In the afternoon, Xiaocui came in and said that Sun Shaozu had sent Magnolia. Yingchun knew that Magnolia must have something to do, so he asked Xiaocui to call Magnolia in.

Magnolia entered the house and replied, "Madam, the lord asked me to tell you that the lord has just received the letter, and the old lady is scheduled to leave for the capital tomorrow, and will be here in about five days. The old lady took the second master, the fourth master, and the eldest young master, the eldest girl, and the second girl, and asked the lady to clean up the residence. ”

When Sun Shaozu came back in the evening, Yingchun asked Sun Shaozu: "The old lady is coming back to live permanently, do I want to find someone to repaint the East Courtyard?" ”

Sun Shaozu stared at the book in his hand with his eyes and raised his head: "I don't need to, my mother I still know her, Xu is happy for a while, I live for three days and two days, I will take her when I come to the capital, she doesn't come, she always says that her homeland is difficult to leave." I think I'm married to a daughter-in-law now, and my mother hasn't seen you yet, and I'm so busy that I can't take you back. Mother naturally wants to bring the whole family here, everyone is familiar with each other, and there will be no sharing in the future. ”

Yingchun put the Song Ci in his hand on the case, turned to Sun Shaozu and said, "You tell me what my mother and second brother, as well as my younger brothers and sisters, like, and I can also back up the gift." ”

Sun Shaozu put down the book: "My mother's favorite is me, as long as you treat me well, her old man will naturally be happy." ”

Yingchun glanced at Sun Shaozu: "Speaking seriously, you are here to beg for goodwill." ”

Sun Shaozu laughed: "What I said is true, you and I are husband and wife, and Ruqinse, of course my mother will be happy." However, I also want to tell you a little bit about my family. ”

Sun Shaozu said, walked over, took Yingchun's hand, and the husband and wife sat on the small kang together: "My eldest brother was born by my mother, but he died when he was a child. The second brother was born to his aunt and has married a wife and had children. I'm ranked third, and the old people on my mother's side still call me the third master. ”

Sun Shaozu said and hugged Yingchun: "I also have a younger brother, who was also born to my aunt, but I am not the same aunt as my eldest brother." I have two younger sisters, the eldest sister is the same age as yours, and she was also born to your aunt, and she is the same aunt as the eldest brother, and my aunt volunteered to go to the family temple to practice after my father died. My little sister was born to my mother, and my mother loved my little sister the most. Chengpu, you also know, he was born to Aunt Jiang, but he grew up with his mother since he was a child. ”

Yingchun nodded: "It seems that to please my mother, I will first please your second sister and Pu'er." How old is the second sister? ”

"Hui Ying seems to be sixteen years old after the New Year."

"Aren't you married at sixteen? Can you get a pro? ”

Sun Shaozu shook his head: "Mother came to Duzhong this time to help my sister choose a better family, but I don't know." You, who are sisters-in-law, also have to help inquire a lot. ”

Yingchun smiled: "Master Sun, don't you know what kind of business I do?" Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and good relatives naturally depend on their own talents. ”

Sun Shaozu also laughed.

Five days passed in a flash, and it was the day when Mrs. Sun was coming.

Yingchun was packed up early, Sun Shaozu didn't go to the yamen, Aunt Chen and the two girls in the room were also waiting around, and even Yuling changed into new clothes, everyone just waited for Mrs. Sun and her party to arrive.

It was almost noon, Xiaocui came in with a curtain, and hurriedly replied: "Old lady, Wen Yuan is back, and said that there is another time for tea, and the old lady will arrive." ”

When Sun Shaozu heard this, he took Yingchun with him, followed by Aunt Chen, Luo Yi, Shui Silk and Yu Ling to the front of the mansion.

Not long after the husband and wife arrived, the sound of horses' hooves and carriages swaying as they walked came from outside the gate of the house. Sun Shaozu hurriedly stepped forward and walked out of the house first. The carriage in front of the curtain was lifted, and a girl walked down, the girl got out of the car first, and the other two mothers-in-law got down from the back carriage and walked to the carriage to serve.

The girl who came down first smiled and said, "Old lady, the third master is here to greet you." ”

In the carriage, another girl helped out a rich-looking, silver-haired old woman, Yingchun knew that this was Sun Shaozu's mother. I saw my grandmother wearing a big cloak of wild duck feathers, a jade green inlaid jacket inside, a long skirt covered in silver, a beaded flower between the silver hair, a face like jade, beautiful eyes and eyebrows, although there are years of wind and frost marks on the face, but look at its appearance, I know that it must be extremely beautiful when I was young.

Sun Shaozu hurriedly stepped forward, personally helped Mrs. Sun, and asked diligently, "How is my mother doing all the way?" Please come to the house. ”

Old Lady Sun looked down at Sun Shaozu, smiled between her lips, and nodded slightly.

Yingchun saw Sun Shaozu stepping forward, and also followed behind Sun Shaozu, and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Sun: "Mother, I've worked hard all the way. ”

Mrs. Sun held Sun Shaozu's hand, glanced at Yingchun, looked back at the carriage behind her, and said to the two mothers-in-law behind her, "Hurry up and ask your second master and others to come down." After Mrs. Sun finished speaking, she turned back to Sun Shaozu and complained slightly: "Along the way, I'm really tired, Zu'er, you help me in." ”

After Mrs. Sun finished speaking, she didn't look at Yingchun, held Sun Shaozu's hand, walked past Yingchun, and walked in with the girls. Sun Shaozu glanced at Yingchun, who was frozen on the side, and frowned very quickly, but he still helped Mrs. Sun to walk inside.

Yingchun was a little stunned, Mrs. Sun actually threw a soft nail to herself, it seems that this old man doesn't like herself.

Yingchun didn't say anything more, helped Si Zhu, followed behind Mrs. Sun, and walked inside.

When they arrived in the inner courtyard, Sun Shaozu brought Mrs. Sun and her party to the east courtyard. After Sun Shaozu helped Mrs. Sun to sit on the main seat, he stood aside with a smile and chatted with Mrs. Sun. Yingchun lowered his head slightly and stood behind Sun Shaozu.

After a while, the group entered the main hall, and Mrs. Sun waved her hand: "Sit down quickly, I'm tired enough all the way, and now I'm finally home, so I won't limit myself to this today." ”

Everyone laughed and sat down in turn.

Mrs. Sun said to Sun Shaozu again: "Zu'er, you can let people move all the things over." ”

Sun Shaozu smiled respectfully: "Mother, what are you doing with so many things?" I have everything here, and even if I don't, I'll buy it for my mother. ”

Old Mrs. Sun glanced at Sun Shaozu with disgust: "Zu'er, let me tell you, we won't leave again on this trip, so I naturally have to bring all the things." Zu'er, I'll bother you in the future. Mrs. Sun stared at Sun Shaozu with her eyes, and did not look at Yingchun.

Yingchun smiled for a while, immediately hid his surprise, and continued to listen to the conversation between the mother and son with his head down. Yingchun thought to herself, why didn't this old lady tell this matter in advance? Now I don't have any preparation for it.

Sun Shaozu also felt very sudden, he hesitated slightly, and immediately smiled again: "Mother's words make her son how to afford it, the whole family comes, and there is no separation of flesh and blood, which is naturally the best." ”

Sun Shaozu looked at Yingchun, stepped forward and bowed to Mrs. Sun and said, "Mother, this is my wife Jia's Yingchun." ”

Yingchun gave Mrs. Sun a salute again.

Mrs. Sun looked Yingchun up and down, nodded, and didn't say anything. At this time, Yuling stepped forward and gave a salute to Mrs. Sun. Old Lady Sun was a little surprised and said, "Is this Ling'er?" You've grown so tall, when you just left, Ling'er was still young. ”

Everyone laughed.

Aunt Chen stepped forward to give a salute to Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun bowed slightly, and Aunt Chen stood aside.

Sun Shaozu led Yingchun and introduced the others in the hall to Yingchun: "This is the second brother and second sister-in-law." ”

A man in his thirties and a young woman in her twenties stood up. Yingchun saw that the man was handsome, not very similar to Sun Shaozu, but his demeanor seemed to be shrunk, and he did not have the momentum of a big man. It's a young woman, about the age of Biaomei, with a pair of shrewd eyes flashing, and she is witty in her exquisiteness.

Yingchun hurriedly went to give gifts, and the young woman hurriedly took Yingchun's hand and said with a smile: "The third brother and sister are polite, they are all a family." ”

Yingchun also smiled and nodded, and the young woman brought two boys from behind, one was eleven or twelve years old, and the other was only five or six years old. The young woman smiled and said, "Third brother and sister, these are my two sons," the young woman said and looked at the older boy, "His name is Cheng Tao, and he is eleven years old," and looked at the little boy again, "His name is Cheng Ji, and he is six years old this year." ”

After the young woman introduced Yingchun, she hurriedly pushed the two boys: "This is your third aunt, Cheng Tao, Cheng Ji, don't call the third aunt soon." ”

Sun Chengtao gave a shy salute and called "Third Auntie", but the younger boy called "Third Aunt" crisply. Yingchun laughed, hurriedly called Si Zhu, and brought a greeting gift to the two children. The two children thanked them again to welcome the spring.

Sun Shaozu led Yingchun and walked in front of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, the young man's face turned red first, he gave a salute and called "third sister-in-law", Yingchun knew that this person must be Sun Shaozu's cousin. Sun Shaozu smiled and said, "This is the fourth brother Shaoyi. Yingchun gave Sun Shaoyi a meeting gift.

At this time, the two girls had already walked in front of Yingchun, and when Yingchun saw it, a young man of about twenty years old, Shao Xiu was quiet and smiled amiably. The other is about the age of jasper, born with a beautiful appearance, which is very moving.

Both girls gave a gift to Yingchun and called them the third sister-in-law. Yingchun hurriedly held the hands of the two girls and called her sister. Yingchun knows that the older one must be Sun Shaozu's sister-in-law, and the younger one is Sun Shaozu's sister-in-law.

Sun Shaozu smiled and said to Yingchun: "This is Hui Yan and Hui Ying. Yingchun gave the two girls a meeting gift.

Everyone was recognizing each other, and a mother-in-law outside entered the hall and replied to Mrs. Sun: "Old lady, the second son said that he would not get out of the carriage at all. ”

Mrs. Sun was not angry when she heard this, but shook her head with a smile: "It's all me who spoiled Pu'er, you go to a few people, coax him down, and just say that I miss him." ”

Sun Shaozu stood aside, his eyebrows furrowed.
