After settling down, Zhou Huaiming looked at Zhou Ying and asked, "Who is that girl you brought back?"

Gu Chengrui didn't hide anything and said the matter briefly: "Looking at the portrait, I think she should be Yang Wanning, the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, that is, my cousin.

But I'm not sure if I haven't seen her for a few years, so I have to wait until she wakes up to confirm. "

When Zhou Huaiming heard him mention the Yang family, he hesitated to say: "Your aunt is gone."

"It's gone." Gu Chengrui looked at him with astonishment after hearing this.

But soon relieved, he sneered and said nothing more.

"You have just arrived in the capital, so clean up well, and I will tell you in detail after dinner."

"Okay, then let's talk later." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he got up and sent him out.

It just so happened that the servants also prepared hot water, and the husband and wife took a good bath and changed into clean clothes before returning to the living room.

And Zhou Huaiming was already waiting outside, when he saw them coming out, he immediately asked someone to serve food: "After traveling for so many days, do you want some wine to relieve fatigue?"

"Then let's do it less." Gu Chengrui agreed as he thought about the Yang family's affairs to discuss.

Seeing this, Zhou Huaiming asked someone to take a small jar of white wine and a small jar of fruit wine.

The meal is quite rich, a large plate of beef ribs, a piece of braised carp, a piece of fried cabbage, a piece of sweet and sour shredded radish, and finally a plate of buns and an egg soup.

As soon as the dishes were served, Zhou Huaiming asked someone to pour the wine and said: "The year is not good and things are limited, don't mind it."

"In that case, this is quite good, we brothers will do one first." Gu Chengrui shook his head.

"Siblings, let's go together, the three of us haven't had a drink together for a long time." Zhou Huaiming looked at Zhou Ying and said.

Zhou Ying had no choice but to raise her glass and said, "Then wish Brother Zhou a happy day."

"Haha, okay, let's do it." Zhou Huaiming raised his glass.

After drinking a glass of wine, he also knew that they were hungry, so he didn't persuade them to drink anymore.

Instead, one of them picked up a piece of beef ribs and said, "How about the chef's skills in this house?"

Zhou Ying took a sip and said, "To be honest, the craftsmanship is quite good, but for my taste, it's a little salty."

Zhou Huaiming nodded and said, "It's true. I'll remind them later that you can put less salt in your meals."

"It's not necessary, we can't live for a few days."

"Even if you have a meal, you have to eat comfortably. Don't worry, it's not a problem." After Zhou Huaiming finished speaking, he entertained them and began to eat.

After the meal, Gu Chengrui asked: "Brother Zhou, do you know why my aunt disappeared and when did she disappear?"

"It is said that he died of illness during the snow disaster.

Later, I also sent someone to investigate, but only found out that your aunt has been ill since the Gu family was ransacked. During the snowstorm, it was too cold and lack of medical care to survive. "

Gu Chengrui was annoyed when he heard this. The wife of a dignified second-rank official would be short of medicine and medicine. What kind of precious medicinal materials must that be?

Zhou Huaiming knew he didn't believe it when he heard his ironic laughter.

He didn't believe it at the time, but during the snowstorm, the capital was indeed trapped for a period of time, and everyone knew this.

So it is difficult to judge whether it is artificial or really caused by lack of medicine.

Afterwards, without hiding anything, he told him what he had found.

After hearing this, Gu Chengrui couldn't judge for a while, but he was sure that his cheap aunt was bullied.

"My mother didn't die from lack of medicinal materials, but from freezing to death." Yang Wanning walked in with the support of her mother-in-law at this time.
