Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no clue about the search for the "Jingzhen" monk.

Seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Tong Shuang was still unconscious, Lu's stomach was getting bigger and bigger, and his spirit was a little weak.

On this day, General Weiyuan's wife took He Yongchan to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to visit Tong Shuang on the hospital bed, and saw that Tong Xue was carrying a starling with him, almost inseparable, and couldn't help asking.

The Lu family knew that this starling was sent by Li Yan, and saw that Tong Xue liked him very much, and secretly wondered in his heart whether his daughter was just beginning to fall in love, and what other thoughts did he have about Li Yan.

However, she knocked on the side a few times earlier, and every time she mentioned the Korean Mansion, Tong Xue's face became a little ugly, and when she said Li Yan's name, Tong Xue obviously looked impatient.

Tong Xue was a little arrogant before, but her mouth was extremely sweet, and she looked like she was smiling when she saw everyone.

Lu had never seen her so clearly express her dislike for anyone.

Although Tong Shuang fell down the stairs in Dafu Temple and fell unconscious, only Li Yan, an outsider, was there at that time, but Tong Xue made it clear that Tong Shuang was not pushed down by Li Yan, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had to thank Li Yan for giving them the news.

Therefore, the Lu family didn't know where Tong Xue's dislike for Li Yan came from.

And knowing that his daughter has never had feelings for a handsome young man, Lu felt very complicated in his heart, both relieved and regretful.

This time, General Weiyuan's wife asked about this starling, and Lu only said that Tong Xue suddenly became interested in birds and liked raising starlings.

If she let her mother know that this starling was a gift from the prince of Korea, General Weiyuan's wife might throw the bird out casually.

Tong Xue also knew that her grandmother had never dealt with the Korean Duchess, so she obediently followed Lu's words and lifted the starling to General Weiyuan's wife, "Come, call grandmother." ”

"Grandmother." The little starling said in his unique voice very cooperatively.

General Weiyuan's wife suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I've never seen such a smart bird!" ”

Several people sat around Tong Shuang for a while, and when they returned to the main hall, General Weiyuan's wife said with a straight face: "Your brother, I will return to Beijing in about a month." ”

Lu's face was first happy, and then he said with a somewhat sentimental expression: "But is it for the matter of the eldest princess of Yuanjiang recruiting a son-in-law?" ”

Tong Xue's uncle Lu Guishuo has been with General Weiyuan in the north all these years, except for the New Year's holidays, instead of General Weiyuan to return to Beijing to visit relatives, these years rarely return to Beijing in ordinary times.

This time, Lu Guishuo, despite General Weiyuan's opposition, insisted on going to the table and asked him to return to Beijing, most likely for the purpose of recruiting a son-in-law for the eldest princess of Yuanjiang.

The eldest princess of Yuanjiang is the youngest daughter of the first emperor, and she is not a brother and sister of the same mother, but she is deeply favored by the emperor.

She is eighteen years old and has never been married, supposedly because she has promised her that she will be able to decide her own marriage.

And the eldest princess of Yuanjiang is said to be unparalleled in beauty, and she is a flamboyant and free and easy person, I don't know how many young talents she has fascinated over the years, but she has never heard of who she has a soft spot for.

It turned out that her uncle was also one of the thousands of talents who were poisoned by her.

Tong Xue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

After the death of her mother in her previous life, she felt sorry for herself for a long time, self-pity and self-isolation, and rarely paid attention to the outside world.

However, the uncle finally married the eldest princess who was not the eldest princess.

The only impression she had was that the princess died suddenly due to illness less than a year after she was still in Shangfuma, which caused the world to sigh several times.

When Tong Xue was feeling the truth, she suddenly heard General Weiyuan's wife gritting her teeth and saying: "I don't know how this kid followed the devil and was desperate for that princess, how many girls I have shown him over the years, but none of them have a liking!" I see that he has a lot of meaning that he will not marry! I don't look at the princess who is high, but I have ever put him in my eyes! This little bunny is me off! ”

"Cai Lan, take your girls down first." The next topics of the mother and daughter are not suitable for a little girl of Tong Xue's age.

In Lu's eyes, Tong Xue is only ten years old this year after all, and she has not yet opened her mind about love, and some words are not convenient to say in front of her.

Tong Xue was very curious about the conversation between her grandmother and her mother.

"I don't!" She pressed her back tightly against the back of the chair, "Ah Jin hasn't heard the news of his uncle for a long time, and I'm very worried, mother, can you let Ah Jin listen to it?" Ah Jin promises to be obedient and not to interject! ”

These days, she has helped the Lu family to manage things, she is shrewd and capable, and she rarely shows such a little daughter.

Lu Shi glanced at her a little helplessly.

"Later, my mother will tell you about my uncle, and you will go out to play first."

Tong Xue pouted and shook her head vigorously.

"Mother, take a look!" The Lu family had no choice, so he turned to General Weiyuan's wife for help.

She has never been a strict mother, and she can't be harsh with her children.

"Ah Jin, why don't you take Aunt He to the yard for a walk, you want to know what is going on with your uncle, just ask Aunt He if it's okay?" He Yongchan, who had been sitting quietly and listening with a smile since the beginning, suddenly spoke.

Tong Xue raised her eyes and looked at He Yongchan, only to see her soft eyebrows and eyes with a faint smile.

Tong Xue didn't know why, keenly felt that today's He Yongchan was a little different from the past, but she couldn't say where the difference came from.

"Good!" She smiled and got up and walked towards He Yongchan.

Nearly four months have passed since He Yongchan fell into the water, and now she has abandoned her wheelchair, switched to crutches to support her body, and slowly walked again on her legs.

"Ah Jin came to help Aunt He. Aunt He, slow down. Tong Xue put the starling on her shoulder and picked up He Yongchan's arm on the side of the injured leg.

"Ah Jin, Aunt He's leg is injured, you kid has no strength, don't mess around, take your hand away!" Seeing this, Lu Shi hurriedly scolded in a low voice.

Tong Xue lowered her head, looking like she had done something wrong, "Aunt He, I'm sorry, Ah Jin didn't mean it." Actually, she did it on purpose.

He Yongchan touched her head and said with a smile: "It's okay." Come, help Aunt He, Aunt He also wants to try, can Ah Jin's support replace this crutch! ”

"You've just started walking, you can't rush it!" General Weiyuan's wife saw He Yongchan's intention to get out of the crutches and hurriedly persuaded.

"Mother-in-law, you are worried, I can do it! You talk first, I'll go out with Ah Jin. Ah Jin, let's go. He Yongchan said, holding a cane in one hand and Tong Xue in the other, and stepped away from her left leg first.

Tong Xue suddenly found that He Yongchan looked gentle and kind, but she was extremely hard inside.

She hurriedly followed up.

The sun was shining outside.

The two walked a hundred or so steps under the porch, through the courtyard, to the shaded pavilion.

The girls served fruits and herbal tea, and stood aside to fan the two.

"Aunt He, my uncle came back to participate in the son-in-law ring of the eldest princess of Yuanjiang? Does he want to be a colt? Tong Xue picked up a chilled grape, peeled it, put it in her mouth, and asked with her cheeks puffed.

He Yongchan was peeling a grape and stretched out her hand to feed her, when she heard her question, the smiling expression on her face briefly stiffened.

Tong Xue wondered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she took the grapes with a smile and thanked her sweetly.

"What does the eldest princess of Yuanjiang look like? Is it better looking than my mother and Aunt He? ”

He Yongchan's first question has not yet been answered, and Tong Xue can't wait to throw out the second question.

This time, He Yongchan was hanging her head and peeling the grape skin, until a grape was peeled to the ground, she raised her eyes, looked at Tong Xue with a smile and said, "The princess is extremely beautiful." ”

Tong Xue still didn't give up, "I think my mother and Aunt He are the most beautiful women in the world, no matter how beautiful the princess is, she can't be more beautiful than Aunt He and her mother." ”

When He Yongchan heard this, she raised her hands and stroked her cheeks, and said with a slightly bitter smile: "Aunt He is already old, and the princess is in her prime." ”
