"This is the filial piety of the old men and ladies of your family, and Mrs. Zhong, hello blessing." The Zhong family is interested, and Mama Wu's words are also very beautiful, "My cousin is gone, our old lady heard the bad news, and he was stunned for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses." The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and there is nothing more saddish in the world than this. Old lady, you want to drive some too, don't be too sad. ”

When the old lady heard this, she immediately burst into tears again, and her voice choked up: "Poor Ping'er, why did you get that sick ......?"

Mama Wu sighed: "The most pitiful thing is these children. She pointed to Zhong Lingyu and Zhong Lingming, as well as Zhong Lingzhi, who came over later, "I lost my father at a young age, and the road ahead can be described as difficult." ”

"Not really." The old lady tucked the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and beckoned to Zhong Lingming. Zhong Lingming walked closer, she touched his head lovingly, and said to Mama Wu: "Mama Wu, go back and tell Old Lady Sun, please rest assured." Let's just say that the boss is gone, but I'm still there, and his two brothers are still there, and they will definitely take care of Ming'er and them. ”

Mama Wu nodded: "Old lady, if you say this, I will be relieved." You don't know, people in this world are the most insatiable. How many families, the elder brother died, and the younger brother did not help take care of the orphans and widows, but tried in every possible way to steal his family property. This kind of person, who has lost his conscience, in my opinion, will definitely not die well, and even his wife and children will not end well. ”

Mrs. Zhong's face stiffened, and she peeked at Zhong Deqing, only to see that Zhong Deqing's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and Chen's face was full of anger, glaring at Mama Wu angrily, as if she wanted to swallow her in one gulp!

Old Madam Zhong was afraid that Mama Wu would see Chen's appearance, so she hurriedly took over and said, "Mama Wu, don't worry, there is no such person in our family." The brothers are in harmony, so it's good to have a little relationship. The second and third children all regard these names as their own. ”

The corners of the third wife's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of mockery.

"When I go back, I will definitely tell the old lady to my old lady." When Mama Wu saw that her goal had been achieved, she didn't want to stay longer. She stood up and said to Mrs. Zhong, "Hello, rest, I won't bother you much." With that, he bowed and prepared to withdraw.

Originally, as the main family, Mama Wu left, even if Mrs. Zhong didn't say it, Chen, the housewife, should also send someone to send it. But at this time, the Chen family was eager to slap Mama Wu twice to vent his hatred, where did he care about this stubble? Just pretend not to see it.

Seeing this, Zhong Lingyu didn't wait for Old Madam Zhong to speak, and said, "Chunli, you send Mama Wu out." ”

Mama Wu glanced at Mrs. Zhong with a smile.

Old Madam Zhong suddenly felt a fever on her face. Since Zhong Deqing didn't want to show her ugly appearance in front of the Sun family anymore, she simply acted more generously and said, "I'm fine, don't all of you here, what should you do." ”

Saying that, she turned to Zhong Lingyu, with a loving expression on her face: "The tea garden is going to pick spring tea, right?" Your father is gone, your brother is still young, and you still have to bear this burden. Your second and third uncles also have their own tea gardens to be busy with, and I'm afraid they won't be able to help you much. Okay, you go and get busy, I have your mother and your second and third aunts here, don't worry. ”

When she said this, she was saying that she was in front of Mama Wu to show that her two sons would not bother to encroach on the property of the big house. But after saying that, she felt that it was inappropriate, how could this sound so cold, and hurriedly added: "But how to say that we are all a family, if you have any difficulties, just squeak, your second and third uncles will naturally do their best to reach out and help." ”

"Thank you, grandmother. In this way, we are busy, you take care of yourself. Zhong Lingyu didn't want to stay here longer, so she pulled Zhong Lingming, the sister and brother stood up and saluted, turned around and followed behind Mama Wu, and also left Ningxi Hall. Before leaving, Zhong Lingyu turned around and beckoned to Zhong Lingzhi.

Zhong Lingzhi was about to come out with him, but was pulled by his own mother Du Shi. Du Shi smiled and said to Zhong Lingyu: "When I went back to the room just now, I found that Zhi'er's head was a little hot, and I was afraid that he was cold on the mountain in the morning." Forget it this time, I'll send someone to send him when he's well. ”

Zhong Lingyu looked at her deeply and nodded: "It's okay." Without a superfluous word, he turned around and walked out.

Zhong Lingzhi opened his mouth to speak, but was dragged hard by Du Shi and glared at him, then he pouted and stood there silent.

The Zhong family's tea plantation is in Songluo Mountain. In the early years, Xing Taizu abolished the tribute of group tea and changed it to loose tea. However, the method used for loose tea at that time was still steaming. It wasn't until the monk Daxi of Songluo Mountain Songluo Nunnery in Ba County, Fuling County invented "Songluo Tea", which was stir-fried to make the tea fragrant and fresh, which was very different. Those who had knowledge in Ba County immediately learned this craft, and bought mountain land to plant tea trees in Songluo Mountain, and then sold the tea to Fuling County, Wuling and other places, and the reputation of Songluo tea spread rapidly.

And Mrs. Zhong was the first batch to make a fortune by making pineapple tea. Nowadays, it is difficult to find an acre of tea mountains in Songluo Mountain, and many wealthy merchants in Fuling County can't buy half an acre of tea plantations with silver. This is also the reason why Zhong Deqing tried every possible way to get his hands on the tea garden in Dafang. Even if the title deed of the tea garden is in the hands of Dafang, he has more tea gardens, produces more tea every year, and the space for operation is much larger, and the benefits obtained are not that the price of tea can be calculated clearly.

Bacheng is only about ten kilometers away from Songluo Mountain. By this time, although the rain had begun to fall again, it had become much lighter, and the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and it seemed that it would not be long before it would stop. Zhong Lingyu and his entourage had three carriages, Zhong Lingming and Sun Xuewen took their respective little servants to take one and walked in the front; followed by Zhong Lingyu with a spring and rainfall; The last car sat in the Solstice and Xiaogu and luggage. In addition, there were four guards on horseback who accompanied the procession. At this time, it was Shen Shi, it was still early after dark, and the road was a little muddy, so the carriage moved slowly.

Zhong Lingyu held a hand stove in his hand, covered with a thin blanket under his knees, half leaned on the soft cushions, and closed his eyes slightly to recuperate. was in a daze, when suddenly the car got down, only to hear the coachman's "call", and the carriage slowly stopped.

Zhong Lingyu opened her jade-like eyes and raised her eyes to look out of the car window. At this time, Yuluo had already lifted the curtain and poked out half of his head, and shouted outside in a strange tone: "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

Yuan Haokang, who drove the car, was in his forties, the father of Xiaogu and Yushui, a martial artist, and once served as a dart master in the dart game, but was framed by his peers and went to prison. Zhong Deping wanted to buy two martial arts maids for Zhong Lingyu at that time, but he happened to meet Xiaogu and Shuang Fall who were sold, and when he learned about it, he rescued Yuan Haokang. Yuan Haokang's wife died early, and he depended on his two daughters for his life, and after he was released from prison, he stopped doing it, so he simply joined the Zhong family, and was arranged by Zhong Deping to be Zhong Lingyu's coachman, taking care of her safety.

"The young master's carriage suddenly stopped, as if there were other carriages stuck in the mud in front of them, and they couldn't get through, so the young master and the young master got out of the car to help." Yuan Haokang said loudly in front.

Hearing this, Yuxue turned his face to Zhong Lingyu and asked, "Miss, the slave maid is going to take a look?" ”

Zhong Lingyu nodded.

Yulu jumped out of the carriage and hurried ahead. After a while, she ran back and said to Zhong Lingyu: "In the mud, there are six people, two masters and four servants, and the accent is from Fuling County." They had a total of two carriages, one of which got stuck in the mud, and the young master seemed to know them, and was asking our coachman and the little servant to help them push the cart, and it was estimated that it would be able to pass in a while. ”

"Oh, then wait. You tell Xiaogu about the situation. Zhong Lingyu said.

When the rain fell, he jumped to the carriage behind him and told the maids about the situation.

After a meal, Zhong Lingming's little servant Shengyue ran over and said, "Miss, Sun Gongzi has met his acquaintance in Fuling." The man's surname was He, and with a friend surnamed Yi, he said that he would go to Songluo Nunnery to visit Master Dafang. Sun Gongzi said that since he was on the way, everyone would go on the road together later. ”

Zhong Lingyu nodded: "I know." ”

After Shengyue returned, the carriage in front of him began to move slowly. At this time, the convoy became five, and Zhong Lingyu and the maids and the Zhong family's nursing home walked behind.
