The emperor came to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye to the old lady Kang Lebo's strawberry.

"The mourning family thought she was going to intercede for her grandson! In the end, it's still interesting. The Queen Mother pointed to the plate brought to the emperor, "Taste it, although it is a little cold, but it is really good to be able to eat this in winter." ”

The emperor ate one from the eunuch's hand and nodded, "The sweetness is just right, and it's a little sour, okay!" ”

"Yes, it's appetizing, and the mourning family ate half a bowl more for dinner!" The Queen Mother smiled and said to the emperor: "The mourning family wants to reward the old lady Kanglebo, but they are afraid that they will misunderstand that the emperor intends to pardon her grandson, so they are a little uncertain." ”

The emperor paused slightly, and then said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "If you are rewarded, you will be rewarded, and the queen mother will decide, but King Han should not misunderstand." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, "The son of the mourning family knows that although King Han is a little anxious, he is a reasonable person, it has been so long since that incident, and Yu'er is fine, King Han should not care about it for a long time!" ”

"I remember that Yu'er's princess was just pregnant, right? Why don't you enjoy some of this strawberry? ”

"It's already been delivered."

The Queen Mother's words made the emperor's action of taking the strawberry stiffen slightly, and then took a strawberry casually.

As soon as the words came out, the Queen Mother was shocked to say the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "The mourning family remembers that the prince's side concubine is about to give birth, so let people send some to the past!" ”

"Until the queen mother's mercy, I have been thinking of them!" The Emperor laughed.

Soon, the reward of Cining Palace arrived at the Kanglebo Mansion.

For a while, the people of Conleber House turned their backs and were overjoyed.

Seeing off the eunuch who had made the decree, Kang Lebo smiled and squinted at the rewards placed on the table, and the second son, Gong Xiqi, also leaned over and stretched out his hand towards the silver ingots, but received a cane.

"Who?" The second son turned around angrily, but when he saw that it was the old lady, he immediately became embarrassed, and shouted unconvinced: "Why are you beating me?" ”

The old lady glanced at Kang Lebo and everyone coldly, "This is a reward for the person who offered strawberries, and the strawberries were sent back by Achu, so these rewards should be sent to Achu!" ”

"Why?" An Shi was the first to quit, "He is not from Conleber Mansion for a long time." ”

"Then what are you doing with Mrs. Conleber receiving people's annual gifts?"

An choked, and then said disdainfully: "Who cares about his tattered ......"

"Since it is not rare, it should be considered that those gifts are for this old woman, and naturally this reward is not your share!" The old lady directly ordered the reward to be carried to her courtyard.

Kang Lebo came over with a smile, "Mother, mother, my son has been short of money recently, give two dollars to spend?" ”

The second son also said with a shy face: "Grandmother, grandmother, my grandson will buy you a New Year's gift and give you some money first, and you will be a red envelope for the New Year!" ”

The old lady pointed at the shameless father and son, and finally threw off her sleeves and left, and those rewards were sent to Anping County by the old lady with great fanfare. How the other people in the Kanglebo Mansion were angry, and how the other people in the capital talked about it, these things were not mentioned for the time being, but it was only said that when the reward arrived in Anping County, Hua Ronghua was talking to Sanzhu's daughter-in-law.

"Mrs. Lu really agrees with you moving out?" Hua Ronghua still didn't believe it, Mrs. Lu just let several laborers go in vain?

"It's not your idea, ma'am!" Sanzhu's daughter-in-law is now proud, smiling, "I will follow what you said, and say that I want to give Yu Yu a kiss, but the old lady pulled her face on the spot." When I heard that the girl's dowry I wanted was so high, I didn't agree with anything, so I said that this was what the Ding warden meant, and it turned out that the old lady who wanted to pick up a daughter-in-law from the countryside casually gave her a daughter-in-law. ”

Hua Ronghua hurriedly corrected, "I didn't give you this idea, I just said that it is better than you should marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"Yes, yes, it's exactly what I came up with with your words." Sanzhu's daughter-in-law said with a smile: "Madam, you don't know, in those days, the matchmaker ran home every day, and he had to give a red envelope of more than ten cents after a trip, but the old lady was angry, and she scolded us behind her back." Later, she said that she wanted to make room for Yu Yu to marry alone, but Mrs. Lu quit, saying that the house was for her grandson, so she clamored for us to move out quickly! Alas, it can be regarded as a relief. ”

"Then Lu Wenping agreed?" It's not a good reputation.

"Liulang wanted to persuade him, but as soon as my mother-in-law's temper came up, who would be able to control it? Besides, there is really no room at home, and there is no place to build it. The daughter-in-law of the three pillars sighed, "Alas, it can be regarded as a relief, when the house is settled, I won't go to the shop, and when the time comes, find a part-time job, and make good money to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Is there more than enough to get married? Who is the woman? Hua Ronghua asked curiously.

"It was introduced by Ding Dian, the woman is the granddaughter of Ding Dian's uncle's family, and she looks okay, but she walks a little lame! Hey, we don't have to farm now, just be lame, just give birth to a baby! I wanted to marry my daughter-in-law as soon as possible, but Yu disagreed, saying that after two years, he would be able to earn the house. This kid just has too many ideas. Although the daughter-in-law of Sanzhu said with a complaining face, her tone was quite proud.

"Youyu is right to think so." Hua Ronghua also has a good impression of the young man who dared to hide his private money, "He is still young, and it is not too late to get married in a few years, and besides, if he has a house, can't he let the Yue family take a look!" ”

Sanzhu's daughter-in-law nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, my family said the same." Then he sighed with a bitter face, "It's so easy to say where to build a house!" This time I moved out from next door, and the old lady was stunned that we were asked to pay 500 yuan a year for the pension! I have more than a month to pay for a little money, I have to support my family, I have to build a house, and I have to socialize with my colleagues, I really don't know when this house will be earned! ”

Hua Ronghua didn't speak, she had already helped their family a lot, and if she helped again, she couldn't help, so couldn't she buy a house for them?

The two of them were talking, when they saw the cockroach running to knock on the door in a panic, "Madame, Madam, someone is from the capital!" ”

"Beijing?" Hua Ronghua was stunned for a moment, and then realized, it should be looking for Gongxi Chu, right?

Sanzhu's daughter-in-law got up and said goodbye with interest, "That lady, you are busy, I'll leave first!" ”

Hua Ronghua got up to see him off, and came back to ask the cockroach, "Are you looking for your master?" Tell him to wait! ”

"No, it's not, it's here to deliver something! So many boxes, all pulled by horse-drawn carts! The cockroach gestured with its hand, looking excited.

"Deliver a box?" Hua Ronghua was a little puzzled, the New Year's gift had already been sent, and what kind of box was sent.

As he was talking, a person who looked like a steward entered the courtyard and asked Hua Ronghua and the cockroach closest to the door arrogantly, "Why don't you hurry up and report to the third son, what tongue are you chewing at the door?" ”

Hua Ronghua and the cockroach were both stunned, looked at each other, and thought to themselves, who is this person, and he is still dragging him like this when he arrives at someone's house?

The steward continued to lift his nostrils and said, "Hurry up and report to the master, just say that the steward of the Kanglebo Mansion in the capital is here." ”

The cockroach Kabakaba eyes and heart said, "Isn't the master here?" But when he saw that he was in charge of things, he didn't dare to talk back, and the long-term begging life made him learn to observe words and feelings, and at this time he only dared to listen with a smile on his shoulders and waist.

Hua Ronghua on the side was also a little stunned, looking at the look of the person in the nostrils of Gou Guanshi, he was a little angry, and couldn't help but sneer: "It turned out that Gou was in charge?" I wonder if the cat steward is here? ”

Steward Gou was stunned, and said in her heart that this girl ring of the third son's family is really unruly, and she doesn't even know how to do it, and how could she know that there is a Mao steward in the house? I couldn't help but subconsciously replied: "Steward Mao is busy with the New Year's affairs in the house, and I will send rewards this time." ”

Hua Ronghua was speechless, she just asked casually, she didn't expect that there was really a cat in charge! Hearing his last sentence, I felt strange again, "Reward? What reward? ”

But the steward who came back to his senses refused to pay attention to Hua Ronghua anymore, but reprimanded him a little angrily: "What are you asking? Can you inquire about this as well? Palm! ”

After scolding Hua Ronghua, she thought that she would kneel down and admit her mistake in fear, but who knew that she was standing there and looking at herself idly.

"What do you see? I'm still waiting for the master to reward you personally......" Steward Gou rolled up his sleeves, thinking that if he hit the third son's maid ring, I don't know if he will be angry? I'm also on an errand in the old lady's yard, probably not.

At this time, the nurse came out of the room and interrupted Steward Gou's words, "What is Steward Gou talking to Mrs. Gou?" ”

Steward Gou knew the nurse, and just wanted to speak, but he couldn't help but be startled when he pondered the nurse's words, madam? Whose lady is this woman? Could it be that she is the second-married woman that the third prince married in private?

Wasn't he pretending to be a bodhisattva in front of the Buddha just now?! The corners of Gou Guanshi's eyes twitched, cold sweat flowed, and for a while, he felt that even his heart was beating faster several times. Do you want to kneel down and ask for guilt, but the old lady didn't admit her at all, if she knelt rashly, would she be considered to have fallen into the name of the old lady? But if he doesn't ask for guilt, will the third son blame himself?

Just when he hesitated, Gongxi Chu, who heard the news, came back, and as soon as Mo An entered the courtyard, he smiled at Steward Gou, "Steward Gou has sent something good to my master!" ”

As soon as Steward Gou saw Gongxi Chu, he raised a flattering smile, bowed and saluted, and said in one go, "Third son, the slave has asked you to say goodbye!" I haven't seen him for more than a year, but the third son has suffered a lot of crimes. As he spoke, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve and didn't know if there were tears.

Gong Xichu glanced at him and didn't speak, but looked at Hua Ronghua and frowned, "What are you doing here if you have nothing to do?" I don't even wear a coat! ”

Hua Ronghua is wearing a very casual outfit, short coat and trousers, and another hair ornament on her head, no wonder Gou Guan will recognize her as a maid.

"I talked to Sanzhu's daughter-in-law for a while, and when I saw her off, I happened to meet this Gou in charge!" Hua Ronghua said simply.
