"What about the girls from big families?" Guo Wan looked at Lu Yi, and a trace of self-deprecation seemed to pass through her bright face: "Even if she is a noble girl from Beijing, what does it have to do with us?" Is it possible that you can still deliver the message for us? ”

When Lu Yi heard this, his face darkened, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Guo Wan looked casual, and said: "Since I was two years old, I have lived here, even though my grandmother and grandfather always talk about the things in Beijing, but I have heard these words since I was a child, but when did I really leave Dengzhou Mansion one day?" Even if he marries, he is married to a family in Qixia County, and has nothing to do with the capital. Now, I'm just a widow of Kefu, and I still need to go back to Penglai. ”

In the end, her eyes were red, her eyebrows were slightly red, but the self-deprecating smile on her face was still there.

Seeing that she was in great pain, but she wanted to make a light and breezy appearance, Lu Yi's eyes were also red, and she didn't dare to cry, so she had to hold back her tears and step forward and persuade her: "Grandma don't think so." Although the master is a weak person, the old lady of the Qiu family treats her grandmother well, and pities her grandmother's loneliness. After the grandfather went, he didn't force his grandmother to guard it, so you had to go to your house. Now that grandma is back with the old lady and the old lady, isn't it good to be happy all day long? Don't think about the past. ”

When Guo Wan heard this, she sighed wistfully, and the light smile on her lips turned desolate.

What kind of person is her mother-in-law, Mrs. Qiu, how can she not know?

She is a money-hungry, short-sighted, narrow-minded ignorant fool. If it weren't for the Han family's willingness to take out a large sum of money in exchange for her return, how could the old lady of the Qiu family be willing to let go?

In the end, it's just a word for "money".

There is no one else in this world who really loves her and pities her, except for her maternal grandfather and grandmother.

Guo Wan smiled bitterly, took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sighed: "Come on, let's go, what's the fun of talking about these things now?" Let's go quickly, Sister-in-law Zhu must be in a hurry. ”

Lu Yi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, sighed, and said no more.

The group walked out of the woods in silence and walked along the mountain path, but they bypassed the vase gate and turned to a path among the green trees.

The courtyard was very empty, and there were not a few flowers and trees, and there was a stone path in the mud, and at the end were several clean rooms, which were supposed to be for the laymen, but now they were empty, but there were a few remaining leaves on the stone steps, which were swept by the wind, and they flew up and down, and they could not fly far, and they still fell on the muddy ground.

The group walked along the stone path to the stone case in front of the clean room, and Lu Yi said softly: "Grandma, please wait, the maid will call someone." ”

Guo Wan nodded and advised, "Be careful." ”

Lu Yi should be, and hurriedly went, Guo Wan ordered another big girl, Hongxiang, to wipe the stone bench clean, sit down and look around.

"It's not much different here, it's still the same as before." After a while, she whispered, with a faint emotion in her words.

Hongxiang glanced at her expression, and said with a smile: "I heard that this temple is going to be overhauled, but fortunately, no one will move in the Guilin forest, and those monks are also reciting grandma's incense." It's just that the place is indeed too old, and I'm afraid it will be demolished in a few days, and those laymen are now living in the clean house in Dongtouer. ”

Guo Wan nodded slightly, the expression on her face seemed to be a little strange, and after a long time, a cold smile appeared on her lips: "The clothes are not as good as new, people, I'm afraid it's the same." ”

The meaning of these words was very deep, and Hongxiang didn't dare to take it, but lowered her head, and between her lowered eyebrows, a little sadness crossed her eyes.

Guo Wan sighed, turned her eyes around, and finally stopped at the clean rooms, as if she was stupid.

A dead leaf was swept off by the autumn wind and perched on her skirt, and she didn't even know it, but looked at the clean room in a daze.

She didn't speak, Hongxiang and the others didn't dare to say more, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became silent.

Fortunately, Lu Yi soon returned, and when she saw her figure appear at the intersection, Hongxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yi walked quickly, followed by a woman in a bamboo and green muslin skirt, who kept her head down all the way, as if she was afraid that someone would see her.

Guo Wan was already solemn at this time, stood up and took a few steps forward, and called out in a suppressed voice: "Sister-in-law Zhu." ”

Sister-in-law Zhu hurriedly raised her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw Guo Wan, she immediately took a few steps, and knelt down in the dust with a "plop", and when she spoke, her voice was already with a trill: "The slave maid asks the girl for peace." ”

Guo Wan's eyes quickly turned red, and she stepped forward to help her up, but she smiled forcefully: "Where did the girl come from?" I'm married, and now I'm widowed in my grandfather's house. ”

Sister-in-law Zhu raised her head, her face was already covered with tears, and she didn't wipe it, just let the tears roll down her face, and choked up: "In the slave's heart, a girl is a girl, not the fourth grandmother of the Qiu family." ”

These words only made Guo Wan sad for a while, and tears fell from her eyes, helped Sister-in-law Zhu to get up, forced her to sit on the stone bench, sat opposite her, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister-in-law Zhu is also here for me to say, the old lady must not mention it." ”

Sister-in-law Zhu raised her sleeves and rubbed the corners of her eyes, she was also choked up, and said intermittently: "Slave maid...... The slave and the maid saved. Slaves and maids will never be called...... The girl was embarrassed. ”

Guo Wan's heart became more and more twisted, as if a knife was cutting, and said with a pale face: "Sister-in-law Zhu is using these words to rip out my heart." It's all useless for me as a master, and I haven't kept the property left by my mother, and I can't even keep you. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have been plotted all these years to the point that I don't even have any bones left. Now even the green ripples have become frightened birds, and a small thing can scare them for a long time, which is all due to my uselessness. ”

At this point, her face was as white as snow, and her tears flowed down like beads with broken threads, and she could not wipe them away.

While her master and servant were talking, Hongxiang had already dispersed with a group of servants, guarding a few important roads, while Lu Yi stood next to her to serve, at this time her face was also full of tears, she hurriedly wiped her sleeves, and stepped forward to persuade: "Grandma, don't talk about this, it's not easy for Sister-in-law Zhu to come over." ”

Guo Wan also knows that time is pressing, and if she is seen by others, it will be another trouble.

It's just that when she saw the old man at first glance, she couldn't help but think of those sad pasts, the gentle and beautiful face in her memory, and another handsome and helpless face, are now blurred and difficult to distinguish, and only in Zhu's sister-in-law's body, there are still a few childhood memories.
