Chapter Twenty-Three: First Sight of the Old Man
As soon as Xia Yu and the others entered the gatehouse and opened the curtain, a well-dressed mother-in-law greeted them.
Xia Yu was a little dazed, this mother-in-law was a little naïve, but after taking a closer look, she was a little familiar.
The mother-in-law stared at Xia Yu with teary eyes, and only said a sentence for a long time:
"Like, it's like her mother."
Xia Yu waited for her mother-in-law to finish speaking, and suddenly remembered who this person was, and her eyes immediately moistened.
A personal mother by the side of the single mother Deng great-grandmother.
At the beginning, she married into the mansion of the Marquis of Xia, and her mother-in-law did not like to embarrass her everywhere, and the ancestors disliked her for being too gorgeous, and often taught her what she wanted to know about what was the three virtues and four virtues, and accused her of being a restless lord.
At the beginning, only Great-Grandmother Deng took pity on her, and often asked Mother Shan to help her, but at the beginning, thanks to the care of Great-grandmother Deng and Mother Shan, if it weren't for them, she wouldn't know how to live in the Mansion of Marquis Xia.
Later, his great-grandfather passed away, and his great-grandfather and great-grandfather Deng moved to the Rongguo Mansion, the mansion of the third grandfather, after the first seven years.
Seeing each other again after five years, Xia Yi was very excited, but she didn't dare to show it, after all, she was still three years old and didn't know who her biological mother was, and she had never seen Deng Great's grandmother's milk doll.
Xia Yan raised her little head, slightly emotional, looked at Mother Shan with a smile and said:
"This mother is so kind, and Gardenia has a sense of closeness when she sees it, as if she has been in a relationship with this mother for many years."
Xia Yan's sharp and thin little face smiled very cutely, and her eyes were close to her mother.
When Mother Shan heard this, she instantly burst into tears and laughed and said:
"The old slave looked at the third lady who was well-behaved and cute, and he felt close in his heart, but he didn't expect the third miss to have the same idea as the old slave."
The other masters, mothers-in-law, and maids in the house laughed and said that this was fate, and they were happy for a while.
There were also a few discordant voices saying unpleasant things.
"Smack"
There was a crisp sound, and the four immediately silenced and quieted down, and looked at the upper seat together.
Two old ladies with gray sideburns sat on the chairs with purple trembling wood carvings and auspicious cloud patterns.
It was Min's great-grandmother who deliberately smashed the porcelain cup and put it down, dressed gracefully and wealthily.
With a mean face, she was actually dressed in red and green like a junior, and her head was full of gold ornaments, Xia Yi saw that her old man's neck hurt.
On the other hand, Deng great-grandmother was dressed in blue-black dark pattern clothes, and only wore a simple and dignified jade hairpin on her head.
There is an ancient jade on his neck, which is moist and shiny, and exudes a soft light.
The eyebrows are charitable, and the breath exuded by the whole person is like a spring breeze, leisurely and elegant, which makes people unconsciously want to get close.
"Hmph, I'm angry, I'm here to block the old woman, I don't know how to ask An Dao to make a friendship with a slave, and I don't have the slightest presence of my old wife in my eyes, I really don't know where the rules of the old family are taught."
Great-grandmother Min's voice was a little cold, and her words were cold, and she squinted and squinted at Xia Yu unhappily.
"Old Ancestor ~ Sister Gardenia was born without knowing the number of etiquette, the old ancestor is not angry, and Yun'er will be distressed to death."
The person who spoke was a girl of twelve or thirteen, wearing a new water-red light gauze dress of six or seven, her face was delicate, she was not beautiful, and her dress was average.
"Yes, ancestor, don't be angry, not only Sister Wan'er is distressed, but our great-granddaughters will be distressed."
Another eleven or twelve-year-old girl then said, for fear that it would be too late, and her voice was a little hurried.
"What the two sisters said is right, the elder ancestor Gardenia's sister is still young, and the ancestor needs to discipline more."
This person Xia Yu knows, the last time I saw her was four years ago, when she was Junhua, the lobby sister-in-law of the second grandfather's mansion led her to the Xia Gonghou Mansion, four years ago this girl was not in time, now it seems that she is about to go out of the cabinet, this girl still called her an aunt, and now she is going to call this girl a cousin.
"I'm still stunned, and I haven't come to say hello to my ancestors."
Mrs. Xia Gonghou looked fierce, looked at Xia Yu with annoyance, and said with a somewhat impatient expression.
The old lady didn't like their room, if it weren't for the old marquis who let go of the cruel words, the eldest would not inherit the title, then the third would inherit the title, and the old lady would have to let the second inherit the title.
Mrs. Xia Gonghou wants face in front of the other rooms the most, and now that Xia Yu has lost face, she can't wait to strangle this evil obstacle.
Mother Shan's face was a little embarrassed, she glanced at Xia Yan with pity, and then retreated in embarrassment.
Great-grandmother Deng frowned slightly, and did not say anything, but Xia Yan could see the pity in Great-grandmother Deng's eyes.
Feng Shi lowered his head and blushed, and gently pulled Xia Yu and Xia Xiaoxi to step forward hurriedly.
"The granddaughter-in-law asked the two old ladies, mother-in-law, second uncle, third uncle, and fifth uncle, the old lady didn't blame Gardenia, she was still young and inevitably had some mistakes, and the granddaughter-in-law was even more at fault, and she failed to say goodbye to her ancestors in time."
Xia Xiaoxi has a milky voice:
"Great-granddaughters greet their ancestors, grandmothers, and cousins."
Xia Yan said with some grievances:
"The great-granddaughter to the ancestors, grandmothers, grandmothers, aunts and aunts to say goodbye, Gardenia saw the two ancestors with charitable faces, dignified and serene like a Bodhisattva, Gardenia and saw which mother is so good, must have brought some of the ancestors' immortal energy, Gardenia thought that she could ask for some immortal energy, and forgot to salute for a while, and hoped that the Bodhisattva ancestor would not be angry."
Xia Yu stared at the Min family with piety and admiration, with admiration.
She lives in her daughter's body, and her soul is twenty-two years old combined, and she can still say nice and coaxing things.
In the previous life, she didn't know how to bow her head and flatter, and she didn't know how to please these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, so she would end up so miserable and affect the children.
Great-grandmother Min's eyes narrowed slightly, and she enjoyed Xia Yu's flattery very much, and even looked at Xia Yu with a loving look.
"Yo, my sister-in-law taught me well, Gardenia and granddaughter are really talkative, look at the old lady was told by this little girl to the heart, unlike my leather monkeys, my heart and eyes really can't say such flattering words."
The second grandmother, who was sitting at the head of Mrs. Xia Gonghou, opened her mouth and said, both inside and outside the words, saying that Xia Yu was obedient and ingenious.
Although Mrs. Xia Gonghou didn't like Xia Yu, but that dislike was negligible compared to the second room, and this Mrs. Xia Gonghou almost fell on this Tao.
At the beginning, they fought for the big house and the second room, but you lived and died, but the old lady was an eccentric, and the husband was a sibling, if it weren't for the insistence of Mrs. Deng and the old marquis, this title would have to be taken away by the second room.
immediately spoke up for Xia Yu:
"Brother and sister, don't you know that Gardenia's child is the most pure, if she looks at the two old ladies like Bodhisattvas, the two old ladies are really the Bodhisattvas, Gardenia is only three years old and clean as a blank piece of paper, what she says is from her heart, this child is a sincere little grade will not be those rhetoric."
