  Chapter 562 Greetings

  Just like Hou Men, as deep as the sea!

This sentence is definitely not an exaggeration. Even if the memory is as monstrous as Zhu Ping'an's, on the way to the old lady's place to say hello, he was almost dizzy. Ping An arrived at the courtyard where the old lady of the Hou Mansion was.

   "My lord, the old lady's yard is ahead." The two girls leading the way reminded Zhu Ping'an in a low voice.

  Zhu Ping'an nodded, indicating that he knew, checked his attire and there was nothing wrong with it, and signaled the two girls to continue leading the way.

  This hallway is relatively wide, and there is a huge emerald screen wall after passing the hallway, which made Zhu Ping'an a little tongue-tied, wondering how much gold and silver it took to buy such a large jade screen wall. Bypassing this emerald screen wall, there is a spacious courtyard. This is the courtyard locked by the old lady of the Hou Mansion. When Zhu Pingan walked in, he saw a row of five main rooms, the ear room, the gate room, the kitchen room and so on. Everything is available.

   "Guye Wanan."

  The six girls who were busy in the yard in an orderly manner saw Zhu Ping'an, bowed their knees in unison and worshiped, and greeted Zhu Ping'an with one voice.

  Zhu Ping'an nodded, and then asked, "Is grandma free?"

  After getting an affirmative answer, Zhu Ping'an walked towards the main room in the middle. The maid at the door had already rolled up the curtain when Zhu Ping'an just arrived at the door, and Zhu Ping'an walked in.

   "I heard that my uncle is coming to say hello. The old lady was very happy for a long time. Come in, my uncle. The old lady must be very happy to see my uncle."

  In the back room of the main room, the big girl Zijuan in a dark green bijia came out, smiled and saluted Zhu Ping'an.

   "Grandmother is thinking about peace, and peace naturally comes to pay her respects." Zhu Ping'an smiled lightly.

  Zijuan opened the curtain with a smile, welcomed Zhu Pingan into the inner room, and then reported to the room with a smile, "Madam, the son-in-law who you have been talking about is here to greet you."

  The inner room is very luxuriously tidied up. There is a large kang covered with scarlet blankets near the window. On the front there is a backrest for Meigu's birthday, pillows with gold blessing characters, and the quilts are all smoked with spices. On the kang is a pair of exquisite tables of huanghuali, with dried fruits, fragrant tea, spittoon and other things.

  A red carpet was spread on the ground, four chairs with soft arms were placed, cushions were spread, and there were footrests. There are vases with seasonal flowers, incense burners burning incense, and various unnamed ornaments in the room.

  Zhu Ping'an entered the inner room and took a look, then saluted and greeted the silver-haired old woman sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the middle. When Zhu Pingan lived in the Hou Mansion, he had seen the old lady many times, and he could recognize the old lady as the old lady at a glance.

   "The son-in-law is safe and greets the grandmother."

  Zhu Pingan stood at attention one meter in front of the old lady's seat, then stepped forward with his left leg, put his left hand on his knee, half-kneeled on his right leg, and bowed one knee to say hello to the old lady.

Perhaps many people think that greeting peace is a Manchu etiquette, but this is not the case. Greeting peace originated from the Ming Dynasty, and it was one of the earliest military ceremonies in the Ming Dynasty. There is a standard description of the etiquette of greeting peace in the "Daming Huidian", which is called " Bend one knee." Theoretically speaking, a soldier should kneel down to salute when he sees an officer, but because he is wearing armor and cannot kneel down, he only bows one knee or half a knee to salute. I got used to it over time, even if I don't wear armor, soldiers will bow their knees to salute when they see the officer, which is the same as kowtowing and bowing, and it has the meaning of greeting and greeting.

  The unique etiquette of the Manchus should be to kneel down.

   "Brother Ang, get up, you have suffered a lot on this journey, and the incident at sea scared grandma. Come here, let grandma take a good look at it." The old lady stretched out her hand, signaling Zhu Pingan to get up quickly.

  Zhu Pingan responded, and stood up, and then saw that the old lady of the Hou Mansion was not looking at her, so she also smiled and looked at the old lady calmly.

"Why have you lost so much weight?" The old lady looked up and down for a moment, and asked distressedly, and then, without waiting for Zhu Ping'an's answer, she looked at Zijuan and said, "Zijuan, go to the warehouse and get the money that was rewarded by the palace last time." Bird's nest, Ganoderma lucidum, velvet antler, ginseng, snow lotus and other supplements are given to Angle and the others in half."

   "The old ancestor is really eccentric. I begged for a long time, and the old ancestor gave me a little bit. Now my brother-in-law has just arrived and hasn't spoken yet. Grandma will give half of it."

   As soon as the old lady's voice fell, she heard a coquettish and coquettish female voice coming in. On the surface, it was grievance, but it was actually coquettish invitation.

As soon as Zhu Ping'an turned his head, he saw Miss Six in a light pink gauze skirt walking in with a scent of fragrance. The round baby's plump face was laughing, and she came to the old lady with her small canine teeth, and hugged the old lady. His arms acted coquettishly.

"You monkey has sharp ears, get up quickly, don't look at who is there, just act like a coquettish shamelessly." The old lady patted Miss Liu's fragrant shoulder dotingly, and joked with a smile road.

  Miss Six raised her head from the old lady's arms, looked at Zhu Ping'an, and smiled coquettishly without any shyness, "Grandmother will change the topic, brother-in-law is not an outsider, grandson is not shy."

  Miss Six boldly looked at Zhu Pingan with her dark eyes, her eyes were charming, her round oval face flushed, like a lively bird, with a sweet and lively atmosphere all over her body.

  Zhu Ping'an watched his mouth with his eyes, his nose with his mouth, and his heart with his nose. There was no wave in his eyes.

"You monkey is looking for grandmother again, okay, okay, I will let Zijuan send the box of Dongzhu that you have been coveting for a long time to your yard." Miss's baby fat face, promised to give her a box of Dongzhu.

   "Hee hee, the grandson will thank the old ancestor." Miss Six happily thanked the old lady.

   "Okay, the big girl who is about to leave the court, and she is not in shape, go and sit on the side." The old lady patted Miss Six's arm and reprimanded lovingly.

   "Obey, old ancestor." Sixth Miss got up and smiled coquettishly, performing a standard female salute, and then sat down on a chair beside the old lady.

   "You monkey..." The old lady couldn't laugh or cry.

   "Thank you for your grandmother's love, Ping'an, but this tonic was given to her by the palace. No matter how unfilial Ping'an is, she dare not share her tonic." Zhu Pingan smiled and shook his head, rejecting the old lady's love.

"Your child, since the palace has rewarded the grandmother, it will belong to the grandmother. If the grandmother gives it to you, you can keep it. You and Xiao Wu should make up for each other, which is the greatest filial piety to the grandmother." The old lady of the Hou Mansion insisted again road.

  Zhu Pingan declined again, and then the old lady made an angry look and said that the elders did not dare to resign. After a confrontation of numbers, a consensus was reached, and finally Zhu Pingan accepted one-third of the tonic.

   "Shu'er, why didn't you come back together?" The old lady asked with concern.

  Zhu Pingan explained to the old lady the reason why Li Shu came back a few days late, and the old lady nodded after hearing this, saying that it would be better if she came back a few days late, saving the travel on the road.

After talking for a while, the old lady asked about Zhu Ping'an's memorial, and persuaded Zhu Ping'an to give in to the Yan family. For the sake of Ping'an's official career, he advised Zhu Ping'an to leave the relationship with the Yan Mansion.

   "Don't worry, grandma, Ping An knows how to measure." Zhu Ping'an rolled his eyes, and replied ambiguously without too many words.

  The old lady thought that Zhu Ping'an had listened, she nodded in satisfaction, talked again, asked about Zhu Ping'an's affairs at sea, and then asked Zijuan to send Zhu Ping'an back to rest.
