Gao Zhaorong's impression of the Xu Mansion is still good, especially after entering the vermilion gate, a huge shadow wall and the umbrella-like pine tree behind the shadow wall instantly give people a feeling of heaviness and simplicity.

After entering the courtyard, Gao Zhaorong especially observed carefully, and even did not pay attention to the corners and corners of the courtyard.

Compared with some of the mansions of the gate lord family and the royal family that she has been to, the Xu Mansion is still smaller, even if it also has an east-west cross-courtyard, but the entire mansion is not very deep.

But fortunately, since entering the courtyard of Xufu, Gao Zhaorong, who has been paying attention everywhere, can still feel that although the furnishings of the entire courtyard still seem a little empty, it can also be seen that the only furnishings are actually put into it.

The whole courtyard is not cluttered, although it is empty, but it is also layered by the owner, so that it will be visually spacious.

The courtyard behind the moon gate is even more unexpected by Gao Zhaorong, and there are no imagined treasures, rockeries, not to mention pavilions and other buildings, on the contrary, the whole courtyard reveals a strong breath of life.

There are only a dozen people in the Xu Mansion, but the mansion of Nuoda is not deserted.

The sunlight shone in the courtyard, and a few trees that were too tall to name cleverly separated the world, thus making the moon in the front yard and the middle courtyard more ceremonial, rather than the sense of isolation between the front and back yards.

When she saw Xu Changting's mother Chu Ying, Gao Zhaorong couldn't help but be stunned, although she had been mentally prepared, she still didn't expect that Chu Ying would be so beautiful, and even Gao Zhaorong, who was quite conceited in appearance, couldn't be proud.

The two women were about the same age, and when they first saw each other, they were looking at each other's clothes while greeting each other.

Gao Zhaorong, who is not rich or noble, is naturally better than Chu Ying in terms of clothing, but although Chu Ying loses in the texture and even texture of the fabric, it is even more ingenious in style.

The simple indigo shirt and skirt did not have too much decoration, just like the woman's hair bun, which was just a simple hairpin.

But this kind of conciseness and clarity is quite atmospheric, but Gao Zhaorong's jewelry and shirt skirt that seem to be covered with gold and silver seem a little too exaggerated in front of Chu Ying.

Different from Chu Ying's somewhat confused expression, Gao Zhaorong came to Xu Mansion this time, and he also had a bit of scrutiny.

After all, if the daughter of the Xu family really marries King Xuan Gao Ke, then the two of them are in-laws, so it makes Gao Zhaorong not only have to examine everything in the Xu Mansion, but also have a good posture, and even leave a good impression on Chu Ying.

Aunt Liang brought tea, and then after Chu Ying nodded, she left the hall with a friendly smile, and the palace maid behind Gao Zhaorong also hurriedly walked out of the hall after Gao Zhaorong glanced at it casually.

When Xu Changting hurried over, he saw Chu Ying and Gao Zhaorong both with quite pleasant smiles on their faces, and happened to hear Gao Zhaorong praising Chu Ying: "My sister doesn't look like the mother of the three children at all, and my sister is really blessed, the three children are so sensible ......." ”

"Mother......." Xu Changting walked in and called his mother first, then turned to Gao Zhaorong with a smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Aunt Yuan." ”

Without waiting for Gao Zhaorong to speak, Chu Ying first said to Xu Changting with a smile: "Your aunt heard that you were sick, so she came to see you. Look at it, I brought you so many gifts. At this time, Xu Changting noticed that there were several baskets of things at Aunt Yuan's feet.

"Thank you, Aunt Yuan." Xu Changting glanced at Chu Ying, and hurriedly saluted Gao Zhaorong to thank him.

"Are you feeling better now?" Gao Zhaorong asked with a smile on her face, she didn't believe that this guy was really sick.

Especially after seeing Gao Liang's injury, for some reason, although there is no evidence, she just feels that this matter may have a lot to do with this guy.

"It's much better, I feel uncomfortable from time to time, but I'm used to it." Xu Changting replied.

Gao Zhaorong examined the expression on Xu Changting's face, trying to see if it was a lie or the truth.

Even from time to time, I had to wait and see Chu Ying's expression to see her reaction to judge how true and how false Xu Changting's words were.

And when Gao Zhaorong asked if Xu Changting was not sick, Chu Ying looked at Xu Changting with some surprise, and when he just wanted to ask, Gao Zhaorong continued to ask: "Since you are sick, how uncomfortable is your body?" The doctors I know are all ...... very skilled. ”

"In the early morning, it was hot and cold, but I'm used to it, and it's okay to get through it, if you can't get through it, ......." Xu Changting shrugged his shoulders.

"What will happen?" Gao Zhaorong asked subconsciously.

"That's going to have to be hard until it's over." Xu Changting said frankly.

Gao Zhaorong frowned, at this moment, from her expression, it was impossible to determine whether she believed it or not, and then her eyes couldn't help but cast her eyes on Chu Ying next to her.

Chu Ying looked at Gao Zhaorong's gaze, and said that it was Xu Changting's unclear words that made Gao Zhaorong's brows frown slightly.

So he smiled and explained: "Weiyang has actually improved a lot since he was as sane as an ordinary person, but it may be the root of the disease left, when he encounters something too cold, he often alternates between cold and hot on his body, and his lips are purple from freezing for a while, and it is useless to cover many quilts, and he is sweating all over his body when he is hot, and he has to take off the quilt quickly." However, in the past few years, it has gotten much better, and the number of episodes has decreased more and more. ”

Through Chu Ying's helpless expression, especially the concern and distress when she looked at Xu Changting, Gao Zhaorong, who is also a mother, empathizes.

"Was this how often it used to be?" Gao Zhaorong asked subconsciously, not forgetting to glance at Xu Changting standing in front of the two of them when he asked.

Chu Ying squeezed out a bitter smile that was a little scared, looking very reluctant to think about the past, and sighed: "It's better on weekdays, but I used to make it almost once a month, especially when the moon turns to a moon, almost the hearts of the whole family will be pulled on him." Don't hide it from my sister, I hated the lack of the moon in those years, which made Weiyang suffer a lot. ”

"Last night was the moon shortage?" Gao Zhaorong thought about it.

Chu Ying nodded without speaking, and Xu Changting, who was standing opposite them, walked up to Chu Ying and said with a smile: "Mother, isn't the child okay now, don't worry, it will definitely not happen again in the future." ”

At this time, Gao Zhaorong also noticed that Xu Changting's comforting hand on Chu Ying's shoulder was much paler than others, and even the cyan blood vessels under the flesh and blood could be seen clearly.

……

Gao Zhaorong, who came out of Xu's mansion, felt a little heavy in her heart, and she could naturally judge from Xu Changting's mother's demeanor that Xu Changting was really sick last night.

is also a mother, she knows very well that Chu Ying's expression just now will never be pretended.

Especially when she heard that Xu Changting was sick yesterday, Chu Ying's expression was distressed and palpitating, and it was not something that could be pretended casually.

And this explains why when she met Xu Changting with the emperor, this guy never drank alcohol or tea.

At the beginning, Xu Changting excused himself that he was sick, although that pale cheek was the best proof, but it was still somewhat unbelievable, especially when they didn't pay attention to Xu Changting's arm as they did today.

Therefore, Gao Zhaorong has always thought that what Xu Changting said is just an excuse, and after listening to Chu Ying's words today, Gao Zhaorong seems to understand why Xu Changting doesn't drink tea or drink anymore, and even includes the reason why she heard about the Xu family's daughter's reluctance to marry during this time, obviously it's really just because Xu Changting is frail and sick.

Gao Zhaorong's carriage slowly left the White Tiger Fang, and inside the Xu Mansion, the mother and son looked at the gifts brought by Gao Zhaorong, and both of them were a little dumbfounded.

Chu Ying muttered in shock: "Weiyang, tell my mother, who is your aunt?" ”

"I don't know, but the surname is Yuan, I guess it must be the royal clan, right?" Xu Changting flipped through several of the valuable gifts.

"That's too expensive, isn't it? How did you meet? Did you meet in Banlong Village? Chu Ying still asked a little uneasy.

Xu Changting nodded, looked at Chu Ying with a worried face, and said, "Mother, don't worry, what can I have to do with others?" Besides, when I met Aunt Yuan that day, my eldest sister was also in Banlong Village. They came to Banlong Village on their front and back feet. Actually, the eldest sister gets along quite well with Aunt Yuan. ”

Hearing Xu Changting say this, Chu Ying, who nodded her head again and again, was a little relieved, and she still complained unconsciously: "Your eldest sister's dead girl, she didn't tell her mother anything after she came back that day, and she just said that your son is fine in Banlong Village." ”

"I guess my eldest sister is also afraid that you are worried." Xu Changting said.

Chu Ying nodded in agreement, then sighed again, and said, "If you want to return the gift, and you can't be too light......." ”

"Don't worry, mother, just leave the matter of returning the gift to me, and promise to satisfy them...... It's broken. Xu Changting's expression suddenly changed, and even Chu Ying next to him was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I forgot to ask where Aunt Yuan's family lives, this ...... How can this be repaid? Xu Changting said.

"You don't know where they live?" Chu Ying's eyes widened in surprise.

"I didn't expect her to come...... Forget it, I'll ask again when we meet next time. Xu Changting scratched his head.

Chu Ying also involuntarily glanced at Xu Changting, who was a little reckless, and admonished: "Don't forget next time, otherwise people will say that our family doesn't understand etiquette." ”
