cabinet first lady

Chapter 75 I am here, the Zhang family is here
Fang Fang obviously didn't expect to see such a scene when he came back, and his tone was full of surprise: "Ma'am, this..."

Ruan Muyang shook his hand, and the opened curtain fell down again, covering his sight.

She never expected that Zhang's mansion would be like this when she came back.

She took a deep breath and opened the curtain of the carriage again.At this time, just as Mo Wen had already gone in to report, Zhang Anyi came out from the Zhang residence.

He already gave a filial piety, and his complexion didn't look as good as usual, and there was an understatement of sadness in the gentle brows, which made people feel distressed.He walked down the steps and personally helped Ruan Muyang Ruan Muyang off the carriage.Seeing that she was thinner than when she left, he said with deep pity in his tone, "Ma'am, you have suffered a lot along the way."

Holding his hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, Ruan Muyang's heart, which had been very strong and calm since leaving the capital, seemed to be scalded, and then quickly melted away, turning into a puddle of water.At first she cared a little bit, but when she saw Zhang Anyi wearing filial piety, she didn't want to care about anything anymore.

"Seven days ago, my grandfather suddenly became seriously ill and passed away yesterday." There was no obvious grief in Zhang Anyi's voice, but a kind of peace, "Grandfather passed away very peacefully."

But the whole Zhang family knew that Zhang Anyi was raised by Lao Shangshu since he was a child, and he was Lao Shangshu's favorite grandson. He was closer to Lao Shangshu than his parents.

When the old Shangshu passed away, besides the old lady, he was the one who was most saddened.

Hearing the words "grandfather walked very peacefully", Ruan Muyang thought of the majestic appearance of the old Shangshu back then, and remembered his concern for them, a deep sadness came from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help crying.She didn't have time to see Lao Shangshu for the last time.How happy the old Shangshu would be if he could see that she was pregnant.

Zhang Anyi stretched out his hand to embrace Ruan Muyang in his arms.The grudges and emotions that have arisen during this period of time are not worth mentioning because of the passing of the old Shangshu.Under the sadness, the bottom of my heart is to cherish the people in front of me even more.

"Madam, don't be too sad." Feeling Ruan Muyang's bulging belly, Zhang Anyi looked down, and said with complicated emotions in his voice, "Go and see grandma, grandma will be very happy to see you."

Ruan Muyang nodded, left Zhang Anyi's embrace, touched his tears, and followed Zhang Anyi into Zhang's mansion.

Seeing Ruan Muyang, the servants of Zhang's mansion showed surprise in their eyes, and then called out respectfully: "Second Young Madam." Many people in the mansion were rumoring that the Second Young Madam had offended the Second Master and was driven to the Zhuangzi.But seeing the second master personally welcome the second young lady in today, the rumors are self-defeating.

Seven days ago, Lao Shangshu's condition suddenly worsened, and the doctor came to see him and said that he had few days left.Zhang Ji and Zhang Fu recruited Zhang Anchao and his wife from Zhuangzi and Zhang Anyu and his wife from Qingtian County respectively.

When Lao Shangshu left, his son, grandson, and great-grandson, except for Ruan Muyang, all members of the Zhang family were guarding him.When the old Shangshu closed his eyes peacefully, everyone was distressed that the old man who had supported the Zhang family for decades was gone, and Zhang Anyi who was alone was the loneliest one.

Zhang Anyan, Zhang Anchao, and Zhang Anyu had different expressions when they saw Ruan Muyang come back.

Zhang Anyu and his wife were really happy to see Ruan Muyang come back.

"Second sister-in-law, you are finally back." Hu Yunxi looked at Ruan Muyang's protruding belly, and said with a faint smile on his face, "Come and see grandma with second brother, grandma will be very happy to see you of."

Zhang Anyi did not reveal to anyone where Ruan Muyang went, so Ruan Muyang's whereabouts are a mystery in everyone's mind.

Ruan Muyang didn't expect that when he saw the old lady again, the old lady would look like she could only breathe a sigh of relief.

"Grandmother, Mu Yang is back." Zhang Anyi called cautiously.

In the past few years, the old lady's health has not been as good as before, especially because she is worried about Lao Shangshu's illness, she is getting old very quickly.Lao Shangshu and Lao Madam are a young couple who have been together for more than 50 years. Together they have experienced the glorious moments of the old Shangshu official to the Ministry of Rites. They have also experienced the decline of their sons and after the old Shangshu became an official, no one in the Zhang family became an official for a long time. trough stage.The old Shangshu had never taken a concubine in his life, and he and the old lady supported each other.

The sudden departure of the old Shangshu was a great blow to the old lady.

The doctor came to see her, and said that the old lady was overly sad, and she was not in good health, so she might not be here for a few days, and now she is still hanging on her breath.

It's just that after leaving Zhang's mansion for three months, it turned out to be such a scene when he came back.Ruan Muyang's body seemed to be held tightly by someone, sadness, regret, annoyance, all emotions were mixed together.She couldn't help crying anymore, knelt down in front of the old lady's bed, and said, "Grandma, I'm back."

Hearing the sound, the old lady slowly opened her eyes.

"Mu Yang, it's Mu Yang who's back." The old lady's voice was very soft, but she could faintly hear that she was very happy.

The two elderly members of the Zhang family were very open-minded all their lives, and they were not as delirious as others when they were dying, and they could recognize everyone clearly.

Ruan Muyang couldn't bear to watch, tears fell even more: "Yes, grandma, I'm back."

"It's good to come back." The old lady raised her eyelids again, looked at Zhang Anyi and said, "You two children are the ones that my grandfather and I are most at ease with, but they are also the ones that are most worried about before we leave. Both of you are worried. Delicate, children who like to hide things in their hearts, this is good and bad. I hope you can be well."

Zhang Anyi's emotions surged in his eyes: "Yes, grandma. It was my fault earlier, so I made you worry."

Ruan Muyang cried and nodded.She held the old lady's hand and said, "Grandmother, I'm pregnant for four months, and you're going to have another grandson or granddaughter soon." She knew that she had been married to Zhang Anyi for many years and had never been pregnant. Although the old lady didn't say anything about the baby, she was worried and worried all the time.

The old lady's pale lips slowly curled into an arc, and a smile appeared in her slack eyes. It could be seen that she was extremely happy. "Okay, okay... I'm relieved that you are finally going to have a child."

Seeing the sincere smile of the old lady when she was dying, Ruan Muyang cried even harder.She regretted it very much, regretted the avoidance soup she drank back then, regretted her selfishness.

Zhang Anyi also had tears in his eyes.

"Grandmother, you have to take good care of your illness and watch the birth of your child. I want to call you an old ancestor." Ruan Muyang wiped away his tears with his empty hand, then stood up and sat down beside the bed, pulling the old lady withered She caressed her swollen belly with her hand, "Grandmother, look, it's been more than four months, and the baby will be born in five or six months."

The skinny hands touch the new life being conceived. As time goes by, babies will continue to be born, and some people will grow old and pass away uncontrollably.

"Your child will definitely be a good child. It's just that grandma can't wait." The old lady said the truth calmly, and then called out, "An Yi."

Zhang Anyi walked to the bed: "Grandmother."

"From now on, you have to treat Mu Yang well." The old lady took Ruan Muyang's hand and handed it to Zhang Anyi, saying, "You two children are the most sensible ones. After I leave, there will be no one in the Zhang family to control you." It's over, but this big family can't be separated. Although I know it's difficult and I'm making it difficult for you, but I will rely on you in the future, be more tolerant and bear some more."

Zhang Anyi held Ruan Muyang's hand, and at the same time held the old lady's hand, and said, "Don't worry, grandma, my grandson will definitely do it. I am here, and the Zhang family is here." The identity of the first assistant was making a promise to the old lady, and the tone was not so cadenced or impassioned, but the weight was extremely heavy.

I am here, and the Zhang family is here.

This is the promise of a man, the promise of a man like Zhang Anyi who does everything in silence and can even carry the whole country.

Moved by his solemnity, Ruan Muyang's heart became extremely firm amidst grief. "Don't worry, grandma." No matter how many winds and rains, no matter how many difficulties they will face, she will get through it with Zhang Anyi and support the Zhang family together.

"Okay..." The old lady smiled gratifiedly.

That night, the old lady also left.

There are many children and grandchildren, no regrets.

The old lady's favorite grandson was Zhang Anyu, and she doted on him extremely.Zhang Anyu was very close to the old lady, so she was extremely sad.

For two days in a row, the two elderly members of the Zhang family left.

Ruan Muyang was originally weak, but after a tiring journey, he was overly sad and passed out.

When she woke up in the middle of the night, Zhang Anyi was watching her by the bed.

"Madam awake?" Zhang Anyi stretched out his hand to gently caress Ruan Muyang's face, and held her hand in his other hand tenderly, like a treasure on the tip of his heart.

Ruan Muyang nodded.When she fainted, she didn't feel it at all, and she felt scared after thinking about it, and subconsciously looked at her stomach.

Zhang Anyi saw her caution and nervousness in his eyes, and the gentle eyes seemed to be able to wrap his whole body around him.The funeral of the two old people needs to be taken care of, and there is a night watch. Zhang Anyi's eyes are bloodshot, and his voice is hoarse than usual: "The doctor said it's okay, you need to take care of it."

Ruan Muyang heaved a sigh of relief.Thinking of the old Shangshu and the old lady, and the way the old lady looked at her belly with a smile on her face, her eyes dropped again, and she said sincerely: "Second Master, I was wrong about the previous thing."

Zhang Anyi gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips, smiled softly, with spoiled eyes: "How could it be Madam's fault, as long as Madam doesn't blame me."

The old Shangshu was an official to the Ministry of Rites before his death, and Zhang Anyi was the chief assistant of the cabinet. Many officials came to the Zhang family to express their condolences.

But everyone is more concerned about what will happen to Zhang Anyi next.

According to Guanghua's law, he wanted Ding You for one year.Now the Empress Dowager Qiu is trying hard to control the government, and the power of the Qiu family's relatives is growing day by day. If Zhang Anyi and Ding You have been worried for a year, when he returns to his original post, the situation in the court may be different.

At this time, Ding You was very unfavorable to him.
