suspected wife

Mother Qiao led the three children to have tea and snacks, and was only focused on talking to the three children, telling Mingjue and Mingheng brothers some things, and never saw anyone watching them.

The three of Mingjue and the others were also attentively listening to Qiao's mother, and the tea shop was noisy with people coming and going, so they didn't notice it.

And the two people next to them looked better dressed than ordinary people on the street.The older one, calm and composed, looked about 50 to [-] years old, and next to him was a young man in his twenties.

The older one, with a green jade pendant pinned to his waist, looks like a good thing, and looks like a decent person.

The older one kept staring back and forth between Ming Heng and Ming Jue, while the younger one, feeling surprised, also stared back and forth at Qiao's family.

But the two of them didn't come close, and their faces remained calm.

Until Mother Qiao left with the three children after eating and paying the bill, the two of them didn't come forward to talk to them, they just paid the bill in a hurry and followed them from a distance.

Mingheng ordered a carriage for Qiao's mother, and ordered the driver to take him safely to Yunjia Village in Songshanji.

In the past, how could Mother Qiao be willing to spend such a waste of money.

It's not impossible to walk on two legs, even if you block a ride or find a ride in a bullock cart, you can save a few copper coins.

But now the family does not lack those few copper coins, and secondly, it is past noon, and it is still possible to get home before dark in a carriage.

"Mingheng, you have to listen to your brother carefully, don't be naughty."

Mother Qiao saw that Mingheng had agreed, so she told Mingjue again: "If there is anything to do, send someone to deliver a letter."

"Don't worry, mother. Don't worry about us. If you have time, you and your father will take grandma to the eldest sister's place, or pick up the eldest sister and Wan'er to stay at home for a few days."

"Mother knows, I will send someone to call your sister to stay at my house in a few days, and your grandmother often talks about your sister. She is the most worried about her."

Ming Jue nodded.

"Come on, mother, it will be dark in a while."

Mingheng hurriedly urged Mrs. Qiao beside her.

"You child. That mother and your sister are back." Qiao's mother scolded her younger son, then helped Ming Yu into the car and left.

The two people who followed behind heard what Mingjue said to the coachman from a distance, saying that they were going to Jiyunjia Village in Songshan.

The two saw that the two brothers were heading towards the academy, and they were also far behind...

In the Zhou Mansion, the main room of Mrs. Zhou.

Zhou Yanqing did not go to Xiahe Village today.I went back to the house early.Go to the old lady's main courtyard for dinner as usual.

"Mother, dear mother, what delicious food did you make for your son today? Is the meal ready? My son is very hungry."

Listening to Zhou Yanqing's approaching footsteps in the room, the old lady raised the corners of her mouth and winked at Lin's mother.

Mother Lin understood, she opened the curtain and walked out in three steps.

"Master Liu came back early today. Come in quickly. There are several ice basins in the room, which are cooling off. The servant girl will ask the small kitchen to bring all the meals."

Zhou Yanqing handed a bag of dim sum to Mama Lin: "Thank you, Mama. This is the Yunpian Cake from Xinghualou, specially brought for Mama."

Mother Lin took the snack and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Oh, Master Liu is still thinking about your servant. I know that this servant likes the cloud cake from Xinghualou the most. Oh, it's still hot. Thank you, Master Liu."

Zhou Yanqing smiled and said: "What is this worth? I passed by Xinghualou and sent stones to buy it. Mother Lin followed my mother to marry into the mansion. It has been decades, and I have worked hard. I still remember when I was a child , Mother has no time to take care of me, and I was brought by Mama Lin."

Mother Lin felt comforted after hearing this.

She accompanied the old lady to the Zhou mansion as a dowry, and when she was young, she met with unkind people, so she had to stay with the old lady by herself.

At the same time, which of the several maids who came as a dowry did not have children and grandchildren around their knees?

She was all alone.I don't know if someone begs for bones when I am old.No one burns paper money during festivals.

Sometimes it is not without regret.This will see that Liu Ye still remembers the kindness she showed him when he was a child.Feeling happy, he said: "Master Liu still remembers. It is also the honor of this old slave to be by the old lady's side."

Zhou Yanqing looked at her half gray hair.Said: "Mom, don't worry. From now on, you can rest assured in the mansion for the elderly, and there will be me in the future."

Mother Lin couldn't help being overjoyed. The sixth master meant that she would help collect the bones after she died, and he wouldn't just throw her away.

Blessed Zhou Yanqing deeply: "The old slave thanked the sixth master."

Zhou Yanqing gave a little help, turned around and was about to enter the house.

Ms. Lin opened her mouth to him, and seeing him quickly dodge into the room, she closed her mouth again, shook her head and went to the small kitchen.

Seeing Zhou Yanqing coming in, the old lady curled her lips unhappily: "I heard the voice, but I still don't come in. Talk to an old man outside."

Zhou Yanqing took two quick steps and sat down next to the old lady.

"Mother misses her son?"

Seeing that the old lady patted him, they chatted and laughed along with him.

Then he said sternly: "Mother, ask the housekeeper to see how many servants like Mama Lin are in our house. If the older ones are taken care of by others, we will repay their deeds and give them a sum of money to send them out of the house." If there is no one to depend on like Mother Lin, they are allowed to live in the mansion for the elderly. In the future, the mansion will make arrangements for the aftermath. We also have a lot of villages, even on the top of the mountain. In the future, we will send them to our home Which one of the hills. Or a secluded piece of land beside the ancestral grave, for their use. "

The old lady pondered for a while, and then said: "It is not our family's decision to bury it at the ancestral grave. If they are as loyal and unreliable as Mama Lin, they can be buried in our village or on a beautiful mountain. For this purpose."

Zhou Yanqing hurriedly boasted after hearing this: "I say that mother is the most kind-hearted. If the servants in the mansion find out, they should not confess mother. I am afraid that the people in Qingchuan City would like to send them away overnight. Come into our house to serve. Where can I find such a kind master like my mother?"

The old lady Zhou was coaxed happily by Zhou Yanqing, and she kept laughing.

After dinner, the mother and son sat down and chatted together.

"Qing'er, your elder brother sent a letter today, saying that your clan uncle revealed that there is a large amount of cloth needed in Beijing this year, and that Shu brocade has been raised in the palace this year, and your elder brother specially asked the family to send trusted people to the southwest to purchase in large quantities. He also said that these Shu brocades were selected to be given to the nobles in the capital and the palace, and asked Wei Niang to send reliable people to handle this matter. Who do you think should be sent?"

Zhou Yanqing was a little puzzled.

He has always been in charge of Southwest's business. Regarding business matters, his elder brother has always written to him directly, or sent his confidants to find him directly. Why didn't he know about this, but his elder brother told him Mother said?

"Mom, where's the letter from brother?"

"Mother put it away. Qing'er wants to see it? Then mother will look for it for you. I don't know where Mama Lin put that old thing."

Seeing that his mother was about to stay on the bed, Zhou Yanqing hurriedly supported her, and said: "No need, mother, just tell me."

Mrs. Zhou glanced at her son and breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
