"Tuk Tuk"

"Who?" Zhou's mother answered the door.

"Mother Yan, is Miss here?" It's Yan's mother.

Zhou's mother hurriedly opened the door and welcomed her in: "In, in." It's in the house! You sit down for a moment, and I'll go and invite the young lady out. ”

After Chu Qingruo came out, Yan's mother gave her a salute. After sitting down, he took out a letter and handed it to her.

She took the letter suspiciously and looked at it, which read: "Ruo'er personally opened", which was her grandmother's handwriting.

She looked up at Yan's mother, who wiped her eyes and said:

"This was written when the old lady was seriously ill before you came back, thinking that she would not be able to survive it, and was afraid that she would not see you for the last time.

Later, when you came back, the old lady's health improved, and she did not give it to you again. I found it when I was sorting out the old lady's relics these days, and I secretly hid it, and I have to send it to the young lady today. ”

Chu Qingruo's eyes turned red: "Thank you, Mother Yan." Then he opened the old lady's letter and read it:

Ruo'er My Grandson:

It's been a few years since you left home, and I don't know if everything is safe in another country? Every time I think of my grandson floating alone outside, with no one to take care of him, my heart is very uneasy.

I'm already at a high level this year, and I'm afraid the deadline is approaching. Therefore, I write this letter to ask you to say a few words, and I hope that my grandson will read it carefully and keep it in mind.

After I left, you can find Yan's mother to ask for two copper spoons, and go to the north of the capital Papaya Lane, there is a pair of stone lions at the door of the courtyard. There is a copper box under the bed in the side room of the hospital. There are more than a number of real estate deeds, and a number of silver tickets on the shop, all of which are your name. This is to keep it with you for his sunrise marriage.

Your mother Li also left a dowry, the family has been recorded, if he marries at sunrise, the Cao family is embarrassed by you, you can invite the patriarch to break up. If the Cao clan is still dissatisfied, you will go to court with him, don't be afraid, don't give up. If he is unfortunate in marriage, he can also spend the rest of his life with this wealth.

Grandmother and you have nothing to ask for, and hope that you will have a smooth and healthy life, but only one of you can rest assured.

Yan's mother has been a brother and sister to me since she was a child, and she has never been married in her life, so that she has never been lonely in her life. I am about to go, but I still have concerns in my heart, I hope that my grandson will treat her well, serve her to the end of his life, and have a Jinlan friendship with me, and my remaining wishes are enough.

After the three things are recounted, I hope you keep it in mind, your father is also getting old, even if there are thousands of things, there are no parents in the world. I hope you will be more considerate.

Life and death are common, I have experienced more than 80 spring and autumn, and I have seen all the flowers and autumn scenery in the world, and my grandchildren do not have to be too sad.

The book is in a hurry and does not say anything, and the book is not full of words.

The love is long and the paper is short, and the words are not exhausted and then cherished.

Grandmother word

After reading the letter, Chu Qingruo had mixed feelings in his heart. My grandmother knew that she was critically ill, and she left letters for her.

From setting up a rich dowry for her to when he got married, to how to deal with Cao Xiulian if she made it difficult. or what to do with the unsatisfactory marriage arranged by Cao Xiulian for herself. Her grandmother arranged everything for her.

Between the lines, I can't hide the deep love of protecting the calf, which makes people respect and extremely warm.

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, putting away the letter, Chu Qingruo said: "Mother Yan, I will tell the executive's family tomorrow that you will live in Jiexiangyuan with peace of mind in the future, and I will serve you well." ”

Yan's mother was shocked: "This can't be helped, this can't be helped, Miss is willing to leave me, an old woman to serve you, it is already a great blessing for slaves, where can I afford the word Miss to serve." It's really a torment for the old slave. With that, he took out two copper keys from his arms and handed them to Chu Qingruo.

"One is the key to the courtyard, and the other slave doesn't know what to do, only that the old lady carries it with her every day, and never pretends to be someone else's hand." Yan's mother said.

Chu Qingruo took the key and thanked him repeatedly, but Yan's mother just pushed back.

That night, there was a thin cry in the room of Jiexiangyuan, which was painful and euphemistic......

The next day, Chu Qingruo went to the executive's house early in the morning to give instructions, and soon Yan's mother moved into Jiexiangyuan with a small burden.

Mother Zhou is not happy, if you want to say that she is okay to serve Miss, but the huge garden has to take care of things, so naturally Yan's mother is more adept. Now that she is here, she can finally free herself from the trivial chores and concentrate on taking care of the young lady.

After settling Yan's mother, Chu Qingruo took Kang Zi and Han Ling'er to Papaya Lane in the south of the city. Found the courtyard where there were a pair of stone lions at the door, as mentioned in the letter. She opened the door and took out the copper box, and after checking the silver deed ticket that her grandmother had left her, she put it back in its place.

When the three of them were leaving, a tall and slender scholar came out of the opposite courtyard. Xu was a little surprised to see that no one had ever entered or exited Chu Qingruo's courtyard, and today someone suddenly came out of it.

The scholar looked at them in surprise, and Chu Qingruo also felt that he was a little kind, so he carefully looked at this person, who was fair-skinned and tall, with deep eyes and a high nose, and was extraordinary. Although he was wearing an ordinary scholarly robe, warm as jade, he had a restrained nobility and a domineering spirit that had been in a high position for a long time. His smile was kind and kind, without the slightest sharpness.

The scholar greeted him with a smile: "Girl, you are also here in the capital!" ”

Chu Qingruo: "...... You are? ”

Han Ling'er and Kang Zi looked at each other, the girl knew this person?

Seeing that she couldn't remember herself, the scholar was a little embarrassed: "Girl, do you remember Fanyin Temple?" ”

Chu Qingruo suddenly realized, "Oh, it turned out to be you!" ”

The scholar finally smiled: "It is precisely in the next that I didn't expect to meet the girl again in the capital thousands of miles away, it's really fate!" ”

Chu Qingruo smiled politely: "It's really a coincidence, you left in a hurry that day, and I didn't have time to thank my son." ”

The scholar waved his hand modestly, "The girl is polite, when you go out, you should help each other, not to mention such a trivial matter." It is a blessing to be fortunate enough to know a girl. ”

"Where to speak, Childe is humble." I have a girl's house, and it is inconvenient to have too much friendship with a man who meets in Pingshui, so it's better to go back early. "If the son doesn't mind, the little girl still has something to do, and she wants to go first."

The scholar nodded, "It's okay, I'll talk about it another day." Then he saluted the three of them, turned and walked away.

When the three of them returned to Jiexiangyuan, they were a little stunned when they saw Fu Lingyun, Lu Yiqing, Cheng Yujiao and others there.

Lu Yiqing explained with a smile that he and Cheng Yujiao both wanted to come to see her, and the two met at the door.

Fu Lingyun brought news of Cao Xiulian, and Cheng Yujiao suggested that everyone listen to it together, and then sort it out and see what to do.

Everyone raised their hands in agreement.

In order to show himself in front of Han Ling'er, Lian Feng was the first to speak: "I'll come, I'll say it first." ”

Ignoring everyone's contemptuous eyes, Lian Feng said: "I went to ask the escort people, and they said that on the day of the escort out of the capital, a person who claimed to be Cao Fu came over and invited them to drink in a roadside tavern. After drinking, they actually found that the person had been transferred, but they didn't dare to report it for fear of being punished by the master.

And the man gave them two hundred taels of silver for each person, and they were wrong. Based on their description, I asked people to draw a portrait of the person who came, and sent another face to Cao Mansion to inquire, but I found that there was no such person at all. ”

"Yes, I don't think it's from Cao Mansion, you think Cao Xiulian was just sent to his hometown to be placed under house arrest, then Cao Yonglian is just an academician, not to mention that he can't take out so much silver to save his daughter, even if he takes it out, there is no need to spend this silver to transfer people out, and it's not to kill the head." The honest Yasuko said.

Everyone agreed, Xu Yong continued: "I also went to inquire, Cao Xiulian except for her mother who went to Cao Liu's Mansion that night, and the other Zhuangzi shops under her name have not seen her, I don't think that woman will leave the capital so easily, and now I have arranged an unannounced visit to the streets full of people, but there is no news for the time being." ”

Fu Lingyun pondered for a moment: "Well, Uncle Xu, you go and discuss with Director Zhou of the Criminal Department tomorrow to see if our people can cooperate with them in the open and dark search." ”

Xu Yong responded.

Commander Yuan also said: "I have also set up a secret sentry near Cao's Mansion, as long as she appears, I will immediately keep an eye on her and find out where she lives." ”

Chu Qingruo suddenly asked, "Have you found out where the two medicines Cao Xiulian Jiqing Huan Xi San and Na Jing Huang came from?" ”

Lian Feng said: "No, few people have heard of these two medicines on the market, I really don't know where Cao Xiulian came from, we all underestimated her, and we didn't think that this woman had some way." ”

Fu Lingyun: "Then check, don't let go of this line if you bite it, I'm afraid that there will be a big fish behind this Cao Xiulian." ”

Yan's mother listened for a long time, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said: "I remember that Cao Xiulian seems to have a nephew who lives somewhere in the capital, and I heard that the nephew was removed from the family, so no one in the Liu family has anything to do with him, and I don't know if Cao Xiulian will hide there there." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Yan's mother if she could remember where the nephew lived, but she couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

Everyone regretted it, Chu Qingruo hurriedly comforted everyone: "It's okay, things that you can't remember all of a sudden sometimes suddenly come to mind, Mother Yan, you just have to think slowly." ”

Han Ling'er remembered another thing, and suddenly exclaimed, "Miss, I think of someone!" ”

Everyone hurriedly asked who it was, and Han Ling'er said, "Miss, do you remember the Miss Liu you met at Li Shilang's house?" ”

Chu Qingruo wondered: "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

Han Ling'er said, "On the second day of the old lady's death, I saw a carriage parked at the gate of Chu Mansion, and the people in the carriage secretly lifted the curtain to take a look, I hurriedly glimpsed and saw that the person in the carriage was Liu Yuqin that day!" ”
