Chapter 361: Strict self-discipline, too heavy
The carriage from Shunguo Duke's Mansion appeared in front of the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion one hour later. He stopped and the Ning family servants who were guarding outside came to step on the footstool.
Yu Tingwan didn't wait for Tan Jiang to support her, so she lifted her skirt down the ground. I heard the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo shout happily before. "Nephew's wife." Yu Tingwan raised his eyes and the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo came down the steps to welcome him. Seeing this, she hurried forward: "Auntie."
"Hey."
Mrs. Ning Guohou held her hand enthusiastically and looked up and down: "I haven't seen you for a while, and you're getting better and better. It can be seen that you're lucky to return."
Yu Tingwan was shy and asked her to tease her openly, with a smile on her lips.
There are many carriages parked outside the mansion, and the guests may have arrived at this time.
Mrs. Marquis of Ning Guo is the mistress of the Ning family, and the old lady is in no way able to entertain the younger generations. There was no other female family at home to take care of her, so she shouldn't be at the door.
Yu Tingwan had this idea just after he had the idea, and the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo pulled her up the stairs. "Your grandmother sent the servants around you to ask three times. She said frankly why the wife hasn't come yet, which shows that she is worried about it. I thought I was so anxious. Although both families are in Shangjing, one is in the east and the other is in the west, and it is far away. It doesn't take some effort. In short, it's your fault, and it's also a new wife who has come into the house. My aunt always leads you to recognize the way." "I'm home this time, I can't see you."
As she said, she said again. "You are relieved when you come. Go to your grandmother's place to sit and talk to her. The girl who comes here today is about the same age as you, and you will help you turn around."
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.
Yu Tingwan felt that she did have this responsibility.
She is really kind!
Yu Tingwan nodded: "Yeah."
Mrs. Ningguo Hou sent her to Mrs. Ning's yard and went to Xiyuan in a breeze.
She is versatile and has made arrangements, not to mention that she clearly says she will pick up her nephew's wife, but the ladies don't feel embarrassed to be left behind.
The yard where the old lady lives faces north and south, towering ancient trees and drooping eaves.
The woman respectfully lifted the pearl curtain and asked her to enter.
Lady Ning was half lying on the imperial concubine's couch, wearing auspicious clouds and cranes on her forehead, and the servants beating her legs and rubbing her shoulders. She was closing her eyes to take a nap.
Yu Tingwan was afraid of disturbing her, so he didn't know if he should ask for peace for a moment.
At this moment, the slave beside the old lady stopped to pay her respects. The most shameless woman bent down and whispered softly to the old lady. "Huh? Guizhi's wife is here?"
Lady Ning was woken up and smiled when she opened her eyes to see Yu Tingwan. "This person is old, and somehow he fell asleep. He should help him get old." This is what the woman said.
Yu Tingwan was blessed and took the gift box from behind Tan Jiang: "My mother is thinking about her grandmother. Not long ago, I just received a few boxes of ambergris to calm the spirit and drive away evil spirits, and let the younger generation send it."
Mrs. Ning snorted coldly. "If she really cares about it, why don't she see me in person today?" "I don't go out all day long. If I don't know, I think someone in her room is locked." Mrs. Ning said this, but she winked at the old lady.
The woman stepped forward, took the gift box with both hands respectfully, and asked the slave to serve tea. "I heard that you are studying at the housekeeper for these days. How have you learned?" Yu Tingwan thought Mrs. Ning was going to take the exam for her.
But I didn't want to hear a sentence in the next moment. "You have a cold face all day long. Su Chan is stern and extremely difficult to serve. You kid's life is probably not easy."
"It's hard for you."
"Grandma turned around and talked about her."
But she didn't make sure she could speak.
Yu Tingwan:? ? ?
She said truthfully, "It's actually okay."
When she first learned to be a housekeeper, her desk was neat and she had nothing to eat except for the account book, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Yu Tingwan took it himself at first, sometimes walnuts and sometimes peanuts.
At first, Ning Suchan would still scold her with a calm face, scolding her for not being attentive and having no rules.
But she was so thick-skinned.
I will also bribe and give Ning Suchan some.
Over time, it became.
——"No more."
——"No next time."
——"Yu, you eat a lot, so why don't you go out and eat."
To the end.
Now every time I pass, there is always a plate of exquisite snacks on the desk.
Lady Ning didn't believe it.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
She had a bad look, and wherever her eyes reached, there would be a heavy shadow when it was far away, but her heart was clear and clear.
"Don't say good things to her. How can I not know what kind of temperament she is?"
"It's too heavy to be strict with yourself."
She couldn't be considered heavy, but she was filled with endless sorrow. "No one is now. I am pure and have few desires, but I am alive, but my heart will die long ago." Mrs. Ning supported the couch with one hand and wanted to stand up. But she has poor legs and feet, and it is very difficult.
The old lady was about to step forward, but Yu Tingwan was quick-eyed and quickly helped her.
Mrs. Ning smiled and patted her hands: "Child, help grandma to the window. There is a cypress tree there planted by your grandfather during his lifetime. It is still lush now."
As she said that, she held everyone away. "Everyone retreat."
The woman said, "Yes."
The woman took the servants serving in the house to salute, and when she passed by Tan Jiang, she pulled her.
Tan Jiang did not move at all. Seeing Yu Tingwan nodded slightly, she left respectfully.
Mrs. Ning saw it and smiled a little stronger.
When the doorman was covered and there were only two people left in the room, she stood in front of the window and went to see outside.
The light is bright, and it leaves mottled light and shadow on the ground through the branches and leaves.
She still remembers the scene where her husband led a pair of children to plant cypress trees here.
At that time, his son was ten years old, and Su Chan was only six years old.
The husband held the hoe and rolled his sleeves upwards, teaching them how to shovel the soil and dig holes, without any arrogance as an official.
It is said that the Ning family has been officials for generations, but we cannot forget the difficulties of the people and farmers below.
Su Chan was a small ball at that time and squatted aside and watched. She didn't know if she understood it or not, but secretly grabbed the mud with her hands and giggled.
But just one stick of incense, many people came to the palace.
The father-in-law beside the late emperor received the imperial edict.
Teaching the nanny stood behind her father-in-law in palace outfit, and seeing Su Chan's dirty face suddenly became cold.
Lady Ning: "Your mother-in-law was also naughty when she was young."
She said in the most ordinary voice: "I think she is good everywhere. She was still joking with your grandfather at that time. Among the young men in Beijing, I like the second son of the Duke Shun Mansion the most. She has been talented since she was a child, and I don't know if she has the chance to get a relative."
"It's a pity that when she was six years old, she was favored by the royal family and gave her marriage to the current emperor."
Yu Tingwan raised his eyes in shock.
She has never heard of it.
I don't know if this is the case...
In just a moment, she was already thinking a lot.
Lady Ning: "Accidentally, I will tell you this?"
Yu Tingwan admitted: "Yes."
