On the appointed day, Rong Zheng didn't do anything, stayed in the villa all day, and didn't go anywhere. Occasionally, I would accompany the Lord of Duanhui to say a few words to her, or sit in the Qingyin Pavilion, or go to Tangli Study to write and read.

Before noon, Rong Zheng called Xiao Lu in and quietly instructed him: "You go and do something for me." ”

Xiao Lu said cautiously: "I don't know what grandma commands?" ”

Rong Zheng thought for a moment before saying, "You go to Caojia Lane outside Liangmen now to help me investigate." ”

Xiao Lu agreed without hesitation.

Rong Zheng said in his heart that there are many houses on the other side of Caojia Lane, how does Xiao Lu know which one it is, and he groaned for a while before saying, "You secretly go and inquire about what house the prince has over there, and pay attention to the situation for me." ”

Xiao Lu should say yes in his mouth, but he secretly wondered in his heart, what did grandma do when he asked about the world's affairs, but he was afraid that this errand was a little tricky.

"Be alert, the people in the house over there don't know you, don't reveal your identity. If someone crosses you, you have to think about it. ”

Xiao Lu hurriedly said: "The little one knows." ”

After Xiao Lu left, Rong Zheng was always very worried, she made up her mind not to jump into the pit, but she didn't know what tricks were waiting for her behind Mu Jing. Mu Jing is only afraid that she will use his identity and Mu Xuan to intimidate her now, she is not a little girl anymore, but she is not afraid of him.

Rong Zheng spent an uneasy afternoon, and it wasn't until dusk that Xiao Lu came in to reply to her words.

"Grandma, I heard that the prince in the house does have a house in Caojia Lane outside the Liang Gate. The little one pretended to be a merchant and went into the house to see it, and it is said that the prince passed in the morning. The little one didn't come out when he left. From the outside, the house looked like a normal home. There is a cave inside, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the carved beams are painted, and it is very magnificent. I am afraid that such a house will only cost a huge amount of money to buy. ”

Rong Zheng said in his heart, Mu Jing, the prince of the dignified domain, is there still a difference between these two money?

She sneered and asked, "No one found you, did they?" ”

Xiao Lu swore and said, "Absolutely not." The little ones are still ghostly and clever, grandma can rest assured. Besides, the little ones have never followed their grandmother into the house, so they naturally don't recognize the little ones. ”

Rong Zheng diǎn head said: "That's good." ”

∟dǐng∟diǎn∟小∟ said,.●.□os_(); She calmly took the tea and let Xiao Lu go down.

Two days passed peacefully, and nothing happened. Later, one day, the lord of Duanhui asked Rong Zheng to take time to go back to the palace. Go and say hello for her. Rong Zheng said that he was unwell. And didn't go.

It is not easy for the county lord to go to the palace now, and he can only ask Rong Zheng to go to ask for peace. It's okay to shirk once, but if you shirk too much, it can't be an excuse. She couldn't tell the county lord about Mu Jing.

Rong Zheng wanted to hide for a while, and made sure that Mu Jing could no longer blackmail her before going to the palace. Qingyun Lane didn't want to go back for the time being, and Ma was recuperating at home. It is said that the house is full of smoke and miasma. Huiqiu is nominally in charge of the house. But Mrs. Serious is back. No matter what you do, you can't let go, not to mention that Ma's intentions are very obvious, and naturally you can't find it everywhere. She didn't want to go back and add to the blockage.

When Rong Zheng was worried. It just so happened that Mama Meng came to the villa and brought Rong Zheng a not very good news.

Old Madam Lu is sick!

Rong Zheng hurriedly went to communicate with the county lord: "County lord, grandma is sick." I want to go back to Qi Mansion to serve her for a while. ”

When the county lord of Duanhui heard this, he hurriedly asked: "The old man is old, and he is hot and cold these days, and he is easy to get sick. But does it matter? ”

Rong Zheng said: "It's not clear, no matter what, I want to go back to accompany her for a while." ”

The head of Duanhui County agreed. She knew that Mrs. Lu loved this granddaughter very much, and there was no reason for her to be an aunt. Here he instructed someone to go down and select some nourishing and precious medicinal materials from the library for Rong Zheng to bring with him.

Chen, who followed Rong Zheng to visit Qi Mansion, came back the next day and reported the situation to the county lord: "The old lady's illness doesn't seem to be anything, she is taking medicine, but her spirit is slightly worse. After all, it's that old. ”

"It's not a serious illness, did grandma say when she would come back?"

Chen shook his head and said, "This grandmother didn't say anything. Looks like I'm going to stay for a while. ”

Duanhui said: "Let her go, and live as long as you like." She is a young daughter-in-law, and it is strange and lonely to live with a widow like me every day. The Qi family has many brothers and sisters, so it is good for her to live happily for a while. ”

After Rong Zheng left, the villa became even more deserted. Duanhui seems to have long been accustomed to this kind of coldness, she either makes incense every day, or follows the gardener to learn how to serve flowers and plants, living in a simple house, and living a very simple life.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Rong Zheng still hasn't come back.

Duanhui thought that Rong Zheng was just going to live for ten days, but he didn't expect that he would not come back here. I can't help but complain to the people around me: "Is our villa too deserted?" ”

Dan Tang smiled: "How can it be, there are dozens of people up and down, where is it deserted." ”

Duanhui sighed: "It's a pity that there are not two masters." I wondered if I had offended her somewhere. It always feels like she's hiding from something these days. ”

Dan Tang hurriedly said: "County Lord, you think too much, grandma shouldn't be." ”

Duan Hui smiled and didn't say anything.

Su Su came in and replied: "County Lord, Mama Lei is here and says that she wants to discuss things with the eldest grandmother, but the eldest grandmother is not at home, you see ......"

Duan Hui hurriedly said, "Please invite her to come to my side." "After all, she is her brother's nurse, and Duanhui has always respected Mama Lei.

After a while, a little girl led Mama Lei to open the curtain and walked in.

Mama Lei originally came to Rong Zheng to discuss marriage, but Rong Zheng was not at home. She faced the county lord alone, a little timid, when she entered the door, she didn't dare to look at her eyes, and saw a noble lady sitting in plain clothes and light makeup, busy frowning and saluting.

Lord Duanhui smiled very casually and said, "Mama, don't be polite, please get up!" ”

Mama Lei got up again and stood with her head down, but she was a little apprehensive in her heart. For some reason, I was a little afraid to see Duanhui. Duan Hui pointed again. Mama Lei sat down, but she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

"It's a good thing to hear my brother-in-law say that my grandmother plans to live in Bianliang for a long time."

Mama Lei replied to the words of the county lord of Duanhui with some weakness in her heart: "The youngest son will soon get married." What can the little couple do if they don't have a baby, and the old slave still wants to take care of the children for them in the future. ”

Lord Duanhui smiled softly: "You are getting older, and it is natural for you to stay with your son. I look at this girl Zisu very well, your Lei family is blessed. ”

Mama Lei hurriedly said: "It's all the ...... of the young lady of the owner" In a hurry, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed her words: "It's all grandma's kindness, and our stinky boy can get what he wants." ”

The county lord of Duanhui mentioned some very ordinary parents, plus his personality was very easy-going, and he never behaved like the county lord. After going back and forth, Mama Lei was not so nervous.

"Why did the uncle go to the barracks? He had been sick and weak since he was a child, but now he was stronger. But after all, the foundation is not good. How can I get to the barracks? ”

Duan Hui said with a smile: "This is what Junhua himself meant. If he wants to go, he can go. I fully supported him as an older sister. ”

Mama Lei is just Mu Xuan's former nurse, so naturally she has no right to ask about this matter, but she brought this matter over with two sentences of emotion in her heart.

Maybe it's because the county lord of Duanhui usually talks to few people around him, and he gradually chatted with Mama Lei. The topics of conversation ranged from Lei Bo to Mu Xuan. Later, the lord of Duanhui mentioned what happened when he was a child.

Her eyebrows were crooked. The face is very gentle. and Mama Lei said: "At that time, I was also very naughty, and I often caused my mother a headache. I often hear her complaining that she was born wrong, it should be a boy. How did she become a girl? Because of his younger brother's poor health, his mother had many restrictions on him. Everywhere you go, a lot of people follow, so it's a little quiet, but like a girl. ”

Mama Lei is Mu Xuan's nurse, and she naturally followed Mu Xuan every step of the way, and when she heard the county lord's words, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "The county lord is very cute, although the uncle is physically poor, he is also very likable, very beautiful." At the beginning, the princess felt most sorry for you. ”

"Mothers naturally feel sorry for their children. It would be great if the mother concubine was still there, look at the fact that Junhua is healthy now, and he can still go to the military camp to lead the troops to fight. I have such a daughter-in-law again, I don't know how much I like it. Duan Hui said, the expression in his eyes gradually dimmed. My brother has no regrets, but what about her. If her mother still saw her like this, she must have been distressed. Will she be as busy as the concubine to find her a guest of honor again? But what Duan Hui can conclude is that the mother concubine will never push herself like them.

Mama Lei's mind reappeared the appearance of Princess Chai, after so many years, she can still clearly remember Princess Chai's appearance, and she can even remember the princess's words and smiles. is not only because Princess Chai is very beautiful, but also because of Princess Chai's love for a pair of children and her strictness to her subordinates. She didn't dare to recall anything more profound.

Mama Lei followed Duanhui's words and said, "County Lord, you are very right. ”

Duanhui remembered her mother who had been gone for many years, and she was immersed in the memories of the past, a little difficult to extricate herself, she carefully recalled the appearance of her mother in her memory. I recalled my mother's love for their sisters and brothers, the appearance of my mother and my father Qin Se and Ming, and the clothes and jewelry that my mother liked to wear.

Duanhui always felt that his memory was missing something, and it was not so complete.

"Mama, I was just a child when my mother left, and after all these years, I don't remember some things too clearly. Over the years, I have tried to ask someone, but I can't speak. You are also an old man in the house, how much do you remember about the original incident? ”

Mama Lei suddenly felt like a drum, her face was slightly frightened, and she wanted to force her composure and said, "Remember, most of them remember." ”

"Okay, you can tell me about the year another day."

Mama Lei was like a man's back, but she couldn't sit still anymore, and she still had to say, "Yes." ”

Duan Hui smiled slightly, as warm as the spring breeze in March. Mama Lei didn't dare to face Duanhui's bright smile. Her head was buried low, and her eyes were fixed on the carpet of foreign tribute that was covered with inches on the floor.

Duanhui didn't notice the abnormality on Mama Lei's feelings. Mama Lei sat in front of her for a while, and said that she still had something to say goodbye to at home. Duanhui naturally did not force him to stay.

After Mama Lei left, Duanhui sat under the window, and looking out of the window, the tuli shelves in the yard were already crawling with green leaves. She was in a trance, and did not come back to her senses from the memories of the past.

When Chen came in, he saw this scene, and stepped forward and smiled gently: "County Lord, what are you thinking?" ”

Duanhui turned around and smiled and said, "I didn't think about anything, please sit down." Immediately, a little maid moved her chair over.

The Chen family just took a look at Mama Lei, but saw Mama Lei in a trance, and now that she saw the county lord like this, she didn't know what these two people had said before.

Lord Duanhui suddenly said: "Nurse, some of the things I remember when I was a child, but some of them can't remember anything, and I always feel that some of my memories are missing." ”

Chen smiled gently: "How many things can people remember in this life, let alone when they were young." ”

Duan Hui's mind was full of her mother's voice and appearance, but she found that she couldn't piece together the memories of her mother. Xindao shouldn't be, she was eight years old when her mother left, and only about 20 years have passed, so it's impossible to forget everything about her mother.

She suddenly asked Chen: "Nurse, the mother concubine used to live in the villa at the beginning, right?" ”

Chen's diǎn head said: "Yes, the princess likes this side of the villa. ”

"Then she has lived here for a long time, and she doesn't have any opinions on the concubine?"

Chen was a little stunned, the relationship between the princess and the concubine was not so harmonious. The first princess moved to the villa precisely because of the irreconcilability between her and the concubine. I thought it would be better to be farther away, but I didn't know that the estrangement would only get deeper and deeper. The county lord suddenly asked this, didn't she know about the conflict between the princess and the concubine's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

It has been almost twenty years since the first princess died, and now the princess has been replaced by the concubine's niece. How meaningful it is to mention the events of that year. These words went through Chen's head, and finally said slowly: "There is still the prince in the middle, what can't be reconciled." ”

King Yu has always been an idle gentleman in the memory of the county lord, and he has rarely asked about the short things of these parents. Every day is just greedy for pleasure and wasted time. Can he reconcile the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship between his mother and the concubine in the middle? The county lord expressed doubts.

"Nurse, is the relationship between the mother and the concubine not very good?"

Chen Shi smiled and said: "Where in the world is there a mother-in-law who really regards her daughter-in-law as her own daughter, and if you talk about a family, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps." It's been so long, and the county lord should let it go. ”

Duan Hui said: "I don't know if I can let go of it, but I just feel that the memory of the mother concubine is missing." I think of a lot of things when you mention that. The doubts in her heart grew bigger and bigger, but she didn't dare to mention half a word to Chen. The younger brother was suspicious of his mother's death, so Cui Shangzhou checked it for so long, and he did notice some clues. At that time, the relationship between the concubine and the mother was really bad? Could that be...... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, when would she ask Cui Shangzhou to help check again. (To be continued.) )
