Gu Mingzhu thought about putting this net into her purse. She should keep the reward from the Queen at home for offerings, but if Lord Wei insisted on snatching it away, she would have to think of a good way to get it over.

After all the clothes were worn, Gu Mingzhu took Baotong to the main hall and trotted into the door. She immediately saw the aunt in the Lin clan and a three or four-year-old child.

The child stood beside his aunt, with his hands hanging properly, his face missing the child's tenderness and curiosity, and more dullness and constraints that should not belong to his age. If an adult is like this, it will make people feel very cunning. A child of three or four years old has become like this, and there is a kind of sadness that comes from his bones. What must have been experienced by the child to become like this.

When the child saw Gu Mingzhu, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Big sister." After that, he went to see Zou Lin to confirm whether he had said something wrong.

Zou Lin nodded, and Zou Xiang fell silent again. The two people with big and small faces were full of sorrow, which was incompatible with the cheerful atmosphere in the room.

Gu Mingzhu concluded that Zou Lin must have something to ask for when coming to his home, which should be related to Zou Xiang.

Mrs. Lin said, "Come on, let's have a meal first."

Zou Lin covered his mouth with a veil: "Madam, we can just meet the eldest lady, so we won't have dinner with everyone in the main hall, I..."

Zou Lin couldn't help coughing a few times, then gasped and said, "We'd better go back to the house."

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Dr. Chai said just now, your illness will not be transmitted to others."

"That's not to make the wife sick," Zou Lin said no, and refused to stay. He pushed Zou Xiang gently, "Go and salute to the wife and the eldest lady."

Zou Xiang was pushed forward two steps, and then bowed properly again.

Zou Lin said, "Okay, we won't bother with the wife. We will go and meet again when the marquis comes back." As she said that, she also took Zou Xiang out of the main hall with her blessed body.

Looking at the mother and son, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but sigh: "The world is forcing people. Why is this old child so sensible? It seems that he has suffered a lot with his clan sister on weekdays."

Mrs. Lin ordered someone to deliver the food to Zou Lin's house, and then she pulled Gu Mingzhu down to eat. Mrs. Lin said, "Eat slowly." While piled up the plates in front of Gu Mingzhu with food.

When Gu Mingzhu was full, Mrs. Lin ordered the kitchen to serve a bowl of crispy cheese in one hour. During this period, Zhuzhu grew very fast and was about to catch up with her. Naturally, she had to eat more good food.

"Why didn't my father come back?" Gu Mingzhu looked out the door.

Mrs. Lin said: "Your elder brother returns to Beijing today, and your father has only returned after seeing your elder brother."

The war in the northern border was stable, and the court ordered Cui Zhen to quickly rush back to Beijing to report his life. The emperor was afraid that something would go wrong in the northern border, so he would immediately see Cui Zhen asking about the situation of the Northern border garrison.

When she came out of the palace, Cui Zhen had probably entered the city.

The ever-winning general returned triumphantly. Although this battle is not suitable for publicity and the people were unable to welcome the triumphant soldiers, there must be a Ministry of War, and officials of the Ministry of Rites will definitely be very honored.

After the glory, Cui Zhen will deal with the affairs of the Cui family.

...

In the guest room of the Marquis of Huaiyuan.

Zou Lin couldn't swallow it anyway after eating a little while, but she urged Zou Xiang: "You have to eat more so that you won't get sick, so that I won't pass it on to you."

Zou Xiang nodded obediently.

When the servants of the Gu family packed the food, Zou Lin looked out the window: "Today, Marquis Dingning has returned to Beijing, and it must be very lively there. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Zou Xiang shook his head.

Zou Lin was silent for a while before saying, "I want to go and see it, but unfortunately I can't walk anymore when I'm old, otherwise I will..."

Zou Lin coughed violently again, and the cough was too severe, and he vomited out all the food he had just eaten. Zou Lin's illness came quickly and urgently. Before the servants of the Gu family heard the sound and entered the door, Zou Xiang skillfully served Zou Lin's side. After Zou Lin finished vomiting, he took water to let Zou Lin's mouth rinse, and wiped the filth on Zou Lin's body with a veil.

Zou Lin took a breath and Zou Xiang was about to wash the dirty handkerchief. The servant of the Gu family had already walked into the door and immediately stepped forward to serve Zou Lin to change his dress.

The manager of the Gu family had just taken some useful objects for Zou Lin. When he saw this situation in the door, he stepped forward and took the dirty handkerchief from Zou Xiang.

The manager's mother immediately said, "Uncle Zou family, you don't need to deal with these."

Zou Xiang didn't know what to do, so he bowed his face to the manager's mother.

The servant cleaned the house and sent it to the door with corn porridge and side dishes. Seeing these foods, Zou Lin couldn't help but have red eyes.

"Zou Xiang, remember, if you have the opportunity to help me repay this kindness," Zou Lin said, "We are still willing to take us in like this. This is Mrs. Lin's kindness."

Zou Xiang nodded.

Zou Lin habitually reminded: "Did you remember it all?"

Zou Xiang nodded again.

"Go and read a book!"

Zou Lin leaned against the kang and watched Zou Xiang pick up the book. As soon as he was about to read, he heard the sound of running outside.

Zou Xiang subconsciously looked out the door.

The maid from the Gu family entered the door and said, "It's a young lady, I'm going to go and set the light boat in the pond. Should Mr. Zou go and see it?"

The light boat is something children like to play with.

Zou Xiang's eyes lit up, but he turned his head to look at Zou Lin on the kang, and then shook his head.

...

Gu Mingzhu by the pond did not see Zou Xiang's figure.

Baotong said, "Can Uncle Zou really understand that book? Then his eyes are so good." Even her eyes would be dizzy when she saw the dense words. Uncle Zou was so young that she could read it.

Zou Xiang had a strong feeling, and Gu Mingzhu could feel the tenacity of being desperate to fight for herself to survive. Even if she was adopted since childhood, she would not be like this. She needed to verify Zou Xiang's identity.

The same is true for Zou Lin. Why did he mention Cui Zhen just now? Zou Lin took Zou Xiang in Beijing for so long and has not appeared. He was afraid of causing trouble for the Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion. Gu Mingzhu always felt that Zou Lin had not told the truth.

Gu Mingzhu put the lamp boat in her hand in the water, and a small stone flew from somewhere, and fell into the water with a "thump", causing ripples.

Gu Mingzhu turned her head to see that the stone seemed to have been thrown in from outside the wall.

It was so accurate that Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but sigh that there must be Lord Wei outside the wall. Chujiu did not have such a method. Gu Mingzhu was about to communicate with each other when she saw Mama Yang coming.

"Miss, Marquis Dingning sent some things to the mansion. Madam lets you go over and take a look."

When Yang's mother said this, she had to agree. Gu Mingzhu stood up and deliberately sang: "Baotong, let's go to my mother's house first." It was also considered as giving Lord Wei a message, asking Lord Wei not to wait.

Outside the wall of the Marquis’ Mansion in Huaiyuan.

Wei Yuanchen stood there with his hands behind his back, and there was no sound in the wall.

Chujiu couldn't help but cough: "San Master, did you hear it?"

Wei Yuanchen didn't say anything.
