Fragrance Returned

Sun and Mu Jue's eyes widened, and their voices became louder, "Grandpa!"

Mr. Sun Laohou said, "You think your grandfather shouldn't have taught you this? What a stupid boy. I tell you, you must do what your grandfather taught you when you encounter this kind of thing. If you teach others, you will always be controlled by them."

Marquis Sun said, "Let me make it clear to you now, if you encounter such a thing, as long as the person who falls is not an enemy, you must help, no matter what happens.

"If you dare not save me, I will beat you to death first when you come back. This is not only 'righteousness', but also the most basic principle of being a human being. Our Sun family, starting from our ancestors, has been an upright gentleman, with the word 'righteousness' at the forefront..." "

Just as he was talking, a servant came to report, "Old Mrs. Qiu of the Duke of Wei wants to see you."

The three of them looked at each other.

None of them wanted to see her at this time, knowing that she must be here for that matter.

This old lady looks kind-hearted and kind, but once she gets stubborn, even nine donkeys can't pull her back. Especially when he encountered some things about his only grandson Qiu Wangzhi, even the emperor hid from them when they came true.

But Mrs. Qiu is not only the emperor's most respected cousin, but also the person whom Mr. Sun and his son have always respected and feared.

The old man could only say, "Old lady, please go to the main hall."

When Mrs. Qiu was young, she traveled extensively with Mr. Qiu and even went to the station. In the eyes of everyone, she was not just a woman who only dealt with the female family members in the back house, but a heroine who could be worthy of being in the front yard of any family.

The three of them walked to the main hall and saw Mrs. Wei sitting there with a sad face, her hair as white as snow, and she seemed to have aged ten years.

Several people were shocked.

Mr. Sun Lao Hou asked knowingly, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Marquis Sun and Sun Yumu both bowed and clasped their fists, saying, "Old lady."

Mrs. Qiu stood up, looked at the old Marquis and Sun Marquis in turn, and finally stopped at Sun Yumu. She put her hands together and made a bow to him.

Mrs. Qiu was not only older, but also had a high status and was respected by the world. She bowed to Sun Yumu, a junior, which was too big a gift.

Sun Yumu hurriedly avoided it and bowed again, saying, "The old lady has broken this junior."

Old Mrs. Qiu said, "Little General Sun is upright, open-minded, upright, and righteous. Thank you, old lady, for saving Wangzhi. I am ashamed that I did not teach my grandson well..."

Mr. Sun Lao Hou said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law is too modest. Sit down and speak slowly."

Mr. Sun sat down to the side of the Eight Immortals table, Mrs. Qiu sat on the right, and Mr. Sun and Sun Yumu still sat on the left.

Old Mrs. Qiu sat down and said with tears welling up in her eyes, "Wangzhi has had such a destiny since he was a child, and his relatives have passed away one after another, so he attaches more importance to love than others. Especially when it comes to the emotions between men and women, he is like a demon. Once you have it, you don’t want to let it go easily...

"As a result, he did something wrong. Fortunately, he found his way back, and God protected him, so it didn't cause a big disaster. I already had someone beat him with thirty military sticks, and then the old lady beat him with twenty thorn sticks... …”

Mr. Sun's old man's face was full of distress, and he said sincerely, "Sister-in-law, you are wrong about him. He is a good boy who observes etiquette. He is in love but only polite, and he knows how to return when he gets lost. He is not possessed.

"He saved Mu Zhi, and we were grateful before it was too late. How could we blame him? No one has ever made a mistake. If he can face it calmly and correct his mistakes, he is a responsible man.

"My brother is blessed by the spirit of heaven, and my sister-in-law is blessed to have taught such a good grandson. Just now I was teaching Yu Mu. Compared with someone who rescued someone from the beginning, Mr. Qiu's behavior is even more rare."

Sun Yumu was very unhappy with what the old lady said about "feelings between men and women". Although she didn't say it explicitly, she also mentioned it to Xiangxiang, but Xiangxiang obviously didn't know anything...

He wanted to argue, but Marquis Sun patted his hand on the armrest of the official chair and stopped him.

Hearing his grandfather's words again, "It's all about love, it's all about etiquette", Sun Yumu no longer had any entanglements.

He was luckier than Qiu Wangzhi. Not only did he get the girl, but his grandfather and father were also reasonable and had no intention of blaming Xiangxiang.

Mrs. Qiu looked determined, "Some mistakes can be made, but some mistakes must not be made."

She stood up and took out a tablet from the package with "Qiu Gongye" written on it, and placed it squarely on the Eight Immortals table.

Marquis Sun was surprised, "What does the old lady mean by the memorial tablet of Mr. Qiu?"

The old lady of the Qiu family did not answer, but took out another jade unicorn from the package, "This is a gift from Emperor Gaozu, and it is an heirloom of the Qiu family.

"The old woman will temporarily store it in the Sun Mansion in front of my husband's memorial tablet today. I will wait until one day to see it or the old woman agrees to one thing that the Sun Mansion asks for, and then take it back. I only ask for a promise from the Sun Mansion!"

The three grandsons and grandsons of the Sun family looked at each other and understood what she meant.

The promise that the Qiu family wanted was not to tell that matter under any circumstances.

Afraid that they were telling the truth, in exchange for the Qiu family helping the Sun family to agree to a major event, they also had to make a promise in front of the ancestral tablet.

Mr. Sun Lao Hou said hurriedly, "My sister-in-law has been through this. The Sun family cannot afford such a treasure. We promise that we will never tell that matter."

Lord Sun also said, "Wangzhi is Yumu's savior. If we tell him, we will repay him with kindness. We swear, we promise not to tell."

The old lady looked at Sun Yumu stubbornly, "If the old lady says you can afford it, then you can afford it. We, the Qiu family, only have one Wangzhi now, so we can't let him make any mistakes."

Lord Sun could see that if the Sun family did not accept such a treasure, Mrs. Qiu would never be relieved.

He nodded to Sun Yumu.

Sun Yumu stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Yumu swears to the spirit of old Duke Wei in heaven that, except for his grandfather and father, if Yumu tells that thing, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and he will never be reincarnated."

Mr. Sun Laohou and Mr. Sun also stood up and bowed to the memorial tablet, clasping their fists and saying, "We must keep our mouths shut. If there is any violation, we will be punished by heaven and earth."

Their commitment was not entirely due to Mrs. Qiu's stubbornness, but also the Qiu family's heavy trust in the Sun family.

The tears in the old lady's eyes could no longer be held back and fell down, as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted.

She wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said, "My old man said when he was alive that the Sun family is trustworthy. This is your Sun family too. If it were any other family, I wouldn't know how to clean up the mess for him."

Seeing Mrs. Qiu like this, Sun Yumu realized what Qiu Wangzhi was carrying when she went back to save him, why he was in a high position at such a young age, and why he was always so gloomy and dull...

Having such strict elders is both a blessing and a misfortune.

I was reckless at the time, I shouldn't blame him, let alone stab him with a dagger.

Sun Yumu said from the bottom of his heart, "Yumu must learn from Brother Qiu, face mistakes calmly, and be a responsible man."

He looked troubled again, "However, the marriage between Brother Qiu and Jingjing... Please don't force Brother Qiu too much. If he doesn't want to, he will be wronged."

The old lady snorted coldly, "My grandson has no right to say anything about whoever my family wants to marry as his granddaughter-in-law."

One sentence pushed Sun and Mu to the south wall.

The old lady was very angry. This was because the good thing was not done well and she was still controlled by others.

Marquis Sun glared at his son and said hurriedly, "Old lady, please forgive me, I don't know what to say about admiring the child's nature."

Sun Yumu really had no right to interfere in the matter between Qiu Wangzhi and Tao Jing.

Old Mrs. Qiu said seriously, "It doesn't matter what I say about this matter, nor does it matter if you say it. Now that I want to marry Miss Tao wholeheartedly, I have let go of the obsession in the past.

"I will go to the Tao Mansion now to find Mr. and Mrs. Tao Weng and Mr. Tao, and tell them that Wangzhi had a favorite girl in Quyuan Mansion and that he was obsessed with her.

"Fortunately, Wang Zhi has stepped back from the brink and has given up completely now. If the Tao family is still willing to continue the marriage, the old woman will make a promise to the Tao family on behalf of her grandson. Wang Zhi will never take a concubine. If the Tao family does not give birth to a child before she is thirty years old, When I give birth to my son, I will give him a living room.

"When the first wife gives birth to a son, I will drive him away. The son will be raised under the name of Miss Tao. I will shamelessly ask the emperor to pass the Duke of Wei to Wang after they get married. When Miss Tao comes in, Soon she will be the head mistress of our Duke Wei's mansion.

"If they don't want this marriage, I will go to the Queen and ask for it. From now on, the marriage between man and woman will have nothing to do with each other."

She said she was a girl from the Yuan Qu Mansion because she didn't want the Tao Mansion to guess about Xun Xiang, which would affect the relationship between the mansions and the young people.

Old Mrs. Qiu pinched a large brocade box in the package. Inside was a set of red gold phoenix headbands, which was given to her by her mother-in-law when she got married. It was also her best set of jewelry.

Regardless of whether the Tao family wants this marriage or not, this set of veils will be given to Miss Tao.

Mr. Sun Laohou did not expect that the old lady would do this, so he advised her, "My sister-in-law is overly concerned. The Tao Mansion will not know about it, so why bother with it."

Mrs. Qiu didn't answer, looking stubborn.

The old Marquis said helplessly, "It's getting dark now. Sister-in-law, please go after dinner."

Mrs. Qiu nodded in agreement.

Marquis Sun asked people to go to the inner courtyard to invite Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun out to have dinner with the old lady.

Eating in the back hall, there is a screen between the men's and women's tables. Sun Yumu came to the other side to toast the old lady with wine for his grandfather and father. He also kowtowed to the old lady as a grandson.

After the meal, Mrs. Qiu went to Tao's house with the parcel in her arms.

Looking at her stumbling back, Mr. Sun Laohou said, "Old Duke Wei died violently. The old lady had deep resentment towards the late emperor and today, and her teaching and control of Qiu Wangzhi was almost harsh. Alas, too much is not enough."

"I dare to conclude that those thirty military sticks were used to hit Qiu Wangzhi and not immediately save Yumu. And those twenty thorn sticks were used to hit Qiu Wangzhi and turn back to save Yumu.

"To treat us and the Tao family in this way again is telling Qiu Wangzhi that some mistakes can be made, and some mistakes will affect a person's life and must not be made. If you make a mistake, you will have to pay the heaviest price.

"Yu Mu will not only have to be friends with Prince Qiu in the future, but also be more vigilant..."

Sun Houye said, "My ideas are different from those of my father. Qiu Wangzhi stayed in Jinwu Guard for nearly ten years and took the position of the envoy of Beizhen.

"But he also has a kind heart, which shows that he, like Old Duke Wei, has his perseverance and is a person worthy of friendship. Perhaps the emperor saw this and was willing to reuse him."

Sun Yumu nodded. The old lady really taught him a lesson today.

He said, "No matter from every aspect, Qiu Wangzhi is worth getting to know. Of course, you must be wary of others."

Both generations of Zhenhaihou were satisfied with his statement.

Sun Yumu added, "Jingjing is simple and kind. How can the old lady be so harsh on her grandson? To this grandson's daughter-in-law..."

Mr. Sun Laohou said, "After this incident, the old lady may be more satisfied with the innocent little girl Tao, but not happy with the little girl Xun who made her grandson make a big mistake."

Sun Yumu didn't like to hear this, "Xiangxiang doesn't need her to like her. Qiu Wangzhi made a big mistake and can't blame Xiangxiang."

Marquis Sun said, "Little girl Xun is not only very wise, but also blessed and talented. She knows what to do and what not to do. It is a blessing for you and our Sun family to marry her."

"The reason why Old Mrs. Qiu criticized Qiu Wangzhi so harshly is because the Qiu family can only rely on Qiu Wangzhi. Once Qiu Wangzhi is finished, the Qiu family is finished, and there is no remedy. And our Sun family, not only has my grandfather, me and my third brother , and Mu will have a good daughter-in-law in the year to come."

He is not so stupid as to blame other people's mistakes on his future daughter-in-law.

Tao Jing finished dinner at Princess Chang's Mansion in Dongyang before saying goodbye and going home.

As soon as she left, Yuhuan took out a small bamboo box and smiled at Xunxiang, "Princess Princess, Qingfeng brought this this afternoon. He said that the prince has returned to his hometown. The prince has important things to do. Please invite the princess to Zuixian Pavilion at midnight the day after tomorrow."

Xunxiang opened the small bamboo box and found a letter at the top. The letter was very thick and had more than ten pages at a glance. Below are a few porcelain bottles of fine paint from Quyuan, two sapphire inkstones from Jincheng, and two packs of fine wolfberries.

The best pigment producing area in the Dali Dynasty was Quyuan.

Opening the letter, a beautiful handwriting jumped into view.

I miss you throughout the whole article, which is bolder than the previous letters.

Xun Xiang, an old melon, blushed and her heart skipped a beat.

We have to wait until the day after tomorrow to see him.

Really want to!

When Tao Jing returned to Zhongtao Mansion by car, the sky was already full of stars and the crescent moon was like a hook.

When I arrived at the second gate, I happened to bump into Old Mrs. Qiu, Mrs. Tao, and Mr. Tao who were coming out.

Under the moonlight, Tao Jing was stunned by the old lady's head of white hair.

I saw her more than a month ago and her hair was still gray.

Why has it changed so much?

Also, why did she come from home so late?

Tao Jing was full of suspicion, her face turned red and she bent her knees to salute the old lady, "Old lady."

The little girl is wearing a light blue gown with flowers. She is fair and beautiful, as calm as a chrysanthemum.

The old lady liked it very much.

Fortunately, such a good little girl was not lost.

The old lady held Tao Jing's hand lovingly and said with a smile, "Good boy, you seem to have grown a little taller..."

Tao Jing's face turned redder and she smiled, "It's grown a little longer."

After seeing the old lady off, Tao Jing helped her mother walk back.

Tao Jing asked, "Mom, why does the old lady come to the house so late?"

Mrs. Tao said, "The old lady is here to discuss the matter between you and Wangzhi."

Tao Jing wondered, "Haven't those matters been discussed long ago?"

The dowry is all ready.

Mrs. Tao pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Wangzhi has gone home. He made a mistake when solving the case and was given thirty canes by the old lady.

"Well, the beating was severe. Not only will I not be able to get out of bed for a month, but I may also have scars on my back. You are about to get married. The old lady came over to tell us."

That's not a good thing to say to your daughter. (End of chapter)
