From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 258

I wanted to say don't waste your time and energy, but there was another Magnolia standing next to her.Some spectators gathered at the door at some point, Mei Xin didn't want to say too much, lest it spread bad news.

A mouthful of old blood pooled in his chest, which almost took Shangguan Xinrou's breath away.Her mother's illness was just an excuse to take their mother and daughter out.Fortunately, she invited the imperial physician to treat her without saying a word.

Who is the imperial doctor? He is a person who may not be able to win over with money and can also see the sky. If the news about his mother pretending to be sick is spread, it will ruin the reputation of the Shangguan family.

Scholars in Qinggui family value face the most, not to mention her father Shangguan Zhe is a famous scholar, if this is publicized, where will the face of her father and brothers be put?
There were blue veins on her forehead, but she couldn't swear like she was at home.The hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly, and she squeezed out a smile and gritted her teeth and said, "Mother knows you are filial, but your grandmother has a chronic problem. Every year when the weather turns cold, you will get sick, so there is no need to trouble the doctor..."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Luo opened the box that the soldiers had brought out before. Shangguan Xinrou saw that it was either ginseng bird's nest or other expensive tonics, and shut his mouth in a daze.

Mei Xin saw that she was stunned, and smiled slightly: "These are the tonics given to my daughter by the emperor and empress. My grandmother is ill, and my daughter is unable to visit her at the funeral. I also ask my mother to bring these things back. They are also my daughter's. A piece of filial piety."

After finishing speaking, Yun Luo waved his big hand and ordered people to load them into their carriage.

Bai Yulan saw Shangguan Xinrou's complexion was unkind, and she spoke in a tone of gnashing of teeth, knowing that this was a lawsuit between mother and daughter.He raised his voice and said: "I have long heard that the Eldest Princess is filial, but I never thought that she would be so caring about her grandmother. The princess is really lucky, my son is absolutely incomparable."

Not only is it not as good as the one Buddha born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven every day, but she has the means, patience, mastered his weaknesses, and knows how to deal with him, he would have been like a runaway wild horse. went.

"Ma'am, it's absurd. I have been in Liangzhou for many years and have been leading the army to fight. I didn't dare to leave the army without a transfer order. I can only send some things to my grandfather's house every year during the holidays. Speaking of which, I have grown so old. Kowtow to grandma, and when I see her later, I will kowtow to grandma personally to make amends." After speaking, Mei Xin smiled and turned her head to look at Li Shi and Wang Shi in the carriage.

Seeing the frowns of the two of them involuntarily, she knew that she had achieved her goal.When she was young, Mei Zhannan would always think about the Shangguan's house when sending New Year's gifts back to Beijing, and when she started to suppress bandits and had money, she would also give it.Moreover, she has never been pulled down for a year, but Shangguan Xinrou never said it.

Mrs. Li is stingy and stingy, while Mrs. Wang loves to take advantage of petty advantages. In addition, Shangguan's family is all scholars and not rich.Therefore, when they were suspicious after hearing this, they would definitely ask Shangguan Xinrou.

Shangguan Xinrou is the youngest daughter in the family, and she is deeply loved by Shangguan Zhe and his wife.It can be said that she is born with arrogance, but she has always been a fake and noble person. It doesn't matter what she is willing to give you. If you rush to ask her or even question her, you will definitely annoy her.

Li Shi is as timid as a mouse and may not say anything, but Wang Shi is not a good scoundrel, especially since she is aggressive herself, she has no taboos when she speaks and scolds others.There was already some rift between the aunts and sisters-in-law, if there was a quarrel at this time, one can imagine the situation of Shangguan Xinrou.

A sister-in-law who has no use value and will not bring any benefits to herself, will they really protect her like they are now?

"Liangzhou is bitter and cold, but it is rich in beautiful jade. My grandfather and two uncles are modest and gentlemen, and they especially like jade. Over the years, I have given a few large boxes of jade, and I don't know if my uncles like it. Last time I heard that my uncle likes to drink wine. , so I brought a few jars back from Liangzhou, and my mother brought them back and gave them to uncle for me."

Before the voice fell, Yunluo brought another small wooden box, opened it for everyone to see, she put it directly in front of Shangguan Xinrou and said: "The wine jar is easy to rot, the princess has helped it."

Looking at Mei Xin who was smiling but had a hideous face, Shangguan Xin tenderly pinched the flesh in his palm to bleed.I feel that she is very strange, and it seems that she is not the little girl who wrote to herself and called her mother. She smiled and said: "It's rare that you are filial, but it's a pity that your uncle has given up drinking now. This wine is still... ..."

Before finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang reached out and carried the wine jar into the carriage.

There is a lot of wine in this jar, at least it costs a hundred taels of silver, don't want it for nothing, if her husband doesn't drink it, she can take it out for silver.

Unexpectedly, the little sister-in-law would dismantle her on the stage. Guan Xinrou's face was full of astonishment. She was dumbfounded when she suddenly remembered that she was greedy for petty gains, and her gums itched with anger.

What else can I say after taking all the money in, Shangguan Xinrou suppressed his anger and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying and said: "It's late today, my mother is still waiting at home, so I won't talk to my wife anymore, Go first!"

After finishing speaking, she was afraid that Mei Xin would say something disgusting to her, so she turned her head and went in.

He put down the curtain of the carriage and closed the door, knocked lightly on the body of the carriage, and the coachman who was driving jumped on it.As soon as the whip was raised, the wheels of the car rang, and the group of them left after a while.

Finally sending away the person who disgusted her, Mei Xin secretly let out a sigh of relief.Finding that Bai Yulan was still standing and had no intention of leaving, she asked very politely: "Moving is the most trivial and tiring thing, I wonder if Madam's house has been tidied up?"

Bai Yulan, who is so delicate, will not be able to tell that she is seeing off guests, but if she is on weekdays, she will definitely say: No, I will go back first, and please come to my house for a while after packing.

But she came here to make friends, to see her eldest grandson, and if she hasn't achieved her goal, she can just leave like this.So, I pretended not to know, and said with a stern face: "I'm worried, the weather is gloomy and it's going to snow. The Hou Mansion where I used to live is going to be repaired. If the snow is heavy, I'm afraid it will be crushed. By the way, you Haven't had dinner yet, there is a Jiangnan restaurant on Ginkgo Street, all Jiangnan snacks. I asked someone to book a table, let's eat together. It happens that your mother and your sister are not here, so let's make a treat for each other with."

Speaking of this, the smiling face instantly changed, and she said with a sad and pitiful look: "You don't know, I am most afraid of eating alone. I didn't feel it when I was accompanied by the empress in the past. Since she entered the Gong, my youngest son won’t be home sooner or later, so I’m the only one left at the dinner table. I don’t feel like eating all day, alas, I don’t know what to eat.”
