After Jiang Zhiming returned to the Hou Mansion, the first thing he did was to see Mrs. Feng, Tao looked down on Gu Yutang's background, and disliked her as the daughter of a merchant, if he wanted to marry Gu Yutang back.

I'm afraid that whatever he says, Tao will not agree, he was brought up by Mrs. Feng, and she should be in charge of the marriage, so he planned to beg Mrs. Feng.

When he came to the door of Shou'an Hall, where Mrs. Feng was, Jiang Zhiming was reluctant to go in. Mother and grandmother have always been on good terms, and mother has always hated grandmother in her heart, if he went to ask grandmother for help this time, I am afraid that it will intensify the hatred in his mother's heart for grandmother.

Just as Jiang Zhiming was about to turn around and leave, the stone who came back with Jiang Zhiming hurriedly grabbed him and quickly said, "The young master doesn't want to be with the Gu family girl?" Now while the old lady is still in the house, she didn't go to Fahua Temple to burn incense, what does the young master want to say, just tell her old man, the young master was brought up by the old lady, she naturally loves the young master, and will marry the Gu family girl for the young master. ”

The old lady of Dingwu Hou Feng every year in July, when the old Marquis of Dingwu died of taboo, she would go to Fahua Temple outside the city to live for a few days, one is to pray for the blessing of the family, and the other is that the Tao family will hold a banquet during this time, she can go out to live for a few days, and she can be quiet and quiet.

"Now my mother has the final say on everything in the house, although I was raised in my grandmother's room, but after all, I was born to my mother, and it is inevitable that I will not ask her about marriage? If I had bypassed my mother and asked for my grandmother's grace, wouldn't I have made my grandmother feel sorry for me? Jiang Zhiming glanced at Shou'an Hall, where the door was closed behind him, and finally said the worries in his heart.

Seeing Jiang Zhiming's indecisive appearance, Shi said indignantly: "Since the young master was afraid of wolves and tigers, when he was in Tao Mansion, he shouldn't have said those words to Old Lady Tao, since the young master said to Old Lady Tao that he liked the girl of the Gu family, he should be responsible for her." If these words spread out, wouldn't the young master ruin the reputation of the Gu family girl if he didn't marry the Gu family girl in the end? Who will dare to marry the Gu family girl in the future?"

"My mother was there at that time, and I just wanted to use those words to anger my mother. In my heart, I wanted to marry the girl of the Gu family, but my mother looked down on the girl of the Gu family, saying that the girl of the Gu family was the daughter of the Shangjia family, and that the daughter of the Shangjia family was the most cunning and calculating, even if I was asked to marry a girl from the down-and-out Shi family, she would never let me marry the girl of the Gu family. Jiang Zhiming now thinks of what Tao said, and the anger in his heart is still burning.

The mother has too deep prejudices about the daughter from the Shangjia family, who said that the daughter from the Shangjia family is the most cunning and calculating? Who said that the daughter from the Shang family is not as good as the daughter from the Shi family?

He decided that he would not marry Gu Yutang in this life. Even if he marries back, Gu Yutang is a cunning and calculating person, but it is better to harm himself than to harm others! But he thought, with such a baby fat face and a foodie, it shouldn't be so bad?

Suddenly, the wooden door of Shou'an Hall creaked open, and I saw a little maid wearing a turquoise bichia walking out, carrying a basin of water, as if she had come out to pour water.

Seeing Jiang Zhiming standing outside, the little maid, who was originally weak and listless, suddenly cheered up, put down the wooden basin in her hand, and bowed before saying, "Why did His Royal Highness the Prince come over?" The old lady talked about you when she was offering incense, and who knew that as soon as she finished speaking, you came. ”

"Today is neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the new year, how does my grandmother think about incense today?" Jiang Zhiming asked. Then led the way by the little maid who poured the water, Jiang Zhiming walked into the Shou'an Hall where Old Lady Feng was meditating.

"Today is the death taboo of the eldest aunt and grandmother, the old lady committed a nightmare last night, saying that she dreamed of the eldest aunt and grandmother, and the eldest aunt and grandmother said something to the old lady in the dream. When she got up early this morning, the old lady ordered the slaves and maids to fold two baskets of ingots, and after the old lady put incense on the tablet of the eldest aunt and grandmother, she ordered the slaves and maids to burn the ingots. While the two were talking, the little maid took Jiang Zhiming to the water pavilion where Mrs. Feng burned incense and worshiped the Buddha.

Shou'an Hall is a huge garden, there is a rockery piled up with Taihu Lake stones in the garden, and there are several lively and active big carp in the artificial lake under the rockery, and the garden is surrounded by willow trees. There is also a natural lake next to the rockery, which is full of lotus flowers, and when the breeze blows, only a faint fragrance of lotus can be smelled.

Mrs. Feng's water pavilion where she burned incense and worshiped the Buddha was built next to the lotus pond.

Jiang Zhiming walked into the water pavilion and saw that Mrs. Feng was still kneeling in front of the spirit of the Jiang family's aunt and grandmother. Jiang Hailan, the eldest aunt of the Jiang family, is the firstborn daughter of Mrs. Feng, just because the child was born early, congenital deficiency, she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she is even more sick when she grows up.

The old marquis of Dingwu and Mrs. Feng felt sorry for her, invited an unknown number of famous doctors, and used an unknown number of expensive medicinal materials. failed to exchange Jiang Hailan's life from the sky.

After Jiang Hailan's death, the old marquis of Dingwu missed his eldest daughter day and night, and it didn't take long for him to follow.

After that, Mrs. Feng and a few aunts brought up Jiang Zhiming's father and aunt together.

Old Mrs. Feng heard the sound, didn't open her eyes, and still moved the Buddha beads in her hand, looking extremely pious, "Xiao Tan, who came in?"

It turned out that the little maid who had just led Jiang Zhiming and them in was called Xiao Tan, Mrs. Feng loved to be quiet, and there were not many people in the house to serve. Coupled with Xiao Tan, who guided them, there were three people in the house, and one of them was Mother Cui, who had served Mrs. Feng for many years.

Mother Cui smiled and helped Mrs. Feng up, then took the Buddha beads in her hand before saying, "Old lady, it is His Royal Highness the Prince who has come to see you." ”

was told by Cui's mother, and Mrs. Feng saw clearly that the person in front of her was Jiang Zhiming. Hurriedly instructed Xiao Tan to take a stool and chair out for Jiang Zhiming to sit down, and then said, "Brother Zhiming, didn't I hear people say that you went to your grandfather's house?" You came back so soon, didn't your in-laws leave you to eat?"

"Grandmother, my grandfather left me and my mother to eat, but my mother said that there were many things at home, and she was in a hurry to come back, so she refused. I'm going to go to Punpu in a few days, and I want to see my grandmother before I leave. Jiang Zhiming said, poured a cup of tea from the teapot beside him, and put it on the high table next to Mrs. Feng.

"Of all the children raised in my house, you are the smartest and most filial. Your eldest sister and your eldest brother were also raised in my house, and now I don't see them at any other time except when I am sick. When Mrs. Feng spoke, Mother Cui, who was waiting beside her, had already handed the tea that Jiang Zhiming had poured into Mrs. Feng's hand.

"After the eldest sister got married, her mother-in-law had a lot of family affairs, and now the eldest sister finally has a child with her eldest brother-in-law, and the two of them naturally take care of the child at home. The eldest brother is about to be released, and his classmates have congratulated him, and the eldest brother is also very busy dealing with these people during this time. If my grandmother wanted someone to talk to, she would be there for her. After Jiang Zhiming finished the last sentence, he hugged Mrs. Feng tightly like a child.
