Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber
Chapter 60
Meng Yan and Meng Xiuzhou were pulled by the Meng family and followed the servant at the door. Meng Yan's white and plump face was replaced by a child's innocent and curious expression. When she was pulled away, she quietly looked at the surrounding environment from time to time. Looking around with a touch of timidity, she looks cautious but very cute; it is curiosity and fear of strange places.
Meng Zhou, except for occasional eye contact with Meng Yan, let the Meng family drag him away silently. No one knew that Meng Zhou was complaining about Meng Yan in his heart.He is obviously an adult who is too mature to be more mature, but he still pretends to be a child. If Meng Yan knew Meng Zhou's thoughts, he would tell him that this is called pretending to be tender and not pretending to be a child.Of course, Meng Yan didn't know Meng Zhou's thoughts, and Meng Zhou didn't know the reason why Meng Yan pretended to be a child. After all, Meng Zhou didn't think as much as Meng Yan thought, so naturally he didn't know Meng Yan's intentions.
In Meng Yan's view, innocent children are the most suitable for her identity. Although the children of rich families are precocious, they obviously prefer innocent children in the eyes of adults.Because their thoughts are too much and the city is too deep, the children's innocent smiles and words can make them relax, which she has seen a lot in those years.Although she is fake innocence, she can act like it.
She had made up her mind to be a real child in front of people as early as after handing over the common affairs to the Meng family, so she didn't have to worry too much about it.Of course, Meng Yan doesn't know now that the habits she has formed are not so easy to get rid of. She didn't understand this until a long time later when she got used to worrying.
Meng Yan, who was looking at the surrounding scenery, didn't know that the mother and son's every move was watched by others, and their behavior was known by the women in the backyard of the Zhou Mansion soon after.
Meng Yan of the Zhou Mansion had been inquired about a long time ago. The current owner of the Zhou Mansion is Meng's aunt Da Zhang who has a husband and is currently the second-rank household department Zuo Shilang Zhou Bocheng Master Zhou.Mr. Zhou is the eldest son of the Zhou family. Thirty years ago, he married the second daughter of Mr. Zhang Mu, then Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who was the aunt of the Meng family. The couple had three sons and two daughters. Already married and had children.However, although the youngest girl is not yet married, she is already engaged, and will only get married next year and after that.
The Zhou family is also a family of poems and books, and it is a noble and noble family in the middle of the court. It is important that men can only take concubines when they are [-] and childless; Da Zhang married into the Zhou family and gave birth to three sons and two daughters in succession, which stabilized her position as the head of the Zhou family.Mr. Zhou has no concubines, no concubine and concubine except his biological mother Mrs. Zhou who gave him two housemaids.Moreover, the two housemates were bestowed by Mrs. Zhou for the sake of her daughter-in-law. Although the appearance is enchanting, compared with the Zhang family who came from a scholarly family, they are not on the stage and are not liked by Mr. Zhou; after the death of Mrs. Zhou It was as if there were no two people in the Zhou Mansion with two Tongfangs.
Now Zhang's eldest son, Zhou Jingyi, is married to a fifth-rank Lang in the Ministry of Officials. Lu has two sons and a daughter. Juren married his wife An and raised one son, the eldest daughter Zhou Jingzhen had two sons after four years of marriage, and the second daughter Zhou Jinglin was engaged to the family of Shijiao. It can be said that Zhang's life is the envy of most women in this era.
The Zhou family is harmonious, and the Zhang family runs the family well. This can be seen from the servants of the Zhou mansion alone.
However, Meng Yan did not tell Meng Shi about the Zhou family. From her point of view, Meng Shi would inquire about these things by herself, and there is no need for her to tell Meng Shi. Knowing each other is an important part of interpersonal relationships. The carefully cultivated Meng Shi It's impossible not to know, and she doesn't need to point fingers.
Even Meng Yan herself knew it and pretended not to know it. She was just a child who knew too much and it was not a good thing. Her goal was to be as long as she was polite.The communication with the people of the Zhou Mansion depends entirely on the Meng family, and Meng Yan relaxes to enjoy the scenery of the Zhou Mansion.
Along the way, the layout of the Zhou Mansion is exquisite, elegant, beautiful and beautiful, without any luxury at all. Just looking at the scenery of this mansion, one can tell that the master of this mansion is an elegant and elegant person.The elegant landscape of the Zhou Mansion is in line with Meng Yan's aesthetics. Meng Yan likes it very much, especially the plum blossoms blooming proudly in the snow behind the beautiful rockery in the courtyard. The little red plums are so eye-catching in the pure white world. Swaying in the wind is so lonely and noble.
Compared with Meng Yan's good mood of admiring the scenery, Meng's heart is more uneasy. I don't know if her aunt still blames her; although she has never regretted that she once resented, after all, she was disappointed in waiting when she was helpless...Meng Shi led the servants away with a disturbed and tangled mood.
The Zhou Mansion occupies a very large area, and the three of Meng Yan followed the servants around for a long time, but they still haven't reached the main courtyard where Mrs. Zhang lives.Because Mrs. Meng is the daughter of Mrs. Zhang's own sister, Meng Yan and Meng Zhou are children under the age of seven, so there is no need to avoid it. Mrs. Zhang did not meet the three of Mrs. Meng in the main hall, but in the main courtyard where she lived, which made them feel closer .
Walking through the courtyard with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, stepping into the long corridor with red columns and green pillars, just as the three mothers and sons of the Meng family walked into the long corridor and saw the main courtyard pointed out by the servants, a ten-year-old boy led the three A child who was younger than him came over, and the servant who was leading the way for Meng's mother and son hurried forward to salute the children.
"Slave sends greetings to Master Jin, Master Shen, Master Xuan, and Miss Sun."
"Zhou Changping, are they grandma's guests?" The oldest boy called Master Jin glanced at Meng's mother and son.
"Master Hui Jin is the wife's guest. These are Miss Biao and the two young masters, Miss Sun. Miss Biao is the wife's niece." The servant called Zhou Changping told the identities of Meng's mother and son to the young masters, after all The news that the wife's niece is coming has been spread long ago, and no one in the house does not know about it.
"It turned out to be my cousin and cousins. Mu Jin has seen my cousin and two cousins."
"Quick and free..."
After the three members of the Meng family and the four brothers and sisters greeted each other, Mu Jin personally led the way for the three, and the third mother and son followed silently. The children were obviously very curious about the third mother and son, and secretly looked at the three from time to time. Meng Yan felt that Seeing their curious gazes, she completely ignored them.
The maids guarding the door in the main courtyard saw Meng Yan and a group of them coming in and hurried in to report. When the maids came out to invite them, the three of Meng Yan entered the room together with a few children.Inside the house, Mrs. Zhang sat with her two daughters-in-law and her youngest daughter, apparently waiting for the three of Mrs. Meng.In fact, as early as the Meng family entered the Zhou mansion, the Zhang family and others got the news, so they gathered in the Zhang family's house and waited.
Meng Yan's eyes quickly swept across the people in the room. Mrs. Zhang is a dignified and graceful woman in her 40s and almost 20 years old. The one with a gentle face is a woman in her twenties, and on her right is a young woman in her early twenties with a pretty face. Sitting next to her is Zhou Jinglin, the youngest daughter of the Zhang family; Beloved, her appearance is very similar to Zhang's, she is very delicate and beautiful, from her body, Zhang's appearance can be seen when he was young.
"Yan'er, Zhou'er quickly kowtow to Auntie."
Mrs. Meng pulled Meng Yan and Mengzhou to kneel down and kowtow to Mrs. Before she stood up, Mrs. Meng was pulled by Mrs. Zhang to sit beside Mrs. Mrs. Zhang hugged Mrs. Meng sobbing, and patted Mrs. Meng with her hands bitterly.
"Get up, get up!"
"Wan'er, my Wan'er, you are a cruel child who hasn't come here for so many years to say a word..."
Mrs. Zhang's words also aroused Mrs. Meng's sadness. The two of them hugged their heads and cried, and the people in the room stared at the mother and their mother with big eyes and small eyes.
Before Mrs. Zhang had time to introduce the three mothers and sons of Mrs. Meng to others, Meng Yan and Mrs. Meng Zhou blinked their big eyes when Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Meng hugged each other and cried. The big and small daughters-in-law Lu and An Shi pulled them over and rubbed them in their arms for a while, and said straight to the poor child.
Being held in Mrs. Lu's arms, Meng Yan's heart twitched. Why did she feel so familiar with this scene? It reminded her of the scene where sister Lin entered Jia's mansion in the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber" in her previous life. More like that.At this moment, Meng Yan felt that she had realized that it was not just Jia Shishi who liked it all the time, it was the old lady of this era who likes to come here.
Meng Yan complained in her heart that she still had a naive, timid and bewildered expression on her face. Meng Yan was extremely uncomfortable being hugged by a stranger, and she hoped that Zhang and Meng would finish crying soon.
Several children of the Zhou Mansion saw this scene. The two young ones didn't understand, but the two big ones looked helpless, but the flashing eyes in their eyes were obviously different. This was clearly watching a play. It seemed that such a scene was Zhou Fu should play a lot of roles.
Seeing that the crying could not stop for a while, but the two daughters-in-law did not dare to speak rashly, they quietly gave the sister-in-law a look, and Zhou Jinglin, who was sitting aside and couldn't stand it for a long time, persuaded: "Mother, you and I haven't seen my cousin for many years, but now that I see her, I should be happy, this crying is so sad, besides, the children are still watching."
"That's right, that's right, what my sister-in-law said is exactly; our daughter-in-law and cousin are meeting for the first time, so mother has to introduce us well." An's temperament is lively and quick-witted, and he took Zhou Jinglin's words at the right time.
"There's still such a lovely person, mother, you have to take a good look at it, look at how handsome it looks, I like it when I look at it, mother, look at it." Lu Shi also pulled Meng Yan in front of Zhang Shi.
Mrs. Zhang obeyed Mrs. Lu's words, and then pulled Meng Yan over to look at her and hugged her for a while, buried in Zhang's chest, Meng Yan almost suffocated to death; after rubbing Meng Yan, she rubbed Meng Zhou again Later, Mrs. Zhang introduced the mother and son to her daughter and daughter-in-law with her two children in her arms.
"This is Wanyan, the only son of your little aunt. Your little aunt is my youngest sister. When we were in the Zhang family, we brothers and sisters loved her alone. I didn't expect that she would go there early..." He wiped his tears again, and pulled Hold Meng's hand and talk about Meng's mother.
After talking and crying for a while, Meng Yan watched and rolled her eyes while avoiding the crowd, she really couldn't help it.Listening to Mrs. Zhang talking intermittently about Grandma Meng Yan, and about Mrs. Zhang being the queen of heaven, Mrs. Meng.
"What's going on between you and the Lin family? I sent someone to give you gifts and didn't want to send someone back but said you had gone. Why don't you tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Meng Zhou, except for occasional eye contact with Meng Yan, let the Meng family drag him away silently. No one knew that Meng Zhou was complaining about Meng Yan in his heart.He is obviously an adult who is too mature to be more mature, but he still pretends to be a child.
