Chapter 26: The Eve of Parting (1)

Yuan Zheng has known Mama Jin for 20 years, and he has seen her very unpleasantly since he was a child, she is a woman with deep scheming and means.

At that time, he never thought that he would have such a deep fate with Mama Jin, and he could live under the same roof for so many years, and it seems that this fate will continue.

Mama Jin's status in Gu Chao's heart may not even be as important as her mother, Mrs. Gu, but he watched coldly for a long time, but he didn't think that Gu Chao could have such a heavy position in her heart.

At the beginning, the Queen Mother asked her to raise the prospective crown princess, which is enough to see that she very much agrees that she has this ability. With Gu Chao's qualifications, he was actually taught like this in a few years, and the reason is very interesting.

If His Majesty didn't interfere at the beginning, Gu Chaoshun became the crown princess, and Mama Jin was the number one celebrity around the crown princess, then for her, is this crown princess shrewd and capable, or is it better to put her first in everything now? The answer is self-evident.

It's just that Gu Chao failed to become the crown princess, and he hated everyone around her, but he still regarded her as a confidant, although it was inconvenient for the queen mother to summon her into the palace again, she didn't blame her for half a sentence, this is the most powerful thing about the old woman.

It's a pity, I don't have the ability to be reincarnated as a prince or anything, and the old woman's ability and ambition have come to naught, hehe......

"Ah Chao, it's been a tiring day, you should rest early. Yuan Zheng commanded, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait. Gu Chaoyi grabbed his sleeve, "Where are you going?" Her husband was going to leave so late, so where would her face go!

"I've been sick for the past few days, and I've been delayed a lot of work, and I have to deal with some urgent matters tonight, so I'll rest in the study. Yuan Zheng didn't dare to expect Gu Chao to think about his illness.

"Are you sick?" Sure enough, Gu Chao would never let him down, and he stabbed a knife in people's hearts, which was done neatly and neatly.

Yuan Zheng smiled bitterly and patted her hand, "It's already good, you can rest by yourself." ”

Gu Chao's heart was in a mess, but he could no longer find an excuse to keep his husband, so he could only watch him leave.

The days with Doudou were the happiest time since Yuan Xiang remembered, although the two had almost completely opposite personalities and very different hobbies, except for "liking to read", of course.

But they are not without one thing in common, that is, both sisters write very badly. Doudou is because he is young and can't calm down to practice calligraphy, and the words he writes are crooked like earthworms; Yuan Xiang is because his body is weak and his wrist strength is insufficient, and his hand is soft and he has no muscles and bones.

Yuan Zheng knew that his daughter's days at home were numbered, so he reduced a lot of office work that should have been rested at night, and tried to find time to accompany his two daughters during the day, and even Gu Chao didn't care about giving Doudou a look at his face for the time being.

The family of four spent a few days in Xiangyi Courtyard, but time did not stop passing, and the day of Yuan Xiang's departure still came as scheduled.

Mama Jin failed to come back in time as Gu Chao wished, but Xie Min and Doctor Mo came to the Yuan Mansion on time on the appointed day.

Xie Min is the number one "rival in love" in Gu Chao's mind, but in fact, the two have not met a few times.

Every time they met, Gu Chao wrote the word "dislike" on his face, Xie Min was not stupid, how could he not see that he was not popular. What's more, the old lady once thought about letting her marry Yuan Zheng, and if the marriage fails, she always has to avoid suspicion, so although the Xie Mansion is in Shaoxing and not far from Hangzhou, she rarely comes to the political envoy's mansion.

However, she often goes to the Zhuangzi outside Hangzhou, and almost all of the old lady's favorite camellias are famous products that she asked her friends to find everywhere.

Therefore, Yuan Xiang is not familiar with this cousin, but occasionally hears his father say that this cousin has traveled almost the entire Great Zhou, which makes her very admired and envious.

Doudou was a little unhappy, in her mind, only Yuan Hui was her aunt, her only aunt, why is there another aunt here? Oh, no, it's "cousin", doesn't it also have the word "aunt"!

Hearing that this cousin had arrived, Doudou took advantage of Gu Chao and Yuan Xiang talking, branched out of the Zhujun who was waiting beside him, and quietly slipped to the main hall alone, ready to take a look at what this cousin was like.

In the main hall, a man of about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a beard on his face, sat at the top, and at the bottom was a woman who was already in her twenties, but her eyes were still as smart and lively as a girl.

"Brother Qi Yuan, this time for the sake of the little girl, you can't be at home for the New Year, the little brother is really ashamed, today I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast you. Yuan Zheng picked up a good cup of tea and handed it to the man with both hands.

This man is the Mo Shen Doctor who is about to take Yuan Xiang on a long trip, he is tall and burly, shrewd and a little tough, he looks like a high-roller, where would he have thought that he is a doctor with excellent medical skills.

The woman is naturally Yuan Zheng's cousin Xie Min, a woman in her twenties who is still in the boudoir and can walk around like a man, she is definitely the only one in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because she often walks outside, her complexion is not as fair and delicate as Gu Chao's, but her whole person seems to have a healthy luster, which is really beautiful.

Seeing that Yuan Zheng politely gave tea to Doctor Mo, Xie Min quipped: "Don't make a mistake cousin, in order to make such a trip, I will give Mo Qiyuan thirty percent of the benefits of next year's medicinal materials, how can I drink this cup of tea first!"

Doctor Mo took the teacup and said with a smile: "Brother Zongzhi, your cousin is too shrewd and sharp-tongued, I am anxious for the eldest prince Wan, when will I marry my daughter-in-law, haha......"

Xie Min is a woman after all, and it is inevitable that she is a little embarrassed to hear them mention her sweetheart, so she twisted her head to the side too lazy to take care of the two, but she caught a glimpse of the small figure at the gate.

Doudou was found to have walked into the main hall with small steps, this refreshment was quite in line with the temper of Doctor Mo and Xie Min, but a small face stunned the two of them again.

"Cousin......" Xie Min didn't know what to say.

Doctor Mo reacted very quickly, Chong Yuanzheng blinked and said, "Brother Zongzhi, when did you and your younger brother and sister give birth to a second daughter?"

Yuan Zheng pulled Doudou in front of him and smiled at the two: "This is my daughter Yuan Yuan, who is six years old this year." He patted her little shoulder again: "Yuan'er, I've seen your Uncle Mo and Aunt Cousin." ”

After a salute, Xie Min gave Doudou a pair of red coral bracelets as a greeting gift, and Doctor Mo beckoned to Doudou: "Yuan'er, come here and let Uncle Mo check your pulse." ”

Yuan Zheng knew that Doctor Mo wanted to see how his daughter's body was doing, and most doctors had such a fetish, so he motioned to Doudou to stretch out his little arm.
