Chapter Forty-Six: New Year's Greetings

Or maybe she is about to get married, and there are many restrictions on traveling in the future like being a maid, and Aunt Gan intends to let her see her relatives for Gan Yu.

If Aunt Gan really thinks this way, Gan Tang will feel that Aunt Gan's inner world is too rich and she dares to think about anything.

What Aunt Gan thinks now, Gan Tang doesn't know yet, compared to figuring out these now, what she has to do next is also very important.

Chinese New Year's Eve has passed, and it is immediately the first month, and the heads and mothers of the Gan family and the Lu family have agreed that the Lu family will come to pay homage to the new year on the third day, and the Gan family will return the gift on the fourth day.

She is about to face her future in-laws.

On the third day of the new year, from the hour of the hour, Gan Tang dressed up and sat in the room waiting for someone from the front hall to summon her to the hall.

Today, she painted a bright but not gaudy makeup, wore a purple begonia embroidered lily of the valley collared jacket, and pulled a very girly double bun.

She wore a pale butterfly velvet flower and a pair of meniscus hairpins between her hairpins, and then a pair of crisp jingling double bead chains on the back of her head, a pair of silver drop earrings in both ears, a bird-standing branch collar on her neck, and a pair of purple gold bracelets on both wrists.

This kind of dress is extravagant, and there is also a literary atmosphere.

Gantang's facial features are already marked, the white jade-like face plate is first a full forehead, two curved willow eyebrows under the forehead, a pair of almond eyes that seem childish and innocent, eyelashes like crow feathers, pupils like paint, a small nose with smooth nose, lip petals like flowers, bright but not gaudy makeup, it seems that she is very gentle and lovely, full of vitality.

At three o'clock, someone came to spread the word that Gan Tang went to the front hall to meet guests.

Gan Tang put on his cloak and was escorted by the waiter to the front hall.

Along the way, she could see the small servants of Ganfu's unloading horses carrying all kinds of boxes to the second gate and handing them over to the mother-in-law in the inner courtyard.

When those mothers-in-law saw Gan Tang coming, they all saluted with her with joy, and it was only later that Gan Tang learned that it was Lu Fu who came to visit this time and brought a whole nine cars of gifts to the door, and the one who sang the gift list sang for a whole hour before finishing the gift list.

Gan Tang was a little distressed, this time the Gan and Lu families visited each other, the Gan family picked up things from the Gan family's treasury and sent them out, naturally, the gifts brought by the Lu Mansion were only given to Gan Tang, and the others had to be included in the Ganfu treasury.

But the gifts prepared by the Gan family, Gan Tang has already read the gift list, and when it is full, it only has five carriages, and the Lu family has lost four carriages.

It took a quarter of an hour to walk from the embroidery hall to the flower hall for hospitality, and when Gan Tang arrived at the flower hall, the Lu family had already sat down and chatted with their grandmother.

Gan Tang lowered her head all the way and lowered her eyes, only feeling that she was being watched deeply by a warm gaze when she walked around the screen, and when she saluted with her own parents, and then was led by her grandmother to salute Lu Xunniang, that gaze disappeared.

The Duchess of Yanguo is satisfied with Gan Tang's daughter-in-law, if it weren't for the accident of the Gan family, Lu Xun and Gan Tang would have already made a marriage contract, so this meeting was very pleasant, the only regret is that Gan Tang and Lu Xun did not have the opportunity to meet.

Lu Xun, as a man, officially visited his future father-in-law's house for the first time, and he was to be pulled to meet Gantang's bunch of uncles and cousins.

Separated by a screen, Gan Tang heard from time to time that there were questions and answers about the examination of historical documents, or the praise of several people for the mountains and rivers of the Fu Dynasty.

Gan Tang discerned Lu Xun's proud but unassuming voice, and knew that he had behaved very well in this meeting, at least the elders of the Gan family had been conquered by him.

Gan Tang couldn't help but think that his parents had spirits in the sky, and they would be very satisfied to see such an outstanding Lang Jun as Lu Xun become their daughter's husband.

The Lu family stayed at the Gan family until the end of Shen Shi before leaving.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the Gan family set off from home at all times and arrived at the Yanguo Mansion at three o'clock.

Yesterday, the scene of Ganfu entertaining the Lu family was very lively, and today's scene of Yanguo Mansion entertaining Ganfu is not far behind.

Yesterday is the same but different from today, Lu Xun and Gan Tang's relatives who have not yet come out of the five suits know each other, and today is Gan Tang and the relatives of the Lu family to meet each other.

It was also at this time that Gan Tang knew that this generation of the Duke of Yan and the Duchess of Yan were also a couple for a lifetime.

And the two of them are also very blessed with many children, having four sons and five daughters, of which the fifth girl and the sixth girl are twins, and they are almost identical.

The two of them are only in their early five years, and it is the time of lawlessness to play, and their eldest sister has quietly told them that the guest who is coming today is their future sister-in-law, and they have to take good care of the guests, so they have been teasing Gan Tang, and the reservation game is to let Gan Tang guess which of them is the little five and who is the little six.

In this regard, Gan Tang admits defeat, whether she remembers the two little girls from her eyes, hair color, or walking style, she can't tell them apart.

Compared with yesterday in Ganfu, the women's seats chatted about the rules and regulations, today in Lu Mansion, there is a group of little guys to mediate the atmosphere, and Gantang is much more comfortable.

"Sister Tang'er, Sister Tang'er, I'll take you to see the plum blossoms, Xiao Wu wants to give Sister Tang'er hairpins."

"Little Six too, Little Six too." The twins' telepathy is truly incomparable.

After the two little girls finished speaking, they were about to pull Gan Tang away, and Gan Tang looked at his grandmother and the Duchess of Yanguo.

The Duchess of Yanguo is the master, and she immediately asked Lu Shangyin to accompany her.

After the two eldest girls and the two little girls saluted together, they walked to the plum garden of the Yanguo Mansion.

In Gan Tang's memory, there is a two-story attic in the middle of this garden, which is the house used by the Yanguo Mansion to entertain guests during the big banquet.

The two little girls are especially good at rain and dew, picking plum blossoms to pick exactly the same good-looking two, respectively to Gan Tang and Lu Shangyin hairpins in the bun, even praise words to say together, if the number of words is different, they will discuss with Gan Tang and Lu Shangyin, forget what they just said, let them say it again.

In Xichuan, Gantang also has cute little cousins and nephews, but it may be that the growth environment is different, her cousins and nephews, when they can take things, they all choose knives, forks and swords to make toys for pastime, and when they grow up a little, they choose larger knives, forks, swords and halberds to play.

Gan Tang suddenly had a bad taste, and was looking forward to the scene where her cousins and nephews and the little Confucian ladies of the Lu family met together in the future.

"You two little girls, are you going to turn your two sisters into flower fairies? The buns of the two sisters have been filled with plum blossoms by you. Lu Xun's voice suddenly sounded from a few people not far away.

"Big brother, big brother, we and my sisters have been waiting for you here for a long time, why did you come." The two little girls stopped what they were doing and asked with their mouths furled.

Lu Shangyin had an expression of understanding on his face, and was about to take his two younger sisters away, but the two little girls had already climbed Lu Xun's arms one left and one right, asking for a reward.

Lu Xun looked embarrassed by being exposed, he squatted down and was level with the two little girls, "Remember, this is the secret between you and the eldest brother, if it is known by your father, you will not be able to see the eldest brother in the future, and you can't tell them." ”

The two little girls almost grew up watching Lu Xun, and they liked Lu Xun very much, how could they allow such a thing to happen in the future when they never saw their eldest brother again, they immediately covered their mouths and nodded seriously, "Don't say it, don't say it." ”

Lu Shangyin also intervened to bribe, Lu Xun knocked her a chestnut, and asked her to quickly take the two little girls to sit in the attic and give him Gan Tang time to talk alone.

Gan Tang also heard the words of the two little girls, and knew that this trip to the plum garden was deliberately arranged by Lu Xun, so he couldn't help but feel angry and funny.

Her grandmother had allowed them to meet, and he was still sneaking around.

Lu Xun said that this time his grandmother agreed to meet them, but his mother disagreed, since he wanted to see Gantang, his mother let his second brother stare at him.

If he hadn't been willing to take things to bribe, his second brother would still be staring at him.

"How did you sneak around in your own house!"

Lu Xun touched his nose, "Tang'er, why don't we think about the March marriage I said earlier." ”

Gan Tang was ashamed, "What nonsense!" It was said that it was good for March. ”

"It's a regular meeting today, my mother won't let me see you, and I said a few words through the screen yesterday."

For Gan Tang, she prefers the atmosphere of coming to Yanguo Mansion today, but for Lu Xun, she doesn't even have the opportunity to speak through the screen today, which is really not beautiful.

"Aunt is religious, and this is not a bad thing."

"Anyway, I don't want to talk to you about that mess today, I just want to stay with you." Lu Xun is a scoundrel.

The messy things refer to Gan Tang's 'experience' during his time in the Gan family, these Lu Xun originally knew it, and now that the time they spend together is precious, he doesn't want to waste time on those things, he just wants to be alone with Gan Tang.

"Don't mess around, there will be time to get along in the future, I'm afraid you'll get bored when the time comes." Gan Tang said gently.

Lu Xun was displeased, "Tang'er, don't talk nonsense, whoever will be tired of you, I won't be tired of you." ”

Gan Tang didn't really think that Lu Xun would ignore himself in the future, it was just a temporary hypocrisy of her daughter's family, but seeing Lu Xun was very unhappy, she covered her mouth and smiled, "I said the wrong thing, we will be very good, just like your father and my father." ”

When he was a child, Gan Tang came to the Yanguo Mansion as a guest, and never thought about the Yanguo Mansion, and when he saw the ceremony today, he listened carefully to the titles of the immediate family members of the Yanguo Mansion and the title of Lu Xun's younger siblings to the Yanguo Duchess of the Yanguo Mansion, only to know that the Yanguo Duke did not take a concubine, only one of the Yanguo Duchess.

She immediately thought of what Lu Xun said to herself at the beginning, she didn't believe Lu Xun, but she had always been curious about why Lu Xun had this idea, today she understood that if she was a child, it would not be strange for Lu Xun to have this idea in her heart.

Lu Xun will not tell Gan Tang that his parents were not a loving couple from the beginning, and they also went through various post-marriage run-ins to get to where they are today.
