Xu said softly: "Girl......"

Zong Zhengke stretched out his hand and patted Xu's tightly intertwined hands, and said in a low voice, "I asked my cousin about your family's situation earlier. Seeing that Xu's expression instantly became nervous, she smiled soothingly.

There was a reassuring magical power in the girl's smile, and Xu slowly let go of the frowning brow that he didn't know when. Zong Zhengke continued: "Come on, soon, auntie, you will be able to meet them." ”

Xu's eyes were slightly red, he sniffed, nodded heavily, and didn't ask any further.

The carriage rolled and went, and the monotonous but not harsh sound sounded in the silent alleyway, making people drowsy. In order to welcome the new owner, Changshun-in was renovated and cleaned. In the faint smell of flowers and trees in this courtyard, the smell of varnish is so faint that it is almost inaudible.

In the purple tile bluestone corridor outside Ningchun Hall, dozens of people are waiting along the corridor that extends to the left and right. Among them, there were men and women, but they were all older. At a glance, there were only a few young people, Liao Liao. They all knelt on the cold masonry floor, their heads bowed and their eyes closed, and their expressions were the same respectful.

Zong Zhengke's footsteps paused, he didn't expect to see such a scene. She has never liked people kneeling on her, and in the Zongzheng family, there are few servants kneeling and waiting. But when she first arrived, even if she didn't like it, she could only endure it temporarily. She walked over slowly, her posture was straight, her skirt was not moving, and her demeanor was elegant and dignified.

The main entrance of Ning Chun Hall was wide open, and there were also a few people kneeling here. They were dressed in a different way from those in the corridors, and their clothes were trimmed along different colors. Zong Zhengke noticed that Xu's footsteps were slightly chaotic and his breathing was suddenly short, so he glanced at her sideways, and then followed her excited and eager gaze.

It was an old woman with gray temples, her lowered eyes couldn't hide the water in her eyes, and the dots of emerald grass patterns inserted in her hair trembled slightly. Xu's face is very similar to hers, and Zong Zhengke knows that this must be Xu's mother, Mama Ge. She stopped and called softly, "Mama Ge? ”

The old woman's body shook and she stepped forward on her knees neatly. bowed his head to the ground and kowtowed to Zong Zhengke. "Slave Xu Geshi, meet Miss Ke! Girl, Daan! There was a faint excitement in her calm voice.

Zong Zhengke stretched out his hand and said, "Mama Ge excuses herself from being polite, and gets up to speak." ”

"Yes." Mama Ge kowtowed to Zong Zhengke again, and then she got up from the ground neatly. But until then. She didn't look at the Xu family behind Zong Zhengke. After standing up, she also bowed slightly respectfully, ready to obey orders.

Zong Zhengke really couldn't bear it in his heart, so he glanced at Xu's family, and then said to Mama Ge: "Please ask Mama to send someone to take me to a resting place." My aunt who is in charge will naturally explain the rest to my grandmother. ”

Mama Ge nodded, and bowed to Zong Zhengke: "Follow your orders, girl, and the slave will call someone to lead the way." She saluted again, took a few steps back, and left Zong Zhengke's serious line of sight before turning around and leaving quickly. Her demeanor was impeccable, and her departing back was still upright despite her haste.

Zong Zhengke took advantage of this effort and took a closer look at the remaining two middle-aged men in their forties who were still kneeling. Naturally, they were all strangers, so she glanced at Xu.

Xu hurriedly stepped forward. Zong Zhengke whispered in his ear: "The one with the purple side of Tsing Yi is Xiao Guan, and when the eldest lady is here, he is the deputy deacon of the outer courtyard, helping Uncle Fu to manage all the shopping in the courtyard." The blue-clothed and blue-edged one is Xiao He, who used to be the deputy head of the nursing home of Changchun Courtyard. ”

The uncle Fu mentioned by the Xu family is Xiao Quanzhong's father Xiao Fu. Purchasing is a fat difference, and this deputy deacon Xiao Guan can be called a powerful person. Xiao He, the deputy commander of the nursing home, Zong Zhengke's eyes lit up, and he quickly swept over this person's unfazed face. No less than eight grades of cultivation. But condescending to the inner courtyard, this person is probably a master cultivated by the Xiao family.

Zong Zhengke thought about it again, everyone said that his mother Xiao Wenying was deeply liked by the elders in the family. Then why, only Xiao Fu was the only one who married with his mother? Look at the scale of Changchun Garden. My mother is said to have lived here for seven or eight years, so how can she have a few confidants?

It's unreasonable, very unreasonable! Zong Zhengke had never thought about this problem before, she didn't care about Xiao Wenying's dowry, and she never cared why she knew that Xiao Fu's family was the only companion.

Among the dowries embezzled by Mrs. Ren, there are several grange shops. Those people in those industries. Later, Zong Zhengjin once vaguely confessed, saying that they were all replaced by Mrs. Ren. So, are those people in the past the companions of her mother, who she doesn't know? Where did all those people go?

Full of questions, Zong Zhengke could only hide in his heart for the time being. Maybe in the Xiao family, she can find the truth. Stretching out her hand to make a false gesture, she said in a low voice: "Uncle Guan, Uncle He, please get up." It's getting late today, and I'll talk to you later. When the mother was here, what did the two of them do, and now it's still arranged like that. Deacon of the Outer Court, Uncle Quan Zhong...... Top first. ”

Xiao Guan and Xiao He kowtowed respectfully, answered "yes" in unison, and got up again. The two men also knew that the inner court should not stay for long, so they retreated. At this time, Mama Ge came over with a pink-clad girl. Zong Zhengke turned around and left, but the pink-clothed girl bent her knees to her back before silently following her.

Xu glanced at the four of Mingxin, and the four hurriedly followed. In this way, at the door of the main hall of Ningchun Hall, only Mama Ge and her were left. At this time, Xu Shi knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, then raised his head and choked and called, "Mother." ”

"Green sprouts, sprouts! My mother thought that I would never see you again in my life! Mama Ge also had tears in her eyes, stepped forward to pull Xu up, shook her hands, looked at her intently in the light, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let my mother take a look at you." ”

Xu Shi was in tears, and she clasped her well-maintained hands tightly with Mama Ge, but said with a smile: "Mother, my daughter is doing very well by the girl's side, and she is very comfortable!" ”

Mama Ge sighed and said with pity: "No matter how comfortable you are, you have reduced a lot." ”

Although her daughter's appearance is still beautiful and gentle, the fatigue between her eyebrows still makes Mama Ge feel distressed. The real life situation can't be said to her mother, and Xu can only look at her with guilt.

Both mother and daughter know that this is not a good place to reminisce at this time, and it is only right to place Zong Zhengke first. Xu took Mama Ge's arm, followed each other to the side door of Ningchun Hall, and told her about Zong Zhengke's habit of sleeping peacefully at night. (To be continued.) )
