Because the princess came back to worship the ancestors, the status and prestige of the entire Hecheng suddenly rose, and those who had almost cut off contact with each other before came to visit with relatives related to the Chen family, and the Chen family was full of people for a while.

Dealing with another wave of people, Guo Shi, the mother of the Chen family, dusted off the wrinkled sleeves of her clothes that were caught, and smiled coldly.

In the early years, when I wanted to walk around during the New Year's holidays, everyone avoided it, like hiding from the plague god, and now they all surround it like a dog that smells meat, something!

"Mother, my wrists are so sore......"

Chen Peiwen rubbed her sore wrist and coquettishly to Guo's, but got a roll of Guo's eyes.

"I can't stand this tiredness, don't expect to be able to enjoy the life of a master, I think you should not go to the capital, and if you go, you will lose the Chen family."

"Mother, I'm just talking about it! I'm learning the rules very seriously every day, and I don't let people say it, it's too domineering. ”

"Overbearing? Mother is not domineering to you now, do you want to go to the capital to be compared to others and be bullied by others? ”

"No, with my aunt and cousin here, who would dare to bully me."

Chen Peiwen pouted disdainfully, not taking Guo's stern words to heart at all, thinking of the gifts sent by the princess's aunt these days, Chen Peiwen couldn't wait to go to the capital.

His boudoir was stuffed with silk jewels given by the princess's aunt, the simplest silver hairpin, which had never been seen in Hecheng.

The capital is so rich, and the Huaiwang Mansion is so noble, and he will go freely in the future, and he will wake up from his dream when he thinks about it.

Su Yun raised her head slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes staring at the back of Chen Peiwen's head, it is really rotten wood that cannot be carved, this eldest lady of the Chen family went to the Huaiwang Mansion in the capital, and she will not be the opponent of Mingyue's mother and daughter at all.

Guo looked at Chen Peiwen's appearance, knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's mother, and knowing that he would not be able to make his daughter become a shrewd lady of the family for a while, but fortunately, with his own help in planning, it should not be a problem.

There is still half a month before the princess and the princess go to Beijing, and in addition to dealing with the guests who come to the door every day, the only thing left to do is to listen to the arrangements of the princess and the princess to clean up the Chen family and wait for the recovery.

Today's Chen family has a new look of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the masons and carpenters who come in and out of the Chen Mansion have rebuilt and made up for the inner and outer houses of the Chen family, and now the Chen family is the golden phoenix in the eyes of Hecheng people.

"Shizi, a letter from Jingzhong."

Song Zhan took the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg from Su Yu's hand and took out a small note from it.

"Draft early?"

Song Zhan glanced at the gloomy sky, stretched out his hand and gathered his cloak, Jingzhong didn't know if it was going to change the sky.

The order was made for an early draft for no reason, but there was no news in the palace at all, and I really don't know what the saint is thinking today.

"Shizi, the draft is a big deal in advance, and my subordinates will send a message back to Beijing to let people investigate one or two."

"No, this is a flying pigeon book, we can go back to Beijing in half a month, and we don't need to send a message back."

"Yes."

Compared with Xuemei Xuan, whose atmosphere was slightly stagnant, in the Hanlian Garden of Changchun Mansion, Tong Qingyan's master and servant were very relaxed, chatting with blindfolds.

"Miss, the smell of medicine this time seems to be better than last time."

"Last time, you yelled that the medicine smelled heavy, and you felt like you were drinking medicine when you ate, so I made the next adjustment."

"Miss, I feel like I'm almost gone, so you can pick it up."

"Okay, take it off and see how it feels?"

The eye mask made of seven or eight kinds of Chinese medicine is baked on the stove for a short time, and the warm current on the eyes gathers around the eyes, and the heat dissipates and the eyes feel refreshed.

Tong Qingyan repeatedly tried the heat and efficacy of the formula, confirmed the most suitable one, and instructed the slaves and maids who knew how to make some needlework in Hanlian Garden overnight.

"This one is sent to my grandmother's house, this one is my father's and mother's, this one is sent to my uncle and aunt, and this one is sent to my eldest sister and second sister."

"Yes, slaves and maids."

When Shuangxi led someone to send the eye mask to the pine birch garden, Mrs. Tong was eating an afternoon snack.

"Sister An'er has sent something delicious again?"

Old Madam Tong looked at the mushroom fat beef roll that was about to be eaten, smacked her mouth, and looked out of the house expectantly.

"Old lady, you've eaten three servings of this mushroom fat beef roll today......

"Is there one? I remember eating only four or five. ”

Mrs. Tong picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped the juice from her mouth, and her unfinished appearance made people want to taste how delicious the mushroom fat beef roll was.

The original mushroom fat beef roll was just made from minced beef meat pressed into meat bricks, frozen, cut into thin slices of meat, rolled with fresh mushrooms, and placed on the fire to roast.

Tong Qingyan felt that this version of the mushroom fat beef roll was too greasy if she couldn't eat a few pieces, so she adjusted some sauce and poured the sauce on the grilled mushroom fat beef roll, which removed the greasy taste of the barbecue and added a fresh and sweet taste.

Therefore, Mrs. Tong ate chopsticks one after another, and she didn't feel that she had eaten as many as three servings, and Mother Wang was purely worried that the old lady would hold on to eating too much dim sum this afternoon, and it would be a bit embarrassing to pass on the tea.

"Good afternoon, old lady, my young lady has made some eye masks, you ask Mother Wang to help you bake them before going to bed, sleep blindfolded, and your eyes will be much more comfortable on the second day."

"It's not food......

Shuangxi looked up in dismay, not knowing how to react to the disappointed expression on the old lady's face, this old lady is really ......

Mother Wang secretly held her forehead, and after settling her mind, she stepped forward and took the blindfold, and nodded to Shuangxi as a thank you.

After Shuangxi left, Mrs. Tong picked up an eye mask and smelled it, the faint fragrance of herbs lingered on the tip of her nose, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, Mrs. Tong's indifferent eyes lit up, this little granddaughter is the most lovely.

"This child, everything is good, I really don't know whose son's son will have this blessing to marry her in the future."

"The old lady is talking about the third lady? The old slave felt that it was too early to say this at this time, the third lady was only twelve, and the New Year was only thirteen. Besides, the marriage of the eldest lady and the second lady has not been negotiated yet, and the old lady should worry about the two of them if she wants to worry about it. ”

As soon as Tong Manjiao Tong Manjiao was mentioned, the joy in Mrs. Tong's eyes faded, and she always thought that the two daughters-in-law were worry-free, so many years of calm and calm, but I didn't expect that a princess Huai would stir up the storm in the hearts of some people.

Looking at the master with a cold face, Mother Wang sighed, the old lady was really angry, but because of the unspeakable debt, she kept holding back, hoping that the second lady Tong could wake up sooner.

"Do you want to wait a little longer?"

"Huh? Oh, yes. The old slave heard that the second lady had gone out a few times these days, and they were all well-known people in Changchun Mansion, but the second lady's tone to the outside world had never been relaxed. ”

"Ignorance, stupidity, why didn't I find out that this Zhou's heart is so big before."

"The old lady can't say that, after all, it's for the mother's heart, and the second lady hopes that the eldest lady and the second lady will marry better, which is understandable."

"What is there to forgive! There's nothing wrong with marrying well, when did I stop it, but look at her, after Princess Huai left, so many good people came to visit and invite to the banquet, and she still held it, what did she want to do? ! Is it possible to expect his daughter to be the queen! ”

"Old lady......"

"Okay, okay, don't mention them, just stop your heart when you mention them, and bring me two more mushroom fat beef rolls."

“......”

Just when Wang's mother was about to persuade the old lady not to eat meat anymore, the old man Tong, who was supposed to be in the yashang, came back in a hurry and went straight to Songhua Garden.

"Huaiyuan is here? It's over, this meat is really not edible. ”

Mother Wang waited for the old lady to clean her hands, welcomed the waiting old man Tong into the house, and was on duty outside the house as usual.

Tong Huaiyuan was pacing back and forth with a note in the house, and Mrs. Tong watched him turn around for a long time without saying a word or urging, and drank two sips of tea with determination.

"Mother, I really don't know what to say, see for yourself."

Tong Huaiyuan, who failed to organize the language, decided to hand over the note and let Mrs. Tong read it for herself, but was ruthlessly rejected.

"I don't look at it, after entrusting you with the truth back then, I will make it clear, I will be a deep house woman from now on, and the wind and waves outside are blocked by you for me, since I don't know what to say, then you can deal with it yourself."

Tong Huaiyuan touched his nose, revealing an aggrieved expression that violated his age, knowing his mother's temperament, the note was finally withdrawn into his arms.

"Say, I've never seen you so flustered, what's wrong with Kyori?"

"Hey, I can't hide after all."

"How so?!"

Mrs. Tong paused with her hand holding the teacup, opened her eyes incredulously, looked at her son who was pinching his long beard, and her heart could not be calm for a long time.

After so many years of trying to be in a corner of peace, and after so many years of peaceful life, it is actually coming to an end?

"Mother, news has come from Beijing, and the draft is a year ahead of schedule."

"Why so suddenly?"

"My son didn't know, and the letter didn't mention it."

"Sister An's marriage ......"

"It's useless, I'm going to be transferred back to Beijing to take up a post. Not only Sister An can't escape, but even Sister Jiao'er and Sister Jiao'er are also on the list, mother, son is useless, and I have to rely on my mother in the future to be sure to protect my Tongfu. ”

Tong Huaiyuan knelt down straight, looking at his far-reaching and white-haired mother, and was very depressed in his heart.

I thought that I could work hard to protect the people I wanted to protect, I could support my mother in old age, I could see my daughter find a lover and live a happy life, and I watched my new Lin'er grow up safely, but now I want to go to that dangerous capital.

After being stunned for a long time, Mrs. Tong put down the cold tea cup and deeply doubted whether her mouth was open.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. You don't need to be so upset, get up. It will take a few days until the edict comes down, and you will still be on an errand these days, don't show your clues, Wen Zhou's side, I'll talk about it. ”

"Bothered my mother."

After Tong Huaiyuan left, Mrs. Tong looked at the empty room and let out a long sigh.

The various encounters in a person's life are one coincidence after another, and the so-called no coincidence is not a book, probably like this.
