The person who expected to come must be the mother, who waited outside the Qingqiu Pavilion early, but when he saw the lights shining, the familiar figure came slowly, and he didn't have time to shout "Mother", and he was already in tears.

When the mother and daughter saw each other, they looked at each other without saying a word, and the citron was stupid to wipe her tears on the side, but Cuizhu reminded: "Young lady, please come into the house, how cold it is outside." ”

Fu Yi came back to his senses, took his mother's hand in his arms, and brought it into Qingqiu Pavilion, while instructing the mother who was in charge of the door: "Go to the old lady, the eldest lord and the lady for me to tell you, and I will take my mother to meet later." ”

It was when dinner was spread everywhere, Zhu Chengqian was very surprised when he heard that his mother had arrived, he turned to look at his wife on the side, and the eldest lady sat down at the dining table and smiled coldly: "It's so late, but you can come to the door with a meal, you are really a person who doesn't lose your mouth." Shouldn't someone send a post to inform me that I will come back tomorrow during the day, I am really a countryman, and there are no rules at all. ”

Zhu Chengqian said: "The two families are related, the grace of the saint is vast, you shouldn't be disgusted with the poor and love the rich, change your clothes, and go over with me." ”

The eldest lady glanced at her husband: "What, do you want me to kowtow?" ”

Zhu Chengqian shook his head helplessly, and instructed his subordinates: "Please invite the in-laws to the old lady's courtyard, and I will come later." ”

In the Qingqiu Pavilion, the two of the citron and the cuizhu were waiting for the wind and dust to wash and warm their bodies, and the mother and the nurse did not have much luggage, only a few warm clothes and silver copper plates, and the citron asked her mother: "Why didn't the master come?" ”

Fu Yi wiped his tears and asked, "Daddy didn't come?" ”

The master and servant looked at each other, and Mrs. Yan said to her daughter embarrassedly: "We ran out secretly, and after your father chased it out, there was really no way, so he entrusted us to the dart game along the way, and walked half the way as a companion." The road behind is close to the capital, so it is easy to go, that is, under the city gate today, everyone who enters the city has to be interrogated, and it has been delayed for a long time, otherwise we can come in before sunset. No one in the capital knows about the Zhongguo Mansion, and we found it as soon as we asked. “

The nurse said on the side: "After the family received the news, the old lady was very happy, and the lady immediately wanted to visit you, but the old man did not agree. Madame did not sleep well for two days in a row, and at last we brought a few pieces of clothing, took the money, and ran out on our own. ”

"It's too nonsense, it's getting colder and colder...... Fu Yi said, and he couldn't help laughing, "yes, go to the capital, don't feel cold." ”

Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "After entering the city, I heard from the people on the road that this is the first snow? ”

Without waiting for Fuyi's answer, the eldest sister-in-law came over, and politely greeted Fuyi's mother, saying that her mother-in-law was not good, and she couldn't come to see each other today, it was getting late, and it was inconvenient for the male dependents to come over, so please don't mind the in-laws.

Not long after, Mama Rui also arrived, and warmly invited Mrs. Yan to the inner courtyard.

Whether it is the daughter's sister-in-law, or the grandmother in the old lady's house, everyone comes, followed by four or five maids and women, plus the inside and outside of this Qingqiu Pavilion, and the person who holds the lamp on the road outside, it is said that Fang is in the gatehouse, and there are several small guards guarding it.

Mrs. Yan has also seen such a style in Prince Sheng's mansion, but the population of the palace is simple, and it is far less lively than here.

The group hugged the mother and daughter to the inner courtyard, and Ping Jue was already waiting under the eaves, respectfully saluting Mrs. Yan.

I heard that the fifth son who was sick was mentioned in front of her daughter, Mrs. Yan couldn't help but show a curious look, and said softly: "I'll explain it to you later." ”

At this time, the old lady personally greeted her outside the door and was overjoyed: "When my mother arrives, it is really rude to miss the welcome, the weather is cold, and I sit in the house quickly." ”

Mrs. Yan Zhou Zheng saluted dignifiedly: "Old lady, please give you peace, thank you for your care, and the younger generation is grateful." ”

The old lady smiled and instructed the maids: "Don't just watch, quickly help the lady in." ”

The family sat down, Xinghuatang came to pass on Zhu Chengqian's words, saying that he would come over in a moment, and the old lady simply ordered: "Please your master doesn't have to come over, he is working hard today, it's getting late, it's not too late to meet tomorrow, and I will naturally take good care of my in-laws." ”

Mrs. Yan got up and said, "I really shouldn't have come so suddenly, please forgive me." ”

The old lady smiled and said: "I am happy to help her like this, I will surprise her, and I will not worry about your safety on the road, but I can't be so polite next time, write a letter early, and I will send a carriage and a boat to pick you up." ”

Fuyi was happy in his heart, and helped his mother to sit down: "Grandma, she is the most kind and amiable, don't be restrained." ”

The old lady looked at the mother and daughter carefully, her eyebrows were really a little similar, and when she wanted to say that when Mrs. Yan was young, her appearance would not let her daughter, and more importantly, she was demure and dignified, not losing her generosity and calmness, and she was not timid and restrained when she saw herself.

All kinds of dishes were sent up, Chu Xue didn't eat here, and after sitting with him for a while, he had to go back first, and repeatedly asked Mrs. Yan to sit still, and then he resigned.

The old lady said with a smile: "Rong'er is on an expedition to the border, just not at home, there are a few rooms in the Qingqiu Pavilion, and they are properly cleaned up on weekdays, don't be polite to the mother-in-law, our family doesn't have those rules, let's live in the courtyard of the daughter and son-in-law tonight, and the mother and daughter can also take care of it." ”

At this time, there was another person in Xiyuan, it was the third lady who sent someone to greet her, and the old lady knew that her youngest son and daughter-in-law were sad and sad because of leaving Huizhi today, and her eyes were red and swollen and she couldn't come to meet guests, so she coped with a few words, and sent them away.

There are so many people in the family, just sending people in, there are waves after waves, Fuyi felt that his mother was a little nervous, so he gently squeezed her hand under the table.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and Mrs. Yan couldn't help but relax a lot.

Thinking that my mother must have felt guilty for the sudden visit, but when she came, she just wanted to have a good reunion, and she didn't want to care about those etiquette rules.

However, the old lady is really happy, it is hard to help the pregnancy, if it were not for the tense situation in Beijing, she would have wanted to bring her own mother to her, sure enough, mother and daughter are connected, how can a mother put down her daughter to bear the hardships alone in a foreign place, Mrs. Yan came by herself, and she hit her heart.

It's just a pity that it's half a day late, and the old lady said: "Otherwise, I can meet my aunt and my girls, and this will be lively." ”

Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "Next time, the junior will come with your nephew, and our husband and wife will meet the princess again." ”

Counting up, Mrs. Yan wants to call the old lady an aunt, although the Yan family and the old lady's sister-in-law have already produced five suits, but the ancestors are even relatives, not to mention that they have now become in-laws.

At the mention of the girls, the old lady remembered and hurriedly instructed Mama Rui: "Send someone to Min's house to spread a message and tell Yun'er that the in-laws have arrived, and call her to come and ask for peace." ”

Mrs. Yan hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, I really don't dare to be." ”

The old lady said happily: "Your own child, you should only treat it as a support, she must be happy to know that you are coming." ”

When the descendants of the Zhu family went to this mansion to spread the word, he happened to meet Min Yanshi returning, he was tired, and when he saw that it was the lantern of the Duke's Palace, he naturally stopped.

The subordinates directly reported to their uncle, saying that Kishu's in-laws had arrived, and the old lady asked the young lady to come over to say goodbye.

Min Yanshi responded: "I will convey it, and you will also pass on a message for me and the young lady to say hello to the in-laws." ”

With that, he went straight to the door, and while listening to the housekeeper's account of the family, the old man had already returned home and was waiting in the study.

But Min Yanshi stopped and said: "Tell my father, I will see him again tomorrow, there is nothing important at the moment, and there is no way to do it for a while." We can't work hard in the palace, concubine Niangniang, don't ...... Min Cairen has moved to the side palace, and he has been grounded and thought about it, and he is not allowed to see each other. ”

The housekeeper should get down, and he saw the son striding away, the cold snowflakes fell on the tip of the butler's nose, and he got up with his hands to keep warm.

When the son walked away, he took the little servant to the master's study, and muttered on the way: "Our eldest son, it looks like it's not the same as before, but I can't tell what is different." ”

On this side, as soon as Min Yanshi entered the courtyard gate, he noticed that the house was quiet, and Scarlet Tong came from the side room, took the windbreaker taken off by his uncle, and said: "The young lady fell asleep, and she was tired of calculating the account books in the afternoon, and she fell asleep without eating." ”

Min Yanshi came in, the room was as warm as spring, but only two candles were lit, and Scarlet Tong wanted to follow up to light the lamp, but he stopped him: "I'll take a look first." ”

As he spoke, he walked inside, and saw Yunzhi lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt, with his clothes untaken off, shoes and socks on his feet, sleeping soundly.

Min Yanshi squatted down and carefully took off his wife's shoes, but the person in the dream seemed to be frightened, kicked his leg suddenly, and kicked Min Yanshi's shoulder, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Yunzhi was awakened, but when she opened her eyes, she seemed to be very unfamiliar with everything in front of her, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, until she heard her husband's voice say, "I knew that sooner or later I would be kicked by you." ”

The sleepy-eyed man sat up, looked at the person on the ground stupidly, and asked inexplicably, "What are you doing sitting on the ground?" ”
