237 People from Jinling (angry and indisputable)
Such an atmosphere made people feel very uncomfortable, and the carriage did not stop until it came to the outside of the Rongguo Mansion.
The capital is close to the north, although it is already autumn, but the moment you get off the carriage, the cold wind still blows Wang Tingzhen and her party tighten their cloaks.
The Rongguo Mansion was also hung with white silk, and the white lanterns were swaying in the cold wind, which was very bleak.
The reception of the two was Ruan Lingyin, who is now in charge of the Rongguo Mansion.
Ruan Lingyin is the daughter of the Ruan family in Beigang, and the Ruan family in Beigang is equivalent to the Wei family in Jinling.
She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly in front of Wei and Wang Tingzhen.
"My sister-in-law has not recovered from the fact that the prince left, she has been sick, and now she is unwilling to speak, she lies down after eating every day, and the curtains are drawn in the house, and no one pays attention to it."
Ruan Lingyin sighed, but Wang Tingzhen felt sour when she heard it.
Wei's face was a little gloomy, and he said: "Mrs. Shizi, we are her closest relatives, and we came here from Jinling on purpose, just to worry about her, since this is the case, we still rushed over to see her, and we won't sit more." ”
Ruan Lingyin laughed dryly, and then ordered Chunhe: "Chunhe, take the two ladies to the South Garden." ”
Wei and Wang Tingzhen didn't say anything, and followed Chunhe to South Park.
Compared with other yards in the South Garden, the South Bamboo Forest in Weirui is vibrant, the ivy on the promenade begins to sprout, and the tender blue color is very eye-catching.
Zhou Qiao'er was wearing a pea-green thin jacket and came out with the medicine bowl that Lin Yu'an had just drunk, and was a little surprised to see Chunhe taking the Wei family into the courtyard.
Neither Wei nor Wang Tingzhen had ever seen Zhou Qiaoer, and Zhou Qiaoer did not know Wei and Wang Tingzhen, so they looked at each other in pairs, and they were stunned for a moment.
Chunhe was a sweet-mouthed person, and he stepped forward and shouted Zhou Qiao'er: "Sister Qiao'er, the princess has a guest, and she bothered her sister to go in and report it." ”
The princess's guests, the princess has been sick like this recently, where else are the guests?
When she thought of Mrs. Fang and the Chen family before, her eyes were a little unpolite, thinking that they were poor relatives who came to fight the autumn breeze.
"What kind of guest, did you come in with a post in advance, and came here in a hurry, I don't know if the princess is still sick?"
Chunhe saw that Zhou Qiao'er was speaking so unpolitely, a strange look flashed on her face, she was the identity of the two ladies, Zhou Qiao'er spoke like this, she was afraid that she was going to anger the princess, but she smiled on her face, "Sister, the two ladies are from Jinling, you go in and talk to the princess, the princess will know who it is, and you have to have a good word if you don't see it, right?" ”
Zhou Qiao'er wanted to say something, but the door curtain was raised from the inside, Nan Yu stretched out his head and glanced at the two of them.
"Old lady, three old lady."
This title made Wei and Wang Tingzhen both smile a little bitterly, but thinking that they were both grandmothers, it was okay to call the old lady. Nan Yu and they have all seen it, and when they heard Nan Yu's voice at this time, their eyes couldn't help but show a bright color.
"Sister An'er...... Where's the princess? ”
Wang Tingzhen blurted out that she wanted to call Lin Yu'an's name, but she hurriedly changed her words, and Nanyu had already greeted her.
Wei and Wang Tingzhen followed Nanyu into the house, Zhou Qiao'er was a little flustered, she had such an attitude just now, if the princess knew, she was afraid that her errand would be lost.
I can only look at the mistakes and see if I can find an opportunity to make up for the work.
As soon as she entered the house, Wang Tingzhen frowned, the room was full of smoke, and it was the same as the temple, the smell of fireworks in a room.
"What's going on?"
Wei looked around suspiciously, and under the dim light in the room, the fog between the beams in the room could be faintly seen.
The house was cleaned every day, and it was quite clean, and Nanyu went to turn on the lamp, and the house was lit up.
With a faint smell of medicine, Lin Yu'an sat in the place where the dressing table was originally placed, and the dressing table was replaced by a long table with a Buddhist shrine enshrined on it, and half of the incense in the incense burner in front of the Buddhist shrine was burned.
Hearing footsteps, Lin Yu'an suddenly stood up and threw himself behind him, "Yu Jia, are you back?" ”
Wei was taken aback, and Wang Tingzhen forgot to react for a while, but fortunately, Lin Yuan just hugged Wei tightly, shouting Yu Jia in his mouth, and his voice couldn't help but move.
Wang Tingzhen looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, her mind was a little confused, she didn't expect that her daughter would become like this now.
I couldn't tell if it was heartache or regret in my heart, she stepped forward and pulled Lin Yu'an, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "You sober me up, the prince has gone, the deceased has passed away, the living live forever, he won't know your appearance, maybe the corpse has rotted!" ”
I don't know if Wang Tingzhen's words played a role, Lin Yu'an's eyes gradually became clearer.
But there was still no big reaction, Wang Tingzhen's hand was tightly clasped on her shoulder, "Yu'an, you are no longer a person who can grow up with children casually, the two children are still young, if you can't support the palace, this family will be scattered!" ”
Child...... Lin Yu'an felt the numb pain in her heart as if there were millions of ants gnawing at her heart, she reacted a little slowly, slowly raised her head, looked at her mother's angry and unhappy eyes, and felt like she had fallen asleep and just woken up.
But no one expected that in the next breath, Lin Yu'an would directly fall into a coma.
"Remove all the mess in the house, open the windows, and ventilate."
Wang Tingzhen rarely showed the look of the main family, commanding Nanyu Nanfeng and Zhou Qiao'er who followed up to clean up the house.
Wei's eyes involuntarily turned red, she took Wang Tingzhen's hand, and her voice was hoarse: "How did Sister An become like this, I don't know what happened to the children, the prince was gone on the eighth day of the second month, and now it's March 15, I knew that we should have come back earlier, and things wouldn't have become like this." ”
Wang Tingzhen glanced at Lin Yu'an on the couch and pulled Wei to the outer room.
"She, I think the sky is falling, this will become like this, I think at that time, when her father went, although I was not like her, but I also cried into tears."
Wei Shi felt very sorry, took a sip of tea, took out a handkerchief and pressed the corners of his eyes, "The prince is young, why is it gone, I just can't figure it out!" ”
Yu Jia died, but he was twenty-six years old, the ancients stood in their thirties, Yu Jia was in the prime of life at this age, a good person, how could he say that he was gone.
Wang Tingzhen also didn't understand, she felt that this matter was unusual, she had never heard of anything unusual about Yu Jia.
Thinking of this, she asked Wei: "I think this matter should be asked well, Yu Jia, this child, has been rising step by step since he took Sister An'er, and now he has become the emperor's uncle, the emperor died on the front foot, and Yu Jia followed on the back foot, I don't think it's unusual to think about this thing." ”
Wei nodded thoughtfully, "This matter will be known when Sister An wakes up and calms down, and then ask her well." ”
The two of them didn't talk about this topic again, Wang Tingzhen took a deep breath, stood up, suddenly looked around, and found that he didn't see Xu's mother when he came back, at this time Nanyu came out and said that the house was cleaned up, Wang Tingzhen asked her: "Where did Xu's mother go, I haven't seen her." ”
Nanyu replied respectfully: "Mother Xu took the little prince and the county lord in the west wing, oh, and Miss Ping'an, at this time, I should also know that the old lady is here, I will let people go over and have a look." ”
Wang Tingzhen nodded, "Well, let her bring the children over too, I haven't seen the children for a long time." ”
Nan Yu whispered yes and turned around to order.
Wei Shi turned crying into laughter and said, "Brother Sheng'er is afraid that he will be able to spread his feet and run away, and it was only a few months when I saw him at that time!" ”
Speaking of her grandson, a smile also appeared on Wang Tingzhen's face.
This light-hearted topic was broken by Xu's mother and a few children who came to the hall after a cup of tea.
Mother Xu heard that Wang Tingzhen and Wei were coming, and she felt relieved, and when she saw the two of them, she immediately stepped forward and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Old lady, three old lady!" ”
Seeing her old tears, Wei was also embarrassed, Wang Tingzhen's eyes were also a little red, Xu's mother followed Mrs. Wang, her mother has been a person for many years, she has a kind of heartache of seeing things and thinking about people, and things are wrong.
"Hurry up, Mother Xu! Sister An has been sick these days, I'm afraid I'm counting on you! ”
Hearing Wang Tingzhen call her you, Mother Xu couldn't help but feel sour, feeling that the grievances and sadness of these days had also disappeared, as a subordinate, she longed for the approval of her master all her life, and Mrs. Wang recognized her, so she was relieved to hand Lin Yu'an into her hands, but she felt that she had not done a good job.
She couldn't stop her tears from falling and knelt on the ground, "The old slave failed Mrs. Tai's entrustment and failed to take care of the princess, which is the old slave's dereliction of responsibility!" ”
Hearing the crying in the house, Brother Sheng and Sister Shu felt overwhelmed, and Ping An cried.
Hearing the cry, Wang Tingzhen turned her head to look and saw a middle-aged woman holding an infant child in her arms.
"This ...... Who is this child? ”
Mother Xu remembered that she hadn't introduced Ping An to Wang Tingzhen and Wei, wiped a handful of tears, and beckoned the nurse to bring the child over.
Because now Brother Sheng and Sister Shu have been weaned, Mrs. Chen is responsible for temporarily breastfeeding Ping An, and the nurse before Ping An has been sent out of the house.
Mrs. Chen hurriedly hugged Ping'an over and stopped between Wang Tingzhen and Wei.
This child is now four months old, it can't be Lin Yu'an's birth, Wei's face subconsciously became a little gloomy, "This child is a concubine?" ”
Although she is not a mean housewife, she still doesn't have a good impression of her.
Mother Xu knew a little about Ping'an, but now that there are so many people, Lin Yu'an decided to keep Ping'an by her side, so she had to nod.
"Yes, it was born to Yue Xiaoniang, Yue Xiaoniang died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and the princess took pity on her, so she took her to the main house to raise."
Wei looked at the child again, and felt that Lin Yu'an was also a concubine at that time, but Lin Yu'an's well-behaved was beyond expectations, and this child was just a girl, and when she got married, she would pay some dowry, and the displeasure in her heart would dissipate.
"Is this kid a name?"
Wei Shi looked up and asked Xu's mother, Xu's mother shook her head, "Because I am still too young, there is only one breast named Ping'an." ”
After listening to Xu's mother's words, Wei lowered his head and didn't say anything more, Wang Tingzhen teased the child, and asked Mrs. Chen to hold the child down.
She looked at Brother Sheng'er and Sister Shu'er, who were standing far away, and shouted slowly: "Brother Sheng'er, come to my grandmother and my third grandmother." ”
Where Brother Sheng stood, bowed his head and didn't speak, and didn't go to Wang Tingzhen, Wei smiled and said: "The third grandmother is too tongue-twisting, and the child is still young." ”
Wang Tingzhen saw that none of the two children came over, and felt a little uncomfortable, "No matter how young the children are, they must understand that those relatives are good to them, how old they are, they don't recognize people." ”
Hearing the displeasure in Wang Tingzhen's voice, Wei smiled and comforted her: "Okay, the children were still young at that time, where do you remember that you hugged them, you have been to Jinling for so long, and the children have grown so big when you come back, it's normal not to remember, take your time, the children are innocent, if you treat them well, they will naturally understand." ”
Wang Tingzhen couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and sighed, "Brother Sheng, come on, my grandmother has brought delicious food back, do you want to eat it?" ”
Mother Xu couldn't help sighing when she saw the two children in a daze, taking care of the two children, "Why don't you go, this is your maternal grandmother and third grandmother, mother's mother and third aunt." ”
Brother Sheng turned his head to look at his sister, reached out and grabbed his sister's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you're not a bad person." ”
Wang Tingzhen felt that her heart was stabbed by something, and she looked at the two children distressedly, and she was even more angry with her daughter, this is what a mother is? The children are now so cowering, timid and afraid, and when they see the living people who are timid, no one will believe that this is the heir of the palace.
Brother Sheng walked over with his sister, and Wei comforted Wang Tingzhen: "You, don't say anything, the children have just lost their father, and their mother is sick again, so it will be good to raise them well in the future." ”
Saying that, Wei went to greet Sister Shu'er, and her voice was kind: "You are Sister Shu'er, ouch, our Sister Shu is so good-looking, who combed your hair?" ”
Sister Shu seemed to like Wei very much, her tight little face also relaxed, her big eyes flickered, and she showed a mouthful of small teeth when she spoke.
"It's Mama Xu who tied my hair."
didn't say a word, but Wei's heart seemed to be covered by something, and he suddenly felt warm, feeling distressed and sad.
Wang Tingzhen looked at Brother Sheng'er who had a big idea in front of her, and she didn't know whether to be relieved or heartbroken, she still slowed down her voice and asked Brother Sheng'er: "Have you come to see your mother these days?" ”
Brother Sheng stayed for a moment, shook his head, and said nothing.
