Chapter 158 Confusion
"Is this the reward given to you by the Queen Mother?" In Liufeng Garden, Liu looked at the set of red jade headdress in front of her and asked happily.
"Yes, mother!" As soon as she returned home, Yuan Ziyu asked Qingying to bring the red jadeite headdress given by the empress dowager to Liufeng Garden: "It's just that my daughter thinks it's a bit too expensive!"
Liu looked at the headpiece and said with a smile, "It is indeed valuable."
After saying this, he pointed to the beads embedded in the red jade and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Yuan Ziyou looked at it, shook her head and said with a smile: "Mom, you know I'm young and don't have much experience, so just tell your daughter quickly!"
"This is gold sycamore." Liu said with a smile, "It is extremely rare. I never thought that the Queen Mother would give you such a treasure."
"Golden machette?" Yuan Ziyu had never heard of this name. She originally thought that the most valuable piece of this headwear was the red jadeite.
Yuan Ziyu looked at the beads carefully again, and saw irregular and faint light blue lines on the light red beads, and more or less golden spots.
"Mom, is this bead very precious?" Yuan Ziyu asked.
"Of course!" Liu said with a smile, "You must keep this headdress well. When you reach the age of marriage next year, you can wear it. It will be a very prestigious thing."
"Mom, you know so much!" Yuan Ziyu exclaimed.
"You'er, when you were a child you were impatient to learn these things. Now that you have grown up, it's time for you to learn some things, otherwise you will not recognize good things when you see them in the future." Liu said lovingly, touching Yuan Ziyu's hair.
"Okay, mother!" Yuan Ziyu nodded hurriedly. In her previous life, Liu wanted to teach her, but she was too impatient with these things and refused to learn. Later, she regretted it for a long time. Now that she is back, she must learn from Liu.
"Okay!" Upon hearing Yuan Ziyu's agreement, Liu seemed very excited: "Mother will teach you everything I know. That way, if one day you have the opportunity to meet your grandparents, they will be very happy to know."
This was the first time in Yuan Ziyu's two lifetimes that she heard her mother mention her maternal grandparents' home. Whether in her previous life or this life, her mother had never mentioned her maternal grandparents' home in front of her, let alone gone back, as if her maternal grandparents' home did not exist.
She had always thought that there was no one left in her maternal grandfather's family. After all, the Yuan family was almost wiped out in her previous life, and she had never heard of anyone from the Liu family coming to inquire about the Liu family's news.
However, today, from what my mother said, there are obviously still people living in my maternal grandparents' house, at least my grandfather and grandmother are still there, so why hasn't my mother had any contact with them over the years?
My mother clearly had a generous dowry, and she didn't look like she was unfavored in my grandparents' home.
Yuan Ziyu was full of doubts.
"Mom, where is my grandparents' home?" Yuan Ziyu asked hurriedly.
"In Hangzhou!" Liu smiled slightly, with a hint of nostalgia on her face.
Hangzhou Beijing?
Yuan Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly. That was the richest place in the Dali Dynasty and also the place most desired by the literati and poets of the Dali Dynasty.
But, that's not right!
"Mom, I remember that Aunt Meng's house is not in Hangzhou City. Aren't you childhood friends?" Yuan Ziyu blinked, becoming even more confused.
Upon hearing this, Liu smiled and said, "Your Aunt Meng's maternal grandparents' family is also in Hangzhou City. My maternal grandparents and your Aunt Meng's maternal grandparents' family were neighbors. When your Aunt Meng was a child, she lived with her maternal grandparents for a while. We got along very well, so we had a good relationship. Later, your Aunt Meng's maternal grandparents moved away, and your Aunt Meng returned to her own family. Gradually, we lost contact, and only met again when we were in the frontier."
Hearing Liu say this, Yuan Ziyu's heart moved, and he understood. He was afraid that Aunt Meng didn't know about the affairs of her maternal grandparents' family. She must have thought that there was no one left in the Liu family, just like himself. Otherwise, when his mother passed away in the previous life, Aunt Meng would have helped his mother to tell the Liu family no matter what.
Yuan Ziyu sighed secretly in his heart. It seemed that something was going on here.
"Mom, I haven't even been to my grandparents' house!" Yuan Ziyou leaned against Liu's side, holding her arm and speaking in a soft voice, but his eyes were fixed on Liu's expression.
Liu's expression darkened in an instant, and she abruptly changed the subject: "You'er, you must be tired after returning from the palace. Go back and rest."
"Mother, I..." Yuan Ziyu was about to say something when she heard Liu say, "You'er, be good and go back first!"
"Oh!" Seeing that Liu didn't seem to want to say anything more, Yuan Ziyu had no choice but to take Qingying back to Wuyou Pavilion first.
After Yuan Ziyou left, Liu sighed deeply and said, "Bishuang, I need to rest for a while. Don't let anyone disturb me."
Bishuang looked at Liu worriedly: "Madam, let me accompany you!"
"No need!" Liu shook her head: "I want to be alone for a while, don't tell the master about this matter."
"Yes!" Bishuang had no choice but to help Liu lie down. She looked at Liu worriedly, then closed the door and went out, guarding outside.
Liu lay on the bed, recalling the past scenes that flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but burst into tears. It took a long time before she fell asleep, but her sleep was not sound.
Yuan Ziyu brought Qingying back to Wuyou Pavilion. Thinking back to his mother's expression, he became more and more curious about what had happened that had caused his mother to have no contact with her maternal grandparents for nearly twenty years.
After thinking about it, Yuan Ziyu went to the east room, wrote a letter, and asked Qingzhi to deliver it to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion personally.
When Qingzhi returned from Xuanping Hou's Mansion, he brought back Huo Xifei's reply.
Yuan Ziyu opened the letter and read it, a smile on his face. He said to Qingying and Qingzhi, "Take out the clothes you chose yesterday. Tomorrow you two will go hunting with me to my mother's farm, so remember to change into clothes!"
Hearing that they were going hunting tomorrow, Qingying and Qingzhi both smiled happily: "Yes, Second Miss, we will prepare it right away!"
After saying that, the two of them bowed with a smile, one went to prepare clothes and jewelry for tomorrow, and the other went to prepare food for tomorrow.
Yuan Ziyu returned to the east room, sat at the desk, flipping through a medical book in her hand, but she was actually thinking about something. She was really confused about her maternal grandparents' home.
Manager Liu is a servant of the Liu family and the manager of the farm that was used as my mother's dowry. Like Biling, he followed my mother from the Liu family. I think he must know about what happened to my mother in the past.
In the letter she had just sent to Huo Xifei, she had asked him to go with Huo Wan to her mother's dowry farm tomorrow. The farm was surrounded by mountains and was a good place for hunting.
It was just right, she could ask Manager Liu tomorrow what exactly happened back then.
What kind of thing happened that caused my mother to lose contact with my maternal grandparents for nearly twenty years?
