"Mom, that lady is elegant in manners and noble in appearance. She doesn't look like she comes from an ordinary family. She is definitely a lady from a wealthy family in the capital. You will know when you meet her. She is definitely not her son. I am attracted by her! I just admire her. That’s all, absolutely no other thoughts!
Mom, you have nothing to do tomorrow anyway, and you haven’t gone out for fun this year. Wouldn’t it be nice to take your sister to the cherry blossom forest this time? "
Hu Yunzhi took his mother's hand and begged, "You are such a big man, but you are still acting like a child with your mother."
Fortunately, Mother Hu did not dislike her son, but she knew what kind of character his son was. Therefore, when she heard him trick her into going to the cherry blossom forest, Mother Hu keenly sensed what the boy was up to, and asked Just asked what happened.
"Which lady from a wealthy family in the capital would come to Jiangnan for no reason? Which of them doesn't have to take care of the house and manage a large family? How could they leave their husbands and children and run out to play on their own? Don't be deceived. "Mother Hu said with eyes wide open.
"Oh, why is it impossible? Maybe there are elders and sisters-in-law at home, and it's not her turn to manage the housework? Aren't husbands and children servants to take care of them?" Hu Yunzhi said nonchalantly, "That Mrs. Luo is a free and easy person. , how can you be like those women with narrow vision and be willing to be trapped in a three-quarter acre of land in the back house?"
Mother Hu suddenly became angry and cursed: "Then you are saying that your mother and I are a woman with narrow vision?"
Hu Yunzhi was dumbfounded by his mother's scolding. Only then did he realize that his words had also disgusted his mother, and he quickly apologized: "Where is it? Mother, why do you compare yourself with those vulgar women? You were But you are a heroine who can fight at the border with my father! No one can be narrow-minded and you cannot be narrow-minded!"
Hu Yunzhi said many more good things, and Mother Hu curled her lips and said, "Okay, okay, stop playing monkey with me. I promise you. I want to see if that lady is really like you said." So extraordinary.”
"Thank you, mother! I will not be disappointed. That lady must be able to talk to me." Hu Yunzhi said happily.
Early the next morning, Xu Shichu met Hu Yunzhi and the others at the gate of the city on time. After a brief greeting, the family went directly to the Buddha's Holy Mountain.
"Mom, how are you? Let me just say that Mrs. Luo is not an ordinary person." Hu Yunzhi said proudly.
Mother Hu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the magnificent carriage in front of her and the imposing guards on both sides of the carriage. She was filled with wonder. When she heard her son's words, she immediately glared at him:
"You haven't found out which family that Mrs. Luo belongs to? I don't think her carriage and bodyguards are like those owned by an ordinary official family.
Although we have not been in the capital these years, when your father returned to Beijing to report on his work, I also met many wives from wealthy families. Now I have no impression of Mrs. Luo... Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case..."
Hu's mother was really confused. Her husband's family was also from the capital, but her husband was an official in other places and rarely returned to the capital. However, she knew all the famous nobles in the capital, but she just didn't think about it at the moment. Xu Shichu's identity emerged.
"Mom, you and my father only go back to Beijing once every few years, and you can't stay for long at a time. Isn't it normal to have a wife you don't know? Besides, Mrs. Luo is young and not in the same age group as you. "Isn't it normal that you have no impression?" Hu Yunzhi said with a bang.
"Shut up! Do you think your mother and I are too old?" Mother Hu glared at him fiercely.
Seeing that he had stepped on my mother's painful foot again, Hu Yunzhi finally shut up.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at Fosheng Mountain. When Xu Shichu got off the carriage, he saw that the hillside in front was covered with pink cherry blossom forests, all over the mountains and fields. At a glance, the layers were like pink clouds on the ground, gorgeous and colorful, and the petals were flying from there. When the branches fall, they must turn the soil into powder, and dye the tourists' blue hairs into white hairs.
"Wow -" Even though he had seen the flowers in full bloom in Xu Shichu's garden, Du Zhao couldn't help but marvel when he saw such a spectacular scenery, his eyes widened, "Auntie, there are so many flowers, so beautiful. Beautiful."
"Let me just say that this cherry blossom forest is beautiful, right?" Hu Yunzhi said coquettishly, and showed off when he came closer, "Look at how many people come here to enjoy the scenery! It's earlier than us."
"It is indeed a grand scene." Xu Shichu took Xiao Zhaozhao's hand and walked towards the cherry blossom forest.
"Is this Mrs. Luo's first time coming to Wen'an Mansion?" Mother Hu asked next to her.
"Yes, but I have been admiring Jiangnan for a long time." Xu Shichu said with a smile.
Hu's mother also wanted to inquire about Xu Shichu's background, but Xu Shichu quickly found an excuse to separate from them and go to enjoy the scenery alone. She asked Hu Yunzhi and the others to bring the female family members here just to avoid suspicion, but not to socialize.
"Why is this person so rude? He left us alone and left!" Mr. Wen's mother looked at Xu Shichu's leaving figure and said to Hu's mother dissatisfied.
"They are not familiar with us. Isn't it normal to enjoy the scenery separately?" Mother Hu did not think Xu Shichu was arrogant or rude.
"But we are all well-known figures in Wen'an Mansion. She is from the capital and we don't know what kind of lady she is. How dare she not give us face like this... I don't think she is a serious lady, but someone from some family." Outer room, right? Look at her vixen-like appearance, she doesn’t feel comfortable in the house!" Another lady said disdainfully. She herself was not good-looking, and she hated beautiful women the most. Now that she saw Xu Shichu, she became even more jealous. I got jealous and started talking nonsense.
Mother Hu saw them talking more and more outrageously, and quickly scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! The guards around her are not ordinary. Don't make random guesses."
Xu Shichu took Xiao Zhaozhao and a group of maids to protect him and walked far away. Mother Hu looked at Xu Shichu's back, and suddenly her eyes widened suddenly. She called out to her son who was running away, and her breathing became rapid: "You, you call her Mrs. Luo...her husband’s surname is Luo?”
Hu's mother stared at Hu Yunzhi nervously, holding her breath while waiting for his answer. Seeing her solemn expression, others also became nervous.
Hu Yunzhi was confused and said, "Yes, she said her husband's surname is Luo and he is an official in the capital."
Mother Hu continued to ask: "The one she brought is her nephew. She doesn't have any children herself, does she?"
Hu Yunzhi replied inexplicably: "Yes, if she has children, can she come without her own children?"
"That's right! She must be from the Luo family!" Mother Hu let go of her son's hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Which Luo family?" Hu Yunzhi asked doubtfully.
"Which Luo family is there? The most famous Luo family in the capital!" Mother Hu glared at him.
