Foster son and husband

Chapter 5
When Qin Meiniang was woken up, it was just dawn, and the room was still lit. Mother Wang and Cuixi Cuisi had already surrounded the bed waiting for her to get up. When she touched her side, the little guy who was sleeping with her arms around her last night was gone, and said in surprise :
"Where's my son?"

Mama Wang said: "Nurse takes brother Heng away, grandma just get up!"

Qin Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief, twisted a few times in the quilt, stretched her waist, and hummed in pain: "Good mother! It's still early, let me sleep again..."

Is it easy to be a grandma in ancient times, and you don’t have to go to work, so you can sleep late, right?

"No way, grandma!" Mother Wang came up and put up the tent: "Last night, Master Hou told you to get up early to greet the old lady. You can't go if you don't go. Just now Cuisi went to see, and the lights on Master Hou's side are already on. I have to go to the room too, grandma has to hurry up and go with Lord Hou!"

Lord Hou was willing to come to grandma's room last night and explained it in such a detailed manner, it was obvious that he was very concerned about how people around him viewed the matter of grandma's death and resurrection.Hou Ye always valued face, and the indifference between Grandma and Grandma was so indifferent, he still cared about the etiquette of husband and wife, and insisted on visiting his sick wife every day, giving people a feeling of harmony between husband and wife, Grandma died of illness, as a murderer on the battlefield Well, a cold-blooded general who is used to seeing casualties, he didn't shed a single tear, and didn't show any sadness. That's perfectly normal, and no one will gossip about it.And the eldest grandma has improved so much, she has forgotten everything before, and she is not afraid of Lord Hou at all. The Lord Hou has nothing to do with her, and Mama Wang is not stupid, how could she not think of a turning point here?
Since she doesn't remember the past, just treat her as if she didn't have the past!

Ms. Wang made up her mind: try to persuade Grandma to be respectful and gentle to Lord Hou, and obey her words. In this way, Lord Hou has no reason to treat grandma lightly. Then at least the life in Hou's mansion will not be as sad as before!

Qin Meiniang opened her eyes: "Master Hou, is he up yet?"

"Should have woken up. Lord Hou has been in the army for many years. He has always done things neatly and has no patience to wait for others. Grandma, get up quickly!"

Qin Meiniang took a deep breath, Heng'er's father, that handsome and indifferent man who didn't talk much, always gave her a kind of pressure invisibly, as if she owed him something, so she had to be a little jealous of him, isn't it husband and wife? After being married for just over a year, he gave birth to a fat boy in his first child. He should be very happy and love her very much. Why does he always give her such an embarrassing face?

well!Who cares, I knew that men were superior to women in ancient times, what kind of husband's guideline and father's guideline killed people, and now I can't offend this husband. I'm new here, this world is too strange, I have to grab him as a backer first, a prince and general, he was arrested at a young age Entitled Marquis of Weiyuan, he is not an ordinary honorable person. To be attached to him, she has the status of a royal wife, and her social status is high, at least she has no worries about food and clothing.For Heng'er, for yourself, just be obedient, and let's figure out what to do in the future.

Counting to three in her heart, she turned over and got up, she was not used to spitting mouthwash into the copper basin in front of the maids, put on her outer robe, and went to the inner room to wash herself.

Mother Wang urged Cuixi to try to comb Mei Niang's hair as quickly as possible, her hands trembled, and she combed it into a complicated updo, who knew that Mei Niang didn't like it, so she wanted to remove it and do another one, Cui Xi Glancing at Mama Wang, she said softly:

"Master Hou is afraid that I will be impatient to wait. Grandma used to wear this bun before!"

Mei Niang refused: "Isn't it boring to always wear one style? Change it!"

Cui Lian made up the bed, and hurried over: "I'll make a different comb for grandma!"

She rubbed some sweet-scented osmanthus oil on her hands, her hands and feet were nimble, and soon she combed into a refreshing and beautiful flying fairy bun. Meiniang was very satisfied, so she chose a few exquisite and luxurious jewelry to wear, and put on a big red embroidered golden silk begonia Satin wadding slim fit mid-jacket, paired with an apricot-colored Yao Ling eight-piece skirt, gold bracelets and jadeite jade bracelets on the left and right wrists, and a gold necklace with eight treasures on the neck, full of jewels and brilliance. People, delicate and seductive.

Ms. Wang asked Cuisi to come and visit, and calculated the time accurately. Then she helped Meiniang out of the door. Xu Junying just passed by, stopped, and after she saluted and greeted, she led the way out. Wang Mama and the maids peeped at his expression, secretly relieved, and hurriedly helped Mei Niang to follow behind.

After leaving the gate, Meiniang didn't want Cuisi to help her, she hurried a few steps and caught up with Xu Junying, but Xu Junying walked faster, thick-soled rhinoceros leather boots stepped on the snow, making a chirping sound, Meiniang wore a pair of small Exquisite sheepskin boots, walking in style, when he is not paying attention, loves to walk on loose snowdrifts that no one has stepped on, quietly, it feels very fun, the city where she lived in her previous life rarely snowed, such thick snow I can't enjoy it, I'm really not reconciled.

Halfway there, I suddenly thought of my son: "Oh, we didn't bring Heng'er with us!"

Xu Junying frowned and said: "How could Heng'er wake up so early? The nanny will bring him later, we have to go to the grandmother's room first, wait for the grandmother to wake up, and accompany her to have breakfast at the old man's house."

"Grandma isn't up yet?"

"should not."

"Then we go so early, don't we want to sit and wait in vain?"

Xu Junying glanced at her: "That's how it should be! As the eldest grandson's wife, you should go in and help your grandmother to wash and wash - didn't you do it before?"

Mei Niang lowered her eyes, it would be great if she could remember a little bit of things from the past.

"You really don't remember anything?" The corners of Xu Junying's lips raised slightly, showing a sarcastic smile, but it was also seductive.

Mei Niang's long eyelashes blinked: "Back to life, I can't remember the past! Mama Wang said that I was sick for a month, and I was so sorry that Lord Hou was worried. I couldn't help myself when I was sick. If there is any disrespect, I hope the Marquis will take care of it!"

Xu Junying turned her face slightly, looked coldly at Wang Mama, Cuixi and the others who were following more than ten steps away, and snorted softly, Qin Meiniang's dowry, everyone is a fine person, the front side, the back side, every time I see you Seeing him is like a mouse meeting a cat, when he doesn't know that they have ghosts in their hearts.If Qin Meiniang really doesn't remember anything, then will they learn to behave better?
The reason for insisting on marrying Qin Meiniang is because of her youthful nature. She is so beautiful, who doesn't admire her, who doesn't want to take it for herself?He thought it was a blessing, but he didn't expect it to be a shame for his whole life!

But how could he let people see such a scandal?The title earned by his father, the honor he defended with his life, and the Xu family's clean reputation for generations must not be destroyed!
Qin Meiniang's sudden illness and death is actually the best ending, it's all over, clean and tidy.

Therefore, he was willing to give her the most solemn and luxurious funeral, making all the women in the capital envy her and envy her, so she was not satisfied and came back again.

But he forgot all about the past and stood in front of him like a blank sheet of paper.

Xu Junying looked at Meiniang again, her gaze was indifferent and cold: Everything can be forgotten and covered up, but how can the truth be obliterated?Time can't be repeated, and he is no longer the same Xu Junying and Qin Meiniang as before, so he can't hold back his thoughts!
His life trajectory will find another way, and he will not lack any of what he should have and enjoy in life!

Ning Rulan had already been waiting in the corridor of the old lady's bedroom. Seeing Xu Junying and Mei Niang approaching, she hurriedly smiled and greeted her. Ru Lan and Mei Niang's sister-in-law talk freely.

Sure enough, the patriarchal concept has been deeply rooted since ancient times. After asking An to say hello, Xu Junying can leave easily, but Qin Meiniang wants to stay, and together with Ning Rulan, stand obediently beside the old lady and serve her. She ate breakfast slowly, and the two of them could sit down to eat when the old lady was full. If it wasn't for seeing Ning Rulan eating with gusto, Mei Niang might have been wronged—although the table was full of rich food, it was so beautiful. Sounds good, isn't this a beggar who eats leftovers?Since she was a child, she has never been treated like this. Who doesn't love her?Who would be willing to let her be the last to eat?

The old lady of the Xu family, that's the case, Ning Rulan and her were the ones who came to greet her, and the old lady was reluctant to let them eat together.One of the two wives was sick and the other was suffering from dizziness, so naturally they didn't come. The weather was too cold, and the girls were told not to come to the room to say hello, lest they freeze.Thinking about it, she doesn't have to come, isn't she just "dead" and came back to life?No vitality or anything recovered!
However, listening to what Xu Junying and Wang Mama said is always true, she should come!

Qin Meiniang was thinking about her thoughts while eating snacks bite by bite. She didn't even notice that everyone in the room, including the girl and mother-in-law, were all focused on her. When she woke up, she found a whole plate of twelve assorted small She ate up the steamed buns.

She stood there holding up her chopsticks in a daze: old problem, old problem, opening her stomach to eat when she was concentrating on something, it was nothing in the previous life, no one would laugh at it, but this was in ancient times, the daughter-in-law of a big house in feudal society, eating It's too embarrassing to eat like a man in front of so many people!

Mei Niang blushed and stammered to Ning Rulan, "Yes, I'm sorry Third Mistress, I, I ate up the little buns, you didn't taste them!"

Ning Rulan swallowed a mouthful of warm soup, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law has been ill for so long, and she has been unable to eat food. Now that she is recovering, her appetite really increases! Don't worry about me, I eat every day, sister-in-law slowly Eat, don't just eat, this shrimp dumpling is also delicious, come and try it!"

She used her serving chopsticks to pick up a shrimp dumpling and put it on the plate in front of Meiniang, but Meiniang resisted the hiccups, waved her hand and said, "Thank you, third grandma, but I have had enough, you can use it slowly! "

Speaking of getting up and leaving the table, the old lady sat on the warm couch and looked at her all the time. At this time, she smiled and said kindly:

"Meiniang, it's a blessing to be able to eat. It's so cold, eat more to keep you warm."

Mei Niang walked up to the old lady and said with a smile: "Thank you grandma for the snacks, granddaughter-in-law is ready!"

Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "Come here, let me see, your skin seems to be brighter and ruddy than before!"

Mei Niang walked over and asked Mrs. Xu to hold her hand and rub it back and forth.

"Well, this hand is warm and soft, I think it's because the bones of the body are really good!" said the old lady.

Ji's mother laughed beside her and said, "Look at Grandma's complexion, you can tell by the momentum of her walk, her body has become stronger!"

The old lady nodded her head: "You have to feed it, you have to cherish your blessings, you have a good appetite, and you can't eat too much at one time, take your time!"

"Yes! The granddaughter-in-law follows the teachings of her grandmother."

Mei Niang blushed, not wanting everyone to be affected by her accidental increased appetite, she smiled and said to the old lady:

"Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law, give you a squeeze on your shoulders and tell a joke to help you digest it?"

The old lady Xu laughed and said, "Look! Meiniang can also tell jokes, what a surprise!"

Mei Niang said: "My daughter-in-law can tell a few jokes, but everyone was here before, so I didn't dare to talk nonsense. Today, only the third grandma and I are in front of grandma. If you don't speak well, the third grandma will not look down on me. , Grandmother naturally takes care of me more, so I'm not afraid to try."

The old lady smiled and said: "Let's talk about it, it's okay or not, but you squeezed my shoulders, I couldn't sleep well last night, my neck is so stiff, and my back is a little uncomfortable!"

Mei Niang responded, and with the help of Ji's mother, she took off her boots and got on the couch, knelt behind the old lady, while performing the acupoint-exploring massage technique she had learned in her previous life, pinching the old lady until she hummed, while talking about children's stories The golden steel gourd baby, laughing is not necessarily funny, but the fairy tales fascinated the whole room. How can we find out whether she is telling a joke or something.

Meiniang looked at the old lady like that, and had expected her to have a mild stiff neck. This Meiniang knew how to do it. In her previous life, her uncle was a massage expert in the hospital. Meiniang's grandmother was in poor health and was bedridden all year round. She originally learned massage and massage to serve As a result, grandma unknowingly learned all kinds of skills from my uncle.

It is said that one mind should not be used for two purposes, but Mei Niang used it this time. While telling the story, she paid attention to the expression of the old lady, and at the same time, the hands that lightly rubbed the old lady's neck and shoulders suddenly held her head firmly. , twisting and turning, only heard a slight clicking sound, before everyone reacted, the old lady yelled, turned her neck left and right, and smiled easily:
"Meiniang, where did you learn this skill? I'm all right now, very comfortable!"

Mei Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "Granddaughter-in-law used to know it at her mother's house, and granddaughter-in-law's grandmother often had this kind of discomfort, so granddaughter-in-law would accompany grandma and massage for the elderly when she has nothing to do!"

The old lady became more comfortable and joyful, and took her hand: "It's rare that you have filial piety, and you will often be in front of grandma and rub it for grandma in the future. Your little hand is what I like the most, but others can't, no If it's too vigorous, even if it's too soft and boring at all, it's still Mei Niang who can do it!"

Mei Niang smiled, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There are so many people and things, and various relationships in this big family. It is impossible for her to get everything right in a short time.In the past, Qin Meiniang was not sociable, she only lived in her own little corner, she had no connections, so she had to start from scratch.Last night, Mama Wang talked with Cuixi and the others for a long time. She only thought of the simplest one: Weiyuan Marquis Xu Junying has a high title in this mansion, but the highest authority in the family is the old lady. If she wants to gain a firm foothold Well, apart from fawning over Xu Junying, the most important thing is this old grandmother. As long as she is well coaxed, other things should be easier to handle.
