After finishing Granny Zhao's funeral, Xiao Jiu didn't want to stay here any longer, Gu Qing had too many thoughts for her, she was afraid that she would drag it out, and she was really reluctant to go back.

After saying goodbye to his past acquaintances one by one, he set off with Luo Tassel to return to Xuanyu.

......

A month later.

Xiao Jiu re-received the business of the matchmaker, but it was from a neighboring town.

The small township of Xuanyu in Yuxiu Town that had just branched out a few years ago did not have many people, but the funds allocated by the imperial court were sufficient, and it was just around the corner to carry it forward.

Xiao Jiu received the news and estimated that she would have to stay in Yuxiu for a while, but she was unfamiliar with her life and was a girl's family, which made her hesitate.

Turning his gaze to Luo Tassel, Xiao Jiu tapped the bowl with chopsticks, "Hey! Can you really bear to let me go alone? Aren't you afraid that I'll be abducted?! ”

Luo Tassel ate quite deliciously, and when he heard the words, he didn't seem to have any worries, and replied bluntly: "Who can be blind to you?" ”

"Hey! Do you have a conscience? Seeing that Luo Tassel was so steely, Xiao Jiu snorted, "Who is cooking for you now?!" If I'm gone, who's going to cook for you! ”

Speaking of which, in fact, Xiao Jiu just wanted Luo Tassel to accompany her to Yuxiu Town.

Luo Tassel and Xiao Jiu have been together for so long, how could they not understand Xiao Jiu's careful thinking.

He's just teasing her.

"Then I'll have to buy it myself!" Luo Tassel continued to die.

Xiao Jiu was really angry with Luo Tassel, let go of the chopsticks, and pointed at Luo Tassel, "You man is really too conscienceless!" I've seen through you! Hum! Down! The old lady is not rare to you! ”

The words fell, and the rest of the meal had no appetite to eat.

Xiao Jiu was about to leave the table, but Luo Tassel grabbed her again.

Xiao Jiu's heart: Bastard! Here it is again!

She shook off Luo Tassel's hand, "What?" You're playing a bitter trick on me again! ”

Luo Tassel laughed and didn't speak, just dragged Xiao Jiu back into his position.

Yun said lightly: "The old lady of the Zou family is my cousin-in-law." ”

Xiao Jiu: ???

Suddenly a relative?

According to Luo Tassel's urine nature, Xiao Jiu probably guessed something.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Hey! Didn't you already know this? ”

So just a series of deaths, did he really want to find death?!

Damn stinky man!

Luo Tassel smiled and said nothing, "Let's eat quickly, wait for someone to pick us up tomorrow." ”

Xiao Jiu's heart: I really want to beat this stinky pig!

*

On the second day, Xiao Jiu and Luo Tassel took the Zou family's carriage to Yuxiu Town.

On the way, Xiao Jiu tried all the ways he could threaten Luo Tassel before Luo Tassel let Luo Tassel loosen his mouth and tell him about his relationship with the Zou family.

Although Luo Liusu fled from his family and is no longer the son of the world, his position is still controlled by the family all the time.

It's just that the family has given him freedom by default.

This old lady of the Zou family, Sun, is fifty years old, and she is the cousin of Luo Liusu's mother and Luo Liusu's cousin.

Although he was a distant relative, when he was young, this cousin could take care of his mother.

It's just that Sun didn't obey the family's marriage arrangement, and eloped with the man she liked to Xuanyu on her own initiative.

When they first got married, life was hard, but Sun never thought of going back to his parents' house to ask for some funding.

Fortunately, Master Zou was young and vigorous, and vowed to become famous for his beloved wife, so he passed the imperial examination and lived a good life with the Sun family in less than two years.

After the branch of Yuxiu Town went out, he originally asked Master Zou to be the county commander, but Master Zou was old and didn't want to fix these troublesome things, so he recommended his son to take the position and assist himself.

Sun knew that Luo Tassel had gone to Xuanyu, and a few times ago, there was a letter inviting Luo Tassel to go to Yuxiu to play.

However, Luo Tassel naturally refused.

However, while Luo Liusu refused, he also added other words, asking the Sun family to help him see if there was a matchmaker in any house, and he had a little matchmaker.

Sun has always remembered Luo Tasu's words, and she knows that the people Luo Tassel values are absolutely not wrong.

Rather than giving other houses cheap, it is better to let your family be happy.

This waited until Zou Xiaogongzi held a hair binding banquet.

"Now, is there anything else you want to know?" Luo Tassel chattered for a long time before he made it clear to Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu lame, "Oh! Got it! It's a lot to do with you! I thank you for supporting my work! Hum! ”

Xiao Jiu said that Luo Liusu's identity as the son of the world is still unbreakable, and the connections he had before are still there, and he is the blood of the nobles in his bones.

"Tell me about you woman, I obviously mean well, how can I say it from your mouth and be so sarcastic?" Luo Tassel sighed helplessly.

"Nope!" Xiao Jiu wanted to laugh a little, "Doctor Luo Shen is the best!" Doctor Luo Shen is the best for Ah Jiu! ”

"I don't believe it." Luo Tassel was really helpless against the girl in front of him.

......

Zou Mansion.

Yuxiu is not far from Xuanyu, and it is only a carriage for three hours.

When Xiao Jiu and Luo Tassel arrived at Zou Mansion, it was already approaching evening, and it was time for dinner.

However, the Zou family had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, just waiting for the arrival of Xiao Jiu and Luo Tassel.

"Greetings to ......" Master Zou saw Luo Tassel and was just about to salute.

But the old lady behind him came and knocked him directly on a crutch and gave him a look.

Only then did Mr. Zou remember the old lady's instructions two days ago.

Don't salute Luo Tassel, don't call Luo Tassel the son.

Luo Tassel is not surnamed Tuoba now, but must be honored as Luo Gongzi.

"Young Master Luo, Miss Xiao, the two of you have worked tirelessly to go to the small mansion." Master Zou changed his words quickly, but his attitude was still respectful.

Luo Tassel returned the salute slightly, "Master Zou, old lady, in Xia Luo Tassel." ”

"I'm Xiao Jiuniang." Xiao Jiu learned from them and also made a blessing.

"Don't stand outside, come in and sit." Old Madam Zou said lightly in the back.

......

At the dinner table, Xiao Jiu was a little uncomfortable, probably thinking that this table was all relatives, but she was an outsider.

And Xiao Jiu could feel that at this table, except for the old lady's normal attitude, everyone else regarded Luo Tassel as if he was an ancestor.

For example, Luo Tassel is full of big fish and meat in front of him.

For example, Luo Tassel has a special maid waiting next to him.

For example, when Luo Tassel said a word, no one dared to interject.

Xiao Jiu can be regarded as having seen the treatment that a royal family and nobleman will have.

"Young Master Luo is a guest, you are so restrained, who is the master and who is the guest? Don't know how to entertain guests? The old lady sat beside Luo Tassel, saw the affection, and spoke.

Mrs. Zou died of illness two years ago, and in the whole family, the old lady is the most vocal.

Almost everyone listened to the old lady.

The old lady has always told her not to treat Luo tassels differently.

But Luo Tassel's identity is here, so they really can't help it, but ordinary people treat it!

The sons and ladies of the Zou family were silent, waiting for Old Man Zou and Mrs. Zou to talk.

Master Zou coughed and laughed unnaturally: "What Mother said is, that... Luo Gongzi Miss Xiao, the old man toasts you! ”

Luo Tassel and Xiao Jiu followed and got up.

After drinking, Master Zou didn't know what to say.

Xiao Jiu was really a little helpless about the family, so he had to take the initiative to speak: "That... When will Zou Xiaogongzi come back? ”

If you want to say that this Zou Xiaogongzi has a fight with Ning Yu before, he doesn't follow the rules, so he likes to go outside.

The masters of the table are all here, but the most important protagonist did not come.

In fact, Master Zou didn't know where his son was going, Xiao Jiu asked, and looked at Mrs. Zou in a panic.

Old Madam Zou got used to it, and replied to Xiao Jiu: "I'm really embarrassed, Miss Xiao, the old man's unsuccessful little grandson doesn't know where to play, it's late at night, and it's not convenient to talk about business." It's better to stay until tomorrow, and the old body will let Zou Liancheng see Miss Xiao in person. ”

Zou Liancheng is the little son of the Zou family.

Xiao Jiu didn't have such a big shelf, smiled and waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll ask casually, I can see you anytime!" ...... not in a hurry."

"Old lady, does Mr. Zou know about inviting a matchmaker?" It was Luo Tassel who was questioned.

"What do you want that kid to know! I know how to play every day, how can I think that I have reached the age of marriage? The old lady hated iron but not steel.

"I just tied my hair... Understandable, understandable. Xiao Jiu was not surprised by such a young man.

"He doesn't need to know about this, he just needs to obey the arrangement." The old lady's tone was very majestic.

Xiao Jiu pursed his lips and glanced at Luo Tassel, for some reason, he felt a little strange in his heart.

......

Late at night.

Luo Tassel was taken by the old lady to reminisce, and Xiao Jiu had to go back to the house alone.

The hospitality of Zou Mansion is still very comprehensive, and Xiao Jiu can be regarded as stained with Luo Tassel's light, and it is the first time that the matchmaker is arranged to live in the People's Mansion.

remembered that when she was at the dinner table, the old lady either didn't speak, or when she spoke, no old man Zou or the eldest son in the house dared to squeak.

It's not all respect, I feel more, I just don't dare to interject.

Maybe Luo Tassel is related to Mrs. Zou, which makes the younger generation more cautious.

Xiao Jiu likes strong women and hopes to be a strong woman, but he doesn't like the old lady.

If the old lady is too lenient, she will make her son and grandson very faceless.

Lo tassel here.

"It's really a little unaccustomed to calling you another name like that." The old lady said with a smile.

"Old lady, it seems to have been twelve years since we last met."

Twelve years ago, when Luo Liusu was nine years old, he heard that Sun was sick, so he was taken by his mother to visit.

Then, after that, we never saw each other again.

"Yes, it's been twelve years, but Xiu'er still hasn't changed, and my aunt can recognize it." The old lady looked at Luo Tassel, and the kindness and kindness in her eyes could not be seen in Master Zou or the descendants of the Zou family.

She gradually moved a little, "Just let the old body call you Xiu'er, and then change your words in front of others." ”

Luo tassel, formerly known as Tuoba Xiu.

"Okay." Luo Tassel nodded.

After looking around, he made sure that there was no one, and asked with a smile: "Auntie, are you still unwilling to let go of the obsession you had thirty-two years ago?" ”

Suddenly mentioning this, the old lady subconsciously sank her eyes.

Thirty-two years ago, Sun became pregnant.

Unexpectedly, when he was young, Mr. Zou had power and wealth, and he was greedy for a while, so he happened to raise an aunt outside.

That aunt and Sun were pregnant at the same time.

Sun is a strong woman, and her things will not be shared with others.

Mrs. Zou was a little remorseful, but they were all his own children, and he didn't want to let go. So I grinded with Sun for a long time before Sun relented.

But Sun's mouth was relieved... But for another purpose...

Pregnant in October, the two women happened to give birth on the same day.

The Sun family has already bought the midwife, and the aunt is not guaranteed because of difficult childbirth!

But I don't know if God saw Sun's evil thoughts, and it turned out to be Sun's dystocia......

Sun was born, but the child died after only half a moment.

At that time, the Sun family didn't want to think about it, so he asked the personal maid to quickly stop the midwife who delivered the baby.

Sun's temporary change of plan made people change the child.

As a result, Mrs. Zou thought it was her aunt's child who died.

The Sun family hid from the world, and the mother relied on her son to pay attention to her son, forcing the old lady to divorce her aunt.

After this incident, Sun raised other women's children, and she herself, seeing that the man she had loved had already had two hearts, and she did not want to have children for him.

Old lady Zou didn't dare to mess around outside, and she would have a son for the rest of her life.

This is the reason why everyone can see now why Sun's status in front of his descendants and his voice are so high.

Because since she was a child, she did not give her son maternal love, the majesty of her eternal elders, and let her son always remember that her words were orders.

Luo Tassel's mother knows about Sun's affairs, so Luo Tassel is also very clear.

When he came to Zou Mansion again, he felt the heaviness that was still the same, and Luo Tassel couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

He didn't want to see his respected aunt hold a grudge against him and not let go.

"Xiu'er, in my aunt's life, I wanted to be a good wife and a mother." The old lady raised her head and sighed heavily, "However, God does not give my aunt this opportunity, my aunt is like this, maybe in your eyes, my aunt is a selfish woman." ”

"Auntie, the descendants of the Zou family, I respect you very much, in fact, after so many years, you can let go of the things of your youth." Luo Tassel persuaded in a good voice, "After all, the old man is gone, and the person at that time is only you." ”

No one in the Zou family knows what happened back then, and like the Sun family, everyone respects them not only out of sincerity, but also from childhood to adulthood, and has been subtly taught by the Sun family.

Sounds a little sad.

"Yes, the old man is gone, and I am the only one left, hehe." The old man smiled, but with a burst of desolation.

The Sun family is also a bitter person, if the Zou family was not half-hearted like other men, with three wives and four concubines, maybe now, the Zou family must be harmonious.

She can also be like other mothers, with many children, many children that she loves, and children who love her.

It's a pity.
