The next day, before Zheng Sui went to the school, her sister-in-law took her to Guining Courtyard to meet her aunt.

When he was in Pingcheng, Zheng Sui heard his grandmother say that the older generation of the Zheng family had a widow who lived at home, who was the younger sister of his grandfather.

Aunt Grandma married Taiyuan Wang Chen in her early years, later, Wang Chen died young, and did not leave a son and a half daughter, great-grandfather took Aunt Grandma back to the Zheng family in Xingyang, when she was young, her great-grandmother also thought about remarrying Aunt Zu, only because Aunt Grandma did not agree to give up, Aunt Grandma had five brothers, of which the grandfather was the elder, when the grandfather was there, there was a saying: Aunt Grandma lived in the Zheng family for a long time, in order to serve her parents and did not remarry, after a hundred years, she will be buried in the ancestral grave as a filial daughter, next to her parents.

Therefore, since the death of my grandmother, my grandmother has become the eldest elder in the long house.

As soon as he entered the yard, Zheng Sui found that this courtyard was different from other places, the yard did not raise flowers and plants, birds and fish, and it was a green vegetable field, surrounded by a fence woven of bamboo, the hens clucked, the roosters ran around, and flocks of ducks rushed into the water, full of vitality.

Among them was an old woman with silver hair, who was squatting in the vegetable field, as if weeding, and the maidservants were all outside the fence, and none of them went into the garden.

Outside the fence, in addition to the servants and maidservants, Zheng Sui saw the fourth sister Zheng Fan at a glance, and couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, going to the school from Wangshuo Garden, where the fourth sister lived, was not on the way, and at the same time, the fourth sister also saw them, but her expression seemed to be flustered for a moment.

As soon as the maid saw Li leading Zheng Sui in, she hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, and the servant woman closest to the vegetable field reminded: "Auntie, Li Sanniang has come over with ten ladies." ”

Immediately afterward, I heard Li laughing and shouting Aunt Zu.

I only heard the old woman squatting in the vegetable field answer, and said softly, "Why did you come so early," and did not get up immediately, only turned his head slightly, and looked at Zheng Sui and Li's side, only at a glance, he saw the smile on the old woman's face suddenly, and shouted Ah Qi in surprise, and was so shocked that he hurriedly stood up straight, and wanted to walk out of the garden, if it wasn't for the nearest servant woman and Zheng Fan who stepped forward to support him, he almost fell.

Li was almost frightened, let go of the hand holding Zheng Sui, and hurriedly walked over, reaching out to help the old woman out of the vegetable field.

The old woman stood firmly, didn't let Li support her, and pushed away the servant woman who was supporting her and Zheng Fan, "I'm fine, I don't need your help." After speaking, she walked up to Zheng Sui and looked at the childish face in front of her, her expression was still in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to the scene when she first saw Ah Qi in the Lu family decades ago.

At that time, Ah Qi was probably that big......

Zheng Sui looked at the old woman in front of her who was obviously distracted, her hair was gray, she was dressed in coarse linen, her face was white, but there were still wrinkles that could not be covered, she looked like she was about sixty years old, and she thought that her sister-in-law Li had just called her aunt, so she called her aunt.

Hearing this call, Mrs. Zheng came back to her senses, looked down at Zheng Sui, smiled, remembered the words reminded by A-Ying beside Fang Cai, looked at Zheng Sui and said, "You are the tenth lady." ”

"Shi Niang and Wu Lang just arrived home the night before, and yesterday they were busy worshipping their ancestors, knowing that your old man has been quiet, and he doesn't like the younger generation to disturb, so he didn't bring their brothers and sisters over to meet you. ”

Mrs. Zheng looked at Li and smiled, Li's heart was empty, and she just wanted to move away, but Mrs. Zheng had already turned her eyes, and a servant next to her brought water, and Mrs. Zheng cleaned her hands first.

Zheng Fan on the side stepped forward and called out to his sister-in-law, feeling worried, Li only glanced at her, quite meaningful, but did not ask more.

Zheng Sui called out to his sister.

After Mrs. Zheng finished washing her hands, she stepped forward and stared at Zheng Sui for a while, stretched out her hand full of green tendons, and touched Zheng Sui's head, "No wonder your grandmother has been reluctant to let you and Gorou come back all these years, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to give it back this time." ”

Zheng Sui didn't dodge this time, she saw the joy of this grandmother, and she had seen it in her grandmother.

"I can't bear my grandmother. ”

As soon as Zheng Sui's voice fell, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but sneer, "In the end, you grew up from a young age, and your grandmother hasn't raised you in vain all these years." ”

After a pause, he asked, "How are your grandmother and grandfather doing lately?"

"My grandfather and grandmother were in good health. ”

Mrs. Zheng nodded slightly, "Okay, let's say it, since the last time she came to Xingyang to pick up your brothers and sisters, your grandmother and I haven't seen each other for eight years." ”

Her husband's sister, married to Lu's brother, she married into the Wang family at the beginning of the year, followed her husband to the sister-in-law Lu's house, just when the Lu family took the children back to their parents' home to Ning, that is, she saw Zheng Sui's mother Ah Qi for the first time, at that time, how old Ah Qi was? She can't remember it now, and she is only ten years old, and Zheng Sui almost looks exactly the same as now.

At that time, she only thought that this little lady was beautiful and very likable, and when she heard that Ah Qi had never been engaged, she thought that her nephew Zheng Han had not yet been engaged.

So, later, the marriage between Ah Qi and Shiro was brokered by her.
