Sixty-five,
It was the first time Gao Xueying had seen such a woman, how could she be willing to take the things she had sent out, and motioned to the girl next to her to come out and take it, just thanking her, and Li's attention had been attracted by Guo Nianlun behind Luo Xuchu, "Which little brother is this?" It's really extraordinary, I'm really here today. ”
The Luo family and the Wu'an Hou Mansion in the Iron Lane are just one or two exchanges during the New Year's holidays, Luo Qingrong doesn't have much impression of them, and it is also after Luo Yuanpeng and Zhang Lan came back, the contacts have gradually increased, but most of the people who come to the mansion are Luo Xubai's wife Yang, Li Luo Qingrong really hasn't seen much, I didn't expect to be vulgar so far, "Today, my aunt and aunt are very tired all the way, so I won't leave the second wife." "With her actions, how should her aunt and aunt view the upbringing of the Luo family?
"What do you say about this?" Li didn't plan to leave like this, "When Master Hou comes back in the evening, he will definitely have to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two ladies, and Sister Yan and Sister Huan are all idle, so it is better to stay and help the second aunt, and it will save her from being able to turn away." ”
It seems that this family can't be pushed out, Luo Qingrong had a cold face at the time, "Don't bother the second grandmother, today is just a family banquet, there is not much pomp, I heard that Mrs. Luo's health is not very good, the second grandmother is still filial piety in front of the old lady's bed." ”
Relationally speaking, Luo Qingrong is not very old, but she is the distant sister-in-law of the second grandmother, the girls of this dynasty are all coquettish, and the sisters-in-law have no way to shake their tempers, not to mention that Luo Qingrong once swept away the face of the Luo family in Iron Lane, and the Li family was a little afraid of this second girl with a cold expression for no reason, not to mention that she is still in charge of the Luo family now.
"Since the second girl said so, then we will go first," Li was a little sneering, she also noticed that she was not very liked by the British Duchess and Mrs. Guo, plus she knew that she was born in a businessman, and rarely dealt with famous families, Li was also afraid of breaking things, so she thought about it and said to Mrs. Luo, "In a few days, it will be the great birthday of the old ancestor, and if you want to come to the house, you have to be busy, if you need help, you can only send someone to call us over." ”
After saying that, he reluctantly glanced at Guo Nianlun, and took his daughter away.
"Mother, what are you going to do?" As soon as he got into his carriage, Luo Mingyan sank his face, "Don't you think you have lost enough people?" "Every day when he was dragged by the Li family to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and was snubbed, Luo Mingyan had the heart to die.
"You know what? If you don't come here, how can you get married? How to marry a good family? Do you want to be like your aunts, and you will fight for you to marry a seven-grade official? You have also seen it clearly these days, not to mention Luo Qingrong, what kind of life is that Russell Juan? And that Zhang, what kind of background is she? Can you compare with us? Now that he is high up, he has fine clothes and food, isn't it good to marry? ”
"But we, already," Luo Minghuan was moved by Li's words, but in the end she lacked confidence, "Where would people look at people like us, if someone knew about the events of that day, I wouldn't even have a way to live, and my daughter now just begged not to be sent to the nunnery." ”
"Okay, you're not even as good as Second Miss Luo at all, who saw it? Let's not admit it, who dares to splash dirty water on the Luo family, the first one in the Wu'an Hou Mansion did not agree, "If someone reveals the ugly thing, you can't write two Luo characters in one stroke, and the two daughters of the Luo family can't run, she just ate this, so she entered and exited the Wu'an Hou Mansion with confidence, and relied on Zhang Lan."
"Do you see that Young Master Guo today? At first glance, he is an honest man, if he can climb this family, "My daughter's family is a daughter-in-law to the political envoy of Gansu, so my son is still worried about having no future?"
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Luo Mingyan was anxious, "What lintel do we have, where can we climb high?" didn't have to be laughed at, and offended Aunt Luo's second aunt. "Their sisters can't do anything wrong anymore, otherwise, I'm afraid there is only one way to die," besides, there are still generations left~"
"What's the matter with Second Miss Luo?" Li's thin eyebrows were raised high, "These two families are related, as long as the parents are eye-to-eye, what does it have to do with her little girl?" Isn't your sister worthy of the Guo family's son? Also, is the lintel of Wu'an Hou Robin worthy of the Tianshui Guo family? As for the seniority or something, we and the Gao family and the Guo family are relatives who can't beat each other, where do we want to talk about what generation from this side? ”
"We are not the Hou Luo family of Wu'an," Luo Mingyan was so angry by her mother's almost shameless theory that she stomped her feet, "Sister, don't listen to my mother's nonsense anymore, and don't come back to the Hou Mansion in the future." ”
Zhang Lan saw that Mrs. Luo was already tired, stood up and said, "The two ladies should be tired, so it is better for the daughter-in-law to ask everyone to settle down first, and the Hou Ye will personally set up a banquet to entertain the two ladies in the evening." ”
"Okay," Mrs. Luo took Yu's hand, "You are also tired, go over and rest first, just as if this is your own home, tell Miss Rong if you lack anything." ”
Guo Nianlun is a foreign man, as soon as he leaves the Qingtai Courtyard, he will go to the outer courtyard with Luo Xuchu, Gao pulled him and instructed a few more words, Luo Qingrong also told Luo Xuchu to entertain his cousin well, and everyone parted ways.
Zhang Lan is the first time to return to the Donglai Courtyard, but I didn't expect this courtyard to be so big, three into the courtyard, the first into the front of the five rooms sitting north and facing south, in the middle of the main hall by Luo Qingrong, as a living room, the left corner of the bedroom as a bedroom, the right side of the room as a study, each side of the house has an ear room, the front and back two into the hugging building, for the maids and women to live, the back two in, no need to see, probably this is also the pattern.
"The niece thought that it was rare for her aunt to get together with her aunt, so she didn't open the yard again," Luo Qingrong pointed to the hand-copying verandah next to the ear room, "If you hit here, you have to go directly to the back, Sister Xueying and Sister Shan, just live in the small courtyard at the back, and it will be quieter." ”
Just looking at the layout of the courtyard, the furnishings, and the people who are in danger and solemn, you can know that the Luo family has put a lot of thought into it, and Yu smiled at Zhang Lan gratefully, "With Mrs. Laohou, we will stay for a few days, so we don't have to bother so much." ”
"This is Qingrong's filial piety, she rarely sees her relatives, naturally she hopes that you will live as long as possible, even my old lady also hopes that people will be more lively," Zhang Lan said politely, "I still have something in my yard, so I won't stay long, if there is anything like the old lady said, just tell Qingrong." ”
Looking at Zhang Lan, who turned to leave, Yu and Gao were stunned, "What's wrong with this person?" Gao's face sank, and he was about to speak, but was grabbed by Yu, "Let's go into the house and take a look at the room that Qingrong has arranged for us." ”
After the two girls returned to their yard to settle down, Yu pulled Luo Qingrong to sit down, "You stepmother, it's not easy to get along?" "If their arrival makes it difficult for the niece, the Yu family will go to the British mansion for two days, save the face of their relatives, and go back to the British mansion.
"I think my stepmother's origin and aunt have also heard of it," Luo Qingrong was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Lan's performance, but she knew Zhang Lan's temperament too well, and if she thought it had nothing to do with her, she didn't even bother to cooperate, not to mention that she "robbed" her of the right to take charge of the family, "Uncle doesn't have to think too much, just live in peace, father and grandmother have their own opinions." ”
"We're not afraid that you will be wronged," Gao shook his head at Zhang Lan's style, people like them, there are guests at home, and it is common to live for a year and a half, not to mention that they come to Beijing, and they have enough hands with them, where do you need to look at people's faces to live, "That Zhang family treats you badly?" Now that your aunt is back, and it won't be long before your uncle comes back, you can boldly say that someone has come forward for you. "Gao's temperament is not as kind as her sister, and she has also developed a temper as a wife in Gansu over the years, and she doesn't take Zhang Lan in her eyes at all.
"Really not, aunt, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who is bullied, if you don't believe it, just call the rich mother and mother to ask," Luo Qingrong pursed his lips and smiled, his apricot eyes were slightly sour, and in this way, he could only hear it from his aunt.
"Okay, I don't think that Zhang is completely rude," Yu glanced at his sister-in-law, "You just believe in it." ”
After Luo Qingrong left, the Yu family talked to the Gao family in detail, this Zhang Lan, she had already heard what Mama Ai said, and now Zhang Lan can be said to be just the nominal housewife of the Luo family, and the power is in the hands of her daughter Luo Qingrong, "Don't you know the sour taste in Zhang's words?" Besides, Ru Xian's daughter, will she be a fool? ”
"Is this house actually in charge of affairs?" The Gao family also felt incredible, and immediately worried, "Isn't my sister-in-law entering Beijing just for the family affairs of the two girls, if this Zhang family ignores it, it will not be easy for us to do it." "With Mrs. Wu'anhou leading, they can go in and out of various social occasions, after all, the Gao family has faded out of the capital for decades, and the Guo family has no foundation in the capital at all.
"Hey, without Zhang Butcher, can we still eat pigs with hair?" Yu Shi didn't worry about this at all, "I can't pass half a month, but the old lady's birthday in this mansion, have you forgotten?" Every year, we have a birthday gift, and now the Luo family is in the limelight, are you afraid that you won't come? Besides, I'm in Beijing, can I go to the palace to say hello to the girls? ”
"Also, I just don't know what the princes are like, Xue Ying's child, no matter his background or appearance, it is enough to be a princess." Yu's mind Gao is very clear, these years to the German Emperor has successively transferred the generals and princes of the towns to the capital, to put it better, is not willing to see these Yong'an Dynasty heroes suffering outside, generation after generation for Yong'an Jiangshan to work hard, in fact, is not willing to a clan in a certain place to form a force, into a big trend, but for these generals who have been operating in the border for decades, the capital for them, is just a place to come once every three years to report on their work, even if there is a family here, it is like a foreign land, What's more, after Yongan Taizu founded the country, he swore to never lose the monarch and ministers with the original ministers of the dragon, and when he sent the generals to the border pass, he was also allowed to bring his wife and children, so the oldest British family with the oldest qualifications, in the capital, can be said to be already a black eye, and there is no relationship network of their own.
"Alas, how can the princess be so good? You look at the light appearance and character, you can take charge of the house at a young age, where can my stupid daughter compare? It's still like this motherless, and the ladies of other people's families don't know what it's like," Yu didn't know what it was like, "Let's look at the situation in the capital, let's talk to the old lady when we have leisure." "If it really doesn't work, even if the family is lower, as long as the future is good, it is not impossible to consider.
