PS: These two chapters have a blockbuster plot hidden, hahaha......

The night was dark and insects chirping.

This old lady can sing "Reed Song", and her voice is soft and beautiful. Yan Yuzhi lay on the couch, confused, and whispered, mother. Then there was a slight snoring sound that made his sideburns jump and jump. The soft light fell on his cheek, and he frowned, not sleeping well.

The old woman's body shook, her mouth opened and closed, and the water rippled slightly under her eyes, but she didn't make a sound.

The leopard rider standing on the side whispered: "Thank you Mama for taking care of the son, the son is already asleep." ”

The old lady stood up silently, took a thin quilt and covered it with Yan Yu, and stood on the edge of the couch and looked at him in a daze, and then turned away lonely. The leopard rider thought it was very strange, but he didn't take it seriously.

Leaving the guest house, the old lady walked slowly under the porch alone. She was very familiar with Yanjiazhuang, and the villagers who were patrolling Yanjiazhuang at night seemed to be unable to see her, and let her return to the place where the female guests lived from the men's courtyard in the outer courtyard.

She stood under the big banyan tree in front of the courtyard, hiding in the shadow of the tree, looking up in amazement. Ke Niang, her Ke Niang, is so big, and has changed so much, so much. Her heart was like a knife, her eyes were red, but she couldn't shed a single tear.

Only by gritting her teeth can she control herself not to knock on the door again, and to think of an excuse to see her beloved Ke Niang.

No, I can't stay any longer! She turned around and flew away. She didn't notice that there was a girl's house hidden among the dense branches of the big banyan tree, staring at her silently with curious eyes.

It was the bright moon on duty at night, and she saw the strange behavior of this strange old woman. She bit her fingernails and wondered how an old woman who seemed to be about to walk could maintain such a graceful figure? Judging from the back, this old lady is a beautiful woman with all kinds of charms.

It's so strange, it's so strange, I'm going to tell the girl when I go back! Mingyue nodded her little head hard.

The old lady didn't know that she had already revealed her secrets. She returned to the outer courtyard where the men lived. But this time, she entered the courtyard of Xiao Chonghui, the prince of Fenyang.

Xiao Chonghui was walking around the courtyard restlessly, and when he saw people coming in, he breathed a sigh of relief. Ying stepped forward and asked with concern, "Mama Li, where have you been?" ”

Mama Li glanced at Xiao Chonghui, dragged her heavy steps inside, and said lightly: "I went to see the third girl of Zongzheng, and the mother ordered the old man to take a look at her." ”

"Why does my aunt want you to go and see the third girl Zongzheng?" Xiao Chonghui smiled disapprovingly. "My sister went to Yunhang Mansion for the title of princess of Qin. I also know that it is absolutely impossible to get it. ”

"Oh?" Mama Li entered the main hall, sat down directly on the chair closest to the door, pinched her eyebrows tiredly, and asked Xiao Chonghui who followed up, "Why is the prince so unconfident in the five girls?" ”

Although he had never seen this Mama Li by his aunt's side, seeing her pinching her eyebrows and small movements exactly the same as her aunt, Xiao Chonghui felt kind. "It's not a question of faith," he laughed. Although Mrs. Xiao opened the door wide this time, we must be self-aware. ”

Mama Li showed a look of appreciation. nodded and said: "Yes, the Xiao family has a meager background, and it all depends on the concubine Niangniang to have today." The prince is sober-minded and has not been dazzled by wealth, which is not only the blessing of the mother, but also the blessing of the Xiao family and the son. ”

Xiao Chonghui sighed and said with a wry smile: "My sister hasn't suffered much, but I still remember the feeling of being hungry and full when I was a child." Then. My aunt is just a little palace maid. ”

Mama Li smiled, casually scribbled her sideburns, and her movements were elegant and calm. She said lightly: "The son of the world doesn't have to be arrogant. For the future of the five girls, Niangniang knows in her heart. Own arrangement. But you have to explain to the five girls, don't get along with the three girls of Zongzheng. If you can befriend her, that's the best. Even if she doesn't like the three girls of Zongzheng, she tries not to annoy others. ”

"I understand, I have already sent a letter to my sister. This third girl of Zongzheng does not mention the prominence of her father's family and mother's family. Even if she is friendly with the Venerable Buddha Kingdom, I will not let my sister blame her. Xiao Chonghui said in a low voice, "Before I came, His Royal Highness the Ninth also instructed me privately. ”

Mama Li was a little surprised, her eyes flashed with a strange light, and she asked, "What did His Highness the Ninth say?" ”

Xiao Chonghui said vaguely: "Just don't offend people lightly." ”

Mama Li snorted lightly, slowly stood up and said, "It's night, let's settle the prince earlier." By the way, when will we leave tomorrow? ”

Xiao Chonghui didn't dare to snub the old woman, and replied in great detail: "Sixteen young people said that they were in a hurry for days, and everyone was tired, so they decided to rest for half a day. Tomorrow, after lunch, we will abandon the horse and board the boat together, and settle down in the ghost king water village in the evening. ”

Mama Li couldn't help but be disappointed, she thought that she would stay in Yanjiazhuang for at least one day, and she wouldn't be able to walk around so freely when she arrived at the Ghost King Water Village. From this, she speculated that Mrs. Xiao's health might be really bad.

After pondering for a moment, she made up her mind: "The old body will be sent here, the prince will talk to Lord Yan Zhuang and arrange for the old body to return to Beijing immediately." ”

Xiao Chonghui exclaimed: "Mama, you are old, why do you bother running around overnight?" Why don't you rest for the night! ”

Mama Li shook her head and said, "The old body can't let go of the capital, so it's good to go back as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Chonghui failed to persuade Mama Li, so he had no choice but to look for someone. At that time, Yan Huawu had already rested with Teng Baozhen, and he only found Young Master Yan. Young Master Yan didn't dare to slack off, and this Mama Li brought a vote of people by herself, as long as she opened the door of the village and let them leave.

Mama Li got into the carriage and left overnight surrounded by more than 100 black-clad masked riders.

Willing to take risks and travel thousands of miles to make such a trip, she talked to Zong Zhengke face-to-face, and helped Yan Yuzhen take a bath with her own hands, which was already a big gain beyond her expectations. This trip not only comforted her for ten years of longing for her relatives, but also increased her motivation to support her to continue to struggle in the crisis-ridden harem until she got everything she wanted!

When passing by Dazhang Mountain, Mama Li stopped the carriage. Despite the darkness of the night and the difficulty of the narrow road, she climbed the Tongxin Plain with difficulty. Walking slowly to the concentric tree, she reached out and stroked the rough trunk, looking up at the concentric knots swaying slowly in the evening breeze, and boundless grief instantly overflowed her heart.

She didn't know that just a few hours ago, there was a man she had been missing for years, a man she thought had died in the raging fire, who had gently touched the concentric trees and looked up at those concentric knots as she had done.

The knot that belongs to her and him, after the baptism of wind and frost in the past ten years, has the color not changed and the original intention is still the same? ! Who knows? (To be continued.) )
