Since the old lady came out on Chinese New Year's Eve to participate in the sacrifice and received everyone's ceremony, she also showed her face on the first day of the new year, and on the fourth day of the new year, she came out to sit down slightly at noon, and went back to rest in advance.

On weekdays, this old lady lives in a simple house, as if there is no such person as her in this house.

If this Song Hong is not her own child, but Song Hong is her only son, and the relationship between mother and son is not bad, but she handed over the middle feed early, saying that she wanted to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and she didn't come out in the backyard all the year round, and she didn't let people see her.

Although Wang Yongzhu has only seen the old lady a few times and has not spoken much, it can be seen that the old lady is still neat and clear.

Generally, such a noble lady, the man in charge of the family hangs up, and her son inherits the title, that is, the old feudal lord in the house, how happy and happy the life is, and it is rare to see the old duchess like this in the capital.

I don't know what this old duchess is for, she has to be so masochistic?

Wang Yongzhu felt that there were many mysteries in this old lady.

After thinking about it, Wang Yongzhu felt that he still had to meet this old lady in person, and it was better to talk or something.

After all, he received so many things from the old lady, and this other thing, I am afraid that the old lady is not rare, Wang Yongzhu thinks that it is quite appropriate to send some cabbage grown by himself.

Etiquette is light and affection is heavy!

If someone from Song Hong's side asked, she would say that she had grown it in the house, this was the first batch, and she would send it to Grandpa Guo to taste it first.

The Gao family asked Mrs. Wu to send it, and there was no need to tell it, Mrs. Wu naturally knew what to say.

Then he changed his clothes and went to the old lady in person.

Since Wang Yongzhu entered this mansion, except for occasionally going to Gao's courtyard, he has not been to other places in this mansion.

Because Bai Lu said that the old lady's yard happened to be separated from their yard by a garden, it was better to walk through the garden.

Wang Yongzhu also wanted to see the garden of the Guogong Mansion, so he agreed.

With Wang Yongzhu's nod, a mother-in-law had already gone to the garden next to the side door of the courtyard where Wang Yongzhu and the others lived.

When Wang Yongzhu came out, the side door to the garden had been opened, and several mothers-in-law were respectfully guarding the door, and when they saw Wang Yongzhu, they hurriedly came forward to salute.

Wang Yongzhu saw their respectful attitude, so he nodded: "Today, a few ladies are working, and they still have to guard it on such a cold day, give them a few hundred dollars, and let them make pots of wine to warm up their bodies." ”

Bai Lu had already given a purse by herself.

The mothers-in-law called the Buddha in their mouths, thanked Wang Yongzhu with a smile, and said diligently: "This garden is cleaned every morning, and the snow is shoveled clean, so the young grandmother doesn't have to worry about getting her shoes wet." Although the weather is cold and there is nothing to see, there is a plum grove in the northeast corner, planted with evening plums, and it is now in full bloom. If you are interested, you can go shopping. ”

The mothers-in-law who guarded the side gate of the garden were all honest, or they didn't have any face in the house, so they got such an errand without oil and water.

This side door is not opened twice a year, let alone rewarded, so after receiving the reward, I can't wait to offer Wang Yongzhu to my head, just looking forward to getting the blue eyes of this young grandmother, and getting a few more rewards.

Wang Yongzhu said that as soon as he entered the garden, he vaguely smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, listened to the introduction of the mother-in-law, but came to be interested, thanked the mother-in-law, took a few maids and mothers-in-law, and walked over slowly.

Walking far away, I also heard the mother-in-law sigh: "They all say that this young grandmother is from the countryside, I don't think it's like it at all, I think it's more magnificent than the girl and the second young grandmother in our house." This appearance is so showy and kind, such a master and grandmother don't know if she offended those grandmothers who are in charge again, so these words came out. ”

"Grandma is so generous, I counted it, and there are two hundred dollars in this purse! It's almost time to catch up with our monthly money for half a month! There was a surprise from the mother-in-law.

"Really?" Several mothers-in-law lowered their heads to count the purses in their hands, and they all cheered for a while.

Wang Yongzhu listened to the mother-in-law's words, and deliberately went around to the northeast corner, and sure enough, the more he walked in, the more he smelled the fragrant plum.

Bypassing a rockery, you can see the golden eyes full of golden, a tree of golden plum blossoms, like a small golden bell hanging, the flower mouth is facing down, vaguely revealing a little white flower core in the middle.

Next to Bai Lu introduced: "The plum blossoms in our house are also quite famous in the capital, I heard that it was the favorite aunt of the old grandfather, that is, the aunt of the second master of our house loved the plum blossoms, the old grandfather spent a lot of effort back then, planted this plum blossom, what is called Suxin plum, also called Jin Zhongmei." ”

"It is said that when the old grandfather was still there, he often entertained guests in this Merlin. Later, the grandfather of the old country went, and this Merlin gradually became cold. Later, the second master was released, and the old aunt also followed, and this Merlin became more and more deserted. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Lu looked left and right, and then whispered: "I heard from the people in the house that it was because the old lady didn't like the old aunt, so she didn't like this Merlin, so no one came to this Merlin." That is, when the second master returns home every year, the second wife occasionally comes to this Merlin for a turn. ”

"Those gatekeepers don't know the reason for this, and let the young grandmother go here, let's go quickly, otherwise we will go to the old lady in a while, if you smell the plum blossoms on our body, I'm afraid the old lady will be unhappy."

When Wang Yongzhu heard this, he glanced at Bai Lu more, and Bai Lu's little face was nervous.

Wang Yongzhu smiled, not only did he not leave, but he also stepped forward, walked around the merlin, picked two branches and broke them with his own hands, and then slowly signaled Bai Lu to lead the way.

Although Bai Lu has not been serving Wang Yongzhu for a long time, he also knows that his master, his mind is the most determined, and he does not dare to show too much anxiety in his heart, and he has to honestly lead the way in front.

The courtyard where the old lady lives is surrounded by a piece of bamboo, which is very clean.

There are not many people waiting, there are two mothers-in-law at the door, when they saw Wang Yongzhu, they were stunned at first, probably they hadn't seen it, but Bai Lu stepped forward and said: "Two aunts, this is the eldest and youngest grandmother, come to see the old lady." ”

The two mothers-in-law came back to their senses and hurriedly invited Wang Yongzhu to the courtyard.

When I entered the courtyard, someone in the back room greeted her, it was the most trusted grandmother Fang by the old lady's side, seeing the plum blossom in Wang Yongzhu's hand, she couldn't help but jump in her eyelids, and her shock was not suppressed for a while: "The young grandmother is here?" What are you? ”

looked at Wang Yongzhu and the plum blossom in her hand suspiciously.

Although I knew that Wang Yongzhu first came to the house, I didn't know the taboo of this plum blossom, but when I saw this plum blossom, I remembered the old aunt's foxy son, and Mama Fang, as an old lady, was naturally unaccustomed to her confidant, so her tone was not too good.

Wang Yongzhu smiled and waved the plum blossom in his hand: "My mother and I planted some cabbage in the house, and today I am the first batch, and I specially sent it over for the old lady to try it, which can be regarded as our little filial piety." ”
