After Ruan finished speaking, she stared at Geng Xingshuang, "Now you can tell me why you asked about Xiaozao Village."
Geng Xingshuang had no intention of hiding it from the Ruan family. This was a big deal. Looking at what Geng Xingbing had done recently, her long-term plans might not affect their family.
Many things still require the elders to come forward.
Geng Xingshuang told Ruan everything about what she had discovered during this period and what she had said to Zhu Yan in Mingshang Pavilion today.
Ruan was shocked.
After a while, she regained her composure and said, "I remember your third aunt said before that Brother Lou and Sister Bing would both grow up and be prettier than their parents, but Brother Lou At least he's a bit like your second uncle, but Sister Bing is all about her own efforts and doesn't look like her parents at all, but she's very good-looking, and your third aunt is a little jealous!"
"Mom, do you think Mother Tan used this incident to threaten Fourth Sister? Otherwise, why would Fourth Sister protect Geng Xingshui?"
Geng Xingshuang figured out many things in an instant. She suddenly said: "Mom, do you know where Mother Tan is now?"
"I heard it was at your second aunt's dowry village, but I don't know where it is specifically." Ruan said.
"Mother Tan... I don't know if she is still here or not?" Geng Xingshuang murmured.
Mrs. Ruan sighed, these are the affairs of the second wife, and with the current relationship between their family and the second wife, it is not easy to take the initiative to inquire about these matters.
Two days later, Zhu Yan came for a visit. She learned from Princess Shanning that Mr. Zhu and his wife left the house in panic on the afternoon of September 12th. According to the war situation and distance at that time, the Geng family The sound of horse hooves heard in the early morning of September 13th was probably probably Mr. Zhu Er and his party.
"It's just that my mother doesn't know which household in Xiaozao Village the second uncle and second aunt stayed at back then, but I think since Master Xiaoyu's family is the first family in the village, and Master Xiaoyu's mother has just given birth, Based on these two points, we can conclude that it was Master Xiaoyu's house where my second uncle and two aunts stayed, Sister Shuang, actually I went to ask Master Xiaoyu."
Zhu Yan's words made Geng Xingshuang slightly surprised, and then he calmed down. Tao Yuyu already knew this.
"She was just born at that time, so she probably didn't know how many groups of people came to the family."
Zhu Yan nodded, "She doesn't know, so I suggested that she go back and ask her parents."
Meeting Geng Xingshuang's expectant gaze, Zhu Yan shook her head and sighed, "Xiaoyu said that back then her father was sent to do hard labor, and there were only her grandmother and her mother in the family. Her grandmother has passed away, and her mother is now She is seriously ill, and if she asks these things and her mother notices, it may make her condition worse, so we can't get the details from the Tao family for the time being."
Next, Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan were very busy for a few days because they were busy selling clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival in Mingshang Pavilion, so they put the matter aside for the time being.
After all, no matter how curious they are, in the final analysis, this matter has no conflict with their vital interests.
Time passes quickly, and the fragrance of osmanthus in the streets and alleys becomes more and more intense, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.
Geng Shuhuai came back the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and naturally he was with Yang Qingmo.
However, Yang Qingmo returned directly to Yang Mansion.
Geng Shulou returned home only one hour later than Geng Shuhuai. He forgot to mention that because Geng Cheng was injured, Geng Shulou did not plan to go to Lizai Academy anymore and only studied at home while attending to his illness.
But after Geng Shuhuai and Yang Qingmo went to Licai Academy, he followed them back to the academy. It was not because he wanted to do this, but because Geng Xun requested it.
On the night of the 14th, when the family was having dinner, Liang Ben came.
Liang Ben is the most capable person around Geng Xun. He usually only stays by Geng Xun's side at all times. In the past, he only temporarily guarded Geng Cheng when he returned home late, and was rarely sent out by Geng Xun to deliver messages.
This shows how seriously Geng Xun attached importance to this message.
"Uncle Liang, is there any order from father?"
Geng Wen quickly stood up and asked.
Mrs. Ruan naturally stood up with her children.
"Back to the eldest master, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, the second young master also returns home. The uncle means that the whole family will have a reunion banquet together in the evening. He asked the kitchen to prepare it early this morning. I bought a lot of meat, eggs and vegetables, and also bought two large baskets of crabs and mooncakes, so I asked the old slave to come and tell me that I will go to Yideyuan tomorrow evening to eat crabs and admire the moon."
Geng Shuhuai's face suddenly fell. Firstly, he didn't want to go to a reunion banquet. Where was the reunion? Secondly, he had already made an appointment with Yang Qingmo and several classmates from the academy to watch the lanterns together tomorrow. , he also promised Yang Qingmo that he would bring Sister Shuang with him, and he had thought about it in his mind, so that Sister Shuang wouldn't feel uncomfortable as a girl, he would definitely be happy to call the seventh sister as well.
Now that this has happened, all plans are ruined.
Liang Ben seemed to see what Geng Shuhuai was thinking, and the corners of his mouth that had always been turned down slightly straightened slightly, as if showing a smile.
"My uncle also said that young people probably have activities at night. He is not an old-fashioned person. He has always done it since he was watching the moon and lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He didn't stop him. After dinner, the grandchildren wanted to You can do whatever you want, you can go out if you want, as long as the eldest, second, and third master stay and watch the moon with him."
As soon as Liang Ben said these words, Geng Shuhuai and Geng Xingshuang breathed a sigh of relief. It was Geng Wen's turn to be depressed.
But that's all Liang Ben said. What else could Geng Wen say, so he had to say "yes".
Liang Ben knew that this first stop was the best to talk to, and the next two rooms were the ones that needed his kindness and power.
However, when he went to Yinghe Courtyard, Geng Shulou happened to be there. After Liang Ben finished speaking, Yao was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking, while Geng Cheng's expression was distorted and his face was gloomy.
Although he sat up, his feet were dragging softly on the ground, and his right hand was hanging limply. Only his left hand was held tightly, with bald veins. He looked at Liang Ben with a cold and gloomy look, like It is a swamp filled with rotten mud.
If ordinary people were looked at by this kind of look, even if they were not frightened and ran away immediately, they would still be able to avoid it. However, Liang Ben's expression did not change at all. He looked at Geng Cheng calmly. When Geng Cheng did not speak for a long time, , and even urged as a reminder: "Second Master, I wonder what you mean..."
"Haha... the old man thought I was useless, so he started to recruit the other two losers..."
"Uncle Liang, please go back and tell my grandfather. Everyone in Yinghe Courtyard will arrive on time. They will definitely live up to my grandfather's good intentions!"
Liang Ben glanced at Geng Shulou and nodded, "Okay, young master, don't worry."
When Liang Ben turned around and went out, he heard the sound of breaking porcelain and angry curses coming from behind.
He sighed in his heart, both mother and son were the same.
A woman with a slight smile suddenly flashed in his mind. Her brows were gentle. Although she was not a stunning appearance, one could feel the tranquility of time passing through her brows.
Liang Ben raised his head and glanced at the nearly full moon under the sky, and let out a long sigh. This person has passed away, and it is useless to think about it!
