Chapter 486, Gathering and Dispersing
A few days later, Anyang brought Li Chunsang to see Changsheng, she quietly looked at the magnificence of the princess's mansion, secretly frightened, and saw that Changsheng was a little excited, but she still restrained herself, and only pretended to be respectful and obedient and bowed.

Changsheng asked her to get up and looked at her quietly.
Sure enough, he is a smart person, although he is indeed no longer young, but in the end he was born with a good foundation, and he also knows how to maintain it since he was a child, and he is only about thirty years old.
But Li Chunsang, who was standing in front of him, although his hair was still black and thick, he combed an old-fashioned bun, and the few golden hairpins on his head that were very good but outdated were estimated to have been rewarded by Anyang, his skin was dull and yellow, no fat powder was applied, and the corners of his eyes were piled with fine wrinkles, with a bit of sadness.
Although the waist is still slender, but bent over and hunched back without half a point of manners, although a satin dress is brand new, it looks luxurious, but it is all old style, in front of the youthful and naturally beautiful Anyang, it is like an out-and-out old mother, no wonder she is so relieved.
Changsheng said even worse: "Aunt Li seems to have really suffered in the past few years, it is indeed a great vicissitudes, fortunately, you don't have to suffer anymore for the blessing of the county lord, I heard that you believed in Buddhism before, and in the future, you will accompany the old lady to worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures, but it is also a sustenance, and you can also pray for the county horse and the county lord sooner or later." ”
Li Chunsang naturally knew Changsheng's intentions, wiped his tears and said: "The slave maid thought that she would live in poverty and poverty in the second half of her life, but she never dreamed that she would be able to live a good life again with the mercy of the county horse and the county lord.
The golden hairpin on the head of the slave and the silk clothes on the body are all gifts from the county lord, and the heart is grateful to Dai De, who goes to the old mansion, must do a good job of filial piety for the county horse and the county lord, burn incense in the morning and evening to pray for them, and do a little bit of meager effort! ”
An Yang covered her lips and smiled, a woman who is old and decrepit and worships Buddha all year round, what else is there to worry about? can also block the mouth of Youyou to show her virtue, she even suspected that Mingche asked her to settle Aunt Li, firstly, she really couldn't bear it, and secondly, she wanted to earn a virtuous name for herself.
She achieved her goal and happily sent someone to send Aunt Li back to her ancestral home.
Li Chunsang sat in the carriage back to Wugong County, it was already spring in March, the apricot blossoms on the road were half-opened, and the willows were gently brushing the pedestrians, just like the original gentleness, but there would be no more spring in her heart.
The general is about to return to Beijing, that is her husband, she has relied on in this life, but she has to avoid him and return to the ancestral home, whether he is a sinner who has been thrown into the prison or a rich county horse now, he is the eternal general in her heart.
She took out a small bronze mirror from her baggage, carefully examined the face inside, her eyebrows and facial features were still the beautiful outlines of the year, her waist was still so slender, but her skin was rough and dark yellow, and there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
It turned out that she had grown so old, and her heart was only afraid that she would be older than a person, and she suddenly thought that it would be better to never see the general again for the rest of her life, so that he would remember her youthful beauty or charm for the rest of his life.
The last time they were together, it was when he rushed back from Jinyang before the Empress Dowager's birthday day, although he was cold-hearted, he also brought rich gifts to several concubines, and gave each of them a sum of silver privately, secretly inquired about the life in the house, and then took turns to stay in their houses.
She clearly remembered every detail of their together, so that the rest of her long and lonely life had a beautiful aftertaste, and let her remember that she had bloomed like flowers in the days like the ancient Buddha of green lanterns in the future.
There are also things given to her by Anyang and Changsheng in the car, not only with good clothes and jewelry, but also with hundreds of taels of silver tickets, as long as she keeps to herself, she will never see the general's face again, and she will never have any contact with the general, and the rest of her life will be absolutely peaceful, stable, and full of warmth and worry-free.
She is filial piety to his mother-in-law for him as a woman, she wants to retire in his ancestral house to the end, and she will be buried with him and his wife in the future, which is enough.
If it is explained that Che and Anyang are her lifelong dependence, then Zhou Changsheng, the former upbringing aunt and now Princess Dexiao, is another ray of life for her in case she is cornered, so she knows that both parties must try their best to make friends.
Thinking of the magnificence of Princess Dexiao's mansion and the wealth and honor of her immortality, she secretly sighed that fate was impermanent, turning her hands into clouds and turning her hands into rain.
She took out a letter from the jewelry box that Changsheng gave her, looked at it carefully, and explained some things that she wanted to do, she chuckled, it turned out that she still had some use, fortunately, these facts are too simple, she will definitely do a good job, and she will definitely monitor the ancestral house of the Xie family for her and Mingjing so that there will be no trouble and no trouble.
She needs the protection of Princess Dehyo.
When it was dark, Li Chunsang returned to the ancestral house of the Xie family, and the old lady sent someone to spread the word that it was late today, so let her rest well and see you tomorrow.
Looking at the courtyard that was almost exactly the same as before, and even more gorgeous and exquisite than before the raid, she was taken aback, she still remembered the horror and chaos when the house was raided that day, and thought that the Xie family must have been destroyed.
She was arranged to live in her original courtyard, and if nothing else, she would spend the rest of her life here.
Seeing the peach blossoms in the yard that are still smiling in the spring breeze, as well as the warm and comfortable house, the almost unchanged furniture, and the brand-new brocade tent bedding, my eyes suddenly turned red, and my heart really settled down, and there was no longer that sense of wandering.
The girl brought her dinner, exactly the same as before, and while serving her dinner, she said that the old things left over from her house were kept in the box, and she could clean them up when she was free, and she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, and suddenly felt that her life had been in the vicissitudes of life.
He also said that there was Miss Cheng, the distant niece of the old lady, who lived next door, and she could visit tomorrow. Li Chunsang thought of the things explained in the immortal letter, and thought to herself that it was really a coincidence, the princess asked her to pay attention to Cheng Ziyu, but she didn't expect her to live next door.
Originally, it was the guest courtyard of the Xie family, but because it was deep in the inner house, it was inconvenient for outsiders to live, Xie Mingzhu was far away from his mother's courtyard, and it was too small as the main courtyard, so it was always vacant.
After the young grandmother Lin Xinyi entered the door, she lifted her and Aunt Lu's share, probably because she thought they were an eyesore, so she begged the old lady to reward them with these two courtyards that had been idle.
Later, Bai Mei carried her aunt, and Aunt Qiu also came in, she and Bai Mei lived in the same courtyard, Aunt Lu and Aunt Qiu lived in the same yard, because Bai Mei had been with Jinyang for many years, she had been living alone in a small courtyard, and now Aunt Lu and Aunt Qiu have found another way out, but that courtyard has become Miss Cousin Cheng Ziyu's residence, is it appropriate for a Cousin to live in her aunt's yard?
Thinking of the immortal letter saying that the man of the Ziyuju clan was convicted, and the female relatives were exiled to Mobei, she was sold by her mother to a merchant as a concubine, and she suffered a lot before returning to the capital, and later found the princess's mansion, she discussed with Mingjing and sent it to the old lady, and there was no other information.
I secretly guessed in my heart that a young and beautiful female prisoner who had no support for her was not an ordinary hardship, and this Miss Cheng was afraid that she would have to hurry up with the Xie family in the future.
The old lady allocated a total of two people to serve her, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and a rough envoy in her forties, both of whom were born people, and they looked very regular, enough for her to use, a small courtyard, three masters and servants, if nothing else, this life may be like this.
She quickly finished her supper and bathed to rest, she had been living in fear since the day of the raid, and although there was little hope for her life now, she was also calm and peaceful, and she wanted to have a good rest, and she was too tired to sit in the carriage for a day.
But the little girl came in and said that Miss Cheng next door was visiting, Li Chunsang was stunned, this is too anxious, right? Fortunately, the two have met a few times before, and although they are not acquainted, they are not considered to be raw.
The guest was welcomed in, it was a homely dress but still beautiful Cheng Ziyu, the whole body exuded a faint fragrance, although it was no longer a pure and delicate girl, but it added a bit of mature and charming charm, a strand of hair bent down on the side of the face, there was a bit of dust under the light.
Thinking that it is not safe to keep to herself, no wonder Princess Dexiao is not at ease. Cheng Ziyu smiled lightly, greeted her very thoughtfully, sat for a while and left, as if she was the master of the Xie family, not like an orphan girl who was dependent on the Xie family after being convicted.
Early the next morning, Cheng Ziyu came over to ask her to go with her to say goodbye to the old lady, so the two went together, but met the second lady Lin Xinhui on the way, Li Chunsang hurriedly saluted respectfully, but Lin Xinhui glared at her coldly and snorted softly from her nostrils.
Li Chunsang knew her temperament, but she didn't care, and was about to move on, but found that Lin Xinhui's eyes were like knives looking directly at Cheng Ziyu, who was wearing a spring shirt, but Cheng Ziyu bowed her head and frowned, very well-behaved and docile, and suddenly had a feeling of breaking something.
No wonder Lin Xinhui is so unkind to herself, it turned out to be a disaster, it seems that she should pay attention to it in the future, so as to find out what to send to the princess, she still has a few reliable people in the ancestral house, just give the letter to them.
She hurried to the Crane House Hall and let the two of them shoot and shoot behind her. Ruigu, whose face was becoming more and more vicissitudes, greeted her, and looked at Hejutang, which was almost the same as before, and suddenly felt that the raid on the house was like a nightmare.
She bowed respectfully, and the old lady was not as shrewd and majestic as before, but with a kind and kind look, as if she had forgotten what had been done to send them away with a hard heart.
looked at her a few times and said with pity: "It's good that you can come back safely, after such an incident, everyone has suffered, fortunately, the emperor's grace we can still gather together, it is a blessing to come back safely, you can live in peace, everything is the same as before."
Come and accompany my wife to copy the scriptures and worship the Buddha, your handwriting is good, and the Buddhist scriptures are also copied with special care, so you should accumulate blessings for yourself, where are the slaves not thoughtful, you can tell Ruigu. ”
Li Chunsang felt sad in his heart, his eyes turned red, he choked up and thanked him, and as soon as he stood up, Lin Xinhui came in angrily, and Ming Qing and Cheng Ziyu, who almost stepped in together, had an indescribable ambiguity between their eyes and demeanor. (To be continued.) )
