In Yuzhou City, such a banquet is only held on annual festivals, which shows how happy General Xie is to have Ning Wan return home.
Mrs. Lin nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, father, I have already sent letters to my uncle and third brother. They have all replied and are on their way back!"
Old General Xie was extremely happy. It has been more than ten years. It has been rare for the old general to be so happy. Ning Wan saw it in his eyes and felt warm in his heart. Perhaps this is the so-called family, and it is the reason why Ning Wan has been missing for more than ten years.
Years of family affection.
The house prepared by the Xie family for Ning Wan was large enough to be independent and connected to the General's Mansion. When Mrs. Lin took her in, she explained it to her along the way.
"Every plant and tree here was designed and built by your father and several of your uncles. They were all your mother's preferences during her lifetime. The pavilions and pavilions were made by your third uncle, and every stone on them was made by
He carved it out of the best stones he found from all over the country! This lake attracts
It is the snow water on the top of the snow-capped mountains, and there are many rare fishes in it, which your uncle also found from everywhere! As for the layout and furnishings here, they were all brought by your second uncle.
Whenever he goes somewhere, he will bring back some gadgets and put them here!"
This place is like a treasure house, and it is located in the northwest, but it has the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water town. It is not easy to do it.
"I have heard my mother say since I was a child that my mother once traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. She liked the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River very much. My uncles are interested!" After Ning Wan finished speaking, Mrs. Lin nodded with a smile.
"As long as you like it! They have been looking forward to your return, and now that you are finally back, they have fulfilled their long-cherished wish!"
In addition to these pavilions, there is also a medicinal field in the backyard, which Ning Wan did not expect.
"Is this also prepared by the uncles?" After Ning Wan finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Lin shaking her head.
"It was prepared by your grandson, and the herbs in it were transplanted by him himself from the mountain. When your mother was little, she liked to take care of these flowers and plants, and she also knew some medical skills. On weekdays, there was a person in the house who had headaches and fever.
She can cure it!"
It turns out that studying medicine is also hereditary. This was what Ning Wan Weicheng thought of, because in the Duke's Mansion, I didn't hear that my mother had medical skills. But thinking about the birthmark on her face, Ning Wan guessed that it should be her mother's own.
Prepared medicine.
If it weren't for that birthmark, Ning Wan would not have remained unknown in the Duke's mansion for so many years. She probably knew that this appearance would become a sharp blade and kill Ning Wan in the future.
To prepare for a rainy day, Ning Wan's mood at the moment was a bit complicated.
"Aunt, can you take me to see my grandma?"
Mrs. Lin probably didn't expect that Ning Wan would be willing to meet Mrs. Xie, so she was a little surprised.
"Wan'er, don't you blame your grandmother? It was your grandmother who forced your mother to marry into the Duke's Mansion. If not..."
"If this were not the case, I would not exist, and the Xie family would not be in danger after the prince was convicted! Auntie, Ning Wan is not an ignorant person. As a junior, I should go and see you. This is
The etiquette my mother has given me since I was a child!"
Lin's eyes were a little red, she nodded slightly and held Ning Wan's hand.
"Good girl, if my mother-in-law sees you, she will definitely be happy!"
Mrs. Lin took Ning Wan to Mrs. Xie's residence. Looking at the desolation in the courtyard, Ning Wan was a little surprised.
"Grandma, she..."
"This is what my mother meant. For so many years, my mother has not allowed my father to enter this yard, and she has not allowed anyone to take care of this yard. This place is just like my mother's state of mind, desolate and sad!"
Ning Wan stood in the courtyard, feeling the cold wind around her. This was the worst courtyard in the general's mansion. It was damp, cold, and lifeless. She was just like the old lady in the house, just silently waiting for death to come.
"Mom, it's me, Jiaojiao, I'm bringing someone to see you!"
Lin Jiaojiao hurriedly took Ning Wan in. As soon as she entered, Ning Wan smelled a sour smell. The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and there was a faint sound of coughing.
"I told you not to bring anyone here, why are you...cough cough!" an old voice sounded, and Ning Wan took a look at the room. Thick curtains were hung to block out the sunlight outside.
Very clean, but with a musty smell.
Mrs. Lin went over excitedly and helped the old lady sit up. Madam Xie looked up and saw Ning Wan standing not far away.
"who is she?"
The old lady's eyes were dim and she couldn't see Ning Wan's face clearly, but she could faintly see a slim figure, which looked so familiar.
"Chunxiang, go and open the window curtain and let the old lady take a good look. Who is in front of you?"
Chunxiang nodded and went to open the window curtains. The sunlight came in and was about to shine on Ning Wan's face.
Mrs. Xie looked at Ning Wan and was stunned on the spot. Mrs. Lin also said to her: "Mom, look at her, does she look like sister Yingying?"
The old lady nodded, her whole body shaking with excitement, and she stretched out her hand towards Ning Wan.
"Child, come here, come here..."
Ning Wan slowly walked over, and the old lady naturally saw it more clearly, and she burst into tears.
