"Old lady, the night is deep, and the exposure is deeper, the old lady should take care of her body. Mother Du walked out and saw the old lady leaning against the door, always looking radiant, she was old and strong, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showed some tiredness.

"yes, it's time to go back. The old lady said quietly, withdrew her gaze from the dark night, let Mother Du support her, and slowly walked towards the house.

She said as she walked, "Do you remember that Miss Lejia back then?"

Mother Du was stunned suddenly, and subconsciously stopped her steps: "Miss Lejia, why did you mention this matter again, old lady?"

The old lady sighed heavily: "When people are old, they love to think about old things. I saw the eldest working hard for the second child today, but he himself looked aggrieved, and suddenly felt that he was a little sorry for him. ”

Mother Du was silent for a long time, and said: "That Miss Lejia, she has a good personality and a good temperament, gentle and demure, quite a beautiful demeanor, and has another heart for the eldest master, and she almost hanged herself for the eldest master...... Alas, what a wickedness. ”

The old lady suddenly covered her chest, and her face turned a little pale. Frightened, Du's mother hurriedly supported her and asked nervously, "Old lady, what's wrong with you, does your heart hurt?"

The old lady slowed down and shook her head: "It's okay, I've had a problem for many years, and I haven't done it for decades, but I didn't expect it to suddenly hurt a little today." ”

Du's mother remembered that when the old lady had a heartache, it was because of the old man's affairs.

The old lady sat down on the couch and watched Mother Du busy in front of her, busy with the pillow. Busy pulling the quilt, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, I feel bored today." I want to talk to someone. Don't be busy, sit down and tell me about that old thing, which has been in my heart for decades. ”

Mother Du withdrew from the maid-in-law in the house, and refilled a cup of hot tea for the old lady, and then dragged Zhang Xiu over. Sitting sideways.

The old lady sighed deeply: "Do you remember? The boss was not like this before......

Mother Du laughed: "If the old lady doesn't mention it, I almost forgot what the old man was like before." If the slave is not mistaken, the eldest lord and the old lady look the most alike. Others can tell you that you are mother and son just by looking at them..."

The old lady smiled and nodded.

Mother Du continued: "The slave remembers that when the eldest master was young, he was handsome and elegant. Only then did he know people. I also passed the township test, and at that time, the matchmaker broke through the threshold of our house. ”

The old lady suddenly stopped smiling, and said with some sadness: "At that time, Yuefu also sent someone to propose marriage. You must know that the fourth lady in Yuefu has played with the boss since she was a child, and her relationship is very good. The Boss once said. If you pass the test again, you will definitely marry her. Later.......Alas!"

After speaking. The old lady sighed repeatedly.

Mother Du's heart tightened suddenly. She is an old man in the house, how can she not remember the events of the past?

The eldest lord of the year loved the fourth lady of Yuefu deeply, and the two families also acquiesced. Later, somehow, the old marquis suddenly changed his mind, and he had to ask the eldest lord to marry the daughter of the Chen family, which is now the eldest lady. At that time, the eldest master only had Miss Lejia in his heart, where could he tolerate other women? The old marquis was furious, saying that the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker could not help him, and ordered someone to lock up the eldest man and not allow him to send food over.

At that time, the old lady was anxious to protect her son, secretly let her son out, and gave him Yinliang, so that he could elope with Miss Lejia, and come back when the old marquis was angry.

I didn't want this to be known to the old marquis later, so I escaped to the border and was arrested. The old marquis, who was furious, immediately moved the family law, almost beat the eldest master to death, and said something, "It is impossible to marry Miss Lejia, unless he dies." ”

The old lady had no choice, so in order to save her son, she had to go to the Lejia family and ask them to give up the marriage. Miss Lejia hanged herself that night, and later rescued her, and the family moved out of the capital and was never heard from again.

This matter can be regarded as a compromise of Yuefu, and after waking up after the eldest lord recovered from his injury that year, he didn't even take the exam, and went crazy to find Miss Yuefu, and later got the news of Miss Yuefu's early death, so he completely lost his heart and married the current eldest lady.

"Old lady, in fact, it's not easy for you to ......" Du's mother remembered the thrilling back then, wiping her eyes, "At that time, there was no way." Poor Miss Yuefu, in order to save the eldest master, was willing to give up this marriage and leave Beijing with her family, but the later Miss Yuefu died of depression, only twenty-eight years old, what a pity!"

"yes, it's a pity. The old lady sighed, "Such a good man, at a young age, is gone, alas!"

Mother Du looked at the old lady and said, "Old lady, these things have passed for so many years, it's useless to think about it, it's better not to think about it." ”

The old lady shook her head: "Originally, I didn't think much about it, but I am so old, plus I look at the miasma in the house, and I see that the boss has become only a little bit of grandeur under the bullying of his daughter-in-law over the years, and there is no trace of the heroic spirit of the year, and the more I feel in my heart, the more I feel it......"

Mother Du nodded heavily, indicating that she echoed the old lady's statement. But in my heart I was very disapproving. I thought that if it wasn't for the old marquis's greed for vanity, why would he marry the current eldest lady and come back? Why would it make the big house and the second room incompatible? Why would the eldest lord endure humiliation and depression for so many years?

The old lady was sad for a while, and suddenly said, "Mother Du, you say, how can I make up for my debt to the boss?"

Mother Du shook her head and persuaded: "Old lady, don't think too much, let this past matter pass." This big man also has his own way of life, and we can't intervene or change it. ”

The old lady sighed again: "I know you are right, but in my heart, I always feel sorry for the boss, I want to make up for him, but I don't know how to compensate him." You said to marry him a favorite concubine to enter the door, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to tolerate it..."

Mother Du hurriedly said: "Old lady, don't think so. Now the eldest lady is a person with a body, even in the past, how could this eldest lady tolerate others? The eldest lady has not accepted concubines, as for the fate of those aunts, you have also seen ...... old lady"

The old lady was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Over there in the big room, you can't let that person sit big like this, when she was in her mother's house before, she was pampered, and she didn't practice "The Female Ring", after she gave birth to a child, I will find some "The Female Classic" and "The Female Ring" for her to read, at least let her know how to serve her husband and how to be a good wife!"

When Mother Du saw that the old lady said very solemnly, she thought that she was serious, and then she heard her say, "When she has a child", she couldn't help but want to laugh a little, and she couldn't help but laugh until a year later? I don't know what will happen at that time? Maybe her daughter will sit in the position of the crown princess, and then sit in the position of the queen, and then you will be an old lady of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, dare to touch the mother of the supreme queen?

The old lady is really old, and she pulls Du's mother and talks non-stop. When Du's mother couldn't help but yawn again and again, the old lady agreed to sleep. At this time, it has been nearly three watches. (To be continued......)
