Came to Mingchaxiang, went up to the second floor, and entered a private room, Le Mulan saw a person sitting inside, first alert, and then looked, a middle-aged man, with a square face, with a righteous face, saw people come in, and stood up.

The woman introduced, "This is my husband, the head of the Zhuang Academy. ”

Le Mulan saluted and said hello, and the woman beckoned her to sit down.

Zhuang Zhengtai said that this time he must bring his cousin's bones home, correct his cousin's name, and give his niece a background, saying that the children and grandchildren of the eldest aunt and uncle cannot be illegitimate children.

Father said how much to save face for the Fan family, no need to tear the face, don't look at your uncle's family, you have to look at the face of the Fan family for hundreds of years, not afraid, it is not easy for a family to stand up, it is too easy to collapse.

Zhuang Zhengtai understands what his father meant, the Zhuang family has used the accumulation of several generations, and now it is not said that it is squeezed into the court as an official, that is because the Zhuang family ancestral training, there is no abnormal talent of the Zhuang family's children, will not let the children and grandchildren enter politics, because the Zhuang family is kind and soft, and they can't adapt to the kind of officialdom when they go out, and even affect the family, it is better to be a squire, cultivate students, accumulate blessings and goodness, and accumulate the demeanor of the banker.

took the marriage book, found the manuscript of his former cousin, and rushed to the capital with his wife.

When she arrived, she asked his wife to go to Meng's house to ask the adopted daughter of the Meng family to come out, and Zhuang Zhengtai also said that if she didn't go out, he would show her cousin's manuscript.

Seeing them come in, Zhuang Zhengtai stood up, saw Le Niangzi, and when he saw him for the second time, he still couldn't help but have sparkling eyes.

They all sat down, and Zhuang Zhengtai said: "I have a cousin whose surname is Jiao and Mulan. ”

Le Mulan was stunned.

"My cousin just got married, her grandmother died, that is, my grandmother, and when she was busy with the funeral, my cousin left home and only brought this collection of Yuefu poems."

Zhuang Zhengtai put a manuscript on the table and pushed it over, "This is the manuscript that my cousin usually writes. ”

Le Mulan opened, her hands trembling.

Juanxiu's font is the same as the font on the poetry book, and a Tang poem is written on it.

The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is open to both sides of the face. I can't see it when I enter the pool, and I feel that someone is coming when I hear the song.

The laughter of the little lady, the mother also had such a beautiful time back then!

Le Mulan thought about her background, a woman is alone outside, and she has to give birth, it is difficult for normal people to have this situation.

A Fengyue woman who is not a lady and is deceived by others? Or is it the outer room that was kicked out by the eldest woman?

She hopes to find a wife who is rushing to her husband's exams.

No one wants to have an embarrassing background.

When she saw the poetry collection given to her by the master, she knew that her mother was newly married, and this marriage might be a tragedy.

She felt sorry for her mother.

This will know that the mother is the Zhuang family.

Le Mulan raised her head and said, "I was born in December. ”

Mrs. Zhuang hugged her and cried, "Niece, I am my aunt, your mother is going to talk to me, saying that she goes out for a walk, there is no need to look for her, I thought she was sad that her grandmother passed away, just walk around, who knows ......, my aunt regrets all her life, I can't see her, niece, your uncle cries on your mother's birthday every year, your cousin has been looking for your mother for more than ten years, I can't think of ......, my poor niece." ”

The mother and daughter have one name, and they can't call her Mulan.

Zhuang Zhengtai sniffled, and the old tears were rampant.

Le Mulan's tears slowly flowed.

"Who is my father?"

Mrs. Zhuang let go of the arm she was holding, looked at her husband, and said hatefully: "It's Fan Kang, the third member of the Fan family in Beijing." ”

Le Mulan was stunned, no wonder there was a woman in Qingwangfu who saw her look different, she paid attention, knowing that the woman was the daughter of the Chen family in the Qinghe County Palace, and her husband was the Fan family.

She paid attention to inquiring, the daughter of the Chen family is a wife, and her husband is in his early thirties, saying that they are husband and wife, what kind of family is the Fan family, and she also knows that there can be no chaos.

By the way, there was a funeral in the Fan family a while ago, and Mrs. Fan's maiden family is the dealer of Hejian Mansion, so Fan Kang and his mother are cousins?

Fan Kang stopped his wife and remarried? No, no, my cousin said that his mother got married, so what did Fan Kang do? Why is the daughter of the Chen family a wife?

"The Fan family has a wife, what is my mother?"

Zhuang Zhengtai looked at Le Mulan opposite, her voice trembled, there was a trace of anger in her eyes, but then she was calm, bottomless, and tears welled up.

Mrs. Zhuang cried out and bit her lip.

Zhuang Zhengtai forcibly pressed his trembling hand, and when Mrs. Zhuang saw it, she hurriedly took his hand and rubbed it vigorously.

Le Mulan reached out to take away her aunt's hand, took out the silver needle she had with her, and pierced it on several acupuncture points.

After a while, Zhuang Zhengtai's hand stabilized.

"Your cousin can't be excited and angry, his hands tremble when he is excited."

Le Mulan pulled out the silver needle and said, "It will be fine in a year." ”

That is if she treats, it will be fine in a year, Mrs. Zhuang was pleasantly surprised, her husband has been sick for many years, and he can't write when he gets sick.

Zhuang Zhengtai took a deep breath and said, "This is not in a hurry, let me talk about the past." ”

Mrs. Zhuang handed him water and took out a pill, which he took and took a breath.

"That year, my grandmother was sick, and the second aunt who married into the Fan family brought her cousin Fan Kang back, and your grandmother was my eldest aunt. Your aunt and uncle died unexpectedly when your mother was five years old, so your mother grew up in the village's family, and your grandfather had no family. ”

Le Mulan nodded slowly, this is why her mother grew up in the Zhuang family, and the Zhuang family and her mother have a deep relationship, but her grandfather Jiao's family did not move, and the Jiao family was empty.

"The second aunt came back a year ago, and after the New Year, my grandmother slowly got better, and asked my aunt, let your mother and Fan Kang get married, your mother is one year older than Fan Kang. Grandmother said she wanted to watch them worship. Although we knew that this was too hasty, my aunt said that maybe Chongxi could make my grandmother better. Indeed, the grandmother was happy and in good spirits. In March, I got married, my aunt took Fan Kang back to Beijing, and my cousin stayed behind to serve my grandmother, and my aunt said that she would pick up my cousin within half a year. A month later, my aunt sent Yin Liang back, and there was a marriage letter, saying that after going back, my uncle had already given Fan Kang a family affair, and he was the lady of the Qinghe County Palace. In the letter, my aunt said that she couldn't live with her cousin and found someone else for her cousin. The letter was for my father, I was angry, and I wanted to go to Beijing to ask, my cousin had already visited the church, not a verbal marriage contract, and my grandmother somehow knew, and it was gone in a fit of anger. After the funeral, I wrote to my aunt and asked her not to come back. At that time, the house was in a mess, and your mother left a letter saying that she didn't need to look for her and left. I thought I went to Beijing, went to Beijing to inquire, Fan Kang and the daughter of the Chen family were newly married, I can't wait to go to Fan's house, your uncle said to find your mother. This search has been more than ten years. ”

"Why did my mother go to Cangzhou?"

"Your mother used to have a grandmother who was from Cangzhou, and then the family returned to Cangzhou, I have been to Cangzhou, and my grandmother is no longer alive."

Mrs. Zhuang said: "Don't blame your cousin for not going to the Fan family to seek justice for your mother, at first I wanted to find your mother, but your cousin was looking for your mother to fall outside and get injured, and it was not cured at that time, and it began to get sick when I was old." I went to look for it every year, and asked some informants for money, but it was not good to make a big fuss, and the woman's reputation was important, and then I thought it was ......"

Le Mulan understood, and later thought that she was fierce and auspicious, and thought that her mother was not alive.

"When you calm down, you know that Fan Kang's remarriage is the master of your aunt, if the Fan family knows about your mother's affairs, they can only withdraw from the county prince's mansion, and the uncle of the Fan family doesn't know at all, he is a student of the Zhuang family, and sometimes he writes to your uncle, and he never mentions your mother's affairs. That is, Fan Kang and the daughter of the Chen family have a personal relationship, and my aunt has no choice but to withdraw from your mother's side. After that, the dealer did not contact his aunt again. What your uncle said wrong is our banker's daughter, the banker's grandson Fan Kang. Find your mother, we will admit it, and then find a good family for your mother, who knows that it has not been found. The second aunt had a hard time in the second half of her life, so gone, your uncle asked your cousin to put incense on your aunt, and she will not get along with the Fan family in the future. Who knew that your cousin came to Beijing, found you, felt like your mother, inquired, if it was born to your mother, the age is also right, and hurried back to Hejian Mansion, took the marriage book and manuscript, your uncle is still looking forward to it at home, hoping that your mother can leave blood and bones, saying to take you home, your uncle is not in good health, he can't walk, otherwise he will come to Beijing to see you in person. Mrs. Zhuang was afraid that Le Mulan would misunderstand the dealer and explain the reason clearly.

Le Mulan understands that the Zhuang family was originally a generous person, but her mother was not found, and Fan Kang's mother was the Zhuang family, so she went to the door, and the Zhuang family asked Mrs. Zhuang for an explanation?

Even if you are in charge of your mother, you will win people.

Looking at the tired cousin, back and forth twice, the elderly person rushed away, it was the flesh and blood affection for her mother, Le Mulan held her cousin who had been holding her hand, and her heart ached.

For my mother, for the Zhuang family for many years, I didn't give up searching, and I went back and forth for my cousin and aunt at such an age.

Le Mulan stood up, walked to the middle of the room, knelt down and kowtowed, and solemnly called her cousin and aunt.

Mrs. Zhuang pulled her up, hugged her into her arms, and choked up.
