Today, Su Jinan is going to Meifu with her parents to pay New Year's greetings, and she is still very curious about her rented family. As the mother said goodbye to the old lady Su Jin'an followed out of the Su Mansion, Su Mu and the three sons at the door of the house had already waited any longer, and when they saw the lady and daughter coming out, Su Mu's face softened a lot when she didn't become serious for ten thousand years, and she stretched out her hand to support Mei Ru: "Let's go, my father-in-law and mother-in-law must be waiting." ”

Mei Ru is wearing a jujube red butterfly opera peony and Shu brocade dress today, covered with a cyan fur cloak, her hair is combed into a meticulous woman's bun, and her face is slightly powdered, although she is a little blessed, but she can't stop the happiness flowing between her eyebrows and eyes. Mei Ru was helped into the carriage by her husband and beckoned to Su Jin'an, who was slightly distracted: "Come on, what are you doing." ”

Su Jin'an was wearing a light smoke Luo silver-embroidered cloud satin long skirt, and her long hair was simply fixed with a white jade plum hairpin, Mei Ru thought she was plain, so she added a fiery red fox fur cloak to her, and from a distance, Su Jin'an's white and tender face was surrounded by fiery red fox fur, which made her look even more petite and lovely, Su Jinan walked to the front of the car, Su Mu looked at Yue ** Liang's daughter and couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of her head, and praised succinctly: "Good-looking."

Surrounded by a group of guards and subordinates, everyone followed Su Mu and Su Muyang, who were in the lead, and slowly set off towards Meifu. Since Mei Ru has not returned to the capital for many years, this time it is more solemn, there are four or two carriages, one sits Mei Ru and Su Jin'an, the other sits Su Muqing and Su Murong, and the other two are New Year's gifts prepared for Mei Mansion and the maid in charge of care.

After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at the door of the Mei Mansion, and there was already a housekeeper waiting at the door. Meifu is worthy of a family with a hundred years of accumulation, the ground in front of the door is spotless, the stone lions on both sides are solemn, the housekeeper leads a group of small maids to stand with their heads down, and no one panics when they see the carriage and horses coming, and they serve the people to get off in an orderly manner, which shows that the family style of Meifu is rigorous.

"The old slave has seen the young lady, the uncle, the eldest son, the second son, the third lady, and the fourth son." The old butler led a group of servants to his knees to greet him.

"Uncle Wu, hurry up", Mei Ru was a little excited, and her hand held by Su Jin'an trembled slightly.

Su Mu helped Steward Wu up, and Steward Wu's voice was also full of joy: "Thank you, Miss, uncle, you are finally back, hurry, come in, the old lady has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Okay, let's go", Su Mu took Mei Ru from Su Jin'an's hand and walked towards the inner courtyard led by the housekeeper.

Mrs. Mei on the other side walked back and forth in the house, and Mr. Mei was dizzy from walking: "Alas, can you stop leaving, the child will come soon, so you can't sit for a while."

"I can't sit still, I'm just such a baby girl, I haven't seen me for so many years, but it's not like you, I can still sit with the old god here, you said it's fast, it's fast, why haven't you come in yet!" Mrs. Mei was angry when she looked at Mr. Mei's unhurried appearance.

"How are you ......" Master Mei was just about to refute, when the mother-in-law outside walked in with a happy face, and said while saluting: "Master, madam, here, Miss and Aunt have come in with Miss Gongzi!" ”

"Ah, it's finally back!" Mrs. Mei said and walked out.

"Where are you going, sit down, what do you look like in front of the juniors!" Master Mei hurriedly stopped Mrs. Mei who was about to walk out.

A maid lifted the heavy door curtain, Su Mu and Mei appeared in front of them, looking at their daughter who had not seen them for more than ten years, Mrs. Mei's tears suddenly welled up,

Mrs. Mei hugged her daughter and cried for a long time, this time Mrs. Mei did not interrupt Mrs. Mei, he himself looked at his daughter with red eyes.

Wait until a few people calm down, the four juniors came forward to formally meet their grandfather and grandmother, among the four children, the Mei family should be the most familiar with Su Muyang, Su Muyang after the age of twelve Su Mu will take him every year when he returns to Beijing to report on his work, it has been several years in a row, but now he hasn't seen him for a year.

"Good boys, good boys, all good kids, get up!" Mr. and Mrs. Mei looked at the children kneeling on the ground to pay New Year's greetings, and there was indescribable pity.

"This is Mu Qing, you were only four years old when you left, and now you are so old, good boy, your body is very good?" Old Madam Mei pulled Su Muqing and said with concern.

"Grandmother Lao is worried, her grandson is all right, and his body is a lot stronger, grandmother can rest assured", Su Muqing's soft voice carried the power to soothe people's hearts.

"Okay, good" Mrs. Mei patted Su Muqing's hand and said yes, and then took the red envelope that had been prepared long ago from the maid's hand: "Take it, this is the New Year's money given to you by your grandfather and grandmother."

"Thank you grandfather and grandmother", Su Muqing did not refuse, and thanked Master Mei and Mrs. Mei.

"Mu Yang, come here, I haven't seen you for a year, and I've grown a lot taller, this is for you" Mrs. Mei beckoned Su Muyang to receive the red envelope.

"Thank you, grandfather, grandmother!" Su Muyang thanked him with a grin.

"This is Jin An and Mu Rong, come closer and let your grandmother take a good look", Mrs. Mei smiled and beckoned to the two.

Su Jinan and Su Murong stepped forward as they said and let Mrs. Mei look at them. At the same time, Su Jinan also carefully observed the two old men in front of him, Master Mei was about sixty years old, wearing a light brown ruyi cloud pattern robe, his hair was meticulously tied with sandalwood hairpins, he looked a little thin but his face was ruddy, and he was an old man with a lot of energy. Mrs. Mei was a little blessed, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Mei Ru, and the lotus-colored outlining treasure pattern dress made her look particularly kind and kind.

"Look, multi-mark child, I know that our Ru'er is a blessed one." Mrs. Mei's face was full of joy and said to Mr. Mei.

"Yes, it's fourteen this year!" Master Mei looked at the grandson in front of him and closed his mouth happily, urging Mrs. Mei: "Quickly bring the red envelope."

Su Jin'an and Su Murong took the red envelope and thanked each other, and Mrs. Mei pulled Su Jinan to her side.

After talking in the house for a while, Master Mei and Su Mu took the three boys to the outer courtyard, leaving Mrs. Mei's mother and daughter to talk about themselves together, accompanied by Su Jin'an.

At some point, some snow particles floated outside, which seemed to be sprinkled on people in the cold wind, making the people in the courtyard wrap their cotton clothes even tighter.

Different from the cold outside, Mrs. Mei in the house is talking to her daughter about her thoughts and care that she has saved for more than ten years, and the warm atmosphere is unbearable.

Mrs. Mei watched Su Jinan sit quietly on the side, without the slightest impatience, with a calm and elegant bearing, and her daughter raised her granddaughter very well. However, Mrs. Mei still complained a little: "You are really, you didn't tell us about such a big thing, and you actually hid it from us for more than ten years."

"Mother, I can't help it, An'er was born in a very bad situation, dying, I'm scared when I think about it now, what the chief said is reasonable, An'er has a catastrophe in her life, and she can only escape this catastrophe safely if she is not known by outsiders before the age of thirteen, so I didn't tell my family." Mei told her mother about Su Jin'an's identity that she had discussed with Su Mu before, and although she had done a good job of building her heart, Mei still felt a little guilty about lying to her mother.

"Alas, the parents in the world don't do everything for the good of their children, I don't blame you, I just feel a little wronged." Old Madam Mei took Su Jin'an's hand and said to Mei.

"Grandmother, I don't feel wronged, my parents love me very much, my brothers and brothers let me, I live a very happy life." Su Jinan held Mrs. Mei's somewhat old palm to comfort her.

"What a sensible and good boy", Mrs. Mei looked at Su Jin'an lovingly.

"Mo Yuan, you go and bring the piece of raw jade that Xu'er brought a few years ago", Old Madam Mei instructed the big maid beside her. Raw jade, that is, jade raw stone, is a jade raw material that has not been processed and carved, and can be cut and polished by itself.

"An'er, I look at this piece of jade well, when you have time, ask your mother to help you find a better craftsman to make a few pieces of jewelry you like, it is a little bit of grandmother's heart, you are not allowed to refuse", Mrs. Mei stopped Su Jin'an's words.

Su Jinan looked at her mother with some embarrassment, she felt that this piece of jade must be very valuable, it was her love for her granddaughter, but Su Jinan was not her own granddaughter, so Su Jinan felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, just take it, your grandmother cherishes you", Mei said to Su Jin'an.

"Old lady, the jade you want." At this time, Mo Yuan had already taken the jade, which was a one-foot-high mahogany box, which looked a little heavy.

Mrs. Mei opened the box, and inside was a whole piece of jade the size of a cabbage, although it had not been polished, it could still be seen that it was a piece of jade of good color.

"Put it away quickly, if you have anything to want in the future, just tell your grandmother, your grandmother will satisfy you", Mrs. Mei motioned to Mo Yuan to give the box to Su Jin'an.

"Thank you grandmother, that granddaughter will often come to her grandmother to Taobao shellfish in the future", Su Jinan motioned for Xia Qu to put away the box, and said a little mischievously to Mrs. Mei.

"Okay, okay, you can come", Old Madam Mei said to Su Jinan while laughing.

There was a cheerful laugh from time to time in the room, and it was not until lunchtime that the conversation and laughter in it gradually stopped. When Master Mei and Su Mu brought the children to dinner, they looked at the mother and daughter who were still unsatisfied and said, "Didn't Ru'er say that you would stay for a few more days this year, do you have anything to say slowly?"

Then everyone got together for lunch, and Master Mei sighed with emotion: "When Xu'er comes back from her mother's house tomorrow with her daughter-in-law, our family can have a real reunion dinner", everyone is looking forward to it, and Mei Ru also misses her brother who has not seen her for many years.

The meal was enjoyable, and after the meal, Mrs. Mei urged everyone to rest, and everyone dispersed.

Mei Ru took Su Mu and a few children to rest in the courtyard where she lived before she got married, after so many years, this courtyard is still the same as it was at the beginning, Mei Ru's heart is warm, only when she is a parent can she know how deep her parents' love is.

Mei Ru went to her mother's yard early in the afternoon, and when Su Jin'an arrived, they had already talked from Huailing to the capital, from trivial matters of life to the major events of the children's lives. Mrs. Mei said to Mei Ru: "The children are not young, you should also think about their marriage, especially Mu Qing, he is twenty years old and has not yet married, this marriage, the more it drags on, the worse it is, your brother's eldest son is one year older than Mu Qing and has been married for two years." ”

"Mother, I know that I am indeed a little anxious about Mu Qing's marriage, but you also know that Mu Qing ......" Mei Ru was a little embarrassed.

"I know that Mu Qing's health is not good, it is a disease brought by his mother's womb, but even if he is not in good health, our family is enough for ordinary girls." Mrs. Mei continued.

"But Mu Qing doesn't want to, he always says that he doesn't want to delay other girls, he doesn't want to get married, I don't want to force him."

"Mu Qing has been a smart and sensible child since he was a child, he keeps everything in his heart, and he doesn't want us to worry, but the more he is like this, the more I feel sorry for him, and I also said two family affairs for him when I was in Huailing, but he was always unwilling, I didn't want to wronged him, so it didn't work out, I discussed it with my husband, and now we just hope that he can be safe, healthy and healthy, if he really has no intention of marrying, let him go." Mei Ru explained to Mrs. May.

"Alas, he is also a child with a hard life, you husband and wife should know it in their hearts." Mrs. Mei watched Su Muqing be born, she knew the situation very well at that time, she was also very grateful to God that her grandson could grow up safely, since her daughter and son-in-law had decided, she naturally would not object, as long as her grandson was happy, it was more important than anything else.

Seeing Su Jin'an coming in, Mei Ru changed the topic and said some interesting stories about the children when they were young. Su Jin'an greeted Mrs. Mei, and talked for a while before it was time for dinner. The dinner was used in Mrs. Mei's yard, it was a hearty and warm dinner, there were plum blossom soup cakes that Su Mu liked, there were also lotus fish buns that Mei Ru liked, and walnut pork roasted waist that children loved, taking care of everyone's preferences, Su Jinan ate happily, and ate an extra bowl of wine-stuffed balls.
