After sitting in the house for a while, Zhu Nian called Cai Ning and told her to find a doctor and a few maids to take care of Ling Wu's mother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cai Ning got the order and hurriedly went out to run errands.

At noon, Zhu Nian was eating in the courtyard, and he ushered in Zhu Anyou, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Big sister!" Zhu Anyou ran into the bamboo garden excitedly.

In the past month, Tao has found a well-known private school for Zhu Anyou to go to school, so he rarely wanders around the Zhu Mansion.

"Yo, isn't this Anyou, why are you here?" Zhu Nian showed a rare smile on his face and stretched out his hand to greet Zhu Anyou.

"Hee-hee. Zhu Anyou stood beside Zhu Nian and looked at her mysteriously, "Eldest sister, guess what I brought you?"

"Hehe," Zhu Nian smiled and nodded Zhu Anyou's nose and said, "The eldest sister can't guess." ”

Zhu Anyou looked around secretly, then put his hand into one sleeve and took out a small clay figure and a piece of oiled paper.

"Eldest sister, these are for you. Zhu Anyou shyly stuffed two things into Zhu Nian's hands.

Zhu Nian curiously took the clay figure in her hand and looked at it, although it was a little ugly, but she could still vaguely see her appearance.

She opened the oil paper again, and a few crooked big characters came into view: Qingshui out of hibiscus, Yaochi Flying Fairy.

"This is ......," Zhu Nian asked.

"I did these things in my private school, the characters were read from books, and the clay figurines were taught to me by a senior brother. Zhu Anyou said with his head bowed.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes were as bright as the starry sky: "I only did this one, my mother and second sister don't have it!"

Hearing Zhu Anyou's last words, Zhu Nian's heart seemed to be hit by electricity, and his heart was soft.

She looked at Zhu Anyou tenderly and smiled, and took out a free hand to touch the top of Zhu Anyou's head: "Really, then sister, thank you Anyou." ”

"Huh. Zhu Anyou smirked, "You're welcome." ”

After speaking, he broke free from Zhu Nian's softness and ran away from the bamboo garden quickly.

Zhu Nian looked at Zhu Anyou's back and chuckled: Hehe, this kid is still shy.

"Miss, the little master is so good to Miss!" Red Candle had been staying by Zhu Nian's side, and at this time she said, "Much better than his mother and sister!"

Zhu Nian just smiled and didn't answer.

In the afternoon, Zhu Nian asked the red candle to stay in the bamboo garden, and then took Cai Ning to Ling Wu's mother's residence.

Standing at Ling Wu's house, Zhu Nian was speechless in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the dignified Tianxiang Pavilion chef turned out to be a family with four walls.

A little girl came out of the back room with a basin of water, and she saluted slightly after seeing Zhu Nian, "Miss!"

"Hmm. ”

"Ah Wu, is Ah Wu here?" an old female voice came from inside the room.

Zhu Nian motioned for the little girl to go down, and then took Fuyue into the back room.

There was only a table, two chairs, and a crumbling wooden bed.

A thin and withered old woman was lying on the bed, breathing.

Zhu Nian walked up to the old woman, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked patiently, "Grandma, how do you feel?"

The old woman turned her head with great effort and looked at Zhu Nian suspiciously: "Isn't it Ah Wu, who are you?"

"Grandma, I'm Ling Wu's boss, I'm here to see you today. ”

"The doctor and a few girls who came to see me were invited by the girl?" asked Ling Wu's mother.

"Yes. Zhu Nian said.

She pulled the corner of the quilt for Ling Wu's mother, and said softly: "Grandma, don't talk yet, watch your body." ”

But the mother-in-law was worried about her son, how could she listen to Zhu Nian's advice: "Girl, Ling Wu hasn't been back for a few days, he can't be causing any trouble, right?"

Hearing her mother-in-law's question, Zhu Nian's eyes flashed, and then she held her mother-in-law's hand tightly and said, "Grandma, don't worry, Ling Wu just went to Ningshui to buy goods, and he will be back in a few days." ”

"Oh, that's right, Ah Wu didn't come back to inform me before leaving, which made me worry all the time. The mother-in-law nodded and said.

She held Zhu Nian's hand instead, and her voice was a little choked: "Girl, Ling Wu is a good boy." He has no father since he was a child, he was raised by me alone, and he is very filial, but I blame me for being incompetent and unable to give him a good life. “

Speaking of this, the mother-in-law was already crying: "Thank you, girl, for leaving him a bite to eat and giving him a chance to eat." Hey, it's a pity that it's all my old wife, I have to drag him down with an old bone, Ah Wu He is about to spend all his savings in order to treat me. ”

Zhu Nian was thoughtful, and was touched by the mother-son relationship between Ling Wu and his mother.

She sighed to herself, thinking for Ling Wu: It is really a poor person who must have something to hate! Fortunately, he stopped the precipice in time and did not make a big mistake.

Zhu Nian took care of Ling Wu's mother in the small dilapidated house for about an hour.

Before leaving, she called Fuyue and gave the old woman some silver.

The old woman kept pushing and shoving, resolutely refusing, but Zhu Nian was also very persistent.

"Grandma, Ling Wu has been doing his best for Tianxiang Pavilion all these years, and he deserves this silver. If you refuse, you deny the fruits of his labor. ”

"Hey, girl, you are a good person, God will definitely take care of you!" There was no way, and the mother-in-law had no choice but to accept the money.

Then Zhu Nian said goodbye to the old woman and returned to Zhu Mansion with Fuyue.

Everything was fine, but I didn't expect something to happen the next day.

"Miss, no. Early in the morning, Cai Ning ran into the bamboo garden from outside in a panic.

Zhu Nian frowned slightly, remembering that the last time Cai Ning was so flustered was when Gonggong Shen came to announce the decree.

"Cai Ning, what's wrong?" asked Zhu Nian.

"Yes, it's the official of the government!" Cai Ning said breathlessly, "They let you go to the yamen!"

"What?" Zhu Nian was also surprised, "Did they explain why?"

"The slave maid doesn't know, it seems to be about Tianxiang Pavilion. Looking at their coming, it seems that it is not good for Miss!" Cai Ning said, shaking his head.

"Okay, let's go out and have a look. Zhu Nian said.

The two left the bamboo garden in a hurry.

At the door of the Zhu Mansion, two officials with knives stood straight outside the door.

"Two big brothers, what's going on?" Zhu Nian asked when he came to the officer's side.

"Miss Zhu, someone has sued your Tianxiang Pavilion, please come with us!" one of the officials replied politely.

"Sue me?" Zhu Nian was surprised.

Could it be related to the recent ingredient problem in Tianxiang Pavilion?

"Okay, I'll go with you, can I ask you to wait a moment?" Zhu Nian said.

The two officials clasped their fists and nodded in agreement.

Zhu Nian turned around and greeted Cai Ning and said, "Ah Ning, you quickly go to Dachuan." ”

"Yes, miss. After speaking, Cai Ning trotted into the Zhu Mansion.

After a stick of incense, He Dachuan and Cai Ning hurriedly ran out, and He Dachuan asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Dachuan, come here!" Zhu Nian said.

He Dachuan walked to Zhu Nian's side, and Zhu Nian whispered a few words in his ear, not letting others hear.

Then she turned around and nodded to the servant: "Two big brothers, you can go." ”

So Zhu Nian and Cai Ning followed the officials to the official mansion.
