Chapter 172 Fleeing Years
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cheng has always been very quiet. She only lives her life in the yard every day. Whenever she has time, she goes to Siqian Hall to talk to Mrs. Xie. ╞26nbsp;╡ Moreover, she keeps Cheng Siyi tightly.
He took the initiative to hire an ordinary-looking maid to serve him.
It seems that he understood, Yu Zhu concentrated on his sewing while listening to the little maid's report.
After signaling the little maid to go down, Mrs. Ruan stepped forward to help Yu Zhu separate the lines, and persuaded her naggingly: "Don't take it seriously. After all, it is mother and daughter who are connected. Even my aunt has done wrong things before. As long as she is willing to put her mind down."
Please beg me for your figure, how can a mother refuse to forgive her daughter?"
"That's the truth." Yao's mother also supported.
Yu Zhu nodded: "Oh." He didn't know if he heard it. He held up his robe and asked, "Is this the case here? I always did it wrong before?"
Mother Ruan couldn't laugh or cry. After giving her step-by-step guidance, she talked about another thing: "The eldest lady has a name. From now on, she will be called Sister Xin."
"Who gave the name?" Yu Zhu asked curiously, "Master or eldest young master?"
"It's the eldest young master." Ruan's mother said with a smile, "I've been going to see him every day these days."
Yuzhu became interested. He was tired after sitting for so long, so he ordered Qinsi to take Xiaoxun out and lead him to Ji's yard.
First I went to see Mrs. Ji, talked to her for a while, and then went to Aunt Chen's yard.
I haven't seen her for many days. Aunt Chen is much more haggard and pitiful than the last time I saw her.
When Yu Zhu saw her, she immediately raised her eyebrows and scolded Linlang who was waiting beside her: "What's going on? My aunt is so thin, how do you serve her?"
Linlang was punished by Yu Zhu last time. Until now, she still has no monthly payment and no way to complain. She has to live a miserable life as a maid in the big kitchen, without the latest jewelry and clothes.
She was laughed at and looked down upon by the maids in other courtyards. The little maids who had seen her fawning over her in the past pretended not to see her when they saw her, and left laughing...
"Excuse me, Second Madam. It's not your fault, it's my aunt who is too sad and can't eat." Linlang was so shocked when Yu Zhu asked about it that she opened her mouth and walked out.
Yu Zhu looked at Aunt Chen's face for a moment, and only smiled when he looked at her uncomfortably: "So that's the case, I understand."
At this time, there were footsteps outside, and then the door curtain rang, and Mother Gu came in with a small baby in her arms.
"Second wife, peace"
Yu Zhu smiled and told her not to be too polite, and then stepped forward to take a look at the swaddled baby.
The six-month-old baby girl is already much whiter and tenderer. Her little mouth is open and drooling, and you can see a small white dot on her pink gum.
Mother Gu used a soft cloth to wipe away her saliva and said, "My sister is teething, so she drools a lot."
"Sister Xin." Yu Zhu called with a smile, stretched out a finger and tapped her little nose.
"Ah - ah -." A pair of dark eyes followed the sapphire ring on Yu Zhu's finger, apparently not realizing that Sister Xin was calling her.
Yu Zhu felt soft in her heart. After so many years in her past life, she seemed to have never been connected to her baby. It was a very strange feeling.
"Hold it down. The autumn wind is getting colder day by day. From now on, it is better to hold Sister Xin out of the house less often." Instructing Mother Gu to hold the child down, Yu Zhu glanced at Aunt Chen with satisfaction, regardless of whether she realized that Xin
Sister's son gradually gained the affection of Cheng Siyi, and then he took good care of her. But Sister Xin's son was obviously taken good care of. As long as the child could grow up safely, she didn't care about anything else - that was Ji's business.
When Yu Zhu went to see Sister Xin, Bao Zhu's house was busy.
In addition to Chan Lu, Cai Yun, Bi Rui, and Qiu Wen, there were also Chun Xi and Lan Ge in the room. Some of the older maids came, and everyone sat or stood around a round table in the middle of the room, looking at the table.
The display is full of jewelry.
Caiyun took a silver hairpin and played with it carefully, exclaiming, "Madam is so generous. Such exquisite craftsmanship must have come from Wanbao Pavilion."
"Sister Baozhu is so lucky." Chanlu became much timid and waited for Caiyun to speak before speaking: "Guanshi Shao's good looks are really rare. He and Sister Baozhu are a perfect match."
"Not only that, the second master and his wife also gave me some silver." Chunxi looked at the plate of shining silver nuggets next to him with envy, "It's about sixty taels."
Baozhu's face was red, and his snow-white neck was covered with a thin pink color. He glanced at everyone with anger and shame, lowered his head and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just following the orders of the second master and my wife."
"Why, you won't let me in?"
Just as he was talking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the door.
"It's Sister Pearl."
"Sister Pearl, here you go... open the door quickly."
Caiyun, who was closest to the door, hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Zhenzhu in. Lan Ge brought an embroidery pier and placed it next to Zhenzhu, "Sister Zhenzhu, please sit down."
Pearl is the most powerful maid in the Xie family's house. Although she is not as useful as Mother Yang, she can still not be underestimated. Seeing her coming, the other maids are also very good-looking, and after a few jokes, they look at her with a wink.
Seeing that everyone had left, Pearl stopped smiling and said, "Is this what you want?"
"This is the fate of people like us. Instead of spending half a lifetime just to be an old aunt, I might as well be a serious matron. At least I can hear my children call me mother." Baozhu looked calmly and looked directly into her sister's eyes.
.
Pearl sneered: "You spent so much effort to become the second master's wife, and finally you just want to marry a steward?"
Bao Zhu seemed not to have heard anything and murmured: "Who wouldn't like a person like the Second Master... But, I personally heard from the Second Master that there is only one Second Wife."
"How is that possible?" Pearl also looked shocked.
"Hmph, although I may not be as long as Qiuwen with the second master, I still know a little bit about it... Just don't say it. Once you say it, you will definitely do it." Baozhu sighed and said with a wry smile:
"If it weren't for this, I would still have the desire to compete... Even though my wife is doing well in everything and her family background is noble, there will always be times when she is young and pregnant. I can always find opportunities, but..."
Unlike Qiu Wen, she had to make plans for her future...
Pearl was stunned, looking at her sister as if she didn't recognize her, and finally sighed: "Since you have an idea, let's do it."
There was silence for a while, and after a while Pearl asked again: "Is that Chunxian you..."
"What does it have to do with me?" Bao Zhu said without moving an eyebrow: "Sister Chunxian was so greedy for the bracelet that she fell into someone else's trap and took advantage of the young man... She is not successful, and Manager Shao wants to marry a wife.
, my wife, and the maids who are accompanying her are all still young, so it’s absolutely normal for the second master to choose me..."
With a smile on her face, she said, "Sister, why did you say this?"
The maid had a low life. Ever since she saw Chun Xing's miserable and angry look before she was hit and killed a few years ago, she has never forgotten it. Sometimes she would also think, why, it was clearly not Chun Xing's fault, and it was her first love.
Master Mo is reckless and domineering, how can a little maid resist him?
It's a pity that Chun Xing died with the child in her belly in the end, but Master Mo is still alive and well, and I'm afraid he has forgotten the sins he has done...
She doesn't want to be a maid, she doesn't want to live as hard as Sister Chunxing, so no matter what the outcome is, she has to fight for it before she is willing to...
When Cheng Xunxun came back in the evening, it was already late, and it was already past dinner time. When he went to Siqian Hall, Yu Zhu asked Mother Ruan to go down and heat up the rice and dishes. When Cheng Xunxun came into the house covered in cold dew,
What greets you is a warm and humid air mixed with the aroma of food and the delicate taste of chrysanthemums.
Yu Zhu stood in front of the door, with a warm light behind her, smiling sweetly: "My husband is back."
Cheng Xunxun smiled slightly, with soft eyes, and went to the clean room to change clothes. The moment the two passed each other, he whispered in her ear: "Be good."
Yuzhu was embarrassed. From that day on, there seemed to be something different between the two of them. She couldn't explain what it was specifically, but she just felt that it felt much more natural... Could it be considered a true performance?
After finishing the table full of food in a hurry, he had time to stop and talk: "How are the clothes?"
Yu Zhu looked in the direction of the sewing basket with embarrassment: "It's okay, it's okay."
I was laughed at very rudely by Cheng Xunxun. Many days have passed and the robe has not yet been formed.
Yu Zhu had no choice but to defend: "This is called slow work and meticulous work. I have to do the best if I want to do it. Is it possible that my husband likes to wear rough clothes?"
There have been more and more quarrels like this recently. Yu Zhu felt a little ashamed. It was really getting better and better. Suddenly he remembered something and changed the subject: "How is the Jiang family? Isn't it that there was a lot of trouble in the past few days?
Is it very fierce?"
Cheng Xunxun raised his eyebrows at her, took a sip of hot tea, "I have been busy for several days, but unfortunately I haven't found any support. Now I have to ask the patrol team to patrol in front of Jiang...'s house more often to avoid those rogues.
The Xian Gang came to the door to cause trouble... The rest have to be searched slowly." There is really no way, the Jiang family is also suffering and cannot tell, no wonder a powerful woman like the old lady of the Jiang family has to hang herself.
But Mrs. Cheng is really calm. Is it possible that she is planning to divorce? Otherwise, why would she go back to her parents' home and not even care about anything about her husband's family? She only cares about the relationship between mother and daughter every day.
Yuzhu's eyes turned to Cheng Xunxun. The man was probably thinking about the Jiang family. He frowned slightly and stared at the tea leaves in the cup. His long fingers unconsciously touched the smooth porcelain surface, and his whole body was filled with joy.
A sense of calmness and reliability.
Thinking about it, her thoughts drifted back to the scar on his back. Yu Zhu pursed her lips, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward.
