"Old madam, it's a little cold outside. Please help me go back to the house."
Mrs. He narrowed her eyes slightly and slowly got up from the recliner, "It's time to go back."
"Yes." Biyun also agreed, "When the sun sets, it will get even colder. The old lady needs to be careful of catching a cold."
"Yes." Mrs. He nodded, "You have to be careful."
Then he looked at Gui's mother and Biyun, "You go and clean up."
"Don't worry, Old Madam, the maid has already been cleaned up in the courtyard." Biyun thought that Madam He was talking about the recliners in the courtyard and the tea, cakes and other items on the table, and then said with a smile, "The maid has also been taken care of." Go and make new tea and bring new food.”
"But the old lady can't be greedy now. She will have dinner later. If she eats too many snacks, she will lose her appetite for dinner and eat less. She will easily be hungry before going to bed... ”
At that time, I had some late-night snacks, but I couldn't fall asleep right away, so I had to go to bed later.
As a result, the old lady will lie in bed in the morning, not eating breakfast on time, and just want to eat some snacks to cushion her lunch. In the afternoon, she will feel hungry again, and she will have snacks, and her dinner will not be delicious. Will be hungry...
Vicious cycle!
Hearing this, Mrs. He immediately frowned and said, "I'm not saying this anymore. I want you to pack your bags quickly!"
Packing?
Gui's mother and Biyun were stunned for a moment, and after a moment they realized what they were doing, and their brows were filled with joy.
Pack your bags!
The old lady is finally thinking about going home!
Gui's mother and Biyun were immediately happy, especially Gui's mother. Her face almost turned into a goldenrod with a smile, and she said with a smile, "I'm just waiting for the old lady to say this, and the old slave will die in a hurry." People go and pack things, arrange cars and horses to go.”
"My maid, hurry up and get busy." Biyun nodded her head like garlic, grinning almost to her ears, "Several lords, madams and young ladies in this family, if they know that the old lady wants to When I go home, I am afraid that I will be so happy that I have to go to worship Buddha. I will not be able to sleep at night, and I will have to crane my neck at the door day and night to look forward to it. ”
Mrs. He listened to the two people talking enthusiastically, her brows furrowed and her lips curled up, "Who said I'm going back?"
Don't you want to go back?
Gui's mother and Biyun were stunned again, suddenly confused.
“But didn’t the old lady just say that she needed to pack her luggage?”
"Yes, I mean to pack my bags, but not to go home."
"Where is the old lady going?"
"Go to the capital!"
Going to the capital?
Mother Gui and Biyun were even more surprised and puzzled, "Why did the old lady suddenly think of going to the capital?"
"It's been a long time since I've been to the capital, so I'm wondering." Mrs. He explained, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the capital must be very lively. It would be good to go and see the excitement."
< br>
"Besides, the old man in the palace has sent letters here several times, hoping that I can go and chat with her to relieve her boredom. If I don't go, I'm afraid she won't be able to show it off, and she needs to go there. , it can be considered as giving her face..."
I see!
Mother Gui and Biyun suddenly realized.
The He family is the head of today's aristocratic family. Mrs. He has a very high status and has a very good personal relationship with the current Queen Mother. It is normal for the Queen Mother to invite Mrs. He to the palace to reminisce about the past. But at the same time, I was also a little disappointed.
"I thought the old lady was going home. There will be a lively life at home this new year, but it turned out that the old lady was going to the capital..." Biyun sighed while packing her things.
"Yes." Gui's mother also nodded, but she also comforted herself and Biyun, "But you have to think like this. The old lady is willing to go to the capital. The Queen Mother is happy, and she must keep the old lady in the palace for a while. It seems that it is New Year's Eve, and the head of the He family will also go to the palace for the New Year's Eve banquet, which can be regarded as a family reunion. "
"If you think so, that's true." Biyun agreed.
After all, there is something that makes everyone in the He family happy.
"It's just that the Queen Mother has invited her many times before, but the old lady has never agreed. It's freezing cold today, and the old lady insists on going to the capital..." Biyun was a little worried.
Although Mrs. He is strong and healthy, she is old and has lived in a good life for many years. She has not moved her place in Dexinyuan. Suddenly she has to travel a long distance of more than a thousand miles. She is really worried that the old lady's health will not be able to bear it.
"Yes, why did the old lady choose this time?" Gui's mother was also full of anxiety.
After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes widened suddenly, "I remember that Madam Xia seemed to have visited a few days ago. She said that she was summoned by the Emperor and the Queen to go to the capital. I don't know when she will come back. So I can’t make food for the old lady during this period.”
"Yes, there is such a thing." Biyun was surprised, "Mother Gui means...the old lady suddenly wants to go to the capital, is it because of Lady Xia?"

No way.
It is true that the old lady likes Lady Xia very much, but is she willing to accompany Lady Xia to the capital?
"I think we are almost inseparable." Gui's mother sighed, "The old lady really loves Madam Xia."
After all, Xia Mingyue is going to the capital here. On the surface, she has great scenery, but in fact, there will be many pairs of eyes staring at her, hoping that something will go wrong.
Since the old lady went to the capital at this time, she wanted to support Madam Xia.
It can be said that the old lady's love for Madam Xia exceeds that of any descendant of the He family. If this were known to other people in the He family, they would be so envious that they would feel sour in their hearts.
I have to say that the old lady's work is still the same as before. She never pays attention to any principles or standards. It is all based on her own preferences. She is just happy!
So, as long as the old lady is happy, the rest...
unimportant!
Since you want to go to the capital, then just go.
When I arrived in the capital, I met Madam Xia, and maybe I could benefit from the old lady and eat some delicious food!
Why not?
Gui's mother thought this way, and so did Biyun. She packed her things and checked her luggage faster.
Here, after a day of traveling, Lu Qiyan led everyone and finally arrived at the Guanjia Inn.
The post station is quite large, with many houses and a large number of post guards, enough to accommodate everyone.
Yi Cheng, whose surname is Song, has served here for many years and is diligent in his work. He had already learned in the first few days that the peace negotiation delegation was expected to arrive today and made preparations early.
The house was cleaned very clean, the bedding was all new, and meals, drinks, hot water, etc. were all available.
Li Juncheng and others were very satisfied with having a decent place to stay. After settling down, they ordered their people to rest and take appropriate supplies. (End of chapter)
