Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet
Chapter 23: Zhenguogong Mansion
When Lin Wan got off the car, the old lady was already smiling enthusiastically. When she saw Lin Wan, she said, "This is the young lady, right?"
Xiao turned around and motioned Lin Wan to come forward, holding Lin Wan's hand and smiling, "Yes, this is my daughter-in-law Lin."
Then he said to Lin Wan, "This is Mrs. Qiao who is beside Mrs. Lu."
Mother Qiao looked at the smiling Lin Wan and sized her up with kindness in her eyes. "I think the young lady's demeanor is very similar to your demeanor when you were young. Madam, you are so lucky!"
Mother Qiao praised both Lin Wan and Xiao in one sentence. Seeing Xiao holding Lin Wan's hand affectionately, she realized that Xiao was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
As expected, Mrs. Xiao couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. "I said that I liked this girl the first time I met her. I liked her right away! She's smart and capable, and I couldn't wait to marry her. Now, I treat her as my own daughter."
When Mother Qiao saw this, she knew she was right and praised her repeatedly: "As soon as I met you, I felt that the young lady had an extraordinary temperament. Her face shows that she is suitable for a family and is very rich!"
"Mom, you're too kind. I don't deserve it. It's all because of your good teaching." Lin Wan said politely with a blushing face.
"Yes, yes, please come in quickly, our wife is in a hurry."
Mother Qiao and a group of maids welcomed Xiao and Lin Wan into the mansion.
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is more than twice as large as the Marquis' Mansion, but its overall style is similar to that of the Marquis' Mansion, both of which are solemn and grand.
After passing through several corridors and round doors and entering the inner courtyard, you will see a large garden consisting of two ponds, one large and one small, and rockery pavilions.
After passing through the garden, we arrived at the courtyard where the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo lived.
At this moment, the courtyard gate was wide open, and many maids were standing in the courtyard. When the maid guarding outside the curtain of the main room saw Xiao and his friends, she smiled and lifted the thick cotton curtain and said, "The Marquis's wife is here, please come in."
As Lin Wan approached the door, she felt a warm and fragrant breeze blowing towards her.
As soon as she entered the door, she felt her feet go soft. Lin Wan looked down and found that there was a thick carpet and a warm heating system. Her feet felt warm as she walked.
Xiao was sweating due to the heating in the room. A maid came forward and took off their outer cloaks. They felt much more comfortable after putting on thin jackets.
"Jin Huan, you are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time."
A beautiful woman of similar age to Xiao came out hastily from the main room, wearing a royal blue brocade dress embroidered with peonies.
She had a ruddy complexion, and wore a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade. A Hetian jade Buddha was hanging from a long necklace on her chest, and a green jade bracelet hung on her wrist.
So rich and powerful!
Even when Lin Wan was a noble lady in her previous life, she rarely saw such an aura of wealth and nobility.
But more importantly, this air of wealth and nobility did not make people feel the slightest bit uncomfortable, but instead complemented Mrs. Lu's temperament.
Living in a good place nourishes the spirit, being rich nourishes the body. Lin Wan now understands what it means to be naturally rich.
"Hui Xin!" When Mrs. Xiao saw the person coming, she walked forward excitedly and grabbed Mrs. Lu's hand.
"You missed me so much. You said you accompanied the Duke to the south to look for a famous doctor. You were gone for a year and now you are finally back."
"I'm back, I missed you too!"
"How is your Duke's health?"
"Much better. That famous doctor is indeed very skilled. We have been there for more than half a year, and now the Duke can ride a horse and shoot arrows."
The two chatted and laughed, then walked into the inner room hand in hand and sat down.
Lin Wan followed behind and saw a lady about her age and a slightly younger woman standing in the room.
After Madam Xiao and Madam Lu sat down, Lin Wan heard the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo ask, "I heard that there was a wedding in your mansion a while ago. Is this Tingxu's new wife?"
Lin Wan immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Greetings to the Madam."
Lu Huixin stared at Lin Wan for a long time, with inquiry and curiosity in her eyes, as well as a bit of the oppressive feeling that only comes from a superior.
"Yes, her name is Lin Wan, and she is the second daughter of the Lin family, the Minister of Rites. I am so lucky to have married a good daughter-in-law!"
Xiao pointed at Lin Wan and introduced her to Lu, praising her generously.
"You didn't come back for their wedding, so today I brought her here for you to meet her. Don't forget to give her a gift!"
Xiao did not hide his love for Lin Wan in his words, and even asked for a gift when they met.
The people in the room had different expressions.
The young lady at the side looked at Lin Wan with a smile, her eyes full of curiosity and love. On the contrary, the younger lady glanced at Lin Wan, lowered her head and pursed her lips.
Lin Wan blushed and said, "My mother always praises her daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law's face is so red that it's almost hotter than the floor heater in this room."
"Why are you shy? I'm speaking the truth." Xiao laughed.
Mrs. Lu listened to her friend's words and saw that Lin Wan behaved in a measured manner, was neither arrogant nor impatient, and showed her dignified demeanor when she spoke. She began to like her more. "Okay, okay, you're showing off to me. Who doesn't have a good daughter-in-law?"
Then he said to the young woman standing beside him: "Sui Ning, go and get the jewelry I prepared. Don't let your aunt rush me again."
The young woman named Suining came over with a brocade box in her hand and handed it to Lin Wan, saying with a smile, "Mother has prepared it a long time ago. Aunt, please don't misunderstand Mother."
Xiao said to Lu cheerfully, "It's terrible. I won't dare tease you again. Your daughter-in-law is helping you!"
Lu nodded and she smiled.
Xiao smiled at Lu and said, "Where is your precious grandson?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a child crying was heard in the compartment.
"Oh, you heard me talking about him!"
After a while, a wet nurse came over holding a little boy who was less than a year old. Lu and Xiao immediately surrounded him and coaxed and played with the child.
Li Suining, who was standing with Lin Wan, had been staring at the child since he came out, not daring to look away.
"Sister-in-law, is this your little grandson?"
Lin Wan asked.
Li Suining came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Yes, this is my child, his nickname is Qian Ge'er."
At this time, Mrs. Lu was holding the child and said to Lin Wan, "Wan'er, come over and hug me too."
Lin Wan responded and stepped forward, carefully holding the child. Her movements were a little stiff, and the child kept moving. She asked nervously, "Sister-in-law, is this how you hold the child?"
Seeing this, Li Suining hurried forward to help her adjust her posture. Under her guidance, Lin Wan managed to hold the child with difficulty.
"Look at how flustered you are. You are still young after all."
"Wan'er, hug me more. Maybe Guanyin will give you a big fat boy in the future." Mrs. Lu joked.
Xiao knew her son was unreliable and was afraid that Lin Wan would feel uncomfortable. She changed the subject: "Wan'er, you and Sui Ning can go to the cubicle to play with the child for a while. I will have a good chat with your aunt Lu."
Lin Wan and Li Suining responded and went to the compartment. As soon as they entered, Lin Wan handed the child to Li Suining's arms.
"Oh, this child still loves his mother. He is still looking at his sister-in-law eagerly in my arms."
Li Suining held the child with a happy face and couldn't help kissing his little face.
"Be good, Qian, mom is here."
