Chapter 35
On the first day of July, Mrs. Lu returned home from the Eastern Capital with her two sons.

Xu Chunjun got the letter early and went to the outer city to meet him.

The wife is dressed in plain clothes without hairpins, and she is thinner than when she left Beijing.

"Madam returned from worshiping the Buddha with more energy, cleanliness and kindness. It's really gratifying." Xu Chunjun bowed, took the hand from his wife and said with a smile.

As he said that, he greeted the two young masters again. The wife's two sons were well-raised, both gentle and respectful, and dignified.

"It's been hard for you these days," Madam said, holding Xu Chunjun's hand, "Let's go back to the mansion and have a good talk."

Back in the mansion, maids and mothers-in-law surrounded her.

Mrs. Lu said: "I'm tired, you all go down! Jun Chun and Mama Ye stay and talk."

Everyone then retreated, Xu Chunjun said: "Madam, lie on the couch! The journey has been tiring, and when we get home, we should be loose."

The madam smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's you who really worked hard. I brought you some things, and they will open the box and take them out for you later."

Xu Chunjun said with a smile that he was not tired, and thanked his wife.

Mother Ye smiled from the side: "Ms. Xu is very attentive to the housekeeper. I didn't help much because the second girl gave birth prematurely. Everything is taken care of by Ms. Xu herself. This means that she is capable. If it is another person, I am afraid that she will not be able to handle it." .”

Xu Chunjun said modestly: "Mama Ye has praised too much, she will not be away for a long time, not to mention that I am really stretched left and right."

"Everything has a beginning. You are still young, so it is inevitable that you will find it difficult. Just practice and practice." Madam laughed.

After talking with Madam for a while, Xu Chunjun said: "Mother Ye, please accompany Madam, I will go to the kitchen to have a look."

The lady said: "You go! Come and have lunch with me."

After Xu Chunjun left, his wife asked Ye's mother: "How is Chunjun being the head of the family?"

Mama Ye said: "It's not that I praised her, Miss Xu is really careful and fair, and she can prevent small things from happening."

Madam nodded and said: "That's good, I thought she was pretty good."

Mother Ye smiled and said, "Madam's eyesight is always good."

Madam asked again: "No one is too difficult for her, right?"

Mother Ye said: "I didn't when I was here. I didn't hear that someone made a false report on purpose in the past few days, but it was dismissed by Miss Xu at a glance. Afterwards, no one dared to do it again. I also heard..."

"What did you hear? Just say what you want, can I still punish you?" Madam Ye said when she saw that Mama Ye was hesitant.

"I heard that Aunt Wan lost something, and Aunt Qi came to make trouble." Mother Ye also told what she had heard.

"What happened next?" Madam asked.

"It was all right after that." Mother Ye said, "I don't know the details. If Madam wants to know the details, I'll just ask."

Madam waved her hand and said: "No need, since the trivial matter has already been resolved, there is no need to bring it up again. Let's inquire again, but it will be boring."

Mother Ye answered yes.

Madam said again: "Speaking of which, Master Hou will soon return to Beijing."

"That's right, Lord Hou has been away from Beijing for two or three months." Mother Ye said.

Madam sighed: "If Master Hou is in Beijing, I'm afraid I will miss it with Chun Jun. This is God's wish to fulfill me."

The reason why Xu Chunjun found her was because Hou Chengyi was not in Beijing.According to Xu Chunjun and Xu Lang's original plan, after Xu Chunjun entered Beijing, he was going to find Cheng Yihou directly, and begged him to find a way to exonerate Xu Daoan.

Mother Ye said: "Madam is Miss Xu's noble person. If she goes to beg Lord Hou, at most she will spare her brother's crime."

The lady shook her head with a chuckle and said, "Who knows? Sometimes I wonder if I did something wrong. What happens in the future depends on her fate."

Although Mrs. Hou Ye believes in Buddhism, she is not a Buddha after all, she is just a layman.

So Mama Ye didn't mention this matter, just said something else.

After a while, seeing his wife was sleepy, he said, "Madam, sleep for a while!"

Then go out, leaving only two girls waiting outside.

Xu Chunjun went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and Madam Wang, who was in charge of the kitchen, knew that his wife had returned home, so she took the initiative to ask Xu Chunjun what meal to prepare for his wife at noon.

"Madam is in the Eastern Capital, and she eats vegetarian food. Naturally, there is no need to eat vegetarian food when she returns home, but it should not be too greasy, so as not to be difficult to adapt for a while." Xu Chunjun said to Wang Mama: "But it can't be too bland, even if Madam If you don't want to be rude, I'm afraid the two elder brothers can't stand it anymore."

"Young lady is right," Ms. Wang nodded with a smile. "Ham and sour bamboo shoot soup is Madam's favorite drink on weekdays. There are also sea bass and tripe shreds, plus a few seasonal fresh vegetables, and it's about the same."

When Xu Chunjun first entered the mansion, he worked under her hands.At that time, she thought that Xu Chunjun was good, but she didn't expect that Xu Chunjun would be able to take care of his wife in just one month.

"Mom arranged it very well, just don't forget to add another dish of cold gluten, the second young master called for it." Xu Chunjun reminded.

"I'll ask them to do it right away! Girls, don't worry, it's very hot. You can sit under this tree for a while. There are some snacks that are ready. I'll bring them up for you to try." Mama Wang said enthusiastically.

"Thank you Mama Wang, but I still have something to do, besides, I will have dinner soon, so let's talk about it another day!" Xu Chunjun politely refused.

Although Mrs. Hou trusts her very much, these servants are willing to flatter her now.

But Xu Chunjun has never been willing to be a domineering, she knows her identity in her heart, and she also knows why these people treat her well.

It was almost noon, and Madam slept for about an hour, feeling refreshed a lot.

Xu Chunjun waited on his wife to wash, and he personally tied her hair.

"The weather is really hot." Even though a maid was playing a fan beside her, Mrs. Hou still felt that the heat was unbearable.

"Madam was asleep, so she didn't put ice in the room. They have gone to fetch ice now, and when they are settled, close the windows, and the room will cool down in a short while." Xu Chunjun tied up a bun of ingots for his wife: "The hair bun is taller, it is convenient for Madam to take a bath after meals."

Xu Chunjun reckoned that his wife would not go to bed immediately after lunch, but would probably take a bath, so he had asked someone to prepare water.

"You are such a thoughtful, good-natured boy, with a good temper." Madam couldn't help but praise, "God has always created people in different classes. There are smart ones like you, and some are stupid and confused. But almost all of them are neither up nor down, with a middle-of-the-road posture."

"Madam praised me too much, but in fact, I'm just a middle-aged person at best." Xu Chunjun didn't think that he was very smart, "If there are some merits in me, it's because of Madam's guidance."

"You, you will always flatter me in turn. Let's serve lunch. The two of us will finish our meal soon. You can go and rest."
