Chapter 197: Grandmother, Sister, Mother-in-law, Godmother
Despite a head-on blow to the Tartars' southward march, the prestige of the Al Khan among the tribes was greatly diminished, and the war clouds on the frontier dissipated; Although the queen's 100-day mourning has passed, Jingshi gradually looks like singing and dancing again; However, overnight, sharp-eyed people couldn't help but find that the small firefighters in the palace who were often seen on the street were all gone. The gentlemen of the dignitaries' homes also suddenly disappeared from the Yanle Hutong of Gooqian Hutong. Thinking about these extraordinary signs, ordinary people became much more cautious, and the road naturally became clear.
It's just that not all human relations have avoided this time. On this morning, two groups of guests came to the Yangning Hou Mansion. One is the first time to visit here, the other has only been here twice, the two of them have come down at the second gate to take pictures and communicate with each other, the Jiang family wearing a stone blue cardigan was taken aback, and when he wanted to make a big gift, he was helped up by the county lord of Yixing.
"In the future, we will be a family, and Mrs. doesn't need to be so polite."
Jiang Shi was puzzled when she heard this, she only had such a son, and her mother's relatives didn't have much to do with it, where did the words of this family start? She secretly wondered about it and talked to the county lord of Yixing for a few words, and then gradually understood that the county lord of Yixing wanted to accept Chen Lan as his goddaughter.
She was also from a large family, and after getting married, she did not live well in the capital Bofu, and later moved to Xuanfu before she became peaceful. After that incident, her mother's family persuaded her to break off contact with her, so she naturally knew how many selfish things there were in the so-called mansion, and how difficult it was for the siblings who had no father and mother.
So, the county lord of Yixing praised Chen Lan a lot during the conversation, she was also happy to hear it, and finally smiled: "In the past two days, I have also heard some things about the three girls of the Chen family from my brother, but he is a little shy, almost asking a sentence and answering a sentence, and then he is in a hurry and simply runs to the back to practice the sword, I really can't help him." In fact, I am such a son, he has been self-reliant since he was a child, and I only hope that he can marry someone who he really likes to trust and can support him for a lifetime in the future. Therefore, as soon as the emperor gave me a marriage, I was relieved. ”
The county lord of Yixing was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled slightly. Yang Jinzhou's kid, I don't know how many people have tested the tone in the past, but I don't want to be as the emperor expected, it really has that meaning. If this were not the case, how could Yang Mu Jiang not be surprised after the marriage, but relieved?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Chen Lan hurriedly come out with a few mothers and girls. Thinking that Mrs. Xu was guarding filial piety, Mrs. Ma was afraid that she would be stunned to see her, so she also understood the reason why she personally greeted her, so she simply took a few steps forward, smiled and asked about Zhu's situation these days, and she pulled someone up and turned around and walked towards Jiang.
"This is Mrs. Yang, I'm afraid it's the first time you've seen it, right?"
Although she is not a person who squirms, Chen Lan was still a little nervous when the prospective daughter-in-law saw her future mother-in-law for the first time, and hurriedly saluted, but the next moment she was helped up. Seeing Jiang's eyes calm and clear, and smiling at herself, she unconsciously felt relieved, and then remembered that she seemed to have seen this one.
"You are ......"
Jiang looked at Chen Lan and vaguely remembered that he had indeed met it outside. Along the way, she naturally had to talk to Chen Lan, and after coming and going, she remembered the time when Yueji Silk Village was in the beginning. With that side at the beginning, coupled with the fact that her son undoubtedly had a favor, and seeing his demeanor down-to-earth and generous, her face did not have the arrogance and reserve of those wealthy and noble women, she was satisfied in her heart, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that Qin Hu swore that his son had been thinking about others for a long time.
After passing through the hall of the Tatexiang Courtyard, Mo Xiang and Heling greeted them, and a little girl had already opened the curtain under the eaves. Chen Lan asked the county lord of Yixing and the Jiang clan to enter first, and then followed. When she arrived in the east house, she found that Zhu had already helped Zheng's mother to stand up, and her gaze flashed from the county lord of Yixing and fell directly on Jiang.
Although the Jiang family has just been crowned the second rank lady, in front of the noble daughter of the Yixing county lord and the Zhu family, the lady of the Yangning Marquis, the rank is naturally inferior. But the Yixing county lord said that Mrs. Yangning Hou was an elder, and she smoothed out these grade differences with a slight skill, and the Jiang family only saw it with a junior courtesy. When they sat down, Chen Lan personally served tea, and then quietly flashed out of the room and went straight to the water mirror hall in front of him.
As soon as they saw her coming, the mothers and daughters-in-law who had been waiting under the shade of the trees in the small courtyard immediately stopped whispering and came over to salute with smiles on their faces. Chen Lan just nodded slightly, and then went straight into the Water Mirror Hall. At this time, a housekeeper's mother was returning to the matter, Chen Xi sat there and listened expressionlessly, and when she saw her, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and stood up again. When she went over and sat down, the mother also finished reporting the matter, Chen Xi made a decision in a few words, and ordered the next one to come in.
This is a job that both of them have cooked, but the meal is all done, at this time, Chen Xi found the two girls who withdrew from the head screen, and saw that the red snail with Chen Lan took the initiative to look outside, she immediately took Chen Lan's hand and asked, "Third sister, why are you here?" Stay with the old lady a little longer, so that you can see what kind of person your future mother-in-law is."
"How can this be seen for a while, besides, Mrs. Tai may have something to say to the old lady, I have to avoid it." Chen Lan said this in his mouth, but in his heart he felt that the Jiang family should not be the kind of mother-in-law who was difficult to get along with, but rather a little refreshing and open-minded. It's just that, looking at Chen Xi's sincere appearance, she couldn't help asking, "Don't just ask me, what about you?" Don't forget what I said last time, you're the only one left. ”
"It's not decided yet." Speaking of his own affairs, Chen Xi's face immediately became a little more lonely, "You know, my father came back once last night, and when I discussed it with my aunt, I wasn't there, plus I don't have a confidant, if my aunt doesn't want to say it, I'm completely black......"
Speaking of this, she took a deep breath again: "However, I won't blindly accept my fate, I'm the youngest in the month, I'll take those girls in first, and I can do something." It's a big deal that after I get married, I just keep my heart, can I be more difficult than my aunt? ”
Chen Lan never expected that Chen Xi would give priority to adopting similar methods as himself. However, because she has no father and mother, and Chen Xi's parents are both, she was forced to do so, and she was even more pitiful than her. Thinking of this, she whispered, "It's not so hopeless...... Even if you can't do it on the third uncle and Aunt Luo's side, you might as well talk to the second brother and the fifth brother to discuss. After all, the three of you have been in the capital for many years, and you should always have a better relationship with each other. Even if it is not pierced, there is always a place to solve it. And they will be your trust. ”
"Second brother and fifth brother ......" Chen Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and then she understood what Chen Lan meant, only thinking of her father's calculation of the Changfang sisters and brothers, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and then nodded emphatically, "I understand, thank you third sister." ”
When the two sisters were whispering, in the second room of the landlord of the Tatexiang Courtyard over there, the three elders gradually began to talk. The county lord of Yixing naturally said that the day was set for ten days later, while the Jiang family was aiming to set an auspicious day for marrying at the end of the year, and as for the Zhu family, he was eager to show all the good things about his granddaughter to others. All in all, one party has intentions, one party has sincerity, and one party has affection, and the atmosphere between the three of them, which was still a little rusty at first, gradually became harmonious.
However, after all, Zhu's heart was worried about the old things in the Runing Bo Mansion, and seeing that the conversation was very happy, she had the idea that it would be better to tear it up now than to have a seizure in the future. Whether it was the Yixing County Lord or the Jiang family, they didn't expect the Zhu family to say this on a good day, and they were stunned for a while.
Seeing them in such a situation, the Zhu family sighed again: "The county lord and Mrs. Tai are not outsiders, so I will tell the truth." In my early years, my children were not satisfied, so I put my mind on the outside, thinking about why men can go out and women, and women can't help it, so I did a lot of things that seem unwise now. It's the three girls and the four sisters and brothers, and I neglected them in my early years. It's just that now that I'm old and seriously ill, and I've really seen what the world is turning upside down, I know what sincerity is, what falsehood is, what arms are, and what disasters are......"
As Zhu spoke, his eyes couldn't help but spark, and he couldn't talk anymore. And the county lord of Yixing wanted to find out about the situation of the Chen family in the past, so he couldn't help but be silent. After all, the Jiang family is a person who has experienced endless trials and tribulations with ups and downs, and now that he understands it, he doesn't want to pretend to be confused, so he nodded calmly.
"I understand what the old lady said. If you talk about the inheritance of the title, the events of the year have passed, and besides, the lord let the lord go first, and what happened to the family actually has nothing to do with the title. When the first master was alive, he told me and my brother that he didn't hate, he didn't complain, but he didn't want me and my brother to be aggrieved for this point for a lifetime, so let's just live a good life according to our own hearts, and just return to the ancestral hall and so on. When he passed away five years ago, he never mentioned anything about the past. Therefore, you really don't have to remember what happened back then, Hugh said that it was the emperor's marriage, even if it was just because the whole brother was interested, and the third girl knew Hui Zhilanxin at a glance, I would treat her like my own daughter. ”
Treating a daughter-in-law like a daughter-in-law is not a promise that only one mother-in-law has said, however, from the mouth of the Jiang family, this statement seems to be convincing. The county lord of Yixing couldn't help but laugh when he caught a glimpse of the gratitude and relaxation on Zhu's face.
"Okay, it's good that you have spoken thoroughly today, and this marriage will be more at ease. Listening to that, I might as well interject a few words. After a while, the emperor will have a decree to let Mr. Yang enter the ancestral hall of Runing Bozong, and some Zhuangtian will be returned at that time. The emperor also regretted what happened back then, and now that he has made a meritorious service, he has to compensate for it. ”

Pink has finally exceeded 200, so let's search for it and vote for two more votes, okay?
