Chapter 655 The old lady shows you a hand
Faced with the scorching sunlight, Liu Zongquan rushed to Wuchang Bo Mansion.
The people below led him to Wuchangbo's study.
Liu Zongquan stepped in, and his grandfather Wuchang, who was separated by the room, stood by the back window.
Yes, Liu Zongquan's mother was not the old man's biological son, but the niece.
That room was not outstanding, so when you were walking outside, you would also have to raise Liu Zongquan's identity when you were under the ranks of the fourth hall. You never mentioned this "separated room" in your words. Over time, the fourth princes all called the old man Liu Zongquan's grandfather.
He could not see the other person's expression, but the old man's mood was imaginable at this moment.
Not much better.
"Let me find a way for your grandfather?" The old man turned around when he heard his greetings, looked at him deeply, and shook his head, "What do you think I can do for him?"
Liu Zongquan lowered his eyes and said, "You have been in the court for many years and have many friends. Can you please help me find out what Sansi plans to deal with his grandfather?"
"Make a friend?" The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He had many friends at the beginning.
Some stayed in Lin'an, and some followed the late emperor to move the capital to Beijing.
The relationship between the court is changing. Although their title of "Wuchang Bo" was hereditary, it gradually became an empty shell.
If you have a title and spare money, your storefront is still beautiful, and everyone is anxious inside.
Who cares about an empty shell?
Who doesn't want to speak well in the court?
They didn't want to stay away from the court and be idle. After thinking about it, they arrived with the Shen family through some old favors.
The Shen family was booming at that time, and those who followed the Shen family also wanted to show their strength.
But he watched him build a tall building, and then he saw the building collapse.
The Shen family is over, and the connections they have built around the Shen family are extremely hot.
Let's split, fight alone; continue to hang out, and sooner or later you will be dealt with by the emperor.
"I have retired for many years, and your uncle has also been awarded for many years. He is the one who decides this family now," said the old man. "I am also anxious when I see something happening to Lord Liu in the two families. But this old face is worthless now."
Liu Zongquan heard the old man's intention of ruling, and could not control his temper for a moment, and anger flashed in his eyes.
The old man saw it and didn't want to have more verbal disputes with him, so he turned around.
Liu Zongquan clenched his fists. If he retreated at this moment, he would have no chance. He said, "I want to ask the old lady to come forward and ask Mrs. Ding'an."
The old man glanced at him and knew that he was not giving up when he saw the Yellow River, so he finally sighed.
Forget it, after all, this child is also filial to his grandfather and running for their Liu family. There is nothing wrong with this.
"Go," said the old man, "I will say something to your uncle, and do my best."
Liu Zongquan left the study room and went to the backyard to meet the old lady.
Mrs. Wuchang Bo knew his purpose.
In the past two days, she has tossed and turned a lot. On the one hand, she felt that Liu Renfeng caused too much trouble and forced him to save him to cause trouble. On the other hand, she felt that it was a marriage in the end and wanted to support each other in the officialdom. The two thoughts were rolling around and each had the upper hand for a while.
When she saw Liu Zongquan at this moment, she saw that he looked so tired that he was about to cry, the old lady couldn't help feeling distressed.
The grandson born to the niece who was separated from the house was not close to the relatives, but the relationships over the years have been good and bad. But seeing that he is like this, he is still more "good", which makes me feel distressed.
This feeling of distress made me feel relieved.
"Don't worry," said Mrs. Wuchang, "I'll hand in the post now. No, I won't hand in the post. Just go to Yanzi Hutong."
I passed the prayer letter, and it took a long time to delay the time. If Mrs. Hou asked her to refuse, wouldn’t she have no chance to come to her house?
The old lady of Wuchang Bo packed up, prepared a carriage, and entered Yanzi Hutong.
In the inner courtyard, Mrs. Gui sipped in a small sip of mung bean cake.
As I am older, I have to pay attention to my food. I can't eat every meal. Adding some snacks in the middle is the most suitable for the old lady's body.
Even this mung bean cake was made by Madam Wu according to the old lady's preference. She added less sugar and the taste was light. Fortunately, it had a strong aroma, delicate and soft, and was very delicious.
Wen Yan also ate two pieces and said, "This mung bean cake is a good thing. Ebony licked it back and was covered with his beard."
Mrs. Gui laughed so hard.
Cao quickly stepped in and said, "Old lady, Mrs. Wuchang Bo is here."
Mrs. Gui said "Oh".
Wen Yan blinked: "I'll just say she has to come here."
"It's also difficult for her," Mrs. Gui asked Cao to invite guests in. She wiped her hands and sat down with her pillow. She also tidied her hair, making herself look very energetic, and said, "Sister Yan, my old woman shows you a hand."
Wen Yan had no intention of meeting Mrs. Wuchang, and she smiled and avoided her afterwards: "Then I'll listen to you talking to her here."
Mrs. Wuchang Bo stepped in.
Mrs. Gui greeted her and said, "A rare guest! Please sit down quickly. I have no legs and feet these two days, so I haven't gone out to greet you..."
"Old sister, why don't you welcome me?" Wuchang Bo's old lady smiled and sat down opposite Mrs. Gui, "Yeah, where are you having snacks?"
"Try it." Mrs. Gui smiled.
Mrs. Wuchang took a piece, put it in her mouth and took a sip, and savored it carefully.
Of course, taste is false, and observation is true.
Still, she looked around the furniture and decorations in the room and had a understanding of it in her heart.
Compared with Mrs. Hou's identity, it is indeed a bit simpler.
But it is reasonable. After all, Mrs. Hou was living in Beijing with her son, and not the entire Marquis’ Mansion was brought in. Many valuable things must have been left in Lin'an.
"Mung bean cake is good," said Mrs. Wuchang, "It is suitable for us old ladies, and you can use it if you have bad teeth."
"That's right? I'm so old and I'm going to give my younger generation a good fortune. I'm going to eat some good food while I still have the strength, right?" Mrs. Gui was happy. "I forgot to ask, why did you come here suddenly today? Alas, if you really want to talk to me, I've sent you a post. I'll pick a comfortable leg and foot over, which is spaciouser than my small place."
"I'm going to hide it from you," Mrs. Wuchang patted her face gently, "I don't want my old face anymore, come and ask you something. Our in-law Governor Liu was detained by the Sansi. Have you heard of this?"
"I told me yesterday when our Erlang came back," said Mrs. Gui, "Is it a big deal?"
