Yuzhou City is still the same as when it passed by that day.

Because of his stay here, Li De'an found the carriage and horse shop familiarly, negotiated the price, and went to the dock to welcome the master to board the car.

From Yuzhou to the north, it is a hurry, and it will take some time.

At this time, it was already in the moon, and the pedestrians on the official road were in a hurry, and there were many cars and horses, and the line was slower.

On this day, Laba was still on the way.

Rao is like this, Manniang also borrowed the place of the post station, cooked some Laba porridge, and everyone shared a little, which was also a good luck.

There is also a soup kitchen in Jinzhou this year, although Chu Weilin is not in Jinzhou, she is still relieved to have Deng Ping's family in charge.

In the next few days, it snowed one after another, and the official road was covered with snow, making it more and more difficult to walk.

When Chu Weilin and his party arrived in the capital, it was already more than half of the wax moon.

Worried about Mrs. Zhang's body and bones, but the rules and etiquette could not be messed up, Chu Weilin went straight back to Shiqing Hutong.

Tu Shi took the letter and was waiting for her.

Chu Weilin was dusty, and her whole body was tired, Tu Shi couldn't help but sigh secretly when she saw it in her eyes.

If his own son's daughter-in-law rushed back to Beijing in such a hurry, Tu would have to complain a few words, but Chu Weilin and her were not that kind of relationship, Tu still had the attitude that more things were better than less: "It's been a hard journey, I know you miss your grandmother, but you also have to take care of yourself." It's still early today, if you can't wait, change into clean clothes and go to Chu Mansion to have a look, I will send someone to the ancestral house to talk, and go over to talk to the ancestor later. ”

Chu Weilin is also satisfied with this arrangement. After thanking Tu, he got up and went back to clean up.

Chang Yu came to see her late, and stood by the door to probe her brain: "The New Year's gift sent back by my sister-in-law, the jade bracelet I gave me is really beautiful, crystal clear, and when I go to my relatives during the New Year, I will bring that, and everyone will envy me." ”

Chu Weilin couldn't help but smile when she heard this, Chang Yuwan's heart was so simple. I got beautiful jewelry and clothes. can make her rejoice for a long time, and giving her a bracelet is also her favorite.

During the New Year's gift, Chu Weilin gave Chang Yuyao a chess book, and Chang Yuyao loves to play chess. His chess skills are also outstanding among his peers.

"The game. How does Uncle Seven look? Chu Weilin asked.

Chang Yuwan pursed his lips: "Sister-in-law, don't mention it." Ever since I received the game, I have been pondering it back and forth in the study every day, and I have seen it. He's going crazy, even when he eats. ”

That's what I like.

Seeing that Chu Weilin was packing up and going out, Chang Yuwan didn't bother.

The carriage went to Chu Mansion, and Chu Weilin opened the curtain slightly and glanced outside.

The capital is still familiar, approaching the New Year, with a strong New Year's flavor.

The closer she got to Chu Mansion, the more nervous Chu Weilin's heart became, and she didn't know what was going on with Old Lady Zhang's condition.

Li De'an's family looked at it in his eyes and persuaded: "It shouldn't be in the way, grandma, the Chang family and the Chu family are in-laws, if the old lady really has any situation, the wife will not have a little bit of talk there." ”

This sentence makes sense.

Chu Weilin was a little relieved.

On the second door, Chu Weixiu came to greet her in person.

Chu Weilin stepped on the car, and when she saw Chu Weixiu, she couldn't help but be a little stunned, and said in a low voice after a while: "Yes, the eldest sister is back to Beijing." ”

The voice was not heavy, but Chu Weixiu heard it, sighed in his heart, and said, "Yes, I have finally returned to Beijing, so I can welcome you here." ”

Brother Lin and Brother Yan were carried out by the two nurses, Chu Weixiu kissed Brother Lin, and hugged Brother Yan over: "I finally saw our Brother Yan." ”

After all, the place at the Hanging Flower Gate is not a place to speak, and the sisters go to Yishun Hall together.

Chu Weilin asked about Mrs. Zhang's body: "How is grandmother's condition?" ”

The smile on Chu Weixiu's face froze, and he shook his head slightly: "It's not good." ”

Rao is Chu Weilin was mentally prepared, and when she saw the bedridden Mrs. Zhang, she was still bluffed.

Old Lady Zhang's cheeks were deeply sunken, and the white hair that was originally white but did not lose her spirit was yellowed a lot, and her old age could not be covered up at all.

Chu Weilin took a few steps forward, stood beside Mrs. Zhang's bed, her heart was sour, and she called "grandmother".

Old Lady Zhang slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw that it was Chu Weilin, her brows furrowed: "Why are you here?" Isn't it in the Golden State? ”

Chu Weilin opened his mouth to say, but He Shi, who was standing on the side, coughed lightly and gave Chu Weilin a look, Chu Weilin understood, and said: "Brother Yan has been added this year, and the ancestor has not seen him yet, so he asked me to take my two children back to Beijing for the New Year, and it happened to be on the family tree." ”

Mrs. Zhang listened to this reason, and nodded again and again: "This is an important matter." ”

Mrs. Zhang hadn't seen Brother Yan either, and Chu Weilin was ordering someone to pick up her brother, but Mrs. Zhang interrupted her dissatisfiedly: "What are you tossing?" My brother is still young, his body is expensive, I am a sick old woman, he must not come to me. ”

This is because I am afraid of being sick to the child, and at this point, Chu Weilin can't resist Mrs. Zhang, so she won't mention it anymore.

Mrs. Zhang had been sick for a long time, her spirit was not good, she said a few words, and she was sleepy again, so Chu Weilin had to quit.

He and Chu Weixiu came out together.

He Shi suppressed his voice and said, "Thanks to your cleverness, if you knew that your father wrote to you, the old lady would definitely be to blame." ”

In Mrs. Zhang's heart, a married woman can't be too willful, Jinzhou and the capital are too far away, if Chu Weilin leaves her husband behind because of her illness, Mrs. Zhang will not be happy.

Chu Weilin turned her head and glanced at the main room, her mood was heavy, and she asked, "Why is a good person so sick?" What did the doctor say? ”

"The doctor said that if it doesn't improve, it's going to be this winter." After He finished speaking, he pulled Chu Weilin and walked a few steps outside Yishun Hall, and said, "This is not the place to talk, go to my house, and I will tell you carefully." ”

Chu Weilin bowed her head and answered, and when she went to see Chu Zhengfu, she went to He's place.

Since the old lady Dazhang fell ill, Chu Zhengfu has been resting at Aunt Jiang's place.

When asked why he returned to Beijing. Chu Weilin wanted to prevaricate with the same reason, but asked Chu Zhengfu to interrupt.

"Don't lie to me, your father wrote to you, right?" Chu Zhengfu snorted, "That's it, since I'm back, I won't talk about that." ”

Chu Zhengfu asked some things about the boundary of Jiangnan, Chu Weilin answered everything he knew, Chu Zhengfu's expression was deep, and he said for a while: "Jiangnan, now it is a land of right and wrong." But. Yu Yun's child is clever. Knowing that Mingzhe protects himself, he doesn't have to worry about him. ”

Chu Weilin listened to the affairs of officialdom with an open mind, but she couldn't interject. Chu Zhengfu analyzed a lot. Every word makes sense. She remembered it with her heart and waited to tell Chang Yuyun later.

After Chu Zhengfu finished instructing, he let Chu Weilin leave.

In the courtyard of Western Italy. He invited Chu Weilin to sit down, and let people guard the middle room.

Chu Weixiu took care of himself and added tea and sighed: "The cause is me." ”

As Chu Weilin expected, after Mrs. Zhang knew that Chu Weiyao had passed away, she felt very uncomfortable, and she was worried about Chu Weixiu's condition, so she unconsciously contracted some wind cold.

When Chu Weixiu returned to the capital with Brother Yuan and Brother Tong, Mrs. Zhang was sad to see her baby granddaughter as if she had changed into a different person.

The grandparents and grandchildren hugged and cried for a day, and Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but say, how could Wei Xiu, who married out of a peerless elegance at that time, become like this? After knowing that it was Ha Furong who was to blame, Mrs. Zhang was angry and her condition worsened.

"Since then, it has not been very good, the doctor said, this is a heart disease, and the medicine stone is useless." Speaking of these, Chu Weixiu felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his words were intermittent, "This is not the most important ......"

Chu Weilin raised her eyebrows, what would be the most important thing?

Chu Weixiu glanced at He Shi unconsciously, He Shi nodded heavily, and said, "Wei Xiu doesn't know what to say, just let me tell you."

At the end of October, one day, the old lady suddenly said that she heard a movement in the East Cross Courtyard.

East Cross Courtyard, do you remember Verin? Since the burning, I have made people repair a little, and I haven't done it carefully, to be honest, in the end, two people were burned to death, that is, repaired, who is willing to live? Besides, the old lady is taboo, so I won't be boring, so let the East Cross Courtyard be so deserted.

All these years of desertion, no one will go there during the day, let alone at night? But the old lady said that she heard the voice.

This matter has not been dealt with well, the old lady is old, it is not strange to hear the mistake, if you follow her words, promise her to check carefully, there will be no things to do. Unfortunately......

The old lady said it herself, she said that she always felt that she had nothing to do with Aunt Xia. This is also her old man's heart disease, Aunt Xia disappeared that day, the old lady held her breath, to be honest, this capital is big, small is actually very small, with the old lady's ability, how can it be that for so many years Aunt Xia can't find her whereabouts? It's just to give the fifth uncle and five siblings a decent look, after all, it's his aunt.

The fifth uncle is an upright person, and he even replied directly, saying yes, saying that Aunt Xia was gone half a year ago, and everyone was sent up the mountain.

It's good, it's a bee's nest.

If Aunt Xia is still here, how can she go back to Yishun Hall to pretend to be a ghost? That is, Aunt Xia is gone, which makes the old lady worried.

The old lady always felt that Aunt Xia came back to the East Cross Hospital, probably because she was frightened, and she couldn't afford to get sick. ”

Chu Weilin was dumbfounded when she heard this, she didn't expect that this was related to Aunt Xia, and Aunt Xia was already dead.

Old things, right or wrong, the parties are clear in their hearts, Mrs. Zhang suffered a secret loss in the matter of Manniang, after knowing the truth, the methods used by Aunt Xia are already gentle to Chu Weilin, and Aunt Xia's escape from the house is another big mistake.

Mrs. Zhang should not have a weak heart, she will feel uncomfortable or even afraid, just because people who believe in Buddhism fear ghosts and gods.

Before Chu Lunyu dispersed, He asked Chu Weixiu to accompany Chu Weilin to the long room.

The maids in Zhangrong Courtyard have changed a lot, and Chu Weilin looks very strange at a glance.

Old lady Wen has been in bed for a long time, but Chu Weilin feels that she looks more energetic than Old Lady Zhang.

"You kid, you're coming back, you're coming back, and you're not prepared at all." Wen Old Lady was kind, held Chu Weilin's hand, and looked at it carefully, "Although I am a little tired, I don't seem to have a good foundation, and I see that I have a smooth life in Jinzhou." Well, the husband and wife are smooth, and we are at ease as elders. ”

Chu Weilin smiled and nodded.

Old Lady Wen patted Chu Weilin's hand: "How is your grandmother today?" I wanted to go and see her, but I couldn't stand the toss all these years, and I didn't know what it was like to walk in bed every day. I thought that with such a body, I would definitely walk in front of her, but now...... The doctor said, "I still have a few years, but your grandmother is ...... Hey, the world is unpredictable! ”

Looking at life and death, older people have the thoughts of older people, and it is by no means something that Chu Weilin can be relieved by a few words of understatement, and she will not say those false.

Old lady Wen also understood that this topic was a little heavier, so she simply didn't mention it and called Liuyu in.

As soon as Liuyu saw and heard the old lady, her eyes turned a little red.

Mrs. Wen curled the corners of her lips: "You kid, why do you have to cry at every turn?" Come over and let the old woman take a look. ”

Ruyu obediently knelt down by the bed.

Old lady Wen looked at Liuyu with a loving gaze: "You are like this now, I am relieved, follow Wei Lin, you will not suffer, the marriage event, I have also set it for you, wait for the promise over there, you will marry." ”

Hu Yan has not yet been selected for talent.

The county test and the government test were frightening, but when they arrived at the hospital test, they didn't pass.

Chu Weilin was not surprised by this.

Although Hu Yan has some talent in reading, after all, he was born in Zhuangzi, and he has not studied systematically and completely like other scholars who want to take the path of the imperial examination.

When the list was released, Hu Yan was a little disappointed, but he was a transparent person, how could he not understand these truths? Soon he calmed down and returned to his studies.

Chu Lunyu loves talent, and because of the relationship between Mrs. Wen, he will also help Hu Yan take a look at the article and give some guidance, more than a year, Hu Yan's progress has been remarkable, and it should not be a problem to get a show.

Liuyu has always known this, and she also understands that this is the wish of the old lady, so she bowed her head and said, "Don't worry, the slave remembers your words." ”

Coming out of Zhangrong Courtyard, Chu Weilin went to find Ye Yushu.

Ye Yushu's daughter is seven days younger than Brother Yan, her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to her mother, and when she saw Chu Weilin, she grinned.

Chu Weilin was busy teasing her, but Ye Yushu was close to Brother Yan and Brother Lin, and with the children present, the atmosphere was a lot more lively.

I haven't seen it for a long time, and I can't finish talking, but unfortunately the sky is gradually getting darker, and I can only give up if I am reluctant.

Chu Weilin originally wanted to see Chu Lunyu before leaving, but she knew that Chu Lunyu had a meeting today, so she had no choice but to leave the Chu family and go to the Changfu mansion. (To be continued.) )
