Chapter Eighty-Six: Lalang Matching

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Chang'an got up early in the morning, she only felt refreshed, it seems that her mother's decision to let her not interfere in the affairs of the Spring Festival director is indeed correct, she has been very free in the past two days, and Hua Nan often takes the time to come over and tell her a lot of things before Lu Cheng, although most of these things happened when Hua Nan and Ye Hibiscus were by Lu Cheng's side together, but maybe it was because she looked at the problem from a different perspective and thought about different people, so it didn't sound boring at all.

When Hua Nan chatted with He Changan, she felt that He Changan was indeed a very good person, many times when you just wanted to talk about it and didn't want to discuss, she would be a listener quietly, and when you wanted to hear what the other party had to say, she would also insert a sentence or two just right, not much, but every word.

At first, he regarded He Changan as his master, mostly because of Lu Cheng, but later he felt that He Changan was both a master and a friend.

Bai's asked Mama Yang to come over early in the morning to help He Chang'an make up, Biluo helped on the side, and this makeup took half an hour, and finally Biluo put on the pair of jade flower earrings given by Mrs. Liang Guogong on He Chang'an's ears, and put the pair of pendants sent by Mrs. Liang Guogong on her wrist.

After He Chang'an finished dressing up, he followed Mama Yang and took Biluo to greet Bai's family, and Bai's daughter was also very satisfied when she looked at her daughter, who was quite beautiful after dressing up: "Mother's good daughter has grown up, and now she is more and more lovely." People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, my mother and my sister-in-law's vision is not bad, this earrings and bracelets are the most suitable for the eldest sister. ”

Although He Chang'an has points to wonder about Bai's performance today, he thinks about it probably because he followed Bai back to his grandfather's house today, and the jewelry on his body was given by someone from the Liang Guogong Mansion.

He Jiaqing came a little late, and when he entered the door, he said goodbye: "My son is late, my mother should not blame my son, my son really can't bear to disturb the family fun between his mother and sister, so he is deliberately late." ”

Bai Shi looked at this more and more promising heir, and his heart was full of happiness, and the smile was always written on his face: "You, it's obvious that you are late, and you want your sister to be an excuse." But there was not the slightest hint of harshness in his words.

He Jiaqing also laughed: "The son's little trick can't get into the eyes of the mother at all, but it's just a smile from the mother, and it's just a good lottery in the New Year, if the mother doesn't even give this little bit of color to her son, the son will never follow." ”

Bai Shi turned around and asked Xi Rui to take the piece of inkstone carved with a gentleman's bamboo pattern that had been prepared to the side a long time ago, handed it to He Jiaqing, looked at the surprise on He Jiaqing's face, and said with satisfaction: "Mother knows that you don't want to love those gold, silver and jewelry, etc., if you only press the silver on Chinese New Year's Eve, it will seem that the mother is not only stingy, but also tacky, this is how I prepared this inkstone, it seems that my mother is right." ”

He Jiaqing knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Bai's head: "The elder gives it, it is unacceptable, no matter what kind of color the mother gives her son, the son will feel happy." It's just that today's colorful head, the son is not only happy, but also overjoyed. ”

"Last year, I opened the ancestral hall of the He family clan and recorded you and Sister Wang'er in my name, this year is the first year that we have a son-in-law in Gongchang Bofu, and my mother naturally values you. And you happen to be the first year as a sister-in-law, go to the Liangguo Mansion to meet your grandmother and uncle, everything must be done in a good proportion, and you must not lose the face of Gongchangbo's Mansion and your mother and me. ”

He Jiaqing bowed again: "My son will definitely remember his identity as Gong Chang's uncle's son-in-law, take care of his mother's face, and also take care of his sister." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Chang'an deeply, and when he looked at Chang'an like this, it reminded Chang'an of the night she promised Lu Cheng, and his face turned red again.

But He Jiaqing turned his head again and asked seriously, "I wonder if Sister Wang'er will follow her mother back to the Liangguo Mansion today?"

Bai sighed: "Naturally, I want it, I agreed to record Sister Wang'er as a concubine that day, I really don't want to have an expedient measure for one more sister-in-law, I may not be able to give it, but I have to do enough to save face." If I go back to the door today and bring you but don't bring my sister, I'm afraid that the outside will say that my mother-in-law is unkind. ”

He Changan nodded, but thought in his heart that the Bai family was a smart person, but after all, he cared too much about reputation all his life, so he naturally lived a tired life. Thinking about herself again, she promised Lu Cheng, can she really live a life that doesn't care about fame and just wants to be comfortable and happy? I'm afraid that the royal rules are bigger, and I definitely can't.

Because He Wang'an is a child after all, he was greedy for fun on Chinese New Year's Eve and suffered a little cold, so he came relatively late, and when the carriage of Gongchangbo Mansion arrived at the Liang Guogong Mansion, He Chang'an found with sharp eyes that the other carriages in the stable came, and only their carriage was missing.

Entered the grandmother Chen's house, only to find that the room was originally quite large, but now it is very cramped because it is full of people, among the elders, there are grandmothers and two pairs of uncles and aunts, and He Chang'an was surprised that the third aunt, who has been more than four months pregnant, actually came with a belly, and there was a round-faced woman who had never seen before standing next to the third aunt, and the eyebrows and eyes were a little similar to the third aunt, and I thought it was the second aunt who had never met.

"He Changan has seen his grandmother, his eldest uncle, his second uncle, his eldest aunt, his second aunt, and his second aunt and third aunt. ”

The second aunt was surprised that Chang'an knew herself, and happily rewarded a pair of red gold bracelets, which were inlaid with a lot of rubies, and seemed to know that although it was not an elegant thing, it was worth a lot of money: "When I married to Gansu, Chang'an, this girl was not born yet, so many years, whether it was the eldest sister who added Chang'an, or the third sister who added Brother Lin, I can only know in the letter from my mother's family to Gansu, because Gansu is far away, every time the gift is late." This time, I was able to personally deliver the gifts I had prepared for my nephew and my niece's daughter. However, the Chang'an girl had never seen me before, but she could guess my identity, which was really smart. ”

The Duke of Liang has never been in the habit of treating concubines harshly, the second aunt married the concubine of Dingxi Bo Wang Bi, which can be regarded as a good family, and the concubine can not inherit the title, and after the second aunt marries, Dingxi Bo divided the family, gave the concubine a lot of property, and let him set up another door. This second aunt is also a brain-wielding, although he is not a material for a career, but he is very good at business, and in just a few years, he has more than ten times increased his family income from Dingxibo, and it is no wonder that the second aunt has a comfortable life.

The second aunt gave birth to three sons to Wang Zhenghai in a row, but there were no daughters, so she was very kind to see Chang'an.

Chang'an thanked the second aunt in a proper manner, and went to greet a few of his peers: "Big cousin, second cousin, cousin of the Wang family and cousin of the Xu family, cousin Si, cousin You, cousin Ci, cousin Hui is good......" The second aunt rushed from Gansu this time, but only brought her eldest son, Chang'an didn't know his name, so he had to follow Xu Huanche's name, calling the cousin of the Wang family.

Then he saw Du Ruo standing beside Bai Ci, and said with some embarrassment: "Sister Du Ruo." ”

He Changan looked at Du Ruo, all the sisters were wearing brightly colored new clothes today, only Du Ruo, it was still the same dress she saw last time, it seemed that there were no new clothes to wear, but the Liang Guogong Mansion would not miss Du Ruo's new clothes, but I didn't know what kind of medicine Du Ruo was still wearing old clothes, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

He Changan was busy looking at Du Ruo, but he didn't notice that Xu Huanche looked at He Changan's eyes for a long time because of the cousin of the Xu family. Of course, Xu Huanche couldn't notice the inexplicable look in Du Ruo's eyes who was standing not far behind him.

The third aunt, Mrs. Bai Yiyun, the wife of the Hou Shizi of Anshun, saw that Chang'an was well-behaved, and she was about to become a mother again, so she said happily: "I like a well-behaved girl like Chang'an, if I can give birth to a daughter in this child, it will be better, you must know that in the Xu family, the son is not valuable, only the daughter is valuable." ”

Bai Shi hurriedly accosted: "Look at the mouth of the third sister, it is getting worse and worse. Whether it is a son or a daughter, it has to be the heart of the third sister. ”

The second aunt Wang Bai covered her mouth and smiled, and then answered: "I envy the third sister very much, now that Brother Huan has grown up, the third sister is pregnant with another one in her belly, it must be that Brother Huan is worried that there will be no one to accompany his mother after marrying his daughter-in-law in the future, God misses his filial piety, and specially gave the third sister a child to accompany him." Look at the three boys in my family, the report is like a cannon, I was really tired of giving birth to their three brothers, and I finally grew up, and I want to marry a daughter-in-law like a cannon, how can it not make me nerve-wracking?" ”

Although he was disgusted, he still turned around and lovingly poked his eldest son's forehead with his hand, and then turned around and asked, "I remember that Brother Huan'er and my second boy are about the same age, but they have started to pick relatives?"

He Changan looked at the third aunt with a full smile on her mouth, but her eyes were always staring in her direction, and she didn't feel a little strange in her heart, but she heard the third aunt say: "I originally planned to give Brother Huan a family affair in the past two years, after all, Brother Huan is the grandson of the Marquis of Anshun, and it is also the wish of his grandmother and grandmother to settle down early." But who would have thought that at this time I was pregnant with this child, I was afraid that I would be powerless about Brother Huan'er's relatives. That's why I have to bother my mother. ”

Saying that, she made a gesture in the direction of Chen, but she had a body, and the second aunt beside her hurriedly supported her, Chen looked at Bai Yiyun, and smiled like a flower on her face: "What do you mean by this, three girls?"

"My in-laws said, mother, you are the duchess of the country, well-informed, and know more people than their two elders, now I am pregnant and worried about it, and ask my mother to help each other take a look, which girl is a good match for Brother Huan. ”

Chen patted his chest: "It turned out to be the meaning of the father-in-law and the mother-in-law, so the mother will not admit it, what do the three girls think, how about the Chang'an girl?"
