The sickbed lingered for several days, and the emperor sent people to condole, bringing a lot of medicinal supplements along the way.

"The Prime Minister's illness has been delayed for almost a month, isn't it okay?" The eunuch who came to offer condolences stood outside the door and whispered to Sun Hu.

Sun Hu said helplessly, "My father's body has always been weak, and when he was on a cruise a few days ago, he accidentally fell into the lake in the garden. For so many days, it is almost inseparable from bitter medicine. Father-in-law, you have to excuse my family in front of the emperor. With that, Sun Hu stuffed a piece of silver with white flowers into the eunuch's hand.

When the eunuch saw Sun Hu like this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he nodded again and again, "This is nature, this is nature, the prime minister is sick and working, how can his body get better so quickly?" ”

Sun Hu smiled, politely said a few more polite words, and sent the condolence eunuch away.

I tore apart the fold in my hand, and then looked at Sun Hu who pushed the door in with an ordinary face.

"Sent away?"

Sun Hu nodded as he bent down to pick up my torn fold, he glanced at the fold twice, and said, "Why is Xiangye so annoyed?" ”

Sun Hu's question reminded me of what I had just seen on the recital, and I lowered my face and turned my head away in disgust.

"These greedy and unsatisfied things, the true appearance has warned them many times, and now not only do they not know how to restrain themselves, but they have intensified! Very good!"

"What is Xiangye going to do with them?" Sun Hu also doesn't like these people who always use their original merits to blackmail them at every turn, "If it is not handled properly, I am afraid it will chill my people." ”

This is also the reason why I have not been ruthless to them, but now they not only openly robbed the people's daughters, privately occupied the people's land, and accepted bribes, but also embezzled most of the silver taels in many counties and provinces in the northwest for disaster relief. Now the people are complaining and miserable, but they can't even deliver a complaint to the county government.

"You go down first, and think about this matter later." I rubbed my brow and leaned back on the head of the bed tiredly.

Sun Hu saw that I was not energetic, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and left the bedroom.

"The time has not yet come...... I sighed as I looked up at the sparrows outside the window.

In the evening, the housekeeper came to report that Mrs. Wei Yinghou's Mansion was here. I quickly tidied up my outfit, opened the window to let out the smell of medicine in the room, and lit a calming sandalwood stick.

When Mrs. Hou pushed the door open, I happened to be sitting next to the bookcase and picked up a book.

"Mother." I put down the book, got up, and went up to untie my mother's cloak, led her to sit down again, and reached out to pour her a cup of tea.

Ning Su pressed my hand to pour tea, and her red eyes were full of tears.

"Mother?" I hesitated.

"Don't pour tea, take a good rest." Ning Su sat me down, choked up, "You are always like this, no matter what grievances you have suffered, you have resisted by yourself, and you have never been willing to tell your mother." ”

"Mother...... "I was a little afraid to look at my mother's eyes.

Who revealed the news to his mother? When I find it, I'm going to let that person peel off his skin.

"With such a serious injury, you don't want to tell your father, and you should tell your mother? No matter how much a mother is a wasted person, she can take good care of her daughter!" Ning Su said, and tears couldn't help but flow out.

Seeing my mother's tears, I was a little at a loss, and full of self-blame came to my heart.

I got up and knelt directly in front of my mother.

"The child is not filial, and the mother is so tired that she is worried."

"That's what you are! That's how you are!" Ning Su was so angry that he brushed the teacup in his hand to the ground, "Shen Qingzhi, I'm your mother, do you know?" ”

In the face of my mother's accusation, I could only bow my head.

I've lost family affection for too long, and I'm not used to it, and I don't dare to get used to this so-called family affection, even if I know that my mother will be willing to give up everything for me.

"Qingzhi ......" Ning Su knelt down and hugged me, breaking down like "I'm a useless mother......"

After hesitating, I reached out and hugged my mother.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"In a child's heart, you have always been the most important person for a child."

Ning Su burst into tears, and she hugged me tightly, her face full of tears.

I gently patted her on the back to soothe her.

I have always known the self-blame in my mother's heart, she wants to love me so much, but after so many years of estrangement, she can't find the gap of the years, and I can't find it.

What's more, the mother already has a person in her heart.

"Come, it's cold on the ground, come and sit on it." Ning Su was able to restrain herself a little, and she hurriedly helped me up, "You are still infected with the wind chill now, but you can't catch a cold anymore." ”

"The child is in good health, and it is out of the way." I didn't dare to let my mother help me, but as soon as my mother helped me, I immediately took advantage of the situation to support her, and then stood up.

"What does that mean?" The mother reprimanded, "Although you are young, you can't toss your body so blindly, can you pay it back in the future?" ”

Knowing that I had said the wrong thing, I quickly pretended to be taught to put my mother at ease.

"Shall I let people in and clean up?" I changed the subject.

Ning Su stopped me, "Don't worry, I made soup for you for my mother, you taste it first." With that, Ning Su called in the direction of the door, "Bring the soup in." ”

The door was immediately opened, and Xiao Ju walked in with the soup. She put the soup in front of me and said, "Madame got up before dawn today and went to the kitchen to make soup for the young master. This is made by Madame, you try it first, if not, ......"

"That's all I need." I interrupted her, "I'll give you a drink." ”

"Hey." Ning Su was not at ease, "My mother's craftsmanship is very poor, you are not in good health, don't be reluctant, or ......"

I didn't wait for my mother to finish speaking, but poured a bowl of soup and drank it.

After a few sips, I looked at my mother and said with a smile, "How can the delicious food be as good as my mother's cooking?" ”

Xiao Ju looked at me, then at Ning Su, and retreated with a smile.

Her mother's eyes turned red again, and she hurriedly turned her head and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

"Mother, did the ancestor let you out of the house?" I poured a bowl of soup again and asked casually.

Ning Su nodded and said, "Although the ancestor has been strict with you since he was a child, he still loves you in his heart." She knew that you were sick, and immediately asked Weiniang to come to see you. ”

"Really?" I sneered in my heart, "So, did the ancestor tell you the news that I was sick?" ”

Ning Su said, "This is natural, for the mother of a deep house woman, you don't send someone to tell the mother, how can the mother know these news?" By the way, the ancestor also asked Wei Niang to bring you a number of precious medicinal materials, and Wei Niang has ordered someone to hand over to your scholar, you have to remember to eat some to replenish your body. ”

"Got it, mother." I should go down.

Sure enough, this old ancestor really didn't want to throw away my piece of fat, and tried every means to insert someone in me.

"Qingzhi, there is one thing, I want to ask you for my mother." Ning Su spoke.

"What's the matter with my mother, just say it."

Ning Su said, "You go back...... Are you going to live here forever? ”

I paused and said, "The Hou Mansion is too noisy, and the children here can handle official business with peace of mind." ”

"But it's your home after all." Ning Su was a little anxious, "What's more, this place is too far away from the Hou Mansion, how can I rest assured that my mother?" ”

"This is the emperor's mansion." I tried to dispel her concerns, "The garrison is no worse than the Hou Mansion, you can rest assured." ”

"But...... "Ning Su still wanted to persuade me, but it was obvious that I didn't have the slightest intention of going back to live in my eyes, so I stopped.

"It's getting late, mother, are you going to rest here today?" I said.

Ning Su shook her head, "I'm a daughter-in-law who has passed the door, how can I stay outside?" ”

"Did the ancestor tell you to go back today?" I lowered my eyes and asked.

Ning Su didn't speak.

"Okay." I raised my eyes and smiled, "In this case, the child will definitely send his mother to the door of Wei Yinghou's mansion." ”

"No, it's cold outside." Ning Su immediately denied it.

"Then mother, you will stay here tonight, and the child will send you back tomorrow." I said.

"This ......" Although I know that I am a temper that does what I say, Ning Su is still due to it.

"No matter when the mother wants to go back, the child must be sent." I said.

"You...... Ning Su sighed, "I can't twist you, I'm here for my mother to live here today." ”

Seeing that my mother had compromised, I immediately instructed Wang Jie outside the door, "Xiao Jie, let the people in the Hou Mansion go back first, Madame is here tonight." ”

Wang Jie took the order and went down to inform.

Ning Su wanted to laugh a little, and she reached out to wipe the remaining soup stains from the corners of her mouth for me.

The candlelight swayed in the wind, and I looked at my mother's face, and my eyes moved.

It's rare to be alone with my mother, and we've been talking for a long time. The next day, my mother and I rode back to Hou's Mansion in a carriage.

In front of the Hou Mansion, a family member was waiting there early, and when he saw us getting off the carriage, he hurriedly came to meet us.

"Young Master, Madam, are you back? The old lady is waiting for you inside. ”

After listening to what the family said, the mother was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that the ancestor would wait for them early in the morning.

"Mother, the ancestor is waiting for us, let's go in." I said to my mother.

"But you still have to go back." Mother's Voice.

"Presumably, the ancestor also wants to see how my body is, it won't take long." I say.

Ning Su thought about it, but he didn't dare to save the face of his ancestors, so he let me enter the mansion with him.

When she saw the old ancestor, she was taking a nap on the couch. The mother-in-law on the side woke her up softly, she opened her eyes and looked at me and my mother, so she waved her hand and asked my mother to go back to the yard first, leaving me alone.

"Say hello to the ancestors." I salute.

"Brother Yang has been very big lately, how can I, an old woman, afford your courtesy?" The old ancestor sarcastically mocked me without being salty.

I said respectfully, "Is the ancestor annoying his grandson for yesterday's events?" My grandson was very sick yesterday, and my mother was really worried and wanted to stay and take care of my grandson, but my mother didn't want to go against your ancestor. I saw that my mother was in a dilemma, so I made my own decisions. If the ancestor is angry with his grandson, the grandson has nothing to say, but please take care of your body and don't be angry with your mother. ”
