After returning home in three dynasties, Gu Jingyun first took Li Baolu to the Qin Mansion to meet his uncle and aunt. After all, Baolu was raised by them and married here.

After coming out of the Qin Mansion, he turned to Li's House in Liu'er Hutong in the outer city.

"Oh, it's the second aunt who's back!" A middle-aged woman in snow green bijia happened to come out of Li's house, and when she saw their carriage stopped immediately, she turned her head and said to Mei with a smile: "I forgot , Today is the second aunt's return home, fortunately she was a step late, otherwise we would not be able to see the beauty of our second aunt."

Li Baolu helped Gu Jingyun's hand to get out of the car, glanced at her and then 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 Are the cousins ​​at home?"

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

Li Baolu ignored her, and only smiled at Mrs. Mei, "I'll go in and say hello to Second Uncle."

After finishing speaking, she walked in side by side with Gu Jingyun, the middle-aged woman's smile froze, and her face was a bit 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 curled her lips slightly, "It's the maid sent by Shunde, saying that the second grandma of Dafang wants to see my mother. A servant is so proud, but we still have to hold her. Why, the second sister also touched her." Is it 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 wanted us to take them to see you." See you, but we didn't agree."

"Your father didn't agree either?"

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

I have to listen.

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

Gu Jingyun bowed and saluted, "My niece and son-in-law have met my second uncle."

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

Although Li Hong hated Li Baolu, he was even more afraid of her, coupled with a guilty conscience, no matter how much he hated her, he still had to smile every time he met her.

The Li family has lived in Liu'er Hutong since they settled in the capital. This small house was obtained by Li Baolu after he stole the servants, and it is for them to live in for the time being.

It is not easy to live in the capital, but they have solved the most difficult housing problem, and the rest is food and clothing.

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

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

Tongxintang is the property of the Li family in Shunde. Most of the prefectures and prefectures in Chu have branch halls. 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 medicine business in the future. medical knowledge.

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

Li Jun was silent.

Seeing this, Li Baolu snorted lightly, turned to Hongtao and said, "Bring the gift I prepared for my second uncle and second aunt, go and invite second aunt in, so that I can greet second aunt."

Heart followed the sound and left, but it was not only the second aunt who came back, the middle-aged woman also came in, but this time she was much more honest, she followed behind Mei with her head slightly lowered, with a humble smile on her face.

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

Li Baolu felt better now.

The middle-aged woman looked at Mrs. Mei, and Mrs. Mei hurriedly introduced to Baolu: "Baolu, this Sister Shao is the nanny of the second grandma of Dafang in Shunde's hometown."

The middle-aged woman took the opportunity to take a step forward, bowed to Li Baolu and said: "My servant Shao has met the second aunt."

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

Mother Shao smiled and said, "Our second grandma didn't know that the second aunt would return to Li's house today. If she knew, she would definitely come to see the second aunt. This time our second grandma came to the capital to congratulate the second grandma on the order of the old lady. My aunt and second uncle are overjoyed."

A cold light flashed in Li Baolu's eyes, and he said with a slight smile: "Thank you, old lady and second mistress, for your deep friendship."

Then he picked up the teacup and drank tea without saying anything more.

Aunt Shao's face froze, Li He continued to smile and said: "Your second grandma is too polite, even if second sister doesn't come home today, your second grandma can come to our house for a while, even though our Li family is It’s a poor family, but some things for hospitality are still available.”

Mrs. Mei was startled when she heard the words, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab the corner of her daughter's clothes, but Li He didn't care about her, and just smiled at the embarrassed and ugly mother Shao: "But our things are as good as the second sister brought them. Yes, it's also a coincidence that you came here, just now I saw that some of the tonics brought by the second sister are good, why don't you bring some back to your second grandma, it's our Li family borrowing flowers to present Buddha, please second grandma don't mind."

Li Liu immediately took the hearts to pick gifts cleverly, picked out several boxes in a row and stuffed them to Aunt Shao, which were full of various supplements.

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

Mother Shao almost cried out, these gifts are precious in other people's homes, but in Li's family, what are these gifts?

Li Shi runs a medical center and a pharmacy, and the most indispensable thing is medicinal materials and supplements. They specially stuffed her with these gifts that look expensive but are not of much use to her. , to express dissatisfaction with Li Shi of Shunde.

Mother Shao felt both regretful and annoyed, regretting that she should not have stepped on the Li family to curry favor with Li Baolu just now, and was annoyed at Li Baolu and the Li family's ignorance of good and evil.

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

In Li's house, the Li family members were sitting opposite Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu. Li Baolu asked Hongtao to distribute the gifts they had prepared for them, and said, "I want to burn incense for my grandparents, my parents, and my parents."

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

Mei's face was worried and frightened, "Brother Jun, is it really okay for us to just send Aunt Shao away like this?"

"What's wrong?" Li Hong suddenly slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily, "I should have driven her away long ago, but you are worried about this and that, and you really think our team is easy to bully? It made me anxious, so I went to knock on Deng Wengu to sue the imperial court. The late emperor rehabilitated our family. Why didn’t the Shunde Li family let my father go back to the genealogy? The Tongxintang also has a share in our branch and wants to take it privately , there is no door!"

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

Li Jun hurriedly followed.

Mrs. Mei looked left and right, and finally left her husband and ran after her son. Seeing that he was the only one left in the front hall, Li Hong fell down angrily.

The tablets of the Li family were enshrined in a small room in the backyard. Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun went in after washing their hands. There were only four tablets inside.

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

The two of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them after burning incense. Li Baolu looked up at the words on the tablet, recalling the intermittent memories of her childhood, her eyes blushed.

"They all think that I was a fool when I was young, I didn't understand anything, I didn't even know how to dress and eat, but in fact I have memories," Li Baolu said softly: "I remember things very early, but at that time I My mind is chaotic, and I often fall into lethargy, 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, and she became enlightened after being hit by the death of her parents. Such things are rare, but they are not uncommon, so Gu Jingyun never cared, but he didn't expect Baolu to remember things so early?

"At that time, I vaguely knew that my state was not right, so I didn't show it even when I was awake. I remembered my father and my mother. They only had me as a child, and the best things in the family were left to me."

"They firmly believe that I can be good, but they are afraid that I will be a fool all my life, so they are very kind to Brother Jun." Li Baolu suppressed the tears in his eyes and said, "They often bring Brother Jun to me, holding a good The things I ate coaxed him to protect me, take care of me, and treat me well... I have forgotten what they looked like these years, but I still remember clearly what they did."

Gu Jingyun held her hand.

Li Baolu shook her head slightly, "You think grandma is very kind to me and considerate of me, but in fact the best thing for me at home is my grandfather and my parents. , but in fact she loves Jun the most, and the one she relies on the most is Brother Jun, and among the girls she likes the obedient Liu Er the most."

It's just that her parents died, and she became Dafang's only bloodline, so grandmother especially valued her and put her on top of her heart.

But at that time, all my grandmother wanted was for her to grow up and get married safely. She loves her dearly, but it is more of a commitment to her parents and a responsibility to continue the 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 ones who truly love her selflessly and without any 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 the Xinglin world and the world knew that he was wronged, so he didn't have much obsession with rehabilitating him. The two things that haunt him the most in his life are: Concubine Zhao is silent, acquiescing to his crime; the second is that the family sent him out of the clan."

"It started with Concubine Zhao, and Concubine Zhao completed it. I have helped him with this wish. As for the Shunde Li Clan," Li Baolu paused and said, "If it wasn't for grandfather's wish, I actually think it would be good to have another clan."

Gu Jingyun looked at her and saw her teary eyes, he knew that she still couldn't let go of her grandfather's wish, which was the old man's last wish after all.

Li Baolu knocked on the ground, letting her tears drip onto the floor, she slowly raised her head, and said tenaciously: "Brother Jingyun, can you accompany me back to Qiongzhou to welcome them back?"

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