Chapter Eighty-Eight: The British Mansion
Between the words of the brother and sister, the gate of the Meng family was in front of them.
Fu Lu had already driven forward, and Hearts just glanced at his door from afar, and then sat back in the car unhappily, lowering the curtain as if lazy to face reality.
Meng Liangcai knew her unhappiness, and hurriedly said with relief: "Sister don't worry, that matter will naturally ......"
"Brother," Hearts interrupted him in the car, "If I say it again, I'm afraid that even the relationship between you and me will be thin." β
Meng Liangcai immediately stopped talking, and after a while, there was only a sigh.
β¦β¦
The British Mansion is in the west of the capital, from the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion past, not very close, but not very far either.
When Xie Xiaoyu and Zhao's car drove to the door, there was already a mother-in-law waiting there, and after respectfully welcoming people into the second gate, they saw a slightly shorter woman dressed in a homely dress surrounded by several servants.
Seeing them come in, the woman came up first and pulled Xie Xiaoyu away, chanted the Buddha and said with a smile:
"Ouch, it's a bodhisattva who is looking forward to it, these days I started to read it from the moment I opened my eyes, we persuaded it to be inconvenient to take a look, but we refused, and we were not allowed to go, for fear of hindering your recuperation, look at it today, but it's very good, but it's just a little thinner."
Xie Xiaoyu looked at the woman, although she still had no expression, her eyes were very soft, and she curtled her knees and said:
"Second aunt."
The Duchess of England today.
It's just that her gift is not complete, the second lady has already held Xie Xiaoyu, and she is about to go inside, and said, "What is it for a family to stand at the door and talk?" Let's go, it's all waiting for you inside. β
Throw Zhao behind.
Zhao didn't move, just smiled behind him and said, "Yo, does this mean I don't have to come?" Then I'll go back first. β
The second lady turned around and said with a smile: "I have a niece and daughter, what else do I want your sister-in-law to do?" β
Zhao laughed, turned around and was about to leave, but the second lady stretched out her hand, grabbed her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Look at the sister-in-law, she will be jealous." Sister-in-law, don't blame, sister-in-law, please, this is all home, why do you want to have a cup of tea before leaving? Or, I'll carry you in? β
The servants laughed, and Zhao threw a handkerchief on her shoulder: "you, it's a pity for the girl's birthday today, but you are not in shape as a mother." β
The second lady hugged Zhao's arm: "What kind of shape do I want with my sister-in-law?" Sister-in-law hurts me, go inside, I've been waiting for this for a long time. β
β¦β¦
When this group of people swept to the main house, the already lively house was even more noisy.
The old lady had been waiting there with her family for a long time, and when they met, there was not much miserable crying, but everyone said things like "it's good to come back" and "lose weight".
The Xie family was a family that was knighted for military merit when the Kang Dynasty was founded. The same family of the founding ministers, or guilty, or the descendants of the unfilial piety and the family business, continue to this day, but only the British Gongxie family and the Zhenguo Gongqian family remain.
If you talk about the reason, in addition to the fact that the Xie family is also really lucky, several court changes have stood in the right position, but also because the Xie family is almost not involved in political affairs, although they have a deep foundation in the army, they are not very strong in military power, and they are only dedicated to protecting the country.
Because of this, the Xie family is rarely involved with Wenchen, and several daughters-in-law of this generation, except for Xie Chunshan's original wife and third wife, even if they are literate and hyphenated, they are all the daughters of colleagues in the army, and they are free and easy people in their temperament.
Besides, the people who are in the army have always believed that it is a good thing for people to come back alive, so they will only be happy, where will they cry and cry? Even the grandmother, whose eyes were red, cried with joy.
After everyone was in turmoil, Xie Xiaoyu asked her grandmother for peace again, and then asked a few aunts for peace: in addition to the second lady, the third lady's mood was still heartless; The fourth lady's expression was not very good as Xie Xiaoyu's memory; The fifth lady was pregnant with Rokkaβand then she greeted her two sisters-in-law and two cousins, and then she was held in her arms by her grandmother and sat down beside her.
"I'm still thin." The old lady touched Xie Xiaoyu's cheek and repeated what she had said in the morning, "You can feel the bones, you are not allowed to be picky eaters when you go home this time, you have to be good at life." β
Xie Xiaoyu nodded slightly, but Xie Xiaoxi, who had a birthday today, heard this and laughed out loud:
"Look at what my grandmother said, I see that my big sister is still the same as before."
"Where is the same? The flesh on his face is gone. The old lady said persistently, poked Xie Xiaoyu's cheek, and poked out a pear vortex.
With a snort, the third lady laughed out untimely, but fortunately the others were not theorizing.
Xie Xiaoyu also smiled, the smile was very shallow, but very happy.
In general, the elderly see that the children who are not by their side will always be thin.
Even when my father came back, my grandmother saw that she was "thin, so I need to have a good body." β
Grandmother British old lady is the ninth brother of Emperor Wu - the great-grandfather of Emperor Chengping today - the daughter of King Fu, the lord of the county, this year is already seventy years old, the ancient and rare year of the first product of the wife, full of silver hair for black hair, and because the old lady is thin, it is a little lonely and widowed, when she doesn't talk or laugh outside, it looks difficult to get along.
But for the Xie family, this fifteen-year-old old lady who entered the door and has been from her great-granddaughter-in-law to today's old lady is majestic but also kind, and she is also an excellent mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and grandmother, especially now that she is older, she has left all the housekeeping things to her daughter-in-law, and she only plays with her granddaughters every day, and is happy to be her old birthday star.
After all, according to the old lady's noble background, rich dowry, and three orders, she is exempt from kneeling in front of the emperor today, no matter who is in charge, where can she dare to treat her harshly?
In the old lady's life, her parents were harmonious when she was a daughter, her husband and wife fell in love with each other after she became a mother, she was kind to her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when she was a mother-in-law, she was rich and honorable for a lifetime, and she couldn't find a second one in the capital smoothly.
Of course, the old lady is not an innocent person, whenever there is a major event in the family, she can always hold back, stand firm, and will be able to raise her children whether they are born or not, and she is quite famous in the capital.
is just such a woman, but in her previous life, she was worried about her eldest son and died of a sudden illness.
She hadn't even seen the last of them.
Xie Xiaoyu thought about it, took her grandmother's hand and groped for herself, and said:
"I miss my grandmother."
Because of these words, the old lady's eyes turned red again, she held her in her arms, and patted her gently: "Grandmother also misses the jade girl, just go home." You sisters haven't seen you for a long time, so you don't have to be polite here, let's go to the warm pavilion in the back to play first. Xi'er is a birthday star today, but she has to be a good host. β
Xie Xiaoyu knew that her grandmother had something to ask her mother, and when she nodded and got up, Xie Xiaoxi came over early and pulled her, and her voice was still milky:
"Grandmother, don't worry, Guan Bao will fatten my big sister today."
