The three of them began their apprenticeships. The next day, when she passed through a small town, she wrote a letter in her own hand, explaining to her mother, and the messenger sent it to her home. He followed Feng Feifei and went all the way south.

The four masters and apprentices were not in a hurry, Feng Feifei was very sure that the senior brother she was looking for would not leave the hiding place in a short time, so she taught while walking on the way. They switched to horse-drawn carriages, and when they encountered a smooth road, they learned pharmacological knowledge in the car; When they encountered deep mountains and old forests, they would walk through them, and Feng Feifei took the opportunity to take them to identify herbs, catch those poisonous animals, and collect venom for practice. In this way, three months passed, and by the time they reached their destination, the three of them had already learned a good thing. This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

Let's go back to the capital. After the Jiang family had an open and in-depth conversation that day, the eldest princess went home with a heart. Although she still doesn't have a good face for Jiang Wu and his wife, she is no longer as resistant to marrying as she was before. At present, the only thing she wants in her heart is that her daughter can return safely, as long as this wish can be realized, she is willing to agree to anything.

Jiang Wu and his wife sent a letter to the barracks the next day, announcing to their son that the two were his good daughter-in-law, in addition to warning him not to provoke other girls, but also mentioning that the county lord of Minyi might go to the frontier, so that he must take care of others at that time. After Jiang Yunfei read this family letter, he was really confused and had a question mark in his head. He is bent on making contributions, how can he think about the love of his children. That admonition didn't go to my heart, and the last inexplicable entrustment was forgotten after reading it, and it was left behind.

And after Zhihua returned home from Jiang's mansion, the first thing she did was to find Mama Dou to deal with her assertions.

Mama Dou, who was reprimanded by her in a hurry, was still calm when she faced her again, as if what had never happened before.

"The slave and maid meet the princess." After saluting, she lowered her head and looked like she was at her disposal, which made Zhihua, who was originally holding back the fire in her belly, feel like a punch on cotton, with nowhere to use her strength, and it was difficult to get out.

"Mama Dou, do you know what mistakes you made this time?"

"The slave and maid are guilty, the slave and the maid should not be the master of their own affairs, and conceal the fact that the county lord begged you for help." She had a good attitude and admitted her mistakes simply, but she didn't make Zhihua feel the slightest remorse.

"If you had to do it all over again, would you still do it?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because the slave thinks you shouldn't have intervened in this matter at all. The county lord of Minyi is messing around by herself, no matter how angry the eldest princess is, it is her daughter after all, and the county lord will only learn a little lesson at most, and he will not worry about his life. But if you go to help her think of a plan and escape the punishment of the eldest princess, coupled with your relationship with the Jiang family, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will definitely be angry with you and hold a grudge. ”

"In this way, I would like to thank Mama for thinking about me wholeheartedly and helping me make the most correct decision after judging the situation?" Zhihua laughed angrily, and her apricot eyes narrowed slightly.

"It is the slave's duty to share the worries of the master, and the master should not thank him." Whether she is angry or happy, Mama Dou always maintains a calm state, but the implication is that she always thinks that what she has done is not wrong.

Faced with this kind of person who is doing things that make him angry under the banner of his own good, Zhihua suddenly felt a big headache, swallowed all the words he had originally thought of disposing of, was silent for a moment, and after clarifying his thoughts, he spoke again.

"Then look at the present, because of your concealment, things have developed to this point, Minyi sneaked out, and her whereabouts are unknown, do you still think I can stay out of it?"

"If the princess doesn't go to the Jiang family, she can."

"Mama, do you know what Minyi is to me? What is the Jiang family to me? When my mother died early, if it weren't for my uncle's support, my sister and brother wouldn't be alive now. And Minyi, since the acquaintance, has always been sincere to me, no matter what difficulties I encounter, she will not hesitate to help. If I really do what my mother said, ignore it, and abandon the kindness of the past, what difference will I have with that beast? Just like now, I have always called myself in front of you, not because I am not used to being on the shelf, but because I am grateful for the kindness you once reminded me of my brother and me, and respect you from the bottom of my heart. Speaking of emotion, she choked up, took a deep breath to ease her feelings, and continued.

"I know that Mama can survive in the palace, judging the situation, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil has become your instinct, I can forgive you this time, but you have to remember that there must not be a next time! Now the master you are with is not the Queen Mother, but me Lu Zhihua! The Weiguo Mansion is not a palace, and you don't need to abandon your feelings in order to survive as in the past. I don't know what kind of life you have had, but now that you are by my side, please stop tightening the string in your heart and live a more relaxed and humane life, okay? ”

A little more human? Mama Dou chewed these words, although her face was still habitually expressionless, her heart began to ripple layer by layer. In the memory buried deep in my heart, there was also a person who complained that she was too rational and lived like a wooden man who was not approachable. And now, can she finally liberate herself and live like a person? But what does it look like to be a real flesh-and-blood person? She turned around in confusion, forgetting for the first time in front of her master, and forgetting how she walked back to her room. Tossing and turning, sleepless night.

Since talking about this incident, Zhihua was pleased to find that in the following days, Mama Dou gradually changed. The most obvious thing is that there is a little more smile on her face, and the people in the house are still in awe of her, but they will no longer be as in awe with obvious fear as before.

And it was only after this time that Mama Dou really realized that the outside and the palace were really different - there was no ubiquitous intrigue, no endless open and secret fighting, and she really didn't have to carry a heart all day long, to be vigilant, to calculate. Such a simple and easy life, she only had before entering the palace, and it was also a desire that she had once pressed in the bottom of her heart. Now that she has finally got what she wants, she has never enjoyed and cherished it in her heart. She began to try to slowly integrate into Zhihua's world, and gradually regarded the Weiguo Mansion as her final destination.

Zhihua didn't have a grudge because of her mistake this time, nor did she secretly wary of her because she was likely to be an eyeliner in the palace. In the face of Mama Dou, she treated her mother like Han, treating the other party as an elderly person who could be trusted, and she did not ask for advice when she encountered problems. After this time, there was no unpleasantness between the master and servant, and they got along more and more harmoniously. (To be continued.) )
