Chapter 528: A Family Reunion
Speaking of which, this year, since beating his eldest daughter Fang Hanniang into Beijing, the news he received has become more and more terrifying.
His wife suddenly became the abducted Miss Hou Mansion in the capital.
At that time, Fang Changgeng also digested it for a long time before accepting the news.
As a result, it didn't take long to digest the news, and he sent a pair of children to Beijing nervously, and he was still arranging business in Yuncheng, preparing to go to Beijing when the snow stopped after the New Year, and in any case, he had to meet the family of his wife who died early...... However, before he could go to Beijing, another piece of news in Beijing knocked their whole family unconscious.
Fang Hanniang is about to marry the eleventh prince of the current saint and become the princess of the Darong Dynasty.
O princess......
When he first received the letter from Kyori, he could hardly believe that it was true if it wasn't for the handwriting of his eldest daughter.
It was still Jiao's stability at this time, she resolutely used her dowry to buy a very reasonable dowry for Fang Hanniang, and sent it to Beijing one step ahead of them.
Fang Changgeng was very grateful for Jiao's generosity, and the relationship between the husband and wife became better and better.
And Fang Changgeng gradually settled down, and quickly delivered the business in Cloud City with his shopkeepers, and when the weather was a little warmer, he was a little apprehensive and a little expectant, and took Jiao's family, Jiao Yanrong, and Jiao Minglan to Beijing together.
Because Jiao Minglan was still in infancy, the road could not withstand bumps, and the carriage walked very slowly, and by the time their carriage entered Beijing, the branches and shoots had already been drawn.
When Fang Hanniang came to Beijing for the first time, she brought the shopkeeper to explore the way for the Jiao family's business, and more than half a year has passed, and the Jiao family's business has slowly gained a foothold in Beijing. Fang Changgeng and his entourage came to the capital, and went straight to the shop in the capital.
The shopkeeper of the Jiao family had already received the news that Fang Changgeng and they were coming to Beijing, and had already prepared the courtyard according to the instructions of the owner.
This small courtyard is not far from the shop, and it is separated by a small alley, deep and quiet. There was a plane tree in the house, Jiao Yanrong curiously tried to call the maid to hug the trunk, and the two little girls held hands just enough to surround it.
Jiao Yanrong excitedly pointed to the plane tree, and chatted with Fang Changgeng: "Dad, when the time comes, you can help me make a swing here...... Put a stone table for me there and set up a few stone piers. ”
Fang Changgeng's face was full of doting, and he couldn't stop nodding.
Jiao Shi stood under the eaves with Jiao Minglan in his arms, and watched the father and daughter talking in the courtyard with a smile.
The stepdaughter suddenly became a princess, and she was not without apprehensions.
But thinking of his stepdaughter's consistent behavior, Jiao reluctantly suppressed that worried heart.
Although she doesn't spend a lot of time with her stepdaughter, Jiao can see that Fang Hanniang is if you bully her, she will definitely not swallow her anger and let you bully her, and she will slap her face back; But as long as you treat her well, she will naturally treat you well.
Even though she flew up to the branch and became a phoenix all of a sudden, Jiao believed that as long as she treated each other with sincerity, Fang Hanniang would treat them well.
Jiao Shi looked at Jiao Yanrong lovingly, and then lowered his head and kissed Jiao Minglan's chubby little face.
After Fang Changgeng and Jiao's two children settled down, Fang Changgeng sent someone to the Pingguo Mansion to hand over the post to Fang Hanniang.
After handing over the post, Fang Changgeng was still very worried, and Tongjiao was a little worried: "I don't know if it will cause trouble to the three children." ”
The Jiao family was also a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, although the Jiao family's parents were also from the side branches of the big clan, the big clan in Yuncheng and the Gaomen clan in Xijing could be said to be far away. The Jiao family was really worried that there were too many rules of the Gaomen clan in Xijing, so they handed over the post so rashly, and they didn't know if they would make any evasions.
The adults were very apprehensive, but the two children did not have such apprehension at all.
Jiao Yanrong teased the fat brother who was wearing a red belly pocket and holding his feet in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the two of them were giggling and laughing.
After handing over the post, Fang Changgeng sat at the table, and looked at the door from time to time to see if anyone came to talk back. Jiao's is slightly better than Fang Changgeng, but it is not much better, sitting on the low bed of the Winter Nuan Pavilion with some restlessness embroidering a big red pocket for his youngest son Brother Lan.
Jiao Yanrong and Brother Lan were laughing there carefree.
Fang Changgeng couldn't hold his breath and stood up: "No, I'll go to the gatehouse again to see, don't anything go wrong......
Hearing this, Jiao Shi got up nervously: "Probably not." ”
As soon as the words fell, the maid came from outside with a happy face: "Madam, master, eldest lady, second lady and third young master, are all back!" This is the way in! ”
At first hearing the news, Fang Changgeng was overjoyed and excited: "Why did you come back?" No, didn't we hand over a post saying we were going to visit? ”
Jiao's heart was put in his stomach, and the three children didn't forget their father at first glance, no, they came together!
Jiao Yanrong slapped her face and jumped up: "I'll go and see if the eldest sister and second sister have brought gifts!" ”
Jiao Shi hurriedly worked with the maid to put on the clothes of Brother Lan, who had fat arms and legs swinging around, and wrapped a small cloak. Jiao Shi kissed Brother Lan heavily on the face: "Let's go pick up your brother and sister!" ”
Brother Lan was less than a year old, and he couldn't understand what the adults were saying, but when he saw that the faces of the people close to him were full of smiles, they also laughed along with the dancing hands.
The family was busy walking outside.
Just as Fang Hanniang's carriage entered the second gate, Fang Minghuai jumped out of the carriage first, and saw Fang Changgeng and others who were hurrying over here at a glance.
Fang Minghuai's eyes lit up, his little face was full of excitement, he took three steps and made two steps, and shouted: "Dad!" ”
As soon as Fang Changgeng saw his son, he was also excited, and the seven-foot man almost had a sour nose and tears flowed down.
I haven't seen my son for more than half a year, and my son has grown a lot taller and his appearance has also grown.
Fang Hanniang and Fang Zhiniang got out of the carriage together, the girls always had to be reserved, the two of them held hands, shouted "Dad" crisply, and greeted Jiao Shi and Jiao Yanrong with a smile.
As soon as Fang Changgeng saw that his children were very good, his heart hanging in the air finally let go of Taiban. He couldn't hide his excitement, and only nodded vigorously: "Good, good!" ”
Jiao's family hasn't seen Fang Hanniang for more than half a year, and when he saw Fang Hanniang's appearance growing a little more, the youthfulness of a young girl faded between her eyebrows and eyes, and she became more and more captivated, and then looked at Fang Zhiniang, which was also more and more beautiful. She admired in her heart and said with emotion: "These children, most of the year's hard work, have grown up a lot, and they are very good-looking." ”
Jiao Yanrong looked at her brothers and sisters with a small face, but she hadn't seen her for more than half a year, and Jiao Yanrong, who had always been in a hurry, actually had a little bit of homesickness, seeing that her father and mother were there to greet Fang Hanniang and them, and Jiao Yanrong, who had been clamoring to see her brothers and sisters, was unexpectedly twisted.
Fang Hanniang was more careful, and found the abnormality of her little sister, she followed behind Jiao a little awkwardly, and her eyes clearly said that she wanted to be close to them, but she just hid there.
Fang Hanniang couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong with Yan Yan today?" Changed your sex? Your second sister picked out a lot of things for you before she came over today, they look good, don't you want them? ”
Fang Hanniang took the initiative to talk to Jiao Yanrong, and Jiao Yanrong immediately rushed over happily and shouted, "Where is the gift that the second sister gave me?" Where is it? ”
"Yan Yan." Jiao shouted, but he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Everyone had a smile on their faces, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.
Fang Zhiniang pulled Jiao Yanrong and said softly: "Yanyan, when you enter the house in a while, you will see it, it's all yours." ”
Brother Lan lay on his mother's shoulder, he is not afraid of life, look at this, look at that, "ahhh
Fang Hanniang was attracted by Brother Lan'er's attention: "Brother Lan is so old. She sighed with emotion, stretched out her arm towards Brother Lan, and clapped her hands, "Come, Brother Lan, do you still know the eldest sister?" Let the eldest sister hug. ”
When Fang Hanniang left home, Brother Lan was just a little person, and now she has grown into a big fat doll, this feeling is very novel, and it also makes Fang Hanniang excited.
As long as she thought that she was about to marry Ji Jinxing, and in the future, she would give birth to such a little bean with Ji Jinxing, and the tenderness in her heart was almost overflowing.
Brother Lan is not afraid of life, although he doesn't know Fang Hanniang, but he can't stand Fang Hanniang's birth is too beautiful, children naturally like beautiful things, almost as soon as Fang Hanniang stretched out his hand to him, he opened his little arms, looking like Fang Hanniang hugged him.
Jiao knew that Fang Hanniang was a very good person, and he was not afraid that she would fall Brother Lan, but he still hesitated to mention: "This little fat man is very heavy, you should be careful of your arms." ”
"Well, Aunt Jiao, I see." Fang Hanniang replied with a smile.
The family walked happily into the house.
Brother Huai has always been the youngest child in the family, and after Brother Lan was born, Brother Huai was the most excited one - he finally became an older brother.
This time he also prepared a lot of things for Brother Huai'er, after entering the house, the table was full of things that Fang Zhiniang picked for Jiao Yanrong, and the bed was full of things that Fang Minghuai picked for Brother Lan, from small wooden horses to rattles and small puppets.
The things for Jiao's and Fang Changgeng were picked by Fang Hanniang, and they were all rare things that were not available in Cloud City and were in Beijing.
In addition, there are some that the old lady has to bring over to Fang Hanniang.
“…… My grandmother heard that my father and Aunt Jiao were coming, so I had to open a private warehouse and asked me to bring some things for my father, Aunt Jiao, and my younger siblings. Fang Hanniang explained with a smile.
Because there were too many things, Fang Hanniang directly asked Jiao's for a maid, and asked her to follow Qiuzhu to the carriage behind to count the things, and went directly to the warehouse.
Fang Changgeng couldn't help but be a little frightened: "Let your grandmother bother, I originally handed over the post and wanted to visit." Your grandmother brought so many things before she even came to the door...... It's really ......"
