"Okay, Aunt Luo will go back first, it's late tonight, and you should be more diligent in the future." ”

The smile on Aunt Luo's face quickly froze there, her face turned red and white, white and red, and the person who was unusually clever in the past actually looked a little helpless.

"Auntie, please!"

It was Zangrui who relieved her, "The maid sent it to my aunt, and it just so happened that my grandmother still had something to send to the sixth and seventh girls." ”

"Yes, yes, the concubine knows!"

Aunt Luo finally came back to her senses, the smile on her face regathered, and she agreed to retreat again and again.

Zhou Mingshan moved the corners of her mouth, thought about it and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

She shouldn't take care of the affairs between her mother and aunt, and there is no need to talk too much.

"You, you still have this temper!" Yuan Shi was amused by the way she wanted to speak and stopped, and stretched out his finger to touch her forehead affectionately, "Don't worry! ”

Now that the Yuan family is clear, there is no need for her to ask more, and it is also the proper meaning of the aunt to make rules, but the Yuan family was too lenient before.

Zhou Mingshan and Yuan took a car to the Xianguo Mansion.

The Xingyuan Marquis Mansion is in the six alleys, and the Xianguo Mansion is in the East Street of the Fu, both of which are under the root of the imperial city, and they are two streets away.

Zhou Mingshan had been to the Xianguo Mansion before, and he didn't think so.

But a few girls are different, especially Hongyun who came with her this time, although she had also gone to the Xianguo Mansion to do things before, she didn't dare to look around after all. This time, it was not easy to ask Zhou Mingshan to follow, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of excitement, and Shuyun, who followed Yuan, lowered his voice and chirped to discuss the appearance of the Xianguo Mansion.

Zhou Mingshan leaned on the cushion, half-closed eyes and followed the rhythm of the car swaying, but his ears did not miss the occasional cries from the morning market outside, which sounded fresh and joyful.

She suddenly remembered that the last time she went to Xishan Zhuangzi, she saw the farmers and children who had gone to the fields to farm and returned late, humming a country tune in their mouths, probably they were all in the same mood.

The occasional whisper of red clouds and sparse clouds came from the quiet carriage, as well as the "kicking" sound of the ruts falling to the ground outside the carriage, forming a peculiar rhythm.

It's so quiet!

Wrong!

Zhou Mingshan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her mother Yuan.

Her face was slightly pale, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead in the March weather, and the plain brocade handkerchief in her hand was wrapped around her fingers.

Zhou Mingshan was taken aback, Yuan's road was too quiet, and she barely made a sound since she got in the car.

Zhou Mingshan also noticed that something was wrong just now.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?

Hongyun and Shuyun next to her were also alarmed, especially Shuyun, she couldn't help but blame herself for being careless, she didn't even notice that her grandmother was uncomfortable, and she was going to be counted down by Sister Zangrui when she went back, she quickly took the warm teapot from the small table next to her and poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Yuan, "Grandma, drink some water!"

Yuan took the teacup, took it to his lips and took several sips before shaking his head at Zhou Mingshan and said, "Don't worry, my mother is fine, I just feel stuffy in the car." ”

Zhou Mingshan was a little puzzled.

Although there is not much space in the car, it is more than enough to accommodate four of their masters and servants, and there is still a place to move and turn around; the window of the car is covered with a light soft smoke, which is not clear from the outside, but it is very clear from the inside to the outside, it is not only breathable but not blocking the light, and she seems to smell the fragrance of the willow buds on the embankment outside.

Besides, my mother didn't go out when the weather was hotter than this before, but I didn't see it stuffy like this.

"Mother, do you want to stop and rest before leaving?"

Yuan's fingers moved, and the handkerchief seemed to be tighter again, but he shook his head and said, "No need, I'll be here soon, my mother will be fine, I'll be fine in a while!"

The frame was still moving forward in "Gaden Gaden", but Hongyun and Shuyun didn't dare to whisper anymore, looking at each other and making eye contacts.

The carriage was eerily quiet for a while.

Yuan's face was still ugly, and he seemed to be sweating on his forehead.

Just as Zhou Mingshan wanted to call someone to stop, Yuan spoke.

"Fu'er, do you think we shouldn't come today?"

Zhou Mingshan was stunned.

Why shouldn't you come?

She looked at Yuan's expectant eyes suspiciously, and for a moment, Zhou Mingshan suddenly understood.

Mother is nervous.

But why are you so nervous?

Even if the Xianguo Mansion is prominent, but her mother is also the third grandmother of the Xingyuan Marquis Mansion, and she also socialized with her grandmother when she was young, and she has not been to a more prestigious mansion than the Xianguo Mansion in the years after getting married.

Before she could figure it out, Yuan Shi said again, "Look at what stupid things I said?" she just ......looked at Zhou Mingshan when she wanted to speak, "Mother is afraid that Fu'er will be wronged, and you also know that some people outside always like to talk about other people's rights and wrongs...... Otherwise, you go back first...... That's not going to work......

Zhou Mingshan's heart suddenly swelled with a warm current, reaching all the limbs, and at this moment she actually had the urge to throw herself into Yuan's arms and cry.

Mother actually cared so much about her feelings, just because she was worried that people outside would gossip about her, so she was nervous all the way to this point, and she wanted her well, and ran around for her family affairs.

She felt a little tightness in her throat, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the wetness that welled up in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Mother, you also underestimate your daughter, what does it matter if a few gossips from outsiders, my daughter doesn't care, what do they have to do with me!"

After a pause, he said, "It's you, don't be like this in the future, if you feel uncomfortable, say it early, scare me to death!"

She pretended to be frightened and deliberately slapped her chest.

Yuan believed it, and hurriedly leaned over and gently stroked her back, "It's all bad for my mother, my mother is really fine, don't worry!"

Zhou Mingshan took advantage of the situation to hug Yuan's family, and the familiar warm fragrance of magnolia was filled between her mouth and nose, which was so comfortable that she was drowsy, and the car was suddenly filled with a warm atmosphere.

Seeing that it was a false alarm, Hongyun and Shuyun finally put their minds at ease, the two glanced at each other, and they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to prepare the things to be used when they got out of the car.

Because of the large number of guests, there was a long queue in front of the Mu Mansion, and it took a while to arrive at the Hanging Flower Gate.

As soon as their mother and daughter got out of the car, Mu Er's wife Cui Shi was already smiling and came up to hold Yuan's hand, "You are here, the old lady is still chattering just now!"

It is estimated that he didn't expect Cui's to be so enthusiastic, Yuan's stiffness for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and smiled and supported the other party to return the salute, "I'm sorry for you to come out in person!"

Cui's smile deepened a little and looked at Zhou Mingshan, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and the four girls have become beautiful again!"

Zhou Mingshan hurriedly saluted and replied with a smile, "The second wife is good, the second wife is too awarded! The second wife is getting younger and younger!"

Cui Shi "giggled" and laughed, and the pearl pendant on his ear swayed slightly, with an indescribable sense of playfulness.
