Chapter 174: Don't give face

After several days of cold spring, the weather in Jizhou finally warmed up.

After the cold winter, it was still a depression, only the two toon trees in the yard took the lead in smelling the warm spring breath and quietly pulled out a few thin buds.

The old lady allowed Su Xue to go out of the house to Zhang's Hospital to help people see the sick, but today she asked Su Xue to stay in the house.

Because the eldest lady and the eldest aunt are coming to the house.

Su Xue quickly picked up the goods early in the morning, and went to the front hall with the people in the house to wait.

The carriage of the eldest lady and the eldest aunt arrived in Jiangfu near noon, and as soon as the porter came back to report, the old lady walked out with everyone to greet them.

Compared with the last time when the eldest lady came back quietly and left without any care, this time the old lady gave enough face and opened the main gate of Jiangfu to welcome the eldest aunt and eldest lady.

Su Xue followed everyone's footsteps and walked out, and after a while, she heard the old lady whisper, quickened her pace, and shouted: "My sister Ling, you are finally back, take care of your steps, let grandmother take a good look!" ”

The old lady's eyes focused on the eldest lady's lower abdomen, and everyone involuntarily looked at her lower abdomen, but they didn't see anything unusual.

Or Hu's mother smiled and said: "It's only a month and a half of my body, it's cold and I wear thick clothes, where can I see anything?" ”

Su Xue also followed the prestige, and saw that the eldest lady Jiang Yuanling was wearing an elegant dark blue background embroidered with a hundred butterflies and a long jacket with wide sleeves, and a tangled peony Sihe Ruyi cloud shoulders were draped outside, and a noble Lingyun bun was combed, and the red gold dotted cui Ruyi on it shook the atmosphere and was public.

It is said that after pregnancy, you should dress more elegantly, but this eldest lady is the opposite.

The old lady was distressed and missed the appearance of the eldest lady. The eldest lady is not very useful. He smiled and glanced at the old lady. Gestureously squatted and wanted to make a salute, but was immediately supported by the old lady.

She didn't insist anymore, stood up straight, turned to look at her eldest aunt Zheng Tingxuan beside her, and said with a smile: "Hou Yerao is tired all the way, and he should also see his grandmother." ”

Hearing the sentence "Master Hou" in the eldest lady's mouth, the old lady couldn't help but keep her eyes.

Hou Ye? Could it be that Zheng Tingxuan has already attacked the knighthood?

The eldest lady was a little delicate in her words, and the eldest aunt was also easy-going and obedient this time, and immediately bowed to the old lady and the eldest master. Said: "My grandmother's father-in-law is healthy, my grandson-in-law is entangled in mundane things, and I don't often bring Yuanling back, and I hope my grandmother and father-in-law will understand more." ”

The old lady immediately came back to her senses and smiled at Zheng Ting: "The virtuous grandson-in-law has a lot of affairs, and this Jizhou is not too far from the capital, so Yuanling will come back by herself." ”

The old man just smiled dryly.

The eldest lady twitched the corners of her mouth slightly mockingly, the old lady was so snobbish, and it was inevitable that her face would change too quickly.

Although it's annoying to look at, the eldest lady just thinks it's very happy.

It's rare. The old lady also greeted her with a smile on her face.

Thinking about it, he suddenly glanced at Su Xue behind him. His eyes couldn't help but be cold, but he joked and said: "The third sister is really getting more and more standard, no wonder she looks down on the Shen family with a high vision." ”

Su Xue's eyebrows narrowed slightly, but she did not respond.

Zheng Tingxuan followed the eldest lady's gaze and looked over, only to see a little lady with low eyebrows, and couldn't help but smile secretly, the crazy girl in front of her was gone?

I quickly calculated the years in my heart, I haven't been to Jiang Mansion for a long time, and the three young ladies of the Jiang family have all become big girls.

The eldest lady was sneering at Su Xue with all her heart, but she didn't notice Zheng Tingxuan's meaningful gaze.

Seeing that Su Xue was silent, she smiled again: "But this world is really unpredictable, Shen Ergongzi still became the uncle of our Jiang family." The second uncle is considerate, and he doesn't forget his son-in-law when he gets promoted, and he is busy recommending the fifth aunt to repair for the Hanlin Academy, although it looks like it's just an idle one, but it's also a first-class jinshi who can do it, so it can be seen that the second uncle has high hopes for the fifth aunt......"

The eldest lady deliberately slowed down her speech and looked at Su Xue teasingly.

Everyone was slightly startled, but the old lady's face was calm, and she thought that the second master had told the old lady before recommending it.

Jing Xuan, who was beside Su Xue, couldn't calm down, and Su Xue seemed to hear her let out a soft snort.

The eldest lady stared straight at Su Xue, but Su Xue only raised her eyelids and responded: "The eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law are in Beijing, so they naturally understand the affairs of the court and the central government, and my father will enter Beijing next month to take up a post, and fortunately, there is a big sister and eldest brother-in-law in Beijing to take care of it." ”

When the old lady heard this, she also hurriedly said: "Exactly, your second uncle can't let go of Jizhou, so he would rather run back and forth like this than move his family over." His stubborn temperament, I don't know how many times I persuaded him to come down, but then I thought about it, isn't there a Yuanling in the capital, there is a care for him from far and near. ”

The eldest lady replied lukewarmly: "The second uncle is happy to be promoted, and he is still the Taichang Siqing who is most valued by the imperial court, and his official fortune is prosperous, so how can he be taken care of from far and near?" ”

The old lady looked stunned, knowing that the eldest lady would not give her a good look, but she would not be so rude in front of everyone.

It's not wrong for her to do anything in the past, even if she is blessed, she may not be able to keep it for long.

The old lady held back her displeasure, and said something else, and stood at the entrance of the front hall for a long time before taking the eldest lady's hand into the room.

After eating some refreshments in the front hall, he told Hu's mother to go to the kitchen to deliver food.

The eldest lady kept talking to the old lady without smiling, and when she heard the rice, she suddenly frowned, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, Yuanling feels a little uncomfortable and wants to go back to the house to rest......"

The old lady became nervous: "Where is it uncomfortable?" But it's still a joy to be happy? ”

The eldest lady deliberately frowned and nodded: "Isn't it?" This little guy must be a lively and active person, and he started tossing me when he was just a little older! ”

The eldest lady said that she was distressed, but there was a smug look in her eyes, and Aunt Xiao on the side hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of the eldest lady, it's a good thing to be happy, it just shows that the little marquis is a smart and capable person!" ”

Aunt Xiao's little marquis shouted smoothly, and everyone echoed and shouted little marquis.

The eldest lady gently touched her lower abdomen and said angrily: "Child, have you heard, everyone praises you for being smart and capable, you have suffered so many sins for your mother, don't let your mother down." ”

raised his eyes and glanced at Aunt Xiao again: "Auntie understands like this, could it be that she was also happy and uncomfortable at the beginning?" I think it's the same, otherwise how could Brother Jun be so smart and sensible! ”

After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Jiang Yongjun and frowned, "Hey, why don't you see Brother Jun?" ”

Everyone was stunned, this Jun brother had just been sent to the ancestral house by the old lady, and the eldest lady clearly knew, but she deliberately took it out and asked.

Mother Hu glanced at the old lady quickly, got the instructions, and then responded with a smile: "Brother Jun is a dutiful son, and he has always been worried about the eldest lady in his heart, so he also went to the ancestral house." ”

The eldest lady snorted softly, this ability to reverse black and white is really at the top!

But now that there are so many young ladies and young masters, it is inconvenient for the eldest lady to directly pierce it, so she only sank her face and said, "Didn't grandmother pass the meal?" Hou Ye accompanied him to eat, Yuanling was really uncomfortable, so she went back to the house first. ”

This obviously doesn't want to give the old lady face.

The old lady knew what this meant, but her face was still nervous and said, "Then you go back to the house to rest for a while, and when you are comfortable, I will immediately ask Mother Hu to bring the food." ”

The eldest lady only glanced at the old lady with her spare eyes and did not reply.

Zheng Tingxuan got up and said with a smile: "Grandmother-in-law doesn't have to bother, she just needs to hand it over to her grandson-in-law." ”

Mother Hu immediately said: "How can you let Master Hou do all this?" ”

Saying that, he walked quickly to the eldest lady's side and said, "Then the old slave will accompany the eldest lady back to the room, the eldest lady wants to eat, and the old slave should go and get it immediately." ”

The eldest lady nodded lazily and agreed.

Mother Hu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the old lady with relief.

The old lady had dinner here, and Mother Hu accompanied the eldest lady back to the house, walking through the cold courtyard of the big house, and the eldest lady couldn't help sighing.

She said that she was uncomfortable and didn't want to eat, but as soon as she returned to the house, she asked Hu's mother to fetch food.

Hu's mother was naturally happy and bowed down again and again to retire.

The maid magpie harrier looked at the door, and made sure that Mother Hu was far away, so she opened the curtain and walked in and said, "Young grandma, what do you think?" ”

The eldest lady snorted lowly: "Didn't you see that the old lady Fang Cai's eyes were straight after hearing that Hou Ye?" This time, it's fine! ”

As he spoke, he touched his stomach again, and said: "It's also our fight, the title of the old marquis is posthumously sealed, and the emperor must open the golden mouth to attack the knight." There has been no way to do it in the past, isn't it to blame that group of corrupt courtiers for impeaching the marquis all day long? Now that I am pregnant, the Hou Ye has suddenly reined in, and the emperor Shengming immediately issued an order, estimating that the news has not yet reached Jizhou, so the old lady's frog at the bottom of the well was surprised! ”

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but smile.

Now she is a proper Mrs. Hou, and the old lady's previous pies have been collected for her!

When she came back this time, she just wanted to suppress and suppress the old lady's arrogance!

About half an hour, Hu's mother came back with the food box in a hurry, and the eldest lady saw that Hu's mother was sweating, and she didn't find fault with anything more, so she sent Hu's mother back and asked the magpie harrier to serve her food.

Mother Hu stood in place a little embarrassed, looking at the eldest lady with her eyes blank.

She was instructed by the old lady to take care of the eldest lady, what is the matter with the eldest lady driving her back?

The eldest lady saw Hu's mother's thoughts, and said: "I have to take a nap after finishing my meal, according to my habits, generally speaking, I can wake up in less than three moments, but now there is a naughty egg in my stomach, I am more greedy to sleep, maybe I have to wait until Shen Shi." ”

This means that if the old lady has anything to say, just come over and say it.

Hu's mother withdrew with peace of mind.

When the old lady came back from lunch, Mother Hu immediately told the old lady what the eldest lady meant.

The corner of the old lady's eyes twitched, and she sneered: "It's really Mrs. Hou, the shelf is big, please don't move!" (To be continued......)
