Concubine Zhang Shufei retracted her thoughts and said to Tuoba Shen: "When I first left Qingzhou, your aunt was not yet three years old, and after all, your aunt is twenty-six or seventy years old this year, right?" When you come to Jiangnan this time, Sanniang'er is very worried about it. ”

Tuoba Shen listened to Concubine Zhang's words and knew that Concubine Zhang did not know that her mother had passed away.

"Auntie ......" Tuoba Shen paused and said, "Auntie passed away six years ago. ”

"Ahh Concubine Zhang Shu unconsciously grabbed Tuoba Shen's hand and exclaimed, "How can it be...... Sanniang'er is in the prime of life, how could she pass away!? ”

"My mother's health was not very good when she was young, and she later moved to Pingcheng, and she was even more intolerant of the cold...... When I was born, my mother suffered a stroke and a cold that caused a qi disease. Six years ago, the midsummer qi disease recurred, and it did not heal for a long time, and he passed away in September. ”

Concubine Zhang Shu's face was slightly dark, she pondered for a while, and sighed: "I didn't expect that Sanniang'er would also suffer this calamity!" ”

Tuoba Shen saw that Concubine Zhang Shufei had something to say, and asked, "Dare to ask my aunt what she means by this?" ”

"Erlang doesn't know that since the ancestor of my aunt's family, men and women in the clan may occasionally suffer from this disease. Zu Kao visited the famous doctor for this reason, so he had to slow down the town's method. I didn't expect Sanniang'er to also be infected with this vicious disease. After crossing the river that year, my aunt died of qi disease due to her disobedience to water and soil. Speaking of this, Concubine Zhang Shufei took Tuoba Shen's hand and asked urgently: "Erlang has ever had a qi disease so far?" ”

Tuoba shook his head and said, "But there has never been." ”

It turns out that my mother is guilty of a genetic disease! The root of this genetic disease is deeply hidden in the genes, and there is no cure at all, and what can be done is to control the disease.

"That'll be fine." Concubine Zhang Shufei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The children inside and outside our clan have been suffering from qi diseases for a long time, but fortunately, the descendants of the future generations have been separated for a long time, and there are many fewer people who are riddled with qi diseases. In the past, my aunt's three children were young, and they were afraid that they would be affected by this calamity, Haotian God, Buddha and Bodhisattva, Sanguan and Jiufu all prayed, but fortunately, the three children grew up safely. ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways, touched his daughter's bun, and said, "Now that Yunchang has become a family business, my aunt will only wait for Lingyuan and Lu to get married, and it will be considered complete." Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, and there were tears in his eyes, obviously remembering Xiao Zixiang, who was given death last year.

Princess Yongjia hugged her mother's arm, and when she saw that her mother thought of her brother again, she shook her mother's arm and shouted softly, "Mother ......."

Seeing this, Xiao Ziqing wanted to persuade but didn't know what to say, he had said many good things he could think of, and he really couldn't think of any other way. He could only give Tuoba Shen a look and remind him not to forget the previous agreement.

Tuoba cautiously saw Concubine Zhang Shufei Qi Rong, and saw Xiao Ziqing's eyes, and was about to persuade when he opened his mouth, but found that the persuasion he had thought of before was now unable to say a word. Xiao Zixiang was raised by Concubine Zhang Shu for more than ten years, during which she worked hard and worried a lot when she went out of town. In the end, it was the white-haired people who sent the black-haired people, and this kind of grief could be lightened in a year or two.

There is another way for their children to persuade their mothers, how can outsiders persuade them? No matter how nice the words are, no matter how reasonable they are, in this case, there will be a feeling of standing and talking without backache. It's better not to open your mouth.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Shen withdrew his hand, reached into his arms and took out the jade pendant wrapped in the scarf, took out the jade pendant, and handed the scarf to Princess Yongjia, Xiao Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, took the scarf, and was about to wipe away the tears for her mother. When Concubine Zhang Shufei saw her daughter's movements, she came back to her senses, took the scarf in her daughter's hand, wiped her tears, and said with a forced smile: "Let Erlang see you smile!" ”

After returning the scarf to her daughter, Concubine Zhang Shufei got up and said, "Yun Chang, Lingyuan, your brother and sister are so good to talk to Erlang, and Grandma will go to the kitchen to have a look first."

Xiao Ziqing watched his mother and maidservant turn the red sandalwood glass screen, and after leaving the main hall, he looked back at Tuoba Shen, and said with a slight frown: "Since Your Highness has been invited by Ziqing, why don't you say a word now?" Is it okay not to do what you promised? ”

Tuoba Shen took the genealogy made by Concubine Zhang Shu from the table and said, "It's not prudent to persuade you. It's just that what can I say about being a mother and missing her beloved son? ”

。。。。。。

About a quarter of an hour later, Concubine Zhang Shufei came back from the kitchen, followed by seven or eight or two by two, or alone carrying a food box to the door, after entering the main hall, I saw Tuoba Shen and Xiao Ziqing, Xiao Lingyuan each sat at a low table, there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, Tuoba Shen and Xiao Ziqing had stopped writing, there were many words on the paper in front of them, and her daughter Xiao Lingyuan was still writing seriously.

Concubine Zhang Shufei instructed the slave maid to put the lunch away, walked to the table, and saw that she was practicing calligraphy.

"Okay," Princess Yongjia put her pen on the inkstone, clapped her hands and said coquettishly.

Tuoba Shen saw that Xiao Lingyuan had finished writing, so he handed his words to Xiao Ziqing, Xiao Ziqing gave his words to his sister, and Tuoba Shen got Xiao Lingyuan's words and appreciated them.

Xiao Lingyuan wrote the first part of the "Book of Songs" "Guan Ju", the handwriting is correct, but it seems much immature, the characteristics of the girl's handwriting are very heavy, and many words have deliberate traces at the turn.

"Aunt Cong, is this the style of Mrs. Wang Huiji's book?" Tuoba guessed.

The calligraphy that women learn to use, but there are only a few, unlike men, there are many calligraphy that can be chosen, and there are very few female calligraphers, so Tuoba Shen can also see some clues in Xiao Lingyuan's handwriting.

"Exactly, the eyes that can be returned?" Xiao Lingyuan put down her brother's words, raised her head, sat upright, her eyes were clear, and she looked at Tuoba Shen, obviously wanting to hear Tuoba Shen, a third person, evaluate her words.

She read a lot of Xiao Ziqing's words, but she felt that this article had not changed from before, so she didn't read it more.

Tuoba Shen didn't answer, looked at it carefully, put it down, and said, "It can be said that he is also good." ”

Xiao Lingyuan said strangely: "What do you mean by this? Erlang and say good and bad. ”

"Very good, very good! The view is very similar to Mrs. Wang's words. It's just that the horizontal one is too short, and the vertical one hates the long. Tuoba replied.

Xiao Lingyuan's face was stunned, and then she turned from joy to annoyance, turned her head, and saw her mother standing on the side, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, Erlang also came to bully her daughter." ”。

"Hahaha......"

Xiao Ziqing saw the embarrassment of Ah Mei being hit, and slapped the table and laughed: "I told you yesterday, but I still don't believe it, how about this time?" I believe my brother's words. ”

"Humph!"

Xiao Lingyuan saw that his brother was laughing at herself, and saw that although Tuoba Shen had a serious face, there was a hidden smile in his eyes, she couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, turned around and snatched the white rattan paper in front of Xiao Ziqing, and snorted angrily: "I'll also come to see your handwriting, it can be a little better than mine!" ”

Seeing her daughter's coquettish attitude, Concubine Zhang knew that her daughter was embarrassed, and she didn't comfort her daughter, so she smiled at Tuoba Shen and said: "My aunt asked the palace chef to make a lot of delicacies, regardless of the north and south, Erlang and come to try it, but what is the difference?" ”

Tuoba Shen and Xiao Ziqing glanced at each other, then got up and walked to a few maids holding copper plates, washed off the ink stains on their hands with water, and followed Concubine Zhang Shu into the side hall on the left, leaving only Princess Yongjia who was looking for the shortcomings of Tuoba Shen's calligraphy at the low table.
