The sixth aunt and Liu Mei sat opposite each other, with sad faces.

"She's back. Yahuan ran through the door, panting and shouting.

The mother and daughter did not react.

Yahuan reminded again: "She's back! The carriage from the palace sent it, even the yamen of Lingzhou Mansion was alarmed, and the lord of Zhizhou personally accompanied the officials of the imperial court and sent it together!

Aunt Sixth was the first to exclaim, "She? You mean she's back?" Really—oops, I'm saved—we're all saved—" and said as she reached out and hugged her lower abdomen tightly.

At the gate, the footsteps were chaotic, Liu Dingmao took the lead to greet the door, respectfully kowtowed to the officials from the palace, and gave a salute to Lord Zhizhou, and finally took care of the person who was sent back ceremoniously - sure enough, it was a dumb aunt, Liu Wan's child daughter-in-law, she jumped out of the carriage and smiled and gave Liu Dingmao a salute, "Dad, I'm back." ”

Countless pairs of eyes of the Liu family stared at this little woman.

She grew taller, fatter, and white-skinned, and stood there slim and graceful, like a big girl.

"Stinky daughter-in-law-stinky mother-in-law-you're back-" With the shout, Liu Wan rushed out of the door, grabbed the dumb girl's arm, tore it vigorously, and laughed in his mouth, "I thought you would never come back in this life-we will never see each other again in this life-you don't give me a word in advance when you come back, so that I will be happy and happy soon!"

He was so excited that tears were streaming down his little face.

He didn't care, he raised his sleeve to wipe his face, and hugged the stinky woman's arm, "I haven't seen you for half a month, you've lost weight - did it take a lot of effort? Why don't you know how to take care of yourself?"

The dumb aunt didn't care about this pestering little brat, thanked the official who sent her back, and also thanked Lord Zhizhou, watching Liu Dingmao personally send people away, she pointed to a large pile of things unloaded from the car, "Liu Wan, you first see what you like to eat, I will satisfy you as a foodie first, and then distribute it to everyone." ”

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Liu Wan immediately pounced. This was brought from the palace, and he had never seen the delicious food coming out of the palace in his life.

Qian'er and Chang'an have already come out, but there are too many people, and their status is low, so they don't dare to come forward to speak, look at the old man and the others are scattered, they catch up with each other left and right, one hugging an arm, sandwiching the little grandmother in the middle, Qian'er has tears in her eyes: "Little grandma, you can be regarded as coming back safely and soundly, the slave maid thinks ......" She choked up and couldn't speak. Although Chang'an didn't know what dangerous place the little grandmother had gone, she also had a premonition that things were not good after being away for so long. Now seeing the little grandmother standing in front of her alive again, she is so happy that she burst into tears.

The dumb aunt pushed away Qian'er and smiled: "Don't be excited, register these things well, but they are all royal gifts, and they are valuable." After registering, he sent it to the lord with the list, and asked him to distribute it to each house and house in person. ”

Coping with the official errand, Liu Ding Mao came back, then he looked at the little woman in front of him seriously, she was standing there, or the child daughter-in-law who left home last winter, when he sent her away last year, he only looked at the woman a few times, but he didn't expect to see her for a year, she has grown up a lot, and the most important thing is that the demeanor, posture, pace and words spoken, everywhere is full of stability, where is this a woman who is only fourteen years old, it is clear that only an older woman who has experienced life experience can have.

The more he looked at it, the happier he became, it was a happy event for the dumb aunt to come back, and it was even more joyful that she cured the five princes in the palace, looking at the attitude of those officials and the Zhizhou Lord towards him just now, they were all indescribably polite, and even a little respectful. He's just an idle official at home, he doesn't have much power, and he doesn't bother to run those, he has lived for such a long time, and today is the first time he has been so respected by an official, think about it, this is all the face that this child daughter-in-law has earned back.

Liu Dingmao touched Liu Wan's head and nodded, "It's good to come back, since you came back safely, let's live a peaceful life." Quick, let's go back and rest. ”

Liu Wan happily grabbed the dumb aunt's arm, "Let's go, go back to our corner courtyard, everything is ready and waiting for you to come back!"

The housekeeper came up and moved the list written by Qian'er and all the items brought by the dumb aunt into the study one by one, Liu Dingmao was happy, and these things were indeed rare, he personally watched the distribution, and for a while, everyone in each room and room shared a little.

Lan Rui of Shuanghe Garden heard that the dumb aunt was coming back, so she ran into the house and told the third aunt, "She is finally back-this time the slave maid heard correctly, she really came back-it turned out that she was not divorced by Brother Wan, but went to the palace to be treated-"

The third aunt didn't seem to hear it, she lay upright, her eyes showed sadness, and she shook her head: "She's back, but it's too late for us-"

Lan Rui burst into tears, looked at the third aunt in a daze, and felt cool in her heart.

The sixth aunt grabbed her daughter Liu Mei's hand, "Mei'er, do you hear me, she's back, we just chattered, and she came back—I'm saved—" said and reached out to touch her stomach.

Liu Mei was also happy, "Yes, I hope she can think of curing the eldest lady again, and ask the eldest lady to get pregnant with another one, as long as the eldest lady is pregnant, she will not be jealous of others." ”

"I can't say that!" was so frightened that the sixth aunt covered her daughter's mouth, "It's over when you hear it!"

Before the words were finished, a figure rushed into the door, "Bad luck - she didn't die outside, she came back alive! So many people are sycophants, and it's just like a baby around her, even the master is so happy with her!"

It's Liu Shen.

Liu Shen's face was gloomy.

The sixth aunt squeezed Liu Mei's eyes too much, signaling her not to provoke Liu Shen.

In the corner courtyard, one of the two arms of the dumb aunt was held by Qian'er, and the other was held by Chang'an, and Liu Wan behind her two hands pushed on the back, pushing and shoving all the way, she couldn't help but stumble into the door, and saw the plum tree standing in the wind, and the branches were strong, but the branches had faintly sprouted, and it was the cold winter of flowering.

The dumb girl took the hands of the two little girls, walked around the plum tree, and then looked up at the blue sky at the height of the plum tree...... In fact, it is also good to spend a quiet time here. It's something I haven't had in the last twenty years or so.

In the future, let's really stay here, live a peaceful life, and wait for that person's return.

That man, is he okay?
