Chapter 173: Surprise (2nd Update)
At this time, it was dinner time, and the smoke from the large kitchen in the north courtyard of Zhangfu was rising as before.
It's just that the kitchen at this moment is no longer as good as it used to be, and the lively scene of the maids in each room carrying food boxes to get food is a little deserted.
The masters of each room are serving in Chaohui Courtyard, and the life and death of Mrs. Tai are undecided, so who can eat at this time, and the maids in each room are also waiting for their masters to return in their respective courtyards.
The master did not look forward to returning, and to make these seemingly idle subordinates look forward to a spring rain.
"Ah, it's raining." Someone shouted, "Chaohui Courtyard must not have so many spare umbrellas, go and deliver umbrellas." ”
With the shout of the unknown courtyard, the maids of each courtyard also realized this problem and began to send umbrellas to Chaohui Courtyard one after another.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the maids who delivered the umbrellas were holding umbrellas in their hands and holding umbrellas in their arms, but no one noticed the old and young people who came out of Honghun Courtyard at this time.
No one noticed that Mrs. Shizi, who had just entered the mansion today, quietly left the mansion again, and even if she did, no one would recognize her.
What's more, two people happily entered the house together, and one person left the house alone.
Xiang Yun didn't expect that she stepped out of this door only two hours later.
She looked up at the Zhang Mansion behind her, and saw that the two majestic stone lions were washed by the rain and were cleaner than when they came, but she was a little reluctant.
It's not that I don't want this mansion, but I don't want the person inside.
Is it raining?
Xiang Yun looked at the stone lion and realized that the rain was also washing her, she felt the biting cold, and shivered unconsciously.
What's colder than the rain is what she just heard: Even if you are willing to follow Brother Kun without a name and no point, but for him, your affection is a burden.
She's a burden.
The princess who said this is the princess who has seen the world in the capital, and she is also the sister of Kun Ye and her compatriots, and what she says will always be for the sake of her husband, and she should also think about her husband, even if they have only been husband and wife for one day.
The princess also gave her an example of what happened in the capital, saying that there was a prince of the princess family who was deprived of the right to inherit the title because he fell in love with a famous lady who made a lot of trouble in the city.
The husband is also going to the capital, and he will inherit the title in the future, so he is more about the status in that place in the capital, right?
If she keeps following her husband, it will inevitably affect his future.
So the only thing she can do for him now is to leave him?
Xiang Yun withdrew her gaze from the stone lion, because her eyes had been blurred by tears and rain.
…………
As soon as Xiang Yun left, a dilapidated small oil truck with a clear curtain stopped at the east corner gate of Zhangfu.
The people in the concierge were the ones who recognized a lady in the car and a young master and a girl beside her, but wasn't it the big house that had fallen down?
Why did you come at this time, the house is in chaos, I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything out of this experience in vain, right?
Although the subordinates in the gatehouse thought like this, they still had to be loyal to their duties to enter the door to pass through, but they happened to meet Hua Tong who came out of Tao Yuxuan and was going to Chaohui Courtyard.
"Attend the princess." The man saluted respectfully.
Hua Tong recognized it as the person in the gatehouse, so he asked, "Who will come at this time?" ”
"Back to the princess, it's the eldest lady of the big house, with a young master and a girl."
When Hua Tong heard that it was someone from the big house, his brows were already tightly furrowed, but when he heard that he had brought a girl here, he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his mind.
Although the big house is down, the reputation and identity are always there, and if it is a concubine over there, it is not impossible to consider.
"Invite people in, and take them directly to Chaohui Temple." It was also convenient for her to wait and see from afar for a while.
Hua Tong thought like this, so he walked quickly to Chaohui Courtyard and entered the main room.
Because of sending umbrellas in and out, there was chaos in front of the main room of Chaohui Courtyard for a while.
And the four big girls of Xichun, Nianxia, Qiuqiu, and Fudong have just been suspected, and they are not even frightened, where can they take care of whether there is more or less in the main room at this time?
Even if the princess came in and made a look at the eldest lady Wang, they didn't notice it.
Later, when the eldest lady of the big house, Liu, entered the house, no one noticed.
However, Hua Jin recognized Zhang Huaqi, who came to celebrate her grandfather's three-year memorial last time, the sister she liked very much.
Hua Qi also saw Hua Jin as soon as she entered the house, and quietly winked at Hua Jin.
The eldest lady of the big house, Liu, panicked when she saw this posture in the house, and the young master beside her was so nervous that he hid behind her.
Hua Qi stood there straight, looking at everything in front of him indifferently.
She can't change the bargaining chips she was brought here to beg, but she can maintain her mentality.
At this time, Hua Tong, who was looking at Hua Qi not far away, nodded secretly, this little girl looked smart, and her appearance was also good.
…………
Not long after Mrs. Tai woke up, everyone didn't want to leave immediately, so they could only gather around the sickbed and ask long and short questions, but they all tacitly did not mention Hang's mother, who suddenly disappeared.
The result couldn't be more obvious, everyone knows that Hang's mother presses Mrs. Tai's head every day, using the fragrant osmanthus head oil.
"Mrs. Tai hasn't seen me for a long time, but do you remember me?"
When this ordinary but unusual voice sounded in the inner room, everyone in the room couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
Mrs. Tai's expression of pain, which was a little painful because of her illness, froze even more on her face, and she thought that she must have had auditory hallucinations, and her eyes probed but were blocked by everyone.
But to say surprise, there was no one in the room whose expression was more surprised than that of the third old man, Zhang Yuhong.
He looked at the person in front of him, who had given him life, but brought him countless humiliations, making it difficult for him to raise his head and be a man, and he had missed countless people day and night, and he had mixed feelings and shed tears.
The Liu family beside her was even more surprised, after marrying Zhangfu for so many years, she only knew that her husband was a stuffy gourd, and she didn't want to say anything, let alone rely on tears to vent her troubles.
If it weren't for the fact that the woman in front of her had gray hair and could be the mother of the third master, Liu would have to jump up and ask what their relationship was.
Mother? Liu's gaze jumped from the woman's face to her husband's, her gaze moving back and forth to look at the two faces that were somewhat similar, her eyes widening and she could barely speak.
"Are you ......" Master Zhang also felt a little unbelievable when he saw the person in front of him, "You are Aunt Fang?" ”
Hua Jin kept looking at the expression of Mrs. Tai on the bed, and saw that the old man also had a shocked expression on his face after hearing Master Zhang's words.
It seems that she has already become ill before she can find out about Aunt Fang's line.
