Mrs. Xu was happily taking He Ningxin to the cultivation hall to see Mrs. He.

He Ningxin is actually the third daughter born to Xu. There are also two daughters in front of her, both of whom died at the age of two, and there are no prelude teeth. So when He Ningxin was born, Xu and He Siping's love for their daughters was poured into He Ningxin, but who knew that she had raised a cow-hearted and eccentric temper. The husband and wife can still raise their son properly, but they are reluctant to say a word about this daughter.

Since He Ningxin was sensible, she could only follow her, and no one dared to disobey her. Later, for some reason, He Ningxin became more and more estranged from her own mother, but she became more and more intimate with the second aunt in the second room. also told people more than once that she wished she was the biological daughter of her second aunt. The Li family in the second room took advantage of the situation to hug He Ningxin.

The person in charge of the He family is He Siping outside, and He Siping's wife Xu on the inside. Because Xu and He Siping obeyed He Ningxin's words, the Li family instigated He Ningxin, so that she reaped a lot of benefits for herself, and even wanted to get involved in the housekeeping of the inner courtyard. After He Ningxin made a lot of trouble a few times, the Xu family had no choice but to hand over some of the power of management to the Li family. I only hold the big head of money and silver, and I don't have to go to the big folds.

Because of this, the Li family is also very close to He Ningxin, and even his own biological daughter is behind, which makes Li's real biological daughter He Ningyu grit his teeth with hatred.

All this, He Ningxin is embarrassed to think about it now. It's a pity that she doesn't know what this Miss He thinks, how could she do such a thing that is painful to relatives and happy to outsiders. Thinking of the last trace of regret when the original body drowned, He Ningxin understood that since God had reborn her in Miss He, she had to live a good life again on her behalf, so as not to have the virtue of a good life in vain.

Following Mrs. Xu to the cultivation and reading hall, He Ningxin quietly looked around. I saw that this was a very ordinary farmhouse-like house, with white walls and black tiles, and it was extremely clean and tidy.

Seeing Mrs. Xu coming over with the eldest lady and her party, the subordinates in the cultivation and reading hall hurriedly greeted them and saluted Mrs. Xu and He Ningxin: "I have seen Mrs. and Miss." ”

Mrs. He smiled and asked, "Is my mother in the house?" ”

Mama Ning from the Cultivation and Reading Hall hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Back to Mrs., the old lady is still busy in the back garden." ”

There is an open space in the backyard of the Cultivation and Reading Hall, which is fenced off with a bamboo fence, and there are two fields on the left and right. Mrs. He was born in agriculture and has a very tough body. Even if the eldest son is an official, and the eldest daughter-in-law is well-managed, the He family is no longer a cold family, and Mrs. He still can't help but work in the field every day. Even if it's just planting two small fields in the open space at the back of your yard, it's good to have a good time.

He Siping once persuaded the old lady to stop doing farm work every day. Now that he is an official, he doesn't need his wife to farm to support himself and his younger brother.

But Mrs. He didn't listen at all. She knew that her son was now an official, and she couldn't be a peasant woman in the field like before, which would embarrass her son, but doing farm work was the only thing she would do. She doesn't want to be an old lady who does nothing all day long, only knows how to eat and be lazy, and let people serve, she prefers to support herself. Eating the food and vegetables he grows, he walks more energetically

Mrs. Xu knew the old lady's thoughts, and she also admired the old lady's character very much, so she only instructed the subordinates of the cultivation and reading hall to pay more attention to the old lady's body and not let the old lady be too tired. If you have a headache and brain fever, you have to report it immediately.

He Ningxin followed Mrs. Xu into the main house of the Cultivation and Reading Hall, and looked at the simple furniture inside, secretly surprised in her heart. Regarding the old lady He who was about to meet, He Ningxin was a little curious. In the memory of this Miss He, the position occupied by Mrs. He was nothing.

"Daughter-in-law, you're here, is Xin'er better? I just plucked some small cabbage and leeks from the greenhouse, and made a wolfberry cabbage for Xin'er at night, and scrambled eggs with leeks, which was appetizing and nourishing. Old Lady He's loud voice came from the back hall.

Mrs. Xu went into the back hall and helped Mrs. He out.

At this time, it was the end of the first month, and it was still freezing in the capital. However, thanks to the blessing of Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty, greenhouse vegetables in winter are nothing new. People who have some money and status in the family have one or two glass conservatories in their backyards.

Mrs. He did a good job of farm work. In winter, cucumbers and cabbages are raised smartly, more than others, and they mature early. The He family has entrusted Mrs. He's blessings, and in winter, there are also green vegetables to eat.

When He Ningxin saw Mrs. He coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said to Mrs. He: "My granddaughter is not filial, please say hello to my grandmother." "The posture is very elegant and dignified.

Mrs. He was taken aback. This granddaughter hates coming to the cultivation hall the most on weekdays. When I saw my grandmother, I rarely spoke. In the past, when she was a child, she wanted to get close to this eldest granddaughter, but she cried so loudly that she didn't even let herself touch her hands, but now she greeted herself affectionately.

Mrs. He felt a little dazzled, and quickly blinked her eyes vigorously, and was about to reach out to help He Ningxin up. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Mrs. He saw that she had just eaten vegetables in the greenhouse in her hand, and she was stained with mud in her hand, so she hurriedly retracted it, and smiled awkwardly at He Ningxin: "Xin'er, is it grandma's." Grandma is going to wash her hands, don't mess up our beautiful shirts. "It's very simple.

He Ningxin smiled slightly, got up and held Mrs. He's hand, and said, "Let my granddaughter accompany grandma to the clean room to wash her hands." While speaking, she had already changed her title with Mrs. He, and called her "grandma" instead. He personally helped Mrs. He's arm, and under the leadership of the two maids, walked to the clean room.

Mrs. He has lived most of her life, and it is the first time she is close to her beloved granddaughter, and she is so happy that she walks happily. Along the way, he kept retracting his hand, and hurriedly said to He Ningxin: "Xin'er, grandma has mud on her hands, don't get your hands dirty." He Ningxin looked at He Ningxin's little hand like mutton fat jade, which was already stained with some dirt.

"Grandma is fine. We'll just wash our hands later. He Ningxin smiled and comforted Mrs. He.

The two went into the clean room together, scooped water and washed their hands. Together with Mrs. Xu, I went to the main courtyard for dinner.

The He family is not separated, and every morning the meal is eaten in their own rooms. Only in the evening is the whole family sitting together for dinner.

He Ningxin helped Mrs. He to the main room of the main courtyard and saw that a large round table was already placed inside. The position at the top is Mrs. He's. Mrs. He's left and right hands are the eldest master He Siping and the second old man He Sida.

Next to He Siping, it was Mrs. Xu, He Ningxin, and He Ningxin's eldest brother He Ningqi, as well as his wife Su Shi and his son He Xingyuan.

Next to He Sida's side, of course, is the Li family, her son He Ningfeng, daughter He Ningyu, and a concubine He Ningchun. The second master, He Sida, has a concubine, Aunt Liu, who does not come to eat with the He family.

He Ningxin looked at the past one by one, and according to the appearance in her memory, she saluted and greeted the people present.

He Siping had just returned from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he had already changed into his regular clothes and sat upright. Seeing his mother come in with his wife and daughter, he hurriedly got up and beckoned Mrs. He to sit in the middle of the head.

He Ningxin stood aside with Mrs. Xu, looked carefully, and saw that He Siping was about forty and almost fifty. The three strands of hair on the face hung down slightly, and the facial features were handsome and sparse, and it really lived up to the name of the champion Lang who was personally awarded the title of "beautiful appearance" by the first emperor Longqing Emperor Yukou. He is now the second grade of the Inspector Zuo Yushi, and he can be regarded as making the best use of his things and getting his own place. ——I heard that He Siping is upright and square, and the position of inspector of the imperial history should be very suitable for him.

After Mrs. He sat down, He Siping walked up to Mrs. Xu and asked He Ningxin gently on the side, "Xin'er, how are you?" If you still feel unwell, don't brace yourself, just let your maid help you down to rest. ”

He Ningxin hurriedly bowed to He Si and smiled, "Thank you...... Daddy misses. My daughter is already very good. She is still a little unaccustomed to calling He Siping her father.

He Siping immediately keenly felt that He Ningxin's attitude was different, and he was very pleased, and glanced at Mrs. Xu beside him.

Mrs. Xu bowed slightly to him, and pulled He Ningxin to sit on the table together.

Dinner was set up one after another.

When He Ningxin just woke up, she had already eaten in her room. When she was still Pei Shufan before, she was taught by the Pei family's family rules to teach her daughter to cherish blessings and maintain her body. Therefore, at the banquet, she only drank a few sips of the millet porridge presented to her. It was Mrs. He who personally told her that coarse grains support people, and don't worry about eating those fine things.

He Ningxin responded with a smile, holding a spoon and slowly stirring it in the porridge bowl.

Cousin He Ningyu saw it from the side, and couldn't help but sneer: "Eldest sister, don't force yourself to eat if you don't want to eat." If you keep stirring around like this, even if you withdraw it for a while, no one will eat it. ”

He Ningxin looked up at He Ningyu and said with a smile: "This porridge was specially ordered by my grandmother to make it for me, I like to eat tight." - How can you give it to your subordinates? My sister was too worried. ”

He Ningyu looked at He Ningxin's expression attentively, pursed his lips and smiled: "Eldest sister, let's change positions." Didn't you like to sit next to my mother the most? "This trick was used by He Ningyu to play with He Ningxin in the past, and he tried all kinds of things.

He Ningxin listened, but she just put down the spoon, pulled Mrs. Xu's arm and hugged her in her arms, and said to He Ningyu with a smile: "You want to sit next to my mother, right?" - My mother is mine, don't you want to rob it? ”

He Ningyu was choked and his face turned red. The second wife, Li, knew that He Ningxin had changed since she woke up from falling into the water, and she was busy tugging at He Ningyu's skirt under the table.

He Ningyu was used to He Ningxin's play, and he couldn't turn around all of a sudden, so he looked at He Ningxin at the table and sneered: "I don't know who is crying and shouting to call someone else to be a mother?" - Now pretend to be a bunch of people......"

He Ningxin smiled, let go of Mrs. Xu's arm, and slowly sat up straight. She knew that the cousin He Ningyu in the second room, as well as the second wife Li, had a too strange attitude towards He Ningxin. However, after wiping it slightly, He Ningyu really couldn't hold his breath.

He Siping put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice to He Ningyu: "You talk to your sister like this?" No up, no down, no big, no small" looked at He Sida on the other side of Mrs. He, and said, "Second brother, if you don't raise it, it's my father's fault." Your daughter should also be disciplined. ”

He Sida was most afraid of his eldest brother, so he hurriedly got up and bowed down and said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will scold her when I go back." ”

He Ningyu was annoyed and angry, stood up and said, "Uncle is also eccentric. It's obviously her ......" pointed at He Ningxin, who was sitting opposite, angry.

Li Shi hurriedly got up and pulled down He Ningyu's outstretched arm, and scolded softly: "Your uncle has spoken, Yu'er must not be unreasonable" Now their family lives on the big house, before that happens, Li dare not let his daughter He Ningyu offend the eldest man He Siping.
