Chapter 176: Informed
The old housekeeper looked at Cheng Enhou's expression, and naturally understood his thoughts.
"The old slave didn't sleep all night last night. After inquiring about it lightly today, I hesitated for a long time before I wanted to tell the master. After all, it's a glimmer of hope... ”
Hou Ye, Mrs. and Miss have been looking forward to them for so many years, and he naturally sees it in his eyes.
Thinking, it's all similar, why don't you check it out, what if it's it?
"Good. Then arrange for someone to check. ”
After all, Cheng Enhou is a person who has experienced ups and downs in officialdom. After the initial excitement, I have calmed down.
"Don't tell Madame about this matter yet, so as to save her disappointment. It has only been three or four years since the Zhenwei army outside the capital came back, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find anything, so I can arrange two or three people to investigate. The border city is where they live all year round, but they need to arrange a few more people. ”
Cheng Enhou arranged in an orderly manner.
The old butler listened, but nodded incessantly.
And so it passed for three days.
On this day, Mrs. Lin of Chengenhou was reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, but she received a message, saying that the eldest princess of Chengping came to visit, and now she has passed the second gate.
Mrs. Chengenhou was so shocked that she didn't even bother to change her clothes, so she hurriedly went to the second gate to greet her under the service of her personal grandmother.
Nowadays, if you go to visit someone else's home, you generally have to send a post in advance, and few people come to the door directly----- what if someone else is not at home?
Not to mention a person of the identity and age of the eldest princess Chengping.
Although it is said that since their daughter became the crown princess, they and the eldest princess are also relatives, and the relationship between them has become closer and closer, but there has never been such a direct visit.
Mrs. Chengenhou hurriedly welcomed the eldest princess Chengping to the main hall of the main room.
"I am presumptuous to be true today. Don't blame me for being reckless. ”
After the eldest princess Chengping sat down, she first said apologetically.
"Not really. It's that I didn't entertain well, so don't blame me, princess. Mrs. Chengenhou also apologized.
The two of them said some more pleasantries, and the eldest princess got to the point.
"I came here today, and I really thought of something out of nowhere, so I'm here to tell you."
The eldest princess saw Mrs. Chengenhou nodding, paused again, and organized the language.
"On the day of the flower feast, there was a girl who saved my family's good grandson, you know."
Seeing Mrs. Cheng Enhou nodding, she continued, "That girl is a palace maid from the queen's palace. There are no parents, no brothers. Therefore, in order to repay the kindness, I asked my eldest daughter-in-law to be a full blessing person for her, and I also went to her house for a while, which was regarded as a town. So when the groom came to pick him up, I stayed with him for a while. At that time, it was only familiar to the groom. However, I didn't think about it. Today, when I was talking to my family about that girl, it occurred to me that the groom looked very similar to you when you were young. So, I'm here to let you know. ”
After hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Chengenhou's face was gone, only an expression of disbelief remained.
"Don't blame me for thinking of it today. It's really seven years old. I wasn't particularly familiar with it back then, but I just met at some banquets. That's why I remember what you were like today. ”
The eldest princess of Chengping said apologetically.
She naturally knew how Cheng Enhou's family, with the queen mother in the palace, wanted to find the lost sister-in-law back then.
However, she is almost seven years older than Mrs. Chengenhou. She is also a royal noble, and Mrs. Chengenhou was just the grandmother of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
On weekdays, there are naturally not many intersections. That is, in a banquet with a large number of people, it is just a matter of taking a picture.
That is, after the queen became the crown princess, she became familiar with Mrs. Chengenhou.
After the queen became the queen, their relationship became closer.
Since the loss of the child, Mrs. Chengenhou has lived in a secluded house on weekdays and does not go out when she is idle. And because of his many thoughts, his countenance also became old.
Now, this man who is only fifty-three years old, and his white hair is almost catching up with his own sixty-year-old.
It's really no wonder that she didn't expect Mrs. Chengenhou to look like when she was young.
"When, when, really?"
Mrs. Chengenhou's tears rolled down one after another like beads with broken threads.
After so many years, how many times she has experienced hope, and how many times she has experienced disappointment.
In the beginning, there would be people who would come to deceive her, but as time went on, there were fewer and fewer people who came to deceive her.
In the past two years, it has been directly gone.
And all the people said that the boy must be dead. Otherwise, a four or five-year-old child would be able to remember some things. If you remember, you'll be looking for it. I haven't found this now, but I'm definitely dead.
Only they were a family, and when they couldn't see the body, they didn't believe they really went.
There were also those who did evil, so they took some corpses and passed them off, and they were all beaten out.
She took good care of her children every day, and she remembered every mole and birthmark on her body clearly.
Nowadays, the eldest princess says that there is a person who is very similar to her when she was younger.
It's been two years, and someone finally came to say, even if it was a lie to her, she was willing to accept it.
"Thank you, princess, thank you, princess. I'm going to go to my lord. ”
Mrs. Chengenhou said to the eldest princess Chengping with tears in her eyes. She didn't even care about her demeanor, so she had to rush out and call people in person, and let people go to the yamen to find Cheng Enhou.
"Stop." The eldest princess of Chengping was still sensible, and hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Chengenhou.
"I am very familiar with you and the queen mother, so I came to inform you when there is no evidence. However, we still have to look it up. This is a silver lining. It's just that there are always people with bad intentions, and you have to stabilize it. Don't be ostentatious, it's everywhere. ”
The older the eldest princess of Chengping gets, the softer her heart becomes.
If it was before, this kind of thing without evidence, she would not easily run to others and say it.
However, the last time she enjoyed the flowers, she felt that Mrs. Chengenhou's state was getting more and more wrong. So, I thought about telling her as soon as possible, so that she could give her some hope for life.
There is hope, so that there can be a future.
"Good, good. I'm not excited. ”
Mrs. Cheng Enhou wiped away her tears, and then asked her personal grandmother to arrange for her henchmen to go to the yamen to find Cheng Enhou.
I don't say what the specific thing is, only that there is something at home.
The eldest princess of Chengping saw this situation, comforted her a few words, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Cheng Enhou, who hurried back from the yamen, learned about this matter, and could only helplessly tell the matter that he had arranged for someone to investigate.
"Madame, remember to hold steady. If it were our child, and he was so flamboyant now, the wicked man would surely deal with him. If it weren't for our children, it wouldn't be good to bother now. Wait for the investigators to come back. ”
Cheng Enhou comforted Mrs. Cheng Enhou bitterly.
Mrs. Chengenhou had no choice but to respond.
