Chapter 688 Your sister is here to see you
Old Lady Wan immediately turned her attention to Tong Yan and Cui. These two people had already been through it once. Old Lady Wan didn't know what the differences were between the customs of Yue State and Da Qi, but she felt that generally they shouldn't be too different. It wouldn't be embarrassing to have Cui by the side to discuss it.
"Hey, your eldest brother is getting married, and everyone from our side will definitely go, but your brother is missing. I don't know how Wen'er is doing now?"
Old Mrs. Wan has always been worried about Wan Wen. After all, he has been studying abroad alone for several years, and she doesn't know how he is doing now.
"Grandma, you don't have to worry about my brother. He is with me, so there will be no problem." Fubao saw that Grandma Wan was a little absent-minded and hurried to comfort her.
Wan Ersao was also a little worried. After all, her own son had been gone for several years, so how could she not miss him?
"Oh, you're all here today." Old man Chen came in from outside with his hands behind his back.
He saw that Old Lady Wan looked worried, so he smiled and walked over to her and asked, "Old lady, what's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Old man Chen just came back from the village chief's house. He has been fascinated by bamboo weaving recently and is studying very hard with the village chief's father. He doesn't come back until dinner every day.
"It's nothing. I just miss my third grandson. He has been in Lushan Academy for several years. I don't know how he is doing now. It's hard not to worry about him." Old Mrs. Wan said lightly and sat down in the main hall.
"Lushan Academy? When I came here, I seemed to see a group of students from their academy going to the capital. They said they were going to study. Their dean's name was He, right? He was leading them personally. There were more than a dozen students."
Old man Chen said slowly.
Old Mrs. Wan, Mrs. Wan, and Old Man Wan all immediately looked at Old Man Chen.
"Mr. Chen, are you telling the truth? Did they go to the capital?"
"Yes, we stayed in the same inn. Their academy was very famous, and they wore the clothes of the academy when they went out. People could tell at a glance that they were from Lushan Academy. I saw that the owner of the inn was very respectful. I even sneered at them at the time, thinking that they were showing off."
Old man Chen had a look of sarcasm on his face.
Mrs. Wan ignored the mocking look on Old Man Chen's face and immediately asked, "Have you seen Wan Wen from our family?"
"Wanwen? I don't know what your grandson looks like, and I wouldn't know if he is the same even if I saw him. But there is a young man sitting next to Mr. He, who is about the same height as my nephew, with handsome features. I heard the old man call him Maowen, and he looks very similar to the Wanwen you mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Wan Lao Er stood up happily and patted his thigh, saying, "That person is my son. I remember when Mr. He was teaching at our house, he seemed to have changed the names of each of them. Wan Wen seems to be Mao Wen."
After Wan Laoer said this, Wan Ersao seemed to remember it, but it had been a few years and she couldn't remember it clearly. Now when she heard Old Man Chen mention it, she remembered it.
"It seems that Wen'er also followed Mr. He to the capital. The expenses for going to the capital are not small. I don't know if the little money he had before leaving is enough? I don't know where they are now? It's too late to send him money." Wan Laoer sighed heavily.
At that time, he gave all the money in the family to Wan Wen. He was gone for two or three years, and he was very worried.
"I don't think you need to worry about money. I think the old man loves your son very much. He doesn't have to pay for food, accommodation and transportation, and he has no place to spend money."
Old Man Chen told the Wan family everything he remembered.
However, this made the Wan family even more excited.
"Grandma, my eldest brother is getting married next year. My brother might hear the news in the capital. What if he comes back?" Fubao said with his little face raised.
Old Mrs. Wan pulled Fubao into her arms and held him.
"I hope so." Old Mrs. Wan murmured.
Tongyan stayed at the Wan family for half a month. His complexion had obviously improved a lot and he could walk without panting.
And her relationship with Fubao has changed from strangers to good friends.
Unlike Tong Yan and Wan Ersao, the books she has read and the knowledge she has gained are not on the same level as Wan Ersao.
Before Tong Yan married into the palace, she had been to many places. The Tong family had no male heirs, and Master Tong raised his two daughters as boys. So before entering the palace, Tong Yan also dressed up as a woman and went out to check on the family business with Master Tong.
Tong Yan’s educational method is somewhat similar to Jia Yanbing’s. In addition, Tong Yan is Fubao’s biological mother, so she must want to give Fubao more.
Plus she wanted to make up for the shortcomings of these years, so she used her charm to attract Fubao.
Fubao is a curious baby and she quickly started playing with her mother.
Wan Ersao was a little sad at first, but later she saw that Fubao was genuinely happy, and many of Fubao's bad habits seemed to be corrected invisibly. Only then did Wan Ersao understand Tong Yan's painstaking efforts.
Therefore, Wan Ersao now sincerely hopes that Fubao can spend more time with her biological mother. She was born a phoenix, but was kidnapped by bad guys and ended up wandering outside. This is already pitiful enough. Their Wan family cannot give Fubao a noble life, but they cannot prevent Fubao from living a noble life in the future.
Wan Ersao felt that it was time for her to let go. This was also a special kind of love for her. If she loved her, she would give her the best.
Fubao didn't know what Wan Ersao was thinking, but she was very smart and would not neglect Wan Ersao when she was close to her mother.
The New Year has arrived, and Tongyan's body has fully recovered under Fubao's care.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Wan family was steaming rice cakes, and all the women were busy in the kitchen.
Even Cui and Tong Yan rolled up their sleeves to give it a try.
They have never experienced the joy of farmers celebrating New Year's Eve.
Old Mrs. Wan taught Cui, Second Sister-in-law Wan taught Tongyan, Guihua taught Pinellia and Angelica dahurica, and Fubao was busy running back and forth between them. The cheerful laughter of the women could be heard from the kitchen from time to time.
At this time, a team of carriages arrived outside the Wan family's door.
"Excuse me, is this the Wan family?"
"Grandma, it seems like someone is coming. I'll go open the door." Guihua hurriedly put down the flour in her hand, picked up the towel and wiped it roughly, then ran out.
The door opened and Guihua saw a woman standing outside.
"Who are you looking for?" Guihua asked in a crisp voice. There was flour on her face and her sleeves were rolled up, revealing a piece of her white and tender arm.
The woman only took a glance, then lowered her head and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, is this the Wan family?"
"Yes, this is the Wan family, who are you looking for?"
Guihua asked curiously.
At this time, a woman got off the carriage behind the woman. The woman was wearing a bright red convertible.
Guihua looked over and saw the woman, and was surprised, "Why does she look so similar to Aunt Yan?"
"Little sister, I am Tong Yan's sister. My sister is at your house, right?"
Upon hearing this, Guihua immediately smiled sweetly, "It turns out to be Aunt Yan's sister. Please come in. I'll go call someone."
Guihua immediately turned around and ran to the kitchen.
"Aunt Yan, your sister is here to see you, please come and take a look." Tong Yan was putting a handful of red beans into the pot. When she heard Guihua's cry, her hands shook and all the beans fell to the ground.
