Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 307, Growing Pains
Chapter 307, growing pains
Changsheng was taken aback, he didn't expect that Jin Shu had been sullen and unhappy last night because of this. She has a very deep relationship with those four girls, and she should want to come back at first glance, but that can only be slowly figured out, how can she want it in front of people when they meet officially for the first time, isn't this a slap in the face of the county lord of Anyang? She was able to buy these four girls back together and hide them tightly, wasn't it just to take advantage of herself and Jinshu one day?
But Shu'er also took this opportunity really well, although it was not appropriate to ask for this for the first time, but if the county lord answered her, it would be just a big gift for his stepdaughter, and the four girls could also return to Shu'er naturally, no longer have to stay by Anyang's side and let others take care of it, if you miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to go back
While Changsheng was still hesitating, the old lady saw that she didn't stop her in time, thinking that she had been very close to these girls before, maybe Jin Shu said this or she instructed her, so she forcibly held back her anger and said with an irrepressible sorrow: "This kid is usually quite sensible, why is he so willful today?" Your mother will naturally think about it for you, and this is not the time to talk about it."
When Jin Shu just saw the four girls yesterday, she wanted to come back directly, but Changsheng secretly signaled that she was not allowed to mention it, and later saw that Mingche was very considerate and aggrieved by the county lord of Anyang, Changsheng thought that she had forgotten about it for the time being, but she didn't expect that she would keep it in her heart, just waiting for the time to mention it.
If you agree, it's not a waste of money and hard work but you don't achieve your goal, if you shouldn't, not only will you not be happy in your heart, but it will not be so easy to have a good relationship with Jinshu in the future.
Anyang understood how important Jinshu was in Mingqing's heart, and for a while he didn't know what to say, his eyes flew to Changsheng, but he was already hostile and annoyed, Changsheng sighed to himself, although she had been Jinshu's upbringing aunt, she didn't want Jinshu to teach her everything, don't count everything Jinshu did and said on her head, okay? She herself was unaware.
Although she desperately hoped that Anyang would agree to Jinshu's request in order to show virtue and love, she also understood that this matter could not be urged or forced, so it was better to retreat as advance, so she looked at Jinshu and said: "Shu'er misunderstood the kindness of the county lord, she will be your mother in the future, can she still think about you everywhere?" I don't give it to you now, in fact, it's for your good, although those girls have used it before, but I haven't seen it for so many years, and they are all children with volatile hearts, no one knows what kind of character it is now, if you can't serve you properly, or do something wrong, isn't it your mother's? ”
Although Jin Shu wanted to go back to the four of them, she had always been accustomed to listening to Changsheng's words, seeing that she disagreed in her words and expression, and knew that she was reckless today, and then looked at her father and frowned, An Yang looked at her thoughtfully, her heart sank, although she was still young, she also knew that this matter was not so simple, and she didn't know what to say for a while, and she was even more afraid that it would backfire, so she only nodded her head.
Although Anyang was unhappy in his heart, he also knew that he couldn't be willful on this day no matter what, not to mention that Mingche was still watching from the sidelines, so he laughed a few times and said: "Shu'er, don't worry, your third aunt is right, I'll **** these girls for you for a while, and when they are used, you can rest assured, and then let them serve you, how about it?" Accept these gifts quickly, and we'll talk about the girl later."
Shu'er took the gift, opened it at the signal of Changsheng, but caused everyone to say "ah", even Changsheng was secretly surprised that Anyang was so big, the red brocade was tiled with a layer of gold, jade and pearl all kinds of jewelry, which was worth a lot of money at a glance, but Shu'er handed it to the full house behind her with an indifferent look, and then thanked her obediently and detachedly, and stepped aside, Anyang saw that she didn't seem to care, and for a while, she was stunned, and saw that everyone was envious, and she was proud again, thinking that Jinshu was just too young to know good goods.
After this episode, the bride's tea ceremony was quickly completed, but the atmosphere became awkward. It is said that when the newcomer enters the door, the mother-in-law should explain the housework, the concubine should lead the familiar family environment, and the house slaves should kowtow to the new master, but this is the county lord's mansion, not the Xie mansion, speaking of which Anyang and Mingche are the masters, the Xie family has become guests, how can there be guests to teach the master?
What's more, the old lady here is not familiar with the housework, and the environment is not familiar with Changsheng, most of the house slaves are old slaves of the Huai'an Palace, there is no need to kowtow again to recognize the master, for a while everyone was sneering, the old lady quickly reacted, and said painlessly: "Okay, you were tired for a day yesterday, you all go down to rest, and get together again at lunchtime." The county lord and the county horse also went to rest, and in the future, the two should be humble to each other and respect each other as guests, so that the prince and the princess can rest assured, and the old body will also rest assured that Changsheng has time to help the county lord prepare for the return to Ning. ”
Changsheng nodded in response, and took the opportunity to ask: "Mother, a few days ago, the third master and I were going to return to Ning with my uncle, but it coincided with the happy event of the eldest brother and the county lord. ”
The old lady nodded, she had already had enough of Anyang's style, although she didn't like Changsheng, but she didn't like Anyang even more in comparison, just to rely on the power of King Huai'an to make the Xie family prosperous again, but it didn't mean that she could endure anything, and she didn't know what kind of punishment she would have to suffer if she lived again, and Changsheng's request just gave her the stairs.
"It's okay, you got married earlier than the boss, and after returning to Ning, you will stay a little longer and come back, check the salute again, don't forget the things you should bring, go to the street tomorrow, and buy some tuyi in Beijing to send your parents for me." After you leave, we are going back to Wugong County, and the two little ones are still waiting at home, and there is no reliable master to take care of them, so I really don't feel at ease. ”
Changsheng just responded, and An Yang on the side didn't follow, she laughed a few times: "So I delayed the third child's return to Ning?" How can I feel sorry for this? But it's too late, and the favor is owed, so why don't you wait a little longer? Look at it, the old lady is leaving, you are also leaving, how can I take care of such a big county lord's mansion? Besides, there are some things, I am really difficult to come forward as a bride, how about asking the third aunt to give me a face and take care of it for me for some time? ”
Changsheng's heart sank, what did Anyang want to do? The old lady's face also turned pale, she said that she wanted to leave, the county lord of Anyang didn't have half a kind word to stay, but she wanted to leave the Mingjing couple who were ready to return to Ning, what did this woman want to do?
Without waiting for them to speak, Mingjing had already spoken, he stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "The county lord is polite, Changsheng has not even taken care of the Xie Mansion seriously, how can he have the ability to take care of such a large county lord's mansion?" I think the people sent by the prince and the princess are enough to take care of all the affairs in the palace for the county lord. Besides, the last time her uncle left, we had already said that we would leave in a few days, and if we dragged it on, we were afraid that the elders in the family would worry, and I asked my sister-in-law to forgive me. ”
An Yang suddenly sank his face, and said dissatisfiedly: "Since the third aunt entered the palace as a slave, she has been gathering less and leaving more with her family, and then she entered the Xie family as an aunt to raise her, I am afraid that she has long been accustomed to not going home, and she will have become a relative, but she is worried that she is deliberately prevaricating."
Mingjing's face sank, I have never seen such a face-to-face exposé, and a palace slave to raise an aunt, doesn't he just want to show off his high status? Before he could refute it, Mingche stepped forward and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, county lord, it is normal for people to return to Ning after marriage, no matter how important housework is, it is not as important as the reunion of other people's flesh and blood, not to mention that Mingjing has already said that when they return to Ning, they will come back to help, don't force it, let's go back and change into light civilian clothes, and I will accompany you around the garden in the morning when the weather is cold?" ”
An Yang rolled his eyes, although he didn't want to let Changsheng go as he wished, but in the end, the newlyweds were hot, and he couldn't compete with Mingche's interest in visiting the garden together, so he rushed to the old lady and followed Mingche away.
Seeing that the two were gone, Changsheng turned his head to look at Shu'er, she was looking at the backs of Ming Che and An Yang blankly, her face was full of grievances, and her heart ached, but she also understood that it was not that Ming Che was ruthless to his daughter when he had a newcomer, he just intended to show favor to An Yang, coax her to be happy, and let her and Mingjing return to Ning on schedule, but he wronged Jinshu.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade him, Mingche, who had already walked a few steps, turned his head and looked at Jinshu unbearably, obviously understanding what she was thinking, although he was afraid of Anyang, he still comforted her and said: "Shu'er, Daddy and your mother will have something to do, she just came, and she is not familiar with the environment of the county lord's mansion, Daddy will take her around, you and Brother Jinwen will talk to the old lady, don't pester your third uncle and third aunt, they are still busy cleaning up the ceremony, we will come over at lunch."
Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, although Mingche was a little involuntarily, but his love for Shu'er remained unchanged after all, and then looked at the past, Shu'er's expression was much more natural, obviously Daddy's persuasion worked, she nodded obediently and said: "Shu'er knows, Daddy don't worry, you go and get busy, I'll take care of myself"
She suddenly became so sensible, which surprised everyone present, Ming Che was stunned for a moment, but only nodded and pulled An Yang away, Changsheng's nose was sour, and he remembered a sentence: Sometimes growing up is an overnight thing. Shu'er must have understood that her father will have another person to care about in the future, someone more important than her, and Aunt Changsheng will not be able to take her as the main person everywhere, and she will have to learn to take care of herself in the future.
Changsheng and Mingjing glanced at each other, and felt extremely unbearable, and stepped forward and said: "Shu'er, it is very troublesome for my aunt to tidy up the ceremony, or you and your aunt tidy up together, you are a dexterous person, and you will definitely do well."
The old lady waved her hand and said happily: "It's okay, let's go down, I'm also tired, go back to rest, and let people tidy up their salutes and prepare to go back in a few days." ”
From beginning to end, in addition to the necessary etiquette, the Ming and Qing dynasties did not say a superfluous word, the two looked at Changsheng a few times with different expressions, and then followed the old lady away, and the house slaves also went their own ways, and only Mingjing Changsheng and Shu'er were left in the main hall.
Shu'er raised her head again, her eyes were already red, but there was a heart-wrenching alienation in her eyes, she looked at Changsheng and Mingjing indifferently: "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while." Then he walked to the door, picked up the house full of hands, and walked away.
Changsheng wanted to chase after her, but Mingjing stopped her: "The eldest brother married Anyang, this kind of thing will have to be faced sooner or later, let her be alone and quiet, just figure it out, we can't protect her for a lifetime." ”
Changsheng was speechless, but she also nodded in agreement, she knew in her previous life that people always grow up in frustration and pain, in this precocious era, the era when women marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, it is better to grow up earlier.
