CHAPTER XX

"Second uncle?" Zhou Yunxue stopped between two steps from him

"What did he tell you?" Zhou Qingzhi tilted his head to look at her

"Wu Changjun's matter, and tell me to have less dealings with you." Zhou Yunxue also tilted her head and winked at him with a smile

Zhou Qingzhi curled the corners of his lips disdainfully, and said, "He is really too idle." "It's really nosy, and when he goes back, he has to find something to do for him

Zhou Yunxue just smiled and said, "Don't worry about him." ”

"Second Uncle is free tonight?"

"How?" Zhou Qingzhi wondered

"I'm in a good mood today, I want to have a few drinks." Zhou Yunxue said, originally she wanted to find Zhaoyang, but now the situation at home is not good for her.

Zhou Qingzhi smiled and said, "I have time, how about I bring wine to you tonight?" ”

Zhou Yunxue thought about it and said, "It's okay." "After all, although she is a boudoir woman, she is the second uncle, and she has no blood, so it is not good to go to him at night, but he can come over secretly, uh... How is it a little strange to say this, Zhou Yunxue frowned.

Zhou Qingzhi frowned again when he saw her, and said, "What do you want?" ”

"It's okay, I'll go back to the room first, and the second uncle will go to the garden if he wants to go to the garden." After speaking, he took the two maids back to the courtyard.

Zhou Qingzhi looked at her back funny and shook her head, the little girl is still too young.

For several days, Aunt Jing stayed in her own courtyard, and I heard that she couldn't get out of bed, Zhou Nanzhi went to see it a few times, Zhou Yunxue asked her to tell her about her grandmother's desire to renew her father's string, and she didn't see any movement, and Aunt Shen has not been in contact with each other since Zhou Yunxia died.

On this day, Zhou Yunxue was reading the script in the old place, but someone outside the door spread the word, saying that the dark six who sent the letter to the young lady came back, Zhou Qingzhi called someone in, and the dark six who was dressed in black saluted the two of them and took out a letter, saying, "This letter was sent to the young lady by the general." After Zhou Yunxue took it, he withdrew.

Zhou Yunxue opened the letter, read it quickly, handed it to Zhou Qingzhi, and said, "Take a look." ”

Zhou Qingzhi took the letter, and the general Liu Xian said in the letter that he had arrested the adjutant, cleaned the Liu family army, and found that there were many secret agents in the army, including the crown prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, except for the younger princes below the ninth prince, these princes seem to be ready to move, and the emperor has issued an edict to let him come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhou Yunxue leaned on the soft couch and sighed, "The emperor is old, and the princes have grown up." ”

Zhou Qingzhi sneered, put away the letter, and said, "The emperor is not too old. The brain is still good. ”

Zhou Yunxue also smiled, "That's right, but this scene can't be brilliant for the three princes anyway." "The so-called one person ascends to heaven with a chicken dog, if the three princes sit in that position, the Wu family is still the mother's family, and the three princes will be promoted because of their faces, which is not a happy thing.

"Don't panic." And him

"I'll be married in more than two years, and marriage will be a troublesome matter at that time." She is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and her father is the Marquis of Yongning, and there are 200,000 soldiers and horses in her hands, but she is a fragrant bun.

Zhou Qing was stunned, and then said, "There are still two years, we are not in a hurry to plan." "She'll be thirteen in a few months, and in two years, it's time to send a message to the other side.

Zhou Yunxue nodded, her family still has time, and she will give up that reputation when the time comes, anyway, she doesn't want to get married, but during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor will hold a banquet every year, and her grandfather is back, and I don't know if anything will happen, hehe, she is looking forward to this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

"I'll go to the General's Mansion in two days to see my grandmother." The uncles are all in the border city, the eldest uncle and the second uncle are one twenty and six and twenty and three, but the family affairs are undecided, and the grandmother does not go out to socialize on weekdays, since she came back, she has not been to see, and it is time to go to see her grandmother, her grandmother's surname is Xiao, and she was also one of the best beauties in Kyoto back then, originally the Xiao family wanted her to enter the palace, but she fell in love with her grandfather who had just returned from winning the battle and had a big beard, and the family was against it, only the grandmother's mother-in-law Zhang agreed, and insisted on marrying her grandmother. And the maternal grandfather had fallen in love with his grandmother, so he naturally married happily, the relationship between the husband and wife was very good, and there was no concubine room, which was what her mother said to her after she came back from the rented house after she was sensible, she saw very clearly that her mother at that time was full of envy, and with a little loneliness, only a few people can do it in a lifetime, and his father is not that person, in her previous life, she also longed for Wu Changjun to be that person, but unfortunately, it is worse than his father.

"Hmm." Zhou Qingzhi replied casually, but his mind was about her family.

Today, Zhou Yunxue took a carriage to the general's mansion under the advice of the old lady, she handed a post to her grandmother the day before yesterday, and told her grandmother, and her grandmother prepared a gift for her to take with her.

The carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion again, and Mama Youwei was already waiting there, and when she saw the carriage, she greeted her and said, "County lord." Reach out and help her out of the carriage.

Zhou Yunxue looked at Mama Zhan beside her grandmother, so she got out of the car with her support, and said, "I'm tired of Mama Zhan." ”

After she stood firm, Mama Zhan let go of her hand and smiled, "It was the old lady who ordered the old slave to wait for the county lord again, and the old lady has been waiting for the county lord in the lobby for a while." ”

Zhou Yunxue smiled: "Grandmother just doesn't listen to persuasion. ”

"Isn't it?" Mama Zhan led her into the door and said, "The old lady is so happy to see the county lord coming. ”

"The weather has been getting hotter lately, but can grandmother still stand it?"

"I've started to put an ice basin in the house, but my appetite is not very good, and the amount of food is less than before."

Zhou Yunxue nodded, her grandmother would have a bitter summer every year, and she would lose a lot of weight in a summer.

As soon as she entered the hall, Xiao Shi greeted her from the inside, her face was happy, her eyes were soft, and Zhou Yunxue smiled and called softly, "Grandmother." ”

"Alas~" Xiao Shi took her hand and looked at her, some time ago, it was rumored that her granddaughter had changed, and now she looks different from before, whether it is dress or temperament, she looks like a noble daughter.

"Have you eaten?" Shaw asked

Zhou Yunxue said with a smile, "No, I just want to come to my grandmother's place for a meal, and I will miss the sauce elbow in my grandmother's kitchen for a long time." ”

"That's good, grandmother hasn't had lunch, Mama Liu is going to ask someone to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." After saying that, he pulled her to the inner room

Mama Liu hurriedly responded and ordered someone to prepare dishes and chopsticks.

Xiao Shi said again: "But Xue'er wants to eat sauce elbows, but now I don't have it, and grandmother will let people make it when dinner." ”

"Okay." This is to keep her for dinner, Zhou Yunxue smiled and said, "If you don't have dinner, you can eat it tomorrow." ”

Xiao Shi said in surprise: "Your grandmother promised you to stay here?" ”

Zhou Yunxue said: "My granddaughter wants to pester my grandmother for a few more days." ”

Xiao Shi laughed and said, "Then you can stay for a few days if you want, and after a while, your grandfather and a few of your cousins will come back." ”

The two sat at the dinner table, the maid had already set up the dishes and chopsticks, and after cleaning her hands, Zhou Yunxue gave Xiao a chopstick dish, and said, "My grandfather also sent a letter to my granddaughter a few days ago, and Xue'er will stay here for a few more days." ”

Xiao Shi ate the dishes in the bowl and said, "I don't know if your grandfather has left now." ”

"It's time to go." Can the emperor's edict not arrive on time?

The Liu family's dinner table is not like the Hou Mansion, most of them are chatting while eating, and they don't need a maid to serve on the side, she likes it very much, not depressed.

Chatted with Xiao Shi about some trivial matters, she deliberately ate full, accompanied Xiao Shi to eat and chat, Xiao Shi unconsciously used an extra bowl of rice, and put down the chopsticks when he felt a little supported, the two left the table and rinsed their mouths, and the maid served tea, Mama Liu looked at her own wife who ate a little, and said with a smile, "Today, the county lord came over, and the old lady ate one more bowl of rice than usual, and the old slave ordered someone to cook some tea soup to eliminate food?" ”

Xiao Shi smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, I also feel a little panicked." ”

Zhou Yunxue took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Grandmother can eat more next time, otherwise my grandfather will be angry when he comes back." ”

Xiao Shi smiled: "How could he not know that I have a bitter summer every year." ”

"Grandmother, you need to eat more on weekdays, but if you can't do it, you should go to the village for some time, the village will be cooler than this."

"Grandmother also thinks, it's a pity that I can't go, your grandfather must always be restrained by someone in the border city, no, the people of the heavenly family have a lot of thoughts."

Also, my grandfather and cousin are both in the border city with heavy troops, and no one stays in the capital, so if there is any disobedience... The Tian family is suspicious, obviously they can't do without their grandfather, and they just do this kind of thing, Zhou Yunxue covered the mockery at the corner of her mouth with drinking tea, and said, "Then put more ice basins, but you should also pay attention not to catch a cold." ”

"Mama Liu and Mama Zhan know, don't worry about it."

After chatting with my grandmother, I waited for her to take a break, and I also let Mama Zhan take it to Cuiyun Courtyard, where she came to the General's Mansion with her mother, the scenery here has not changed at all, and the flowers and trees can be seen to be often pruned.

About an hour later, Zhou Yunxue woke up, half of the ice in the ice basin melted, and when the lychees and grapes saw that there was movement inside, they said outside, "Miss is awake?" ”

"Hmm." Zhou Yunxue responded and said, "Come in." ”

The two maids came in with the curtain, and saw Zhou Yunxue sitting on the bed with a little stunned eyes, afraid that she had just woken up and had not come back to her senses, Lychee took shoes and put them on, grapes also brought clothes, and Pomegranate came in with a troll for washing in a basin.

Zhou Yunxue asked a few maids to wait, and only came back to her senses when she sat in front of the dresser, and asked, "Is my grandmother awake?" ”

Lychee said: "I haven't seen the little maid come over to tell you." ”

"Then bring the book, I'll read it here, and it's fine anyway."

After combing her hair, Lychee came over with a notebook, Zhou Yunxue leaned on the soft couch on the side, and Pomegranate took tea and snacks and put them on the table so that a few maids could retreat.
