Chapter 191: The Past

Previous Chapter

Ah Yun, who was bored in the green house, said to Zhonglan, who was sitting in the pavilion reading a book, "Look, my mother is wandering over there by herself, but she doesn't allow me to go over. ”

Zhonglan raised his eyes and saw that his mother was really on the other side of the lotus pond, standing by the window, but he didn't look at them, and a figure flashed beside him. After Zhonglan saw it clearly, he said, "It's Aunt Yao, there must be something." After speaking, he still looked down at the book.

Ah Yun said dissatisfiedly, "This room is not soundproof at all, yesterday the eighth sister cried several times, so noisy that I couldn't sleep at all." ”

Zhonglan listened, but said with a smile, "I think this is quite rare, if it is in your own home, one person and one yard, how can there be such fireworks." ”

Ah Yun said, "When I go back, I will also move to my own yard. ”

Zhonglan said, "Isn't it good for you to follow your mother now, everything is convenient." ”

Ah Yun said, "It's not good, I want my own yard." ”

Zhonglan said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you will regret it again in the future, it will be too lonely." ”

Ruo Shu on the other side of the lotus pond stood in front of the window, listened to Lan Yao's story, turned around and said, "You are more frank than Aunt Mo, but why do you want to help that person speak?" ”

Lan Yao heard that she actually called her maternal grandfather that person, paused, and said, "It's not the slave who helps the Xiao family to speak, this is the truth, and he also fell for the calculation of the mother and daughter." ”

Ruoshu said, "Do you mean that they are in the position of the clan wife of the Xiao family?" ”

Lan Yao said, "Although she was born in the stepfamily, she can be regarded as a concubine, but because of your grandmother, she lost the name of the eldest daughter, and the family wife is hard to find for eternity, so she also wants to be like her mother, and she will get the name of a clan woman in the future." ”

Ruoshu asked, "Then why did my grandmother get her wish so easily?" ”

Lan Yao said: "Madame thinks that she is in love with the son of the Xiao family. After she gave birth to Miss Jingshu, she has not been able to get pregnant again, and the son of the Xiao family has always defended her and resolutely refused to take a concubine. Therefore, when I heard about this, it was difficult to accept it for a while, I remember that at that time, she did not give the Xiao family a chance to explain at all, and directly mentioned the peace and departure, and said that if he refused, she would personally go to the government to hand over the letter of peace and departure. ”

Ruoshu asked, "How could she be willing to give up her mother?" ”

Lan Yao said: "The son of the Xiao family said that if she didn't take Miss away, he would promise her to leave." ”

Ruoshu asked, "Why did she change her surname to Lu?" ”

Lan Yao didn't answer her question directly, and said, "When Madame knew, the second lady's child had already been born, and it was a boy. The Xiao family meant at that time that if the lady wanted to leave the house, she would have to leave the dowry to the young lady, and the lady only kept the land of the Lu family in Qingzhou in the end. ”

Ruoshu smiled miserably and said, "It's a pity that in the end, my mother's dowry went to the Zheng family." ”

Lan Yao said, "Zheng Gongzi is also the daughter of the Xiao family, and the dowry should be counted on her head. ”

Ruoshu said, "Go on." ”

Lan Yao said, "Mrs. is directly back to Qingzhou, a month did not arrive, the Chen family sent a deed, saying that she deviated from the scriptures, has not been allowed in the clan, in order to clean up the Chen family's door, so that the family door is not dusty, so she will be expelled from the clan, no longer surnamed Chen." ”

Ruoshu asked, "Second Master Lu's leg was also broken at that time." ”

Lan Yao said, "Lu Er and Lu San couldn't stand this anger, and ran to the Chen family to theorize, Lu Er was broken in his leg, and Lu San injured his waist at that time." ”

Ruoshu turned around, but Lan Yao couldn't say any more, Ruoshu handed her a handkerchief, and waited for her to calm down before asking, "Was it difficult at the time?" ”

"At that time, there were only a few old houses here, and the fields were less than one-third of what they are now. ”

Ruoshu sighed and said, "Since they are all reconciled and separated, why is it still difficult for my grandmother to let go?" “

Lan Yao said, "The son of the Xiao family often sends letters, in addition to writing about the daily life of the young lady, he always says something regretful about the beginning, and the lady always has to be sad for a few days when she reads it." ”

Ruoshu said, "So, just play that tune all night?" ”

Lan Yao said, "This song was changed by Mrs. and the son of the Xiao family together, and when I listened to it at the Xiao family, I felt that it was quite good." I don't know why, Madame is blowing it here, and it will make people feel broken. ”

Ruo Shu asked puzzledly, "Since you are sad, why do you still have to answer his letter again, why don't you reply to the letter and scold him, and if you dare to write again, you will find someone and break one of his legs." ”

Lan Yao looked at Ruoshu with wide eyes, digested it for a while, and then said, "If Madame had half a point with you, she wouldn't have suffered for so long." After speaking, he smiled bitterly and said, "The stick beats the mandarin duck, the love is hard to break, how can you let go easily?" ”

Ruoshu saw that she seemed to be arguing for that person again, and said, "If he is really ashamed, why doesn't he judge himself on the spot to show his innocence?" ”

Lan Yao looked at her for a long time before saying, "The son of the Xiao family was only twenty-two out of forty when he died. ”

Ruoshu reacted and said, "Didn't grandmother hear the news of his death?"

Lan Yao nodded.

Ruoshu said angrily, "He is dead when he dies, why do you want to send a letter to anger your grandmother?" ”

Lan Yao shook her head and said, "Madame didn't get any more letters from him for a long time, so I sent someone to inquire about it. Seeing Ruoshu's puffed up look, he said, "Owner, this is all in the past, let it drift away with the wind with the dead people." The owner is more blessed than the wife, met the general, I see that he is humble to you in everything, and he also loves the children very much, the owner, listen to my advice, live a good life with him, and the temper is more restrained, as long as you live well, the spirit of the lady in the sky will also be more at ease. ”

Ruoshu felt that the question was almost the same, and instead said, "Aunt Yao, Ah Yun is already about to move the yard, and it is still hard for you to prepare the slaves and maids to serve in advance, and choose some ones to act steadily." ”

Seeing that she had changed so quickly, Lan Yao thought that she had let go of this horse, so she hurriedly continued, "I have already picked it, and when the fifth lady picks it again, I can take it away directly this time." ”

Ruoshu said, "You are in charge, and she can't choose." ”

Because Zhonglan still had to go to school, Ruoshu didn't stay for ten days and then proposed to return to the capital.

Qin Daochuan asked strangely, "I want to go back to Qingzhou, why don't I stay for a while?" ”

Ruoshu looked at his slightly tanned face and said, "What, haven't caught enough Ben?" Do you want to bring some back to the capital? ”

Qin Daochuan said, "Fishing is secondary, every day with Zhongli they fish and catch shrimp in the ditch is really fun, if you want to come, you don't come, I take them directly on the stone slab to roast and eat, I don't know how enjoyable." ”

Ruoshu said: "I'm not afraid of damaging your reputation as a general." ”

Qin Daochuan said with a smile: "Staying with your wife and children, what do you care about such a false name?" ”

The two laughed for a while, and Qin Daochuan finally stretched his brows when he saw Ruoshu, and said, "As long as you are comfortable, I am willing to do anything." ”

Ruoshu glanced at him and said, "I have to hurry tomorrow, go to bed early." ”

Seeing that she understood, Qin Daochuan leaned over and said, "Although there is something wrong, it should be okay to kiss Fang Ze." ”

Ruoshu remembered Aunt Yao's words and asked, "Qin Daochuan, will you bear me?" ”

Qin Daochuan said softly, "No." ”

Ruoshu then asked, "What about He Shiqing?" ”

Qin Daochuan said helplessly, "Can't you spare me this time and stop mentioning her?" ”

Ruoshu said, "She's always there." ”

Qin Daochuan said, "She's not here. ”

Ruoshu tried to push him farther away, and said, "She's here." ”

Qin Daochuan grabbed her hand and put it on his chest, and said, "You touch, there is only you here." ”

Ruoshu still wants to say more, but there is no chance, Qin Daochuan's trick has been used for countless years, but it has worked again and again, and after a while, Ruoshu has no time to dwell on this problem anymore.
