At night, the door of Jiangfu was blown by the wind, and a carriage stopped at the back door.

Mother Xue, who was beside the Gui family, pushed the door open with this big burden, it was late at night, and the surroundings were quiet, so she carefully got into the carriage.

"Let's go. She whispered to the coachman, but he did not move immediately, but turned to look at her, and asked with a smile, "Where is this going, Mom?"

"Why are you?" Mother Xue looked around and asked, "What about Rongjin?"

Among the many coachmen, she trusts Rong Jin the most, and whenever she goes out, she must call him.

"Brother Rong has an urgent matter at home, let me take his place. The coachman replied, Xue's mother looked him up and down, people have seen it, Rong Jin took care of him a few times before, but it is not very reliable.

Mother Xue was a little dissatisfied in her heart, complaining that Rong Jin didn't tell her in advance that she would be replaced, if she had known that it was the kid in front of her, she would definitely find someone more stable.

But at this time, she couldn't delay, so she had to tell the coachman: "Go to Yuanshi Town." ”

Yuanshi Town is a small town near Shangjing, not too far away. When the coachman heard her words, he immediately waved his whip and asked casually: "It's so late, what are you doing in Yuanshi Town?"

"Go see an elder. After Xue's mother answered, she lowered the curtain and refused to say more.

The coachman is also a well-informed person and doesn't ask questions. The carriage was not running too fast, and Mother Xue took a nap in the carriage.

When she arrived in Yuanshi Town, it was not yet dawn, and Mother Xue woke up suddenly, she opened the curtain and glanced out and said, "Just stop here, you can wait for me here, my elder lives nearby." ”

She got out of the carriage and hurried away. There were few people on the street at this time, so she turned into the alley and quickly found a house and pushed the door in.

Jiang Yiqi got up early, and at this time he happened to be reading a book in the room with the lamp on, and when he heard the movement, he opened the door and looked into the courtyard.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that it was Mother Xue, he was a little surprised. Although Mother Xue would come over to see her from time to time, it was too early today.

"Madame had a nightmare at night, worried about her son, and her whole heart was restless, so the slave maid came to see you for her. When Mother Xue saw Jiang Yinian, her expression immediately relaxed a lot, and she replied and walked into the room to put down the burden in her hand.

Jiang Yinian poured a cup of tea for her and said, "Mother is very thoughtful, and she couldn't let me go in the academy in the past, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, the son is here, and the slave and maid are also thinking about you all day long, I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat well and dress warmly!"

"Although Yuanshi Town is not as good as Shangjing, it is not bad, you and your mother don't worry too much about me. Jiang Yinian stared at the food and said.

Mother Xue sighed, and when she looked up at Jiang Yinian, she always felt that he had lost weight, so she couldn't help but say: "I have wronged my son, but Mrs. is kind-hearted and always reluctant to refuse people, so you can stay for a while." In a few days, the slave will persuade Madame to let you go home. ”

"I don't feel bitter here, you relax. If my mother can live, I can live too. Jiang Yinian was relieved that he just wanted to stay in the house during this year's festival. But a few days ago, the Gui family suddenly received a letter sent to Jiangfu by one of her elders.

This elder Jiang Yinian has not seen it, but only heard from the Gui family that she was fostered in that person's house when she was a child. But the family was not good to the Gui family, and the contradictions became bigger and bigger, and it seems that after the Gui family was taken home, the family moved out of Shangjing and broke off contact from then on.

Now that the elder is broken, and there are no children under his knees, he thinks of the Gui family he once raised. She thought that she didn't have the face to go to the Jiang family, and the letter only said that she hoped that the Gui family would go to the old mansion in Yuanshi Town, and wanted to see her for the last time and leave some things for her.

After living together for so long, the Gui family couldn't turn a blind eye, but she didn't want to recall the pain of her childhood, and after thinking about it, she decided to let Jiang Yinian, who was doing things safely, come for her, which could be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

Jiang Yinian learned these things from the Gui family, and he was willing to do it for his mother, who knew that when he came here accompanied by Xue's mother, the courtyard was empty.

The Gui family naturally refused to let him stay here, but he was afraid that his mother would have regrets in the future, so he decided to wait for the elder here, and after waiting for a while, many days passed. He didn't think there was anything, but the Gui family was in a hurry, and from time to time he would ask Mother Xue to come over to see him.

He asked about Mother Xue's house, and asked her to take care of the Gui family, Mother Xue nodded and finally got up and looked out the window, and said, "Okay, Son, everything is fine with you, and I will go back to pay for it." ”

"You can rest for a while and then leave!" Jiang Yinian said to stop him, it was not yet dawn at the moment, and Mother Xue came at night again, and she must be tired.

"There are a lot of things going on in the house during the New Year's Festival, and I still have to go back to help Madame. Mother Xue had no intention of staying, and as soon as the words fell, she had already gone out.

Jiang Yinian also knew that the family was busy at this time, so he didn't say much, he sent Xue's mother to the gate of the courtyard and watched her leave.

Mother Xue walked forward for a long time, and suddenly turned around and said, "Childe, you can stay here with peace of mind, you have come here, if you miss it, it will be in vain, and you can't suffer in vain!"

Xu was afraid that Jiang Yinian would be disgusted with the days here, so she promised: "Madam said, in a few days, if you really can't see anyone, you will be allowed to go back, as for her elder...... It's like there's no fate!"

Seeing Jiang Yinian nodding, she finally left with peace of mind.

Back in the room, Jiang Yinian put away the things brought by Xue's mother, and looked around the room, it turned out that his mother had lived here since she was a child, and he remembered the complicated emotions in Gui's eyes when he mentioned the elder, and he was also a little apprehensive.

Some people become good when they get old, but after all, they are people who have done evil to their mothers, how can he face them calmly? Jiang Yinian shook his head, picked up the previous book and turned a few pages.

"Whoosh-" sounded, a stone flew in from the window, Jiang Yinian was startled, and put the book down.

This time he was in a hurry, and he only brought a small servant with him, and the little servant had not yet gotten up, and there was no one else in the yard, who could it be?

The courtyard was deserted, and no one was seen.

"Strange, could it be a passing wild cat?" Jiang Yinian muttered to himself, and after speaking, he felt that it was impossible, there were indeed wild cats in this yard sometimes, but I didn't see any wild cats that could throw stones in.

He didn't intend to delve into it, so he stretched out his hand to close the window, but when he looked down, his eyes were fixed on the window.

There was a letter lying there.

Jiang Yinian's heart beat faster suddenly, he thought of the elders of the Gui family, could it be that the old man was always there, but he didn't want to see him in person? He squeezed the letter in his hand hard, and finally returned to the table and sat down, slowly opening the envelope.
