Mrs. Xie knelt on the lotus futon in front of the Buddha and recited the Heart Sutra over and over again.

In the past two days, Mrs. Xie has never been able to sleep at night.

She dreamed of some old things, some old people.

Obviously, so many years have passed since those old events, but in her mind, she still remembers them deeply, as if they happened yesterday.

Old Madam Wu sat on the ebony chair beside her, watched Old Madam Xie kneel on the futon in front of the Buddha, sighed, and said.

"I know that you have not had a good time over the years, and those things in the past, you should forget them! After all, Danniang has been gone for more than ten years, and now that you have Jinniang by your side, everything will be fine in the future. ”

Mrs. Wu first comforted Mrs. Xie a few words, and then talked about her own affairs.

"The marriage between Youyun and Liang Wangfu was confused by Youyun's stepmother, Xiaosun. A few days ago, Mama Zhou, who was waiting by the side of the princess, came to Qiantang, saying that she was an old acquaintance in the palace, and she missed me in her heart, so she came to see me. ”

"Mama Zhou told me on the first day she lived in the mansion that Youyun's stepmother, Xiao Sun, had invited her cousin to go to the Liang Wangfu to talk to the matchmaker, saying that the Wu family not only had Youyun and one girl, but also Youlan Youruo and two girls, and her maiden cousin said that Youlan Youruo and the two girls were very good."

"Mama Zhou told me that the princess was already a little moved, saying that she wanted to see the three girls with her own eyes, and then choose a good one among the three girls. After Youyun found out, he immediately went to Xiao Sun's house, and had a quarrel with Xiao Sun, making Xiao Sun so angry that he lay on the couch, and he didn't recover for a few days and nights. ”

Old Madam Wu said this, and sighed a few more times.

"You were also born in the Hou Mansion, and you were also raised in the palace, you used to have quite an idea, why don't you have an idea now?"

Old Madam Xie was supported by Mama Fang, got up from the futon, and sat down on the ebony chair beside Old Madam Wu.

Old Madam Wu didn't speak, only sighed.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

"I used to be young and vigorous, even if something happened, there was the Hou Mansion behind me to support me, and at that time, my father and mother were there, so I naturally had no scruples in my heart."

"Now that I'm old, the Hou Mansion is also in charge of my eldest brother, even if something happens to me, the Hou Mansion won't take care of me, unlike you, who is now in the Hou Mansion of Rong'an, but your eldest brother."

"The Hou Mansion is not behind me to support me, and now I have to take care of Youyun, so naturally I can't fall out with the Xiaosun family."

If people are old, they are always worried about this, this and that.

There is no more chic and wanton when I was young.

Old Madam Xie naturally knew what Old Madam Wu was embarrassed about.

"Jiaqian, let's talk about it! How do you want me to help you? The old princess of Liang Wangfu, you and I are old acquaintances, if you and I ask in front of the old princess, maybe the marriage between Youyun and Liang Wangfu can be officially finalized. It's just that I'm worried about ......"

As she spoke, Old Madam Xie paused.

"What are you worried about?" Old Madam Wu chased after and asked.

Hearing Mrs. Wu's question, Mrs. Xie replied.

"You also know that the old princess's body has not been very good over the years. Last time you and I went back to Jinling, I saw the old princess once, and the old princess's body and bones were not very good. ”

"Now I hear the news from the Hou Mansion that it is the old princess, I am afraid that it will not be done, and it will be a matter of the end of the year. I wonder if she still has the strength to help you?"

Old Madam Wu's heart suddenly sank.

The old princess is Youyun's last straw.

If the old princess is gone, she really doesn't know who to ask for.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Wu started crying, leaning on Old Madam Xie's shoulder, wiping her tears.

"Old sister, you said that if the old princess is gone, who should I beg...... My Youyun still has to get married! I still have to marry into the Liang Palace! ”

Seeing the crying in the Buddhist hall, Mama Fang and Yuan Niangzi hurriedly retreated from the maids and servants who were waiting outside the Buddhist hall.

In the small Buddhist hall, only Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Wu were left.

"Jiaqian, you relax! Without the old princess, there is still the Hou Mansion, and Ouchi! Both of you and I grew up under the knees of the eldest lady, and now that she is still alive, she will never ignore you and me. ”

When Mrs. Xie was still the concubine of the Marquis of Rong'an, she entered the palace and was raised in the palace.

The Cao family, who was still the queen at the time, liked Mrs. Xie very much, and Mrs. Xie also won a lot of rewards from the Cao family.

After the death of the first emperor, the Cao family supported the current official family to succeed to the throne.

Cao is 70 years old this year, and he is still not deaf, blind, or dizzy.

When I used to live in the city of Tokyo, every New Year's Day, Mrs. Xie would enter the palace to worship Xie Cao's family.

But now Mrs. Xie is old and her physical strength is gone, and she rarely goes to Tokyo.

"The eldest lady has always appreciated you, if you ask for the front of the eldest lady, the eldest lady will definitely be the master for you and me!"

Old Madam Wu said this, and Old Madam Xie nodded.

Today, Mrs. Wu brought Wu Youyun over.

Knowing that the Xie family had distinguished guests and relatives and friends staying temporarily, Mrs. Wu did not bother the Luo family, and went directly to see Mrs. Xie.

And Wu Youyun went to Qingluo Courtyard and found Xie Yunjin, and the two sisters were good at catching up together.

Wu Youyun didn't know that the reason why Old Madam Wu led her over today was for her life's event.

In the small hall of Qingluo Courtyard, Xie Yunjin asked Ruxiang and Yuelan to put a table of candied fruits and some delicate snacks.

"I know that you love to eat xiaolongbao in the small study of Beishan Temple in Hangzhou City, and I know that you are coming over today, early this morning, I asked Ruxiang to go to Hangzhou and buy it for you."

"You can taste it quickly, but it still suits your taste, it is stuffed with leeks and eggs, I heard that it is new to their family."

As Xie Yunjin spoke, he sandwiched a small longbao for Wu Youyun, and began to look at Wu Youyun in front of him.

Wu Youyun combed a simple falling horse bun today, and a pair of butterfly hairpins inlaid with gold and jade were on his hairpin, and the eyes of the butterflies were also inlaid with two small glowstones the size of rice grains.

At night, the butterfly will be weighed and sparkling.

It's very beautiful!

Wu Youyun wore a dark pattern gown with begonia red hibiscus camellia gardenia today, and a pomegranate skirt embroidered with bamboo blue embroidered dark green honeysuckle inlaid with pearl rice grains.

"The hair-combing lady in your house, has it changed? I remember that your fallen horse bun in the past is not as delicate and small as today, as well as the pair of butterfly hostas inlaid with gold and jade, the color of the jade, and it looks like Mrs. Wu's dowry! ”

Xie Yunjin had a smile on his face, and pointed to the gold-inlaid butterfly jade hairpin on Wu Youyun's hairpin.

Wu Youyun originally wanted to take it out today to show off, but he didn't think about it, and he was recognized by Xie Yunjin, a girl, at a glance.

Xie Yunjin, this girl, really had a pair of fiery eyes.

"Yes! This pair of butterfly hostas inlaid with gold and jade is indeed the dowry that my grandmother brought from the Hou Mansion, originally my stepmother saw it, and went to my grandmother several times, wanting to find my grandmother to go, but my grandmother didn't give it, what can she do? When she saw me wearing it this morning, I looked at her with a red eye! ”

Wu Youyun said, with a look of meaning.

It's just a pair of hairpins, what is there to be proud of, so showy.

Today, Wu Youyun is accompanying Mrs. Wu over, Mrs. Wu is already in the small Buddha hall, and she has been talking to her grandmother for so long, why hasn't she come out?

Xie Yunjin felt strange, beckoned Rue Xiang, and prepared to let Rue Xiang go to Shou'an Hall to have a look, what the hell is going on?

She felt that Old Madam Wu brought Wu Youyun over today, and it might not be as simple as it seemed.

Xie Yunjin asked Yuelan to put the candied fruit in front of Wu Youyun.

"You taste this! Dried plums, although a little salty and sour, but knowing that you love sour, you know that you will definitely like it! ”

Listening to Xie Yunjin's words, Wu Youyun was also unceremoniously, picked up a small black plum, tasted it, it was indeed very sour, and hurriedly asked for a cup of tea, and passed it over his mouth.

"You little girl! I like to eat sour, so you don't have to take this sour black plum out, right? What if I lose my tooth, but you pay for it?"

Wu Youyun finished speaking, got up and walked towards Xie Yunjin, ready to twist her ears.

Xie Yunjin didn't shy away from it, just waiting for her to come over.

"People say sour and spicy girls, sour and spicy girls, if you are pregnant with a child in the future, you will definitely be a son! I'll have to play then! ”

"Xie Yunjin, you little girl! Now that I'm not married, I can't say anything about it, but what if it doesn't work?"

Wu Youyun said cautiously.

What happened to the Wu family these days, Xie Yunjin more or less listened to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie said that Wu Youyun's marriage was almost ruined by Wu Youyun's stepmother, Xiao Sun.

Knowing that Mrs. Wu intended to marry Liang Wangfu and marry Wu Youyun to Liang Wangfu, Wu Youyun's stepmother Xiao Sun picked up her mother's relatives and went to Liang Wangfu in Jinling in person.

It is said that there is not only one Wu eldest girl in the Wu family, but also the second and third Wu girls.

Wu Youyun's two sisters, Xie Yunjin has also seen them, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps!

Presumably, seeing that Wu Youyun was about to marry and go to the Liang Palace, he was ready to disturb Wu Youyun's marriage.

Today, Mrs. Wu brought Wu Youyun over to discuss with her grandmother.

Listening to the news handed over by Mama Fang, Mrs. Wu was ready to borrow her grandmother and begged the old princess of Liang to let the old princess fulfill the marriage.

It's just that the old princess of Liang has been getting worse and worse over the years.

Mama Fang said that the old princess has only been alive for the past two years.

If the old princess is gone, and Princess Liang Chai is the royal family of the previous dynasty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to look down on Wu Youyun, who has been out of service since childhood.

Although Wu Youyun has been raised in Mrs. Wu's house since he was a child, he was raised by Mrs. Wu herself, and she has the Marquis of Bowang Mansion behind her to rely on.

But without his biological mother, I am afraid that when he was born here, Wu Youyun will be left behind.

No matter how the second son of the Liang family falls in love with Wu Youyun at first sight, no matter how much he likes Wu Youyun, is it possible that he can go against Princess Liang's will and marry Wu Youyun and return home?

If the second son of Liang can do it, he can still give it a go.
