forty-four
Zhang Lan glanced at the small and delicate pocket watch in Luo Qingrong's hand, the whole case seemed to be made of ivory, carved with delicate patterns. In the era she lives in, pocket watches have been eliminated, so she has never seen a real pocket watch, but her self-esteem does not allow her to take that thing from Luo Qingrong's hand, "Actually, this thing, if it can be worn on the wrist, it will have an extra decoration." ”
My mother has always had a lot of strange ideas, Luo Qingrong was not surprised, and said with a light smile, "It's still my mother who is well-informed." ”
Zhang Lan looked at the flower-like girl in front of her and was stunned for a while, Luo Qingrong was not half curious about her words, nor did she show a look of understanding, she couldn't help but sigh that her "daughter" was scheming, "Where are you going to go?" ”
"I don't think my mother knows, my grandmother was windy last night, and I felt a little uncomfortable in the morning, and now I heard that the imperial doctor has left, I went with my sister to see my grandmother," Russell Juan's eyes were full of disdain, so unfilial, and unfilial to be a woman who was not ashamed of her integrity, she really saw it for the first time, is it the same people in the countryside?
"Your grandmother is sick?" Zhang Lan was shocked, she was so tired these days, she asked Yulu to sue for a sick illness in the morning, and she didn't go to her mother-in-law to say goodbye at all, and no one even told her that Qi's illness was wrong, "I'm also busy all day like a headless fly, let's go, let's go and see together." ”
"Is the medicine fried? Mother is inseparable from no one here, how hard you have to work, aren't there a few mothers to help you in family affairs? Luo Yuanpeng left early, and he didn't know that Zhang Lan didn't come to ask for peace in the morning, and thought that she was busy with family affairs in Zhengjitang.
"Uh, I know," Zhang Lan blushed, and she didn't dare to look at the people around her, she had come to the capital for half a year, she had figured out that the Yong'an Dynasty was more than the word "filial piety", even if she was dissatisfied, she had to put on an absolutely filial look, it was really "mother-in-law wants you to die, you have to lie down immediately", so the Qi family, who is lukewarm to her, is also a good mother-in-law from another aspect, at least she doesn't toss her every day, and she doesn't say much when she goes out to do business.
"Second uncle, you really don't know our Mrs. Hou so well," Luo Ayajin heard that her grandmother was sick early in the morning, and hurriedly rushed over from the palace, so she knew about Zhang Lan's illness, "Second aunt, aren't you feeling unwell?" I was originally going to let Imperial Doctor Chang take a look at you, but I was afraid that I would be ashamed of you, so I forgot it. ”
"You, you again," Luo Yuanpeng's face sank, "You come out with me!" Zhang Lan has been in the outside business for a while, and he didn't listen to his persuasion several times, but the Qi family helped to speak, saying that when she was hot for a while, she would not be weak in business when she had children again, but Zhang Lan had never put her mother-in-law in her heart, and she pretended to be sick three times and didn't come to ask for peace, which made Luo Yuanpeng very annoyed.
"Master Hou," Ruian Hall was full of people, Zhang Lan was not good at being coquettish, and bowed her head and said, "The concubine knows that she is wrong, she is too busy outside the house these days, and I feel a headache in the morning, so I sent Yulu to tell my mother, who knows that the girl didn't tell me about my mother's illness, otherwise I would have come to serve." ”
"Hmph," Luo Yuanpeng was worried about Zhang Lan's face in front of his children, "Don't go in yet?!" ”
Zhang Lan entered Mrs. Luo's bedroom and saw that Luo Qingrong was helping Mrs. Luo to lean on herself, while Luo Sujuan took a small bowl of blue and white spoons to feed her grandmother medicine, she was young and not skilled, "Sujuan, let me come, you are too young, just look at it~"
Russell Juanyi dodged Zhang Lan's outstretched hand, "I'm afraid my mother hasn't done it yet, so let me come," said and smiled sweetly at Qi's family, "As long as grandmother can get better soon, Su Juan is willing to come over every day to feed grandmother medicine." ”
"I don't have any major problems, people will inevitably get sick when they get old," Qi Shi finished drinking the medicine, and then rinsed Luo Ayajin's hand before saying, "A few of them came to trouble me, and they will be cured of any diseases." ”
"It's the daughter-in-law who was negligent," Qi said, Zhang Lan became more and more embarrassed, "You also know, the shop is too busy these days, and I can't take care of it~"
"Yes, because you are busy in your own shop, so you don't care about being filial to your parents, the second aunt just say this in front of our own people, if it is spread out, I am afraid that outsiders will think that this is the meaning of the second uncle," Luo Ayajin did not spare Zhang Lan a word, her grandmother was treated slowly by her concubine and daughter-in-law, which she couldn't tolerate the most, and she must tell her grandmother when she went back!
"I didn't mean that, the county lord said it seriously," Zhang Lan smiled bitterly and looked at Luo Qingrong wistfully, "Qingrong knows, I'm busy with the New Year this month, and I'm really a little powerless." "It turns out that there are so many rules for the New Year in ancient times, just those human contacts make her one head and two big, not to mention that the upper head moves her mouth, and the lower part runs and breaks her legs, all the big and small things in this house are arranged by her mother, plus the shop is newly opened, and it is the best time for the New Year's business, not to mention Qi's illness, even if Zhang Lan is sick herself, she will work hard to support it.
"Okay, your second aunt also has her difficulties, this family is not good," Qi patted Luo Ayajin's hand and signaled her not to get along with Zhang Lan anymore, "I'm fine here, you go back quickly, the Queen Mother is afraid that she won't feel at ease in the palace, go back and tell her that I'm okay, let her not worry." ”
"Granddaughter should stay with you for another day," Luo Ayajin looked at her grandmother's old face, she was a few years older than her grandmother, obviously her grandmother was her sister, "Granddaughter can't bear you~"
"My sister went back today to tell the Queen Mother about her grandmother's illness, and it also saved her from worrying all the time, and it would be better to come back tomorrow," Luo Qingrong understood Luo Ayajin's state of mind the most, because in her previous life, Mrs. Luo died of illness in the spring, and in this life, what she hopes most is to be by her grandmother's side more, and do her best to let her grandmother live longer and live more smoothly.
"You all disperse, I'm fine," Seeing that Luo Ayajin was gone, Old Madam Luo suddenly lost her spirit, "It's late, you all go back." ”
"Mother, let the Zhang family serve you here," Luo Yuanpeng was rarely so stubborn, "She married into the Luo family, not only to be Mrs. Hou, but also to fulfill the duties of being a daughter-in-law and a daughter." ”
"I can't see that my body is going to work, fortitude, your sister-in-law, do you have to wait for another three years? How old are you? Old Madam Luo's originally dim eyes were covered with a layer of shadow at some point, and whether she and Zhang Lan could see each other was not the most important thing at all, "Even if the Zhang family doesn't care about the position of the son of this world, but Brother Xu still needs a few more brothers to help him, do you bear to let Luo's room wither day by day?" ”
There is a saying "fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers," for Luo Yuanpeng, the more children and grandchildren, the better, for a family, the prosperity of children and grandchildren is the symbol of a family's prosperity, and himself, there is only one son like Luo Xuchu under his knees, although everything is good, but there is a mother born as a slave.
"Zhang's family is still young~" Luo Yuanpeng's mouth was bitter, he wanted Zhang Lan to give birth to a son-in-law for him, but it would take three years in the blink of an eye, Zhang Lan did not move, and he was not allowed to go to the concubine's room, not to mention the room, for the family of Chengxun, it was simply a big unfilial piety. But when he thought of Zhang Lan's temperament, Luo Yuanpeng had another headache, and he would occasionally go to Aunt Jin without telling Zhang Lan that he would go to Aunt Jin for a while, but if Aunt Jin was pregnant, it would be a troublesome matter.
"It's a good thing that you spoil your wife," Old Madam Luo sighed, "But you also have to pay attention to the matter of the heir, are you going to let Brother Xu recognize the name of the Gao family in the future?" ”
Luo Yuanpeng Khan has already come down, he is already thirty years old, of course he wants his own son-in-law, but now if Luo Xuchu is recognized under the name of the Gao family, then in the future Zhang Lan will give birth to a son-in-law, this family is afraid that it will be difficult to be harmonious, but Luo Xuchu will not be recognized under the name of the Gao family, if there is really no sister-in-law in his name, Luo Xuchu will be like himself, and he will be despised everywhere, "Mother, I will ask the Taiyi Lang from the Tai Hospital to come over when I go back," Lang Taiyi is the best at women's medicine, let him see, Luo Yuanpeng also has some numbers in his heart.
"Your daughter-in-law, smart is smart, but smart doesn't have to be on the right place," Mrs. Luo seemed to have encountered an unsolvable problem, "Don't say that it is a wealthy family, even if it is a family of ordinary people, there is no one for a year, I am afraid that the daughter-in-law has long been anxious to seek medical advice and medicine to pray to God and worship Buddha, what do you say about her?" What is she doing? If it takes another three or five years for a son-in-law to be born, and Brother Xu is older again, what do you think it will be like? ”
Shu is strong and weak, Luo Yuanpeng's eyes flashed, he was born in a noble family, and he didn't leave anything behind, "My son knows." ”
"No matter what you think, you have to come up with an idea," Old Madam Luo looked away, "I won't be able to last long, and when the time comes, I will go to ask the ancestors of the Luo family to ask for guilt, but do you want to wait for another three years?" ”
"Mother must not say that," Luo Yuanpeng knelt directly in front of Qi's knees, "My son has not been filial to his mother yet, even if you look at Aya Jin and her light appearance, you must get better." ”
"Old lady, you are~" Mama Li sent Luo Yuanpeng out, and came back to sit on the footrest next to Qi's bed, although there was no sound on the bed, but Mama Li knew that her master was not asleep.
"Aunt Jin seems to have moved over there, she has some ability," Qi said softly, "I can't do nothing, after all, it's the child of the Luo family." ”
"Ancestor, you are really merciful," he actually worked so hard for the sake of a concubine's child, if he put others aside, he was afraid that he would be watching the excitement in the water residence from the sidelines.
Mercy? Mrs. Luo looked at the five bats holding longevity patterns mixed with gold silk on the turmeric Luo tent, Aunt Jin can conceive a child, and she and Luo Yuanpeng and the Luo family are all good things, and Zhang Lan, it seems that she is not a bad person in the past half a year, but she is stupid, such a person can not be placed in the position of Mrs. Wu'anhou, the title of Wu'an Marquis gave birth to her son, it is better to give it to Luo Xuchu, who has been raised by her side since she was a child, although the child does not have any particularly outstanding appearance, but after the Luo family and the queen mother go, they can not show the mountain dew, and it is good to be safe. What's more, he grew up with his granddaughter, just like a brother and sister, if Zhang Lan's child is knighted, his three granddaughters are afraid that they will lose their shoulders.
