Heir and wife

Chapter 15

Just before lunch, the Shu Changfang branch walked into a five-entry mansion at the west end of Xuanwu Street.After getting off the boat, Madam Wang, who disappeared without a trace, stood in front of the mansion with a dozen maids and servants, kneeling down to welcome the new master.

This house was originally owned by Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. Last year, Zuo Shilang retired and returned to his hometown. Before returning to his hometown, he transferred the house by the way.Luo Weitong helped his great-grandmother to cross the threshold, and saw that all the furnishings in the courtyard were the same as those of the old Huizhou house.

Without waiting for her to doubt, the great-grandmother praised with satisfaction: "Xing Zhou is a good book reader and he handles things properly. But after more than a month, he managed to tidy up the house so well."

Hearing the news of his brother at first, Luo Weitong hurriedly cheered up.Her elder brother was only two years older than her. When she was young, she would return home from Huashou Temple every ten days, often wearing his clothes as a cousin, and following him like a little tail in Huizhou city.Since his elder brother entered the Imperial Academy five years ago, he could only return home during the Chinese New Year. However, the friendship between brother and sister has not diminished in the slightest through letters.

She had clearly informed her brother about coming to Jinling in a letter, but he was nowhere to be seen when she disembarked today.At first she was a little displeased, but after breaking out from Wenxiangbo's mansion, she was glad that her brother didn't come, otherwise Mrs. Baobuqi would use him as a raft in a rage.

When her thoughts came back, she only heard her mother say: "How much Xingzhou can do, it's not because of you. These years, my husband has been released, and Xingzhou went to Beijing to study at a young age, thanks to my grandmother and parents. I am a daughter-in-law. I've been hiding away, feeling as guilty as something."

The more Luo Weitong listened, the more surprised he became. Could it be that the great-grandmother was not a poor little cabbage who had been bullied by Mrs. Tai all these years, but led the concubine to live in the west courtyard of the uncle's house?

She pricked up her ears and continued to listen, only to see her great-grandmother give her a kiss and look her way: "It's not easy for your family, it's just a pity for the child."

"Great-grandmother, Jiaojiao is not pitiful at all. My parents and elder brother dote on me, and everything follows me, except for taking medicine every day."

The big eyes blinked, but the brows were slightly frowned, Luo Weitong was thinking about his own calculations.Parents respect great-grandmother very much, and great-grandmother likes her, maybe once her old man opens his mouth, the daily hurdles will be over.

Under her extremely expectant eyes, the great-grandmother said with a fondness on her face: "Jiaojiao is also afraid of taking medicine?"

"En." Luo Weitong's little head couldn't stop clicking, great-grandmother, you old man, hurry up and learn from ordinary people's old Feng Jun, who arbitrarily tends to interfere with the little granddaughter's affairs.

"It's okay. Great-grandmother is the best at making dim sum. She knows what kind of dim sum is the best to relieve bitterness. I will prepare some for you after lunch."

Luo Weitong's shoulders slumped, and his mother nodded her head full of reproach.While concentrating on grief, his hand was pulled and stuffed into a dark green bracelet.

"grandmother?"

The grandmother, who was like an invisible person after entering the yard, looked at her lovingly at this moment: "Don't be unhappy, Jiaojiao, your great-grandmother loves you too. This bracelet is from the year you were born, and she specially sent someone to find it."

Luo Weitong looked at the bracelet, the whole body was dark green without any impurities, and it was smooth to the touch and felt comfortable in the hand.This kind of jasper is hard to come by, even mother's dowry does not have such a fine jade bracelet.

I always feel that I have overlooked something, and while thinking about her, I declined: "This bracelet is too expensive, I am afraid that it will be broken accidentally. Great-grandmother just came out of the uncle's house, and our family is spending money..."

She was stunned when she said this, and she finally understood what she had overlooked.Although Xuanwu Street is not as densely populated as Zhuque Street with the residences of princes and princes, it is also close to the imperial palace and has always been a place where there are many officials' homes.Just now along the way, although the mansions along the road are exquisite, most of them are not as good as the five-entry compound under my feet.

Looking at the layout of the courtyard, although it is not as good as the carved beams and painted buildings in the Bo's Mansion, the details are exquisite.Once she entered Jinling and lived in this kind of mansion, then she easily took out the jasper bracelet to make her happy... Just now she felt that her great-grandmother was not like Xiaobaicai, but she didn't think she was so capable.

It was her turn to wonder: "Great-grandmother seems rich?"
