Chapter 27 Two old ladies

As expected, the old lady frowned, twirled the rosary in her hand, and said, "Did you admit the wrong person?"

Zhao Yuan lied, her expression unchanged and her heart not beating: "Of course not. Although we had to send her away from the capital as a last resort, the Marquis and I went back to our hometown to pay homage to our ancestors, and we secretly visited her several times."

The old lady's expression softened a little and she said, "So, what did you want to say when you came over?"

Zhao Yuan showed sincerity, and her expression was even more sincere: "Mom, my hometown is in the North. She followed my aunt, and Ning'er has suffered a lot in these years. My aunt has passed away. Now that she has returned to Beijing, what should she do? She has to come back, and she should be given the treatment she deserves in the Marquis' Mansion. She can't be the daughter of the Marquis. Yun'er is well-dressed and well-fed, and is praised by everyone in the circle of ladies in the capital, but she has to make her own way out, right? "

The old lady looked at her and said, "Well, so what?"

Zhao Yuan scolded the old fox in her heart, but the expression on her face became more sincere: "The Marquis and I have sent people to search, but if we can't find anyone, she doesn't want to see us yet. Her mother loved her back then, so she must still have memories. , she hates us, but she won’t hate mother!”

"So you want me to come forward?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "There is no distinction between you and me in the family! Of course, if you, mother, have to worry about the affairs of the younger generation, this is the unfilial piety of the son and daughter-in-law! If mother doesn't want to, just pretend that I haven't been here today!"

After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, she said goodbye and left.

It wasn't until she walked out of Fushou Hall that her personal maid, Qing Hong, whispered, "Madam, today is a day in vain!"

The corners of Zhao Yuan's mouth raised, "Come for nothing?"how could be?

However, she didn't want to talk to an ignorant maid.

Over there, the old lady said to Nanny Qin: "Yao Qin, ask Chang Ning to ask about it!"

Nanny Qin's son Cui Changning helps the old lady with external affairs.

Nanny Qin said: "I will order you to go down now!"

The old lady closed her eyes and gently twisted her rosary beads, but suddenly sighed.

Aunt Yu said: "Old madam, since the war in the north three years ago and the news there was lost, now there is news!"

Nanny Qin also said: "Over the years, you have been asking Changning to send people to send money there for charity. The young lady will definitely know how well you treat her!"

"I am not her biological grandmother!" the old lady said softly, "She has been with her biological grandmother all these years, and she must have forgotten about my old bones!"

There are two old ladies in the Anyuan Hou Mansion.

At that time, the old Marquis had already married his first wife, who is now the old lady. The couple were harmonious and respected each other as guests. However, after three years of marriage, the old lady had never given birth.

The old lady was virtuous and advised the old prince to take a concubine, but the old prince did not agree and just said to let nature take its course.

In that year, the old Marquis met a woman who fell into the water when he was out, and he rescued her.

The woman was the daughter of an official who was sent abroad. When something like this happened, her husband's family, who had originally arranged to get married, broke off the engagement on the grounds that she had lost her reputation and had physical intimacy with another man.

The old Marquis had no choice but to take on this responsibility and bring her in.

This aunt came in and gave birth to Chu Baikui a year later.

The next year, the old lady also gave birth to a son.

Everyone in the house is very happy.

Later, the legitimate son had an accident and died young.The old lady was so grief-stricken that she could no longer be pregnant. The old man asked the old lady to name Chu Baikui as his legitimate son.

In order to show his closeness to his aunt, Chu Baikui has always been more affectionate to the old lady.

After the death of the old marquis, this aunt helped the spirit return to his hometown, and she has been living in the countryside. Chu Baikui rarely visited her.Later, Chu Baikui sent Chu Nanning there, which was probably the only bond between mother and son.

They had neither good feelings nor bad feelings about this old aunt, and besides, she died three years ago.Nanny Qin said with a smile: "The children born to Miss Ding are definitely not stupid!"

Aunt Yu smiled and said: "No, the young lady has been close to the old lady since she was a child!"

The old lady said no more, her eyes gradually became distant.

Xiao Anshu of the Ding family, it has been more than ten years since that child left. It has been so long that when I mention this person, I feel a little strange.

In the past few days, word of what Chu Yunzhao had done had spread, and several families who wanted to propose marriage quietly backed out.

She didn't dare to go out, and she hated Chu Nanning even more. She cried several times in front of Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan naturally comforted her with good words.

Xia Chixiao's side was quiet. Except for Qi's inquiry, the matter was over.

In the early morning, Xia Chixiao was practicing his sword.

A nimble figure moved around in the morning light, drawing a sword sharply, making a sound of chirping wind.

Shen Xia came over excitedly, took the flying pigeon to pass the message, and said to Xia Chixiao: "General, Luo Xiao has sent back the news."

Xia Chixiao's mind moved, sheathed her sword, walked over and took Fei Ge's letter in her hand, and carefully pulled out the letter from the small bamboo tube.

A small piece of paper that read: "Entering Beijing on the [-]th!"

Xia Chixiao's heart relaxed greatly.

In ten days, his grandmother will go to Beijing, along with his wife, whom he has never met.

A little excitement surged in his heart, and he immediately ordered: "Prepare water to wash up!" Then he said: "Huo Ci, prepare the car!"

A quarter of an hour later, Xia Chixiao appeared on the street.

News came back yesterday from the house that Ya Xing had been looking for. He originally wanted to visit it in the next two days, but his grandmother and the others were going to Beijing in ten days, and he couldn't delay any longer.

It’s better to make a decision early to see if it’s suitable. After buying it, you’ll have to check if there’s anything you need to add, so don’t hurry up?
The manager of the dental shop personally accompanied Xia Chixiao and introduced the situation of the house.

After looking at three houses, he chose the three-entry courtyard in Shengyifang with a small garden.It was a quiet place amidst the bustle. The house was still [-]% new, with rockeries, flowing water, winding paths and corridors, and an exquisite layout. You could live in it almost as soon as you moved in.

Although my grandmother lived in the General's Mansion in the North, the General's Mansion in the North really couldn't be compared with the capital.They are rough and simple. Now that they can be brought here, they naturally have to arrange better accommodation.

As for food and clothing, he has money, a lot of money.In addition, although the shop he bought before had only opened not long ago, the shopkeeper was his own, he was smart and capable, and now the shop is already making money.

He can make them live well.

Looking at Xia Chixiao who was overjoyed, Huo Ci was a little worried: "General, the Marquis and Madam have always been unhappy with the young lady's matter. Are you going to do something?"

Xia Chixiao frowned slightly. Reporting on this matter was necessary, but he could guess the attitude of his father and mother.

But she was his Xia Chixiao Mingming matchmaker's newly married wife, and he would earn everything she deserved for her!

He won't let her suffer!
In just one day, the bank deposit and deed were recorded in the official register, and everything was completed.

However, Xia Chixiao felt that some areas needed some repairs.

Grandma likes to be quiet, so she lives in the innermost main house. The place where you enter on the right is sunny, and there is a garden outside. When the time comes, a swing frame will be added under the flower tree.

She...must like it, right?
