Chapter 204: Grounding
"The concubine has seen the county lord Ruihe," Mrs. Lu took her second son, Ren, who had not been married for a long time, to greet Li Jingyi and her party at the second gate, and bowed her knees.
On the way here, Li Jingyi had already inquired about Mrs. Lu from Qin Liniang, she was also from Jiangxi, and she was also the niece of the old lady of the Wang family, after marrying into the Wang family, in addition to the eldest daughter who died in childbirth, she also gave birth to two sons Wang Hongju and Wang Hongxue, and a daughter has been married in the capital.
"Mrs. In-law is polite," Li Jingyi nodded at Mrs. Lu, and Huan Sheng had already stepped forward to help Mrs. Lu up.
"It's really an unexpected surprise for the county lord to descend to the cold house," Mrs. Lu smiled on her face, but her gaze at Mrs. Lan and Qin Liniang was quite unkind, especially this Qin Liniang, she was simply a troublemaker, didn't she know the truth that women marry chickens and follow chickens? I don't want to think about it, if it goes on like this, how will Qin Qianniang live in her husband's house in the future?
"I didn't expect my in-laws and aunts to come over, it's really a rare guest,"
Qin Liniang is the eldest sister in the Qin family, and she is also the eldest daughter-in-law in the Wang family, and she is used to being the master of the house, Mrs. Lu's expression was naturally seen clearly by her, and she replied with a smile, "It's not a rare guest, before my brother got married, I accompanied the third aunt to visit the second sister, but unfortunately, no one saw ......."
The matter was not finally figured out, Mrs. Lan didn't dare to make the relationship with her in-laws too stiff, and said with a smile, "Please also ask Mrs. to take us over to see the old lady." ”
Lu's second daughter-in-law, Mao, has not figured out what happened at home, she only knew that her sister-in-law was pregnant, and she was originally very happy, but then I don't know how, the two couples in the sister-in-law's room made a fuss, and then the mother-in-law went, and the sister-in-law was grounded in her own yard. ”
Old Mrs. Lu is indeed coming to the second gate, if Li Jingyi doesn't come today, she doesn't have to make this trip, but the Qin family moved such a big Buddha, no matter how senior she is, she has to endure her anger and come out to pick it up in person.
"Old Mrs. Lu is too polite, she is my cousin's grandmother-in-law, how dare we force her to move her old man's house?" Li Jingyi looked at the timid Mao beside the Lu family, and helped Mrs. Lan with a smile, "Third aunt, let's go to the old lady's yard quickly, and save the old lady another run." ”
Li Jingyi gave face to her in-laws, and she was also making face for herself, Mrs. Lan patted Li Jingyi gratefully holding her hand, and said to Mrs. Lu, "What the county lord said is that he also asked his in-laws to lead the way." ”
Li Jingyi's legs and feet are faster than Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu has not left the yard yet, there is already a rumor over there that the county lord and the wife of the in-laws have arrived, and Mrs. Lu was reluctant to accept it, so she simply pretended to be inconvenient and waited directly in her yard.
In addition to Wang Wenqing's room, the Wang family also has a brother who is the prefect of Baoji in Shaanxi, Li Jingyi has a clean view of the Wang family all the way, although this mansion is not big, but it is also a carved beam painting building is extremely luxurious, and it took a lot of effort to find this family for his daughter at the beginning.
"The concubine has seen the county lord," Li Jingyi and everyone entered the house, and Mrs. Lu would not be really stupid to take the shelf again, and helped the second daughter-in-law Han next to her to give Li Jingyi a gift.
"Old lady, please get up," Li Jingyi stepped forward and personally helped Old Lady Lu up, "Ruihe is a junior, and the old lady must not be too polite." ”
After Mrs. Lu and Li Jingyi were seated, the Lu family and the Han family came over to greet Li Jingyi again, and everyone sat down.
Li Jingyi didn't go around in circles with them, and said with a smile, "A few days ago, I went to my uncle's house for a banquet, and I learned that Qianniang's sister was sick, and she is now pregnant with a difficult pregnancy. ”
The lord of Ruihe is here, and he still brings the imperial doctor?
Lu Shi looked at the mother-in-law who was sitting on the top of the house in embarrassment, and listened to Mrs. Lu said, "Alas, the concubine is this granddaughter-in-law, and the person who gave birth is clever, since she married into the door, her mother praised her with me almost every day, no, less than two years after entering the door, and she was pregnant, our Wang family protected her like an eyeball, but I didn't expect that there was still a mistake, so that she suffered from the cold, but she was pregnant with her body, and refused to use medicine well. I specially asked the eldest brother to take her to live in another courtyard, where it is quiet and the scenery is good......"
Went to another hospital? Li Jingyi smiled, "This is also the old lady's kindness, even I am happy for my sister when I hear it, but I don't know which other courtyard my sister went to?" It's still early in the morning, so it's too late for us to go there. ”
How dare the Wang family really send Qin Qianniang to live in another courtyard? This is just a remark that I don't want Li Jingyi to see her, "Ah, our house is not as good as the eldest princess's mansion, and outsiders can't buy a good place when they enter Beijing, which is Perfume Town, dozens of miles away from here, if the county lord and his wife go over, I'm afraid I will have to go back the next day!" ”
"It turned out to be the courtyard of your mansion in Perfume Town," Li Jingyi smiled slightly, looking at the cheers around her.
The cheers came out in response, and he bent his knees and said, "The old lady who returned to her in-laws, early last morning, the county lord sent the steward of our house to take people to the Zhuangzi and other courtyards of Master Tongzheng in Perfume Town, Qinghe Town, and Yangming Town, and I didn't hear that the eldest young grandmother and the eldest young master went over. ”
Mrs. Lu never expected that Li Jingyi would have this trick waiting for her, her eyes turned black with anger, and she was about to fall back, and she was quick to shoot her hands and eyes, and she jumped to Mrs. Lu with an arrow step, and held her up, "Old lady, the slave didn't say anything inappropriate, you can't fall!" Otherwise, the slave and maid will kneel and die in the king's house! ”
"Mother," Lu Shi never expected that the maid brought by Li Jingyi was not a big person, but it was a difficult person, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the old lady Lu from Huan Sheng's hand, "I don't dare to work this sister,"
"Come on, go and ask Imperial Doctor Guo to come in, first stroke the old lady's pulse," these so-called old ladies and old ladies have never seen the tricks that fall at every turn, but I have heard Zhou Yan talk about her "sick" mother-in-law, "There is one more thing I also told my in-laws, I also sent someone to the south gate yesterday to ask, and in the past half a month, I have not seen the family of Lord Tongzheng leave Beijing,"
Any excuse for going back to your hometown to raise a baby, it's best not to say it outside.
The Lu family is also the daughter of a scholar's family, because of her husband's identity, most of the people she deals with on weekdays are the family members of civil officials, everyone is used to talking and doing things in a tortuous way, like Li Jingyi, it is really the first time I have seen it, she looked at Mrs. Lan who had been silent with hatred, "Why did the wife of the in-laws force the Wang family to come here?" ”
So far, Mrs. Lan has only one thought, which is to see her daughter with her own eyes, "Mrs. Lu, we have nothing else to ask for when we go to the house, we just want to see Qianniang, even if Qianniang has married the wife of the Wang family, but she is the daughter of the Qin family after all, there is no one who can't see her mother's family, right?" ”
Qin Liniang sneered, "Don't say that my sister is now pregnant with the heir of your Wang family, she has committed seven mistakes, and there is no rule that the mother's family will see, Mrs. Lu, if there is anything we can sit down and discuss it slowly when we see Qianniang, our Qin and Wang families are also families with heads and faces, do you have to tear your face and call the people of the capital to see jokes?" ”
Old Mrs. Lu had already relieved herself, she sat up straight from the couch, pursed her thin lips, and said in a deep voice, "What Grandma Wang said is that the Qin family is also a family with a head and a face, when Qin Shilang was alive, he was also a two-rank jinshi, born in Hanlin, and the Qin family's generational name is clear, so naturally it will not be ruined by a mere daughter, Lu's family, you take your in-laws to see Qianniang." ”
There was no way to avoid it, Mrs. Lu bent her knees and walked up to Li Jingyi and Mrs. Lan, "County Lord, Mrs. In-laws, please come with me." ”
Li Jingyi stood up from the chair, looked at Mrs. Lu and said softly, "Old lady, each family has its own measurements, maybe in the eyes of the old lady and the Wang family, the daughter's family is just a 'mere female stream' is not worth mentioning, but in the Qin family, the daughter and the son are both flesh and blood, the son can't give up, and the daughter can't give up,"
She smiled slightly, "It's Sage Kong, without this mere daughter's family, wouldn't you not be able to come to this world?" ”
After speaking, she didn't give Mrs. Lu a chance to reply, and went straight out of the house.
Mao cautiously looked at the old lady Lu with a blue face, her neck shrunk, and quietly followed her mother-in-law out of Mrs. Lu's yard, she was too curious, and asked her husband why her eldest brother and sister-in-law quarreled, and why her sister-in-law was locked up in the yard, but her husband refused to tell her, now that she has the opportunity to see Qin Qianniang, Mao naturally can't let it go.
As the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of the Wang family, Qin Qianniang's yard is in a good location, and it is quite close to the yard where Mrs. Lu lives, but along the way, none of the five people spoke, Mrs. Lan was worried about her daughter, and her feet were fast, and she even walked in front of Mrs. Lu who led the way.
"Mrs. in-laws, don't worry, Qian Niang is nothing serious," left and right Imperial Doctor Guo diagnosed, and couldn't hide anything, Mrs. Lu simply said, "She just got angry with the dog, and she was not happy." ”
Hearing Mrs. Lu say that her daughter was fine, Mrs. Lan's heart was half relieved, and she turned around and sneered, "It seems that this anger is not ordinary, I can ask Mrs. to lock up the pregnant eldest daughter-in-law!" ”
"It's better for my in-laws to tell me first, save Qian Niang, and then I will listen to and believe and be a confused mother-in-law," Mrs. Lan really thought about it, the more angry she became, her daughter was pregnant for a few months, and she was still frustrated by her in-laws, she simply wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to take her daughter away directly.
