Daming female local tyrant

When Jinglan came back from the girls' school, Qingyao told her that her ancestors sent someone over to say that Jinglan would not have to go to the school from tomorrow onwards, and she would be on vacation for three consecutive days, and asked her to accompany her grandmother and others.

"This is great!" Jing Lan became happy when she heard that, it was really torture for her to go to Lu's girls' school every day after returning to Lu's house.She doesn't like reading the Fourth Nvshu or being a female celebrity.And, when she heard that her own mother's natal family had come from Yangzhou, she was still a little excited, because her plan with Chengze was finally about to start.

"Girl, the maidservant hasn't finished talking yet. The third young master even sent someone over to say that when the girl finishes school, I'll go to the guest house to meet them." Qing Yao continued.

"Where is the guest house?"

"The servant girl will take the girl there in a while. The girl has some tea and has a rest. The servant girl and Qing Luo will wait for the girl to change her clothes and comb her hair, okay?"

"Row."

Afterwards, Jing Lan drank half a cup of tea and ate a piece of snacks. Qing Yao chose honey-colored folded branches of flowers and golden beetroots all over the place, and a skirt embroidered with plum, bamboo, orchid and hem skirts of the same color for Jing Lan to change into.She wore some emerald butterfly hairpins on her head and a pair of thin gold twisted silk bracelets on her hands, making her look extremely elegant and beautiful.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Jing Lan is quite satisfied with this outfit.

Since returning to Lu's house, because there was no time to make clothes, Qi picked out two sets of dresses that Shu Lan hadn't worn for Jing Lan, and the ancestor asked someone to buy a few sets of dresses for Jing Lan send it.Let's talk about Jinglan wearing these dresses first, after all, the Lu family has a big banquet on the [-]th to celebrate Jing Lan's return to Lu's house, and Jing Lan also needs some dresses that can meet guests.

What Qingyao took out to change Jinglan at this moment was the clothes that the ancestors sent for Jinglan to meet guests.

After tidying up, Qing Yao and Qing Luo accompanied Jing Lan to the guest house, leaving Guo'er and Ming'er to guard the house.

The Lu family's guest house is on the west road of the Lu family's mansion. There are about a dozen small courtyards, which can accommodate hundreds of people.When the Feng family was sixty years old and entertained guests, the dozen or so small courtyards that the Lu family used to entertain guests were all full.There were not so many visitors this time, and it was barely enough to live in half.

The courtyard where the Tan family lives is closest to the inner house, probably because they are the ones who have the closest relationship with Jing Lan among the visitors this time.

Jing Lan followed Qing Yao and Qing Luo across the inner house of the Lu family before arriving at the west side, and passing through two gates in succession before arriving at the small courtyard where the Tan family lived.

When they arrived, the courtyard door was closed. Qingyao stepped forward to knock on the door, and a little maid came to open the door. She asked who Qingyao and the others were. After knowing their identities, she hurriedly opened the door and let them in. It is said that the third young master, Jinglan's grandmother and others are all in the hall of the north room.

After walking a few steps, another little maid came and led them to the north room.

These two little maids were brought by the Tan family themselves.

For those maidservants and servants who came from far away without attendants, the Lu family will send someone to serve them.

Mrs. Cai and others were talking in the room. Hearing someone talking outside, Cheng Ze smiled and said that it must be Sister.

After saying this, Cai stood up excitedly and walked out quickly.

She walked over, opened the curtain, stood in the corridor, and saw a beautiful and outstanding girl walking over with ease.

The moment she saw Jing Lan, Cai felt as if she saw her daughter. She was like this when she was sixteen or seventeen years old.It's just that the granddaughter is taller than the daughter, and looks even more outstanding.

As for Jing Lan, she also saw an old woman in her fifties who came out of the house and stood on the porch, with luxurious clothes and gray temples.

Then, she saw several people coming out behind the old woman, looking at her together, with excited expressions on their faces.

The old woman should be his grandmother, and the others are probably his uncle and aunt, right?

Cheng Ze had already walked over quickly at this moment, took Jing Lan's sleeve, walked to the people standing in the corridor, and introduced to Jing Lan who they were.

Grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousin, cousin, cousin.

Jinglan met with everyone one by one, and Cai wept excitedly. She held Jinglan's hand tightly and did not let go. She looked Jinglan up and down many times, and kept saying that it was great to see Jinglan in this life.

The people around, especially Jinglan's aunt Yu Shi, advised her to stop crying and go into the house to talk to the family.

Cai said with a smile that she was so happy that she cried. Jing Lan took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said that she would often visit her in Yangzhou in the future.

After everyone entered the room and sat down, Mrs. Cai and the others asked in turn how Jing Lan had lived for so many years.

In fact, before Chengze received Tan's family, he also roughly said that my sister had spent 13 years in the Lin family in Qingxi Village, and after she was 13 years old, she went to work as a maid for Miss Shen's family for three years.Although Cheng Ze explained that Miss Shen was very kind to Sister, and returned Sister's body deed when she was in Suzhou, Sister still treated Miss Shen as a close friend after returning to Lu's house.But the Tan family just felt that Jinglan had suffered a lot over the years, if it wasn't for that damn Zhang Tianshi's nonsense, Jinglan would be fine as the eldest lady of the Lu family.If Jing Lan had not been carried away, her mother would not have died.

After seeing Jing Lan, Cai and the others were very relieved to see that she behaved no differently from the other Lu family ladies, and that she had an outstanding appearance and temperament.

It seemed that they would be at ease only if Jing Lan told her about her experiences over the years, so they all gathered around Jing Lan to ask questions.

From the way the Tan family looked at her, Jing Lan knew that they regarded her as a family member, and they gave Jing Lan the feeling that she was facing her ancestors.So Jing Lan also talked freely, telling them what they were interested in.

Finally, they heard something similar to Cheng Ze from Jing Lan's mouth, Cai and the others were satisfied and relieved.

With that said, it's time for dinner.

Cheng Ze had already arranged the kitchen to cook some delicious dishes to entertain guests.

Everyone happily finished the meal, Cai still held Jinglan and refused to let her go, and asked her to spend more time with him, and said that if she was late talking, she would rest here, anyway, she went to see Jinglan's great-grandmother, and asked her to let Jinglan go. Three days off.

Jing Lan laughed when she heard this, and said, "It turned out that my grandmother went to talk to my ancestors, and I was able to be free for three days, thanks to my grandmother."

Mrs. Cai took Jing Lan to sit under the Arhat couch in the next room, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and if your great-grandmother wants three days off, if she doesn't give it to me, it would be too unreasonable. Fortunately, she accepted."

Cheng Ze and the others also came in afterward, while Yu sat with a few children for a while. Seeing that the lights were on and the faces of the three children were tired, he asked them to go back to their rooms to rest. It was quite tiring to come from Yangzhou early.

The three children immediately stood up, said goodbye to Jing Lan and the others and went back to their respective houses.

When only Cai was left in the room, uncle and aunt, Jing Lan and Cheng Ze exchanged glances, knowing that it was time to get to the point.

Cheng Ze took out the slip from his sleeve that his father gave him, and his mother's dowry slip that his uncle sent him when he got married. After putting the two slips on the table, he said: " Grandmother, uncle, aunt, look..."

After he won the election, what his father said when he gave him the list, and what Lin's mother said, he told them.

After finishing speaking, Tan Jialiang first picked up the two lists and compared them. After the comparison, he said angrily: "Sure enough, there are so many missing. When Cheng Ze asked me to give her mother the dowry slip when she got married, I was still thinking, what should I do?" What is this, now I understand!"

Cheng Ze said in a solemn tone: "This time I picked up my sister back, and I took advantage of the Lu family's treat to celebrate my sister's return to the Lu family. I discussed it with my sister, and I wanted my grandmother and uncle to help me. I asked my great-grandmother Give my mother's dowry to me and my sister. After all, I have also performed the crown ceremony, and my sister is too late. It is not too much to ask for a share of my mother's dowry. Both my sister and I think that my mother I'm afraid that someone's plan was behind the illness and death. In this way, we can't let my mother's dowry fall into the hands of outsiders!"

Jing Lan also echoed and said: "What my brother said is also what I thought, so I asked my grandmother and uncle to help me. After the banquet on the [-]th, I asked my great-grandmother to clear up my mother's dowry and divide it up. Give it to me and Cheng Ze."

Cai frowned and listened to what Chengze and Jinglan had said, and then asked her son to show her the two lists, and finally made a decision, and followed what Jinglan told Chengze.

Everyone discussed the details of this matter together until late at night.

Jing Lan didn't go back that night, and rested here in the guest courtyard.

The next day was the [-]th, the Tan family took out the gifts they brought from Yangzhou to Jinglan and Chengze, showed them to them, and then asked the maid to bring them to the house.

They brought all kinds of food and play accessories from Yangzhou, all of which are extremely exquisite, especially the accessories, which are also quite expensive.Jing Lan got two boxes of jewelry, both of which were collected by her grandmother over the past few decades, and they are very valuable.She refused to accept it, but her grandmother insisted that she accept it, and said that she would not take these things with her when she was alive, and she hoped to see Jinglan wearing them in the future, and that would be what she wanted.

Jing Lan finally asked for it, and as a reward, she personally cooked a table of special dishes for them to eat, and the family had fun all day.

The [-]th was the official day for the Lu family to celebrate Jinglan's return home, and the guests sat at dozens of tables.

Feng took her out to meet everyone, and everyone praised Jing Lan, saying that Jing Lan is worthy of being the eldest lady of the Lu family, and she is indeed a famous girl.

After eating the noodles, the Lu family invited the opera troupe to sing in the Lu family's special theater building, and Feng Shi and a group of female guests also went to the theater and listened to the opera.

After the play, it was time for the dinner. After the dinner, some guests who lived in Jinling City left one after another.The guests who are farther away go back to rest, pack their luggage, and return home the next day.

Mrs. Feng also felt a little tired after this day. After returning to Fuhai Hall, she changed into homely clothes and was planning to call someone to wash up and go to bed. A maid came in and told that Jinglan's grandmother and aunt had come. , to see her.

"Invite them to come in." After listening to Feng Shi, she thought that Cai Shi probably brought his daughter-in-law to say goodbye to her, and she probably won't be able to come tomorrow morning.

Cai and his daughter-in-law Yu then entered the west room of Fuhai Hall under the leadership of the maid, and saw Feng changed into an autumn-colored family-style beanie and dress, crooked on the Arhat couch, and there was a maid beside him. The beauty hammered her shoulders.
