Chapter 264: Jiao Mansion panics
The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, but the Lord Anping Weng, who came in later, broke the silence with a smile, and his voice was full of admiration: "My cousin is really good-looking-Man Xijing, I have never seen such a sign." ”
The old lady of Pingguo took Fang Hanniang's hand with a proud face, and said to the lord of Anping: "This is Qingqing's daughter, called Hanniang-Han'er, your eldest uncle and your third cousin have already met, and the one with a serious face who is similar to his old son is your eldest cousin." ”
The old lady of Pingguo is old, and she is a little gasping when she talks a lot, she pauses slightly, Fang Hanniang calmly took the old lady's words, and said with a smile: "Then I know, the beautiful sister next to me must be my eldest cousin." ”
The atmosphere was immediately lively, and several people greeted each other.
The old lady of Pingguo smiled and beckoned to the two children beside the lord of Anping: "Xiangxiang, Cuicui, come here, come to grandma's side." ”
Ruan Zhixuan obediently took her sister Ruan Zhiting, went to the old lady, was hugged by the old lady, and boasted: "Our family is so fragrant and green today." Ruan Zhixuan leaned on the old lady's arms, peeking at Fang Hanniang, and was caught by Fang Hanniang's gaze, her face flushed, and she was a little embarrassed to say: "Little aunt is so good-looking." ”
Ruan Zhiting was not to be left behind, followed behind her sister, lying in the arms of the old lady, and nodded desperately: "Little aunt is so good-looking." ”
Fang Hanniang was amused by the two sisters, took out two small purses from the tray held by Qiu Zhu in the back, and said with a generous smile: "This happened a little suddenly, I couldn't prepare a meeting gift for you for a while, so I 'borrowed' some from my grandmother, you take it to play first, and the little aunt will make up for you another day." ”
Fang Hanniang's down-and-out and frank and natural attitude won the favor of the lord of Anping Weng at once, she thought to herself: The father-in-law praised this sister-in-law for her good looks, but it is not a lie, looking at this appearance, if you don't know that she is living in the countryside, she will think that she is a lady raised in a powerful and wealthy family.
Ruan Zhixuan knew that this was the rule, and took her and her sister Ruan Zhiting's small purse from Fang Hanniang's hand, and she could feel that it probably contained some big pearls in it.
Ruan Zhixuan replied with a blessing salute in a proper manner: "Thank you, little aunt." ”
Ruan Zhiting slipped out of the arms of the old lady of Pingguo, and also followed her sister to give Fang Hanniang a blessing, and said in a milky voice: "Thank you, little aunt." ”
Fang Hanniang's heart is about to melt.
The old lady of Pingguo looked at the harmonious appearance of her beloved great-granddaughter and her granddaughter, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
Immediately after that, the second and third rooms came together.
Ruan Er's second master Ruan San's old man saw Fang Hanniang's appearance that looked like a young girl, and he couldn't help but be reminded of the memories in his heart, and his face was a little sad.
There are many people in this big family, and the introduction is very confusing.
Fortunately, Anping Weng hosted the center for many years, and it didn't take long to maintain the scene in an orderly manner.
The old and young masters of the third room sat at one table, the ladies of the third room sat at one table, and the two large round tables with black lacquer were all full.
The old lady of Pingguo looked at the appearance of her children and grandchildren around her knees in front of her, her eyes were moist, people live for a lifetime, and when they are old, what do they want, don't they just want to have a full house of children and grandchildren?
After recognizing each other, Mrs. An looked a little unable to sit still.
The old lady of Pingguo thought about Ruan Chubai, who had been infected with the wind and cold by the maid two days ago, sighed in her heart, and asked with concern: "Second child, how is Bai'er's body?" ”
When it comes to her frail son, even Mrs. An'er, who is so strong, can't help but burst into tears.
When she saw the appearance of the family reunion in front of her, she thought more and more of her hard-working son, who was still alone in the second room, lying alone on the bed.
She held back the tears in her heart and choked up: "Thank you for your concern, the doctor has come to see it in the past few days, and said that she has to take medicine for a few days...... On this happy day today, Bai'er couldn't come, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he asked his mother and Hanniang not to be surprised. ”
Fang Hanniang didn't expect that this matter could also be related to herself, she hurriedly said: "What about the second aunt, my cousin is sick, and he should recuperate." After a few days, my cousin will be better, and I will go over and visit him. ”
Fang Hanniang's words were extremely polite, but Second Mrs. An felt that it was appropriate to be like this, she didn't speak again, and only looked at the old lady with tears.
When the old lady saw such a festive day, everyone else was either happy or nostalgic, but the second lady An had to look sad, and she was a little unhappy in her heart. But no matter how you say it, the old lady still loves Ruan Chubai, the thinnest grandson, not to mention that the second Mrs. An gave birth to Ruan Chubai back then, which was similar to when she gave birth to Ruan Qingqing, and she gave birth to a child with all her might. Thinking of this, the old lady of Pingguo sighed in her heart and said, "Pity the parents of the world, go back and see Bai'er." ”
Second Mrs. An's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly saluted the old lady and hurried away.
Second Master Ruan looked at the back of An Shi leaving in a hurry, he didn't know what flashed in his eyes, he didn't speak, he took a sip of the wine glass.
Aside from this not-so-consonant episode, the dinner was relatively enjoyable.
After all, the people of the big family all practice eating and sleeping silently, except for the old lady who will ask Fang Hanniang from time to time, there is no other sound.
Fang Hanniang felt that the food was very pleasant, the dishes were exquisite, and the maids were very thoughtful, she just glanced at the braised prawns, and a maid next to her silently peeled one and put it on her plate.
It's just that there is one point, Fang Hanniang always feels that some people are quietly observing her at the table.
It's not like Ruan Zhixuan, Ruan Zhixuan doesn't look at her less, but even if she looks at Fang Hanniang, Ruan Zhixuan is looking at her with a bright red face, and her eyes are full of curiosity about this little aunt.
It's not like Ruan Zhiting, the little guy still needs to be fed by a nurse, and he eats this and that with a bright eye, not to mention her little aunt who came out halfway, even her own sister didn't get a few glances from her.
Fang Hanniang finally fixed her eyes quietly on Ruan Zhilan in the third room.
Speaking of which, Fang Hanniang's impression of Ruan Zhilan is not too deep.
Because she barely spoke much when they greeted each other, everyone greeted each other and passed.
Later, uncles, aunts, cousins, and sisters-in-law came to give Fang Hanniang a meeting gift one by one, and Fang Hanniang put Ruan Zhilan in the back of her mind, thinking that this was an introverted little niece who didn't like to talk much.
Fang Hanniang stared at Ruan Zhilan for a while, and finally caught Ruan Zhilan when she secretly raised her eyes to look at her again.
That's right, that's what it feels like.
Fang Hanniang wondered, when they looked at each other, she could obviously feel that this little girl's eyes were very bright, not like an introvert.
But after all, they just met, although they are relatives who are very close by blood, Fang Hanniang is still not too good, she only kept this strangeness in her heart and didn't say anything.
……
Fang Changgeng went to the capital since he beat his eldest daughter, and often couldn't sleep at night and couldn't sleep well.
The mother of the child is worried, her mother is not there, and the father is also extremely worried.
However, I often received letters from Fang Hanniang and Shopkeeper Gu, and Fang Changgeng finally became more and more relieved day by day.
Until one day, there was not much to do in the business bank, he stayed at home and teased Brother Lan with Jiao's family, and the servants outside ran in, their legs trembling, and their voices trembled: "Master, madam!" Outside, hundreds of soldiers came outside, hundreds of them! Say yes, say yes to see you! ”
Fang Changgeng chuckled in his heart, stood up from the chair suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be that Han Niang had an accident in the capital?" ”
He couldn't do it anxiously.
When Jiao Shi heard Fang Changgeng's speculation, he also chuckled in his heart, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but hug Brother Lan in his arms.
Fang Changgeng made up his mind, turned his head to Jiao's and said, "Madam, you quickly send someone to Meng Fuzi to call Zhiniang and Yanyan back, and you take the three children to hide!" If it's all right, I'll send someone to tell you. ”
Jiao Shi trembled and said, "What if, if something happens......"
Fang Changgeng trembled and pretended to be calm: "How could something happen?" ”
Jiao's face was as white as paper, she hugged Brother Lan more and more tightly, Brother Lan was born for a few months, and he didn't know anything, he flattened his mouth, and cried out.
Her son's cry seemed to break through the last line of defense of the Jiao family, she stuffed Brother Lan to the nurse who was already at a loss next to her, and whispered with a white face: "Nurse, your family has been with my Jiao family for generations, and it has been many years, I can trust you." You hug Brother Lan, and then call Zhiniang and Yanyan back, there is a mechanism in the third lagli under the bed in my bedroom, you press it, there will be a secret passage, you lead the child to hide in it......"
That's what happened after the telling!
The nurse's face turned white all of a sudden, she knew the weight of Jiao's entrustment, she gritted her teeth and blessed Jiao's body, and resolutely hugged Brother Lan and turned her head and walked to the backyard.
"You ......," Fang Changgeng said in a lost voice.
Jiao's face was white, but his face was full of firmness: "Brother Geng, I am your wife, so I naturally want to share the hardships with you." Don't say anything, let's go out and see what the hell is going on. ”
Fang Changgeng didn't speak for a long time, only grabbed Jiao's hand.
Tears slowly welled up in his eyes, moistening his eyes.
Hundreds of troops surrounded the mansion, not long ago, didn't it happen once?
They all knew the consequences of that time.
Fang Changgeng took a deep breath, led Jiao's family, and walked out of the door with his head held high.
……
The army outside is naturally the private soldiers of the Ruan family, led by Ruan Chuxiao, who came to Yuncheng to pick up Fang Zhiniang Fang Minghuai to Beijing.
It's just that the momentum is too huge and it has caused misunderstanding.
When Fang Changgeng and Jiao's subordinates opened the door, the first thing they saw was Shopkeeper Gu, Jasmine, and Father Peng.
Fang Changgeng's expression of generosity froze suddenly.
Jiao also froze.
The shopkeeper Gu was full of joy and shouted: "Master, let me tell you, our eldest lady has a great creation!" ”
Fang Changgeng was confused, but seeing the appearance of the shopkeeper Gu, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
His heart was relieved.
