Now, she finally understands her mother.
The Sheng Mansion is also lively today, because it is the day for the eldest daughter to return home to peace. The momentum of Shili Hongzhuang's wedding three days ago has not completely dissipated. When she returns today, many people in Jiying Lane are curious about the eldest daughter of the Sheng family.
of Guining.
When the carriage of the Zhou family of Marquis Zhongjing arrived at Jiying Lane, it immediately caused a lot of commotion. The black-painted double carriage was really majestic.
Cuichan and Caihan got off the carriage first, while Zhou Chen helped Hua Lan get off the carriage together.
As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Sheng Changbai and others waiting at the door.
"big sister."
Sheng Changbai is now over fifteen years old, and he already behaves like Sheng Hong in dealing with others, but he is more serious than Sheng Hong.
In addition to Sheng Changbai, there are also two children of the Sheng family, Sheng Changsong and Sheng Changwu.
Sheng Changsong is slightly larger than Sheng Hualan, while Sheng Changwu is smaller than Sheng Hualan.
Although Zhou Chen is older than them, he naturally calls him the same name as Sheng Hualan.
"Sister, brother-in-law, come in quickly. Grandma and mother are waiting for you."
Zhou Chen and Hualan first went to Mrs. Sheng's Shou'antang.
"Hua'er."
"grandmother."
When grandparents and grandchildren see each other again, they are all very happy, hugging each other and laughing.
Zhou Chen used to call his aunt grandma, but now he also calls her "grandma" along with Hua Lan.
"Brother Chen, Hua'er, come quickly. You are busy that day and don't have time to meet your great-grandmother. Today is a good day."
The old lady pointed to a kind-hearted old lady next to her and asked Zhou Chen and Hua Lan to pay their respects.
Hua Lan had met her eldest grandmother, so she naturally recognized her and bowed respectfully.
Zhou Chen also saluted respectfully: "I have seen my great grandmother, my great grandmother Ci'an."
"Okay, okay, okay."
The old lady in the main room of the Sheng family was full of joy and extremely happy.
"What a talented person, with a handsome appearance. Sister, I heard that this child is still related to you by blood. Hua'er's marriage is very well said."
The old lady was also very happy: "Brother Chen is indeed my niece's child. He has been obedient since he was a child, and now he is a majestic general."
"Okay, okay, I have liked this kid Hua'er since he was a child. He is a lucky one."
The old lady of the first house was really happy for Hua Lan, and then she thought of her granddaughter. The eldest granddaughter had also reached the age of marriage, but it was a pity that she was not as lucky as Hua Lan to find such a prominent and wealthy son-in-law.
The old lady had a conversation with Hua Lan, and then said: "Hua'er, Brother Chen, you go to see the eldest lady first, and come back later. Grandma wants to have a good talk with you."
"Okay, grandma, then I will go with the officials to pay homage to my mother."
"Okay, let's go."
"Grandma, let's go there first and come back later."
Watching Zhou Chen and Hualan leave, the old lady's face was filled with joy. Hualan was the granddaughter she had cared for for more than ten years, and Zhou Chen was her grandnephew. She was happier than anyone else that they could become a couple.
The old lady of Dafang praised: "Tokyo is a place where Feng Shui is good at raising people. Hua'er's husband can't be found in our small place in Youyang."
The old lady smiled and said: "In that case, sister, please stay with me for a few more days."
"It's up to the children."
Zhou Chen and Sheng Hualan arrived at Madam Wang's Wei Ruixuan.
But what surprised Zhou Chen was that besides Mrs. Wang, there was also a lady sitting next to Mrs. Wang who was waiting to see them. It seemed that she had a close relationship with Mrs. Wang.
As soon as Wang Ruofu saw Hua Lan and Zhou Chen, his face was full of smile and he stood up directly.
"Hua'er."
"Mother."
Wang Ruofu grabbed his daughter's hand and smiled happily: "Okay, okay."
"Sanlang, my Hua'er didn't cause you any trouble, right?"
Because the old lady at home had a relationship with Zhou Chen and was now her daughter-in-law, she called Zhou Chen Sanlang very affectionately.
Zhou Chen saluted respectfully: "Hello Madam, Hualan is sensible, gentle, virtuous, straightforward and lovely. Our family, both father and mother, like her very much."
Wang Ruofu felt brighter on his face and smiled brighter.
"That's good, that's good. This child has known etiquette and kindness since he was a child. Now that he is entrusted to you, Saburo, I, as a mother, can feel at ease."
"By the way, Saburo, you haven't met my natal sister yet, right?"
Wang Ruofu pointed to his wife who was sitting upright next to him, and introduced to Zhou Chen: "Sanlang, this is my sister from my natal family, your name is Aunt Kang."
Hua Lan's face stiffened slightly, but she recovered in an instant, and said to Zhou Chen with a smile: "Officer, this is Aunt Kang that I mentioned to you."
Zhou Chen saluted and said, "Auntie, safe and sound."
He took a look at Aunt Kang. He had long admired the name of this shameless and vicious Aunt Kang in the plot. He didn't expect to see her the first time he came home.
Aunt Kang did not put on any airs of elders, and said with a smile: "Well, okay, the third young master of Marquis Zhongjing's Mansion, even the female family members of my backyard, have heard about it for a long time. Sister, you may not know that you,
My eldest brother-in-law is deeply loved by the officials, and he even gave you a royal sword as a reward back then. Everyone in Tokyo knows this."
When Wang Ruofu heard this, his face was full of gossip.
"Is there still such a thing? The official rewarded Saburo with a sword. It was really a great honor."
Zhou Chen was a little surprised as to why Aunt Kang was praising him, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem so strange.
Aunt Kang is a refined egotist. She goes everywhere because she wants to do something for herself and her son.
Nowadays, he can be regarded as a popular figure in front of the official family, a new noble in the court, and a direct nephew and son-in-law. He is completely different from Minglan in the plot, so smart people like Aunt Kang will naturally not treat Minglan and Gu Tingye the same way.
he.
"My aunt is ridiculous. What happened back then was the fault of the younger generation. It's lucky that the officials didn't blame me."
Aunt Kang suddenly told Hua Lan: "Hua Lan, in the future in the Hou Mansion, you must honor your parents and respect your husband."
"Thank you, aunt, for your teaching."
Wang Ruofu was a little depressed, this is my daughter, shouldn't I, a mother, be the one to say this? Sister, what are you doing?
But she was kind-hearted, and even though she was dissatisfied, she didn't show it, she was still smiling happily.
"Sanlang, Hua'er, you go and eat some fruits and snacks first. When the officials go to office, we will have dinner together as a family."
"Yes, mother."
As soon as Zhou Chen and Hua Lan went out, Ru Lan, who had a straightforward personality, ran over.
"Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law..."
Inside the house, Wang Ruofu smiled and talked to Aunt Kang with a proud face.
"Sister, I only thought that my uncle was a good fighter, but I didn't expect him to be so valued by the government."
Aunt Kang was extremely unbalanced. He felt that his sister was so stupid that she was married to the Marquis of Zhongjing. Moreover, she was almost the same as Zhou Chen, a legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhongjing who had a bright future.
Especially when she saw the stupid sister's proud look, she felt even more disgusted. She felt that Wang Ruofu did it on purpose.
Originally, her parents were planning to marry her to Sheng Hong, but she disliked Sheng Hong's decision to serve as an official in a harsh and cold place, so she was unwilling and insisted on getting married to the Kang family.
Her parents loved her so much that they allowed her to marry into the Kang family, and her younger sister Wang Ruofu to marry into the Sheng family. As a result, the Kang family has become increasingly declining, and the officials are helpless and can only keep concubines in one room.
He never made any achievements in his official career.
On the contrary, Sheng Hong has climbed all the way from a bitter cold land and has now been transferred to Tokyo.
Now he is married to the famous Zhongjinghou Mansion, and has got a son-in-law, the second son of the Zhongjing Mansion. Moreover, this son-in-law is also a promising man. He has reached the fourth grade at a young age, and now he is a Tokyo
The chief of the San Yamen, the real powerful figure, the holy family member Zhenglong.
"Hua Lan married into the Hou Mansion, and my sister also took advantage of it. By the way, sister, is the housekeeper still in the house now?"
Wang Ruofu's smile stopped suddenly and his face became stiff, feeling that his sister was too ignorant.
