Aunt Zhang smiled: "...... Mother Jiang was even more funny, when she came to see me, she actually took a vase from Mrs. Tai's treasury, saying that it was deserted in the small Buddha hall, and the vase was there, and I would feel better when I saw it......"

Mother Tao, Mother Liu, Mother Jiang......

These are the most powerful people in Xiyuan.

"In private, I've been worried about Aunt Zhang for a long time, hey, it seems that I'm really worried," Wei Man shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "It turns out that in the past ten days, Aunt Zhang's life has been so comfortable." ”

"It's not comfortable, after all, it's not your own yard...... However, it is convenient for me to get together with a few old sisters, and talk to them about some heartfelt words, but it also passed some time, by the way," Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang seemed to have just remembered, and said with a smile: "The third lady also knows, we and Aunt Luo, we have known each other since the old days, this topic is also about Aunt Luo's grandmother, and then, ah, I and a few mothers found a very interesting thing......"

"Oh?" Seeing Aunt Zhang's grandmother staring at her with interest, Wei Man smiled, with a somewhat curious look on her face, and asked, "I don't know what is interesting?" ”

"The third lady has also seen Aunt Luo's grandmother," Aunt Zhang said, while carefully looking at Wei Man's face with that somewhat mad gaze, for a moment, she said with a smile: "Now that I look closely, I find that it is really similar......

"Similar?" Wei Man touched his face, his eyes flashed, and he asked suspiciously, "What does Aunt Zhang mean ......?"

"Third Miss's eyebrows," Aunt Zhang smiled brightly, but there seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes, and said, "It's really similar to Aunt Luo's grandmother when she was young......

Eyebrows and eyes, similar to Aunt Luo's grandmother!?

Wei Man looked at Aunt Zhang in amazement.

……

With the support of the maid, Aunt Zhang's grandmother staggered into the courtyard of the second room.

Returned to Suitamami-in.

Xiao Tao and Gu Xue carefully helped Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang to lie down on the warm couch.

"Where's the second master?" Aunt Zhang adjusted her posture slightly, sighed comfortably, and asked, "Isn't the second master in the house?" ”

"If you go back to your aunt, the second master hasn't been back to the house for more than ten days," Xiao Tao gently helped Aunt Zhang's legs massage, while carefully looking at Aunt Zhang's face, and replied with a smile: "The slave maid thought, the second master shouldn't know what happened here with my aunt...... The second master is very filial to his aunt and grandmother, if he knew that his aunt and grandmother had gone to the small Buddha hall in Xiyuan again, he would definitely come back to visit his aunt......"

"Didn't you come back?" Aunt Zhang frowned slightly and asked, "Have you inquired about what the second master is doing outside?" ”

"I said that I have been meeting friends outside, but," Xiao Tao looked out of her eyes, and saw that Gu Xue, who went to serve tea, did not come back, so she whispered to Aunt Zhang: "The slave maid thinks that the second lady deliberately did not inform the second master, and the aunt and grandmother ......."

"Gu Xue, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Cao's voice suddenly came from the courtyard.

Xiao Tao's complexion changed, and her heart jumped suddenly.

Outside.

"Gu Xue has seen the second lady," Gu Xue stiffened, turned around, saluted the Cao family with a smile, and replied: "Grandma is a little thirsty, the slave maid brought tea and was about to go in, did the second lady come to see my aunt and grandmother......

"Hmm." Cao Shi nodded slightly and asked, "Grandma is in the house." ”

"Here, here," Gu Xue hurriedly said: "Grandma has just come back, second lady, please come in......"

The curtain in the inner chamber was raised.

Cao walked in with a worried face.

"Auntie," Cao stepped forward a few steps, sat on the edge of the warm couch, looked at Aunt Zhang's face, and asked worriedly, "Auntie is okay?" ”

"Why is the second lady here?" Aunt Zhang's face looked very polite, and she said with some reproach: "I don't have anything to do, the second lady is the lady in charge, and there are many things, so why worry about these little things." ”

"Look at what my aunt said, my aunt is the biological mother of the second master, and I am the second master's wife, what else is more important to me than my aunt's body?" The second lady Cao carefully looked at Aunt Zhang's face, and said with some guilt: "After learning that my aunt went to the small Buddha hall in Xiyuan, I immediately asked people to go outside the house to inform the second master, hey, but I didn't expect that the second master was no longer in that hall, and the people there only said that the second master was making an appointment with a friend to go to the mountain, but I don't know where the second master went......"

"Hey, it's all said that these are trivial things," Aunt Zhang smiled: "The second master is a person who does big things outside, and Madame can't bother him with some small things......

"What my aunt said, I think the same thing in my heart, so ah, I didn't let people find out where the second master was," Cao nodded, looking very much in agreement with Aunt Zhang's grandmother, seeing Aunt Zhang's tired look, her eyes turned, and she sighed again, and asked, "It's just, is there anything uncomfortable in my aunt's body?" Otherwise, tomorrow, I'll invite a doctor for my aunt to come into the house and take a look......"

"No need to do this, my body is fine," Aunt Zhang interrupted Cao's words, stared at her with a slightly cold gaze, and said lightly: "There are a few old sisters in Xiyuan who take care of me, I'm fine, it's just ......"

Seeing Aunt Zhang's hesitant look on her face, Cao Shi hurriedly said, "If your aunt has anything to say, just give it a direct order." ”

"Hey, maybe Mrs. thinks I'm overstepping," Aunt Zhang sighed, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Although you can't use some trivial things to bother the second master, but the second master hasn't been back to the house for more than ten days, the second lady is the head of the house, and she wants to be a good wife, so I don't know where the second master went, this is not good after all......"

Cao's face froze, and he looked at Aunt Zhang in disbelief.

In Cao's heart, although Aunt Zhang is the biological mother of the second master, she doesn't look down on Aunt Zhang's identity, and she has always been face-saving to Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang is also polite to her...... Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang's grandmother suddenly put up her aunt's score today to teach her a lesson.

Aunt Zhang's grandmother didn't seem to notice the change in Cao's complexion, so she took the hot tea offered by Gu Xue as usual, and slowly took a sip.

……

A low-key carriage was bypassing the gate of the bustling Jade Garden.

Weiman lifted a corner of the curtain of the car and peeked out.

Many literati-like people surrounded the gate of the Jade Garden.

Wei Man couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

The carriage detoured from the front door to the back door of Youyuyuan, got off the carriage, and got on a small sedan chair.

Along the way, Weiman saw the most green bamboo.

The pure and simple bamboo, with the beautiful rockery and flowing water, look up, everywhere is quiet and elegant, in it, I can't help but feel comfortable and leisurely,

In front of a chic flower hall, the maid helped Weiman get off the sedan chair.

Cheng Yunqing, who had been accompanying Wei Man, first asked a few words from the little guy who greeted him before entering the flower hall.

"Cousin Oman, Grandpa Oman is receiving a distinguished guest at this time, but Cousin Oman doesn't have to worry, it should be sent off soon," Cheng Yunqing comforted Wei Man and said: "I have already asked people to guard the door of Grandpa Uncle's study, Cousin Oman will be able to see Grandpa Aman in a little while." ”

Old lady Cheng was receiving distinguished guests, and there were still so many people waiting at the gate of Youyu Garden......

"Cousin Yunqing, don't worry, it doesn't matter how long I wait, it's just," Wei Man asked with some confusion, "Is my grandfather going to see many guests today?" When I just passed by the gate of the Jade Garden, I saw a lot of people waiting there......"

"This ......" After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Yunqing said a little embarrassed: "We didn't expect so many people to come to see us today." ”

"Oh?" Wei Man was surprised.

"Actually, my uncle didn't go out of Beijing this time, but I don't know who missed my uncle's itinerary," Cheng Yunqing said with some annoyance: "Yesterday, I met the waiting Kang Lao Wang at the city gate, and invited my uncle and grandfather to live in the Jade Garden...... My uncle and grandfather wanted to talk to my cousin Oman today, but I didn't expect that early in the morning, someone would be waiting at the door with a name post......"

Old Prince Kang was waiting at the gate of the capital waiting for Mrs. Cheng......

There are also many visitors who come to the door to hear the wind......

This, Mrs. Cheng is a person who has never been to the capital, is there any special identity?

Wei Man thought about it carefully, and only recalled the sentence that Cheng's mother had mentioned that the Cheng family was a Xijing family.

"Cousin Yunqing, those people outside," Wei Man asked a little embarrassed, "They, why do they all want to meet their grandfather?" ”

With a delicate and weak inquiry, Cheng Yunqing couldn't help but raise his eyes, only to see a pair of crystal eyes, looking at him with a smile, his heart couldn't help but beat fast again, and he hurriedly wiped his gaze away.

"This, the year before last, my uncle and grandfather wrote a book called "Heng Theory", Oman's cousin is a woman, so I shouldn't have read it," Cheng Yunqing explained, and couldn't help but look at Wei Man's face, and said: ""Heng Theory" is the work of my uncle and grandfather's life, and the discussion in it is very exquisite...... People outside have a lot of respect for my uncle and grandfather......"

It turned out that Old Man Cheng was an ancient literary Confucian, Wei Man said in his heart, no wonder the people waiting outside had any books in their hands.

may have talked about what he likes and is good at, Cheng Yunqing couldn't help but talk to Wei Man about the subtleties of "Heng Theory".

Although Wei Man didn't understand much, he could also insert a sentence or two of simple opinions in a timely manner, and for a while, the atmosphere in the flower hall was warm.

"Young master," a little guy suddenly trotted into the flower hall, although his face was anxious, he first saluted Wei Man and Cheng Yunqing, and then said: "Young master, someone is in the palace." ”
