The three of them discussed it properly, and Mrs. Tang said that it happened that tomorrow was the fifteenth, and according to the usual practice, General Duan would definitely return to the General's Mansion, and they could try their luck.

Mrs. Tang explained to them that although there is a Protector General's Mansion in Wushui City, General Duan will not return to the mansion every day, and will come back from time to time every month to live intermittently for a few days, but he will definitely return on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

Because she was not sure whether General Duan was the person Mei Niang was looking for, Mrs. Tang suggested that they go over early tomorrow and wait nearby, if they could see General Duan's appearance, they would naturally be able to recognize it. If not, then forget it.

"General Duan's voice is good, this method is still feasible, even if he detects it, it will not be good. I won't go tomorrow, and if there is an accident, I can solve it. Also, I think it's better not to bring the kids there. Mrs. Tang said again.

Mei Niang and Su Jin both nodded.

Mrs. Tang is right not to go, in case the general is not Mei Niang's husband, in case she happens to feel annoyed by being watched and ordered to arrest someone, Mrs. Tang can still move and think about solving the problem.

And Duan Xiaomo is a child, and it is better not to go without being sure that it is his father.

Su Jin smiled and said, "Sister Mei, if you don't dislike it, how about I accompany you tomorrow?" ”

Mei Niang nodded and thanked gratefully.

This night, Mei Niang was destined to have no sleep all night.

Tears and laughter for a while, gloom for a while, and can't help but beat faster and excited.

What if, if that's really her husband......

Early the next morning, Su Jin accompanied Mei Niang to the Protector General's Mansion, accompanied by Gu Yunzheng and Bai Shao.

The carriage got off at the mouth of the alley, ordered the coachman to park the car, and several people sat and waited under the tea shed on the side.

The Protector General's Mansion and several other generals' mansions are in this alley, and this is the entrance.

They can only wait here.

How can you stay in front of the palace of the dignified protector general? If anyone dares to run to the gate of the general's mansion to probe his brain, he is afraid that he will soon be driven away by the guards and soldiers.

Mei Niang was very nervous and looked into the distance from time to time.

However, half a day has passed, and the protector general still has not returned.

But there were three generals with personal guards in the past, riding on tall horses, majestic. But none of them are protectors.

Mei Niang was a little disappointed and a little reluctant.

"Sister Su, why don't you go back first, I'll just wait here by myself."

She had made up her mind that she would wait here, and if she couldn't wait, then wait until dark.

Su Jin originally wanted to wait with her, but Cho Dong came in a hurry, saying that Tang Liu's shopkeeper had brought back several special medicinal materials, and it had been delayed for two days on the road, so it was best to deal with it as soon as possible today.

Seeing this, Mei Niang hurriedly said, "Sister Su, go quickly!" It's just waiting for someone, and I can wait for it myself. ”

"Okay, I'll let Bai Shao stay here with you, you wait slowly, and I'll call someone to pick you up in the evening." Looking at Mei Niang's posture, she will never leave today.

Mei Niang smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Su." ”

Mei Niang didn't even go to lunch, so she ate some snacks at random in this tea shed. I don't dare to drink too much tea, but I only drink a sip or two to moisten my throat when I am thirsty, for fear that I will miss it if I need a small solution.

It was strange for the old couple guarding the tea shed to see them sitting for most of the day.

In the afternoon, there was no one, and the old woman saw that Mei Niang was good-looking, so she sat down to talk to her, and inevitably asked if they were waiting for someone here?

This alley is inhabited by the generals of the military camp, and the old couple has taken advantage of the location because of the ancestral house here, and they can make a lot of money every day by setting up a tea shed here. Seeing Mei Niang like this, the old woman knew it at a glance.

Because Mei Niang is not the only one who has waited for someone here.

Mei Niang didn't want to say it, but when she thought about it, the two old people lived here, maybe she knew a lot about the Protector General's Mansion? Then he nodded: "Well, I'm waiting for the general to protect the country, I heard that the general will return home today." ”

"General Duan?" The old woman was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart that General Duan was the most unsmiling and cold person on weekdays, and there were really not many people who came to him, so she smiled and said, "I don't know if this lady is a relative of General Duan?" ”

Mei Niang hesitated: "It's hard to say this." I'm also not sure if General Duan is the person I'm looking for, if so...... Relatives indeed......"

The old woman clapped her hands and laughed: "This lady is a real person! It's a shame that you told me, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to wait for General Duan even if I waited here for a day. ”

Mei Niang was shocked: "Why? ”

The old woman smiled: "Because General Duan returned home last evening!" It should be in the house now! Usually tomorrow will leave early in the morning. ”

Mei Niang thanked her, feeling a little empty in her heart.

The old woman said kindly: "Since Madam is a relative of General Duan's Mansion, it is better to go directly to the door to find it." ”

Mei Niang also thinks so, since she is here, she can't just leave.

and Bai Shao left the tea shed, and the two soon came to the gate of the Protector General's Mansion.

Mei Niang doesn't know words, but she can recognize the commonly used word white peony.

has been wandering with her son for more than four years, even if Mei Niang looks weak, she is not a timid and cowardly person in her bones, otherwise she and her son would not be alive today.

Sorting out her mood, under the scrutiny of the two guards, Mei Niang stepped forward calmly, squeezing out a few smiles on her face: "May I ask the two, General Duan is in the mansion?" ”

"Who are you?" A cold light burst out of one person's eyes, and he asked coldly.

Mei Niang's heart jumped suddenly, and she gasped and calmed down: "I, I, I'm from Huainan Dao, yes, I want to see General Duan, maybe ...... We are fellow countrymen. ”

The two guards sneered and looked at Mei Niang mockingly.

"This old-fashioned excuse is better to save it, go quickly! Our generals are not what anyone can see if they want to! ”

Mei Niang stumbled under her feet, Bai Shao hurriedly stepped forward to support her, took out two sachets and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the two, and said with a smile: "Two uncles, please help me report it." There is a person in our wife's village who has the same name as the general, and the lady is not sure whether it is General Duan or not. But if it is, Madame has news of General Duan's family that needs to be brought to General Duan......"

The two looked at each other, both hesitating.

Mei Niang hurriedly said: "Please help the two of you, I am from Li County, Tongcheng, Huainan Province, please help inform me." ”

Tongcheng Li County? They don't know this, but the general is indeed a native of Huainan Dao.

"Alright, you wait."

As soon as the two of them came to take the benefits, which were quite satisfying; Second, if this woman really brought the news of the general's relatives and was delayed by them, they could not afford the consequences.
