"Where did the letter come from?"

Ye Jingzhao looked suspiciously.

The maid held the envelope with both hands, hung her head, and replied, "Fourth Miss Hui, it's a letter from Mrs. Mu. ”

Ye Jingzhao took the letter, and his body stiffened.

Frowning, he slowly opened the envelope.

The three old men and their wives looked at their daughters together.

This letter was sent by Mrs. Mu Zhao from the border pass.

The letter began with a greeting to the crowd.

Then he asked Ye Jingzhao for another thing.

Old man Zhao didn't have much time, and he had received a longevity picture from Ye Jingzhao before.

Before closing the eyes, I wanted to take another look at my grandson and my granddaughter-in-law.

Ye Jingzhao handed the letter to his parents.

She didn't have the slightest idea in her mind right now.

The three old men and the couple looked at the contents of the letter again, and the two looked at each other.

I was a little surprised.

It's not in order.

But people can't bear to refuse.

The third lady, Xie Shiping, withdrew from the people in the house.

Quietly looked at the third master, wanting the third master to come up with an idea.

The third master looked at his daughter and asked, "Zhaozhao, what do you think?" ”

I saw my father ask what he meant.

She knew in her heart that her father wanted her to go.

"Father, mother, although this is not in line with etiquette, but now is not the time to talk about the rules, and the daughter and the eldest prince Mu have already made a marriage contract."

"Right now, it's just because my daughter hasn't married yet, so I can't get married."

"In this way, I am not afraid of anything."

The third master nodded.

But the third lady Xie still hesitated a little, "Third master, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." ”

Madame's worries, the third master himself also has the same worries.

But if he refuses this matter at this time, he is afraid that it will chill the heart of Mrs. Mu Zhao.

Come to think of it, she opened her mouth with a cheeky face today.

I've already thought of thousands of ways in my heart.

But if there is one way, Mrs. Mu Zhao will definitely not open this mouth.

"It's better for you to accompany Zhao Zhao on a trip, and it's not easy for others to say anything."

The third master finally came up with such a compromise solution.

The third lady Xie thought about it, and finally agreed with the third master's idea.

It's just that the third room is a new house outside, and for the time being, the third master can only take out the effort to stare at it every day.

Mu Yanzong asked for an edict with the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven has made the right decision.

During the time when Mu Yanzong left, his position was in charge of Ye Chen, the second son of Ye.

The Son of Heaven has no objection.

The old lady blocked this matter.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven should approve this matter, she had no excuse to continue to block it.

Day 2.

The group was lightly dressed and escorted by Prince Mu.

Ye Jingzhao went to Yuming Academy to temporarily take a month's vacation.

It would be great if you could come back early.

Ye San's wife, Xie Shi, and her daughter took Wang's mother-in-law, a housekeeper, as well as Qiuyu, red dates, and Xiangyuan.

Originally, Ye Jingzhao also wanted to bring Xiangluo with him.

I think of Xiangruo in the house.

In the end, Xiangluo was left to guard Xiangruo.

When leaving, she deliberately knocked Xiangruo.

It's been a tiring journey.

Because when I went to Kyoto from Song County before, I also wasted a lot of effort.

Now when I set off again to go to the border.

Ye San's wife, Xie Shi, and her daughter, did not experience any discomfort along the way.

I hurried during the day, and stayed in the inn at night.

Along the way, Mu Yanzong's footsteps were not too fast.

I'm worried that the two won't fit in.

Fortunately, after three days, the two of them still did not feel any discomfort.

Only then did Master Mu speed up his pace.

Finally, on the sixth day, they arrived at the border pass.

Old man Zhao is seriously ill, and now the entire Zhao family has been moved to a courtyard in the city.

The next person came to report that Master Mu had arrived.

Mrs. Mu's eyes were hot, so she left her father and went to the door to greet her in person.

Everyone in the Zhao family was instructed by Mrs. Mu Zhao to stay and take care of Old Man Zhao.

"Third Mrs. Ye, I'm really sorry."

Mrs. Mu Zhao saw Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Xie, and came over.

His face was full of apologies, and he was about to kneel down as he spoke.

She is so grateful for such kindness.

Mrs. Ye San hurriedly helped Mrs. Mu Zhao up, and said again and again, "It's very polite to be like me, we will all be a family in the future." ”

Ye Jingzhao saluted slowly.

Mrs. Mu Zhao and Mrs. Ye thanked them again.

Only then did his gaze fall on Ye Jingzhao and nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, I looked at my son, and saw that he looked haggard, and there were a few traces of the vicissitudes of time on his face.

"Zong'er, you've worked hard all the way."

Mrs. Mu Zhao stretched out her hand, and Mu Yanzong raised her hand and held her mother's hand. Gently shaking his head, signaling that his mother did not have to worry about him.

Only then did everyone go to see Old Man Zhao.

When Ye Jingzhao saw Old Man Zhao for the first time, he was extremely shocked.

The old man Zhao lying on the bed is now like dead wood.

A pair of eyes are half-squinted, dull.

Although the body is covered with a brocade quilt, others seem to be able to see a pair of dry bones from under the brocade quilt at a glance.

Old man Zhao was gray.

Mrs. Mu Zhao walked to the side of the couch and slowly squatted down.

Whispered to Old Man Zhao, "Father, Zong'er and his fiancée are here to see you,"

The corners of the old man's lips on the bed trembled slightly, and he could only let out an indistinct "ah, ah"

Mu Yanzong walked up to his mother and knelt down.

The third lady, Xie Shi, glanced at her daughter and motioned for her to step forward as well.

Ye Jingzhao nodded lightly with his mother.

Then he walked to Mu Yanzong and knelt down.

Mu Yanzong turned around and saw Ye Jingzhao, and his heart was slightly touched.

When he looked at his grandfather, his voice was still a little trembling, "Grandfather, Zong'er has come to see you." ”

"Grandpa Zhao, I'm Ye Jingzhao."

Old Man Zhao's chaotic eyes heard the voices of the two.

Little by little, it becomes clearer.

I wanted to say something, but I still couldn't squeeze out a word.

I could only squeeze out a smile weakly.

Mu Yanzong's heart was sour, don't turn his head, and quietly wiped a handful of tears.

Mrs. Mu Zhao stayed by her father's side for many days.

Now his eyes are red again, and he secretly wipes his tears.

Even Ye Jingzhao, under this moving atmosphere, a touch of sourness welled up in his heart, and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

As Old Man Zhao passed out again.

Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Zhao went to settle the third lady of Ye, the mother and daughter of the Xie family.

He also ordered someone to bring hot water.

These days, Ye San's wife and Xie's mother and daughter, because they have been whipping all the way, have not been properly groomed.

Now I can finally freshen up.

It's just that after freshening up, the fatigue that was pressed before was released in an instant.

Even dinner didn't work.

I slept until the next day, and the sun was three poles.

Now Old Man Zhao's complexion is not as good as day by day.

Ever since I saw my grandson and my granddaughter-in-law.

Old Man Zhao held out for another three days.

Finally swallowed his breath completely.

The Son of Heaven graced and allowed Old Man Zhao to return to Beijing for burial.

However, the Zhao family was still not allowed to return to Beijing.

Therefore, the Zhao family discussed and finally decided to bury Old Man Zhao at the border first.

In the future, the Zhao family will be rehabilitated, and then the old man Zhao will be moved back to Kyoto for burial.
