Chapter Eighty-Three: One Surprise at a Time

Mrs. Jinghui sent Mrs. Shang out of the mountain gate and watched the two grandparents leave. Turning to Jining, he said:

"Go and find your Uncle Jingzhi, and say that I have something to do with her. I'm waiting for her in the meditation room. ”

Nian Lan and Chun Tao were on the side, helping Mrs. Shang down the steps, and the people below had packed their things. Nianlan and her grandmother sat in one carriage, Lily and Chun Tao also got into this carriage, and the others went to take the second carriage.

Three or four wagons are a small convoy. I also entered the city through the west gate, and when I entered the city, I saw a small servant of a merchant waiting at the gate of the city. The little guy also saw the convoy coming, turned around and ran back. His task was to go back early and speak. The carriage returned.

When I returned to Shangfu, it was already past noon. The carriage drove directly outside the second gate, Nianlan helped her grandmother get down from the carriage, and Mrs. Shang, accompanied by vanilla and Xiangyu, also stood at the second gate with all her daughters to welcome the old lady.

As soon as she got out of the carriage and saw such a big battle, the old lady was stunned for a moment, looked up left and right, and the home still hadn't changed much. But when she saw Mrs. Shang's big belly, the old lady was stunned, she had never seen such a big belly pregnant with a child!

The old lady frowned and said:

"Oh, you have such a big belly, what are you going to do when you come out, and you still don't help Madame back?"

Shu Yunniang smiled and said:

"Mother, it's nothing, Dr. Wen told me to walk more every day, just walk for a while, I will feel that this waist can't stand it, and I will lean on it for a while."

From the second child to the little Qi Mulan, they are all lined up in the corridor in order. After Mrs. Shang saluted, they came over one by one to salute the old lady. When she saw Xiao Si, the old lady didn't dare to touch her when she stretched out her hand, but only touched her head and said:

"Good, good, good boy! Watch your hands! ”

When she entered the courtyard, the old lady waved her hand and said:

"Nianlan is with me. Yun Niang, you go and rest, second girl, you take care of Xiaosi. Three girls, take your sisters well. I'll go back to my yard to rest first, this man is old, and he feels tired from riding in a carriage. ”

The old lady still went to Hui'an Hall with the support of Chun Tao and Nian Lan, but when Nian Lan and Ruonan staggered by, Nian Lan gave Ruonan a reassuring look.

In addition to directing people to get off the carriage and move the things for the old lady, Aunt Juan also ordered the old lady and the eldest lady to go down, and the old lady and the eldest lady and such a group of people have not yet eaten lunch. Tell the kitchen to get ready.

Shu Yunniang, who returned to the courtyard, leaned on the couch as soon as she entered the house, and exclaimed:

"Xiangyu, help me press my legs! My legs are so bad! ”

However, Wanglan assisted Ruonan to lie down slowly, Ruonan still couldn't lie down to sleep, it was still painful, and it was much better to lie on his stomach.

Look at the man lying down. Wanglan also went to help her mother rub her legs. glanced at Mo Xiang, and Mo Xiang took those little girls out. In the house, there were only a few mothers and daughters with each fragrant jade and cloves, and the younger sisters were taken by Panlan and the nurses to play in the courtyard outside.

Wanglan looked at it and said:

"Ruonan, where are you? I thought my grandmother would be angry when she came back, but I didn't expect her to be angry. Don't say you don't know, but I saw the look that my eldest sister gave you. ”

Ruonan smiled and said:

"I know you're sharp-eyed. You can't see it at all when you look at the third sister. Yesterday I discussed with my eldest sister how to go to my grandmother and how to talk to her. For the time being, my grandmother will be held by two things, and she will not get angry for the time being. ”

"You're a ghost, tell me, what?"

Even Shu Yunniang, who breathed a sigh of relief, also took a sentence.

Shang Ruonan was eating a pastry with a clove hand, and when he heard his mother ask, he also said:

"The first thing, the happy event, is that you are pregnant with twins. The second thing that worries her is that her father has no money. The family is poor. I asked my eldest sister not to donate merit today. ”

When Mrs. Shang heard this, she was surprised:

"That's not good, if you don't donate merit, your father won't be able to say that you guys didn't give Nianlan a thousand last night?"

Shang Ruonan pouted at Lilac, and Lilac got up and took out a purse under the quilt on the side and handed it to Mrs. Shang. Shang Ruonan said:

"That's the thousand taels. I stopped it. ”

Mrs. Shang's face changed, and she wanted to sit up and say something, but Wanglan pressed the person down again and said:

"Mother, just listen to Xiaosi, you don't care, anyway, grandmother isn't angry today, is she?"

Turning his head and criticizing Shang Ruonan:

"Talk to your mother, just say it directly, don't make your twists and turns."

Shang Ruonan swallowed the pastry in his mouth before he said:

"Mother, think about it, grandmother must have had private money all these years. It's not that I'm calculating her money, it's mainly what if our family can't survive the next year? And take a thousand to donate? That's a month's worth for our family! ”

"So, I asked the eldest sister not to donate first, to go and tell my grandmother about the matter, and not to say that we don't donate money, just to say that we donated more than 20 nun clothes to them, and gave them some of the dishes sent by our Zhuangzi during the Chinese New Year. That would give them a good year, wouldn't it? Although they may not lack these. But my grandmother was a merchant, and she was a face-loving person who enjoyed the highest treatment in the temple. She must not be able to let go of this face. Therefore, I will definitely donate my private money. And it's a willing donation! ”

"But if you calculate your grandmother like this, your father will be angry when you look back."

Shang Ruonan moved his body, turned his head to look at his mother, and said:

"Mother, I don't see it that way, I think you have picked up your grandmother hard. But my grandmother was also a member of our business. If nothing else, even if she is not happy that we are all girls, she is not a bad grandmother like other people's families, because she drowned the child born because she gave birth to a girl. At the very least, she kept all seven of us alive! This shows that she still knows that we are all relatives, but what she wants is a grandson. It's not that you don't want granddaughters. That shows that she cares about this family. ”

"She cares about us and her family, and the root cause is that she cares about our father, and knows that our father is in trouble, and she will definitely try her best to help, instead of excluding her and letting her enjoy her, while we suffer from us. In this way, she will think that we are not honoring her and not treating her as family. So, I told my eldest sister last night that I wanted to tell her some real things about the family. There are joys and sorrows, and they won't hurt her. ”

"Good! Wakao said it well! ”

What I praise Ruonan is the Shang Dongliang who came in with the curtain! He's been listening outside for a while! It's this daughter who always looks at the problem differently, and gives him a surprise every time!
