Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 96
The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, because Shangguan Zimo seemed much more at ease when he arrived, Wanqing kowtowed to the old matriarch, Jingninghou and Ninghua princess one by one, and the old matriarch and Jingninghou both gave the greeting ceremony, What the old lady gave was a flowery emerald cabbage. Wanqing had read the national treasure archives in her previous life and knew how valuable this thing was, so she hurriedly asked the green grass on the side to be put away.

She gave the old lady a fluffy back pullover vest. The clothes in this era are basically cardigans, and there are very few pullovers, but the old man wears a pullover, which is convenient and close-fitting. The old lady spread it out in her hand for a while. Seeing that the collar was several times longer than ordinary collars, she couldn't help being startled, and couldn't help asking Wanqing: "This..."

Wanqing smiled and stepped forward, took the vest in her hand, rolled up the collar and said, "Ancestor, this is specially woven for you by my grandson-in-law. It's cold in winter and the wind chokes your neck. It's too much to wear a scarf all the time." It's thicker, with this collar protecting you, you won't be cold."

After hearing this, the old matriarch stuffed her hands into her clothes and put her hands into the cage. It felt really soft and warm, and she couldn't help smiling: "What a sweet person, thanks to your thoughtfulness, I'm afraid it will be too late this week. I have this rare thing."

The second old lady stared at the side: "Look at this, I know you have got a good granddaughter-in-law, we are not as lucky as you."

This made everyone in the room laugh.

Wanqing offered tea to the second old lady, and the second old lady gave her a pair of jade unicorns. Although they looked good, they didn't have the atmosphere given by the old lady, so she laughed first: "I don't have the style of your ancestors." , nephew and granddaughter-in-law, don't dislike her."

After hearing this, Wanqing thanked her quickly, and gave the second old lady a pair of woolen knee pads. Wanqing did her homework when she was at her natal home. The Marquis of Jingning was hereditary. There are two sons, the eldest son is the old matriarch's husband, Lao Hou Ye, because he was very competitive when he was growing up, and when he was young, he had to take the exam on his own, and he just won all three rankings, becoming a rare candidate from a noble family Lang.

And the old matriarch is the daughter of the Hua family. The Hua family can be regarded as the first family under the emperor's feet in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The daughter of the Hua family is the most honorable marriage. The Empress Dowager is the cousin of the old Majesty, she was enshrined as a nobleman shortly after entering the palace, and later she gave birth to the current Emperor, who was promoted step by step. After the Emperor succeeded to the throne, she became the Empress Dowager.

Concubine Hua Gui is also the first daughter of the Hua family, the cousin niece of the old matriarch, and the niece of the queen mother. In the palace, she is treated like a queen.

The old lady marrying Tanhualang is considered a high family and low marriage, so she is very favored in the Jingning Hou Mansion. The second son of the old Hou Ye is lazy, careless and invisible, and he was the most reckless when he was young. I took a woman from the teaching workshop as my concubine, and spoiled me so much that I ended up spoiling my concubine and destroying my wife. If it hadn't been for the suppression of Tanhualang Hou Ye, Mrs. Hua would forcefully intervene in the second old man's family affairs, and go to the second room of the government's mansion. I'm afraid that the family will be broken up.

The second old lady is also considered a strong person. Although the family wealth shared by the old master was lost by the second old lady, she still managed to save some body, and strictly controlled her two children. In the end, the eldest son was Shangguan Yunsheng, the cousin of the Marquis of Jingning, practiced martial arts hard, and finally passed the examination of the champion of martial arts. Now he is a general under the command of King Fu, in charge of [-] soldiers in the hands of King Fu, and guards an important frontier town in the north alone.

The son took his daughter-in-law and grandson to the border, and the daughter got married. The second old lady lived alone, so the old lady simply took her over to talk with her. The second old lady has been living in the Hou Mansion.

Because the relationship between the two families is really close, and the second old lady's status in the Hou's mansion is also very respected, even Jingning Hou is very respectful to her, so Wanqing also carefully prepared the gift of returning to the second old lady.

The second old lady smiled so hard after receiving the pair of knee pads: "This thing is good, it suits my heart. Look, how does she know that I have old cold legs? Old sister-in-law, your vest is from the Zhou Dynasty." It’s a rare item, don’t I have this one?”

The old lady pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how rare it is. If I want it, I can ask Qing girl to make another pair for me." The implication is that as long as I want something from my own granddaughter-in-law, I can buy it at any time. Both.

The second old lady stared at her straight up. The two old men argued like children for Wanqing's return gift. The juniors in the room laughed when they saw it. Naturally, there was disharmony in their eyes. Seeing the pair of jealous eyes looking at her, when she looked carefully, she couldn't see it again, and smiled wryly in her heart, as expected, she should keep a low profile.

The Marquis of Jingning gave Wanqing a picture, but Wanqing didn't understand it at the time, only heard the old lady laugh and say: "Sun daughter-in-law, your father-in-law has given you the family heirloom of the Shangguan Mansion, you must remember to be a good student." Keep it, don’t lose it.”

Wanqing was startled when she heard that, and hurriedly wanted to look at the picture, but Shangguan Yeli pressed her hand and said, "It's just a piece of waste paper."

The Marquis of Jingning on the side's face darkened when he heard it, and was about to explode when the old matriarch said: "Li'er is right, this picture looks like a treasure, but it is actually a cripple, it is only half, and the other half cannot be made up." , It is indeed a piece of waste paper.”

After hearing this, Jingning Hou said: "Mother, although it is difficult to make up, there is still hope in the end, so we can't just throw it away, after all, it was passed down from father to son, and son will naturally pass it on. Since Qing girl is Mrs. Shizi, it is perfect for her to keep it."

Although I am the wife of the eldest son, Princess Ninghua is still Mrs. Hou. Jingninghou is not very old, but he is in his thirties. Princess Ninghua is even younger. It seems that he is only in his early thirties. Zhang Tu did not give it to Ning Hua but to himself. Jing Ninghou either did not trust Ning Hua, or he had lost confidence in this picture.

Out of the corner of Wanqing's eyes, she glanced at Princess Ninghua, and sure enough, she saw that she was not hesitant, but it was not a big surprise, it seemed that she knew it beforehand, and Wanqing's heart was finally settled.

No matter what, Jingning Hou is willing to pass on the heirloom of the Shangguan Mansion to Wanqing. The wife of the eldest son, the future wife of the Shangguan Mansion, if Shangguan Yeli is destined to inherit the title, Wanqing will still be the future Madam Hou.
