Red House Shoufu

Chapter 247 Once Grandma Liu Enters Rongguo Mansion
Rongguo Mansion set up a grand banquet today to commemorate the emperor's kindness and celebrate the completion of the Provincial Court, to entertain relatives and friends, and many noble relatives and relatives in Beijing joined in.

The carriages of nobles who came to the banquet lined up from the entrance of Ningrong Street to the gate of Rongguo Mansion. Jia Lian, who had just reminded Wang Xifeng from Rongxi Hall, was waiting at the door with his brothers, nephews and nephews to greet the guests, saluting and greeting the elders from time to time.

At this time, Xing'er, the boy, came to the middle gate and whispered to Jia Lian, "Master, an old lady came by the back gate, and she brought a child about three years old with her. She said she was an old relative of the Wang family. The second wife..."

Upon hearing about the Wang family, Jia Lian felt a little impatient.There is a lot of boredom in the words: "What is the old man of the Wang family? Did you say what you want to do with the second wife?"

Xing'er sensed that Jia Lian's mood was getting worse, and quickly explained: "The old lady said that the family is in trouble, and I am afraid that it will not be solved. The son-in-law's family used to go to the Wang's house together, so she thought of coming to the mansion for help in desperation. If the master doesn't want to deal with these things, the villain will go and drive her away?"

It turned out that they were relatives who were out of reach!
Jia Lian glared at Xing'er, and when he saw someone looking towards him, he reprimanded him: "Nonsense, since it's the second wife's relative, that family is your second grandma's relative. Everyone wants face. , so at an old age and with children, there is nothing we can do if we don’t care about face and come to the house for help. If we drive people away, will our conscience be able to live with it? "

"My master taught me that it was the villain who made a mistake." Xing'er quickly apologized.

Seeing Jia Lian scolding the servants with a red head and white face, a familiar son of Xungui surrounded him curiously and asked, "Brother Lian, what's the matter? Why are you so angry on such a happy day?"

Jia Lian clasped his hands with several people and explained: "The servant is stupid, so I just scolded a few words, but I didn't expect to disturb a few brothers."

"I just overheard Brother Lian talking about driving people away. Is someone here to make trouble? Do you want me to call Bing Ma Si?"

The person who said this was Xu Yaoqing, the eldest son of Wencheng Bo's family, who was in charge of the five cities' soldiers and horses. He usually had a deep relationship with Jia Lian and had a good relationship.

Jia Lian bowed his hands and thanked him: "Brother Xu is on duty. It is the old relatives of the Wang family who came from the back door. This old lady encountered difficulties at home. She was afraid that she would not be able to solve the problem, so she brought her three-year-old grandson to the house to ask the second wife for help. .”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and told Xing'er: "The second wife is inconvenient now, you take her to the second grandma's side. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of a family, let alone the old relative of your second grandma's natal family. Remember to let the accountant Give some money and food, and send them back in a carriage when they go back."

Xing'er immediately bowed to accept the order, and trotted towards the back door.

At the gate, Xu Yaoqing and other honorable children all bowed their hands in praise of Rongguo Mansion's benevolent deeds. Xu Yaoqing suddenly said: "Shouldn't this old lady go to Mr. Wang for help first? Why did she come to Rongguo Mansion, which is farther away?" .”

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "I don't know about that. Maybe the Wang family's threshold is too high. In contrast, the old ancestor's reputation for benevolence is good, so it should give others hope."

At this time, most of the people chatting with Jia Lian were from families with good relations with the Rongguo Mansion, and they knew a little about the grievances between the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family.In addition, Wang Ziteng has been promoted very quickly in recent years, which has eroded a lot of the interests of his family, so he naturally does not have a good impression of Wang Ziteng.

As soon as Jia Lian uttered these words full of deep meaning, everyone lamented how difficult the people's livelihood is, and said that they should do more good deeds.

……

Grandma Liu, holding her young grandson in her arms, tremblingly followed Xing'er into the Rongguo Mansion through the back door, only to see pavilions, towers and pavilions in the mansion, and gurgling water.

Because it was not far from the kitchen, the banquet was approaching, and the aroma of the food kept stimulating her empty stomach.

After eating a little porridge in the morning, she and her grandson set off for the capital city. They stopped and went and took a carriage from an acquaintance on the way to the capital city before noon.

Originally, she said that she went to the mansion of Uncle Wang's family first, but the gatekeeper of Wang's family directly drove her away from the door. She had no choice but to come to Rongguo Mansion to try her luck.

The smell of the food made Grandma Liu's grandson Ban'er's mouth deflate, and he whispered, "Grandma, I'm hungry..."

Grandma Liu quickly coaxed Ban'er: "Ban'er is good, bear with it, we will go out later, and grandma will buy you a sesame seed cake to eat."

Xing'er, who was the leader in front, turned around and said with a smile: "The old man's words are a slap in the face of our Rongguo Mansion. When my relatives come to the mansion as guests, how can we let the guests leave hungry."

While talking, Wang Xifeng who received the news had sent Ping'er to pick him up.I saw the pink long dress and brocade clothes, the high bun with gold hairpins inlaid with pearls and diamonds, the makeup is elegant but quite luxurious, making Grandma Liu think that this is the second grandma Xinger mentioned just now .

Grandma Liu was holding the child, and was about to bow her knees when Ping'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "What is this old man doing? You are so old, and you are a relative of our family. This salute by the elders is not to offend me." birthday?"

"Second Mistress is kind-hearted, but the old woman can't pretend to be an elder by licking her face..."

When Ping'er smiled and was about to explain, Xing'er said with a smile: "This is Aunt Ping from the mansion, the most capable person around Second Grandma, also came to the mansion from the Wang family."

Then he said to Ping'er: "The second master still needs to serve, and the younger one will leave the old man to my aunt."

……

Waiting for Ping'er to bring grandma Liu and grandson to Wang Xifeng's yard, which is only separated by a wall from the small courtyard of several girls, all the girls came here to see what the old man of the Wang family looks like.

After Grandma Liu entered the room, she saw an exquisite silk embroidered screen. She turned around and walked two steps, and saw a noble little lady in a red brocade dress, with her hair tied in a bun and wearing gold and jade, sitting on the kang. There is still a baby in her arms humming nursery rhymes.

Surrounded by a circle of noble ladies, big and small, all of them looked like immortals, and almost made her come to the fairyland alone.

"Grandma, the old man is here."

Wang Xifeng naturally didn't know Grandma Liu, but the old Wang family who followed Jia Wang's family to Rongguo Mansion did remember this old Wang family.

After she heard the news, she had already sent someone to find out who the grandson-in-law Wang Gouer was talking about in Grandma Liu's mouth. After Grandma Liu entered the room, she raised her head and said kindly: "My family, please sit down, the house is very busy today." , I really can’t get away to meet you, so don’t be offended.”

"Second Mistress was joking, the old woman is a vulgar person, how can I trouble you to greet her."

Grandma Liu put her grandson on the ground and was about to pay respects immediately.When she came, she found out clearly that the two Wang family married into the Rongguo Mansion were both official wives who had been bestowed with phoenix coronets and xiapei by the Holy Majesty. It was said in the play that ordinary people like them bowed and bowed when they saw the official wives.

Seeing that Grandma Liu was about to kneel down, Ping'er, who understood Wang Xifeng's thoughts best, quickly supported her again.

Sure enough, Wang Xifeng first glanced at Ping'er appreciatively, and then said gently to Grandma Liu: "What is Liu's family doing? In terms of seniority, you are my elder. Sit down and talk quickly. Ping'er, let someone see you off." Some refreshments are coming, you can't move your eyes from looking at the little doll."
