Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 338

The queen mother shed tears.

Nanny Chang handed over the handkerchief, and couldn't help but get red-eyed.

Nanny Chang knew that this niece was the one that the Empress Dowager couldn't let go of the most, after so many years of searching secretly, she finally got the news, but she didn't want to go to the palace to meet her.

Although Feng Rui had already returned to Beijing to report her situation to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother still wanted to hear the details about her niece from Mrs. Zhou.

Even if it's just some trivial daily life.

"I heard that Fu'er has been suffering for many years?" The queen mother suddenly asked.

Mrs. Zhou didn't know how to answer. Although the life of the old Bai family she saw was not as good as that of a wealthy family, they did not have to worry about food and clothing.

The Empress Dowager's understanding of the past situation of Lao Bai's family is obviously much better than that of Zhou's.

"Life in the countryside is always harder..." Mrs. Zhou replied after considering, "During the days when I lived in Shenshu Village, I also heard that Sister Zhen's life was not very good in the past, and Sister Zhen went to Huaicheng I have worked. But since the birth of my daughter, life has become better and better, which shows that Sister Zhen is a person with good fortune."

Aside from the days when they couldn't eat well in the past, Mrs. Zhou is quite envious of Mrs. Zhen now. Although she is not very rich, she has food and drink, land and shops, and more importantly, she has children and daughters, so she can live in the countryside with peace of mind. little days.

It's not like they are in the capital, worrying about family affairs, but also worrying about outside affairs, they can't live in peace for a moment.

Mrs. Zhou understood very well why Mrs. Zhen was unwilling to come to the capital, and even the queen mother and aunt were unwilling to recognize each other.

Once the royal family gets involved, they can't help themselves.

Isn't it true that her family can't even make decisions about her daughter's marriage.

"How is her family treating her well, how is her mother-in-law? Are her son and daughter-in-law being filial to her?" the Queen Mother asked after she calmed down.

The queen mother has already asked this question, and asked again.

"Being filial. The eldest is farming at home, and he planted the seeds of our current Yan millet. The eldest daughter-in-law is also very filial... The second child is a scholar who works as a teacher in a private school, the third child has just married, and the fourth child is in high school. The top scholar is now studying in my father's academy...my mother-in-law is a very straightforward person, she is very kind to sister Zhen, but she is a bit sharp-tongued." Zhou didn't feel annoyed, and repeated the situation of each member of the Bai family, she knew The queen mother couldn't see Zhen Shi, so she could only see Zhen Shi's life from the details of life over and over again.

Hearing Mrs. Zhou say that Mrs. Bai has a sharp mouth, the queen mother rarely smiled, and sighed: "How can a poor mouth support a family. I have met her mother-in-law. She was a young daughter-in-law when she came to Zhen's house. It’s cool. If it weren’t for this family, I’m afraid Fuer wouldn’t know where she is now.”

"The emperor appointed her daughter as the head of the village. I heard that her daughter is a blessed person?" asked the Queen Mother.

At that time, when the emperor named Xiao Fuyuan the township owner, because he discovered iron mines and solved the problem of high-quality iron for weapons, Feng Rui found out that Xiao Fuyuan turned out to be the daughter of Zhen's family when he found the Zhen family.

Speaking of Xiao Fuyuan, Zhou's face was full of smiles, and he was not restrained, and said to the queen mother in a chattery manner: "...You don't know, queen mother, sister Zhen's daughter is very beautiful. I didn't say it. In our full You can't find such a beautiful girl in Beijing. Her luck is really not made up. Ever since she was born, everything has been going well in the Bai family. She went up the mountain and plucked the seeds of Yan millet.....The words are still alive, look at the Queen Mother..."

The more Mrs. Zhou talked, the more excited she became, and when she found that the queen mother was expressionless, she suddenly stopped talking, feeling that she was too noisy.

The Empress Dowager listened intently and was listening with great enthusiasm, but Zhou suddenly stopped, and couldn't help being stunned.

"Ma'am, how do you talk? The queen mother is fascinated by it." The nurse Chang at the side motioned for Mrs. Zhou to continue talking, and she also listened with gusto.

"It is said that she said that whatever works can be done, and what she said can't be done can't be done. She said that the village went up to the mountains to fight tigers. Before leaving, she said that everyone in Shenshu Village would be fine, but the man-eating mother worm did not." Hurt the villagers... I didn't believe it at first, but she said that I could conceive, and I became pregnant two months after I left the Bai family. You know, Queen Mother, that my stomach has not moved for so many years after giving birth to Ah Heng. The doctor didn't see him well, I didn't expect that I would get pregnant with just a word from Xiao Yuanbao..."

What Zhou said was vivid, and the Queen Mother listened with fascination.

"There really is such a clever girl." The Queen Mother murmured to herself.

"Really." Zhou said with a final word.

The queen mother said that she wished to see Xiao Fuyuan immediately.

The Queen Mother asked Zhou Shi about Zhen Shi again, some questions were asked several times, but she was still not bothered.

From the afternoon to the time when the lanterns are held.

"Queen, it's getting late, it's time for you to eat."

In the end, Nanny Chang reminded her that the Queen Mother reluctantly ended the conversation with Mrs. Zhou.

"...When it comes to Fuer, I forget the time, and I forget that you are pregnant. Ah Shu, give the East China Sea's tribute Dongzhu to Mrs. Feng as an apology."

The queen mother ordered Nanny Chang to take a big dongzhu and give it to Mrs Zhou, and Mrs Zhou quickly thanked her for catching it.

"One more thing." Zhou thought it was over, but the Queen Mother started a new topic, "I heard that Ah Heng looks down on my grandson."

Zhou almost broke out in a cold sweat.

"The Queen Mother... Ah Heng is still young, she..."

"You don't need to explain, I understand everything. Your father handed me the booklet, and I couldn't bear to embarrass him... It was because I didn't think carefully before that I forcibly broke up your family relationship and let her enter the palace. I will discuss this matter later. .” The Empress Dowager waved her hand, with a weary look on her face.

Zhou's heart was both happy and surprised.

The joy is that the queen mother has made concessions to Ah Heng's marriage, but the surprise is that the queen mother has not formally issued a decree to abolish it.

Finally, the Empress Dowager ordered Nanny Chang to send Mrs. Zhou home.

"Queen Mother, you must be tired today, go to bed early."

It started to rain after dinner, and Nanny Chang saw that the Empress Dowager looked sad and happy for a while, worried that the big emotional ups and downs would hurt her body, so she hoped that the Empress Dowager would rest early.

"Today I heard that Fu'er is doing well, and I'm very happy, but I don't know when I'll see her again. But when I think about how she didn't even have enough to eat in the past, and she had to go to Huaicheng to do embroidery, my heart hurts." It's hard." The queen mother sighed and said, "It's a coincidence that things in this world happen, Ah Zhen and Fu'er became neighbors."

"Who says it's not?" said Nanny Chang, "Just now, I heard Mrs. Feng mentioned that the little lady and the eldest prince of the eldest lady's family often play together."

The Queen Mother's heart moved slightly.

"By the way, Empress Dowager, the old lady of Zhen Guogong's Mansion has written another booklet and wants to come in to greet you." At this moment, Nanny Chang suddenly remembered the booklet that Mrs. Li handed in. At that time, the Queen Mother was chatting with Mrs. Zhou about her niece. At night, she I just remembered to mention this to the Queen Mother.

"I've been very tired recently, and I don't want to see people." The queen mother turned cold.

Nanny Chang dared not make a sound.

"Ashu, the old Hou said that Afu was sold to Yangzhou back then, and I always feel that it has something to do with my sister-in-law." The queen mother mentioned the past.

Nanny Chang did not dare to say such uncertain things, so she could only say cautiously: "Back then at home, the Eldest Furen did have a prejudice against the Second Furen, but no matter what, she would never lay a poisonous hand on a little girl."

The Queen Mother sneered and said, "Don't comfort me either, my sister-in-law looks honest but insidious."

Nanny Chang remained silent.

It's also difficult for the Queen Mother, the Duke of Zhen is still her natal family in name, and there are undercurrents in the court, and the Duke of Zhen's mansion cannot be easily moved just because of the young lady.
