Human beings are bound to be worldly.
Zhou is not an only daughter. When they return home, the sisters will secretly compare who is doing well.
The Lian family's family background can be taken advantage of. Especially this year, even though he was promoted as scheduled, people rarely ask where he is.
Dealing with these words will feel somewhat tiring.
After An Hongshao returned to her parents' home, she didn't come back until she was lighting the lamp. Everyone knew about the situation in the Baron's Mansion, and no one cared about An Hongshao's time.
It's just that Ms. Li urged her several times. She is very proud and doesn't want others to pity her.
An Hongshao has been reluctant to leave. If he can accompany his mother, he should not pay attention to those false etiquette.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lian's father and the others were still at home, but Lian was about to go on an errand as scheduled.
The errands in the palace have to be taken care of every day. Some people can't go home during the New Year. They can rest for so many days in a row because they just got married as scheduled. Now that I have just taken over as commander, I have to go out early, and I guess I won't be able to come back at night. I am very busy in the first month.
However, Jing Han is willing to come over, but An Hongshao has no time to spare.
After Lian's father came to look for Lian Ruqi last time, Lian's mother immediately became angry because a concubine couldn't tell right from wrong? I went straight to my nanny and taught Lian Yanyu the rules.
Lian Qinglai's beating was in vain, but Lian Yanyu had to let the people below him waste their time.
Although Lian's father has been staying in the second aunt's room since the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lian's mother doesn't care at all. Lian's father will divorce his wife if she wants to. Otherwise, Lian's mother has the final say in this inner house, and she can deal with whoever she wants. who.
After the sixth day of the first lunar month, Lian Qinglai went to look for his master again. The school actually didn't start teaching so early, so he went to his master's home.
This kind of study requires hard work. What Lian's father meant was that he hoped that Lian Qinglai would pass the exam in just one try.
Looking at it, it's not long before the scientific examination, so we have to hurry up.
On the seventh day of the lunar month, the court was still in a state of rest, but the affairs of the court had already piled up, and everyone was busy writing down major events. On the tenth day of the lunar month, when the emperor went to court, he had to report important matters to the emperor in turn.
At Chenshi, An Hongshao was dealing with general affairs. Mrs. Zhou came from outside without bringing her children.
"Sister-in-law." An Hongshao put something in her hand and quickly stood up to say hello.
Mrs. Zhou waved her hand, "I just got the news that my aunt will be here soon, and we will stand together when the time comes."
Since the last incident, Mrs. Zhou came to look for An Hongshao when she had time, probably because she felt guilty.
Moreover, there is no need to give favors with things. She probably has some considerations in mind. What An Hongshao does cannot be done with a box of rouge.
An Hongshao quickly put down the book and followed Zhou out.
This company is on duty again as scheduled, for two days each time, and will not be back until tonight.
The second aunt of the Lian family who came here today is Lian's father's sister and is already married.
My husband is the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, ranking second in rank. This year he shouldn't have returned to Beijing to report important matters. According to the rules, he couldn't leave without authorization. An Hongshao and the others got married, saying that it was only this aunt who came here on her own.
But it was a long way back to Beijing, and it was winter when they got married, so they were half-way sick. During the New Year days, the city gates were closed and the prefectures and prefectures were closed, so I delayed coming to Beijing now.
At this moment, a messenger sent a message saying that the second aunt's grandmother had entered the city gate, and then things started to get busy at home.
Zhou was not familiar with this second aunt. The last time they met was the year she got married. The second aunt had lived at home for several months. Unlike Lian Mu, this aunt can't tolerate sand in her eyes and is very strict about rules.
Mrs. Zhou was afraid that An Hongshao wouldn't be able to cope with it, so she came specifically to look for her and asked her to stand with her so that she could take care of everything.
An Hongshao had an impression of this second aunt in her previous life. She came here at about the same time in her previous life. However, An Hongshao pretended to be ill after celebrating the New Year and did not want to deal with the relatives of the Lian family. , then one year the master came back to visit relatives. An Hongshao originally thought of showing up and leaving, but who knew that the first thing the aunt said was, "There has been no news after so many years of getting married, why should the doctor see it?"
To put it bluntly, it means that if you are sick, treat it as soon as possible, and don't delay passing on the lineage to the Lian family.
An Hongshao felt unhappy, so she tried to show off to Lian Ruqi when she got home. Later, Lian Ruqi greeted Lian's mother and asked her to stay with her second aunt, so she didn't go looking for An Hongshao.
An Hongshao lived so comfortably in her small courtyard that she didn't even know when this aunt left.
Nowadays, the relatives of the Lian family naturally have to care.
But with Zhou in front of me, I felt much more at ease.
This aunt, whose bestie is Yun, has not been back for a few years, so everyone in the family needs to be more cordial.
Lian's mother sent someone to send a message to Lian's father and the others. Lian Yun was back and wanted to have lunch together at noon.
Then, he led the female family members to wait at the door.
Seeing the carriage approaching from a distance, Lian Mulian walked down a few steps.
An Hongshao and the others naturally wanted to follow. Perhaps because of nervousness, An Hongshao felt that his body was a little stiff.
Zhou quietly pulled An Hongshao's sleeve and said, "We have the same hands and feet."
An Hongshao took a few deep breaths, mainly because Lian Yun was a powerful person, and the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.
"Don't think so much, mother and I are both here." Zhou whispered to An Hongshao.
Lian Yanyu, who was standing behind, naturally noticed An Hongshao's unnatural movements. If she had been in the past, she would have laughed at An Hongshao, but after suffering in the past two days, she would not dare to do that in front of An Hongshao. Too presumptuous.
Finally, the carriage stopped. Just as in the memory, a woman in rich clothes and a cloud shoulder stepped out of the carriage.
The fashion in Yangzhou is different from that in the capital. Before the first lunar month, they mostly wear bright colors, while Lian Yun's color is light, and even the cloud shoulders are decorated with light blue.
The pearls embroidered on the skirt are not simply noble, but also a bit more elegant.
"Greetings, auntie." The servants on the left and right immediately knelt down to say hello.
Then she was led by Mrs. Zhou, "I met my aunt. She is fine."
"Get up." Lian Yun's voice was a little louder than Lian's mother. Because she fell ill during the journey, the flesh on her face was also reduced, making her look even more serious. "Sister-in-law, long time no see. How are you doing?"
He slowly stepped forward to greet his mother-in-law.
Lian's mother quickly helped the person up, "Everything is fine, but you, why have you lost so much weight? You have suffered along the way." Lian's mother led the person in warmly, "It must have been freezing on the road. The capital is not as cold as Yangzhou. During those few days, I couldn’t get out.”
Lian's mother kept asking Lian Yun all the way, but there was nothing she could do. Fortunately, she was the sister-in-law. If the eldest sister-in-law had to treat her like a mother-in-law.
When someone comes to visit, they must be as enthusiastic as possible, especially since this sister-in-law has many things to do. Lian Mu was afraid of trouble, so she just wanted to provide for her well.
"Sister-in-law, please don't worry about me. I am also from the capital, so I know how hot and cold it is." After entering the room, Lian Yun answered with a smile, but her eyes fell on An Hongshao.
I want to visit my gay friends in a few days. When I looked at the distance, I saw that it was very far from Shandong to Guizhou. I couldn’t help but sigh. If this was done in ancient times, we would never have the chance to meet in our lifetime~~~
