Chapter 44: Children and Grandchildren
Lu Man was reluctant to have more contact with those masters, especially the second master, who always looked at her with pickiness. When Xiao Caihe in the drama troupe came in, she said goodbye and returned to Lan Tingzhou.
Xiao Caihe sings in Tsing Yi, his appearance is extremely charming and pretty, and he wears clothes and makeup every time he comes. There is also a guy named Xin Yutang, who sings an old student, and every time he comes, he comes with makeup and a fake beard. It is said that the old colt liked to listen to the two of them sing very much, so basically the two of them took turns singing.
As long as they come, Lu Man will stay here for half an hour longer. The operas they sang were somewhat similar to the Kunqu operas of their previous lives, but they were not exactly the same.
Maybe there has been no entertainment life for a long time, Lu Man thinks that opera is also very good. It's just that she basically can't understand the lines, even if she looks at their figures, she thinks it's very good-looking. Especially Xiao Cai and the water sleeves, like flowing water, are amazing.
But today, because there are a few masters, Lu Man didn't stay to listen to the play.
In the evening, Lu Man came to Heming Courtyard on time to massage the old horse. Because of the large number of people, Lu Man did not "chat" with the old horse as in the past, but only massaged honestly.
Probably at the end of the day, except for Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu's little brothers and sisters, all the juniors came to Heming Hall one after another. They came to the old colt's bed, saluted him, and said all sorts of nice blessings.
Lu Man met the second lady Lin again this time. The eldest lady, the third lady, and the eldest grandmother will always come to visit the eldest princess and the old concubine every few days, only the second lady, if she is not allowed to come, she really won't come.
Because the old colt's condition has improved, everyone has a smile on their faces.
The eldest princess sat on the edge of the old colt's bed, squinting at the sight of so many children and grandchildren.
Several family members also praised the two imperial doctors and Lu Man who have made outstanding contributions in recent times, including Jiang Deyu's three little brothers and sisters.
Especially for Brother Xiaomin, who is more than one year old, everyone has rave reviews, saying that he knows filial piety to his grandfather at a young age. The eldest princess also held him in her arms as a sign of grace.
Lu Man glanced at the second old man who was playing haha, and scolded in his heart. It's really a second master, other people's sons and grandsons stand in a room, but none of his children have it, and they still laugh so happily. and then the concubine and the concubine, and your own sons and daughters. Others can look down on you, but you can't be a father.
The eldest princess looked at her children and grandchildren, and also remembered the descendants of the second room. asked the second lady, "Second daughter-in-law, how is Zhanyu?" ”
The second lady replied, "The daughter-in-law is trying to tell her mother-in-law." Yesterday, Zhanyu sent a letter back, saying that his condition had stabilized and he would be able to go home in the middle of next month. ”
The eldest princess nodded and smiled, "That's good." His illness is mainly self-cultivation, and he will come back when he is stable, and our family is in much better condition than the Qiu family, and the food and use are fine. He added, "When I come back, I will raise it at home, and don't go to the Guozijian for the time being, it's too hard." ”
The second old man frowned and said, "Alas, Zhanyu looks gentle, but in fact he has a stubborn personality, he has always had that thought, and he greatly admires Mr. Pan, who is the son of the country...... "At this time, he is like a loving father."
The eldest princess sighed deeply and said, "It's really not good, so I want to ask a great Confucian who can be compared to Pan Min to teach him at home." Reading at home is always better than going to Guozijian to study. She looked at the second lady, just wanted to open her mouth and endured it again, turned her eyes to the third master, and said, "Third child, you know a lot of celebrities, I want to find one for Zhanyu." ”
The third old man also glanced at the second lady, and said in his heart, your old man is willing to go far. But he knew that the old lady didn't want the second sister-in-law to have too much contact with those foreign men, so he had to hesitate and said, "My son knows a lot of celebrities, but there is no one who can compare with Mr. Pan...... Well, my son should think about it again. ”
The eldest princess nodded, looked around again, and said, "Everyone is here today, why didn't Zhankui and Xiao Jiu'er come?" Go, call them. ”
The second old man hurriedly stopped, "Mother, my father doesn't like to see them, so let's do what my father wants." ”
The eldest princess glanced at the old concubine on the bed, sighed and said, "He didn't like concubines all his life, but this time he was the concubine who was happy to marry his daughter-in-law." This concubine's daughter-in-law also massages him every day, chats with him, and contributes the family's heirloom medical book. He also instructed his subordinates, "In the evening, bring two dishes that Zhan Kui and Xiao Jiu'er like to eat, Xiao Jiu'er is very thin, and Zhan Wei is the most worried about her." ”
Lu Man's stomach is full of slander, they don't lack food and clothing, what they lack is the love of their elders and the respect that should be given. But she didn't dare to say much at this time, and continued to massage with her head down.
When she finally finished the massage, it was time for the children to interact with the old colt.
The eldest princess and the other elders were afraid that the children would not be able to let go, so they had to sit in the east side room.
Seeing Lu Man, who was so tired that his face was flushed, the third old man smiled and said, "Zhan Wei's daughter-in-law should also go over and rest, and stay here for dinner tonight." ”
The eldest princess also said, "Zhanwei's daughter-in-law has worked hard these days, stay here." ”
This is the biggest reward for her, right?
Lu Man actually wanted to go back to his yard to cook something delicious, and then invite Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu to dinner. She mainly feels sorry for Jiang Jiu, the little girl is kind and sensitive, far from being psychologically strong like Jiang Zhankui.
But the third master and the eldest princess invited her by "grace", and she had to go to the east side house with them, while the eldest grandmother and three children stayed here. The ninth master, Jiang Zhanyan, was only five years old, and he automatically stayed here.
Even if there is a hall and a west room in the middle, you can hear the laughter of several children over there, especially Brother Min, whose screams are very penetrating, making the people here laugh too.
Jiang Houye asked Lu Mandao again, "Zhan Wei's daughter-in-law, I heard that when Xinyutang sang 'Empty City Plan' yesterday, my father raised his hand again, and he raised it very high?" ”
Lu Man nodded and smiled, "Well, yes, grandfather's hand was raised so high, and his index finger was cocked. As she spoke, she gestured.
The eldest princess smiled and squinted and said, "Ouch, it's a pity, I didn't see that scene in this palace." Thinking of something, he laughed again, and said to the eunuch Guo Gonggong behind him, "Little Guozi, learn from the interesting story of yesterday's daughter-in-law." ”
As soon as he heard the eldest princess's words, Lu Man also laughed, and he did something clumsy, so he should be "respected" by Caiyi Entertainment.
Guo's father-in-law is nearly fifty years old, and most of his hair is white, but he is still the little Guo Zi in the mouth of the eldest princess.
He came to the eldest princess with the dust in his arms and bowed, only then did he straighten up and smile at the man's side, "Ouch, when I think of yesterday's incident, our family is so happy, I haven't even slept well at night, and I keep laughing......
