There were two rows of housekeepers standing at the gate of Sun's house, all dressed in blue, standing on both sides of the gate, about a dozen, and they were driving passers-by.

After a while, the four daughters-in-law first came out in bright skirts to find out, and then instructed the subordinates outside to move to both sides of the gate, saying that the wives and ladies inside would come out.

After a while, an old lady came out of the door, with gray hair, and with the support of several wives, she was surrounded by many maids and daughters-in-law and walked out of the door.

Behind the old lady, followed by a large group of brocade clothes and skirts, followed by the young master of the Sun family and others.

The young master scattered to both sides, separating the family from the grandchildren.

"It's coming, say it's at the front door!" The uncle said to the old lady.

The old lady looked that way.

And the people looked to the north side of the road.

Soon two fast horses arrived, followed by a couple of carriages, escorted by soldiers on horseback in front of them.

When they arrived at the gate of Sun's house, the soldiers blocked the road twice to prevent passers-by from passing.

Several daughters-in-law of the Sun Mansion went up to meet them, walked to the first car, lifted the curtain, and first got out of the car with two Peugeot maids, and then they went to help a wife who got down from inside.

The lady, who looked to be about forty years of age, wore a pink forged jacket and a green silk skirt, and had jewels on her head, and she got out of the car with her eyes searched the crowd.

At last she fixed her eyes on the old lady's face, and before she could say anything, tears began to fall.

She pushed the crowd away, took a few steps forward, and grabbed the old lady's hands, and the legs slid down as if they were weak.

A big maiden who followed her, quick to put a cushion under the wife's knees before she knelt down.

She is the eldest daughter of the old lady and Zhou Daqing's mother.

She raised her face, burst into tears, trembled and called her mother, and she could no longer speak.

The old lady couldn't cry anymore, she pulled up her daughter who was kneeling on the ground, and the mother and daughter finally hugged their heads and cried.

Their wives around them, as well as some daughters-in-law, wiped their tears, and it was really rare for the mother and daughter to meet, and five years had passed.

waited until the mother and daughter cried for a while, and then the uncle said: "Mother, sister, be happy, why are you crying when you meet here?" Let everyone cry, this is a happy event, everyone is happy, everyone is happy, go, go home and sit down and talk. ”

So the eldest wife, the second wife, and the third wife came forward to persuade him.

The people around Mrs. Gu, seeing that they were dressed well, automatically got out of the way.

The wives persuaded for a while, and Fang stabilized the emotions of the mother and daughter.

At this time in the crowd, someone called Niang, and Mrs. Gu searched in the crowd for a while, only to see her son Zhou Daqing and Rong'er together. There he looked at his mother with joy, and he was not allowed to come in, and his sisters, sisters-in-law, and aunts and ladies all surrounded her in the middle. He could only see his mother by standing on the threshold.

The eldest grandmother beckoned to Zhou Daqing and said with a smile: "Haven't you come to see your mother?" ”

"Go in first, see you when you go in." I don't know who said it.

So the group entered the old lady's hall surrounded by the subordinates, and the old lady sat down, and the ladies sat down.

The aunt stepped forward and gave a big salute to the old lady, and met with several wives, and was visited by her nephews and nieces, and by her nephews and daughters-in-law.

After the ceremony, I sat down to eat tea and talk.

Hush Han asked for warmth, and Mrs. Gu explained her intention.

She came back this time, firstly, to take Zhou Daqing back for the Spring Festival.

Originally, he was going to pick him up after the New Year, but considering his grandfather's mood, he came to pick him up.

Mrs. Gu said that it was supposed to be a good New Year, but her father-in-law received a letter from the master of the Sun family, which mentioned that the emperor gave the Sun family a courtyard in the southern capital.

After her father-in-law read the letter, he thought about it for a few days, and then decided to take Zhou Daqing back for the Spring Festival.

When she said this, Mrs. Gu looked at the room and stopped.

The old lady knew in her heart that she was going to say something private to herself, which was not easy for outsiders to hear.

So the old lady took the excuse that Mrs. Gu had just arrived here, so she asked her to fetch water for Mrs. Gu to wash, and took her into her small living room.

In front of him, the bell served tea and poured water.

Mrs. Gu said: "I listened to my father-in-law's meaning, it seems that my father told him that now the emperor has given us a house, and the emperor is considering it from another aspect." ”

Mrs. Gu took a sip of tea and looked at the bell, which consciously withdrew.

Mrs. Gu said: "The emperor is very worried about the current minister, afraid that something will come out sooner or later, in order to stabilize the throne, he asked his father and other favored courtiers to move to him." Now that the whereabouts of Emperor Huiwu and the crown prince are unknown, the emperor plans to increase the investigation efforts, and the next step is to conduct an open and secret visit to the minister's house. ”

"The emperor won't trust our Sun family, right?" Uncle said.

"Not really!" Mrs. Gu said: "The emperor gave us the house, I heard my father-in-law say, it is because our Sun family is meritorious, and the emperor's reward is also reasonable, in addition, the emperor wants our family to move to the southern capital, but also for the reunion of our Sun family, so that the master and the nephews and the family can not see each other for a long time." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu took another sip of tea and said, "Of course, I don't know what the emperor thinks in his heart, my father-in-law means that what the emperor wants our family to do, our family will do it." The emperor's son, everyone knows how he came, in fact, the father-in-law suspects that the emperor doesn't trust anyone, so our family moved to Nandu, under the emperor's nose, isn't the emperor more trusting? ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu said to the second wife: "I heard my father-in-law say that when the time comes, I will be promoted to the position of Zheng'er, and I plan to reuse our family's Zheng'er!" ”

"Really?" The second wife was very happy, and she was busy adding tea to Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Lao.

"And that's not all!" Mrs. Gu turned to the third lady again and said mysteriously: "I heard my father-in-law say that the emperor is still planning to marry our grandson, and he wants to make our family's lotus child a daughter-in-law to his grandson." ”

The third lady smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu, how old is Lian'er?" Turning over the New Year, it's only eleven! ”

"What a fool you say!" The old lady smiled and said, "The emperor has this will, and he didn't say that Lian'er would enter the royal door now." is still a child and daughter's in-law from below, is it possible that he is still in infancy, so he let his daughter pass through the door? ! ”

After the old lady finished speaking, even the uncle laughed.

The third wife was excited.

Mrs. Gu said to the third wife: "Sister, I will congratulate you in advance?!" ”

"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, congratulations?" The third lady laughed.

"Why don't you have a word?" The uncle said: "The emperor has long had this will!" ”

The eldest lady said to the third wife: "Sister, I will pay more attention to Lian'er in the future." ”

"Yes, if Lian'er enters the royal gate, then our family can be regarded as a relative of the royal family!"

Seeing that they were all excited, Mrs. Gu said again: "Don't say this outside, just talk about it together!" ”

"That's that!" The third wife immediately agreed.

"One more thing!" Mrs. Gu said: "I came this time to discuss with my brother and mother. ”

"If there's anything, just say it!" Uncle said.

"That is, it's all a family, what is there to discuss, what you need, or what you need us to do, just say it!"

"When I came, I discussed with my father-in-law and Qing'er and his father, we thought, put Qing'er here, what I think about is that when our family moves over there, Qing'er is at the foot of the imperial city, and in our family's private school, studying with his brothers and sisters, first, he has a good learning environment, and second, his father-in-law still has his own plans."

"What are you going to do?" The uncle asked.

"We are in the Northern Capital, that is the old foundation of the emperor when he was the vassal king, my father-in-law thought, the emperor is suspicious now, and my father-in-law wants to put his grandson in our family, under the emperor's nose, to put it bluntly, Qing'er is even a hostage, so he also shows loyalty to the Zhou family!"

"What else is there to discuss, if you want me to say, don't go back to this Spring Festival sister, just spend the festival with Qing'er in our place!" The second wife laughed.

"That's all nonsense!" The old lady said, "No one is old? How can this be true? ”

So everyone laughed, and the second wife was joking.

Mrs. Gu said: "So, I came this time to take Qing'er back for the Spring Festival, and wait until the spring of next year, and then send him here, he is still going to school here!" ”

"That's good!" The old lady said: "We have a lot of children, he is here, he is not unfamiliar, he is quite easy to get along with!" ”
