Chapter 10

After asking about his three granddaughters, Mrs. Sheng said she was tired and asked her children and grandchildren to go back to the house. The old man was about to rest. Sheng Hong originally wanted to say a few words for Mo Lan, but she had to hold back to the house.

As soon as she returned to the house, she had not had enough clothes to wash up, and the old lady's mother came suddenly. Sheng Hong and his wife hurriedly invited her into the house. The mother of Fang was an old mansion. She spoke quickly and explained the purpose of the trip in three words - the old lady asked Miss Minglan to go over.

As soon as this said, Sheng Hong and his wife immediately went in the sky and underground. Wang was overjoyed and wanted to burn two incense sticks to fulfill their wishes immediately. Sheng Hong was a little depressed and felt that the old lady would not like Aunt Lin in the end.

"Master, you have received all your filial piety. The old lady here thanks the old lady...Madam, please take the time to clean up the sixth girl. If you turn back and say to me, I will come to pick someone up."

Fang’s mother has always been a cheerful person, but after she finished speaking, she bowed and went back.

"What does the old lady mean? The girl in our family, except Hua'er, is Mo'er the eldest, so naturally the elder sister obeys her work. Could it be that she will let an ignorant and sick child go?" Sheng Hong opened her arms and asked Wang to untie her clothes. No matter how he thought, he thought Molan was more suitable than Minglan. "Not to mention that Mo'er has been serving the old lady these days. Everyone said that she was filial and proper, so why was the old lady hesitating?"

Wang was feeling comfortable physically and mentally, and smiled and said, "This is the old lady who is picking people. You think it's useless. She has to be willing to do it herself! I often tell Hua'er that she looks fresher and tender in her clothes, but she prefers light-colored clothes. Master, everything is better if others are willing to do it. You can't think it's good, so just put it on one. The old lady will not refute you in view of the master's face, but she may not feel comfortable. So, please relax. No matter which child the old lady chooses, they are not the master's daughter? Now that the old lady has spoken, you just do it. The old lady is in line with her heart, and you have done your best. It's not the best of both worlds? Besides, the old lady is kind and kind. She must have seen that Aunt Wei died early, and she is sick and ignorant tomorrow. It's not right to praise her."

Sheng Hong felt that this reason was more reliable, and the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt. Even if he wanted to praise Mo Lan, he could not force the old lady to accept her. However, Aunt Lin and she truly fell in love, and Mo Lan was a love crystallization. For this crystallization, he planned to work harder.

The next day, when Mrs. Sheng got up, her mother Fang was holding a white porcelain open bowl with silver wire embedded in a hundred years of life and was serving the old lady into the bird's nest porridge. The maid outside reported to her: "The master is here." Then she opened the thick indigo blue tapestry curtain to let Sheng Hong come in. Old Mrs. Sheng glanced at him slightly, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and asked her mother Fang to remove the porridge point.

"What are you doing in such an early morning? It's cold and you don't have much sleep." After Sheng Hong finished the salute and sat down, Old Mrs. Sheng said.

Sheng Hong said respectfully: "I thought about it all night after my mother left yesterday, but I still felt that it was inappropriate. I know that the old lady is kind to her tomorrow, but you are not in a good mood yet. If you add another ignorant child, how can your son be relieved? Why don't you let Mo'er come here, she is sensible and well-behaved, speaks and does things properly, and serves the old lady with care, what is the old lady?"

"This is inappropriate." Old Mrs. Sheng shook her head and said, "Although your heart is good, you are not careful. The child is the mother's heart. I only carried Hua'er over for three days, and my wife lost weight and almost lost her figure. She didn't dare to say it, but her heart seemed to be fried. I have also been a mother, so how could I not know? So even if you remembered it in my name, I still asked Aunt Chun to raise you. Although the wife is the legitimate mother of the children, the flesh and blood relationship cannot be removed, which made Mo'er leave Aunt Lin at a young age. I really can't bear it... Didn't you ask your wife to raise Mo'er on the grounds of flesh and blood affection? Why are you willing to give up now?" He said and glanced at Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong smiled: "What the old lady said is, but tomorrow she..."

Old Mrs. Sheng took over the conversation lightly: "Minglan is naturally good at her wife's place now, but her wife wants to be housekeeper, prepare for Hua'er's marriage, and takes care of Ru'er and Changbai. This is a bit too much. Moreover, she is not Minglan's biological mother, and she can't help but act. She just came to me, and it's a bit cheaper."

Sheng Hong was blocked and said dryly: "The old lady is still thoughtful. I'm afraid that I will be ignorant tomorrow and will be tired of you, so that it will be my son's sin."

Old Mrs. Sheng said casually: "Ignorance?...not necessarily."

Sheng Hongqi said, "Oh? How do you say this?"

Old Mrs. Sheng sighed slightly and turned her head. The mother next to her saw the beauty and hurriedly continued: "It's pitiful. After coming to Dengzhou, the master brought his wife and children to pay his respects to the old lady for the first time. After breakfast, the brothers and girls next to him asked their mother's maid to pick her up. The mother of Liu Girls was just having tea on her own, but she asked the girl to wait. As the girl walked around, she touched the old lady's Buddhist temple. When I went to search, she saw Liu Girls lying on the cushion and kowtowing to the Guanyin statue. She was sorry that she didn't dare to cry loudly, and she dared to cry softly."

Old Mrs. Sheng said in a deep voice: "Everyone thinks she is a stupid person. Who would have thought she understood everything, but she was sad, but she didn't dare to say it out loud, so she could only cry secretly at the Bodhisattva."

Sheng Hong remembered Aunt Wei, feeling a little sad, lowered his head and secretly sad. Old Mrs. Sheng glanced at Sheng Hong and said with a slight sarcastic expression: "I know that most of your heart has been given to Aunt Lin,?

The first time I went to the end of the year, I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past, and I was in the past

Sheng Hong was speechless when he was spoken.

After seeing Sheng Hong off, Mom Fang helped the old lady lie down on the kang by the window, and couldn't help but say, "What a pity for the fourth girl. Not to mention Aunt Lin, she is a good child."

Old Mrs. Sheng chuckled softly: "Once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of those smart and intelligent girls; they had a strong mind, but I had not figured out a thought, and they had already turned around in their stomachs. It would be better to be stupid and save trouble. Besides, she wasn't really stupid, didn't you say that when you heard her talking about her mother in front of the Buddha that day, you would miss your deceased mother, and you were considered a caring child; just her."

...

Wang's spirit was refreshed, and things were going in the direction she hoped most. The vixen didn't succeed. Rulan didn't have to leave her, and she even threw out a potato that was not hot. Dengzhou is a really good place, with good feng shui, which is prosperous! So the next day, she also got up early and directed the maid and the woman to clean up Minglan, intending to send the person over directly when she greeted her later.

While everyone was busy, Hualan sat majestic on the kang, and Xiao Minglan sat on a small stud, listening to the elder sister's instructions - do not sleep in, do not be lazy or exercise, do not be late, do not be bullied... Hualan said, and she responded, she was sleepy in the morning, but Hualan was still chanting scriptures like Tang Seng endlessly. Minglan wondered, but a 14 or 15-year-old girl was even nagging more than the administrator of the girl's dormitory back then, which was really a weird thing.

"Did you hear it? What are you thinking stupidly all day long?" Hualan's incense finger pointed at Minglan's forehead like a tube.

Minglan woke up and murmured with emotion: "He is so blessed, he is so considerate and cared for by his elder sister."

"Who?" Hualan couldn't hear it clearly.

"Big brother-in-law." Minglan tried hard to open her eyes, very stupid and naive.

The busy maids and mothers in the room covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Hua Lan's face turned red and wanted to tear Minglan apart. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide out. Minglan blinked her eyes innocently and looked at her in body language: What's wrong, did I say something wrong?

The Wang family was very energetic when they were happy, and they were very energetic. In order to show that she was actually a very virtuous and kind mother, she brought Minglan more than a dozen of fine materials, satin, suede, burnt, thin silk, silk, and silk carved... Because they were scooped directly from Hualan's dowry, they were very decent. There were also a few small gold and silver jewelry that Rulan had made for them, and they were all covered with them.

After asking for peace, Minglan was led by her mother to see the new room. Rulan jumped and followed her. Wang and Hualan continued to talk to Old Lady Sheng. Wang was like a salesman delivering goods. Because she was worried about being returned, she praised Minglan for being honest, honest, and obedient and sensible. Hualan couldn't even sit still by praising her, and said with a smile: "Old lady, look, Madam, she is afraid that you don't want your sixth sister, but she is always praising her sister."

The master and servant all over the room laughed. Old Mrs. Sheng liked Hua Lan's cheerful mouth the most and said with a smile: "Little girl movies, even her own mother is a play. Be careful that she deducts your dowry. If you look back, you will have nowhere to cry!"

Hua Lan's face turned red again, turned around and stopped talking, Wang smiled: "What the old lady said is, I'm worried that this girl will be used to being too old or too young at home, and she will be laughed at when she goes back to her husband's house."

Old Mrs. Sheng leaned toward Wang and said seriously: "I was about to say this. Since Hua'er got married, I have written to the old sisters in Beijing and asked them to recommend a steady nanny to educate, the kind of old man who came out of the palace, who is well-educated and well-educated, and asked him to come to our mansion to help teach Hua's maids some rules. I just hope that my wife will not blame me for being troubled."

Wang was overjoyed and immediately stood up to bow deeply to the old lady, crying and said, "Thanks to the old lady's thoughtfulness, I was worried about this. If it were an equal official family, Huaer Xu's house was a count's mansion. Although our family can be considered a noble family, those Dukes and Marquis's mansions have many rules and tricks, and ordinary people can learn it. Not to mention the Zhongqin Mansion, even the relatives and friends who will be in the future are afraid that they will be either the prince's mansion or the title's mansion. Huaer is also a straightforward person. I am always worried that she is not polite and will be looked down upon in the future! The old lady has really solved the big problem in my heart today. I am here to kowtow to the old lady here! Come on, Huaer, come here, kowtow to the old lady!"

Wang said tears. Hualan was busy. Before she could kneel down, she was pulled into her arms by Old Lady Sheng. While asking Fang's mother to help Wang up, she pulled her eldest granddaughter, looked at her earnestly, and said with a sob: "You are a lucky child. Your father is asking around for your marriage. The character and talents of the younger generation are worthy of your life. You are protected by Master Hou and your husband's family. You must be sensible and obedient in the future. When the nanny comes in a few days, you can learn the rules from her and learn how to behave. In the future, you can have respect when you arrive at your in-laws' house. Oh... I think you are not as big as a pillow at that time, and you will be married now..."

Hualan held back and tears flowed down: "Don't worry, my ancestor, I will be fine, you have to take good care of your body, and your granddaughter will come to see you often in the future."

Old Mrs. Sheng was sad and nodded to Fang's mother. Fang's mother took out a huge flat wooden box from it. The wood looked old, but the four corners of the box were inlaid with cloud dragon patterns and gold bands with ring patterns, which were gorgeous and brilliant. Fang's mother sent the box to the kang. Old Mrs. Sheng took it and said to Hualan: "Your dowry was built in Quanzhou a few years ago. Your parents have tried their best and there is nothing to be missing. This pair of ruby ​​red gold face was sent by me when I got married. I will give it to you today."

When the box was opened, the room suddenly felt a golden light. The golden red color seemed to have been cleaned recently. The red treasure was huge and shining. Each one was as big as a thumb, red and hot, dazzling. Even Wang, who was born in a wealthy family, was shocked and could not move his eyes away. Hualan was even more stunned.

Mother Fang smiled and stuffed the box into Hualan's hand: "Miss, please accept it quickly. The ruby ​​on it was brought by Mr. Hou from the Kiev country on the other side of the Great Snow Mountain. It was made into a whole pair of heads and faces for the old lady to do the dowry. From the head, body, and hand, there were eighteen pieces, carefully inlaid with barefoot gold. It took two craftsmen three months to make it. Even if they were worn in the palace and met the nobles, it was enough. Miss, this is the old lady's intention. Accept it quickly."

Hua Lan was excited for a moment and buried her in the old lady's arms and started crying. She thanked her while crying. Wang wiped her tears aside. This time her tears were definitely real.

...

The old lady wanted to raise the sixth girl, and it spread throughout the Sheng Mansion in the morning. After hearing this, Aunt Lin threw a tea bowl on the spot. Mo Lan sat aside and wiped her tears, crying with tears rolling: "I said I would not go, don't go, you insist on me, look, this time it's embarrassing!"

The few close maids on the side did not dare to say anything. The whole Sheng Mansion knew that Mo Lan was serving the old lady diligently these days, and they thought that the person who went there would be Mo Lan. Unexpectedly, he would be embarrassed this time.
