Chapter 9: Elm Pimples

"Those things are long gone, what do you mean by that? Gu Chao easily calmed down the resentment in his heart, and brought the brewed tea to the old lady.

"Sure enough, it makes good tea. The old lady sniffed lightly and praised it, she put the somewhat hot teacup on the table and continued: "It is indeed long past in our place, what about you? At that time, I was pregnant with Sister Xiang and did such a stupid thing! Now I am disheartened, and you are unwilling, Gu Chao, have you thought about it, what do you want?"

Gu Chao sneered: "You will only blame me, what about Yuan Zheng, he was full of eyes at that time and only Gu Xi, when did he put me in his eyes again?"

"You will also say that it was 'that time', who didn't have Mu Shaoai when you were young? Not to mention that Gu Xi and you are twin sisters, both talent and appearance are not inferior to you, and your personality is much more pleasing, Zheng'er has a good impression of her, but she has never been entangled, is this also wrong?" The old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law.

"That's it, this time I sent Sister Xiang to treatment, why don't you let me, a mother, take her there, but you want to go to Xie Min? Your own niece has not married for so many years, what have you been waiting for, don't say you don't know!" Gu Chao said, his eyes turned red again.

The old lady laughed angrily at her, "Gu Chao, looking at the entire Great Zhou, can you still find a mother-in-law like me? You have been in the door for ten years, have I ever rewarded half of the people who served Zheng'er? I admit that I originally thought about letting Min Niang marry Zheng'er, but since you became my daughter-in-law, I have never had such a thought, your Gu family's daughter-in-law is expensive, and no one has ever been a concubine, should my Xie family's daughter be subservient to you? Joke!"

Seeing that she lowered her head and stopped talking, the old lady's tone slowed down slightly, "Ah Chao, you are no longer thirteen or fourteen years old when your love has just begun, you shouldn't be repeatedly entangled in those feelings and loves, it's not easy to be an official, when you come home, you make trouble like this again, who can stand it? The reason why Sister Xiang let Min Niang go for treatment this time is not because the person who really has a relationship with Doctor Mo is she and not Zheng'er, besides, with your temperament, ......"

The following words The old lady was embarrassed to say, the Gongsun Divine Doctor is a master in the world, will he look down on Gu Chao's virtue?

Gu Chao still lowered his head, and the big teardrops fell to the ground, the old lady was upset when she saw it, and so many words were wasted today, this was simply an elm pimple! I wanted to discuss Doudou's matter with her, but at this moment, I completely calmed that thought.

"Okay, this matter is settled, let Min Niang take Sister Xiang'er there. After they leave, you take care of the middle feed in the house, and more importantly, calm down and adjust your body, your husband and wife are not young anymore, how can you have a son to inherit the incense. The old lady stood up directly.

"I knew that...... You didn't have a good heart at all, you just dislike me for not giving you a grandchild, and you dislike our Xiang'er......" Gu Chao raised his head and choked up.

"Shut up!" the old lady scolded angrily, "Look at the way you look now, where is there still half a point of the demeanor of a noble lady, I will leave my words here today, just a year, if you can't conceive a child again, I have to add someone to Zheng'er's side, I don't believe I will not be able to hold a grandson!"

Gu Chao seemed to be frightened by the old lady's sudden strength, and the whole person was stunned and crooked on the chair.

The old lady did not look at her anymore, and turned and walked out of the main room.

※※※※

Outside the main room, Yuan Zheng, who looked helpless, immediately greeted his mother when he saw him.

The old lady was too lazy to take care of him, and helped Wu's mother to walk forward.

"Mother!" Yuan Zheng followed closely behind, grabbing the old lady's sleeve.

The old lady turned her head to look at him and said lightly: "Have you been standing outside for a long time, did you hear what I just said?"

"Don't make jokes like that. Yuan Zheng said with a bitter face.

The old lady brushed out her sleeves and said with a cold face: "Who is joking with you, I just want a grandson!

Seeing that the second master, who had been in a high position for a long time, was very embarrassed by the old lady, Mother Wu hurriedly came over and said, "Old lady, why do you only care about being angry with the second master, we are here to see the eldest girl today." Said that, Chao Yuan Zheng made a look.

Yuan Zheng hurriedly picked up the old lady's arm on the other side, and the three of them walked towards Yuan Xiang's courtyard together.

Yuan Xiang is eight years old this year, because of her body, the Xiangyi Courtyard where she lives is located in the most sunny place in the entire mansion, Rao is so, every year she is only the hottest months to be able to leave the inner room to breathe a little, now it is the end of autumn, almost all day can only lie in bed.

It is also for this reason that Yuan Xiang never sees outsiders when he is a child, and Gu Chao is not a mother who can raise children, she is extremely weak and timid, and she doesn't even like to contact the grandmother of the old lady.

Several people came outside the house, and Yuan Xiang's nurse Duan's mother said softly after seeing the two of them: "Sister is asleep, the old lady and the second master should go in." ”

The mother and son walked into the inner room gently, only to see Yuan Xiang's small body wrapped in a big quilt, as if it would disappear in the blink of an eye.

The old lady couldn't help but think of Doudou's healthy and lively little appearance, obviously one was six years old, the other was eight years old, and the six-year-old looked much older than the eight-year-old, and her heart suddenly ached.

She walked slowly to the bed, listened to Yuan Xiang's thin and even breathing, stretched out her hand and gently stroked the pale and thin but very peaceful little face, and a line of tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Mother......" Yuan Zheng couldn't help but speak.

The old lady waved her hand and motioned for him not to wake the child. After a pillar of incense, the mother and son reluctantly left Yuan Xiang's house.

"Zheng'er, did Doctor Mo say when to leave?" the old lady asked as she walked.

"About half a month later. Yuan Zheng frowned.

"Can Sister Xiang'er's body withstand the long journey? Not to mention that the weather is getting colder and colder. The old lady looked worried.

"Don't worry, Doctor Gongsun has thought through these situations, and Xiang'er will definitely be able to arrive at his mansion smoothly. Yuan Zheng said soothingly.

The old lady had no choice but to nod.

Yuan Zheng looked at the sky, and saw that the sun was already in the west, and he smiled: "It's rare for my mother to come here, so let's rest tonight." ”

The old lady hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head and said, "There are still people waiting for me in the Zhuangzi, I have to rush back." ”

She thought for a while and said: "I have something for you to do, you can also go with me, anyway, your face has been made like this, don't go out to meet those colleagues these days, just take a few days off." ”

"Then how to do it, you know, at the end of the year, things are piling up in the yamen, and everything that should be solved must be solved before the year, how can you go away!" Yuan Zheng directly rejected the old lady.

"I have been an official for more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Without you, the family will not be alive? You are embarrassed to let the family know that you have been scratched by your daughter-in-law, and my old woman cannot afford to lose this person! Let Xie Fu go to the yamen to ask you for three days off, won't those under you who participate in politics and deliberations know how to do things?" The old lady was a little impatient after grinding her lips on this day.

"What the hell is it that you have to go to?" Yuan Zheng wondered.

"If you want to know, follow me!" said the old lady, pulling her son and walking out.
