"Uncle five, uncle five, hurry up!"
Chu lianyue takes the lead and runs in the front. She turns her head to look behind her from time to time.
Chu Xiaowu calmly follows behind, and doesn't mean to run at all. The Chu family has prospered in recent years and is moving to the capital.
When Chu lianyue heard the news, she immediately couldn't sit still. She threw the chess game and ran to Zheng's yard.
"Mother, mother! is that true? Is the news true? "
Chu lianyue hasn't entered the yard yet, and the voice has been loud and clear throughout the yard. Zheng, who is checking the inventory, looks up at her daughter, and can't help laughing.
"Look what you look like a girl. You're sweating."
Zheng subconsciously pinches the handkerchief to wipe the sweat for Chu lianyue. He suddenly remembers that the handkerchief has been used to cover his mouth and cough. He quickly takes back his hand and rolls up his sleeve to wipe the sweat for Chu lianyue. He also pours tea and delivers snacks.
"Mother, are we really going to the capital?"
"Yes, your father has been in the capital, so he wrote a letter to let us prepare to leave for the capital."
"Mother, what's the capital like?! Is it fun? How delicious is it? "
"Silly girl, I've never been there. How can I know?"
"Sister-in-law, lianyue is not stupid. She is good at playing chess. She is about to lose. After hearing the news, she immediately finds an excuse to slip away."
Slowly and leisurely, Chu Xiaowu, who came to yuanzikou, seizes the opportunity to complain and gets a white eye from Chu lianyue.
"Xiao Wu is here. Do you want someone to help you with the things?"
"My sister-in-law doesn't have to worry when I pack up my things, but her two brothers and three brothers have all become a family. I'm afraid they are busy. She might as well send someone to help them."
Zheng's busy nod should be, let Chu small five and Chu lianyue two people drink tea to eat dim sum, oneself continue to busy.
Chu lianyue and Chu Xiaowu went back to the yard to collect their own things after they finished competing for snacks.
The Chu family house in Yuezhou has been used as the ancestral house since then. Some old servants who are not willing to leave Yuezhou's native land look at the ancestral house, and the rest of them set out for the prosperous capital.
Along the way, water and land alternate, Zheng's body, if not for those packed full of three boxes of medicinal materials hanging, I'm afraid the capital will collapse.
Chu lianyue grabs Zheng's thin hand and wipes her tears.
"Niang, we'll be in the capital soon. When we get to the capital, we'll let dad find the best doctor for you. I'm sure I'll take good care of you."
Zheng raised his hand to touch Chu lianyue's head and pulled the corner of his mouth.
"Silly girl, mother, this is seasickness. It's nothing. Just wait until the capital recuperates for two days."
Zheng didn't lie. He was really seasick, but ordinary people would not be so weak. It was his body that didn't win.
Chu lianyue is looking forward to the end of the journey a little faster and a little faster, and finally arrives at the brand-new Chu home in the capital. Chu lianyue jumps out of the carriage with joy. When she sees the familiar figure in front of the door of the Chu home, she is just about to rush past a bear hug, but stops after seeing the shadow of a strange woman.
"Dad..."
"Well."
Chu lianyue looks at Chu Da who goes straight to the carriage and stops the woman behind Chu da.
"Who are you, why do you follow my father?"
"Pity for the moon. It's aunt Zhuang."
Chu lianyue couldn't believe it. She turned to warn her uncle Chu, and then looked down at Zheng who was half frozen in the carriage.
Zheng Shi Leng for a long time, just will look at the woman's eyes back, steadily supported the servant girl's hand to the carriage, the foot nearly sprained.
"All the way by car and boat, my legs were numb, and I finally got home."
Uncle Chu looked at his wife whom he had not seen for a long time, and his eyes were full of heartache.
"Why are you so thin?"?! I've suffered a lot along the way. Go inside and have a rest. "
Zheng Shi looked at her husband and ignored Zhuang ruomeng, who was preparing to salute. He walked into the new Chu house.
Chu lianyue doesn't like aunt Zhuang, who appears out of thin air. After knowing her source, she doesn't like her any more.
Why does a brothel woman make herself polite to her? Why does she give birth to a son?!
At first, Chu lianyue was against Zhuang Rumeng's mother and son everywhere. Only when he saw Chu lianyue push her young son to the ground with his own eyes once did Chu lianyue punish her until Chu lianyue swore that she would never be against Zhuang's mother and son again.
But since then, Chu lianyue has been completely silent, and no longer has the joy of the past. Everyone in the Chu family knows why, but no one can make Chu lianyue smile.
Chu small five more than once advised Chu lianyue, the most often said sentence is also Chu lianyue most disgusted sentence.
"Even your mother has accepted it. What else do you care about?"
Yes, even Zheng drank Zhuang ruomeng's tea and recognized her position in the Chu family. Why should Chu lianyue worry about it?
But Chu lianyue couldn't do it. Every time she saw Zhuang ruomeng and her son, she wanted to go up and fight. After Zhuang ruomeng gave birth to another daughter, Zheng's health became worse and worse. Chu lianyue's love for Chu's father and daughter was all gone.
Chu lianyue was extremely disappointed with her father. An aunt gave birth to her daughter according to her own food and clothing. Even many things were sent to Zhuang ruomeng and her daughter first, and they won't have a choice until they finish the election. However, Zheng's eyes were on them, but she never said anything.
Chu lianyue's words are less and less. She often stays with Zheng all day. She doesn't say a word except reading, writing and playing chess.
Uncle Chu's business became more and more extensive, and even the people in the palace came to buy from the Chu family.
Zhuang Rumeng often accompanies the Chu master in and out. Outsiders only know the Chu Zhuang family, but they don't know that the Chu Zheng family is the master mother of the Chu family.
When Chu lianyue goes out with her mother, the only thing she has to do is to do good deeds. She gives porridge here today, presents cloth there tomorrow, and often goes to some temples to chant Buddhist scriptures and donate oil money.
Every day, the Zheng family of Chu had to drink medicated food to recuperate themselves. The prescription was made by the imperial doctor in the palace, which was also the blessing of becoming an emperor merchant.
Zheng's servant girl was brought by Yuezhou. Her name was Yutang. She looked good, but she refused to get married. She was with her.
It's a pity that Yutang doesn't want to get married at all. She doesn't like the candidates proposed by Zheng. There are also rich families in the capital who take everyone's first-class servant girls as their housewives. The people proposed by Zheng are either the stewards of Chuang Tzu or the accountants in the government.
Yutang waited on Zheng's medicine jar day by day. Seeing that the people around aunt Zhuang wore gold and silver more and more, and could see the governor day by day, her heart became more and more restless. Until one day, the little butterfly beside Zhuang Rumeng found herself and gave her a birthday gift, which turned out to be a good jade bracelet.
Yutang looked at the bracelet lying in the brocade box, and her heart finally deviated.
