Chapter 120

After playing the leaf card for a while, Mrs. Zhao asked Wang Xiushu to accompany her to the garden. He and Liang said they would arrange lunch and left.

By the side of a small lake in the government house, Mrs. Zhao was a little distracted when she looked at the distance. Wang Xiushu stood quietly behind the old lady. From her point of view, the old lady's eyes were moist.

"Shu'er, may I call you that?" May have noticed Wang Xiushu's look, so the old lady looked back at her gently and asked softly. Wang Xiushu nodded happily, naturally.

Mr. Zhao took her hand, and they stood by the fence together. Mrs. Zhao pointed to the attic not far away.

"Minmin lived in that attic. She was the only daughter of my father-in-law and I was proud of growing up. Her appearance follows me, but her temperament follows the country's Lord. She's a man of death

When it comes to her daughter Zhao Yumin, the old lady looks sad. That beautiful and wise daughter is the pride of her life and the unforgettable sorrow of her life. Seeing that Wang Xiushu didn't understand her words, she continued: "I know Min Min doesn't like Ruan Juan. She likes Ruan Susheng, the eccentric person of Pingnan Marquis house. But at that time, the Marquis house of Pingnan was prosperous. Ruan Juan fell in love with her, and the Marquis came to ask for his son's marriage in person."

"Our government was far behind the Pingnan marquis. I asked her if she really didn't want to marry, then I arranged for her to elope with Ruan Susheng. But the child is a sensible, Pingnan Houfu asked for the imperial edict, she was afraid of implicating the government, then she calmly married. After marriage, Ruan ju'an was still restless. After sending Tianqi out of the capital, I asked her to go back to the government with Ruan ju'an, but she didn't want to. In the end, she didn't stay in Pingnan. Our mother and daughter didn't even have time to see each other for the last time. "

At the end, Mrs. Zhao sobbed silently. She was sad when she thought of her sensible daughter. In this world, it is the most unspeakable pain in life for a white haired person to send a black haired person.

"I think my mother-in-law didn't want to let the government bear the blame. After all, when the new emperor ascended the throne, Pingnan Houfu was still at its best!" Wang Xiushu gently supported the old lady's shoulder, guessing the reason why her mother-in-law didn't want to make peace with Ruan Juan.

Wang Xiushu said these, the old lady did not know, but the more understand the more distressed the daughter.

"Shu'er, there are two things I want to tell you when I call you today."

Mrs. Zhao grasped Wang Xiushu's hand tightly with both hands, looked around, looked at Wang Xiushu cautiously, and then went on to say: "one is Min Min's dowry in those days. Although our government was not as good as it is now, we also prepared ten li red dowry for her. Tianqi was sent out of the capital. After Minmin went, where did the dowry go? Go back and find out, and then leave it to your husband and wife; Another is that I have doubts about Min Min's death. I know that Min Min's body is always healthy. Besides, she doesn't love Ruan Juan. Since she doesn't care, she won't care. How can she become melancholy and sick? "

Wang Xiushu's face was full of panic. She didn't expect that Mrs. Zhao would tell her this. My mother-in-law's dowry is easy to understand. For her mother-in-law's death, the old lady is so suspicious. Can't she say that there is a frightening conspiracy hidden in Pingnan Marquis's house?

Seeing Wang Xiushu's face changed greatly, Mrs. Zhao knew that she must have been frightened by herself. So he lowered his voice again and said, "the second point I told you is that you should not tell anyone except Tianqi, even mother Zhao. Do you understand? As for the dowry, you can let mother Zhao know, because she looked at a lot of Minmin's things

Mrs. Zhao didn't trust her mother, but the cause of her daughter's death. She didn't even talk about it. The more people know about such things, the more complicated things will become. If the daughter is really wronged, then she is bound to get justice for her daughter.

Seeing the old lady's cautious face, Wang Xiushu nodded in horror.

Wang Xiushu was absent-minded during her next trip to the government of Zhao, because of what Mrs. Zhao said. If Zhao Yumin's mother-in-law really died of injustice, who is the most likely person in Pingnan's residence?

Seeing that Wang Xiushu is out of her mind, Ruan Tianqi is very worried and wants to ask questions several times, but Zhao Yuandan stops the topic. Since his childhood, Zhao Yuandan, under the influence of his grandfather and father, has read thousands of books. He is very curious about Ruan Tianqi.

I'm curious not only about his hunting in Xiaoniu village, but also about what he's doing in Xijing camp. I just wish I could follow Ruan Tianqi to Xijing camp. The Duke of Zhao was very pleased to see that his two grandchildren got along well.

"Dan'er, Qi'er, you are the only two cousins in your generation at present. You should take care of each other in the future." Zhao Guogong stroked his beard and said that Zhao Jiayuan himself was Ding Xingwang, but when he came to his grandson's generation, he was a little bit upset. No one would like to be sparsely populated, not to mention the scholarly transmission of the Zhao government.

Zhao Yuandan likes his cousin Ruan Tianqi very much. Ruan Tianqi also thinks that Zhao Yuandan is different from the dandies in Pingnan Marquis's house, so they are willing to treat Fang as a brother. After listening to Zhao Guogong's words, they nodded and said that they knew.

Seeing Wang Xiushu's uneasiness, Mrs. Zhao patted her hand gently to comfort her. Perhaps the old lady's eyes were too warm and loving, Wang Xiushu even calmed down.

The atmosphere of the Zhao family is very warm. He and Liang specially went to the kitchen to have lunch, so the whole family had a good time. Just after lunch, Mrs. Zhao is going to have a lunch break, and Wang Xiushu, because she has something in her heart, wants to go back to Pingnan as soon as possible.

The Duke of Zhao stayed for a while. Seeing that they insisted on going back, he gave up.

"What's this?" Ruan Tianqi looked at the long box that Zhao Guogong asked people to move. He was puzzled.

Zhao Guogong looked at him with a smile. His eyes were loving and pure. Ruan Tianqi could see that it was the simple love of the elder to the younger“ This is our family's ancestral sword. Our ancestors once fought immediately. But later, the imperial court once emphasized literature and despised martial arts, so it laid particular stress on literature. After passing it down from generation to generation, it became a scholarly family. I'll give you this sword today. Don't forget that the Zhao government is always behind you. "

Maybe Zhao Guogong doesn't like to laugh very much at ordinary times. When he says this, it's a bit unnatural. He even glances at the old lady Zhao. The old lady Zhao rou'er winked at him mischievously. The curtain fell in Wang Xiushu's eyes, which surprised her. However, she saw the old lady smile at her again.

Wang Xiushu had to believe that this old lady was really different. Her temperament was much more pleasing than that of Pingnan Hou.

Ruan Tianqi took the long box and opened it in front of the crowd. Inside, he saw a long sword with a very old scabbard. Take out the long sword, but the body of the sword is very sharp, and there is a faint sound of dragon chanting.

"Thank you, Mr. Guogong." Ruan Tianqi really liked it. He knew it was a good sword when he saw it. He was also used to using the long sword. Although the green dragon sword that Ruan Zhanlin sent was good, he was not used to using it in the end.

"Why are you still called our grandfather? You should be called grandfather or grandfather."

The Duke of Zhao was very glad to see that Ruan Tianqi liked it, but he thought that he was a Taifu, so he should be more serious. As a result, Wang Xiushu took on the appearance of a strict teacher. She covered her mouth and snickered. He and Liang wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to.

Ruan Tianqi then kindly called his grandfather, and Mrs. Zhao also gave them a big gift, saying it was a supplementary gift. Ruan Tianqi and Wang Xiushu thank each other one by one, and they are ready to leave for Pingnan. They are just stunned when they see the pile of high gift boxes on the carriage.
