The county lord of Shuzhen married to the Zheng family for more than 40 years and gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Zheng Mu, was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple at the time, and married his wife Guan Shi; The second son Zheng Han and the third son Zheng Gan were both released as officials and were not in the capital; The youngest daughter Zheng Xiang is Chen Muzhi's biological mother and the wife of Chen Yu'an, the Duke of Anguo.

A few years ago, the old Shangshu Zheng Dingyuan died of illness, and the county lord Shuzhen was too sad and couldn't afford to be sick. Everyone thought that she was going to follow her husband, but Chen Yu'an brought Liu Zhengyi over, and after some careful healing, he finally pulled the county lord back from the line of life and death.

Now the lord of Shuzhen lives in the ancestral house with his eldest son Zheng Mu, and he lives in a simple house on weekdays, and does not like to participate in the entertainment of the nobles in the capital.

She doesn't like to hear people call her the county lord anymore, but she wants to call her the old lady of the Zheng family, she feels that Zheng Dingyuan, the heroic Tanhualang back then, is still with her.

Chen Muzhi disappeared at sea with his father, and then the news that Chen Muxi fell into the water and died reached the Zheng family, and the old lady fainted on the spot, and after being rescued, she cried for three days, and her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't see anyone.

Guan asked Zheng Cunfang to move directly to the old lady's room, and talked with her every day to relieve her boredom, and gradually eased up.

Now that she heard that Chen Muzhi was finally saved, the old lady had been looking forward to seeing her for a long time.

Early in the morning, the Guogong Mansion sent two housekeepers to Zheng's house to report that Chen Muzhi would come before noon. The old lady began to look forward to the stars and the moon, and after a while said, "Cunfang, is there any movement outside?" ”

Zheng Cunfang smiled: "Grandmother, you can have breakfast first, Mu Zhi didn't come over so soon." ”

After a while, the old lady said again: "I heard that Mu Zhi has made a lot of noise in the Guogong Mansion in the past two days and beat the girl from her stepmother's mother's house?" ”

Zheng Cunfang smiled again: "Grandmother, you are also a good ear, and the wind blowing from the Yujun Wangfu has been heard by your old man." ”

"Do you think that when your grandmother is old, her ears will not work?"

"Spirit, of course. Grandmother not only has ears but also a bright heart. ”

The two of them talked amusefully, and they didn't feel that the sun was three poles, and a maid ran in from the courtyard outside, saying that the girl with a wooden branch was coming.

The old lady was about to stand up, and Chen Muzhi's voice had already come from outside the door.

"Grandmother!" She shouted coquettishly, and before her voice could fall, the people had already rushed into the house.

Before the old lady could react, Chen Muzhi already knelt on the ground and made a big salute.

"Muzhi, get up quickly and let my grandmother see it."

Chen Muzhi raised his body, knelt down in front of the old lady, grabbed her hand tightly, and smiled brightly.

"Grandmother doesn't cry, the wood branch is fine."

The old lady's tears had already been stored in her eyes, and when Chen Muzhi said this, she couldn't help but shed it.

"Stinky girl, I'm going to cry somewhere, you have to recruit me."

Chen Muzhi looked at the old lady with tears streaming down her face, but she still had to laugh and scold herself, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

"I should have come to your old man's house as soon as I came back, but there have been many accidents at home, and it has been delayed, so don't be surprised."

The old lady had a tiger on her face: "I'm about to settle accounts with you!" ”

"Ah......" Chen Muzhi was stunned, his eyes rolled, afraid that his grandmother would punish him for sneaking onto the warship.

This is a big mistake, the court did not punish its own crimes, and it was also for the sake of his father's disappearance, and he opened his net to himself.

Sure enough, the old lady said: "First of all, you are bold, you usually follow your father to dance with knives and guns, and you also go to the battlefield?" And it's a ship, and there's no taboo! ”

If it is still the previous Chen Muzhi, he will definitely not be convinced, and he will not feel that there is anything wrong with him. But now Chen Muzhi, even if he doesn't feel that he is wrong, he can push himself and others, and take into account the worldliness of the people.

So, Chen Muzhi did not distinguish and bowed his head and confessed.

"One more incident, how can I get into trouble with your relatives as soon as I go home, and it will spread all over the capital. You're a girl, do you want this reputation? ”

Chen Muzhi was stunned, but he heard something else.

Although the old lady is counting her own crimes, this count is actually for her own sake.

Chen Muzhi didn't get up, he still knelt in front of the old lady's knees, looked at her pitifully, and said in a low voice: "The cousin of the Wang family occupies my sister's Liuxiangju, and the uncle of the Wang family secretly covets the objects of the Liuxiangju, and you also know that most of the treasures in the Liuxiangju are left by my mother to my sister......"

The old lady's face became solemn, and after a while, she said slowly: "It's light to beat her." ”

"Right, that's what you say, right?"

The old lady looked around the room and waved her hand gently, and Zheng Cunfang immediately obediently withdrew with a few maids.

Finally, only the grandparents and grandchildren were left in the house, and the old lady helped Chen Muzhi up, sat beside her, and said, "Tell my grandmother, what else have you done besides beating people?" ”

"Take my sister's two personal maids, Vine Flower and Guerlain, to Ning Xiangju. The property booklet of Liuxiangju is in my mother's hand, but I have left a handprint on the front page and the riding side, and she can't fake it. The people of the Wang family are currently living in the Ingenuity Garden, and Liuxiangju has sent reliable people to guard it. In addition......"

The old lady nodded slightly as she listened, as if she was quite satisfied with Chen Muzhi's disposition.

"What else?"

"I'm afraid that they won't be able to move the idea of staying in Xiangju, and they will have other evil thoughts, so I secretly entrusted the people in the account room to pay attention to the money in the house."

The old lady pondered for a moment and asked, "You can do the ones ahead." The nursing home at home, depending on how you got along with them before, can also be used. But this is the ...... After all, you are still a minor girl, and you have been away from home for several months, how can you have such a big face and be able to support the account room? ”

"You can rest assured. This bookkeeper is my confidant's own brother, a very reliable person. ”

The old lady stretched out her hand to arrange her dress, touched the sachet on her waist, and couldn't help but say, "What's in it?" ”

Chen Muzhi untied the sachet and took out the three copper coins from the red string.

"Which kind of careful girl is this, using the old customs of the past to prevent disasters and avoid disasters for you."

"It's made of vine flowers."

The old lady looked at the three copper coins for a long time, and finally put the copper coins back into the sachet and tied them again for Chen Muzhi.

"This sachet is the only embroidery you made by Xuenuhong, and Mu Xi has been wearing it as a baby, and now it has returned to its original owner."

Chen Muzhi knew that the old lady was missing Chen Muxi.

"It's not that the thing is returned to its original owner, it's that my sister is already with me."

The old lady looked at her with some confusion in her eyes.

Chen Muzhi said: "Since I put on this sachet, I often dream of my sister, she talks to me, explains my doubts, and tells me how to act safely. Therefore, I see it as if my sister is here. ”

"It turned out to be a fetish. It's no wonder that our wood branches have finally given birth to some scheming, it's not easy. ”

The old lady of the Zheng family patted the sachet, it seemed that the sachet was really attached to Chen Muxi's soul, and she wanted to send Chen Muxi infinite thoughts and love.
