Mrs. Huang? Storybook character?
Lin was surprised to hear this.
The friendship between the two families originated from the old lady. After the old lady passed away, the relationship became weaker.
But Mrs. Huang is not unfamiliar to Mrs. Lin. She is quiet and indifferent, abiding by etiquette. No matter what the occasion, she always treats herself as invisible unless necessary. Listening to her daughter's voice at this moment, Mrs. Lin felt as if she was meeting her for the first time. She had forgotten even the slightest caution and looked at Mrs. Huang in surprise.
Unexpectedly, by chance, he met Madam Huang's eyes.
Lin: "..."
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
However, she was the wife of the house after all, so there was no flaw on her face, and she quickly smiled softly at Mrs. Huang.
Seeing this, Mrs. Huang, who was originally very low-key and just sitting aside drinking tea, led her daughter over.
【Ah ah ah! Could it be that Mrs. Huang discovered my admiration for her? He actually came to me! 】
【Huh? The person next to me must be Mrs. Huang’s daughter. She looks soft and lovely, but it’s a pity...]
Amidst Su Tang's sighs, the mother and daughter walked over.
Miss Gou bowed politely to Mrs. Lin.
She was born quiet and beautiful, and behaved in a controlled manner. Mrs. Lin liked her very much. Listening to the sigh in her daughter's heart, it became clear that she was afraid that the outcome would not be good, and she felt a little more distressed.
"Good boy, stop being so polite and come to your aunt."
Mrs. Lin pulled Miss Gou to sit next to her and asked her in detail about her age and her usual hobbies.
Miss Gou answered them all.
She is extremely well-educated, her voice is as gentle as spring water striking a stone, and her words are also very organized. Just as Mrs. Lin was about to praise her, she was stopped by her daughter's scream——
【Fourteen! I remember that in the storybook, she was kidnapped by bandits on the way to Guangfu Temple to hold the incense on the day before the Hairpin Ceremony, and she died. 】
[Doesn’t that mean she only has one year to live? 】
Lin:! ! !
Lin was shocked.
The words of praise rolled around in her mouth, but she said them dryly. Lin paused for a moment, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she hurriedly asked:
"I wonder when Yami's birthday is?"
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Huang looked at her in surprise.
Mrs. Lin also knew that this question was a bit abrupt, but she quickly found a reason and said:
"Madam can teach children and raise Yamei to be well-educated and sensible. I liked it the moment I saw it. If you don't dislike it, I would be willing to be Yamei's female guest on the day she gets haircut..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Huang suddenly showed surprise.
Lin's status is noble, so she is the female guest. This is to make her daughter's face.
"It's too late to welcome you, so how can you dislike it?"
Mrs. Huang said hurriedly and told her daughter's birth date again. Her face no longer had the politeness just now, but instead showed a bit of genuine gratitude.
Lin was not surprised by this.
Mrs. Huang's fertility is not bad. She gave birth to three sons and two daughters over the years. Unfortunately, she had a hard life. Her three sons and little daughter were not able to survive, leaving only such a single seedling.
If she were in Mrs. Huang's position, she would be like a jewel.
And Su Tang's sigh also confirmed this point——
[Mrs. Huang is definitely the most loving daughter I have ever seen, except of course my mother! 】
[After Miss Gou was kidnapped, her life and death were unknown, but the Gou family had no intention of saving her because they disliked her bad reputation. The Huang family was not in the capital, so Mrs. Huang rushed to the village alone with her loyal servants, but unfortunately it was too late. By the time the officers and soldiers found them, all the bandits had been killed by Madam Huang... As soon as the news came out, it shocked the government and the public. Madam Huang became a hero among women, but she herself was heartbroken and burned Gou like crazy. In the ancestral hall of my family, I beat Yushi Gou so hard that he couldn’t get out of bed, and divorced him with a divorce note...】
Lin:! ! !
Mrs. Lin glanced at the elegant Mrs. Huang, and after the shock, she couldn't help but stand in awe.
The Huang family came from a martial arts background, so it was not surprising that Mrs. Huang would learn martial arts, but the world is like this, and not everyone can spare it. Even Mrs. Lin herself, if she really reaches that situation, may not be able to achieve Mrs. Huang's level.
not to mention--
[The Empress Dowager was grateful for her motherly heart, so she begged the emperor for mercy and approved the divorce. After Mrs. Huang experienced this, she did not feel sorry for herself. Instead, she opened a nursery and a female martial arts school... It's a pity that I was born too late...]
Infant care hall, female martial arts hall...
Judging from Miss Gou's behavior, Mrs. Huang has definitely never let her come into contact with this. She must have regretted all her actions.
Why--
Thinking about it, mother and daughter sighed inwardly at the same time.
However, Su Tang was sighing for his own powerlessness, but Lin was sighing for Huang in his previous life.
She glanced at Su Tang.
Mrs. Lin originally had no intention of letting her daughter become a lady, but Miss Gou's experience made her determined that her daughter should learn some self-defense skills.
Then Huang would be a good candidate.
As for whether she would be willing--
Mrs. Lin, who has always been afraid of trouble, has long been determined to be on good terms with Mrs. Huang, and has also made up her mind to take care of this matter! At that time, I am not afraid that Mrs. Huang will not agree.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Huang with a softer look, held her hand and said:
"Then it's settled. On April 13th next year, I will definitely come to bother my sister."
Having settled this matter, Mrs. Lin was determined to make friends again, and the relationship between the two suddenly became closer.
Mrs. Huang and her daughter also became less restrained, and teased Su Tang with their smiles.
Unfortunately, before they could chat more, the auspicious moment came.
The grandma who admitted the baby came in cheerfully and placed a statue of the Empress giving birth to a child by the side of Lin's bed.
After the worship, the servants brought three basins filled with mugwort water. Starting from Su Tang's aunt, the guests who arrived today added festive objects to the basins one by one.
What kind of gold bracelets, longevity locks...
The most important thing for these noble ladies is money, and they are very happy to make faces for the young lady of the Hou Mansion. Each item they add is more precious than the other, and the grandma is so happy that she can't even see her teeth.
Ouch!
This delivery trip was so worth it!
All these objects in the basin will soon belong to her. Today's harvest is really not small, it is really a blessing to the girl.
Because of this, when I was singing the lyrics, my grandma’s voice was extra long, adding to the festive atmosphere.
However, as today's protagonist, Su Tang is not very happy.
Huh~
This water is too cold! This bathing technique is too harsh!
The baby is unhappy! ╭(╯^╰)╮!
*
This third banquet was held smoothly and grandly, and everyone present was dissatisfied.
Only Mrs. Chen was still smiling when she was in the Hou Mansion. Once she got on the carriage, her face immediately darkened.
An's mother and daughter were sitting in the last carriage. Chen didn't intend to talk to An at this time, but just thinking about today's events made her angry.
The loser is in front of Lin!
The loss is such that people should keep an eye on it!
Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing and embarrassing.
The servants in front and behind the carriage glanced at the mistress's face and did not dare to say anything. The driver worked hard and rushed back to Song Mansion twice as fast as usual.
As soon as she returned to the main courtyard, Mrs. Chen sent someone to deliver a message to her cousin, telling her her arrangements.
They didn't even invite anyone over, so there was obviously no room for negotiation.
Naturally, An didn't agree with this arrangement.
She also knew that it was the affairs of the Hou Mansion that angered her cousin, but what did that mean? Besides, nothing happened, so why treat her so ruthlessly?
Faintly, Mrs. An had complaints about her cousin, and she even expressed hatred for Mrs. Lin in her words.
But Mrs. Chen, who arranged for people to spy, was very angry.
She was also broken into a cold sweat, thinking that she had lived such a long life in vain and had forgotten the lesson of rising rice and fighting rice hatred! If it weren't for Lin's advice, it wouldn't be surprising at all if An was left in the Song Mansion and did something even more outrageous over time.
Especially the next night, the person who was watching her came to report, saying that if she hadn't been stopped by the servants, An would have gone to Song Shilang privately to plead for mercy...
Mrs. Chen didn't hesitate at all. She didn't give them three days to clean up the house. She directly had the mother and daughter's luggage packed and sent them to her dowry house in Tianshui Lane.
In the carriage.
Gu Changling looked at An with an unhappy face, stamped her feet and said, "Mom, can this be the end of it?"
She thought of Song Yuming's elegantly decorated room, her large boxes of hairpins, and the endless amount of clothes she could wear... The palms of her hands were about to bleed.
He also said that he would take care of their mother and daughter, which were all lies.
Send them to live outside and treat them as beggars?
"What can I do, mother?"
Anshi said in a deep voice, seemingly accepting her fate, but she was just trying to avoid being heard by the mother-in-law outside.
In fact, she was angrier than anyone else.
But who allowed Chen to grab her seven inches? She said that if she didn't want to, she would rest in the house for half a month and take a boat to find Chen's father, who was An's uncle. That would be the only way to take care of them. Mother and daughter people.
Although her uncle was the governor of a certain place, the place was not as prosperous as the capital city. An was used to living a hard life after her marriage, but she didn't want to go back to that situation again. She saw that Chen wasn't trying to scare her, so she had no choice but to endure it.
She didn't believe it.
Without Chen, she would have no chance in this huge capital.
Just as I was thinking this, Sweet Water Lane arrived.
The carriage drove out of the avenue and slowly turned into the alley. But after walking a few steps, it suddenly swayed and stopped.
"what happened?"
Before Mrs. An could react, Gu Changling turned away from her obedient behavior in the house, angrily raised the curtain, and scolded the coachman unceremoniously:
"Slave dog, if you hit me, how many heads do you have to pay for it?"
Seeing this, An had no intention of stopping it.
However, Nanny Chen took a few steps forward and said in a deep voice: "Miss Gu, please keep your voice down. If you encounter a nobleman's carriage in front of you, it's better not to collide with it."
Hearing this, An, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally made some movement.
She opened the curtain, craned her neck and looked out. They saw a much taller carriage parked in front of them. The servants blocked the alley. A man in his thirties slowly stepped down from the carriage and was welcomed in by several maids.
Although An did not recognize the level of the carriage, she also knew that it was incomparable to the carriages of the Song Dynasty.
While he was stunned, the man heard the movement and looked back.
An curled his lips and smiled slightly.
