Zhuo Zhaojie heard the announcement that Zhuo 'Jade' was here again, and only then did he remember the last time, although this would be a matter of the big house, but Ning Langqing and the Zu family were still on the way, and they still wanted to hide it from the eldest princess here, if they didn't see their cousin for sorrow, it would inevitably make Ning Ruicheng and Ning Ruiwan suspicious.

Therefore, as usual, they still went out to pick up Zhuo 'Yu' Niang to the 'flower' hall, and the two drank an agarwood drink, and briefly described the trivial matters of the past few days, Zhuo 'Yu' Niang looked left and right, and said: "I sent that Xu away yesterday." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie understood, sent everyone out, and asked, "What is she staring at Cousin Ren for?" ”

"The Tao was only bought by her when she was bought into the Drunken Pavilion, and it was brought by an old prostitute who was already old and decrepit and was teaching in the Drunken Pavilion." Zhuo 'Yu' Niang said bluntly, "The old prostitute and Ren's cousin's grandmother seem to know each other, and later the old prostitute died of illness, and before she died, she entrusted Xu Shi to visit the deceased for her if she had the opportunity." ”

"Is that all? And what about the portrait? Zhuo Zhaojie asked in surprise.

Zhuo 'Yu' said: "Xu said that the portrait is not Cousin Ren, but Cousin Ren's father, but their father and son are very similar, and Seventeen Lang also saw it in a hurry at that time, so he thought it was Cousin Ren." She still kept the painting, took it out and we looked at it, and it was indeed different from Cousin Ren when he looked closely, although Cousin Ren didn't remember what his father looked like when he was alive, but he also said that your little aunt said that he looked like Father Xiao before her death. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie thought for a while and said: "I also heard such words at my grandmother's house, and my cousin Ren is indeed not very similar to my little aunt's note, but my little brother-in-law actually grew up to be old enough to return to Ren's house?" I don't know much about that. ”

"Probably yes?" Zhuo 'Yu' said, "Xu's painting doesn't look like it has only been in recent years, although it keeps the 'fine' heart, but the fine silk that is pasted is also yellowed, and it really looks like an old thing from decades down." Even if it wasn't late to return to Ren's house, maybe the old prostitute had seen someone else? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie always felt a little suspicious: "It is said that there is a weak affection in the land of Goolan, even if Cousin Ren's own grandmother has any good sisters, how can she still remember them after decades?" Besides, entrust the Xu family to take a look at the deceased...... What can this old man do when he sees it? She's in the dust herself! Why bother to paint a picture, although the Ren family treats my little aunt and cousin Ren very well, they are always serious officials, and my maternal grandfather's family is even more scholarly, and it is a loss that the sixth brother-in-law who found out the painting back then is a measured one. Otherwise, if it spreads, I suspect that my cousin will be a 'girl' in the dust, and his reputation will be ruined. This drunken man is also at a loss for things. ”

Zhuo 'Yu' said: "I also think it's not so simple, but Xu said that when Ren's cousin's own grandmother was in the drunken pavilion, the status was like that of Xu's heyday, and although the old prostitute's talent was not under the cousin's grandmother, he once jumped from a high place during a dance line, and the people below didn't catch it well, and accidentally fell and injured his forehead, leaving a scar, and since then he has been insulated from the famous prostitute." Later, in the drunken pavilion, he was more 'Meng' to take care of his cousin's grandmother, and he has always been thinking about this kindness...... Later, a few years after Cousin Ren's grandmother took Cousin Ren's father to Qi County, she heard the guests from Qi County to Chang'an mention that their situation was not very good, so she was worried. Later, Cousin Ren's own grandmother went, and the old prostitute also asked someone to send money to Ren's house a few times, but I don't know if it was really delivered to Cousin Ren's parents? Anyway, Cousin Ren was too young at the time to remember anything. ”

He added, "That's what Xu said, but I later sent Seventeen Lang and Cousin Ren away, and interrogated her 'privately', but I asked for some clues. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

"Xu said that before Ren's cousin's grandmother entered the 'door' of Ren's house, she once talked to the old prostitute about the future, and the old prostitute sighed that her life was miserable, and Ren's cousin's grandmother had no one to rely on, and asked Ren's cousin's father to worship the old prostitute as her stepmother, and promised to provide for her in the future. The old prostitute was happy, but he did not dare to agree, but after that, the father of the cousin-to-be did love him like his own son. Zhuo 'Yu' said, "Of course, my cousin's father went too early, but the old prostitute, according to Xu's words, died only two years ago. So I'm thinking about one thing...... Do you think Xu will have the same idea as this old prostitute? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie groaned and said, "Do you mean that the old prostitute has always been thinking about Cousin Ren's father, firstly, because of Cousin Ren's grandmother's affection, and secondly, because of the righteous mother and the covenant to send him off?" But I don't think the Xu family should have the same worries as this old prostitute, right? Although the old prostitute has good talents, because of the damage to her appearance, she can only teach in the drunken pavilion. But Xu is a famous prostitute in the world, born in the first line, even if the limelight is weakening now, there are still many people in the world who are thinking of her, where does she need to be like that old prostitute to seek a way out of her cousin? I don't believe that after she redeemed herself, she really lost the money on her body, as for the settlement after leaving the drunken pavilion...... With the limelight of the Xu family in the first two years, what scene have you not seen? It's rare to fall for her in this world, I'm afraid there aren't many places. ”

Zhuo 'Yu' said: "But it's also strange, this time the Xu family redeemed herself, but I didn't see anyone holding her!" ”

"We don't understand the Tao in the hook bar, maybe she told someone not to help so as not to raise the price of the bustard? Let's just talk about Cousin Ren. Zhuo Zhaojie said, "According to what she said, when she arrived at Moling Yongye Tower, although it may not be all to take a look at Cousin Ren on behalf of the old prostitute, but she probably has this plan?" Otherwise, why would you bring the portrait? But I don't see anything bad about it? She directly told the sixth brother-in-law, will the sixth brother-in-law help? In fact, although she stayed in Moling for half a year, she never saw Cousin Ren at all? At least I haven't seen it recently, because Cousin Ren never goes to the place of Goulan, except for the academy and the You family, and usually goes out to buy something for my little aunt once in a while—what kind of 'door' is she? ”

Zhuo 'Yu' said: "I asked about this, Xu said that when the old prostitute entrusted her, he repeatedly told Cousin Ren that if he was doing well, he should not disturb him, so as not to cause trouble to Cousin Ren." So after she arrived at the Eternal Night Tower, she thought about how to inquire about Cousin Ren, because she heard that Cousin Ren was studying in Huaixing Academy, so she found Seventeen Lang...... "Speaking of her husband's affair before marriage, Zhuo 'Yu' Niang was a little unhappy, and paused before continuing, "Knocking on the side of Seventeen Lang, I learned that the You family treats the cousin Ren well, and Cousin Ren worships the best gentleman under the mountain chief in the academy as a teacher, Xu feels that since Cousin Ren is doing well, her identity can't go directly to the academy or the You family to visit?" I didn't mention it again, but the reason why I took that painting was because it was the old prostitute who left such a painting after she went...... I don't think this kind of 'female' will care if the person in the painting is a man, right? ”

He added, "Xu also said that when she came back from Moling, she also went to the grave of the old prostitute to confess to Cousin Ren's situation, and also went to the outside of the city to add incense money to the You family. ”

"......" Zhuo Zhaojie thought about it, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this statement, and said, "Then you sent her away?" ”

Zhuo 'Yu' said: "Yes, it's just that according to what she said, Cousin Ren seems to owe her a favor, I am glad that I sent Cousin Ren away at that time, otherwise if you say that Cousin Ren is here, what should you say?" If she is still in the drunken pavilion, it doesn't hurt to say thank you, but now that she has redeemed herself, it is when she keeps saying that she has no way to go, if Cousin Ren says thank her, what if she takes the opportunity to ask Cousin Ren to take her in? So I told her, since you miss your master's goodness so much, and are willing to go all the way to Moling to fulfill your promise, it can be seen that she is also a good 'girl' who is considerate and affectionate, but it's a pity that you are in a filthy place, otherwise I would like to recognize you as a sister and find a good family for you, and now the next cousin is going back to Qi County to participate in the township examination, and then I will prepare for next year's examination, I think you are so considerate, affectionate and righteous good 'girl' must not bear to disturb him - so I gave her a sum of money, Someone sent her out of the 'door'. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "You are so simple!" ”

"Anyway, what I said to Seventeen Lang was to ask about the portrait of Cousin Ren, since I can't ask about the next person, then what should I keep her for?" Zhuo 'Yu' said, "If she stays more, she goes out in the future and says that she is kind to Cousin Ren, and she left Duan Chenguang in my house, maybe someone will believe it, what good is this for Cousin Ren?" Suo 'sex' sent her away as soon as possible, and I didn't recognize anything when I looked back, I only said that I planned to ask for a lesson, but I didn't think it was appropriate to talk to Xu. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie thought about it and felt that although Zhuo 'Jade' Niang's move was a little rude to Xu Jingxin, she was thoughtful about her own people, and nodded: "Since this is the case, then this matter is like this, did Cousin Ren say anything later?" ”

"I interrogated Xu 'privately' and later told Cousin Ren, and there is nothing I can't say. Cousin Ren was also very sad when he heard it, he always thought of his parents, right? "Zhuo 'Yu' said, "Seventeen Lang persuaded him for a while before returning to normal, if he had known earlier, he should have delayed it until next year, but I hope that these words at this time will not make Cousin Ren keep thinking about the township test." ”

"I don't expect it to happen, Cousin Ren is afraid that he will be hooked for a while. Speaking of which, before my little aunt died, she always told my cousin Ren to study well, so that in the future, she would help my little aunt's coffin back to Qi County and be buried with my little aunt. Zhuo Zhaojie sighed and said, "After that, Cousin Ren, who was already serious, read more carefully, so much so that my grandmother had to persuade him not to work too hard several times, but this time he had to go to Qi County for the exam, and my father and mother were a little worried about getting angry with the Ren family." ”

Zhuo 'Yu' Niang said disapprerovitically: "I heard that the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt want the third brother to accompany Cousin Ren?" With the third brother here, the Ren family always has to be scruples when speaking, no matter how much our family loses power, the grandfather's title is still there. As for the township test, Ren's cousin's grandfather originally wanted to avoid suspicion, even if he had been an official in Qi County for many years, everyone there had to look at his face', but Ren Pingchuan didn't like this grandson anymore, and it was embarrassing that he could personally block his grandson's future? It doesn't make sense! Even if Cousin Ren was not raised by the Ren family, how can he say that he is also a member of the Ren family, and in the future, he will be out of the family, and the Ren family will have a life, and if he wants him to bring his brothers and nephews, can he not listen? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Ren Pingchuan will not be confused, but I listened to my mother's tone before, and there are really a few people in the Ren family who are particularly confused, I am afraid that they may not understand such a simple truth." I hope that Cousin Ren will not take them to heart. ”

"The third brother can't tolerate bullying!" Zhuo 'Yu' persuaded her, "The Ren family is really not interesting, just watch it, the third brother will teach them a lesson!" ”
