Volume 2, Chapter 192: Mother and Daughter Meet
Shangguan Ruoli bought some vegetables that there was no space for, and after picking up his two children, he saw two young men dressed as servants standing in front of his house. One of the servants saw Shangguan Ruoli coming back and rushed back to his old house to report the news.
.
Another boy bowed deeply and said, "Grandma Dongsi, Miss Fourth, and Young Master Wu, are you back?"
Shangguan Ruoli recognized the boy beside Gu Lingyun and said with a smile, "Is it Mr. Gu who is back?"
The boy smiled and said: "Exactly, my young master is here with the eldest wife and his wife. When you come back, they will come to visit you soon."
In this era, madam was a title for married women of second or higher rank. The third rank was called Shuren, the fourth rank was called Gongren, the fifth rank was called Yiren, the sixth rank was called Anren, and the seventh rank was called Ruren.
Ordinarily, wealthy families call them young mistress, grandma, madam, or old lady. Of course, people at the bottom of the family don't pay that much attention. They call someone their own, their mother, their mother, etc.
After Shangguan Ruoli thought for a moment, he guessed that someone from Shangguan's family must be here, and said: "They are busy traveling, so they should be visited by me. We will go there after we put down our things."
When the boy heard this, he agreed briskly and ran back to report the news.
Shangguan Ruo was dressed decently when he left to pick up the children. Ling Yue and Wu Lang went to school, dressed well enough to meet people. A few of them arranged their hair and accessories, and brought some snack boxes, space fruits and dried fruits.
Went to the Gu family’s old house.
The Gu family's old house is much more respectable than the small courtyard where they live, with several entrances. The courtyard is paved with blue bricks, and the flowers and plants are neatly trimmed. The sweet-scented osmanthus tree is in bloom, and the golden flowers like rice grains are clustered together, and they are fragrant.
Extremely rich.
There is also a grape vine next to the wall, with bunches of purple grapes hanging on it. Looking at it makes people feel the joy of harvest.
A decent maid came out with four little maids, her eyes fixed on Shangguan Ruoli's face, she smiled and curtsied and said, "Slave Yingge pays my respects to my aunt."
Calling her aunt, Shangguan Ruoli guessed that this should be the maid beside the original owner's eldest sister, Mrs. Hou Shizi of Nan'an.
She smiled lightly and said, "Miss Yingge is too polite."
Yingge stood up and made an inviting gesture sideways, "Auntie, please come this way."
The four little maids at the back came forward and respectfully took the gift boxes from Shangguan Ruoli, Ling Yue and Wu Lang.
Shangguan Ruoli and the others followed Yingge through the two moon gates to the backyard, but instead of going to the living room, they went to the small flower hall in the main room. This was to treat her as a close person.
A sickly and petite woman sat at the main seat. Most of her hair was white, actually whiter than Shangguan's hair. Her face showed the sorrow of the vicissitudes of time, but between her eyebrows, she could vaguely see the beauty she had when she was young.
appearance.
She held the hairpin ring in a panic, touched her face, stretched out her clothes, and watched Shangguan Ruoli come in with Ling Yue and Wu Lang nervously and excitedly.
Although Shangguan Ruoli has no memory of the original owner, her heart is not at peace at this time. She has lived for three lifetimes. This is the first time she has seen her biological mother. Her heart is also full of ups and downs, sour, astringent and warm, as if she has been knocked over.
Five-flavor bottle.
When Mrs. Xie saw Shangguan Ruoli's appearance, her eyes blurred with tears. She raised her hands and said: "Li'er...it really is Li'er. I can recognize it at a glance. This is my Li'er!"
Although Shangguan Ruoli was deeply moved in her heart, she still couldn't do it when she was asked to call a stranger mother or mother.
He raised his hand to hold her hand and said: "Don't get excited, please take care of yourself!"
Mrs. Xie's vision went dark and she leaned back on the chair. Her Li'er no longer recognized her and was so indifferent and distant from her.
Shangguan Ruoli hurriedly pressed her lips, took out a medicine bottle and shook it under her nose.
Mrs. Nan'an Hou Shizi came over quickly and called softly: "Mother, mother!"
Mrs. Xie slowly opened her eyes, held Shangguan Ruoli's hand, tears streaming down her face, and said sadly: "Li'er, has your mother become old and ugly? You can't recognize her anymore?"
Shangguan Ruoli said hurriedly: "No, I suffered a head injury and lost my memory. I had almost no memory before, but it got better gradually."
Shangguan Ruolan, the wife of the Crown Prince of Nan'an, shed tears and said: "After you were lost, my mother's hair turned gray almost overnight. She has become ill over the years. I am afraid that she will not be able to think about it. I advise her to take good care of her body. Otherwise, she will get old. Come back and save her."
No more leaving her."
In fact, it is a reason for my mother to hold on, otherwise she will soon run out of oil.
Shangguan Ruoli felt a sense of intimacy when he saw Nan'an Hou Shizi's wife. They were sisters at first glance, they looked very similar.
Shangguan Ruolan looked at her with pleading eyes, hoping that because her mother loved her so much, she would call her mother and make her mother feel better.
Ms. Xie smiled apologetically, patted Shangguan Ruoli's hand, and said softly: "It's my mother who is so confused that she forgot that you have lost your memory. Li'er, don't blame your mother."
The tenderness in his eyes and the cautious look made Shangguan Ruoli feel sour in his heart.
Shangguan Ruoli felt that, let alone the mother of the original owner, even as a doctor, she could not let down this poor mother.
She held Xie's bony hand and said softly: "Mother, I am very happy to see you."
"Li'er! My Li'er! You have suffered!" Mrs. Xie burst into tears instantly, hugged Shangguan Ruoli, and cried loudly, "My child, my mother's child, if I can see you in this life, my mother is
Even if you die immediately, you can rest in peace!"
Shangguan Ruoli gently stroked her back, which was covered with bones, and said softly: "Mom, please don't say such unlucky words. I haven't experienced my mother's love yet, so you can't abandon me."
Ms. Xie cried sadly, "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it! Let your mother love you well. It doesn't matter if you forget her. Just remember you. Let your mother love you again, okay? Okay?"
"Okay!" Shangguan Ruoli's voice became more choked up.
Both Ling Yue and Wu Lang cried, holding hands to wipe away their tears.
Shangguan Ruolan and the servants in the room all wiped their tears with handkerchiefs and let out sobs. They know best how my wife has been living these years.
Shangguan Ruoli now understood why Dongming Ziyu was so kind to Mrs. Qian. It was different to have a child whose mother loved him.
She now has her own mother's child, which is great.
Mr. Xie's health was not good to begin with. She struggled to get out of bed after the long journey here. Now she was so happy and sad that she couldn't bear it anymore and fainted from crying.
Shangguan Ruoli took out the Ginseng, Snow Lotus and Yuan Dan from the space and gave it to her with spiritual spring water. She recovered and then fell into a drowsy sleep.
Shangguan Ruolan covered her mother with a quilt, took Shangguan Ruoli's hand, left the bedroom, went to the outer room, and sat down on the soft floor in the outer room.
She touched the cocoon in Shangguan Ruoli's palm, and her eyes filled with tears again, "You have suffered in these years."
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Because I can't remember what happened before, so there is no comparison and I don't feel any pain."
Shangguan Ruolan said regretfully: "If you hadn't gone missing, you would have been..."
