Chapter 364.2: Becoming Delicate
Today, the people of the Luo family, aside from the Head Minister of Appointments that entered the palace, the rest were all at home, including the married ladies, regardless whether it was the ones of Jing Wan’s generation, or the ones of the older generation. Aside from they themselves, their husband and children, the ones that could be brought back, were also all brought back. Of course, there was also Jing Wan’s maternal family.
Those who were unaware even thought that the Luo family had some big matter. In reality, Jing Wan returning to the maiden home, for them, can indeed be considered a major matter. With Jing Wan’s status elevating, as the Luo family’s closest relatives, they naturally valued this visit. After all, under normal circumstances, they were unable to meet with Jin Wangfei.
By the time they reached the Luo family gates, although it was just the people of the Luo family, this amount wasn’t few.
In these last two years, children in the same generation as Jing Wan were no longer born, just in the younger generation, her eldest tang brother’s son can already walk, and her own third brother’s daughter can occasionally call for her mother. In this moment, Jing Wan just felt that time really went by quite fast.
However, this was the front gate after all, so the required etiquette was still needed. Seeing her elders bow to her, Jing Wan was still slightly uncomfortable.
After entering the gates, Li Hong Yuan walked in the very front, while Jing Wan supported Luo Old Madam and walked behind him. The rest all orderly followed behind them. This while they didn’t say anything, but after mutually exchanging a glance, it was also more than enough to express their longing towards one another. Just, in Luo Old Madam’s eyes, there was also delight mixed in, because this granddaughter of hers appeared pretty good, her complexion not at all lacking compared to when she was still in the boudoir, in certain areas even surpassing. Luo Old Madam was satisfied inside. Some things perhaps can still reconfirm later.
They directly headed to the main courtyard. In the spacious main hall, everyone separately sat down. Soon after, the ‘people of different surnames’ that came to the Luo Manor also gathered together, properly greeting the two sitting in the main seats.
This kind of thing, Li Hong Yuan was long accustomed to, and Jing Wan also needed to get use to. However, at present, she also appeared not bad. At least, on the surface, one was unable to pick out any faults.
Li Hong Yuan knew, with him present, these womenfolk won’t be able to properly talk. Although unwilling, he still led the Luo family masters away.
Once the living Enma was gone, the atmosphere immediately just lightened up. Although due to Jing Wan’s current status, it naturally can’t compare with prior to her marrying.
Rather, it was Luo Old Madam that was the same as usual towards Jing Wan. This while, she finally was able to carefully study her. The girl she once raised in her palm really was well, not appearing the least bit forced.
“Wangfei, the things brought over, is it directly sending to the respective branches, or what?” Gong mama appropriately opened her mouth.
“Just directly send to the respective branches. The things might be a bit much, eldest aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, why don’t you all call people over to give a hand.” Jing Wan smilingly said.
Without waiting for them to open their mouth, Jing Wan’s maternal grandmother stood up first instead, “We will also go have a look.”
At this time, the sensible ones should all know to make room. Jin Wangfei was raised before her grandmother, and moreover, her own mother was also present. At this time, they naturally should yield the place to them.
“Good daughter, let’s also go have a look, see what good things your paternal aunt brought for you.” Sun Yi Jia held her daughter and batted her eyes towards Jing Wan.
Thus, very soon, there was just Jing Wan, Luo Old Madam, and Zhang-shi left in the room.
Once the ‘outsiders’ were gone, Jing Wan just directly ‘threw out her manners’ and coquettishly threw herself onto Luo Old Madam, “Grandmother, I really miss you.”
Luo Old Madam slightly blanked. How to put it, perhaps because of her health, Jing Wan has always taken care of her. Even if Luo Old Madam deliberately teased, Jing Wan also rarely had times where she acted spoiled. If it was still the same as before, then even if meeting, this granddaughter of hers probably wouldn’t act this spoiled either. This child was too rational, too logical, majority of the times always considering for others. She has always strove to let this granddaughter be the same as ordinary girls, able to carefreely and happily grow up under her elders knees, but unfortunately, all the way until this granddaughter married, she was all unable to achieve this. Everyone all knew, once a girl married, they were just further unable to be spoiled, and their focus can no longer be themselves.
But who knew, this granddaughter of hers was the complete opposite, and after being married for half a year, would voluntarily act spoiled. The person grew quite a bit, but was becoming increasingly delicate.
Those who were unfamiliar or were continuously by Jing Wan’s side all won’t detect this kind of change, but Luo Old Madam’s senses were exceptionally clear.
She inwardly sighed, feeling even more pleased. Can only say, Jin Qinwang had her cupped in the palm and pampered, truly letting her live carefreely, not having anything to worry over, and further not doing anything to let her be hurt. It was him entirely holding up a piece of the sky for her in order for her to be like this.
For a woman that was lived pretty well in her maiden home, and even better at her husband’s home, if able to continuously last, then that was indeed having good fortune. Luo Old Madam caressed Jing Wan’s head. This granddaughter of hers was a good child, no matter how fortunate, it was all worthy and deservedly so. Because Jing Wan married at least a year earlier than anticipated, that while, she still had some complaint towards Jin Qinwang inside. However, this while, it was all gone. As long as he was good to her granddaughter, she can have him treated as her own grandson.
Zhang-shi sat to the side, inwardly feeling somewhat sour. She wasn’t a qualifying mother, and in the past, missed too much. Now, no matter what, she was unable to be that close with her daughter as she was with her grandmother. However, this was also something that couldn’t be helped. What she can do now was just not let the relationship become even more estranged.
Jing Wan wiggled around in Luo Old Madam’s arms for a while, before finally sitting upright again. This while, she also realized in hindsight, and her face slightly revealed a bit of embarrassment. On the inside, she couldn’t help but blame Li Hong Yuan. It was all that bastard’s fault. Because she was used to, and now, encountering her closest elder……………..
Luo Old Madam just laughed, but didn’t point out. As such, with things being this clear and easy to see, there was actually no need to ask whether she was well or not.
Jing Wan looked towards Zhang-shi, smiling brightly, “Mother, have you been well?”
“Good, good.” Zhang-shi hurriedly answered, “The second branch’s matters are all taken care of by your elder sister-in-law, and there isn’t any other troubling matters, so I can’t be more idle. When there’s nothing to do, it was just playing with Xuan’er, so naturally very well.”
(T/N: Xuan’er is referring to Sun Yi Jia and Luo Jing Bo’s daughter, this is the first time her name has actually been mentioned.)
Jing Wan had became a qin-wangfei. The yiniangs of the second branch all knew Jing Wan didn’t like concubines and such, so have become increasingly low-key and obedient, even completely avoiding Luo Rong Yan. Once some more time pass, perhaps one will even forget these concubines’ existence. As such, there naturally won’t be trouble. This was truly the peaceful relation between wife and concubines.
Jing Wan roughly understood the meaning within. As long as they are sensible, she will also return the favor. As long as they know their place, her two shu sisters, as well as that shu brother, in the future, all won’t be too worst off. “That is good.”
“And you? Was Jiangnan fun?”
Jing Wan selectively told them some things, all the way until someone came over again.
