The girl who greeted her at the gate of Cijing Garden saw Mu Shichang enter the courtyard, and immediately opened the curtain with a smile and came in to report, "The master has arrived." As soon as the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info finished speaking, before Xiao Shi and the others got up to greet him, Mu Shichang lifted the curtain and stepped in.

"My son is back." Clothed in the dust of the road, giving the old lady a deep bow, Mu Shichang said with a smile: "I have been delayed in Jinzhou for more than ten days, which makes my mother worried." With that, he gave Xiao a cold look.

Xiao pretended not to see Mu Shichang's annoyance, anyway, the old lady sent a message to slap Aunt Yue's face, and she didn't let people pick it up, and she didn't do her own thing, if you want to blame it, blame the woman you just took home!

Seeing that Xiao Shi turned a blind eye to his dissatisfaction, Mu Shichang's heart burned even more.

Seeing that although her son was standing in front of her, he was dusty, and he had lost a lot of weight, and the old lady couldn't help but burst into tears, "Hurry up." Then he said to the people who were waiting below, "Why don't you hurry up and bring hot tea to your master." ”

Taking the teacup, Mu Shichang took a sip and rinsed his mouth, spit out the cool air in his mouth, and then took a sip of a new cup of tea, "I thought that the heavy snow would close the road and delay some effort, but I thought that the emperor was sympathetic to the people and sprinkled salt along the road, but the road was not closed, so it was a few hours earlier than scheduled." ”

Seeing that her son suddenly mentioned this, knowing that he was unhappy because no one greeted her when she came back in the morning, the old lady also regretted listening to Xiao's words at this time, after all, it was her own son, Aunt Jianyue was small, and it was big to hurt her son.

After chanting Amitabha, the old lady glared at Xiao Shi unhappily, and finally her eyes fell on Aunt Yue behind Mu Shichang.

"Old lady Wan An, Mrs. Wan An." When Mu Shichang took a concubine in Jinzhou, Aunt Yue did not meet the old lady and his wife, but when she saw her for the first time, she knelt on the ground and gave the old lady and the wife three kneels and nine bows.

"I didn't come back then, but I came now?" When Aunt Yue gave her salute, the old lady did not tell her to get up, but only said with a cold face.

Seeing that Mu Shichang also looked at himself, and the old lady also glared at herself, the old and young people all fell on their heads for not going out to greet them, Xiao Shi cursed in his heart, it seems that he wants to quickly push Aunt Yue to the cusp of this wave.

Xiao Shi glanced at Mu Shichang's slightly frowning face, and hurriedly said with a smile: "She was also filial piety back then, not cheap." It seemed that he was pleading for Aunt Yue, but it led to another topic without a trace.

The old lady snorted coldly and said, "It's only been three years of filial piety, and it's taken her fifteen years. If it weren't for Shichang going to Jinzhou again this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't remember that this is your husband's house. With an angry face, he pointed at Aunt Yue and said. In the final analysis, what the old lady cares about is that Aunt Yue, a woman's family, has been scattered outside for so many years, ruining Mu Shichang's reputation, and everyone in Kyoto knows that there is an Aunt Yue in Jinzhou in Mu Mansion.

In the family of eunuchs, a woman's woman's morality is more important than anything else.

"The concubine doesn't dare." Aunt Yue replied with a trembling voice.

"Don't dare? If you don't dare, you won't show up for fifteen years, and if you do, what will you do? The old lady pressed, "Who knows what you've been doing out there for fifteen years!" I was so angry that I didn't care about the words that had been accumulated in my heart for many years, and I neglected to be with my son for a while.

The old lady's unintentional words entered Xiao's heart.

Seeing that Mu Shichang's face was ugly, Xiao Shi's heart was happy, and he made Mu Shichang so embarrassed as soon as he came, I was afraid that it would be difficult to be favored again.

The ground is cold and cold, and seeing that my mother is going to be troubled, how can I not care. The eldest lady was merciful and ruthless, the second aunt buried herself in making wood, and the father had a cold face, Linglong weighed left and right, knelt down at the old lady, and said crisply: "Grandmother Mingjian, in the past 14 years, my aunt has been spending her days with Linglong in Qingquan Nunnery in Jinzhou. ”

Lingyu snorted, rolled her eyes and said. "I didn't know how to say hello to my grandmother when I entered the door, but I knelt down at this time." If you don't show a trace, you will be charged with unfilial piety.

As soon as he entered the door and looked at his clothes, Linglong guessed that it must be Lingyu who spoke, and immediately smiled embarrassedly: "Linglong grew up in Qingquan Nunnery, and all she saw were sisters-in-law, and she had never seen such a good-looking person as her eldest sister. "In all fairness, Lingyu is indeed the most beautiful woman Linglong has ever seen.

Lingyu ate a soft knife, her heart was indignant, but she couldn't say anything.

The old lady noticed her other granddaughter, and swept away, although she was not as detached as Lingyu, but she was also born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dignified and decent, and her speech was neither humble nor arrogant, without a trace of small family spirit, at first glance, she was a person who could handle it, and taught Linglong like this, it can be seen that she is attentive, plus the old lady has always been devout to worship Buddha, I heard that she has been living in the nunnery, and her heart is not so tired of Aunt Yue, "Is it living in Qingquan Nunnery?" Turning his face to look at Mu Shichang, his voice was still displeased.

Seeing his mother's inquiry, Mu Shichang hurriedly nodded, "After my son left, I didn't worry about their mother and daughter, so I sent someone to send their mother and daughter to Qingquan Nunnery, and asked my sister-in-law, Master Hui'an, to help take care of it." This time I went to Jinzhou, I was picked up from Qingquan Nunnery. ”

Xiao Shi was shocked, no wonder he didn't starve to death after taking away her financial resources, it turned out that he went to the nunnery, and he couldn't help but regret his negligence back then.

In the morning, because of the greeting has swept his son's face, at this time, if he holds on to the person he brought back, it will make his son feel uncomfortable, since he lives in the nunnery, he has not ruined his reputation, and the old lady will no longer mention this stubble, but just bow her head and say to Aunt Yue: "No matter what, it shouldn't be so consumed for fifteen years." Today is coming, and the guilty will be punished. ”

"Concubines should be punished." Seeing that the old lady finally let go of this stubble, Aunt Yue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and hurriedly said.

"Copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times." The old lady leaned back, squinted her eyes and said.

Linglong's heart was shocked, there are three parts of the Diamond Sutra, which are copied a hundred times, even if it is written day and night, I am afraid that it will take a month. It seems that the old lady has a heart to prevent her father from entering her mother's room.

Xiao Shi heard that the old lady was just like that, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but when he heard the old lady say this, he became satisfied, "After all, you are a person who has lived in the nunnery, and if your mother does this, it can be regarded as letting you sincerely repay the favor of Qingquan Nunnery, and when you copy it, I will send someone to Qingquan Nunnery, which can be regarded as merit." You don't have to be angry. ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Aunt Yue still knelt there resignedly, not daring to get up or move.

Linglong raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao, her mother is weak and kind, maybe she can't hear the meaning of stirring up discord in Xiao's words, it doesn't mean that Linglong can't hear it.

"Mother is too worried, my aunt is very respectful to my grandmother and mother, when I was in the nunnery, I copied the scriptures for my grandmother, father and mother every day to pray for blessings, and now those hand-copied scriptures are still enshrined in Qingquan Nunnery." Linglong kowtowed slightly to Xiao Shi and said softly.

Today is just the first time they have met, and this eldest lady is going to pit people to death like this, and Linglong's vigilance against her has increased by eight grades.

Seeing that the old lady's face eased a little, Xiao Shi's heart was depressed for a while. was meant to make the old lady think that Aunt Yue was dissatisfied, but she didn't expect it to fulfill her good name, which made the old lady accept her a little in her heart.

Listening to Linglong's words, the old lady smiled slightly, "You have a heart, just get up." ”

When Aunt Yue heard this, she quickly kowtowed and thanked her, and helped Linglong to stand up with the pain in her knees. But he didn't dare to move his position, just stood there with his head down.

"You're learning calligraphy at Qingquan'an?" Xiao asked Linglong with a smile, with a concerned face.

"I accompany my aunt to copy scriptures every day, and I can recognize some words, but I can't compare to my eldest sister." Linglong glanced at Lingyu and replied respectfully, I am not as good as your daughter, so you don't have to embarrass me in the future.

Lingyu has been the key cultivation object of Mu Shichang and himself since she was a child, and Linglong is naturally a wild-raised girl who can't catch up, Xiao Shi smiled proudly in his heart, don't say that this house is all over Kyoto, no matter which child, in terms of talent and appearance, he can't reach Lingyu by half a point.

It's just that Aunt Yue has such a cowardly temperament, how can a fourteen-year-old child return home for the first time and behave so generously and decently...... Xiao Shi looked at Linglong's gaze and couldn't help but explore a little more.

"Mother, where should Aunt Yue and Linglong live?" Xiao Shi said with some sorrow: "It stands to reason that Linglong has not yet reached the end of the year, and she should live with Aunt Yue, but Aunt Yue wants to copy the scriptures, but I am afraid that Linglong is here and will disturb Aunt Yue's heart." ”

The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "Just let her live in the bamboo garden, as for Linglong's ......" The old lady said, glancing at Linglong, she looked at herself with burning eyes, and her heart was stunned, it was the first time that a child looked at her with such a pleading gaze, and finally endured the original thought in her heart, "There are many houses in the bamboo garden, if it is not in the way, let Linglong live with Aunt Yue first." ”

Although the old lady was angry with Aunt Yue's actions before, she made it difficult for her, but in the end, she was sensible and reasonable, Linglong was still young after all, and she was a newcomer, so she must not be able to leave Aunt Yue for a while.

Shichang has been marrying a wife and taking concubines for so many years, but the people in the house are not prosperous, and now counting this new Linglong, only three granddaughters. Even if she is disgusted with Aunt Yue's behavior over the years, the old lady will definitely not do anything to her granddaughter, she has always been the most important heir.

When Xiao Shi heard this, his heart was unhappy for a while, the old lady could do this, so she accepted the slut of Aunt Yue! I didn't expect that I was so angry last night that I needed the doctor to make a smooth soup, but today I accepted it so quickly...... But he could only smile and say: "My daughter-in-law thinks the same way, Zhuyuan is also close to my mother, and it is convenient for my sister to serve my mother." ”

The old lady didn't answer her words, but said: "I got up early in the morning, I was also a little tired, and the hour is not early, Shichang still has official business to be busy, so you don't have to spend it here, you all go and rest first." He also instructed Xiao Shidao: "In Zhuyuan, there are four mothers-in-law and eight girls like Xiuyuan who are waiting for the inside, and there are twenty rough ones outside," he said, glanced at a little girl behind Linglong, and asked Aunt Yue: "You came, but did you bring someone to serve?" ”

Aunt Yue shook her head, suddenly remembered Ziyue beside Linglong, and nodded again, "When the concubine and the third lady came, they only brought a girl. ”

The old lady nodded, and said to Xiao Shi, "Keep this girl, and you can pick some others." ”

Xiao nodded in response.
