Mama Rui hadn't left yet, so she turned around and said angrily, "Old lady, why did you tell the slave to come?" At this point, you ask? ”

The old lady had a weak heart, so she just pretended not to understand and sent her away: "Hurry up and take a look, don't tell her to wait." ”

The happiest thing is Mama Rui, she knows in her heart that the old lady also likes other people's children, and she had smiled at Zhu Rong earlier, and with this situation, Zhu Rong finally understood what Mama smiled at her that day.

He took a few mouthfuls of food, deliberately stuffing his mouth so that it was difficult to open his mouth, but his grandmother did not stop, looking at him with crooked eyebrows and a look of anticipation.

Zhu Rong had to swallow the food in his mouth, and he was angry that his grandmother had taught Yun Zhi like this, and the grandparents and grandchildren were naughty, and their smiles were the same.

"Little thing, how old are you, to say that your old grandmother is naughty?" The old lady sneered, "No, it's not right. ”

Zhu Rong said: "You just tease me, don't scare other girls, besides, there are many people in the family, and if you spread one or two sentences, it will be enough for her to drink a pot, and the good reputation will make us bad." ”

The old lady saw that her grandson understood what she meant, and deliberately said: "I'm saying, I'm your second brother's daughter-in-law, and I see that your aunt also likes it very much, not like your eldest lady, who can't be tolerated horizontally and vertically." ”

When he heard that he had shown his daughter-in-law to his second brother again, Zhu Rong felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but he remembered that he had just arrived at Xinghuatang and heard what his adoptive mother said to his father, so he became serious for a while, and said: "Mother has a knot, not for help, you find someone else from Kishu, she is also restless." ”

Returning to this matter, the old lady sighed lightly: "You have also seen the attitude of the Jizhou Palace, the princess did not explicitly say that she wanted to take Han'er back, but she never left her daughter-in-law. Everyone at home and outside the family knows that she has been writing letters for many years, and she must send gifts every festival, and today every sentence is reminding us that people have never left their daughter-in-law, but they only pity the child and allow her to return to her parents' relatives. ”

Zhu Rong said: "In your opinion, does the princess already know that the eldest sister is seriously ill." ”

The old lady said, "Sooner or later, you must know, you can't hide it." But when she was sent back, she was a good person, but now it has become like this, the princess is the widow of a loyal martyr, a brother and sister, or the eldest daughter of the old man, and the emperor will not care. Although Han'er is the daughter of my Zhu family, she can marry out, and she is also the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and she is a member of the palace. ”

Zhu Rong put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked his grandmother: "Have you thought about what I said last time?" ”

The old lady frowned: "Han'er's dementia can be said to be lovesick, is it possible that her family will harm her?" But if your sister really had an heir to the royal family, then your mother's sin would be great, and you don't blame her for being so flustered. ”

Zhu Rong pondered for a moment and said: "If there is such a thing, it can also be said that the eldest sister is careless, and the princess cannot forcibly say that it is our family's responsibility, so that the mother's sin can be reduced." “

The old lady smiled bitterly: "No matter whose sin it is, it is our family who has not protected the heirs of the palace, it is not just a child, it is the only incense in the palace." This matter is a big problem, the emperor can not care about anything if he does not pursue it, once he investigates, it is also the emperor who is tired of the Zhu family, and the family business of three hundred years is over. ”

Zhu Rong's expression was solemn, and his hands silently clenched his fists under the table.

The old lady changed her smile and said helplessly: "Your mother looked forward and backward, she made a wrong step five years ago, and she made a wrong step after that, she was the only one who was flesh and blood, and now she ended up like this, and she didn't wait for the Heavenly Mansion to investigate and punish her, she has been unable to live in peace for the rest of her life." But I don't want this family to suffer because of her alone, Rong'er, we must find a way to take care of this matter. ”

Zhu Rong shook his head: "Father often hangs the companion like a tiger on his lips, if the emperor can't get used to the Zhu family one day, anything can destroy everything, you are old, you may not see that day, but I'm afraid, after our family really decays and collapses, even if the eldest sister is taken back by the palace, can she still be treated kindly?" The matter has come to this point, and no matter whose sin it was at the beginning, just look at the future, even if the princess and the county lord pity it, I am afraid that the next person will not pity it, but at that time, the eldest sister has no longer even her mother's family. ”

The old lady said: "I see that Princess Min's temperament is a person who can discuss, and she may not want to harm our family. ”

As he spoke, he looked down and saw that the heat of the food gradually dissipated, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and eat, it's cold, you eat, I'll say a few words to Fuyi, otherwise Yunzhi should come back." ”

Zhu Rong asked, "What words do you want to avoid Yun'er?" ”

The old lady said: "It's just a few words of explanation and comfort, I hope she can see it for my sake, and have scruples about everything, your sister is here, frizzy, and can't say anything." ”

Zhu Rong picked up the dishes and chopsticks, thought about it and said, "Just those words, you can also say those words to Cousin Yan, she is a transparent person and can distinguish the importance of things." ”

The old lady finally smiled a little, and said deliberately: "If I don't bother to say, you will go for me?" ”

Zhu Rong couldn't help but think: "Forget it, I want to break up unhappily." ”

As soon as he said this, his heart tightened, and he looked at his grandmother sharply, and the old man smiled deeply, leaving his grandson to eat alone, and turned around and went to the back room.

Fuyi came tonight to have a good talk with her aunt and grandmother, to understand her own proportions in this family in the future, and the old lady told her what she said to her grandson, in addition to Hanzhi's possible pregnancy, she also told her, and she deeply understood that it was not easy for the big family to survive.

These noble mansions live under the eyes and palms of the emperor, and behind the glory of the scenery is the hesitation and restlessness of walking on thin ice every day.

The nouveau riche still doesn't know the mountains and the depths of the sea, and only cares about being high-spirited and heroic, but it is the nobles of the same age as the country who understand the difficulty of survival the most, and each generation of them does not want the family business to be destroyed in their own hands.

The old lady said frankly to Fuyi: "I always think that some of the old ways in this family can be broken, but I often ask myself, can I face the future displacement of my children and grandchildren, can I feel at ease to watch the family disperse, hundreds of people are dragged to buy and sell, and the children of the side line have no support, and my little granddaughters go to my in-laws' house to be bullied and even humiliated?" ”

Fu Yi listened tensibly and looked at the old man intently.

The old lady said, "I can't, child, you are an outsider, I should not have said these things to you, but it is really only outsiders who can say this." When I said it, my heart was happy, naturally I have always treated you as a granddaughter in my eyes, and I have never treated you as an outsider. ”

Fu Yi said: "Occasionally, I have tea and gossip with the second lady, and the second aunt seems to have nowhere to complain about her belly, and she always pulls me to talk for a long time. ”

The old lady bowed: "It's not easy in this house." ”

Fu Yi bowed and said: "In this way, I have transgressed, self-righteous and wrong, and it has also affected Yunzhi." Auntie, I was wrong. ”

The old lady took the hand of Fu Yi and said with a smile: "If you can influence Yunzhi, it is the real purpose of my invitation to come, we are like this, my heart is broken, but a few little girls are still young, I hope Yunzhi can set an example for my sisters, and you are my hope for Yunzhi." ”

"My aunt and grandmother are too exalted to me." "I just read a few more books." ”

The old lady's eyes were full of love: "I thought you had just read a few more books, but now I don't think so." ”

When the words fell, Yunzhi's movement sounded outside, and she was giggling with her third brother, and the old lady said happily: "Since you taught her how to get along with her mother, now the mother and daughter don't quarrel, and they don't cry every time they come back from Dongyuan, you see how good." ”

As he spoke, Yunzhi had already run in, and the boss said dissatisfiedly: "What are you whispering, leave me out." ”

The old lady said angrily: "There are no rules, I am listening to the complaint of Fuyi, saying that yours is not, and I don't listen to the lecture in the study, and I make my sister unhappy." You can be careful, if you don't study hard, I will beat you up first, and then throw you back to Dongyuan. ”

Yun Zhicai was not afraid, sat down beside his grandmother, stuck to his grandmother's body and coquettishly, squinted his eyes and looked at Fuyi, stretched out his finger and asked, "You dare to say bad things about me?" ”

The old lady opened her hand and smiled at Fuyi: "Go back, kid, let Mama Rui bring you an eight-treasure glass lamp to light it, be careful on the road." ”

Fu Yi bowed and thanked him, exited the inner room, passed the dining room, and just happened to leave after Zhu Rong finished eating.

Yunzhi followed to the door, and when he saw that his brother was going to ask him to leave, he said, "Help you to go slowly, go with my brother." ”

Fu Yi was stunned for a moment, worried that Yunzhi would say something "ridiculous", but the people just smiled: "There are a few more people, so that the road can be brighter, there is no moon tonight, and it is dark outside." ”

Sure enough, the eldest girl was simple-minded, and she was worried that she was confused first, so she couldn't be calm.

She said, "I'll go first, don't ask the people from Qingqiu Pavilion to wait for me and delay them to sleep." ”

Yunzhi didn't stop him, Fuyi took the glass lamp sent by Mama Rui, and left with the citron beads.

But not long after, I heard footsteps behind me, and Cuizhu said: "Girl, our third son has also come out, why is there no one around to serve and follow the road." She asked for help to wait, and then she carried a lantern to meet her and bring her all the way.

Fu Yi was holding a glass lamp in his hand, and his body was colorful and colorful, only to hear Zhu Rong smile and say: "This is not used to follow the road, it is weird and heavy, I will carry it for you?" ”

"No ......" couldn't help but excuse himself, Zhu Rong had already taken it with his own hands, and the fingertips of the two touched lightly, and at that moment, they both looked into each other's eyes.

Zhu Rong said gently: "Let's go, I'll send you back to Qingqiu Pavilion, this lamp looks good in the house." ”

Fuyi withdrew his gaze and walked beside the citron without saying a word.

The group soon arrived at Qingqiu Pavilion, Zhu Rong handed over the glass lamp to Cuizhu, and saw Cuizhu enter the door, only Citron was beside Fuyi, so he said: "In a few days, I will send someone to send something, it should have been given to you a long time ago." ”

Fu Yi raised her eyes, and she guessed it was the missing earring.

Zhu Rong said: "But if you ...... You're not in a hurry, I'll ...... for now."

Fu Yi didn't wait for him to finish, and responded: "Please keep it." With that, he took his leave and hurried away with the citron.
