The matter about the Guogong Mansion came to an end, and when everyone chatted for a while, someone came to pay respects, and someone came from next door, asking to see the county lord.

Meng Guanshuang couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Let them go back, it's time for me to go over to the house to pay New Year's greetings to them!" ”

In fact, after seeing Meng Guanshuang return to the Bai family, the next door relied on his identity as an ancestor and waited for Meng Guanshuang to take the initiative to pay a New Year's greeting.

It is said that it is better to be born than to be nurtured, although they are beating drums in their hearts, they feel that Meng Guanshuang's status is different now, but they still want to take this opportunity to take Qiao's.

How do you know that after waiting and waiting, after waiting for a long time, I still don't see Meng Guanshuang taking the initiative to go over, and I am uncertain in my heart.

But he couldn't miss such a rare opportunity to meet, no, Bai Zhang's couldn't help but run over.

And although Meng Guanshuang doesn't care about the rules of who comes and who goes, but now with the identity of the county lord, he naturally won't give people the handle, and he is also ready to go through the motions, go over there to give some small gifts, and hang around.

And Bai Zhang, who couldn't bear to come over, suddenly felt trembling when he heard such a reply, and said in his heart: Look, I am an elder after all, she has become the county lord, and I still have to respect her!

So, I hurried back.

Meng Guanshuang also called for longevity, and with the gifts prepared for the next door, he passed with Bai Zhihong's family of four and a group of maids.

In the hall of the main courtyard, the furniture is still the original one, which is still the mercy of the emperor's subordinates, and he did not remove all the hardware and everything in the house to confiscate. only to preserve some of the Bai family's superficial decency.

The old man Bai, who looked a lot more depressed than years ago, sat on the first seat with a slump in his eyes, as if he didn't know where to look.

The old lady Bai was in good spirits and sat on the side, watching Meng Guanshuang and the others cross the threshold with a smile on her face.

Bai Zhifei sat in the lower position of the old man, there was no wife Bai Yang by his side, only the concubine coquettishly accompanied, obviously he had not forgiven Bai Yang and let her out.

Bai Qingyue's height has grown a little, but his expression is still depressed, and he doesn't see a smiling face. This kid. Even if you grow up, I'm afraid you're going to be ruined.

Bai Zhang sat in the position of the old lady's head, and Bai Qinglin's concubine stood beside her with low eyebrows.

It's just that Bai Zhihong's family saw them and bowed to the New Year. That Meng Guanshuang stood motionless on the spot. What does it mean?

Old Lady Bai was a little unhappy in her heart. The smile couldn't be hidden, staring at Meng Guanshuang and not speaking, just waiting for Meng Guanshuang to consciously salute the New Year!

Meng Guanshuang wanted to bow first. After all, they are elders, and there are some rules for her that she really doesn't want to follow.

But the ancients valued the most etiquette, and she couldn't destroy it casually.

It stands to reason that if she is just the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, it is normal for her to bow to the old man first when she returns to the main mansion of her adoptive parents, but she now has the title of county lord sealed by the emperor himself, and she really can't give that gift to the old lady who is now Bai Ding's identity.

Wan Shou looked at the two old men, one was dazed and didn't seem to see the people below, and the other was still waiting for the master to salute as an elder, so he had to "bully others" and said: "Old lady, old lady, you have to give the county lord half a salute first!" ”

"What, do you want us to salute her?" The old lady Bai suddenly quit.

She didn't want to be humiliated by waiting for Meng Guanshuang to come over, but to regain face in this alley.

didn't expect that a little beggar who no one wanted was now holding chicken feathers as an arrow to call her to see her, wasn't this deliberately angry with her?

Wanshou said that he was very innocent, and besides, he was not a beggar, okay!

Bai Zhang's mind turned, he glanced at his mother-in-law who was huffing, and then at his father-in-law, who was deteriorating, and immediately said: "Mother, it was our negligence, Shuang'er is now the county lord's mother, and it was sealed by the emperor himself, we ordinary people, we should salute first!" ”

Saying that, regardless of the fact that her mother-in-law's eyes were about to erupt into flames, she had already taken the lead in kneeling down and saluting.

When she knelt, Meng Guanshuang avoided it a little, and did not accept the full courtesy, but she was so angry that the old lady Bai rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

Bai Zhang's family knelt, and of course the others couldn't bow halfway like Wanshou said, so they knelt down one by one.

Seeing that the descendants were spineless and embarrassed, Mrs. Bai could only soften, got off the circle chair, and bowed half-salute.

Seeing this, the old man in the next seat also followed along with him for half a salute.

Meng Guanshuang saw something from the old man's actions, after calling everyone first, she also greeted everyone according to the etiquette of her juniors, and then asked: "Adoptive father, what's wrong with the old man?" ”

The Bai family is not as close as Bai Zhihong's family to Meng Guanshuang, and in front of outsiders, Meng Guanshuang must abide by his duty and cannot call Bai Zhihong and his wife his father.

At the mention of this, Bai Zhihong's face immediately showed a sad expression and said: "After the old man was hit repeatedly, the condition of his body is not as good as day by day, and now he is always tired and unconscious, sometimes he will be sober, and sometimes he will be in a trance. ”

Meng Guanshuang estimated that the old man was worried about his illness and had Alzheimer's disease, and then looked at the old lady Bai who was in full spirit, and it was estimated that she did not pay attention to helping the old man recuperate when the old man first became ill.

Thinking of their husband and wife, but in the end they were separated from each other, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the old man, so she advised: "The old man is not attached to his mind now, he should find one more person to serve the old man well!" ”

The memory of the elderly with Alzheimer's disease tends to decline, and once they are confused, it is normal if they walk out and can't come back!

"There is not even a subordinate in the mansion now, who else can have time to serve him!" Old Lady Bai said disdainfully.

Bai Zhihong glanced at her helplessly, and said: "My son will immediately send someone over to serve his father later, and the monthly money and food and drink expenses will be paid by my son!" ”

When Bai Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he said: "His third uncle, you see that your mother is also old, and there are no fewer people around to serve you, do you also buy a maid to come over and serve your mother?" Also, since my father is not very well, his mouth is also picky eater, and the vegetarian dishes on weekdays are not to my father's taste. Oh, and besides, the cook in the kitchen is too busy to be alone, so it would be nice if I could buy another one......"

She is taking the opportunity to equip her own subordinates! (To be continued......)
