The breeze gently blew the leaves of the apricot trees, making a rustling sound, and from time to time a few emerald green leaves fell on the body.

Yue Yao looked at the small fruits on the apricot tree one by one, and said softly: "It is said that the apricots are ripe in May, and our apricots are late ripe, right?" ”

Xiang Wei looked at the apricots hanging on the apricot tree, which were not much bigger than the thumbnail cover, and her teeth would definitely be sour: "Girl, I'll pick two for you to eat, how about you taste it?" Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao was very quirky. Sweet and sour, salty, some people like to eat sour, some people like to eat sweet, but like her, as long as it is delicious. But the girl is not, she is very young and pays great attention to self-cultivation, as long as it is good for her health, she eats, but if she is not good for her health, she does not touch it. If the girl has been injured or in poor health and needs to be taken care of, it's fine, but it's not, it's a very incomprehensible thing.

Xiang Wei sometimes really suspects that Yueyao was a nun in her last life, otherwise how could she be so pure-hearted and have few desires, except for reading and painting on weekdays, she doesn't care much about eating, drinking and having fun.

Drizzle walked over lightly and said, "Girl, the master is here, and now she is waiting for the girl in the study!" ”

When Yue Yao arrived at the study, she saw that Ma Chengteng's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife, when she left, her uncle was still full of black hair, but now her hair is half white, and there are a lot of wrinkles on her face, as if she is ten years old.

Yue Yao's eyes turned red, "Uncle, it's all my fault, it hurts my uncle ......" The blow of the white-haired person to the black-haired person is already big enough, and I have to worry about her here, how can such a double blow not get old.

Ma Chengteng saw that Yueyao was very good except for losing some weight, and he was also a lot relieved. Ma Chengteng asked, "Uncle is fine, Yueyao, what's the matter with you?" Where have you been for the past six months, how can you be taken captive? "There is also how Yueyao was rescued by the people of the Hou Mansion, these Ma Chengteng have to know.

Yue Yao didn't want to tell Ma Chengteng about this, but now looking at Ma Chengteng's old face, Yue Yao couldn't bear to hide it anymore, and told all the causes and consequences of her being taken away, and concealed everything that shouldn't be said in the middle.

Ma Chengteng is a member of the third grade, how could he not know what happened in Haikou, but he didn't expect that the fuse of Haikou's big changes turned out to be Yueyao, and what made him even more unbelievable was that it was not the people from the Jingning Marquis Mansion who saved Yueyao but An Zhichen, Ma Chengteng asked in shock: "Yueyao, what do you mean, Heyue knew about your disappearance early on?" ”

Yue Yao nodded, "After I disappeared, Xiang Wei told Hou Ye about it, and Hou Ye didn't hide it from He Yue, He Yue followed the clues to Haikou, and finally rescued me." Uncle, the rumors of the Qinglou woman before were actually used by He Yue as a cover. "Yueyao can be regarded as saying good things to An Zhichen in front of Ma Chengteng.

Ma Chengteng was surprised and delighted, surprised that An Zhichen had done so much for Yueyao, and happy that he no longer had to worry about Heyue coming to the door, "Good, good, good." Ma Chengteng didn't know what to say except for saying yes.

Yue Yao said apologetically: "Uncle, you have been tired in the past six months. ”

The worries in Ma Chengteng's heart were swept away, and he also let go of a heavy burden, and said with a smile at the moment: "This is nothing, Yueyao, the date has been set, and there are still more than four months to get married, you have to hurry up and embroider the wedding dress during this time." ”

Yue Yao's face flushed, nodded and said, "When I have been to the Jingning Hou Mansion to thank the Hou Ye, I will embroider the wedding dress in the mansion with peace of mind in the future." ”

Ma Chengteng nodded, "The Hou Mansion should still go." "If it weren't for Marquis Jingning, Yue Yao wouldn't have escaped from the clutches of the devil unharmed.

The uncle and nephew talked for half a night, and Ma Chengteng returned to his yard. Ma Chengteng returned to the study, his mood was a little messy, Yueyao was safe and sound, but Yue'er couldn't come back.

Tang sat in front of the dresser, looking at the still beautiful face in the mirror, Tang's eyes were a little sour. When her husband was around, he always hoped that he would be motivated, that he could bring a better life to the mother and son, and even let her down because her husband did not achieve his goals, so he kept him alone. But now a few months have passed, and Tang knows that she is wrong, even if her husband does not have a bright future, as long as he is there, it is the greatest guarantee for their mother and son, but she understands it too late.

Su Zhu looked at the master who was becoming more and more silent, and his heart was sour, "Madam, I'll remove your makeup." After speaking, he took off the ornament on Tang's head.

Tang Shi thought about Yue Yao, who looked thin but as usual, and suddenly said: "Su Zhu, the matter of the cousin girl is full of turmoil in the city, how can you say she can still be so calm?" ”

Su Zhu thought for a while and said, "The cousin shouldn't know yet, if she does, where will the cousin be so calm?" "It was rumored that the cousin had eloped, and the cousin had to vomit blood in anger when she found out.

Tang Shi took off the pearl earrings on his ears and said slowly: "She doesn't know for no reason." Now there are rumors of her everywhere outside, even if she is in the mountains, it is impossible not to hear it. "The most important thing is that the mother-in-law who sent things up the mountain deliberately told the people around Yue Yao about this, and Yue Yao didn't know about it.

Su Zhu's hand paused, "Impossible, right?" If the girl knew, why didn't she take it to heart? "She looked at her cousin today, although she lost some weight, but her complexion was excellent!

Tang put the pearl earrings in the jewelry box and said softly, "I don't know either." "Obviously, she was taken away and disappeared for half a year, and she was replaced by an ordinary woman who either committed suicide or hid in the Buddhist hall, but Yueyao was able to come back as if nothing happened, and she couldn't ask herself about this thought.

Tang suddenly remembered what her mother told her, and her mother said that she was still young and couldn't just keep it like this for the rest of her life. Tang knew what her mother meant, if her father-in-law was willing to let her remarry, she would still remarry.

It's not that Tang didn't think about remarrying, but the gate was stuck with her father-in-law, and if her father-in-law didn't let go, she couldn't remarry. But now that Yueyao is back, does it mean that she can actually break away from Ma Fu. But thinking of the little thought that her son Tang carried was extinguished again, if she remarried, what would happen to her son? How hard it is for a child without a father or mother.

As soon as Yueyao got into bed, Xiang Wei said beside her: "Don't worry, girl, there are people patrolling outside, if there is any change, we will know immediately." ”

Yue Yao knew that Xiang Wei was afraid that she would fall into the shadow, so she deliberately said this to comfort her, Yue Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't leave a shadow." ”

Yueyao quickly fell asleep.

Xiang Wei saw that Yueyao slept soundly, so she believed that what Yueyao said was not necessary. Xiang Wei said in a low voice: "It's good that there are no shadows." "All this should be attributed to An Zhichen's careful care, otherwise with the girl's temperament, where can she let go so quickly. In the past, Xiang Wei always felt that An Zhichen had a lot of problems, but with this incident, Xiang Wei no longer picks bones in eggs.

After Yue Yao finished breakfast the next day, she originally wanted to go to the Hou Mansion, but was stopped by Xiang Wei, "Girl, let's go see Mingzhu first!" After you disappeared, Mingzhu washed her face with tears all day long, and dreamed of you committing suicide every day, even if she knew that you were safe and sound, she still didn't feel at ease when she didn't see you.

Yue Yao nodded and said, "Then I'll go to see Mingzhu first, and then go to the Hou Mansion." ”

Xiang Wei shook his head and said, "Mrs. Jingning Hou doesn't know about your disappearance, so you don't need to go to the Hou Mansion for the time being." Xiang Wei didn't believe Ping's, but this storm still didn't provoke the topic.

Yueyao nodded.

Yue Yao arrived at Niu Mansion, and as soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw Mingzhu holding the child, Yue Yao walked over with a smile and said, "Mingzhu." ”

Mingzhu's eyes were red, and the child in her arms shouted to Yueyao in a milky voice, "Auntie." ”

Yueyao Dale, take the child from Mingzhu's hand and take a bite. Yue Yao looked at the look of disgust on her face, and smiled.

Mingzhu saw Yueyao's expression and breathed a sigh of relief, Yueyao entered the house, she asked the nurse to carry the child down, except for Bai Yi and Xiang Wei in the house, everyone else also retreated.

Mingzhu took Yue Yao's hand and asked anxiously, "Yue Yao, what's going on?" How did this happen? When Yueyao came back, she thought the matter was over, but a few days ago, it was rumored that Yueyao eloped with someone, and she was so angry that she didn't eat.

Yue Yao told Mingzhu about her leaving the capital Daohaikou, and said everything in detail, and after finishing speaking, Yue Yao said softly: "I'm sorry for making you frightened." ”

Mingzhu wiped a handful of tears, then patted Yueyao and scolded: "I'm sorry, it's not your fault, I hate that I didn't kill that madman." ”

Yue Yao comforted Mingzhu and said, "It's all over, I'm fine, don't worry about it anymore." "This time she disappeared, which made many people worry.

Mingzhu nodded, "I used to think that Achen was not worthy of you, but now it seems that you have a good eye, and I will not give him a face in the future." ”

Yue Yao smiled. gave An Zhichen a look one by one, and she felt that An Zhichen was very sad!

Mingzhu let go of the burden in her heart and said, "Yueyao, why did you set the wedding date to October, how good is it to set June." That way we can talk together more often in the future. "Achen's house is less than a quarter of an hour away from her house, and she can come to the door at any time.

Yueyao said helplessly: "My wedding dress hasn't been embroidered yet, why is it set in June?" "She is no longer reluctant to marry An Zhichen, so there is no difference between a few months earlier and a few months later, but the wedding dress is not embroidered, how to marry.

Yueyao's previous attitude was actually a little careless, but with this incident, it was enough to see that An Zhichen was sincere to her, and she didn't want to be perfunctory, so she had to embroider the wedding dress herself.

Mingzhu looked at Yueyao's expression, and said with a smile: "Yes, Yueyao, if you need my help with anything, just ask!" ”

Yue Yao heard Mingzhu's laughter, and also laughed: "I will take care of my affairs, you can live your own little life." ”

Mingzhu pouted when she heard this, "My husband didn't say anything to me, but my father-in-law is really speechless." ”

Yue Yao was a little surprised, "What's wrong?" "The eldest son has already married a wife and had children, and now he is also very good in the Hanlin Academy, Lord Niu shouldn't be looking for him!

Mingzhu sneered: "He didn't embarrass his husband, he was embarrassing me, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and it is my job to find a good daughter-in-law for my uncle, but I said that it is not too late to wait for my uncle to go to the Jinshi in the next scientific examination." But he didn't want to. "Actually, it's not Lord Niu who doesn't want to, but Aunt Liu.

Mingzhu is very contemptuous of Aunt Niu's short-sightedness, Niu Yang Dynasty is now a meritorious person, but in the capital, let alone lifting people, even if there are many Jinshi, even if the Jinshi is in the examination, it is impossible to marry a well-educated concubine of a high-ranking family, not to mention that Niu Yangchao is still a concubine! Of course, if Niu Yangchao can be the same as him, it would be another matter if he was a champion.

Yue Yao is not good at commenting on this kind of family matter, mainly because Yue Yao is not very clear about this, for fear of coming up with ideas to help, "If you really want to choose, you must not pick a strong one, otherwise it will be difficult to get along at that time." "Mingzhu's temperament is a little domineering, if you find a brother and daughter-in-law who is strong, the concubines will definitely have disputes if they don't get along well, Yueyao is not worried about Mingzhu's loss, but there are quiet days, who likes to make trouble!

Mingzhu said happily: "Well, I remember." In fact, her sister-in-law also said this. Mingzhu gets along well with Mrs. Jingninghou, so there are some things that Mingzhu will also ask for Ping's idea. The idea given by Ping is accurate one by one.
