The small courtyard where Mrs. Gao Chengyi lives is very quiet. As soon as you enter the door, there is a screen depicting a picture of a lady, behind the screen there is a winding path to a unique outdoor paradise scenery, on the left is a bamboo forest swaying, on the right is a miniature lotus pond, the pool is gurgling, a few goldfish swim in it.

At the door of the flower hall, Gao Liang stopped, and said to Kong Sheng with a solemn face: "Brother Kong, my mother has been waiting for you for a long time, and you should remember that your mother has questions, and you can answer them truthfully, and you can't prevaricate." ”

Kong Sheng nodded: "Please rest assured, the third son, Kong does not dare to speak falsely." ”

Gao Liang straightened his clothes, and then entered the door with a respectful face. His slight action made Kong Sheng realize that Gao Liang had deep respect for his mother, and he didn't dare to be rude in front of his mother.

Kong Sheng's face was solemn and he followed.

Entering the hall, he looked up, only to see that the hall was decorated with antique decorations, beautifully carved partitions, screens, cultural ornaments and ornamental objects everywhere, and the walls were full of calligraphy and painting scrolls, which showed that this Mrs. Gao had a deep cultural accomplishment.

On a soft couch sat a woman in her forties. Beside him, stood two delicate and delicate beautiful maids in their prime.

This woman was wearing a gorgeous purple tunic skirt, combing the fallen horse bun commonly used by noble ladies nowadays, thin fat powder, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a plump and graceful face, and a good bearing.

Kong Sheng knew that this was Mrs. Gao, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he went down with Gao Liang to pay homage.

Gao Liang smiled respectfully: "Mother! This is the Kong brother from Jiangnan I am talking about. ”

Kong Sheng hurriedly bowed again: "I've seen Madame!" ”

Zhou smiled softly and waved his hand: "Young man, don't be restrained. Look up. Let the old body see. ”

Kong Sheng raised his head. looked at Zhou calmly, but did not continue to look directly at her face, maintaining due measure and respect.

Zhou stared at it and saw the young man in front of him, Lang Si Wenwen, with a handsome face, a slender figure, a cyan Confucian shirt that fits very well, and a bookish aura that seems to be absent from his body. Especially those eyes are clear and deep, giving people a deep good impression.

At first impression, Kong Sheng left an excellent and very deep impression on Zhou.

This is a child who reads a lot of books and has a good character, and his cultivation is extraordinary. This was Zhou's first impression of Kong Sheng.

Zhou laughed: "What a handsome young man." Kong Xiaolang, the old man came to ask you, who is the surname of the grandmother, and she asked you to come to Jiyin County to find the old man, but what credentials and words do you have? And tell me the truth. ”

Kong Sheng obviously felt that although Zhou's words were very calm, there was a slight hint of nervousness and expectation. This made Kong Sheng feel that his bet was accurate.

He thought about it slightly, then replied with a respectful smile: "Madam." The grandmother's maiden name is Zhou, and the family name of Fengxiang is a person. A single name is a Ping character. Ten years after Tianbao, his grandmother and grandfather moved south with their family and have been living in Danyang County, Jiangning County. ”

"Zhou ...... Ping ......" Zhou's expression was slightly excited, she Huo Ran got up from the soft couch, took a step forward, and stared at Kong Sheng's eyes becoming more and more hot: "That sentence, but what Mother Zu said?" What did she say about Qinglian Village and Li'er? ”

Kong Sheng thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "If Mrs. Hui's words, please forgive the kid for being brave - when my grandmother was alive, she said that when she was just married, she took care of her sister named Li'er, and lived together in Qinglian Village in the countryside for a period of time, and then because she moved with her husband's family, she broke off contact. ”

As soon as Kong Sheng's words came out, Zhou immediately burst into tears and couldn't help himself.

She stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Kong Sheng's hand, and choked up: "Good boy, the old body is the pity in your mouth, Sister Ping treated me like a mother back then, and the affection for nurturing me is still unforgettable." Decades have passed, but I didn't expect Sister Ping to pass away...... The old body and soul hurt! ”

Although Kong Sheng doesn't have any credentials, there are some things and some people who have been sealed in the depths of Zhou's memory for decades, and even Gao Chengyi never knew about it, and now that Kong Sheng is a young man, what else can Zhou suspect?

Zhou was sad and sad in the end, and his true feelings were revealed, and he actually hugged Kong Sheng in his arms and wept.

Kong Sheng was slightly embarrassed, and secretly said that he was lucky. No matter what Gao Chengyi's father and son are, this Zhou family is kind and virtuous at heart, and he is a little ashamed to be so deceitful. It's just that in order to protect himself and survive this crisis, he can't take care of much.

Gao Liang also shed tears on the side.

Zhou finally warmly invited Kong Sheng to have lunch in the mansion, and told Gao Liang to take care of Kong Sheng, and hoped that Kong Sheng could stay in Gao's mansion, so that she could always see him, the descendant of his sister's blood and bones.

The recognition was a great success.

After Kong Sheng left Gaofu, Gao Liang returned to his mother's courtyard, and when he saw that his father Gao Chengyi was also there, he hurriedly bowed and bowed: "My son has seen my father!" ”

Gao Chengyi is about forty years old, with a thin face and no official robes, but he also has a majestic bearing. He waved his hand and said lightly: "Send that Kong Sheng away?" Has his origin ever been clarified? ”

Gao Liang replied respectfully: "Father, his words should not be false. However, I will send someone to infiltrate Jiangnan to investigate, if he dares to come to the door to deceive his relatives, his son will definitely not be able to spare him! ”

Zhou interjected dissatisfiedly: "Husband, what else are you investigating?" The name of the concubine, those old things from decades ago, no one knows except for the concubine and Sister Ping, and the concubine looks at his eyebrows and eyes, which are vaguely similar to Sister Ping, he must be Sister Ping's own grandson! ”

"Madam, how can this man be of unknown origin and have no evidence, so how can you believe him with just a few words? If he is a spy of the government and infiltrates our high mansion, then what is it? Gao Chengyi frowned.

Zhou said disappreciably: "Husband, how can he be a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, how can he be the tip of the government?" Besides, he just came to Jiyin County to live as a concubine, and arranged an official position for him at will, if you don't feel at ease, don't let him come into the house to live, and give him a place to live outside. ”

Gao Chengyi smiled: "Madame said the same, don't take it too seriously." However, the origin of this son still has to be investigated, the old man still has some doubts, after the accident that year, Mrs. Niang's family fell apart and went their own way, and one of them went to Jiangnan, but after decades, how did they know that Mrs. was in Jiyin County? Moreover, if you don't come early or late, choosing to come to Jiyin County at this time really makes the old man feel wrong. ”

Zhou was stunned, but after thinking about it, she explained casually: "Husband, you used to be an official in the court and had a great reputation, and over the years, there have been many people from the Zhou clan who have come to join us, and Sister Ping in Jiangnan knows that I married into the Fengxiang Gao family, what's so strange?" ”

Gao Chengyi seemed to be smiling, but he didn't continue to ask. Mrs. Zhou's reason seems to be reasonable, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is still a bit far-fetched.

Gao Chengyi cast a deep glance at Gao Liang.

Gao Liang comprehended and bowed deeply to his father: "Please rest assured that my son will take good care of Kong Sheng." ”

Gao Chengyi laughed.

The father and son are both suspicious people, Kong Sheng's origin is somewhat unclear, and his words are somewhat flawed, if you want to dispel all the suspicions of the Gao family, unless the people sent by Gao Liang to infiltrate Jiangnan get strong evidence.

Kong Sheng actually knew that the Gao family would definitely send someone to Jiangnan to investigate his origin. But Kong Sheng has no fear, in the war season, he will go to Jiangnan, a round trip, no matter how fast it will take several months, and by that time, he will have already left Jiyin County, and he can manage so much.
