Sixty-four,
The British duchess grew up in the heroic land of the northwest people, although she is already old, but she still can't hide the beauty of the past, at first glance, Zhang Lan is also a beautiful and capable, and then look at the niece's generous manners, advance and retreat appropriately, and was not raised crookedly by her stepmother, so her heart was a little calmer, and her eyes at Zhang Lan also added a lot of harmony, "With this good daughter-in-law, the old lady is really blessed," said and got up and saluted Zhang Lan solemnly, "We have been far away these years, and we have taken care of Mrs. Tired." ”
"Yes, although my daughter-in-law can't compare with Sister Ling, she is also very capable," Mrs. Luo only felt a toothache, but her face was full of love, "What's wrong, Mrs. In-law doesn't hesitate to advise." ”
"Where did Madame say, Qingrong is my own daughter, and taking care of her is a matter of responsibility," where does Luo Qingrong need to take care of herself? Zhang Lan laughed silently, no matter how harmonious this hall is, it has nothing to do with her, Mrs. Luo, Luo Qingrong, Yu, Gao and the children they brought, if there is no Luo Yuanpeng, what does it have to do with her? And Luo Yuanpeng, if there is no son to tie in, just like Su's mother said, without her mother-in-law, Luo Xuyang's position will be very embarrassing, and even whether she can grow up is two words, she may have quietly left her husband who has been far away.
Luo Qingrong had already noticed Zhang Lan's absent-mindedness, she straightened up in Gao's arms, and smiled at her aunt, "Auntie, let Qingrong get to know the two sisters." ”
"Look at me, I forgot all the etiquette," Yu smiled, "Don't blame the old lady, these are my two daughters, who have been raised in the countryside, unlike the ladies in the capital who are all raised in the rules, and the old lady is not strange for the rudeness." ”
Over there, Mrs. Luo had already pulled Gao Xueying and Gao Xueshan sisters to her side to take a closer look, and couldn't help but praise, "The two sisters are rare talents, how old are they?" ”
Gao Xueying is a sister, and unlike the girls in the capital who are raised in the boudoir, she is very generous in her words and actions, and she answered Mrs. Luo's questions one by one, Gao Xueshan is a concubine, not as confident as her sister in saying things, but she also met with Mrs. Luo and Zhang Lan in a decent manner. In fact, Zhang Lan likes beautiful girls very much, but now she is completely out of the mood, this little girl of the Yong'an Dynasty, where is she like in her own era, she doesn't hide her heart and has no wit? I didn't say much, but only rewarded the two hairpins that were prepared.
Because they are serious in-laws, the Yu family and the Gao family are also Luo Xuchu and Luo Sujuan's aunt and aunt, so Luo Sujuan also came to give them a salute one by one.
"Old lady, the young master of the Chu family has brought the young master of the Guo family in," Ziju saw Luo Xuchu coming over from a distance, followed by a young man wearing azure satin.
"It's all your own flesh and blood, don't learn the rules of those scorpion stinging mothers-in-law," Mrs. Luo waved her hand impatiently, signaling the girls who wanted to support the screen to go down. The sisters of the Gao family and the young master of the Guo family went to Beijing all the way, how can there be a reason that they have not seen each other, and the Guo family is Luo Qingrong's aunt's family, how can the aunt and cousin not recognize each other?
Luo Qingrong is also the first time to see this cousin, Guo Nianlun is only fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall, extremely strong, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, very shy smile, as soon as he entered the door and saw a room full of children, before he could speak, his face turned red, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so Gao Xueying hid her mouth and laughed.
"My son who is not a weapon, my old lady is afraid that he will grow up in the hands of women, only three or four years old to be brought to the outer courtyard to personally educate, last year passed the government test, my lord thought about the desolation of the land in Gansu, so he wanted to send it to the capital to find him a good school to learn a long way to see, as for the spring Xuan, two years later, "Speaking of son, Gao's face is full of pride, she is not married to the eldest son of the Guo family in Tianshui, but the son's character is the most obedient and honest in the Guo family's generation, these years capable husband, honest and worry-free son, It really made her proud for many years.
"This is easy, now there are a few of my nephews in the Dingguo Mansion who are learning, the grandfather of the country simply invited Mr. Rumo to sit in the house, and Brother Xu is also attached to the school there, I will tell my nephew, and send the young master of the Guo family over, just to know more friends~"
"Then thank you to the old lady," although the Tianshui Guo family is a big family, but over the years, the children have served in many places, this capital is not their one acre and three points of land at all, and the return of the British Duke Gao Changsong to Beijing is also a matter of the past two years, whether it is the Gao family or the Guo family, they need to make some preparations in the capital. Now I can use Mrs. Luo's strength to get acquainted with the young masters in the Dingguo Mansion, and it is also a good opportunity for Guo Nianlun.
"Don't care about Qingrong, my cousin is a fool," Seeing Guo Nianlun secretly sweeping his eyes over Luo Qingrong, Gao Xueying pursed her lips and smiled, for fear that Luo Qingrong would laugh at the unruly rules in these places, and quietly explained, "He's better to speak, he is also sincere, there is no one with the slightest bad heart, after a long time, you have to remind him all day long not to be deceived." ”
Guo Nianlun has a pair of clean eyes that the children of the capital do not have, and the eyes that look at him have no lustful meaning, it seems that he just suddenly saw a novel item, and subconsciously paid attention, "I know, the cousin of the Guo family seems to be very simple, I have to instruct my younger brother to go to the clan study of the Dingguo Mansion, don't be bullied." ”
Feeling that someone was paying attention to him, Guo Nianlun's face turned even redder, he moved lightly uneasily, but he was afraid of being rude, the two sisters he saw today, especially his aunt and cousin, made him a little restless, he had never seen such an elegant and peugeot woman, it was really like everyone's picture of a lady, compared with her, he seemed to fall into the dirt, the cousin of the Gao family was not talking to her about herself, right? Guo Nianlun knew that Gao Xueying always laughed at him, what if he told his cousin like this? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat all over his head.
Just as she was listening to the British Duchess talk about her future plans, she saw Ziping come in with a bitter face, "Madam, the second grandmother from Luofu over there has arrived, saying that she wants to greet you." ”
The Luo family in this iron alley is really sticky, Zhang Lan was so angry that she trembled, and wanted to say that she couldn't see it directly, but in front of the guests, "Didn't you tell them that there were guests in the house?" ”
"Anyway, the second grandmother said that she heard that the British duchess had arrived, and she also wanted to come over to see her," Ziping tried to adjust her expression, hoping not to be seen by her in-laws.
"It turned out that your relatives were here," Yu stood up, "Luo Mansion over there", thinking that it was a side branch of the Luo family.
"Sit down quickly, and invite them to come over," Old Madam Luo commanded.
Since the Luo family and his party went back that day, they have regretted it a little, who knows if things are as scary as Luo Qingrong said? Maybe Liang Yuanshen also fell in love with his daughter, but because of the people around him, he bit back for the sake of face, and how could they give up the rare opportunity so easily? Although the Luo family is not a big family and has few relatives, it is also a fatal punishment for the family, and from now on, the Luo family will become the laughing stock of the capital.
In a dilemma, Luo Xuqing, the second eldest of the Luo family, retreated to the second, and let his wife Li stick to Zhang Lan, whether it was her daughter who was unruly or not, but it was always Zhang Lan who brought her to Hanyuan, otherwise there would be no later events, so her daughter's future future will be handed over to Zhang Lan, what nunnery they are reluctant to let their daughter go, and finally give birth to a beautiful daughter, that is to be of great use, how can you also marry useful relatives, and this heavy responsibility falls on Zhang Lan, otherwise, Li will bring her daughter to the door every day, I didn't say much, just sat quietly in the water dwelling.
Mrs. Luo also hated Zhang Lan for doing things inappropriately, so she simply didn't let Luo Qingrong take care of it anymore, and when people came, they would directly lead to Zhang Lan and let her entertain herself.
"Ouch, the folk woman has seen the British Duchess," the Li family had heard a few days ago that Luo Qingrong's uncle, the British Duchess, was coming, so they were also waiting for this opportunity, Zhang Lan was grounded, even if she was willing to take her daughter to the Xungui Mansion to walk around. It is also impossible to do for the time being, and the Li family has learned from his daughter that Luo Minghuan is reluctant to follow the good king, so bringing her daughter to meet the British duchess is also the most practical choice at present, I heard that there are two sons in law in the British duchess, and there are several concubines, people "have seen Mrs. Guo," I heard that Luo Qingrong's aunt, but married to the Tianshui Guo family, her eyes have fallen on Guo Nianlun, who has flashed to the side.
"This is the second daughter-in-law of my cousin's family," Mrs. Luo said lightly, "Zhang, you go and hear what is going on with the second grandmother." ”
Want to spend yourself like that? That's not good, Li Shi piled up a smile on his face, "Look at what the ancestor said, what can I do?" These days, the second aunt is not feeling well, and often let me and my daughter come over to help, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet relatives today, Ming Yan, Ming Huan, come over to see my uncle and grandmother, and my aunt, "Since the matter of Hanyuan, Luo Mingyan and Luo Minghuan have no shame, but Li and her husband don't think so, if they are really stuffy at home, if one day the rumors spread, don't you sit down and have a ghost in your heart?" In order to prove his innocence, he has to go out and walk around in a high-profile manner, especially before the rumors spread, he can tell his two daughters to be a good family, so that he can be foolproof.
"I can't complain that the second grandmother came out with her daughter, and she looks as handsome as two shallots," Yu and Gao couldn't feel the disgust in the eyes of the people in Qingtai Courtyard, and waved their hands to let the grandmother next to them reward a pile of beads and purses, "A little gadget, take it and play with it." ”
"These are the two young ladies in the Guogong Mansion, they are really fairy-like characters," Li's mouth was full of puffiness, and he couldn't stop pantothenic acid in his heart, if his family could be as rich as the British Mansion, he could also dress his daughter up with flowers, surrounded by beads, where would he still be used to accompany the Wu'an Hou Mansion to accompany him, "It's true, it's not a coincidence," Li Shi took off two brilliant gold-inlaid jade bracelets from his hands, "Don't dislike it." "She came here today for a purpose, so naturally she didn't want to be looked down upon by the Gao family.
