、、、、、、、、、、 Mrs. Du carefully puts on her night makeup in front of the mirror, which is a habit she has formed over the years, waking up in the morning and applying night makeup at night. Anytime and anywhere, he demands that he appear in front of people in the most perfect manner, including his husband and children. As long as she doesn't wear makeup for a moment, she will feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable as if she is not wearing clothes, and she will not be able to meet people. As she gets older, she cares more and more about it, and she wants the best in everything, and the most afraid thing is to see fine lines at the corners of her eyes and spots on her skin.

The special red and pink fragrance of the palace pounced on her body layer after layer, and the blue light gauze nightgown was draped on, making her more and more plump and jade, like a peach ripe to drip. The peach blossom and pearl powder covered the fine lines and shadows at the corners of the eyes a lot, and the nail decoction lip in the green hollow ivory tube made the lips that were already a little pale and shriveled plump and shiny again. A graceful and luxurious beauty appeared in the mirror, she was very satisfied, but she felt that her face was a little paler, and she had to have a little rouge complexion, so she motioned to Bai Xiang to take the jade box containing rouge over.

Rosin Xiang was shocked and stunned from outside: "The slave maid asks for peace to the grandfather of the country." Bai Xiang's hand paused, looked sideways out, and saw Jiang Chong's tall figure refracted on the screen, covering half of the screen, so he whispered: "Madam, Grandpa Guo is here." "It is surprising that Grandpa Guo has not come to Madame's room in the middle of the night for a long time, except for a fixed day.

Mrs. Du didn't move, didn't look back, snatched the rouge box from Bai Xiang's hand, and carefully rubbed the rouge in the mirror. Jiang Zhong bypassed the screen, got inside, and saw Mrs. Du putting on night makeup without looking back, knowing that her habits were not delicate and flawless, and she would definitely not look back. Then he sat down on the side and looked at Mrs. Du quietly.

Mrs. Du rubbed the rouge, looked at it carefully, and carefully added the snail from Persia at the corner of her eyebrows, and then ordered Bai Xiang to put away the makeup box mirror, got up and got off the bed by herself, took the tea soup offered by Rosin, handed it to Jiang Chong, and said with a smile: "Why did you come here at this time?" ”

Jiang Zhong pushed the teacup away: "If you don't drink it, you can't sleep at night." ”

Can't sleep at night? Scold...... Who's to blame? What do you think? Mrs. Du smiled faintly, handed the teacup to Rosin Xiang, sat down beside Jiang Chong, and measured Jiang Chong's expression without a trace. Jiang Chong's eyes were gloomy, his lips were pursed very tightly, his hands were slightly clenched into fists, placed above his knees, and he didn't move, Mrs. Du knew from experience that he was angry.

What are you angry about? What is there to be angry about? What are you running to your room now? It's not going to come to her to complain at night. Mrs. Du stroked her sideburns as if inadvertently, sighed tiredly, and said, "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you." At noon, Da Lang and He came to see their mother, and their mother lost her temper and refused to see them, so I couldn't help it, so I had to ask Yunqing to ask them to sit in the next place and talk about it, but Yunqing came back and said that they probably had other things to do and didn't stay. I wanted to tell you as soon as you came back, but I forgot. ”

She rubbed her and complained in a low voice: "I don't know what's wrong recently, I always forget things, and I forgot to send monthly money before." Mother's temper became more and more weird, and today for the matter of opening the window, she scolded Yunqing so much that she cried, and she couldn't persuade her. She is always sick, and her temper is getting more and more irritable, so she needs to change to a doctor? ”

Jiang Zhong looked at Mrs. Du in silence, she was passing on a message, she was very busy and exhausted, and it was understandable that she forgot some things. Moreover, the old lady is strong, with a strange and stubborn temper, and she can't disobey the old lady. The reason why Jiang Changyang didn't wait had nothing to do with her, it was Jiang Yunqing's words, how their brother and sister were delivered, she didn't know anything, she had done her best. In short, she is not at fault, it is all the fault of others. How could she do it so naturally, so cleanly, that she couldn't find a trace?

Seeing that Jiang Chong didn't say a word, Mrs. Du just looked at her quietly, feeling a little worried in her heart, smiled unnaturally, and reached out to touch her face: "Didn't you get it right?" Then he called Bai Xiang: "Take a mirror and I'll see." ”

Jiang Zhong said lightly: "No need, it's good, delicate and flawless." But he didn't look away, he still looked at her.

This is not because she is beautiful, because she misses her, because she longs for her, or because she pities her, Mrs. Du was silent for a moment and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang Chong seemed to be stating something that had nothing to do with him or her: "Today I went to ask for leave and heard about something. Yun Xiao is making a fuss, and wants to impeach Da Lang for disobedience and unfilial piety, and make his grandmother so angry that he is bedridden, which is one of the ten evils, and people who have a loss of virtue are not worthy of being officials. I don't know what kind of psychology he had, he subconsciously put Jiang Changyi aside.

Mrs. Du let out an "ah" and said in surprise: "How can there be such a thing?" How did he find out? Although Da Lang's temper offends a lot of people, he can't help but know about our affairs, right? Without waiting for Jiang Zhong to answer, she said hurriedly: "This person is a white-eyed wolf!" My father treated him like that, but then he was so ruthless and unjust! He is the kind of person who will do anything to get on the throne, we must help Da Lang! Not only for him, but also for our family. If my mother refuses to listen to me, go and persuade my mother, as long as she comes out to speak, there will be no trouble! "Of course, the old lady's fake illness is about to come true, and she can't think of getting up again.

Jiang Chong felt so strange to himself. He should be angry, but he wanted to laugh. How wise his wife was, and how eloquent she was. First, she found out the strangeness of this matter, outsiders should not know, and if she knew, it must be for a reason; secondly, she hinted that Jiang Changyang had many enemies, and many people were waiting to see him unlucky, which indirectly answered the previous question; Again, without him mentioning it, she first innocently said that Yun Xiao was a white-eyed wolf, and she treated her father, a benefactor, ruthless and unjust, so she chose to clear her and the Du family's suspicions; In the end, she put forward an effective solution, showing enthusiasm and bigness, and at the same time, it also showed that the old lady drove Jiang Changyang away and got sick, it was all the old lady's business, and she, the daughter-in-law, could not be the mother-in-law. She did her best.

Mrs. Du didn't hear back from Jiang Chong, not even a look and a word of affirmation. He just looked at her like a stranger and didn't say a word. She slowly calmed down from her apprehension, and also raised her eyes to look at Jiang Chong, without dodging. What is she afraid of? It was he who was sorry for her, he was sorry for her and their son, and everything she did was just to protect herself and her son, and this was what she wanted; Again, what if he knew? Does he have any proof? He has nothing. He is a soft ear, and when the east wind blows, he goes to the east, and the west wind blows, and he goes west, and when he presses down on the top, he burrows into the ground.

After a long time, Jiang Chong gently spit out a sentence: "You have changed." "There is no need for any circumstantial explanation and evidence, and she is directly condemned. Or maybe it's a temptation. It should be said that it is more of a temptation, after all, twenty years, twenty years of perception, is not casual. Even though he had already had a lot of opinions about her after the festival and began to doubt her, he didn't see how he was. It's just that he was angry and angry at that time, but he didn't see him angry tonight, and there was a difference.

Has she changed? Mrs. Du wanted to laugh, but she felt like crying, she raised her hand, put it in front of Jiang Chong, and said in a low voice: "Of course I have changed." From a young girl in the prime of cardamom, she has become an aging old woman. Look at my hands, when I first married you, you praised them as the most beautiful hands in the world, with well-proportioned flesh and bones, crystal clear, weak and boneless, and as beautiful as an orchid. But now? No matter how you take care of it, it is always getting older, no longer as delicate and smooth as before, and it will also turn yellow and thick! ”

She pulled the crystal hairpin off her head suddenly, her black hair slanted down and hung down on her shoulders, she stretched out the top of her head a little frantically, and said to Jiang Chong: "Have you seen it?" Here, there are gray hairs here! I'm not even forty yet! Who is this gray hair for? ”

She laughed miserably, took Jiang Chong's hand, put it on her face, and touched the corners of her eyes: "Do you know, there are wrinkles here!" I can't cover it! Would you like to take a look? I'll wash it for you! A-you, A-you, you only see her beautiful as a flower, why can't you see that I have exhausted my youth and hard work for you? You can't sleep at night, but can I sleep? You are beautiful outside, who will do your filial piety in front of your mother? You are standing up above the sky outside, who will take care of the family, children, and all personnel for you? ”

Decades of grievances came to mind, and unconsciously, Mrs. Du burst into tears, she broke Jiang Chong's hand, pointed at him, and said sharply: "Jiang Chong, you are worthy of me!" You think I don't know? What are you doing here tonight, Xingshi asks if you are sinful? Blame me for not greeting your son and mother, don't you? Am I changing? Am I changing? It's not me who has changed, it's you! Ever since he came back, you've been looking at our mother unpleasantly, how can you do this to me?! When she said this, she almost had to believe that she had really done nothing, that she was the most innocent, framed, the least understood, and the most disadvantaged. So she cried more and more aggrieved, more and more heartbroken, and more innocent and desperate.

Jiang Zhong looked at Mrs. Du who was crying as if she was crazy regardless of her image, and was a little at a loss. Divided into two, she has indeed worked very hard over the years, and she has indeed done a good job, so that he doesn't have to worry about things at home when he is outside. So, is it really her who has changed, or has he changed?

In my ears were Mrs. Du's heartbroken cries and accusations, but what came to my mind was the recent series of events. Really tired, Jiang rubbed his forehead and sighed heavily, wanting to warn Mrs. Du or comfort her, but when the words came, he found that he couldn't say anything. He could only turn around and throw down a sentence: "Rest early." ”
