Pastoral pretty medical concubine

Chapter 557

Chen Jiaoniang frowned, "Grandma Lin, I remember my mother was already an orphan when she got married, how could she have so much dowry?"

Ever since Chen Jiaoniang could remember things, her life had been difficult. Less than four years after her mother passed away, she could still clearly remember her appearance, she was indeed a symbolic beauty.

It's just that she finds it strange. According to Grandma Lin and the others, her mother was married in a beautiful way, but as far as she knows, her grandparents passed away a few years ago. Prepare so much dowry.

Grandma Lin said, "Your mother worked as a maid in a big family in the provincial capital. Your father was hired by that family to teach the young ladies and young masters of that family to study. After coming and going, he became acquainted with your mother. The master of the family begged your mother to be his daughter-in-law. Your mother was very favored by the master of that family back then. After this matter was settled, the master of that family prepared a generous dowry for your mother. The person who became a relative went back, and came back to Yinglong Village after having you."

This made sense, Chen Jiaoniang turned the information around in her mind, and suddenly remembered that Li Linchen told her before that she was looking for someone from more than ten years ago, and he was also in the provincial capital.

Just saying it casually, Chen Jiaoniang asked, "Grandma Lin, do you still remember the name of the family where my mother was a maid?"

After all, Grandma Lin is old, and she can't remember some things very clearly, she frowned, "I don't have much memory of this, it's been more than ten years."

Chen Jiaoniang was feeling regretful, when Uncle Lu suddenly said, "I remember, it seems... surnamed Du."

Hearing this, Chen Jiaoniang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran to Uncle Lu, "Uncle Lu, do you really remember? That family's surname is really Du?"

Uncle Lu thought for a while, but he was also a little hesitant. At this time, Mrs. Li happened to come over and asked, "Mother, there are not enough bowls and chopsticks for the table tomorrow, do you want to bring some from our house?"

Just as Grandma Lin was about to speak, Uncle Lu slapped the table, "I remembered, her surname is Du. At that time, your mother brought back some things from the provincial capital to the villagers in the village, and many of them were rewarded by the master in the mansion. , I remember your mother gave my family a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, the cakes were packed in a basket, very delicate, with the word Du written on it, and my family still keeps the basket.”

Hearing this, Chen Jiaoniang was overjoyed. Her surname was Du. Li Linchen said that the family that was exterminated was also surnamed Du. If so, could it be the same family?

"Uncle Lu, if you are not busy now, can you take me to see the cage."

At this moment, no one came to give the wedding present, Uncle Lu's house was on the side, so he nodded and took Chen Jiaoniang to go.

After entering the door, Aunt Lu was picking vegetables in the yard. When she saw Chen Jiaoniang coming, she quickly smiled and said, "Jiaoniang is here, please sit in the room."

"Old lady, take a look at our basket. It's the one Chen San'er and his wife used to give us sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."

Hearing this, Aunt Lu nodded, "Yes, I'll get it right away."

When Aunt Lu brought it over, Chen Jiaoniang took a serious look, and there was indeed a word Du engraved on the cage, surrounded by a circle. This kind of writing is usually a sign of a big family, and that family should be named Du.

Chen Jiaoniang was overjoyed, this was also a clue, she handed it to Aunt Lu, and said with a smile, "After reading it, take it back."
