Chapter 8: Grandfather
Wen Hui actually wanted to open the curtain to see what this long-known mansion chief that her parents loved and hated looked like? But Wen Hui suppressed the curiosity in her heart, many people must know about her arrival, she doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at herself, waiting for her to make mistakes, waiting to see her own jokes, waiting to threaten her parents with her mistakes, so that she will not be fooled.
Therefore, the old god Wen Hui was sitting in the carriage, and Chen Caijia was very satisfied, and secretly praised in his heart, he was worthy of being a girl from everyone, and this cultivation was good.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Chen Caijia got out of the car very neatly and said to Wen Hui: "Girl, it's time to get out of the second gate, please get off the car and change the sedan chair." ”
Wen Hui got off the car slowly, there was already a soft sedan waiting next to her, and the sedan chair was carried by four rough mothers-in-law, all dressed neatly, and her hair was combed and shiny, Wen Hui couldn't help but think in her heart, it is worthy of the Chen family's mansion, that is, these four rough mothers-in-law who carry the sedan chair are more generous than ordinary people.
Sitting in a sedan chair and walking for a long time, I felt that it turned around a few times, and finally, Chen Caijia's voice came: "Girl, we have arrived at the Rejuvenation Courtyard, and the third master and the third lady are already waiting for you at the door." ”
As soon as she heard that her parents were already waiting, Wen Hui hurriedly got off the sedan chair. Mother is fine, we were still seeing each other not long ago, but this has been a month or two. My father hasn't seen her for a longer time, and Wen Hui has long missed it.
When I got down from the sedan chair, I looked up and saw a group of servants and maids standing on both sides of the steps, and at the end was a beautiful woman and an elegant and handsome middle-aged man. I haven't seen him for a long time, but my father's demeanor is still the same, no, it should be said that he is more handsome, elegant with some majesty, and looks more manly.
Chen Wenhui forgot about her reserve, ran over, and shouted, "Father." Mother. ”
Chen Yuanheng and Bai were also very excited, and hurriedly ran up to greet them, and the father and daughter held hands and looked at each other, and entered the house hand in hand. Wait until you sit down. Chen Yuanheng asked Wen Hui many questions, such as how safe the road was? How are you doing? There was concern in her words, and Wen Hui was very happy that she was still her father's favorite daughter. Mother Bai's has more problems, how is the industry handled? What about the property? How about the shop? How about the fields? How is business in Shanghai? Wen Hui answered one by one.
Chen Yuanheng smiled and said: "Okay, madam, Hui'er has worked hard all the way, she should take a break, and she will go to see her grandfather and grandmother later, and you will take it to her sister-in-law." As for the second sister-in-law, let's leave these housework for the evening. ”
Bai Shi hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, what the master said is that Hui'er should be tired, do you want to eat something?" Wait a minute, your father will take you to the upper room to see your grandfather and grandmother. ”
Wen Hui said: "I'm not hungry. On the way just now, Chen's mother gave me refreshments. Are you going to see your grandfather and grandmother? ”
For her grandparents and grandmothers, Chen Wenhui doesn't like them very much. Old lady Chen Zhaonan is better, he is her own grandfather, how to say that he is also related by blood, and he is also very good to his father, didn't he listen to Chen's mother on the road. In the past, when his family went out of the capital, he secretly sent 5,000 taels of silver. Of course, his ROI is high. That year, my family gave my grandfather 100,000 taels of silver at once. 5,000 taels earned back 100,000 taels, which is a super high rate of return. Also, this grandfather doesn't treat her very well. For her two brothers are still very concerned and loving, when she was a child, she did not take her eldest brother and second brother's things, those precious inkstones, famous calligraphy, beautiful brushes. The precious ink was obtained by the brothers from their grandfathers. Therefore, she still has a good impression of her grandfather.
As for grandmothers? This person has no blood relationship with their family at all, but is only his father's nominal mother, and it is said that his father tortured his father a lot when he was a child. His real grandmother was his grandfather's concubine, she was very favored back then, and she died unexplained after giving birth to her father, Wen Hui guessed that it must have been done by the Li family, so in this way, they are not relatives, they are enemies. Not to mention, after her mother Bai got married, Li, as a mother-in-law, made things difficult for Bai, and Wen Hui often listened to her nurse when she was a child. There are also two elder brothers, Li doesn't like it either, and there is the matter of his mother who was born prematurely, although it was done by the second aunt, but the mastermind behind it is this Li. This is a new hatred and an old hatred, such a person, but he wants to visit her and respect her as his grandmother, how disgusting he thinks.
But what does Ji Hui think in her heart, this era is like this, Chen Yuanheng is the son of a concubine, and his only mother can only be his mother-in-law Li, and his biological mother, the sixth aunt, cannot be regarded as his grandmother. Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but start scolding this perverted social rule in her heart again.
Chen Yuanheng said: "Yes, it is said that as soon as you come back and don't enter the door, you should go to kowtow to your grandfather and grandmother first." But you are a little girl, you have to freshen up and change your clothes first, so you can rest first, and we should go quickly, and when it is time to eat, your grandfather and grandmother will be in trouble if they leave you to eat. ”
Chen Wenhui felt a pang in her heart, her father still knew herself, and it was acceptable to go to see her, but it would be uncomfortable if you ate together. Chen Wenhui was busy with her mother's inner room under the leadership of her mother, first took out the gorgeous clothes for meeting guests from the box, put them on, and freshened up and dressed up. Bai Shi looked at his daughter, who was not yet twelve years old, but she was very tall, and she looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
The face concentrates the advantages of his husband and wife, and it is extremely beautiful, and it will be more beautiful after two years. In addition, Wen Hui is very good at dressing up, although she does not use rouge gouache, but she uses emollient skin care products, and her skin looks white and tender, like a freshly baked egg, trembling, white and tender. A pair of big watery eyes, full of wisdom. The crow's hair is combed into a girl's hairstyle emerald cloud bun, with two small red gold phoenix hairpins and two pearl flowers made of colored gemstones, which looks rich and pretty. Wearing a red brocade jacket and a pink and green makeup jacket, a green silk face leather skirt underneath, and a pair of red deerskin boots, she looked delicate and festive.
couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and he also changed into a rose-purple two-color gold and silver mouse shoulder gown and was about to walk out holding Wen Hui's hand, just took a step, and remembered to say: "You visited your grandparents, did you have any gifts for the maids around your grandmother?" ”
Wen Hui said with a smile: "I have been prepared for a long time, it is a gold-filled ancient vine bracelet inlaid with Nanyang pearls." What do you think? ”
Bai smiled and said, "It's very good, it's not valuable, but it's also very distinctive, so it's just right." ”
Chen Yuanheng saw the mother and daughter coming out hand in hand outside, living out of the two beauties, very eye-catching, and couldn't help but be very proud, the family of three went out of the yard, sat on the soft sedan chair, and went to the upper room.
The courtyard where Chen Zhaonan and his wife live is called Tambo Hall, tall and majestic, the courtyard has three entrances, the first entry is the main hall where Chen Zhaonan entertains guests, and Chen Zhaonan's study, etc., the second entry is the main room where the old lady Li lives, the five main rooms are very tall, and there are two compartments next to it. There are three houses, and they are also gorgeous, with flowering trees in the middle and a small pond dug in the middle, which are beautifully arranged. Behind is a row of low-slung houses, separated by where Chen Zhaonan's aunts live. There were many people living here back then, including Chen Yuanheng's biological mother, Aunt Six. Now there is only one eighth aunt, the Rong family, who lives.
Chen Yuanheng took his wife and daughter to the courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, the big housekeeper came to report that the old lady and the old lady were in the old lady's main room, and Chen Yuanheng's family was busy entering the second main room. Next to the main room was a beautiful maid with goose wings standing, silent, all wearing the same clothes and combing the same hair. When I saw their family of three, they just saluted, and they didn't look at them blindly. Chen Wenhui couldn't help but think in her heart, this grandmother Li is still very strict, at least the rules of the people around her are still good, and she is worthy of being a person who comes out of a high-ranking family and has been in charge of the portal for decades, which really can't be underestimated.
Just thinking about it, a beautiful maid came out and said with a smile: "The sixth girl is back?" The third master, the third lady, hurriedly came in, and the old lady and the old lady waited for a while. After speaking, he personally lifted the thick curtain of purple flower brocade, Chen Yuanheng smiled, and Bai said with a pleasant face: "Thank you, Jinhuan girl, please make the curtain for us personally." ”
The rules of the big family are that the big girl next to the old lady is the most respected, and although the third lady Bai is the wife of the court, she is also flattered to the big girl next to her mother-in-law.
Chen Wenhui smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Jinhuan is tired. As soon as the words fell, Cui Qiao, the big girl who followed Chen Wenhui next to her, hurriedly reached out and handed Jin Huan a pearl-inlaid gold vine bracelet that had been prepared a long time ago, and said, "Sister Jin Huan, I am Cui Qiao by the girl's side." ”
Jin Huan looked at Cui Qiao, and saw that Cui Qiao was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was generous and extraordinary, and she couldn't help nodding secretly, this six girls were really extraordinary.
Chen Wenhui's family of three has already entered the house, and Chen Wenhui found that this house is really magnificent, but it is full of atmosphere, and there is no nouveau riche feeling, it is really rich and noble. The furniture is tall and simple pear, the floor tiles are finely carved cyan peony patterns, look up, a simple and elegant old man sitting, next to him is a silver hair but combed very good-looking old woman, it is the grandmother Li. Next to my grandfather stood a middle-aged beauty in her thirties who was waiting, needless to say, the very favored Aunt Rong.
Chen Yuanheng took his wife and daughter to salute his parents in a proper manner. The old lady Chen Zhaonan said with a smile: "Okay, I haven't seen Wen Hui for a few years, she has grown so big, she looks taller than her fourth and fifth sisters." Good boy, you are very good and capable, and Princess Lichuan has praised you a lot. It's really for my Chen family. ”
When Li Shi next to him heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Good boy, this looks very good, like the sixth aunt when she was young." ”
As soon as the Bai family heard this, a fierce color flashed on their faces, this old lady Li was really too deceitful.
