Ninety-second bowl of soup (2)
Said it was waiting for Qing Huan to finish her meal, but in fact the lady came when she just started eating, and sat beside Qing Huan all the time, giving her back vegetables, if Qing Huan was not convinced that she was not from this world, her body was her own Illuminated, I really thought I was an old acquaintance with this lady.
How should I put it, the lady looked at her as if a kind mother was looking at her child.
Then she continued to eat, and Madam continued to serve dishes, her eyes were loving and gentle, and she did not explain why she came until Qing Huan had finished eating.
Qing Huan was drinking almond tea, when she heard the other party's words, she was neither arrogant nor impatient, nor sad nor happy, but asked: "Isn't it too good for you to replace your daughter when your daughter dies? Do people recognize it?"
"Miss, don't worry." Mother Chen even changed her address. "My lady was cut off from her life when she was young, and she had to be raised in the Zhuangzi for fifteen years. It's just that the young lady was blessed with a serious disease, so no one knew that the young lady had passed away. My wife's people are all loyal and will not be found out. Miss will be the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Duke's mansion in the future, how can anyone dare to question you?"
Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears, "Master and I didn't want to do this, but our ancestors are elders. If they disobeyed, they would inevitably be unfilial. With Master Yunhai's verdict, we had to send our daughter to this village. She came to see her secretly with the master. On the night she went, I got the news and came quietly. I knelt in front of the Buddha for a night, but my son's life still couldn't be saved. When I returned to the mansion the next day, but You have to force yourself to smile so that others won't see the slightest difference, and the empress and the master cry together, but you're just a child, why can't you even live to be five years old?"
"After the lady left, in order not to let others notice, we still come to Zhuangzi once every six months. No one in the house knows about it except the old slave and the old man's wife. It's just that there is a reason for the matter now, and I can only ask you, Miss, to fulfill your love for my daughter." .”
Qing Huan saw the pain and suffering in Zhao's heart, and felt pity for a moment, "It's not impossible to help you, but I don't want to marry, even if I meet the prince, I may not be able to marry him."
"Master Yunhai said that as long as you agree to be my wife's daughter, miss, everything will come naturally, and let us let nature take its course." Mother Chen clenched her fists, "In any case, if the position of the crown princess is certain If you want the girl from the second room to do it, it is also destined, it is the fate of the master and wife."
Qing Huan sighed: "Since that's the case, then let's do it. I'll go back to the capital with you tomorrow."
Zhao's tears fell down, she held Qing Huan's hand, and the tears hit the back of Qing Huan's hand. She knew what such a request meant, and it wasn't a good thing. Such a good girl went into the fire pit in the Duke's mansion, and she didn't know what danger it would be. But their husband and wife have been pushed to the limit, as well as Ke'er and Che'er, if they don't follow what Master Yunhai said, their family will be doomed!
After finally sending away the guilty and crying Mrs. Zhao, Qing Huan went to bed after eating and drinking enough - she had made this idea from the beginning, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of time? She had already calculated the heavy rain today, and Mrs. Zhao would bring people to Zhuangzi. As long as she met her, the next thing would be expected.
But that Master Yunhai is very interesting, he can calculate such a result for Mrs. Zhao. Chen's mother said that Master Yunhai is a very famous eminent monk who attained the Tao. In layman's terms, he is the leader among the world's masters of Taoism. They are all very convinced. But such a master of Buddhism, whom ordinary people can't even see, actually personally approved the orders for the Zhao family twice, from the birth of Zhao's daughter to this time, asking Zhao to personally go to Zhuangzi to bring it back. The girl, I have to say, is very strange.
Mother Chen said that even if it was the emperor, Master Yunhai only approved it once.
It's really interesting.
In the morning of the next day, Qing Huan became the concubine's concubine who was raised by the Duke's family in the countryside for fifteen years because of her poor health. It takes three days to travel from Zhuangzi in the country to the capital. During these three days, Qing Huan fully realized what mother's love is.
Mrs. Zhao completely regarded her as the little girl who died young, and took care of her meticulously, as if holding her in her mouth for fear of melting, and holding her in her palm for fear of losing her. She didn't even pretend to be someone else, she took care of Qing Huan's basic necessities of life, as if she wanted to make up for what she owed her daughter all these years. For countless days and nights over the years, she has had that desperate dream. The daughter was sent to the countryside and had a fever. She and the master kept by their side desperately, kneeling in front of the Buddha all night, begging God not to be so cruel and take the little daughter away. But in the end, she still lost her daughter. What's ridiculous is that when she returned to the Duke's mansion, she still had to smile and behave in front of her ancestors.
Everyone was laughing, no one knew that her daughter died the night before, and no one knew how much her and the master's heart hurt. If it weren't for the fact that her two sons hadn't grown up, she would have been in such pain that she wished she could go with her daughter!
Now that Qing Huan is by her side, Zhao thinks it is her daughter who has returned. She should be so cute, so beautiful, so smart and well-behaved, she should have the best of everything in this world! Whether it is the status of the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, or the good marriage that everyone admires, it should not be taken away by others!
This time she will definitely protect her, she will.
The masters of the Duke's Mansion naturally knew that the big house was going to pick up the daughter who had been raised in the country for more than ten years, and that the other party was engaged to the prince, so they knew that the man would arrive in the morning, so they all wanted to see what happened. . It's just that they think highly of themselves and don't want to go to the door to greet them. When Qing Huan arrived, there were only some servants and three men at the door.
Mrs. Zhao got out of the car first, and then carefully helped her down, Qing Huan said with a smile: "Mother, I can do it by myself."
"Mother just wants to support you." Zhao Shi said.
After being helped out of the car by Mrs. Zhao, she saw three tall, similar-looking men in front of her. A middle-aged man with a beautiful beard, wearing a black python robe, with a serious and steady expression, and the two young men beside him, each with extraordinary temperament and handsome looks, each wearing a jade pendant around their waists. The smiling young man said: "Is this the younger sister? It really is like a fairy descending to earth."
Another young man seemed taciturn, he stretched out his hand to Qing Huan: "Sister, come here."
Qing Huan glanced at Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao wiped away her tears: "This monkey-like figure is your second elder brother, and the one who doesn't like to talk is your elder brother. They are all brothers of your own blood. One is five years older than you. The one who is four years older, and the hard-hearted man standing next to him is your father."
The old man was dumbfounded by his wife's words: "Ma'am, I'm not..."
"What are you not?" Mrs. Zhao sniffed, "I went to the countryside to pick up my daughter, but you didn't go, what are you not hard-hearted?"
Qing Huan then said: "Mother, don't be sad, Dad has a lot of reasons for wanting to come, otherwise why would he not go?" To be able to go to the countryside late at night to accompany his seriously ill daughter when his daughter was rejected by everyone, the Eldest Master is kind and generous. righteous people.
When Mrs. Zhao saw her daughter speaking for her husband, she immediately turned her face away: "You only saw this heartless side, so you don't want to be a mother?"
Qing Huan found that Zhao Shi was quite childish, she was afraid of losing her daughter, and now that she lost her daughter, she took Qing Huan as her everything. Qing Huan went up to hold Zhao Shi's hand, "How could it be? Mother is of course the most important thing."
The outstretched hand of the second brother Qi Che over there was also reached by her little hand: "I just came back, and I have to rely on the two brothers for everything."
Both Qi Che and his eldest brother Qi Ke knew about Master Yunhai's comments, and they were skeptical of what Master Yunhai said, and even didn't like this eminent monk who was praised by everyone, just because his one comment back then made them feel uneasy. The younger sister who was just born was sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside, where she died. Mother shed tears every night for this, but this matter should not be known to others. Even when she was sad, Da Fang could only cry secretly in the dead of night.
Now this younger sister, mother treats her so well, maybe it is really like Master Yunhai said, it is a treasure bestowed on them by heaven.
It is their blessing to say that their fate is unparalleled.
Qing Huan held Zhao's arm in one hand, and asked Qi Che to hold the other. The first time Qi Che held a girl's hand, he thought to himself, is this what my younger sister is like? She is delicate and soft, and she is prettier than all the younger sisters in the second and third families combined.
Qi Ke looked greedy, but his calm personality didn't show it, but said: "The ancestors are waiting, mother, sister, it's time for us to go in."
"Let's go, mother will take you to meet your ancestors and recognize them."
The old man walked behind his son, daughter and wife, quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, and then strode after him.
Although Mrs. Zhao didn't speak ill of the old ancestor, from the words of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhao, she probably knew about this old man. There are a total of three masters in the Duke's Mansion, all of whom are the legitimate sons of the old Duke, but the old Duke married two wives in his life.
Once was the biological mother of the Elder Master, childhood sweetheart with the old Duke, who earned glory from the army, so the biological mother of the Elder Master was ordinary, she was just the daughter of a teacher. But after marrying the old man, the husband and wife loved each other deeply, and soon became pregnant. Unfortunately, during childbirth, the old man's wife died of dystocia, and only left the old man as a son.
Later, the old Duke became more and more prestigious, and he was granted the title of title by the emperor, so he was taken by the lady of Yuanshan uncle's mansion at that time.
This is also the second wife of the old Duke, the biological mother of the second master and the third master.
