Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 664 Happy New Year (1 more)
Back in time to the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Wan agreed to go to Lu's house to pay New Year's greetings, and when Song Wei came back from paying a visit to the palace early in the morning, people got ready to go.

The carriage was parked outside the Chuihua Gate, and the servants had already put the New Year gifts on the cart and followed behind the carriage.

Wen Wan changed into a light peach red floral satin jacket, and underneath it was a lily skirt woven with gold flowers, and on her shoulders was a bright red two-color cloud and dragon satin sable cape, with only a single snail tied up in a bun, and the golden silk and begonia bead flower steps were swaying on the crow. Heavy hair.

Those who went to see Lu’s house were all elders, with gentle makeup on gentle face, almond eyes and bright benevolence, skin as delicate as fat, and pink cheeks, compared with when they were wearing the crown dress, they have faded a bit, and there are more young daughters. weak bone fibrous shape.

At the palace banquet yesterday, Mrs. Xiao Liu kept emphasizing that the whole family would go, so Wen Wan asked Nanny Zhou, who was on duty today, to hug Qi Bao and follow.

Before leaving, Wen Wan went to Rong'an Hall next door to inform her parents-in-law. Mrs. Song knew Wen Wan and the others were going to Lu's house last night, so she didn't say anything. She only told the Tianhan road to be slippery, and asked the servants to take care of them carefully. .

After everything was ready, Wen Wan took Linglong and Mrs. Zhou out of the Chuihua Gate, and sent someone to invite the two young masters, but the young servant only brought Jin Bao, saying that the young master had an appointment with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today and could not go to Lu Happy New Year at home.

"If that's the case, then forget it." Wen Wan took Jin Bao's little hand, and gave Linglong a wink, and Linglong immediately handed the hand stove that she had prepared earlier in the morning to Jin Bao's hand.

The little guy took it and held it in his free hand, warming his hand after a while.

Wen Wan asked again: "Where is the master? Why didn't I see anyone?"

The little fellow Kan'er said: "Master is changing clothes at the moment, it's cold outside, please ask Madam to get in the car first, master will be there soon."

After Wen Wan listened, she took Qi Bao from Nanny Zhou, took a pair of children and sat on it first, and asked Kaner to prepare another pony carriage for Linglong and Nanny Zhou.

After waiting for a while, I saw Song Wei come in through the curtain.

Wen Wan hurriedly handed her hand stove to him, and while moving him, she never forgot to ask: "Is this year's Grand Court very lively?"

"All the officials have gone, so it's naturally lively." Song Wei didn't say much, he rarely talked about business at home.

Wen Wan didn't ask any more questions, and let the groom start to drive the carriage.

Driving out of Rongsheng Street, the carriage headed eastward for about a stick of incense, and finally stopped in front of the gate of Duke Zhong's Mansion.

Because of the Chinese New Year, festive red silk flowers were tied on the stone lion in front of the gate. A few children were playing with firecrackers outside.

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, which is the day for families to visit relatives and friends. From the main gate to the outer gate to the inner gate of the Duke's Mansion, everything is wide open.

After getting off the car, Mrs. Zhou came forward to take Qi Bao from Wen Wan's hand, and Wen Wan took her son, followed the man, and walked slowly towards the gate.

Wen Wan didn't ask someone to deliver the post in advance, but the porters knew that she was not only the princess, but also the granddaughter of the Duke, with a very respectful and polite face, one of them ran to the inner courtyard to Tong Bing.

Not long after, Lu Yanbin and his wife greeted them personally.

When Xiao Liu saw Wen Wan, her eyes were shining, "I knew that Sister Wan was coming, but our old lady was so happy, she got up early, and she is still energetic!"

Wen Wan smiled and said: "I really want to come early, but I have to enter the palace in the morning to pay respects to the empress, and I can't get away. No, I packed it up non-stop once I got back to the mansion."

"I understand." Xiaoliu said as she came over to support Wen Wan, "Sister Wan please come inside, the tea is prepared for you."

Seeing her little nephew standing next to her, Xiao Liu's smile became even wider, "Auntie heard that Jinbao likes to eat snacks, so she specially prepared several kinds, and you can just eat for a while, and you can eat whatever you like, okay?"

Jin Bao let out a "huh" and licked his small mouth, but he didn't speak.

A few people were walking forward when Luyu, a maid from Feixue Courtyard, suddenly ran over and whispered something in Lu Yanbin's ear. Lu Yanbin's complexion changed slightly, and then he looked at Xiao Liushi with a troubled expression.

Xiao Liushi turned her eyes away and pretended not to see anything.

In front of her cousin and her husband, Lu Yanbin didn't want her husband and wife to look too ugly, so she called Xiao Liu aside and said in a low voice: "Something happened in Feixueyuan, I'll come as soon as I go, you Treat my sister Wan and brother-in-law for me first."

Xiao Liu gave a cold hum, and said nothing more, as if she was no stranger to such a situation.

After Lu Yanbin left, Wen Wan hurriedly said something to ease the atmosphere, "Since there is something important to do, let him go to work, and he is not a distant visitor, anyone who entertains him is the same."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiaoliu just sighed slightly and didn't say anything else. Afterwards, she took the two of them into the main hall and sat down. She asked the servant girl to come in and serve tea, and said apologetically, "My father-in-law and the old lady are discussing things in the study, and brother-in-law sit down for a while. In a moment, I'll let someone invite you."

Song Wei said politely, "Thank you."

After ordering the servants to take good care of Song Wei, Xiao Liu said to Wen Wan: "Sister Wan, let's go to the inner courtyard to talk!"

"Okay." Wen Wan nodded, stood up, turned her head to the side, and said to Song Wei, "Master, I will take Jinbao and Qibao to meet the old lady, and I will come out to find you later."

Song Wei nodded.

Xiaoliu said "this way please", and led Wen Wan and his party to the old lady's yard.

When he opened the curtain and went in, he saw that apart from the old lady, there were several women sitting in Dongci's room, all of whom were relatives of the Lu family.

Seeing Wen Wan, they stood up one by one to salute the princess.

Wen Wan raised her hand so that there was no need to be too polite, and went forward to greet the old lady.

Afraid that Wen Wan would feel unfamiliar, the old lady sent all her relatives away, and then looked at Wen Wan.

On the day of the old lady's birthday banquet years ago, because Su Yi was disrupting the situation behind her back and exposed Wen Wan's identity, the old lady fainted in a hurry, and she didn't have time to talk to Wen Wan properly. It was the same at the palace banquet yesterday, too much time. Too short, just greeted and entered the table, and then left the table in a hurry, seeing Wen Wan again today, the old lady was so emotional that someone moved her over.

Wen Wan sat down next to her.

The old lady Lu took her hand, "Good boy, you have been living outside and suffering for the past few years."

Wen Wan shook her head, "It's not bitter, my adoptive father treats me well."

The old lady Lu asked, "Did you write a letter to your parents? Did you send a New Year's gift to your adoptive father's house?"

Wen Wan replied that the letter was written and the New Year gift was also delivered.

The old lady smiled gratifiedly and said, "It's a good boy to have such filial piety." Then she sighed, "It's a pity that God's wishes are not fulfilled. The members of your family are scattered everywhere and cannot be reunited. Your brother Yan Qingyuan Thousands of miles away, I don't know what it looks like after being grinded."

Wen Wan lowered her eyelashes, "With Lu Yanqing's status, even if he was exiled, no one would dare to torture him too much, but..."

It's just that when he comes back, the old man and the old lady may no longer be alive.

This is what the old lady suffers from.

Sometimes when she thinks about it, she always feels that the youngest son has committed some sins in the previous life, and everything will not go well in this life. First, he fell in love with the princess and was strongly opposed by the queen mother. Later, he was conspired by Su Yi to give him a marriage. It was another unknown twists and turns, he finally went to the border to make a name for himself, and was feared by the queen mother, who gave him a marriage with a piece of paper, which made him lose his military power of 20.If you don't have military power, you don't have military power. If people stay at home, disasters can happen from the sky. A coal mine collapsed and a good family was torn apart. Up to now, the husband and wife and a pair of children are separated from each other. Family happiness is so difficult.

Thinking of this, the old lady shed tears sadly.

Xiao Liu watched from the side, and said with a quick smile: "It's Chinese New Year, the old lady will say something else to make us all happy!"

The old lady also knew that it was wrong to mention Lu Yanqing on such an occasion, so she put her mind back and looked at Jin Bao who was sitting obediently beside Wen Wan, "How old is this little great-grandson?"

"It will be five years old in April this year." Wen Wan said.

"Have you ever read?"

The old lady originally wanted to say that the Lu family had family education, and if it didn't bother her, she could send Jinbao to go to school with the children of the clan. Firstly, it would be exciting, and secondly, she would also be able to take the opportunity to get close to him.

"Instead, I hired Mr. Kaimeng for him." Wen Wan said truthfully: "Let him study at home for a few years first, and then send him to the Imperial College when he is older."

"Looks like he's smart." The old lady leaned forward, touched Jinbao's little head, and praised: "In the future, he might do better in the exam than his father."

Wen Wan smiled, and didn't dare to agree to this. Song Wei is a down-to-earth and steady character. Jin Bao is currently doing everything against his father. Serious and conscientious, Jinbao has a good memory, but he doesn't like reading, and he was forced to go to school these days, otherwise he is a person who can hide from laziness and never take an extra step and say a word, usually on vacation, If there is nothing that can attract him to support him, he will just nest in the gentle room and not go anywhere.

The old lady next to him asked why Yuan Bao didn't come.

Wen Wan dazed, "He has an appointment today, he can't leave, he has already greeted us before coming."

The old lady nodded, and then asked Xiao Liu, "But Brother Bin is receiving Saburo in the main hall?"

Xiao Liushi nodded and said yes.

Jin Bao suddenly raised his head, his mouth was stuffed, and he said vaguely: "Auntie is lying, uncle has gone to another place, and Daddy is sitting alone in the main hall."

Hearing this, the old lady's expression suddenly changed.
