Chapter 3 Dismounting
Early the next morning, the horse also woke up, and the third lady also woke up. Guan Ronghua is still obedient and obedient.
The group got into the carriage and walked all the way in the direction of Kyoto.
After passing the city gate, Guan Ronghua suddenly lifted the curtain and said, "Wow, Kyoto is so lively, third aunt, can I go down and buy something?" ”
The third lady kept in mind the instructions of the Duchess of Zhenguo, and tried her best to take Guan Ronghua back quietly, and it was best not to let the family know that there was an eldest lady in the Zhenguo Mansion.
"You have everything at home, what are you going to buy? I'll ask the maid to buy it for you. The third lady said perfunctorily.
"That's not good, what I want to buy, I must buy it myself, so that I can be sincere, otherwise my mother will be unhappy." Guan Ronghua insisted.
Mother? Is she trying to buy something to please her stepmother?
Since she was buying something to please the Duchess of Zhenguo, she should have allowed it.
"Okay, you go buy it, and let Grandma Li follow you." The third lady was a little motion sick, so tired that she didn't want to move, so she had to send her henchmen to follow.
Guan Ronghua still looked well-behaved and docile, nodded, and got out of the car with Grandma Li.
After a while, she returned, but her hands were empty.
The third lady wondered, "What about the things you bought?" ”
Guan Ronghua smiled coquettishly and said, "I'll let them send it to the Zhenguo Mansion." ”
The third lady did not think much of it, and told the coachman to continue on his way.
After entering Beijing, the carriage quickly returned to the Zhenguo Mansion.
The third lady and Guan Ronghua got out of the car, pulled Guan Ronghua into the house, and went directly to the main courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, I brought Ronghua back to you, I was so tired that I fell asleep last night, and I couldn't wake up no matter how I played, so I delayed for some time." The third lady said hurriedly.
The people in the house are Guan Ronghua's stepmother, Grandpa Guo's wife Liu.
She has good maintenance and exquisite makeup, looked at Guan Ronghua, smiled slightly, and said, "It's good to be back, but tired?" ”
Guan Ronghua's face was calm, and he said calmly: "The carriage in the house is very soft, and I don't feel tired." ”
Seeing that Guan Ronghua was beautiful and graceful, Liu was very shocked in his heart, and he was slightly jealous.
This cheap girl, she threw her to the village in the countryside and let her subordinates raise her, and she actually raised such a look! It's infuriating!
However, now that she took her back quietly, and then tricked her into giving up the marriage contract to Rong Yue, after that, she would find someone to set up a family affair and marry her far away.
No matter how good her looks and how good her bearing is, it will be a lifelong clay leg life!
"Since you're back, go to the courtyard to rest first, and when your father comes back, your mother will lead you to recognize the people in the family." Liu said perfunctorily.
However, Guan Ronghua did not nod, but lifted the hem of his skirt and knelt down with a pop.
"Ronghua has not returned to the house for fourteen years, and I want to worship my mother, but I hope that Mrs. will allow it." Guan Ronghua said sincerely.
Liu couldn't figure out what she was going to do, but she didn't want to spoil her image as a loving mother, so she hurriedly helped Guan Ronghua up, and said: "Get up, get up, your mother's tablet is in the ancestral hall, and every year there are sisters and brothers who give her incense and worship, if you want to go to worship, just go." ”
Guan Ronghua stood up with her hand, saluted again, and said, "Thank you, madam." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of gongs and drums beating outside the door, and the housekeeper of the house hurriedly rushed in and said, "Madam, ma'am!" There were a lot of people who gave the sacrifice outside, saying that it was ordered by our house! ”
Liu's face changed, and he scolded angrily: "Okay, what am I going to sacrifice for!" Is there a mistake! ”
"Madam, there is no mistake, I ordered the ceremony, I have not worshiped my mother for more than ten years, and I want to worship my mother solemnly. So on the way, I specially ordered whole pigs, three animals, candy and candied fruit, incense, candles, paper money, and they sent them to me at this time. Guan Ronghua said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, Liu's face instantly turned black to the bottom of the pot.
Okay, she ordered a sacrifice and sent it to the Guogong Mansion with great fanfare, isn't this a big fuss that everyone knows that the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion has not returned to the mansion for fourteen years?
This little slut was silent, and he actually put her along? Gave her a dismount!
"Madam, aren't you angry? Don't you want me to worship my mother? Guan Ronghua made a frightened appearance.
If she doesn't allow it, let this little girl return these sacrifices? Then I'm afraid that her name as a jealous woman will spread all over the capital tomorrow! Competing with a dead man?
Although Liu's heart trembled with anger, he still swallowed this breath hard, squeezed out an ugly smile, and said, "How come? Worship your mother, that's right, and bring it out quickly. “
Guan Ronghua still looked cautious and obedient, and said politely: "Thank you, madam." ”
After that, she asked her subordinates to bring in the ceremony, and then worshiped her mother, the first wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, in the ancestral hall.
The movement was too loud, and the rest of Zhen Guogong was also alarmed.
When the prince of Zhenguo came back from the next dynasty, he heard the discussion of the subordinates, and he also came to the ancestral hall.
When he looked from afar, he saw a beautiful and refined girl kneeling down with tears streaming down her face, and said in a clear voice: "Mother, my daughter is not filial, and it has been more than ten years before I came to worship you." ”
Such a scene is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.
Coupled with Guan Ronghua's appearance like the first wife, it suddenly made Zhenguogong's face hot and guilty.
Mrs. Liu, who has been standing in the ancestral hall, has been a husband and wife for many years, and when she saw Grandpa Guo's expression, she secretly screamed in her heart.
If Grandpa Guo is moved by compassion for this cheap girl, I am afraid that he will not agree to change the marriage to Rong Yue!
"Grandpa Guo, are you back? This is Ronghua, she herself ordered a sacrifice to worship Mrs. Xian, if her sister has a spirit in the sky, knowing that Ronghua is so filial, she will definitely feel gratified. Although this child has a bad life, it is a pity that he is so sensible. She took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhen Guogong's arm, and praised.
Zhen Guogong's originally somewhat moved expression instantly sank.
Yes, Guan Ronghua's life is not good, when she was in the house, she not only killed her mother, but also caused him to have a bad official career, went to prison, and finally sent her away, and the Zhenguo Mansion gradually got on the right path.
Zhen Guogong's original guilt disappeared in an instant, took a few steps forward, and said: "Ronghua, since you are back, after paying homage to your mother, go to the study to see me, my father has something to tell you." ”
Guan Ronghua nodded and responded, "Okay, Dad." ”
She's a hard-hearted father, but she's really anxious!
Can't wait to send Guan Rongyue to Prince Jing's mansion? She wouldn't let them get their wish!
What the Zhenguo Mansion owes her, what she owes her mother, she wants to claim it back one by one!!
