A visit to Fangchun

Wang Ziteng is still the title of the nine provinces, but he also works as the Minister of the Ministry of War and is busy in the Ministry of War every day.It's so easy for my wife to celebrate her birthday today, so she welcomes male guests at home.

Since Mrs. Wang's marriage, Wang Ziteng's wife, Mrs. Luo, is the head of the palace. Wang Ziteng's mother, Mrs. Zhao, was not on good terms with the old man back then, so she always used illness as an excuse and refused to take over the housework.

When the old uncle was working in Beijing, Mrs. Zhao stayed in the old house to serve the elderly and take care of Wang Ziteng and the young Aunt Xue; while the eldest son Wang Zisheng and Mrs. Chang Queen stayed with her father all the time.So the old uncle handed over the inner house affairs to Mrs. Wang early.When the entire Wang family moved to the capital, Mrs. Wang wanted to hand over the affairs to her mother, but Mrs. Zhao refused to do so and asked her to take care of it first.Here, Luo Shi married into the Wang family, and over there Mrs. Wang went to Jia's house. The difference between the two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law was only two or three months, and the handover was just completed.

Later, the old uncle passed away, and the old lady Zhao was even more unwilling to take care of the family affairs, so that Luo Shi didn't have to ask about everything, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just discussed and discussed important matters.

This Luo family was also from a famous family, well versed in etiquette, and gave birth to Prince Teng with two sons and a daughter.Now the two sons have been sent to other places by Wang Ziteng, one is on the coast and the other is in Huaiyang, both of them are fat and oily errands.So now there is only one young girl in the family, one year younger than Xichun, whose scientific name is Yinghe.

The Jia sisters came to the door as their closest cousins, and Wang Yinghe quickly picked them up in person: "Sisters, you are here! I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Wang Xifeng saw her curtseying to him and others, and quickly stepped forward to pull her: "That's all. How is grandma?"

One step behind here, Mrs. Luo also stepped out in person, with a smile all over her face: "It can be regarded as coming! I am looking forward to you!"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly saluted her first: "Auntie's birthday, we are here to congratulate you, but we didn't dare to be late! I'm here as a servant. If you have any work, send me to do it. I promise I won't cause trouble for you!"

Aunt Xue laughed, and hit her first, before saluting to Mrs. Luo: "Sister-in-law's birthday, I wish you a long life!"

Wang Yinghe pursed her lips and smiled, and greeted Aunt Xue again: "Hello Second Aunt! Where's Eldest Aunt? Why didn't you come?"

At this time, it was the turn of Xue Pan, Baochai, Baoyu and Tanchun sisters to come up to meet Mrs. Luo, and performed peer etiquette with Wang Yinghe. Baoyu smiled and explained: "Grandma feels uncomfortable in the morning and needs to sleep. Don't worry, my mother." No, I didn't come here. Let me apologize to my aunt for her, and let me kowtow to my aunt properly!"

As he said that, he was about to kneel down.

Mrs. Luo hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile: "I'm not here even to salute. Your uncle is busy outside, so you should help him quickly. I don't need your heads here! Paner also go!"

Xue Pan and Baoyu agreed, and hurriedly turned around and went out to help their uncle greet the guests.

Mrs. Luo's eyes turned from Baochai, Yingchun, and Xichun, and then she took a closer look at Tanchun, and smiled lightly: "It's good that sister Tan is here. A few times ago, your wife always said that you I'm not comfortable, I'm worried about it." Saying that, he nodded.

Jia Tanchun had always known that this Mrs. Luo was capable of laughing even if she didn't like people no matter how much she disliked. Hearing this, he respectfully saluted: "Aunt Lao is thinking about it. Huan'er was going to come too, but the homework is tight in school, and he doesn't care about it." Great inspiration, the master is not allowed to leave with a ruler. So the wife said, let me kowtow for Huan'er when I celebrate my aunt's birthday later."

Mrs. Luo smiled, nodded again, and then took Aunt Xue's arm, and the female relatives walked into the flower hall talking and laughing with each other.

The Wang family has always been wealthy.Of the four surnames in Jinling, the richest one back then was naturally the Jia Mansion, but the second was the turn of the Wang Mansion.Especially after the Wang family practiced the navy for a while, they had a lot of dealings with merchant ships along the coast. Gradually, all foreign visitors were greeted by the Wang family.At that time, the wealth of the Wang family was accumulating very quickly, and the treasury was full of treasures, but later they couldn't pile up, so they had to be quietly transported back to the old house in Jinling.Just like this, it also attracted the attention of many people. One time, there was a big commotion when water bandits hit the canal. At that time, the Wang family was a general with a temper. They were all slaughtered, and the river was full of blood.Because of this, Yushi couldn't see it, and wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that the Wang family killed innocent people indiscriminately.Unexpectedly, the Taishang was so partial at the time, and directly dismissed it: "When you meet someone who is robbing with a knife, don't you go back and kill him? You still talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?"

Now that the Wang family has the words of the emperor, they are no longer afraid of money being exposed, and directly built a mansion in Jinling. The mansion is resplendent and magnificent, which is really beautiful.

Not to mention this place in the capital, which was directly decorated in imitation of the mansion of the former prime minister. Not to mention the colorful gardens, famous flowers and precious grasses. The houses of the merchants were so exquisitely built.

Tanchun didn't have a deep impression of this house, so he looked around carefully.Baochai saw it, pulled her with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Tanchun also smiled back to her: "I heard that the mansion has just repaired the garden again. I'll take a look at the layout. Otherwise, I won't be able to tell where it is. If I go the wrong way, what should I do? People should laugh at me, right?" The Wang family is a serious family."

Although Baochai also despised Tanchun's status as a concubine in her heart, she also admired her for being able to laugh at herself without paying any attention to this, cast a reproachful look at her, and said with a smile: "You like to talk nonsense. Sister He is young. , the ones here who are helping to greet the girls from various prefectures must be a few cousin girls from the Luo family, she must have followed us all the way, are you afraid that she will point you to the wrong way?"

Tanchun covered his lips and smiled lightly, pulled at Wang Yinghe, who was listening attentively, and said with a smile, "Listen, your cousin is making arrangements for you! Be coquettish and let me see!"

Wang Yinghe is not like the women of the Wang family. She is far away from such things as scheming. At this time, she just smiled coquettishly and said: "This is my cousin, and that is also a cousin. Which one should I act like a baby with? Good sisters , This taught me to be in a dilemma, I don't obey and I don't obey!"

Mrs. Luo and Aunt Xue both heard this sentence earlier, they couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed.Aunt Xue was a little worried, she turned her head and smiled and said, "Baochai, you are the biggest among the sisters, don't bully my sister."

Both Wang Yinghe and Tanchun saw Baochai's slight embarrassment, looked at each other, and burst into laughter, and Tanchun even smiled and said bluntly: "Auntie, you should tell Sister Bao not to be bullied by us."

Wang Yinghe smiled and said: "Third cousin, you are wrong. Auntie is afraid that we will bully Sister Bao, so tell us!"

Yingchun Xichun also laughed, clapped her hands and said, "I'm afraid that's exactly the case!"
