Chapter 217: Sadness and joy

The prefect's official residence has a total of four entrances, the scenery is like that, the charm is very dignified, the architectural style is particularly local characteristics, one should be the pavilions, the pavilions, the halls and courtyards, or spacious, or elegant, or quiet, or graceful, but only lacks a bit of beauty.

Surrounded by a group of maids and servants, everyone got off the sedan chair in front of the weeping flower gate, Chen Ying stared at it, and saw that at the end of the stone road that ran through the central axis of the mansion, a piece of cornices was raised.

"Ruizao Hall" is the upper room of the main courtyard, which is the residence of Mrs. Li.

At this point, Lee's eyes turned red for the first time.

The group walked along the stone road, and before they had gone far, a mother of about forty years old and wearing a dark green and long armor greeted her, rubbing her eyes and bending down to salute.

Ni Shi hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile: "Mother Qi, get up quickly." ”

Li Xi gently told Chen Ying on the side: "This is Qi Lu's family." ”

Chen Ying let out an "oh" and said jokingly: "Thank you cousin for your doubts." ”

Li Xi's heart was very proud, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and the Qi Lu family stepped forward to give the Li family a salute, both of them had red circles under their eyes, and the Qi Lu family couldn't help but wipe the corners of their eyes, and said: "I heard that the old man and the aunt are here today, the old lady got up before dawn, the masters, please come in, the old lady is waiting." ”

Li Shi was excited at this time, and he didn't care about the side, so he walked in first, and everyone followed, walking through the path, going to the platform, turning the stone blue fragrant cloud gauze six plain noodles around the screen, and when he saw the white-haired old woman sitting on the top of the hall, Li paused slightly, and then stumbled a few steps, knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound, and said tremblingly on his knees: "No, the girl has seen her mother." ”

Mrs. Li's eyes were already red, and she screamed "Ah Ying" tremblingly, and she had already left her seat and got up, and she didn't need help, so she stepped on the couch and walked down, pulled Li and hugged her in her arms, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried.

"My son", Mrs. Li cried and called, crying until she was short of breath, and Ni's eyes were also red.

Since the Li family got married, Mrs. Li has never seen her daughter again, the Li family has been a widow in the Guogong Mansion all these years, how difficult it should be that day, as long as she thinks of it, her heart is like a knife.

The mournful cries of the mother and daughter made everyone cry, and Chen Ying was also in turmoil.

Ni Shi shed tears for a while, Fang choked and stepped forward to persuade: "The old lady should still take care of her body, don't cry anymore, what if she cries badly?" My sister-in-law won't leave for a while, and she will have to live at home for a few days, and sometimes she will talk. After finishing speaking, he went to pull Li's again: "Sister, get up quickly, your body is not good, don't cry out and make the old lady sad." ”

The old lady Li and the Li family gradually collected their tears, and the maid brought hot water and clean handkerchiefs to serve the masters.

Chen Ying stood beside the Li family, looked up without a trace, and saw that her maternal grandmother in this life was about sixty years old, with a fair complexion, bright eyes, and a round face without edges and corners, which was three points similar to the Li family.

She wore a silver-gray Shu brocade jacket, a Shi Qinglu silk horse-faced skirt tied underneath, wiped her forehead, and wore cloud shoulders, and her whole body was magnificent.

At this time, Mrs. Li was still wiping her tears with a handkerchief and said, "I am waiting for you to come, and I will be quieter in my heart at this time." ”

She still didn't know what happened in Penglai County, Li Heng didn't dare to tell her at all, Ni Shi would not mention it, only stepped forward to pour tea for Mrs. Li, and said with a smile: "The old lady is blessed and created, with you in the town thousands of miles away, we are all safe and healthy, this is all thanks to you." ”

This made Mrs. Li laugh, but the tears still couldn't be stopped, so she said: "You are the best at talking, making me cry and laugh, fortunately, they are all a family, if outsiders see it, can it be a joke?" ”

Ni Shi raised his eyebrows and said: "The daughter-in-law wants to see who dares to laugh at the old lady, and the old lady tells the daughter-in-law that the daughter-in-law will knock on the door." ”

These words caused everyone to laugh, knowing that this was Ni's coaxing Mrs. Li to rejoice, and Li also collected the sorrow, and talked to the side in fun, and after a while, Mrs. Li's eyes were finally not red, and she put away the veil.

Ni smiled at this time: "Don't be sad, old lady, look, the neat children below haven't given you a salute yet." As he spoke, he sighed: "Alas, it can be seen that you have a daughter and forgot your grandchildren, and the children are really pitiful." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Li slapped her on the hand and said with a smile: "You are also a mother, and you are still like this in front of me." ”

Having said that, he was happy in his heart, so he smiled and beckoned downward: "You all come here, let me have a good look." ”

A group of juniors, including Li Gong, came forward to salute at this time, and some maids had already put on the brocade mat, but before everyone knelt, Mrs. Li shouted repeatedly: "Get up, I'm tired of walking all the way, don't be restrained when you come to me." ”

Everyone got up according to the words, bowed down and saw that the salute was over, and then Ni nodded and called Chen Jun and Chen Ying over, and said with a smile: "These two old ladies are the first time to see each other, take a closer look." ”

Old Madam Li had already seen them, so she ordered them to come closer, took a closer look at them one by one, and praised Chen Jun first: "What a handsome brother, compare the two boys in our family." He turned his head to look at Chen Ying again, and said with a smile: "This child is so clean, and you can see that he is a blessed one at a glance." ”

It was the first time for the old man to see his grandson and granddaughter, and he was smiling, looking at the eyes of the two juniors full of love.

Li Xi came over at this time, tilted to Mrs. Li's side, and said reluctantly: "The old lady doesn't care anymore, her granddaughter has been standing for a long time, and the old lady doesn't come to say a word to her granddaughter." ”

Mrs. Li's favorite thing is her, she is so coquettish, the old man's whole heart is about to melt, hugging Li Xi and smiling: "I know that you little monkey can't sit still." ”

For a while, the room was full of laughter, and Mrs. Li had a big heart, so she ordered Qi Lu's family to come out with a box and give a group of juniors a meeting gift, among which Chen Ying's brothers and sisters got the heaviest gift, Chen Jun is a set of former dynasty solitary books and two sets of good pen and ink, Chen Ying is two pairs of mutton fat hosta and a treasure gold collar.

Li Shi said "It's too heavy", and Mrs. Li smiled: "This is the first time I have met with children, but it can't be too simple." In the end, the Chen Jun brothers and sisters accepted it, and everyone returned to their seats to speak.
