Chapter 341: A Late Call for Help

Tan Jushi walked into the study lightly, and when he saw the white-haired old man sitting behind the desk, his eyes instantly moistened. Slowly step forward, kneel down and prostrate gently:

"Xuemei has seen the old marquis!"

When the old marquis saw Tan Jushi kneeling, he quickly got up and turned the desk over, stretched out his hand to help Tan Jushi, and said in a loud voice:

"Don't kneel, don't kneel, get up. Hurry up, kid. ”

Tan Jushi, who raised his head, also burst into tears.

The old marquis also helped Tan Jushi with his own hands, this daughter-in-law should be in her early forties, but this gray hair makes people panic when they see it.

After Tan Jushi stood up, he supported the old marquis with his backhand and helped the old marquis to sit down. The old marquis no longer sat behind the desk, but sat on the two chairs on the left side with Tan Jushi. The old marquis wiped his face, then turned sideways and brought a plate of pastries on the side and put them on the middle of the table, and said in a loud voice:

"Arrived early in the morning, haven't you eaten yet? Eat fast, eat fast. It's vegan. Originally, I wanted to go to the nunnery to see you after meeting those two girls today. It must have been Qing'er, this kid sent a letter to you, saying that I was here, right? ”

The words of concern made Tan Jushi burst into tears again. Nodding his head and crying, he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

The old man looked Tan Xuemei up and down, and said:

"Are you used to living here? Your mother is always worried about you. I also built a nunnery at home. Your mother said, if you want, you can go home and practice. At least, I'll take care of you at home. ”

Tan Xuemei took a deep breath and calmed herself down before saying:

"I'm fine here. The nunnery took care of me very much, and after Ziyu got engaged, Nianlan would ask someone to send me something every few days, or come to see me in person. It's not bad here, I'm so tired that my parents are worried that it's mine, but please rest assured that Xuemei is doing well now. ”

The old marquis also knows that this girl is also a tough person, she is reluctant to go back, there are some other reasons, according to the person he sent to take care of her, she is very peaceful now. If she's really what she's asking for. Then go with her heart.

"Okay, then you're doing well! We are also old, and when I and your mother celebrate our centennial, you can also go back and send us off. Kou's family will always be your home! ”

"Yes!"

Tan Jushi burst into tears, looking at the old marquis's white hair, this old man had suffered much more pain than himself, but he still came to comfort himself.

The old marquis stood up, took a box from the table and handed it to Tan Xuemei and said:

"This is up to you. This is broken, and I only found it yesterday. ”

Tan Jushi stood up in surprise, trembling his hands, and took the sandalwood box. Is it your own man's thing? What is it?

Tan Jushi shook his hands, opened them gently, and saw a jade pendant with some stains. This jade pendant she had seen, on the wedding night. Po Yu told her that this jade pendant, which looked like an ordinary jade, was carved by his father when he was born.

He always wore it close to him. He also said... He also said that in the future, when they have children, he will also personally carve a jade pendant for the child, which will definitely be better than his father's carving!

Tan Jushi looked at the jade pendant in his hand, squatted down all of a sudden, and cried loudly! It's all his own incompetence and he didn't leave him a child!

Looking at Tan Jushi who was crying bitterly, the old marquis couldn't help but cry.

Tan Jushi hugged the jade pendant to his chest, slowly stood up and said:

"Old Marquis, you said you found it yesterday?"

"Yes, yesterday, fortunately, the little girl and Qing'er in the merchant, they found it."

After saying that, he told him about finding this jade pendant, which once again caused Tan Jushi to cry loudly. This jade pendant must have been sent back to transfer troops, and it must have been for help. However, it was more than ten years late before it came to the hands of the Kou family!

Is this call for help too late?

The old marquis saw Tan Jushi in the study, and Mrs. Kou and Mrs. Murong in the backyard also knew about it, and they hurriedly welcomed them to the front yard. When I came, I heard that the two merchant girls were also here, but they were still waiting for the summons of the old marquis.

Zhou Yuling, who was following Mrs. Murong Tai, lowered her head, looked at the edge of her skirt, and the handkerchief in her hand was also pinched tighter.

Zhou Yuling didn't expect this matter to come so quickly. From the beginning, she knew that Murong Qing had taken a fancy to Shang Ruonan and wanted to propose marriage, but she didn't dare to stop her from the front, but from the side, she reminded Mrs. Murong from time to time, saying that this was not good.

It's not a good match, and that girl is just a businessman's girl, and that girl is still young, it seems that Mrs. Murong listened to these reasons. But in the end, after Mrs. Tai and Hou Ye had a conversation, Mrs. Murong completely fell to Hou Ye. agreed to this family, not to mention, but also supported the Hou Ye to meet the merchant girl.

Originally, Zhou Yuling had some other ideas, but she had to have time to realize them slowly, but she didn't expect to find that secret room and attract the old marquis.

Zhou Yuling still didn't understand what it was, but when she was waiting for Mrs. Tai to sleep last night, she knew that Mrs. Tai was very happy and excited, and said incoherently, thanks to Miss Shangsi.

If this looks like this, Shang Ruonan will be more and more recognized. If the old Hou Ye recognizes her existence, then her doing Mrs. Hou's business is basically a certainty. Then I don't have a show.

Therefore, Zhou Yuling is very panicked now. We can't let it happen. I must drive this Shang Ruonan away.

Zhou Yuling stood aside, still thinking of a way, but heard a cry of bitterness coming from the study! When I heard it, it was from the layman. It attracted a few people who were watching the scenery on the other side of the garden.

Murong Qing knew that it was the eldest aunt who was crying, so he looked at Shang Nianlan and said:

"Eldest sister, if I don't take you over, you can go and comfort your aunt."

Shang Ruonan stopped it, and now she has heard the whole story of that jade pendant. Choked up and said:

"Don't go! Tan Jushi has been depressed in his heart for more than ten years, and he is depressed. This time, it would be nice if she could cry! At least, it gave her some clarity in her heart! In the future, she will let go of some and be sad, and there will be many times. ”

Several people present were silent, Tan Jushi's matter, they didn't know much about it before, but now they know, but they feel extremely sorry for this woman in their hearts! Hearing Shang Ruonan say this, everyone also nodded.

"Sister, in the future, after you and Kou Ergongzi get married, you have to be filial to this layman, and it is not easy for a woman's life. Her life is not easy! ”

"Hmm!"
