The lights in the Rose Garden are gradually extinguished, but the lights in the Crane Hall are still bright.

When the old lady saw her eldest son coming, her surprise was overflowing, and she hurriedly asked, "Have you had dinner?" Why did you come back so early today, but all the troublesome business in the yamen has been dealt with? ”

Shen Tingjun sat down under his mother, took the wet towel handed over by the maid and wiped his hands, and then picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea to moisten his lips. "There are so many case files in Dali Temple, I am afraid that if I exhaust my son's efforts, I may not be able to dispose of them in this life. It's just a matter of picking up the important ones, and it's not too late to review the rest tomorrow. Public affairs are important, and filial piety under the mother's knees is also a common practice, and you can't be negligent and slack. ”

The old lady laughed out loud, and pointed to her son and said, "Say something nice to coax me." You, if you use this sweet kung fu on your daughters, I'm afraid that even the best noble girl will marry into the door. Okay, okay, I know you don't like to listen to this, just don't say it. Have you eaten then? ”

"I haven't eaten yet, I wanted to come over to have dinner with my mother, but when I came back from the clinker, I met Haosheng halfway, which delayed the time."

The Liang family has not stopped recently, because the case of Liang's mother's death in her early years has been turned over again, and the human and material evidence is complete, and Liang's mother died unexpectedly. Liang Haosheng was the son of man and wanted to seek justice for his mother, but the Liang family wanted to settle the matter, so Liang Haosheng came to him to get an idea.

Because of this, the two talked for a while, and when they came back, it was dark.

When the old lady heard her son talk about "Haosheng", she couldn't help but sigh.

Although the old lady lives in the inner house all the year round, any wind and grass in the capital cannot escape her old man's eyes and ears.

Not to mention that Liang Haosheng, like Xu Zhijun, is the prince's companion, and it is difficult for the old lady not to pay more attention to those two families.

Compared with the Xu family of the Marquis of Xinchang, the Liang family is more chaotic.

Liang Haosheng's mother was Mrs. Liang's original wife, but unfortunately she died early. The Liang Mansion is now the head of the steproom, and the steproom is not an outsider, it is Liang Hao's aunt.

Some time ago, I heard a movement from the Liang Mansion, saying that Liang Haosheng's mother did not die of illness, but now that the stepfamily had the intention to murder, Liang's mother died unexpectedly.

This matter did not come out clearly, but the well-informed people in the capital thought that they had heard the rumors.

The old lady remembered that Haosheng's child was loyal and honest, and he had always been sincere to others. He was over fifteen years old when his stepmother got married, and he had long been able to distinguish between right and wrong. He did not complain about his father's marriage to his aunt after three years, but was grateful because his aunt took more care of his sister-in-law's younger siblings.

The stepfamily also won a good reputation in the capital because of this, but who would have thought that now all this was carefully planned by her, and for the sake of this earth-shattering wealth, she even murdered her eldest sister.

The old lady sighed and said to her son, "When this matter is over, you invite Haosheng to come to the house to eat and drink, so that he can be relieved." The child is also pitiful, so many years grateful to her aunt for taking care of a pair of younger siblings, serving her aunt is comparable to her own mother, and the clinker is such a slap in the face. ”

He sighed again, "His aunt is also a femme fatale, and she can do anything vicious." It's just that she has been a husband and wife with Mrs. Liang for more than ten years, and gave birth to a pair of children, I'm afraid that Mrs. Liang is thinking of this friendship, and she is unwilling to send her to the official. Haosheng wants to redress his mother's grievances, but I'm afraid it will be difficult. If you quarrel with Mrs. Liang again over this, there will be a discord between father and son, and this will not be worth it. ”

The affairs of the Liang family really worried the old lady, but it was someone else's business, and she couldn't care about it even if she wanted to. When the old lady saw her son listening to her, she finally came back to her senses and suddenly said, "Look at my mother, the nagging will be endless." Da Lang hasn't eaten yet, so let the mother make something you like to eat and bring it up, and the mother will eat with Da Lang? ”

Shen Tingjun bowed, "Mother arrange it." ”

The old lady was overjoyed and hurried a series of orders.

In fact, there was no need for her old man to open his mouth, as early as when Shen Tingjun said that he hadn't eaten yet, Mama Cui went down to make arrangements. When the old lady spoke, the servant brought the prepared meal neatly, but in a moment half of the round table was filled.

The old lady had already eaten it, but in order to accompany her son, she used another bowl of bird's nest soup, which made Cui's grandmother smile a little stronger.

The weather had already entered autumn, and the old lady's appetite should have been good, but for some reason, she had eaten less than usual in the past two days.

I had no choice but to invite Dr. Wu to come over today to diagnose the pulse, but the old lady was not sick or harmful, and Dr. Wu could only prescribe some medicine to strengthen the spleen and stomach.

Eighty percent of the Hou Ye learned about this, so he deliberately went down early today and came back to accompany the old lady for dinner.

Every time she eats with Master Hou, the old lady will be very happy, and she will always eat more than usual.

Shen Tingjun behaved elegantly, but he ate quickly. When the old lady saw that her son was eating well, she kept putting vegetables in her son's bowl with chopsticks. Until the end, not only did Shen Tingjun eat half a bowl of rice more than usual, but even the old lady also ate a lot.

After the meal, Shen Tingjun took the old lady out for a walk to eat, during which he talked about his aunt, the old lady was merciful, so she told her son, "If you have to send something over when you are free, it will be regarded as a sign of filial piety." ”

Shen Tingjun didn't respond, and the old lady persuaded her, "I know that you are impatient with your aunt repeatedly forcing each other, but if you stand in her position and think about it, do you think that your aunt is actually not so hateful?" ”

"She, she has been raised since she was a child. Later, he married into the Wang family, which was also a good family affair. It's just that who would have thought that his father-in-law would not be able to swallow elephants and even dare to be greedy for the money used to build the embankment. As a result, a flood came down, hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangnan were killed and injured, and His Majesty did not directly cut off his head, all for the sake of the ancestors of the Wang family and the Taizu to fight the world, and the children and grandchildren of the Manchu Mansion were about to die, which was just a simple dismissal. ”

"Your aunt was also a golden phoenix earlier, and she fell directly into the mud after this incident. The former friends have become nobles, the brocade phoenix hairpin of the imperial tribute can no longer be worn, the rich and rich Xuanhe courtyard can't go in, and the children and grandchildren within three generations have no future......"

"What can your aunt do when it comes to this? She was arrogant, and she was sick in bed when she encountered this kind of thing, and she couldn't get up for a few years. She couldn't accept such a gap and wanted to die. But she can die, what about her children and grandchildren? The children are pitiful, she is a mother, she is going to die, she must not find a way out for the children in advance, find a shelter umbrella? ”

And her eldest husband is undoubtedly the best umbrella that Mrs. Gu thinks.

It's a pity that Da Lang is not at the mercy of others at all. He's stubborn and stubborn, what he doesn't want to do, no one wants to press him to bow his head.

"Since the last time you picked things off, your aunt hasn't come out since she returned to the courtyard." On weekdays, Xiuwen's child doesn't say that he comes to say hello every day, and it is not the next day. The result is good now, there is a suicide drama, and people are sick and crooked.

The old lady said something badly, and seeing that her son's expression did not loosen at all, she knew that her son did not intend to take this matter lightly. But it's also strange that Mrs. Gu did things badly. If she could turn back earlier, don't take Da Lang's attitude so seriously, I don't think things will go this way anyway.

The old lady didn't want to bother her son, and the son didn't want to mention his aunt, so he didn't talk about her.

But when it comes to asking for peace, I can't help but think of the jade-faced face I saw in the morning.

Although Sang Twisting Yue married early and became a wife, her eyebrows were clear and translucent, but there was no charm at all. It may be that she has never given birth, or she has been sick for too long, causing her body to be weak and emaciated, and her figure looks very beautiful and delicate.

It's just too thin...... If it can be fuller, how rich and ripe should it be?

This kind of talent, whether it is temperament or appearance, the old lady loves it. If she hadn't been a good family and Zhou Baolu's cousin, she would have been a concubine and served Da Lang......

The old lady hurriedly shook off this thought, but when she mentioned Sang Xuanyue, her mouth was full of beautiful words.

Although it is not good to compare her with Zhou Baolu, the cousins of the in-laws have grown up together since childhood, why are their temperaments so different?

The old lady wondered, "That Sang girl's rules are very good, she also knows etiquette, knows advance and retreat, has something to say, is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is also bookish." Not only me, but even your sister likes people at a glance. That girl, at first glance, is the daughter of a good family, but she doesn't know what she did in her previous life, and her life is so bitter in this life. ”

When the old lady is old, she loves to chatter. Especially in front of her dear son, in order to stay with her son more, the old lady inevitably talked more.

And Shen Tingjun supported his mother for an unhurried walk, and the face that had just broken into sight unexpectedly appeared in his mind.

The corners of her eyes were slightly red, the corners of her lips were smiling, looking back at that moment, the water in her eyes slowly rolled down, and her expression was both happy and sad, like a goddess weeping.
