Chapter 276 The separation and separation in life are all like this
After sitting in the room in a daze for a while, I planned to go find Jin Niang.

Led by the little maid Wan'er, they walked toward the courtyard where Jin Niang lived.

It has been such a long time, and there have been changes during this period, and the servants in the house have been changed again and again.

Wan'er was temporarily assigned by Aunt Xue. She didn't know me, she just thought I was a distant relative of the Lin family. As she walked, she said, "Madam lives in front, but she is probably not here at the moment. At this time, Madam is in the backyard. It’s the meditation room.”

"Is there a Zen room in the house?"

"That's right. The year before last, the master and his wife discussed the idea of ​​chanting sutras and accumulating blessings for our empress who passed away in the palace, so they built a meditation room. Since then, my wife has liked worshiping Buddha and will go there whenever she has time."

Three years ago, I was seriously injured.

My family just learned that I am still alive.

Because he has not returned to the palace, his name and identity have not been made public. Except for my father and others who know the truth, no one else in the family knows.

Listening to the words of the little maid named Wan'er, she was very proud of having a queen in the family. I smiled bitterly to myself and thought:
How did she know that the master's family was already a strong one on the outside but a powerful one on the inside?From now on, there will never be the same glory as before.

Passing through a patch of blue and purple hydrangeas, I suddenly saw Aunt Zhao walking from a distance, supporting Jin Niang.

Behind Jinniang was the scorching summer afternoon sun, which shone brightly on her sapphire-blue embroidered robe of happiness and longevity, and the gold threads on the brocade piping shimmered dazzlingly.

In a daze, it was obviously Jin Niang and Aunt Zhao who were here, but I seemed to see them walking quickly with my mother surrounded.

My heart was suddenly shaken, and I felt excited and sad. I took a few steps to meet him.

Before I even got there, Jin Niang stretched out her hand and called me with tears in her eyes: "Girl, girl -"

Jin Niang is my mother's maid.She has served my mother since she was a child.

After my mother married into the Lin family, she brought me to college.

In the past, Jin Niang would go wherever my mother went. She and my mother were inseparable.So my mother is no longer here, and Jin Niang is just like my mother.

There is also Aunt Zhao, she is an old lady of the Lin family and Xing'er's mother.

Xing'er is gone too. From now on, I will be the one to honor his mother.

The group of people arrived at the courtyard where Jin Niang lived. The maid served tea and snacks and then left.

I sat cross-legged on the soft couch by the window and ate snacks.

While eating, I told Jin Niang and Aunt Zhao about my life in Northern Xinjiang.

The two of them said a few words and wiped away tears for a long time.

Jin Niang was honest and clumsy, and only said two sentences back and forth: "As long as the person is good, anything will be fine... I don't want anything else, I just want the eldest lady to be good..."

Aunt Zhao wiped her tears while talking about her family life.

She said: "...it's really hard to tell about things in this world... Back in Fujian, the Sun family even proposed marriage to the eldest lady. Now the young master of the Sun family has become a high official, and the two wives he married are from official families. …When the eldest lady wants to become the queen, it’s like a dream…Eldest lady, what kind of grievances have you suffered in the palace, why are you thinking of leaving the palace...”

Jin Niang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and waved her hand towards Aunt Zhao: "Don't talk about these things. As long as the person is good, anything will be fine..."

Jinniang is very rich and kind-hearted.

I think if my mother were still here, she would look like such a kind little old lady.

"I know...I know...I just think that in the past, my wife and we indulged the eldest lady's temper too much, and we should not let the eldest lady hang around with my little brat all day long. After all, the boy is not as quiet as the little girl. …My bastard didn’t listen to me and his father. In the past, he always took the eldest daughter over the wall to wander outside and fight with people...I asked my wife to take charge, but she turned a blind eye. …”

"Okay, okay, why do you keep talking about this? The eldest lady and Xing'er are already good enough. They were looking for a living outside at a young age, and there was still war at that time! It's great that they can come back safely. It's easy." "You're talking about Master Sun, so what if he got the top prize in the exam? Our eldest lady was just a little short of becoming the queen! However, in my opinion, it's a good thing that the eldest lady doesn't enter the palace. Where is that place in the palace? Once you enter, you will come out again. During the draft in the previous dynasty, Madam did not want the eldest young lady to participate in the election. Didn’t that mean that the second young lady went there later? Oh, look, why am I talking about this? "

Jin Niang sat opposite me, Xu Xu said.It was rare for her to speak such a big word.

Then he said: "Anyway, I see that the eldest lady is very capable. You just heard that the eldest lady can make friends with the Mongolian princess!"

After saying that, Jin Niang stretched out her hand and patted my arm: "As long as our eldest lady is good, it is better than anything else."

Aunt Zhao stopped talking, just wiped her tears and nodded.

I wiped my hands, stood up, walked to Aunt Zhao, and sat down on the low table next to her.

I came closer to Aunt Zhao, stared into her red eyes, and said with a warm smile: "When Xing'er and I were in Northern Xinjiang, I made some money. I used Uncle Zhao's name to establish a Jinfu Bank. I'll catch up with Uncle Zhao tomorrow." If you have time, go to their branch in Beijing to pick it up."

In the past, Xing'er and I made more than ten thousand taels of silver. I only kept enough for expenses, and the rest was deposited in Uncle Zhao's account.

Aunt Zhao quickly shook her head: "Miss..."

"This is what Xing'er earned from doing business. He wanted to honor you and Uncle Zhao."

I smiled and stopped what she was about to say.Then he said to Aunt Xue: "You Ting's birthday is the day after tomorrow. He is on errand and cannot come home. I plan to go and see him. I will leave in a while while it is still early. Where is Baoxiang? I will see him and take a test. His knowledge.”

Jin Niang said: "Baoxiang went to Xiangshan with a few friends. I will tell people to go home right away. If you want to see Youting, don't rush now. Send someone a message. He will take a few days off to come back." What’s wrong with home?”

"No need. I'll go see Youting and then I'll leave."

Jin Niang stood up and said, "Where else are you going?"

I smiled slightly and said, "Go to Fujian and see my mother. She may live there or go to her old house in the south."

Jin Niang opened her mouth to speak. How could she not know my situation, so she started wiping away tears again.

I said softly: "My father has already made a promise."

I said, "Jin Niang, Aunt Zhao, I will come to visit you again in the future."

Jin Niang cried: "We just met, why do we have to separate again?"

I said: "Even the sun sometimes cannot meet. The same is true for separation and separation in life. Jin Niang does not need to be sad because of this."

After saying goodbye to Jin Niang and the others, I led the horse and strolled through the streets of the capital.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard the wheels rolling, and the coachman shouted "Make way, give way."

Without looking back, I knew it must be the carriage of a dignitary, so I took the horse and walked along the roadside.

As the carriage slowly passed by, the pedestrians gathered with me on the roadside commented: "This is Tanhualang's carriage. It's really beautiful. The two father-in-laws are more powerful than the other..."

Watching the carriage go away, I couldn't help but smile and thought: "Master Sun used to be such a shy person, but now he is so famous. People mention him wherever he goes. He can be called a romantic figure in the capital."

One of the people who were just discussing said, "Have you heard? The palace has started a talent show again."

Another person said: "The emperor has been on the throne for a few years, it is long overdue for the draft."

……

The setting sun shone on the long street, and everything was glowing with golden light. I stood under the eaves for a while, and then got on the horse.
