Three hundred and eighty-fifth chapters, the so-called emphasis on love and righteousness
Zhao An was taken to a living room by his mother-in-law. Seeing the gorgeous furniture and exquisite decoration in the living room, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
The maid's voice came from the door: "I've seen Madam."
The sound of Huan Pei came over, and the door curtain was lifted, and a young woman in gorgeous clothes appeared at the door. Her style was completely different from that of Zhou Yuniang in her memory. If it weren't for the familiar facial features, Zhao An would almost not believe it.
It turned out to be his cousin who was despised by his mother.
"Cousin..." Zhao An stood up suddenly, excited.
There was also a touch of excitement on Zhou's face, and her eyes immediately turned red again. The memories of her childhood came to her mind. The dissatisfaction and anger in the past were gone now. She took two steps before she wanted to step forward, but she suddenly stopped.
Thinking of what the third girl said, after calming down, he said with red eyes: "Cousin... Cousin, please sit down."
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and sat down on the chair.
Zhao An also sat down again, the maid brought tea, and then respectfully stepped aside.
"Cousin, are you okay at home? Is there anything going on with your aunt? Why did your cousin come to Beijing suddenly?" Mrs. Zhou said uncontrollably.
The previous letter was full of doubts, and Mrs. Zhou was not sure whether it was true or not, so she simply asked about it now that she saw the person.
"It's not going well at home. Suddenly there was a fire. My mother died in the fire and the whole house was burned down. I was taking care of the family affairs at home, but after waiting for a long time... I didn't come, so I wanted to come to the capital to have a look. Anyway, at home
There is no one around anymore." Zhao An lowered his head and said in embarrassment.
"Such a thing happened...aunt, she..." Mrs. Zhou cried. No matter how bad her aunt is, she is still her relative and elder.
"Cousin, the matter has passed. I can't sleep at home every night. I think of the time when my mother was here. My uncle and cousin were there at that time, and everyone was fine. If my uncle had listened to the advice and not left Beijing, if my cousin could have taken care of me at that time,
My uncle stopped us, everything might have been different, but now... we are the only two left."
Zhao An also felt sad when he said this. He turned his head and wiped the eye marks from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and his voice became even louder.
What happened back then has faded in Mrs. Zhou's memory. Many of the things she cared about at the time have become less important now that she sees her cousin in a panic and thinks about how her aunt is no longer there. Even if the facts are somewhat
Mrs. Zhou didn't feel anything if she came in or out.
She even felt that what her cousin said was reasonable. She nodded vigorously and held the handkerchief with trembling fingers. According to her original intention, of course she would keep her cousin in the house to take care of her.
"Cousin, what happened in the past is in the past. Now that you have arrived in the capital, don't think about these things anymore. Cousin will find a place to stay in the capital first," Mrs. Zhou said.
"I think so too. After all, the past... has passed. It's useless to think about anything. I just arrived in the capital today and found out about the Xuanping Hou Mansion. I came to see how my cousin is doing. If my cousin is doing well,
Forget it if it’s good, if you’re not doing well, your cousin will be there for you, so naturally you’ll have your cousin for you.”
Zhao An turned his head and said righteously.
These words moved Mrs. Zhou to tears again. Compared to her aunt, her cousin had always been very kind to her. Later, the two families regretted their marriage, which was also what the aunt meant. Her cousin had always been interested in her, and later her father took her with him in anger.
He left by himself, and now when the two of them met again, they were speechless and choked.
Behind the bead curtain in the inner room, Yu Xijiao was leaning on the couch, quietly listening to the movement outside, her eyes cold, it sounded like there was really nothing wrong with this cousin.
The words were also nice, and Mrs. Zhou was so moved that she choked several times with just a few words.
Two people were engaged to be married, but the man reneged on it, and now the elder who reneged on it is no longer here. If it hadn't been for some mistake, the two people would have gotten together now.
Mrs. Zhou may not have felt it herself, but she was moved more often today, which shows that she still has a good impression of this cousin.
This cousin is very sensational...
Mingyue gently brought a cup of tea in. Yu Xijiao picked it up, took a sip and put it down gently. Her long eyelashes fell down to cover up the darkness in her eyes.
She was sure that there was something wrong with this "cousin", but she didn't know what the problem with this "cousin" was. Now was the time for Mrs. Zhou to be completely obedient to this cousin. If she hadn't approached Mrs. Zhou before, she would have been directly to her now.
Let this cousin live in Xuanpinghou Mansion.
"Cousin, how are you living here?" Zhao An said this and looked around again. Everything around him made him envious and excited. He never expected that his cousin could actually become the equal of Marquis Xuanping.
My wife is also the wife of the Hou family. Who would have thought that my cousin, whom I didn't like much in the past, would be so lucky.
"I'm fine, cousin, don't worry." Mrs. Zhou wiped her eye marks with a handkerchief and said.
Zhao An sighed: "Don't worry, how can I rest assured? I haven't been able to rest assured since my uncle took you away from the capital. I also wanted to chase you to the capital, but my mother refused to let you go and threatened her with death. I could only
I stayed here to comfort my mother first, thinking that when my mother calmed down, I would definitely think about the brother-sister relationship with my uncle, but who knew you would write to me later and say..."
Zhao An was in unbearable pain when he said this, and his eyes were red: "Something happened to my uncle, and you...you actually entered the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion. I was about to go to Beijing at that time. I didn't expect that something happened to my mother again, so I could only
I sent someone a letter first, and I'm dealing with my mother's funeral at home, and I'm also waiting for news about my cousin. So, has the letter...did your cousin receive it?"
"The letter... I received it. Is the letter really written by my cousin?" Speaking of the letter, Mrs. Zhou asked.
"Of course I wrote it, is there anything wrong?" Zhao An asked in surprise.
"No... nothing is wrong. You can let others see the letter from my cousin when it comes in." Mrs. Zhou's vague explanation was also an explanation to herself. After thinking about it, she felt that the letter was true.
I was afraid that something unexpected might happen again when I wrote back, so now it’s enough to say twice.
"I was waiting at home...if he didn't come, I really didn't know the specific situation, so I packed my bags and went to Beijing." Zhao An said again.
These few words contained a vague meaning of waiting for Mrs. Zhou to return. After returning, the two of them would officially get married. Although Mrs. Zhou didn't mean this, she saw the affection between the lines of her cousin's words and thought of her cousin rushing to Beijing all the way.
, more and more moved.
After the two people talked some more, Zhao An said that he would not disturb Mrs. Zhou and wanted to leave.
Mrs. Zhou didn't allow him to leave just like that, and asked him to stay temporarily in the guest courtyard of Xuanpinghou Mansion. She said that she would ask someone to find a house for him outside, so he would stay in Xuanpinghou Mansion temporarily for the next few days.
Zhao An naturally refused, explaining that he only came to Beijing to confirm whether Mrs. Zhou was doing well. Now that she was doing well, he didn't think so, and he would find a place to live outside.
The two cousins wanted each other to agree to their ideas, and each gave many reasons. Finally, Mrs. Zhou persuaded Zhao An to settle down in the outer courtyard of Xuanping Hou Mansion.
The mother-in-law took Zhao An down to settle things first. Mrs. Zhou was still wiping tears while looking at Zhao An's back. The two of them had come to this point by some strange combination of circumstances. Now that I think about it, I still feel sad. If it hadn't been for my aunt's objection, if it hadn't been for my father,
After leaving, the two people must be together now.
"Mrs. Zhou, what do you think of your cousin?" Yu Xijiao slowly walked out as the bead curtain behind her was lifted, and she sat down on a chair on the side and asked.
"My cousin is a person who values affection and righteousness, and that's how he was in the beginning." Mrs. Zhou wiped the corners of her eyes again and said.
"What aspect is Mrs. Zhou referring to?" Yu Xijiao was silent for a moment and then smiled.
These words choked Mrs. Zhou, and the handkerchief stopped at the corner of her eyes. Then she bit her lip, feeling a little embarrassed. She felt that the third girl had some misunderstanding about her cousin. She had been trying to stop her since she knew her cousin was coming.
.
"Third girl, my cousin has been very affectionate and righteous since he was a child. No matter what direction he goes in, he is very good. No matter how good his studies are, my father has praised me before and said that my cousin will definitely be successful in the future, but he is just unlucky.
The more you practice it, the better it will become." Mrs. Zhou thought of what her father said and became even more sad.
He lowered his head sadly, his cousin was just a scholar now, not because he was not good at learning, but because he was unlucky. My father said that after reading my cousin’s past articles, he would definitely gain fame. My cousin’s repeated failure was also because of his bad luck.
My father always valued and liked my cousin.
"Mrs. Zhou, if you make your cousin value affection and righteousness, won't you miss old friendships?" Yu Xijiao asked noncommittally.
Mrs. Zhou nodded hurriedly, "Three girls also heard it. My cousin came to Beijing this time entirely because of me. He is not worried about how I am doing in Beijing. Moreover, he has been there before when he was at home..."
At this point, Mrs. Zhou knew that she had made a mistake, so she hurriedly stopped, smiled awkwardly, and didn't know how to continue.
"Cousin Ling attaches great importance to love and righteousness. Cousin Ling has been waiting at home for news about Mrs. Zhou. Now that he is coming to Beijing for Mrs. Zhou, his purpose is obvious. Everything is for Mrs. Zhou." Yu Xijiao stepped back.
She leaned closer, her voice was very soft, but it carried a bit of power that made Mrs. Zhou's heart palpitate.
Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale slightly.
"Mrs. Zhou, you are such a person who values love and justice. You also know everything about Mrs. Zhou. You have done so much for Mrs. Zhou. Now you are waiting for Mrs. Zhou. Then Mrs. Zhou... how will you deal with yourself?"
Yu Xijiao stared at Mrs. Zhou closely, her voice getting colder.
"I..." Mrs. Zhou was speechless.
"I won't ask how Mrs. Zhou is handling herself. I'll just ask what cousin Ling means. Does he really want to take away Mrs. Zhou? All this so-called love and justice falls on Mrs. Zhou? Then what does he plan to do?
?If you don’t take Mrs. Zhou away, do you plan to stay with Mrs. Zhou for the rest of your life?”
Yu Xijiao continued to ask.
Don't leave, don't leave. The so-called love and righteousness means staying beside Mrs. Zhou in a sticky manner, talking about the past, talking about the old things that two people got engaged and missed, and saying that they have been waiting for Mrs. Zhou, in Yu Xi
From Jiao's point of view, this cousin is as affectionate as Chu Zihan!
Mrs. Zhou was overwhelmed by her momentum and looked at Yu Xijiao in astonishment. Her head was buzzing and she didn't know how to respond...
