10. Chapter 10 Greetings to the old lady
The group left Zihua Courtyard and walked towards the old lady's Wutong Courtyard.
Zihua Courtyard is located to the west of the entire Hou Mansion inner courtyard, while the old lady’s Wutong Courtyard is located in the northeast. It will take at least two quarters of an hour to pass through Zihua Courtyard.
This also gave An Xixi the opportunity to observe the Hou's Mansion.
An Xixi used to be in the special agent team, and when she was on vacation, she would go around. She had visited some ancient palaces and gardens, which were roughly similar to the Jingguo Marquis Mansion I saw now. Judging from the architectural style and environment here, this place should belong to the Central Plains region.
When they walked to Wutongyuan, they heard the laughter and joy coming from inside.
Yu had not set foot here for many years, and now she came here, she couldn't help but feel like she was a different life. She turned her head and looked at her daughter who was as tall as hers, and her heart was filled with comfort and strength. No matter what happens in the future, as long as her daughter is well, she will be content.
An Xixi felt Yu's gaze, nodded to her, and said softly: "Don't worry."
An Xixi didn't take all of the Marquis's wife seriously. She didn't plan to waste time in such useless places for the rest of her life. But now, she still has a lot of unknowns about this world, and she has to make long-term plans for what she wants to do.
The comfort of her daughter made Yu feel her nose sore, but this was outside the old lady's Wutong Courtyard. She could not lose her manners and could not hold back her tears. She had been waiting for so many years, and finally she had the hardships and sorrows. For her, nothing is more important than her daughter.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the yard, a maid came in to report, but no one came out to greet them. The laughter they had heard seemed to come to an abrupt end the moment they entered the door.
After entering the hall, Yu came forward to salute Lin: "My daughter-in-law is paying homage to her mother."
An Xiguai glanced at Yingying Yanyan in the room. On the embroidery collapse above, she was sitting an old lady with kind eyebrows, holding a boy of four or five years old. Next to her were two maids who were waiting, and two more decent women. On the soft chairs on both sides were sitting, there were several girls of all sizes, and there were more than twenty women in the room. An Xiguai looked dizzy.
Lin looked at Yu, and after a while, he said, "Sit down."
She didn't expect that Yushi, who had been in a closed door for so many years, would come to her Wutong Courtyard. When she thought of her daughter-in-law, she was so angry that she had a quarrel with the Marquis's wife. She hid in her yard for many years and did not leave. She also gave birth to a foolish daughter. The whole Marquis' Mansion was completely disgraced by her. But she was the princess of the Jade Kingdom, with golden branches and jade leaves. Although the Jade Kingdom is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the two countries are allies. If something really happens, the current emperor will definitely intervene. Their Jingguo Marquis' Mansion also needs shame and cannot expose family affairs to the court.
Lin suppressed the depression in his heart, his eyes fell on his granddaughter who was said to have been well, and he smiled and waved to An Xigu: "Nine Girls come to my grandmother's place."
An Xixi glanced at her mother who was about to speak, but walked towards the old lady.
Lin took An Xiguin's hand: "In this blink of an eye, the Nine Girls have grown up so big. It's time to go to the ward next month. Then, I'll ask your sister-in-law to do this and the ward ceremony for you."
As he said that, he took off a bracelet with gold wire inlaid jade on his hand and put it on An Xigui.
Chapter completed!
