Not to mention how busy Magistrate Li was, the 8th of November was the day that Mrs. Yang returned to the residence.
Before daybreak, Xia Zhong and some servants rushed to the Liujiagang pier to pick up the guests. The servants at home had also cleaned up the Anlan Court where Mrs. Yang used to live, adding things that needed to be added and placing things that needed to be placed. Mother Zhang kept yelling in the kitchen, instructing the people to prepare lunch…
In short, the Yang Residence, which had been deserted for a long time, finally showed signs of liveliness.
At a quarter past noon, Mrs. Yang's carriage entered Song Jiang City. A servant rode back first to report the news. Yang Sichen ordered the water room to prepare hot water while he waited at the second door.
After another 15 minutes, the three carriages finally entered the Yang Residence. After the carriage stopped, Yang Sichen was surprised to find that the driver of the first carriage was actually Xia Zhong himself.
Soon, a woman in her thirties got out of the first carriage. She looked like Yang Sichen himself. Yang Sichen knew that this was his mother. Therefore, he quickly walked forward and knelt down in front of the woman. "Greetings, mother," he said in a trembling voice.”After saying that, he kowtowed, kowtowed again, and kowtowed three times.
The Zheng family was very surprised. This was the first time this child had given her such a big bow. She didn't think too much about it and quickly went forward to help Yang Sichen up. She pulled him over and over again.
Yang Sichen looked at his mother curiously. She was in her thirties, and her skin was fair and tender. It was obvious that she had taken good care of herself. She had an oval face, thin eyebrows, and a pair of big eyes that revealed her love for her son. Her hair was tied up into a high bun, with a white jade hairpin carved with the pattern of " Lotus Ruyi " on the top of her head. A peony Ruyi silver hairpin was inserted on the left side, and a Buddha's hand Ruyi silver hairpin was inserted on the right side, making her look very dignified. Her figure was less than five feet six, but she was already considered outstanding among women. She was wrapped in a large sheepskin cloak that covered her inside tightly, only revealing her hands. There was a thin layer of calluses on his hand, which was obviously left behind by frequently holding weapons. There was a pair of jade bracelets on his wrist. They were crystal clear and one could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary items.
Madam Zheng also sized up her son. After half a year, her son had grown a little taller. He used to be only as tall as her shoulders, but now he could touch her chin. However, his face still looked like his. If it weren't for those two thick eyebrows, it would be easy to mistake this child for him when he was still a virgin. As the saying goes," A son looks like his mother, and a woman looks like her father." This was probably what it meant. However, this gaze…resembled his father's. Chen 'er finally looked like an adult.
Madam Zheng couldn't help but sigh, the son who hugged her waist and asked for candy had finally grown up.
Madam Zheng came back to her senses and turned her head to shout,"Wen 'er, Jing' er, come and greet your big brother!"!”
As soon as Madam Zheng finished speaking, two balls of pink fell from the same carriage and quickly ran in front of Madam Zheng. Yang Sichen knew that these were his two little sisters.
The two little ones ran up to Madam Zheng and looked up at Yang Sichen. They curtsied at him and said,""Big brother, little sister greets you!”When Madam Zheng heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Yang Sichen returned the greeting and said to Madam Zheng,""Mother, Grandfather is still waiting in the house. You see…"
Yang Sichen nodded, turned around, and led Madam Zheng to the second gate, heading towards the Blue Sea Hall.
After the mother and son entered the Blue Sea Hall, Yang Sichen asked Madam Zheng to wait outside for a moment while he went in to report to Old Master Yang. Although Madam Zheng was a little reluctant, she knew that this was a rule that could not be broken. She could only nod and wait outside.
As soon as Yang Sichen entered the house, Old Master Yang asked impatiently,""But your mother is here?"
Yang Sichen nodded and left the house. He invited Madam Zheng and his two sisters into the house while he stood beside Old Master Yang.
After the Zheng mother and daughter bowed to Old Master Yang, Old Master Yang said,"Ruozhu, your mother-in-law has passed away. You have to worry about the trivial matters of this family in the future. I'm old and Xingrun doesn't go home all year round. Don't go out with Xingrun after the new year.”
Madam Zheng did not expect Old Master Yang to be so straightforward. She hesitated for a while before saying,"Ever since mother passed away, this family has always been managed by father. Now that it has been handed over to daughter-in-law, there are many things to do.”
Old Master Yang explained with a smile,"When your mother-in-law was around, the Yang Residence was bustling with noise and excitement. Although I didn't make any major mistakes in the past two years, it was never lively." Besides, Wen 'er needs to be enlightened and Jing' er is still too young. It will be troublesome if you bring the sisters around.”
Madam Zheng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She looked at Old Master Yang's obviously much older face and finally nodded.
Old Master Yang waved his hand, indicating for the mother and son to leave. Then, he ordered the servants to invite the mother and son to come over for dinner in an hour.
Yang Sichen led his mother, Mrs. Zheng, and his two younger sisters into Anlan Court. He instructed the servants to serve them well and asked if the hot water had been delivered. After that, Yang Sichen returned to his Jade Wave Courtyard and was helped by the purple handkerchief to change into a long robe. As he changed his clothes, he teased Zi Juan and mocked himself in his heart," It seemed that he had completely degenerated into a silkpants young master.
…………
An hour later, Old Master Yang's servant, Granny Wang, came to invite Yang Sichen to the Blue Sea Hall for a meal. Yang Sichen hurried to the Blue Sea Hall with the purple handkerchief.
Granny Wang was already in her fifties this year. As she had learned martial arts from the various leaders of the Flying Fish Gang when she was young, she did not look old at all. She looked to be in her forties. She was originally a personal maid that Old Madam Yang had raised since she was young. When she met Old Madam Yang, she was less than six years old. Later, Old Madam Yang made the decision to marry the Third Master of the Flying Fish Gang. Soon after, she had a son. After the Third Master died in battle twenty years ago, Old Madam Yang felt that the widow and her son were pitiful, so she let her be the managing nanny by her side. After Old Madam Yang passed away, she became Old Master Yang's person and was responsible for taking care of Old Master Yang's daily life. For two years, she had done her best and did not make any mistakes.
In the courtyard of the Vast Sea Hall, Yang Sichen met his mother, Madam Zheng, and his two younger sisters who had come from Anlan Court. So she hurried over to greet them. Madam Zheng nodded and led the siblings to the side room.
Only then did Yang Sichen see his mother's figure clearly." He was tall, with a narrow shoulder line and a waist of only six inches. Her long hair was tied up casually, held in place by a jade wishful hairpin, with a few silk flowers loosely pinned to it. She was wearing a lake green shirt with narrow sleeves, a crescent white six-piece Xiang skirt, and a blue-purple half-arm jacket. A palm-sized jade Ruyi pendant hung from her waist, and a pair of light blue embroidered shoes could be vaguely seen under the skirt. She looked like she was only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. How did she look like a mother whose child was about to reach adulthood? It was no wonder that Yang Sichen's deadbeat father was so smitten with her back then, crying and making a fuss about not marrying anyone other than her.
