Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 228 Return to Beijing
In the past few years, Mrs. Hou has basically had no involvement in matters. The prince's wife, Mrs. Xiao, is in charge of the middle office. Tang Bingxuan is happy to live her own small life under the control of her eldest sister-in-law, and avoids her second sister-in-law, Mrs. Mei, if she can.

Some people just talked about it without thinking about it. Tang Bingxuan just suddenly thought of her second sister-in-law Mei's family who was living abroad, so she heard the concierge come to report that the second young lady had returned home with the eldest lady and the third young master.

Jiang Shuyao's term of office has not expired and he cannot return to Beijing without recall. His second sister-in-law, Mei, may be coming back now for the marriage of his daughter Jiang Yuan.

Tang Bingxuan didn't think much about anything else. She packed herself up and went to the main courtyard to meet each other. At the same time, she ordered the maid to invite the fourth young master and the second young lady to the main courtyard of Madam Hou to greet the second uncle, mother and son.

When Tang Bingxuan arrived at the main courtyard, the room was full of joy and laughter. Even though Mrs. Hou did not want to see her second daughter-in-law, Mei, she loved her grandson and granddaughter very much.

Erfang and his family had been away from Beijing for two years, and Mrs. Hou Qiao missed her very much. As she got older, she liked having her children and grandchildren by her side.

Kangkang and An An happened to cross the courtyard gate when Tang Bingxuan was about to enter the house. The mother and son met in silence and entered the hall together.

I saw a slim girl standing next to Mrs. Hou. Her skin was white and creamy, delicate and charming, and her eyes were bright and bright, exuding a sense of vitality.

After Tang Bingxuan saluted Mrs. Hou and her two sisters-in-law, she took the initiative to greet Mrs. Mei, "My second sister-in-law has worked hard all the way. Did it go smoothly when you came?"

After spending two years away from home with her husband, Mrs. Mei is obviously in better spirits than before. She exudes the comfort of being the master of the family, and is less petty than when she was in the Marquis Mansion. "Third brother and sister, the three of us are not in a hurry. When we are tired, we can find a rest station to rest. The journey will be fine." Mrs. Mei replied with a friendly look on her face.

Jiang Yuan, who was sitting next to Mrs. Hou, smiled and saluted Tang Bingxuan, "Third Aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still the same as you were two years ago."

Although Jiang Yuan was taught by the Mei family since she was a child, the ladies of the Hou family hired famous teachers to teach her. Jiang Yuan was more thoughtful than her mother, the Mei family, but her speech and behavior were completely different from her.

I still remember that when Tang Bingxuan first got married, her second sister-in-law, Mrs. Mei, often used the pretext that her daughter Jiang Yuan liked her to get close to her. In a blink of an eye, she was still a sweet-tongued baby, and now she is a pretty girl.

"Yuan'er still talks sweetly, and Third Aunt likes to hear it."

Tang Bingxuan praised Jiang Yuan, then looked at her mother-in-law Qiao with a smile, "Mom, our Yuan'er's appearance is getting more and more outstanding. At first glance, she looks just like you. If I hadn't seen her in the house, she would have been walking in the house. My daughter-in-law may think you have returned to your youth on the street.”

Jiang Yuan actually looks more like her father Jiang Shuyao, and Jiang Shuyao is very similar to Mrs. Hou Qiao. Before, it was hard to tell if she didn't have a long hair. Now Jiang Yuan does look exactly like Mrs. Hou at first glance. She has the charm of a half-old lady. There is still a young, lively and beautiful young man.

Mrs. Shizi also followed Tang Bingxuan to tease her mother-in-law Qiao, "The third younger brother and sister are still very discerning. Just now, I only thought Yuan'er was pretty and pretty. Now sitting together with my mother, she really looks like twin sisters."

Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Qiao, was used to taking care of herself. Now she was in her early fifties and looked like she was in her thirties. Mrs. Xiao, the crown prince's wife, was very exaggerated, but she pleased half of the people in the room with her words.

"The third child is a bully. I didn't expect you to follow suit. It seems that I, as a mother-in-law, have failed too much and lack dignity."

Mrs. Hou felt happy after hearing what her two daughters-in-law said, but she still disagreed. She smiled and pointed at the eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao, with a look of helplessness. When Mrs. Mei saw her two sisters-in-law speaking in front of her mother-in-law, she didn't dare to let go of the beautiful and lovable words she said, "My mother usually treats us so affectionately. Just imagine how could a well-known family in Kyoto have our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law harmonious and filial to their children and grandchildren."

What Mei said was more exaggerated than Xiao's, but it really pleased her mother-in-law Qiao, because Mrs. Hou Qiao always thought that her mother-in-law was kind and generous to her daughters-in-law.

"Oh, I'm old. I can't talk to you three. I can only put a good banquet on the table to stop your clever words."

Mrs. Hou looked around at the daughters-in-law in the room with a smile on her face, and ordered people to prepare a banquet. She held Jiang Yuan in one hand and held the hands of her third grandson Jiang Zeang with the other to greet them.

Ever since Kangkang and An'an were born, they are the most beloved grandchildren of Madam Hou Qiao in the Yongning Hou Mansion. Now that Jiang Yuan and Jiang Zeang have returned from Beijing for two years, Madam Hou must get closer to them.

Fortunately, Kangkang and An An are not stingy children, and they are about to be eleven years old and are considered young adults. They will not take it to heart if they are ignored by their grandmother for a while.

Mrs. Mei couldn't help but feel secretly happy when she saw her children being held in her mother-in-law's arms and greeting her, and then at the twins sitting next to Tang Bingxuan.

Others see their second wife living away from the capital. As the saying goes, the fragrance is far away and the smell is close. No, the mother-in-law cares so little about her children that she even forgot about the twins who were most favored in the past.

Mrs. Shizi and Tang Bingxuan watched their mother-in-law's behavior with their eyes and noses, and they didn't care about the pride in Mei's eyes.

The second young masters Jiang Zeping and Kang Kang, as well as An An and Mei's mother and son, sat obediently next to their mothers and chatted quietly after the ceremony. The three of them were similar in age and were apprenticed to the martial arts master Chen Ke together. They always had the best relationship.

An An and his two brothers murmured for a while, then approached the prince's wife, Mrs. Xiao, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, grandma is going to hold a banquet to celebrate the return of the second aunt and the others. Will eldest brother come back?"

Jiang Zepei, the eldest grandson of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, has grown into a handsome young man of seventeen years old. He has been training with Tang Wenzhu, the fourth young master of the Rongguo Mansion, like ordinary sergeants in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing since he was thirteen. Now he and Tang Wenzhu are preparing for this year He has not returned home for many days since he took the martial arts examination.

Jiang Zepei is the eldest son of Jiang Shuheng, the eldest son of Yongning Marquis Mansion, and the burden on his shoulders is heavier than that of the youngest son Tang Wenzhu. Both Yongning Marquis and Jiang Shuheng have high hopes for him, and they naturally hope that Jiang Zepei can win the martial arts examination in one fell swoop.

The eldest son's wife, Mrs. Xiao, who also came from a general family, was very pleased with her eldest son's hard work. As long as the eldest son was in the house, he would be constantly taking various supplements, and she was afraid that Jiang Zepei's sword and eyes would be injured and lose his body.

The prince's wife, Xiao, only has two sons but no daughter. She has always loved An An as her daughter. She touched An An's little head lovingly and said with a warm smile: "After receiving the news that your second aunt and others returned to Beijing, your eldest brother made arrangements in advance. As for the schedule, my aunt has just sent someone to notify him, and he will probably be back before dinner. "

Like Tang Bingxuan, Mrs. Xiao also felt that Mrs. Mei brought her children back to Beijing because of Jiang Yuan's marriage. She suddenly thought that her eldest son, Jiang Zepei, who was also seventeen years old, should be engaged. She had previously thought that her eldest son, Jiang Zepei, would take the martial arts exam and put such an important thing aside. forget.

Of course, she just inquired in advance, and she still had to wait until her eldest son passed the martial arts exam before seeing him. After all, those who passed the martial arts exam had high-level official positions.
