Zhangsun Yu did not know about the servant girl's accidental discovery. At this moment, he had already followed Zhangsun Chong to the courtyard where the female members of the Zhangsun Clan lived.
This courtyard was quite big. There were at least dozens of people living here. As the Duke of the Great Tang, Zhangsun Wuji naturally had more than one woman.
After all, this was the Great Tang. In order to spread their family, even a wife would sometimes think of ways to get her man a concubine.
It could only be said that this was a wonderful era! For men.
"Mother, your son is here to pay his respects."
Zhangsun Chong gently knocked on his mother's door.
"Come in."
A gentle voice sounded from inside. Zhangsun Chong nodded at Zhangsun Yu, then gently pushed open the door and brought Zhangsun Yu in.
In the room, Madam Zhangsun was sitting in a cubicle with her back facing them, looking at a painting on the wall. Two servant girls were waiting on him.
Zhangsun Chong was not surprised. Ever since he was sensible, his mother had always liked to do this, always staring at that painting.
However, Zhangsun Chong seemed to have thought of something.
He wondered why he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Zhangsun Yu's mother's memorial tablet. Because he had seen the name Zhangsun Xiu 'er in his mother's painting!
However, he thought it was just a coincidence.
"Greetings, mother."
Although Zhangsun Chong was a playboy and a prodigal son outside, he was still a playboy. However, he was still very filial, especially to his mother.
Zhangsun Yu looked at the back view in front of him and cupped his hands respectfully.
"Junior Zhangsun Yu greets Furen.”
This was his aunt, his elder, so it was only right.
Madam Zhangsun nodded. Clearly, she had already known about Zhangsun Yu's matter in advance. After all, although it was only Zhangsun Yu's second time in Chang 'an, his name had already spread throughout the Chang' an officialdom.
After all, the Emperor had promised him the title of Marquis, which made many people envious.
After the founding dukes of the Great Tang, county dukes, and county dukes, the marquis was the most important.
As for the state duke, county duke, county duke, and so on, only the first batch of founding ministers had them. Even after the Great Tang was established, no more than three marquises had been conferred titles.
Not to mention, it was the younger ones on Zhangsun Yu's side. At twelve years old, he was definitely the youngest Marquis of the Great Tang.
"I have long heard of Young Master Zhangsun's great name. The cotton that Young Master Zhangsun created is a good deed that benefits the people of the world.”
"Presumably, the people of the world will thank Young Master Zhangsun in the future.”
"Speaking of which, Young Master Zhangsun's surname is actually the same as my Zhangsun Clan. This must be fate. Perhaps I…"
As she spoke, Madam Zhangsun turned around. However, when she saw Zhangsun Yu's face, her entire body trembled.
He stopped talking instantly and his eyes widened as he stared at Zhangsun Yu in shock.
Zhangsun Chong scratched his head. What was going on? What happened to his mother?
Zhangsun Yu also looked at himself up and down in confusion. Was there anything wrong with his clothes? Zhangsun Chong had prepared this outfit for him.
Compared to this brocade robe, he actually preferred his own light cotton clothes. However, Zhangsun Chong said that his status would be different in the future, so he could no longer dress like a commoner in all aspects.
Trembling, Madam Zhangsun's body actually trembled as she slowly stood up.
He walked up to Zhangsun Yu step by step and reached out his wrinkled hand to caress Zhangsun Yu's cheek.
Zhangsun Yu subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he eventually stopped.
"Child, is your name Zhangsun Yu?"
Madam Zhangsun asked softly, as if she had fallen into a certain memory.
Zhangsun Yu nodded.
Madam Zhangsun asked again.
"Who gave you this name?”
Zhangsun Yu was puzzled. Was there a problem with his name?
However, Zhangsun Yu still told the truth to the elder in front of him.
"It's my mother, and I also take my mother's surname.”
Upon hearing Zhangsun Yu's words, Madam Zhangsun's eyes became even more agitated. Her eyes were even red as if she was about to cry. However, she forced herself to calm down in the end.
She slowly stretched out her hand and took Zhangsun Yu's hand, leading him forward.
He pointed at a painting on the wall and said to Zhangsun Yu.
"Yu 'Er, what do you think of this painting? I drew this with my own hands sixteen years ago.”
When Madam Zhangsun was young, she was a talented woman known throughout the world. Her painting skills could be said to be at the peak of perfection, lifelike and lifelike. Zhangsun Yu subconsciously ignored the sudden affectionate greeting from Madam Zhangsun.
"Hmm?"
When Zhangsun Yu saw this painting up close, his entire body trembled. The emotions in his eyes instantly boiled. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a strong heart, he would have cried out long ago.
Because the woman in the portrait was his mother! Although she looked much younger, Zhangsun Yu could recognize her mother's face even from the portrait.
Not to mention, beside the character, there were the words Zhangsun Xiu 'er.
One of the two women in the portrait was gentle and dignified, while the other held a long sword in her hand and posed as if she was dancing. Shockingly, that gentle and dignified Zhangsun Wan 'er was naturally Empress Zhangsun.
And the young girl who was dancing with a sword in her hand was his mother.
"Yes, Madam's painting skills are extraordinary. The woman in the painting seems to have jumped out.”
Zhangsun Yu forcefully suppressed his longing for his mother and his surging tears as he calmly spoke to Madam Zhangsun.
Madam Zhangsun was a character who had followed Zhangsun Wuji around the world and founded the Great Tang. She had been watching Zhangsun Yu's change in that instant.
In her heart, she was even more certain of her guess and had basically confirmed it.
