Chapter 314
Mrs. Yan didn’t want to see Yan Hanyu. The more sad she felt, the more she didn’t want to see her eldest granddaughter.
Not only because of her appearance similar to her eldest son, she felt ache once when she saw it, but also because before the eldest granddaughter was born, she went to ask the respected Master Xinkong to tell the death of the fetus in Lin Suxin's belly, and wrote a note, "Men's fate is unparalleled, and women's fate is prone to death prematurely!"
Mrs. Yan was looking forward to her first child being the eldest grandson, but she was born as a granddaughter. Later, the eldest son was in trouble, and Master Xinkong's lyrics became a thorn in her heart. She believed that the eldest daughter's fate caused the death of the eldest son.
More than ten years have passed, and Mrs. Yan can't remember everything about that year, but I can remember the ten words clearly. I only thought that it was my granddaughter who cured the eldest son. Year after year, I can't forget anything!
Mrs. Yan has been vegetarian and chanting Buddha's name for many years, but it does not mean that she no longer cares about the matters in the inner house. Mrs. Lu is in charge of the inner house and has to respect her mother-in-law no matter what, and she has to talk back and forth every month.
It was because Lu made a mistake in his parents' home and was punished to go to Renwang Temple to fast, which was also punished by Mrs. Yan himself.
Mrs. Lu’s words are right. Lu’s marriage has long been a member of the Yan family, so it is naturally the one who wants to control her. Lu’s arguments with the elders are for being unfilial and must be punished and cannot be avoided.
When Yan Hanyu came to take charge of the inner house, Mr. Yan mentioned it. Mrs. Yan didn't say anything. When he heard that Yan Hanyu would let her take charge of the house, she went back to Shou'an Hall.
Yan Hanyu doesn’t like the Zhang family because the Zhang family has too many trivial matters and cannot be said to be busy, but it is just not quiet.
She used to live in a small courtyard. She was used to being quiet and free. She read books whenever she wanted to read, practice calligraphy whenever she wanted to practice, and there was no one to restrain her if she wanted to practice martial arts. Suddenly, there were so many trivial things, and I was really not used to it.
The years are all tedious things, and they are usually very busy at the end of the year. There are just a few visitors who have celebrated New Year. This year, due to the death of Concubine Hua, it has become much deserted. There are not many people visiting them, but they have received a lot of New Year’s greetings. Most of them have to reply to the New Year’s greetings.
Sometimes a housekeeper will come to a farm in the suburbs to give her some gifts, sometimes a customer post, and also give her bonuses to the housekeepers of each shop. One thing after another, in short, she will not be allowed to be peaceful.
So she prepared the New Year's Etiquette as much as the New Year's Etiquette before her departure. She added the New Year's Etiquette as the New Year's Etiquette as the gifts prepared by her second aunt.
When the second uncle was in charge of the family, Yan Hanyu and Shizuka followed the second uncle for a few days, and now they followed their grandmother for two days. Yan Hanyu basically understood the process of the Zhang family. She always had plans and had her own ideas. She would do whatever she wanted. She would not feel panic when she got started.
Because of the Zhang family, she had to change her residence and move to her mother's main yard.
Mingruo Courtyard is originally the Changfang Courtyard, which is not much worse than the main courtyard. It is more convenient for the butler to run here than to her boudoir courtyard.
She thought it would be fine, but she was at least close to her mother.
After sitting down and looking at a few books, Yan Hanyu realized that the Yan family’s land shops were more than she had imagined. In addition to the farms and land in the suburbs, there was also a large area of forests, land, etc. in the ancestral home of Shandong, and a lot of them were recorded every year.
There is one advantage of the Zhang family, that is, even the big and small things in the mansion cannot escape her eyes.
The second uncle went out with the New Year ceremony and said that he would visit a friend in Yingtian Mansion and would come back in two or three days. Aunt Qiu later followed him out and said that he would go to the temple to enjoy incense.
I heard that my third uncle was infected with the cold and took the medicine and stayed in the yard to recuperate.
After two days of such trivial matters, Shizuka returned from the Lu family and Rongxuan had already returned one day earlier.
Rongxuan just waited for Shizuka to come back and planned to go to the suburbs of the city to pick up his mother.
In the suburbs of the city, the temple is full of hardships, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name, asking God for prayer, and nothing else, let alone on the New Year holiday, Rongxuan came back from the Lu family and asked for love with the old lady, asking for her to take her mother back home.
Rongxuan is the eldest grandson, and he is quite serious in Mrs. Yan. He remembers his filial piety and agrees that he will take the person back the next day.
Shizuka felt a little resistant, but she thought of what her grandmother said to her, there was no overnight revenge between mother and daughter!
Every time she quarreled with her mother, Yan Jingxiang hated her mother, but afterwards she even forgot the cause of the quarrel. Her grandmother had already told a lot of reasons, and she accepted it.
But after all, Shizuka, who had many quarrels, still had a estrangement in her mother. She forgot the cause of the quarrel, but what she didn't forget was her impression of her mother, and she always looked down on her daughter.
Even though I didn't want to go there.
After the New Year, it is also the season when spring is approaching, and we have to start preparing for spring clothes again. However, Yan Hanyu is not in a hurry to do this, and it is not too late to prepare when her second aunt comes back.
The second wife got a lot of money from the public, and Yan Hanyu would not care about this. After all, the second wife's population is here. With her in the past few days, she has read a lot of details. It can be seen that the second aunt has at least a cent of her mother. As long as the second aunt is not too much, she will not care about this.
Yan Hanyu has been busy with affairs these two days and often feels empty in her heart, but because there are too many trivial matters, she doesn't have time to think about it.
Thinking that my second uncle also sent a letter today and would come back at noon, Yan Hanyu ordered the housekeeper to send a few people outside the city to pick him up.
The weather was gloomy and there was no trace of snow. Only the cold wind blew the flags on the city walls, and the gatekeepers were so cold that their cheeks were purple and they had to stand straight at the city gate.
The scenery of the suburbs of the city is bleak, with dead trees and wild grass flying, the road is quiet and the people are sparse, and the earth is vast. Even the Nanxun Gate, which is usually full of traffic, is quiet. One or two vendors scattered in the corner, standing in place, rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, and not shouting. Two or three people were entering and exiting the restaurant and teahouse, and occasionally entering a carriage from the city gate.
Four men in the same costume stood in a ball by the city gate, surrounded by chests, rubbed their hands, and looked in one direction.
"Why haven't the Second Master arrived yet?" One of them spoke.
Another said, "Second Master returns home, let's welcome him at the door of the mansion. Why did the eldest lady let us pick him up from outside the city? When the wife was Zhang's house, the second master didn't listen to the wife's arrangements for us to pick him up so far?"
"Miss is young and has nothing to do, how can I compare with my wife!"
"This is wrong. Our eldest lady is smart. The old lady took the eldest lady for two days, and the young lady came by himself. Which lady in the city is better than the talented one? Don't look at our eldest lady who speaks softly. If you really want to stand in front of the eldest lady and dare not look at her, your legs will be weak. Our eldest lady has a bigger aura than her. When the young lady was young, she dealt with the Wang San who was looking down on others. Even the housekeeper dared not make trouble in front of the eldest lady... If there is a young lady, she can enter the master's study at any time. The old lady is the young lady's favorite... Take the red envelopes sent to us this year for example. Everyone has more than in previous years. I heard that the extra money was sent privately by the young lady, and it was not the public account that left..."
The endless praise is definitely Yan Hanyu's loyal servant.
