Second marriage to the regent

"Then take a look and see what else you need. I'll have someone send it to you." Su Junxi thought that this might be the old lady's impromptu idea. The manor hadn't sent anyone to clean it yet, so she said, "Why don't you get the things first?" Send it over and wait until I have someone clean up the manor before you go there."

The old lady shook her head: "Don't bother. Your mother cleaned the manor before she left and waited for me to move in."

Thinking of Mrs. Ye, although the old lady complained, Mrs. Ye was also dedicated to this family. Now that she is gone, there is no one in this family who quarreled with her. Rather than causing chaos in the house, it would be better to go to the manor to hide in peace.

He thought that since Tang Zhili agreed, he should have sent people to do everything at the manor, and he only needed to give the old lady a ride.

"When will grandma set out? I will go with you." Su Junxi helped the old lady leave the house. She was afraid that these people would hurt the old lady.

The old lady replied to her: "The manor is a long way away. If you go with me, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back in less than ten days and a half."

Su Junxi shook her head: "It doesn't matter, my granddaughter-in-law can't let you go alone. I will accompany you and you will have someone to talk to along the way, so it won't be boring."

Seeing that Su Junxi insisted on doing this, the old lady was worried that Tang Zhili would be uneasy and asked, "Have you discussed this with Mr. Marquis?"

"The Marquis is busy and can't spare the time to see you off. I can't help him at home. Sending you to the manor will make him feel more at ease. Just ask me to let someone go and notify you later." Su Junxi didn't want to go to Tang Zhili because of these trivial matters. She felt uncomfortable when they met.

"Forget it, I plan to leave in the afternoon, so you should go back to the hospital to tidy up. If you go this time, you will stay for a few days and then come back, just to relax." The old lady knew that Su Junxi had paid too much for the Hou Mansion. After all the hard work and time, and the fact that I was injured before, I should find a day to take a good rest.

Su Junxi nodded, chatted with the old lady for a while, and then returned to the opera house to prepare.

Tang Zhili learned that she was going to send the old lady to the manor, and rushed to the opera house as soon as the court came.

"I heard that you want to accompany your grandmother to the manor?" Tang Zhili came to her yard before changing into his court clothes.

Su Junxi raised her eyes to look at him, then poured a cup of tea: "Master Marquis, please have tea."

Tang Zhili took his seat, looked at the maid in the room who was packing things, and asked, "But how many days are you going to stay in the manor?"

Su Junxi: "Well, I don't worry about grandma going alone. Let's stay in the manor for a few days. If grandma is not used to living there, I will bring her back."

"But there's anything else I need to bring. I'll ask someone to buy it. We'll set off in the afternoon. It should be too late now." Tang Zhili began to be attentive.

Su Junxi shook her head: "No need, everything you need is available at home, not to mention there is a small town near the manor. If you want something, you can go to the town to buy it. When you buy it in Kyoto, you have to carry it with you all the way. There are a lot of these things On the contrary, it affects the process.”

Considering that bringing too many things would delay the process, she planned to buy some things when she arrived at the manor.

Tang Zhili sounded reasonable and changed the subject: "Today, someone in the imperial court reported that the banknotes lost by the imperial court had some clues."

"Why are you telling me these things?" Su Junxi was puzzled. As a woman, she shouldn't be involved in these court affairs.

"You and I are husband and wife, so we should have no secrets from each other. Besides, the power of running the Hou Mansion is now in your hands, so we should discuss many things with you." Tang Zhili had already accepted that she was the mistress of this family, and he There are also many things that I need to rely on her to help with.

It's just a prodigal son who wants to turn back. It's a pity that she, Su Junxi, doesn't give in. She smiled and said: "If the Marquis discusses the affairs of the palace with me, I will do my best, but it is better not to talk to me about the matters above the court." . If others listen, they will also criticize Mr. Hou."

What she said seemed reasonable, but Tang Zhili thought it was a deliberate attempt to stay away from her. "I know you hate me in your heart and don't want to have contact with me. But you and I are husband and wife after all, and there are many things you can't escape." Tang Zhili spoke clearly every word, as if Su Junxi couldn't hear it.

Su Junxi opened her mouth and kept talking about her husband and wife, and listened to Su Junxi's head. If he really had her in his heart, how could these Yingying Yanyan appear.

"I have never hated Mr. Hou, but some things are destined to be irreversible, just like when the water in the teapot is poured into the cup, and then poured back into the teapot from the cup, the tea will eventually be stained by the cup, and it will not be undone. I’ve stirred up the remaining tea in the teapot, and I can’t drink it anymore.”

She said while doing the movements in her mouth.

Tang Zhili knew that making up for the mistakes he had made could not be done in an instant, and he had to take his time.

"No matter how much the tea in this teapot is changed, this pot is yours, and this cannot be changed."

Su Junxi compared him to tea, but Tang Zhili felt that he was the teapot.

Su Junxi had nothing to say to such a shameless person and said, "I still have things to pack so I won't accompany the Marquis. Lord Marquis, please come back."

But Tang Zhili didn't move at all after hearing this. Su Junxi looked puzzled. Tang Zhili smiled and drank tea and said: "It doesn't matter, you pack yours and I'll drink my tea."

After he had said this, Su Junxi couldn't continue to push him away, so she pretended that he didn't exist and packed up the things she wanted to take away in the room.

She didn't dare to take out the spear hidden in the house in front of Tang Zhili. After all, they had a direct conflict with it because of it, and she was afraid that he would act aggressively if he saw it again.

She didn't take the spear with her until she was about to set off, so that she could spend some time at the manor to figure out how to use the spear.

"I didn't expect the scenery outside the city to be so pleasant to the body and mind!" The old lady looked at the scenery outside the carriage through the window and smiled brightly.

The roadside was covered with shepherd's purses. It rained outside the city in the morning, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of earth. The old lady looked at these shepherd's purses and said slowly: "Since I moved to Kyoto, I have never eaten these again. It’s shepherd’s purse, and now it seems a little strange and I don’t dare to recognize it. But even so, I still remember the sweetness with a slight astringency.”

Seeing the way the old lady looked at the shepherd's purse, she seemed to want to take a bite, but there were many carriages on the roadside and it was difficult to stop, so she persuaded her: "When we get to the manor, my granddaughter-in-law will take you to the mountains to pick some and cook them for you. ,how?"

It might not be interesting for her to pick it by herself, but it would be different if she took the old lady with her. Taking her to experience the past life might make her feel happier.

The old lady nodded: "Okay."

Along the way, they saw camellias and peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains. The scenery was so beautiful.

Maybe because I have been in Kyoto for a long time, the things that ordinary people see every day seem particularly beautiful and special.

"The flowers are blooming so beautifully!" The old lady looked at the delightful sea of ​​flowers, closed her eyes and took a breath of the fragrant air.

"I remember that there are also peach blossoms planted in the manor. I think it's almost time to come. You can also have a bite of peach blossom cake." Su Junxi remembered that Ye said that there were many trees planted in the manor, including peach blossom trees. .

"Looks like we came at the right time." The old lady smiled.
