Chapter 283: Recognize the Ancestors and Return to the Ancestors
An Sheng is a discerning person, seeing that the old lady has something to deal with, he can't sit still in his seat, and he hurriedly gets up and wants to leave.
The old lady beckoned to her: "Come here, sit next to the old woman and me." ”
An Sheng did as he said, walked to the old lady's bed, helped her sit up, padded it tightly behind her with a quilt, and then covered it with a blanket.
It's just a matter of speaking, and then the ladies came over one after another, and after greeting the old lady, they stood aside, lowered their voices and whispered, not understanding what was going on.
But when he saw An Sheng, he was waiting in front of the old lady, all his eyes flashed, and he had suspicions in his heart.
The Hou Mansion was too big, and by the time the people who went down to give the order entered the courtyard of the old lady with the comers, the ladies in the mansion had basically arrived.
A subordinate came in to communicate: "Enlighten the old lady, someone has already brought it." ”
The old lady smiled slightly, meaningfully: "Let her mother and son come in." ”
The servant answered and went out to give orders, and immediately a woman came in with a child about two or three years old.
The woman is only in her twenties, with a full moon face, high eyebrows, wearing a carmine silver mouse flipped jacket, and a hundred butterflies wearing a flower skirt, with a gesture, quite a bit of romantic charm.
As soon as he entered the room and saw the whole room full of purple and red, he was a little recognized, and cowered behind the woman, clutching the corners of her clothes, and a pair of dark eyes flashed a little timidity.
The woman led the child into the old lady's room, knelt in the middle of the room unhurriedly, and then dragged the child next to her: "Brother Hui, haven't you been clamoring to see your grandmother, grandmother, why don't you kneel down and kowtow quickly?" ”
The child is small, ignorant, and timid, twisting his body and refusing to kneel.
"Hurry up and call someone!" The woman was a little anxious and frowned at the child.
Mrs. Hou Ye opened her mouth first: "This head is not busy knocking first, the matter has not been asked clearly, so I am in a hurry to let the child recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, it is not such a matter for a while." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors? In other words, this child is a descendant of the Hou Mansion. Listening to the title of this woman's suitable talent, it clearly means that this person called "Brother Hui" is the youngest descendant of the Hou Mansion.
Such a child came out of nowhere, and as soon as he came up, he had to kowtow and call his great-grandmother, grandmother, which grandfather's illegitimate son outside the mansion was this?!
The woman smiled wryly, let go of the child, and respectfully kowtowed to the old lady and Mrs. Hou.
"Hua Niang to the old lady, Mrs. please be safe."
The old lady said slowly: "Report your own home." ”
The woman raised her face: "Hua Niang's father is a small businessman and has opened an oil mill in Chen Zhuangzi in the south of the city. Hua Niang is the eldest daughter in the family. ”
It turned out to be the daughter of the Zhuang family, and all the women present had some disdain on their faces, and they breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
The old lady said softly: "If you have anything to do with the house, tell the truth." ”
Hua Niang was a little nervous, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then plucked up the courage to speak: "Hua Niang did bring Brother Hui to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. ”
This confirmed the suspicions of the people, and they all looked at each other with a twinkle of anxiety in their eyes, and they also had a common hatred for the woman on the ground.
Everyone is worried, this Brother Hui recognizes his own pillow person.
An Sheng couldn't help but glance at the woman more, and somehow, he couldn't help but think of the Xue family at the beginning. The Xue family was like this back then, pulling Xia Ziwu, Xia Zixian, holding her stomach, beating to the Xia Mansion, showing off her love with Xia Yuanwai to An Sheng and A-Niang, and letting A-Niang give her a name.
The difference is that this flower girl is still peaceful, with an admiration for the Hou Mansion, and Gao Pan's apprehension, almost a little low-voiced.
And the Xue family was so arrogant that they couldn't wait to trample A-Niang under their feet, and then replace it themselves.
At that time, Ansheng was ignorant and sensible. Treat the Xue clan as a foreign invader.
Now, it's none of his business, An Sheng feels that this woman's humble attitude is a little pitiful.
The old lady's face was calm and waveless, and there was no strange expression at all.
"Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors? Who do you recognize? Who do you want to belong to? ”
Hua Niang raised her face and said categorically: "Brother Hui's father is none other than the prince of your mansion." ”
As soon as these words came out, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the room suddenly became noisy.
How could it be Yu Jingyun?
The prince who is self-controlled, arrogant, and not close to women?
For a while, Yu Jingyun was indeed a bit earth-shaking, in addition to choosing the princess publicly, he also made a name for himself in the Qinglou. But before, he had never particularly favored anyone, even Luo Bing, the county lord in King Rui's mansion, he was disdainful.
This flower girl, although it does seem to have a little bit of beauty, but at most it is an ordinary vulgar powder, how can the prince who has eyes above the top see it in his eyes?
For a while, everyone looked at each other, talked about it, and invariably looked at An Sheng.
An Sheng was also stunned for a while, and he didn't know what it was like.
The old lady and Mrs. Hou all had a face in their hands, calm and calm, not in a hurry.
"You said that the child's father is the son of my Hou Mansion, but what proof do you have?"
Hua Niang rubbed a waist card from her waist, and presented it respectfully with both hands: "This is the love thing that the prince gave me." ”
A maid stepped forward to take it and then forwarded it to the old lady. The old lady glanced at it, and then handed it to Mrs. Hou.
"It's indeed a stunningly cloudy waist card."
Hua Niang nodded: "My acquaintance with the prince is derived from this waist card." The two have been in love for nearly five years, and they have always been in love, and gave birth to Brother Hui.
Hua Niang knows that her identity is humble, and she doesn't dare to have any extravagant hopes, but the child is innocent, he is the blood of the Hou Mansion, but he is often pointed out and discussed, and all kinds of rumors and rumors. Therefore, Hua Niang dared to beg the old lady and Mrs. to call the shots, so that Brother Hui would recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. ”
After saying this, everyone's hearts suddenly brightened, and their anxious hearts were also put down, and they breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at An Sheng gloatingly.
This flower girl isn't even an outer room, she's just abandoned from the beginning to the end, right?
The old lady bowed his head: "How can this shocking cloud be so ridiculous, he already has a child, and he is still in the market, and he refuses to go back to the house to reveal half the news." ”
Hua Niang was poked in the heart by the old lady's words, and she was so aggrieved that she burst into tears: "The identity of the prince is different, he said that it is impossible for him to marry a woman from a humble background like me as the princess, but after he gets married, he will definitely give me a name." Therefore, Hua Niang has been enduring humiliation for so many years and does not dare to speak out. ”
"Then how can you have the courage to step through the gate of my Hou Mansion today?"
The old lady asked again with a kind eyebrow.
Hua Niang sobbed quietly: "I haven't seen the prince for nearly half a year, the family is getting poor, and the child has been clamoring to see his father." I was helpless, but I didn't know where to look for him. I heard that he already has a sweetheart and is going to marry the princess......"
"So, you're coming to ask for a name?" The old lady suddenly changed her face and asked in a deep voice.
Hua Niang's body trembled, and she couldn't help but whisper in defense: "I just want the child to have an identity." ”
"Huh." The old lady chuckled: "Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong, why do you need to cover your ears and steal the bell?" ”
Hua Niang knelt on the ground, facing the old lady's seemingly kind, but perceptive sharp gaze, she was suddenly a little at a loss.
The old lady slowly glanced around at the female dependents, and took the lead in naming names: "Jinghong's family, how do you say this matter should be handled?" ”
is known as the "Jinghong family", An Sheng knows that she is the wife of Yu Jinghong, the second eldest concubine in the house, but An Sheng doesn't know what her background is.
The second young lady took a step forward and said: "The prince is the age of young and amorous, it is harmless to do such a romantic thing, and the old lady does not need to be angry." It is said that there are a lot of meals for her mother and mother in our house.
It's just that before the prince married the princess, he took the two into the mansion, and before the son was born, he had such a doll first, and spreading it would also damage the reputation of our Hou Mansion.
For the sake of the overall situation, it is still necessary to wronged their mother and son for a period of time, and it is not appropriate to publicize it for the time being. Wait until the prince gets married, and then make plans, right? ”
A woman next to her sneered: "Everyone is in front of you, isn't the second sister-in-law covering her ears and stealing the bell?" ”
The one who spoke was the third young lady in the house, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and she looked like a happy-hearted and straight-hearted person with a pungent temperament.
She clearly meant something, so all the eyes of the people in the room turned to An Sheng. Everyone unanimously felt in their hearts that the candidates for the concubine in this world probably belonged to non-Ansheng, so the proposal of the second young lady was not just to cover up and steal the bell?
The old lady smiled and asked the third young lady: "You have always been outspoken and fast-talking, and you speak the most transparently, tell me, how should this matter be resolved?" ”
The third young lady blurted out almost without thinking: "Although I am a bad person, I still know how to do my duty." The most basic responsibility of our daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion is to spread the branches and leaves of the Hou Mansion and pass on the ancestry, and the young masters of the Hou Mansion naturally have as many as possible.
Moreover, at the very least, there must be generosity and tolerance, and when a man does this kind of thing, it is clear that he is not thoughtful enough, so it makes a man angry, and it is useless to be angry and spilled, it is better to simply be an adult, and admit it happily, a family and Lele, isn't it good? ”
She was a little gloating at what she said, looking at An Sheng smiling proudly, even between her eyebrows and eyes overflowing with comfort.
An Sheng only pretended not to understand, and looked light and light with a cloud hanging high that had nothing to do with him.
This matter has nothing to do with myself in the first place.
