Chapter 45: Twists and Turns (2)

“……”

Gu Zheng didn't know where to start for a while, and as soon as he was cared for by Cen Yuanniang from the bottom of his heart, his eyes were uncontrollably wet.

Cen Yuanniang on the side saw that Gu Zheng also shed tears, and couldn't help but be more anxious: "Don't cry, don't cry, tell the big sister what happened to you?" Where's your mother? Why didn't I come with you? Also, who was that evil guy who was chasing you just now? ”

Gu Zheng still had to rely on Cen Yuanniang's help to see Mrs. Tai, so after she was silent for a while, she finally said in a low voice: "My mother is gone, and she was only put into the coffin on the fifth day of the first month." ”

"I didn't ...... Gone?! ”

Cen Yuanniang looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief, confirming that Gu Zheng meant that Gu Liniang had died, and then muttered to herself in a daze: "Why is it gone?" But it's only been less than half a month since I left the house......"

"My mother died of illness...... When she went, my cousin's family ......"

Gu Zheng first talked about Gu Liniang's death due to illness and the Zhang family's ill intentions, and then mentioned the mention of Yu Pei: "I hid in a neighbor's house and had nothing to do, but I accidentally found ...... I think there must be something else hidden in this matter, so I came to Cen Mansion again, wanting to see Mrs. Tai and present the jade pendant to her......"

Gu Zheng told Cen Yuanniang the original thing in 1510, and while the two were talking, Cen Yuanniang's carriage had already entered the house from the corner gate, and a green oil cloth car was changed to drive towards the Hanging Flower Gate. When she arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, Cen Yuanniang first took a wide cloak and put it on Gu Zheng, and then called Zhu'er, Bi'er and a few little maids to hug Gu Zheng and get on the soft sedan chair, so that the maids surrounded Gu Zheng all the way and carried them to the Ruixiang Garden where Cen Yuanniang lived in a low-key manner.

Because Gu Zheng was wearing a wide cloak and deliberately pressed the brim of his hat low to cover his face, so all the way to the Nuanxiang Pavilion where Cen Yuanniang lived, no one noticed that she was the cousin of the Gu family who had been kicked out by Mrs. Tai before.

After entering the house where Cen Yuanniang lived, Cen Yuanniang first asked Zhu Er to fetch water, twisted a handkerchief to wipe Gu Zheng's face, and changed her clothes under the service of the maids......

"Good sister, your cousin's family is too bastard, and they even made the idea of selling you to a kidnapper! Fortunately, you happened to meet me outside the door today, otherwise if he really asked him to take you away, I am afraid that it would be more auspicious and less auspicious," Cen Yuanniang first angrily counted a few words about Lu Ergou's family, and then continued to focus on it: "You mean that your mother is likely to be really our aunt and grandmother?" ”

Although Gu Zheng was already seven or eight points sure in his heart, he didn't say too much: "I have to show the old lady the jade pendant to know, if the jade pendant that my mother gave me before her death is really the ancestral jade pendant of the Cen family, then there is a chance that this matter will not be wrong." ”

Also, Gu Liniang and Gu Zheng both look very similar to Mrs. Tai, plus the ancestral jade pendant of the Cen family, who would dare to say that it was a coincidence after these two were added together?

After all, just caring about the fact that Liniang and Mrs. Tai were exactly the same when they were young is enough to be shocking and unbelievable...... Besides, if the ancestral jade pendant of the Cen family has nothing to do with Gu Liniang, how could she let her wear it for decades? And before he died, he passed her on to Gu Zheng as a family heirloom?

Cen Yuanniang understood all these things as soon as she thought about it, so she soon became like Gu Zheng and tended to believe that Gu Liniang was the Aluan of the Cen family. In addition, Cen Yuanniang had the intention to help Gu Zheng, and she hoped that Gu Zheng could return to Cen Mansion to be protected by Mrs. Tai, and not to live that frightened life outside.

So after thinking about it for a while, Cen Yuanniang took the initiative to say: "Sister, don't worry, I'm just going to go over to say hello to my grandmother, and when I get to my grandmother, I'll find another opportunity to talk about you with her old man......"

"If you don't find a chance to talk today, it's okay, you can live quietly in my courtyard first, and I will always find a chance to talk to my grandmother in detail, right?" After Cen Yuanniang finished speaking, she didn't give Gu Zheng a chance to say kind words, and immediately smiled and instructed Zhu Er: "You guys turn out the clothes I couldn't wear in the past few years, and take an extra quilt when you make the bed at night." ”

After Zhu Er answered a few times, Cen Yuanniang took Gu Zheng's hand and said, "The clothes I wore a few years ago shouldn't be too big, it's just right for you to change and wash!" At night, we sisters will sleep in the same bed, and you will not shirk it, but only me! ”

Cen Yuanniang's kindness moved Gu Zheng very much, and she also knew that Cen Yuanniang deliberately took care of the matter because she was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she stopped saying those hypocritical words, leaned on the soft couch with a crooked body, pretended to be relaxed, and said with a hippie smile: "Then I will just stay with my eldest sister and not leave, and my sister will not regret taking me in when the time comes!" ”

"You ghost girl! I regret it, I regret that I didn't ask my grandmother to leave you behind, so that you went outside and suffered so much, and you don't have a mother's ......" Cen Yuanniang said and stopped her mouth violently, while secretly annoying that she had aroused Gu Zheng's sadness again, while hurriedly looking for other words to divert the topic: "But don't worry, this time I will persuade my grandmother to leave you in the house, and no longer ask you to show your hardships outside!" ”

Gu Zheng didn't want Cen Yuanniang to worry about her all the time, so she lowered her head and blinked vigorously, forcing back the tears that were rolling in her eyes, and only after the tears were gone, she raised her head and told Cen Yuanniang with a smile: "Big sister, if you want Mrs. Xun Tai to talk about me, you must avoid Mrs. Luo and Aunt Zhao and others, and it is best to talk to Mrs. Tai alone." ”

Cen Yuanniang immediately understood, and immediately nodded and said: "I understand this, don't worry, I will avoid other people in the family and talk to my grandmother about this alone." ”

The two sisters talked about some gossip and Cen Yuanniang went to ask Mrs. Tai to say goodbye, but unfortunately after Cen Yuanniang arrived at Rongshoutang, she found that Mrs. Luo, Aunt Zhao and several girls in the family were there, so she temporarily hid Gu Zheng's matter in her heart, and asked Mrs. Tai for peace as always, and then picked one or two interesting things about going out to the little sister's house today to be a guest and said to Mrs. Tai......

Until she had lunch in Rongshoutang, Cen Yuanniang was hindered by Mrs. Luo and the others in front of her, and she didn't have the opportunity to talk to Mrs. Tai alone, so she could only turn around to warm the Xiangge Pavilion first, and thought of getting some food for Gu Zheng to fill her stomach first.

Although Gu Zheng didn't take the initiative to ask, Cen Yuanniang was very anxious and wanted to help Gu Zheng get things done as soon as possible. Therefore, after taking a nap with Gu Zheng, Cen Yuanniang found another excuse to go to Rongshoutang. After arriving at Rongshoutang, she saw that the courtyard was quiet, and she didn't see the maids who were following the other masters, Cen Yuanniang immediately guessed that no one was in Mrs. Tai's house at the moment, so she was overjoyed and immediately accelerated her pace into the inner room.

As soon as Cen Yuanniang entered the house, Mama Yu greeted her, and made a "shhh......h What is the matter with the big girl coming to the old lady? If there is nothing important, the eldest girl may wish to come over at dinner time to say hello to the old lady. ”

Mama Yu is tactfully reminding Cen Yuanniang not to disturb Mrs. Tai's nap, how could Cen Yuanniang not hear it?

But Gu Zheng's matter is also a big deal, plus several other girls also live in Ruixiang Garden, and there are many people who come in and out on weekdays, Cen Yuanniang is worried that Gu Zheng will secretly live in Nuanxiang Pavilion, and sooner or later someone will find out and cause unnecessary trouble.

Cen Yuanniang couldn't figure out Mama Yu's attitude towards Gu Zheng for a while, so after thinking about it again, she finally chose to ask Mama Yu tentatively: "Good Mama, if Grandmother takes too long a nap this time, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep at night, which is not good for your health...... Do you want to wake up your grandmother sooner? ”

This Cen Yuanniang was raised in front of Mrs. Tai, and it can be regarded as Mama Yu who grew up watching from a young age, so Mama Yu knows that Cen Yuanniang has always been a well-informed child who knows how to advance and retreat, and she will never make this move to disturb the rest of the elders......

So Mama Yu couldn't help but look at Cen Yuanniang a few more times, and saw that there was an anxious look between her eyebrows, so she guessed that Cen Yuanniang should have something important to discuss with Mrs. Tai.
