Chapter Forty-Nine: Maternal Grandmother
The maid opened the curtain for her, and said to Fu Zhangzhu with a smile: "Aunt Fu, please come inside." ”
Palms did not squint, lowered their heads slightly and entered the room. Bao Yan followed Cai Wei but was very uneasy, Mrs. Du was sitting in the next room, and Zhangzhu went in, only thinking that there were many people sitting in the house.
"My palm beads!" The white-haired woman who sat on the top of her arm threw her arms around her, without waiting for her to bow down. Zhangzhu looked up and saw a face full of folds. The eyebrows and eyes are crooked, with a bit of love. The grandmother of the Xu family has passed away for many years, and she can't remember what her grandmother was like. Seeing this face now, it reminds her of the Xie family's grandmother. The same old man, with the same look.
Mrs. Du hugged her palms affectionately and tears rolled down, and said tremblingly: "Good girl, I thought I would never see you again in this life, and I didn't send you off when you got married, you must still blame me for being an old woman." ”
Zhangzhu was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while, but the third aunt Luo on the side reminded her: "Aunt Fu, why are you stunned, call grandma." ”
Zhangzhu finally called: "Grandma!" ”
Mrs. Du hugged her palm beads tighter.
When Grandma Meng saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Don't just cry, old lady, didn't the doctor tell you to take care of it well, and it's not good for your health like this." ”
Mrs. Du wiped the corners of her eyes, and then she looked around, only to see the palm beads and the accompanying treasure geese, she couldn't help but ask again: "Girl, did you come back by yourself?" ”
Zhangzhu replied, "Yes." ”
Mrs. Du couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she heard this: "I haven't seen what my grandson-in-law looks like, you should bring him with you." ”
The palm beads didn't do anything, but Bao Yan was shocked when she heard it, and her face turned pale.
Although Mrs. Du is old, her brain is very clear, and she called her eldest grandson's daughter-in-law and instructed: "Let people bring in all the cages of the palm beads, or let her live with me." ”
Grandma Meng agreed with a smile, Bao Yan became more and more worried in her heart, where did they have any cages, all the bags added up to just two burdens, which contained several sets of clothes for the two of them, and her young lady was precious, but it was the small wooden box given by the water purifier.
Grandma Meng was about to come out to say hello, Bao Yan hurriedly followed, and she greeted Grandma Meng uneasily: "Grandma, the girl doesn't have any accompanying cages, so there is no need to bother." In addition, the three accompanying dart masters in the group room also asked the grandmother to help take care of the students. ”
Grandma Meng looked Bao Yan up and down, but saw that Bao Yan was wearing a black braid, a coarse cotton jacket that was not gray or blue, and there was not even a flower on her head. This looks like a maid with a face next to her aunt, no different from a little girl from a poor family, and the makeup of the palm beads is almost the same. This Yin family is too much of a thing, and they don't even give a set of decent clothes, this is still the case when they go back to their grandfather's house, and you can imagine what the situation is like when they are at home. By all indications, this is all very strange.
"Bao Yan, if I ask you, you will truthfully recruit me."
Bao Yan was scared in her heart, so she knelt down for Grandma Meng with a normal sound, choked up and said, "If Grandma wants to know something, the maid will tell you one by one." ”
Grandma Meng saw that there were people on the left and right, so she said to Baoyan: "You come with me!" ”
Bao Yan hurriedly got up and followed Grandma Meng to the ear room next door.
Grandma Meng sat down and retreated from the people in front of her, leaving Bao Yan behind.
"It's just you and me here, you tell me all the situation as it is, but you are not allowed to hide half a sentence, if there is concealment, I will beat you up and throw you to the village."
Bao Yan panicked, then knelt down again, crying and said, "Grandma, grandma, you are doing well." Save our girl. ”
Grandma Meng's heart sank, and she said solemnly: "Sure enough, there was an accident in Yangyang, isn't it?" ”
Under the questioning of Grandma Meng, Baoyan told Grandma Meng how she learned that Yin Sanye was killed halfway on the day of Zhangzhu's wedding, and how she met a bandit. The more Grandma Meng listened, the more solemn her face became.
Mrs. Du's room became lively at this moment, and the third aunt of Zhangzhu, Luo, brought Yun Lan and Yun Ying sisters to arrive. Yun Lan and Yun Ying sisters greeted Zhangzhu. Yun Ying is about the same age as Zhangzhu, wearing an apricot-red skirt, combing a bun, and a dazzling emerald inlaid dragonfly hairpin in her hair. I saw her with a duck egg face, a pair of slightly raised Danfeng eyes, and a straight nose like a jade tube. Although it is not a full beauty, it is also delicate and elegant, which makes people feel amiable. Looking at Yun Lan again, she is only eight or nine years old, with a double beard, two beaded flowers, a pair of big eyes, and pink lips like blooming cherry blossoms.
Luo saw that Zhangzhu was dressed in an old green onion clothes, which seemed to be patched. Her eyes sank, and she said in her heart whether the Yin family couldn't afford to eat, or the Fu family couldn't afford to eat, how did the ladies of the good official eunuchs get this poor and sour look.
Mrs. Du let the palm beads sit next to her, and asked her carefully how to move in time, and walked on the road for a few days. What else does the Yin family do now, how do they benefit, and so on. How clear is the matter of the Yin family, so he only replied: "I have been on the road for eight days." ”
Mrs. Du saw that Zhangzhu was a little hesitant, and she didn't speak very happily, and said in her heart that even if the child was married, it was not good, she felt sour, and remembered her daughter who died early, so she took Zhangzhu's hand and said: "Zhu'er, don't think about the Yin family, don't think about the Fu family, since you came to Grandma's house, you can accompany Grandma, and wait until the Yin family comes to the door, you can leave." Grandma has not been in good health over the years, and I don't know how many times I can see you, but the next time I come to Shoufeng, my grandma will be gone. ”
Zhangzhu was silent, but the third daughter-in-law Luo Shi on the side frowned and said: "Old lady, you are now so good that you will be raised, why do you say this, you don't have to make your niece feel sad." ”
Mrs. Du immediately asked the maid in front of her to move the room for Zhangzhu, and let the sisters Yunying and Yunlan be companions with Zhangzhu. Turning around, she asked again, "What about Brother Xu's daughter-in-law?" ”
As she was talking, Grandma Meng came in, her eyes were slightly red, and the corners of her eyes were still wet, she stepped forward and tried to squeeze out a smile to flatter: "What does the old lady command?" ”
Mrs. Du nodded and said, "Today, a distant guest came to the house, and I ordered the kitchen to cook a few more delicious meals, and prepare some clothes and jewelry for your sister." ”
Grandma Meng agreed, and then walked up to Zhangzhu and asked with a smile: "Sister Fu, tell me what you like to eat, and I'll let you do it." ”
Zhangzhu said coldly: "It's okay to stick to anything." ”
