The eldest lady had already dealt with it, and calmly replied: "Han Zhi is frail, and he has been recuperating in Zhuangtou outside Beijing for many years, so he must not come to you at this moment to greet you and salute, and please ask the princess to be considerate." ”

The old lady also generously invited: "Niangniang, please come into the house and sit down." ”

Princess Min had a noble temperament and said with a smile: "You also please." ”

The reunion of the two parents' families was separated by more than seven years, but when the old lady was still young, the two houses often went back and forth.

At that time, the old minister was still serving in the six ministries, ranking in the third grade, and a pair of daughters were married into the royal family.

Although the Min family has been in the office for three generations, it can be regarded as an official eunuch of the family, but the previous generations are only five or six small Beijing officials, and they are not considered high-ranking mansions.

Now, the old prime minister has presided over the government for more than ten years, and there are more concubines and princesses under his knees, and the eldest grandson Min Yanshi can be a Chinese official for two decades.

Hanzhi, the eldest lady of the Zhu family, and the prince of the Kishu Palace, although the current emperor gave the marriage, but the heavenly family also saw the friendship between the two families of Zhu Min for generations, so they promoted this marriage.

Seven years ago, the scene of the eldest lady's beautiful marriage seemed to be yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, who would have thought that the Kishu Mansion had been "down" for five years.

But the word down-and-out should not be used in the bodies of Princess Min and the county lord, the mother and daughter are noble, walking in the huge mansion of the Zhu family, pressing all the family members under the light, and they can't see that they have suffered the pain of losing their husbands and children and separating their fathers and brothers in the past five years.

It is true that Zhu Rong, who accompanied him, remembered what Fu Yi had said, and the people of Jizhou did not see the corpses of the prince's father and son, and still believed that they were still in the world.

The ladies were talking in the main hall of the hall, Zhu Rong and Kaijiang and others were not allowed to enter, and the princess even passed the word out, not wanting to alarm a few masters, so he sent someone to his father, uncle and brother to tell them that they did not have to rush back to pick up the car.

However, not long after, the young lady was the leader, with Yunzhi's younger sisters, surrounded by the county lord's money, Zhu Rong and several people bowed down to each other, only to hear the eldest sister-in-law say: "We invite the county lord to walk in the garden." ”

She was followed by Wang's mother, obviously on the order of the eldest lady, and said to Zhu Rong: "The garden is overgrown with grass and trees, and there is a pond and a well, the old lady ordered the son to follow from afar, protecting the county lord, don't let the county lord stumble." ”

The adoptive mother's intentions, Zhu Rong naturally understood, could not ask the county lord to get close to the eldest sister's claustrophobic place, naturally if he just walked around casually, admired the flowers and scenery, and categorically could not go to such a far-reaching place, but the eldest lady was nervous in her heart, and she had to take precautions first.

The group went to the garden, walking, getting closer and closer to the Qingqiu Pavilion, Zhu Rong followed not far away, and could see the eyebrows of the rhyme dancing and didn't know what to say, the sister-in-law had a weak temperament and couldn't be the master, so she was naturally led by the blindness of the rhyme.

Obviously, Yunzhi wanted to introduce support to the county lord, but unfortunately when they arrived outside the gate of Qingqiu Pavilion, the housekeeper and Cuizhu knelt down at the bottom of the steps and said, "Miss Yan went out with the citron." ”

Yun Zhi was in a hurry, and broke in regardless of it, turned around and didn't see the two people, and then ran out, and saw Zhu Rong from afar, and the third brother was shaking his head at her.

At this side, the county lord didn't care, and said with a smile: "I want to meet my cousin's children, and I still have a meeting gift here." ”

The young lady said: "They are all little dolls of a few years old, very vulgar and stubborn, it is the time when they love to make noise, and they are afraid of arguing with you." ”

The county lord said affectionately: "My own child, the pain can't hurt anymore." ”

The young lady said to the rhyme: "Since Miss Yan is not here, it's not too late to see you next time, let's go." ”

At this moment, in the main hall of the lobby, the Yang family was full of anxiety, and when the county master went to the garden and asked the girls to accompany her, she suddenly remembered that she had turned off her words and helped, and Zhu Yunzhi, the troublemaker.

I'm afraid that as soon as she goes out, the wild girl will say everything, even the young lady is not her daughter-in-law, she is in this family, after all, she has suffered a big loss from the thin heirs.

Princess Min asked Han Zhi from time to time how she had been doing in the past few years, saying that she had not been able to receive her handwritten reply for three or four years, and the ghostwritten letters all said that she was fine, and that the child could not even mention the pen, which must be bad.

Although the Yang family has coping, it is inevitable that the heart is weak, but fortunately, the old lady is still deaf and clear-sighted, and people who have experienced ups and downs are used to seeing the world, and they can withstand this embarrassing scene in a few words.

The second lady and the third lady were by the side, even though they were full of the jokes of the old family, but how noble the princess was, they did not dare to make a mistake easily, and once they lost their dignity, they were afraid that they would harm their husbands and sons.

In just one hour, like thousands of years, the Yang family couldn't wait to turn the Western clock in her husband's study seven or eight times, and finally waited until the young lady returned with the county lord, and Princess Min said: "I'm bothering today, I'll visit another day." ”

Yang bowed down and said: "Don't dare to bother Niangniang, it should be us to visit the palace, and it is a courtesy." ”

Princess Min smiled: "It's okay, it's just that the palace in Beijing has not been occupied for many years, and it has to be taken care of, I will send someone to invite it in a few days." ”

I only heard the county lord say on the side: "Madam, please bring my sister-in-law with you when the time comes." ”

The eldest lady pretended to be calm: "This is nature. ”

The atmosphere in the hall was awkward, only the princess mother and daughter were calm and elegant, and a group of people surrounded each other, sending them to the door.

It wasn't until the carriage and horses disappeared that everyone helped the old lady to go back, only to hear the third lady follow behind and sigh: "Why is the princess still exactly the same as seven years ago, and she is still in her forties, looking younger than me." ”

The second lady also said: "It's really not easy, it doesn't look like a person who has experienced changes at all." ”

The old lady was silent, and the Yang family followed aside, her heart was in turmoil, but she heard the most noisy person in the house, and she exclaimed: "Second girl, where did you just take the county lord to go?" ”

Yunzhi was suddenly called, first stunned, and then responded: "Just walk around and pick a place where the flowers bloom well." ”

Jin's eyebrows flickered, and he said in a puffed tone: "Didn't you bump into a ghost in the garden a few days ago, I was nervous just now, I'm afraid that you will lead the county lord and bump into something unclean." ”

The old lady suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at her little daughter-in-law majestically: "There are only flower gods living in the garden, how can there be ghosts, you don't always be careful with your tongue, you are careful to be crooked by the wind." ”

Jin knew that he had never been loved by his mother-in-law, and when he was blamed in public at this time, he was even more unconvinced, and laughed crookedly: "Your old eyes are clean, and you are naturally accompanied by gods and Buddhas, but I am afraid that some people are not worthy of rotten hearts." ”

The fifth girl was more sensible, stepped forward and pulled her mother and persuaded her to say a few words.

Jin held his daughter and smiled at everyone: "I don't dare to ask Hui'er to go to the depths of the garden, I am just this girl, and I can't love it, unlike some people." ”

The old lady said angrily: "Could it be that you are talking about me? ”

Jin sneered: "How come, your daughter is a princess in the south, fortunately, she is a princess when she marries early, and she has no ...... to be a princess in the last world first."

The five girls stopped their mother alive, said goodbye to their grandmother and aunts, and hurried away with her noisy mother.

The second lady glanced at Yunzhi, and Yunzhi had to say: "Mother, sister-in-law, let's go back too, the two little things are gone, you should cry again." ”

In this way, the West Garden and the East Garden were all dispersed, and the Yang family followed the old lady back to the inner courtyard and retreated, and then she sat heavily on the pear blossom wooden chair, panting heavily on her chest.

The old lady drank tea, but she was calm: "What are you panicking about, it is to let Princess Min know about Han'er's dementia, and it is also the child's lovesickness, no wonder you." There has never been only the mother's family looking for the mother-in-law's family, and there is no reason for the mother-in-law's family to come to the mother's house to ask the guilt. ”

Yang came back to his senses and looked at his mother-in-law with a cold gaze: "Mother, can you send the daughter of the Yan family, since she came to the house, the matter of Hanzhi must not stop." ”

The old lady looked as if she didn't know anything, and deliberately asked, "Did the kid do anything?" ”

Yang shook his head, but said in disgust: "But she came, and she bumped into Han'er again and again, and I don't know what she said to Han'er, so that Han'er remembered Jizhou again, and made a fuss about returning to Jizhou every day." ”

The old lady said, "Then you will send Han'er back to ......"

"No way!" Without waiting for her mother-in-law to finish speaking, the eldest lady stood up and faced her mother-in-law sternly, "Old lady, I am also for the good of this family, for the good of Han'er, don't I cherish my own flesh and blood?" ”

The old lady let out a long sigh: "That's it, since I agreed to you at the beginning, I shouldn't blame you now, I will naturally help you for this family." But I also remind you that since Princess Min has come to the capital, if you can't give a complete explanation, she won't easily let her daughter-in-law's whereabouts be unknown. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, and Mama Rui came from outside, and she didn't hide it in front of the eldest lady, and said: "Old lady, the third girl is waiting outside, and I want to tell you that Miss Yan is gone, and she doesn't know where to look." ”

Yang looked embarrassed, clenched his fists and said, "Mother, the daughter of the Yan family...... Told me to be locked up. ”

The old lady was furious: "You, what are you doing? ”

The eldest lady's eyes were scarlet: "Could it be that she is talking nonsense in front of the mother and daughter?" ”

The old lady put the tea bowl on the table: "You simply locked up the whole family, are you the duchess should behave?" ”

Yang was filled with grief and indignation: "If you don't find this troubled girl from Kizhou, I won't be able to, whose child do you choose, you have to find it from Kizhou?" Do you want to answer me? Am I selfish, not for the sake of the family? ”

The old lady sneered: "Dare to love Jizhou disappeared from the land of Daqi, otherwise you wouldn't be in peace for the rest of your life." ”

Yang said: "If you say this, your daughter-in-law can't afford it." ”

The old lady turned her face: "Then quickly release the person and send it to me, I have something to tell her." You should also know that this child's conduct and ability are a hundred times and a thousand times stronger than your girls. ”
