Chapter 8 Old Lady Liu

When He Changan knew the news that his aunt He Xunyu was coming, He Xunyu had already set off from Jiangyin with his daughter Shi Qi for three days. Although it was not easy to travel all the way, after another seven days, the mother and daughter arrived at Gongchangbo's Mansion with four maids close to them, a grandmother and a steward.

Early in the morning of September 17, Shi He's sent the manager to come to the ceremony in advance, and the carriage was about to arrive at noon, so He Changan didn't dare to slack off, and got up early to let Biluo dress himself.

Biluo's injury is not very neat, this period of recuperation has been to the silver needle ear face, what to say, what not to say, the silver needle is also obedient, this time there are a lot less words, people are more diligent than when they first came to Xuehuazhai.

However, on this day, Biluo still stood up and waited by Chang'an's side, while Yinzhen stood aside and opened the wardrobe to pick out the clothes for Chang'an to wear to welcome his aunt today.

"Miss, how do you look at one?" Silver Needle took out a set of sky blue embroidered peacock pattern silk jacket skirts.

Biluo was giving Chang'an a haircut, and Chang'an turned his head slightly: "Well, it's not bad, that's it." ”

The sky-blue Lu silk jacket skirt is ninety percent new in style, and the texture of the Lu silk is also very good. Lu silk is different from Shu brocade, although it is precious, but it is a material that the upper circle of the imperial capital can afford, and it will not look ostentatious when worn out.

Because Chang'an's father and Shi He's family were not born to the same mother, Chang'an didn't need to wait at the door early to greet him, but he had to go to the old lady early to say goodbye.

Chang'an took a deep breath, this was the first time she had seen Gong Changbo's old lady Liu after she was reborn.

After cleaning up, the fine rui beside the Bai family came over to spread the word, saying that the Bai family asked Chang'an to take Biluo to go to Chunxuan Hall first, and then go to the old lady to say goodbye.

When he came to Bai's Chunxuan Hall, Bai looked Chang'an up and down, stroked Chang'an's forehead lovingly, and his eyes were full of pity: "My son, if you go to your grandmother today, you will inevitably have some grievances." And your aunt, when she was a girl at home, because she was a girl at home, she was inevitably a little arrogant, and now I haven't seen her for more than ten years, I don't know what she looks like, but with your grandmother here, I'm afraid she won't be able to stop. ”

Chang'an nodded: "Mother rest assured, my daughter can save it, my grandmother is old, and there are some things that my daughter is a grandchild will follow." If you quarrel with your grandmother everywhere and make your family restless, it will not be your grandmother's unkindness, but your daughter's unfilial piety. If that's the case, then don't want her daughter's reputation. ”

Bai Shi took his daughter in his arms, hugged him closer, and tears welled up in his eyes: "My son, I have really grown up, and now I am twelve years old, I can see it so thoroughly, I don't have to worry about it in the future......"

Chang'an hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped away Bai's tears: "Mother, don't cry, if you go to the harmony hall with red eyes, I'm afraid that my grandmother will say that my mother is not the mother again." ”

Bai Shi nodded, took Xirui's hand, and Chang'an took Biluo, and the four of them went to the Harmony Hall together.

Although it was the middle of September, the weather had just cooled down a little, but the Liu family in the Harmony Hall couldn't stand the cold and had already instructed the maid to warm up the charcoal pot.

A maid wearing a ginger jacket with clear eyebrows walked up to Liu Shi with a blue-blue porcelain tea cup: "Old lady, this is the Ming Qian tea left this year, although it is not the top of the new one, but it is the second master who asked for it from Lord Shangshu before, there are not a few taels in total, all of them are used to honor the old lady, old lady, try it." ”

Liu's hair has turned slightly gray, about the old Gong Changbo went early, and he has not been able to maintain it as much as when he was young over the years, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are also a little obvious, but as soon as he heard his personal maid mention his own son, his face smiled as if a flower had bloomed: "Jiao Ying, sure enough, your mouth is sweet, and you coax my old wife to get up early in the morning and feel comfortable." ”

Jiao Ying did not shirk: "It is the blessing of the slave maid to make the old lady feel comfortable." But old lady, there is another thing, you should be even more happy to hear it. ”

"Oh?" the old lady raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiao Ying.

"Just after the fourth watch today, my aunt and grandmother sent the little steward brought from the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion to report, saying that it would be there at noon today. The old lady hasn't seen her aunt and grandmother for eleven years, and this time her aunt and grandmother brought Miss Shi Biao back, can the old lady not be happy?"

Liu's joy was even stronger, and he quickly stood up and asked Jiao Ying to carefully groom herself, and chattered: "Sister Xun urged me every day how to dress well when I was still at home, and after she got married, no one talked in my ear every day, and I became more and more lazy, and my makeup was passable." If Sister Xun comes back and sees me like this, she will definitely be chattering again. ”

Jiao Ying picked up Liu's and echoed: "What the old woman said is exact, the eldest aunt and grandmother did that because she was worried about the old lady in her heart." The second master and the eldest aunt and grandmother are the most filial. ”

As soon as Liu sat down in front of the dressing mirror, he saw another big girl and a butterfly hurriedly walk in and said: "Old lady, Mrs. brought Miss Chang'an to greet you, saying that she was waiting for the eldest aunt and grandmother to come back to Guining, you see ......"

Liu's brows furrowed: "The daughter-in-law of Success has been soft and weak since she came in, she has been sick all day long, and the decoction does not leave her mouth, and she will not come if she can ask for peace." It's just that after the last time my eldest sister fell into the water, I felt as if she had something in her heart. Although the power of the housekeeper is still in my hands, I always feel that the successful daughter-in-law may have to make a move. ”

Jiao Ying persuaded on the side: "Old lady, Jiao Ying feels that you are too worried." Everyone knows that Madame's health is not good, when Madame was still Miss Boudoir, didn't you also hear that she was the weakest and most unassertive girl in the Liang Guogong Mansion, so she came to the door to ask the uncle to marry? Miss Ping'an is the daughter of the princess, she is just the princess's concubine, can she still settle accounts with the princess?"

Liu poked Jiao Ying's forehead: "You know everything." When the Bai family didn't enter the door more than ten years ago, there were no you, your mother told you, right?"

Jiao Ying smiled: "It's all the old lady who is sympathetic to my mother, so that my mother is now a first-class mother in charge of the house, and my father is also a second housekeeper in the house." If there was no old lady, how could the slave and maid eat and dress so well now? You see that you gave the slave and maid this ginger dress in surprise, so the slave and maid don't have to wear the green of the house. Therefore, the life of Jiaoying's whole family is the old lady's, and the slave's heart must be towards the old lady. ”

Liu was complacent, she was He Chenggong's stepmother back then, and her stepmother was not easy to be. When the stepson gets married and marries a daughter-in-law, she has to talk nonsense outside, saying that her stepmother treats her stepson harshly, and even a better daughter-in-law refuses to tell her stepson. If the door is too high, if you come in, you will definitely have to delegate power, then the status that you have accumulated in Gongchangbo's Mansion with great difficulty will not be in vain.

It was easy to choose thousands of choices, and then I chose the eldest daughter of the old Liang Guogong, although she was the eldest daughter, but her temperament was soft, and her body was weak, and it was easy for her to handle it, and it came from the mother's family of the princess at that time, and the door was naturally not bad.

It's not easy to get this reputation.

Listening to Jiao Ying's relief, and thinking about his good reputation back then, Liu's heart felt a lot more comfortable: "You are right, the successful daughter-in-law is a weak and easy to handle, the eldest sister followed her, and she was sick at both ends in three days. Now let them in first, please be safe, only I make them uncomfortable, can they still make me unhappy?"

Impatiently waved his hand at Xi Die: "Go, invite Mrs. and eldest sister in." Let them wait in the bright room first, I will wait for Jiaoying to clean up for me and then go out, let the kitchen prepare a few more breakfasts today, and I will also leave their mother and daughter here to eat something before going back, so as not to appear that I am not kind as a mother-in-law and grandmother. ”

Although it was invited, there was still the boss's reluctance on his face.

Chang'an followed the Bai family and sat obediently on the right hand side of the Harmony Hall Mingma'er, looking around.

Mingde Hall is very large, the light in the courtyard hits in, it seems that the whole room is spacious and bright, a large chair in the middle is made of fine rosewood carved flowers, it looks extraordinary, there is a large vase of blue and white porcelain ice cracks on both sides, the ice crack vase is not easy to fire, a pair of is even more rare, obviously, this Liu is not a deep-minded person, looking at this, but a person who is not very smart but loves to show his cleverness everywhere.

suddenly remembered the Bai family, no wonder her mother was so low-key in front of the old lady Liu, compared to the Liu family, the Bai family is a really smart person.

Hibernate and standby to hit with one hit!

Stretched out his hand and pulled Bai's hand: "Mother, why hasn't my grandmother come yet, is she feeling unwell?"

Bai looked at Chang'an lovingly: "Probably your grandmother hasn't finished dressing up yet, your aunt is coming back to Guining today, and your grandmother naturally wants to dress up." You know, back then, your aunt was the most beautiful, and she was almost the vane of the little girls in Beijing. ”

As soon as Bai's words fell, he heard Liu's voice ringing next to him, full of energy, not at all like a woman over fifty years old, but there was a little majesty in his voice: "The bodies and bones of the successful daughter-in-law and eldest sister are good?"
