Chapter 268: Loving Old Lady
"The relationship left by his father and mother should still be there. Your Highness, Mengyan wants to go and tell her grandmother about this matter in person. This Huang Fuzi must be found out clearly. If he had a trace of unfavorable thoughts for his mother, Mengyan would not be able to allow such a thing to happen! Liu Mengyan said.
"Maybe not 'unfavorable'! He was not very old when he left Liufu, only ten years old. What kind of grudge can there be with my mother-in-law? Perhaps, he admires his mother-in-law! Tuoba Ze said.
"No, Your Highness, Yan'er is going to the Dingguo Mansion now!" Liu Mengyan grabbed Tuoba Zeyan's hand.
"Let's have dinner together and then go, and the main hall will accompany you!" Tuoba Zeyan patted her hand and said.
Liu Mengyan nodded, putting away her rare panic.
Since she was reborn, she could know many things in advance, but this one was unexpected. This Huang Fuzi never appeared in his previous life.
In the last life, Qingde died in the back house, and he had no chance to go to the Dingguo Mansion, so Huang Fuzi had no chance to appear.
When the two were eating, Sanfu had already gone to prepare the carriage and the gifts to the Dingguo Mansion.
Liu Mengyan didn't plan to change her clothes and comb her hair again, so she only asked Bitong to give her a cloak embroidered with dark purple gold thread and red plums.
Tuoba Zeyan didn't go back to change his clothes, and took her hand and went out of the gate.
Liu Mengyan saw the small carriage following the back door of the carriage at a glance, and couldn't help asking, "What is in that carriage?" ”
"Naturally, it is a gift from a given country. The old lady loves Yan'er very much, and today the palace will accompany you to the house, so naturally you have to prepare a generous gift. Tuoba Ze said.
Bitong and Qiu Yun glanced at each other, and they were both very happy.
In the Dingguo Mansion, someone had already set off to report the news.
The old lady Yao led Gao and her two cousins out to greet her.
"Old lady, you might as well wait in the concierge. The daughter-in-law and them are waiting here! Gao stepped forward and said to the old lady.
"It should be soon! Yan'er, this girl has been out of the cabinet for these times, and today is considered to be back to her grandfather's door. We're still here! The old lady said.
Zhu Min on the side continued Gao's words and said, "Grandmother, my mother is also afraid that you will freeze. It's a lot of wind today. ”
"Min girl, grandmother's body bones are okay." The old lady smiled lovingly at her.
"I'm in front of my grandmother, I'm in front of my grandmother, I'm in front of my grandmother!" Zhu Ningyuan's immature voice suddenly exploded.
Gao gave birth to a total of four children: the eldest son Zhu Ningfeng, the second daughter Zhu Ningmin, who is only twelve years old this year, and the third daughter Zhu Ningyuan, who is ten years old, and the youngest son, Zhu Ningtao, is only six years old.
"Yuan girl is really a caring little padded jacket!" The old lady smiled and took her in her arms.
Zhu Ningmin saw that her sister was favored by the old lady, and couldn't help but pout, no longer looking at her.
"Look, isn't Cousin Li, they're here!" She looked into the distance and saw the carriage of King Yi's mansion coming this way.
"It's coming, it's coming. The old lady had been looking forward to it for a long time. Gao said.
When the carriage stopped in front of everyone and the curtain opened, Tuoba Zeyan came out first.
Liu Mengyan also stretched out her hand, and was helped down by Tuoba Zeyan, just in time to see the old lady of Dingguo leading everyone up.
"Grandmother!"
"Lao Sheng, please give His Royal Highness King Yi, His Royal Highness Princess Yi!" The old lady hurriedly saluted.
"Courtiers to His Royal Highness King Yi, Her Royal Highness Princess Yi please be safe!" Gao led everyone to salute together.
Seeing them half-blessed in front of her, Liu Mengyan wanted to help them up, but she still held back.
"Grandmother, aunt, sisters, get up." Tuoba Zeyan said weakly.
Then the people got up.
Liu Mengyan broke free of Tuoba Zeyan's hand, stepped forward to hold the old lady, and shouted, "Grandmother! ”
"Princess Yi, no." The old lady pushed Liu Mengyan and looked at Tuoba Zeyan embarrassedly, "Princess Yi is spoiled by the old man, and I hope that King Yi will not see outside." ”
"Princess Yi is very dignified and virtuous, and she is well taught by the old lady." Tuoba Zeyan smiled slightly.
Hearing his praise in front of everyone, Liu Mengyan was still a little embarrassed, glanced at him and said, "Your Highness, let's follow our grandmother into the house." She's so old! ”
The old lady held Liu Mengyan with one hand, and on the other side, she had to greet Tuoba Zeyan, and Gao led her subordinates to carry the gifts brought by Tuoba Zeyan.
The sisters went in after the old lady.
When she came to the front hall, the old lady invited Tuoba Zeyan and Liu Mengyan to take a seat.
She and Gao sat beside each other, and several other sisters sat down on the left and right of Gao.
After the tea, the old lady stood up again and saluted: "Thank you, old student, King Yi and Princess Yi for their gifts." ”
"The main hall is going back and forth with the princess today. Old lady, there are no others here, you better let go, no need to be formal. Tuoba Ze said.
Liu Mengyan glanced at him happily and said, "Your Royal Highness is also easy-going on weekdays, grandmother, aunt, you are all casual." In this way, His Highness and Yan'er can also be more casual. ”
"Hehe, mother, since His Royal Highness King Yi and Princess Yi have said so, sit down quickly." Gao hurriedly went to help her mother-in-law.
The old lady let go and sat down.
"Grandmother, how is Cousin Ning Feng doing?" Liu Mengyan asked about Zhu Ningfeng first.
The old lady also heard about Emperor Xuan's plan from her grandson, and when she saw Liu Mengyan asking, a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes, but she said, "The princess is worried." Feng'er has been a little absent-minded these days. However, Lao Sheng felt that he would get better soon. ”
Gao didn't understand these words, because Zhu Ningfeng didn't tell her, only with the old lady.
"Tell my cousin to be happier. There may be a turnaround. Liu Mengyan said.
"Cousin, what you and grandmother are talking about, Min'er can't understand it." Zhu Ningmin couldn't help but ask.
"Grandmother and your cousin are talking about adult things, you are a child, don't ask too much." The old lady reprimanded.
"Hehe, His Royal Highness King Yi, I don't know what flavor I like. Surrender and prepare meals for His Highness and Princess. Gao had no choice but to divert the topic.
"The main hall and the princess have the same taste, just come according to the princess's preferences." Tuoba Ze said.
"Good. Min'er, Yuan'er, Tao'er, you all go back. Let your sister Li say something to your grandmother. Gao got up and said to his children.
The old lady nodded and said, "What your mother said is, go." Later, when I will dine with His Highness and the princess, I will call you out. ”
Gao withdrew from the front hall with his three daughters and maids.
"Mother, grandmother is too partial. Why every time Cousin Li comes, she can't see us. Zhu Ningmin pouted.
"Don't talk nonsense. Your cousin Li is now Princess Yi, the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family. The status is more noble than yours. Besides, I don't see much on weekdays, so it naturally hurts more. Gao said to his eldest daughter.
Not only the old lady, but even Zhu Guangzu, when he mentioned this niece, his eyes were full of more spoiling than he treated his own daughter.
"Hmph, Min'er is not happy. Not only my grandmother, but also my father. Zhu Ningmin's small face was full of displeasure.
"Take your sister and brother back. You girl, the older you get, the smaller your heart becomes. When you were younger, you loved to follow your glass cousin. Gao said.
Zhu Ningmin pouted and led Zhu Ningyuan and Zhu Ningtao away.
At that time, the old lady of Dingguo sent out all the servants in the hall.
Only then did Liu Mengyan rest assured that she would talk to her about Master Huang.
"Grandmother, who is that Huang Fuzi you invited to Qingde? How did you hire him? Liu Mengyan asked.
"What's wrong? But what happened to Mr. Huang? His net worth background, the old student inquired clearly, his father and mother died early, and he had no sisters and brothers. I haven't started a family yet. When the old lady heard this, she was immediately a little anxious.
"Grandmother, don't panic! Huang is now in Liufu and gets along well with Qingde. Mother also said that Qingde was much more lively than before. Liu Mengyan hurriedly comforted.
"Grandmother, the princess has always been concerned about her mother-in-law and Qingde, so the palace sent someone to check on this Huang master. It's not that she doesn't trust the old lady, but that the princess attaches great importance to Qingde's master. Tuoba Zeyan added.
The old lady nodded and asked, "But what did you find out?" ”
"Grandmother, Your Highness found out that this Master Huang used to be in the Dingguo Mansion when he was a child." Liu Mengyan said, "His parents are also subordinates in the house. About eighteen years ago, he and his parents left the Zhu Mansion. ”
When the old lady heard Liu Mengyan say this, she suddenly fell into memory.
Eighteen years ago, the government did release some subordinates.
Some of them redeemed themselves and went out, and some of them made mistakes and were sent out.
A couple with a child around 10 years old.
The old lady's eyes narrowed and she remembered.
"At that time, there was a nurse beside your mother, who served your mother together with Tian's mother. She has a son, a year or two older than your mother. The nurse's surname was Huang, and her husband worked under Mr. Ledger in the abacus room in the front yard. The old lady said.
"Grandmother, that Huang Fuzi is that ten-year-old child." Liu Mengyan said.
Even though the old lady has been in the world for decades, it is quite surprising to hear such a thing suddenly.
"The kid? Take a closer look, that Huang Fuzi is indeed very similar to the yellow lady who served your mother at that time. The old lady frowned slightly, "If he is really that child, this is too coincidental." ”
"Grandmother, how did you come into contact with this Huang Master?" Liu Mengyan hurriedly asked.
At that time, Lao Sheng wanted to invite a master for Qingde to come in and teach him specially. He left behind too much homework, and he couldn't keep up with the private school in the house with Min'er and them. The old student told the housekeeper about this and asked him to find a suitable one. Unexpectedly, he came the next day. The old lady said.
