    "Are you here to play cards?" the old lady asked.

    The old man was taken aback.

    Playing, playing cards?

    The old lady knocked on the seeds and said, "I don't play leaf cards today. I will push Pai Gow. The price starts at 50 copper plates."

    What is the queen mother talking about? What leaf card? What pushes Pai Gow?

    The old man looked at the queen dowager steadily and slowly stood up from the ground. He found that although the person in front of him looked exactly like the queen dowager, his clothes and manners did not resemble the queen dowager.

    "What do you look at?" the old lady asked impatiently.

    "You... don't know me?" The old man asked, pointing to himself.

    When he said that, the old lady really looked at him carefully.

    It looks like a dog.

    It's a bit familiar.

    Where have you seen it?

    The old lady doesn't remember the past, and occasionally recalls some, but they are all very scattered fragments.

    But the old man felt a bit unusual for her.

    Isn't it unusual?

    In the past, when Lao Jijiu was an official in the court, he often opposed the Queen Mother.

    He is a conservative and resolutely opposes politics in the harem, especially women who listen to politics under the curtain.

    As early as when the first emperor was alive, Lao Jijiu had a lot of papers to persuade the first emperor to abolish the latter. In the memorial, he called the virtuous queen the demon queen, confused the harem, and the foreign relatives did politics.

    After being virtuous, he was once beaten into the cold palace by the first emperor, which was given by the old sacrificial wine.

    Although she had walked out of the cold palace with her excellent palace fighting skills in less than half a year, she had saved half a year's silver and also made a lot of previous savings.

    Cutting her money is like killing her parents!

    After that, Queen Xiande regarded the old Jijiu as a thorn in his eyes.

    The old Jijiu was exiled for five years and suffered a lot of hardship and dried up. It is more than ten years old, and it is the handwriting of the virtuous.

    The two kept fighting until the death of the first emperor. After being virtuous, they killed the prince and helped the son of the concubine Jing to ascend to the throne of God, and became the queen dowager with authority.

    The winner is always temporarily divided between the two.

    Why is it temporary? Because Lao Jijiu controls the Imperial College, and the Imperial College gathers the most talented young people in Zhaoguo.

    To put it in an exaggeration, the old Jijiu controls the future of Zhaoguo.

    Empress Dowager Zhuang deliberately wanted to bring over the power of the Imperial College. At that time, the King An was about to return to the country, and the Queen Mother proposed to her Majesty that the post of juvenile sacrificial wine can be added to the Imperial College.

    Your Majesty agreed, but it was not the grandnephew of the Queen Mother, but the Xiaohouye of Zhaodu who was canonized as a juvenile sacrificial wine.

    This little Lord Marquis is the apprentice of Old Jijiu.

    Ten thousand unspeakable horses galloped past the Queen Mother.

    Old Jijiu smiled crookedly.

    This round seems to have won the old Jijiu.

    But not long after, on New Year's Eve, the Imperial College was suddenly flooded, and Zhaodu Xiaohouye was burned to death by the fire.

    ...

    Since the old man resigned, it has been a long time since he recollected the past. Now when he saw the queen mother, his thoughts could not help being pulled back to the bloody court.

    The old lady said with a puzzled face: "Why don't you speak? Why do you see my eyes are so complicated? And when I see you, my mood seems to have become a bit complicated!"

    It's still uncomplicated, like the two are rivals, she can't wait to find a knife to kill him!

    and many more.

    Cut him with a knife?

    The old lady gave the old man a suspicious look.

    They knew each other, whether it was from his eyes or his words.

    He was afraid of her.

    She didn't dare to look her eyes directly, as if she was a little guilty.

    Kneeling down when saw her face, is this how sorry for her?

    "I know who you are!" There was a flash in the old lady's mind, and she threw the seeds on the table. "Are you the one who abandoned me... and came back to find me?"

    Old man: "......!!!"

    Gu Jiao and Gu Yan came back first, and when they walked through the hall, they found that there were more people in the backyard.

    Gu Jiao looked familiar.

    The main reason was that there were no big shoe prints on her face, and she didn't recognize it for a while.

    "Auntie?" Gu Jiao asked with her eyes.

    The old lady hated iron and steel and glared at the shivering grief, and sighed, "Your grandfather aunt."

    Gu Jiao: "..."

    Gu Xiaoshun: "..."

    Xiao Liulang, Gu Yan, and Xiao Jingkong entered the house from behind, carrying large bags and small bags in their hands, and behind them was a carriage carrying new year goods.

    Several people and the coachman unloaded the New Year goods from the carriage.

    Xiao Liulang walked in with a pot of sesame oil, just like Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun, he was stunned when he walked through the hall.

    Sitting in the yard were the old lady, Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaoshun, and the old man who was not shivering but still pale.

    No way, "being" put a green hat on the first emperor, and he was terrified!

    "Grandpa Gu," Gu Jiao introduced.

    Xiao Liulang: "..."

    Not seen for a while, you picked up a grandpa at home again?

    Gu Jiao wronged: I didn't pick it up this time.

    Xiao Liulang gave the old man a complicated look.

    The old man's mind was blank at the moment, and he didn't even remember that he came to recognize Xiao Liulang. He only madly accused the first emperor in his heart-the Weichen and the Queen Mother are absolutely pure relations between the monarchs and ministers!

    The old lady's anger has been suppressed, and she asked faintly: "Okay, open the skylight to speak up, do we have children?"

    The old man slipped off his chair and almost fell to the ground.

    He sat up on the chair, and said with a pale face, "No, no."

    The old lady nodded: "I don't think so, otherwise I won't come to Rokuro for a thousand miles."

    Xiao Liulang looked at the old man, who was wearing a cold sweat.

    Fighting with Queen Mother Zhuang for a lifetime is the most unstoppable round of today. It can be said that there is no way to fight back!

    Empress Dowager Zhuang casually said: "You abandoned me when you were young. Now that you are old, you want to come and let my grand-nephew support you. There is no door. Go away!"

    The old man felt relieved, and for the first time he felt that scrolling was so beautiful!

    The old man still feels unrealistic after he leaves the yard.

    He wanted to figure out what was going on, and waited by the door without leaving.

    And Xiao Liulang didn't let him down either, and he really came out after a while.

    The two were not surprised when they saw each other.

    Xiao Liulang has gone from the last panic at the entrance of the hutong.

    The old man felt mixed in his heart: "Is that the queen mother in there? How could you be with the queen mother? You can deny that you are Ah Heng, but you can't deny that she is the queen mother, and the queen mother is not dead."

    Xiao Liulang was silent.

    The old man asked sadly: "How could this be? What happened to you and the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother has amnesia. You always have no memory. Tell me!"

    Xiao Liulang remained silent.

    The old man closed his eyes in pain: "Well, you don't want to say, I won't force you, I will see you another day. Today's matter...I will keep it secret for you."

    Xiao Liulang owed him, turned and went into the yard.

    "Your leg..." The old man's worried gaze fell on his right leg.

    Xiao Liulang paused: "It won't get in the way."

    This was the only word he said to himself.

    The old man felt that he chased it out, perhaps just to say these three words to him.

    He didn't want to worry about him himself.

    The old man's heart was full of sorrow.

    Xiao Liulang entered the yard, and the old man returned to the carriage.

    In fact, today's "harvest" is not only to meet the queen mother, he also meets his little benefactor.

    He didn't expect her and Ah Heng... No, it should be called Liu Lang now.

    She and Rokuro turned out to be husband and wife.

    What kind of fate is this?

    In the yard, the family looked at the old lady together.

    "Auntie, grandpa is really gone, aren't you sad?" Xiaojingkong asked.

    In this family, not many people know that the old lady is not Xiao Liulang's aunt, but Gu Xiaoshun is one of them. When the old lady fainted at the door of Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang's home, Gu Xiaoshun was also there.

    After that, Gu Yan, Xiao Jingkong, Yao Clan and others thought that the old lady was really Xiao Liulang's aunt, who had come to him not far away.

    So when Grandpa Aunt showed up, Xiao Jingkong almost believed it without any doubt.

    Gu Xiaoshun believed it too, because he got along for so long and he had forgotten that his aunt had picked it up.

    The old lady licked melon seeds: "What am I upset about? I will cleanse without him!"

    Who is going to spend the rest of his life with a bad old man?

    Doesn't it fragrant to play cards every day?

    Small headroom: "Oh."

    When Gu Jiao was cooking in the stove, Xiao Jingkong walked in, pulled Gu Jiao's clothes, and said, "Jiao Jiao, I will tell you one thing."

    "What's the matter?" Gu Jiao asked.

    Xiao Jingkong tilted his head and looked at her: "Brother-in-law has a nickname called A Heng, who is aggressive and domineering."

    Although the brother-in-law didn't admit it, he already knew that in his heart, that he was arrogant!

    Gu Jiao looked at him amused: "Really? How do you know?"

    Xiao Jingkong said: "I heard Grandpa Aunty call, I saw Grandpa Auntie that day."

    Gu Jiao: "Oh?"

    Xiao Jingkong sighed: "My brother-in-law and I came back from school. It was at the entrance of the alley. My grandpa called my brother-in-law and screamed A Heng. My brother-in-law ignored him and pulled me away. Afterwards, I asked my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law also arrogantly talked about grandpa. I confessed to the wrong person. Brother-in-law is really unfilial. Even if I don’t want to recognize my grandfather, we can’t treat him like this. Master Jiang taught us to respect the old and love the young.”

    Little Clearance felt that something was wrong that day, and Grandpa Aunt's visit today made him firm his guess.

    The bad brother-in-law was really a ghost that day!

    The bad brother-in-law is an unfilial offspring.

    He can't do this in the future.

    After finishing the complaint, the small clearance deeply felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

    He went to the study and picked up books in other languages ​​that he disliked.

    The bad brother-in-law is unreliable and kind and tired.

    Starting today, he has to work harder to support his family well in the future.

    Inside the stove, Gu Jiao recalled Xiao Jingkong's words.

    Have seen?

    Also called a nickname?

    That said, that person knew Xiao Liulang.

    Judging from Xiao Liulang's reaction, Xiao Liulang is also very likely to know each other.

    According to Gu Jiao's observation of that person, that person obviously knew the old lady too, so it's hard to say whether she is a real couple or not.

    The memory of the old lady is confused, and it is possible to recognize the wrong person.

    This is not the point.

    The point is that the person knows Xiao Liulang and the old lady, and Xiao Liulang also knows him, then does Xiao Liulang know the old lady too?

    At the beginning, saving the old lady and taking in the other party without complaint was not because of his sudden kindness, but because they were old acquaintances?

    County King An also knows the old lady...

    Gu Jiao used firewood sticks to write a few names on the ashes.

    The old lady, An Junwang, Xiao Liulang, Xuanping Houfu, A Heng.

    ...

    But he said that after returning to the carriage, the old man couldn't calm down for a long time.

    Empress Dowager Zhuang did not deal with Xuanping Houfu, nor did she deal with herself, and Xiao Liulang was both a member of Xuanping Houfu and his own student.

    Putting Xiao Liulang next to the evil demon queen, the old man was not at ease.

    "No, I have to stare at her!"

    The old man returned to the capital this time because a close friend of many years was critically ill and died soon, so he came to see him for the last time.

    When saw it, planned to go back to the mountain forest.

    But now, he has changed his mind.

    He quietly used the contacts he had been quiet for many years to rent a small house in Bishui Hutong, but coincidentally, it was next door to Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao.

    The old man moved in numbly.

    He does not have many domestic servants, only Liu Quan and a temporary hired coachman.

    On the first day he moved in, he set up a ladder and stood on the wall, poking and observing the movement of the Demon Empress.

    The old lady found him too early.

    This horrible old man does not want her when he is young, but wants to get her back when he is old?

    Go dreaming!

    The old lady resisted the urge to hack someone to death, and went back to the house to sleep.

    But she was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't swallow this breath!

    She went to the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and went to the next door angrily.

    The old man stared at him for a while and became sleepy, and went back to the house to sleep.

    The difference is that he fell asleep.

    But when he was half asleep, he felt a chill on his neck. He woke up instantly, and he opened his eyes to see the old lady pointing at him with a kitchen knife.

    He was startled: "What are you doing?"

    The old lady put a kitchen knife on his neck and said domineeringly: "Hand over the private money!"

    The old Jijiu who was inexplicably robbed: "...!!!"
