The rise of the poor

Chapter 562 Greetings
Just like Hou Men, as deep as the sea!

This sentence is definitely not an exaggeration. Even if the memory is as monstrous as Zhu Ping'an's, on the way to the old lady's place to say hello, he was almost dizzy. Ping An arrived at the courtyard where the old lady of the Hou Mansion was.

"My lord, the old lady's yard is ahead." The two girls who led the way reminded Zhu Ping'an in a low voice.

Zhu Pingan nodded, indicating that he knew, checked his attire and there was nothing wrong with it, and signaled the two girls to continue leading the way.

This hallway is relatively wide, and beyond the hallway is a huge emerald screen wall, which made Zhu Ping'an a little tongue-tied, wondering how much gold and silver it took to buy such a large jade screen wall.Bypassing this emerald screen wall, there is a spacious courtyard. This is the courtyard locked by the old lady of the Hou Mansion. When Zhu Pingan walked in, he saw a row of five main rooms, the ear room, the gate room, the kitchen room and so on. Everything is available.

"Uncle Wanan."

The six girls who were busy in the yard in an orderly manner saw Zhu Ping'an, bowed their knees in unison, bowed down, and greeted Zhu Ping'an with one voice.

Zhu Pingan nodded, and then asked, "Is grandma free?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Zhu Pingan walked towards the main room in the middle. The maid at the door had already rolled up the curtain when Zhu Pingan just arrived at the door, and Zhu Pingan walked in.

"I heard that my uncle is coming to say hello. The old lady has been happy for a long time. Come in quickly, my uncle. The old lady must be very happy to see my uncle."

In the back room of the main room, the big girl Zijuan in a dark green bijia came out and saluted Zhu Pingan with a smile.

"Grandmother is thinking of peace, and peace naturally has to come to pay her respects." Zhu Ping'an smiled lightly.

Zijuan opened the curtain with a smile, welcomed Zhu Pingan into the inner room, and then said to the room with a smile, "Madam, the son-in-law who you have been talking about is here to greet you."

The inner room was tidied up very luxuriously, facing the window there was a large kang covered with scarlet blankets, on the front there was a backrest for Mei Gu's birthday, pillows with gold blessing characters, and the quilts were all smoked with spices.On the kang is a pair of exquisite tables of huanghuali, with dried fruits, fragrant tea, spittoon and other things.

A red carpet was spread on the ground, four chairs with upholstered arms, cushions, and footrests were placed.There are vases with seasonal flowers, incense burners burning incense, and various unnamed ornaments in the room.

Zhu Ping'an entered the inner room and took a look, then saluted the silver-haired old woman sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the middle.When Zhu Pingan lived in the Hou Mansion, he had seen the old lady many times, and he could recognize the old lady as the old lady at a glance.

"The son-in-law is safe and greets the grandmother."

Zhu Pingan stood at attention one meter in front of the old lady's seat, then stepped forward with his left leg, put his left hand on his knee, half-kneeled on his right leg, and bent one knee to say hello to the old lady.

Perhaps many people think that greeting peace is a Manchu etiquette, but this is not the case. Greeting peace originated from the Ming Dynasty, and it was one of the earliest military ceremonies in the Ming Dynasty. There is a standard description of the etiquette of greeting peace in the "Daming Huidian", which is called " Bend one knee."Theoretically speaking, a soldier should kneel down to salute when he sees an officer, but because he is wearing armor and cannot kneel down, he only bows one knee or half a knee to salute.I got used to it over time, even if I don't wear armor, soldiers will bow their knees to salute when they see the officer, which is the same as kowtowing and bowing, and it has the meaning of greeting and greeting.

The unique etiquette of the Manchus should be to kneel, which is to kneel on both knees. At this time, the monarch's corruption reached its peak, and the people of the world, including officials, are the emperor's slaves, so they kneel on both knees.

"Brother Ang, get up, you have suffered a lot on this journey, and the incident at sea scared grandma. Come here, let grandma take a good look at it." The old lady stretched out her hand, signaling Zhu Pingan to get up quickly.

Zhu Pingan responded, and stood up, and then saw that the old lady of the Hou Mansion was not looking at her, so she smiled and looked at the old lady calmly.

"Why have you lost so much weight?" The old lady looked up and down for a moment, and asked distressedly. Then, without waiting for Zhu Ping'an's answer, she looked at Zijuan and said, "Zijuan, go to the warehouse and get the money that was rewarded by the palace last time." Bird's nest, Ganoderma lucidum, velvet antler, ginseng, snow lotus and other supplements are given to Angle and the others in half."

"The old ancestor is really eccentric. After being begged for a long time, the old ancestor gave him a little bit. Now that the brother-in-law has just arrived and has not spoken yet, the grandmother will give half of it."

As soon as the voice from the old lady's side fell, she heard a coquettish and coquettish female voice coming in. On the surface, it was a grievance, but it was actually a coquettish invitation.

As soon as Zhu Ping'an turned his head, he saw Miss Six in a light pink gauze skirt walking in with a scent of fragrance. The round baby's fat face was laughing, and she came to the old lady with her small canine teeth, and hugged the old lady. His arms acted coquettishly.

"You monkey has sharp ears, get up quickly, don't look at who is there, just act like a coquettish shamelessly." The old lady patted Miss Liu's fragrant shoulder dotingly, and joked with a smile road.

Only then did Miss Six raise her head from the old lady's arms, looked at Zhu Ping'an, and smiled coquettishly without any shyness, "Grandmother will change the topic, brother-in-law is not an outsider, grandson is not ashamed."

Miss Six boldly looked at Zhu Ping'an with her dark eyes, her eyes were charming, her round oval face was blushing, like a lively bird, with a sweet and lively aura around her.

Zhu Pingan watched his mouth with his eyes, his nose with his mouth, and his heart with his nose. There was no wave in his eyes.

"You monkey is looking for grandmother again, okay, okay, I will let Zijuan send the box of Dongzhu that you have been coveting for a long time to your yard." Miss's baby fat face, promised to give her a box of Dongzhu.

"Hehe, the grandson will thank the old ancestor." Miss Six thanked the old lady happily.

"Okay, the big girl who is about to leave the court, and she is not in good shape, go and sit on the side." The old lady patted Miss Six's arm and reprimanded lovingly.

"Obey, old ancestor." Sixth Miss got up and smiled coquettishly, performing a standard female salute, and then sat down on a chair beside the old lady.

"You monkey..." The old lady couldn't laugh or cry.

"Thank you for your grandmother's love, Ping'an, but this tonic was given to her by the palace. No matter how unfilial Ping'an is, she would not dare to share her tonic." Zhu Pingan smiled and shook his head, rejecting the old lady's love.

"Your child, since the palace has rewarded the grandmother, it will belong to the grandmother. If the grandmother gives it to you, you can keep it. You and Xiao Wu should make up for each other, which is the greatest filial piety to the grandmother." The old lady of the Hou Mansion insisted again road.

Zhu Pingan declined again, and then the old lady made an angry look and said that the elder did not dare to resign. After a confrontation of numbers, a consensus was reached, and finally Zhu Pingan accepted one-third of the tonic.

"Shu'er, why didn't you come back together?" The old lady asked with concern.

Zhu Pingan explained to the old lady the reason why Li Shu came back a few days late, and the old lady nodded after hearing this, saying that it would be good to come back a few days late, saving the travel on the road.

After talking for a while, the old lady asked about Zhu Ping'an's memorial, and persuaded Zhu Ping'an to give in to the Yan family. For the sake of Ping'an's official career, he advised Zhu Ping'an to leave the relationship with the Yan Mansion.

"Grandmother, don't worry, Ping An knows how to measure." Zhu Ping'an rolled his eyes, and replied ambiguously without saying too much.

The old lady thought that Zhu Ping'an had listened, she nodded in satisfaction, talked again, asked about Zhu Ping'an's affairs at sea, and then asked Zijuan to send Zhu Ping'an back to rest.
