The sky outside had gradually darkened, and the dim light of the setting sun lazily sprinkled on the table and floor through the window, and even the teacup had a small faint halo, which made people feel tired.

It's been almost a whole day since I cried and worshiped from the palace, Mrs. Xu's age is here, and she has had a stroke, although her spirit has been strong, her body is really uncompetitive and has some reactions, plus Fengle Lou has a big hand, and a chaise longue has been set up in each room of the private room on the second floor for guests to rest, she really can't support it, seeing that Zhu Yuan has not returned to Fengle Lou for a long time, she leaned on the chaise longue and closed her eyes.

Second Master Xu was worried in his heart, seeing that she was asleep, he went downstairs under the pretext of asking for news, and when he came out of the room, he went straight to the back kitchen worriedly, and raised his eyebrows and shouted when he saw Ji Chen.

Ji Chen has dealt with Second Master Xu, after Yin Jichuan and Xiang Wentian were sent out by Zhu Yuan one after another to run errands, Shu Chen took over their errands, and occasionally had some dealings with Second Master Xu, Ji Chen, as Shu Chen's younger brother, naturally can sometimes talk to Second Master Xu.

Seeing that it was Second Master Xu, he brought a warm smile and greeted him very politely: "Why is Second Master Xu free?" Please take a seat, I will arrange a first-class private room, are you a banquet guest, or? ”

Second Master Xu waved his hand and asked directly, "Will the county lord come here today?" ”

Are you looking for your own girl? Ji Chen subconsciously shook his head, and when he saw that the second master was uneasy, he said: "It's unknown whether the girl will come or not, she usually doesn't come much, she seems to have entered the palace today, I'm afraid it will be too late when she leaves the palace, and she shouldn't come." ”

What the?

Went to the palace?

Second Master Xu was a little stunned.

Today, Mrs. Xu also entered the palace, and they still came straight here from the palace!

Since the old lady also entered the palace, it should be possible to meet Zhu Yuan, so why did the old lady still come to Fengle Building? She must know that if Zhu Yuan is still in the palace, he may not come out so soon!

The second master was surprised in his heart, frowning and puzzled.

Since he didn't know who the old lady was looking for, he naturally couldn't say why he came, and when Ji Chen asked him if he was looking for Zhu Yuan, he thought about it, and said calmly: "My mother is here, and she is in the yellow private room upstairs, I originally thought that she was here to find the county lord, so I thought that I would notify the county lord first, so as not to have anything happen at the time, but now it seems that the old lady should not be looking for trouble with the county lord, so forget it." ”

Ji Chen immediately cheered up the spirit of 120,000 points, as if facing the enemy's orders, the people under him must be attentive, and don't be provoked by the upstairs.

Second Master Xu returned to the second floor in a daze, and found that Steward Xu and the Xu family were outside the private room, the door of the private room was closed, and when he arrived, he was stopped by Steward Xu before he could speak, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed: "What's wrong?" The old lady woke up? ”

Steward Xu smiled at Second Master Xu, lowered his voice and said, "The old lady is seeing a guest, I'm tired of the second master, let's go next door and wait for a while." ”

Going next door?

Second Master Xu was even more dazed, not knowing what the old lady was selling.

At this time, Mrs. Xu in the private room took a sip of tea, and smiled with a smile with a familiar eunuch opposite: "In the end, it is still Grandpa Sun who appreciates his face, my old wife is now disgusted with ghosts, the world is hot and cold, everyone looks at me and can't wait to take a detour, for fear that he will be haunted by bad luck, Grandpa Sun is still taking time out of his busy schedule to come out to see me, the old woman, the old woman is really flattered." ”

Grandpa Sun is different from ordinary eunuchs, he is tall and big, looks majestic, not like a eunuch, but like a military attaché, at this moment his expression on his face is faint, and he was not moved by Mrs. Xu's words, just said: "The old lady is serious, Guogong values me, I almost died when I was clean, it was Guogong who took pity on me, and said to my master, let my master leave my life, I have not had a chance to repay the favor over the years, now since the old lady can use me, of course our family is duty-bound." ”

Zhang Qing and Sun Duo are about the same age, but Zhang Qing climbed up from the bottom, and he has always been a ruthless character who eats people and does not spit out bones, but Sun Duo is different, although he is also picking up others, but he does have some real materials.

When he was a brick factory eunuch in Nanjing, the Nanjing brick factory was running very well, and then he was promoted to Suzhou, as a town guard eunuch, and then promoted to the capital, becoming the governor eunuch of the three battalions.

This can be regarded as Zhang Qing's old opponent, and the two of them often have tricks.

Mrs. Xu sighed: "That's what I said, but it's easy to add icing on the cake, it's difficult to send charcoal in the snow, Grandpa Sun can lend a helping hand at this time, the old body is grateful, if Guogong has a day to come back, he will definitely repay you twice!" ”

Gonggong Sun raised his hand, and the expression on his face was still indifferent: "You said this, you will see the outside, since our family has followed you out to see you, then we are naturally ready, we are so familiar, there is nothing to say, just say it, what else do we need our family to do?" ”

Mrs. Xu was very satisfied with Grandpa Sun's attitude.

It was not in vain that she made a special trip to the palace today, how many years have not been so embarrassing, Mrs. Xu is now completely calm, seeing what Grandpa Sun said, Mrs. Xu said: "Guogong has been loyal to the monarch and patriotic all his life, but no one is perfect, and the high power will inevitably be hated. Guogong is far away in Yunnan, the son is in prison, and now there is only a group of old and weak women and children in the Guogong Mansion, when the wind and rain are shaking, if the father-in-law can reach out to pull us, the Guogong Mansion will always regard you as a benefactor! ”

Grandpa Sun raised his eyebrows meaningfully at Mrs. Xu, and raised his voice: "Old lady, is this forcing our family to fight with senior brother?" But what kind of person is the senior brother, how many years has he been with his godfather, the affection is extraordinary, but I am different, I have been working outside all the year round, and I have been transferred back to the capital in the past two years......"

Mrs. Xu took a sip of tea, and didn't care about Grandpa Sun's perfunctory words, but just laughed to herself: "Father-in-law is a smart person, it's better to be like this, what does Father-in-law want?" Why don't you open a condition? As long as my father-in-law can raise his noble hand and let us pass, we will be very grateful! ”

Grandpa Sun laughed with interest.
