Chapter 34: The Guest

Banxia was praised by Mama Li, she was very happy, and she was ordered to retreat.

Mama Li was thinking about going to the old lady's room to test it, but a maid from the Jin family of Qiuhengyuan came to report, saying that the Jin family invited her to go to the "Yiyan Hall" to discuss the purchase of summer clothes in the house this year.

Mama Li thought about it for a while, and went to the "Yiyantang" first.

At this time, the porter received a post from the He family, but today it was the post of the wife of the He family. This time, the Li family didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so they took the post and went straight to Songling Hospital.

When the Li family arrived at Songling Courtyard, they did not see Mama Li in the inverted room, but they met Mama Chang.

The Li family hurriedly greeted him and said, "Mama Chang, Mrs. He has sent a post, you see?" ”

Mama Chang smiled: "You come with me." ”

Mama Chang took the Li family to the Sun family's main room, left the Li family waiting outside the door curtain, and lifted the curtain herself into the main room.

"Old lady, Mrs. He is here." Mama Chang respectfully handed the prayer post to the Tao.

Sun put down the scroll of scriptures in his hand, took the red gilded post in Mama Chang's hand and looked at it.

"Since you're here, let's see you."

Mama Chang answered and walked out of the main room, and said to the waiting Li family: "The old lady invites Mrs. He and Mrs. He Shao into the house." ”

The Li family went to the order.

After only half a cup of tea, the Li family brought the two ladies here. Mama Chang was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw someone coming, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Mrs. He, Mrs. He Shao, the old lady is waiting, please come with me." Mama Chang smiled.

Mrs. He saw this Mama Chang yesterday, and knew that she was able to enter the mansion today thanks to the Mama by Mrs. Wang's side, so she didn't dare to hold it up, so she went up and took Mama Chang's hand and said affectionately: "Mama Lao is waiting here." Without a trace, he stuffed a purse into Mama Chang's sleeve.

Mama Chang didn't shirk it, and took it generously with a smile.

Mama Chang led Mrs. He and Mrs. He to the door of the Sun family, and immediately a little girl went in to pay tribute.

After a while, the little girl opened the curtain and said, "The old lady invites Mrs. He and Mrs. He Shao to go in." ”

Mrs. He glanced at Mrs. He, Mrs. He stroked her sleeves and followed behind Mrs. He with low eyebrows.

"Old lady, Mrs. He and Mrs. He Shao have come to greet you." Mama Chang stepped forward and said to Sun.

Mrs. He and Mrs. He Shao hurriedly stepped forward to give the Sun family a junior salute to the Sun family who was sitting on the Luohan bed on the red sandalwood screen.

"No need to be polite, sit down." Sun raised his hand with a smile, and instructed Mama Chang again: "Let the girls serve tea, just use the previous spring tea, the new summer tea sent from the south a few days ago tasted a little bitter, they don't like it, I'm afraid the guests won't be used to it." ”

Mama Chang responded with a smile, told the little maids waiting at the door to prepare tea quickly, and went back to Sun's side to wait.

"I came to say hello yesterday, but unfortunately you have guests, so you have to go back first. I rushed early today, thinking that no one rushed to our mother and son this time. Mrs. He said with a smile.

Sun laughed when he heard this: "Look at your sharp mouth, this is blaming me for neglecting your junior yesterday." ”

Mrs. He hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, this Qingcheng County knows that the wives of dignitaries and nobles who come to the mansion every day to see them don't know how to go, and not everyone can see them." The younger generation can get past those officials and wives today and you have to see it in person, that is because you value the younger generation. ”

Sun nodded and smiled: "Since you are my sister-in-law's junior, that is also my junior, you still remember that it is also my blessing to come to my old woman to ask for Anna." ”

Mrs. He on the side said: "Mother has long thought about coming to see you, but she is afraid that she will come and disturb you. This time, it was because my mother got an extremely rare blood lingzhi and wanted to come to honor you, so she took me to ask for a meeting with a cheeky face. ”

After Mrs. He finished speaking, she glanced at Mrs. He, and saw that Mrs. He didn't blame her for interjecting, and her heart was a little relieved.

"Blood Lingzhi?" Sun Shi was surprised: "That's really a rare thing, I saw one when I was still young in the capital." ”

Mrs. He Shao hurriedly said: "It is said that the sword is given to heroes, and this spiritual object can only be used by the right person." Old lady, you are the person who has the most experience in the whole Qingcheng County for the way of health, it is said that this blood Ganoderma lucidum can nourish the face and benefit life, so naturally you use your talents to not disgrace it. ”

Hearing this, Sun smiled at Mrs. He and said, "Look at your daughter-in-law's sweet mouth, you are a blessed one." ”

Mrs. He shook her head and said, "You don't know, this kid has a straight temperament, and he doesn't help me offend people when he talks on weekdays." Then he turned his head and instructed Mrs. He: "Go and bring the Lingzhi." ”

Mrs. He and Mrs. He came in empty-handed, and the gift box was held in the hands of the grandmother who followed behind, and the grandmother was waiting outside the main room at this time.

Mrs. He Shao went out for a while, and when she came in, she was already holding a half-foot square red sandalwood bone carved pine crane box in her hand.

Mama Chang took Mrs. He's box and presented it to Sun.

Mama Chang stepped forward to help Sun uncover the lid of the box, and a palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum that was as red as blood appeared in front of everyone. Rao is the Sun family is well-informed, and he can't help but be moved when he sees such a treasure in Ganoderma lucidum.

"It's a spiritual thing." Sun looked at it for a moment, said admiringly, and closed the lid again.

"It's just such a valuable gift, you better take it back."

Mrs. He and Mrs. He Shao were stunned, and Mrs. He Shao was even more anxious: "The old lady is not satisfied with this gift?" We can ......."

"Min'er" Mrs. He softly stopped Mrs. He Shao, and smiled at Sun: "The old lady shouldn't see the outside, the younger generations have been ashamed to come to the door for so many years, and this time I came to see you, and I can still get my hands on this Ganoderma lucidum." You don't know that our merchants always deal with the copper coins with the square hole, and it is inevitable that they will be contaminated with some tacky on their bodies, and in order to pick a gift that does not look tacky, the younger generation has rummaged through the treasury at home, and the old lady must not dislike it. ”

Sun smiled, took a sip of the tea bowl in his hand, and did not answer.

Mrs. He smiled again: "Why don't you see a few young ladies in the house?" I have always heard that the ladies of the Wang family are dignified in appearance, graceful in character, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I was fortunate to meet the third lady in the house, and she was really a good talent. ”

Sun raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Oh? Have you ever seen Sanniang? ”

Mrs. He explained: "That time I went to Qingming Temple to go to the house after the incense, and I happened to meet the third lady of the house entering the temple, and I saw it from afar. ”

Sun suddenly said: "If this is the case, it is also fate." After thinking about it, he instructed the licorice on the side and said, "You go to the Hefeng Courtyard to see what the third lady is doing, and let her come to meet the guests." ”

Licorice answered.

When Licorice arrived at Hefeng Courtyard, Sanniang was embroidering a picture of Na Fu Shoubi Nanshan, and although she was a little surprised to hear that Sun asked her to go to Songling Courtyard to meet guests, she immediately smiled and said: "Sister Licorice, wait a minute, I will change into a guest and follow you." ”

After a while, Sanniang put on a slightly softer tooth-colored gown and came out. Seeing that Sanniang took off the white silk flower on her head and inserted a small white hairpin instead, Licorice couldn't help but nod herself secretly.
