There is almost fifty miles to Yuyang, fortunately, Yuyang is a place where businessmen are entrenched, the road is wide and flat, and the carriage can run to fly, and it will be there in one day.

Although the curfew is observant throughout the country, the Mu family is a big household in Yuyang, and the guards should not be able to see Afu's carriage passing towards the Mu house.

As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Mu, accompanied by Mu Jinyao and Mu Jinshao, stood in the middle with tears in her laughter.

Two huge red lanterns hung from the door frame, reflecting everyone's faces.

Afu got out of the carriage, and when she saw the familiar face, she couldn't stop her tears, she just felt as if hundreds of years had passed, and she couldn't help but throw herself on Mrs. Mu's knees and cry: "Godmother..."

Mrs. Mu's tears also fell uncontrollably, and she bent down to help Afu: "Get up, Sister Fu, come quickly, let's go into the house!" ”

Jin Heng is the fourth in line, and there are two brothers-in-law and a brother-in-law, and the brothers-in-law are Jin Yao and Jin Shao, who are currently accompanying Mrs. Mu.

Master Mu has been in the wind since he was young. Liu, now he has put on a house openly, and he almost never goes home, and most of the huge family business is borne by Jin Yao and Jin Shao, which can be said to be young and promising.

Afu stood up, greeted the two brothers, and got into the small sedan chair--- the Mu family's house was too big, and they all used sedan chairs in the courtyard.

Afu's sedan chair and Mrs. Mu's side by side, Mrs. Mu looked at Afu with tears in her smile, holding Afu tightly with one hand, Afu's body leaned over halfway, although she was tired, but the godmother was so intimate, she was also comfortable.

As soon as I entered the house, there was a servant who brought a tray, full of Afu's favorite snacks, crispy openings, fragrant and fragrant, as well as tender cherries and lychees... It's all rare things that shouldn't be there at this time.

There were also four bamboo tubes next to it, and Afu's eyes lit up: "Xiaoxiang tea!" ”

This is a local snack in Yuyang, she hasn't been back to Yuyang for a long time, and she has no time to stay with Huan Nian, she almost forgot about such a snack.

Take a fresh bamboo tube, pour in hot jasmine tea and let it cool, add tapioca particles, and add some seasonal fruits--- Afu's favorite is grapes.

Hold half of the bamboo tube, sit on the straw rope swing, and listen to the tinkling of the stream, this is where the pleasure of Yuyang in the north and south of the Yangtze River lies.

Although jasmine tea is everywhere, and small tapioca particles are not a rare thing, it is a great test of the craftsmanship of the person who made it.

Mrs. Mu smiled, handed the bamboo tube to Afu, and put two coreless lychees in her: "The grapes sold in Yuyang these days are not good, so I didn't buy them for you, tomorrow my godmother will send someone to buy them on the street, I have to buy them for my sister Fu!" ”

Jin Yao took two bamboo tubes, divided a cup with his younger brother, and said with a smile: "Sister Fu, from the point of view that you want to go home, A-Niang is busy day by day, and I don't know that I think this is the princess coming!" ”

Afu smiled: "Brother Jin Yao is not quick to reflect and introspect, how can A-Niang only like Afu?" It's not that my brother doesn't stick to my godmother's heart! ”

Jin Yao was dumbfounded, Jin Shao looked at him and smiled: "As soon as the eldest brother meets Fumei, he will suffer some dumb losses all day long!" ”

Mrs. Mu was happy: "These two fools are not as good as my little finger!" Aph, you're at a coincidence! Your happy sister will come to the house tomorrow! ”

Afu was so happy that she stood up and sat down again: "Really? Ah! I don't want to be able to come back with my sister Huan Nian! That's nice! ”

That night, the mother and son lived in the same room.

The Mu family is so rich that the emperor is far away, and he is overtaken everywhere. For example, Mrs. Mu's bedroom, which is carved and painted, is actually made of pepper paste, which is changed every year.

This year has just been changed, and the room is filled with a fresh aroma.

The bed she slept on was made of red rosewood, and the Siamese craftsmen invited were very particular about the hollowing, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Although it is spacious enough, not to mention the two, it is no problem to add a few, but after all, it is old. The maid was afraid that Mrs. would disturb her sleep by sleeping in the same bed with Afu, so she placed Afu on the small couch next to the bed, with a height difference of about ten centimeters, which reminded Afu of the small cradle in front of Qingyan's bed.

Blowing out the lamp, the two of them talked a few words for a while. In all fairness, Afu's temperament is very similar to that of Mrs. Mu, and if she were the same age, she would definitely be a pair of confidants.

Afu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Godmother, is Uncle Mu still so homeless?" ”

Mrs. Mu said: "Alas, he, if he doesn't come back, he won't come back." After so many years, I am also dead. ”

“.. How does your husband treat you? The person who came to deliver the letter that day reported his message, and I think he was good to you, right? Mrs. Mu said softly.

Afu's throat was astringent, and after a while, she still couldn't hold back, lying on the edge of Mrs. Mu's bed, and whispered: "Godmother, I.... I really always thought I would be your daughter-in-law. ”

She sniffed: "I'm sorry, godmother..."

In the darkness, Mrs. Mu's eyes lit up. She touched Afu's face: "In the godmother's heart, you and your brother Mingyan have long been my biological children, don't you feel sorry for the godmother, you brothers and sisters are happy, and the godmother's heart is sweeter than anyone else." ”

Afu threw her head into the arms of her godmother, she rarely did this to her biological mother, and always felt that she was closer to her godmother and nurse than to her mother.

Mrs. Mu moved in and asked her to lie down: "Come, tell my godmother, is Master Pei good to my sister?" If it's not good, the godmother chops the wine with a kitchen knife! ”

Afu "fluttered" and smiled: "Godmother, people are generals, they can walk faster than you, and they can pick up the two of you with one hand!" ”

Mrs. Mu also smiled: "So what? Okay, tell your godmother quickly, the letter sent by your sister Huannian is vague, how are you two doing, godmother doesn't know anything! ”

Thinking about the New Year, Afu sighed secretly, just afraid that she wanted to report good news and not bad news. Huan Nian married Mingjun, it was really unlucky.

"My husband is a straight-hearted person, he is good to me, but he can't express it, when I first got married, I cried angrily for three days."

Mrs. Mu hugged her: "Okay, it's okay to be good to you, what the people around you do to you, you don't have the original intention, listen?" No one grows in your heart, and people don't know what our Fumei likes, right? If what our Fumei likes, everyone knows, wouldn't it be better for one or two to offer their hospitality and tear off the osmanthus trees across the country? ”

Afu likes osmanthus, and in the past, whenever the osmanthus was fragrant, Jin Heng would indeed give her all the osmanthus flowers.

Mrs. Mu said casually: "How about your Huannian sister and your eldest brother?" She suddenly said she was going home, which startled me. ”

Afu was apprehensive, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not. After hesitating and hesitating, he decided to omit the big brother's part, and just talk about the place where his aunt was not worried: "Godmother, you also know my mother's temperament, she just doesn't know that she feels sorry for her daughter-in-law." A talent like my sister Huannian, who is put in someone's house, is not the master mother who was married by the ancestors, but my aunt..."

Mrs. Mu patted her hand: "Okay, Godmother knows." It's okay, it's okay to see people's hearts over time. "It's like comforting Afu, but it's more about comforting yourself.

"I'll pick up my sister at the city gate tomorrow, and by the way, our sisters will also visit the small shops in the city."

Mrs. Mu said: "Okay, she thinks it will arrive tomorrow, if there is a curfew, don't panic, just say that you are a girl from the Mu family, and the city guards are all dotted." ”

Afu responded, and Mrs. Mu said again: "Jin Qing has always been away from home these days, saying that he went to the academy, but the godmother doesn't believe it, this bastard can study, and the pigs are going to go up the tree." You pick up your sister tomorrow and go to the academy to have a look. ”

Jin Qing is the youngest son of Mrs. Mu, who is only fifteen years old this year.

Afu smiled: "Why doesn't my godmother believe in my brother?" Lu Meng is not allowed to study anymore, is he? ”

On the second day, Huan Nianguo arrived at the end of the day, and when he saw Afu, he was very surprised, but he couldn't hide the tiredness between his eyebrows: "Afu? How did you get here? ”

Afu looked at her expression, worried that her brother and A-Niang didn't know what to do, so she casually said a few perfunctory words, helped Huan Nian into the car, and asked carefully, "Sister, but what happened at home?" ”

Huan Nian insisted that it was okay, but Afu repeatedly pressed to ask, and she suddenly threw herself on Afu's shoulder and cried: "Your brother... Your brother isn't a bad guy..."

Afu was stunned, this is a good thing?

After Huan Nian was quiet, Afu helped her up and said softly: "Then why is my sister crying?" ”

Huan Nian laughed miserably, and his voice was cold to the bone: "He is actually a man who only does things." ”
