The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the study and walked all the way to the east courtyard.
It was extremely quiet along the way.
Speaking of which, Shang Ruyi has been married into Yuwen's family for more than a month, but for some reasons, she has never been alone with her mother-in-law. At this time, she held her thin arm and walked forward slowly. I could feel that my mother-in-law was indeed in serious physical condition. After only walking a few steps, her breathing became uneven.
Shang Ruyi said softly: "My mother's health is not good, so she should rest well."
Guan Yunmu still didn't speak.
Shang Ruyi was not embarrassed, and just helped her into the room in the east courtyard. It was like Yu Wenye's room, empty and large, with few decorations and furnishings, making it look very plain. There is a faint medicinal fragrance in the air, which also gives people a sense of being away from people thousands of miles away.
Shang Ruyi helped her sit down, poured another cup of tea and put it in her hand, and then said: "Mother, have a good rest. If there are no instructions, Ruyi will leave first."
After saying that, he was ready to leave.
But Guan Yunmu suddenly said: "Ruyi, please stay for a while."
"...?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned. He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to stop him. He hurriedly stopped and turned around and said to her, "Do you have any other instructions?"
Guan Yunmu looked at her for a while, then pointed to the chair next to her: "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Shang Ruyi walked over, confessed his crime, and sat down in vain.
The room was very quiet, and the two of them didn't move much while sitting. Only a wisp of light smoke rising from the incense burner on the table seemed to be the only vitality in the room. Shang Ruyi lowered his eyelids uneasily, mentally assessing what the mother-in-law was going to say to him.
Are you talking about family matters?
Or are you talking about Yu Wenye?
While she was thinking wildly, she heard Guan Yunmu say: "These days, the fruit dishes you bring taste good, and I eat them very well."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "As long as Mom likes it."
Guan Yunmu looked at her, with a little smile in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's rare that the things you pick are to my liking. Do you know anything about medicine?"
Shang Ruyi said: "When Ruyi was young, he followed his father on a mission to Turks and learned some lessons from the officials there."
"So that's how it is,"
Guan Yunmu nodded, looked at her for a while, and said, "You look very much like your father."
Shang Ruyi said unexpectedly: "Mother also knows my father?"
Guan Yunmu said: "Our families are all family friends. When I was a child, your father taught me how to ride a horse."
"real?"
"His riding skills are very good. When he taught me, he said that if you ride a horse and go farther, you can see the beautiful scenery."
"..."
"It's just my body - it's a waste of his good intentions."
Shang Ruyi couldn't imagine that her mother-in-law was actually a family friend of her father. From her words, one can imagine that the frail and sickly lady in front of her must have been innocent, lively and lovely when she was young. Unfortunately, time has not been kind to her.
Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Mom, take good care of yourself, and you will have great scenery in the future."
Guan Yunmu said calmly: "I know my own body."
"..."
Shang Ruyi didn't know what to say for a while.
Not only because Guan Yunmu's words were difficult to answer, but more importantly - she had been married into Yuwen's family for more than a month, and Guan Yunmu had always been lukewarm towards her. Why did he act uncharacteristically and get close to her today?
Guan Yunmu, what on earth do you want to tell her?
