Madame Jade was indeed outside.

Her palanquin had stopped in the hall.

Shi Ximo has learned that his father Shi Yuan has returned home. Of course he would. It's just that when I heard that my father was promoted to the knighthood again, Ximo's heart still sank.

The eunuch group that was opposed to his father and the king of Ningbei was getting closer and closer.

Liu Jianran said on the side: "Let's go too." Your father is also my elder. I live here, and although I eat and drink with the private money in your account, I need your father's nod in the end. Just looking at this point, I have to remember his affection. ”

Liu Jianran is an uninhibited person, but he knows how to be measured in major matters.

The old lady liked him, and she liked that.

Shi Ximo is not unmeasured. The history is complicated, and he also handles it very well. It's just that the old lady looked at the flowers in the fog, sat in the mountains, and couldn't perceive the benefits of this grandson.

She waited for Liu Jian to be dyed, but in fact, she also hoped that her grandson would be more vigilant.

Her intentions are not bad, but unfortunately she mistook Ximo.

"Who says no? Besides, my mother also returned. ”

Ximo looked at the mirror and took a look at herself: "I need to be energetic, so that my mother doesn't worry about me." ”

Jian Ran sighed.

Chunqin came over and handed Ximo a sachet.

The sachet was picked up last time Autumn Pattern. Lost and regained, Ximo is also a treasure.

The two of them walked out of the cottage together.

Walking the path, Jian Ran suddenly asked, "Didn't you lose this sachet?" How is it in the waist again? ”

Ximo was in a happy mood, and said casually: "It's lost." But it was picked up by the autumn pattern. After all, this woman and I have some fate. ”

When Liu Jianran heard this, he felt a little vinegary in his heart.

What does it mean to have fate? Is this a casual remark?

Liu Jianran didn't know: Qiu Wen also rescued Ximo.

Both rescued and picked up, in the bustling Jiangcheng, it happened by chance, and it was really fateful.

"Really? When? How did I not know? ”

"A few months ago, probably the day she was sold into Shifu." Jian Ran thought of Autumn Patterns, and his eyebrows couldn't help but smile.

Liu Jianran is even more delicious.

He has already told Ximo that he recognizes Qiu Wen as his godsister. In the future, she will not be bullied by anyone in the small kitchen, and even in the entire Shi Mansion. He is the most reliable backing of Autumn Pattern.

Ximo listened, was noncommittal, and only asked him silently: "Sure enough, it's my godsister?" ”

"Not really."

"You need to remember. A sister is a sister, whether it's done or kissed. Sometime...... Just don't be upset. Ximo took a deep look at Jian Ran.

"Look at what you said? How could I be annoyed! My brother is dead, and I don't have a sister, so I can recognize a sister, not to mention how happy I am! After speaking, Liu Jianran spread his hands, "It's a pity that I'm wandering, and I take something of little value as me." If I can get a good one, I will definitely give it to Autumn Pattern and talk about it! ”

Ximo remembered it in his heart, and he smiled with Jian Ran: "It's not difficult. You are my friend, and you have helped me a lot over the years. Here, I happened to get a good jade hairpin. Why don't you take it and give it to Akimo. ”

Jian Ran clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, you are really generous." I'll borrow it first, and I'll pay it back to you later. ”

Ximo shook his head: "Since I gave it to you, it is yours, how can I want you to return it?" ”

The two walked side by side. When I walked to the old lady's Ruixuan Hall, I happened to see a sedan chair. This sedan brook ink is familiar. Liu Jianran also stopped.

In the sedan chair, a middle-aged beauty slowly walked out.

This noble lady is the sister of Ximo's mother, Yuding, Lady Yu. Mrs. Yu didn't wear Haiqing, she was dressed in homely clothes, and she only wore a string of Buddhist beads around her neck.

The sedan curtain was lifted by Mrs. Yu's wife, Feng Fu's family. When Feng Fujia saw his uncle, he smiled and said hello. Lady Jade looked up at her son.

Mother and son looked at each other and were silent for a while.

Liu Jianran rushed forward to greet him.

Ximo finally spoke: "Mrs. is back." ”

A wife, the estrangement between the mother and son was overcome.

At that time, the mother-in-law who was waiting outside Xuanrui Hall took the lead in raising the curtain and saluting Mrs. Yu. Those who are old and have some experience have respect for Mrs. Yu in their hearts. It is only those who see the wind and the rudder and are short-sighted to flatter the Sun family.

In the end, Mrs. Yu is a wife and a son-in-law.

Aside from others, the Yu family is also a noble family. Compared with her, the Sun family is different.

Mrs. Jade looked at her son, and her heart surged. The son is outstanding, handsome and handsome, and his eyes are bright. Could it be that in this life, you must live in Panlong Temple until you die of old age?

"Mo'er, has it always been good?"

Madame Jade was sad in her heart, but her face was calm.

If...... Everything can be done again, and there will be no Mo'er in this world.

It's just that you can't turn back the clock. And the first emperor has died and is sleeping in the underground palace. Wrong is wrong. One thought was wrong, and Ximo was born.

"My son has always been good."

Ximo helped her and slowly walked towards the old lady's house. On the face, it is also necessary to be filial to the mother and the son.

"Then I'm relieved."

Mrs. Jade let her son support her. With him in the way, I suddenly felt that my body was not cold. She couldn't bear it, looked at Ximo's robe, and whispered, "It's cold, why don't you wear more?" ”

Before going to the monastery, she left her son with a full amount of silver.

"My son is not cold."

"Really?" Madame Yu pinched Ximo's palm.

Slightly hot.

"My son practices swordsmanship every day and has a very good physique."

Ximo told a lie. Half a month ago, he was also injured. He deliberately concealed it, and the old lady didn't know about it, not to mention the biological mother who couldn't see a few times a year due to a deep estrangement?

"That'...... Very good. ”

When they saw it, they all came to greet him.

Madame Yu looked at the old lady, bowed her head slightly, and stepped forward to greet her.

The old lady lowered her eyelids: "Now that you are back, it is a happy event." Sit down. ”

Shi Yuan looked at Madam Yu.

Mrs. Yu took a sip of hot tea first, and looked at the room full of people, black and pressed, full of flowers, and her heart was even more depressed. Shi Yuan glanced at her. This glance is very reluctant.

Shi Yuan coughed: "Madam, your body is thin, and the clothes in the temple are all full?" ”

"That's enough."

"Do you want to add charcoal? It's deserted after all. ”

"That's enough."

"How many more people should you prepare?"

"That's enough."

Mrs. Yu said a few "enough" in a row, which embarrassed Shi Yuan. The Aunt Sun lowered her head and reluctantly came over to say goodbye. Madame Jade is only faintly described.

Shi Yuan's three girls also asked their mother-in-law for peace.

Aunt Wen also came over.

Madame Yu looked at them and said to the married Feng Fu family: "Take out five of the sandalwood beads in my box, one for each person." ”

Lady Jade is fair.

But this made Aunt Sun unhappy.

She thinks very highly of herself. The daughter of Xiucai is also a scholarly family. Why do you want to take the same thing as Aunt Wen? Besides, she is also the old lady's own lady!

Aunt Sun was aggrieved and reluctantly thanked her.

Aunt Wen accepted it sincerely and said goodbye again.

Ximo and Yuquan also have gifts. What was given to Ximo was the four treasures of the study, and what was given to Yuquan was antique porcelain. She understands their preferences.

The old lady's gift, Mrs. Yu also prepared. What she gave to the old lady was a picture of a hundred sons embroidered by the monks of the monastery. Old people love this.

Shi Yuan coughed.

Probably, Madame has forgotten him.

Husband and wife for more than twenty years. It's only been a few years since they've been in one place.

Shi Yuan's political views were inclined to the eunuch group and loyal to the new emperor. But for Madame Yu's behavior, he adopted a tacit and even submissive attitude.

Marrying a girl from the Yu family is the will of the emperor. He did what he was told, and no matter what happened in the future, he had no grievances. It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, her heart still hasn't warmed.

Shi Yuan admits that this is a failure.

"There's also yours, sir."

Madame Yu looked at her husband and smiled slightly.

The two looked at each other again, and the past flashed by like a flint.

"Oh? What has Madame in store for me? Shi Yuan smiled, in a good mood.

"A gadget."

"What's that?" Shi Yuan couldn't wait.

The interaction between the husband and wife was all taken care of by the old lady. She drank her tea calmly and did not say a word.

"A clay tortoise."

As he spoke, Feng Fuji had already put the little turtle in the box and presented it.

When everyone saw it, they all laughed.

Especially Shi Yuan's three daughters, who were in a moment of innocence, couldn't help it for a while, and they all giggled. The old lady laughed too.

It was indeed a turtle. But it's a turtle with its head tucked inside its shell. With only four limbs and no head, it is ridiculously funny.

Aunt Sun also held back a smile. Aunt Nawen hid in the side, and also used her sleeves to cover her face.

The maids and women at the bottom are all covering their mouths with muttering.

The atmosphere is just nice.

"Madame, why did you give me a turtle without a neck?"

Shi Yuan knew that there must be a deep meaning.

Everyone laughed. Only Ximo's expression stiffened. Na Ximo looked at his father Shi Yuan, in addition to embarrassment, he also had a little pity. This is the mother's sarcasm to the father, sarcastic for his timidity and cowering.

"The tortoise is the main life. I wish you a long and safe life. Moreover, the turtle with a shrunken neck knows how to protect itself better. So I'm just sending this to you. ”

Shi Yuan smiled enlightenedly: "I see, Madame cares about me." "Gladly accepted.

Ximo looked at his father and speculated that he had seen the meaning, but he was just pretending to be stupid, but he couldn't bear it. can think that when his father came back from the capital, he was not only promoted to the title, but also received many rewards, obviously to draw a line with many of his comrades in the past.

He was entangled with the king of Ningbei and the eunuch group, and his father was bound to be an enemy of the king of Ningbei.

At that time, the battle between Luding and Ding is afraid that it will be a bloody storm.

The old lady was a little embarrassed.

Because of the right and left: "Fruit, snacks." The chicken breast I pickled the day before yesterday tasted just right. Take it and eat it with tea, it tastes good. ”

At one moment, everyone was on the table.

The old lady was afraid that Liu Jianzhi would be lonely, so she forced him to sit beside her.

Aunt Sun and Aunt Wen, because they were concubines, had to stand and arrange dinner. A few old grandmothers saw Sun's wilting appearance, thinking about her arrogance on weekdays, and they all praised her.

Sun was not convinced, and was still jealous.

Although she is a concubine, she is a good concubine hired from outside, has a marriage certificate, and she also entered the gate of Shifu in a sedan chair. On the wedding night, Shi Yuan drank wine, took her hand, and solemnly swore that he would treat her well in this life and remain the same wholeheartedly. She also took the Zhongyu clan to be absent from the mansion all the year round, and the relationship with Shi Yuan was cold, if she divorced, she would have the possibility of correcting in the future, so she willingly married him as a side room.

But twenty years have passed, Shi Ximo has become an adult, his son is also older, and Mrs. Yu is still sitting firmly in the position of Shi Fuzheng's wife, and she refuses to come down.

The lord is promoted, and the benefits are always indispensable to her.

Aunt Sun watched her son sit down loudly, like a slave, serving back and forth, her heart was sour, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Or the old lady is careful.

Called a grandmother: "Take two small sheets, you two eat on the side, and the diet is the same." ”

There were a few maids, who served plates, and the dishes eaten on the big table were also full of small tables, all of which were the same wine and dishes. Aunt Wen was resigned.

Aunt Sun is still aggrieved. Wen's maiden family is just a poor fisherman's family, where can she compare? Why do you want to eat and drink across from her?

Aunt Sun pretended to have a stomachache, saying that she had come to Kwai Shui, so she should go back early to rest.

"That's it, if you want to go, you can go."

The old lady was a little impatient.

Na Yuquan only cared about eating and drinking, and did not care about his mother's feelings at all.

Aunt Sun glanced at her son resentfully, stared at Shi Yuan's face again, and cursed in her heart: "Don't come over tonight." If I come, I will not wait! When she came home, you forgot about me completely. Anyway, the person who works hard every day in this house is me. Since you husband and wife have a good relationship, why do you want to hire me? ”

Aunt Sun's words are also not right.

It's all about her love for vanity. It is better to be a rich concubine than a poor wife.

During the banquet, the old lady ordered someone to clean the house for Mrs. Yu. Mrs. Yu looked at her son and said, "I'm not busy." Tonight, I'm staying in the house of Rice Herb Luximo. ”

Shi Ximo was stunned, he looked at his mother.

Mother wants to live with him?

He's a little unused to it. Cramped. I never saw my mother for more than an hour. Somehow, there was still some nervousness, and there was also a faint ...... Joy.

The joy is gone, but the heart is full of bitterness.

In ordinary families, it is very common for mother and son to talk about each other. But it is a luxury and hard to find with him.

Liu Jian was dyed on the plate but agreed: "So good, so good." There is already an empty room in the Rice Herb House, waiting for your wife to take the time to stay. It's all there. ”

Why did Lady Jade go to the cottage?

She naturally has something to say to Ximo.

She practiced in a monastery and was not ignorant of the world. What her son did, Mrs. Yu knew.

"Really?" Lady Jade looked at Jian Ran.

"Madame should believe it. Ximo has always been filial. But whenever the weather is bad, or it rains or snows, he always stands by the window and talks to you. ”
