Chapter 32: The Lao Family and the Husband and Wife (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The next day, He Ran came to Jinghong Building an hour in advance, and Li Jinxiu also came, bringing an eleven or twelve-year-old girl with her, this is her granddaughter, Lu Chang.
Lu Chang's round face is round and jade, and his eyebrows and eyes are crooked when he smiles, which is very attractive.
"This is the daughter of the third child in my family, who do you think she looks like?"
He Ran smiled: "Follow my grandmother." ”
"Yes, I'll just say that she follows me the most, this girl has strong bones, go back and let her practice guns to show you."
Lu Chang looked at He Ran curiously, she wanted to call her sister, but when she saw the relationship between He Ran and her grandmother, she was like a peer, could it be a distant relative of the family? She knew that some of her relatives were youngest, but they were very high.
He Ran looked at her body, she had nothing to look at, but she forgot that she was now a senior of her ancestors, and when she saw a junior, she wanted to give a meeting gift, but she didn't prepare in advance this time, so she could only do it next time.
"Your grandmother and I are old friends, if you don't know what to call me, call me by my name, or Miss He."
She actually wants Lu Chang to call her sister, how young she is, she also wants to pretend to be tender, but Li Jinxiu will be embarrassed, so let's call Miss He.
"Miss He, you are so good-looking." The little girl's voice was sweet and glutinous.
"You're good-looking, too." He Ran responded with a smile.
Li Jinxiu glared at Lu Chang: "It's not big, it's not small." ”
Lu Chang shrunk his neck and muttered quietly: "It's just good-looking, I'm not wrong." ”
He Ran smiled and said to Li Jinxiu: "The hour is almost up, they should also come, let people go and greet them." ”
Li Jinxiu got up and said to Lu Chang, "You go and take a look." ”
Then he turned to He Ran and explained: "Lao Guanghuai's wife is surnamed Shangguan, and she is from the same village as Ah Chang's grandmother, and she is also a sister across the house. ”
Only then did He Ran know the reason why she brought Lu Chang here.
Seeing Lu Chang go out, Li Jinxiu continued: "Ah Chang has been discouraged since she was a child, and she, like Ah Zhen, grew up beside me. ”
He Ran didn't expect that this sunny little girl was actually a child without a mother.
"She's been well raised by you."
This kind of good ten from the inside out, the little girl has a kind of superiority and self-confidence that comes out of her bones, which can't be pretended.
Lu Chang went out, and after a while, he saw a couple walking into the Jinghong Building one after the other, Lu Chang greeted him and blessed the two: "Auntie and grandma, you are here, my grandmother has come, and she is in there at this time." ”
Mrs. Shangguan had a smile in her eyes, and she took Lu Chang's hand: "This is Ah Chang, you know your aunt, but if you are outside, your aunt and grandmother will not dare to recognize you, it is really the eighteenth change of the female university, our Ah Chang has grown taller and more beautiful!" ”
Lu Chang also laughed along, but she saw a trace of sadness in Mrs. Shangguan's eyes, which flashed away, and Lu Chang thought that she had seen it wrong.
Seeing the couple who walked in with Lu Chang, He Ran knew that Lao Guanghuai and Mrs. Shangguan had arrived.
The two of them gave Li Jinxiu a salute, Lao Guanghuai did not squint, but Mrs. Shangguan noticed that there was a little girl sitting in the corner of the house, looking one or two years older than Ah Chang, could it be that this is also Miss Sun of Wu'an Hou's Mansion?
Li Jinxiu chatted with the two for a few words, and the conversation changed: "Recently, Lord He Wenqing of Zhending Mansion came to the capital, and I heard that the Lao family and the He family are in-laws? ”
The smile on Lao Guanghuai's face disappeared immediately, and Mrs. Shangguan was stunned for a moment and bit her lip.
Li Jinxiu's gaze swept over the faces of the two, just looking at them and not asking any more.
Lao Guanghuai's voice was calm, but he could hear the coldness that he was holding back: "The old lady doesn't know, the little girl has passed away for many years, He Wenqing has also married another, and the Lao and He families are no longer in-laws." ”
"Oh, I see." Li Jinxiu nodded, "Isn't there another granddaughter?" Although her granddaughter's surname is He, she also has the blood of the Lao family in her body, which is also the flesh and blood of the Lao family. ”
If Lao Guanghuai could still be suppressed just now, now the anger is about to erupt in front of him.
"Granddaughter? Less than half a year after the death of the little girl, He Wenqing continued, my two sons went to Zhending, he wanted to marry another, we can't care, then we can take the child away, but they don't agree! They said that our Lao family was an oil mill and was not worthy of raising the children of their He family, and we were not worthy! ”
When Lao Guanghuai said this, he realized that his emotions were a little excited, after all, it was not an ordinary person in front of him, but Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Shangguan on the side was already in tears: "This family affair was wrong from the beginning, if our two families did not get married, the little girl might not be young."
Lao Guanghuai sighed, he had been an official for many years, and he was already angry, but when it came to the events of that year, he was still angry.
"My two sons were also young and vigorous back then, and they couldn't bear this breath, so they fought and beat He Wenqing and his second brother, and almost made trouble in the Yamen, the two families were completely torn apart, not in-laws, and it was almost the same to say that they were enemies."
Li Jinxiu snorted coldly: "If you do it right, you should be beaten, you scholars, you are careful everywhere, if it is me, if this is my family's in-laws, I will directly smash his house to a pulp, and then snatch the child away, if you don't give it, just put a knife against his neck to see if he gives it." ”
Lao Guanghuai gasped, yes, I also know that this is more effective, but you can always do this openly, but we can't, in this world, there are a few loyal and brave ladies.
At this time, a silver bell-like laughter came from the corner, and He Ran walked over: "The old lady's words are really heartfelt. ”
Li Jinxiu's old face turned red, does this mean that she doesn't have a backache when she stands and talks?
Think about it, the uncle of the Lao family was all white at the time, if he really put a knife against He Wenqing's chest, with the shamelessness of the He family, I don't know what will happen, in the end, it is the child who suffers.
It's a pity that the Lao family didn't know at that time that the child was actually a fake.
Lao Guanghuai glanced at it from the corner of his eyes, and saw that it was a young girl who spoke, so he didn't look again, but Mrs. Shangguan's gaze fell on He Ran, a pair of clear and transparent eyes.
He Ran walked up to Lao Guanghuai and Mrs. Shangguan, and said softly: "The two of you came from afar, just entered Beijing, and you don't know about the He family in Zhending Mansion when you think about it, the granddaughter you wanted to pick up back then is actually a fake. ”
"What?" Lao Guanghuai and Mrs. Shangguan glanced at each other, and the two of them were stunned on each other's faces.
Did they hear it right?
"He Shuyuan, the eldest daughter of the He family for fourteen years, is indeed the flesh and blood of the He family, but she is not your granddaughter, at least, not in blood." (End of chapter)
