Yipin Tianxia

Ruyiju.

In this way, there will be absolutely no shortage of food and drink in the gold sales nest, but from yesterday to now, the three members of the Shi family, even if they are so hungry that their chests stick to their backs, they dare not touch any food on the table. The delicacies from mountains and seas that have been eaten are served in a steaming bowl, and they are kept completely cold.

And this isn't the scariest thing.

The most frightening thing was that they didn't sleep a wink all night.There was a constant fire in the house, and it was warm and increasingly drowsy.But they didn't even dare to yawn, each of them was as honest as a quail, sitting motionless on the stool, even if they wanted to go to the latrine, they could only hold back.

It should be said that their hands and feet were not tied, their mouths were not blocked, and their movements were not restricted at all.But, opposite them, sat a man.

The man's appearance was not too vicious, and he didn't carry a knife or gun. He just sat there, but Gao, who was used to bullying the good and fearing the evil, couldn't help but think of the old butcher in the village.No matter how fierce the wild dog is, once it sees him, it will run away with its tail between its legs.

Of course Gao would not compare herself to a wild dog, but she instinctively knew that this person must not be messed with.So she calmed down, so what about Shi Rui and Gao Xiuxiu?Even more silent.

Suddenly, Chai Rong walked in with a smile on his face.

"Hey, why don't you eat it? Is it not done well?"

Looking at him now, Gao Shi no longer felt the kindness and easygoing when they first met, only the regret of being on a pirate ship by mistake.Not daring to be disrespectful, I answered tremblingly. "No...it's just Uncle Chai, you, what do you want us to do by bringing us here? What's the matter...just tell us."

Chai Rong smiled, "I'm just treating you to a meal, it scares you. Don't just stand still, move your chopsticks."

But how do you eat these cold dishes?Gao Shi was about to say something, when the murderous man next to him said coldly, "Our uncle let you eat. Didn't you hear?"

Shi Xiuxiu was terrified, and Shi Rui was the most timid. He quickly picked up a meatball and stuffed it into his mouth, but the meatball was already cold, so what's so delicious even if it was delicious?But he still didn't dare not swallow it.

Gao Shi didn't dare not to eat it, and Shi Xiuxiu didn't dare not to eat it.All of them ate voraciously, like wind and clouds.

Seeing that they all had their mouths full, Chai Rong smiled with satisfaction, and said leisurely, "This meal should be considered as congratulations to the three of you. I have good news for you, your sister has met Ping Guogong and his wife. Tsk tsk. I really didn't expect that Sister Mu of your family is actually Ping Guogong's biological daughter."

puff!The most impatient Shi Xiuxiu spit out all the soup she just drank.A table of dishes, all ruined.

A chicken bone in Gao's mouth also slammed onto the plate in front of him. Before he could wipe his mouth, he asked with wide eyes, "You... are you telling the truth?"

Chai Rong frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal, and even waved an ivory folding fan.He said slowly, "Of course it is true. Right now, Duke Ping has taken your parents, your sister-in-law and niece back to the mansion, and they must be having a family reunion."

"How is it possible?" After Shi Xiuxiu was shocked, she screamed, "How could that damn girl be the daughter of Duke Ping? If it was me, it should be me! Did I make a mistake?"

"Shut up!" Gao sternly stopped her, and then took another look at Chai Rong, "Master Chai, you arrested us, do you have something to do for us? Just say it, as long as we can do it, we will definitely do it." manage."

She thought that Chai Rong had an enmity with the Pingguo government, and seeing that the wealth of Hui Niang's mother and daughter could not be stopped, but it would make them feel uncomfortable, she was still very willing to do it.

Chai Rong smiled appreciatively, "Madam is really smart, but sometimes she is too kind and soft."

Gao was taken aback for a moment, then he heard him slowly say, "1000 taels of silver is really too little, if you want me, at least 1 taels from her."

He even knew that he met Lu's mother privately and asked her for money?Gao's face turned pale, "Master Chai, you..."

Chai Rong smiled again, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. But since your sister-in-law is already so rich, isn't it a bit unattractive for you to be so downcast? Why don't you come to my place and be in charge?"

Mrs. Gao was confused. This Uncle Chai, what on earth is he trying to do?

New Year's Eve is always eagerly awaited by all the children, but for adults, it is more like a pass.

Slowly groping to button every button, Lu's mother couldn't help delaying the time to go out.Suddenly, the little grandson woke up, opened his eyes from the bed and got up, "Grandma, are you going out again?"

Mother Lu forced a smile, and pushed him back under the covers, "Go in quickly, don't catch a cold. Grandma is going to buy you firecrackers, and she will be back in a while."

The little grandson became more energetic, "Then I will go with you."

Lu's mother shook her head and patted his head lovingly, "It's too cold outside, you stay at home obediently, grandma will be back soon. If you are not obedient, grandma won't buy it for you."

Oh well.The little grandson shrank back into the bed obediently.

But Lu's mother showed a trace of sadness on her face, and then tucked her grandson in the quilt, and then walked out of this room cruelly, and entered the son's and daughter-in-law's room next door.

The son and daughter-in-law of the Lu family were still cuddling together and sleeping late. It was very unpleasant to be woken up by Lu's mother, "Mother, why did you come here so early in the morning?"

Lu's mother didn't even glance at the two of them, she just said to herself, "If I leave today, I may not be able to come back. You two are so old, there is nothing to worry about, I am the only one It is my grandson who is worried about it.”

She suddenly took out a purse, slapped it on the table, and said in a sharp voice, "Lu Dashi, remember! Whether I live or die, raise the child well and teach him Studying and becoming an adult. The money left by my mother is enough for the two of you to eat and drink for a lifetime, and the rest is for my grandson to start a family and marry a wife. If you dare to move this money, my mother will not let you go even if she is a ghost! "

Lu Dashi was terrified of her.The original resentment was gone, "Mother, you...why did you suddenly say such a thing?"

But Mother Lu said, "Don't ask, it won't do you any good. Anyway, remember, if I'm really gone, don't even think about going to trouble with Madam. If you really want to go, you will only die ! If you are honest, maybe my wife can take care of you one or two because of my past achievements."

Suddenly, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family interjected, "Then...then if we know something, madam, won't let us go?"

Lu Dashi hurriedly said, "Yes, mother. You must leave us something to save our lives."

Mother Lu gave them a squinting look, hesitated for a moment, "Forget it. If there is such a day, you will find someone..."

Lu Ying was in a good mood today, and had prepared some red envelopes to be distributed in the palace early in the morning.Of course, she believed she would receive more.Right now, she is a big celebrity around the Queen Mother.Who wouldn't rush to curry favor?

When the New Year banquet in the palace is over today, she plans to go to Baoguang Temple.Looking at an old acquaintance, I don't know what she looks like with her shaved head, whether Ouyang Kang will still look at her like that.

Thinking about being proud, Lu Ying couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.But when she entered the imperial dining room, she found that the atmosphere was really not right.

Many people gathered together and whispered something, but when they saw her coming, they quickly dispersed.

What's going on here?

Lu Ying was a little puzzled.But she still pretended to be calm and went into the kitchen, preparing a few side dishes such as the fried goose palm that the queen mother likes.But she hasn't waited for her hands yet.Yu Sansheng walked over suddenly, "You don't have to be busy today, go back and rest."

how?

Lu Ying was puzzled, and Yu Sansheng glanced at her, after all, he was the apprentice brought out by himself, he couldn't bear to say some things too seriously, so he said, "The queen mother has no appetite for the past two days, and the dishes sent yesterday are all intact. After returning, I only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, so don't worry about it any more."

Lu Ying was stunned, seeing that Master didn't mean to tell her, she had to turn around and leave.But it was like fifteen little mice were locked in her heart, tickling her up and down.Hurry up and seal a big red envelope, and ask the servants to call a court lady she knows well, but the court lady who usually arrives on call refuses to come, so she asks someone to tell her a word, "Ping Guogong is looking for the lost Wife and daughter."

What does it matter to Ping Guogong to find his wife and daughter?

Lu Ying just felt baffled, but she wanted to ask again, but no one was willing to tell her.

Lu Ying thought, this matter can be put aside for a while, and then slowly inquire about it later.But Baoguang Temple is so lively, she must go to see it.He was about to leave the palace, but he happened to meet Empress Dowager Mu's Feng Jia.

Lu Ying rushed forward to say hello to Ann, but Empress Dowager Mu didn't have much interest in listening to her praises.He waved his hand, and wanted to send her back, but suddenly remembered something, "It's just right, since you're here, let's go with Ai's family."

yes.Lu Ying didn't know what the queen mother was thinking, so she happily followed the team.

After leaving the palace, looking at the direction of the road, it was going to Pingguo Duke's Mansion, Lu Ying's heart became more stable, and even Empress Dowager Mu's complexion was not good, she also found an explanation.

On New Year's Eve, every family is reunited, but the Mu family is deserted, and the queen mother should think of her relatives. This is also human nature, and it's no big deal.

Pingguo government office.

Last night, Mu Shaoqin talked to Hui Niang late, and woke up too late.

Opening her eyes and taking a closer look at the room she lived in, Hui Niang felt pleasantly surprised everywhere, "This room is exactly the same as when we first got married. The things are arranged the same, even the color of the curtain is the same. Ha! Here It’s really embroidered with Grasshopper. Do you even remember this?”

Mu Shaoqin held her hand and said softly, "Is there anything I don't remember that you said? At that time, you envied other people's daughters to have a pair of curtains embroidered with grasshoppers when they got married, but we didn't. I I promised you that I will supply you in the future, so when I was building this house, I specially asked someone to do it. It’s just that I can’t see it, and I don’t know if the embroidery is good, do you like it?”

"I like it." Madam Hui was happy in her heart, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help but feel a little sore, "I've suffered a lot for you all these years."

Mu Shaoqin shook his head before he was about to speak, but there was a knock on the door.

(It's finally early. Ah, I'm going to be driven crazy by that noise!) (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
