Chapter 261: The Return Trip
Fang Hanniang saw Jasmine's apprehension, and she gave a soothing and kind smile, signaling her not to panic.
"I have something to hand over to you, too." Fang Hanniang said to Jasmine.
Jasmine's eyes lit up slightly: "Miss, even if you command!" ”
Those who are slaves and maids are not afraid of working too much, but they are afraid that the master will not give them work, so in this way, it will not be far from the master's disgust.
Fang Hanniang sighed in her heart, thinking that Jasmine probably panicked when she saw a maid cultivated by a top wealthy family like Qiuzhu, her tone couldn't help but be softer, wanting to calm Jasmine's restless emotions in her heart: "...... I can't leave Beijing this time, you are careful and proper, I have always reassured you. This time, I have to trouble you to go back with me, and help me take care of Zhiniang and Brother Huai along the way. ”
Jasmine suppressed the emotion in her heart, bowed slightly respectfully, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is serious, where can it be called trouble, it is the slave's duty - the slave will definitely take good care of the second lady and the third young master." ”
Fang Hanniang nodded.
Because his heart was very agitated, Daddy Peng, the shopkeeper of Jasmine Valley, packed up his things very quickly, although he said that he would only set off with the Ruan family army led by Ruan Chuxiao tomorrow, but now he has almost cleaned up.
Fang Hanniang sat in the inn for a while, and after a while, Qiu Zhu reminded her in a subtle and euphemistic whisper that the old lady was about to wake up from a nap.
Fang Hanniang bowed her head, got up and explained a few more words, preparing to go to the Pingguo Mansion, entertain her relatives in colorful clothes, and be a filial granddaughter.
Father Peng's face was worried, and he pulled Fang Hanniang aside, slurping and spitting, and stopped talking.
Fang Hanniang said patiently: "Daddy Peng, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Father Peng asked hesitantly: "Miss, can Lan Lan and her mother come together this time?" I know that Lan Lan's temperament is still a little jumpy, but I will control her well...... After all, Xijing is our homeland, and I, I want to bring her mother and daughter back to see. ”
That's what it was!
Fang Hanniang said with a smile: "Father Peng, don't worry, Mother Peng and Lan Lan can come with you." I bought a house in Xijing, and when you go back and forth to the capital, I think the house should be repaired. When the time comes, everyone will be placed. ”
Daddy Peng was overjoyed and kept saying "Thank you, Miss".
Fang Hanniang and Qiuzhu hurriedly went back.
The shopkeeper Gu sent people outside all the way, and saw Fang Hanniang and Qiuzhu get into the carriage and travel a long way, so they slowly returned to the inn.
Shopkeeper Gu couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, in the future, the life of the eldest lady will be completely different." ”
Father Peng couldn't help but nod his head and agreed: "I just looked at the carriage, the outside is very richly decorated, and even the family crest of the Pingguo Mansion is hung, the chassis is low and stable, I think it is specially for the old lady to travel...... It seems that the old lady of the Pingguo Mansion really likes our eldest lady. ”
Father Peng grew up in Xijing since he was a child, and the family crests of various prefectures are also skilled. You must know that the carriage is equipped with a family crest, which means that the master of the family travels, and everyone who knows each other will give way.
Jasmine folded her hands and prayed: "I hope the eldest lady will ...... well"
……
Before Fang Hanniang entered the Fuhui Hall, she heard the old lady losing her temper inside: "What about Han'er?" Why hasn't Han'er come back yet? ”
She quickened her pace, and when the maid guarding outside saw Fang Hanniang coming back, she smiled happily and hurriedly reported: "Old lady, Miss Biao is back." ”
"Let her in quickly, it's windy outside, what should I do if I catch a cold?" The old lady of Pingguo chattered, revealing a lot of joy and concern in her words.
There was a maid next to her who eagerly helped Fang Hanniang open the curtain, Fang Hanniang nodded slightly, then entered the room, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, I'm back." ”
The old lady of Pingguo was busy holding Fang Hanniang's hand. The old lady of Pingguo now feels that as long as she looks at this granddaughter, she is very satisfied.
The old lady couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and said to Fang Hanniang: "In the past, your aunts and sisters-in-law always like to come over from time to time to say goodbye, and I always feel that there is a little trouble when there are too many people. I just asked the maid to pass the word, I don't have to come here this afternoon, and I will hold a family banquet at home in the evening, and I will introduce you to the relatives at home. ”
Fang Hanniang nodded and said, "Grandmother still has to take care of her body, and it's not too late to wait for grandmother to get better." ”
The old lady waved her hand and touched Fang Hanniang's cheek lovingly: "My heart and liver are so good-looking, I can't wait to show off with them, old woman...... Han'er doesn't have to worry about my body, I know it in my heart, this body is very strong, and it will still be possible to hold on for a few more years to see you get married and have children. ”
Fang Hanniang's face was slightly red.
She couldn't help but think of Ji Jinxing, thinking that he couldn't say that he was accompanying that Miss Liu to see a doctor outside at the moment, and she couldn't stop feeling a pain in her heart all the way.
Fang Hanniang hurriedly lowered her head to prevent the old lady from seeing her expression.
The old lady was talking about Xingtou, but she didn't pay attention to Fang Hanniang's expression, and when she finished speaking, Fang Hanniang had already adjusted her mentality, and changed the topic to another place with a smile.
Fang Hanniang is already very eloquent, and she has the heart to accompany the old lady well, what she said can be described as a lotus flower, and the witty words are full of witty words, which makes the old lady laugh from time to time.
The maids guarding outside glanced at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.
It seems that this young lady who has just recognized the table really has the old lady's heart, and the old lady laughed more times today than in the previous days combined.
In the future, I will have to be more cautious and respectful to this young lady......
These shrewd maids all had small calculations in their hearts.
The old lady of Pingguo took Fang Hanniang's hand, looked at her carefully, and suddenly turned her head to the green warbler on the side and said, "...... Go and get out the dowry I put in cabinet B, and I'll get some jewelry for my family. ”
Lu Ying was shocked, but her face was not obvious, she responded with a smile, took the key and took a mother-in-law, and went to the warehouse to open the box.
Fang Hanniang knew that the elders could not give away, and jewelry was nothing to the old lady of Pingguo, but it was a way for her to express her love. Fang Hanniang happily agreed, and quipped: "Grandmother, as soon as I was recognized, I began to covet your jewelry, so that other sisters knew, and I couldn't say that I wanted to sip vinegar." ”
The old lady waved her hand heroically and said, "How can you have sisters of the same generation, your uncles who are not angry have not given birth to a granddaughter." Or your cousins are more angry, but the great-granddaughters have given birth to a few, I think they will come over tonight, and then your aunts and nephews can kiss each other. As soon as their makeup was born, I, who was a great grandmother, prepared it, and it was time to spank you. ”
The old lady said and spoke, touched her heart, and became sad again, she rubbed the back of Fang Hanniang's jade-like hand, and said sadly: "Because your mother has been weak since she was a child, she didn't dare to bring her those good jades and jade, for fear that she would not be able to suppress it at a young age." In those years, her father and several brothers desperately searched everywhere for the kind of inferior and good-looking jade jewelry for her. There are so many exquisite jewelry in the world, and she has never worn ......"
Fang Hanniang then remembered a thing, when her mother got married in the past, she carried some portable jewelry, the jade quality is really not good, and the jewelry behind her was asked by Fang Tian's family and given to Fang Xiangyu and Fang Ainiang.
"I remember your mother's favorite is a hairpin carved with lotus flowers, the hairpin head is poor, the jade quality is also turbid, but the victory is in the carving meticulous, your mother has always liked lotus, as soon as I saw the hairpin I liked it, always hairpin in the bun...... There is also a small jade lock, when your mother was just born, the imperial doctor said that your mother could not live, the jade lock was your grandfather step by step knocked to the Yuehua Temple outside the West City, and asked the master at that time, saying that it can be evil and not close, and demons will not invade. In the end, I will ensure that your mother will be fourteen years old......" The old lady muttered sadly, in her opinion, those jewels were lost when she was abducted. She also knew that her daughter had passed away, and now she just wanted to talk to her granddaughter about her daughter.
Fang Hanniang felt very uncomfortable when she heard these words, she patted the back of the old lady's hand comfortingly, and saw that the old lady fell into sadness silently, so she changed the topic: "...... Speaking of which, grandmother, I listen to you, it seems that I have become a cousin? …… Why don't my grandmother tell me about the family, lest I make any more jokes at dinner. ”
The old lady's eyes widened: "Who dares to laugh at you?" I'll beat him to death with a faucet cane! "He looks very protective of his calves. Even so, the old lady still talked to Fang Hanniang about the structure of the Ruan Mansion.
Now although the title of Duke of Pingguo has been inherited by Dafang, because of the relationship between the old lady, her three sons have not been separated, and they still live in the Duke of Pingguo.
Because of the military generals of the Pingguo Mansion, the men worked hard outside, and the women took care of the housework in the house, which was very hard, so the family motto was set a long time ago, and the man was still able to accept concubines if he was forty childless.
Also because of this family motto, many good families in Manxi Beijing have sharpened their heads and want to marry their daughters.
Dafang, that is, the current Pingguo Gong, has two sons-in-law. Ruan's eldest son, Ruan Chuyu, has already taken the throne of the prince of Pingguo, married Ji Mingyi, the lord of Anping Weng, and gave birth to two daughters and a son-in-law. The other son-in-law of Ping Guogong is naturally Ruan Chuxiao, the third son of Ruan, who has not yet married a wife when he is old, which makes the old lady very worried.
The second room, that is, the second son of the old lady of Pingguo, is married to the youngest daughter of a military general family who has grown up with childhood sweethearts since childhood. But due to an immediate wreck, An Yuanyue injured her body, and when she was in her thirties, she desperately gave birth to Ruan Chubai, the youngest fifth young master of the Pingguo Mansion, who is only thirteen years old.
Sanfang, that is, the third son of the old lady of Pingguo, married the daughter of the Ministry of Rites and the Lang family, Mo Shi, which is considered a civil and military marriage, the couple has two sons-in-law under their knees, one is the second in the young master, Ruan's second son, Ruan Chucheng, Ruan Chucheng and his daughter-in-law Qiu's have a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law under their knees, and the children are all made up of a good word. The other is Ruan Chuli, the fourth in the young master's line, who married his wife Li, has been married for three years, and has no children.
