Gong left home in frustration, and there was no one to protect Aunt Duan's side.
Bai Linwu couldn't bear to let his mother suffer such grievances again, so he applied for release the following year. took his family to the north of the Northern Liao Mansion to be an official, and he didn't come back for almost nine years.
Now he has achieved the Zhizhou of Chuncheng, the second largest city in Northern Liao Prefecture, and he can be regarded as young and promising.
Aunt Duan's mother and son went so far away, and the old lady's hand couldn't stretch out so long, so there was nothing to do about Aunt Duan's mother and son.
However, sometimes she thought that Aunt Duan was at ease with her son as an old lady in Spring City, and she was very resentful in her heart, so she didn't allow her family to mention Aunt Duan's mother and son at all.
Aunt Duan's mother and son became a taboo topic in the house, and later many people didn't even know that the Bai family had such a second master.
At the beginning, Ruoyun and Tian'er didn't know that they had such a second uncle, after all, Ruoyun had no memory at that time, and Tian'er had never seen this second uncle.
It was also when I heard my husband talk about it later when I was in Fuyuan, and I realized that his father had such a second brother, and they had a second uncle.
This time it was also because Ruoyun and they were going to draft next year, and they couldn't come forward without an elder woman in the family, so the old man specially wrote to invite the second aunt back.
Because the old man was at home, they didn't go to the original house after they came back, but came directly to the house, and Aunt Duan's grandmother hadn't stepped into this house for many years, if it weren't for the fact that the old man came back, she wouldn't have entered this house again.
The old man was also very happy to see his aunt and grandmother and Han's, so he said a few more words.
The old aunt and grandmother offered to go to the old lady to see the gift.
The old man said that the old lady was unwell, and now it was too late, so there was no need to go to the ceremony.
The old man also deliberately didn't want the old aunt and grandmother and the Han family to give the old lady a gift, just because he didn't want them to be angry and unhappy.
When the old aunt and grandmother heard what the old man said, she didn't insist anymore, after all, she was so old, and she didn't want to be humiliated in vain.
Seeing this, Ruoyun asked people to bring up the prepared reception banquet, which she had already ordered when she went to pick up people just now.
At the moment of the banquet, Bai Ruoyu heard the news and came over.
Originally, everyone thought that she would not come, after all, her foreign family was from the Sun family, and she was from the same country as the old lady, so she should not come over, so she prevaricated on the pretext that she was keeping filial piety.
Unexpectedly, she came over, although her face was a little pale, but the rules were correct, she saluted the two elders well, and also gave Bai Ruosong a meeting gift.
When the old man saw that she was so sensible today, he also smiled at her on his face.
As for Yu Miaoling and Sun Bing, the two of them are not serious Bai family members, and they should have already eaten at this point, so they didn't call them over.
The family began to eat happily. Because the family did not divide the table, Bai Ruoyu told a few jokes to Tian'er and Song'er during the period, but only ignored Ruoyun.
Ruoyun couldn't cry or laugh when she looked at her child's angry appearance, and she didn't really want to deal with Bai Ruoyu, but why did you bother to be so obvious! ——
On the other side, in the Shou'an Courtyard, the old lady heard the news of her old enemy coming back, and immediately asked people to tidy up her appearance. Clean up the house. Then he sat and waited, just to give the slut a good dismount.
Hmph, what about going to a poor country like the north and being an old lady for a few years? It's just a small place, and the old lady of this family is still her, and she will always be her, as long as she is there. She'll always be able to hold that slut down!
However, the old lady thought about it again as soon as Aunt Duan heard the news of her husband's return. rushed back, and he didn't even care about his son, so he didn't fight anywhere.
"This slut is still so foxy at such an old age, I heard that the old man is back. I rushed back like this, it's really shameless and skinless! The old lady didn't just scold.
Aunt Qian and the girls in the room didn't dare to say anything when they heard the old lady's words. The old lady could scold the old aunt and grandmother in public, but they still didn't dare to respond. After all, he is also the one who gave birth to a son to his husband, and he is also the fate of Zheng Erpin.
At this moment, there was movement outside, and the old lady immediately had a light in her eyes, her face tightened, and she turned her head to Aunt Qian and said, "You go and see if you are here, if they come, say that I am changing clothes and tell them to wait in the yard!" ”
"Yes!" Aunt Qian agreed and went out, she knew that the old lady was deliberately giving the old aunt and grandmother a bad ride.
Let's not say that the old lady has already changed her clothes, just waiting, there is also a side hall where you can sit and drink tea, why do you need to let people wait in the yard after a tiring journey.
However, when she went out to take a look, she found that it was not the old aunt and grandmother, but Miss Yu, and she was relieved.
After all, the old lady has been fighting with the old aunt and grandmother all her life, and she also knows the old aunt and grandmother, and it is not a simple character, if it makes trouble, it will be them who will suffer!
"Miss Yu, wait a minute, I'll go tell the old lady!"
"There's Aunt Laoqian!" Yu Miaoling smiled softly.
When Aunt Qian entered the room, she said to the old lady: "Old lady, it's not the old aunt and the second lady who have arrived, it's Miss Yu who has come!" ”
When the old lady heard that it was Yu Miaoling, she had a smile on her face, and said: "It turned out that Miaoling was here, she came just in time, stay with me for a while to see that slut make a fool of herself, hurry up and call her in!" ”
"Yes!"
After Yu Miaoling came in, she first asked the old lady to say goodbye, and then consciously took over the position of the eldest girl Yaqing and fanned the old lady.
Because it is hot now, in order to give the old aunt and grandmother, the old lady wears layers of clothes, and she wears gold and silver to make it very formal, so it will inevitably get hot.
"Good boy, it's still comfortable for you to fan the wind!" The old lady said to Miao Ling with a loving face.
Yaqing, who was standing behind Yu Miaoling, lowered her head when she heard this, her eyes flashed, staring at the corner of Yu Miaoling's skirt in front of her, her eyes burning.
She was always fanning the old lady just now, and Yu Miaoling took her place as soon as she came, not to mention, and got such a compliment from the old lady, if people who don't know hear the old lady say this, they will think that the old lady has an opinion on her fanning.
The honor and disgrace of their girls is just to see whether the master gives face or not, Yu Miaoling did this, and even did the work of these girls, so how can they deal with themselves!
But fortunately, thanks to Miao Ling's exquisite life, she listened to the old lady's words and said with a smile: "Grandmother feels sorry for Sister Yaqing and wants me to do more work, so I just said bluntly, why do you use this to pour me ecstasy soup, who doesn't know that the sisters in front of my grandmother are the most capable!" ”
She also praised Yaqing for her words!
The old lady also laughed when she heard this, and joked with Yu Miaoling.
Yaqing's face improved a little when she heard Yu Miaoling say this, but she didn't appreciate it very much in her heart, this is not the first time or half a time that a girl has done such a thing.
You are a girl's family to do what a girl's family should do, why do these things that their girls have to do!
The eldest girl and the second girl in the family never do this, and the people who come out of this small family are childish, and they won't enjoy it when they become girls in the house! Yaqing was a little disdainful of Miaoling behind her.
"Yusi, you let people go and see, why don't you come yet, do you have so much to say to your husband?" The old lady was a little anxious and annoyed when she saw that people were not coming, and she was afraid that the old aunt and grandmother were cheeky and pestered the old man and kept talking.
"Yes!" Aunt Qian is going to go down and make arrangements. (To be continued)
