Thinking of what Grandma Chen San said last time, Yu Zhu became more and more worried, so she asked Lao Cui to hitch the car and go to Tan's house.

The Tan family is located in the old Shenge alley where high-ranking officials live. It is still a bit far away from where the nobles live. Yu Zhu drove for about an hour in the carriage before arriving. Hua Ruo helped Yu Zhu tidy up her makeup and clothes, and then held her hand. Yuzhu got off the car.

The Tan family had already received the letter. As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the Chuihua Gate, a maid came forward to salute and led them all the way to the old lady Tan's yard.

The old lady of the Tan family is an extremely thin old man, and her blue satin brocade-embellished flowered jacket seems to be dangling on her body. However, she looks good and has a very amiable smile, which makes her look a bit like an old child.

After sitting down after the ceremony, Yu Zhu expressed his apology for the intrusive visit: "...I said the wind is the rain, so don't blame me."

"Haha, it would be better for you young people to move around more and have deeper feelings. You will be able to talk about everything in the future... You came all the way to see Ruqing. I am not happy before it is too late." Old Mrs. Tan urged. The maid served tea and smiled to show that she didn't mind.

Then the old lady asked about grandmother Shi's illness, "I heard that she was ill and couldn't even go to your brother's full moon ceremony. How are you doing now?"

Yuzhu smiled and replied: "Don't worry, it's just that the maid was careless during the day and only closed the middle window, leaving the two left and right windows open... The old man is weak and feels a little heavy when he gets up and feels dizzy. Please excuse me. The imperial doctor went to see me and prescribed medicine, and now I am much better."

"Yes, that's the case for me too." Old Mrs. Tan shook her head and sighed: "If you don't accept old age, you just can't do it. Not to mention getting cold, even if you go to bed late, you won't feel well when you wake up the next morning."

Yu Zhu smiled sweetly, almost without holding his cheeks to look cute: "My grandmother often saw an imperial doctor named Wang who was very good at treating physical weakness. There seemed to be an ancestral pill that my grandmother took for a while. Now, I don’t get tired as easily as before.”

It must be said that Yu Zhu's appearance and temperament are very close to her elders. After going back and forth like this, when Mrs. Tan came in, she was surprised to find that her mother-in-law was already very affectionate to Yu Zhu.

Seeing Mrs. Tan come in, Yu Zhu stood up quickly to greet her.

After everyone sat down again, the old lady of the Tan family might have something to say, so the old lady called a maid and ordered: "Send Mrs. Cheng to the grandma's courtyard."

Yuzhu smiled and blessed her, turned around and followed the little maid away. When she was about to go out, she heard Mrs. Tan's voice: "Sister Han's hairpin-tying ceremony is..."

Yu Zhu smiled slightly, this is a serious big family with a large population, and there are all kinds of affairs all year round.

However, being a housewife should be a pleasure. When dealing with affairs, there are a room full of mothers in charge, and the momentum comes out when there are more people...

As he walked, his mind was filled with random thoughts. When he passed a lacquered door, the little maid reminded his feet, and Yu Zhu came to his senses.

As soon as I entered the lacquered door, I carefully looked at the scenery of Tan Mansion. The winding columns of the corridor were surrounded by two or three clusters of steep Taihu stones with seven holes and eight orifices, which were rugged and strange. There were sparse trees all around, red and red couplets carved with regular scripts, and several clumps of green bamboo planted at the corners. , flowers bloomed somewhere, and their sweet fragrance filled the atrium.

Although it's not big, it's a view every step of the way, which is very interesting.

After entering another round moon gate, we finally arrived at the courtyard where Ruqing lived.

The little maid smiled and left with a blessing, and Yu Zhu took Hua Ruo into the courtyard gate.

As soon as he walked under the eaves of the main house, Ruqing came out with the curtains raised and bumped into Yuzhu.

Ruqing suffered a little, and when she saw Yuzhu, she smiled and said: "I was about to go to greet you, but it was a step too late."

"Not too late, not too late, just right." Yu Zhu took her hand into the house, feeling a little sorry for her thinness, "It's early and you have to walk more, why bother."

Entering the house, I saw a Kang table set up on the Kang in front, with a set of tea sets with blue and white intertwined lotus patterns on it, and a half-old big red gold thread pillow to the west. There were three chairs beside the Kang.

It is also a half-old butterfly chair with silver pattern embroidery, and there is a four-fold carved ebony embroidered satin screen beside the wall.

Ruqing smiled and asked the maid to take the child out, and then said to Yuzhu: "This is your first time meeting... Brother Yuan is almost half a year older than your Brother Xi."

A moment later, a young woman came in with a child in her arms. Yu Zhu still vaguely remembered that she was the lively and lively personal maid named Feng Ling next to Ru Qing. It seemed that she had already married and became the mother in charge.

Holding the heavy and chubby brother Yuan in his arms, Yu Zhu teased him for a while before he couldn't bear it anymore and his arms were sore.

Ruqing took the child with a smile and kissed him lovingly on the cheek.

"...Sister Ruqing, did your delivery go smoothly? It's because you didn't take care of yourself after delivery. Why did you lose so much weight?" Yu Zhu still remembered holding her hand just now. It was thin and thin, and her fingertips were obviously hairy.

cold.

"Brother Yuan didn't like to make trouble when he was in my belly, and he didn't bother me much when he was born." Ru Qing gently patted the back of the boy in her arms and said with a wry smile, "I was not careful."

"What happened?"

Under Yu Zhu's questioning, Ruqing finally revealed the truth.

"When brother Yuan was first born, my mother-in-law and father-in-law were very happy to see that he was the eldest grandson of my eldest son. I was very tired at that time, so I made sure that the baby was fine and fell asleep."

"But when I woke up, I realized that something was wrong. My mother-in-law actually wanted to send my brother Yuan to Xikuoyuan to be raised by a few old mothers..."

After saying this, Ruqing was already crying bitterly, her voice choked with sobs, "...Isn't this...isn't it going to kill me?"

At that time, she was terribly tired, and her body felt as if she had been run over by a carriage. Before she could take a good look at what her son looked like, she heard the cold words of the maid sent by her mother-in-law, and she suddenly felt like the world was falling apart.

Trapped.

Yu Zhu clenched her fists and said angrily: "Why? Brother Yuan is her grandson. Besides, there is an old lady up there. How could she send her eldest grandson away so hastily?"

This is simply unbelievable. Could it be another stepmother?

That's not right, Mrs. Bai found out clearly at the beginning that the eldest young master of the Tan family is Mrs. Tan's only son, and he is a treasure.

Ruqing rolled down two more tears, flowing down her haggard cheeks, and dropped a drop on Brother Yuan's broad forehead: "You don't know, my mother-in-law looks at the educated and reasonable people, but she trusts the most.

Zhang’s Taoist mother-in-law said that she was the one who calculated that the prime minister passed the exam..."

He raised his head, with a hint of resentment in his eyes: "That evil-hearted woman got Brother Yuan's birth date, and finally calculated that the child was a lone star destined to be punished by the elders."

Yu Zhu was shocked. Although she had never studied numerology, she knew a little about it from reading books in Lin Yuanzhi's study when she was a child. This statement is too famous and too vicious.

The fate of a lonely star is the fate of a natural evil, the wife cannot protect the family property, marriage is difficult, and the person is lonely in his old age. The wife is tortured to suppress the children, and the widowed husband remarries. When young men and women meet, marriage is difficult to achieve, relatives are suppressed and friends are suppressed, six relatives are missing, and the brothers are weak.

"Does your mother-in-law believe it?" Yu Zhu was speechless. There was a Taoist woman who didn't know where she came from, and here was her own grandson. Mrs. Tan actually chose the Taoist woman.

Ruqing still felt sour when thinking about the scene at that time. She raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and then took a handkerchief to wipe Brother Yuan's face, "She believed it..."

"I refused to let her touch the child, and my husband also tried to persuade her... In the end, the trouble came to the old lady. Finally, the old lady stepped forward and took the initiative to drive away that Daoist Zhang." Ru Qing struggled to squeeze out a smile on her face.

, but it was even uglier than crying: "But since then, my mother-in-law has always disliked me no matter how she looked at me. She always found faults and kept crowding people into the room. My husband refused to go and I was sent to give him a lecture..."

Yu Zhu felt pity, took one of Ru Qing's hands and patted it, and asked in a low voice: "...Are many of them gone?"

Ruqing's face became a little better, "It's just coping... He also knows that the Taoist mother-in-law is not good, but he just can't persuade her, and it's difficult to be caught in the middle."

"Do you know how he persuaded me?"

"How to persuade?" Ru Qing repeated it doubtfully, and then said: "Doesn't it mean that Zhang Daopo made a mistake in his calculations? Brother Yuan's heaven is full and it is impossible to have that kind of fate."

Ahem, Yu Zhu resisted the urge to curse, what are these things? Although Master Tan is looking for his wife, she really looks down on a man who can't even manage the relationship between his mother and his wife.

In this world, it is true that an unfilial hat can kill many people. It is extremely unwise to have a conflict with your mother.

But you can think of another way, that is, you have to create evidence even if there is no evidence.

"Sister Ruqing, please be more at ease and think about who will take care of the child if you collapse." Yuzhu advised. Ruqing is too delicate and likes to ponder some things over and over in her heart. She must have eaten this this time.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Tan was so angry that she must have cried a lot of tears and felt depressed for a long time.

Mentioning this, Ruqing's tears fell again, "I didn't even tell my mother. She came to see me during the last full moon ceremony and asked me why I lost weight and whether I had been wronged..."

"Hey, hey, don't cry. Look, brother Yuan is watching. He's going to laugh at you, a mother-in-law." Yu Zhu hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and joked.

Seeing that Ruqing smiled and stopped crying, she continued: "Have you ever used Brother Yuan's birthday and horoscope to find some famous Taoist priests or abbots to calculate it?" Well, why did she think that those two numbers should be calculated?

The two names put together are very strange.

"Why haven't you thought about it?" Ru Qing gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "It's a pity that my second aunt ruined it. She told her for the first time that she had seen my husband's personal servant in the Taoist temple. As a result, not only did my mother-in-law not believe it,

From now on, I will no longer trust anyone else’s horoscopes.”

Alas, superstition is a must...

Yu Zhu sighed inwardly and said distressedly: "You are being bullied next to me." She picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and said softly: "Let me think about it..." (To be continued. If you like
