Mrs. Sun gossiped a few more words with Mrs. Sun, and Mrs. Sun looked back at Yingchun and said, "Ying'er, you can arrange a place for your aunt and your sister to stay, it's better to be closer to me." ”

Yingchun thought about it and owed a debt, "Mother, there is only a small cross courtyard in the north and a residence next to Aunt Zheng in the west courtyard, and there are three or four rooms on both sides, but the daughter-in-law thinks that the west courtyard is far away from you, or the north courtyard is more appropriate, I don't know what my mother wants?" ”

Old Madam Sun nodded, "You just let Sun Xi's family take people to clean up the North Courtyard, so that they can be more nimble." ”

Yingchun responded, and Mrs. Sun turned her head to look at Mrs. Gu and said with a smile: "My sister will tell me before she comes next time, so as not to be so busy, it seems to be scorning my sister." ”

The old lady smiled: "What did my sister-in-law say?" We are all family, so why bother to see outside. I also received a letter from the Wang family, so I rushed here with Cai'er, and the old lady of the Wang family said that she was sick and looked bad, and she wanted to take advantage of Cai'er and their eldest son's family affairs to rush to Chongxi. ”

When Mrs. Gu said this, her eyes involuntarily turned to Yicai behind her, Yicai's face flushed, and she lowered her head.

Mrs. Sun laughed, "Cai'er is not young, it would be better to marry earlier." ”

At this time, a girl reported: "The master is back." ”

The little girl lifted the curtain, and Sun Shaozu walked in.

Sun Shaozu entered the house and gave a salute to Mrs. Sun, who was busy saying, "Look at your aunt." Sun Shaozu gave a salute to Mrs. Gu again, and Mrs. Gu looked Sun Shaozu up and down, and clapped her hands: "Zu'er is already so old, the last time I saw him, it was when Zu'er was more than ten years old." Sister-in-law, even if this is on the street, no one will introduce it, how will I know that this is Zu'er. ”

Sun Shaozu bowed and smiled slightly, but it was hard to say anything. Mrs. Gu was busy introducing Yicai to Sun Shaozu, Yicai came over and gently gave Sun Shaozu a salute, Sun Shaozu hurriedly said: "Sister doesn't have to be polite." Yicai half-hung her head, and when she saw Sun Shaozu's pair of high boots, her heart suddenly moved. The third cousin has never seen it himself, and looking at this pair of official boots, his bearing is extraordinary. Thinking of this, Yicai's face suddenly turned red and hurriedly retreated.

The room was full of people laughing and talking, and only Yingchun saw everything.

Mrs. Sun ordered the meal to be set, and Yingchun and the second lady arranged the meal. Mrs. Sun said to the second master and Sun Shaozu: "Your aunt is not an outsider, let's not be so restrained today, and your brothers don't have to avoid going out, just eat here for a while." ”

The second master and Sun Shaozu hurriedly came down.

Everyone had dinner at Mrs. Sun's, and Mrs. Sun sent someone to send Mrs. Gu and Miss Yicai back to the small courtyard in the north. The old lady left, and the old lady Sun sent the second master and the second lady and the two girls and children to retreat, leaving Sun Shaozu and Yingchun.

Mrs. Sun was half-lying on the couch, "Zu'er, your aunt is here, and she didn't even give us a letter beforehand, although I am also a little displeased, but after all, it is your father's sister-in-law." Since your uncle's death, their mother has lived a normal life, only renting Botian to others, barely making ends meet. In previous years, I also helped them, and later, your aunt was a very strong woman, holding silver, but doing it on the surface. When she came to our house, she also said how good her house was. As the days go by, I don't help anymore. That's all old talk. Zu'er, don't you know whose family your aunt gave Yicai's parent? ”

Sun Shaozu owed, "My son really doesn't know." ”

"I heard from your aunt that the Wang family was originally just a petty official in our south, but later I heard that there was a Langzhong in the clan. I don't have to say more about these words, you know better than I do. No, the lord of the Wang family has just been promoted to the head of the Qing Officials Division in the capital. I thought that your aunt was probably afraid that the Wang family would be promoted and would not look down on your aunt's family, so I found an excuse to rush here with my daughter. ”

Sun Shaozu and Yingchun didn't speak, they both nodded.

Mrs. Sun continued: "I also understand your aunt's little abacus. She wants Yicai to marry in our house, so that she looks better on face, after all, you are still an official. Your aunt wants to fight for face for Yicai, so as not to get angry in the Wang family when she marries. ”

Sun Shaozu and Yingchun were silent.

Old Mrs. Sun sighed leisurely: "Over the years, your aunt has been acting like a man in a woman's family, so she is less reserved than ordinary women, so don't be surprised." Ying'er, how much did you help your aunt, your father only has one sister-in-law, I didn't think that this Zhang family would be so downtrodden later, and the people of the Zhang family didn't care about your aunt and daughter. But, then again, they didn't come to take your uncle's meager property, but they still have some hearts. ”

Yingchun and Sun Shaozu couldn't say anything, so they could only stand on the side.

Mrs. Sun moved her shoulders slightly, "You guys should go back too, it's been a long time, and it's weird." ”

Yingchun and Sun Shaozu answered, and the husband and wife withdrew.

Sun Shaozu and Yingchun came to Yingchun's yard and walked to the small garden, Yingchun stopped, "Master, don't send me, isn't the master going to Aunt Chen's place today?" ”

Sun Shaozu paused and smiled, "You don't have to go so early." Sun Shaozu looked up at the side of Yingchun, "You...... Angry? ”

"What did the master say," Yingchun smiled.

said that he was not angry, but Yingchun never called Sun Shaozu "master" when the two were alone. Sun Shaozu felt uncomfortable.

"Yingchun ......" Sun Shaozu affectionately called the name of Yingchun. Yingchun raised his head and looked into Sun Shaozu's eyes, "Later, you'll come back, won't you?" Yingchun asked very seriously.

Sun Shaozu nodded heavily. "That's good, later, I want you to accompany me to the temple for incense. We're going to leave early, and you're coming back sooner, okay? ”

Yingchun's words were polite, which made Sun Shaozu's brows furrow. When have they ever been so polite? In addition to making trouble, it is a small cough. Such politeness suffocated Sun Shaozu.

"I'll be sure I'll be back soon." Sun Shaozu hung his head slightly, looking at the little face raised in the spring. "I'm ......" Sun Shaozu suddenly stopped talking and didn't continue. Yingchun looked at Sun Shaozu. "What does the master want to say?" Sun Shaozu stared at Yingchun and thought for a while before continuing, "It's okay. ”

Yingchun smiled lightly, "Then, I'll go back first." Yingchun said, turned around and left.

Sun Shaozu looked at the back of Yingchun, and felt annoyed in his heart, feeling that he was sorry for the moon and the spring now. Sun Shaozu sighed and walked to Aunt Chen's yard.
