Lan Yi followed Wang Mingli and Mrs. Zhou into the gate of the Wang family, passed through the front hall and the hall of a hanging flower gate, and entered the backyard of the Wang family. This season is full of yellow flowers, white willow support paths, clear streams trickling between rockeries and rocks beside the road, red leaves on the branches and warm eyes, only a newly built brick wall painted with white ash separates the courtyard, destroying the overall coordination of the courtyard with whiteness.

Along the way, Lan Yi held the baby and pulled Yu'er to walk silently, without the slightest sense of familiarity, Mrs. Zhou looked at Lan Yi's calm and unfamiliar expression beside her, silently; Wang Mingli led the way in front of everyone, and the maids and maids on both sides of the road saluted respectfully when they saw him, and shouted "Second Master" one after another.

Everyone saw Lan Yi and the three of them secretly dodging a few times, and a few people recognized Lan Yi's appearance, their expressions changed instantly, and they stared at the baby in her arms up and down. Lan Yi thought that she would feel a little familiar when she arrived here, but she didn't have it at all. As Wang Mingli passed through the three small halls again, he arrived at the main courtyard behind the hall, and the two osmanthus trees three or four meters high in the courtyard bloomed just right, sprinkling the fragrance of the courtyard. The front of the courtyard is five upper rooms that sit north and face south, and the left and right wings are connected on both sides.

Lan Yi's eyes were unconsciously attracted by the two osmanthus trees, after crossing over, it was the first time she saw the osmanthus trees, and when they were in full bloom, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, osmanthus candy, osmanthus cake, all wanted to eat.

"Mother, it's so fragrant." Yu'er also said softly.

"Yu'er, baby, this is the osmanthus tree, and there is also one in the moon, which is the tree that Wu Gang has been cutting." Since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Lan Yi told the two children the story of Chang'e running to the moon and Wu Gang cutting Gui, the two children were very impressed, and they mentioned it from time to time.

The baby pointed to the tree and said, "Blossom, fragrant, don't cut down." ”

Yu'er said seriously: "Brother, it's in the moon, there is no Wu Gang here, no one cuts down trees." ”

A few words from the two children dispelled Lan Yi's nervousness. After the delay of these two sentences, two people had already come out with an old woman in plain clothes and gray sideburns.

Lan Yi knew that this was Wang Mingzhe's real mother, the baby's grandmother, and Mrs. Zhou of the Wang family's big house, and Mrs. Zhou's tears fell when she saw Yu'er in Lan Yi's arms.

Lan Yi took two steps and put the baby on the ground: "Baby, go see grandma." ”

The baby just wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Mrs. Zhou, but she hugged her, cried bitterly, and kept calling Wenxuan's name. The baby was frightened by her, broke free, held the sugar man in front of her and said, "Grandma doesn't cry, eat the sugar man." ”

Mrs. Zhou looked at the baby's innocent smile, tears fell faster, she held the baby in her arms again, choked up and said: "Good grandson, grandma thinks that our grandchildren will never see each other again." ”

Several brightly dressed daughters-in-law next to her persuaded and helped Mrs. Zhou to return to the house, so that Lan Yi had the opportunity to take Yu'er forward.

"Chun Tao greets the old lady." Lan Yi curtsied, everyone was a little surprised to see that she only bowed her knees and did not kneel, but Lan Yi didn't care so much, she could not kneel without kneeling.

Mrs. Zhou personally pulled her up, held her hand and said, "Good boy, good boy!" Go and meet your mother. ”

Although Chun Tao's mother-in-law Zheng had already learned about Old Lady Zhou's return with Wenxuan last night, in front of so many people, Old Lady Zhou didn't want everyone to know what their mother and daughter had already met.

Zheng took a step forward and looked at Lan Yi with tears in his eyes, Lan Yi stepped forward to salute, Zheng pulled her to his side, ninja tears. The young daughters-in-law in the house came up, praising the baby's good looks, the spring peach protector's kindness, etc., Lan Yi was dizzy by the fat powder in the room, and the baby also sneezed.

At this time, Lan Yi heard the old lady say: "Baby, this is your third grandmother, this is the second aunt, the third aunt and the fourth aunt." ”

Lan Yi looked at it and knew that this third grandmother was Mrs. Wu of the third room of the Wang family, but this Mrs. Wu looked younger than Mrs. Zhou, and her charm still existed.

"Auntie, you have found my poor nephew, it is really the blessing of the Bodhisattva ancestors. Wen Xuan, do you remember the second aunt? Before you left, the second aunt hugged you every day. Lan Yi felt ridiculous when she heard this, the baby was only a ten-month-old child when he left, where could he remember anyone. She looked at this woman who claimed to be her second aunt in her early twenties, and knew that she was Wang Mingli's wife, Tian.

Tian is wearing a satin jacket skirt embroidered with red chrysanthemums, wearing a golden hairpin wrapped in green steps, and a big yellow silk flower is pinned to her ear, lined with her quite beautiful appearance, which looks very noble, she stretched out her ten fingers painted with cardamom and pulled the baby's little hand and smiled so that it was called a spring flower, and she couldn't wait to see Lan Yi's eyes.

Old Madam Zhou frowned, and Old Madam Wu, who was sitting next to her, snorted and said, "Second child, have you ever seen a child under the age of one who can remember people?" ”

Next to him, Wang Mingshen's wife Ye Shi and Wang Mingzhao's wife Wei Shi glanced at each other, secretly sneered, and sneered: "Second sister-in-law, I think you are happy and confused." ”

Tian didn't seem to understand what everyone meant, and still smiled brightly: "It's not that I'm happy and confused, my aunt has eaten and worshiped the Buddha every day for the past two years, and finally the Bodhisattva opened her eyes and finally sent Wenxuan back." Wen Xuan's child was born well, everyone quietly looks small, and his mother is carved out of a mold, how do you say the words? By the way, Maung Sai Pan'an, Rong Chao Song Yu, he must be a beautiful man when he grows up. ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled on her face, everyone knew that she didn't like her daughter-in-law Yao Yirou the most, and Tian's words were clearly here to add to the blockage.

The baby didn't care about everyone, he looked at the teacup and said to Lan Yi: "Mother, the baby is thirsty." ”

Without waiting for Lan Yi to make a move, Mrs. Zhou neatly poured water and handed it to the baby's mouth, and said to the old lady: "Old lady, Young Master Wenxuan has just eaten too much sugar, and he should be thirsty." ”

Mrs. Zhou took the cup, took the baby and fed him half a cup of warm water, and wiped the corners of his mouth lovingly.

When everyone heard Wen Xuan call Chun Tao his mother, surprise flashed on their faces, and Tian asked in a daze: "Wen Xuan, how can Chun Tao be your mother?" ”

The baby was not sensitive to the name Wenxuan, he yawned after drinking water, rubbed his little eyes and began to feel sleepy.

Tian asked Lan Yi again: "Chun Tao, why did Wen Xuan call you mother, sister-in-law, why didn't you see her come back together?" ”

Lan Yi just lowered her eyes and was silent, and Old Madam Wu also asked at this time, "Yes, why don't you see the old family come back?" ”

Wang Mingli suppressed all kinds of feelings in his heart, stepped forward and said: "My sister-in-law had an accident more than a year ago, and Chun Tao has been taking Wenxuan with her all these days. ”

Hearing that Yao Yirou was dead, Tian was obviously relieved, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed, she peeked at her husband's calm appearance, and couldn't help sneering in her heart: "Oh my God! How could such a thing happen, it's really a pity for Wenxuan, a kid who has no parents at such a young age. Wen Xuan, don't be afraid, in the future, I will follow the second aunt and play with your brother Wen Ting. ”

The old lady didn't answer her words, and the old lady Wu gave her a blank look and asked, "Second child, what's going on?" ”

Wang Mingli briefly recounted the incident, and everyone sighed when they heard it.

At this time, the baby was sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, and reached out to Lan Yi to hold him.

Old Madam Zhou motioned for Lan Yi to come forward to coax him to sleep, and without waiting for everyone to ask questions, she said: "Wen Xuan is sleepy, let's all disperse, third brother and sister, when Wen Xuan wakes up, I will let him go to see the third grandfather and the two uncles." ”

Wu touched the baby's little fleshy face with pity, and said that he was not in a hurry.

At this time, Wang Mingli stepped forward to give a salute, "Auntie, I don't know how to arrange Wenxuan's residence?" ”

The old lady raised her eyes and swept him, "Don't bother the second master, the old man has his own arrangements." ”

Wang Mingli gave another salute, "Then please ask my aunt to bother more." In the future, it would be better to arrange for him to live in the academy, and he could also study with his master. ”

Lan Yi listened, it was very strange, such a young child was going to study?

After everyone dispersed, the old lady took them to the backyard to burn incense and thank the Bodhisattva. At this time, the baby was already asleep, so the old lady asked Lan Yi to put him on the bed in the west room of the main house, and pointed to a woman about thirty years old to guard it. Lan Yi didn't remember who this woman was, seeing that she looked at her with a kind face, she also saluted, leaving Yu'er to watch her brother walk out of the house, she knew that the old lady must have something to ask.

When they arrived at the main hall, there were only three people left in the house, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, and the Zheng family, and the door curtain was also lowered.

After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she walked up to the old lady, saluted and said: "Old lady, Chun Tao should die, she didn't take good care of her grandmother, let her die, please forgive the old lady." Also, the slave lost her memory because of a bruised head, and she has been raising Young Master Wenxuan as her own son for the past two years, so he called his mother and asked the old lady to punish him. ”

The old lady stood up, pulled her up with her own hands, and said, "Chun Tao, you have now been freed from slavery, don't call yourself a slave anymore." How can you blame the eldest daughter-in-law's affairs, it's just her own indifference. Wenxuan was taken good care of by you, that five or six-year-old child is Yu'er, right? It's really hard for you to be a little girl, and you have to carry two children. How have you lived for more than a year, you tell the old body. ”

Lan Yi said what she could say again from the beginning, of course, Yirou's dying confession, the matter of Yu Pei and the oil mill business were all skipped by her. Lan Yi said that Zheng shed tears, and she felt sorry for her daughter again.

After listening to this, the old lady took her hand, looked at the thin calluses grinding out of her palms, and listened to Wen Xuan's illness and their arrest, and was afraid: "Chun Tao, fortunately, you are a clever person." Chengde's family, this child looks like you, but this character follows her father with a full temperament, he is a stuffy person who can do things, and he is calm and not panicked, so he can't compare with this spirit. ”

Zheng nodded straightly: "Old lady, the slave didn't expect Tao'er to do so well, and it was also the old lady that you have taken care of her since she was a child, and you have guided her to make her look like today." ”

Lan Yi sighed secretly, she had lost her memory, where did she still remember Mrs. Zhou's teachings. Mrs. Zhou, who said these words, was very comforting, and she said to Mrs. Zhou with a smile: "Go to the treasury and take a few precious objects and three precious medicinal materials and send them to Mrs. Cheng of Mixian County, and thank her for taking care of Wenxuan and Chun Tao." Give Wang Chengde another fifty taels of silver, and let him thank Zhou Bantou for me. ”

At this time, Mrs. Zhou's spirit was also a little weak, and she said a little sleepily: "I'll go and guard Wenxuan for a while, you two can talk about your son." ”

Zheng nodded, and together with Lan Yi, he helped Mrs. Zhou into the West House, and the young woman quickly stood up and helped Mrs. Zhou to lie on the bed.

At this time, Yu'er also fell asleep and lay side by side with the baby. Mrs. Zhou looked at the baby's quiet and sweet sleeping face, and her eyes turned red again.

"Yuan'er, my mother finally brought Wen Xuan back. God opened his eyes, my mother must open her eyes this time, no longer let people hurt Wen Xuan in the slightest, and bring back more and more things that should belong to him! ”

Old Madam Zhou slowly closed her eyes, her expression was firm, Wen Xuan came back, she saw hope again, her heart was also raised, and she was also in good spirits, and she was sleepy for the first time in two years.

After Mrs. Zhou fell asleep, the woman next to her covered her with a thin quilt, and then sat quietly next to her. The woman's expression was blank, and even her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without a trace of waves. R1152
