The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty can have a day of rest every ten days, and the old lady calculates a good day to send people to Hangzhou to ask for Yuan Zheng, but the people here have not yet left the house, but Xie Fu, the housekeeper of the political envoy's mansion, came to Zhuangzi in person.

Xie Fu's family has been a slave in the old lady's mother's house Xie Mansion for generations, and even the surname is given by the master's family, he has served by Yuan Zheng's side since he was a child, his ability is very outstanding, and he is also extremely loyal to the old lady's mother and son.

On weekdays, he was busy taking care of the big and small affairs in the Yuanzheng Mansion, except for the New Year's Festival, he rarely had time to greet the old lady, and today he suddenly came in a hurry, which made Wu's mother and others a little uneasy.

When the old lady heard that Xie Fu was coming, she knew that Yizhu'er was a daughter-in-law and a moth again, so she hurriedly invited him into the house.

As soon as Xie Fu entered the house, he hurriedly knelt down in front of the old lady, and said with a hint of hoarseness in his voice: "Old lady, please go to the mansion, the slave is really out of line." ”

The old lady was a little sullen when she heard this, and Mother Wu hurriedly stepped forward to smooth her out, and said to Xie Fu a little dissatisfied: "Xiaofuzi, you are in your thirties, why are you still so frizzy, the old lady is old, can you stand up to you like this!"

Xie Fu's face suddenly turned red, and he pulled his hair with regret, he kneeled to the old lady's side and said with a bitter face: "Old lady, they are all slaves who are ignorant, you can dissipate your anger first." ”

The old lady finally got her way, and she said to Mother Wu on the side: "Aunt Cui, you go to Mother Zhao and Zhujun Lanyun, let them take good care of Doudou, and let someone prepare the carriage, and you can follow me into the city later." ”

Mother Wu was the old lady's confidant, so she naturally understood what she meant, and took out a few maids who were waiting on the side.

Soon only the old lady and Xie Fu were left in the main room, she took a deep breath and motioned for him to stand up and reply, "Say, what's the matter with the Gu family." ”

Xie Fu stood up and replied, "A few days ago, Doctor Mo came to the house and said that the eldest lady's illness has been cured......

"What! Sister Xiang'er's illness ......," the old lady couldn't wait to interrupt Xie Fu's words.

"Don't worry, old lady, listen to the slave slowly. Doctor Mo came back to Hangzhou a few days ago, saying that his brother promised to treat the eldest lady's illness, but the Gongsun Divine Doctor never came out of the clinic, and if he wanted to treat the disease, he had to send the eldest lady to his house. Unexpectedly, when the second lady learned about it, she made a fuss, not to say that the second master couldn't tolerate their mother and daughter, and wanted to ......" Xie Fu felt very annoyed when he said this.

"What's so hard to say, isn't it just that you suspect that Zheng'er wants to take a concubine, and dislike that she can't give birth to a son, Sister Xiang is a girl and weak! It's also worth your own trip!"

"Old lady, there was a lot of trouble today, and the second master's face was scratched...... Later, I don't know what the second lady said, but the second master was angry and said that he wanted to ...... was going to divorce her, and the second lady was also angry and said that she wanted to leave, and the slave saw that it was going to make a big fuss, so he sealed the second door, so the matter should not have been spread out of the house...... The slave really has no choice, so he has to come and beg the old lady in person!"

When the old lady heard that her son's face was scratched, her temples jumped with anger, and she still didn't know who her son was? When did she ever do anything with someone in the past few decades! The most important thing an official cares about is his face, and the end of the year is the busiest time in the yamen, what does the Gu family want to make trouble!

"Old lady, the car is ready. "Wu's mother's voice came from outside.

"Let's go. The old lady walked out of the main room quickly.

※※※※

An hour later, the group arrived at the residence of the political envoy.

The outside of the house and the outer courtyard are as usual, it seems that Xie Fu sealed the second door in a timely manner, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the inner courtyard with the support of Wu's mother.

At this time, the inner courtyard also seemed to be calm, the maids and mothers-in-law all scattered to do things, but no one got together to talk nonsense, the old lady turned her head to Xie Fu behind her and said: "Xiaofuzi, you and your daughter-in-law are good, the inner and outer courtyards are well organized, and your lord has also lost you all these years." ”

"This is all a matter for the slave, and the old lady should not praise it. Xie Fu said politely.

The old lady waved her hand and slowly walked into Yuan Zheng's study in the inner courtyard.

The study is not big, but it is very bright and clean, there is a small blue and white porcelain fish tank near the window, Yuan Zheng, who is dressed in a cyan Confucian robe, stands by the fish tank with his back to the study door, as if he is feeding a few koi fish in it.

When the old lady saw that he still had the heart to do this, she put down a lot of the heart she had been carrying.

"Zheng'er, my mother has come to see you. The old lady stood beside the bookcase and whispered.

Yuan Zheng's back stiffened when he heard this familiar voice, but he didn't dare to turn his head around, and continued to throw fish food into the fish tank.

"Xie Fu is becoming more and more unreliable, and how big things are actually alarming my mother. I could only hear him speak in a soft voice, as if nothing had happened today.

How could the old lady not understand her son, the more difficult the things she encountered, the more she had such an indifferent attitude, just afraid that she would be worried about being a mother.

She walked quickly to Yuan Zheng's side and forcibly pulled him around to face her, and sure enough, there were several deep red marks on the white right cheek, although it had been cleaned and medicated, it was still very dazzling.

The old lady's eyes immediately turned red, and her trembling hands tried to touch her son's cheeks.

Yuan Zheng gently held his mother's hand and said with a light smile: "Mother, it's okay, it'll be fine in a few days." ”

"Zheng'er, mother doesn't want to ask what happened to you and the Gu family today, she just wants to know what you plan?" the old lady looked directly into her son's eyes and said with a straight face.

Yuan Zheng helped her to sit down on the official hat chair on the side, and he stood aside and sighed and said: "What else can I do, she and I are married by His Majesty, how easy is it to separate? Not to mention that Xiang'er is eight years old, how can I live a good life, if we can live together for ten years, we can live for twenty or thirty years......"

"What about the Gu family? The old lady said.

Yuan Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The old lady paused, thought about her granddaughter, and hurriedly asked, "I heard Xie Fu say that Sister Xiang'er's illness can be cured?"

Yuan Zheng heard his mother mention this, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Divine Doctor Mo easily found out the whereabouts of Divine Doctor Gongsun, and ran away in person, and finally got the letter." It's just that the request made by Gongsun Divine Doctor not only wants us to send Xiang'er to him, but it is also said that it will take at least five years to completely recover, so Ah Chao ......"

"Zheng'er, when is it, you are still using these words to perfunctory me, no matter how bad Gu Shi is, she is also Sister Xiang's mother, let alone five years, as long as she can be cured, it will be twenty years, so what! What else is going on here?" The old lady was a little angry.

Yuan Zheng suddenly had a big head when he heard this, and it was really ...... to have a mother who was too sharp

Seeing that he refused to speak, the old lady stood up and glared at him and said, "Don't you say that I will go to the Gu family by myself." She flicked her sleeves and walked out of the study.

"Hey, mother......" Yuan Zheng couldn't stop the old lady, and shook his head helplessly.
