Chapter 202: Open the main door
Mama He was standing at the door of the east wing, and naturally heard the phrase "come in".
Even if it was this voice, she could already tell that it was not from the princess of the protector. But knowing that the eldest princess of the protector must be inside, she swallowed nervously and walked in tremblingly.
As soon as she entered, she knelt down first, saluted the princess who was wearing half-new and not old clothes, sitting on the kang under the south window, and solemnly kowtowed, "The master is well."
"Tell me, what's the important thing you have to see me?" The eldest princess of the protector leaned lazily on the thick pillow on the kang and asked casually.
"Yes, it's Mrs. Dong who is here."
Mama He began to stammer a little as soon as she was nervous, and when she saw the eldest princess frowning after saying a word, she was so frightened that she immediately stammered, and quickly and fluently continued: "She said that she found the county lord of Mingzhu, and the county lord asked her to cut the lichen under the bed, but the wooden bracelet and dagger hidden in it are still there?"
The lichen under the bed, where did Pearl hide the wooden bracelet?
The Protector Princesses sat up straight suddenly, and immediately shouted, "Go to Kangning Garden."
Kangning Garden is not far from the main courtyard, and the princess of the protector will arrive in a short time.
Even if it has been without an owner for many years, Kangning Yuan has not seen the slightest sign of decay.
Walking in and around the shadow wall, there is a verandah on the left, and from the verandah to the courtyard, you can see a small pond.
Above the small pond is a nine-curved bridge in the shape of lotus leaves without guardrails, and under the bridge, fat or red or yellow koi fish flock to the water, jumping out of the water from time to time.
If you enter from the right, the first thing you see is the bamboo shadow, a narrow and small, bluestone paved path leading directly to the Jiuqu Bridge. If you don't want to cross from the Jiuqu Bridge, there is also a verandah on the side.
The eldest princess of the protector hurriedly entered from the verandah on the left side and went straight to the main room.
The array has not changed for many years, it is still the same as when her daughter was a child, and even the curtain is changed every year, but the color and style have never been changed.
Immediately, a big girl beside her personally got under the bed, and after some fumbling, she shouted in surprise, "Found it."
The big girl came out quickly, the hairpin ring on her head was a little messy, and the whole person looked a little embarrassed, but she didn't care. She opened the long flat box she was holding, and when she saw clearly that it was indeed a dagger and a wooden bracelet, she looked ecstatic.
"Pearl."
Could that really be her pearl? Or was it just what she knew from Mingzhu's mouth. Otherwise, how can we explain that Mingzhu has never come back after so many years?
The eldest princess picked up the wooden bracelet in the box, clenched it tightly in her palm, and burst into tears for a while.
"Master, Old Madam Dong is at the door, why don't we call someone in first and ask carefully?" The other big maid beside the princess of the protector saw her like this, and hurriedly reminded. Z.br>
"Master, it's not just Mrs. Dong who is talking about Menzi, I'm afraid that the little master is also waiting in the carriage outside."
Seeing with her own eyes that as Mrs. Dong said, she found something from under the bed of the county lord of Mingzhu, and Mama He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, even if the news had not been confirmed, she didn't dare not say it.
"Go to the door."
The eldest princess of the protector was obviously stunned for a moment, and then ordered, "Find someone to ask quickly, if it is true, I will open the main gate and personally bring people in."
Open the front door?
Not only Mama He, but the people who were waiting around the eldest princess were all surprised, and they all looked at the eldest princess in surprise.
The eldest lady who had reminded the princess before hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, what if you still make a mistake?"
Opening the main gate is a big deal, if it is really the Lord of Mingzhu himself who comes back, it is nothing.
But what if not?
Even if it's the current one, even if it's like this, I'm afraid that only the Mingzhu County Lord himself knows the secret.
But, no matter what
The eldest princess of the protector herself is still the big girl beside him, and she knows it. It is still possible that it is an impostor.
After all, when the county lord of Mingzhu was lost, what happened to her, did anyone torture her, and let her say anything badly.
But even if he knew this, no one dared to really say it.
Saying it is no longer poking at the heart and lungs of the princess of the country, it can really kill directly.
"Master Dong is in the heart of the emperor, and his wife is not so unreliable. The people who can let her personally bring it to the door, at least they can be eighty percent sure. The remaining twenty percent, isn't that half enough?"
Even if the eldest princess of the protector was excited, she was still able to calmly analyze: "Just for this ninety percent possibility, I can't wronged my pearl. Isn't it just a front door, it's not a big deal if it's really wrong."
"It's the slave who didn't think it through." The big maid immediately admitted her mistake and said respectfully, "Why don't you let the slave and maid atone for your sins, carry you on this trip, and personally take the county lord back to the house?"
"Okay."
Only then did she remember that the big girl beside her had practiced martial arts, and the princess of the protector immediately nodded.
The big maid then picked up the princess and hurried all the way to the door.
Seeing this, the Qidi people and Mama He beside the eldest princess hurriedly ran to chase after her, even if they were out of breath, no one dared to complain in their hearts, and they only hoped that the one who came today must be the real pearl county lord.
Otherwise, that impostor won't be able to fall, and their princess's mansion will have to follow people's hearts in panic for a long time.
At the gatehouse, Mrs. Dong was calm on her face, but she was also beating a drum in her heart.
Even if I believe in Tian Funiang and Zhao Guo'er in my heart, as long as the eldest princess of the country has not recognized this matter, there may be some variables.
Just as she was holding back her strength to get up and pacing, she heard movement outside. Immediately after the door curtain opened, the eldest princess of the Protector who had not seen a guest for many years walked in so suddenly, which shocked Mrs. Dong.
How long has it been?
The eldest princess of the protector came in person, not to mention, how could she appear so soon?
"My pearl is out there?"
Seeing the shock of Old Madam Dong in her eyes, the eldest princess of the protector did not greet her, let alone explain, and asked straight to the point.
"Yes."
Old Madam Dong didn't dare to think about anything else, and hurriedly replied, "In addition to her, your granddaughter and the daughters and granddaughters of the courtiers are also accompanied."
"My granddaughter?"
The princess of the protector was in a trance. Mingzhu, she was just a little Mingzhu back then, but now she has a child?
Yes, even if she doesn't want to admit it, her pearl has been away from her for more than 30 years, and she should have become her own son a long time ago.
