Chapter 5, Chapter 1, see Mrs. Liu

"You don't recognize me?" Madam Xiao raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, making her happy and sad.

Tian Jiangwen said softly: "Although I forgot about many people in the past, I see that the nanny is very kind-hearted and knows that I must have treated me well in the past. It is not appropriate to gossip here. I also ask you to lead the way and let me meet Aunt Qin."

The Madam Xiao nodded quickly and took her into the door, and bypassed the screen wall. There were three downward halls. She walked dozens of steps along the corridor, passed the Yue Cave Gate, and came to a courtyard in all directions.

There were three or four maids standing in front of the upper porch, talking quietly with their sleeves. When they watched the person come, a maid came to him and asked, "But they came to see the wife?" But her eyes were staring straight at Tian Jiang's face.

"What's curious about?" Madam Xiao scolded in a cold voice: "It's unruly, and the wife's bird's nest porridge is still stewed in the kitchen. Can you go and see it?"

The maid stuck out her tongue, glanced at Tian Jiang again, and then hurriedly left.

A maid had already replied and put on a felt curtain. Tian Jiang entered the room. A haggard woman stood in the middle of the ground and stared at the big copper brazier in a daze. She heard the sound of the curtains. Then she looked up and looked stagnant. She paused for a while before speaking. Her voice trembled like Ye Er in the wind: "Are you really Shunyu?"

Tian Jiang knew that she was Liu, and she couldn't stop crying. She went forward and was about to bow and kneel down. Liu hugged her and started crying.

After Qin Zhong had an accident, Qin Yanzhao controlled the external affairs. She was in charge of internal affairs and could not helpless himself. Therefore, he could not be sad for his son and did not dare to disturb his wife when she was pregnant. Jian Yun cried every day and needed her to comfort him. At this moment, he suddenly saw Shun Yu, as if he had been waiting for a person who was heartbroken, and his anger was full of sorrow, as if he was strong and could not stop him.

I didn’t know how long I cried for the dark, as if I had shed all my tears for a lifetime!

Liu's emotions gradually calmed down. His eyes turned red and he took Shunyu to the kang to sit. Madam Xiao poured rolling tea and retreated outside the curtain to guard.

Liu wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Shunyu, combed the woman's head, and only wore a phoenix-title green hairpin, a green satin-shaped brocade jacket, a white-brown skirt, and a slender figure. His face was so slim that he rolled his cheeks, like pear blossoms hit by rain, and the lotus splashed by water, and it was so cute that he felt so painful.

In her memory, Shunyu, who tied her hair and wore a four-flat scarf, always wore a wide open, big blue round neck robe with blue edges, and looked like a young boy who was handsome and weak. At first glance, it was really hard to connect with the beautiful little woman in front of her. You need to look carefully before you find that some old shadows of the past are just a simple stroke of the painting.

"How did Uncle Qin happen?" Shun Yu asked: "The rumors are bizarre, I don't know which one is credible!"

Liu's heart was filled with sorrow. She took a breath and said, "When the master returned to his room that day, Jian Yun and I were making needles. He asked Yun'er in detail about the dowry, and told me to buy more, so that he would not lose his face. He also advised her how to be a wife and a daughter-in-law, and suggested that if I was devoted to the Buddha, I could go."

"At that time, I had a bad premonition, but I didn't care about it, and urged him to go to Aunt Zhao for a drink. "She had a little choked voice: "I heard from the servants mention that he had lost his temper with Yan Zhao in the study room at night. I thought that since Yan Zhao was appointed as the Minister of Works, they had become a normal argument for quarrels every few days, and it would not be too late to persuade him after he was relieved. Who would have found that he fell to the ground in the study room the next day and urgently asked the imperial physician for treatment. It was said that the charcoal qi was too severe to damage his brain and had no way to make things happen."

Shunyu's heart was as clear as a mirror at this time, Qin Zhong was proficient in medical principles and was cautious in nature, so he would not waste his life due to negligence in burning carbon. Moreover, he and Liu's words and deeds were obviously deliberate.

He must have suffered a huge disaster and did not want to survive... But what...is it related to Qin Yanzhao?

Shunyu was a little disbelief, and just said that, Madam Xiao replied loudly through the curtain: "The eldest master is here."

"Why did he come!" Liu was stunned for a moment, but saw Shunyu quickly pulling his shoes off the kang, hiding behind the three pine, cypress, orchid-patterned screens, and waved his hand at her.

.............

Qin Yanzhao walked into Liu's yard with heavy steps, looking around, no one was there, only Madam Xiao was guarding the porch, shrinking her neck and watching the cat and dog fight.

Hearing her feet rustled, she looked over alertly, and hurriedly spread through the curtain. The old woman's voice was hoarse, and she didn't shout at the top of her throat, fearing that the people in the room wouldn't know that he was coming...

Qin Yanzhao frowned and asked calmly: "Does my mother still meet guests in the room?"

"The old lady rested alone in the room and never saw a guest." Madam Xiao replied, looking a little flustered.

Qin Yanzhao's eyes were slightly dark, and he stopped talking. He accelerated his pace to the door, lifted up the curtain, and swept the sight of no one around him, only his mother sat on the kang and served tea.

"I heard that you were in the flower hall to entertain guests, how could you come to me if you have time?" Liu raised his face and asked in surprise.

Qin Yanzhao's eyes met her red and swollen eyes, and swallowed it back when he said to her mouth, and began to take off his robe. He said, "The wine has wet the clothes, come to my mother to change one."

Only then did Liu realize that his waist and abdomen were wet, so he quickly got off the kang and opened the cabinet to get clothes. Qin Yanzhao stared at another teacup on the kang table, and there was smoke. He asked indifferently: "I heard from Aunt Zhao that the wife of the official family came to visit her mother, and she has gone?"

Liu came over with a dark green pattern on the ground. He was holding a black green pattern and was waiting for him to put it on. After hearing the question, he hurriedly said, "It is the wife of Xiang Zhong, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. As soon as she left, you arrived."

Qin Yanzhao said "um" and closed his eyes. What were he expecting? Do you think Feng Shunyu would come?

How could she come when she is pregnant...

What's more, the scheming Chen Zetang... how could he allow her to come...

He silently put his straight clothes on his face, tightened his clothes, bowed to his mother, and lifted the curtain and left with his back.

Shunyu flashed out from behind the screen and smiled at Liu, "It's not too late. I came here sneakily and couldn't stay for more. Besides, my cousin was suspicious and was afraid that he would turn around again. He was going to leave. Aunt, take care of yourself. It's time to visit you again."

"Why did you leave?" Liu grabbed her hand and refused to let go: "You will accompany me again. I have a lot of words...before I have not said yet..."

....................................

Qin Yanzhao walked slowly with his hands behind his back. The cold wind in the winter garden was solemn and the flowers and trees were withered and destroyed. Only a tree of cold plums were proud of the snow. He went up to the Yanshui Bridge and stood a little. Seeing the dead fish with a belly-turning fish floating on the frozen water, the thoughts rising in his heart were complicated and difficult to write.

Suddenly, two maids chattered from the bridge, from far to near, one of them said, "I have the ability to remember everything I see. I glanced at the lady of the official, and it looked like a person."

Another person said, "Sister Qiaorong, don't keep it a secret. Just say who it is?"

The previous slight smile: "Like Master Feng who used to live in the mansion!"

He heard again: "But Mr. Feng, who went to the Imperial College to study in the province and the high school for the provincial examination, has been Jie Yuan? He has not shown up for a long time, but you still remember it!"

"How come you don't remember!" He said dissatisfied: "He often went to pay tribute to the old lady at that time, and I poured tea and water beside me, so I was very impressed. Now, Madam Xiao is also strange. I just took a few glances and she scolded me to the kitchen... "
