Seeing him like this, Luo Sicheng felt that there was no sense of accomplishment in bullying a child, so he pursed his lips, half-bent over, and said to him sharply: "Your name is Liu Yu?" The General's Mansion next door is your father's home, do you want to go back to find your father? ”

Lu Hong didn't listen to him say this, he was so anxious that he still cried, and hurriedly covered Yu'er's ears, and said in shame: "Uncle is talking nonsense, even if you don't want to take it in, don't coax the child, he doesn't understand anything." ”

Luo Sicheng was slightly stunned, she even hid her son? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, either she really doesn't want her son to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, or she is trying to make greater interests, and the comparison between the two is a little incomprehensible. Suddenly suspicious, a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, since she was so scheming, it was better to push her. But looking at the rain, he felt embarrassed, and thought about it: "You don't want to sign the deed, and I can't take you in so unexplained, or else, build a wall in the west right corner, split a small courtyard and rent it to you, there is a corner door over there, and it is convenient to enter, what do you think?" ”

This method is good, but Lu Hong hesitated, he could earn a few copper plates a day and could only barely fill his stomach, where could he find this rent?

"It doesn't work on the left, it doesn't work on the right, my temple is small, you better find another place to live." Luo Sicheng looked at her hesitation and said impatiently.

Lu Hong was forced by this, gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement in silence.

Whew, white and black paper, two lease deeds, one each.

However, Luo Sicheng kept an eye on it, and the deed stated that the tenant and seller were Liu Yu, the son of Liu Dawu in Yangshu Village, Baishui Town, Taiyuan.

Neither of them paid attention, although Yu'er was small, she understood the conversation of the adult, and secretly remembered that her father was the general of the general's mansion next door.

At this time, Ah Da finally brought back the news that Luo Sicheng had been waiting for for a long time.

"Young master, Lord Gu said that if you want to stay in Beijing to take up a job, you have to be a little restless, and there will be news in less than half a year, but Lord Gu also said that according to your qualifications, he personally suggested that it is best to go out for a few years, and it is not too late to accumulate some merits and then transfer back to Beijing."

Luo Sicheng also knows that it is difficult to find errands in Beijing, and it is the best way to release them. Can leave Beijing...... Wouldn't it be further away from her?

After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Let me think again." ”

……

The door creaked open.

Mama Tang poked her head out, looked at her gray face, her face sank, and her gaze couldn't help but be a little dignified, "Come in and talk." ”

Zhou Ximei didn't have time to think about it, nodded at her, stretched her neck and looked at the wing.

"Madame just drank the medicine and rested, this day is cold and hot, a little careless will catch cold and fever, if you have something to say, tomorrow Madame wakes up, I will convey it."

It was not yet dark, and the lights were already lit in the house, so how could I fall asleep? It's just an excuse not wanting to see her.

Zhou Ximei's heart was heavy, because she was in a hurry, she didn't have time to chat with her daughter in a hurry, thinking about the thin little face, her heart was like a pinprick, and her wife didn't want to see it, so she pulled Mama Tang to speak: "The day in May is like this, hot and cold, Mrs. Xiao's body is weak, since she sleeps, she doesn't need her aunt to serve beside her, so she might as well have a cup of tea with me." ”

Mama Tang glanced at the closed side room, answered, and dragged her to the side room to the west.

This small courtyard is the place where Sun Xiaoyun temporarily rents in Luoyang, and it is only one street away from the Hongxing Building in Dongshi.

As soon as she entered the house, Zhou Ximei knelt down directly to Mama Tang, and tears couldn't help but welling up in her eyes, "Auntie is very gracious, my Zhou Ximei can only repay this kindness by making cattle and horses in the future, and I hope that my aunt will say more good things in front of Mrs. and find my lost son for me." ”

"It's all a mother's heart, I can understand, get up and don't cry?" Mama Tang looked at her and sighed, personally stepped forward to help her up, sat on the chair, and then said softly: "Didn't you say to go to see your daughter?" What's the matter, the Lin family won't let you see it? ”

Zhou Ximei nodded again and again, shook her head and said: "I am timid, how dare I see the Lin family, I happened to meet the Lin family's son getting married and holding a happy event, and I went into the house while there were many people, but I met with my daughter." ”

Mama Tang couldn't help but smile and said, "It's a good thing to be able to see it." I don't hide it, my wife's husband's ancestral home is Taiyuan Baishui Town, so I have already heard a little about the Lin family, I heard that the Lin family girl is not only beautiful, kind, and her cooking skills are even better, which has attracted the admiration of many men, among which General Shenyu is the most infatuated one, and directly asked the emperor for marriage, which has become a good story. ”

Zhou Ximei was stunned, Lin Mei once went to Beijing to try her cooking skills in the limelight, and it is understandable for some people to praise it, but she also wants to be so loved. Recalling the past, he smiled bitterly: "Whose woman is not raised in the boudoir and does not know the world, but she is good, she is competitive everywhere, you don't know her ruthless means, as long as there is a chance, she will bully the weak, and the ability to hook up with men is even more despicable and vicious." As a stepmother, I naturally can't get used to her style, so I wanted to persuade her, but my stepmother was embarrassed to ......"

Thinking about this past will only make people feel depressed, not to mention that there is only hatred in Zhou Ximei's eyes now!

Through the jumping candle flame, Mama Tang looked at her in surprise and said, "My lord is full of praise for this Lin family girl, praising her for being knowledgeable, empathetic, and pretentious. I thought that such a wonderful man must have come from a good family, but when you say this, I think that those praises are but hearsay, and they cannot be counted. ”

Who knew that Zhou Ximei was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Your lord's ancestral hometown is Baishui Town, which family is from?" ”

"The Xiao family in Baishui Town, my lord is the second lang of the Xiao family."

It's him! Zhou Ximei was shocked, she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

"What, you know my master?!"

Zhou Ximei nodded, and simply confessed: "How can you not know that the second master of the Xiao family was a fairy-like genius in our town back then, and he even almost became the son-in-law of the Lin family when he said something unpleasant." ”

This is exactly what Mrs. Xiao said at the beginning.

But Mama Tang pretended not to know, opened her mouth slightly as if she had heard a shocking news, and looked shocked, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and said with a cold face: "Then why didn't it work out later?" ”

Zhou Ximei looked at Mama Tang and was angry, and somehow felt relieved, and thought about it, "At that time, Second Master Xiao was indeed interested in Lin Mei, and I saw that Master Lin agreed with it, and later there were some bad rumors from the Xiao family, and I never saw Second Master Xiao come to the door again, and this family matter was over." ”

Mama Tang hurriedly got up: "You sit down for a while, I'll go up to the room and take a look, I'm afraid that Mrs. will wake up and drink tea." ”

Zhou Ximei knew that she was going to go back, such a big news, if it was spread, she was afraid that Mrs. Xiao would not be able to hold her face, so she nodded and urged.

Mama Tang hurriedly went to the upper room, but after a while, she turned back with a sad face.

"But Mrs. Xiao woke up?" Zhou Ximei took the initiative to care, but she was guessing Mrs. Xiao's attitude after she found out.

"I woke up, but I drank tea and fell asleep again." Mama Tang smiled bitterly when she heard this.

Zhou Ximei raised her eyebrows, if it weren't for her unwillingness to contaminate the Lin family?

Mama Tang changed the topic and continued: "By the way, didn't you ask Mrs. to inquire about the whereabouts of your two sons for you, I have some eyebrows here, but it's not good news, do you want to hear it?" ”
