Chapter 174 Mourning Clothes
Without seeing Mrs. Zhou, Chen Shangfu couldn't go back to report to the queen, so he simply stayed in a nearby inn and visited outside the door every morning.

Jiang Yuanhui was naturally not far behind, and even booked the same inn.

At this moment, the two groups were still kneeling in front of Mrs. Zhou's house as before, begging bitterly.

"Old Madam, I hope you will read it for the sake of the empress's filial piety. Let me wait in and visit."

"Yes, old matriarch, His Royal Highness is also full of filial piety, please be kind to me, let me wait in and take a look."

The two groups have been like this every day for the past few days, but the gate of the Zhou family has never been opened except for the first day.

After shouting their speeches to each other, the two looked at each other, and there was actually a feeling of sympathy for each other.

I thought today would be closed as usual, Jiang Yuanhui didn't want to bask in the sun outside the door, so she said to Chen Shangfu: "Chen Shangfu, the old lady doesn't want to see us, why should we insist?

In my opinion, it's better to go back early and return to your life. You are not in the palace for so many days, and you are not afraid of delaying serving the empress and letting others take advantage of it? "

He didn't want Chen Shangfu but he was not provoked by her, he didn't even look at her, he snorted softly and said: "If Jiang Shangfu wants to go back to his life, he can go back on his own, this Shangfu is ordered by the empress to give to the old lady." Siji, don't dare to make claims."

As she spoke, she still knelt down on the ground and continued to shout the excuse of asking for a visit.

Jiang Yuanhui had no choice but to bite her lip and stand still with Chen Shangfu.

It was Jiang Baoyin who felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but asked Jiang Yuanhui: "Aunt, didn't you say that the emperor has sent Mu Shangfu and the second sister to take care of the old lady? It's been five days, why haven't you seen her?" Where are they?"

Only then did Jiang Yuanhui remember this incident, and frowned, "That's right, don't you go in before us?"

As soon as this thought came out, a chill ran down her back.

If Mu Gui was asked to go in first, the things that the empress asked her to pick up might not be able to get them.

Only Chen Shangfu chuckled and said, "Impossible! This Shangfu deliberately rushed out of the palace ahead of her, and traveled all the way, and I have never seen her surpass on the road. And our Harem Shangfu Bureau is definitely the first batch to ask Ill."

Chen Shangfu continued with a disdainful expression on his face as he spoke: "Mu Gui is a nice person to say that, he must have seen you and me bumping into a wall here, retreated despite the difficulties, and returned early to return to life."

Jiang Baoyin followed Jiang Yuanhui to kneel for the past few days, but found nothing, only felt that it was futile, and wanted to go back to her life a long time ago, when she heard that Jiang Baoyu might have gone back with Mu Gui, she couldn't stay any longer, and was so busy that she called Jiang Yuanhui to come .

"Auntie, the old lady doesn't want to see us, and it's not a good idea to keep stalemate like this. If the old lady has something good or bad, it's not good to say that we disturbed it. Or we can learn from it." Mu Shangfu, go back and report to your orders as soon as possible."

"What do you know?"

Jiang Yuanhui turned her face to the side and reprimanded her.

"Although Mrs. Zhou is the emperor's nursing mother and a first-rank imperial order, she has not asked about the affairs of the palace for many years. Now she is just an ordinary old man with no power and power. Why do you think Chen Shangfu must stick to it at this time? "

"Why?"

Jiang Baoyin really didn't understand, but she was just a useless old woman. Even though she had been kind to the emperor in nurturing her, the emperor had already given her what she should have given. No matter what, she couldn't insult the current queen and prince in the street, right?

Indulging in this way, but still going down the steps, why?

Jiang Yuanhui regarded Jiang Baoyin as one of her own, so she leaned into her ear and said, "That's because the old matriarch has a gold medal for avoiding death, which was given to her by the late emperor in order to thank her for saving the emperor. Gold medals are inheritable."

"The old lady has no husband and no children. Now that she is dying, whoever stays by her side until the end and satisfies her may inherit this gold medal."

After hearing the news, Jiang Baoyin's mouth was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. It seemed that he suddenly remembered something after a while, and he also kowtowed and said: "Old Madam, for the sake of His Royal Highness, please allow me to Wait to go in and visit!"

Unexpectedly, after she finished shouting, the door of the Zhou family opened.

Even Jiang Yuanhui didn't expect it, and looked at Jiang Baoyin in surprise, thinking that this child was some kind of lucky star.

When she got excited, she also kowtowed and begged, thinking that when people came to invite them in, she would do another show.

They didn't notice at all that the person who opened the door and came out was wearing filial piety clothes, and it was the nun who came out to persuade them to go back.

This time, she brought someone out to cover Zhou's residence in white.

Seeing that everyone in the Zhou family was dressed in filial piety, white lanterns were hung in front of the door.

Jiang Baoyin was dumbfounded, and quickly pushed Jiang Yuanhui beside him and said, "Auntie, get up quickly, get up quickly."

"What's the hurry? Did you invite us in?"

As she spoke, she looked up, but she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, and said to herself in disbelief: "Old Madam, are you gone?"

And what surprised them even more was that Jiang Baoyu was standing in the middle of the main entrance in mourning attire, looking at the people in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "Mrs. Everyone, please go back."

"Jiang Baoyu?"

Seeing that it was Jiang Baoyu standing there, Chen Shangfu was startled, stood up immediately, and said in disbelief, "How did you get in? Besides, why are you talking about this?"

But before her question was answered, Jiang Yuanhui rushed forward as if seeing a savior, took her hand and smiled and said: "It's good that you stay here, aunt knows you must have something to do, hurry up, take auntie Go in and see the old lady for the last time."

"aunt."

Jiang Yuanhui just wanted to go in, but Jiang Baoyu called her to stop, and looked down at her clothes.

Because she came here to inquire about illnesses on behalf of the crown prince, Jiang Yuanhui is still wearing life clothes now.

"Anyway, go back and change into mourning clothes before coming back, besides, the old lady doesn't welcome you."

It was only then that Jiang Yuanhui realized that it was really wrong for her to go in wearing her life clothes, but the gold medal for avoiding death must not fall into the hands of others. Although the inn is not far from here, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, who knows What will happen during this period?
She was thinking in this way, and suddenly she saw that Chen Shangfu had asked someone to take out a set of mourning clothes from the carriage and put them on, and he also came up crying.

"Old Madam, Madam, the next official is here to see you, please walk slowly."

Jiang Yuanhui secretly thought that the old fox had even prepared this in advance, and she became more and more anxious, and said to Jiang Baoyu in a hurry: "You child, since you have come in early, can't you help my aunt prepare a mourning dress?"

As she spoke, while discussing with the housekeeper for a mourning dress, she deliberately blocked Chen Shangfu's way, not wanting her to go in first.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Baoyu stood in front of the door and refused to give way, and said with firm eyes: "I repeat, the old lady wants to leave quietly, and I don't want anyone to disturb you. Please go back!"
