When Gu Sanniang heard Shen Zhuo's words, she was stunned at first, and then said in a low voice: "But Prime Minister Jiang hasn't come back yet." ”

Shen Zhuo's face was calm, and he said lightly: "This has nothing to do with us, and others worry about him." ”

Gu Sanniang knew that the father and son had a knot, and swallowed the words in her mouth, in this matter, she had always listened to Shen Zhuo, that Shen Zhuo thought for a while, and said to Gu Sanniang: "Before leaving, I will take you to kowtow to my mother." ”

Although Gu Sanniang has never seen this mother-in-law, but since she is in the Jiang Mansion, she should naturally go to her old man's house to burn a pillar of incense, thinking like this, Gu Sanniang called Xiao Yezi and Yu Ge'er to go with her, Yu Ge'er is her mother-in-law's own grandson, and she should give the old man a good kowtow.

The ancestral hall of the Jiang family is located in the house, Shen Zhuo has not lived in the Jiang Mansion for many years, but this is a place for his mother, so he is familiar with the way, there are few people walking around in the ancestral hall on weekdays, only an old servant in his sixties guards the candle, Shen Zhuo and others just came in, he recognized Shen Zhuo coming, the old servant was busy to welcome out, this old servant is old and deaf, the people of the Jiang Mansion have very strict rules, it is because this old man has not heard of what happened outside the mansion during this time, he saw Shen Zhuo's house who had been away from home for a few years, and suddenly burst into tears, muttered: "Uncle is back." ”

As he spoke, he bent over and was about to say hello to Shen Zhuo, but Shen Zhuo helped him up and said, "Don't be so polite." ”

These high-ranking families, the elderly servants in the family, are more decent than some junior masters, not to mention that he is no longer the master of the Jiang Mansion, and he should not be bowed down to by others.

The old servant wiped his tears, and he said, "Uncle is here to offer incense to the ancestors, and I will take him in." ”

The ancestral hall is heavy, in addition to the sacrifice every year, or encountering the wedding and funeral in the house, adding Ding to increase the mouth, and the ordinary is not light to open the door, today because Shen Zhuo wants to worship his mother, it is the old servant who leads them into the ancestral hall.

Just enter the ancestral hall, a faint sandalwood fragrance comes to the face, the middle of the main hall is lined up, there are many portraits, the people on the portrait, the men are all python robes and jade belts, and the women are all phoenix crowns, symbolizing the supreme and noble status of the Jiang Mansion, in addition to the portraits, the most eye-catching is the hundreds of tablets displayed on the table, these are the ancestors of the Jiang family.

Gu Sanniang lowered her eyelids, she silently followed behind Shen Zhuo, the two children had been told by Gu Sanniang again and again when they came in, so this time she was also quiet and well-behaved, for fear of disturbing the spirits of the ancestors of the Jiang Mansion.

Shen Zhuo washed his hands, he lit a pillar of incense, inserted it in the incense burner on the table, and then burned paper money in a big tripod on the ground, and then walked to the tablet next to him, this time he not only burned incense, but also knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, and whispered to the tablet: "Mother, the child has come to see you, this is the child's newly married daughter-in-law, specially brought her to show your old man." ”

The tablet reads 'The position of Jiang Shen's Menglong in the first room', it is Shen Zhuo's biological mother Shen, Gu Sanniang stepped forward and kowtowed to her mother-in-law, followed by two children, Xiao Yezi is still surnamed Zhang, she doesn't have to burn incense, just kowtow, but the royal brother not only wants to kowtow, but also carefully took the incense stick and made three pinchs, and Shen Zhuo inserted it into the incense burner on his behalf.

After worshipping her mother, Shen Zhuo looked at her tablet and was distracted, Gu Sanniang was delicate, she saw a trace of sadness in Shen Zhuo's eyes, so she was ready to take the two children out, so that he could talk to his mother alone.

Just as she was about to go out with the child, Shen Zhuo called out to her, and he said, "Sanniang, you stay with me for a while." ”

Gu Sanniang glanced back at him, she sent the two children out, and then returned to Shen Zhuo's side, Shen Zhuo looked at his mother's tablet, and said: "When I was just born, my mother gave me the milk name 'Humble Er', I don't remember much when she left, and now in retrospect, I can't remember her appearance clearly." ”

Gu Sanniang looked at Shen's tablet, she thought for a while, and said, "Although I haven't seen her old man, just looking at you, I can guess that my mother-in-law must be a quiet and smart woman." ”

Shen Zhuo's eyes were soft, he looked at Gu Sanniang, and said with a smile: "Then you guessed wrong, my mother often tells people that she doesn't expect me to be smart, as long as I live a safe and smooth life, even if I am a fool, but if I can't memorize the article when I was a child, she will not be less beaten." ”

Gu Sanniang couldn't help laughing, most of the time duplicity is a common problem of women in the world, shouting 'clumsy' in her mouth, and still hoping that he can become a dragon and a phoenix.

Thinking of the past, Shen Chu's eyes became gentle, he said: "At that time, my sister and I would go to my mother's house to do homework every day after school, she was an old man, don't look at it as a boudoir woman, four books and five classics, poetry and songs, more transparent than men to read, if you want to be opportunistic, the first one can not escape her eyes, wonderful words are playful and naughty, and will be punished by my mother when they are not five, often at this time, she will come to me for help, my mother occasionally knows, will open one eye, close one eye." ”

Thinking of her sister's wonderful words, Shen Zhuo's eyes instantly became dark and deep, Gu Sanniang's heart tightened, she stretched out her hand and held Shen Zhuo's palm tightly, wanting to give him some comfort.

Shen Zhuo's eyes closed for a moment, and when he opened them again, he was clear again, he looked at the tablet and said: "This time I left, and the next time I come to worship, I don't know what year and month it is." ”

Gu Sanniang turned her head to stare at Shen Zhuo's slightly chin chin as she hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah Zhuo, I know you don't want to have anything to do with the Jiang family anymore, but Prime Minister Jiang Cheng heard that he has offended many people in order to save you, no matter what, let's wait for him to get through the difficulties before leaving, we can't be that ungrateful villain." ”

Gu Sanniang was simple-minded, she thought that one thing was the same thing, that day their family was rescued by Dongfang Inspection for seven hundred taels of silver, and they still stood up when something happened to Dongfang's family, today Jiang Zhongming is still in the palace and his life and death are unknown, they just left, it is really against the morality of being a human being.

Shen Zhuo looked at Gu Sanniang, and he said seriously: "You don't have to worry about him, he has been crawling and rolling in officialdom for many years, how can he fall lightly." ”

Gu Sanniang opened her mouth, she was about to speak, there was a noise outside, and then the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open forcefully, and it was the angry Jiang Jinyan who broke in, with fire in his eyes, pointing at Shen Zhuo and saying angrily: "Haven't you already invited yourself out of the sect, what are you doing in my Jiang family's ancestral hall, why don't you get out quickly!" ”

Gu Sanniang was slightly surprised, she had been in the mansion for more than ten days, although she had not seen Jiang Jinyan many times, but he had always been humble and polite, and he had never seen him speak out loud to anyone.

Jiang Jinyan scolded the old servant guarding the ancestral hall again: "Doesn't the sixth uncle know that this person has already changed his name and surname? If you let an outsider enter the ancestral hall and alarm the ancestors and ancestors, who can afford it? ”

The old servant was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Sun, who came with him, saw that Xianggong was angry, and lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.

Shen Zhuo looked at the angry Jiang Jinyan, and said unhurriedly: "Third Master Jin, don't be angry, I'll leave after I finish worshipping my mother." ”

"You ......" Jiang Jinyan is not good at arguing with others, he saw Shen Zhuo so calm and relaxed, and remembered that his father was still kneeling outside the emperor's palace gate in order to save his life, and he became more and more angry that one Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.

Why are you so angry about Jiang Jinyan? It turned out that today he went to Dali Temple to pick up Shen Zhuo home, he thought that they were all close relatives, Shen Zhuo's family came, and it happened that their family could help each other in the same boat, who would have thought that Shen Zhuo had just arrived, so he said that he would leave with his family and children, Jiang Jinyan only thought that he was afraid of death, and he was cold-hearted. Who knew that he had just heard that he had come to the ancestral hall to worship his mother, Jiang Jinyan was young and angry, so he chased after him and humiliated Shen Zhuo.

Such a scene, not patronizing Sanniang, it was inconvenient to interject, and even the Sun family and the later Princess Jichang stood silently behind.

Shen Zhuo has finished worshiping his mother, at this time people came to drive people, he didn't want to stay longer, so he beckoned Gu Sanniang and the two children out of the house, no, their family had not yet walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall, they saw a servant woman looking for her in a panic, she hurriedly said: "The master is back, he just entered the house and vomited blood, a few masters and grandmothers go to see." ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Jiang Jinyan asked, "Why is this happening, hurry up and send someone to ask for a doctor." ”

The servant woman replied, "The master will not let me!" ”

After that, she glanced at Shen Zhuo again, and whispered, "Master said...... said that he asked the uncle to meet him. ”

The eyes of everyone in the room fell on Shen Zhuo's body, and Jiang Jinyan saw that Shen Zhuo was unmoved, so he stomped his feet angrily and said, "The master still has my son, I'll go see him!" ”

As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves away.

In the blink of an eye, the ancestral hall that was originally crowded with people was only Shen Zhuo and his wife, two dazed children, and the old servant kneeling outside the door.

Gu Sanniang looked at Shen Zhuo's indifferent face, she was not Shen Zhuo, and she didn't understand which was right and wrong between father and son, but at this point, right and wrong didn't seem to be so important, she persuaded: "Ah Zhuo, you go and see Prime Minister Jiang Cheng." ”

Shen Zhuo's eyes were half-closed, he looked at the silent tablet in front of him, and remembered his mother's vague voice, as well as his red-faced sister, when he was gone one day, who would remember them?

The room was very quiet, Gu Sanniang and the ancestors of the Jiang family were waiting for Shen Zhuo's choice, and after a long time, Shen Zhuo opened his eyes, he glanced at his mother's tablet again, and said to Gu Sanniang: "Let's go." ”

Gu Sanniang glanced at him in a daze, let's go? Where do they go? Shen Zhuo had already walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall, and when he saw that Gu Sanniang was still in place, he beckoned to her, urging and said, "If you don't leave, I won't wait for you." ”
