Rong Yi just hugged her and comforted her softly, and didn't ask what was in the box, thinking that it was just a thought left by the Queen Mother to her daughter-in-law, and she didn't care.

Yang Lan hugged the box tightly, tears flowed slowly, and it took a long time to calm down.

The Queen Mother is gone, the whole country has to mourn, you can't marry within a year, you can't get pregnant during the mourning period, etc., the Rong family has also entered a state of mourning, and you are not allowed to drink and make trouble when you are idle, and you are not allowed to go to the guests, even the restaurant is not allowed to go, and even the head is not allowed to be hanged.

But Yang Lan has to keep filial piety for three years, whether it is the queen mother or the old lady, she is her dearest, which is a must.

Originally, I planned to take the eldest girl to the banquet after the beginning of spring, but now I don't have to go, I have to wait a year later, but at that time, I can only take the old lady to go, and she is not good to go out.

Yang Lan has never gone out since she attended the funerals of the wives she knew, and even the housekeeper director was wilted, as if her soul had been drained.

It's not easy to be in the Yang family and Princess Hui, she is the saddest when the Queen Mother leaves, and she has to support her body to prepare for the separation of the Yang Mansion, although everyone has not said that they will split up now, but they will definitely have to live their own lives after a year, and they will really have to split up after three years.

These preparations must be done well in advance, although the sister-in-law is capable but has a low seniority, and some things are inconvenient to speak, these can only be done by Princess Hehui herself, and she must also count the treasury and public accounts, and when the time comes, she must give her brother and concubine a clear account account.

Yang Lan couldn't help these things, and after the old lady died, she went back to her mother's house to visit her mother and comfort her. My mother is also getting old these years. The sideburns also have gray hair. It made her sad.

Fortunately, the two sisters-in-law are very filial, helping their mother do what they can, so that her mother can relax, during this time, the Yang family and the men of the Rong family are busy to death, and they don't know what they are discussing.

The defense of the capital has obviously increased, and his father Yang Xu was transferred to the commander of the Kyoto Forbidden Army two years ago to take charge of the defense of the capital, which can also be seen that the emperor still trusts his father in the Yang family as always. It made her breathe a sigh of relief, but she still remembered it in her heart when she thought about it.

Today, Tete went back to the Yang family again, first went to see his mother and sisters-in-law, and Princess Hui saw that her daughter's emaciated chin was pointed, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "You have to take care of yourself, Ziqing and their children are still young, and they still need your care and care, and your grandmother also wants you to be happy and worry-free." ”

Yang Lan's nose was sour, and she nodded silently. He poured his mother a cup of warm goat's milk, "I'm here to see you." I'm afraid you'll think too much, have you discussed the matter of separating the family? ”

He Hui exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to vent the depression in his chest, "I told your second uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle, they all sent letters, the old lady left suddenly, they all have to come back to keep filial piety, except for your father who was given by the emperor and did not have to step down, everyone else is already on the way back, in the past three years, our family must keep to ourselves and concentrate on guarding the country and filial piety." ”

Yang Lan was silent for a moment and asked, "Did my father tell you whether our family should go back to our hometown to guard filial piety?" ”

He Hui raised his eyebrows and was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "But what have you heard?" We don't have any close relatives in our hometown, I can't go back or not, I haven't made up my mind yet, I'm going to wait for your father to ask when he's free, the main thing is that your father is now a Praetorian Guard so he can't leave, and I can't go if he doesn't go, otherwise who will take care of your father. ”

Yang Lan paused for a moment before saying: "I'm afraid that the Queen Mother is gone, and the capital will take the opportunity to cause chaos, which is a bit unfounded." She smiled wryly.

He Hui nodded, "You're right, I originally wanted to let your second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle go back to see the family's sacrificial fields and clan studies or something, and they also mentioned this matter in the letter, but they still have to discuss it in detail, and it won't be so fast to divide it, at least after keeping filial piety, now it's just waiting for them to come back and talk about the separation, but they won't move out so quickly, it's too ugly to look like it." ”

Yang Lan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Xiao Wu, how many of them are small?" ”

"Practicing martial arts in the courtyard."

"Oh, I'll go see this stinky boy and tell him about filial piety again, so that he won't be troubled if he is naughty and doing something embarrassing." Yang Lan made an excuse to go to see her son, and had a vague idea in her heart.

He Hui tilted his head, "Cut, just say that you want your son, and make excuses." ”

Yang Lan just smiled and went to the outer courtyard to see her son, she was a little absent-minded along the way, thinking about it again and again, and couldn't make up her mind.

When I arrived in the outer courtyard, I saw Xiao Wu and Brother Yu practicing martial arts, Brother Yu watched a few of them correct their posture, Xiao Wu's face was full of sweat, but he practiced very seriously.

Seeing her coming, Brother Yu immediately left them and said, "Let you rest for a while, a stick of incense, and continue to practice for a while." ”

"Auntie, why are you here, do you want to stay for dinner at noon? Let my mother get you a few of your favorite dishes, Xiao Wu is obedient, obedient, don't worry if I look at you. ”

Brother Yu was taken by Yang Lan for a while when he was a child, and he kissed her very closely, and when he saw her coming, his eyebrows fluttered happily, and his face was full of joy.

Yang Lan sat on a stool, looking at the group of children surrounding her, her heart was full of hope, they were the greatest hope, no matter what, she had to keep them.

"Mother, have you come to see me? I'm very well-behaved, I'm not naughty, I write seriously, I read and practice martial arts seriously. Xiao Wu blinked his black eyes, and the expression of my clothes is very good, you can praise me.

Yang Lan touched his son's head, looked at him seriously, and said, "Did your grandfather tell you what is the most important thing for a general?" ”

Xiao Wu thought that his mother was going to test him, so he straightened up and replied seriously: "The heart of a brave man, my grandfather said, no matter what you do, you have a brave heart, fearless, intelligence is secondary, if you are only smart but not brave, you can only be a coward." He read what he understood.

Brother Yu frowned, thoughtfully, thinking that something was wrong with my aunt today, was something wrong? It shouldn't be, everything outside is the responsibility of men, and it won't make my aunt worry like this, saying that my brother-in-law loves my aunt as an eyeball, how can I let her have an accident? I haven't heard anything about it.

Yang Lan nodded, touched her son's head with pride on her face, "Xiao Wu is very well-behaved and serious, my mother knows it, your cousin told me." Mother is proud of you, Xiao Wu, you have to protect your cousin and cousin, right? You're a man, you want to protect your family, don't you? ”

Brother Yu's brows became tighter and tighter, he was older than Brother Yu, and the tall man was already a head taller than Yang Lan when he stood up, at this time he felt that his aunt must have something on his mind, and it was a big deal.

Xiao Wu nodded again and again and raised his neck slightly, his small chest was raised high, and he looked like he was already an adult.

Yang Lan smiled and took out two golden locks from her sleeve, the golden locks were quite big, and handed the two golden locks to Brother Yu and Xiao Wu, "This is given to you by your aunt, you know the secret passage of the Yang family, right?" I remember that when you were a child, you often sneaked in to play, did Xiao Wu sneak in? There was a smile in her eyes, but there was a slight sorrow between her eyebrows.

Brother Yu quietly took the golden lock, nodded and smiled: "Remember, I took Xiao Wu to the secret passage last year, but unfortunately I didn't go far, and my grandmother closed the passage." "What a pity.

Yang Lan nodded, as if it was a memory, "I also went in when I was young, I sneaked in alone, the eldest brother and the second brother didn't take me to play, I thought I was in the way, I ran in by myself when I was angry, and I didn't say a word, I accidentally touched the mechanism on the left wall, opened the passage, and almost walked out of the city, and then Mama Yue found me, and the two brothers were punished for this matter and entered the ancestral hall to kneel, and I was also punished for not being allowed to go out of the house for a month, and I had to copy Buddhist scriptures, At that time, I felt so painful and unbearable. Hehehe. She smiled as she spoke.

Brother Yu looked at Yang Lan with suspicious eyes, how could he think that there was something in his words, what did it mean to go out of the city?

Yang Lan calmly looked back at Brother Yu, took a deep breath and helped him put the golden lock on his body, "These two golden locks are the last gift from the Queen Mother, no matter what, you must take them with you, you can't take them off, Brother Yu, you are the son-in-law, the eldest grandson, there are responsibilities that you must bear, one day you will understand, many things are helpless, but you have to protect the children of the Yang family, do what you should do, what a man must do." As she spoke, tears fell uncontrollably.

Brother Yu was a little panicked, and clumsily helped her wipe her tears, "Auntie, don't cry, I'll just wear it, I promise not to take it off, and I won't take it off when I sleep and take a shower, isn't this okay?" Xiao Wu, did you hear that? ”

Xiao Wu nodded again and again, snuggling in Yang Lan's arms, "Mother, don't cry, I'll blow it for you." He snorted vigorously and hoped that his mother would stop crying.

Yang Lan smiled and nodded, wiped her tears, looked at the two of them, stared deeply, hugged Brother Yu, and her voice was inaudible, "I'm sorry, don't blame me." "My heart hurts like a knife.

Brother Yu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what was wrong with his aunt for a while? Why do you keep saying things he doesn't understand, is something wrong? Go back and ask your grandfather.

After Yang Lan controlled her emotions, she explained again, "I still have something to do today, so I won't eat, Xiao Wu remember not to take it off, don't throw it away, remember to be a man, protect your relatives." ”

Xiao Wu nodded stupidly, tilted his head and looked confused, not understanding what happened to his mother today? Did you take the wrong medicine?

"Aren't you going to stay for dinner? Mother is ready for the meal. Brother Yu hurriedly said.

"I still have something to do, I have to go back quickly, only my mother-in-law is at home, I don't worry." Yang Lan smiled bitterly and turned her head away, looking back at Brother Yu and Xiao Wu step by step, tears rippling.

No matter how sluggish Xiao Wu was, he felt that his mother was very wrong today, so he grabbed his cousin, turned around his head and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with my mother?" Did you take the wrong medicine? (To be continued......)
