take a wife to support the family

Chapter 464 The Zhu family is going to Beijing 3
A few days earlier, the Palace and Prince Xin's Mansion got the news that Song Haonian took the children back to Beijing and sent someone to pick them up.

As soon as everyone got into the carriage, they went to the palace first, and Lily was in a hurry: "My parents haven't learned etiquette yet, how can they face the saint?"

Song Haonian was also afraid that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would be in a panic, making people laugh is a minor matter, but annoying the emperor is a major matter.Fortunately, Wang Chengen heard it, turned around and smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will take them together, but I am afraid that the old man and the old lady are not familiar with the place in Beijing, and they will be flustered when they suddenly leave you. Now I have sent someone to tell Uncle Li. After a while, His Royal Highness will go straight into the palace, and we will naturally arrange for the old lady and the old man to go with the uncle's house."

Only then did the husband and wife breathe a sigh of relief: the national rules and etiquette were kept there, and they rashly brought people who had never performed the etiquette before the empress, and something happened.

This is not considered to be contemptuous of people, it is really a country family, seeing Master Liu and not knowing where to put his hands and feet, how can he deal with the royal family?

Mrs. Zhu just got off the boat, her feet felt like she was stepping on silk, she looked at the pier and said, "Why are there so few people, not as many as in our county?"

Mrs. Chang said with a smile: "This is the official boat dock, no one else is allowed to enter."

As he spoke, he helped Mrs. Zhu get into the carriage, and walked towards the Forbidden City.On the way, Mrs. Zhu was fidgeting, and said to Carpenter Li: "Old man, you said that when I see the emperor later, should we call my in-laws or long live?"

Carpenter Li Bamboo was very nervous, he never dreamed that he would see the emperor one day, that is God's son!Carpenter Li sweated when he called out his in-laws to his wife: "Don't dare to call them in-laws!"

Mrs. Zhu secretly lifted the curtain of the car and looked around. All the way around, he saw that the streets of the capital city were countless times wider than Taiping County, the number of people was many times larger, and the whole capital city was countless times more prosperous than Taiping County.

Zhu frowned and smiled: "The capital city is really a good place, this time we come here, we will not be in vain to visit the world."

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the world is peaceful and prosperous. The prosperity of the capital makes the old couple's eyes too busy. Soon after seeing the majestic towers of the Forbidden City, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help chanting: "Amitabha, this is the imperial palace! This roof is supposed to be made of gold? "

She thought to herself, how rich the emperor's family must be!

As soon as the carriage turned a corner, Song Haonian and others' cars went directly into the palace, Li Qingsong and Xu Caiwen were already waiting at the gate of the palace, after thanking Wang Chengen, they took their parents back to his own home.

Seeing that Qingsong was so excited, Mrs. Zhu wanted to hug her into her arms and rub her. Qingsong was already a married person, so she quickly avoided his mother's hand and said, "Father, mother, are you tired on the road? Yueniang is already here. Prepare food at home, let's go home!"

Mrs. Zhu was so happy that she couldn't see her eyes, she agreed again and again, and looked back at the Forbidden City after a while, and said: "Your sister is heartless, leave us and go, I haven't even seen the emperor's face."

Xu Caiwen smiled and said: "Ma'am, my sister Lily loves you so much. You don't know. When you see the emperor, you have to learn etiquette first. You need to learn etiquette for two or three days just kneeling down. You are tired all the way. If you go to learn those people right away." , aren't you tired?"

Qingsong also said: "You didn't come to the capital to meet me, did you come here specifically to see Long Live? Your son is right in front of you, so please tell me how our family has been doing in the past two years."

Zhu's always loved Qingsong the most, and Qingsong was willing to listen to her, so she was naturally happy, and chatted with Qingsong about the family situation in the past two years.

Time passed quickly as soon as she spoke, and when Mrs. Zhu finished talking about Song Xiuxiu marrying Liu Sanping, she took a breather and continued to talk. The carriage turned from the main street to the side street, and then from the side street to the alley. Mrs. Zhu opened her eyes wide: "This place Why is it so small?"

Qingsong said: "The land in the capital is tight, this alley is wide enough for a carriage."

As he spoke, he stopped at a small black lacquered door. There was no plaque or drum stone in front of the door, but the door knocker was gilded with a beast's mouth swallow ring, which was somewhat dignified.

Qingsong helped his parents get out of the car, Xu Caiwen went to knock on the door, when the door opened, a decent little daughter-in-law walked out and said with a smile: "Is it Uncle Li, Aunt Li?"

Xu Caiwen said: "That's right, Sister Yueniang?" It turns out that this is Xu Caiwen's daughter-in-law, Dou Wuniang. "

"Sister Yueniang just said that there are two dishes missing, and she will clean up the dust for uncle and auntie. She can't eat all the home-cooked food, so she went out to order a few good dishes and came back. Come in and rest for a while, I thought about her and came back .”

Qingsong brought her parents into the house, this is a small second courtyard, the young couple of Qingsong lived in the backyard, and the young couple of Wenwa lived in the front yard.The yard is only one zhang square, and there are several clusters of chrysanthemums planted along the base of the wall, which are kept very vigorously.

Zhu's heart is not good, she is full of thoughts of going to the capital to enjoy the blessings, why does the place where her son lives looks narrower than the countryside?
In the Qingsong courtyard, it is not much bigger than the outside, and there are only a few narrow rooms, one of which is at most half the size of the Li family's house in the village.

At that time, Zhu's tears came down, and he grabbed Qingsong's hand and asked, "You live in this place?"

Qingsong said with a smile: "The capital city is no better than our countryside, just this house, which can't be saved by idlers for 20 years."

Zhu said: "It's hard for my son..."

Without saying a word, Liu Yueniang came back, and when she saw the old couple of Carpenter Li, she rushed to apologize and say hello: "It's my fault that I didn't arrange the time well, I should have been waiting for mother at the door early."

Let the old couple sit on the head again, and lay down the mat to worship. Qingsong and Yueniang kowtowed three times firmly, and then they got up and talked.

Mrs. Zhu continued what she said just now: "The room you live in is too narrow."

Dou Wuniang grew up in the capital and never went to the countryside, so she smiled and said, "It's rare to have a house like this in the capital. Some families have more than a dozen people, and the yard they live in is not as big as ours."

Mrs. Zhu just couldn't figure it out: "It's said that the capital is rich and noble, but I don't think it's as good as our countryside?"

Qingsong said with a smile: "The houses in the capital are like this, you will always know it in the future."

Mrs. Zhu rested for a while, the dizziness that just got off the boat finally disappeared, looking around inside and outside the house, Yueniang went to the kitchen to work for a while, and after a while, she laid out a table of dishes and called everyone to eat.

Mrs. Zhu took a look and found that there were chickens, ducks and fish. It can be seen that this daughter-in-law is not neglecting her. It's not easy, people say 'a good wife is less likely to cause trouble', whether the family is prosperous or not depends entirely on you."

Yueniang paused, then smiled and agreed: "The stepmother will teach me more in the future."

Mrs. Zhu was proud, and said the truth one by one, as if how virtuous she was as a daughter-in-law and how well she managed the Li family.

Qingsong gave Zhushi a piece of stewed pig's trotters with chopsticks, and advised her to eat the meat: "This taste is better than my sister's stewed trotters, try it."

Zhu Shi followed his daughter and son-in-law along the way, at most he would be a bit tired, but he didn't suffer a loss in his mouth, he chewed and swallowed, and said: "The taste is still good, it would be better if it is lighter."

Yueniang and Dou Wuniang are very temperamental. In the past, when they lived together as young people, they always joked when they were eating. Now that their parents-in-law are sitting on top, Yueniang dare not talk too much. Two sentences: "I heard that Qingliu Town has the best scenery, how does the aunt look at the capital?"

Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "I think the capital city is good. There are many people and the houses are taller. It's more lively than the town! But the house is too narrow and it's hard to breathe."

Carpenter Li said in a low voice, "There are so many people, no matter how big the house is, it won't be able to accommodate them."

Mrs. Zhu pretended not to hear, and said while eating pig ears, "This would be better with rice wine."

Yue Niang hurriedly said: "There is hot rice wine, I'll go and sift it." She went to sift the wine.

Mrs. Zhu leaned over to Qingsong and whispered, "Your wife doesn't like me to drink? My mother gave birth to you once, why drink her two sips of wine?"

Qingsong couldn't laugh or cry: "I told Yueniang that you have been exhausted all the way, and don't drink, lest your bones can't bear it, don't rely on Yueniang."

Mrs. Zhu just pretended that Qingsong was covering for Yueniang, curled her lips and didn't speak.

Here Mrs. Zhu eats and rests with her son and daughter-in-law without mentioning it. Song Haonian and others go to the Queen's Palace and pay respects first. " Flop into the arms of the emperor and empress.

You know, even if the adults don't see each other for a year, they still feel that the days are too long, not to mention that these children are all young, and a year occupies too much time in their lives. I can't remember the appearance of the emperor's grandfather, he must not forget me."

When they met each other, as soon as they threw themselves into their arms, the stranger flew to the country of Java, each of them was overjoyed.

King Xin and Concubine Zhou also had smiles all over their faces, hugged a child with one hand, and stretched out the other to Ruzhen and Ruchun, "Come to grandparents."

Ruzhen really doesn't remember King Xin and Princess Zhou, but he is very clever, he asked his sisters before entering the palace, and he knew that his grandfather was the most loving, so Song Haonian put him on the ground, and he ran over and crawled skillfully Xin Wang kneeled: "Grandfather, I am a real brother!"

Of course Xin Wang knew that he was a real brother, he smiled and weighed him and said: "Our real brother has grown up a lot compared to last time."

Ruzhen opened her eyes wide and said nonsense: "Grandfather, I miss you so much, I miss you every day!"

Believe in Wang Yingming all his life, Lin Lao was coaxed by this obsequious grandson, if he really said what he believed, he just nodded with a smile.

Ruchun still leaned on Baihe, looking at Princess Zhou seriously.

Princess Zhou smiled kindly, Ruchun thought for a while before taking a step forward.He couldn't walk very well, he stumbled, and when he reached Princess Zhou, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell headlong into Princess Zhou's arms.

Princess Zhou quickly hugged him, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chun, do you know that I am a grandmother?"

Princess Zhou would hold the child, Ruchun nestled into a comfortable position, and smiled at Princess Zhou with squinting eyes.Song Haonian said: "Mother, our brother Chun can't speak yet, but he knows in his heart that you are a grandmother, so he is close to you."

Princess Zhou had heard about Ruchun's inability to speak in Song Haonian's letters. Now that she sees such a cute grandson of Yuxue who can't speak, she can't help but feel a pain in her heart: "Pity my brother Chun. !"
