Chapter 491: Mrs. Zhong
While he was talking, Ah You came in from outside and said to Zhanhuai: "Fifth master, Fujian is six hundred miles urgent." ”
Zhanhuai's expression was solemn, two months ago, he asked Ah Quan to go to Fujian, and he has not received a letter from Fujian since then.
He tore open the fire paint on the envelope, and took a rough look at the letter, the letter was given to him by the eldest brother Zhanchen, the Zhan family was used to style, just a few words, saying that someone in the family had gone to Yulin a few days ago, and if he was not in Yulin, he must send a safe person to answer.
Zhan Huai frowned, someone from home? Why did someone come and beat him for his father?
Looking at the date mentioned by Zhan Chen above, Zhan Huai calculated, if the road goes well, it should be in Yulin within ten days.
One southeast and one northwest, what is this for?
Zhan Huai's head is as big as a fight, since he left Fujian that year, he has been free for four years, but looking at the tone of the eldest brother, it should not be an important person, at least not the person next to his father, at most the eldest brother or the third brother.
Zhanhuai breathed a sigh of relief, it was really sad to be a young son, eighteen or nineteen years old, and he would not be beaten by his father and brothers.
He instructed Lang Qing and Hua Siniang to continue to stare at Gao Huaigu and King Rong, Ganzhou and Jiuquan, he was bound to win.
After taking care of the affairs of Xi'an, Zhanhuai hurried back to Yulin, and when he left, he didn't forget to buy a bunch of food and play in Xi'an City and bring it back to Huo Roufeng.
His Xiao Jiu, has not been to Xi'an, another day must take Xiao Jiu in Xi'an City for a walk, although Xi'an is not as prosperous as the capital, but the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, has its own majestic.
Zhanhuai hurried and hurried, and finally returned to Yulin on the fifth day after receiving the letter, not that he attached much importance to the people from Fujian, he just didn't want those people to wander around in Yulin, and then returned to Fujian, talking nonsense in front of his father and brother.
It doesn't matter who he comes, let's take care of it first.
Back in Yulin, he asked Ah You to take people to wait outside the city, Ah Quan and Ah You have followed him since childhood, whether it is in the house or in the army, they know more people than him.
Zhanhuai originally thought that it would be at least another three or four days before the people from Fujian could arrive, but the day after he returned to Yulin, he was talking to the staff in the study, and someone outside came to say that Ah You had returned.
Whether Fujian sent his father's person or his brother's person, it is inconvenient for people to know, I heard that Ah You is back, Zhanhuai guessed that someone has arrived, and said to the person who came to report the news: "I'm still busy here, let Ah You arrange people to the guest room." ”
Although Zhanhuai was surprised how he arrived so quickly, he didn't pay much attention to it and continued to discuss with his staff.
But in less than half a cup of tea, Ah You ran in by himself.
Zhan Huai glared at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ah You glanced at several staff members on the side, leaned into Zhanhuai's ear, and whispered, "Fifth master, the old lady is here." ”
"Old lady? As soon as the words of ...... came out, Zhan Huai was stunned, old lady, who else can be called an old lady by Ah You?
He stood up and waved to his staff: "That's all for today, you go back and continue to discuss." ”
With that, he strode out of the inner study.
The staff looked at each other, and they all heard the phrase "old lady".
"Old lady? Could it be ......?"
"It can't be the old lady, right?"
"Who else but that?"
"It's impossible, why did you suddenly come to Yulin after traveling thousands of miles?"
Zhanhuai walked out quickly, and saw the noble lady standing outside the door of the back ya.
"Mother, why are you here?"
"Hmph, you didn't have time to lock me in the guest room and take care of me, did you?"
Zhanhuai hurriedly knelt down, but was helped up by a middle-aged woman standing next to Mrs. Zhong, the woman's arm strength was amazing, Zhanhuai was beaten by her, and his body involuntarily stood up.
"If Shui Mama, you are light." Zhan Huai is helpless.
The woman who was called Mama Ruoshui smiled at Mrs. Zhong and said, "Old lady, the fifth master's bones are strong, and they are stronger than before. ”
Zhanhuai's face turned red, he was nineteen, he was not a child anymore, and Mama Ruoshui was still pinching his arm like he did when he was a child.
"Mother, go in first, I'll let someone vacate the main house for you."
He never thought that the elders of the family would come over, so the main house of the back house has always been lived in by him.
Mrs. Zhong waved her hand and said, "No need, the house you have lived in must be like a kennel, just clean up a few clean rooms for me." ”
Zhanhuai had no choice but to wave at Ah You and tell him to clean up quickly.
Mrs. Zhong saw that the back house was empty, and only a rough woman not far away was standing there rubbing her hands and not knowing what to do, so she asked, "What about people?" Except for Ah You, why is there only this one who serves? ”
Zhan Huai said: "And Ah Quan, didn't he come with you?" ”
Mrs. Zhong said: "I brought something over, the carriage was moving slowly, Ah Quan escorted it behind, and I rode over with a few of them on horseback." ”
The house was cleaned up, and Mrs. Zhong and the maid-in-law who followed her washed up and rested for a while, and Mrs. Zhong asked Zhanhuai to go over.
After retiring from the people serving around him, Zhanhuai sat down at the kang table and asked, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
"What? Thought it was someone from your father's side? Mrs. Zhong is in her fifties, but she has not made a fortune, looking at her youngest son, her eyes are full of smiles.
Zhan Huai stroked his forehead: "You are here, I am not prepared at all." ”
Usually he lives here for a maximum of ten days a month, the meal is sent from the restaurant, cleaning the yard and washing clothes, there are Ah Quan and Ah You, even with the rough mother-in-law is enough, a while ago Xiao Jiu came, he asked the mother-in-law to wait for Xiao Jiu, he and Xiao Jiu can't wait for the two of them in the whole back house, you can pay attention to me anytime and anywhere, and I don't feel that there are fewer people.
But his mother was different, there were many people to serve her in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and if he knew that the person who came was his mother, he would go and buy ten or eight maids.
"What do you have to prepare? Miss Xie, take me to see her. With that, Mrs. Zhong stood up.
Zhanhuai was slightly stunned, and then he realized that his mother thought that Xiao Jiu was living with him.
He couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly said: "She is in the horse farm, two hundred miles away from Yulin, if you see her, I will go and pick her up tomorrow." ”
"Two hundred miles? You let her live alone in a horse farm two hundred miles away? Mrs. Zhong's fingers poked into Zhanhuai's head, and Zhanhuai hurriedly jumped aside.
"Ah Quan didn't tell you that she came here because she wanted to open a racecourse." Zhan Huai hurriedly explained.
"Bastard, Miss Xie's matter, can I ask Ah Quan?" Mrs. Zhong gave him a blank look.
"Mother, you came all the way here just to see Xiao Jiu?" Zhanhuai asked cautiously.
"Do I still come to see you? You haven't been homesick for four years, and you still expect your mother and me to miss you? Mrs. Zhong said angrily.
