Chapter 378: Aunt Zhao enters the palace
After the national ceremony, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but hold Wanying in her arms, crying in distress.
Wanying snuggled up in Aunt Zhao's arms and cried loudly without fear.
is not like a mother and daughter, but now it is better than a mother and daughter.
Aunt Zhao has no children in her life, and she has loved Wanying alone for fifteen years.
In June last year, Aunt Zhao had not yet recovered from the bad news of the violent corpse of Master Shi, and Wen Wanying also died in Huichang Mountain.
The two blows directly crushed her, and she was ill for several months, and she did not eat the medicine. The Zhao family thought that their aunt and grandmother were already in decline, but they didn't expect to hear the news of Wanying's return to the palace, which made Aunt Zhao come back to life.
In less than a month, all the diseases were eliminated, and he was able to get out of bed and walk, which was like a cure.
Aunt Zhao supported her weak body, came to the Ask Immortal Palace, and when she saw Wanying, she was already very exhausted.
"Auntie, after a year, how did your body deteriorate to this extent?" Wanying saw that Aunt Zhao's forehead was sweating continuously, and her body was trembling, and asked distressedly.
Aunt Zhao looked at Wanying lovingly, her withered yellow hand kept rubbing Wanying's hand and face, and said lightly: "It's not like this when people are old, my aunt is old." ”
"No, auntie, you are only in your early forties this year, and it is when you are strong and strong, not to mention that you are the best at maintenance among several aunts."
Wanying didn't want to say any more, she experienced the catastrophe of life and death, the dead were buried in the loess, and the living were the same as the dead.
"Back to the mother's words, my aunt since the catastrophe last year, a sick can't afford to be sick, lingering on the sick bed for nearly half a year, seeing that she is dying of old age, there is no medicine to treat, I didn't expect to hear the news of the mother's return to the palace in the first month, less than a month, my aunt was cured."
Wanying looked at the man in front of her who was talking, his face was handsome, and he spoke decently; Needless to guess, I also know that he is Aunt Zhao's nephew.
Aunt Zhao was overjoyed for a while, forgot to introduce, and when she saw her nephew speak, she hurriedly explained to Wanying: "Niangniang, this is the child of the Zhao family, I am afraid that I will not have the strength to go to the palace, so I will carry me from the gate of the palace to the Ask Immortal Palace." ”
I see, so filial to Aunt Zhao, Wanying is very happy in her heart.
"Put your things down and go outside and wait for your aunt." Aunt Zhao said to her nephew.
Zhao Gongzi put the burden on his back on the coffee table, turned around and exited the main hall.
Yun Niang saw that Aunt Zhao was going to talk to Wanying, and left with the palace maids who were waiting.
Everyone left, Aunt Zhao untied her baggage, presented the two boxes in front of Wanying, and said: "There are two stones inside, which is a meeting gift from my aunt to the two children, I don't dare to make decisions without permission, so Niang Niang will make decisions for me!" ”
Wanying only glanced at it, and just looking at the fineness of the stone was a priceless purple jade rough. said again and again: "Auntie, we don't need these false gifts, my aunt is now at her mother's house, and she still gives such a valuable gift to Wanying, how can Wanying accept it?" ”
Aunt Zhao kindly pulled Wanying and said, "Child, you can understand your aunt's situation, and your aunt is happy in her heart!" You also know that my aunt's dowry is all gone, this is a little bit of my aunt's family, and I hope my aunt will not dislike it. ”
Wan Ying said sadly: "Auntie, these two purple jade are afraid that they are the treasures of the Zhao family's town house for many years, not that Wan Ying dislikes them, Wan Ying does not dare to accept them, they are too precious." ”
"Child, take it, if you don't accept it, your aunt's face will not be bright, right?"
Wanying was helpless, so she could only nod and accept it.
"Since my aunt has said everything about this, it is better to be respectful than to obey her fate."
Aunt Zhao took a long sigh of relief, then took out a brocade box from her baggage and handed it to Wanying. asked: "Open it and see, do you know it?" ”
Wanying took the box, buckled the turnbuckle, opened the lid, and was dumbfounded.
"This is my mother's golden hairpin?"
Aunt Zhao nodded tiredly and said, "This golden hairpin belongs to your mother, and I saw your mother wearing it on her head on the day of the raid." ”
Wanying was stunned and stunned, her eyes kept wandering between Jin Hai and Aunt Zhao's eyes.
The emperor's elder brother He You'an and Cui Ying'er have been looking for so long without any clues. Aunt Zhao was an eyewitness to the catastrophe and must have known some clues.
Aunt Zhao must know something, otherwise she wouldn't have dragged her weak body to find her.
"Auntie, how can my mother's golden hairpin be in your hands?"
Aunt Zhao was already a little breathless, endured her physical exhaustion, and said tremblingly: "Do you remember that ruby ring?" ”
"Of course I remember, didn't the big disasters in the family all come from that ring?"
"Hmmm! This Jin Hai is also sold to the Bai family's Jumbo Xuan by others, the shopkeeper of Jumbo Xuan, and the housekeeper of my mother's family are distant relatives, so I tossed a few people, and finally came to my hands! ”
"Auntie, can you drink a cup of tea, take a break, and slowly explain it to Wanying?"
Aunt Zhao nodded weakly, took the teacup and drank it all, and then said slowly: "Auntie came today to explain this matter to you clearly. ”
"Auntie, you say, Wanying listen!"
"Others say that your mother ran away, but my aunt thinks that your mother may have been killed."
Wanying didn't have this worst guess in her heart, she didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to think about it. So I always harden my heart and avoid it. was told by Aunt Zhao like this, and Wan Ying burst into tears, and the spring was endless.
"Auntie, you make it clear, how did this golden hairpin get into your hands?"
"Okay, my aunt told you, you have to keep it in mind." Wanying was anxious to find out Aunt Lin's whereabouts at this time, but she didn't think about the deep meaning of Aunt Zhao's words.
"Auntie, you say, Wanying listen!"
"This is a Bing Yong surnamed Qian, who was sold in Zhenbao Xuan, and it just so happened that this Jin Hai was sold to our family by Mrs. Bai of Zhenbao Xuan, and the buyer happened to be your mother, so the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Xuan bought it with his own money, and then stared at this Bing Yong surnamed Qian."
Wan Ying saw that Aunt Zhao's breath was weak, and asked softly, "Who is this surnamed Qian?" How does he have my mother's golden hairpin? ”
"This surname Qian is a nominal soldier of the Criminal Department, in fact, he is a ruffian hooligan in the capital, and sometimes when the Criminal Department is too busy, they will go to help, and by the way, they will get some oil and water. That's it! As for how this golden hairpin got into his hands, his aunt has not been startled, and she has not caught him yet. Our family was a criminal in the court at that time, and his house was raided, even if his aunt caught him and asked him, he would not tell the truth, so he kept him and observed secretly. ”
"And then? Is he alive? ”
Aunt Zhao nodded and said, "Alive, he still doesn't know that I secretly raised him." ”
"Auntie, what's going on?"
"It's a long story, in short, I am not 100% sure, and my aunt doesn't dare to do it. Another point is a little selfishness of the aunt, the Zhao family is just a businessman, without power and power, and the aunt doesn't want to drag them down, so she didn't start for a long time. ”
"Auntie, you don't have to blame yourself, our family has fallen to this point, Zhao Jiaken came to the rescue, it is already a friend in distress, Wanying will be grateful to them in the future."
"Child, what my aunt wants to tell you is that this person surnamed Qian is now placed by me to work in a dyeing workshop in Zhao Zaizhili. He seems to have fled the capital by himself, as for why he fled the capital, I don't know, the people who followed him, after arriving in Zhili, I asked the shopkeeper of the dyeing workshop to find him on the street and take him in. Now it's still in the dyeing room in Zhili. You send someone quickly to find him, and maybe your mother's whereabouts will be found. ”
"I'll send someone to find it, I'll send someone!"
"Child, my aunt is reluctant to do it not only because my aunt can't fight these people, but also because my aunt thinks that your mother may be gone."
"Auntie, thank you for showing me the way, thank you for doing these things for my mother."
"Child, my aunt has no ability, she can only do these useless things, when my aunt does these things, I firmly believe that you are still alive, and you will definitely take revenge, so my aunt gritted her teeth and waited for you!"
"Auntie, thank you, thank you. Thank you for all this for our mother and daughter! ”
"Child, don't say thank you, my aunt didn't do anything. My aunt is just a useless woman, and that's all she can do. Of course, it is the best thing to find your mother alive, and if it is really as I guessed, it will be fate. Master, Aunt Lin, Mrs. The three of them have been reunited, and I miss my lord and miss them too. ”
"Auntie, Daddy's ashes, I have already placed them in the ancestral grave, the Queen Mother said that when the time is ripe, she will give our master an explanation, and I will add Daddy as the King of Jing'an?"
Aunt Zhao swept away her tiredness, her eyes flashed, and she asked incredulously: "The imperial court wants to posthumously crown the lord as the king of Jing'an?" The lord didn't even have a marquis when he was alive? ”
Wanying nodded decisively and said: "Before Emperor Wuzhao's big trip, he once crowned his father as the king of Jing'an, and at that time, the queen mother hid this edict for the sake of the overall situation of the imperial court. ”
Aunt Zhao relieved the doubts on her face, and said to Wanying with a respectful expression: "Your father is really wronged in his life, everyone laughs at him and tramples on him, and now he can stand up straight." ”
"Daddy would be alive!"
"There is no resurrection from death. Your father has never missed a bad thing in his life, and God will definitely treat him well. ”
"Auntie, Wanying has no father and mother now, only you are left, you must take care of your body, Wanying will beg the emperor to crown her aunt and wife after a while."
Aunt Zhao smiled tiredly, her thin hand, greedily rubbed Wanying's face, and said with infinite love: "Child, my aunt has no children in her life, and she doesn't care, as long as the master can be good, Wanying can be good, and the aunt is fine." Got it? ”
"Auntie, Wanying understands, Wanying understands!"
"Child, I've been out for so long, my aunt is a little tired, it's time to go back, let my aunt hug you again, okay?"
Wanying knelt in front of Aunt Zhao, lying on top of her, burying her face in Aunt Zhao's clothes. Aunt Zhao really only has skin and bones left, through the thick brocade clothes and graceful face, she clearly feels that there are only bones left in her legs.
"Auntie, you wait a little longer, Wanying will bring the children over and let you see!"
