Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 754 Rose Flower

Chen Jing'er held Sister Zhen's hand and walked with the old lady.

Sister Zhen changed her timid attitude just now and became cheerful.

Pointing at Xiao Fuyuan's skirt, she said to Chen Jing'er: "Aunt Jing'er, my cousin's skirt is so beautiful. Can you sew it?"

In order to please Sister Zhen, Chen Jing'er knew she didn't know how to do it, but she still smiled and said: "Yes, I will sew one for Sister Zhen tomorrow."

Sister Zhen clapped her hands and smiled: "Great!"

After saying that, he smiled at Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan found that the old lady's eyes when she looked at Chen Jing'er and Sister Zhen were indescribably meaningful.

Tong, who was leading the way for Princess Yun'an, Xiao Fuyuan and others, looked pleased when she saw her daughter's lively and cute look.

She was grateful to Chen Jing'er.

Normally, the old lady always said that Sister Zhen was too timid and always treated her indifferently.

She was busy with housework and socializing in the ladies' circle, so she didn't have much time to take her daughter to have fun with the old lady.

Sister Zhen herself doesn’t like to get close to the old lady.

But since Chen Jing'er and Sister Zhen became familiar with each other, Chen Jing'er often brought Sister Zhen around to flatter the old lady, and her gentleness and kindness made Sister Zhen no longer afraid of going to the old lady's room.

Over the past few days, the old lady's attitude towards Sister Zhen has changed.

If she can gain the love of the old prince of Zhenguo Palace, Sister Zhen's path will be wider in the future. It is easier to discuss marriage when you are older, and you will feel more confident when talking to your natal family when you get married.

The only thing that worries Tong now is that she has no son, and there is no news about Zhen Ruocheng's two concubines.

"arrive."

Rows of banquets were placed in the waterside pavilion.

"Mom, is this the rose stand that dad mentioned?"

Xiao Fuyuan listened to the white wooden board telling her about her experience of coming to Zhen Mansion to catch the autumn breeze when she was a child. Her father said that the waterside pavilion in Huayuanzi had rows of beautiful rose flower trellises, and the roses were as bright as clouds when they were in full bloom.

It was here that Mrs. Zhen's wife invited the old grandmother of the Bai family to have a drink here. Bai Banban took advantage of the old grandmother's drunkenness and ran to catch crickets. She got lost in the rose flower stand and couldn't turn around for a long time and cried anxiously.

He was met by Zhen who was going to catch butterflies on the rose stand. Zhen took him out and the two of them sat under the rose stand eating sweets.

Every time the white board reminds the children of the short time they met Zhen in the Zhen Mansion, their faces are filled with intoxication.

Although Mrs. Zhen said it was an old story and not worth mentioning, Xiao Fuyuan knew that I miss Zhen's house all the time.

"It's right here." Zhen said with a smile.

"The anti-itch rose flower saltpeter you asked Third Brother to make on a large scale was made from the rose flowers here." Mrs. Zhen touched Xiao Fuyuan's head and pointed to the lush rose flowers in front of her.

"Sister, these roses belong to you when you were a child. When the late emperor returned this garden to your brother, he thought that the roses were all dead. Unexpectedly, they came back to life in the spring the next day." Little Li continued. .

When Mrs. Zhen heard Mrs. Li mentioning Zhen Chen, her face turned pale.

Since she came to the capital, she has not seen this cousin.

"The best rose flowers in the capital are here. I remember that when I was a child, I came to the capital to visit relatives. When spring came, my face would itch. My grandmother would send people to your house to ask for rose saltpeter. Sister Fu's mother would ask Bao Yi every time. Bring me the big bag back." The roses in her eyes reminded the censor's wife.

Pain flashed in Zhen's eyes.

She missed her mother.

"Mom, you are home now. Grandma is watching from the sky." Xiao Fuyuan caught Madam Zhen's emotions and held Madam Zhen's hand tightly.

Mrs. Zhen lowered her head and looked into Xiao Fu's bright round eyes, filled with relief.

She has endured all the hardships. If her mother knew about it, she would be happy.

But she felt it wasn't enough.

The suffering that was man-made on her has not yet been repaid.

"Aunt, please come this way."

Tong led Zhen and others to the most open area of ​​Shuixie Pavilion. Everyone sat down one after another.

Xiao Li sat next to Zhen.

"Sister Qi." Mrs. Zhen called out to Mrs. Li. She was not willing to call Mrs. Li her cousin-in-law. She was already separated from Zhen Chen in her heart.

"Sister, what can I tell you?" Little Li said.

Zhen was initially reluctant to say it, but after thinking about it she asked, "What does Lao Shizi want to do if the old lady wants that girl Xuan'er to learn to sing and dance? Do you want to give her to someone else as a continuation or as a concubine?"

Zhen asked very straightforwardly.

Little Li lowered her head, raised her head and smiled helplessly, and said: "Sister, I don't know if you would believe it if I told you. To be honest, the old lady has hidden many things from me. I only know The second sister often comes to the old lady’s place, and Xuan’er’s child even lives at the old lady’s place.”

Zhen naturally believed what Xiao Li said.

She has already seen that the old lady does not like little Li, even though they are not only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also aunt.

While he was talking, a housekeeper came over and whispered a few words to Mr. Li.

Little Li looked surprised and said, "Arrived so soon?"

The housekeeper's wife said: "I said that when I arrived outside the city, I punished my wife and the young man first and came to the house to say hello."

Little Li nodded.

"Sister, please excuse me. Sister Wan is coming to the capital with her family, and I have to make arrangements." Little Li apologized to Mrs. Zhen.

"Mei Wan?" Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

"That's my cousin. You met her when you were a child. She was younger than you at that time." Xiao Li laughed and said, "What a coincidence, she is also from Huaicheng. She married in Huaicheng One of the sons of the Shen family is not in good health, and he brought his son to the capital to seek medical advice."

"I have heard of the Shen family in Huaicheng." Mrs. Zhen remained calm.

When Xiao Li mentioned the Shen family, the Bai family members looked at each other.

Wasn't it the Shen family who originally wanted to take advantage of Xiao Fuyuan, so the short-lived son is still alive?

Mrs. Zhen was also surprised that Mrs. Ru was the niece of the old lady.

It was normal for her not to recognize Mrs. Ru in Huaicheng at that time. After all, they had met several times when they were very young.

"The wealthy businessman in Huaicheng, the head of the family passed away many years ago. Speaking of which, the child is pitiful. He is about the same age as Princess Furong. His body is weak since he was born. He has never been out at this age."

"I have to go take a look and find out where the child lives."

Little Mrs. Li stood up and asked Mrs. Tong to take care of her. She would come as soon as she made arrangements.

After Mrs. Li left, Mrs. Tong was called over by the old lady.

The Bai family discussed in low voices.

"Mrs. Ru and the old lady are actually aunt and nephew?" Xie Chuntao said.

It's really a narrow road.

Back then, Mrs. Ru asked the wife of the former magistrate of Huaicheng to put pressure on the Bai family and use the small lucky yuan to celebrate the short-lived son. This was something the Bai family would never forget.

Although the former prefect fell, Mrs. Ru escaped from her shell.

I think it depends on the power of the Imperial Palace in Jingcheng and the Fan family.

"We are not afraid of her now."

Mrs. Zhen touched Xiao Fuyuan's little head.

"Yes, we were not afraid before, and we are even less afraid now." Old Mrs. Bai said.

Mrs. Zhen frowned in thought. She felt that she should tell Xiao Fuyuan's biological mother Cheng Mei about this.

But where is Cheng Mei?

Since the last time someone sent Xiao Fuyuan several boxes of crops from Southeast Asia, there has been no news.
