From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 232 The Troubled Old Lady
All the way to the gate, Zongzheng Mingzhen led a group of Imperial Forest Army horses and left.Not far away, he seemed to see his own carriage, Zongzheng Mingzhen held the rein and asked with some uncertainty: "Liujiu, do you think that is Madam's carriage?"

Liujiu also noticed it, but it was too dark to see clearly.

Not sure, didn't dare to answer rashly, at this moment the maid Lamei who came down from the carriage saw him.He waved his hand and called Lord Hou, then turned to the people in the carriage and said, "Madam, it's Lord Hou, and Lord Hou is here."

Hearing the sound coming out of the carriage, Mrs. Zongzheng Hou's wife Bai Yulan said with a smile, "It's true."

While talking, Zongzheng Mingzhen rode his horse to the front, tightened the reins and dismounted immediately, threw the whip in his hand to Liujiu, then stepped forward and said, "Mother, why are you here? It's so late, have you eaten yet?"

Although the business at home is very large and complicated, and she often has to go out to inspect the shop, but his mother has a rule, that is, she must go home before dark.Whether it is windy or rainy or something serious, she must be at home before dark.

In fact, it's not a special rule, it's just that there are many gossips in front of the widow's house, and her public business has already attracted criticism.If he was wandering outside at night, it was inevitable that people would make irresponsible remarks.Therefore, she always talks about business during the day, and always chooses places with many people, so she pays special attention to it.

Seeing Yushu Linfeng's son Bai Yulan with a happy smile, she got out of the carriage and stepped forward to help him pull the cloak that was blown away by the wind. She looked at him meaningfully and said, "You just came out of Prince Liang's mansion?"

Looking down at his cloak, Zongzheng Mingzhen replied: "Well, didn't I ask Liujiu to send a letter home this afternoon, saying that I have an errand tonight and I will be home later, don't you know?"

Turning her head to look at Liujiu, Liujiu immediately said: "This subordinate told Lamei, Lamei..."

The words were interrupted by Magnolia, who only heard her say: "I know, Lamei told me. My son, did you go to the Prince Liang's mansion to see Xin'er?"

Leaning forward and lowering her voice, Bai Yulan quietly asked again like a thief: "Is your heart well, how is the baby, is there any morning sickness, can you eat?"

Although she knew the wives of the Mei family, but because she hadn't had much contact with them and rarely interacted with them, she couldn't rush to the door.Otherwise, she would have sent the post to Prince Liang's Mansion to see Mei Xin in person.

Even though I have already experienced the old lady's outspokenness, her words are not astonishing and she keeps dying, scaring people to death, Zongzheng Mingzhen's ears trembled when she heard the word "Xin'er".With bulging veins on his forehead and furrowed brows, he replied speechlessly: "I was ordered to deliver things to Prince Liang's mansion, so you know this. Mother, you haven't answered my question yet, and it's so cold at night, how can you Come out, did something happen at home?"

With an old lady who is full of curiosity and rich imagination, he dare not tell the truth.Besides, she called Mei Xin'er before she met Mei Xin, if she found out, she would rush to Prince Liang's mansion right now.

After fighting wits and courage with her son for more than ten years, Bai Yulan knew that he was not telling the truth just by looking at his eyes.However, she knows her son's temper, and you won't say anything you don't want to say even if you ask again.So, I stopped asking, pointed to the gate of a house next to me and said, "Didn't I tell your sister before that the house at home is too big, and it's too deserted for the two of us to live in. No, I'll buy it." The house where Dong Wu entered is right next to Prince Liang's Mansion."

As the saying goes, the moon is the first to be close to the water. She has been looking forward to the grandson for seven or eight years, and now she finally has it. The closer the better, the better.Furthermore, she lived close enough to drop by, so that she could often see her grandson or granddaughter.

Looking at his mother, who was full of pride in her eyebrows and eyes, Zongzheng Mingzhen had one head and two big ones.He suddenly found that his mother was even scarier and more frightening than he had imagined.He said that he would not marry Mei Xin, and would not have any contact with her, so if she pretended not to know or simply forgot about it, she would be fine and move directly next door.

I'm afraid that others don't know, I'm afraid that it won't be related, right?

Headache, eye pain, heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney pain, Zongzheng Mingzhen pulled her aside and whispered: "Mother, what are you doing? Didn't I promise you that you would marry a wife and have children? I didn't Did you say that you are looking for someone, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Eyes widened involuntarily, Bai Yulan shook her head and said puzzledly: "Changing my mind, I haven't changed my mind. I was just saying that I would like to hold a banquet for the housewarming and invite all ladies and ladies to come to my house. You can also show your face at that time." , see if you like that."

"What kind of housewarming, you..." Suddenly heard footsteps Zongzheng Mingzhen turned his head and glanced, seeing that it was just a passer-by, he continued: "Aren't you fooling around? When did you buy the house, why didn't you tell me ?”

Moving is not a trivial matter, not to mention that the Hou's mansion they live in now is a mansion gifted by the imperial court, so it's not easy to move.

Seeing that her son was in a hurry and seemed to mind this matter, Bai Yulan pursed her mouth and said, "I want to tell you, it's too late. Besides, I just bought this house this afternoon. I saw you. Son, mother told you, this room is nice, and the view inside is good, although the price is a bit expensive, but it is not next to my grandson..."

Zongzheng Mingzhen couldn't listen to the words before he finished speaking. One word was about grandson, one sentence was about grandson, how did she know that Mei Xin's child must be grandson.

My brain hurts, but there's nothing he can do about his mother.Grabbing her arm, he said solemnly: "Bai Yulan, Miss Bai, this is a bit too much. It's cold outside and there are many people. Let's go home and talk about it."

"I'm not going home, I'm here to see the house. Hey, you child, you child, let me go, let go." Being hugged by her son directly, Bai Yulan was so frightened that she almost cried out.He clenched his fists and beat him twice, threatening in a low voice: "You son of a bitch, you want to rebel, don't you, put me down quickly. Lao Ji, Lao Ji, come and help me, ouch, my ass. "

Being stuffed directly into the carriage, Bai Yulan was furious.But she couldn't say anything more, Zongzheng Mingzhen jumped on the horseback and said, "Uncle Ji, go home!"

"Don't go home, Lao Ji, let's go in and look at the house." During the day, she just came to take a quick look, and didn't know the size of the room. Therefore, she came here to measure the size for the convenience of moving the furniture in tomorrow.

Butler Ji also had some headaches because he was often caught between their mother and son.But before he could make a choice, Liujiu got into the car, raised the whip and pulled the rein, turned the horse's head and headed towards Zongzhenghoufu.
