Chapter 223
Mao Yanqiu's family came, and naturally the spiritual subordinates went to the inner courtyard to report the news early.
After Wei's and Nannan's emotions gradually stabilized, Lin Wenbo stepped forward to invite Mao Yanqiu's family into the house.
Mao Yanqiu and his wife came to Zhennanhou Mansion on this trip, firstly to welcome Nannan Nanhou home, and secondly, to thank the old Zhennanhou and his wife for rescuing Nannan and saving Nannan from being beaten by the traffickers.
Mao Yanqiu and his wife were invited into the flower hall of Zhenghe Hall, and Lin Xiuwu and Cai, who got the news, were already waiting here.
The Mao couple entered the flower hall without saying a word, and took a son and a daughter to kowtow respectfully to the old Zhennanhou and his wife, thanking the two for their help for help.
Lin Xiuwu and Cai's were not polite, and accepted the salute happily, which made people help the two of them and the children to get up and sit down as guests.
As early as when he learned the news of Lin Wan's arrival in Beijing, Wei had the heart to come to Zhennanhou's Mansion to see Lin Wan, but Mao Yanqiu ordered Chang Sui to send a message to his family before he hurriedly left Beijing on an errand, and specially told Wei to wait for him to return to Beijing before going to Zhennanhou's Mansion together, so he endured not going to the door of Zhennanhou's Mansion, and he didn't know how many times he complained about Mao Yanqiu in his heart.
Mao Yanqiu only returned to the capital yesterday evening.
This time, Mao Yanqiu led a team of brocade guards, and after difficult squatting, investigation and cocooning in Zhengzhou City, he finally destroyed a trafficking group specializing in abducting and selling young children, and successfully rescued more than a dozen abducted children, including the little prince of a certain county palace.
Because of the blow of Nannan's disappearance, Wei's spirit had problems, so Mao Yanqiu was not at ease, so he kept hiding the news that Wei's found Nannan, and asked Nannan to follow Lin Wan temporarily.
It wasn't until yesterday that he returned home from an errand in the palace and revealed the news of Nannan to Wei's little by little.
Although Mao Yanqiu repeatedly promised that it was indeed their daughter who was rescued by Lao Zhen Nanhou and his wife, before he saw Nannan, Wei was still very worried about whether it would be another empty joy.
This night was particularly difficult for Weis, who had hardly closed his eyes all night, worrying about this and that.
As soon as the sky was bright, he urged Mao Yanqiu to rush to Zhennanhou Mansion.
Although the Mao family also lives in Dongcheng, there is some distance from Zhennanhou's Mansion, and it took almost half an hour from Mao's family to Zhennanhou's Mansion even if the road is smooth.
Zhenghetang is mostly female dependents here, so Mao Yanqiu didn't sit in the flower hall for long, so he went to the big study in the front yard with Lin Xiuwu and Lin Wenbo to talk, and he did have something to tell Lin Xiuwu and Lin Wenbo.
Wei's mother and son were naturally left in Zhenghetang to talk to Cai.
At this time, the Wei family finally had time to take a look at Lin Wan, who had not seen him for half a year, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Previously, some news about Lin Wan reached Wei's ears, but Wei always felt that those news were wrong, but when I saw it today, I found that all the news seemed to be true!
Lin Wan is indeed injured, Luo's family, who has only been back with Lin Wenbo from Jizhou for half a year, happened to leave for Jizhou today, even if Wei was sluggish, he could guess one, two, three, and looked at Lin Wan's eyes with more pity and chagrin.
knew that the Luo family didn't want to see Lin Wan so much, it was better to let Lin Wan stay in the Ye family, although the life of the Ye family was not as rich as Zhennan's mansion, but the Ye family really loved Lin Wan.
Because he had an extra word at Cai's birthday banquet, he made Lin Wan a child who was not treated by his biological mother in the deep inner courtyard of the Hou Gate, and Wei felt worried about Lin Wan no matter how he thought about it.
Wei really wanted to say a few words for Lin Wan, but Wei knew in his heart that even though she and Mao Yanqiu were Lin Wan's stepmother and father, after Lin Wan returned to Zhennanhou Mansion, she had basically lost the right to directly meddle in Lin Wan's life.
Even if Mao Yanqiu is a celebrity in front of the current saint, he is far from being able to compete with the Zhennan Hou Mansion.
But if Wei didn't say anything or do anything, Wei felt too sorry for Lin Wan.
Wei thought about it again and again, and decided to avoid the person Luo, and even avoid Lin Wan's injuries, and only talked about the rare fate between him and Lin Wan, hoping to strive for some benefits for Lin Wan to Zhennanhou Mansion as much as possible, at least to let the people of Zhennanhou Mansion know that even if Lin Wan is not treated by her mother, she is still loved by her stepmother.
"I wanted to come to see Wanwan for a long time, but my husband sent a message home when he went out of Beijing on a business, and explained that he must wait for him to return to Beijing before coming to see Wanwan together, I thought that my husband just didn't want me to come early to disturb the reunion of your mansion, but I didn't expect such a big surprise.
Thanks to the old lady who rescued the girl, otherwise my family would not know how much of a crime she would have suffered! Wei's starting point started from Nannan, and when he said this, he remembered the suffering of all kinds of hardships he had suffered for Nannan in the past few years, and his eyes couldn't help but sour and tears welled up in his eyes.
Wei knew that he was out of shape, took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes, and then smiled apologetically at Cai: "Every time I think of Nannan, the concubine will inevitably lose her posture, which makes the old lady smile." ”
The pain of the disappearance of relatives, Cai empathized, how could he laugh at Wei's gaffe, reached out and took Wei's hand and patted it: "Speaking of the old body, he also has a similar experience, although Wanwan is only the granddaughter of the old body, but she is a child raised by the old body. ”
The two gradually spread out the conversation, and Wei gradually led the topic to the experience of going to Qingzhou Mansion to recognize relatives, and then looked at Lin Wan and said: "Wanwan really has a relationship with my family, no, but she brought her back in half a year!" ”
How could someone as shrewd as Cai not hear Wei's words.
In Cai's heart, as long as she is good to Lin Wan, she is willing to give it to Lin Wan, so she took Wei's words with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, it wasn't until she got into the carriage back to Beijing that day that Wanwan told the old body that Nan Nan was the pearl of Lord Mao's palm." At that time, when I heard it, I felt that this was fate, although they were not compatriots, they were better than compatriots. In the future, let Wanwan and Nan Nan be sisters and move around more closely. ”
The two of you, you have a heart, I have intentions, and I quickly finalized the decision to hold a banquet for Lin Wan after the Dragon Boat Festival, which is not only the official appearance of Lin Wan in the capital after her return, but also the recognition ceremony that Mao Yanqiu and Wei did not hold when they recognized Lin Wan as their goddaughter.
"It was set on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and it happened that the school was resting in the capital of Yandu, and I went to Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs to hold a lotus banquet. There is a lotus pond of more than ten acres in Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs of the house, which is the season when the lotus is in full bloom, and it is suitable for the scene! Cai simply set the time and place.
The Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs is Cai's wedding Zhuangzi, and the lotus flowers bloom very well every year, and the Cai family used to hold a lotus appreciation banquet there every year, but since Lin Wan disappeared three years ago, it has never been open to the public, and even Cai's has never been to Zhuangzi again.
Now that Lin Wan has returned safely, this lotus feast will naturally be held again.
