The old lady was sitting with her back to the door, pruning the flower branches on the big kang by the window.

“…… I chose one who can raise flowers! After listening to Wu's mother's reply, he laughed, "I finally married a granddaughter-in-law who likes flowers, and now I will be accompanied by someone to enjoy the flowers, and I will not be forced to force those little girls to reluctantly accompany me, an old woman, to see the flowers." ”

Mother Wu, who was standing respectfully in the middle of the ground, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Tian's mother frowned, "That treasure scarf ......" she seemed to hesitate and lengthened her voice, "It seems that you were only demoted to the third class a year ago." ”

The five fingers hanging by her side were tightly tensed, and Mother Wu's heart was pounding and staring at the old lady's back.

“…… What's going on in the junior house, let them toss it themselves. The old lady waved her hand behind her without looking back, "I'm old, no matter how much." ”

Exhaled, Wu's mother almost sat on the ground.

only to find that in just such an instant, her back was already drenched in sweat.

Cut off the last flower branch, threw the scissors onto the mahogany carved tray where Qingmei picked up the stump in her hand, and the old lady took the handkerchief handed by Zimei and wiped her hands.

When I turned around, I saw that Tian's mother was still standing in the middle of the ground with her head down.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was pondering something, and the old lady couldn't help but be stunned.

“…… Do you have anything else? He handed the handkerchief to Zimei and sat up straight.

Tian's mother was startled.

"Old Lady ......"

When she saw the little maid in one place, she wanted to speak and stopped.

The old lady waved her hand away, "What's the matter?" ”

"The slave thinks that the old lady is a little indulgent to the third grandmother, in the end she is too young, you are like this...... Easy...... Spoiled. After hesitating, Tian's mother said resolutely.

The old lady frowned, speechless.

"Because of Shui Zhi's matter, there are some things that are not easy to say, but ......" When the matter came, Tian's mother was a little hesitant in her voice.

"If you have something to say, just say it!" The old lady's voice was sonorous, "How can you learn to cower from people!" ”

"Yes." Tian's mother hurriedly responded, and said cautiously, "The slave heard that the slave of Lijing Pavilion made trouble on the day ......" said Zhao Qing about using the old lady, "The slave didn't believe it at first, and personally asked the mother-in-law at the time, and said that it was ordered by Mother Xue personally, and the third grandmother wanted to come over to intercede." ”

There were a lot of people at the gate of Lijing Pavilion that day, and these people would never dare to lie!

The old lady's face was ugly.

A light rain drifted outside the window.

The drizzle blew on the transparent glass windows, making a rustling sound, and the silence was exceptionally clear.

Hearing her own pounding heartbeat, Tian's mother turned upside down in her heart.

Do you want to continue to say a few words, or wait and see?

I don't know what the old lady thinks?

What does she think of this new third grandmother?

I was thinking about it in my heart, when I heard the old lady suddenly laugh.

Tian's mother raised her head in astonishment.

"Old Lady ......"

"I'm old, really old." The old lady laughed at herself half-jokingly, "I was calculated by a teenage girl." There was an indescribable vicissitudes in the tone that seemed to be gratifying.

"It's you who pity the juniors!"

The old lady burst into tears, "You don't have to comfort me. ”

Tian's mother's face changed color, and she was about to step forward with a handkerchief, but the old lady waved her hand to stop her, "You can sit down too." ”

Tian's mother was shocked.

After touching the teapot on the table that was still hot, he poured a cup and put it beside the old lady, and then carefully sat on the side of the kang.

"Old Lady ......"

"The third master is smart when he is young, he will teach everything once, play with me at the age of **, listen to the old man to the old lady, and can point out the loopholes in the old man's business, so that the old lady is happy, and has been taking him with him since then, for fear of delaying his literacy, and also spent a lot of money to hire a separate Mr. to go out with him...... "I didn't mention what happened just now, the old lady actually talked about the past, "The third master was fourteen years old when the old lady was critically ill, and when he was dying, he was determined to make him the head of the family, I read that although he was smart but too young, There are also the eldest son and grandson of the eldest son, who are not rightly named, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress the big house, and it will become a bad thing to make a fuss, and I will not agree to anything......" Speaking of sadness, the old lady was already in tears.

When the old lady just died, because she was dissatisfied with the establishment of Shen Huaiyu as the head of the family, the eldest lady made trouble in the mourning hall, and then stirred up trouble everywhere and opposed it everywhere. Thinking of those heart-pounding days, Tian's mother also cried.

While picking up the handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears, "The old lady's vision is still accurate, the third master has only been in charge for a few years, and the Shen family Guang Yushengtang has opened more than 40 branch numbers, involving grain, tea, cloth, medicinal materials, pawnshops and other industries, north to Beilouguan, south to Minzhou, there are Shen family shops, the third master also said that Yushengtang will be able to open to Shengjing City next year, and what can be opened to integrate the world's ticket house, but the opening of the ticket house is the last wish of Queen Taizu back then...... It's just that the old lady didn't expect him to ......" The voice paused, "People have good and bad luck, and the old lady mourns and changes." ”

After drinking a few sips of tea, the old lady stabilized her mood, "It was the old lady who later told me that one year he took the third master to Minzhou to inspect the tea market, and happened to meet Master Yunxuan, who traveled the world......"

Master Yunxuan?

Tian's mother was shocked.

Yun Xuan is a close disciple of Master Shijing, this person is thorough, famous for astrology, physiognomy, and prediction, long live Zeng Yukou personally praised, "...... The sun and the stars are like latitudes, in the hands of Aiqing, and everything is true. ”

It is said that when the queen mother was a young daughter, he had seen the photo, when the queen mother's father was just a three-grade waiter, and took his daughter out to show him, and immediately said that this woman was a noble person...... This woman has three difficulties in her life, and after she gets through it, it will be unspeakably expensive.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother was nine years old, she watched the dragon boat with her mother, fell into the water and almost died, and was rescued by the first emperor who was drinking on the flower boat next door; At the age of fourteen, he married the first emperor, at the age of sixteen, the first emperor fell ill and drove violently, the little Yongping Emperor at that time was only one year old, the mother and son were trapped in the Qiankun Palace by the first emperor's sixth brother Prince Li, forcing their mother and son to commit suicide and give way, it was the personal palace maid Bao Hairpin with the queen's blood edict to escape with her life, and found the queen's brother Honglu Temple Qing Zhao Yuanze, Zhao Yuanze held the blood edict marshal to lead the Zhao family to a thousand dead soldiers to break into the pro-army Commander's Mansion and directly assassinated the pro-army Captain, and persuaded Peng Yu, who was then the deputy lieutenant of the pro-army, to mobilize 30,000 pro-army to rescue the Queen Mother's mother and son.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager personally issued an edict to entitle Zhao Yuanze as Changyu Hou, and the sixteenth uncle of the first emperor, King Jin, was listed as the first assistant, and assisted the one-year-old Emperor Xiao Yongping to preside over the government.

In the rebellion of King Jin in the twenty-eighth year of Yongping, the mother and son of the Queen Mother were trapped in Yizhou for a year and a half, and finally were rescued by Zhao Yuanze, who was the only son of Changyu Hou, and Zhao Sheng, the only son of Changyu Hou, also blocked an arrow for Emperor Yongping in that battle and unfortunately died.

The three crises were all nine deaths and one life.

Since then, as Emperor Yongping has completely mastered the situation, the Queen Mother has also become the supreme above ten thousand people under one person, and the prophecy of that year has been fulfilled...... Master Yun Xuan was also highly valued by the Queen Mother and was named a national teacher.

The old lady actually met him back then!

Don't......

"Master Yun Xuan has shown the third master?" Tian's mother's voice trembled slightly.

This is the first time she has heard the old lady mention this matter, if so, why didn't Yun Xuan see the third master's longevity?

Even the people in the town said that Shen Huaiyu was too smart, he was a star in the sky, and when the time came, he would be picked up by the heavens, and his life would not be long.

"It's not like I've seen the ......," the old lady nodded, and shook her head again, "I didn't say anything about the third master's wealth and fortune, Yun Xuan only said that if the Shen family's lineage is passed on to the third master, it can protect the luck for a hundred years." Sighing, "The old lady tried his best to appoint him as the head of the family when he was dying, and because of this, I promised the old lady to help him suppress the big house before the third master was fledgling." ”

How so?

Tian's mother forgot to close her half-open mouth.

If the Shen family's luck can be guaranteed for a hundred years, why did Shen Huaiyu die early?

However, Yun Xuan's prestige is not false!

"As soon as the third master's body is pulled back, I hate it so much!" The old lady gritted her teeth, "If you are not the head of the family, you don't have to work so hard, why don't you ...... the third master" said in a choked voice.

Tian's mother hurriedly took a handkerchief to help wipe her tears.

"It's happened, old lady's day mourning......"

calmed down, the old lady continued, "When the old lady was alive, he said that the eldest master was too simple, his mind was not bright, and he listened to the eldest lady everywhere, he was not a big person at all, and the uncle was low-eyed and narrow-minded, and he was not worthy of the big responsibility, and the second and fourth masters were dedicated to studying and entering the office...... This family can only be supported by the third master. ”

Shinong industry and commerce, although the career is positive, but the Shen family has been doing business for generations, in addition to the ancestors who were given the three grades of Taoism, the descendants of the descendants occasionally want to enter the Shi are stopped at Xiucai, several generations have not even been a Jinshi, there has been no great achievements in the career, and therefore, in the eyes of the old lady, business is the right way.

"I originally thought that the third master was gone, the Shen family was finished, not to mention a hundred years of luck, the eldest master and the uncle could keep this bit of family business in front of them is the ancestral accumulation of virtue, until I heard that the third master still has blood and blood left in the world!"

"The old lady means this child?"

"I should have thought of it, since ancient times, the third master is so smart, he is not born to live a long life!" The old lady sighed, "Yun Xuan should have seen it a long time ago, the third grandmother has been breathing for two days, and she has come back to life, and there is nothing wrong with tossing the child so much, it can be seen that she is born rich and noble!" ”

The noble person of the Shen family is Shen Huaiyu's widow!

Slightly stunned, Mother Tian suddenly remembered Yun Xuan's master, Master Shi Jing, that is, Princess Shun, who predicted that she would come back from the dead, was the lady of the sky, and later Princess Shun really became the first Empress Taizu of Southern Chu!

"What does the old lady mean......" Tian's mother raised her head suddenly, and her hand holding the side of the kang couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The old lady nodded.

"Ever since I knew about this child, I have been worried that he will not be able to grow up smoothly, it's okay to have me, one day I close my eyes, not to mention the family property from the big house, orphans and widows, it's hard to say whether they can be swept out of the house......"

Thinking of the second wife's cowardly temperament and the eldest wife's narrow-mindedness, Tian's mother nodded involuntarily.

The old lady changed the topic, "Now that I see her like this, I am somewhat relieved." There was a sense of relief in her tone, "I didn't expect that looking at the delicate and weak, she would act so violently, and that decisive and responsible strength would have the shadow of the third master back then!" ”

That's why she's so maintained, right?

Suddenly woke up, and Tian's mother felt a sour feeling in her heart.

“…… Your granddaughter, let her stay at home for a few days, and then send her to the grange where I am married. When the old lady saw this, she knocked and said, "I must protect this child, and you must not embarrass her in the future!" ”
