Chapter 48: A Trip to the City (7)
Shuniang nodded again and again, and said with great regret: "My grandfather's family is in the capital, I heard my mother say that I was also born in the capital when I was a child, and I didn't come back until I was three years old." Unfortunately, I don't remember at all. ”
"Since your father is often away from home, your brother and your grandfather are both in the capital. Then why don't you simply move your family to the capital? ”
Zhao Guo'er asked with some curiosity. What she is more curious about is actually the lady's mother, how could she marry this city from the capital?
"Can't move. First, this city is my family's ancestral home. My great-grandfather made it a rule that children and grandchildren were not allowed to leave their ancestral home and move elsewhere unless they were officials. Second, my grandfather and grandmother are still there, my father, me, and my father's concubines and concubines are all filial piety, and they have to go over on the fifteenth day of every month to say goodbye. ”
As if knowing what Zhao Guoer was curious about, Shuniang sighed and said: "Back then, my grandfather was an official in the capital, and the whole family was in the capital. I heard my mother's grandmother say that my grandfather and grandmother never imagined that one day my grandfather would move his family back to his ancestral home. ”
"There's no way to have such rules." But at least you should tell someone when you get married. It's a bit unkind to hide it.
Tian Funiang sighed when she heard this, but some words were not easy to say, so she could only say: "That's really bitter for your mother, and you can't go back to see your biological parents easily." ”
Not to mention filial piety to one's biological parents.
Women, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, once they get married, they will really become someone else's family. It's good if you can meet good people. If you can't, and you don't have a capable child, where can you say "miserable" in your life?
Thinking of Tian Funiang, she sighed again. It wasn't until I remembered that Zhao Guoer was blessed by misfortune, and she didn't have to be too afraid of meeting an unkind in-law in the future, so I felt a little better.
Zhao Guo'er looked at Tian Funiang, looking at her complicated face, guessing that she was afraid that she was afraid that Fucheng was thousands of miles away from the capital.
As revealed in the lady's words before, her father still has many concubines, and there are even signs of spoiling concubines and killing wives...... This experience of the lady's mother, with her own mother, is really a little sympathetic.
What can she say about it?
I'm afraid that I can't comfort my mother by saying anything, and I have to expose her old scars...... It's better to say nothing.
Zhao Guoer sighed, and inevitably felt a little sympathy for the lady's mother.
Partially, she couldn't show it, so she could only comfort Shuniang: "Just wait, it's okay to say that you don't need to wait a long time for your brother to be in high school, so that your family can move to the capital?" ”
I just can't. Lady's brother is not reading material. It's a big deal to wait until five years later, she and her mother and mother will find an excuse to let their mother and daughter go to the capital to accompany her and her mother.
As long as they don't let them have a big family, the concubines and aunts will also be relocated, which clearly violates the group training. Zhao Guoer didn't believe that Shuniang's grandfather and grandmother would object.
I don't believe that the lady's father will dare to go back to this city to accompany the concubine for a long time when he goes home, instead of going to the capital to reunite with his wife and children.
Zhao Guo'er thought domineeringly.
"Yes, that's what my mother is looking forward to. So I asked my grandmother to help me get married, and wanted to marry me back to the capital. lest they be separated by thousands of miles in the future, and they will not be easily seen. ”
The lady said that her face became a little shy, but soon she couldn't hide her pride and said: "You don't know that my brother is good at studying, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of fifteen. In the nineteenth year of this year, my grandfather tested his homework and said that he would be able to go to high school if he got out of school. When the time comes, with the help of my grandfather and a few uncles, there is a chance that I will be able to confer a Beijing official. ”
"That's great."
"Then your mother will be bitter and happy."
Zhao Guoer and Tian Funiang both laughed, and the atmosphere in the carriage was reversed at once, and the three of them had no sad looks on their faces.
……
While the three of them were talking and laughing, the carriage stopped again.
When she got out of the car, Zhao Guoer saw the car parked in front of the gate of a house with a plaque of "Song Mansion". There was not only Aqing outside the car, but also the lady's personal maid Chunxi who ran out after hearing the sound.
"Miss, you're finally back."
Seeing the lady, Chunxi couldn't help but hug her and cried: "You are really scared to death this time." Next time, take your slave with you wherever you go. Otherwise, if you really have a case, even if Mrs. is not to blame, Chunxi does not want to live alone, and you have to die to apologize for your sins in order to feel at ease. ”
"What nonsense? I didn't come back well. ”
patted Chunxi, and the lady was disgusted and happy: "But this time it's really thrilling, if it weren't for Sister Guo'er and Aunt Tian to save me, I wouldn't be able to come back." ”
"Miss, what's going on?" Chunxi's hand wiping tears paused, and asked in surprise.
"Let's go to the house first, wait until I take Guo'er and my aunt to meet my mother first, and then talk slowly."
Waving her hand, the lady who didn't want to say more about what had happened invited Zhao Guoer and Tian Funiang to enter the house together, Chunxi didn't dare to ask more, and took all the things in the hands of the two of them with great vision.
You don't need a little maid, just hold it yourself. He followed the three of them to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, Dong Sui, the lady's mother-in-law, got the news, and couldn't wait to get out of the courtyard despite the obstruction of the people around her.
When they met, they couldn't care about anything else, so Dong hugged Shuniang first and cried bitterly.
The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried for a while, the lady wiped away her tears and pulled Dong to Tian Funiang and Zhao Guoer, and first introduced Tian Funiang and Zhao Guoer: "Auntie, Guo'er, this is my mother." ”
Then he said to the Dong family: "Mother, this is the Tian family's aunt and Guo'er Yuyu." Fortunately, I have them, otherwise I am afraid that I would not have been able to come back today. ”
After speaking, she briefly told the experience of the group of roadblock bullies she met today. Hearing this, Dong was shocked into a cold sweat, and said with gratitude to Zhao Guoer and Tian Funiang, and said: "Lady is fortunate to meet a nobleman, and the noble man not only saved Shuniang's life, but also saved my life." Otherwise, how can I survive in the future? ”
Saying that, Dong couldn't help but burst into tears, and it was a deep blessing to the two of them.
Zhao Guoer and Tian Funiang were a little embarrassed, and hurriedly returned the gift, Tian Funiang said repeatedly: "Don't dare to be." At that time, we were actually trying to save ourselves. Otherwise, those gangsters won't let us go. ”
"Well, that's it." Zhao Guoer also nodded in agreement, "At that time, we saved Sister Shuniang to save ourselves. You don't need that. ”
"You can't say that."
