On the second door, the maid made the final count.

Drinks, snacks, fruits, things that the masters can use when they go out, there is no shortage of pools.

The seventh daughter-in-law of Lao Qi, who was in charge, was inspecting and listening to the subordinates, and saw Mrs. Gui coming over surrounded by a crowd from afar, she hurriedly cleared her throat and greeted her.

"It's all ready, ready to go." Lao Qi's daughter-in-law said with a smile.

Old Madam Gui bowed slightly.

Pedal in front of the car, Wen Zifu personally supported the old lady, and said: "My son proposed that you go to the mountain to worship, I should have accompanied you, but I can't spare time in the yamen......"

"Official business is important," Old Madam Gui laughed, "what?" The old woman has reached the age where she can't go out when her son is not around? Daughters-in-law, grandchildren, granddaughters, so many maids-in-law, you don't have to worry about it, just do things. ”

Wen Zifu hurriedly said: "Your body is very strong, and when you are busy with this period, it is almost the middle of winter, and your son will accompany you to the hot spring Zhuangzi." ”

He didn't mean not to go.

Patrol the imperial history to the south, I don't know which day will come to Lin'an Mansion.

Just three days ago, everyone in the yamen canceled the ten-month vacation and was busy checking and filling in the gaps.

It's impossible to be perfect, and if you really do that, it's fatal to fake and whitewash the peace, it's simply to treat Yushi as a fool, but you can't show obvious mistakes and let Yushi fall in a daze.

Not only in Lin'an City, but also several county officials below were also under a tight spell.

Wen Zifu is going to go out and supervise Tonglu County, the road is not far, but to deal with things, unless Yushi enters the city, he will stay there for five or six days.

"Is it easy to deal with this coming back Yushi?" Old Madam Gui asked.

Wen Zifu replied: "The right deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Huo Huaiding, Lord Huo, is rumored to be very upright, and my mother is relieved. ”

Old Madam Gui's brows raised.

She didn't care about the official position in front and the conduct in the back, and the old lady caught the most important word in an instant - Huo.

Huo Taifei's Huo, Huo Yixiao's Huo.

"This Lord Huo is the ...... of the concubine," asked Mrs. Gui.

Wen Zifu didn't know the twists and turns in the old lady's heart, and said, "It's Niangniang's nephew." ”

Old Madam Gui nodded knowingly.

Ever since she knew that Wen Yan was married to Huo Yixiao, the old lady recalled everything she could think of about the Huo family.

Just heard Wen Zifu mention it, she was afraid that she was too excited to remember it, and Tete confirmed it again.

You can't go wrong now.

Huo Yixiao remembered in the Huo family, and Huo Huaiding was his uncle.

There are many officials in the Huo family, probably because the concubine Niangniang is worried about the prosperity and decline, and the official positions of the children are very ordinary, only Huo Huaiding is in an important position, and he is also the one who is extremely valued by the emperor and the concubine Niangniang in the rumors.

Old Madam Gui thought as she set her eyes on the three granddaughters who were talking on the side.

Wen Hui was very excited to go out in autumn, and she kept chatting with her two younger sisters.

In particular, Wen Yan is the first time to ascend to Tianzhu, and Wen Hui is introducing the places worth seeing along the way one by one, so as not to miss it.

Wen Yan seemed to be in high spirits, listened very carefully, and asked a few words from time to time.

The old lady turned the string of sandalwood Buddha beads on her wrist.

With Huo Yixiao and the concubine's liking for Wen Yan, Huo Huaiding will show it when he goes south this time.

Even if the children have not formally made a marriage contract and it is inappropriate to give each other privately, it is reasonable for Concubine Huo, as an elder, to give Wen Yan a sentence or two.

Mrs. Gui is looking forward to it.

In order to be able to enjoy the scenery all the way, the Wen family had to change boats at the ferry, take the waterway through Xizi Lake, go ashore at Maojiabu, and then take a carriage up the mountain.

After getting on the boat, Wen Yan was pulled by Wen Hui on the deck to watch the scene.

The water is rippling, and the mountains are far away and the water is near.

Wen Hui pointed to a few conspicuous places and said, her heart moved, and she leaned over to find Wen Ci: "Big brother, big brother, where is the place where Ji Jiu's group of bastards fought and fell into the water?" You point me to it. ”

Wen Ci also heard afterwards that where did he know the real location, and Wen Hui asked him that he had no choice, so he pointed in a random direction: "It seems to be there." ”

Wen Huile was happy, and wanted to lie on the fence and poke her brain to see, so frightened that the maids and women hurriedly brought people back.

Wen Yan bent her eyes to see that she hadn't enjoyed such excitement for a long time.

Laughing and playing, full of fireworks.

She saw Mrs. Gui in her spare eye.

The old lady was also happy, drinking tea slowly.

Wen Yanxin said, sure enough, as long as you can go out to let off steam, whether you are as young as Wen Hui or as old as an old lady, there is no one who is unhappy.

Originally, Ebony also wanted to follow, but Wen Yan didn't let her, so angry that the cat grinned and gave her a paw.

Tut!

The ferry port in Maojiabu is a bit crowded.

Not only Lin'an City, but also pilgrims from northern Jiangsu and Jiahu took the waterway to Tianzhu to enter the incense, and also landed here.

The Wen family waited for a while, and the boat docked and disembarked one after another.

Carriages are already waiting here.

Wen Yan accompanied the sisters, Wen Ci took care of the two younger brothers, and the old lady Gui only left An's in front of her, and the Cao family was happy, and when she got into the carriage, she leaned on the pillow to close her eyes and recuperate.

An Shi thumped Mrs. Gui's leg.

It was probably Huo Huaiding who made the old lady feel comfortable, and she said slowly: "Yushi said a good word, which is more useful than the excellence in the evaluation for many years." After patrolling Lin'an and then Mingzhou, let San Lang be more careful and smart, perhaps, he doesn't need to think about it, and then San Lang can be transferred to the capital. ”

An's mouth should be in order, and his heart is cold.

Transfer to the capital?

If the shortage of the capital is so good, the uncle has been in Beijing for more than ten years, and he has already brought his two younger brothers to Beijing.

It's impossible, the old lady said this, what is it if she is not arranged?

Besides, no matter if her husband is in Mingzhou or Beijing, if the old lady doesn't let her go, she just won't let her go, what's the use?

She herself was managed to death by the old lady, and the silver in the house was deducted from the second room, so if it goes on like this, what hope is there for the future.

Wen Yuan's dowry is less and less, and he is not less ridiculed in his mother-in-law's family, Wen Min is still studying, going to school, taking scientific examinations, marrying, everything has to be invested in silver, and Wen Zilan's official position has come to an end in a short time, and it is difficult to rise again without a way......

An Shi glanced at Old Madam Gui.

To put it bluntly, the old lady is eccentric, and the old lady tosses!

The only way to change the current situation is to divide the family!

It's just that the parents are here, and other nationalities and other wealth are not allowed by the law.

Ordinary people can still have no investigation in their homes, Wen Zilan is an official, and he can't make a decision.

For the rest of the Wen family, the existence of the old lady is equivalent to a plaque, but for the An family, it is better not to have it, anyway, the glory of the Hou Mansion or something, she has not enjoyed it, on the contrary, Wen Yuan was wronged because she did not have a marriage that matched the "Hou Mansion Girl".

Ahn thought about it.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped and the mother-in-law asked the old lady to get out of the carriage that An suddenly came back to his senses.

The bell rang in the temple, startling the birds.

An Shi looked at the mountain gate from afar, and a thought crossed over and over again in his heart - if the old lady was gone, it would be fine.
