Three dynasties back home, Gu Jingyun first took Li Baolu to the Qin Mansion to visit his uncle and aunt. After all, Baolu was raised by them and married from here.

   After coming out of Qin Mansion, we turned to Li Zhai in Liuer Hutong in the outer city.

"Oh, it's the second aunt who is back!" A middle-aged woman dressed in snow-green uniform happened to come out of Li's house, and when she saw their carriage stopped immediately, she turned her head to Mrs. Mei with a smile and said, "I forgot. , today is the second aunt's grandmother returning to the door three times, fortunately it was a step slower, otherwise we would not be able to see the elegance of our second aunt."

Li Baolu helped Gu Jingyun's men to get out of the car, glanced at her and looked at Mrs. Mei. Seeing her standing behind the middle-aged woman with a timid expression on her face, she saluted her: "Second aunt, second uncle and Jun Cousin, are they at home?"

   "I'm here, I'm here," Mei hurriedly stepped forward to greet Li Baolu, and glanced at the middle-aged woman uneasily.

  Li Baolu ignored him, just smiled at Mrs Mei: "I'll go in and give my second uncle's greetings."

   After saying that, she walked in side by side with Gu Jingyun, the middle-aged woman's smile froze, her face a little ugly.

   Li He and Li Liu have already heard the news, "Second Sister", "Second Sister".

  Li Baolu nodded slightly to them and asked, "Who is that person outside?"

Li Liu pouted slightly, "It's a maid sent from Shunde, saying that the second grandmother of the big house wants to see my mother. A servant is so proud, but we have to hold her, why, the second sister also touches her. Has it come to her?"

"Little sister," Li He glared at her, turned his head and smiled at Li Baolu: "It's not a big deal, but Shunde sent someone to congratulate you, but they couldn't see you, they want us to take them to meet you. See you, but we didn't promise."

   "Your father didn't agree?"

  Li He smiled, "My father listens to my brother now."

  I have to listen.

  Li Baolu stopped, looked at the middle-aged man who came at the same time as Li Jun, and saluted, "Second uncle."

  Gu Jingyun followed Zuo and saluted, "My niece and son-in-law have seen my second uncle."

   A smile appeared on Li Hong's face and said, "It's Baolu who is back, come in."

   Although Li Hong hates Li Baolu, he is even more afraid of her, and with a guilty conscience, even if he hates her again, he still has to smile every time they meet.

  The Li family has lived in Liuer Hutong since they settled in the capital. This small house was acquired by Li Baolu after copying the servants, so they will live here for now.

  It is not easy to live in the capital, and they solved the most difficult problem of living, and the rest was food and clothing.

  At the beginning, the late emperor gave them a lot of gold, silver, silk and satin as compensation. The Li family took part of the money to buy a small shop in the outer street to sell some groceries. Although the profit was not much, it was enough for daily expenses.

  Except for Li Hong, the three of Mei's mother and daughter all worked in the grocery store, while Li Jun went to Tongxintang to learn medical knowledge from Doctor Li, mainly learning to identify medicinal herbs.

Tongxintang is the property of the Li clan in Shunde. Most of the prefectures of the Chu state have branches, and the Tongxintang in the capital is managed by the big house. When Li Bo was rehabilitated, Li Hong and the others returned to the capital, and the emperor gave a plaque. For Li Bo, Tongxintang sent someone to contact Li Jun at that time. Li Jun expressed his intention to do the medicinal material business in the future. Li Mao, the doctor of Tongxintang, accepted him as an apprentice and taught him to identify medicinal materials and some other medicines. medical knowledge.

  Li Baolu walked beside Li Jun and asked, "Isn't it decided to welcome grandfather Hui in Shunde?"

  Li Jun was silent.

   Li Baolu snorted lightly when she saw this, turned her head to the hearts and said, "Bring the gifts I prepared for the second uncle and second aunt, and go and invite the second aunt in, so that I can greet the second aunt."

  Heart went away in response, but it wasn't just the second aunt who came back. The middle-aged woman also came in, but this time she was much more honest and followed behind Mei with her head bowed slightly, with a humble smile on her face.

  Gu Jingyun reached out to hold his wife's hand and smiled at her.

  Li Baolu was in a better mood.

  The middle-aged woman looked at Mrs. Mei. Mrs. Mei hurriedly introduced Baolu, "Baolu, this Shao Mammy is the grandmother of the second grandmother of the big house in Shunde's hometown."

   The middle-aged woman took the opportunity to take a step and bowed to Li Baolu and said, "Slave Shaw has seen the second aunt."

  Li Baolu sat on the chair and nodded slightly to her: "So it's Mammy Shao, you're polite."

Mammy Shao said with a smile: "Our second grandma didn't know that the second grandma would return to Li Zhai today. If she knew, she would definitely come to see the second grandma. This time, our second grandma came to the capital to congratulate the second grandma on the order of the old lady. The aunt and the second uncle are overjoyed."

   Li Baolu's eyes flashed with cold light, and she smiled lightly: "Thank you for the deep friendship between you old lady and second grandma."

   Then he picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and said no more.

Mammy Shao's face stiffened, and Li He continued with a smile: "Your second grandmother is too polite, even if the second sister does not come home today, your second grandma can come and sit at our house. It's a small family, but you can still get some hospitality."

Mrs. Mei was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab the corner of her daughter's clothes, but Li He didn't care about her, she just smiled at the embarrassed Mammy Shao: "But no matter how good our stuff is, it's better than what the second sister brought. Yes, it’s also a coincidence that you came here, just now I saw that some of the supplements that the second sister brought are good, why don’t Mammy Shao bring some back to your second grandmother, it is considered that our Li family borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and please don’t mind the second grandma.”

  Li Liu immediately grabbed the hearts to pick out gifts, and picked out several boxes in a row to stuff them into Mammy Shao, which were full of various supplements.

  Mother Shao couldn't refuse, so she was sent out by sisters Li Liu and Li He and insisted on stuffing the gift into the carriage.

  Mother Shao was about to cry, these gifts are precious in other people's homes, but in Lai's family, what is this gift?

Mrs. Lai is the pharmacy of the medical hall, and the most important thing is the medicinal supplements. They specially stuffed her with these precious gifts, but they are not very useful to her. The intention is obvious. This is to her master. , to express dissatisfaction with Shunde Li.

  Mother Shao felt both regret and annoyance in her heart. She regretted that she should not have stepped on the Li family to court Li Baolu just now.

   She glanced at the gift box, and finally closed her eyes and said, "Let's go, go back."

   In Li's house, the Li family were sitting opposite Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu. Li Baolu asked Hearts to share the gifts prepared for them, saying, "I want to put incense sticks for my grandfather, grandmother and my parents."

  Li Jun got up immediately and said, "I'll take you there."

  Miss Mei looked worried and scared, "Brother Jun, is it really okay for us to just send Mammy Shao away like this?"

"What's wrong?" Li Hong suddenly slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily, "If you want me to say that she should have been driven away, but you are worried about this and that, do you really think our team is easy to bully? Annoying me, I went to beat the drum and sue the imperial court. The late emperors have rehabilitated our family. Why didn't they let my father return to the family tree of Shunde Li? That Tongxintang also has our share, and I want to swallow it privately. , there is no door!"

  Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, and Li Baolu turned around and left.

  Li Jun quickly followed.

   Mrs. Mei looked left and right, and finally left her husband and ran after her son. Li Hong saw that he was left alone in the front hall, and fell to his knees in anger.

  The tablets of the Li family are enshrined in a small house in the backyard. Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun cleaned their hands before entering. Only four tablets were placed inside.

   Li Jun lit the incense and handed it to her and Gu Jingyun, then withdrew and gave them the space.

  The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them after they put on the incense. Li Baolu looked up at the words on the tablet, remembering the intermittent memories of her childhood, her eyes couldn't help turning red.

"They all thought that I was a fool when I was a child, I didn't know anything, even clothes and meals, but I actually have memories," Li Baolu said softly: "I remember things very early, but at that time I My mind is chaotic, and I often fall asleep, but every time I wake up, I remember things."

  Gu Jingyun looked at his wife in surprise.

   He knew that Baolu was stupid when she was a child, but she was only enlightened after being hit by the death of her parents. This kind of thing is rare, but it is not impossible, so Gu Jingyun never cared, but did not expect Baolu to remember things so early?

   "At that time, I vaguely knew that my state was wrong, so even if I was awake, I didn't show it. I remember my father and my mother. They only have one child, and the best of the family is left to me."

"They firmly believe that I can be okay, but they are afraid that I will be stupid for the rest of my life, so they are very kind to Jun Jun," Li Baolu said, suppressing the tears in her eyes: "They often bring Jun Jun to me and hold him well. After coaxing him with what he eats, he must protect me, take care of me, and be nice to me... Over the years, I have forgotten what they looked like, but I still remember clearly what they did."

  Gu Jingyun held her hand.

Li Baolu shook her head slightly, "You think my grandmother was very kind to me and thoughtful for me, but in fact, the best thing in my family is my grandfather and my parents, and my grandmother treats our children with a bowl of water. , but in fact, she loves the most in her heart, and the one she relies on the most is Brother Jun, and among the girls, her favorite is Liu Er, who is obedient and obedient."

   It's just that her parents died, and she became the only bloodline in the big house. That's why my grandmother especially valued her and put her at the top of her heart.

   But at that time, all my grandmother wanted was that she would grow up and marry safely. She loves her dearly, but it is more of a commitment to her parents and a responsibility for the continuation of her bloodline, so her grandmother does not allow her second uncle to abandon her.

  Li Baolu is very grateful and admires everything her grandmother has done for her, but she knows in her heart that the only people who truly love her selflessly and without other emotions are her grandfather and parents.

Li Baolu said softly: "Grandfather knew in his heart that he was wronged, and he also knew that Xinglinjie and the world knew that he was wronged, so he did not have much obsession with rehabilitating. The two things he was most worried about in his life were: Concubine Zhao kept silent and acquiesced to his guilt; the second is that the family removed him from the clan."

   "It's because of Concubine Zhao, and Concubine Zhao completed it. I can help him with this wish. As for the Shunde Li clan," Li Baolu paused and said, "If it wasn't for my grandfather's wish, I actually think it would be good to establish another clan."

  Gu Jingyun looked at her and saw that her eyes were hazy with tears. She knew that she still couldn't let go of her grandfather's wish. After all, it was the old man's last wish.

   Li Baolu stomped on the ground and let the tears fall on the floor. She slowly raised her head and said tenaciously, "Brother Jingyun, will you accompany me back to Qiongzhou to welcome them back?"

  Gu Jingyun nodded, clenched her hand and said, "Okay!"
