Mother Lu walked in front, and Xiaochan followed behind with her baggage. As she walked, she advised her: "Mom, your body is just nimble. You have to walk slower and don't tire yourself out. It's time for the old lady to worry about you again." . This servant is not worried about the old lady punishing me. I am only worried that my mother will have to go back to Xikuoyuan to recuperate again. The gain outweighs the loss."
Mother Lu was walking in a hurry after not exercising for a long time. Some of her vitality was not enough and she was out of breath. She had to listen to Xiao Chan's advice and slow down her pace. Xiao Chan took a few steps to catch up with her, supported her, and the two of them slowly walked together. Forward.
After passing through the moon cave door, there were two maids on duty standing under the corridor of the main room. When they saw Mother Lu coming, they shouted in surprise: "Mother Lu, are you feeling well? Why are you here?"
A maid ran over to help Xiaochan support Mother Lu, and one of them opened the curtain and went into the house to inform the old lady, "The old lady is very happy. Mother Lu is here. Can you let her in?"
The two maids just called Mother Lu loudly, and the old lady had already heard it. The hand that was drinking tea shook, and the tea splashed on her clothes. Song Wanru, who was standing next to her, smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her. , "Mother Lu, it's okay, let's see how happy mother is!" He turned around and told the maid to invite Mother Lu in quickly.
The old lady put down her teacup, stood up, and walked towards the hall, Song Wanru followed her with a smile.
As soon as Mother Lu entered the house, she saw the old lady coming out. Her eye circles immediately turned red. She stood blankly at the door, flattened her mouth, and bowed down, "Miss, how dare you come to pick me up in person, Miss Guiju? This old slave is frightened." .”
The old lady hadn't seen Mother Lu for half a year, and when she saw that she had lost a lot of weight and her face was not very pretty, she felt heartbroken. She stretched out her hands tremblingly and pulled her up, "Gui Ju, why have you lost so much weight? It's all my fault. It's all my fault for not seeing clearly that Dongqing is a vicious person and harmed you." Tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Mother Lu stood up and said hurriedly: "Miss, your health is important and you are not worthy of crying for me. How can I blame you, Miss? I have been looking at Dongqing and I didn't know she was so cruel. If you want to blame, blame Lao He. This is just the fate of this slave."
The two old sisters had been together since childhood. It was the first time they had been separated for such a long time. They had missed each other for a long time. Now that they met, they held hands tightly and looked at each other excitedly.
Fan Xing is such a good girl. Lu Guiju came to see the old lady as she wished. Song Wanru was happy in her heart. The smile on her face was as bright as a flower. She said sincerely: "Mother, congratulations to mother, congratulations to mother, you don't need a daughter-in-law this time." Well, my daughter-in-law will not interfere with your two elders’ affairs. How about resigning?"
The old lady really felt that she was an eyesore, so she nodded and asked her to leave. Mother Lu gave Song Wanru a blessing and said, "Send me off, madam. It's easy to go, madam!" Song Wanru smiled, took the maids and ladies to say goodbye and left.
Because Song Wanru was setting the rules for the old lady, the eldest maid Xia Chan came down first and made clothes for the old lady in the wing. When she heard the voices of the little maids outside, she knew that it was Mother Lu who was back. She was very surprised that she had promised to come back after the Dragon Boat Festival, but why suddenly So, he hurriedly put down his work and came to the main room.
Seeing her younger sister Xiaochan standing in the corridor with a baggage, she asked in a low voice the reason for Mother Lu's sudden return. She roughly understood something in her heart. After taking the baggage, the little girl opened the curtain for her and entered the hall. As soon as she entered the door, she saluted and congratulated her. Old Madam, "Congratulations, Old Madam. Mother Lu is in good health, and you can feel relieved."
He turned around and said to Mother Lu Fuli: "Mom is fine, so is mom. We agreed to come back after the festival, but why did Fan Xing's little hoof come here suddenly after just a few words?"
Mother Lu sighed and said sadly: "I heard that Miss had a cough, and I was anxious for a while. I had been thinking about my health for a while. It was only a few days before the festival, so I took it upon myself to see Miss."
Xia Chan smiled without saying anything, put the bundle on the table, and said to the old lady: "Old lady, come and take a look. The clothes Mother Lu made for you. You have always looked down on the slave's craftsmanship. Let's take a look at Mother." How is your craftsmanship better than that of a slave?"
Mother Lu helped the old lady sit down at the table and showed her one by one, "Xia Chan, don't be jealous of me, old slave. I have been serving the young lady all my life. The young lady's clothes have always been made by me. You Look, here on the shoulders, the lady likes to be a little thinner, the collar should be half an inch higher, and the waist should be looser."
Xia Chan looked at it carefully and said in surprise: "Oh, it's really like this! Now I'm done. Mom is back. There is no place for me to be courteous in front of the old lady. Mom, please take pity on me and teach me well!"
Mother Lu pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll teach you, I'll teach you everything."
The old lady touched her clothes with a smile, feeling sorry for Gui Ju who was still thinking about her even though she was ill, "Yes, teach everything to Xia Chan. You can enjoy yourself in the future and just chat with me. Our brother is the future head of the family. In a few days, When he comes back for the holidays, I will tell him that you will leave all your pension matters to him and treat you the same way I treat you."
When the old lady mentioned Gu Jingzhi, Gui Ju felt guilty for no reason, and asked cautiously: "Miss, I heard that the second master has become the prince, what happened in his room..." After gritting his teeth and stamping his feet, he decided to speak out, "His room Is the girl Caiwei here still a concubine?"
The old lady put down her clothes and nodded with satisfaction: "Caiwei is good, and..." Xia Chan reminded: "It used to be called Muxiang, but now it's called Jinling!" The old lady smiled, and then said: "Caiwei and Jinling I am very attentive to serving my brother, and I am very happy. I think there will be good news next year, hahaha!"
Mother Lu said tentatively: "The golden bell can make the prince happy, but Caiwei can't, right?"
The old lady knew that Caiwei was more favored by her second grandson than Jinling. When she came to live in Zhuangzi, she always took Caiwei with her. She didn’t understand why Guiju said this and asked doubtfully: "Guiju, how could you say that? Do you know What?"
Mother Lu glanced at Xia Chan, slowly knelt on the ground, took the old lady's hand and said, "Miss, Gui Ju is guilty, Gui Ju can't forgive you!"
The old lady didn't know why she pulled her up, and said displeasedly: "Get up quickly, you have old arms and legs, and you always kneel down to do anything. We haven't seen each other for half a year, what can you do to me?"
Mother Lu couldn't get up, so she suppressed her blush and whispered: "It happened half a year ago..."
The old lady was anxious, "Please tell me what is going on!"
Mother Lu said slowly: "Miss Caiwei is too young to be a concubine." Gui Ju said this at the wedding banquet, and mentioned it again today. The old lady realized something was wrong and asked: "You said Caiwei is too young because she is young?"
Mother Lu nodded, and the old lady asked: "She is young, how old is she?"
"I was eight years old when I bought the house last year, and I'm only nine years old this year!"
The old lady was shocked and said anxiously: "Only nine years old, really nine years old?" Seeing Gui Ju nodding with absolute certainty, she tilted her head back and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.
