Chapter 371: First Trip to Kou Mansion

After deciding on it, Mrs. Murong took Shang Ruonan back to her parents' house, saying that she was taking Shang Ruonan to visit the old man.

It was Qingfeng who drove the carriage and took Mrs. Murong Tai and Shang Ruonan to the Zhenxi Hou Mansion.

Because someone had already come to report the news, when their carriage arrived at the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, they drove directly in and stopped at the second gate.

As soon as Mrs. Murongtai's carriage stopped, she heard someone saluting outside the carriage, and an old voice sounded:

"The old slave welcomes the young lady home."

"Mama Meng, why did you work, your old man came over. Don't come up, I'll come down right away. ”

Mama Meng is a transcendent existence in this mansion. She herself is Mrs. Kou's maid. followed Mrs. Kou to marry to the Kou family.

When the old lady gave birth to her eldest son, her daughter was also full moon, and she became the nurse of the eldest young master of the Kou family.

Because the old marquis Kou was also a person who guarded the border city for many years. Therefore, the old lady also followed the garrison in the border city, and the people in Beijing were reluctant to go to the border city when they heard about it, because they heard that the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and there were some barbarians who were very cruel, and they heard that they wanted to eat people.

Therefore, some girls are reluctant to go. But Mama Meng followed the old marquis and his wife. In the border city, Mrs. gave birth to the second child again, and for a while, there was no other candidate to choose from, so Mama Meng continued to be the nurse of the second young master. When she gave birth to the third child, Mama Meng also gave birth to a son, so she grew up together.

When the youngest young master, who is now the Marquis of Zhenxi, was born, Mrs. deliberately asked her to be a nurse. Because, even if the first three sons were brought by the nurse, they were taught very well, and they were polite and motivated. Therefore, it was handed over to Mama Meng, and only after this Kou Baoyu was born, was Mrs. Hou's own child.

gave birth to four sons, and finally got a girl, which is really like an eyeball. Even Hou Ye is also in pain.

After giving birth to Kou Baoyu, the old lady did not follow her to the border city. Therefore, the old marquis also took two concubines in the border city, and one gave birth to a son, but the conditions in the border city were indeed worse, and the child died of illness. The other concubine never had children.

Now these two old aunts live in a small yard in the backyard, and the two of them take care of each other. There are two girls, and there are two mothers-in-law who follow them, and the old marquis will go to sit down when he thinks of it, but there is no shortage of their lives in the Hou mansion. Let them live their lives until they die.

To tell the truth, the two old aunts are really not as good as this Mama Meng in this mansion. People who can be the nurses of the four young masters, in this mansion, except for the status of the old lady, even the current Mrs. Kou has to give three points to her.

Therefore, when she heard that it was her old man who came to pick up people, Mrs. Murong Tai hurriedly humbled herself.

However, Shang Ruonan understood that this mansion let such an old lady who could make Mrs. Murong polite to pick up the car, not to pick up Mrs. Murong, but to come to herself, the person who came to the door for the first time.

Shang Ruonan also tidied up his clothes a little, and then got out of the carriage with the support of the red clothes.

"The old slave has seen Miss, and the old slave has seen Miss Shangsi."

Seeing these two nobles get out of the carriage, Mama Meng hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Only then did Shang Ruonan see that it was an old woman wearing a dark blue cotton dress that was eighty percent new. His hair was combed smooth, and he only wore a small bun at the back of his head, and he only wore a simple silver hairpin. Pythagorean Library

With a kind look on his face, he looked at Mrs. Murong Tai with a smile, but when his eyes turned to look at Shang Ruonan, the smile did not change, but Shang Ruonan could obviously feel that the eyes were less warm, and turned into a kind of looking look, looked at Shang Ruonan from beginning to end, and nodded again and again:

"Sure enough, it's a very aura young lady. Come inside, please, the old lady can't wait. The eldest lady of the Chengde Hou Mansion also came with her daughter-in-law. One step ahead of you, by the way, that Miss Shang and this young lady are sisters? ”

"Yes, Mama, that's my eldest sister."

"Well, good, good! The old lady is very appreciative, hurry up, go inside, the old slave is old, too wordy, don't miss the time when the old lady sees her granddaughter-in-law, then you have to blame me. ”

As she spoke, she stepped out of the way, and Mrs. Murong smiled and stretched out her hand to hold Shang Ruonan and said:

"Ruonan, come with me, don't be afraid, my grandmother will like you very much."

Shang Ruonan still followed Mrs. Murong Tai half a step behind her and walked inside. This is from the second gate to the main house, but it is a long way, through a corridor, and also through an atrium.

Along the way, Shang Ruonan didn't look around, just followed Mrs. Murong's steps. This made Mama Meng, who was walking behind, also nodded secretly, not like an ignorant child.

On the way, I also met some girls, all of whom saluted Mrs. Murong, although Shang Ruonan could feel that these people were secretly looking at him, but these girls still didn't dare to look at themselves squarely, because this was the courtesy of hospitality.

followed Mrs. Murong to the door of the main room, and heard a message from the girl at the door:

"Mrs. Murong has arrived."

While reporting, the girl opened the curtain.

Mrs. Murong Tai pulled Shang Ruonan and went inside. Both the red and green clothes were stopped outside, and similarly, Shang Ruonan also saw the lily and the pothos.

Seeing that they were also standing outside, Shang Ruonan was a little worried that the eldest sister was alone inside.

After entering, the lobby of this Hou Mansion is different, it looks more spacious and bright. There are screens on the left and right sides. There was a faint warm light shining from behind the screen, and it seemed that the windows behind the screen were open.

When I walked outside, I felt that it was quiet inside, and I didn't hear any sound, and I thought that there were not many people. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came in, I saw that the people from Hong Kong to Zizi were all people. It seems that this is the reason why the girls are not allowed to come in.

Directly in front of him sat an old woman dressed in dark red brocade, with several golden hairpins on her head, but none of them looked very big and ostentatious, and they were really just for fixing her hair.

And the snow-white hair makes those little golden hairpins look extremely charming. An old face was covered with ravines.

A pair of sharp eyes makes it difficult to keep calm, and you will be at a loss!

It seems that this old woman is Mrs. Kou. On the left hand side of Old Madam Kou, there is an embroidered stool that is neither tall nor low, and it is the lady Tan of the Chengde Hou Mansion with a cold face! Standing behind the Tan family was Shang Nianlan!

Tan also wore a brocade robe today, and didn't wear those gray clothes anymore. But he looks a lot younger. Although there was no smile on her face, Shang Ruonan felt that she had a little more warmth.
