After Fang Changgeng and Jiao's cleaned up in Shaohua Mansion, the matter of going to Pingguo Mansion to meet the old lady of Pingguo was put on the agenda.

Speaking of this, Fang Changgeng was a little apprehensive.

In fact, Jiao's was even more worried than Fang Changgeng.

Because Jiao's identity is more complicated than Fang Changgeng's.

Fang Changgeng can be said to be the son-in-law of the Pingguo Mansion, so what about her?

The son-in-law of the Pingguo Mansion has joined her Jiao family, how should this relationship be calculated?

However, Jiao Shi couldn't show this anxiety on his face, even if the handkerchief she was holding under her sleeve was stirred up by her, she still had to smile on her face.

At the moment, in Shaohua Mansion, the least nervous ones are Jiao Minglan and Jiao Yanrong.

Jiao Minglan is still a big fat boy who just crawls everywhere, grinning at people every day with a toothless mouth, looking at you with a pair of big eyes, stretching out his hand to hug him, which makes people's hearts happy.

Jiao Yanrong, on the other hand, didn't regard going to the Pingguo Mansion as a nervous thing at all.

Her biggest distress is that the second sister Fang Zhiniang gave her a lot of beautiful jewelry, which skirt should this hairpin go with, and what bracelet should it go with?

The biggest distress of a little girl who loves beauty is always jewelry and skirts.

In the past few days, Fang Hanniang's sister and brother have also lived in Shaohua Mansion for a few days.

It's just that before three or five days have passed, the green warbler represents the Pingguo Mansion and brings a few carriages of Lily to Shaohua Mansion.

Lu Ying smiled and saluted Fang Changgeng and Jiao's first: "Greet the old lady." Our old lady has been thinking about the two of them, and today she has sent a slave and maid over to see if there is anything missing here, and if there is anything that needs help. ”

Fang Changgeng and Jiao's were a little flattered, and waved their hands again and again: "Where do you dare to bother the old lady." ”

It stands to reason that the green warbler came over like this, which is a matter of the back house, and it is enough for the Jiao family to come out. However, Fang Changgeng has always been extremely cautious about the affairs of the Pingguo Mansion, and he really can't stay in the outer courtyard.

Besides, the green warbler came over, not on behalf of her personally, but on behalf of the old lady of Pingguo.

In order to show his attention, Fang Changgeng came over like this, which can be regarded as extremely important.

Fang Hanniang and the others hadn't seen the green warbler for a few days, and they shouted "Sister Green Warbler" with a smile.

Jiao Yanrong saw the green warbler for the first time, and when she saw the green warbler so down-to-earth and generous, whether it was her demeanor or etiquette, she was almost impeccable. I don't know how to know that this is just a maid, and I thought it was a daughter from a big family!

Jiao Yanrong honestly sat under Jiao's hand, looking at the green warbler curiously and rudely.

Lu Ying smiled at Jiao Yanrong and made a blessing: "This is Miss Jiao, she was really innocent and cute." ”

Jiao Yanrong's face turned red all of a sudden.

No matter how nervous Jiao Shi was, when he heard that the big maid beside the old lady Lu Ying also praised her daughter like this, a sense of pride suddenly arose in his heart.

She smiled a little briskly: "Miss Green Oriole has said it, this is a naughty mischievous person all day long. ”

Having said that, the pampering meaning in the words is clearly visible.

"Mother!" Jiao Yanrong was embarrassed, twisted her body uneasily, and rubbed around Jiao's side like twisted candy.

There was a good-natured laugh.

In order to show the importance of the green warbler, Jiao's special person gave a brocade stool.

However, the green warbler is a humble one, and after she pushed a few times, she only sat halfway through.

"How is my grandmother these days?" Fang Hanniang asked.

When the green warbler heard this, she smiled: "Don't worry, cousin, the old lady is fine." It's just three times a day to ask the slave maid, why haven't the three cousins and young masters come back? I don't know if I'm used to living outside? …… The slave's ears are calloused. ”

In fact, when she came over today, it was also the old lady of Pingguo who couldn't help it, and went to choose the festival in person.

Even people like Lu Ying, who are quick with hands and feet, were urged several times by the old lady of Pingguo when they set off.

Lu Ying felt that if it weren't for the old lady coming in person, it would be rude, and I was afraid that the old lady would have to take a carriage to see her granddaughter in her heart.

Fang Hanniang's sisters and brothers are very moved, they have been living in the Pingguo Mansion these days, and the Pingguo Mansion has treated them very well from top to bottom, and they really regard the Pingguo Mansion as their own home.

Fang Hanniang glanced at Fang Changgeng and hesitated.

In private, she felt that it was more important to accompany Mrs. Pingguo.

After all, the old lady is old, and her daughter was abducted more than ten years ago, which left her with a heavy psychological trauma. The green warbler whispered to her that even a few years ago, the old lady often woke up in her sleep, crying and calling her daughter's name.

That is, after Fang Hanniang and the others came, the old lady slept better, ate well, her face was ruddy, and the whole person looked much better than before.

Although Fang Changgeng is also their relative, Fang Changgeng is accompanied by Jiao's family, Jiao Yanrong, and Jiao Minglan at the moment, and the most important thing is that their days will be very long in the future, and they will have more time to get together. In contrast, the old lady of Pingguo in her old age is more worthy of their company.

Fang Changgeng probably understood his daughter's struggle, and he was also very pleased that his daughter was so filial to the old lady of Pingguo.

Although it was not Fang Changgeng who caused Ruan Qingqing to be abducted and trafficked, Fang Changgeng felt from the bottom of his heart that he was sorry for the old lady of Pingguo.

His deceased wife, who was originally a golden and noble eldest lady raised in the boudoir, married him, a reckless man in the mountains, without a choice, and even died young.

This made Fang Changgeng feel very ashamed of the old lady of Pingguo.

Fang Changgeng hurriedly said: "Right now, this side can be regarded as tidying up, those of us who are juniors should have gone to visit the old lady, who would have thought that the old lady would rush first, it is really ashamed...... Han Niang, you should also go to the old lady's knees to do your filial piety earlier. ”

Fang Hanniang saw that Fang Changgeng's words came from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't speculate and nodded yes.

Fang Changgeng said sincerely to the green warbler: "Miss Green Ying, please go back and help me bring a message to the old lady with the cheap one, if the old lady has time these days, I should bring the cheap one to visit." ”

Green Ying smiled: "It's also a coincidence, the old lady is free these days." ”

Fang Changgeng heard the meaning outside the string, and immediately said: "Then tomorrow, I will come to visit with the." ”

Jiao's nervous face stiffened a little.

Fang Hanniang thought for a while and said, "Then let's go back together tomorrow." ”

The green warbler went back to the old lady with the news.

As soon as the green warbler left, Jiao's was busy in the house, and she took out several sets of new clothes that Fang had put away, and kept asking Fang Hanniang and Fang Zhiniang for their opinions: "Is this kind of trick okay in Beijing?" Will it be outdated? Won't it look rustic? ”

I was very nervous at first glance.

Fang Hanniang didn't mean to make fun of it, and stepped forward very seriously to help Jiao's choose a light purple orchid embroidered printed jacket, and said: "This one just sets off Aunt Jiao's temperament, and it also looks young and good-looking." She paused, and then said seriously, "Aunt Jiao, don't worry, my grandmother is a very peaceful and kind old man, and she won't be embarrassed by you." ”

Jiao Shi was stunned, and his eyebrows were slightly stunned.

She lowered her head a little disguised, and said embarrassedly, "I know...... I am...... I don't know how to face the old lady and other distinguished people. ”

Fang Hanniang knew that no matter how much she said about this kind of knot, it would not help.

Anyway, when Jiao Shi saw the old lady of Pingguo tomorrow, he knew that her current worries were meaningless.

Early in the morning of the second day, Jiao's got up early, and then sent a confidant to wake Jiao Yanrong up and tell her not to sleep too late.

Until he got into the carriage, Jiao was still a little nervous and asked his henchman: "My makeup, it looks fine, right?" ”

Before the maid could reply, Jiao Yanrong sat in the carriage and yawned, urging her mother to hurry up and get in the car: "No problem, mother, you look so good, come up quickly, Brother Lan is going to be bored to death." ”

Jiao Minglan was spitting bubbles in the nurse's arms.

He heard Brother Lan's three words, "Ahhhh

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Fang Hanniang's sister and brother sat in another carriage, because Peng's father went to move the grave of Peng's mother Peng Lanlan, and they haven't come back yet, and it is the coachman next to the Pingguo Mansion who is driving them now.

Fang Changgeng rode a horse in front.

He didn't know how to ride a horse, but he learned it after joining the Jiao family.

The distance between the Pingguo Mansion and the Shaohua Mansion is not too far, and the carriage will arrive in half an hour.

When Fang Changgeng turned over and dismounted, he looked at the magnificent vermilion lacquer gate of the Pingguo Mansion, and his heart couldn't help but tremble again.

He couldn't help but think of the humble yard of his house......

When I was a girl who died of my wife, I grew up in this environment, and after marrying him, I had to live in such a bad room.

Even, Fang Changgeng had already heard Fang Hanniang mention that Fang Tian's family had made trouble with the old Fang Tou, and he was even sentenced to exile for killing a person by lending usury.

Although he had long been cold to his father, it was his father and mother after all, and he asked someone to send a lot of silver to help them, at least on the way to exile, it would make them easier.

Fang Changgeng sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't dare to mention this matter to his wife, he could see that Jiao's was already very uneasy, and there was no need to tell her this at this juncture, which only increased her panic.

However, what should be faced will have to be faced sooner or later.

Fang Changgeng took a deep breath.

He is the pillar of the family, and he will support the family.

Fang Changgeng hugged Jiao Yanrong off the carriage, helped Jiao Shi down, and whispered in Jiao's ear: "Don't be afraid, everything has me." ”

Jiao nodded slowly.

Fang Hanniang's sister and brother also jumped out of the carriage behind.
