Chapter 406: Arrival
Although Shen Qimo is just an aunt, because she gave birth to Jian Yiyu's only son, she is also among the entourage this time.
Of course, because Jian Yiyu and Jian Xubai have a bad relationship, it has been a few days since they set off, and she and Song Yixiao have never seen each other, and when they are on the road, they each nest in the carriage to coax the children, and when they get out of the car, they also have a place to settle down and ask them to rest separately.
This will Shen Qimo send someone to invite Aunt Yun, and after Song Yixiao responded, he thought about it, but he didn't look at it.
After a while, Aunt Yun came back, and Song Yixiao asked her, "Is there a fever over there?" Isn't it amazing? ”
"It's the wind chill." Yun Gu didn't care and said, "When you get to the place, you can just take the medicine." ”
Song Yi didn't take it to heart when she heard this, and pulled out the sideburns and teased her sister: "What's on this?" Why does this bell ring? ”
After a few days like this, I finally arrived at the place in a hurry - the ancestral house of the Jian family is not in Liaozhou City, but in a town ten miles outside the city, it can be seen that the Jian family has a very high status here, and the continuous mansions occupy most of the town, not to mention, there are several archways outside the main gate.
The latest archway is the one that was erected when Jane left the title of the Miao Gold List.
The eldest man of the Jian family, Jian Liwu and his wife, got the letter, and they had already received their children and greeted them under this archway.
Seeing this, Jian Likuang and Jian Limiao hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and called the juniors to come over and greet the big house.
Jian Liwu is in his forties, with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, Xu is often in the countryside, his face is dark, but his spirit is very good, he said a few words of greeting: "Dad is already waiting in the main hall, let's go in quickly!" ”
"Is this Qingyue?" The three brothers of the Lizi generation walked in first, and the female dependents were at the end, and Jian Li's wife, Gao, came over to greet Song Yixiao, she glanced at Jian Qingyue, and then at Lu Zhuo'er, a little strange, "That older one is a maid?" ”
That's a great dress, isn't it? It's almost the same as Jian Qingyue.
"Aunt said with a smile, this is my maiden sister, the county lord of Xinling." Song Yixiao was displeased when she heard this, and said lightly, "Because my mother died in February, and the prince of Hengshan did not have a mother's filial piety, the eldest young grandmother of the palace has recently given birth, and the second young grandmother also died early, and the fifth young grandmother is really too busy, so I will take her to take care of her for a few days." This time, I brought it with me by the way. ”
Gao was very embarrassed: "I said that this kid doesn't look like an ordinary person - it's just that the person who came to report the news before never mentioned this matter, thinking that you are just a daughter, but you want to be left!" ”
Hurriedly blessed Lu Zhuo'er, "I also hope that the county lord Haihan!" ”
Lu Zhuo'er only glanced at her and was silent.
"My sister is by nature, and she has never been very talkative, so don't be surprised by my aunt!" Song Yi smiled and saw that she had misunderstood, but she didn't deliberately bury Lu Zhuo'er, so she was angry, and hurriedly explained for Lu Zhuo'er, "It's because she has such a personality. Son, I don't worry about keeping her in the imperial capital, so I have to bring it. Where you are disturbed, you have to ask your aunt to be magnanimous! ”
"Where's that? Isn't this your home too! Gao Shi hurriedly said, "The family is talking about this, but they are out of sight - speaking of which, I don't know your preferences, and I don't know if the Zhuzhu Pavilion is to your liking?" ”
The two talked and walked, and before going to the back hall, Song Yixiao understood the general situation of the big house:
The big house Jian Liwu couple had three sons and two daughters, among which the Gao family only gave birth to the eldest daughter Jian Yiyun and the second daughter Jian Yixiu, who were out of the cabinet a few years ago. Because they were married far away, although they sent someone to tell them about this succession, they couldn't get back from it. Gao sued the two daughters on behalf of the crime, saying that they definitely didn't want to come back to reunite with their brothers, but it was a long way to go, and there were many things to do in the husband's family.
Of course, Song Yixiao said that it was okay.
Jian Yijun and Jian Yixiu sisters are all concubines: the third son Jian Yimin, the fourth son Jian Yijun, and the young with the concubine. The female Jane is charming.
Jian Yimin and Jian Yijun have both been crowned and have already married.
The youngest Jian Yimei is sixteen this year, and she has already promised someone, but she has not yet reached the wedding date - Song Yixiao thought to herself that if this sister-in-law's wedding date was in the near future, she might have to be delayed.
At this time, when I arrived at the hall, I saw an old man wearing a round-necked shirt embroidered with a red background embroidered with four ruyi rui cloud patterns, sitting on the hall with his knees touched, and a beautiful woman about twenty or thirty years old standing beside him, and a servant standing in twos and threes farther away.
Seeing this old man, Jian Liwu made a common salute, stepped forward and said, "Dad, the second brother and the third brother are back!" ”
Jian Likuang and Jian Limiao stepped forward to pay their respects, and both said: "The unfilial son visits his father, and may his father always be there!" ”
"Get up!" The soft cushion for kowtowing had already been prepared in the hall, and after the group had finished saluting, Jian Pingyu put down his hand and said weakly, "You must be tired when you come back all the way, and sit down to talk." ”
Song Yixiao got up with the crowd, and peeked at this grandfather - Jian Pingyu is sitting at six and seven years old, I don't know if the maintenance is not as good as Gu Shao or two years older than Gu Shao, his beard and hair are gray, and the muscles on his face are clearly relaxed, but he can still see the outline of the sword eyebrows and starry eyes when he was young, and it is no wonder that Mrs. Yan Guotai did not hesitate to disobey her parents for him.
After seeing this scene, Song Yixiao felt more and more that when she had a secret conversation with Pei Yourui before, Pei Yourui's suspicion of Jian Limiao's bloodline was unreliable: Jian Pingyu was in his twenties, and I was afraid that it would be exactly the same as Jian Limiao. It would be strange if these two were not father and son.
"When I became a priest, my grandchildren were still young, and I didn't want to be a father in a blink of an eye." After everyone sat down, Jian Pingyu greeted the second son and the third son slightly, expressing his understanding that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom could not come, and his eyes fell on Jian Xubai, and Wen Yan said, "Time is really fast - Ah Xu's daughter can also walk, listen to the people below, this child is the name given by the Queen Mother?" ”
Jian Xubai said: "Back to my grandfather's words, exactly!" ”
"A blessed child." Jian Pingyu glanced at Jian Qingyue a few times, there was no joy or anger in his eyes, but with a smile on his face, he said to the beautiful woman beside him, "Go and bring the things!" ”
The woman blessed a blessing and entered, and after a while, a gold-painted ebony lacquer plate came out, and brocade was padded on it, and a pair of mutton fat jade Ruyi rested on the brocade, and Jian Pingyu said, "Let the child play with it!" ”
Jian Xubai hurriedly excused herself for her daughter, Jian Pingyu smiled: "It's not for you, did you say that if you don't want Qingyue, you don't want it?" ”
"Qingyue still hasn't stepped forward to thank your great-grandfather?" Jian Xubai's excuse is just a show, no matter what Jian Pingyu has done to him, now in full view, the great-granddaughter of his relatives has visited his great-grandfather for the first time, and his grandfather always has to give some greeting gifts.
It's just that Jian Qingyue was pulling and pulling with Lu Zhuo'er, and she didn't pay attention to her father at all when she heard the words - Song Yixiao hurriedly pushed her, and whispered a few words, she stepped forward and kowtowed in a daze, and said in a milky voice: "Xie Zeng is like a father!" ”
"This kid really looks like Ah Xu!" Jian Pingyu was still a little snorted when she heard her speak, and said with a smile, "I remember that Ah Xu couldn't call his grandfather when he was a child, either he was bitten into 'Father Chu' or bitten into 'Father Chu'. ”
Jian Limiao had been quiet, and when she heard this, she chuckled: "Daddy has a really good memory." ”
I don't know what the way to say such a very common sentence, in short, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down.
Song Yixiao was surprised to herself, Gao Shi looked wrong, and hurriedly turned his head and whispered a few words to her husband - Jian Li glanced at Lu Zhuo'er in surprise, got up and said: "Dad, the county lord of Xinling of Hengshan Wangfu came with Ah Xu's daughter-in-law, we didn't know before, but we haven't seen the county lord yet!" ”
Although Lu Zhuo'er is young and Song Yixiao's own sister, she is the daughter of the King of Hengshan, the official canonized county lord of the royal family, representing the face of the Hengshan Royal Mansion and the majesty of the royal family.
So it's okay if the Jian family doesn't know, and after knowing, it is impossible to continue to treat her as an ordinary child.
At that moment, everyone including Jian Pingyu got up one after another and wanted to invite Lu Zhu'er to sit down and receive the national gift.
Song Yixiao wanted to stop her: "Zhuang'er is young, and this time it is also because the Hengshan Royal Mansion is in a hurry, and there is no manpower to take care of her, so I was asked to lead her, and the prince of Hengshan also said that it is enough to treat her as an ordinary junior, how can you disturb the elders like this?" ”
In the end, although Lu Zhuo'er was not asked to sit down, everyone also saluted her in the end - but the girl never spoke, and Song Yixiao waived the salute on her behalf.
After such a hiatus, the time was almost up, and Jian Pingyu hinted that everyone dispersed: "You guys have been bumpy all the way, and I've seen you here, so let's go down and take a rest and see where you live!" ”
Originally, the Gao family arranged a courtyard called Jiangzhu Pavilion for Jian Xubai and his wife, which would be because Lu Zhuo'er wanted to live with them, so the Gao family came to ask if he wanted to change to a bigger place, so as not to snub the county lord?
Song Yixiao looked at this Zhuzhu Pavilion and found that the place was not small, so he dismissed her kindness.
After a while, the box cage was put away, and it was almost time to put up a silhouette - Song Yi smiled and thought that he would only arrive today, and most of the dinner would be used together, so he first asked someone to take out the clothes and makeup box, freshen up and dress up, and wait for someone to shout.
Who would have thought that after a while, it was the kitchen that brought a food box, saying that Jian Pingyu was sympathetic to the young great-grandchildren, and only called Jian Likuang and Jian Limiao to eat, and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren stopped shouting.
"Today, because the uncle revealed his identity as a child, my grandfather doesn't seem to give the third brother's child a meeting gift?" Song Yixiao sent the people away, watching Chiqiang and them set the meal, and said to her husband, "Speaking of which, I don't know what the child's name is!" ”
"I don't know." Jian Xubai hugged Jian Qingyue, let her daughter grab her clothes and pull hard, and said, "I don't know if I have a name or not-but you don't have to feel wronged for that child, how can grandfather treat him badly?" ”
Song Yixiao thought to herself that the child is not mine, why should I be wronged for him? It's just that I feel that Jian Pingyu seems to be deliberately showing favor to Jian Xubai today, and I wonder if this grandfather already knows the truth?
Otherwise, according to Jian Yiyu's rhetoric, this grandfather also has bad intentions towards him, and Jian Yiyu is also older, why should he give Jian Yiyou's son a meeting gift first, and then it will be Jian Qingyue's turn, right?
I'm afraid that I know that time is running out, and the second room will definitely be overwhelmed by the third room, for the sake of the grandson I like, I deliberately made love to Jian Xubai - in the final analysis, it is also covering my ears and stealing the bell, and the hatred of dying and surviving, how can it be offset by a little show of favor at this moment?
The day passed like this, and early the next morning, Song Yixiao told the bell to watch the people below continue to store the luggage, and he led the two children to greet the elders.
said that it was to ask for peace for the elders, Mrs. Yan Guotai and Mrs. Wen have passed away, Jian Pingyu has no wife now, and yesterday she took jade Ruyi to Jian Qingyue's woman to look at the aunt who was favored by his side, but no matter how favored the aunt was, she couldn't stand the invitation of the serious granddaughter-in-law.
So Song Yixiao went to Gao's place.
Gao was very happy to see her, and after saluting Lu Zhuo'er, he said: "I was planning to send someone over to find you, and after your uncle came back yesterday, he said that the ancestral hall would be opened the day after tomorrow. ”
Thinking about it, Jian Pingyu called his sons over for dinner last night, it should be to discuss the succession.
This matter was proposed by the Empress Dowager Su, and unanimously approved by the Empress Dowager, Emperor Duanhua, and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, so no matter what the Jian family thought, they could only do it anyway - after Song Yi smiled and responded, he talked to the ladies of the big house, and then returned to the Zhuzhu Pavilion to prepare.
The day after tomorrow is here in a blink of an eye.
