"It's really Uncle Xuan, how can you grow into an adult? It's not at all like when I was a kid. Mama Lei was excited, and there were tears in her eyes.

Cui Shangzhou said with a smile: "Old man, how many years have you been away from the palace, of course Uncle Mu has also grown up." Isn't your Boer an adult anymore? ”

Mama Lei nodded tremblingly: "It's the same." He looked at Mu Xuan carefully, and nodded with great satisfaction: "Uncle Xuan grew very thin when he was a child, but he didn't expect to be a lot stronger when he got older." The old slave looked a little like the old prince. ”

Mu Xuan saw the old man at that time, and he was not excited in his heart. His sister had already asked people to clean up the house and settle Mama Lei, and he asked Cui Shangzhou to go to Lutang to pick up Lei Bo and reunite their mother and son.

Immediately afterwards, Mama Lei went to see the county lord of Duanhui again.

The county lord of Duanhui knew that there were four nurses around his younger brother at the beginning, and Mama Lei was the one who served the longest and was the last to leave, so she was a little more polite to her.

Fortunately, on the way, Cui Shangzhou mentioned some information to her about the situation in the palace, and she learned that the county lord is now a new widow and lives in this villa. So when she saw Duanhui, she couldn't help but feel a little more pity. Although the Lord of the Heart Dao County is rich and noble in this life, he is inevitably lonely and desolate. It would be better if I could leave a child, but there are no sons and half daughters.

Duanhui politely said to Mama Lei: "Junhua is a person who misses the old love, I heard that your son is not far from here. It's better to stay in the villa. ”

Mama Lei said with a smile: "The county lord is too polite, Uncle Xuan is very happy to let people pick up the old slave." ”

After Chai's death, Mu Xuan's body was weak, Concubine Yan discussed with King Yu, and sent Mu Xuan to the temple for foster care. After Mu Xuan went to the temple, most of the nurses, maids, and mothers-in-law who served by his side were also dismissed. Mama Lei is naturally among them.

And the servants who served the Chai clan also did not stay, rushed to death, and died without a good end. Mama Lei was afraid of being implicated. I had to run around with my husband and a pair of children, living in fear. Now Mu Xuan asked her to come back again, at first she didn't believe it, thinking that the princess was bluffing her and coaxing her into the house. and hold accountable for the events of the year. Who ever thought it was Mu Xuan's meaning.

Before dark, Cui Shangzhou brought Lei Bo with him.

The chance meeting of mother and son can't help but add a little sadness.

Mama Lei just reprimanded her son for being ignorant.

"You ran away from home without saying a word, and you refused to go back to see me for so long. I'm still dreaming that you fell into the river and drowned. I was so scared that I didn't dare to sleep anymore, so I went to the temple early in the morning to offer incense to you and ask for a peace charm. ”

When Lei Bo heard his mother's words, he was sweating, and he comforted him repeatedly: "Let my mother worry." ”

Mama Lei took her son's hand again. looked up and down and said, "It's dark, you're thin, kid, you've suffered a lot, haven't you?" Listen to my mother's advice. Find a job to do in a down-to-earth manner, you don't have the mind to do business, I'm afraid you will have to discount the capital. ”

Lei Bo said shamefully: "Don't worry, mother, now that I am working in the village, it is inevitable that I will get a little tanned." It's been a long time since I stopped doing business with people. ”

Mama Lei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thanks to Uncle Xuan's help, you have to do things well, and you can't go wrong." ”

Lei Bo was a little confused. He is now working in the Rong family, and he has nothing to do with the Mu family.

That night, Duanhui treated a table of banquets according to Mu Xuan's intentions. Entertain the mother and son of the Lei family. And he sent two maids over to serve them. Mu Xuan didn't ask Mama Lei anything.

"How are you going to arrange Mama Lei?"

Mu Xuan's original plan was just to ask Mama Lei a few words, and she didn't make too many arrangements, but when she saw her sister ask like this, she thought for a while before saying, "Look at what she means." ”

"If she wants to arrange a serious errand for her son, I can help." Duanhui's dowry still needs to be taken care of, and there is a shortage of people in several Zhuangzi and shops under his name.

Mu Xuan said: "He is now sold to the Rong family." I think I will still do things for the Rong family. But he was going to ask Repo what he meant, if he would come and help his sister

Duan Hui only understood here, and said with a smile: "You said that you thanked Miss Rongsan, did you thank her for taking in Lei Bo?" ”

Mu Xuan nodded.

Duan Hui felt that he was thinking wrong, and he couldn't help but laugh a little.

"If Mama wants to leave, I will ask my sister to buy a generous reward for her old man."

This is not a difficult thing, although Duanhui has returned now, she still has a few dollars in her hand, and she has to be at her own disposal, and no one cares about her. King Yu was afraid that this widowed daughter would be wronged, so he gave her more than a dozen shops in Yangzhou.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it."

Early the next morning, Mu Xuan got up and came back from practicing swords. The mother and son of the Lei family came over to greet Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan frowned and said, "Did Mama sleep unsteadily last night?" ”

It's really unstable, and I'm used to sleeping on the earthen kang at home, and I'm not used to sleeping on such a delicate stepping bed. Even though it's summer, it's still cool at night. The maids also did their best, and sent quilts made of silk and satin, and the quilt was continuously woven with brocade embroidery, but they always felt that it was not as comfortable as the homespun homespun cloth.

I didn't cover it all night, I felt cold, and I felt hot when I covered it, so I only slept a little more restfully, and I woke up before I was right.

Now that Mu Xuan asked in person, Mama Lei replied a little uncomfortably: "I have this old bone, and I even chose a bed." It may be that I am used to sleeping on the earthen kang and covering the reed flower homespun cloth quilt. accidentally changed the rich place, but the heart is not steady. ”

Mu Xuan listened to the nurse's words, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. I have been a nurse in the house, and I have retired after success, which one is not honorable? He is still the eldest son in the palace, and the nurse has been reduced to the point of worrying about food and clothing.

"Grandma, can you stay here for a long time?"

Mama Lei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I can't help it, this is the Zhuangzi of the first princess." Where can the old slave live for a long time? ”

"I said you can live if you can, do you have anyone else who can't say anything?" Mu Xuan was slightly displeased.

Mama Lei timidly glanced at her son. Although it is rich and rich, it can accompany the county lord and Uncle Xuan, but it is not his own home after all. And then she still thinks about those grandchildren.

When breakfast was passed out, Mu Xuan asked people to pack a table for their mother and son to eat.

After the meal, Lei Bo remembered that there was still something to deal with in Lutang, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye to Mu Xuan: "Uncle Mu, the little one should go back to Zhuangzi." ”

Mu Xuan nodded and said, "Okay." There you go. Your mother lives here, so I'll come back to see her when I'm free. ”

Mama Lei glanced at her son, and Lei Bo pulled her away and said a few words before leaving.

Mu Xuan invited Mama Lei to sit in the hall, and retired the maids serving beside her.

"This time, please come here. It's me who has a few words to ask Mama. Please also tell me. ”

Mama Lei panicked and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Uncle Xuan wants to ask?" ”

Mu Xuan slowly twisted a string of beads in her hand, and asked calmly: "What was the scene when my mother left, did my mother ever know?" ”

Mama Lei showed a panicked look on her face, and the expression on her face did not escape Mu Xuan's eyes. He understood it at this moment. Sure enough, there was something wrong with what happened back then.

"At that time, the old slave was only in charge of the things in Uncle Xuan's room, and the old slave didn't know much about other things."

Mu Xuan could hear that this was Mama Lei's excuse, but in fact, he was not sure how much he could know about his mother from Mama Lei.

"How did the mother give birth to a miscarriage? What maids and grandmothers were serving in front of you at that time? Which doctor is it on? Mama is not impressed? Mu Xuan said one sentence after another, as if there was a persecutive tone.

Mama Lei was flustered, her back was full of sweat, she couldn't sit still anymore, she got up and said, "Uncle Huixuan." It's been so long since the events of that year, and the old slave really can't remember it very clearly. The old slave can only say what he knows. ”

"Okay, you know something, remember something. Let's just say this. Mu Xuan's tone softened twice, and asked Mama Lei to sit down.

Mama Lei was sitting on pins and needles at the moment, her eyes looked at the trees outside the window, looked at the green leaves full of branches, and fell into the memories of the events of the past.

"The first princess is really a good person. When the old slave entered the house, he only raised my girl for a short time, and the milk was fine. At that time, the princess asked the old slave and the Qiu family to take care of you together. At that time, you were very thin and small, and you were born half a month prematurely, and you were born with some deficiencies. The first princess was very polite to the people we served, and often asked us to come and ask about you. Three years passed without incident. Later, I had Bogoer, and it stands to reason that I should have taken the initiative to go back. The first princess saw that I was honest and dedicated. I have only been given a few months off, and I still come into the house to serve you. ”

"The first princess is not in good health, and she is naturally quiet, so she spends more days living in the villa here. Later, it was rumored that she was pregnant. Stayed here for a long time. ”

"The Queen's birthday. The prince wants to enter Beijing to congratulate. The princess should also go with her, but the princess's fetal image is not very stable. For the sake of safety, the prince handed over the princess to the care of the concubine, and only took the county lord to the capital. The princess also moved back to the mansion. It was a particularly hot year. After the prince left, the princess's body gradually deteriorated, and she was bedridden for half a month. ”

"Until that afternoon. The princess suddenly cried out for a stomachache and fainted in the concubine's house. The concubine was shocked, and hurriedly asked people to help the princess lie on the bed, and asked an experienced grandmother in the house to guard her. When it came to Shen Zheng, he saw the red ...... I can't remember which old slave the doctor hired. When it was time to enter the shift, the fetus fell off, and it was pitiful, it was already six months old, a neat little boy. I heard that the little boy's lips were purple, and he lost his breath at once. The princess was sad, and the bleeding couldn't be stopped, and she kept shouting that her stomach hurt. I struggled in bed all night, and the next day I went. ”

After Mama Lei said these words, she was already sweating.

Mu Xuan quietly listened to Mama Lei's words, and was not shocked. Mama Lei's words are not different from what he has known over the years.

"Why don't you see the people who served the concubine back then? No matter how much I asked them, I didn't hear from them at all? This is Mu Xuan's biggest doubt.

Mama Lei lowered her eyelids and said: "The princess is gone, and the concubine scolded the people in front of her for not serving her well, so she cleaned up the people in front of her." After the prince came back, he also picked up a group of people. ”

Mama Lei still remembers that the little girl who was in charge of boiling medicine for the princess at that time, Xiao Que, hanged herself in the South Qunfang. There were a lot of rumors about Xiaoque at that time, and Mama Lei had also heard a few words. However, with the death of Xiaoque, Mama Lei didn't dare to say a word at the moment. The palace is a deep pool, she finally came out, and she didn't want to fall into it again. She wants to live to be 60 years old, and she wants to see her grandchildren marry, and she wants to live a peaceful life.

Mama Lei was only responsible for taking care of him back then, and it was reasonable that she didn't know much about the things in the concubine's room. Mu Xuan didn't ask any more, and after pondering for a long time, he asked again: "Does Mama know the whereabouts of those big girls around the concubine?" ”

Mama Lei shook her head and said, "I don't know." After coming out of the palace, the old slave and her husband went back and forth several times before they finally settled down, and they had no contact with the previous people. ”

Mu Xuan stared at Mama Lei quietly, and only said for a long time: "I know." Go down and rest. If I think of something, I'll ask Mama again. ”

Mama Lei hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Mu Xuan turned his back and closed his eyes. When his mother left, he was only a five-year-old child. I only knew that I was crying on the coffin of my mother, and the concubine saw that he was pitiful, and took him personally for a while. After his mother left, he cried a few times, which added to his illness. There is often medicine at home, and he still remembers the scene when the big girl coaxed him to take medicine.

In July of the following year, Wu Shi entered the door and became his stepmother. After the mother left, it was not long after the anniversary. And his body has been sick, so the prince discussed with the concubine and fostered him in Puci Temple, and since then he has been worshipping under the name of Master Yuankong.

Another year passed, Mu Jing was born, when Mu Jing was two years old. King Yu asked Mu Jing to be crowned the prince.

Since then, he has not had much contact with the palace, and after his only sister got married, it was rare to go back once a year. and those so-called family members have long been estranged.

He revisited the events of that year, in addition to remembering his mother, there were also faint rumors. He didn't want to be in the dark for the rest of his life. If it weren't for Lei Bo's sudden appearance, he found Lei Mama, and he might not be able to find those old people in his life.

But the current situation is not much better than what he knows, Mama Lei seems to be an outsider, and she shouldn't know some details of the year. I still have to find the people who served my mother closely.

How could Mama Lei live in Qixia Villa with peace of mind, and insisted on going back to Nanyang.

Mu Xuan didn't force her to stay.

Duanhui gave a rich reward, and even said to Lei Bo: "I also have a Zhuangzi in Nanyang, why don't you go over there and help me take care of it." I can also take care of my mother. ”

Lei Bo remembered Rong Zheng's kindness at the beginning, and politely rejected the kindness of the county lord.

Mama Lei understood her son's intentions and pleaded for him.

"The county lord is kind, but I'm afraid the old slave will also go back to Xingyang, and Niu'er still needs the help of the old slave. I won't embarrass my son. ”

Duan Hui smiled: "Since that's the case, let's talk about it later." ”

The things given by Duanhui were loaded into a cart, and Mu Xuan still sent Cui Shangzhou to send Mama Lei back. (To be continued.) )
