Chapter 354: Arriving at the General's Mansion
It is worthy of the Shuo Palace, and he will not buy it for a mere tael of silver.
"I don't like these clothes, Mama, if I wear this pink, it does fit the dress of a young girl, but after all, I am the princess, how can a married woman wear the style of clothes when she was not out of the cabinet? This is not a slap in the face. As for this purple dress, my mother, Mrs. General Chen, she loves this color the most, and she also wears this color on weekdays, so wouldn't it be very embarrassing for our mother and daughter to meet one day. Besides, this green skirt, like a girl in the willows in Fireworks Lane, wearing it like this, will lose the face of the General's Mansion and the Palace, the color of this lotus is still dignified and beautiful, but the style, if I am not mistaken, I am afraid that it is the old style of the previous few years, and the aesthetics of our palace will not be so backward, I see that the style of the clothes worn by the grandmother is quite novel, and if the vision of the grandmother can't keep up with the trend, then I still brought a grandmother who knows how to dress up from the General Chen's mansion. ”
Duran didn't show the mountain dew, and pierced the old mother's mind in a few words, the old mother lowered her head in panic and didn't dare to look at her, her heart was already turbulent, she didn't expect a woman from the countryside to be so picky.
It seems that she doesn't serve the princess well, and she definitely won't have good fruit to eat.
She gathered her mind, raised her eyes and looked fiercely at the maids who showed their clothes, and scolded angrily: "How did you choose clothes for the princess? These clothes were all taken down, and a few noble and elegant ones were selected for the princess. ”
A maid pouted: "Mama, these ......"
"Talkative, don't go soon."
"Yes."
"Wait, this princess likes red, the style should be the latest, if the palace doesn't have it, this will make people go to the street to buy it." As he spoke, Duran took out another stack of silver tickets and handed them to his mother.
The old mother was stunned, pinching this large amount of silver tickets, and her heart turned a thousand times, the princess of this world was so generous, and it was thousands of taels of silver when she came out, just to buy a new dress.
This is changed to the princesses in other palaces, I am afraid that I have to think about it, but the princesses of her family do not raise their eyebrows.
Du Lan knew that this one was going to stop the old mother, and she smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Mama, the princess of this world will not squander every penny in the palace, and all this money is earned by the princess of this world by trading." ”
"Ahh The old mother suddenly came back to her senses, she only thought about making things difficult for the princess, and almost forgot that the princess did her own sauce business, for which she was also named the deputy envoy of the Salt and Iron Division by the emperor.
How dare the old mother accept the princess's silver, and hurriedly raised the silver ticket in front of Du Lan with a red face: "The princess, this is absolutely unacceptable, the prince has prepared all kinds of clothes for you in advance, and it is to blame that these maids will not choose, so the old slave will explain carefully." ”
Duran calmly withdrew the silver ticket, "Then there will be Mama Lao." ”
"You bring all the clothes to the princess to choose." The old mother sternly admonished.
"Yes."
An hour later, Duran was dressed up, she was wearing a red embroidered skirt, and she was dignified and glamorous at the moment.
Gu Youan discussed some things with Chen Jingting and came back, and when he saw the radiant lady in front of him, he was immediately dumbfounded.
"Lord Shizi, are you back?" Duran smiled charmingly, and his eyes flashed with a sly look.
Gu Youan was stunned, he didn't see it for a while, how could the lady be the same as a changed person, naturally it was not the change in appearance, but her expression, like ...... Count yourself as well.
Didn't he make her unhappy?
He raised his vigilance and smiled with a smile on his face: "Lady, it's not too early, I'll discuss it with Jingting and take you back to the General's Mansion." ”
Du Lan's condensed eyes swept over the people, and he didn't smile: "Lord Shizi, I first arrived at the palace today and found many problems, and I should rectify them when I come back." ”
As soon as he said this, the subordinates present immediately trembled.
Seeing this situation, Gu Youan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't provoke the lady, his cold eyes were like cold arrows, which scared people even more, everyone silently finished chanting, it's over, the princess is really powerful, you have to be careful in the future.
Gu You'an's eyes stayed on the subordinates for a long time before they were withdrawn, "What the lady said is very true, how about I send someone to invite Aunt Tang back in two days?" ”
Aunt Tang? Other people may not know, but the old mother is the old person of Shuowangfu, how powerful the begonias were back then, it can be said that the whole mansion is frightened.
The other subordinates quickly observed the words and colors, and suddenly noticed that the old mother's back was bent down again, and the person who could make the old mother talk about the tiger's color change was by no means an ordinary person.
The old mother's legs were like chaff, and she knelt down with a plop: "The old slave is at fault, the old slave neglects the princess, and asks the princess to punish her." ”
Seeing this, the other maids knelt down one after another: "Please punish the princess." ”
This was the first wake-up call that Duran sounded for them, Duran hooked his lips and smiled, "What's wrong with you, it's just that I'm a new concubine in the world, and you're not used to it." I have a deep relationship with Aunt Tang in private, and she will take care of everything in the backyard of the palace. ”
Gu Youan smiled at her: "Okay, I'll pass the book to Aunt Tang when I come back." Let's go now. ”
Chen Jingting was waiting for them at the gate of the mansion early in the morning, and when he saw the carriage of the palace coming from a distance, he immediately asked his subordinates to report it to his parents.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Chen Jingting happily greeted him: "You can count it here, my mother has already asked people to prepare meals for you to wash the dust." ”
Soon there was another carriage in front of the mansion, and a woman came with a man supporting her, and Chen Jingting said happily: "The eldest sister is also here." ”
Duran looked behind him, and the woman had already come closer, she was already pot-bellied and pregnant.
Seeing Duran, he excitedly took her hand: "You are my long-lost sister." ”
Du Lan didn't withdraw his hand, since he came to confess his relatives, he didn't have to hold it, "Hello eldest sister." ”
The eldest sister happily held her hand, and it wasn't until Gu Youan opened her mouth that she turned her head to look at it, looking Gu Youan up and down, only to see that he was extraordinary, and suddenly remembered that he was the recently crowned son of An Shiye.
Hurriedly withdrew his hand and said, "Please say hello to An Shiziye."
Behind her, her man also bowed his hand to greet Gu Youan.
Gu Youan smiled and waved his hand: "Your own family, you don't need to be polite." ”
The eldest sister grabbed Du Lan again, her eyes were slightly red: "I heard Jingting talk about you, you have suffered a lot outside, you are really amazing as a woman." No wonder Jingting likes to be close to you, even if I see you, I like it very much. ”
Chen Jingting smiled and haha: "Eldest sister, she is our younger sister, we saw her and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy, which is why I like to be close to her, but not because of how good she is." ”
The eldest sister was stunned for a moment, squinted and smiled: "Look at me, I only admire my sister's ability, let's go, let's catch up at home." ”
"Sister, slow down." Duran supported her with his backhand, and the family happily walked towards General Chen.
While walking, the eldest sister apologized to Du Lan: "Mother misses her daughter heartily, and mistakenly recognizes that vicious woman as you, fortunately, the sky is reasonable, and the bad guy will not have good results, and the maid who stayed with her mother has sent a letter back, saying that you are the sister that Aunt Zhao took away back then." By the way, didn't Aunt Zhao come with you? ”
Duran shook his head with a smile, and explained to the eldest sister that this eldest sister was lively and easy to talk, but on the contrary, the brother-in-law was sullen and not good at words.
"Eldest sister, the previous things have passed, we won't mention it, in the future, our family will be harmonious and beautiful, you and Lan Lan often come to the house to see, and my father and mother will be satisfied. Now my father and mother are waiting in the front hall, let's go. Chen Jingting didn't want to mention something frustrating at this cheerful moment.
"Hmm."
Du Lan supported the eldest sister, Chen Jingting couldn't wait to lead the way, and Gu Youan and his brother-in-law chatted with each other.
From a distance, Duran saw Mrs. Chen looking towards this side with tears in her eyes in the arch hole leading to the backyard, and she was a little nervous in her heart, and her steps couldn't help but speed up a little.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chen wiped her tears and ran away, eldest sister, Chen Jingting saw that she was a little at a loss, this ......
General Chen had been waiting at the hall door for a long time, and when he saw them, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to come in and sit down.
Du Lan stepped forward to ask General Chen for peace, General Chen looked at Du Lan with admiration, "Okay, my good daughter, sure enough, the tiger father has no dog girl, the battle of Dongcheng, you have solved a big problem for your father, I have reported your merits to the emperor, the emperor said that he will reward you as the county lord, hahaha......"
General Chen laughed heartily, but Duran didn't care about the reward, what she cared about was why Mrs. Chen avoided her when she saw her.
Seeing her gaze looking at the backyard, General Chen put away his laughter, "Don't worry, your mother is not ready, she must feel sorry for you." ”
Ah, I see.
Mrs. Chen hid in the house and wept silently, she saw Duran from afar, but she didn't have the courage to come forward to admit it, she really wanted to go up and hug her and take good care of her, but she actually absurdly recognized her cousin as her daughter, and helped Gu Chunyan embarrass her daughter many times.
Thinking of how Gu Chunyan slandered her daughter and said bad things about her daughter in her letters, she feels like a knife when she thinks about it now, the reason why Gu Chunyan married into the Xu Mansion is not caused by herself, she has become the murderer who framed her daughter.
Causing her daughter to suffer so much, Mrs. Chen really blamed herself, obviously Du Lan was in the front hall, but she was tormented in her heart.
In the front hall, General Chen invited everyone to sit down for a banquet, and Duran was restless, she didn't want to make Mrs. Chen sad.
Because she is not really stupid, so she will not hold a grudge against Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen misses her daughter, she understands this, so she can face Mrs. Chen with a heart.
"Father, I'm going to ask my mother to come out." Duran got up, walked out of the front hall and into the backyard after owing to the others.
"Mother......." She found Mrs. Chen's residence, called into the house, heard the familiar and unfamiliar shout, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart, tears like beads with broken threads, snapping and falling down.
"Mother." Duran pushed open her door and walked to the inner room, Mrs. Chen couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself into Duran's arms, "Daughter, mother is sorry for you......"
Unexpectedly, the first meeting between her and Mrs. Chen was such a scene, Du Lan stood up straight in astonishment, let Mrs. Chen suffer, and after a while, after Mrs. Chen's mood stabilized, Du Lan spoke to be relieved.
"There are no parents in the world who are not, mothers, things have passed, maybe there are a few hurdles between our mother and daughter, and after crossing these hurdles, we can be regarded as real mothers and daughters."
"Well, well, mother is so ashamed." As she spoke, Mrs. Chen left Du Lan's arms, and she looked at Du Lan kindly: "Good daughter, our husband and wife are really stupid, your father saw you in Dongcheng, and he didn't even recognize you." ”
Saying this, Mrs. Chen smiled embarrassedly.
"Mother, don't blame yourself, there are countless people in the world who look alike, if you only rely on feelings to recognize relatives, then aren't many people relatives?"
