Zhidong and Xiaogu answered, but they didn't get up immediately, pretending to send Zhong Lingyu away, looking at Zhong Lingyu with a faint look of worry in their eyes.

Mama Yi heard Zhong Lingyu's words, and a flash of joy flashed in her eyes. She turned around and made a gesture of kindness: "Miss, please."

Zhong Lingyu raised his feet to leave, but he heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and the voice that was only at that age came immediately: "Eldest sister, what are you still doing here?" ”

Zhong Lingyu turned around and saw Zhong Lingming walking with a young man wearing a royal blue embroidered moire robe. The two of them were followed by seven or eight subordinates, and the Zhou family and the Wu Mama she sent were also there.

Seeing Zhou nodding at him invisibly, Zhong Lingyu's heart settled down.

She first saluted Sun Xuewen and called "cousin", and then said to Zhong Lingming: "The second aunt said that the old lady was sick and asked me to serve the sick." I was about to send someone to tell you that the tea garden can't go now, so let's go another day. ”

Zhong Lingming frowned. Although he was only eleven years old, he became the eldest male in the family after his father's death, and in the past few days under Zhong Lingyu's teaching, he has grown up rapidly, and naturally understands the importance of picking spring tea for tea merchants. Now it's coming to the Qingming Festival, the best tea buds of the year are rising with the warming of the weather, with the price of tea comparable to gold before the Ming Dynasty, delay for a few days, the loss will be great.

He turned his head to look at Mama Yi. Mama Yi hurriedly stepped forward and repeated the rhetoric just now.

Mrs. Zhong said that she was sick, no matter whether the disease was real or fake, and whether she was her own grandmother or step-grandmother, Zhong Lingming and Zhong Lingyu had to go and greet her.

At that time, Zhong Lingming couldn't help it, so he had to say to Sun Xuewen: "Cousin, I'm sorry, we have to go see our grandmother first." Why don't you go back to your room first, and I'll look for you when I'm free?" ”

Sun Xuewen is only sixteen years old this year, which is the age when he loves to play, but he is forced by his grandfather and father to read at home all day long, and he is depressed. Finally, when the Zhong family sent someone to report the funeral, and there was no suitable person at home to come to mourn, he begged his grandfather and was able to come out to relax. Even if Zhong Lingyu didn't keep it in the past two days, he didn't plan to go back so soon. The tea plantation in Songluo Mountain, he has always wanted to see.

At this time, hearing Zhong Lingming's words, he was helpless, nodded and said, "It's okay, you can go." Saying that, Zhong Lingyu bowed slightly, turned around and walked back.

That Mama Wu can be sent by the Sun family as a representative of the inner house to mourn, so she is naturally a shrewd person. Although the Zhong family is a businessman, the fact that Mrs. Sun can send Sun Xuewen to come in person shows that he still has a love for the Zhong family. Even if Zhong Lingyu didn't deliver the message, when she saw that Dafang was bullied, she still had to reach out to help, not to mention that Zhong Lingyu also asked Zhou to hand over the message and begged her here?

Therefore, without waiting for Sun Xuewen to leave, she smiled and said: "Childe, when the old slave came, the old lady also asked the old slave to go to Mrs. Zhong to say goodbye." This old lady Zhong is not comfortable, and the old slave should go to visit. Or, the old slave will follow the eldest lady over? ”

Sun Xuewen studied hard all day long, and he rarely went to the whole meeting on the affairs of his own house, let alone the family affairs of the Zhong family, who had not been in contact with him for many years. On the way to mourn, he heard Mama Wu mention an ear, saying that his aunt and grandmother Sun had already passed away, and now Mrs. Zhong is filling the house, so after arriving at the Zhong family, she only needs to go to the spirit to put a few pillars of incense, and Mrs. Zhong does not have to go to ask for peace.

At this time, I heard that Mama Wu had changed her words and wanted to go to ask for peace, so he had nothing to do, nodded and said, "You go, greet Mrs. Zhong on my behalf." After speaking, Zhong Lingyu and his sister and brother bowed slightly, turned around and left.

When Mama Yi heard Mama Wu's words, her heart was suddenly overjoyed.

The Sun family, as the maiden family of Mrs. Zhong's original wife, came to the Zhong family to mourn, but did not send someone to say hello to the step-room Liu, which made the Liu family quite faceless. But back then, the Sun family did not agree with Mrs. Zhong to remarry Liu, and later the two families broke off contact, which caused a lot of trouble, and relatives and friends all knew about it. So even if the Liu family wants to talk about this matter, saying that the Sun family doesn't understand etiquette, there is nowhere to go. Because of this, Liu was really depressed for several days.

This will Mama Wu say that she had been ordered by her master to ask the old lady for peace, wouldn't it make Mama Yi overjoyed? When this matter is said, not only does Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Liu have face, but the second and third rooms she has face, right?

At that moment, Mama Yi said happily: "There is an old lady of the Lao Gui family who is worried about the old lady of my family. The old slave thanked the old lady of your family first. Saying that, he blessed Mama Wu.

Zhong Lingyu glanced at Mama Wu, and happened to meet the meaningful eyes she cast.

She nodded politely, stretched out her hand and said, "Mama Wu, please." As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the second room.

When the family was first separated, Mrs. Zhong ordered that the Zhong house be separated directly by a wall. The big room occupies the courtyard on the east side, the second room with Mrs. Zhong lives in the middle side, and the third room lives in the west. In order to facilitate the Zhuang family to go to Mrs. Zhong in the morning and evening, a door was specially left in the house to communicate with the back house of the second room, but the key was in the hands of the Zhuang family, Zhong Lingyu and the housekeeper of the back house, Mama Shang. When Zhong Deqing, Zhong Deting and the others left just now, they walked through that door.

The group walked along the cloister for a while, through the small garden, and after passing the door, they entered the two-room house.

Although the Zhong family is a businessman, Mrs. Zhong also studied when he was young, and he also won the show. Later, there was no hope of going to school, so he gave up writing and became a businessman. Although contaminated with the smell of copper coins, but the reader's feelings are still there, when the mansion was built, Mrs. Zhong gave each courtyard an elegant name, such as Zhong Deqing and the second lady live in the main courtyard called Chunran Hall, Zhong Deting and the third lady is called Xia Yiju, Zhuang lives in Qiuyiju, Zhong Lingyu lives in the courtyard called Dongyue Pavilion......

After Mrs. Zhong died and the three rooms were separated, Mrs. Zhong moved from the Chunran Hall where she originally lived to the courtyard behind the middle slip, which was called Ningxi Hall.

When Zhong Lingyu and his party arrived, Zhuang's and third wife's Kong and others had already arrived, and they were talking quietly in the side room, while Zhong Deqing and Zhong Deting accompanied Lang Zhong to check the old lady's pulse in the main house.

Seeing Zhong Lingyu's sister and brother come in, a sneer flashed in the eyes of the second lady Chen, and said, "Wan'er is here?" You busy man don't go to other things, how can you have time to visit the old lady? ”

Now the emperor rules the world with filial piety, and if Chen's words are spread, it can be described as a punishment.

Mama Wu didn't see the scene when Zhong Deqing forced Zhong Lingyu to hand over the tea garden when she came back from the funeral. If she hadn't heard the second lady's heart-wrenching words as soon as she entered the door, maybe she would just go to Mrs. Zhong to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhong according to the request handed over by the Zhou family, and just give a few words vaguely. After all, she is a subordinate, and Old Lady Sun has no clear instructions, so it is impossible for her to interfere in the family affairs of the Zhong family on her behalf.

But hearing Chen's words, a nameless fire bubbled up in her heart. When the eldest lord died, the second room deceived the head of the big house, and said such heart-wrenching words to the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, and in front of her, the Sun family, this is not to take the Sun family in his eyes! Could it be that the Kong family has a grudge against the things of the year, and as soon as Zhong Deping died, she instructed her son and daughter-in-law to take revenge on the big house?

Thinking of this, she took a few steps forward, glanced at Chen with a smile, and asked, "Dare to ask, this is the second wife of the Zhong family, right?" ”

Mama Yi was shocked when she saw this, hurriedly walked a few steps, walked to the second wife's side and whispered a few words to her. The second wife immediately raised her head in surprise and looked at Mama Wu, inevitably feeling a little remorseful in her heart.

You must know that she was not angry that her husband and daughter were squeezed just now, so she made sarcastic remarks about Zhong Lingyu. Anyway, the big room and the second room just tore their faces. In order to grab the tea plantation, I don't know how many conflicts will arise in the future. What's the point of saying a few nasty words now?

But after all, this is an internal contradiction of the Zhong family, even if it is the head of the Zhong family, it is not easy to meddle. But the Sun family is different. After all, Zhong Deping is the grandson of the Sun family, and the children and grandchildren of the big house are bullied, and the Sun family is bound to help. When the time comes, Zhong Deqing will think about the idea of hitting the Dafang Tea Garden, I am afraid that it will be difficult.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn around and glared at Mama Yi fiercely.
