From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 459

Seeing her tearful eyes was very sad, Mei Xin felt a little uncomfortable.The old Mrs. Lu Guogong is also 70 years old, with gorgeous hair and wrinkled face. Most of the old ladies like her are enjoying life at home and enjoying their grandchildren. It is estimated that she is the only one who worries about grandchildren and grandchildren. There is no second person.

I was happy for Eldest Brother, unlike her who had no one to worry about, Mei Xin took out the clean silk handkerchief that she carried with her and handed it to her, comforting her and said, "Grandmother, don't cry, Elder Brother is in Liangzhou but has been concerned about your old man's body all these years, You are sick again right now, but you must not cry. I don’t know if the eldest aunt told you, but the emperor has issued an order to call the eldest brother back to Beijing for the New Year, and it is estimated that he should leave by the end of this month."

The Chinese New Year will be next month, and it will take ten days and a half months to travel from Liangzhou at a fast pace.Therefore, at the latest by the end of this month, he will definitely leave for Beijing.

Mrs. Xu told her about such a big thing when she got home, and she was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice and even slept soundly.The old Lu Guogong's wife took the veil and wiped away her tears, and said happily, "I've said it, I've said it, I've heard your aunt say it. Your grandfather and uncles are very happy and look forward to his return." Well. Xin’er, today I invited some old sisters and acquaintances from the family, and they will bring their children over, so you can take a good look and pick and choose.”

"Your elder brother is not young, and the girls around his age are basically all married, and their children are several years old. So, the girls who will come in a while may be younger than you."

Men are different from women, especially the daughters of wealthy families in the capital, who are engaged as soon as they are young, and start seeing each other when they are twelve or thirteen years old.Therefore, there are very few unmarried girls like Mei Xin in the capital, almost one of them can be counted on one's fingers.

Mei Xin would definitely be surprised in her previous life, but after staying in the capital for a few years in Prince Ping's Mansion, she knew it all.Knowing that Jingzhong's daughter got married early, she nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely not bully my sister-in-law."

The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. She will definitely respect and respect her.Of course, the premise is that she deserves my respect, otherwise don't blame her for being rude.The Mei family is her home, a place she must protect in this life, and she does not allow anyone to destroy it, nor does she allow anyone to destroy it.

Seeing that Mei Xin was not restrained at all, and that she spoke and acted in a graceful manner, Mrs. Lu patted her hand with great satisfaction and joy and said: "Your child's generosity is like your father's. Your elder brother chooses a girl with good character, good family background, and good looks."

There is already a candidate in her heart, but it is inconvenient for her to say more now that the person has not come.

Mrs. Lu was born in a famous family, and she was famous in Beijing for being smart and capable when she was young.Therefore, Mei Xin is not worried about her eyesight, but will the emperor agree to a girl from a good family background?
The flowers are clustered and the fire is cooking oil, and the Mei family has now reached its peak.Prosperity is bound to decline, this is the eternal truth, the emperor will never allow the Mei family's son to marry an important official in the court.

With a little smile, Mei Xin said lightly, "When I was in Liangzhou, my father once asked my eldest brother what kind of girl he wanted to marry. My eldest brother said that appearance and family background are secondary, and the most important thing is Good conduct. Grandmother also knows that my elder brother is open-minded and has no fools in his stomach. He thinks about everything very simply except for fighting. Therefore, we must find someone who is dignified, dignified and thoughtful. You don’t have to worry about the back house.”

Since the Mei family has guarded Liangzhou for generations, the head of each generation of the Mei family must stay in Liangzhou and lead troops to fight to protect the people of Liangzhou. The emperor does not allow family members to accompany them.To put it bluntly, she is actually a hostage. Therefore, the head of the Mei family is very, very important.

Not only did she have to endure loneliness all year round, she also had to bear the burden of raising children, she also had to go out to socialize, and she also had to worry about her husband day and night.Once her husband is killed, she will remain a widow and watch her children grow up.Although the ancestors of the Mei family did not say that widows are not allowed to remarry, none of the daughters-in-law of the Mei family had remarried for hundreds of years.

As a person who has lived to this age, Mrs. Lu thought of it long ago, and the old man also gave him half a night's advice the night before, which can be said to be thoughtful.

Nodding her head to show that she agrees with what she said, Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Yes, that's the reason, your elder brother has to marry someone who is thoughtful, knowledgeable and reasonable, otherwise how will you care for your husband and raise your children in the future. Xin'er, what is your plan? I heard that Shangguan's family went to the house to make trouble, are you okay?"

Fortunately, Mei Jinze is sensible and close to the two uncles, and listens to them, and the cousins ​​often correspond with each other, otherwise she would really worry about him after a hundred years.

Good things don't go out and evil things travel thousands of miles. Mei Xin didn't expect her to know so soon, she shook her head lightly and said, "It's okay, they can't hurt me. Grandma..."

Before finishing speaking, a maidservant came in and saluted, "Report to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai of Boyu's family in Luyang, please see me!"

Mrs. Lu was overjoyed when she heard the sound, and she said excitedly, "Sister Yu is here? Quick, please come in!"

After finishing speaking, she stood up, grabbed Mei Xin's hand and said again: "Sister Xiuyan is my boudoir close friend, I haven't seen her for many years. She has a granddaughter waiting in her boudoir. I heard that she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy." Proficient, she is well-known as a talented woman in Luyang, take a good look at it later."

Mei Xin of the Yu family has heard of it, but she has never dealt with it, and she doesn't know anything about their family.

Smiling and nodding, Mei Xin supported her to go up to her, only to see an old lady with the same gray hair and kind face came in surrounded by everyone.

The affection between the sisters has not diminished for many years, on the contrary, the two are very excited, and they burst into tears without saying a word.

When people are old, they are afraid of emotional instability, especially when they are overjoyed and sad.Therefore, Mrs. Zhao and Mei Xin supported Mrs. Lu and advised them to sit down before talking.

Not long after she came to Beijing from her hometown in Luyang, Mrs. Yu did not recognize Mei Xin.Seeing that she was born beautiful, with a heroic spirit between her brows, she opened her mouth and asked, "Looking at her face, I don't know who she is?"

Looking along her hand, Mrs. Lu sat down and said with a smile: "This is my granddaughter Mei Xin. My elder sister has never seen her. She just came back from Liangzhou not long ago."

As soon as the word Mei Xin came out, the two women and the two young ladies who followed Mrs. Lu were stunned, as if they didn't expect Mei Xin to look like this, they were all stunned.

Mrs. Lu was also taken aback for a moment, but she immediately recovered.After all, she was old, she stood up tremblingly and saluted Mei Xin and said: "My wife is old and dim-sighted..."
