Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 111

Perhaps Bowen and the others had communicated with their grandmother. At night, when Xue Jinyu hosted a banquet to greet everyone, the attitude of the old lady of the Xue family was obviously much better.At the banquet, he kept persuading Fang Shi to eat more, but Fang Shi was confused, so he could only keep saying thank you.

Everyone was enjoying their meal, when suddenly a servant came to report that the old lady from the Hou's Mansion of the capital had come, and Xue Jinyu's second brother had also come.Xue Jinyu's mother and son looked at each other and found it strange that after the incident last year, although Xue Jinyu said nothing to the Hou's mansion on the surface, they stopped communicating with each other.How could the old lady of the Hou's mansion, who was also his aunt, come to this remote mansion at this time?Xue Jinyu's heart skipped a beat, remembering what Fang Xin had said to him during the Chinese New Year.I'm afraid they came to win him over and covet his property. "Mother, let's go to greet her. After all, she is also your own sister, my aunt." As he spoke, Xue Jinyu supported his mother, and led people out to greet the old lady.But Wu Shi and Fang Shi naturally led their families back to rest. The threshold of the Marquis Mansion is too high, they can't climb it, and they don't want to climb it.

"Mother, why does my aunt's house have something to do every time we come? I'm afraid I won't be able to relax this time. We can leave as soon as we stay for a few days." Yuxian asked her mother a little puzzled.

"Okay, let's go see my aunt tomorrow and see if the Cao family wants to see us. If not, let's go home." Fang also agreed to go home early.

In Xue's residence, Mrs. Xue, Xue Jinyu, and Bi Lian hurried to the door to greet the old lady with their children and servants.When we arrived at the gate, we saw several carriages parked, the leading one was the most gorgeous.Jinyu hurried to the carriage, "My lord, the child is here to pick you up. I don't know if my mother is here, but I'm late. I hope my mother will forgive me."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a beautiful maid came out first, the driver fixed the step stool, and the maid got out of the carriage first.Then an old lady came out, she looked much older than Xue Jinyu's mother, and she was dressed in a luxurious way.When Jinyu saw it, she hurried forward and helped the old lady, "Mother, slow down." At this time, a man jumped out of the car behind and came to the old lady, and Xue Jinyu and Xue Jinyu were one by one. He helped the old lady out of the car.

"Second brother, I didn't expect you to come too. Why didn't I send a letter to my brother in advance so that I can pick you up." Jinyu said to the man.

"It's not my mother, I have to say that I miss my aunt, and say that she is old, and there will be no chance if we don't see each other again. I have no choice but to accompany you. I didn't write you a letter in advance, and I didn't trouble you. Right?" This person is Xue Jinyu's second brother, Xue Anbang, who is one year older than Xue Jinyu.

At this time, Xue Jinyu's mother, Mrs. Xue also went up to welcome her, "Sister, why are you here? How old are you? How did you suffer this journey? We are old, and we have to cherish ourselves. "

"Little sister, I'm just tired of staying in Beijing, and I miss you too, so I come here to relax. What's the matter, you don't welcome me?" The old lady looked at her sister with a smile on her face.

"What about my sister, hurry up and talk about it in the mansion. My sister will live in my orchid courtyard. Our sisters haven't been able to talk to each other for many years." Mrs. Xue took her sister's hand, affectionately talking.The servants brought up the soft sedan chair, and the two sisters got into the soft sedan chair and walked to the Lan Yuan.

The layout of the Orchid Courtyard is very similar to other courtyards, only slightly larger.The two sisters lived in the east room of the upper house, and lived closer together, while Xue Anbang lived in the east room. The two also brought four maids and several guards, and they were all arranged.

"Sister, I have already prepared some meals in the kitchen. I was tired from the bumps and bumps along the way, so I should eat some cushions. When I have a rest tomorrow, I will ask Jinyu to prepare a feast for you. I have to squeeze my sister and me tonight. "The old lady Xue said.

"Okay, sister, don't be so busy, we sisters, why do we need to be so heretical? Besides, you are no worse than the Hou's mansion. It's not crowded, I can't wait to have a good time with you." The two sisters Everyone hates each other so much in their hearts, but they still pretend to be affectionate on their faces.Just like that, the night passed in vain.

Early the next morning, both Xue Jinyu and Bilian came to greet the old lady.The old lady heard that the Wu family and the Tong family were also in the Xue residence, so she said she wanted to meet her in-laws.Jinyu sent someone to tell Wu and Yunsong's family, and they led the children to Lanyuan. When they saw the old lady, Wu led them all to kneel down, "Caomin take the daughter, son-in-law, Grandson, I have seen the old lady."

"What are the in-laws doing here? We are close relatives, and we don't like this. Come and sit here. Yo, these children are quite energetic, they belong to Uncle Tong's family, right, Pearl." The old lady told them He got up, and then gave the maid beside him a wink, and the maid hurriedly took out a few purses and wanted to distribute them to the children.Dalang and the others didn't stretch out their hands, but Bilian looked at it and said quickly, "Dalang, this is a gift from the old lady, please accept it quickly." Mrs. Fang also nodded, and Dalang and the others took the purse.

"Good boy, you can see that you have a good tutor. It seems that Grandma Tong is good at teaching her children. By the way, Bilian, those boys in our family don't come to see their grandma." The old lady praised A few words from the children.

"Grandmother, we've been outside. We didn't dare to come in without your call." Bowen brought his younger brothers in, and when he reached the old lady, he knelt down and kowtowed to her, "Grandson pays respects to grandma."

"Okay, good boy, come here, grandma has a gift for you." The old lady asked someone to take out a few brocade boxes and handed them to Bowen.

"Grandson, thank grandmother for the reward." The three children said in unison.Yu Xian was stunned as she watched from the sidelines, the Xue family really knew how to act, from the old to the young, all of them had the potential to be movie kings.She clearly hates the other party, but she can still pretend to be a warm and affectionate family, which makes Yuxian's goosebumps rise.

"Mother, my son will hold a banquet for my mother and elder brother to welcome the wind. You have been tired all the way, so you should take a good rest. I still have some things to do, so I will go out first. Second brother, you should also take a good rest. When you feel better, I will take you Take a good look around this prefecture." After Xue Jinyu finished speaking, she was about to leave.

"Hey, third brother, where are you going? I'll go with you. I'm not tired at all." Xue Anbang went out with Jinyu.

"Old lady, we came to Fucheng this time to see the old aunt of the Tong family. Today we are going to Lin's mansion to meet my aunt. I'm sorry." Fang also said goodbye and led the family out.Then I found the housekeeper in the mansion and asked how to get to Lin's Mansion in Lihua Lane. The housekeeper told them that Lin's Mansion was in this alley, just across a house.Then they sent someone to lead Yun Song's family to the Lin mansion.

When they reached the gate of the Lin Mansion, the servant ran up to knock on the door.A man who looked like a porter opened the door. "Brother, please go in and report, and say that people from the Tong family in Yanjiang Village have come to visit the old lady." The concierge hurried in after hearing this.Not long after, the door of the Lin family opened, and Lin Jingyu, the second son of the Lin family, came out to greet him with his wife and servants. "Big cousin, big cousin, I didn't expect that you are here. Come on, follow me into the mansion, mother is waiting for you." As he spoke, he led the Tong family inside and passed through a few After entering the courtyard, he finally arrived at the place where Tong Shixin lived.The Lin family is not as big as Xue's house, and there are few servants. When a girl saw someone coming, she hurried over, "Second master, the old lady is already waiting in the house."

Lin Jingyu led everyone into the house, and saw Tong Shixin sitting on the kang looking forward to it, and when she saw Yun Song coming in, she was so happy that she wanted to go down to the ground.

"Auntie, sit down, don't come down, don't you spoil me, a junior?" Yun Song hurried forward and supported Tong Shixin. "How is your aunt?"

"Auntie, we're here to see you. Dalang, come see your aunt soon." Fang followed Yun Song into the house.When the children heard their mother's words, they all knelt down in front of Tong Shixin and obediently kowtowed three times. "Grandson (daughter) send my aunt's greetings, and my aunt is well."

"Okay, get up soon, my family, why use such a big gift. Good boy, let your aunt see if you have grown taller?" Tong Shixin happily called the children to her side, and looked at them one by one, "Well, You've grown taller and stronger, well, look at these five young men. Yun Song, with these five sons, you don't have to worry about anything, just wait and enjoy your blessings."

"Well, borrowing from my aunt's auspicious words." Fang also smiled. "How is my aunt? I've always wanted to come, but we are always busy with work. This is because the crops have sprouted. We can stop for a few days. We will discuss it and come to see my aunt. It's okay. Good things are brought to you, but they are mushrooms, fungus, small fish, don’t be disgusted with them, Auntie.”

"That's right, farming is like this. You can spend some time in winter all year round. You can just come and see me. What are you doing with those things? It's so far away, how tiring." Tong Shixin told her son The daughter-in-law took the things and took them out.

"Gu, isn't eldest cousin at home?" Tong Shixin's eldest son is one year older than Yun Song.

"Well, he worked as a small official in Changbai Mansion, and his family is also there. It would be nice to come back once during the Chinese New Year." Tong Shixin's expression darkened when he mentioned the eldest son. The son has not been around for many years. How can a mother I don't want to. "Yun Song, where are you staying this time? Why don't you live with your aunt?"

"Auntie, we live at Yuxian's aunt's house, so we won't bother her here. This time we brought my mother, Dalang's master, and a distant nephew of mine, all living in Bilian's place." "Fang naturally felt that her sister's home was more comfortable.

"Since this is the case, then I will not force you to stay. We will have dinner here at noon, and our family will have a good get-together. I will send someone to Cao's house in a while and ask if his family wants to see you. If you want to meet, I will I'll accompany you there, and it's time to meet your mother's family." Tong Shixin asked his daughter-in-law to order the kitchen to prepare two tables of food and drink, and then sent the housekeeper to Cao's residence.
