Just because Princess Xi Guo Bailu said that it was only inappropriate to go to the Lin Mansion at this moment. Thinking about it from the bottom of my heart, Lin Shenzhou is Tang Yi's mentor, and Xiao Tang naturally knows better about Lin Shenzhou's affairs, not to mention that the relationship between the two is extraordinary, Lin Shenzhou suddenly had an accident, and Xiao Tang didn't know what would happen...... Therefore, he simply called a car to come to the Tang Mansion.

When they arrived at the Tang Mansion and entered, sure enough, the maids said that Xiao Tang was not at home, Huaizhen looked at the maids' expressions carefully, and everything was as usual, and he understood that most of them didn't know about Lin Shenzhou, so Huaizhen kept quiet.

In this way, he went into the back room to meet Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang smiled and picked her up, and said, "I've been thinking about you recently, but thanks to your heart, this time I'm here." "Shake your hand, and tell the maid to bring some fresh fruits and other things.

Seeing this, Huaizhen didn't mention Lin Shenzhou's incident at all, and only said something that didn't matter.

Mrs. Tang asked about Grandma Xu before, and Huaizhen said: "It's the old man's declining body, and Grandma is an idle temperament, so she hurt her waist, but fortunately, the imperial doctor in the palace took care of her, and the former sent someone to ask, saying that she was already able to land." ”

Mrs. Tang nodded again and again, and said, "That's fine, she's old, and it's good to have a few more people in the Operations Department." It's that you're too far apart...... Why don't you ask her to come to live in Beijing?"

Huai Zhen smiled and said: "What my wife said is very true, why haven't you ever been called to Beijing?" My mother has also said it a few times, but she is an old man who loves her family, but she is reluctant to go to that place, and it is a shame that my uncle's whole family is still there, so she will have to take care of her, otherwise, she will definitely be allowed to move to Beijing to live." ”

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she also laughed and said, "I understand this heart, since the old man is unwilling to leave his hometown, he just follows her wishes. It's just that you have to go back and see more often...... Taking care of it can be regarded as filial piety. ”

Huai Zhen nodded again and again, and Mrs. Tang looked at her again and said, "I heard Yi'er say, you went back to take care of the old man and lived for more than half a month?"

Huaizhen said: "Yes." Because I can't leave my mother in the house, I don't have to worry about it, so I simply stayed for a while to accompany me. ”

When Mrs. Tang heard this, her eyes were slightly red, and she said: "When I look at your child, I can't help but feel pity and love in my heart...... I've been sick for a few times, and it's thanks to you that I'm more dedicated than my daughter, and your grandmother is like this again...... Come to think of it, your grandmother must also love you very much?"

Huai Zhen smiled and said, "However, grandma is also like a wife, she is partial to me." ”

Mrs. Tang wiped the corners of her eyes, laughed when she heard the words, and said, "You are such a lovely and good boy, we can't wait to be more biased." ”

After saying this for a while, the maid came up with dim sum fruits, Mrs. Tang looked at it once, and saw that it was golden silk party plums, fragrant candy seeds, etc., as well as two bowls of lychee paste, Mrs. Tang estimated that Huaizhen loved to eat, but felt that she liked it, so she let Huaizhen use some.

Huai Zhen ate in King Xi's Mansion before, but he was afraid of going against Mrs. Tang's good intentions, so he only ate a fruit and drank half a bowl of lychee paste.

The maids removed their things, served some snacks such as candied fruits and dried fruits, and remade new tea.

Huaizhen took a sip of tea, and because he remembered Lin Shenzhou's incident, he asked, "Madam, hasn't Uncle Tang come back today?"

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she said, "After returning from Sharo, I only had a little free time in the first few days, and then I don't know what I was busy with...... Alas, if it weren't for the fact that I could see him every day, I would have thought that he was still in Sharo, and he went out early this morning, and he didn't come back at noon, and he didn't ask the little guy to come back to report the news...... Most of the time the ministry is very busy. ”

Huai Zhen said: "I heard that I have been arranging various matters to go back to Sharo recently, but I am afraid that I will not be idle. ”

Mrs. Tang frowned and said: "Everyone says that they are both children and daughters, when they were young, they looked forward to them growing up, and when they grew up, they also hoped that they would have a future, but after all, they grew up and had a chance, but instead they would rather be mediocre, so that they could reunite with their mothers and sons every day...... Where does it seem to be like this, although it seems to be busy for the country's society, but the town is not at home, if there is an envoy, and he does not come back for three years or two, he is like a prodigal......"

When Mrs. Tang said this, she was worried, and after a pause, she said, "You also know about his marriage before...... There are also that kind of vicious rumors, which make the old man old, but still every wife is still settled, you see...... Other people, like his age, have long been full of children and grandchildren, but now he is still alone, and I am an old woman, who stays in the house every day in the cold and lonely reads();. Every time I think about this, I feel very sad, but I don't know what will happen to him in the future?

Huaizhen listened, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, madam, this is Uncle Tang's marriage, don't you hear: children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be horses and cattle for your children and grandchildren...... Mrs. Don't be anxious, just wait quietly. ”

Mrs. Tang said: "Good boy, it's rare for you to comfort me with this." It's just that...... Where do I say these words in Su Ri, I just keep it in my heart, just because you are not an outsider, so I said it...... However, I was sad, but when I looked at him like this, I couldn't help but think: Even if he really married someone's daughter and became a relative, but seeing that he was not at home for three days and two days, and he would not be able to return for a year and a half when he was going on an envoy, what girl from a good family could stand it? ”

Huai Zhen didn't expect Mrs. Tang to have so many things in her heart, but this is Mrs. Tang's selfishness as a mother, no matter how close she is, after all, she is not biological, but it is not easy to interject and say anything, thinking about it, only said: "I often hear people say: the clever work and the wise worry, and the incompetent have nothing to want...... Uncle Tang is talented, so naturally he can't be like a mediocre person. However, for example, there is such a thing as killing Sharo...... On the day Uncle Tang returned to China, firecrackers rang out overnight, and I heard that many families in the southwest had set up a shrine for Uncle Tang, and the incense was worshiped every day...... A character like Uncle Tang, I'm afraid that there won't be one in a few hundred years, and my wife should be very happy to have raised such an outstanding son. ”

Mrs. Tang was a little worried and unhappy when she talked about her hidden thoughts, but when she heard Huaizhen say this, she couldn't help but turn her worries into joy, and said with a smile: "Alas, your child can speak, it must be that you and your brother have different feelings than others, and when you see me thinking of him, you are useless in your heart? ”

Huaizhen's face was slightly hot, and he said: "Where are the good words, but the truth, my wife doesn't believe it, since I went out to inquire, the people outside praised it even more." ”

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't nag anymore, just let him go." ”

As he spoke, he hugged Huaizhen into his arms, rubbed his shoulders and said, "The most lacking thing in my heart is you...... Your brother is many years late, and he has been married early, or else, ......"

Mrs. Tang felt slightly melancholy, and when she said this, she wanted to stop talking, knowing that some words could not be said at will, so she smiled again: "Hengzhi, I only think you are my own daughter." Other...... You can't get Longwangshu anymore. ”

Huai Zhen listened to the sentence in front of him, and vaguely guessed what Mrs. Tang meant, but he didn't dare to speak, so he also leaned on her shoulder, silently a little distracted.

In this way, after another half an hour, a maid came outside to report and said, "The master is back!"

Huaizhen was shocked, Mrs. Tang liked it, so she said to Huaizhen: "This is not a good person who is not at home, and I will judge him." ”

As he was talking, he saw Xiao Tang step in, and when Xiao Tang entered the door, he heard that Huai Zhen was also there, so he was not surprised, and stepped forward to greet his mother first.

Huaizhen took a closer look from the side, and saw that his eyes were slightly red, and although his face seemed to be calm, he faintly revealed a sense of sadness but not sadness, and knew that it must be because of Lin Shenzhou, so Huaizhen frowned slightly and got up to salute him.

Looking at each other, Xiao Tang also saw that there was a faint worry in Huaizhen's eyes, he knew in his heart that Huaizhen had intended to be alienated from him before, and he would not come to the house in person when he was free.

However, Xiao Tang saw that Mrs. Tang didn't know, and she must have been afraid that she would be frightened, so she didn't say a word, which shows her compassion reads();. As soon as Xiao Tang thought of this, his eyes became a little redder.

Mrs. Tang didn't see the clues, and after seeing Huaizhen's salute, she still smiled and asked Xiao Tang, "Where are you from?"

When Xiao Tang heard this, he couldn't help it anymore, so he knelt on the ground, twisted his eyebrows with tears, lowered his head and said, "Mother, I have something to tell my mother." ”

Mrs. Tang was surprised when she heard that his tone was wrong, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?"

At this moment, Huai Zhen had returned to Mrs. Tang's side, so he held her arm and looked at the two of them with some concern.

Xiao Tang was silent, his heart was surging, it was difficult to be quiet, and he took a deep breath for a moment before he still said: "It's the child's teacher...... Lord Lin Shenzhou...... Died. ”

When Xiao Tang said the last sentence, he couldn't hold back any longer, although he didn't cry, his voice trembled with some crying, he just lowered his head stiffly, and the two lines of tears fell suddenly.

Mrs. Tang suddenly heard this, "ah", her face changed greatly, and said, "What did you say?"

Xiao Tang said: "Mother, don't be too sad, the child is just ...... I have already visited the Lin Mansion, but I am afraid that others will say it, and my mother will not know what to do, so I came back to tell me that I have to go out immediately to do it...... The aftermath of the teacher. Speaking of this, the tears in those eyes were sprinkled like beads of broken threads.

Xiao Tang never looked up, but Huaizhen saw it clearly, and he couldn't help but feel heartache at the moment, so he turned his head back, and tears fell like rain for a while.

Mrs. Tang reacted, and burst into tears for a while, and cried again: "How do you say this, you are a good person, why did you go all of a sudden?

Seeing this, Huaizhen hurriedly held back his tears, and persuaded Mrs. Tang: "Don't be too sad, madam...... Uncle Lin, I wasn't in good health a few days ago......"

Xiao Tang still lowered his head, and when he heard this, he raised his hand and wiped it on his eyes, wiped away all his tears, and then gritted his teeth and endured it, and said: "The teacher's body is indeed a little old, and it is also caused by the country's hard work...... Mother don't have to worry, I ...... It will also ...... Good students help to cook properly. ”

Mrs. Tang was already in tears, and when she came back to her senses, she nodded tearfully and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity that such a good person is a pity." Be...... There are few people in the Lin Mansion, you are Lord Lin's favorite disciple, you must do your best in this matter, in this case, you don't have to delay here, go quickly!"

Xiao Tang kowtowed, then stood up, and said to Huaizhen: "I was worried that my wife was alone at home, and it would inevitably be sad...... Now that Huaizhen is here, I feel a lot more relieved, this time I am busy, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while, Huaizhen you...... And help me take care of my wife. ”

Huai Zhen had already stood up, the two of them were standing opposite each other, Huai Zhen could see clearly, Xiao Tang's eyes were already red, and his tears were moist, obviously extremely sad.

Huaizhen had never seen him like this, and he couldn't help but feel sour, and barely held back his tears, so he nodded and said, "Uncle Tang, don't worry...... I will accompany my wife, and when Uncle Tang comes back, I will go home again. ”

Xiao Tang's heart was extremely sad and cold, but he was still holding it on his face, and after listening to such intimate and knowing words, he felt a slight warmth in his heart, but tears unconsciously welled up in his eyes again.

Xiao Tang didn't want to lose his temper in front of Huaizhen, so he hurriedly turned his head and said, "Thank you, ......" After saying that, he hurriedly retreated, turned around and went out very quickly.

Xiao Tang went, but he didn't turn back that night, and he saw twilight coming/coming, and waited for half an hour, and then he saw the little guy who followed Xiao Tang come back, and reported that Xiao Tang would not return home tonight, so that his wife could rest early and didn't have to wait.

When Huaizhen heard this, he sent a small servant to respond to the mansion and said that he wanted to stay in the Tang Mansion reads();.

It was night, and the wind outside the house continued all night, and in the wind, there seemed to be a whimper, and it was sad to smell.

Where will Mrs. Tang sleep? Although she knew that Xiao Tang would not come back, she still refused to go to sleep, and Huai Zhen was also by her side, so she barely rested until the time passed.

Early the next morning, the two of them got up early and asked the little servant to go out to inquire about various matters.

In this way, when it was almost noon, the little guy who had been sent out came back in a panic, knelt down through the curtain and said, "Madam, something has happened." ”

Mrs. Tang hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, you hurry up and don't be verbose." ”

The little guy said: "The villains originally inquired about the news in the Lin Mansion, and then the adults and our master all went to the court...... The villain had to go to the gate of the palace again to inquire, who knows...... The news came out from inside, saying that the emperor was furious and condemned the prince......"

Mrs. Tang was taken aback and asked, "How can you get involved with the prince again?"

The little guy trembled and said, "The villain doesn't know the specific matters, but I just vaguely heard people talk about it...... It turns out that this Lord Lin is not easy to die, they talk about it...... He was forced to die by the Prince's Palace!"

"...... by the prince Born ...... Forced to death?" Mrs. Tang was shocked and stunned for a while.

Huai Zhen was listening clearly, staring desperately, and asked, "What else have you heard, tell me quickly, Tang ...... What happened to your lord?"

When the little girl heard Qingyin Jiaoli, she knew that Huaizhen was asking, so she thought about it and replied: "I only inquired about this one for the time being, and everyone outside is like a fried pot, and everything is said...... The emperor was furious, probably because he knew about it, but as for our lord, he had never heard of it, so let the villain inquire carefully. ”

Huai Zhen saw that Mrs. Tang was stunned, and was speechless in her eagerness, so she said loudly: "You go quickly, be careful, right...... And don't talk too much. ”

The little guy kowtowed, and went busily.

After the little servant in the Tang Mansion went, Mrs. Tang was in a dream, and it took a while to come back to her senses, so she looked at Huaizhen and said, "This ...... What's going on?"

Huaizhen was originally a little suspicious that Lin Shenzhou's death was too sudden, and it didn't seem to be due to illness...... What's more, Xiao Tang's demeanor when he came back yesterday seemed to be very wrong, and there was some anger in the mourning, but although she knew that there might be other feelings, she just couldn't tell Mrs. Tang.

Now seeing that Mrs. Tang was panicked, Huaizhen had no choice but to comfort her softly, and only said: "They can't hear it really, and what they say is upside down...... Don't panic first, Mrs., when Uncle Tang comes back, he will naturally understand. ”

However, although Huaizhen appeased Mrs. Tang, he was inevitably uneasy in his heart, and Huaizhen secretly recalled...... On that day, Lin Shenzhou came to visit her and Ying Lanfeng, and all kinds of expressions were not very clear at first, but now that I think about it, they all seem to have ominous meanings.

For a while, I thought of Ying Lanfeng again...... Just because of the Taizhou incident, Ying Lanfeng always had a "grace of knowledge" for Lin Shenzhou, but he didn't know that Lin Shenzhou had an accident, what would happen to Ying Lanfeng?

Huaizhen was impatient, and wanted to go home immediately to take a look, but Mrs. Tang couldn't leave it alone, not to mention that she promised that Xiao Tang wanted to accompany her, so she had to wait.

Therefore, the two of them were anxious, and waited for a long time, until dusk, when Xiao Tang finally came back.
