Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

Yuan Ma reminded softly from the side, "Old lady."

Only then did the old lady come back to her senses, she lowered her voice, pretending to be calm and dignified, "A while ago, you have been busy with the funeral in the mansion, you have worked hard! Why don't you take a good rest for a few days?"

Ruan Tao responded, "At first I was also worried about my mother's place, so I wanted to come and see it. I was always sick before, and I was afraid that I would pass on the sickness to my mother. Now that I'm better, of course I want to come to my mother's place to say hello."

Yuan Ma couldn't help looking at Ruan Tao.

Except today at the Huxin Pavilion, Madam Yuan also met Madam earlier, but in front of Madam today, Madam looks a little different from before.

This difference is in the spirit, but also in the speech and behavior.

When she was in the Huxin Pavilion, Yuan Ma didn't pay much attention to it, and now she noticed the difference.

Although my wife was born beautiful earlier, that kind of beauty is in appearance, but it lacks some gestures in front of her eyes, and the charm between her eyebrows and eyes.

It's obviously the same person, but it seems like two people...

Yuan Ma muttered in her heart.

It was earlier that Madam had always pretended to be confused, thinking that she would wait for Master Hou to return to the mansion; now Master Hou is 'gone', and Madam no longer pretends, she is what she looks like.

Apart from this explanation, Mama Yuan couldn't figure it out.

It's no wonder that the old lady was stunned before, even if she thought too much.

Ruan Tao continued, "It happened that there was a letter at home, and my daughter-in-law was afraid of delaying it, so I came to see my mother, as long as I didn't disturb my mother's rest."

After Ruan Tao finished speaking, he looked at his mother beside him.

The old lady sat in the main seat, Ruan Tao sat on the side, and He Ma stood beside Ruan Tao to serve.After Ruan Tao winked, Mama He stepped forward and presented the brocade box in her hand.

Neither the old lady nor Yuan Ma thought of it.

Yuan Ma took it for the old lady, and handed it to the old lady with both hands.

The old lady opened it curiously.

See brocade box is a jade gourd pendant.

Yo gourd!

This old lady recognizes it!

The gourd is Fulu, adding blessings and longevity, and because the gourd has only one small opening, it can hold many things, so it has the meaning of attracting wealth.

The old lady doesn't like jade very much, emerald!

But this string of jade gourd pendants is so rare!

Those who like playing horse hangings, who doesn't have a lucky pendant like a jade gourd!

But this string of jade gourd pendants is exquisite in workmanship and pocket-sized, so it can be put in the sleeve pocket when riding a horse hanging, without showing the mountain or dew, and it is a good omen!

The old lady's liking can be seen in her eyes undisguised.

Mama He looked at Ruan Tao, who took a sip of tea calmly, and the two of them tacitly agreed.

The old lady of the Ruan family likes horse hangings. Of course, Mama He knows what the old lady likes. This string of jade gourd pendants is also given to her by the old lady.

If Madam doesn't like it herself, she puts it at the bottom of the box!

But where did the old lady see these?

It's not easy for Madam Fang to look for the old lady, and Mama Yuan can't understand it!

But the old lady liked the string of jade gourd pendants in her hand more and more. When she looked at Ruan Tao again, she even said in a different tone, "It's costing you!"

He didn't ask any other questions, and just said that it was a fee, which means it was charged.

Ruan Tao smiled and said, "What's the cost? My mother likes it. I haven't had time yet! Just two days ago, I heard from the doctor that my mother needs some auspicious pendants because of the invasion of wind and evil. Mother He just reminded me , or if I had forgotten earlier, it’s good that my mother doesn’t dislike it.”

Of course the old lady doesn't dislike it!

And the corners of his mouth couldn't even close his mouth!

Ruan Tao has really hit on what he likes!

But this is just a throwaway.

Only when the experience exceeds expectations will the old lady start to lean towards her from the heart.

"Mother, there is one more thing to tell mother."

Ruan Tao eloquently said, "I received a letter from my family yesterday. The Lord Hou passed away, and my family was sad. Originally, my family was going to come to mourn, but Jingzhong Road is far away, so it's not so fast. So, let me take the funeral expenses first and send it to my mother. Here, I hope mother will understand.”

I just received the jade gourd, now I'm talking about the funeral expenses.

The old lady could hardly hold back the smile on her face.

But Yuan Ma coughed twice as a reminder.

The old lady understood, and said in a deep voice, "Boyun passed away, you are more sad than my old lady, and it is also hard for you..."

"Defending the family and defending the country is a glorious death. Although I am sad, I can tell the difference. At least, my mother loves me at home." Ruan Tao pointed out.

The old lady just received the things, so of course it's hard to say anything.

Ruan Tao continued, "I heard from Uncle Song that Changge will return to the mansion today. The children in the mansion are still young. Since Lord Hou is gone, I should take good care of the children in the mansion for Lord Hou. Changge will be Those who will inherit the title, these things in the court are complicated, and when the Marquis is not around, someone must take care of them. My father and elder brother are both in Beijing. In the future, when there is a chance, I will bring Changge to Beijing, and see more people and things in Beijing, etc. When Changge grows up, someone has to carry the burden in the mansion."

(⊙o⊙)...

This awakened the old lady!

Changge is the eldest son!

It's not something that any Zhu family can teach!

There are some relations between Beijing and China, as well as people and things in the court, and they are not a widow of the Zhu family...

The old lady was a little stunned!

Ruan Tao thought that Bo Yun was dead, so he thought about how to take care of Changge.

But Zhu's here, really can't help at all.

Ruan Tao is right, swords have no eyes on the battlefield!

Today is suspended animation, what if in the future...

What is the origin of the old lady herself, the old lady knows herself!

She can't help Boyun anything!

She had been thinking about relying on her son earlier!

Never thought about this at all...

Seeing that the old lady was slightly stunned, Ruan Tao continued, "Mother doesn't know, Huai Bi is guilty, how many rewards the Nanping Marquis has received from the court over the years, and the land is rich, and every year's taxes have been put into the treasury. Others see our Nanping Marquis Why is it a piece of fat! It was good for Master Hou to be alive earlier, so others naturally dare not covet him, but now that Master Hou is gone, we are all orphans and widows in the Hou Mansion, so the Hou Mansion has to guard itself! Throughout the ages, starting a business is easy , It is difficult to keep a business. The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooking. You can't rely on others, but you can only count on Changge to keep the foundation of the Houfu. Therefore, although Changge is still young, he should know things. Not only reading, but also going to court. The complicated relationship between the two has to be put on the agenda."

The old lady was a little confused.

But generally understood!

Not to mention that the Zhu family has no one behind them, even the Yang family may not be able to give Changge much help!

But the Ruan family is different!

The Ruan family is still in court, in Beijing.

Father and son lived together in the same dynasty, and Ruan Tao was the daughter of the family...

It's hard for the old lady to think about it this way.

Suddenly today it seems to be enlightened!

In the past, Old Hou Ye and Boyun were there, but in the future...

The old lady was silent.

Mama Yuan also looked at her with admiration!

Madam didn't speak much earlier, but when she opened her mouth in Tongfuyuan today, every sentence hit the old lady's vitals!

Be it the jade gourd, the funeral expenses, including the Second Young Master's place later, and the consolation from the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid it's all in the old lady's heart!

Ruan Tao finished pointing, then suddenly changed the topic, "How can I say this is wrong, I came to my mother today, and my family asked me to send 3000 taels of funeral expenses, and they were all picked up. Right now, I am in the mother's garden. Take it to the treasury."
