Chapter 4 Homecoming
Mama Chen, who was beside her grandmother, personally waited at the door to open the curtain, and said with a smile: "The old lady has been talking about the eldest lady since the morning. ”
This woman was originally a dowry maid by the old lady's side, but when she reached the age, she was married by the old lady and married to the foreign affairs manager Yuan.
After getting married, she has been following the old lady and being a housekeeper. A few years ago, Steward Yuan died, and his only son was in charge of carriages and horses in the house.
As soon as I entered, the room was full of purple and red.
I saw that the Lin family took Xiahou Yan, and the second aunt Wang family took her daughter Xiahou Jing. The second uncle's concubine Yu is with a pair of his children.
On a long paddle in the room sat an old lady in her sixties and in good spirits. The old lady was graceful and dignified, her gray hair was meticulously combed, and she wore a blue forehead on her forehead.
Seeing Xiahou Shuang coming in, he put down the marigold silk cup in his hand and looked at Xiahou Shuang: "The frost girl is back?"
Xiahou Shuang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Grandmother is fine." ”
"Okay, get up, go and bring a bowl of bird's nest soup from the small kitchen to the frost girl. The old lady instructed Mama Chen, "It's only a few days since I went here, and I'm tired." ”
"In the morning, my mother began to stew soup, and when the eldest lady came back, she could drink it. I want to drink more for a while, and those who have eaten fasting and chanting Buddha in the temple in the past few days have indeed lost a lot of weight. Lin hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up Xiahou Shuang.
Xiahou Shuang got up and looked at her stepmother Lin, her face full of concern and did not seem to be fake.
There was a hint of hatred in his eyes, and a cold sigh flashed in his heart, what a mother's heart!
If there was no experience in the previous life, whoever said that the Lin family was not good by Xiahou Shuang's side, Xiahou Shuang would definitely be the first to disagree.
Lin is the daughter of the second room in the family, and her father is only a member of the Hanlin Academy. Since the time of Xiahou Shuang's memory, the Lin family has married into the Hou Mansion, and after getting married, he gave birth to a daughter and a son for the Hou Ye one after another.
On weekdays, the Lin family puts Xiahoushuang, the eldest lady, first, and even their own children have never crossed this eldest daughter. He enjoyed praise among the noble ladies in the capital, and won the trust of the old lady, and delegated the power of the palace to the Lin family early.
Lin, who is over thirty years old, has white eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and is well maintained, with black hair pulled into a high beauty bun, and a golden step is obliquely inserted, which is extravagant.
"Thank you for your care. "When it comes to acting, for Xiahou Shuang, who has experienced a lifetime, he is very handy.
"Sister-in-law hasn't also been chattering a few times, and she is really more attentive to the eldest lady than to the third lady. ”
It was Wang, the wife of the second uncle Xiahou Lin, who spoke. Wang's pair of red phoenix eyes were slightly raised, holding a silk handkerchief in his hand, covering his lips and chuckling.
The Wang family was born in the Wang family of Taichang Siqing, and his self-holding background is higher than that of the Lin family.
Straightforward and fast-talking.,I like to fan the flames.,It's not liked by old ladies on weekdays.。
The third lady in Wang's mouth is Xiahou Yan, the biological daughter of the Lin family. At this moment, Xiahou Yan didn't seem to understand the words of the second aunt, so she stepped forward and gently pulled Xiahou Shuang's sleeve and said coquettishly: "My sister has been gone for a few days, and Yan'er is very worried. ”
Xiahou Yan was dressed in a goose yellow spring dress, with a gold ring inlaid with rubies around her neck, showing her cuteness.
In his previous life, because of the relationship between the Lin family, Xiahou Shuang loved this sister very much. His valuables are given away at will, and the ring around his neck at this moment is also borrowed from his own hands.
At that time, Chunya was whispering in her ear, this was the dowry left by her mother, but it was taken away by Xiahou Yan at will, and she couldn't deny it.
Now that I think about it, how stupid I really am that I can't see through this cunning and greedy heart!
In his previous life, almost all of the dowries left by his mother were hollowed out by Xiahou Yan. I still remember that after the wedding, when she came to the door to ask for help because of money, Xiahou Yan watched indifferently and coldly.
In his previous life, he insisted on marrying that Chen Rui, and this sister also gave herself a lot of ideas. During the period of being grounded by his father, it was also with the help of this good sister that he was able to escape smoothly, and eloped with Chen Rui to taste the forbidden fruit, and his father had to agree to this family business.
It wasn't until he learned from the maid when he was dying that Lin's plan succeeded with Xiahou Yan's help, but he was still stupidly grateful.
"I miss my sister very much. "Xiahou Yan, in this life, I want you to return all the things that don't belong to you!
Xiahou Jing immediately stepped forward from behind his mother to salute, Xiahou Jing is as his name suggests, quiet and elegant, his appearance is not good, his mother is more biased towards his father, slightly heroic.
In her previous life, Xiahou Jing married the eldest son of the Wang family, a scholar, thinking that the Wang family was a literati and a clear stream, with a strict family style, and after marriage, the husband and wife would be harmonious.
I never thought about my husband ****, I didn't restrain much after marriage, the concubine room was carried room by room, and Xiahou Jing's life was miserable.
Unlike when the old marquis was alive, the old lady hopes that the next generation will be prosperous, but it is a pity that the eldest son is away all the year round, so she can only let the second son spread out more.
Xiahou was a concubine in the Yu family, and the old lady instructed the Wang family to bring it in, and gave birth to a daughter and a son in a row, and she usually kept to herself. Compared with the other two concubines, they are more liked by the old lady.
The fourth girl, Xiahou Yu, was only five years old with her temples tied up, holding a small windmill in her hand to tease her one-year-old brother Xiahou Guang in her mother's arms, and Xiahou Guang stretched out her hand anxiously and drooled.
Xiahou Shuang, who was watching it, stepped forward with a move in her heart, picked up a silk handkerchief to wipe the saliva on Xiahou Guang's lips, and was so frightened that Yu Shi, who was standing aside, hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss, I can't help it, I stained your silk handkerchief." ”
"I think the fourth brother is cute and tight, and it doesn't matter if it's just a silk handkerchief. "If his child survives, he will be so lively and active, Xiahou Shuang's heart hurts slightly.
"Alright, Frostgirl, sit down. The old lady beckoned Xiahoushuang to sit beside her, and Mama Chen hurriedly served it, and the soup brought by the little maid looked at Xiahoushuang sitting on the brocade stool, and the old lady felt a little surprised.
Since the death of her biological mother Rong, this girl has also been raised by her side for a period of time, but her daily teaching is a little stricter, and she sometimes behaves fearfully when she is not close to herself.
Later, as there were more grandchildren around him, seeing that the Lin family treated this girl very well, he went with her. I haven't seen it for a few days, but I'm a little calmer.
"The maids you brought with you in the temple these days are still concerned. Is it her own granddaughter, the old lady couldn't help but ask.
"Back to my grandmother, the maids and daughters-in-law are also concerned, but some of them choose to sleep in the bed at night and are not stable. Not only is it unstable, since Xiahou Shuang opened his eyes and found that he was thirteen years old again, he could hardly sleep every night, and he couldn't talk about it to the old lady.
"You little girls take good care of Miss, go back and make some soothing soup for her. The old lady commanded to the spring buds,
"Yes. Chunya looked at her young lady, looking like she wanted to say something and stopped,
"You girl, you are clever on weekdays, do you have anything to say today? The old lady scolded when she saw Chunya's expression.
