The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

"Come in." Zhen Ping said again with a sneer, turning sideways to lead the way for Yao.

Yao shi's carriage was parked at the entrance of the alley, and she didn't even bring Mrs. Fang with her.

She stepped into the yard.

If she didn't come, Zhen Ping was uneasy, and if she really came, Zhen Ping was even more uneasy.

There is no other reason, the yard is too simple.

There was nothing unusual on Yao shi's face.

If he knew that Yao Shi had been to a simpler courtyard than this one, and that her own daughter, son-in-law, and son had all lived there, he would understand why Yao Shi was so calm.

Zhen Ping welcomed Mrs. Yao into the main room, and said nervously and excitedly: "There is no hot tea, wait, I'll let Yuexiu cook a pot."

"Is her name Yuexiu?" Yao looked at him and asked.

Zhen Ping was taken aback for a moment, he didn't realize that he casually mentioned his wife's name, he thought it was inappropriate, but he couldn't take it back after he said it all.

He bite the bullet and said: "Yes, Yuexiu, she is not from the capital, but a businessman who came to the capital from other places."

"He's a nice guy." Yao said.

Zhen Ping didn't know how to respond to these words, he was embarrassed for a moment, then suddenly remembered the business, and said to Yao: "My mother is in the next room, I'll take you there, the house is really poor, I'm neglecting... I didn't expect You really will come... I'm glad you came..."

Zhen Ping spoke incoherently.

Yao shi wanted to say that you don't need to be nervous, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it might be the same for him.

Zhen Ping opened the thick cloth curtain and let Yao Shi enter the room first. Yao Shi bent slightly and walked under the curtain he opened.

This was the first time after more than ten years that the two were so close. Zhen Ping's nose was full of her breath, but Zhen Ping didn't let himself lose his composure. He tried his best to hold himself up high and not touch her. to her.

After Yao entered the room, he also entered the room.

There was a strong medicinal fragrance in the room.

I had a stroke a few years ago, and it's easy to smell after lying down for so long, but there is none in this room, which shows that the husband and wife took good care of the old man.

Mrs. Zhen was lying on the hospital bed, with gray hair, pale complexion, and looked haggard.

Yao's memory was suddenly brought back more than ten years ago. Mrs. Zhen had a very aggressive temper, and she was stronger than a man when she worked. Who would have expected that she would be lying on the hospital bed like this one day.

She groaned one after another, as if enduring great pain.

Yao shi didn't dare to take a second look, and hurriedly lowered his eyes, his nose sore.

Zhen Ping came to the bed, leaned over and gently touched his mother's forehead, and said, "Mother, do you see who is here?"

"Hmm..." Mrs. Zhen looked dizzily at the direction Zhen Ping was pointing at, and within a split second, her cloudy old eyes burst out with surprise, "Yao'er...Yao'er..."

Yao shi took a deep breath, held back tears, walked over as usual, and said with a slight smile, "Madam, it's me."

Mrs. Zhen stretched out her hand, wanting to sit up and take a good look at Mrs. Yao.

Yao Shi sat down beside the bed, moved towards her, and said: "Don't get up, it's snowing today and it's very cold.

"

"Yao'er still loves me." Mrs. Zhen said in a hoarse voice. She was a little slurred after the stroke, but she could hear that she was very happy.

Yao Shi married into the Marquis Mansion at the age of seventeen, and Gu Jiao and Gu Yan were left at the age of eighteen. Fifteen years later, they are only thirty-three now.

Years treated her very favorably and did not leave many traces on her face, except that her eyes lost the innocence and youthfulness of her childhood, but these were nothing to Mrs. Zhen.

Mrs. Zhen took Yao Shi's hand and was as happy as a child: "Are you married, Heping?"

Yao shi was startled, turned his head, and looked at Zhen Ping inexplicably.

Zhen Ping whispered: "My mother suffers from dementia, and she has forgotten many things, or she just can't remember clearly."

Yao Shi understands that it is really easy for people to get older.

Yao looked at Mrs. Zhen's expectant eyes and nodded, "Yes, we are married."

Zhen Ping's heart skipped a beat, and the circles around his eyes were red.

Madam Zhen suddenly smiled like a child.

Mrs. Zhen is actually not dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law Yuexiu. Yuexiu has been teaching her husband and children, serving her parents-in-law and working hard all these years.

It's just that Mrs. Zhen knew Yao shi first, she never thought that her son's marriage with Yao shi would undergo drastic changes, she had already considered Yao shi as her daughter-in-law in her heart.

In addition, one year Mrs. Zhen fell from a ladder and was seriously injured. It happened that Zhen Ping was going to take the provincial examination. In order not to distract Zhen Ping, Mrs. Yao secretly came out from Mrs. Yao every day to take care of Mrs. Zhen.

The two are not mother and daughter, but they are better than mother and daughter.

Later, when the Yao family came over and withdrew their marriage, Mrs. Zhen felt even more sad than her son.

This matter became her unfulfilled long-cherished wish, and she could not bear to mention it on weekdays, but she couldn't help it after she got dementia, and she kept talking about Yao'er all day long, why haven't you married Yao'er back home?

"Then you can't call me old lady, you should call me mother!" Old lady Zhen said like a child, with a serious face.

Yao choked and nodded: "Yes, mother."

Zhen Ping turned his back and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"Hey!" Mrs. Zhen smiled happily.

Yao shi put her skinny old hands under the quilt: "Be careful of catching a cold."

"I'm not cold." Mrs. Zhen said with a smile, thinking of something, she raised her right hand with difficulty to turn over the pillow on the left.

"What do you want? I'll help you." Yao stood up and said.

"The box, there... is a box." Mrs. Zhen said with difficulty.

A simple movement almost drained all her strength.

Yao shi leaned over and took out a small flat box from under the left end of the pillow.

This box is quite old, the engravings are more than ten years ago, and the paint on it has also come off, it can be seen that Mrs. Zhen often takes it out to look at it.

Mrs. Zhen took the box.

Her hands were trembling, even so, she still insisted on opening it by herself.

Inside is a pair of gold bracelets.

Condition is excellent.

The style is very old.

Mrs. Zhen picked up the bracelet tremblingly, and took Yao Shi's hand, but didn't put it on for a while because of the trembling.

Yao Shi saw beads of sweat popping out of her forehead.

"Mom, let me come." She said.

"Okay." Mrs. Zhen finally put the bracelet on for Mrs. Yao, "I said I gave it to you when we got married. The family conditions are not good, so I have wronged you."

Zhen Ping failed the provincial examination, and has been in a slump since then. He failed to pass the entrance examination for many years. Later, he figured it out and gave up the imperial examination.

This pair of heads was prepared by Mrs. Zhen more than ten years ago. She took all her dowry heads to a shop and melted them into a pair of gold bracelets, engraved with Yao's boudoir name - Yao.

This pair of bracelets has been lying on Mrs. Zhen's pillow for more than ten years, and Mrs. Zhen took it out to touch it if nothing happened.

Zhen Ping always knew that his mother had a very precious box, but he didn't know that it contained a wedding present for Yao Shi.

Of course, when Yuexiu passed by, Madam Zhen did not treat her badly, she lent money to buy Yuexiu a pair of gold-faced noodles.

It's just that the meaning is different.

Yao shi has been holding back since entering the room, but now she couldn't help it anymore, she hugged Mrs. Zhen's hand, tears streaming down her eyes!

Mrs. Zhen was terrified: "Why is Yao'er crying? Does she not like bracelets? Mother, mother will buy you a new one!"

Yao shi shook his head with tears in his eyes: "No... I like it very much... I really like it... Thank you, mother... I'm so happy..."

Mrs. Zhen waved her hand: "Oh, what's there to be happy about a pair of bracelets? Later, Ping'er will be admitted to the Juren master, let you be a Juren lady, and give you a lot of jewelry!"

Yao shi talked with Mrs. Zhen for a while.

Mrs. Zhen was sleepy, she held Yao Shi's hand and fell asleep.

Yao stayed in the room until Mrs. Zhen snored, then she gently took out her hand and tucked the quilt for Mrs. Zhen.

During the whole process, Zhen Ping in the room was in a state of being ignored by his mother.

"Go out and talk." Yao wiped away tears and said to Zhen Ping.

Zhen Ping opened the curtain to let Yao Shi go out first, and then he himself followed.

The two came to the hall.

There was hot tea in the main room, but there was no one there.

Thinking it was Yuexiu's tea, she put it down and left.

Zhen Ping took a deep breath and said to Yao Shi, "Sit down."

Yao shook his head: "I have to go, I'll give you this back."

She said, taking off the bracelet on her hand.

Zhen Ping hurriedly grabbed her hand. He intended to stop her, but after realizing that his actions were wrong, he let go again: "Sorry...I..."

"It's okay." Yao shook his head slightly.

She is very clear about his behavior, he is not a frivolous person.

Zhen Ping said: "The bracelet is for you, you can accept it, and my mother will feel at ease after accepting it. Otherwise, you can return it to me, and I will let her find out at home, and she should be stimulated again."

Yao shi thought about it, but didn't insist anymore.

"I'll see you off." Zhen Ping saw her intention to leave.

"No need." Yao said.

Zhen Ping smiled: "No, the door bolt is broken, even Yuexiu can't open it, and maybe you can't open it with all your strength."

Yao Shi didn't refuse again.

The two stepped onto the corridor together and headed for the front yard.

The house is very quiet.

Zhen Ping said suddenly: "Actually, I didn't expect that my mother would always yearn for my imperial examination. She told me back then that if you don't want to miss it, don't force it. We don't have to study to live. I thought she was sincere..."

After hearing what my mother said today, I realized that the long-cherished wish in her heart was not to marry Yao Shi as a daughter-in-law, but also to see her son's signature on the gold list.

He is very guilty.

Yao asked, "What did you do after you didn't go to school?"

Zhen Ping smiled: "I have done everything. I have been an elementary school teacher in a private school, I have been a bookkeeper in an inn, and I have also carried goods for others at the wharf... Now I make a small living by making tea."

He said, scratching his head, "Actually, life is not as difficult as you can see. The business has been good in the past two years. I bought a house on East Street, and I will move there next month."

"That's great." Yao said.

After that, there was another silence.

Yao shi opened his mouth: "My eldest brother..."

Zhen Ping waved his hand and interrupted her with a smile: "It's all over."

Yao said guiltily, "I'm sorry."

The Zhen family has only one son, Zhen Ping. One can imagine what kind of heartache she experienced when Zhen Ping was divorced by the Yao family and her legs were broken by Yao Yuan.

But after she developed dementia, she forgot all of this.

She forgave.

Yao shi's throat swelled again.

"Here we are." Zhen Ping said, he glanced at Yao Shi, his eyes were also red, he quickly lowered his head, "I'll open the door."

The two of them didn't say a word that shouldn't be said.

This may be the last time they meet in this life.

Something missed is missed.

There is no possibility of doing it again.

However, the moment Zhen Ping was about to open the latch, the sound of a carriage came from the door.

"here?"

"Yes! That's right here! I heard that man say it myself!"

It's Lord Gu and Gu Chenglin!

Yao's complexion changed!

Although Zhen Ping didn't recognize the voices of the two, he somehow felt that the other party was not kind. He stopped pulling the door latch, and looked back at Yao Shi.

Yao Shi really did not expect that Gu Chenglin would listen to the conversation between himself and Zhen Ping in the restaurant.

Moreover, Gu Chenglin brought Master Gu to catch his "traitor"!

Yao suddenly realized that things might not be that simple.

She asked Zhen Ping in a low voice: "Why did you go to that restaurant today?"

Zhen Ping said thoughtfully: "A guest asked me to go there to discuss business, but it's strange, I went there but didn't wait for him."

Yao shi said, "Is it a guest you met recently?"

Zhen Ping said: "That's right, what's the matter? Could it be that the guest has a problem?"

With the development of the matter to this point, if Mrs. Yao can't guess that it was Aunt Ling's handwriting, it will be unreasonable.

"I don't have time to explain to you now, is there a back door?" she asked.

Don't let Gu Houye see her here, Gu Houye will kill Zhen Ping!

Zhen Ping wondered: "Yes, but there are piles of firewood, and the door can only be opened if the firewood is removed..."

"Hey! Open the door! Inside, open the door!" Gu Chenglin began to slam the door, "Huang Zhong, kick the door open!"

Yao's complexion changed, and he was about to find a room to hide, when the door was kicked open with a bang!
