In the early morning of the next day, Xu Wanzhen got up and went to greet Mrs. Xu. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info just took Sang Zi to Mrs. Xu's main room, and the nurse also took Xu Wenyu to arrive. There was a voice of talking in the main room, and Yulu opened the curtain and came out and said, "The eldest lady and the little young master have arrived, please go to Bisha Pavilion to rest first, and have breakfast over there later." ”

The person who spoke in the main room was Xu Minglu, the chief follower sent back by the second room of the Xu family: "The second master and his wife were so anxious when they heard that the uncle and the eldest young master were arrested, they hurriedly sent someone to the capital to clear the way." He sent me back to help, but I didn't expect to know that Mrs. Xu was gone as soon as I entered the door. ”

Mrs. Xu left a total of three sons, of which the eldest son Xu Changzong, the second son Xu Changrong were born by Mrs. Xu, and the third son Xu Changxing was born by Aunt Liu. Xu Changzong inherited the family business and operated the splendid record, Xu Changrong was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he studied poetry and books hard, and finally passed on the second class in Yonglong 11 years of high school after ten years. In the same year, she married Tu Qingyang, the niece of Mrs. Xu, who was "the title of the gold list, and the candle night in the cave room", which was full of spirit. Because she went to work immediately after getting married, for the sake of her heirs, Mrs. Xu asked Tu Qingyang to go to work with her husband.

Mrs. Xu asked, "Changrong has enough manpower?" is not as scholarly as the Sun family for generations, the children of the Sun family are in office, and the family will prepare staff, masters, and elders to follow the team. Xu Changrong, as a rookie in the officialdom, has insufficient team skills, and only relies on his teacher and classmates in the same year. At this time, he arranged for people to go to the capital and sent Xu Minglu back, and Mrs. Xu was worried that it would affect his career.

Xu Minglu replied: "Don't worry, the old lady, before the second master arrived, the master arranged for him to accompany him. He took out the letter and handed it to the old lady, and said: "Don't worry, the old lady can rest assured, today the villain received a letter from the second master in an urgent post station, and the letter said that the master replied, and the uncle and the little master were all fine in prison and did not suffer too much." It's just that there is something wrong with the cloth supplied to the royal family, and it depends on the meaning of the above to convict. The manpower at home is also dredging up the relationship, and if things go well, they can rush back around the Chinese New Year. ”

Mrs. Xu took the letter, read it carefully, and felt comforted in her heart. asked a few more questions about Xu Changrong's situation in office, sent Xu Minglu to rest, and rushed back to Sangquan County early the next morning to report the funeral.

The good news of Xu Changzong's case has released everyone's depressed mood recently, and the breakfast atmosphere is rare and relaxed. Xu Wanzhen noticed that the old lady had added an extra bowl of porridge, and Xu Wenyu was much more lively because of this.

In the backyard of the Sun family, Sun Zhitao, the second young master of the third room who was married to Xu Wanzhen, kept pacing in the study. He has a delicate face and an elegant temperament. Ranked ninth among the children and grandchildren of the entire Sun family, known as the Ninth Young Master.

After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Sun San hurriedly walked in. Sun Zhitao hurriedly asked, "Auntie, have you seen Grandma?

With a sad face, Mrs. Sun shook her head gently, handed him the letterhead she got from Mrs. Sun, and said, "Look for yourself, this is a letter written by your father in office." It is strictly ordered that the marriage with the Xu family must be quickly divorced without delay. ”

Sun Zhitao met Xu Wanzhen when he was ten years old when he went to Guangren Temple with his mother to offer incense. At that time, Xu Wanzhen was only nine years old, innocent and delicate, and she did not show contempt for the beggars on the roadside, and Mrs. Sun San also loved her very much. Later, the two grew up, and saw that Sun Zhitao put Xu Wanzhen in his heart, because he was not the eldest daughter-in-law, he did not have to bear the heavy responsibility of presiding over the feed, so he decided this family business according to his son's temperament. Otherwise, with the noble family of the Sun family, no matter how rich the Xu family is, it is not in the eyes of the Sun family.

After reading Daddy's letter, Sun Zhitao's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. The Sun family is a scholarly family, and they have a lot of connections in the court, plus Sun Sanye's classmate in the same year, even if it is a seven-grade county order, he can also get a glimpse of part of the truth of the matter. The letter is unbelievable. Sun Zhitao looked at A-Niang with red eyes, and Mrs. Sun said softly: "Tao'er, don't think about it." There's nothing we can do about it. ”

Sun Zhitao said angrily: "Isn't it unresolved?! Daddy is in a hurry to clear up the relationship now, which is cold!"

"How can Tao'er say that, Daddy!" said Mrs. Sun San, with a straight face: "When it comes to the royal bloodline, no one knows what the consequences will be." The master's decision was a little hasty, and he couldn't be affected by the three rooms or even the entire Sun family because of you. Wanzhen's child is cherished, but marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife will bring disaster to the whole family, even if you marry her and enter the door, how can the family tolerate her? There are so many twists and turns in the backyard, you can't protect her as a man, and her life will not be easy. ”

Sun Zhitao was enlightened at the age of six and received orthodox Confucian education, how could he not understand the truth that A-Niang said? It is precisely because he understands that the sense of powerlessness is even more profound. As a descendant of the Sun family, family responsibilities are more important than the beloved woman.

Mrs. Sun San looked at her deflated ball-like son and understood that Sun Zhitao would not insist anymore. It's normal to be unacceptable for a while, and you should be able to recover after a while. Then he said: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to think too much." During this time, you should go out more often, don't hold it in your heart. With that, he went out to take care of business.

Sun Zhitao was stunned for a while, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, and called, "Mozhu, you come in." ”

A handsome little guy walked in from outside the door, because he had been serving the ninth young master's pen and ink since he was a child, he also knew a few words, and he was a little more clever than other little guys. Seeing that the Ninth Young Master was listless, he knew that he was still worried about the affairs of Miss Xu's family, and he was instructed by the Third Lady to lead the Ninth Young Master out to play and relax, so he asked: "The Ninth Young Master is going out?" I know that a new pen and ink shop has recently opened in the city, which was opened by someone from Beijing, and there are many ink inkstones in it that I have never heard of. "Pen and ink have always been the Ninth Young Master's favorite, and picking this up is also to distract the Ninth Young Master's emotions.

Sun Zhitao waved his hand and said, "I'm not in the mood right now." Can you talk to Kudzuma?"

After the two families set themselves up, they often walked around during the New Year's holidays and sent people to give gifts to each other. Men and women are seven years old at different tables, in order to avoid suspicion, Sun Zhitao and Xu Wan can really meet for not much time, but they are familiar with each other. Mo Zhu is also extremely clever, and he likes Xu Wanzhen's two big girls, knowing that he is the henchman of his future uncle, and he is willing to say a few more words to him and build a good relationship. Sang Zi is in charge of Xu Wanzhen's personal affairs such as the key to the room and the hairpin ring, and he goes out less often. And Ge Ma has a lively temperament, manages the news of human relations, and has more contacts with Mozhu.

Mo Zhu said: "Yes, Ge Ma is the son of the Xu family, and her family is in the back lane of the Xu family." ”

Sun Zhitao thought for a while, "You want to find a way to get Ge Ma to send a message to her young lady, saying that I have something important to discuss with her." In order to avoid telling the truth, Sun Zhitao did not write a letter, untied the small seal he wore daily and handed it to Mozhu, and said: "This matter is extremely important, I can only tell Miss Xu in person, if you don't believe it, you can show her the small seal." ”

Mo Zhu should be, Sun Zhitao stared at him and said: "This matter can only be known to you and me, and you can't tell Ah Niang, otherwise you and I will be all over here." ”

This glance was extremely cold, and he saw that Mo Zhu's back was cold, and he was relieved when he exited the study and went to work seriously.

After Mozhu left, Sun Zhitao muttered to himself, "Going out is a taboo during the period of heavy filial piety, if you can't see it, how can you tell her this news?"

Dozens of miles away from Suzhou City, there is a cloud mountain, the mountain is high and dense, and the clouds and mist are shrouded. There are many wild animals such as hares and pheasants in the mountains. Further into the mountains, there is no shortage of tigers, leopards and other fierce beasts. There are twenty or thirty households in the middle of the mountainside, forming a small village, which is mainly dominated by hunters, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, so it is called Yunwu Village. Right now, it's time to cook dinner in the village, and the smoke curls from every house, and the chickens and dogs are singing each other, which is a peaceful scene.

In one of the small courtyards sat a black-faced man, staring at himself in a daze. A middle-aged woman walked out of the house, in order to facilitate her work, wrapped in a headscarf and rolled up her sleeves, and washed some white coarse cloth clothes cleanly, she was a neat and capable middle-aged woman. I heard her shout: "Black dog, is the firewood chopped? What are you doing here?"

When the black dog heard it, he suddenly woke up, "Oh, A-Niang, it's almost right." ”

The woman wondered, "Have you been in a daze since you came back from the city yesterday, and your soul has been lost in the city?"

"A-Niang, there is one thing, I said it and I am afraid that you will be uncomfortable. ”

"What's the matter? Say it quickly, don't be tired and crooked. The woman urged.

"I entered the city yesterday and heard a news that the eldest lady of the Xu family is gone. The black dog buried his head and didn't dare to look at A-Niang's face.

The woman's face turned pale when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "Is it the eldest lady of the Xu family who saved my life in Suzhou City back then?"

"It's her, I've asked a few people repeatedly, and it must be true. ”

Hearing the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the woman's eyes were dark, and she almost collapsed to the ground, and the black dog hurriedly helped her up. I heard her muttering, "When I had a sudden emergency in the city, you carried me everywhere to seek medical treatment, and you didn't dare to accept it when you ran a few medical centers, for fear that your mother would die in him." Thanks to Mrs. Xu for finding a famous doctor for me, I was able to pick up a life. After that, he looked at the black dog: "We don't know each other, she tried her best to help me, and left me the money to buy medicine." Such a good person, how can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone?"

The black dog told the woman what he had heard, and for a moment both mother and son were helpless. After a while, the woman said, "During this time, you should go to the city more often and inquire carefully." There's no way we can help. "The black dog answered.

What happened in this mountain, Xu Wanzhen would not know. At that time, Mrs. Xu did not tell her family about helping the woman. In her opinion, since she has encountered it, it is a common thing to save someone's life. But for the black dog mother and son, it is a life-saving kindness. This mother and son are very kind people, knowing that their family and the Xu family are far away, they have kept this kindness in their hearts for many years, silently prayed for Mrs. Xu, and did not go to disturb.
