Here, the Jing'an Mansion's group cake won the leader, Mrs. He was congratulated by all the noble ladies, and the Empress Dowager specially rewarded him with a set of sapphire heads, which made the Jing'an Mansion more honorable. Pinshu.com ()
It has been many years, Mrs. He has not been so popular in the palace, the old man is naturally in a good mood, Chu Lian has been by her grandmother's side all the time, naturally he is also greeted by the noble ladies.
Under the deliberate introduction of Mrs. He, Chu Lian took this opportunity to meet many noble ladies in Beijing.
When it was time to leave the palace, Concubine Wei specially sent a female officer beside her to ask her to go to Wei Palace to play in a few days, which again aroused the envy of a group of wives.
Arriving at the carriage of Uncle Jing'an's mansion, Chu Lian was about to help Mrs. He to board the carriage, but was stopped by an old lady who rushed up from behind.
This old lady is none other than the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion. The old lady is accompanied by a middle-aged lady who is slightly fat. When she smiles, her eyes are bent into crescents, which is very friendly.
"Old sister, walk slowly."
The old matriarch turned around, saw her, smiled and said: "My sister, what are you doing in such a hurry, walk slowly, and carefully twist your waist."
The old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion burst into laughter, and when she got to Mrs. He's side, the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion first glanced at Chu Lian with a smile, and then said to Mrs. He: "It's something to find old sister."
"The matter between you and me, why do you have to be polite, just say it." Mrs. He said generously.
The old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion was about to say that out of the corner of Chu Lian's eyes, she caught a glimpse of the person leaving the palace behind him, with a round face and eyebrows, isn't this Mrs. Pan
Didn't she leave early? Why are you leaving the palace now
Chu Lian frowned slightly. They offended Mrs. Pan today, and they were afraid that they would quarrel again when they met out of the palace. Chu Lian simply suggested, "Grandmother, there are many people at the gate of this palace. Why don't you get on the carriage and say it."
Mrs. He apparently also saw Mrs. Pan taking the maidservant out of the palace, so she dragged Mrs. Zheng Guogong's mansion into the large carriage of Jing'an Bo's mansion.
Although the Jing'an Bofu carriage is spacious, it is not as big as a room, and it seems a bit crowded when four people sit in it.
Mrs. Zou was about to open the curtain to come in, when Mrs. He said, "Daughter-in-law, the carriage is a bit crowded, you go and sit in the carriage at the back!"
Zou's hand holding the shaft of the carriage tightened, she raised her head and glanced at the four people in the carriage, finally lowered her head slightly and saluted Mrs. He in the carriage, then turned and went to the carriage behind.
Chu Lian glanced at the back of Mrs. Zou leaving lonely, and sighed slightly in her heart.
In the end, there was still a rift.
The elder sister-in-law Zou Shi had already worn tinted glasses when looking at her, and in the future, no matter what she did, she might not be able to catch her eyes. People don't offend me and I don't offend others. Although she doesn't like to care about it, she is definitely not a person who likes to suffer. In the future, with the Zou family, she will do whatever she wants.
Zheng Guogong's mansion is not very far from Jing'an Bo's mansion, and they are on the same road for a long time when they leave Zhuque Street, so it doesn't take much effort to talk in the carriage at this time.
The carriage of Zheng Guogong's mansion followed behind, and here in the carriage of Jing'an Bo's mansion, the two old sisters were talking and laughing.
Zheng Guogong's old lady also noticed something strange at the banquet. She took the hand of her old sister, Mrs. He, and comforted her: "On such occasions, it's rare for trouble to happen. It's good to pass safely now."
Mrs. He nodded, and smiled at the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion, "You, don't worry about it, our mansion is a blessing in disguise!"
Mrs. Zheng Guogong smiled, and looked at Chu Lian, "After tasting the cake, I will know that it was your little girl's idea. Sanlang is not at home, and it is fine to have you at the house. I will come to Zheng Guogong with your grandmother some other day. House visits."
Chu Lian was slightly startled, she didn't expect the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion to take the initiative to invite her. In the original text, this old lady is a reclusive person, and she only rarely interacts with the few wives she met when she was young.
Chu Lian looked at Mrs. He, as a junior, it was better for her to let Mrs. He make up her mind about such matters.
Mrs. He was very satisfied with Chu Lian's actions, she cast a reproachful glance at the old sister, "I see it's true that you want to try my Sanlang's daughter-in-law's craftsmanship, and it's fake to hire someone!"
Rao is the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion who has been handkerchiefs with Mrs. He for decades, when she heard Mrs. He expose her, her old face turned a little red.
She sighed softly, "To tell you the truth, I brought my daughter-in-law here to ask for something."
Chu Lian was surprised that Zheng Guogong's official fortune was prosperous, and the only young son was also in the Imperial College. This year, Qiu Wei will be able to go to high school. It can be said that everything is going well. Why, the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion will have something to ask the old lady to congratulate
Even if you are asking for help, you should not ask in front of Mrs. He. Although Mrs. He is considered to be highly respected and has a personal relationship with the old queen, she will definitely not interfere with the affairs of the official court.
Suddenly, Chu Lian's mind flashed, and she was slightly dumbfounded when she thought of something.
"After all, as long as the old sister can do it, I will do my best."
Mrs. Zheng Guogong glanced at Mrs. He, and was a little embarrassed for a moment. Seeing that her mother-in-law was embarrassed to speak, Mrs. Zheng Guogong spoke for her mother-in-law and said, "Old Madam, it's like this..."
Mrs. He was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Old Zheng Guogong to be bedridden and neither eat nor drink.
People who are close to Zheng Guogong's mansion know that Old Zheng Guogong is a gourmet gourmet. He has been to basically the top restaurants in Shengjing City. Looking for delicious food to travel around, just came back two months ago, the old man did not know what happened, and got anorexia. It's getting to the point of not eating now.
After explaining the reason, Mrs. Zheng Guogong, his wife and daughter-in-law all looked at Chu Lian expectantly, and Chu Lian was embarrassed to be looked at.
Mrs. He didn't expect that the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion begged her for such a thing. She couldn't laugh or cry, but she had to tell the truth, "Old sister, I know you are worried about old Zheng Guogong, so let me tell you the truth. San Lang's wife can cook some fresh dishes, but we can't guarantee whether this matter will be successful, we can only say that San Lang's wife will do her best."
"Hey! Of course, as long as Mr. Jinyi Township is willing to take action, I will be grateful. We really have no choice. The old man will not eat anything. If this continues, his body will collapse." Mrs. Zheng Guogong said anxiously.
Finally, after obtaining Chu Lian's consent, Mrs. He agreed to the request of the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion, and decided to visit Zheng Guogong's mansion in three days.
Chu Lian was a little sad and a little bit ridiculous. In the original text, the old man of Zheng Guogong's mansion passed away two months later. Could it be that the reason for his death was that he went on a hunger strike because he couldn't taste the delicious food he wanted
At a fork in the road, Mrs. Zheng Guogong took her daughter-in-law to say goodbye and boarded her carriage.
The only ones left in the carriage were Mrs. He and Chu Lian.
Mrs. He took Chu Lian's white and tender little hand, "Lian'er, today is thanks to you, otherwise our uncle's house will lose all face."
Chu Lian found out that the old matriarch liked to call her "Lian'er" whenever he talked to her in private.
She smiled, "Grandmother, don't say such things, I am also a member of the Jing'an House, this is what I should do."
Hearing Chu Lian's answer, Mrs. He was very relieved, "You child, it's hard for you, today it's not all your sister-in-law's fault, don't hate her, grandma knows she's having a hard time too."
Chu Lian was slightly startled, she didn't expect the old matriarch to think so, "We're all a family, so there's no need to bear grudges, sister-in-law doesn't know that she will lose the cake, she will support this family from now on!"
"Grandma knows that your sister-in-law has been treating you harshly during this time, don't worry, grandma will wake her up."
Chu Lian suppressed her astonishment. She didn't know that Mrs. He still had such thoughts in her heart, thinking that Mrs. Zou treated her harshly, that's why she frequently slapped Mrs. Zou in the face for "showing off"
Chu Lian sighed in his heart and felt a little tired. No wonder the predecessors said that communication is the most important thing. Chu Lian felt that it would be better to explain clearly now than to let the old lady continue to misunderstand in the future.
She raised her slightly lowered head, and her almond eyes were shining brightly and clear under the dim light in the car.
"Grandmother, the elders and children are orderly, and the relationship is always good. It is already a blessing for the granddaughter-in-law to marry into the He family. The granddaughter-in-law has nothing to do, and all she wants is to live a leisurely life. If she has time, she can do something else." It would be better if I could eat what I like and earn some money. The granddaughter-in-law is very lazy. After finishing all this, she would rather sleep in her small yard to accompany her grandmother. An older brother, and his granddaughter-in-law are naturally the youngest, after a while, maybe the second sister-in-law will come in!"
Chu Lian wanted to say that she really didn't want to be the housekeeper of the uncle's mansion, and she didn't even want to fight for the position of the eldest brother and sister-in-law in the uncle's mansion.
Seeing the pretty girl in front of her staring at her and saying these words, Mrs. He's shrewd eyes became more and more clear. Finally, she sighed and patted Chu Lian's little hand, "Grandmother blamed you."
Chu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. What she said was the truth, it would be great to be a rice worm, who would want to spend all day taking care of the family affairs and dealing with the various government affairs in the capital.
Chu Lian smiled and shook her head, "I don't blame grandma, people's hearts are separated by flesh, even a wise person can't see through people's hearts, grandson just hopes that if grandma is dissatisfied with grandson, don't hold back and say nothing. You must tell your granddaughter-in-law, she will definitely change it."
Open and honest, open heart to communicate this is the king of communication.
Chu Lian was not in the mood to play those ninety-nine and eighty-one twists and turns with others.
Mrs. He found that after today's heart-to-heart exchange in the carriage, she liked this little grandson-in-law even more.
She reached out and poked Chu Lian's forehead, "You stinky girl, don't think that grandma doesn't know what you're thinking and just wants to be lazy all day long. Although your sister-in-law is in charge of the house, you can't be too lazy, after all She is the mistress of the first hospital, and when the elders are gone in the future, you and Saburo will also live separately, if you don’t know anything, how can you manage the house!”
Chu Lian dispelled the doubts in Mrs. He's heart, and she rarely acted like a baby. Mrs. He was the first elder who treated her well in the Great Wu Dynasty, and she had long regarded this kind old lady as herself in her heart. real grandma.
She leaned close to Mrs. He, and Aijiao said: "Isn't there still a grandmother to support the granddaughter-in-law? In the future, Sanlang and I will go out alone. Grandma, you have to follow us, otherwise the granddaughter-in-law will not be able to handle it without the grandmother's advice." At that time, I will be laughed at by the servants."
"You little annoying spirit, since you know it, you still want to be lazy all day long."
