Chapter 2: Meet Grandmother
From the east cross courtyard to the Ronghe Hall, there is a two-month gate and a small garden.
It was a good time in April in the world, but at this moment, everyone was not interested in visiting the garden, and went straight to Ronghe Hall.
Compared with the simplicity and generosity of the East Cross Courtyard, this Ronghe Hall is much more exquisite and magnificent.
The wall cover of the hospital is carved with the floating of flowers and wealth, and a few well-trimmed cedars are planted under the porch, which stand in the corner like a guard.
Just because the lord of Rongkang likes it, there is a large vat in the middle of this courtyard that gathers feng shui, and the nine golden-tailed koi swimming in it are specially found by the Zhan Wangfu, which is said to be worth 100 gold.
Now the head of the Zhan Wangfu is the younger brother of the lord of Rongkang, and the relationship between the two has always been harmonious, and Lin Xiangye was also a figure in the previous dynasty, so the relationship between the two families is very good.
But here, the big house is left alone.
Following Liu's mother's steps, the group walked to the bottom of the porch, and saw a maid who lifted the curtain from inside to greet her.
"The slave Gu Yu has seen the eldest lady and the second lady. The old lady has been waiting for you for a long time, so please come in quickly. ”
That courteous appearance made people vigilant, after all, when they usually asked for peace, it was not obvious that this first-class female envoy came out to greet them.
The eldest lady Dong did not reply, and glanced sideways at Lin Wanyi, showing worry.
However, Lin Wanyi smiled faintly and calmed down all her mother's anxieties.
The mother and daughter tidied up their clothes a little, and then walked into the inner hall, only to see that it was already full of people.
The leader is naturally Lin Xiangye's stepmother, Uncle Lin's stepmother, Lin Wanyi and others' stepgrandmother, looking at them quite lovingly at the moment.
Wearing a luxurious peony folded branch embroidered round-neck cardigan, and a five-phoenix gold-inlaid jade hairpin, she is extremely luxurious.
Even though he is nearly sixty years old, he looks like he is in his early forties, and he looks very young.
"Coming?"
"Daughter-in-law Dong has seen her mother-in-law, please say goodbye to her mother-in-law."
"My granddaughter has seen my grandmother, please grandmother."
No matter how unhappy the mother and daughter are, they have to salute the lord of Rongkang County in a proper manner at this moment, otherwise let others find out the mistake, wouldn't it make the big house worse?
"Get up quickly."
Lord Rongkang looked like an elder who loved his juniors very much at the moment, and beckoned to Lin Wanyi and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a few days, come over and I'll take a look." ”
Hearing this, Dong's brows furrowed even tighter.
The second lady Wang who was sitting at the head on the right glanced at it, and there was a sneer in her heart, but she said sweet words on her lips.
"Mother-in-law, look, the daughter-in-law said that this sister is born as beautiful as a flower, and it is the age of delicate dripping, so she naturally has to be nourished by good wind and water, otherwise it will be a pity to fall into the mortal world, and it will be a pity to lose?"
In and out of the words, they all said that she seemed to be born to enter the palace.
Lord Rongkang looked at it well, and if she looked closely, she was a little more colorful than the Wanzhou that she had raised with her heart.
Beautiful but unassuming, and having a handle at home is the best thing to handle.
So he patted the back of Lin Wanyi's hand, glanced at Gu Yu, who was standing next to him, and saw that the maid came out with a brocade plate, and all the jewelry in it was extremely precious, not to mention the priceless, but also the best objects.
"This is what I built from Zhenbao Zhai, since Sister Yi wants to enter the palace, she has to have something to flatter her face, and she doesn't have to let others laugh at it, saying that the young lady who went out of our prime minister's house is shabby."
The thing was delivered to Dong's face, and the golden hairpin pierced her heart again.
Immediately struggled and knelt down and said.
"Please also ask my mother-in-law to have pity on our mother and daughter, I am such a daughter, if I am sent to the palace, it will be difficult to see each other in the future."
As soon as the words of the eldest lady Dong came out, the face of the county lord of Rongkang was not very good-looking, and he was still holding Lin Wanyi's hand, but he also put it down at this moment.
The second lady next to her, Wang, saw that she was so ignorant, and immediately said mockingly.
"Sister-in-law, I only have one daughter, not for the future of the family and the future of her brother, it is obviously a matter of happiness, how can it come to your mouth as if Sister Zhou is going to the battlefield, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth!"
The second wife, Wang, relied on her mother's father to be the secretary of the military department, and she never looked down on the eldest lady Dong, who was born in a businessman.
Over the years, she has made a lot of stumbling blocks openly and secretly, especially after her daughter entered the palace and was promoted step by step, she didn't take the people in the big house in her eyes.
Now I am worried that my daughter has lost her favor in the harem, and I actually look down on the daughter of the big house.
It sounds good to enter the palace as a companion, but in fact, why, everyone knows it very well.
"Old family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't belong to your family. You have also touched a lot of the scenery of this prime minister's mansion, but when it comes to contributing to the family, you have repeatedly shirked it, but don't forget, you are also a person with a husband and son, not for others, think about their future, and you should also send your sister into the palace. ”
With a single sentence, Lord Rongkang once again put this matter on the ground.
Dong hated it so much that she gritted her silver teeth, but under years of bullying, she had long been accustomed to being submissive, and she wanted to say something more, but she didn't know how to refute it.
However, Lin Wanyi didn't want her mother to be in the same difficult situation as before after she left.
So he saluted again respectfully to Lord Rongkang and said.
"What grandmother said is that her granddaughter is willing to contribute to the future of her father and brother in the glory of the family, and I hope that my grandmother will forgive her for the sake of her mother's respect over the years."
Looking at the "granddaughter" in front of him, Lord Rongkang was quite satisfied.
"In the end, it is Xiangye's own granddaughter, and she has three points more knowledge than others, okay, the holy decree to enter the palace has come down, and someone from the palace will come to pick it up early tomorrow morning, so you can prepare."
"Thank you grandmother for reminding me, granddaughter knows."
After saying this important thing, the county lord of Rongkang didn't bother to talk to their mother and daughter anymore, so he found an excuse and sent them back to the East Cross Courtyard.
Dong held back his tears until he returned to his yard and entered the main house before crying in a low voice.
"My son, how is this good?"
The mother's bursts of crying made Lin Wanyi feel uncomfortable in her heart, but now if she wants to refuse the holy decree with the ability of Dafang, she is asking for her own death.
Instead of snorting, it's better to go with the flow.
When she enters the palace, she wants her family to be more comfortable.
So Lin Wanyi wiped Dong's tears with a handkerchief and comforted softly.
"The mother doesn't have to worry, the daughter is not going to die, she will think about protecting herself after entering the palace. But you are in this back house, you also have to be careful, if you contradict the old lady like this today, it is better to say less in the future. ”
"I'm just unwilling, why should I take you to pave the way for Lin Wanzhou?"
