Volume 1 Stunning Rivers and Lakes Chapter 11 Old Lady Luo
Yangzhou, a prosperous place since ancient times.
Yangzhou Luojia, a famous family, the past generations of high-ranking officials, scholars, businessmen, celebrities do not know how many, just the archway in front of the door is one or two.
When she was helped out of the carriage, Jin Fenglan was really stunned by the two rows of people waiting for her early outside the vermilion lacquer gate.
Sure enough, the high-ranking families and the maids and servants are in groups, these two rows of maids are pretty and handsome, and everyone is respectful and happy.
"Welcome the young master home."
Jin Fenglan couldn't help but look up at the sky, the sun seemed much milder after noon, and there was no trace of clouds in the clear blue sky.
No one greeted Jin Fenglan, Luo Zichen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes swept over everyone.
"A salute to the young lady." His voice sank, and he spat out word by word.
The crowd hung their heads and did not move.
Before Luo Zichen got angry, Jin Fenglan smiled first, lowered her head and straightened her sleeves casually, and then glanced at her husband with a smile, and said, "You say, should I go in with you now, or should I leave with me?" β
"Married husband, where do you want to go?!" Luo Zichen dragged her and strode towards the door.
The two went all the way in, and from time to time someone asked for hello, but Luo Zichen didn't even look at it, and went straight to the front hall.
As soon as he saw his grandmother with a serious face on the main seat in the hall, Luo Zichen strode forward, knelt on the ground with his robe, and said respectfully: "Grandson asks grandmother for peace, grandmother has always been fine." β
Jin Fenglan was dragged to the ground together, and said like a chicken and duck: "Granddaughter-in-law asks grandmother to say goodbye, grandmother has always been fine." β
No one spoke, and neither of them made any next move.
After a while, the silver-haired old lady Luo spoke, "Get up." β
"Thank you, grandmother."
Old Madam Luo's eyes looked at Jin Fenglan carefully, and only after a while did she wave her hand to the side: "Let the young lady make tea." β
Immediately, a maid brought tea and handed it to Jin Fenglan.
Jin Fenglan lowered her eyes and looked at the tea in her hand, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and then walked to the old man and knelt down again, raised the tea bowl and said, "Please grandmother use tea." β
Mrs. Luo didn't move for a long time.
Jin Fenglan knelt on the ground honestly, and as time passed, her body didn't shake, but Luo Zichen next to her frowned.
I don't know how long it took for Old Lady Luo to speak again: "You are the daughter of the Jin family?" β
"Yes." Jin Fenglan's voice was calm and indifferent, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"Didn't you return the betrothed jade pendant to our Luo family three years ago?"
"Yes."
Hearing her calm and unwavering answer, Old Madam Luo felt a flameless fire in her heart, and pressed the handrail hard: "That being the case, how can you still have the face to come to the door and marry in?" β
"Grandmotherβ" Luo Zichen couldn't help but call.
"You shut up for me, stand aside, and let her answer."
Jin Fenglan raised her head, looked straight at Old Madam Luo, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "I didn't have this mind, but I lost myself to Ling Sun in my illness, he gave me this title, and I was justified if I wanted it." If the old lady insists on denying me as a granddaughter-in-law, then give me a letter of resignation. β
Luo Zichen looked at her with a gloomy face.
Old Madam Luo's face could not hide her stunnedness, her eyes swept back and forth between her grandson and her, and she made up her mind, and said, "You don't have a trace of nostalgia for Chen'er?" β
Luo Zichen clenched his fists, and his nails pierced into his palms without realizing it.
Jin Fenglan smiled as before, and said unhurriedly: "Some things happen sooner or later, too much nostalgia just hurts others and hurts yourself." Once the Luo family learned that she couldn't have children, whether active or passive, she always had to leave, and she couldn't do it when she saw her husband take a concubine.
Old Madam Luo's fingers trembled and pointed at Jin Fenglan and asked her grandson: "This is the good daughter-in-law you married behind my back?!" β
Luo Zichen lowered his eyes and said, "Grandmother, Lan'er has been kneeling for a long time. β
"......" Old Madam Luo glared at her grandson a few times with hatred. Is he accusing himself of making this girl angry?
Jin Fenglan withdrew her raised arm, slowly got up from the ground, walked to the side and put the tea bowl on the table, looked around the hall, pouted, and said, "Give me a book, I'll wait, if you don't give it, I'm a little tired and want to rest." β
Old Lady Luo was angry.
A smile flashed in Luo Zichen's eyes, and he lowered his head and didn't look at his grandmother.
Jin Fenglan looked at Mrs. Luo very calmly, slapped it on the armrest again, and said angrily at her: "Why don't you bring the tea over?" β
She obediently brought the tea again and knelt down to serve it.
This time, Mrs. Luo immediately took it and threw a red envelope on the tray held by the maid.
Jin Fenglan reached out and took the red envelope directly into her sleeve pocket, and kowtowed respectfully: "Grandmother Xie." β
Without waiting for the maid next to her to move, Luo Zichen hurriedly reached out to help her up, and said with concern: "Does your knee hurt?" I'll help you rub it when you get back to your room in a moment. β
Ahem...... Looking at her grandson, Mrs. Luo couldn't wait to pour the tea in her hand on him, so that he could sober up. She worked hard to set rules for his daughter-in-law here, but he was busy tearing down his grandmother's table on the side.
"Grandmother, Lan'er is sick and bumpy all the way, let her go back to the room to rest first, and her grandson will accompany you to the old man's house."
Old Madam Luo suddenly lost her temper, and waved her hand helplessly: "Help the young lady to rest." β
"Yes." Immediately, two maids came over to help Jin Fenglan leave.
When only the grandparents and grandchildren were left in the hall, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but sigh, stretched out her finger and poked her grandson on the forehead, and said with some annoyance: "You kid, the older you are, the more you have ideas, and you dare to cut it first and then play such a big thing as getting married." If you really like it, will your grandmother still stop you? β
How desperate this grandson is, she doesn't know, since he was divorced by Jin Fenglan, he has spent a lot of time looking for people, looking for three years, no matter how she persuades him to give up during the period, he just doesn't listen, he got a little clue a while ago and hurriedly went out, who knows that he really let him bring people back.
Luo Zichen smiled shyly, and his voice was as light as a gnat: "Grandmother, do you know that some things always become a proper ......."
Old Madam Luo glared at him angrily and funny, and said, "Just so impatient, take advantage of other people's illness?" β
"Isn't it for the sake of the grandson, if she doesn't say goodbye when she gets well, then the grandson won't be a bamboo basket for water."
"That's right." Look at her temperament just now, it is indeed so crisp that it makes people itch to watch. Old Madam Luo thought of something urgent, so she said: "You are also married now, give me a great-grandson as soon as possible, so that you can inherit the incense of the Luo family." β
Luo Zichen's heart sank, he still had a smile on his face, and said again and again: "Grandmother, just rest assured, your grandson will work hard, and when Lan'er's body is well recuperated, she will give birth to seventeen or eighteen great-grandchildren to come out and spread the branches and leaves for the Luo family." β
Old Madam Luo was amused by him and laughed: "You monkey, you can shout so loudly like this." β
"What can't be said about this, Lan'er, isn't she here."
Old Madam Luo snorted with a smile and said, "That's it, you must know that you treat her as a sow, and you will definitely be smacked in the face." β
After that, there was a burst of laughter.
Luo Zichen laughed with her, but sighed secretly in her heart, afraid that she would have a smile on her face and feel sad in her heart.
The morning light sprinkled on the flowers and trees in the courtyard, and the maid standing under the porch hung her head solemnly, and the washing things in her hands were not unstable at all, but occasionally raised her head to the closed door, but all showed a little anxiety.
In the bedroom, on the gums, Luo Zichen was working his wife.
He gasped and fell on top of her.
Jin Fenglan's breath was also unstable, her eyes were half-open and half-closed, her mind was tired, and she just wanted to sleep well under the quilt.
Luo Zichen smiled and straightened her long sweaty hair from her sideburns, and said, "Get up, I want to say hello to my grandmother." β
"Bastard." An almost hateful tone.
He smiled even more heartily and whispered ambiguously: "Am I uncomfortable serving the lady?" β
Jin Fenglan glared angrily: "You can't stay asleep all night if you're comfortable, right?" Especially knowing that he has to go to the elders to say goodbye the next day, he is simply a bastard plus three levels. β
"That's how we show our affection." He didn't blink very seriously.
"......" This person is so thick-skinned that he is afraid that he can't even compare with the city wall, and he has a gentleman's face that deceives the world in vain.
Luo Zichen finally rubbed for a while, and then raised his voice: "Someone is coming." β
As soon as the voice came, the people outside breathed a sigh of relief. It's finally time to get up.
However, when they walked into the room, they were immediately blushed by the strong smell of love. Master...... Did the young master sleep at night?
Jin Fenglan's silent maids helped her groom and dress, and her slightly drooping eyes hid her flowing thoughts. What was he upset about?
Unbridled lingering, as if desperate to grasp something, to prove something, is she making him uneasy?
Then I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. How could she not, if she didn't know when that day would come, how could she let him take what he wanted.
Her heart suddenly ached, Jin Fenglan reached out and held it, her eyes were a little unbearable sour, she inhaled secretly, and expelled the sudden sadness.
There was not a single expression on her face from beginning to end, and when forbearance became a habit, the pain became insignificant.
Looking at his newly dressed wife, Luo Zichen's eyes were full of joy, he stepped forward to take her hand, and said softly: "Let's go, let's go to grandmother." β
Jin Fenglan obediently followed him up, followed him through the corridors and paths, and finally entered a courtyard with flowers and trees, and saw Mrs. Luo with a condensed face.
"My grandson and my granddaughter-in-law came to say hello to my grandmother."
"I don't dare to be it, I came to say hello so late on the first day, and I won't use it in the future."
At this time, Luo Zichen regretted that he was too greedy for his wife's taste, which caused her to be disliked by her grandmother.
"It's my granddaughter-in-law's fault, I must come early tomorrow."
Hearing her obedient confession of mistake in his ears, Luo Zichen couldn't hide his surprised side eyes, he thought she would be like yesterday.
Old Madam Luo sighed, waved her hand and said, "I know that you two are in love and intimacy, but some etiquette can't be ignored because of this, so get up." β
Luo Zichen was said by his grandmother that his face was a little hot. This is to accuse him of being too greedy for the pleasure of the boudoir, and he knows that he will definitely be restrained when he returns home, but his grandmother has written to urge him again and again, and he will not be able to delay it for a long time.
Sure enough, the day after I came back, the hat of the rules was buttoned down.
"Grandchildren follow their grandmother's teachings."
Seeing that he was respectful, Mrs. Luo's face softened a lot, and said: "Since you are back, don't stay in the inner house, and deal with the personnel outside who should be dealt with, your daughter-in-law has her grandmother and the people below to take care of her, and she will not be wronged." β
Luo Zichen pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "Yes." β
Grandmother didn't give him the opportunity to get close to Lan'er during the day.
"From tonight onwards, you will let the girl be on duty in the house." Old Madam Luo followed up with another command.
"Grandmother-" Luo Zichen looked up and hurriedly refused: "Grandson is not used to having people in the house on night duty. β
What did Grandmother really want? Do you want him to perform the Living Spring Palace for his subordinates to see? Even if he didn't mind, Lan'er would definitely kick him out of bed directly.
"Grandmother won't listen to you anymore?"
"Grandmother always knew that her grandson didn't have this habit."
Old Madam Luo glanced at Jin Fenglan, who was holding her hands and drooping her eyes, and then looked at her grandson, and said in a serious tone: "You always have to take care of her face, don't you?" β
"My grandson knows that it won't be like this again."
"Forget it, anyway, you have some sense of proportion." Mrs. Luo was also a little helpless, her grandson showed a stubborn attitude, and her granddaughter-in-law also looked deaf.
"Grandmother, let them pass the meal, the grandson is hungry." Luo Zichen said with a little coquettishness, wanting to divert his grandmother's emotions.
When Old Madam Luo saw him like this, she couldn't help but smile: "Your granddaughter-in-law can't go hungry." β
"Okay, pass on the meal, don't starve my good grandson."
"Okay, you can't go hungry, let the food pass faster." Old Madam Luo glared at her grandson without a trace.
Luo Zichen grinned, quite a bit of a skin.
If you really let your grandmother set rules for your wife, what if you scare away your daughter-in-law, who she managed to get her hands on? So, in any case, this rule cannot be established.
Jin Fenglan raised her eyes and glanced at him, and the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously. He played tricks like this, but it took a lot of effort.
Luo Zichen glanced at her with a smile.
The two looked at each other, one proud, the other slightly angry.
Old Madam Luo saw it in her eyes and nodded with a smile.
