Cui Weizhen was busier and busier day by day, and the time to go to the Yamen was getting later and later. Ye Zhenzhen knew that he was in a difficult situation now and did not dare to harass him with his family's petty feud. However, she had to discuss countermeasures with him about Aunt Cui.
On this day, Cui Weizhen returned to the mansion after it was dark again. Ye Zhenzhen quickly asked someone to bring the prepared dinner to him and served him personally.
Now he hardly has time to have dinner with his family.
"In the future, let me have your dinner delivered to you." Ye Zhenzhen said, "Having dinner so late every day is not good for your health."
Cui Weizhen shook his head: "No need to bother, I am not in the Yamen every day."
He is returning late now. It is not because he is busy with official duties in the yamen. He occasionally needs to go out to seek business with his colleagues. Although there are wine and food banquets to serve him, he is not used to eating outside food. He will eat more after returning home to feel at ease.
Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to give up.
Cui Weizhen didn't eat much today, he probably ate some outside. Ye Zhenzhen asked someone to take away the food. After the couple returned to the room, she talked about her plans.
"When will uncle leave to return to Taiyuan? My mother has been thinking about my grandfather and grandmother. If I go back early, I can teach her to feel at ease."
Aunt Cui didn't know about Wang Shiyu's imprisonment, and her family had been hiding it from her.
Cui Weizhen then understood Ye Zhenzhen's intention and held his wife's hand gratefully: "Zhen'er, thank you."
Ye Zhenzhen looked at him angrily: "Why do you need to say such unorthodox words?"
Cui Weizhen's facial features softened: "I just asked my uncle today about his plans. He plans to return to Taiyuan in three days, and then go to Suzhou to take office after returning to his hometown."
Yes, officials must take office within one month after receiving their appointment. Wang Junshen cannot stay too long.
Ye Zhenzhen stood up quickly: "I have to go and tell mother."
Before he could go out, he was pulled back by Cui Weizhen: "Look at your impatience. I just told my mother when I paid her respects that the servants of Fuxiyuan have already started packing their luggage, so don't worry."
Ye Zhenzhen touched her nose in embarrassment, caring was confusing, but she forgot about it.
Cui Weizhen has been too busy recently, and Ye Zhenzhen is too embarrassed to harass him. The two of them have not been intimate for a long time. Now they hug each other closely, skin to skin, and the atmosphere gradually becomes ambiguous.
I don’t know who raised the head, their lips and teeth were so close to each other, and they were inseparable. Suddenly, Ye Zhenzhen was picked up in the air, and in the blink of an eye, she got into the bed, and the heavy gauze was lifted, hiding the rich spring scenery.
The next day, Cui Weizhen went to the office, Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming went to school, and Ye Zhenzhen got up in a daze. After breakfast, she went to Fuxi Courtyard.
Everyone in Fuxi Courtyard was busy, but not in a hurry. Ye Zhenzhen nodded repeatedly. After entering the main room, Aunt Cui was instructing the maid to pack things. Her old man had prepared them and took them back to her parents.
and gifts from nieces and nephews.
Ye Zhenzhen held her hand and sat down: "Mom, don't worry about it. Whatever you need to clean up, I will help you."
"No, no, you are so careless, how can you know what I want to clean up? I can just do it myself."
Ye Zhenzhen: "..." You didn't dislike me so much before.
Looking at the high-spirited Aunt Cui, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. It could be seen that the old lady was very happy to be able to go home to visit her relatives. She was full of energy and didn't look tired at all after working so hard. It was very different from her usual appearance.
Different places.
Being able to go home to visit relatives is naturally a happy thing. Not to mention Aunt Cui, if it were Ye Zhenzhen who knew that she could go back to her parents in the future, she would be so excited that she would not even be able to sleep.
It's great to have a home to return to.
Ye Zhenzhen was happy for Aunt Cui from the bottom of her heart. During the intermission, she suggested: "Mom, if you rarely go back, you should stay for a year and a half and spend time with your grandfather and grandmother. We, the younger generation,
I cannot fulfill my filial piety in front of my elders, so I can only ask you."
Aunt Cui was a little moved, but more hesitant: "One and a half years is too long. I only plan to stay here for a few months."
"Mom, don't you trust us?"
Ye Zhenzhen saw through her thoughts at a glance and said with a smile: "We can all take care of ourselves, what does mother have to worry about? Could it be that she can't bear to part with her grandson?"
Aunt Cui nodded calmly: "Wangzi is my baby, I can't bear to leave him for too long."
"I know my mother prefers that brat."
Ye Zhenzhen deliberately showed a jealous look, which made Aunt Cui burst into laughter, and then she continued: "That boy is too dependent on you. It's good to temper his temperament when you're not here. If you have time, let him
Wei Zhen took him back to Taiyuan so that his two great-grandfathers could meet that boy."
Aunt Cui was moved.
Ye Zhenzhen took advantage of the victory and continued to say: "Mom, you can't just think about Wangzi, you also have to feel sorry for us. You have been living in Taiyuan for a few months, and the weather is getting colder. If you rush back at that time, wouldn't you teach us a lesson?"
Wei Zhen and I are worried? Why not spend more time with our grandpa for us?"
"But you have a sharp mouth. I can't tell you what you are saying."
Aunt Cui smiled and complained, but judging from her attitude, she had already agreed.
Ye Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief. If Aunt Cui continued to stay in the capital, there would always be a risk of leaking the news. Taiyuan was far away from the capital and there were not so many disputes. It would be best to let her go and recuperate for a while.
Now that we have decided to extend the time, the things we packed before are no longer enough.
Ye Zhenzhen opened the warehouse and added a lot of fabrics, coats, furs, bird's nests, medicinal materials and other things. As for Aunt Cui's personal belongings, she had two sets, which were packed in advance, so there was no need to rush when setting off.
When Cui Zhiduan learned that his grandmother was going to Taiyuan, he was very reluctant to leave her. He has been sticking to his grandmother for the past few days and refused to leave. Whether he was doing homework or resting at night, he stayed at Fuxi Courtyard and never left.
The grandson's clinginess made Aunt Cui both distressed and reluctant to leave. She almost didn't want to leave the capital. Cui Weizhen and Ye Zhenzhen talked hard to persuade the old man to stop. Cui Zhiduan was also secretly warned by his parents, so he didn't dare to act like a child.
, which made my grandmother worried.
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was finally time to set off back to Taiyuan.
It was not Xiu Mu's day. Cui Weizhen, Cui Zhiduan, and Cui Zhiming all took leave and went out of the city with Ye Zhenzhen to say goodbye. Aunt Cui's eyes were red and she was reluctant to leave. She had a thousand words to say before leaving, and she held the hands of her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
There were countless instructions and endless words to say, endless expressions of concern, and the hands that were tightly clenched could not bear to let go.
Wang Junshen urged her several times, and Aunt Cui had no choice but to let go of her hand. The sadness of farewell was as thick as the morning mist. Ye Zhenzhen broke the willows to say goodbye. When Aunt Cui got on the carriage, she couldn't help but blush.
As the carriage went further and further away, Cui Zhiduan, who had been pretending to be strong, finally burst into tears.
