When Wen heard Qiu Sang mention his brother, tears fell instantly, that was the brother who raised her, how could she not remember?

Qiu Sang wiped Wen's tears and said: "The slave and maid have been with the aunt for many years, and the uncle is an old woman, and he knows a thing or two about how much he spoils the slave and the maid, and the slave and maid are fortunate to be able to give a ride when they are dying, and now I vaguely remember that the uncle hopes that the aunt can find a good family for Miss Cousin in the capital and live a peaceful life." ”

Wen leaned over and cried in Qiu Sang's arms: "I didn't want to, but I don't leave the house, how can I find a good marriage for my poor niece......"

"Auntie, you are the master's mother-in-law, what a noble identity this is, why do you have a good name to let the old lady take it, the old man has been raised by your side since childhood, and was only taken over by the old lady after the age of twelve, and now the world praises the old lady for teaching well, what kind of heavenly principle is this?" Qiu Sang said angrily.

Wen's crying became more and more sad, "I don't know this reason, but I'm just a concubine, where do I dare to go out and swagger, hiding in this Hanlian Hall for the rest of my life is all imagination, and how dare I dare to compete with my wife for the reputation of that lady." ”

Qiu Sang hurriedly changed the handkerchief for Zhang's family, and said softly: "Auntie, what are you talking about, the master is filial, I listen to you the most, if you mention it to the master, the master will definitely agree to your body." ”

At the mention of Gu Mingyuan, Wen gradually stopped crying, "I know Mingyuan's filial piety, but you haven't seen Madame's iron and blood, how can you and I be her opponents, it's just that, or I'm useless, I'm sorry for my brother......" As he spoke, he began to cry slowly again, "When I came back in the early moon this time, I didn't even enter the door of my Hanlian Hall, and in the end, I still don't look down on my identity, and recently, somehow, even Fang Fei has gone to me less often." ”

At the mention of this, Qiu Sang remembered what he saw a few days ago, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "That's the eldest lady has no eyes, and the second lady has been even busier recently, and the slave maid heard that the second lady is busy going to the old lady to offer her courtesy." ”

When Wen Shi heard this, the tears were even more like broken threads, and he sighed: "I know this, Mrs. is powerful and powerful, and she can get some benefits by her side, with such a big tree, who still comes to my Hanlian Hall, in the end, it is still my little niece who is the most intimate, and in addition to keeping filial piety, she did not forget to embroider a purse for me with her own hands, alas...... It's really been a long time to see people's hearts......"

After saying that, Wen suddenly thought of something, "Hey? Qiusang, Rao'er's filial piety period doesn't have many days, right? ”

Qiu Sang calculated carefully and said, "Roughly calculated, there are probably more than a few months." ”

As soon as Wen Shi mentioned his niece, she felt that it was a poor child, she looked at the lotus leaves in the distance, and shook her head, "That's a poor child, and it's also a good child, but it didn't go to a good person's family, and his parents died early, leaving me as a useless aunt, if she also votes to a rich family, it must be better than Fang Fei and Chu Yue, why bother suffering in the countryside now." ”

"A few days ago, the slave maid went to the countryside for my aunt to visit Miss Table, I haven't seen Miss Table for a year, Miss Cousin is getting more and more outstanding, between her eyebrows and eyes look like you when you were young, you are still studying recently, and you can read and write with Mr. Shutang." Autumn Mulberry Road.

A light smile appeared on Wen's face, "That kid is well-behaved. ”

Wen had a weak willow posture when he was young, and he was a rare beauty in ten miles and eight towns, because the family had been dry for many years and the harvest was not good, so he was sold by his parents to the bachelor's house as a maid.

Although she was born beautiful, she was a girl from the countryside who had never seen the world, because Mrs. Gu fell into the water and injured her body when she was young, and it was not easy to give birth, so Mrs. Gu fell in love with the young Wen when she was alive.

felt that she was not fighting or grabbing, and she was well educated, so after discussing with the current old lady, she pointed out to Old Master Gu as a concubine.

After Wen's gave birth to a son, he didn't want his son to follow his wife, he cried beside Old Bachelor Gu all day long, and even hugged the child and read words, Old Mrs. Gu listened to Wen's crying every day when she was young, and she had no children to listen to her heart, and she was a little soft-hearted, so she didn't hold Gu Mingyuan by her side since she was a child, but lived in the current Hanlian Hall for a long time and followed Wen's side.

How do you know that the child is getting bigger and bigger, and the Wen family is even more reluctant to let go, and even forced each other to die, the Gu family is such a pulse of incense, how can it be raised in the concubine's room, Mrs. Gu felt that it was inappropriate, so she brought the child to her side.

But the Wen clan secretly went to Gu Mingyuan all day long, crying and complaining, and was grounded for a period of time after being discovered by Old Madam Gu, and then it stopped for a few days, but there were still some small movements in the back, but it didn't make a noise, and Old Madam Gu didn't bother to care.

Aunt Fang, who had been serving by Mrs. Gu's side for many years, knew everything about the past, and when she thought of this Wen family, she didn't know how to add a lot of things to the old lady, so she didn't have a good impression of her, so she returned to Shouhui Hall and whispered in the old lady's ear.

The old lady didn't care much and said, "Don't worry about her. ”

Today's lunch was just a small banquet in Shouhui Hall, and no one else was called, the old lady just called her two granddaughters, and even the Wang family was not invited.

Because An Zhongyi is the grandson of Mrs. An, Mrs. Gu also hugged him when she was a child, although she hasn't seen him for many years, she is still familiar.

"Come, Zhongyi, drink a bowl of soup to warm your stomach first." As he spoke, he instructed Aunt Fang to bring him a bowl of soup.

Mrs. Gu likes to eat bamboo shoots, and today's soup is also from the small kitchen according to the old lady's preferences, a spring bamboo shoot ham soup, Gu Chuyue's gluttony is running around, but her face is still reserved.

An Zhongyi took the white porcelain bowl with leaves and willow branches handed over by Aunt Fang, took a sip, and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect to be able to eat such tender spring bamboo shoots at this time." ”

The climate in the capital is cooler than in other places, and the spring scenery is unknown, which is often connected with winter, and when the time comes, it goes directly into summer, and the transition period is usually only one month, which is much shorter than in other places where the four seasons are distinct.

Although there are spring bamboo shoots, they are very few, especially now that it is the summer season, it is almost impossible to eat.

The old lady also took a sip, felt refreshed, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "These bamboo shoots are sent from Lingzhou, and they are also fresh." ”

The old lady said this lightly, but Gu Chuyue on the side secretly smacked her tongue in her heart, she had copied a few books similar to geography, and the climate of Lingzhou and the capital was different.

Lingzhou has four distinct seasons, there is a kind of spring bamboo shoots named "flower feeding chicken shoots", can be extended to the end of June to pick, the taste is delicious, and the spring bamboo shoots in the capital are not there in late April, it is even more difficult to eat a bite of fresh bamboo shoots, if it is a fresh bamboo shoot sent from Lingzhou, it must be sent quickly.

Now in summer, it is necessary to surround the spring bamboo shoots with ice cubes, so as not to deteriorate and rot, the weather is hot, the ice cubes are easy to melt, if you want to send and keep the bamboo shoots fresh and tender, you must pass by a post station to change the ice cubes.
