Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 147
In the front hall of the Duke's Mansion.

The old Duke and Mrs. Xu sat on the first seat together, Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu sat on the first and second seats on the left side, and the rest sat on the right side, and those who couldn't sit down sat next to Luo Jinxiu The huge front hall was filled with almost all the masters of the Duke's Mansion.

The housekeeper and the maids came over to deliver tea and snacks, but no one moved. Without exception, everyone looked at Yun Jinghao and his wife silently. There was no malice in these people's eyes, they were just curious and simply sized up. Of course, Nor pan some joy.

As soon as the old man saw Yun Jinghao, he suddenly thought of his daughter, who lost his daughter when he was old, even though he had been sad before, when he saw his grandson at this time, he was still inevitably sad, unable to speak for a long time, just silent He looked at Yun Jinghao silently.

When the elders don't speak, the younger generations can only continue to keep silent even if they have a lot to say.

After a long time, Mrs. Xu was the first to ask with concern: "You seem to have lost weight. You must have worked hard on the road."

Yun Jinghao just shook his head, and Luo Jinxiu replied with a smile: "It's not hard work." It was hard work at first, but then there were more people in the same company, at least there was nothing to say about food and clothing.

"When we first came to the capital, Jing Hao and I brought a lot of things to our family, but none of them were worth anything. I hope you don't dislike them."

The eldest uncle of the Yan family said: "What are you talking about? It's all from my family. When your grandmother came back, she brought back a lot of things. The family members like it very much."

The eyes of the female family members present lit up, and they all nodded in agreement.

With such a good opening, the atmosphere relaxed a lot, and it was easier to talk about the rest of the story.

The uncle of the Yan family first introduced the family members present here. Luo Jinxiu knew about the family composition of the Duke's Mansion from Xu and Yan Jingcheng before, but he had never seen that he was not a match, so today he happened to recognize someone.

Although Yun Jinghao didn't speak, he looked at the past one by one according to the introduction of the uncle of the Yan family, and nodded to greet people.

Compared with those families in central Beijing where there are many concubines, concubine-born children, and a family of masters who add up to dozens or even hundreds of people, the population of Yan's family is relatively simpler.

At the top are the old Duke and his wife, who have become an official and retired at home. The two have four children in total, the eldest son, the second son and the daughter, and the youngest son.

The eldest son is Yan Junyu, the eldest uncle of the Yan family, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, and his wife have two sons, Yan Jinghong and Yan Jingcheng. Among them, Yan Jinghong is married and has a son, Yan Mingfeng.The young man and the kid that Luo Jinxiu speculated before were the father and son, and the one sitting with them was Yan Jinghong's wife Zhou.

The second son, Yan Junrui, is also Yun Jinghao's second uncle, who is currently serving as a general in the army and is away all year round. His wife died early, and his daughter, Yan Jingxian, is married and is here at this time.

Needless to say, the daughter is Yun Jinghao's mother, who has been dead for more than 20 years.

The youngest son Yan Junze, uncle, has been to Shangxi Village before, has met, and has a son and a daughter with his wife, Yan Jingyu and Yan Jingshu, Yan Jingyu is married, his wife is Wu, Yan Jingshu is just 16 years old this year, not yet married, waiting for the word boudoir middle.

Counting down, there are only 15 people who can be regarded as the masters of the Duke's Mansion. At this time, only the second uncle Yan Junrui and Yan Junze who has not returned from the Ministry of Industry are absent at this time.

Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu called their uncle, aunt, third aunt, cousin, and cousins ​​one by one, and the elders took off the bracelets and hairpins they were wearing as gifts for Luo Jinxiu. The red envelopes have already been prepared, and they are very thick and sincere.

As soon as she arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Luo Jinxiu received a bunch of gifts and red envelopes.

After the atmosphere warmed up, the elders were more concerned about their situation in Shangxi Village, asking them how they lived there, how the food was, and I heard that the members of the Yun family lived in Xu Village. After Mrs. Shi left, did any other troubles annoy them?

As the eldest aunt, Shizi's wife even said directly to them: "Otherwise, you should move to the capital and live with us. Our relatives are all in the capital, and we can take care of each other. In the capital, I guarantee that no one will Dare to bully you."

The third aunt also said: "That's right! If someone who doesn't have eyes bullies you, our Duke's Mansion will definitely not spare them lightly!"

Luo Jinxiu could tell that these elders cared about them sincerely. Maybe they just met for the first time today, and they didn't have any emotional basis, but as long as they knew that they were relatives connected by blood, it wouldn't hinder them from showing sincere care to them as juniors .

It was this kind of attitude that made Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu feel very warm and warm in their hearts, and their goodwill towards the Duke's Mansion also increased steadily.

Seeing their relaxed expressions and getting along well with their family members, Mrs. Xu felt very relieved, smiled and watched for a while, and then said: "Okay, okay, Jing Hao and Jinxiu must be tired after tossing all the way, let them go first. Rest for a while, and clean up the dust for them at night!"

"What mother said is true, but we were negligent." Shizi looked at Yun Jinghao and the two with shame, "I'll let someone take you down to rest first, the yard has been prepared for you, it was the former residence of Grand Hyatt, you guys Do you mind living there?"

Yun Jinghao's expression moved slightly, Luo Jinxiu also raised his eyebrows in surprise, glanced sideways at the people around him, took his hand, and said to the son, "Of course I don't mind, we really want to live there, uncle Lao You bother."

The eldest son was very satisfied with Luo Jinxiu, a niece and daughter-in-law who was born as a commoner, but spoke and behaved very well, and also smiled, "It's nothing, it was arranged by your grandmother."

Luo Jinxiu thanked Xu again, "Thank you grandma."

Xu's eyes were full of kindness, "Go and rest."

Before leaving, the two deliberately saluted and greeted the old man who had never spoken, but his expression was obviously much gentler. Seeing that there was a bit of satisfaction in their eyes, the old man also nodded slightly in response.

Yan Junyue's courtyard is not too far away, and it is located near the center of the residences of the various masters of the Duke's Mansion. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Luo Jinxiu found that the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard were well taken care of. It doesn't look like they were transplanted temporarily because they were going to come here, but they grow naturally in the yard all year round, and someone takes good care of them. There are not many weeds, let alone the gray feeling of no one living in it.

There were servants busy inside and outside the yard, and when they saw them coming, they came over respectfully to say hello.

The whole courtyard feels as if the owner has never left. Just looking at this novelty, it is hard not to move people, and it is even more difficult to lose his daughter, the old man with white hair and the old man with black hair. Mrs. Xu felt sorry.

Yun Jinghao was silent all the way, but his gaze seemed to want to remember everything here, sweeping every plant and tree in the courtyard one by one.

This is the place where his mother was born...

The elder son who led them personally also talked about Yan Junyue with regrets and reminiscences, from childhood to adulthood. Following his description, Luo Jinxiu roughly outlined a talented girl who was lively and intelligent since she was a child image of.

However, Yun Jinghao searched for his mother's memory from his childhood memories that had been blurred for a long time, and he couldn't connect her with the person that Shizi said.

If his mother hadn't been captured and exiled to Shangxi Village back then, she would still be the beloved daughter of her grandfather and grandmother at this time, combined with a talented young man with the same ability and good conduct, she has an enviable personality. Live a happy life, instead of suffering for several years in a small village like Shangxi Village in obscurity, unable to think of your loved ones until death, and never being able to see your loved ones again.

Keenly aware of the depressed mood and gloomy expressions of the people around her, Luo Jinxiu hurriedly grabbed Yun Jinghao's hand and comforted him silently.

Yun Jinghao turned his head, just in time to see the worry in her eyes, and the heat from her palm made him understand that he was not alone, although his mother was no longer there, but he still had a wife, and he found a new one for her. After returning to relatives, my mother should be able to rest in peace under Jiuquan.

After sending them to the place, Shizi left without stopping.

The servants in the yard prepared hot water for them to bathe in, and brought them some pastries to cushion their stomachs. There was still a few hours before dinner, and Luo Jinxiu was indeed a little tired. She just yawned and He was dragged into bed by Yun Jinghao.

"People from the mansion will come to inform you when the time comes, let's sleep for a while." Yun Jinghao said.

Luo Jinxiu hummed and leaned into his arms, but she didn't close her eyes immediately, but asked him: "Are you happy to meet someone from the Duke's Mansion today?"

Yun Jinghao was silent for a while, then hummed, and said in a low voice, "They are fine."

Four simple words, but it explained everything.

Only then did Luo Jinxiu wrap her hands around his neck in satisfaction, raised the corners of her lips and closed her eyes, "That's good."

Yun Jinghao put one hand on her back and rubbed it lightly, and he kept recalling what the relatives in the Duke's Mansion of Cai just said in his mind, his cold face softened unconsciously, and he also smiled silently.

The two hugged each other and slept for more than half an hour before being woken up by the servant who came to knock on the door.

After washing his face and putting on new clothes, he followed the servants to the dining room. Everyone he had met before had already arrived, including the little uncle Yan Junze who came back from the Ministry of Industry.

After exchanging a few more greetings, they sat down one after another. It can be seen from the rich dishes full of color, fragrance and taste on the table that the Duke's Mansion really welcomes them. Personally pick up food, I am afraid that they will feel uncomfortable and eat badly.

After a meal, the sense of distance between the two parties narrowed a lot again. Yan Jingyu and Yan Jingshu, who were of the same generation and more active in the third room, even took the initiative to take them to have a good time in the capital.
