At this time, in the capital, in the Buddhist hall in the backyard of the Conleber Mansion.

The old lady Kang Lebo looked at the letter in her hand, the smile on her face slowly faded, and Mama Qin next to her carefully brought a cup of ginseng tea over, and asked with concern: "Old lady, is it the letter of the third son?" ”

"yes!" The old lady put down the letter in her hand, closed her eyes and twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, and after a while, she sighed slightly and whispered: "When you grow up, you can make your own decisions in case of trouble!" ”

Mama Qin originally wanted to persuade her, but when she heard this, she immediately closed her mouth. She knew that the old lady had always been dissatisfied with the fact that the third prince had privately married a second-married woman in Anping County, and because of this matter, the old lady was not less squeezed by the lady, and there were a lot of rumors in the capital, and now this matter is completely taboo in the old lady.

But looking at the old lady's depressed appearance, Mama Qin was still a little worried about her body, and deliberately picked something happy and said, "Old lady, this time the third prince has sent you a lot of New Year's goods!" In addition to the previous reward, this is the first time, and the slave and maid still look at the contents with care. ”

"It's not that heart, it's the Hua family or the Hua family, who helped prepare it, and Achu also sent a letter to help say good things! Hmph, I think that woman is also a clever man! The old lady snorted coldly, and her impression of Hua Ronghua in her heart could be said to have dropped to the freezing point.

Mama Qin couldn't answer for a while, and only after a while did she smile and say: "It's also the few people around the third prince who will coax people to go, but the son still reads the old lady, doesn't it mean that the rabbit skin of those shoes was specially called by the son?" ”

"But it was the Hua clan who made it!" The old lady snorted, "I want the old man to admit her, so I don't fall for him!" ”

Mama Qin pondered, "The slave dismantled those shoes and redid them for you?" It's a rabbit skin hunted by the third son, and it's a pity to throw it away. ”

The old lady hummed softly, and Mama Qin had a number in her heart.

"Old lady, the slave maid sees that the strawberries sent by the son are good, do you want to bring some over and taste them." Mama Qin asked.

"Hmph, that's also the idea of the Hua Clan, right? It's not easy to store this stuff until winter! The old lady was still a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Mama Qin thought for a while and smiled: "Even if it's her idea, if there is no son, she can't do anything with her." After all, the credit of the son in this year's ceremony is greater. ”

After Mama Qin said this, the old lady's heart was also much more comfortable, and she nodded lightly, "Well, although Ah Chu is a little rougher, he is still filial, and he knows who is better for him!" ”

"This is natural, in this uncle's mansion, who else is really thinking about the third prince except the old lady?" Mama Qin smiled and blessed her body, "The slave will go and bring you some strawberries." ”

After a while, Mama Qin came in with a blue and white porcelain bowl filled with strawberries, "Old lady, the slave maid picked some big and good colors, you can taste them." ”

The old lady looked at the bright red strawberries in the white porcelain bowl and also had some interest, "Let's not talk about how this thing is eaten, it is pleasing to watch!" ”

"Yes!" Mama Qin smiled and said, "Old lady, this strawberry has been stored in ice cubes, you have to eat less, don't be greedy and eat it to spoil your stomach." ”

The old lady picked up a strawberry with a toothpick and put it in her mouth, and couldn't help smacking her lips, "It's so cool, but the sweet and sour taste is just right, and the aroma of strawberries is also very strong, which is really good in the winter when the number of fruits is scarce!" ”

"Yes! I heard from the people in the trading house that the third prince took this kind of strawberry to sell in the county, but the result was that the supply exceeded the demand! Unexpectedly, the third prince also has the demeanor of an old lady, and he can earn money casually, and the old lady will be able to worry less about him in the future. Mama Qin smiled and praised.

The old lady put the toothpick down and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the point of doing these things of the last merchants?" "Although the old lady is from the imperial business, she does not want her children and grandchildren to follow this path.

Mama Qin was shocked to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly remedied, "Maybe this is Fahrenheit's idea again!" She was originally a businessman, so it is not surprising that she has these little abacus! ”

"I don't know what Achu thinks of marrying that kind of woman who humiliates the family, he wants to secretly accept it, and he actually told me that he wants to marry her! And she married without waiting for my consent, I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup that woman poured into her! The old lady finally couldn't help but complain: "That pearl is also useless, I can't even serve a man when I send him over so far away!" ”

When it came to pearls, Mama Qin also looked disdainful, but she was worried that the old lady would know about the benefits she had received, so she tried to say, "Speaking of pearls, I heard the rough maid ring Xiaocao say that she talked to her wife!" ”

"Huh?" The old lady's eyes widened suddenly, "Pearl has been in contact with Ann (referring to Mrs. Conrober)?" ”

Mama Qin was a little nervous, "Maybe it's just to say hello, Xiaocao's girl was far away at that time, and she didn't hear what they said at all." ”

"It doesn't matter if you hear it or not!" The old lady leaned back on the collapse and sighed, "That girl has a big heart, or she wouldn't take the initiative to ask Ying to serve Achu, but I'm afraid that her heart is too big, and she wants to step on two boats with one foot!" ”

Seeing that the old lady did not doubt herself, Mama Qin let out a sigh of relief, for fear that the old lady would ask about this again, so she hurriedly changed the topic, "Old lady, you haven't eaten much for dinner, do you want to bring you a bowl of bird's nest?" ”

"Well, I've eaten a few sour strawberries and I've got some appetite, so let's bring them up." The old lady nodded.

Mama Qin instructed the little girl to return to the house after the meal, and asked thoughtfully: "Old lady, the third son brought New Year's goods to the house for the first time, do you want to send some to the uncle?" It's also father and son. ”

The old lady frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed on her face unconsciously, "Just send half of the corn and mushroom fungus, and send a box of strawberries." ”

"Uh...... Here, a total of six boxes of strawberries were delivered! Mama Qin hesitated, what the third prince sent to the main courtyard would have known for a long time.

"Strawberries are useful to me!" The old lady decided directly.

At night, when Kang Lebo returned to the main courtyard, Mrs. An sneered: "Your filial son has given you a New Year's gift, don't you go to see it?" ”

Kang Lebo burped, fell directly on the bed, and asked drunkly: "Qi'er (Gong Xiqi, the second son of Kang Lebo's Mansion, from the An family)?" What did you give? It's been three years since I've been married, and it's serious to give me a grandchild, and now I'm out drinking, and I don't even have a grandchild! ”

Speaking of his son, An's face also eased, "It's not that the Yang family (Gongxi Qi's wife) is jealous, or he can't carry so many rooms for Qi'er, and none of them are pregnant!" ”

"Hey, didn't one of them give birth to a son?" Kang Lebo suddenly thought of it, sat up suddenly, and said with some excitement: "Catch Ming'er, you let the Yang family take that child to your side to raise, and I will have a grandson by then!" ”

"No way!" Who knew that An's face changed suddenly, and he slapped the table, "That slut Hongxing used to be the son of the slut, who knows if the son she gave birth to is my grandson!" ”

Kang Lebo choked at first, and then was a little annoyed, "No matter whose son it is, it's not all the seed of the Gongxi family!" ”

Ahn stood up suddenly, "What's the matter?" You're still thinking about that slut? I'm telling you, that slut is dead, and maybe that slut isn't you......"

"Smack!" Annoyed, he raised his hand and slapped him.

An Shi almost fell, covered his face and glared at Kang Lebo, and asked in disbelief: "You dare to hit me?" ”

Kang Lebo retracted his gaze weakly, but said in annoyance: "Who let you talk nonsense!" ”

"What nonsense am I talking about?" An snorted disdainfully, "Then what did you do when you drove your general's son out so happily?" It's not that you suspect that he's not your son! How? Now your good son has relented when he sent you a little bit of rags? How do you want to get him back together? ”

"Be quiet!" Kang Lebo was a little panicked this time, "Do you want King Han to know about revenge on me?" ”

Speaking of King Han, An's also stopped, but he was still a little dissatisfied, "Hmph, who are you blaming for, it's not your mother and your good son, one is on King Han, and the other offends King Han, so we are not people inside and out." ”

Hearing this, Kang Lebo was also full of annoyance, and said angrily: "Don't mention him to me, I don't have that kind of unfilial son!" ”

"Hmph, your unfilial son gave a New Year's gift!" An suddenly remembered what was going on, "The old lady is so shrewd, she left all the good things, and only sent us some rags. ”

Kang Lebo was disdainful, "What good things are there in that small county, what you want can be bought directly on the street!" ”

"Don't say it, he doesn't give away much of the other things, that strawberry is the only one in the capital! You go to the old lady again to ask for it, and then I will send it back to my parents' house for the New Year! Ahn stated his purpose.

"Strawberries?" Kang Lebo was a little surprised, "In this winter, where did the unfilial son get it?" ”

"I heard that your new daughter-in-law made it!" An Shi was a little gloating, "I can't imagine that this child Achu has married a good relative!" ”

"Go, go!" Hearing the harshness, Conleber lifted his feet and walked out of the house.

"Hey, don't forget to ask for it for me!" An Shi didn't forget to shout, but after a while, he felt that something was wrong, and asked his maid, "Go and see, where has the master gone?" ”

When Yahuan came back and said that Kang Lebo had gone to the peony garden, An Shi angrily threw a teacup and scolded hatefully: "Shameless slut, I have to let her kneel for two hours tomorrow!" ”

And so it went, and of course, Conleber did not ask for strawberries from the old lady afterwards.

The old lady took advantage of the time when she entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and gave the remaining strawberries to the Queen Mother.

"I heard that the Queen Mother has no appetite recently, these strawberries sent by the old grandson are not bad, why don't you try them!" The old lady sat down on the dwarf below, and laughed carefully.

The Queen Mother looked at the strawberry and showed a rare smile, "This thing is rare to see now!" Then he asked the old lady, "......What is your grandson?"

"It's the one that collided with the prince of Han Wang." The old lady secretly glanced at the queen mother, who couldn't see her anger, and didn't dare to say her words of pleading.

"Oh! It's that kid! The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, "The mourning family remembers that he seemed to be the one who followed Yuan Shuai before, and he was also made a general, right?" ”

"Yes!" The old lady smiled with difficulty, "When you are young and vigorous, you don't know how high the sky is high and thick just after you have a little achievement, and you have offended the prince of Han Wang!" ”

The Queen Mother smiled lightly, "The mourning family remembers that the prince of Han is also your grandson-in-law, right?" Speaking of which, it's still a family matter! ”

"This ......" the old lady smiled uncomfortably, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
