The boat traveled for nearly three months and finally arrived in Cangdu, when it was close to the Spring Festival. Unlike the last time Yun Zheng and I entered Beijing, that time because we had to inspect the industries along the river, the boat stopped and stopped, and was delayed all the way. This time, Fu Ling returned to his hometown, except for a stop at the state capital wharf along the river when he had to replenish the supplies on the ship, and the rest of the trip was not delayed. The procession to welcome the coffin was not much worse than the funeral time, it was a few days earlier that the flying pigeon passed a message to inform Yun De of the arrival of the date, Yun De's reply said that everything was ready, and when he arrived, it was true, and everything was carried out in an orderly and orderly manner. The burial period calculated by Si Tiantai is the nineteenth day of the first month of the next year, so the old man's coffin has to be stopped in the house when he comes back, and he can only be buried after the Spring Festival.

Because there are funerals to prepare, this year's Spring Festival can be simple. After the funeral, it is a year of worry. I was tired for half a year, and I couldn't take advantage of the mourning to take a good rest, and I had to sort out the development ideas of "Yunshang Fang". "Yunshang Fang" has been a cousin Gong Yun Chongling as a deacon, his business methods and concepts are very different from mine, I can not go to various places to inspect the industry during the Ding worry, and the ancient traffic conditions can not get the shopkeeper from all over the country to come together to train, leave the shop alone, so at present can only take the Cangdu head office as a pilot to reform the business model. I can't always count on An Yuanxi for these things, he will return to Beijing to take up his post after the expiration of his worry, and the business matters can only fall on my shoulders in the future. Fortunately, now I only need to put my energy on "Yunshang Fang", and I am not afraid to send a right-hand man for the time being, and I can find it slowly while An Yuanxi is still there. This matter is a whole year, and I have to prepare to return to Beijing to give Nuo'er the title and An Yuanxi to work, so that the work for two consecutive years is full.

I sighed, if it weren't for Nuo'er to be canonized, I wouldn't want to work so hard, but the holy decree is there, and I can't disobey it. Fortunately, now that the Hou Mansion finally does not pose any threat to the emperor, I don't have to tremble and worry when I think of returning to Beijing as before. When I returned to Jingshi, it was almost the Qingming Festival, and I just went to Yuxue Mountain to sweep Yun Zheng's tomb, and I could also live in Aoxue Mountain Villa for a while. I have received the news of the emperor's wedding on the road before, I heard that the emperor set up Zhou Wanyun, the daughter of the Runan Zhou family, as the queen, but unexpectedly, this Miss Zhou and Xiang Rong are the same show girls, and she is the same as the emperor on the card but has not been promoted for a long time, I didn't expect to be the queen. Thinking about it again, it is not surprising that the emperor has just taken back his power, and he is unwilling to cultivate a relative who holds military power like the Feng family and a powerful minister who forms a party like King Jing. Although the Runan Zhou family is also a century-old family, it is a generation of scholars, and the family has produced five prime ministers, each of whom is a good beginning and a good end, and no one was dismissed by the emperor because of his friends, and he is very good at the golden mean. The daughter of such a family is the most suitable to be the queen. The emperor's wedding, the whole world celebrates, the harem is also promoted, although the original popular competitor Yun Guifei was defeated, but I heard that the emperor is not fading with her, and she was also promoted to Zhaoyi, and now she is favored by the six palaces. Sometimes I think that if I hadn't ruined Xiangrong's future in front of the Queen Mother, maybe she might not be able to sit on the throne of the queen.

The Tianma Xingjin family agreed to the proposal of the Hou Mansion, and when An Yuanxi's worries expired, they could prepare for the happy event. Originally, the sudden death of the old man and the separation of the Yun family would have a slight impact on An Yuanxi's marriage, but fortunately, An Yuanxi got another official position, and the Jin family married their daughter, which was not a loss. Since I had doubts about An Yuanxi, there was an invisible wall between us, I didn't deliberately keep my distance from him, but he seemed to be very busy, on the ship, he was often locked in his cabin, I asked him to investigate Chu Yan's life and death, it seemed that it really stumped him and caught him off, right? I know that he has been investigating the matter of the bamboo purple clay pot, and I have not pressed him to give me an answer, plus I am also busy settling the accounts of the "Yunshang Fang", so there is almost no chance to talk to An Yuanxi along the way.

The Hou Mansion has Yunde who came back in advance to take care of it, and the check-in was smooth. After settling the old man's coffin and packing everything up, I called Yun De: "Is the old lady still living there and entering the courtyard?" You took me to see her. ”

The old lady is Yun Zheng's mother Bai Yujin, after the old man passed away, her identity was naturally upgraded, I noticed that Yun De and they began to call me "madam", and they didn't add the word "less" before they realized this. Bai Yujin was locked up in her own yard after going crazy, I didn't have much affection for her, but after learning about those things back then, I felt that she was really a poor woman. Anyway, she is Yun Zheng's mother in the end, and I should be filial to her.

"Yes." Yunde nodded and led the way ahead for me. As I walked, I asked, "Is the old lady in good health?" Is the disease improving? ”

"The old lady is in good health, and the disease is more relaxed than before." Yun Dedao, thought about it, and said, "It's much gentler, and I'm no longer afraid of people, I always hide in the house, but I still often recognize the wrong person, she always recognizes the young master as the young master." ”

I stopped and frowned: "Does Young Rong often go to see the old lady?" "The mother and son have been living in the Cangdu Hou Mansion, and although Yun Zheng punished Young Rong back then, he did not let his mother and son move away. After I married Yun Zheng and went to Beijing, I lived in the "Lifang Courtyard", and I didn't see the mother and son at all, and I didn't entangle much.

"Not often." Yun De said in a low voice, "But Mrs. Nian always takes him with her when she goes to see the old lady." ”

Understood, I nodded, knowing in my heart. Stepping into the old lady's courtyard, I saw that the yard was clean and refreshing, and the people saluted when they saw me, and stepped into the house, the house was also very tidy, there was no peculiar smell, and I was very satisfied, and it seemed that no one treated her lightly because of the old lady's madness. There were other people in the old lady's room, it was Young Rong's mother and son, and at this time, Young Rong's hand was being held in the old lady's hand, and she said: "Zheng'er has lost weight again, is it very painful to have a routine diagnosis this month?" ”

My body froze. Seeing me, Young Rong's mother and son quickly stood up, and when the old lady saw me, she frowned: "Who are you?" Why did you come in without reporting? ”

She was older than when I saw her two years ago, but she looked pretty good in all shape and spirits. I walked up to her and blessed: "Mother-in-law." ”

She looked at me in surprise: "Why do you call me mother-in-law?" Am I old? ”

I smiled slightly: "Mother-in-law, I am Yun Zheng's wife, your daughter-in-law." ”

"Zheng'er, have you married a daughter-in-law? When? The old lady looked at Young Rong innocently, and I only felt that a flock of crows flew overhead, crying and laughing. Looking at Young Shaorong, seeing that he had been drooping his eyelids since he came in, I said lightly, "You guys go out first." ”

Young Rong pulled his hand out of the old lady's hand, and in front of me, he didn't dare to think that it was Yun Zheng, so he only said: "Auntie, Shaorong retires." ”

"Zheng'er, Zheng'er......" The old lady saw him go out and made a fuss. I hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Mother-in-law, Yun Zheng is in the capital, he is not Yun Zheng, it is your nephew Young Rong." ”

In fact, if I change someone and let the old lady mistake her for Yun Zheng like this, I will also let her, but that person is young and young, and I feel extremely uncomfortable. He was castrated by Yun Zheng for trying to rape me, even if he was misrecognized, he didn't deserve it. Young Rong must have hated me very much in his heart, and I noticed the trace of hatred and resentment in his eyes when he left. Living under the same roof with such a person, I am afraid that it will inevitably give birth to right and wrong in the future, and I decided in my heart at the moment that it would be better to find an opportunity to invite his mother and son out of the Hou Mansion to live alone.

"Zheng'er in the capital?" The old lady looked at me blankly, "Are you really Zheng'er's daughter-in-law?" ”

"I am." I sat down next to her and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, Yun Zheng can't come back from dealing with things in Beijing, let me come back to see you first." "I saw that although she was confused, she was not shrunk in the corner screaming like she had when she had just gone mad, and no one was allowed to come close, and I was a little at ease, I should have let the old lady see her grandson, but I had to see if her present mental condition would frighten No'er.

"Oh." When the old lady heard this, she didn't make a fuss, "Who is taking care of him?" Zheng'er is not in good health, don't let him get tired......"

My heart was sour: "Mother-in-law, Yun Zheng's illness has been cured, and there will be no need for routine diagnosis in the future." ”

"Really?" The old lady turned to look at me and said happily, "Really? ”

"Really......" My tears almost fell, "Yun Zheng will not suffer from illness in the future." ”
