This time the letter ends here, there is no more information.
But it is even more certain that Mr. Wu Qi tried his best to find out about Wu Ya'er, and Wu Ya'er must be related to the Wu family.
Moreover, Li Minglou only mentioned the city lord a few words, but he was almost certain that the eldest lady of the Wu family was related to Mrs. Wu.
Her thoughts were confused, and she was stunned when she looked at Wu Ya'er who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Yuanji was also startled and stood up in a hurry: "The governor is here."
After Mrs. Wu arrived, Jiang Ming wrote a letter to tell Wu Ya'er. Wu Ya'er wrote back and said that she would come as soon as arrangements were made. They had already given instructions to invite Governor Wu in directly when he arrived. Of course, he could enter the palace unimpeded.
The prerequisite is that you don't have to take your troops, disarm and disarm, and be alone.
Wu Ya'er nodded to him, looked at Li Minglou again, and was a little surprised by her confusion. She didn't seem to know what to say, so she smiled again.
Li Minglou came to his senses and stood up: "You're here." She looked left and right, "Madam is here..."
"Madam is in the garden with Kumquat at this time." The palace maid reminded her hurriedly.
Li Minglou nodded: "Yes, in the garden. The weather is nice today, let's go to the garden."
She left the desk and when she lifted her skirt, she found that she still had the letter in her hand, and quickly put it back.
Wu Ya'er said: "You go about your business first. Master Yuan can just take me there."
He glanced at Yuanji, and Yuanji responded that although the lady said that the wound was healing and she was not as afraid of the sun as before, it was best not to go out during the day.
Li Minglou knew that Wu Ya'er saw that she was emotionally confused, so her mind calmed down and said: "I'm not busy, I was just thinking about something."
Wu Ya'er said: "I came suddenly and disrupted your thoughts."
An explanation, an apology, Yuan Ji frowned, it was not necessary, he said: "Captain, I will accompany you."
Li Minglou said: "I'll go." She looked at Wu Ya'er, "I'm thinking about my wife. She's not doing well lately."
Wu Ya'er's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything. Li Minglou had already walked out: "I had a cough earlier, and I stayed at Huainan Road to recover for a long time."
Wu Ya'er followed her: "My mother has this old disease."
Yuan Ji picked up the black umbrella and stood beside Li Minglou, while Wu Yaer was one step behind.
"The cough is not bad." Li Minglou stepped out and looked back at him, "This disease can be cured with careful care, but..."
Wu Ya'er took a step forward and stood beside her, asking: "Just what?"
Li Minglou looked at his face: "Madam was frightened on the way to Beijing. She was in a panic. She stayed up day and night. She was afraid of seeing people and wanted to hide..."
As she spoke, Wu Yaer's expression changed from nervous to surprised and finally sad.
"Don't be upset, this has nothing to do with you." He lowered his eyes and said, "My mother was not frightened on the way to Beijing, but has been living in fright. But she has been living a good life with you.
.”
Hearing this sentence, the sentence in the unfinished letter about being insulted and driven out of his mind by the insult also appeared again. Li Minglou couldn't help but feel sore in his eyes and quickly lowered his gaze.
She knew that there was a lot of suffering in the world, and what she encountered was not the worst in the world.
Under the woman's daily calm and smiling face, there is a lot of despair hidden in the saying "Don't be afraid."
She raised her eyes and looked at Wu Ya'er: "I can only make her seem to have a good life. It is really good for her that mother and son get together."
Wu Ya'er said: "I have always been in my mother's heart and have never been far away. How can we talk about getting together? Maybe I am in my mother's arms now."
After Mrs. Wu fell ill, she never left her baby. In her heart, he was her son. He never left and was always by his side. Li Minglou's eyes were soft: "How do you know?"
This question seems a bit unnecessary... Yuanji thought, because they are mother and son, the most familiar people in the world.
Wu Ya'er said: "Because I was like this when I was a child. When I was in front of my mother, she would only hold her swaddling clothes when she was sick."
Li Minglou looked at him and said: "This is because your mother cherishes you as her own life, and at the same time, you are also your mother's support."
Wu Yaer's expression was slightly startled. He always thought that he was a drag on his mother.
"When she held the baby in her arms, it seemed as if she was not afraid of anything." Li Minglou said, "She could walk all the way."
That's it. Wu Ya'er looked at her and said nothing.
Yuan Ji coughed slightly and stood between the two of them, saying: "Captain, let's go see Madam."
...
...
The woman was sitting on a thick futon in the garden, listening to the gentle chirping of birds in a cage in the corridor.
Beside her, Jin Jue held the baby in his arms and made a gesture of coaxing the child.
Wu Ya'er stopped when he saw the first sight. The woman in front of him was familiar yet unfamiliar. The familiar woman seemed to have stepped out of a painting, but also seemed to have stepped out of a yellowed memory. The strange woman...
How long has it been since he saw his mother?
It seems like a lifetime.
Many times he dreamed of his mother smiling and saying to him, Ya'er, let's meet again in the next life.
He woke up from his dream and sat there until dawn.
Sometimes he would think that his mother would never see him again in the next life. Their relationship between mother and son was too painful.
They will be mother and son for the rest of their lives, supporting each other and getting through it...
Wu Ya'er took another step, faster and faster, and finally started running in long strides.
Li Minglou stopped and did not follow. He watched Wu Ya'er running to the woman. Jin Jue shouted to the woman in surprise. The woman looked at Wu Ya'er. Wu Ya'er knelt down, took the woman's hand and put it on her.
On her own face, the woman's hand slowly touched his face, inch by inch...
Li Minglou waved to Jin Jue, who slowly backed away holding the baby in his arms. Seeing that the woman still didn't respond, he ran towards Li Minglou in small steps.
"Young Madam." She said with red eyes. She now refused to call her "Miss" and asked everyone to call her Wan'er. "Madam recognized the Governor as soon as she touched his face and said that the Governor had lost weight."
Li Minglou nodded: "Mothers can smell the scent of their children."
She looked over there again, and saw Wu Ya'er burying his head in the woman's knees, the woman gently touching his shoulders, and the birds on the porch were jumping and chirping.
"Let's go," she said, "let mother and son talk to each other."
...
...
Li Minglou did not intend to tell Wu Ya'er before letting him investigate the Wu family in Songzhou. If it didn't matter, there was no need to tell him. If it did, he would wait until Wu Ya'er wanted to talk about it.
Especially now, there are some bad guesses. If Wu Yaer doesn't tell her, she will let it rot in her heart for the rest of her life.
In order to avoid being noticed by his emotional ups and downs, Li Minglou allowed himself to do things as usual and went to bed as usual during the day.
When he woke up at night, the officials and generals in Haitang Palace were busy coming in and out, arguing and making noises. They didn't disperse until almost five o'clock. There were only a few agenda books left in front of Li Minglou. Fang Er, who was sitting on the cornice, pushed
Ginger name.
"Wu Ya'er is here." He whispered.
Jiang Ming, who was yawning, suddenly woke up: "He's really here. Why doesn't he accompany his mother?"
Fang Er said: "He asked the palace maid to bring a food box. Well, the food box opened and it was a plate of steamed cakes."
He hung the eaves upside down to have a clear view of the palace.
Jiang Mingdao: "Sending food? Is it poisoned? Let's go in and taste it first."
Fang Er hesitated: "There is only one piece, not enough for us all to eat."
...
...
"You did it?"
Li Minglou looked at the crystal clear steamed cake on the plate, and then at Wu Ya'er.
"Would you still do this?"
Wu Ya'er looked at the plate: "What Aunt Wan taught me is my mother's favorite dish. In fact, I don't know if it is right or not. Aunt Wan said it was delicious, and my mother also said it was delicious. I haven't made it in so many years.
I made it for dinner, and my mother said it was delicious."
Li Minglou smiled: "Let me try it."
She picked up a bite with her fork and ate it. The maid took the plate away and quietly stepped aside, as if she didn't exist.
"Hmm." Li Minglou thought.
Wu Ya'er looked at her flowing eyes and said, "Tell the truth."
