Chapter 89 Statement ([-]rd)

In the early morning of the next day, Mangzhong woke up Lin Zhao softly. She opened her eyes sleepily, and saw that the sun was shining outside, and the thin gauze curtains were fluttering like clouds in front of the floor-to-ceiling wooden windows. , what time is it?"

Mang Zhong knelt down to help her put on her shoes, and said softly, "Ma'am, don't be in a hurry, it's only half an hour now."

"Second hour?"

Lin Zhao said again and again: "Why is it so late, I still have to go to Dongjun Terrace to pay my respects to my mother-in-law. Father-in-law doesn't have to go to court today, he must be in Hengwu Courtyard, I can't delay."

Mangzhong hurriedly called Xiaohan in, changed Lin Zhao's clothes, and said, "Ma'am, didn't the master and the old lady tell you that you don't need to greet him once every three days, what are you doing so obediently?"

"It's one thing for father-in-law and mother-in-law to be considerate, but it's another thing for me to be respectful and rigorous. I can't really break the rules if someone says such a few words, and my mother didn't teach me that way."

Lin Zhao changed into a lake-blue cross-neck skirt and wore a simple bun. Mang Zhong took a small mirror and took a look in front of his face. After applying a layer of water cream, it looks beautiful, and you don’t even need to apply makeup.”

Xiao Han handed Lin Zhao a bowl of tea, and asked her to rinse with a spittoon, and echoed, "That's right, our wife's name is... Bai Bi Wu Xia."

Lin Zhao looked at her with admiration: "Your book is not in vain."

Xiao Han giggled.

It was too late to use the food, so Lin Zhao hurriedly went downstairs. Just as he was going down, he was slightly startled, looking at the woman who was kneeling in front of the desk, helping him sort out the ancient books to be transcribed today, with a meticulous attitude, The movements are also gentle and correct, and it is Fu Jichun from Sige.

Lin Zhao walked down the stairs slowly, leaning on the railing, and smiled softly, "Why are you here?"

Fu Jichun raised his head and said with a smile: "Madam is awake, Madam Kang'an." He bowed his head obediently, "I wanted to come this morning to greet Madam, but seeing Madam still asleep, I must have written late last night, and I didn't have time to collect this table. So I took it for my wife and waited here by the way."

"You have a heart."

Lin Zhao then went on: "It's just that these are usually done by the maids. Now you are an aunt, although you can't compare to a wife, but you are also half a master. How can you do these things."

Fu Jichun hurriedly said: "My lady is wrong. I remember my previous identity and never dare to forget it. It is my blessing to be able to serve the young master and wife in Xue's mansion. Willingly."

Lin Zhao blinked, smiled, and said, "You are more sensible than her."

The joy on Fu Jichun's face froze slightly, he knew that Lin Zhao was referring to Xu Yinhuan, and he never thought that this person could see through his own heart and not say anything, but said it so straightforwardly.

"lady……"

"Forget it, I have to go to Dongjun Terrace to pay my respects to the elder. You have been busy all morning, so you can use the morning food in my building before leaving."

After Lin Zhao finished speaking, he glanced at Mang Zhong, the man stopped with his head down, and asked Xiao Han to follow Lin Zhao out.

Fu Jichun thought about Lin Zhao's words just now, since he praised himself for being sensible, but he didn't talk too much to himself, and left a meal after the end, this slap was a bit unpredictable.

"Auntie, please sit down."

Mangzhong came over, helped Fu Jichun to sit down, called Han Lu and Xiaoxue to bring in the prepared food, turned his head and said with a smile: "Our wife's stomach has always been a little weak, and there is no meat in the morning, most of it is porridge and side dishes. I don't know if my aunt is used to eating or not."

Fu Jichun laughed and said it was okay.

When the food was brought to the court, Grain Grain helped her prepare vegetables. Fu Jichun looked at it, bowed his head and said, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Madam for allowing me to eat fine clothes and silks."

Mangzhong didn't look at her, just smiled lightly and said: "My wife's mother's name must have been heard by my aunt before, she was the eldest daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and she was the most clean family in Qingjing, and then married my wife's father, It is well known in the capital that the general dotes on Aunt Xie. Although it is not the case that spoiling concubines and destroying wives is commonplace, but Madam's mother has never been jealous of favors. She was raised by our old Madam, and she has taught her all her life , I dare not say anything else, I boast that I have a heart, and I will not compete with concubines."

Hearing this, Fu Jichun nodded thoughtfully.

"There is always a heart-to-heart relationship between people. Although Madam has gained power now and has become the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, she is also walking on thin ice every day because she is a martial artist. In addition, the young master is not in the capital, and there is no one to support her. As for my aunt, in the past The status is low, and now she is sent to be a concubine, and her life is precarious, but fortunately... Auntie, don't worry." Mang Zhong comforted, "Our wife is the most worry-free person, as long as you keep yourself safe, in this world, you will definitely be better than that Xu Yinhuan Much luckier."

Mangzhong said this sincerely, it was an exhortation, and it was also a warning.

Fu Jichun couldn't hear it, so he nodded.
-
"You child, I said that you don't need to say hello, but you came here and didn't take my words to heart."

Mrs. Xue looked at Lin Zhao who was sitting cross-legged in front of the small case. The man was eating porridge with plums and seriously eating it, and said amusedly, "Look, since you are here, I have to get up early to accept your gift, too. Take care of your food, and you will not be allowed to come if you have nothing to do in the future, our Dongjuntai's food is so delicious, I always come with an empty stomach."

Li Su covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and shook her head with Luzhu who was serving beside her.

Lin Zhao looked up: "Rules are the most important thing. Before the daughter-in-law gets married, the mother has explained everything, and the daughter-in-law dare not disobey."

"Your mother is Tang Zhe's legitimate daughter, she is the most disciplined, and everyone in the capital praises her." Mrs. Xue stroked the cat in her arms, and the cat scratched its tail, "She taught you, so I can't say gone."

Lin Zhao smiled and did not answer.

"By the way." Mrs. Xue said, "How about that Xu Yinhuan?"

Lin Zhao heard the words, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and told the truth.

"Alright."

Mrs. Xue said casually: "Don't worry about leaving, she babbles all day long, and those who don't know think her Huai Pavilion is haunted." She sighed, "This Zhao Jing, don't send it if you don't want it. Sending someone to ask for it is still in the name of the first wife, and it can be regarded as putting that Zhang Qing on fire."

Lin Zhao nodded: "In the evening, my daughter-in-law sent someone to tie up the horse and send Xu Yinhuan back."

"Let's go as you came."

Madam Xue nodded in satisfaction.

Lin Zhao continued: "A few days ago, my daughter-in-law also wrote to the young master and told him about it."

"Say something to him."

Mrs. Xue said: "I don't care who he is. You are the serious young wife of the Xue family. Those aunts, the second wife, etc. are all in your hands. How you send them has nothing to do with him. , just remember this, it’s not a good thing for a man to have three wives and four concubines.”

Lin Zhao felt that there was something in Mrs. Xue's words, but he didn't understand for a while, so he had to resign after eating. When he was leaving the gate of Hengwu courtyard, he met Xue Huaishi who came back, and hurriedly greeted him.

"It's okay, it's just that I almost missed your gift." Xue Huaishi stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"Where did father go this morning?" Lin Zhao asked.

Speaking of this, Xue Huaishi sighed, waved his hands and said: "It's over there at Kong Se Tang, my stomach hurts so badly all morning, I invited the imperial doctor to see it, it's better."

It turned out that Aunt Lian invited Xue Huaishi away.

'And remember, it's not a good thing for a man to have three wives and four concubines. '

For some reason, Lin Zhao suddenly thought of Mrs. Xue's words just now in his mind. Suddenly, the fog in his mind quietly dissipated. He didn't dare to say more, and left after chatting a few more words.

On the way back to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, Lin Zhao turned his head with nine twists and eighteen bends, looked up and saw Chun Equinox running over in a hurry, and said, "Ma'am, Shi Zifei has sent someone to pick up Xu Yinhuan."

Lin Zhao was surprised at first when he heard this, and then nodded.
