Chapter 394: Relatives Meet
Zhang stood outside the gate of the Hou Mansion in Dingbei, and saw that the gate of the Hou Mansion was even more magnificent than the gate of the old man's mansion in Kangcheng County, and couldn't help but say to himself: "The girl is also bitter!" ”
Liu Yue was helped by the maid to the door, with a happy face: "Mother, you can count it, come with me into the house quickly!" ”
Zhang nodded, then looked at the clothes on his body, and made sure that there was nothing inconsiderate, so he was helped by the two maids on the side to go to the house. The two gossiped along the way, and Liu Yue introduced the scenery of the house to Zhang, talking interesting gossip on weekdays.
After walking for a while, she arrived at Mrs. Hou's courtyard, and Liu Yue was about to let people report, how did she know that her mother-in-law had come out with a scripture. still had a gentle smile: "My in-laws have worked hard, I should have gone to visit my in-laws first, but I have been busy with my daughter's marriage these days, and I really can't get away." Don't be surprised by the in-laws! ”
Zhang was originally a little nervous, but seeing the kind smile on Mrs. Hou's face, he finally felt less nervous. politely replied: "Mrs. in-law is polite, it doesn't matter who looks at anyone first, anyway, I have to come over to see Yue'er at leisure, and it can be regarded as recognizing the door." ”
Mrs. Hou glanced at her in-laws a few times, although she was a country woman, she had a good temperament, and she was squirming when talking to herself, which was straightforward. It seems that there is no need to worry about the wife of the in-laws embarrassing her son, and she said that she was also married at the beginning, but she didn't expect to bring the in-laws to the capital.
But this matter is in the Queen Mother, where is the Queen Mother's stepmother, so can you take the country woman to sit with the Queen Mother?
Zhang's mother on the side was busy giving Liu Yue and Zhang's salutes, Zhang's knew that the rules of this Hou Mansion were big, and they didn't know how to return the courtesy, so they could only stand.
Liu Yue took the opportunity to help Zhang's mother up, with a look of blame: "Mother Zhang, look at you, how many times have I talked to you, there is no need to salute." You are the person who serves your mother's side, and you are an old man who watched the prince grow up, how can I accept your gift? ”
Mother Zhang smiled slightly: "What Mrs. Shizi said is right, but this rule cannot be abolished, Mrs. Shizi still accepts it." ”
Mrs. Hou nodded with a smile, then directly took Zhang's hand and said with a smile: "Look at me, let the guests stand at the door, and I don't know how to invite the wife of the in-laws into the house to sit." ”
The Zhang family saw that their in-laws were so easy to get along with, and they were also kind to themselves, and Mrs. Hou personally greeted her at the gate of the courtyard, which could be regarded as giving face to the full-term child.
A commoner like herself wants to see Mrs. Hou as a courtesy, but Yue'er has to say that it is good to be like an ordinary person, let yourself not be restrained, just relax. I didn't believe it before.
I was still very worried and nervous, but when I saw Mrs. Hou herself, I felt that what Yue'er said was good, but it was not like ordinary people and families looking like each other, saying polite words and showing favor to each other. Zhang was led into the house by Mrs. Hou, and then sat next to Mrs. Hou, and then the maids began to serve refreshments.
To say that the Zhang family has seen a lot of good things and eaten a lot of delicious dim sum over the years, but when he saw the dim sum of the Hou Mansion and the good fragrant tea, he knew that people were talking about the wealth of Houmen.
"Mrs. In-laws, I came to the capital from Cannes this time, and I didn't bring any good things, all of them were some local products of Cannes. Mrs. Hou didn't dislike it, she accepted it, and the things that Mrs. Hou sent to Kangcheng before, our whole family liked it, and Mrs. Hou had a heart. ”
Mrs. Hou smiled slightly: "Mrs. In-law is polite, I also like the specialties of Cannes, so Mrs. In-law bothered." I heard Yue'er say that the sauerkraut and sour bamboo shoots made by my in-laws are the best, so I have to taste them later. The in-laws are really ingenious! ”
Zhang's face turned red, he didn't expect this girl to talk so fast, and she was embarrassed to take out such a crude thing as she made herself. This Mrs. Hou has never eaten any good things, and she will let people taste it, but she can't give people a joke.
"Actually, it's not that good, it's just a homemade side dish in the countryside on weekdays. Is it Yue'er's exaggeration of what this girl said, I'm afraid that Mrs. Hou can't get used to it? ”
Mrs. Hou looked at the honest Zhang, knowing that the Zhang family was afraid that she would not like to eat, and Mrs. Hou felt much more relaxed when talking to such a simple person.
It's better to get along with than those ladies in the capital, it seems that Yue'er, this girl, doesn't follow her mother's temperament. On the contrary, he is more thoughtful and has more scruples, but how can he survive among the powerful?
"The in-laws don't have to care, what Yue'er likes is the taste of her mother, and her daughter's favorite food is still the food made by her mother. It's a pity that I can't do anything, otherwise I can leave some memories for my daughter. Thinking that her daughter was about to get married, but she could no longer protect her, Mrs. Hou always couldn't hide her sadness.
The Zhang family also heard Yue'er say that Miss Mo Yu of the Hou Mansion is going to marry into the Prince's Mansion and become the future princess, maybe she will be the queen of a country in the future. In the past, the biggest official that the Zhang family heard of was the county master, but compared to the queen, the county prince was nothing at all.
However, the mood of marrying a daughter, the Zhang family can also understand that those who are mothers are reluctant. "Don't worry about the in-laws, this girl will naturally marry when she is older, if she really stays by her mother's side until she is old, although her mother is not worried that her daughter will be wronged.
But the girl has no one who knows the cold and the hot, and this woman is not left. At the beginning, I didn't know how much I was worried that Yue'er wouldn't be able to get married, or that she would have a bad mother-in-law and meet a husband with a bad heart. But now that Yue'er is married, I feel a lot more relieved to see Yue'er so happy. ”
Mrs. Hou nodded, although the in-laws persuaded her like this, but if her daughter marries into an ordinary family, she doesn't have to worry about it at all, but if she marries into the royal family, her heart will be tied to her daughter for the rest of her life.
But how did Madame Hou say some things? can only squeeze out a smile: "What the in-laws said is that the daughter will marry out after all when she grows up, otherwise the mother will be worried?" ”
Liu Yue looked towards the door, optimistic and saw Mo Yu coming, Mo Yu has been learning the rules and understanding the situation of the prince's mansion these days, so he has no time to gossip with him. Liu Yue didn't want to disturb Mo Yu, but when she saw Mo Yu coming, she immediately stepped forward happily: "Yu'er is coming, come and sit down quickly, let my sister-in-law see, have you lost weight?" ”
Mo Yu smiled slightly, then stepped forward to salute Mrs. Hou, and then looked at Zhang's Fufu body, and said with a sweet smile: "This is the aunt of the in-laws!" ”
When the Zhang family saw this crown princess, they couldn't sit or stand, but Mo Yu comforted: "Don't see your aunt, I'm not the princess now?" You just have to take it easy, if the rain comes and makes you restrained, then the rain should blame yourself? ”
Zhang's smiled honestly: "The sons and daughters of the in-laws are all good-looking, and when I saw my uncle before, I was surprised by the scriptures." Now that I see Miss Yu'er, it's even more pitiful. The in-laws are so blessed! ”
Mo Yu made Zhang's praise immediately blush, and leaned towards Mrs. Hou's side, looking shy. Mrs. Hou took Mo Yu's hand and looked at her daughter, who was slowly growing up, her eyes were full of distress and reluctance. "Have you followed the grandmothers to learn the rules today?"
Mo Yu nodded and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't worry, I won't come again." ”
After speaking, he sat down next to Liu Yue, looked at Liu Yue's still pregnant belly, and looked forward to it: "Why hasn't this little nephew grown up yet!"
This made all the people in the room laugh, and Mrs. Hou looked at her daughter with a loving face: "Look at you, such an adult still says such ignorant words, your sister-in-law is still young?" It won't take until four months later for the belly to grow bigger, which is a big deal. ”
Zhang's helped Mo Yu speak: "Where does this girl know this, Yue'er saw me with a big belly at that time, and asked me if my stomach was too full, so my belly became bigger?" ”
At this time, Mo Yu was also amused, and asked curiously: "Was my sister-in-law like this when she was a child?" ”
Zhang nodded and slowly recalled what happened when Liu Yue was a child, "Your sister-in-law was a little adult when she was a child, and she held up half the sky alone?" When you are seven or eight years old, you can support a large family, and your sister-in-law will take care of the dozens of chickens and ducks raised at home, and you will have to go to the field to help grow vegetables, and you will also go to the city to sell vegetables. Now that I think about it, I don't think it's easy for her! ”
Although Mrs. Hou and Mo Yu had heard some things about Liu Yue's past, and knew that Liu Yue was in business and raised a large family, they did not know that Liu Yue had raised a family since she was seven or eight years old. Mrs. Hou couldn't help but feel a little more pity for this daughter-in-law, such a strong woman could support the Hou Mansion.
And Mo Yu admires her sister-in-law, she has been causing trouble all day long since she was seven or eight years old, and her mother scolded herself a lot. I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would be able to support the family at any time and help the family do the work.
"Sister-in-law, you are really capable, my eldest brother is far worse than you, and he will only cause trouble all day long. I don't know how many troubles I caused in the capital? I don't know how many times I let my mother scold. ”
Liu Yuewan'er smiled: "Your eldest brother also has many advantages, he is very optimistic, generous, persistent, and brave." It's just that what you see all the time is his shortcomings. ”
Mo Yu immediately smiled evilly: "Sister-in-law, look at you, now you are looking at the eldest brother." Big brother is really blessed! ”
Mrs. Hou was also happy when she saw that her daughter-in-law could easily tell the advantages of her son, which proved that Ming's daughter-in-law had a son in her heart. In the past year, I have seen my son doting on his daughter-in-law everywhere and towards his daughter-in-law, although I feel a little sorry for my son, and I am also a little afraid that my daughter-in-law will not treat her son sincerely.
But now it seems that maybe he is too careful, and then look at his daughter-in-law's big belly, and his son can be regarded as a beauty.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Mrs. Hou asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes, and Liu Yue also specially asked the kitchen to put the sauerkraut and sour bamboo shoots brought by her mother on the table. Mrs. Hou actually likes to eat some dry goods, and when she saw the dried bamboo shoots and duck soup on the table, she couldn't help but have a great appetite.
Mo Yu said that he had a good fortune today, although he had been eating the dishes on the table, Liu Yue still found that Mo Yu's dining etiquette was very good. And when the mother-in-law saw Mo Yu's etiquette, she had a loving smile on her face, and her eyes were very complicated, both happy and sad.
Maybe I'm happy that Mo Yu has grown up, but at the same time I feel that Mo Yu is too pitiful. This is the complicated mood of being a mother, just like a mother who obviously hopes that she will marry sooner, but after knowing that she is married, she feels reluctant. R1152
