Chapter 94—Old Furen
婶子--Shenzi - Aunt (Father’s Younger brother’s wife)
叔叔--Shushu - Uncle (Father’s Younger Brother)
An Qingran was in full sprit up. In her previous life, her grandmother had made her suffer a lot, and when they met again in this life, there was no telling if she would improve.
Anyway counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir (idiom)(adopt measures appropriate to the actual situation)
Lian Jin Yu was a little nervous. It had been over two years since she had seen the old Madam who didn't like her before, and she didn't know how this return would be.
An Qing Ran stood by her mother's side, and behind them was a large group of family servants and maids, all of whom were holding their breath, not daring to breathe out.
Finally, a family servant ran back to report, "The old Furen is at the street corner, she will be here in a incense of time!"
An Qingran could not help but start to have heart beat faster. She began to blame herself for her failure. She began to be nervous before she saw anyone else.
Finally, several carriages entered in turn. An Zhongtao was riding in front on horse and An Zhongyuan beside him.
Lian Jinyu immediately came forward to curtain the old Madam. An Qingran followed her quietly and dignified.
The old Madam was not very old. She was in her sixties and very rich. She got out of the carriage and looked at Lian Jinyu and said, "Well, you haven't changed yet..."
She looked at An Qingran who had paid her respects, she pulled up her hand, looked at her carefully for a couple of moments, and nodded with a smile, "It is still quite beautiful ......"
Her tone was less affectionate, rather like she was commenting on a vase of flowers or something.
An Qingran smiled and said, " Haven't seen for two years my grandmother is getting younger and younger ......"
"Oh, how sweet the child's mouth is!" The old Madam laughed and said, "When at home, Ranyue also coaxes me like you... You go to see your Meimei, and your brother Mingbo is here too. In the carriage behind you, with your aunt..."
An Qingran turned to the back again. After everyone recognized her, her aunt took her hand and walked into the courtyard. "Qingran turned into a big girl. Your meimei Ranyue often mentioned you at home. Seeing you today, she compares your sister to yourself..."
She laughed.
The little girl next to her said, "Mother, I'm only a month younger than my jiejie. Do you mean I'm smaller than my jiejie?"
She jumped to An Qingran's side and looked at her hair.
The two are actually almost the same height.
This little girl with dimples is An Ranyue, a month younger than An Qingran. When she met last time, they were very familiar. She was also a talkative girl.
Obviously, she disagreed with her mother's words. She only thought that she was shorter than her, and did not think that anything else had been compared.
" Qingran meimei don't be offended. Ranyue has such a temper, she can't see others better than her!" The teenager next to her talked who look like her( shushu) uncle. In fact, he was only fourteen years old and still not older than Lian Muhan but his behaviour was rather mature. He must have received strict education at home.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Whose temper is bad? An Ranyue shouted at him domineeringly.
An Mingbo only smiled and did not care about her. An Qingran’s impression of him was better, because the last life did not have too much contact with him, so the two people basically had no grudges.
Out of this family, she had the best impression of him.
As for this little girl who was clinging to her, a cold smile flashed through her heart. She had not been able to settle her score with her in her previous life, but in this life, she had come to door herself ,She would like to see how strong she was.
"Qingran, don't bother with your Meimei. She's spoiled by me..." My aunt laughed.
An Qingran thought to herself, she is not as simple as spoiled, she has a problem with quality.
"Jiejie, you're not angry with me, are you? When I was at home thinking about seeing you, I was so excited I couldn't sleep, I specially embroidered a scented sachet for you ...... here it is!" She said, she took out a small scented sachet from her arms, it looked very delicate, embroidered with lotus flowers, and dragonflies, it looked quite good.
An Qingran took it down: "meimei is really thoughtful..."
"Jiejie, this General's Fu is really big. I remember when I was a child, I felt that this mansion could not reach the end. Now it is big, I still think this mansion is big..." An Ranyue looked around and sighed.
The interior of the General's residence is newly decorated and naturally grand and luxurious, so it is strange that she is not surprised.
"Well, where is this big? don't know how much the imperial palace is bigger than this. When you see it, I don't know how amazed will you be!" An Qingran smiled.
"Would it be have a chance for my jiejie to show me in the imperial palace?" An Ranyue immediately came to the spirit.
An Qingran knew that she would never let go of good things and goods.
"Where can I go to the imperial palace? Besides, we will not be declared to enter the palace, until there will be major events."
"Oh, so ......" she gave up on the idea for the moment, her eyes not enough to look around usefully, and finally spoke, "Where is Yanran Meimei? Why isn't she coming to pick us up?"
She ah, she has something to do, she will come later!"
"Yanran clung to me the most when she was little, I miss her, and I don't know what she's like now ......"
An Mingbo was quiet as if he didn't exist.
An Rangyue's words were heard by the old Madam who was walking ahead, and she said to Lian Jingyu, "Yes, how come we haven't seen Jinrong and Yanran, are they hiding from us, or is there some surprise?"
An Zhongtao opened his mouth and said, "They are in Punishment. Yesterday, Son locked them up!"
"What is the reason for this? What great heaven mistakes have been made when I came back. Actually to lock them up. I believe you only because I think you rule the Mansion strictly, but I don't believe you because you have a opinion with our mothers and children!"
The old Madam was glad to see the grand reception ceremony in the General's Fu. And the ornaments and decorations that were apparently designed to welcome them . She was thinking that the son still had herself. She has a idea in her mind during this trip. If he complied with her heart, everything would be all right. If not, she would say something.
An Zhongtao immediately stood in , bowed his head and said, "Where dare son be, my mother has taught me correctly. Now son will let them come out and give filial piety to the mother. Sometimes there have to be a time when this matter of ruling the house has to be regulated."
Old Madam has a smile expression: "This is a reasonable word, I said, no matter what, you are also a general, and you can only convince people with a rational word. There are old people here, and even the education of the children has to be carried on the back, and you let me know how to train them, how can this be! It's just right to let it go! "
An Qingran's heart was filled with hatred. They had just been locked up yesterday, and they came out again today.
If I had known earlier, why would I have worked so hard.
But what could be done about it.
Fortunately, Old Madam went on, "I know you and Jinyu are filial. Look at this grand decor style, it's comfortable to watch, and it's hard for you to prepare so thoughtfully!"
"Where, it's only right to do anything for Mother!" An Zhongtao spoke up.
The old Madam's face returned to a pleasant expression: "Well, that's the most reasonable..."
