Chapter 18: Grandmother Arrives
The carriage stopped, and a woman about fifty years old took the lead in lifting the curtain, and glanced at the people standing in front of her with gentle eyebrows, and the Yin couple nodded slightly, and then turned around and picked up an old lady who was well-dressed and full of silver threads from inside.
The person who was supported was Cheng Xiangjin's grandmother, Mrs. Cheng. At this time, it was Mrs. Cheng's personal servant who supported her, and the people called her Lan Mo.
Cheng Xiangjin was waiting next to the car at this time, and when she saw Lan Mo helping Mrs. Cheng poke her head out, she hurriedly stretched out her arm skillfully and grabbed the old lady's hand, until the old lady got off the carriage smoothly, and then her little face wrinkled and said pitifully: "Grandmother, I can look forward to you, Jin'er is going to kill you in the past two months!" ”
Mrs. Cheng guessed that she had a lot of discomfort when she first came to Chang'an, so she took her hand and comforted her again and again.
"Grandmother is not relieved, she has come to see you! Don't worry, with your grandmother here in the future, no one will dare to bully you casually! ”
"Uh-huh, that's great!"
"Later, go back and tell me how you spent your time in Chang'an! Tell me who is bullying you, and grandmother will be angry with you when the time comes! ”
Cheng Xiangjin shook his head happily, "The granddaughter is good, no one dares to bully the granddaughter." The granddaughter just hasn't seen her grandmother for too long, so I don't want to think about you! ”
The grandparents and grandchildren seemed to have no one to talk about, but Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Fuyin were a little embarrassed.
Cheng Fuyin didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that everything the old mother said meant something, was it because he suspected that he was throwing face at his only daughter?
Thinking of this, Cheng Fuyin felt like he had eaten Coptis chinensis, and he was suddenly bitter. He didn't understand, obviously he was the meat that fell from his mother's body, how could his treatment be so different now?
Mrs. Cheng standing aside is also not a taste.
Jin'er is obviously the flesh and blood that she conceived and gave birth to in October, why didn't the mother and daughter be so affectionate like their grandchildren when they were together?
At this moment, Mrs. Cheng had to admit that she had a loss of pantothenic acid in her heart!
The husband and wife stood beside the old lady in a depressed mood, even if they wanted to interject, they couldn't interject, and finally waited until the old lady turned her eyes to the couple, and Cheng Fuyin burst into tears and said: "Mother, I can look forward to your old man!" My son has been thinking about you all the time for more than half a year! ”
Old Madam Cheng glanced at her son lightly, "Okay, let's go back to the house first, I've been on the road for two days, but I'm tired of this old bone!" Then he glanced at the servants who were standing in the middle of the courtyard, and said in a soothing tone: "Everyone is also scattered, go your own way!" ”
When the servants saw that the old lady spoke so easily, their hearts gradually became happy, and they went down to work in a relaxed mood.
Only Cheng Fuyin wanted to cry in his heart, so he was not even as good as a servant?
No, it must not be true!
When everyone dispersed, Mrs. Cheng suppressed her sour heart, and respectfully stepped forward to hold the old lady's arm, "Mother has worked hard all the way, and my daughter-in-law is here to help you!" ”
Old Madam Cheng bowed slightly, and her face looked better.
A group of several people walked slowly inside, and occasionally heard the laughter of Cheng Xiangjin and the old lady.
Finally arrived at the yard that had been cleaned up for the old lady in advance, and Cheng Fuyin and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.
"I just saw the scenery of the house along the road, it's very well taken care of, you've worked hard all these years!"
Mrs. Cheng didn't expect Mrs. Cheng to say this to her so kindly, and she was immediately flattered, "It's all a matter of daughter-in-law, don't feel hard." ”
Mrs. Cheng nodded, very relieved. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law is much more sensible than the son!
At noon, Cheng Siyi, the young owner of Jiangnan Tea House, heard the news and rushed to visit. accompanied Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Fuyin's family to have a reunion dinner, and they talked and laughed for a long time, and did not leave until the sun was in the west in the afternoon.
Mrs. Cheng has a total of two grandsons and a granddaughter, and she naturally loves Cheng Siyi. No, as soon as Cheng Siyi mentioned that he was leaving, Lan Mo handed him the souvenirs he had brought from Meixian County in advance, and as soon as he mentioned the heavy ones, he knew that they had packed a lot. When I opened it, I saw that it was all his childhood favorite food.
Cheng Siyi was as happy as if his mouth had been smeared with honey, and he said a lot of good things to Mrs. Cheng, and then he took his things and left.
Mrs. Cheng looked at his back as he walked away, and said with emotion to Lan Mo on the side: "Yi'er, this child has been naughty since he was a child, and he is not as well-behaved as Yang'er and loves to learn. Now that I've grown up and become sensible, my temperament hasn't changed at all, and I'm still so naughty and noisy. In the past few years, the two of them have been walking south and north for a year and a half, leaving only Yi'er to guard the shop in Chang'an, but I didn't expect it to be orderly and reasonable, and it was difficult for him! ”
Lan Mo also felt the same way, "If the old lady feels sorry for this child, why don't you often ask him to come and sit, first, the grandparents can talk to relieve your boredom, and second, you can also take care of him." ”
Old Madam Cheng only nodded and said nothing.
In the next few days, every noon, Cheng Siyi would come to accompany Mrs. Cheng to dinner, and when she came, she would bring some famous gadgets and snacks on Chang'an Street to the old lady and Cheng Xiangjin, which made the old lady happy!
Cheng Fuyin and his wife saw that the old lady was in a good mood, and gradually breathed a sigh of relief! Fortunately, there are two small ones that will coax people!
The news of Mrs. Cheng's visit to Chang'an somehow spread to the Wei family in the Ministry of Servants' Mansion, and Mrs. Wei got the news and had to hand over a post to visit. Wei Shilang was forced to acquiesce.
When Mrs. Cheng received the post, Cheng Xiangjin was begging Ganlu to teach her how to use a sword in Yulan Courtyard. Mrs. Cheng didn't throw away that hot post, and she didn't keep it. After thinking for a while, he sent Lan Mo to call Mrs. Cheng over.
"Old lady Wei handed over a post to visit? Didn't my mother go back to his house before she came to Chang'an, what does Mrs. Wei mean now? Mrs. Cheng got the news and hurried over. The always dignified and decent lady is facing her daughter's family affairs at this moment, and she is like an ordinary mother, caring about it!
Mrs. Cheng handed her a cup of tea and signaled her to be calm, and then said earnestly: "Speaking of which, it is all because of my relationship with the Wei family. If it is up to me to start the matter, then it will be up to me to settle the matter. Relax and take a sip of tea first. ”
Mrs. Cheng knew that she was a little anxious, so she took the teacup with both hands and took a sip, a little unsure of the old lady's intention of calling her over.
"It's nothing, just to let you know about it. I'll post him back in a moment and ask him to come back tomorrow. You should pay attention to this matter, and when the people come tomorrow, tell the subordinates to lead them directly to the front hall, and do not slack off. ”
The grievances between her and Mrs. Wei will be resolved by her personally!
Seeing that this was the case, Mrs. Cheng's heart was slightly relieved, "Mother rest assured, my daughter-in-law will definitely send someone to receive her." Although the daughter-in-law doesn't like this family affair, she is not a person who doesn't know etiquette. I won't be slow to treat Mrs. Wei. ”
Seeing her say this, Mrs. Cheng was a lot more relieved. The eldest daughter-in-law has an advantage that she has always been quite pleased with, that is, she knows the general situation! This alone is a hundred times stronger than her son who is rigid and stubborn and prejudiced against women!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted about this matter for a few more words, and Mrs. Cheng left with peace of mind and went back to her yard.
Early the next morning, a carriage from Wei Shilang's mansion stopped at the door of the Cheng family's mansion. An old man with a decent beard and gray hair came down from inside, and this person was none other than Old Lady Wei.
