Ci Jinzhi

In the evening, Zhu fell ill.

For the people of Daxia, the New Year is not over until the fifteenth day, especially before the sixth day of the lunar new year. Going out to pay New Year's greetings and entertain guests, miscellaneous things can keep the hostess of a big family busy from morning till night.

For Zhu's illness, the matter can only fall on the old lady.The old lady had only been busy for two days before her eyes turned black and the soles of her feet fluttered, feeling that her old body would not be able to bear it.

Due to the hustle and bustle at the house, Duan Shaoqing also had an accident with the car that was supposed to be arranged, and delayed his trip once.

"Mother, what does the doctor say, are the second siblings still okay?"

The old lady's mouth was blistered, and when her son asked her, she became furious: "You uncle, why are you asking so many questions!"

Duan Shaoqing endured depression and said: "It's not that there are too many things at home, and my son loves you."

The old lady calmed down a bit, and then said: "The doctor didn't say anything about it. The person doesn't seem to have any serious problems. Who knows what's wrong, but he feels dizzy when he comes up."

The old lady even suspected that Zhu Shi was pretending, but after thinking about it, she thought it was impossible.

This is the first time that Mrs. Zhu has presided over the Chinese New Year. If you don't perform well, are you afraid of losing the right to housekeeper?

Mrs. Zhu really didn't care as much about housekeeping as the old lady thought. When it was the fourth day of the new year, she said to the old lady: "My daughter-in-law has a strange illness, and I always feel that something is wrong. Last night, I quietly invited Xiangu to see her. The fairy said that my daughter-in-law and the second girl Confrontation, should not be common..."

The old lady frowned.

Clash with Hua'er?
They didn't clash for so many years, and suddenly they clashed?

Mrs. Zhu leaned against the head of the bed with a weak look: "The second girl is a spoiled guest, there is no reason for the second girl to shy away from it. My daughter-in-law thinks, why don't our second room move out."

The old lady's eyes flashed brightly: "You mean to separate?"

Mrs. Zhu struggled to sit up straight: "Why would my daughter-in-law want to separate the family. I just moved out for a temporary stay, and we will move back when the second girl leaves the cabinet."

"What does this look like!" the old lady denied without thinking, "It's easy to move out, why don't you let outsiders speculate that your two houses are not compatible? Or should you let outsiders know that you and Hua'er are at odds? Hua'er is going to marry this year. I went to Guchangbo’s mansion. Zhu’s—”

Before the old lady finished her lecture, Zhu rolled her eyes and passed out.

The maids were flustered for a while, and Mrs. Zhu woke up slowly, looking very weak.

The old lady endured a few words of consolation from boredom, went back to the Ruyi Hall and thought about it, and came to her senses: Did the second girl offend Mrs. Zhu?
Thinking about the time when Mrs. Zhu fell ill, the old lady told her confidant Hong Yun to investigate.

The Shaoqing Mansion said that it was the butler of the Zhu family, but the old lady was the one who really held the fundamentals. Aunt Hongyun asked without too much effort.

"A little servant girl overheard the dispute between the second girl and the cousin girl. At that time, the fourth girl was also there..."

After hearing the report from her confidant, the old lady was so angry that she put the cup heavily on the table: "You damn girl!"

He was angry at Duan Yunhua for causing trouble, and at the same time angry at Zhu's ignorance.

After she got angry, the old lady didn't ask Xin You to ask about it, and she didn't mention this matter to Duan Yunhua, she just called her to Ruyi Hall and told her: "Uncle Guchang's house is different from ours, when you marry in, you will have to deal with the royal family." .Grandmother hired a nanny from the palace to teach you well, so as not to cause trouble in the future. As for you, during this time, you can learn the rules with peace of mind and prepare for marriage."

Hearing this plan full of self-interest, Duan Yunhua complied meekly, and when he later found out that it was difficult to find his own yard, that would be another story.

Hearing that the second girl stayed behind closed doors and did not learn the rules, Zhu's illness recovered.

The second master, Duan Wenbai, was a little worried about his wife: "Aren't you afraid that the old lady will let you set the rules?"

Mrs. Zhu smiled: "I'm too busy with all the things at home, the old lady doesn't have that kind of care."

"I'm afraid that the old lady will settle the score after the autumn when the eldest brother continues."

Zhu sneered: "I'll talk about that time at that time. I just know that if I keep silent now, I'm sorry for my Yan'er."

Duan Wenbai hugged Zhu Shi's shoulders: "It's all because of me, I wronged you and the children."

"Master, don't think so. You can't choose your origin. Eldest brother is an official in the court, and you take care of most of the family's property. The old lady needs us to share the burden for elder brother. No matter how much I go too far, there is a limit."

Duan Wenbai nodded.

"I also want to thank Qingqing..."

Xin You heard that Duan Yunhua was detained and could not leave the yard, and was happy for Duan Yunyan.

Girls who are protected by their mothers are happier after all.

"Cousin Qing—"

Xin You looked at the little girl approaching, and showed a gentle smile: "Is the fourth cousin okay?"

Duan Yunyan put a handkerchief in Xinyou's hand: "Mother said that if you get help from others, you will be rewarded. This is my thank you gift."

Xin You unfolded the handkerchief and saw a pair of birds standing on the blooming plum branches. She couldn't hide her surprise: "This is embroidered by my fourth cousin?"

"Well, the magpie I embroidered is on the plum blossom. The plum blossoms are blooming, and spring will come, so there will be good luck." The little girl looked solemn, "I am not good at embroidering now, and I will embroider it for my cousin after I finish it. A beautiful one."

"This handkerchief is very beautiful, thank you fourth cousin, I like it very much." Xin You carefully folded the handkerchief and put it away.

After receiving this handkerchief, until Chu Qi returned to Qingsong Bookstore, Xin You was in a good mood.

"Happy New Year, my master." Liu Zhou and Shitou rushed to wish Xin You a new year.

Xin You sent generous rewards to everyone in the bookstore, and the people in the bookstore were busy cleaning up and cleaning up, preparing for the opening tomorrow.

The eighth day of the first lunar month was a fine day, and the opening time of Qingsong Bookstore was a little later than the shops on this street, and the non-stop sound of firecrackers could be heard outside, making it very lively.

Liu Zhou and Shitou each carried a hang of firecrackers, ready to open the door to set them off.

Liu Zhou pulled the door and closed it quickly in fright.

Xin You was walking out with shopkeeper Hu and the others, and when she saw this, she cast a questioning look.

"Boss, there are a lot of people outside!" Liu Zhou looked nervous, "They all seem to be holding things in their hands, and I don't know what to do."

Blatant robbery?It won't be so rampant, will it?

"Let me see."

"Master—" Seeing Xin You approaching, shopkeeper Hu hurriedly shouted, "Let Liu Zhou see it."

If you really want to encounter trouble, let the young and strong bear it, and he will lead the owner through the back door.

"No need." Xin You smiled and opened the door.

With so many people in the bookstore, if something bad happened, she would have "seen" it a long time ago.

Outside the door, there was a group of people standing there, and Xin You caught sight of Gu Yu who was standing in front of her.

"you--"

Gu Yu took a step forward: "Miss Kou, thanks to you, the neighbors in the neighborhood have this new year, and this year of reunion. Today, one person from each family in the neighborhood came to wish you a New Year greeting."

After the boy finished speaking, all the people who came, old or young, male or female, all saluted the girl standing in front of Qingsong Bookstore.

"Miss Kou, Happy Chinese New Year!"
