Chapter 4 The First Meeting
Chapter 4 Initial Meeting (Free of charge)
Helian Rong opened her eyes with a cold sweat, she looked for Wuda all night, but she never found it.
What a nightmare! Helian Rong got up depressed and opened the door, Bi Liu was already waiting outside the door with the two green-clothed girls, seeing Helian Rong woke up, he freshened up for her, Bi Liu took a new dress, "It may not fit well, the young grandmother will put it on first, and then call someone into the house to customize it later." ”
"I have ...... in my box" Helian Rong brought ten boxes from Xiyue to dowry, and there were also a lot of new clothes.
"This dress is specially prepared for young grandmothers." Biliu smiled kindly, "The young grandmother is the head of the Weifu, and this face can't be ignored." ”
"Boss?" Helian Rong was a little strange, "It doesn't matter if the old lady is old, there are three ladies in the Wei family, how can it be the turn of a young grandmother to be the head of the house?" ”
You must know that the errand of being in charge of the house is quite difficult, it is equivalent to the head of the logistics department of the Wei Mansion, and everything in the Wei family house has to be checked by her to be implemented, that is, the first person in the Wei family, and his identity is different.
Biliu saw that Helian Rong asked, so he turned around and let the two green-clothed girls go out, and while helping Helian Rong take care of his clothes, he said like gossip: "The eldest young master and the eldest lady were born to the first eldest lady, but they died very early, and the current eldest lady is the master's stepfamily, and the master loved the eldest young master very much when he was alive, so when he was dying, he specially confessed to let the eldest young grandmother be in charge." ”
Helian Rong found out yesterday that Bi Liu's speech was always on point, which made Helian Rong feel very comfortable, because some words really didn't need to be said too bluntly. Just like the old man is worried that the eldest lady will not treat the eldest young master well in the future, so he appointed his daughter-in-law to be in charge of the house, and there is no need to say it too bluntly.
However, being so distrusted by her husband, the eldest lady's heart must have been tied to a dead knot.
Helian Rong didn't ask any more questions, the relationship between the characters in the big family is always complicated, but these have nothing to do with herself, she just wants to live this life without worrying about food and clothing.
After changing her clothes, she was really big, and her skirt dragged on for a long time, but it was also someone's heart, so Helian Rong took the skirt and Biliu out of the room, and rushed to the hall of Weifu to meet her future relatives.
Weifu is very large, the residence of the second young master is the courtyard of the front and back, more than ten rooms, living room, bedroom, study, etc., Helian Rong glanced back when he was about to leave the courtyard door, and there was still a name, called Tingyuxuan.
In addition to listening to Yuxuan, there are old ladies and young masters and other people's residences in the Weifu, all of which are in the form of other courtyards, and the courtyards are connected by gardens between the courtyards, and the entrance of the garden is the Weifu Hall, and outside the hall is a courtyard and the main entrance. To tell the truth, even if Helian Rong's father is the county king of Xiyue Kingdom, the mansion is not as spacious and atmospheric as Weifu, and according to Biliu, the strength of the Wei family in Yunning City is only middle and upper, and it is not considered superior.
Helian Rong sighed as he followed Bi Liu into the Weifu Hall, the original slight whispering in the hall stopped abruptly when she stepped into the threshold, and the dozen or so chairs in the hall were almost full, all of them were women of the same gender, all of whom twisted their heads to look at her...... No, he was looking at her, which made Helian Rong a little cramped.
Biliu took Helian Rong into the hall and retreated to the side, Helian Rong was even more insecure, and he didn't dare to look around, so he could only smile at the old lady on the front seat of the hall door.
The old lady was over sixty years old, white and fat, and she and Helian Rong looked at each other for a long time before she said to the side: "Qinggu, bring her over." ”
Immediately, a woman in Tsing Yi in her forties came to Helian Rong and bowed slightly, "The second young grandmother comes with me." ”
Helian Rong breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Qinggu, and followed her to the old lady. Qinggu motioned for a green-clothed girl ring to bring a bowl of tea to Helian Rong, and waited for another girl ring to put a puff mat at the old lady's feet before continuing: "This is the old lady. ”
Helian Rong obediently knelt on the pu mat and served the tea with both hands, "Grandmother, please use tea." ”
The old lady said "um", but she didn't take the tea, Helian Rong lifted it for a long time before a pair of white and tender little hands took the tea bowl and put it on the small table on the side.
Helian Rong raised her eyes and saw that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old beautiful girl was smiling sweetly, also wearing the same cyan clothes as Bi Liu, seeing Helian Rong looking at her, she was lightly blessed, "Maid Bi Tao has seen the second young grandmother." ”
Helian Rong also smiled at her, and when she stood up, she saw that the corners of Qinggu's mouth had been pursed, which was a displeased expression signal, which was often revealed unconsciously.
She didn't have this expression on her face just now, could it be that what happened when she lowered her head to serve tea? Helian Rong was a little curious, but she quickly suppressed her curiosity and once again warned herself that she couldn't be curious about everything, especially in places where there were many women.
The old lady's expression has always been lukewarm, and she slowly spoke: "You are a ...... of Xiyue Kingdom"
Her voice was raised very high, and she kept hanging there, and Helian Rong answered it softly, "Granddaughter-in-law is the daughter of the king of Xiyue Guolian County, and she is the county lord. ”
The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at Helian Rong a little, "I heard that your father was a prince before, and you are also a county lord?" ”
"Yes......" Helian Rong smiled dryly, in fact, she was indeed a county lord when she first wore it, and later because her father insisted on going against the lord of Xiyue for more than ten years, the prince became the king of the county, and Helian Rong was also affected and demoted by one level, and the county lord became the county lord.
"What was the fault of your father's demotion to your father's title?" The young lady chased after her.
What do you say "yes ......"? said that her father had always been dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor did not pass the throne to him, so the implied rebellion caused the dissatisfaction of the lord of Xiyue?
Just as Helian Rong hesitated, the old lady waved her hand and spoke again, "This is Yunxia, you should also know what the Yunxia people think of the Xiyue people, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, don't make mistakes like your father." ”
"Yes......" Helian Rong burst into tears! Is this a personal attack on international friends? But if you think about it, it's no wonder that the Yunxia people have a bad impression of the Xiyue people, because the Xiyue people are really not good neighbors. Today when there is civil strife, I go to borrow soldiers from others, tomorrow when there is a great drought, I borrow a boat when there is a flood, I borrow a quilt when it is frozen, and I have nothing that I have not borrowed from head to toe to eat. Who will be treated with such a neighbor? Even the people of Yunxia felt that the Xiyue people would take advantage of others, which was not a good thing.
Fortunately, the old lady's trial did not continue, and Helian Rong hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief and followed Qinggu in a different direction.
The eldest lady Yan, although Helian Rong said to himself vigorously, "Don't be curious, don't be curious", but when serving tea, she couldn't help but look at the eldest lady a few more times. Yan is in her forties, and her figure is not as slender as a person of her age, and her slightly long face can still see the charm of the past, but the pearls and emeralds on her head make it difficult for others to focus on her face, and her expression is a little indifferent.
Helian Rong knelt down to serve tea, Yan still gave face, took the tea bowl and raised it, meaning to accept it, although he didn't even lift the lid of the tea bowl.
Then there is the second lady Hu Shi, that is, the biological mother of the second young master. Hu is about the same age as the eldest lady, with a white face, deep wrinkles between the eyebrows, it seems that he often looks sad, his clothes are very simple, and his body exudes a faint fragrance of sandalwood, which should be in constant contact with incense.
Because of the restrictions of her identity, although she is Helian Rong's "biological" mother-in-law, Yili Helian Rong can't kneel down, but only lightly blesses and offers fragrant tea. Hu Shi seemed even more nervous than Helian Rong, and without waiting for Helian Rong to speak, he took the tea bowl, stuffed a red envelope and said repeatedly: "Good, good." ”
Helian Rong relaxed a lot, and when he stood up straight, he caught a glimpse of Hu Shi looking at her all the time, and he was very relieved.
Helian Rong fell in love with this mother-in-law all of a sudden, and at the same time felt a little guilty in her heart, with such a good temperament, the second young master would definitely not be wrong, but she was entangled with the third young master yesterday, and such a messy relationship was really difficult to accept. But she thought again, it must have been her misunderstanding, or yesterday's one was not Wei Shaoyang at all, because whether it was Mrs. Wei or Mrs. Wei or Mrs. Wei sitting in the hall, although she didn't reach the point of being upright, she didn't look like a person who would "get used to" an indecent relationship, no matter how you look at it, it was also an orthodox feudal family, so the one yesterday must be an impostor, and he didn't dare to leave his real name to pretend to be the third young master, it must be like this!
Thinking about it like this, Helian Rong unloaded another burden in her heart, although she still had ambiguity with men, but at least she was less charged with messing around, which made her feel much better.
"This is the Third Lady."
Qinggu's voice made Helian Rong come back to his senses, and then he realized that the third lady didn't even have tea, so he just bowed, "Sanniang." ”
The third lady Yang is very young, at most in her early thirties, her appearance is not reduced, and she is the same type of beauty as the eldest lady......
Hey, hey! Helian Rong despised himself for a moment and turned his attention back to the eyes. The third lady Yang personally helped Helian Rong up, pulled her clothes and said with a smile: "It is said that Xiyue people are tall, look at it now, it is no different." The young grandmother also made a big coat, look at this one. ”
These words made Helian Rong a little unsure of how to answer, and Qinggu said on the side: "This is the eldest young grandmother's thoughtfulness, the clothes should be worn too big than small." ”
Yang hooked the corners of his mouth and sat down with a slight sneer, "That's the same reason." ”
Qinggu ignored the Yang family, and took Helian Rong to the lower right side of the old lady without raising her head and eyes, and introduced the woman in the first place: "This is the eldest young grandmother." ”
The eldest and youngest grandmother Wu is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and the phoenix eyes on the group face are also marked, but the eyebrows are slightly higher and bring out a bit of aggressiveness, and they are not so approachable.
Helian Rong put his hands on his waist and bent his knees slightly, just about to be blessed, but saw a girl behind Wu carrying a puff pad and placing it in front of Wu.
