Chapter 195 Loving grandmother, true or false?

Luo Jinxiu just turned 40 this year, but she is middle-aged.However, no matter in terms of appearance, clothing, or temperament, she seems to be a generation older than Mrs. Xu, An Linghou's wife.

Although Mrs. Xu is the stepmother, she is indeed a few years younger than Luo Jinxiu, but that's only a difference of three or four years. It shouldn't be like this at all. The two of them stood together like mother and daughter .

Both of them were married as stepmothers and entered the family as stepmothers. Compared with Xu, the daughter of a petty official, Luo Jinxiu, the daughter of Luo Huizhou, who used to be the head of the Marquis of Anling, had even more status. higher.

Although she married into the palace of the prince, as the daughter of the real power marquis, even if she marries a prince as the first wife, she can belong to the right family.As for Luo Xiujin, a 16-year-old girl, there is nothing wrong with her anywhere, her reputation is quite good, and her status is high enough.Marrying an 'old' prince who is over 40 years old and has children older than her as a second wife-not to mention low marriage, it is indeed a bit of a loss.

It stands to reason that old couples and young wives have pretty good status as wives. Old Prince Jian and Luo Xiujin should be very affectionate. At the very least, as an 'elder', Old Prince Jian should be more tolerant towards Luo Jinxiu.It's just a pity that maybe Old Prince Jian has a different personality, and maybe Luo Jinxiu is dissatisfied. In short, her life is really different from Xu's!
Is a woman having a good life, is she lucky?You don't need to look around, just look at the face and you can tell.Even though the Anlinghou's Mansion has been down and down recently, Luo Jinwen is still upset, but the Xu family, who is nearly forty years old, is still radiant and radiant, looking like a 27-year-old, eight-year-old. In the prime of life.But Luo Jinxiu, who was obviously only three years older than her, was almost comparable to Mrs. Luo.

His face was wrinkled, his eyes were full of fatigue, his back was slightly bent, and even his head had a lot of white hair.

Even if she is rich and rich and full of jewels and emeralds, but if you look at her from the outside - she is still very old!
It made Mrs. Luo very sad. No matter whether Luo Jinxiu got married or not, she "went away without a trace" and did not return to her mother's house for more than ten years, but after all, that was her biological daughter. She was pregnant in October and came from her intestines crawled out.Seeing her like this now, how could Mrs. Luo not feel sorry for her?
When Luo Jinxiu got married, Mrs. Bai was still alive, and Mrs. Bai personally organized the wedding.Later, Mrs. Bai 'died of illness', when Mrs. Xu came in, Mrs. Luo once thought that the situation of her biological daughter was similar to Mrs. Xu's. She is tolerant and only thinks about accumulating blessings for her daughter.

However, it never occurred to me that after so many years, Xu, a small official from other provinces, came out of his family. Except for his appearance, he was a 'small family', and he was a loving husband and wife with both children.But her eldest daughter, who is honorable and praised by others, has become like this.

As the old saying goes: Life is made by people! !
——Status and status are only related to the level of marriage.As for the life after marriage, relying on oneself, the rest of the outside world is really useless!
However, such a bright, world-like gap can't help but make people feel emotional.

"Chen'er, you don't recognize me!" Luo Jinxiu smiled all over her face, not caring at all about Luo Chuchen's impolite gesture of avoiding her sideways, she still took the initiative to explain very kindly, "I am your father's sister , your eldest aunt, do you know?"

Speaking of which, although she hasn't returned to Anling Marquis Mansion since she got married, her name is still on the ancestral genealogy.What's more, she is the legitimate daughter of Luo Huizhou and Mrs. Luo, Luo Jinzhang's biological sister, and not another concubine. Even if Luo Jinzhang is useless and unreliable, she probably won't refuse Daughter introduce her!

It should be - no way! !
Luo Jinxiu looked at Luo Chuchen softly, "Since I got married, I seldom go back to my mother's house, so it's not surprising that you don't recognize me, but this time we finally met, this relative can be regarded as an acquaintance!"

"Are you... Aunt Xiu?" Luo Chuchen raised his eyebrows, and after careful consideration in his mind, he finally confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

Speaking of which, there are fewer girls in the generation of the Marquis of Anling than in Luo Chuchen's generation.In Luo Chuchen's generation, counting all the concubines, there are now a total of six. In the previous generation, because of the love between Luo Huizhou and Mrs. Luo, there were no concubines and concubines under his knees, so there were only two daughters from the concubine.

——The eldest daughter Luo Jinxiu and the second daughter Luo Jinman.

Luo Jinman married the illegitimate son of the former Chief Assistant, and now he is a widow at a distant border. He hates the Luo family so much that his teeth are itchy.As for Luo Jinxiu, like her younger sister, she really wanted to sever ties with her natal family, but since Prince Jian's mansion was located in the capital, there was no 'home' to return to. Under such circumstances, it is even more impossible to move out of Prince Jane's mansion alone.

The stepson is not filial, and it is uncomfortable to live in!It is said that as the son of the first spouse, facing a stepmother who is younger than him... Few of the sons of men will feel comfortable in their hearts. Luo Jinxiu is uncomfortable living in Prince Jane's mansion. Mother's 'grandfather' too! !
It's not a mother and child, getting along is troublesome.In particular, Luo Jinxiu's temper, to be honest, is really not very good.She is very arrogant like a noble daughter, otherwise, she would not be so awkward with her husband who is so much older than her, without even leaving a child.

She has that temper herself, and she was unwilling to marry again. In the few years when she first entered Prince Jane's mansion... Luo Jinxiu also worked hard for a while.

However, now that Prince Jane has passed away, and Luo Jinxiu is getting older, naturally she will not be as violent as when she was young, and will not leave any way for herself.But how should I put it...

Making a bad impression - it's easy, it's just a matter of life.But if you want to erase the bad impression that has been engraved in someone's mind...it's really difficult.

Ben is a stepmother who is younger than herself and whose status is not necessarily higher than her.After entering the door, he was still 'like that', he had a big quarrel with his father for three days, and a small quarrel for five days, even if he restrained himself a little later, he was still respectful to each other, not showing any affection.The original Prince Jane's son - the current Prince Jane, how much affection does the stepmother Luo Jinxiu have?

It would be nice to be served with delicious food and drink, and let him enjoy the life of his 'ancestor' in wealth and splendor!Still have to be respectful, kind and friendly, follow the law and do whatever you want?Please, Prince Jian is not Luo Jinxiu's own son, he can only satisfy material life, spiritually, let's solve it by ourselves! !

It can be said that Luo Jinxiu is in Prince Jane's mansion, just looking at the faces of her stepson and stepson-in-law, living a life of eating and dying! !But is she willing to live like this?Please, with an IQ like Xu's, does she still want to be the head of the Marquis of Anling?As a noble girl from the dignified residence, how could Luo Jinxiu be willing to fall into such a situation! !

Even the nephews and nieces who occasionally come to the house of the stepson and daughter-in-law dare to laugh and scold unscrupulously in her yard, and even attack her maids. This can almost be said to be a life without dignity?Luo Jinxiu was also extremely aggrieved.

Otherwise, how could she be so old and look like that when she clearly had no worries about food and clothing and lived in wealth and glory.

"Yes, yes, yes, Chen'er, I am your Aunt Xiu, hurry up, let Auntie see you." Luo Jinxiu smiled, reaching out to hold Luo Chuchen's arm, this time, confirming her identity Identity, Luo Chuchen didn't even hide, just let her hug her, looked up and down carefully, she praised repeatedly, "I've heard your father say that your character and appearance, Among the girls of this generation in our mansion, they are the top ones, no one can compare with them. Seeing you today, you are really extraordinary."

"As far as I am concerned, over the years, whether it is from the clan's family or the noble mansion, I have met countless girls, but I dare to say that even if we can count on the capital, we can speak well. This is the first one." Holding Luo Chuchen's arm, Luo Jinxiu walked into the main hall, praising her without saying a word.

"Aunt Xiu is such a compliment, I am ashamed to be a niece!" Hearing that this "Aunt Xiu" who had never seen her before, praised her in such an almost unscrupulous way, Luo Chuchen really felt hairy Almost up.

Of course she knew that she was good-looking. In the capital, except for Xu, there were almost no one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.But the facts belong to the facts, but words can't say that! !
Even her own mother, Wan Lanchun, never praised her so exaggeratedly...Luo Jinxiu was like this, which really made Luo Chuchen a little helpless.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I never speak big words. If you say hello, you are really nice!" Luo Jinxiu saw that Luo Chuchen was a little uncomfortable, so she only said one sentence before changing the subject. "Hurry up, come in quickly, the old lady mentioned you just now!"

"I just said I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much. If I know you're back, I might be so happy!" Luo Jinxiu smiled, her face full of flattery.

……

Talking and laughing with Luo Jinxiu all the way, Luo Chuchen quickly entered the lobby of Chunhui Courtyard, looked up and saw it, and naturally sat in the first place——her old grandmother Mrs. See you, Chen." She bowed her knees and bowed gracefully.

Just now, when seeing Xu Shi and Pei Shi, Luo Chuchen put on the airs of the regent princess and talked about 'national ceremony' with them.But facing Mrs. Luo, although she couldn't really respect her 'grandmother', Mu Ru's father, she was still willing to obey the family etiquette and behave like a junior.

After all, no matter what happened in the previous life, in this life, this old grandmother has indeed given her a lot of protection.

"Chen'er, grandma's grandson, get up quickly, don't be so polite!" Mrs. Luo, who had been informed of Luo Chuchen's return early, was full of surprise.Just now Luo Jinxiu went out to meet Luo Chuchen, but she started talking. When she didn't enter the door for a long time, Mrs. Luo stood up anxiously, wanting to go out by herself.

In fact, if there were still Princess Shuhui and Luo Chufen in her room, it would be difficult to leave the princess alone, and Mrs. Luo might have already rushed out.

Holding the hand of the granddaughter who loves her most, she said with a slight complaint: "Chen'er, tell me about you, how long has it been since you didn't come to see me, so many things happened in the capital a while ago, why I can’t go out again, but I’m so worried!”

"Grandmother, I also want to come and see you. But our lord has been really busy recently, and there are so many things in the house, it's too late." Luo Chuchen helped Mrs. Luo to sit down, and replied with a smile.

"That's right, your status is different now, so naturally there are many things." Mrs. Luo seems to have finally recalled that her granddaughter has become the princess regent. The old lady Luo smiled, her tone was full of pride, and there was some "experience" of the elders , Seriously said to Luo Chuchen: "Chen'er, you have to remember that your current status is all obtained by the Prince Regent."

"The things he does outside are all big things. You must be considerate of him. As for those who give gifts to you because you see that you have different identities, you have to check with the regent prince before you It’s good to get a gift in return.”

"Don't dare to just accept valuable things from others, and promise something for the lord!" I remember in my heart that this granddaughter was born in the market, and was raised by a trickster, and she got married within a short time in the Marquis of Anling Yes, Mrs. Luo is afraid that her eyesight will be shallow, but the boss told her that Chen'er's status is not as good as usual, so she has to be careful.

Moreover, Xu Shi didn't grow up in the Marquis of Anling since she was a child, so Chen'er didn't have a deep affection for the Luo family.Like the boss - obviously her uncle, the closest relationship!But Chen'er, when the boss was down and down, he just refused to help.

The boss is such a capable person, he joined the cabinet in his early forties, even Huizhou didn't make it!Although it was wiped off later, it has nothing to do with the boss, it was all the fault of that little girl Chu Wei, who made the boss involved! !
Originally, Prince Rong's mansion was in an embarrassing situation, Shen Cangyu was just a newcomer, and it was okay for Chen'er not to help the boss.After all, she herself has just married in, so she may not be able to stand firm, and Rong Wangfu may not be able to help the boss.But now... Shen Cangyu is the regent, and she holds the power in the court and helps her daughter-in-law's family. What's wrong with that?
The boss is so capable, if he returns to the court and enters the cabinet, he can also help Shen Cangyu and Chen'er! !

Speaking of which, since Emperor Yuanhe ascended the throne and Shen Cangyu was bestowed the position of regent by the emperor, Mrs. Luo has always wanted to talk to Luo Chuchen, but she was stopped by Luo Jinwen's desperate persuasion.

His family knows his own family, and he wears the hat of the abandoned princeling firmly, and the mansion is related to the abandoned prince and the Pei family by marriage. This thread cannot be torn off even if it is torn! !Luo Jinwen was almost desperate! !
Ordinarily, people like the Anlinghou's Mansion who had such a solid relationship with the abolished prince basically copied and scattered.Not to mention official positions and titles, it is lucky to be able to save the lives of the whole family.As for the Marquis of Anling, the whole family was safe, and while no one was disturbing them, they still kept their titles. Luo Jinwen knew in his heart that this was all due to the marriage between the mansion and the regent.

From the very beginning, Luo Jinwen knew that Luo Chuchen didn't have much affection for the Marquis of Anling, which he could understand, after all, such a father, such a aunt... To be honest, it's really hard Let the children have the meaning of respect and love!

If there is no emotion, there is no emotion. Luo Jinwen, who has real power, doesn't care about a mere down-and-out prince's mansion, but later, the Anlinghou's mansion was defeated, beheaded for three generations, and he was kicked out of the cabinet! !Luo Jinwen began to think of ways to return to the top, and Luo Chuchen was also harassed by him a lot, but he didn't want Shen Cangyu to be upset and dealt with it by himself!

Originally, Luo Jinwen was quite angry at Luo Chuchen's "ignorance of flattery", but later, the abolished prince rebelled, and the situation changed suddenly. ...It really scared Luo Jinwen to the core.On the surface, he, who has already been promoted to a real job, seems to be a little far away from the abolished princelings, but in fact, his secret connection with Xu Shangshu... No one else tells it, but he knows it in his heart! !
Looking at Pei's family, Xu's family... Countless waste princelings like him were either wiped out or ransacked their homes! !The hairs all over Luo Jinwen's body were on the verge of standing on end, and he always felt that Shen Cangyu already knew something... Every time he looked at him, there was such a strange look in his eyes! !
In this case, after learning that the old lady was going to visit the door in person, she begged Luo Chuchen to say something nice and let Shen Cangyu resume his official position! !How could Luo Jinwen not be afraid?
People had a bad impression of him!He was so tough some time ago! !Now that someone has caught the handle, it's too late to hide!How dare you bite the bullet and bump upwards?Sensing his old lady's intentions, Luo Jinwen really tried to persuade him to stop him, saying all kinds of good things and all kinds of reasons, which can be regarded as dispelling old lady Luo's mind.

However, although Mrs. Luo didn't take the initiative to come to the door to 'ask for an official' for her son for the time being, but seeing Luo Chuchen coming to the door in person, with a smiling face and a talkative look, her mind began to float again, "But, Chen'er , What grandma just said is for outsiders."

"The two are fortunate to be husband and wife. It is the fate of the previous life. Different bodies and one heart should be divided. It's a pity that this world is still a bit harsh for us girls!"

"Women, you should always be a little cautious. The mother's family is strong, and the woman can have confidence in her husband's family!" Mrs. Luo said meaningfully.

The boss once said that in the Marquis of Anling, Chen'er was normal to others, but she still had family affection for her.So, just let her be a loving grandmother, don't care about anything else, don't interfere in anything, just treat Chen'er wholeheartedly, care for her, and deepen her feelings for the Anling Hou Mansion.

Originally, Mrs. Luo also agreed well, but when she saw Luo Chuchen, who was dressed in a different manner than before, she thought of the boss whose hair had turned gray due to losing power, and felt a little sad in her heart. That's why I couldn't help but want to help out.

"Grandmother, you said this..." Luo Chuchen raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile.Just now, Mrs. Luo is like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, giving her newly married granddaughter marriage experience, which really made her feel a little bit emotional, but the meaning of the last few words obviously made her touch disappear in an instant! !

In other words, grandma, if you don’t know how to persuade others, don’t persuade them. You, who immediately follow up on the persuasion of benefits before the touch is over, can easily make people become angry from embarrassment!

"Chen'er, listen to me..." Mrs. Luo didn't feel Luo Chuchen's playful smile, she just felt good about herself, thinking she didn't hear it, just about to explain, Xu and Pei panicked outside rushed in.

Hearing Mrs. Luo's words of persuading Luo Chuchen to care about her mother's family, sweat came out on Xu's forehead. She didn't care about etiquette, so she interrupted Mrs. Luo, "Mother, look, my daughter-in-law knows, Chen You are happy that my son is back, but we can't wait too long for the distinguished guests, can we?"

"His Royal Highness is sitting there, why didn't you introduce Chen'er to her? In truth, they are still relatives!" Xu smiled stiffly, only what her husband said in her mind, absolutely Don't let Mrs. Luo speak wantonly to offend Luo Chuchen! !

Seeing that something was wrong with Luo Chuchen's expression, she was quick to wit, ignoring Mrs. Pei's mocking face, and almost snatched Luo Chuchen out of Mrs. Luo's hand, stepped forward a few steps, and walked over to the seat where she was sitting. In front of Princess Shuhui, who was on the lower left of Mrs. Luo, said: "Look, Chen'er, this is your sister Fen'er's mother-in-law, your aunt—His Royal Highness Princess Shuhui!"
