An old lady's life

After breakfast, the sky brightened. Two carriages stopped at the gate of Zhuangzi. Emperor Changping bid farewell to Ai Cao. Lou Gao clasped his fists and jumped into the carriage. After Yu Yang and the others got into the carriage, he drove away.

Ai Cao planned to wait for them to leave before leaving, Yu Yang rolled his eyes, walked up to Ai Cao instead, and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, Ma'am, I want to ask something."

Ai Cao raised her eyebrows and nodded, Yu Yang said: "Madam, what does that handsome guy of yours mean? Brother, he has been struggling with this issue." They are the imperial guards. If they lead an army, they can become generals, but that is The more difficult thing is that they are good at martial arts, but it doesn't mean they can become generals.

Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on Ai Cao's face, and she looked at Yu Yang jokingly, "In the eyes of the old lady, you are also a handsome guy. Handsome guy means a good-looking handsome man."

Yu Yang's face turned red suspiciously, he cupped his fists in a salute, took a quick step, and jumped onto the carriage three steps away from the carriage.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and after ten meters away, Yu Jiang lifted the curtain to block the air vent, "Yu Yang, what are you talking to the old lady about?"

Emperor Changping, who had closed his eyes, opened his eyes and glanced at the guards, but Yu Yang faltered and said nothing. Emperor Changping smiled softly: "But did you ask what the handsome guy means?"

Lou Gao's face turned red immediately, Yu Yang was sitting outside, the people in the carriage couldn't see the expression on his face, but he didn't dare to hide it when the master asked.

"The old lady said that a handsome guy means a good-looking man."

Emperor Changping smiled, and there was a burst of laughter in the carriage.

In the snow, deep marks were left on the shaft of the carriage, and Ai Cao and his party were about to set off on the road.They are two carriages, Ai Cao, Qingyao Qingzhi, and Nanny Chen are in one carriage, and now Hou Yuanlong is added.

Hou Yuanlong smiled and waved to his companions, "Brother Zhou, sister Xiao Qi, I will come back to see you."

Ai Cao couldn't help laughing, the child was quite relieved.

In the wind and snow, the two carriages moved forward slowly. Around noon, the carriages arrived at the gate of the city.

Hou Yuanlong opened his eyes and looked at the pedestrians outside and the guards standing straight at the gate of the city, grinning and said: "Old lady, those guard uncles are like uncles."

The carriages lined up to enter the city gate, and Ai Cao glanced at the guards standing upright on both sides, "Yes, these uncle guards are all amazing." Not to mention personal ethics, but from the perspective of professional attitude, soldiers are better than people of any profession. Both are strong.

Back at Lin's house, Jia Min had received news earlier that lunch had been prepared, and when he saw a group of people walking in in the front hall, he greeted them.

The old lady is kind, this is the image of a loving grandmother in Hou Yuanlong's imagination, except for the first aunt and second aunt who are kind to him, no one else has ever been so kind to him.

"Mother." Jia Min held Ai Cao on the other side, and Ai Cao patted her hand, stroking Xiao Yuanlong's little head, "This is Xiao Yuanlong, a very obedient child."

Hou Yuanlong glanced at Jia Min timidly, and Jia Min smiled and said with some pity: "The daughter-in-law already knows the situation, and is waiting for mother's order."

Sitting down in the front hall, the chief housekeeper, Lin Ye, was also there, and then Ai Cao said: "Butler Lin, you go to the house of Dr. Chen Wangjiang, Guozijian, and tell them that Xiao Yuanlong is at our house, and ask them to send someone to pick him up."

When Xiao Yuanlong heard this, he immediately raised his head, his eyeballs rolled around, asking his grandfather to pick him up?That's great, he can go to Jiang's house to accompany his grandfather.

How dare Lin Wen refuse to follow, and immediately exited the front hall, and asked someone to prepare a carriage to go to Jiang's house.

During lunch, Jia Min was surprised to see Xiao Yuanlong do it himself. This is the eldest son of Duke Xiu's mansion. As expected, since his mother is not around, the child is treated like nothing.

Ai Cao sighed: "It's good if you know how to eat yourself, so you don't have to rely on others blindly. Xiao Yuanlong will definitely become a talent in the future."

Jia Min took out a handkerchief to wipe the rice grains from the corner of Xiao Yuanlong's mouth, but Xiao Yuanlong took it by himself, wiped it carelessly with the handkerchief, and then smiled brightly at Jia Min.

"Thank you Aunt Min."

Jia Min's heart suddenly melted, what a well-behaved child.

In fact, Hou Yuanlong disappeared the day before yesterday, and the Hou family has sent countless people to look for it. The Wang family was cruel to the Jiang family, but before her niece gave birth to a boy, she still had a bit of love for Hou Yuanlong, and she definitely would not harm Hou Yuanlong at this time. Yes, after Hou Yuanlong's accident, the first person she suspected was Xiao Wang. Unfortunately, how could Xiao Wang admit it? Besides, Xiao Lu was not hers. Xiao Lu was an old lady/the person who arranged to serve Hou Yuanlong. After the incident, she couldn't be found, so Xiao Wang was there with her pregnant belly, not afraid at all.

After the kidnapper picked up Hou Yuanlong, he didn't leave the city on the same day. After taking Hou Yuanlong out of the city the next afternoon, he met other people in a ruined temple. Xiao Yuanlong took advantage of that time to escape, and it was snowing again, and his footprints were obvious. , so the gang of kidnappers followed Xiao Yuanlong closely, and it happened that Xiao Yuanlong was running towards the mountains and forests, and when he heard someone talking, he ran directly to the place where there were people.

Hou Hongwen sent people to search for it for a day, but they couldn't find it. Finally, they had to send people to tell Yue's family that poor Hou Yuanlong's grandfather hadn't recovered from the cold, and he was so angry that he fainted again.

At this moment, the entire Jiang family is frowning. Dr. Jiang is a teacher of the Imperial College, and his rank is fifth grade. He cannot be hooked up with court officials, but he teaches a lot of students. Dr. Jiang wakes up. Ask for help, the student's father is the official minister of Dali Temple, presumably with his help, it will be much easier to find someone.

Lin Wen knocked on the door of Jiang's house. The concierge was also trembling with fear. When he opened the door, he saw a strange man and asked, "Is there something wrong with this master?"

Lin Wen cupped his hands and saluted: "I am the housekeeper of the Lin family. My old lady told me to come and tell Dr. Jiang that Master Yuanlong, the doctor's grandson, is at Lin's house. Please ask the doctor to send someone to pick up Master Yuanlong."

The concierge was overjoyed, opened the door, and made an invitation gesture, "Steward Lin, please come inside." He turned his head and ran inside, Lin Wen could still hear the concierge's ear-shattering voice, "Master, uncle and second master, there is a foreigner There's news from the young master."

Lin Wen received unanimous hospitality from the Jiang family. Dr. Jiang asked Lin Wen several times regardless of whether he was in good condition or not. When he learned that his grandson was indeed in the Lin family, he immediately asked his eldest son to arrange a carriage and go to the Lin family with him to pick him up. people.

On the way to the Lin's house, Dr. Jiang calmed down. Then he remembered that he forgot to ask, did the Lin's family notify the Hou's?In the past two days, I was so anxious that I didn't think about why my grandson was lost?That's the Duke's mansion, there are a lot of people serving in the mansion, and the grandson is always accompanied by two servants, how could he look down on him?

Dr. Jiang entered Lin's house, and as soon as he reached the front yard, Hou Yuanlong galloped over.

"Grandpa." Hou Yuanlong hugged his grandfather's thigh, and Dr. Jiang's eyes were moist, hugging his lost grandson, one can imagine his mood.His old wife was in poor health. After her daughter passed away, she didn't last long, and she went with her. This grandson is the only blood left by her daughter. He must watch his grandson grow up, and he almost lost her. grandson.

Dr. Jiang asked his son to hug his grandson, and he took the lead to salute Hongye, "Thank you for your generous help." Dr. Jiang had already asked Lin Wen on the way, and Lin Wen also told him briefly that it was the old lady who sent someone to Zhuangzi Rescued Hou Yuanlong from the kidnapper.

Ai Cao waved her hand and lifted it up, "Doctor, you're being polite, don't give such a big gift. It was the boys in Zhuangzi who saved Xiao Yuanlong, and I just happened to bring Xiao Yuanlong back."

Jia Min is now standing behind the wormwood. She has already ordered the servant girl to serve tea, but Dr. Jiang can't wait, "Today, I will take my grandson back first. After I understand this matter, the old lady's kindness will bring Yuanlong to me in the future." Come say hello."

Ai Cao raised her arm falsely again, "Doctor, please feel free. The gang of kidnappers has been sent to Dali Temple. What the doctor needs to know is to go to the prison of Dali Temple."

The little handsome guy has amazing mobility. Last night, people sent the gang of kidnappers to Dali Temple.

Hou Yuanlong's suit was well wrapped by the old lady in the village before she left, but she didn't have time to wash it. The wormwood was also given to Hou Yuanlong by the servant girl, and Lin Wen sent the three of them away.

On the way back to Jiang’s house, Dr. Jiang asked his grandson, and learned that Xiao Lu handed over his grandson to the kidnapper. Dr. Jiang’s face turned blue with anger. up.

In the Lin family, Jia Min followed Ai Cao back to Huifang Courtyard. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down to talk. Only then did Jia Min understand the cause and effect, and Jia Min was stunned.

It turned out that there was such a husband-in-law and mother-in-law. Xiao Yuanlong's mother, the Jiang family, really had such a pair of mother and son.

"People's hearts are sinister, but you can't be a shadow of a snake. There are still good mothers-in-law and good step-mothers in this world. We have to learn from the past and learn from the past. It is better for people to be a person with a little conscience and a bottom line, otherwise they will be no different from animals." It's different. After such an experience, Xiao Yuanlong can grow up safely."

The child kidnapped by Kidnap is not only Xiao Yuanlong, but also entered Dali Temple. This matter will cause a lot of trouble, and it will only buy Xiao Yuanlong time to grow up.As for what will happen to the second wife, I'm afraid that everyone knows that she did it, but there is no evidence. At most, she will be reprimanded and neglected. Relentless.

In the afternoon, when Lin Hai came back from the yamen, he came to the Huifang Court before he could change his official uniform.Lin Hai also knew about the matter in the village, but he didn't know it in detail, so he couldn't wait to hear his mother's explanation.

Lin Hai's face darkened when he knew the danger in Zhuangzi last night. It seemed that the guards arranged for his mother were not enough, and only five or six people were not enough to deal with emergencies.

As for Mr. Qi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials that his mother mentioned, Lin Hai's expression was a little weird, because he only saw Mr. Qi yesterday, so it is impossible for him to run out of the city and spend the night in his own village.However, Lin Hai didn't make it clear that since that person has such great energy, it can be seen that his official position is not low. Let's talk about it after he understands the situation.
