106 Is this how mother and daughter usually get along?!
Enter the door.
This is a large courtyard house similar to Yan Wulu's previous world.
And after entering the courtyard, Yan Wulu discovered that it was much larger than the "five bedrooms and two living rooms" he had imagined!
Moreover, there is actually an extremely large yard with flowers, plants and trees planted in it.
Yan Wulu just felt in his heart - it seems that the family where Zhang's mother helped wash clothes was quite wealthy.
Inside a suburban village.
Even if they have some money, except for the kind of landlords and squires who are almost invisible in the North, ordinary people cannot afford to buy servants to serve them.
So there were no servants in this big courtyard to stop him.
Yan Wulu and Zhang Chunhua tied their horses and went straight to the inner courtyard together.
Did Yan Wulu originally think Zhang Chunhua was so casual?
She is the most polite and dignified person in the palace, and there is no way she can tell the master here...
But before Yan Wulu could speak.
Zhang Chunhua had already stopped. She pointed to the prince and said -
"Your Majesty, please look, that is Chunhua's mother."
Yan Wulu looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Chunhua.
There, there was a rickety old woman cleaning the courtyard...
"Sure enough, Mother Zhang, as the biological mother of Prince Zhenbei's concubine, is still here sweeping the floors for others to make a living!"
Yan Wulu felt sad in his heart, and he thought to himself: "...I have neglected Chunhua too much, and this husband has done such a bad job."
Yan Wulu almost immediately stepped forward.
He snatched the broom from the rickety old woman's hand.
Yan Wulu remembered that Zhang Chunhua clearly said that her mother was as beautiful as a flower when she was young. Even though she is not as beautiful as before now, she is still less than forty years old.
result……
The rickety old woman in front of me has wrinkled and dry skin, withered fingers, and only a few teeth left in her mouth. How is it different from the 180-year-old woman?
Yan Wulu felt deeply that the other person's life had not been easy these years, and he spoke with emotion——
"Mother-in-law, Yan Lu (1) is late."
"...I'm really sorry. You don't need to clean this place, I'll help you!"
Yan Wulu said solemnly: "...Also, Chunhua, you are the same. Logically speaking, the crown prince's concubine has a lot of silver offerings. Even if I forget, how can you always ignore your mother?
?”
Yan Wulu said it with great justice.
The rickety old woman seemed stunned by his appearance...
But the next moment, a female voice came from further away in the same direction——
"Is my daughter back? My mother, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Mom, my daughter is back! She also brought her husband... Master, let's come back to see you." Zhang Chunhua waved to the distance in response, and his words were full of joy.
Yan Wulu was stunned in place...
He looked at the rickety old woman in front of him.
Obviously, although the old woman was old, her mind was still very clear. She also smiled slightly, took back the broom, continued sweeping the floor, and said -
"This young master made a mistake. I just help sweep the floor at the Zhang family and earn some change. I am not the master of the Zhang family."
Yan Wulu felt a little embarrassed for a moment...
He apologized again and again and quietly sneaked to Zhang Chunhua's side.
When Zhang Chunhua saw this, he also smiled and said to the old woman——
"Grandma Li, this is my young master."
It seems that Zhang Chunhua has actually been back several times. Otherwise, he would not have known the old lady Li in front of him.
"I know, I know." Old Mrs. Li smiled, "...the son-in-law of the Zhang family, I know. He is so handsome and has a good heart. Girl, you are lucky to be married."
Hearing the words "son-in-law of the Zhang family", Zhang Chunhua suddenly felt a burst of joy and excitement in his heart.
But she doesn't show it on her face...
Subconsciously pulling Yan Wulu beside him with one hand, Zhang Chunhua transgressed a little but didn't know it, and went directly towards the place where the female voice came from before.
…
Zhang's mother is nearly forty years old. Even though her condition is good, she is not as good as Jiang's mother in terms of maintenance.
But fortunately, she looks very healthy. She is the kind of strong woman who used to do farm work, not a sick young man who can only do laundry.
Mother Zhang’s eyesight is not good.
When I was young, I often stayed up late to become a prostitute and sell it for money. I overused my eyes in extremely dark environments, so much so that now I can no longer see people clearly, and I can only roughly make out a vague impression...
Zhang's mother was standing at the gate of the main house in the courtyard.
She was holding a lacquered wooden crutch in her hand, with a smile on her face, and her whole person looked both gentle and simple from a peasant family.
Because of Zhang Chunhua, Zhang's mother's life is actually not difficult at all. On the contrary, she now lives a very leisurely life... When she has nothing to do, she leads a dozen middle-aged and elderly women in the suburbs to practice Wuqinxi together.
It is said that people from the state government came to help teach this Wu Qin Opera...
"Mother." Zhang Chunhua shouted, then let go of Yan Wulu's hand and stepped forward.
Mother Zhang also vaguely saw her daughter's figure. She opened her hands slightly, as if she was about to hug Zhang Chunhua, and then...
...Zhang Chunhua approached, Zhang's mother raised the lacquered wood crutch in her hand and brought it down.
"You stinky girl, you still know how to come back! Tell me, how long ago was the last time you came back!"
"...and the letter I wrote to you, why didn't you reply?!"
Mother Zhang shouted while waving her cane.
However, Zhang Chunhua was obviously well prepared, and besides, his own sixth-level warrior strength was not something that an ordinary person like Zhang's mother could defeat?
Zhang Chunhua moved slightly several times and easily avoided the blows of the lacquered wooden crutch.
"Mom, you are getting more and more ruthless."
Zhang Chunhua said, taking a step back slightly and dodging another crutch, "...you didn't hit me when I came back last time, so don't waste your efforts this time."
"Mom, I have to hit you today!" Mother Zhang said harshly, not even remotely as gentle and loving as before.
And Zhang Chunhua was also jumping left and right, not as dignified as before... as if he had become a child.
This may not be a big deal to the two Zhangs in front of them.
It seems that they have been getting along like this for many years...
But this shocked Yan Wulu on the side and Old Lady Li in the distance at the same time... Is this how the mother and daughter usually get along?!

Information that can currently be released——
1. Before Zhang Chunhua and Yan Wulu visited Zhang’s mother together, Zhang Chunhua mentioned to Yan Wulu that her identity as a Zhenbei secret guard needed to be kept secret, so Zhang’s mother always thought that she was just an ordinary maid in the Zhenbei palace.
Later, Zhang Chunhua told Zhang's mother that he was married, but he did not say that it was the prince of Zhenbei. Zhang's mother only thought that he was from a family in Yanbei City. So Zhang Chunhua initially hoped that Yan Wulu could also keep this matter a secret from Zhang's mother.
Therefore, during the conversation, Yan Wulu kept calling himself "Yan Lu" under the pseudonym "Yan Lu".
