"I'm going to Jianghang tomorrow, there are many mountain bandits over there, and the local government has suppressed it several times, and the fourth brother has handed me a few letters, and Xie Yu is here, I have to go over in person." Shen Pingcheng hugged the Zhao family tightly, and he was going to leave for a few days, he was reluctant in his heart.

When he was in White Horse City, there was no war in Qinguan, and he spent a long time with his wife and children, but after returning to Jiangbei, he was busy and free.

Zhao Shi paused, and Fang said: "The mountain bandits are all lifeless, you must remember to be careful, that Lan'er's marriage will be agreed upon when you come back, but I am afraid that my mother will ......."

As he spoke, he propped up half of his body with his elbows, and pulled Shen Pingcheng to get up as well.

There was still some time before the unitary time, and it was not appropriate for them to lie in bed.

The brilliance outside the courtyard was still bright, and Zhao personally dressed Shen Pingcheng, only to hear a deep voice in his ears: "Mother shouldn't have the heart to care about this." ”

"Huh?" Zhao didn't understand the meaning of Shen Pingcheng's words, how could the old lady not have the mind, Shen Hui was going to get married, and now it was time to prepare for Shen Lan's marriage, and if it was delayed for another two years, Shen Lan would become an old girl.

She felt that although Shen Lan admitted her as a mother, there was a gap for more than ten years, and there was still a layer of estrangement in the middle.

It was because she was too obsessed at the beginning, and she left her daughter regardless of it, and she couldn't complain about others.

Shen Pingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, tightened his grip on Zhao's arm, and his voice was soft: "It's okay, you just wait for me to come back." ”

The dark lacquer-colored eyes were covered with a bit of urgency and struggle, and what lingered in his mind was what the old lady's old face said to him: "Right now, although you are a second-grade official, Prince Ying's mansion is staring at you tightly, our Shen family." is not a meritorious family, nor is it a century-old family, and now he has reached this position by relying on three points of luck. Although the city lord of White Horse City is grateful to God, he has nothing to do with the court, and he can't help you for half a point, but Sister Chan doesn't care about the past suspicions. is still willing to stoop to be a concubine. Her brother served in the capital and was a well-known figure, so he accepted her. Beneficial and harmless. ”

Zhao didn't know what Shen Pingcheng was thinking, and she was relieved when she got his words.

Shen Pingcheng left early the next morning.

And Shen Hui's return to Ning was set at the full moon, after marrying Shen Hui. Yang became much more settled.

Greeting the old lady every day as usual is a rule, and there are few words.

And the Zhao family is because of Shen Pingcheng. I haven't gone to Gu's house to visit Mrs. Gu for a long time, she is a woman who has no opinions, and things will wait and wait.

did not wait for Shen Pingcheng to come back, but waited for the news of the marriage between the Qi family and the Hu family.

After the old lady knew. was furious, and relied on Shen Lan's unassuming head.

For the loss of the backing of the Qi family, he is angry.

The Fukuhua temple is full of flowers. It's not as vibrant and vibrant as it seems on the surface.

Mama Gui stood under the verandah that flew three eaves of the house. Dressed decently, a snail silver needle was inserted into the high bun, and the flower hairpin swayed between walking.

"You all give me a little smarter, go to the kitchen to urge, is the rock sugar bird's nest soup ready, the old lady will wake up immediately, delay the effort, and ask for your dog's life!" She was angry with the old lady, so she was angry with these maids, swept her eyes, and frowned: "Who is on duty today!" Look at the dust in the yard, why don't you go clean it again! ”

After a while, a little maid came out of the back room, walking towards Mama Gui with small steps, trembling and not daring to raise her eyes.

When Mama Gui saw it, she thought that she was on duty in the courtyard today, so she scolded coldly: "What is the pestle doing here, don't go quickly!" ”

"Mama... Slave... Slave maid is not..."Lian Xin said intermittently, she was a little maid in the back room, she had never stepped into the front yard, if it wasn't for Mama Liu who had helped her, she wouldn't want to come over, she had already heard that Mama Gui was very powerful, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came out, she bumped into it.

"Nothing! It's not good to say anything! Do you want me to send someone to rub your tongue for you? ”

Lianxin was frightened and hurriedly said: "The chef sent a slave and maid over, saying that the rock candy ran out." ”

"Running out?!" As soon as Mama Gui was about to get angry, she thought that now the big and small affairs in the house are all taken care of by the second lady, and what is lacking in this house is reported by the mother-in-law, and then she and the second lady get the money to buy, and the mother-in-law in charge is Mama Liu, she frowned; "When you run out, you won't replace it with anything else! I can't even do this little thing, get out! ”

Especially this old lady is still angry.

After about half a cup of tea, Mama Gui sent someone to urge her, and Fang brought the rock sugar bird's nest soup to the old lady.

The old lady likes sweets, she will taste it, and the furrow between her foreheads bulges again: "This tastes wrong today." ”

Mama Gui hurriedly bowed down and said, "The maid from the back kitchen came over and said that the rock candy had run out, and the cook had found another replacement." ”

"How does this kitchen do things! Who is the mother-in-law in charge? The old lady asked.

"This ......" Mama Gui hesitated for a long time before she swallowed her mouth and said, "Old lady, it's... Qing, it's Mama Liu. ”

Hearing this, the old lady's brows tightened.

"She? Call her here! "She hadn't seen Mama Liu for a long time.

Mama Gui was stunned, how could the old lady remember to ask Mama Liu what she said, she was usually punished directly, she carried an uneasy heart, and went down to order Mama Liu to be brought over.

As soon as the maid went down, the curtain was raised again, and in came a woman in a dark gray coarse dress, she was the same age as Mama Gui, but from the face, it seemed that she was ten years older than Mama Gui.

She walked slowly, bowed her head and knelt down in front of the old lady.

The old lady carefully looked at the people in front of her, and only then did she determine that she was indeed the maid who ran by her side in the past, and her original anger was half gone: "This bowl of rock sugar bird's nest soup is made of rock sugar?" ”

"Back to the old lady, it's not rock sugar, it's a small amount of sugar." Her voice was steady, as if she hadn't come to confess.

Mama Gui served the old lady with an expression that I was not mistaken, and looked at Mama Liu who was kneeling on the ground condescendingly: "Since you know that there is no rock candy, why don't you buy it in time, could it be that the second lady didn't give you the silver?" ”

Mama Liu bent her body, and then raised her eyes. Although her face is sallow and wrinkled, her eyes are not colored, and she said: "Mama Gui, there is no shortage of rock candy in the kitchen." ”

Mama Gui was stunned, and after reacting, she only felt that this was a heavenly opportunity. I can't imagine that so many years have passed. Instead of growing, Mama Liu became even more stupid, and Mama Liu couldn't resist her back then. It is still the same, she plucked her voice and said: "Think you can get through the confusion with the sugar? Are you an old lady to coax?! Old lady, Mama Liu knowingly committed a crime, which is a great disrespect to you! Today is just a small rock candy. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. I don't know what it will be like to be bold, and those maids and wives in the future won't all take the opportunity to drill! ”

"You ......" Mama Liu's face turned red, and she suppressed her voice more and more: "Mama Gui is really the same as back then, she can say black to white." What yours says is mine! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mama Gui pulled up her sleeves, stepped forward and slapped her, and then bowed down and said, "Old lady." Such a lowly slave continued to stay in Fuhua Temple. I'm afraid that it will disturb the whole Fuhua Academy, she used to be ......"

The tea cup was heavily buckled on the ebony table, making a bang, and Mama Gui saw that the old lady's face was pale, and she was dignified, so she quickly knelt on the ground, raised her hand heavily, and fell gently, hitting her mouth: "Look at the slave's cheap mouth, it should be beaten, it should be beaten." ”

Mama Gui was frightened, for fear that the old lady would listen to the slut's words, but found that the old lady's gaze bypassed her and fell on Mama Liu in the rear.

"Do you know what's wrong with granulated sugar for rock sugar?" The old lady's eyes were cold, and her voice was flat, and it was precisely because of this that people were frightened to hear.

Lianxin in the backyard was more anxious than Mama Liu, she paced in the courtyard in a panic, for so long, Mama Liu has not come back, nothing will really happen, and she is worried that her lying will make the old lady drive out of the house, her anxious eyes are red.

I was annoyed that I was dizzy, so I would follow Hu.

In the Fuhua Courtyard, which has a low atmosphere, it is so quiet that you can even hear the sound of breathing.

"The slave doesn't know." Mama Liu buried her head and continued: "The slave and maid don't know that the original worry is also at fault, the slave and the maid remember that you often make dental diseases, when you are young, you have pain and sleeplessness at night, the more sweets you eat, the easier it is to re-offend, the slave and the maid are afraid that the old lady will commit it again, so she makes her own opinion, let the cook put a small amount of sugar instead, the sweetness is not as heavy as before, if you think the slave is at fault, the slave and the maid will remember it and will not do it again." ”

Mama Liu's words were said very gently, like a small bridge flowing water, and little by little they hit the tip of the old lady's heart.

The old lady was used to dealing with hypocrisy, and she forgot what it was like to be really worried.

For a while, I remembered that when I was young, Mama Liu often admonished her by her side, what should be eaten and what should not be eaten.

She paused for a long time, unable to speak, and asked Mama Liu to retreat.

When Mama Gui heard Mama Liu's words, she was afraid that the old lady would be soft-hearted, and when she saw that the old lady sent Mama Liu out without reward or punishment, although she was a little angry, she was also relieved.

She didn't dare to get up, so she knelt down and crawled beside the old lady: "Qingmei has always been a talker, so it's better to transfer her to the front yard and let her come over to talk to you." ”

The old lady's face sank, glanced at her, and drank the bowl of rock sugar bird's nest soup again.

At this time, the light gauze curtain outside the door was lifted, welcoming a warm breeze.

A maid dressed in a peach-colored slab hurriedly broke into the house and shouted, "Old lady, old lady! ”

When the old lady saw the person coming clearly, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Danzhu? Dan Zhu didn't care about saluting, and cried anxiously: "You can go with the slave and maid, our old lady is seriously ill and can't last a few days." She said that the letter was too slow, and she was afraid that she would not be able to see you, so she asked the slave to run by herself. ”

The old lady's body trembled slightly, she covered the Buddha beads on her wrist empty, she had a deep relationship with this sister since she was a child, and after listening to Danzhu's words, her heart ached.

Hurriedly instructed Fangcao: "Prepare the car, prepare the car!" ”

"The carriage is waiting outside." Dan Zhu said urgently.

The old lady nodded: "Mama Gui, go to Jinlin Courtyard, and let the second girl and the third girl go with me outside the second gate immediately." ”

brought Shen Rong and Shen Lan in order to let Sister Chan get along with them first.

When Shen Rong and Shen Lan got the letter, they were still taking a nap in the house, but Fangcao was urging in a hurry, and the two of them didn't even have time to say anything about Zhao, so they were taken outside the second gate.

Shen Lan was a little flustered, pulled Shen Rong tightly, and asked Fangcao, "Where are you going?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, but she just served the old lady's will."

Sure enough, when I arrived at the second gate, the old lady had already arrived.

When the old lady saw them coming, she said directly, "Get in the car." ”

The two of them couldn't even bring their personal maids.

The carriage rushed out from the corner gate on the west side of the Shen Mansion, bumpy all the way.

Shen Rong, who had calmed down, looked at the old lady leaning on the soft couch slightly, and suddenly saw Danzhu sitting in the corner, Danzhu... When the Wang family lived in the Shen Mansion, he brought one of the personal maidservants.

Could it be that they are going to Jianghang Palace?

In the last life, the Wang family was taken over by the old lady after the death of the old lady Wang.

What does it mean to go to Wang's house in person now.

Only the two sisters were brought with them, Shen Rong's black and white eyes were dignified.

She asked in surprise, "Grandmother, where are we going?" Why is it just me and my sister? What about the other sisters? ”

"You haven't met your aunt and grandmother yet, and your grandmother is taking you to meet your aunt and grandmother." The old lady breathed a few sighs of relief before she was able to speak.

How could her sister go before her, the old lady's face was moved, and she couldn't help but think of Mama Liu's words again, and secretly remembered in her heart that she should pay more attention to her body in the future, and only after living a long time can she think about other things.

Shen Rong nodded stupidly.

Mrs. Wang, her aunt and grandmother, she has indeed never seen it, this time it is so urgent, it must be that Mrs. Wang is critically ill.

Afterwards...... The Wang family will return to the Shen Mansion with them.

And the mother didn't know anything at this time.

She was close to Shen Lan, and her sister didn't know anything.

And she, as if she wanted to have a big secret in her heart, couldn't tell others, and she couldn't breathe.

Wang's! Wang's! That woman as beautiful as a femme fatale!

She is different from Zhao, gentle, charming, pitiful, ruthless, she is not lacking.

At the beginning, she was deceived by her gentleness, and she was about to die of her relatives, and she was sent to the fence, feeling that her situation was very pitiful.

Who knows, it didn't take long for her to become her father's concubine.

The carriage goes all the way south, once it crosses the south wind slope, it is Jianghang, the south wind slope is a watershed, and the place south of the south wind slope is very warm.

And Jianghang is on the edge of the south wind slope, so the temperature difference with Yong'an City is acceptable, and there is no difference between the world.

I hurried overnight and arrived in Jianghang on the afternoon of the second day.

After another half an hour, the carriage slowly stopped, Danzhu lifted the green curtain, and saw that the white silk and white lanterns had not yet been hung outside the house, so he turned around with confidence and said easily: "Old lady, we have arrived." ”

At this time, the corner gate was wide open, and the wheel creaked and creaked, and then stopped again, and it was considered to have arrived at the palace. (To be continued) R655
