After Jiang Yalan left, because he came over and asked Mrs. Zhuang to bluntly explain the date of leaving Beijing, Qiu Yulan wanted to care a few words: "Is my mother going to leave in two days?" My daughter-in-law is really reluctant to give you up! ”

Mrs. Zhuang smiled: "It's bitter cold in the north, your father is there alone, I really don't feel at ease." He also said, "After two years and nineteen years, I have almost studied in the court, and your grandfather will have to send him to continue to sharpen in the Zhenbei Army, and when you set off with him, won't the two of us get together again?" ”

Qiu Yulan nodded yes, and asked her to pack her luggage, is there a place where she can fulfill her filial piety?

Mrs. Zhuang's eyes turned on her stomach and shook her head: "If you have this heart, it will be done, and there will be no shortage of manpower in front of me." ”

When Jiang Yashuang came back in the evening, he was very gloomy when he heard the news, and Tete went to Mrs. Zhuang and asked her if she could wait for Qiu Yulan to give birth before leaving: "My mother-in-law went early, and Lan Lan was not close to Xihe Wangfu, and the child heard that this birth was extremely dangerous, if the mother could, Lan Lan would definitely be able to feel at ease!" ”

"Your grandmother will take charge of her then." Mrs. Zhuang was silent for a while, but still shook her head, "Your daughter-in-law's mother Zhou and Mother Li are also here...... If you are still not at ease, I will leave Mother Qu behind? ”

Jiang Yashuang's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she also knew that Mrs. Zhuang had made up her mind, so she had to respond listlessly.

When the news came back to the courtyard where they lived, Qiu Yulan couldn't help but stroke her forehead: "It's okay if my mother-in-law doesn't stay, what are you doing when you get that Qu's mother down?" ”

It's not that she thinks Mother Qu is bad, but there is a slave in the yard who needs to see her mother-in-law's face, and she is not as free as before. Especially the people in front of Mrs. Zhuang are more and more pungent than the other, in case of a conflict with Zhou's mother, it is very troublesome to deal with.

But Mrs. Zhuang had already spoken, and Qiu Yulan could only pretend to smile to thank Mrs. Zhuang.

Two days later, Mrs. Zhuang finally determined the specific date of departure, and according to her promise, she sent someone to the Jibei Hou Mansion to tell Jiang Yalan.

After the person who went came back, he told a news that had not yet been confirmed, which surprised Mrs. Zhuang, who was directing people to pack up, and Qiu Yulan, who came to help her mother-in-law: "The thirteenth daughter-in-law is crazy? ”

The servant said respectfully: "When the servant went to the courtyard of the thirteenth prince, I heard the two rough envoys talking like this, and it seemed that the sound of the thirteenth young lady crying was also heard in the middle!" But before he shouted, he was covered by someone. ”

"What about thirteen?"

"The thirteenth prince ignored it, and only asked the servant to thank his wife on his behalf, saying that the day of departure would definitely come."

Mrs. Zhuang snorted and said to Qiu Yulan: "I really don't know how your six uncles and six aunts govern their family?" actually called an unruly fuss endlessly-first dared to make trouble at the wedding ceremony, pretended to be sick, and now he simply pretended to be crazy and stupid! Strange that before your uncle didn't let your sixth uncle join the army, he had so many sons and one daughter under his knees, and he still made so many jokes, he wanted to be in the Zhenbei Army, not to be killed by those arrogant soldiers! ”

Qiu Yulan also felt that the sixth master Jiang Tianli was a waste, not only a waste, but also a waste - Jiang Tianli was such a sister as Jiang Tianhe, Jiang Tianhe's daughter was the queen, could the sixth room not be stained under normal circumstances? actually relied on his wife and daughter-in-law to come to the end, and offended his good relatives to death again and again!

Even if he can't ask for the emperor and empress, what about the old generation of Qin Guogong and Jibei Marquis who are gone?

Just thinking like this, the subordinate said again: "When the maid left, I seemed to see the Mi family passing." ”

"What's the use of coming to the door now?" Mrs. Zhuang sneered, "Earlier, when their daughter took advantage of the absence of the queen's parents in Beijing and bullied the queen by relying on her aunt's strength, their family was as silent as if they were dead, and they panicked and begged for mercy when they saw their daughter causing a big incident, why spare them?!" ”

Qiu Yulan was afraid that she would hurt herself by real fire, so she hurriedly interrupted: "This time for such a big matter, there is absolutely no reason to let the Mi family and the thirteenth sister-in-law mix again...... Mother, you said yesterday that you went to the banker's house after lunch today? The daughter-in-law has been a little worried about the lotus seed soup made by Cousin-in-law Feng herself in the past two days, can the mother ask for a cup for the daughter-in-law to bring back? ”

Mrs. Zhuang had no opinion, and said with her head bowed: "The dishes made by your cousin-in-law Feng are not satisfactory, and you are good at making soup." She's always been considerate, and I'll talk to her when I go! ”

Chang's mother smiled and said: "In fact, the dishes made by Mrs. Feng are okay in the eyes of ordinary people, the reason why Mrs. thinks so is because our young lady's cooking skills are really not to say, the old slave got Mrs. rewarded half a plate of cold dishes last time, and it was so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue!" ”

Qiu Yulan has been detained at home for half a year, bored, and her mother-in-law is good, when her belly was not as big as it is a few days ago, she deliberately asked people to help her cook and made a few small dishes for Mrs. Zhuang. Mrs. Zhuang had never tasted her daughter-in-law's craft in her life, so she happily gave it a try, praised it, and loved this daughter-in-law even more.

Chang's mother saw it in her eyes, and said jokingly at this moment, "It's inconvenient for the young lady to cook when she is pregnant this time, otherwise the lady is used to eating and goes to northern Xinjiang, and the cook over there is afraid that she won't have to mix." ”

"Mom's words are really ridiculous, and I can only cook a few home-cooked dishes." Qiu Yulan covered her mouth and smiled, "It's just right for my mother's appetite......"

"This is exactly the fate of our mother!" Mrs. Zhuang put down the tea bowl and said with a pleasant face, "But your cooking skills are really good!" ”

After saying this, he looked at the copper leak in the corner of the house, and urged the meal, "After I finished going to the dealer's house, I have to tell her about Man'er today." Otherwise, after I leave, maybe your aunt will hesitate for a while, isn't this delaying the youth of the two children in vain? ”

Qiu Yulan agreed.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had lunch, Mrs. Zhuang took Chang's mother and others to the banker's house to discuss the matter of Zhuang Man and Ling drunk, and Qiu Lulan sent her mother-in-law to the second gate and went back to her yard.

Before entering the door, Shen Shui greeted him: "Aunt Gu just sent someone to find the young lady and said something." ”

"Oh?" Unlike Mrs. Zhuang, who didn't take Gu Qianna in her eyes at all, Qiu Yulan has always been wary of this former Zhou princess, but Jiang Yadan's backyard also involves the raising of many children under his knees, and she, as a younger daughter-in-law, is not good at talking, and her eyes are condensed when she hears the words at this moment, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Shui said: "The tenth grandson has not spoken for a while. ”

Qiu Yulan frowned: "What does this mean?" ”

"The person sent by Aunt Gu said that since the day she entered the door, the tenth grandson has not said a word." Shen Shui pursed her lips, "She originally thought that the tenth grandson was born unable to speak, but after a few days of knocking on the side, she found out that the tenth grandson was frightened when his biological mother was 'sent' by his wife, and he hasn't said a word since." Aunt Gu said that she had been coaxing for several days, but the tenth grandson never spoke, and now he refused to even go out of the house, seeing that he was getting weaker day by day, and was worried that she would be responsible, so she sent someone to explain that she wanted to ask Mrs. for advice, what should I do? ”

Could it be that you are scared to close yourself? Qiu Yulan pondered for a while: "When his biological mother was 'sent', how could he let him see it?" ”

The tenth grandson Jiang Jingheng still has a little impression of her: this is Jiang Yadan's second son, his biological mother Cao, who is quite liked by Jiang Yadan, and has relied on pampering and bullying Xiao Tao before - when Xiao Tao's was in a difficult situation the year before last, Qiu Yulan and Jiang Yashuang went to Jiang Yadan's courtyard to persuade peace, and they bumped into this nephew and his half-sister Eleventh Sun Miss Jiang Huizhu, and the two of them deliberately made noise in the courtyard in front of Xiao Tao's inner room and tortured their mother-in-law.

Some time ago, when Mrs. Zhuang ordered a thorough investigation of Xiao Tao's marriage, she found the most fine and soft in Cao's house, most of which were inseparable from Xiao Tao's things, and even the few treasures that collided in He Shuijin's hands were also handled by her.

Although she insisted that Xiao Tao rewarded her at that time...... But how could Mrs. Zhuang believe it?

Therefore, the Cao family was naturally carried out by Mrs. Zhuang's order and dragged to the courtyard to be beaten to death to set an example!

When the Cao family was killed, according to the rules, the people in the backyard of Jiangya Dan had to be present to watch it as a deterrent. But Jiang Yadan's children should not be among them, in the end, these children are still young, and it is difficult not to scare things out of such a scene - except for Jiang Jinghu, the ninth grandson who fell into the water and died young, the oldest of Jiang Yadan's children is Jiang Jingheng, who is only ten years old.

At this moment, Qiu Yulan couldn't help but think about whether the subordinates didn't care to let Jiang Jingheng run out and see the death of his biological mother, or did someone do it on purpose?

Shen Shui shook his head: "The person who came didn't say it." ”

"Then you go and ask well!" Qiu Yulan frowned, "Tell her that her mother is not here now, and when her mother comes back, I will tell her about it." ”

After the sinking water receded, Zhou's mother said a little worriedly: "Young lady, I'm afraid that Madame will be angry when she finds out about this." ”

"The Gu family pushed the matter to me, and I can't take responsibility for this matter, what if I don't tell my mother?" Qiu Yulan sighed, she estimated that Jiang Jingheng was overstimulated, resulting in a loss of voice, if this situation wants to return to normal, she has to spend a lot of effort to appease and coax, and it is best to change the environment or something.

However, at this time, filial piety comes first, and children are not as important as the elderly. Mrs. Zhuang doesn't like her grandson, I'm afraid that after knowing it, she doesn't necessarily give priority to how to restore Jiang Jingheng to normal, but thinks that her grandson is resentful, and deliberately doesn't speak to show resistance!

Mother Zhou sighed: "Although the Cao family is not good, the tenth grandson is the blood of the Jiang family. Madame doesn't value him, but the old lady and our son still regard him as his own family...... Why should you be a child who was taught bad by his biological mother and ruined the feelings of his family? ”

"I think so too, but my mother's temper also knows it." Qiu Yulan said helplessly, "So, when I go back, I will try to persuade my mother to appease these children under the knees of the starling?" Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, "By the way, Gu Qianna only said to ask her mother, what about the starling?" He's his own father, so he doesn't have an explanation? ”

Zhou's mother hesitated: "Did you go out again?" ”

"Mother hasn't left yet, how dare he?" Qiu Yulan can be regarded as the second advantage of finding this uncle's friendship and love for his younger siblings - listening to his mother's words - after returning from Shazhou, because he was reprimanded by Mrs. Zhuang from time to time, he didn't dare to visit the Qinglou once!

But thinking of the eldest uncle's friendship with her younger siblings, she suddenly thought of something again, "By the way, the ninth sister has never come back?!" ”

Four rooms, three sons and two daughters, although this ninth lady Jiang Qilai is a concubine, she is several years older than Jiang Yashuang and has already left the cabinet, and she usually does not return to her parents' house, but she is the daughter of the fourth room. But Qiu Lulan has been in the door for two or three years, and the child is about to be born, and she has only seen her once-that is, when she entered the door!

"Didn't you hear that her husband was exiled? What's going on? Qiu Yulan thought thoughtfully, "If you want to say that she was suppressed by her mother-in-law and didn't dare to go back to her parents' house, just like Ning Xin, she came again when I entered the door!" And I didn't see any resentment from her at the time...... But on the contrary, her mother-in-law came back all the way, and she didn't come to see her mother-in-law? ”
