Although the old lady was over the age of sixteen and her hair was gray, she was still a neat person, helping Cheng Yuguan and Cheng Hou, came to Jingyuan Hall, and turned her head to look at Mama Lai beside her.

"Today, our family is happy to reunite, you let the people below also go to relax and relax, you don't have to come over to serve, our family can talk well."

Mama Lai had a relationship with Cheng Yuguan, and when she heard this, her face was full of joy, and she said, "Then I will represent the people in the house, and Mrs. Xie will be generous." ”

Cheng Yuguan followed the old lady into the Ming Hall like this, and heard the courtyard door behind him being gently closed, and looked at Cheng Hou and Yang, but saw that they looked calm, even Aunt Tong and the two shabby children were not different.

Cheng Yuguan knew in his heart that she was "foreign" in the end, and she couldn't compare to everyone in the house who had been running in for many years, who had any thoughts, and you could guess it.

Cheng Yuguan looked back at the agarwood behind him, the agarwood looked dodgy, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at each other.

Cheng Yuguan turned around and chuckled, too, her only grandmother also went a year ago, her only foundation in this world is in Chengjia Village, elsewhere, she is just a passerby.

"What are you laughing at?"

The old lady turned her head, looked at Cheng Yuguan with blazing eyes, and said with concern.

Cheng Yuguan looked directly at the old lady, "Laugh at me for being an outsider." ”

The old lady looked at Cheng Yuguan for a moment, then laughed, turned around and patted Cheng Yuguan's hand, and looked at Cheng Hou.

"You wrote to say that Yuguan is straightforward, and I just saw it today, and it is really cool, and it is blunt, and it is very similar to your mother."

"Mother, come into the house and sit down and say, you have worked hard all the way, you must know how to take care of yourself."

"I'm thoughtful, okay, let's go inside. Yuguan, next to my grandmother, my grandmother has been thinking about you for a long time, so I have to see enough. ”

Everyone entered the Ming Hall, and entered the Ming Hall more than ten meters deep, and as the curtain fell, the door was also closed, and the room became dark.

The old lady sat upright, pulled Cheng Yuguan, and stood beside her.

Cheng Hou and Yang took Cheng Yulou and sat on the left side, and Aunt Tong sat opposite Cheng Hou with a pair of children.

"You asked about your third cousin earlier, and I sent someone to pick him up, but he was tired all the way, so I arranged for him to stay in Beizhuang, and I will come back to see you in two days."

The old lady took the lead in saying to Cheng Yuguan.

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, the corners of his mouth narrowed coldly, "Is there only one of the three cousins?" What about those who serve below? Not together? ”

The old lady shook her head, "No, it's just your third cousin." ”

Cheng Yuguan heard it and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, the third cousin is fine." ”

The old lady nodded, and then looked at Cheng Hou who was looking down.

"It's been a few days since Yuguan came back, did you tell her about that?"

Cheng Hou finished his words and looked at the Yang family on the side, and the Yang family got up and replied, "Originally, the eldest lady was going to say it when she first returned to the house a few days ago, but there was an accident on the road, and the eldest lady returned home with anger towards the house, so she didn't have a chance to say about it." Later, the eldest lady lived in a shallow way, and we didn't find a chance..."

"It's grinding, and I'm almost going to delay the business."

The old lady reprimanded, looked at Cheng Yuguan, reached out to hold Cheng Yuguan's hand, rubbed it in her hand, and said in a kind tone.

"Yuguan, did your grandmother tell you that your mother once set a family affair for you?"

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "Grandma never mentions things in the house. ”

This is true, the Huo family was very disappointed in Cheng Houfu before he died, and the grandmother was also infected by the Huo family, and she didn't have a trace of nostalgia for this Hou Mansion, she just wanted to follow Miss's instructions and let the little lady grow up simply and happily, instead of being born with the grievances of the previous generation.

Huo's and Grandma's intentions towards Cheng Yuguan, but the old lady and Cheng Hou Yang disagreed, obviously they thought that Cheng Yuguan was aggressive when he returned to the house this time, if he hadn't been taught by someone with a heart, how could he be so angry with the Hou Mansion.

They don't know what Cheng Yuguan did, in addition to facing the chaos of the Huo family's production overnight as soon as he was born, and seeing the coldness of the Hou Mansion, he also knew the general direction of the Hou Mansion after that, and knew that they were worried about the blessings on their bodies, such as the marriage they talked about now, naturally they would not have a good face.

"Your mother and her grandmother are naturally good."

The old lady sighed casually, and then talked about "business".

"They didn't tell you because they were afraid that you would think too much and get left on your mind. Now that you and Yulou are older, there are some things that I, an old woman, can't help but say. ”

The old lady patted Cheng Yuguan's hand, looked into her eyes and said, "Back then, your mother and the queen were close friends, and she once joked that she would marry her children. This kind of big event, your mother didn't reveal the slightest tone in advance, or a few years ago at a palace banquet, the queen happened to see the jade building, and only mentioned this old matter. When my grandmother went to the ancestral land, my grandmother replied, saying that you have been unrestrained since you were a child, and you can't stand the rules of the palace. Originally, the old body had no intention of clinging, and the marriage was settled. Who knows that Yulou is very close to the five princes, and the queen also said in person that her four princes are not the same age as you, so it is better to let Yulou and the five princes complete her thoughts. ”

Speaking of this, the old lady patted the hand of the girl in front of her, with a compassionate look, and everyone looked at Cheng Yuguan with burning eyes.

Cheng Yuguan seemed to be listening to a story, his expression did not change in the slightest, but he opened his dark eyes and looked at the old lady, as if he was waiting for her next words.

The old lady paused, and then continued, "The so-called Ming Zheng can be smooth. The queen joked for a while, you need your mother to respond, so that you can "change relatives", and the family affairs will fall on the five princes and Yulou, so that it can be regarded as a good story. It's just that now that your mother is gone, and the former Huo family is still victorious, your father mentioned this matter, and they actually pushed the matter on you, saying that you are your mother's only bloodline, if you talk to the queen, it will be considered the friendship between the two back then. It will be the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet soon, Yulou and the Five Princes are the age of marriage, and the Huo family will also go to the banquet at that time, if you and the Huo family open their mouths together, Yulou and the Five Princes will set up a family affair, this is the consummation of all aspects, isn't it? ”

After speaking, the old lady's somewhat cloudy eyes stared at Cheng Yuguan.

"You must also hope that Yulou will have a good home, our Cheng family, the icing on the cake, a princess, right?"

Cheng Yuguan just understood.

Since she went to Beijing, the reason behind everything has been Cheng Yuguan's guess based on sporadic memories. Now the old lady personally told the cause and effect, although it may not be the whole truth, but it can also corroborate with Cheng Yuguan's speculation and experience.

"I see!"

Cheng Yuguan made a sudden appearance, hammered his hand, and liberated his hand from the old lady's hands, "I said that I have been in the ancestral land for many years, and I have never seen anyone from my family, so it turns out that I can be used now, so I was brought from my ancestors to the capital." ”

Above the Ming Hall, only the Cheng family, and even Mama Lai were guarding the door.

Cheng Yuguan said this, not to mention that Cheng Hou, the Yang family and Cheng Yulou had ugly faces, it was Aunt Tong's mother and son, and they also had a surprised expression.

This eldest lady from the countryside is really ignorant and fearless!

On the other side, the eyes of Aunt Tong and the three of them all revealed such a meaning.

"Yuguan!"

The old lady snorted, "It's all a family, why do you talk like that?" That's what your grandma taught you? ”

Cheng Yuguan was obviously alone, facing the eager wolf-like gaze of this big family, but he didn't have the slightest weakness or fear, but looked directly at the old lady and asked rhetorically.

"You say, how should I speak?"

The old lady has experienced the world and will not be deceived by the surface of personnel, she has a pair of shrewd eyes, staring at Cheng Yuguan carefully, trying to see resentment, grievances, or lust from it.

But no.

Cheng Yuguan's expression was calm, as if he was just talking about things in front of him.

The old lady groaned, originally she thought that Cheng Yuguan was only in her cardamom years, and her mind was not yet mature, and she must be wronged and resentful of her family. At this time, the elders are a little closer, which will definitely soften the attitude of this orphan girl. Who knows, as if she has no feelings, she can face the family who owes her so calmly.

Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but glare at Yang.

In the early years, as soon as she knew about the marriage between the Huo family and the queen's children, she said that she would bring Cheng Yuguan back, taking advantage of Yuguan's young age, what is it difficult to say? Just give a few more pieces of sugar. The Yang clan blocked it in every way.

Now Cheng Yuguan is thirteen years old, precocious, if he is a poor family, he can already be a wife at the age of thirteen, and he has his own plans. If you are an ignorant child before the age of ten, you are not at your disposal?

Yang bowed his head under the gaze of his mother-in-law.

She really didn't expect that Huo's daughter would be so cold.

At that time, the Huo family was a temperamental person, and it may not have been until she died that she was a little awake, but she didn't expect her daughter to be a mother, but like the Cheng family.

Yang lowered his head and was silent, obviously wanting to dodge, letting the tall man come out, the old lady was helpless and looked at her son.

Cheng Hou didn't plan to come out at all, he just looked at his daughter sadly, as if he felt guilty for what his daughter said that no one had taken care of since she was a child.

Aunt Tong has a few, so she can't count on it.

The old lady took a deep breath and looked at Cheng Yuguan.

"Say, how can you make up for it?"

Obviously, the old lady also knew that Cheng Yuguan looked unmoved, playing the family card would not work, and only naked interests could impress her.

When it was time to talk about the conditions, the old lady got up calmly, and did not lean forward, but leaned back in the chair, picked up the teacup, and looked confident.

It seems that when it comes to the conditions, Cheng Yuguan can't stop her, or don't do the behemoth of the Hou Mansion.

Seeing that the old lady sat up, no longer pretending to be affectionate, Cheng Yuguan didn't bother to accompany him, turned around and returned to his seat, and reached out to take out a dowry list from his arms.

"This is my mother's dowry, and if my grandmother can cut her love, my granddaughter will be satisfied."

At this time, Cheng Fangchuan was the first to react, frowning and said, "Your mother's dowry is in Qingxintang, didn't I give you Qingxintang a long time ago?" ”

Cheng Yuguan looked at his father, "Do you really not understand or fake you don't understand?" Not to mention anything else, my mother's daily utensils, Jun kiln and Ru kiln are all complete sets. When you enter my current house again, the white porcelain in the water is the rough porcelain that I have never used in Chengjia Village. My father was born in a family, not to mention that I can't recognize him. Don't you think that I grew up in my ancestral land, and I don't know how to fool me, so I don't even bother to pretend. Also, I never opened my mother's house, and I never touched the contents inside. As long as you can get me back the things on this dowry list, at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet, I can make you and your grandmother happy. ”

Cheng Fangchuan glared at Yang again, his eyes full of anger and incredulity.

"The things in Qingxintang, you moved them away?"

Yang looked flustered and ashamed.

"The concubine was born in a down-and-out background, and she has been sent over the years, how can it be good if there are few things to support the scene? There are also Yulou and Qianli, they don't have a pendant to decorate, and it makes people laugh when they go out, right? Hou Ye is a clear and moon-like character, and the concubine can't bear to harass Hou Ye with these vulgar things, so she solves it herself. It's just to borrow it, and the concubine never thought of taking her sister's things. The eldest lady is missing something, just say, I will change everything back, if I accidentally break it, I will compensate you for the bankruptcy. I just ask the eldest lady not to misunderstand the Hou Ye and the house. ”

Cheng Yuguan raised the dowry list in Yang's hand, "Mrs. Yang is very funny, she obviously did all the dirty things, but in the end, she pretended to be pitiful and asked others." When you were a teenager, you were able to fool people with this set, and now you are all at this age, and you are still showing off your pathetic. ”

Cheng Yuguan looked at Cheng Hou with his eyes, "That's right, one trick is fresh, eat all over the world." No matter how old the trick is, it just works. ”

Cheng Hou's face was embarrassed by Cheng Yuguan, but he just glared at Yang. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with him.

Immediately after, he reached out and took the dowry slip, and without even looking at it, it was tucked into the cuffs.

"Yuguan, don't worry about it, with this list, I will definitely find all the things for you these days, and there will be no shortage of cups."

Cheng Yuguan nodded.

"It's rare to see a father meddling in these mundane things, so the daughter is waiting."

Cheng Yuguan got up and walked out the door.

When he arrived at the door, he seemed to react, patted his head, and took out a document from his arms.

"Father, don't blame, since his daughter entered the mansion, he has been disappointed too many times, and he really doesn't have the intention to guard against you."

As he spoke, Cheng Yuguan shook the slip in his hand, "This is the dowry list backup, the same as the one in your hand, the real one, I have already handed it over to the fourth prince on the way here to keep it." The Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet is coming, I hope you can give me an explanation before the palace banquet, so that I can cooperate with the house, do you say yes? ”

After speaking, Cheng Yuguan stuffed the dowry list back again, bowed his hand, and walked out of Jingyuan Hall.

…

Immediately, the house began to be hectic and hectic.

The Huo family has brought good things, over the years, Cheng Hou has rewarded others on a whim, but fortunately, the Yang family is careful and has recorded them, and now they are going to recover them one by one.

Han Ting Pavilion, Aunt Tong, even found a few things.

Seeing the grandmother under the Yang family turning Han Ting Pavilion upside down, the third son, Cheng Dongzhou, couldn't help it, and after stopping, he looked at his mother.

"The Yang family is getting more and more domineering, will we continue to be aggrieved like this forever?"

At this time, Aunt Tong did not cringe in front of the Cheng family, but calmly touched her son's head, "Don't worry, now that the old lady is back, and the eldest lady has also returned home, the Yang family's good life is not many days." ”
