Chapter 83 The Old Lady with a Clear Mirror
The old lady was not in a good mood at the moment. It was not that she blamed Tang Mo and Xin An in her heart, but that the old man only kept a woman outside besides her when he was alive. It was much better than those who had to keep a new one when they moved to a new place to fight. She was just dissatisfied with the old man's belief that she would not tolerate a bastard and would do something shady, so she was on guard against her everywhere.
You think too much of her.
Tang Gang even learned this, which makes me upset just thinking about it.
Xin An made the right bet again and stood up. "My cousin's wife sent me a basket of grapes some time ago. They were cultivated by her father, Lord Gu. She said that the grapes grown by Lord Gu were highly praised by the emperor. I think they are really delicious. My cousin's wife said that she left a few bunches on the vine for my grandmother. She wanted to give them to my grandmother but was afraid that she would not like them."
The old lady smiled and said, "Since she is so kind, let her send it. I will also try the grapes that the emperor said were good."
Xin An nodded happily, and after saying a few more words, he left with his people. Gan Lu went forward to change the tea for the old lady, and couldn't help but say, "You are too kind-hearted. I hope the second young master's wife understands your painstaking efforts."
The old lady touched her face and said, "I am biased because I don't give the second kid any connections. If he wants to get ahead, he has to work hard on his own. Look at the two families I just mentioned. They are the ones his father doesn't want to make friends with. It's not easy for the second kid and his wife."
"It seems that the second kid suffered a loss in the marriage exchange, but in fact, he got a bargain. How much help can this young wife help him?"
After all, she has experience with age, and she can see things clearly. The old lady picked up the tea and blew on it twice, "This young couple is so fond of my treasures that they didn't hide them at all. You remember, when they first came to pay their respects to me, the girl's eyes widened when she saw the furnishings in my room, and she looked like she was intoxicated by the treasures. It made people want to laugh."
"She took the trouble to please me, and when I was happy, I gave her two things. She was happy, and I was happy too. How could I take all these things to the underworld?"
Rather than letting something be taken away by someone you don’t like, it’s better to give it to someone who can make you happy. At least you’ll be happy, right?
The old lady remembered that she still had a grandson's wife, so she called another old nanny to stay in Chunrong Hall. The nanny's surname was Sun, and she was extremely strict. In addition to helping the old lady guard Chunrong Hall, she was also the old lady's eyes and ears. All the big and small matters in the mansion were under her nose. The old lady wanted to know what happened after she was no longer in the mansion, so naturally she told her everything, no matter how big or small.
On the way back to Qiushi Courtyard, she met Wang who was returning from work. Wang guessed that Xin An had received a gift from the old lady and was very happy. Xin An took her to Qiushi Courtyard to talk and first told her about Wang You and Tang Yong. "Instead of waiting for someone to accuse me, it's better for me to say it myself. Grandmother didn't blame me and said that her affairs did not involve the younger generation."
Wang clasped her hands together and chanted Amitabha. "I have been worried about this matter these past few days. No one knows how much the old lady cares about your second uncle. I was thinking of finding a suitable time to talk to you about it."
"The Wang family is a fifth-rank Huaiyuan general after all, and they employ veterans from your grandfather's past. We should not ignore them from the perspective of morality and interests. It is not a good idea to do it secretly. It is best to do it in a clear way. Don't worry about your father. I have my own way."
Ever since the quarrel, Wang is now someone who can teach Tang Gang a lesson at any time. She has mastered the essence of taking the initiative and turning the tables. Tang Gang has no way to deal with her.
"If you have a clear path, you don't have to do it in private. You can do whatever you need openly. The only thing is that you can't let others take credit for it."
Xin An also meant this. She didn't want Tang Rong to take advantage of her hard work. "If there is a need, my mother and I will come forward together."
"Alright."
Wang is now fully supporting her daughter-in-law and her husband. Tang Gang can be blatantly partial to them, so why can't she?
"Your grandmother gave you the Topaz Peony?"
Wang stood up and took the topaz peony from the box. She looked at it over and over again with a look of curiosity. "Go to your grandmother more often and show your filial piety to her when you have nothing to do."
I have been in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years, but I didn't know that the old lady was such a generous person.
In addition to the yellow jade peony, there is also a white jade triangular thin-walled jar, also the size of a bowl. Xin An said: "The lid of this jar is taken out from the belly of the jar. Not only is it thin, but it is also carved with so many dense patterns. The jade embedded in the base below was also taken out from the lid. The craftsmanship is exquisite and ingenious."
Wang sat down and admired it slowly. "It is really a good thing. This thin-walled jar is even better than the topaz peony."
There was another thing in the box, a fish, with a white jade base and pieces of red jade on its back. The white and red jade grew together perfectly. "This fish should have been carved based on the shape of this piece of jade. Look at the orange-red tail, it looks just like a real fish."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't let go of the three treasures. Wang murmured, "If I had your grandmother's belongings, I wouldn't want to care about the outside world. I would just guard these treasures and take them out to look at them when I have nothing to do."
"But I heard that your grandmother didn't have these things at most. She had jewelry. Your grandfather brought back so many good things and treasures from his battles, and gave them all to your grandmother."
As a woman, she couldn't help but feel envious.
Xin An likes the topaz peony the most, "it looks rich and noble."
Wang asked about Xin An's preparations for the banquet. Duke Enguo was the empress dowager's mother's family. "The Zhou family has been prosperous for decades, and they have a flourishing family. Every year, they hold a banquet this month. It is considered an important event in a year for noble families. Everyone who receives an invitation will go. Your mother may not be able to take care of you when the time comes."
The banquet held by the Duke of Enguo's Mansion is called the Water Flower Banquet. As the name suggests, it invites families from all over the capital to come and admire the lotus flowers. Over the years, admiring the lotus flowers has become a trivial matter. Today, the Water Flower Banquet has become a grand event for noble families to socialize, arrange marriages, etc.
Most of the people who are usually not able to meet each other can be met at this Shuihua Banquet. Also, because the power and status of the host, Duke Enguo, are unmatched, even enemies have to smile and exchange a few words when they meet. This makes it easier to talk and do things. The banquet was very lively and bustling.
Wang was worried about Xin An. What she didn't know was that Xin An had attended the Shui Hua Banquet more than once in his previous life. It could be said that the total number of times he had attended was more than that of Wang. Naturally, there was nothing to be afraid of. "Don't worry, mother. I'm not the kind of person who likes to stick out and pick on others. I won't cause any trouble."
"Sister Yan also said that she would take me with her when the time comes."
Wang smiled and stood up. "Then I'm relieved. The women of the Marquis's residence will go with us. Ask your maid to prepare two more sets of clothes, and also prepare cosmetics and jewelry, so as to avoid any accidents and impoliteness."
"I still have to go see your grandmother, you should take a rest."
